The Sword of Somplak
The Underground World

On the way back to the location of the descent Ucup to the secret path, right in the middle of the intersection, Ucup suddenly stopped his steps.

“Wait for Bing Shi! All this time I have not reviewed all the areas of the hallway, I must know everything before I decide to bring all the animals back to the top,” pinta Ucup remembered with his plan.

Bing Shi turned his head back then nodded. 

“Good, Your Majesty. Servant will take Your Majesty around to review all the locations of this secret line,” said then turn to the left aisle.

Along the way, Bing Shi continued to tell what he found at every place the three passed by. Ucup was so amazed to see every room he saw.

“How intelligent the two Emperors build all this, each space has its own uniqueness, even has an excellent temperature and air regulator,” deck is so amazed.

The further the footsteps of the three walked, the more new things the three discovered until they entered such a spacious room surrounded by rare medicinal plants, the three were again made in astonishment. Apparently, Ucup continues to comb the area of the medicinal plant with his eyeballs spinning.

“Your Highness, you better be careful entering the medicine garden,” Bing Shi reminded him.

Ucup nodded as he continued to observe it.

“You wait here! I felt the existence of such powerful wind energy within,” pinta Ucup then set foot on the purple grass, entering the garden area.

Whirls of strong wind roared towards him, Ucup immediately waved his hands cursing the whirlwind that befell him. Instantly, the wind turned into a formless human being standing in front of him.

“Who are you, Mortal Man? Why did you enter this room? Only descendants of Emperor Xiao Junda and Emperor Fei Xin are allowed to enter it,” asked the shadow firmly.

“Lord Ucup, let me just handle it,” said Prince Xiao Li Dan straight out of the soul realm.

“I Prince Xiao Li Dan, grandson of Emperor Xiao Junda saluted the Master,” greeting the shadow of Prince Xiao Li Dan by clenching both hands forward and slightly bowing body.

The shadow figure fell silent watching the soul of the young man who greeted him with great respect.

“Welcome my grandson, Dan’er. Do you still remember me? I'm Xiao Jinai, the older brother of your grandfather,” welcome Xiao Jinai reminded him.

“Of course I remember it, Grandpa,” said Prince Xiao Li Dan.

The two souls conversing with each other told him all the things about the Xiao empire. Seeing the two so seriously, Ucup walked out of the rare medicinal plant space leaving the two behind.

Xue Xie and Bing Shi stared questioningly at Ucup who turned out of the medicinal plant room.

“We wait until the two souls have finished talking,” the love of Ucup to Xue Xie and Bing Shi who continue to look at him.

The two sat following Ucup. After waiting for quite a long time, Ucup still did not stand in place. Impatient Xue Xie threw in a question, “Young Master, are we still sitting here for a long time?”

Ucup opened his eyes with a gentle smile looking at Xue Xie in front of him, he then replied, “No, soon we will go.”

After that, he closed his eyes again. However, before long, he re-opened his eyes sensing the existence of prince Xiao Li Dan in his soul realm. 

“Come, we go directly to the place where we descend to enter this secret path,” take Ucup to Xue Xie and Bing Shi. The two of them woke up from their seats, Bing Shi again leading the way.

Once it was under the hole where it came out of the secret passageway, Ucup used the energy of the universe to modify the ground to create a ladder twenty-five spears long and enlarge the size of the hole so that the large-bodied Bing Shi could follow it out.

While Xue Xie, flabbergasted in astonishment saw the nearby hill that was no longer barren, it now looked so green with many trees lined around it.

Ucup then gave Bing Shi the task of re-entering the secret passage to get the many animals inside.  Not long after, there was a hissing sound of hundreds of animals slithering out of the hole in groups.

Everything is heading towards the green hill. Ucup who remembered the gaping hole along the foot of the hill immediately ran quickly towards the hill. With the energy of the universe, he closed the surrounding earthen hole.

Hundreds of animals melata silent on the spot as if understanding what Ucup is doing. After the hole at the foot of the hill was tightly closed, hundreds of animals spread out around the hill in search of a new home to occupy.

Turning back into place, he saw thousands of birds flying out of the hole. Xue Xie was stunned to see it, the loud sounds of the birds poking out at each other sounded like cries of freedom.

Other animals followed out of the hole in the same direction towards the hills and forests behind the hill where natural resources were abundant in it.

Almost a day Ucup and Xue Xie watched the horde of animals coming out of the hole, but not a single presence of ferocious animals came out, Ucup was astonished by it.

“Lord Ucup, wild animals are in the room farthest from other animals. You must unseal the formation to release it,” Prince Xiao Li Dan told him.

Ucup led Xue Xie into the hole, walking following the directions from Prince Xiao Li Dan to the location where all the ferocious beasts were located. Long enough for Ucup and Xue Xie to walk around him, Ucup saw Bing Shi in front of a color gradation that was the seal of the formation separating the ordinary animal area with the savage beast area.

“Bing Shi, why do you look so sad staring at the formation seal?” ask Ucup.

Groars!

Bing Shi roared, he then turned his head towards Ucup.

“In there are children and wives of servants, both of whom can never come out from within. My wife and son forbid my servant to enter it because there is no way out of it. For years they searched for it, but never found a way,” Bing Shi said so longed for his son and wife.

Ucup understood it and then made a pattern by utilizing the laws of space. Apparently, the light of the formation seal became irregular until the sound of cracks was heard and broke revealing the area inside.

Ucup, Xue Xie, and Bing Shi were flabbergasted to see an area so vast with nature that it looked the same as the surface area. Ucup and Xue Xie walked slowly inside, while Bing Shi galloped as he roared loudly looking for the whereabouts of his son and wife.

Prince Xiao Li Dan explained to Ucup from what Grandpa Xiao Jinai was telling him, that this secret pathway was an underground world built by both empires as the last bastion to keep life alive.

He also told about the prophecy of natural destruction that had been predicted by the ancestors of the two empires for thousands of years ago which was behind the construction of the underground world by the two empires.

Ucup continued to listen to what Prince Xiao Li Dan had told him.

“Brother Xiao, did any humans manage to enter this underground world? I feel unsure if what the two Emperors have painstakingly built, cannot save a single human race. Wouldn't this be a mere waste?” cut Ucup chiming.

“Yes, you're right, Lord Ucup. You should scan all areas of this underground world, such as the area of beasts protected by formation seals, it is likely that the human area is also so,” replied Prince Xiao Li And realized the words of Ucup.

Ucup then activates his eye of interest, then scans the area around him. He grinned and smiled at what he saw.

“I found it, Brother,” said Ucup so enthusiastic, “they are behind the wall where we rest.” 

Ucup then pulled Xue Xie's hand running towards the direction where they rested every day.

“Young Master, where are we going? Shouldn't we wait for Bing Shi to return?” xue Xie asked in astonishment at the sight of his hand being pulled by Ucup.
