Chapter 2175: Origin of Pandora’s Box

Li Xie did not directly answer Ye Chenfeng’s question, but his brow furrowed, and his expression gradually turned serious.

"Sir, to be frank, this is one of the two most taboo and mysterious techniques of my family. The other technique is exactly the opposite of this one."

Li Xie said after a moment.

At this time, Ye Chenfeng handed over the prepared model of the Pandora’s Box to Li Xie.

Especially the patterns on it roughly resemble Pandora’s Box.

"Yes, this is the other one. The two techniques look similar but secretly contain the principle of yin and yang, which are exactly opposite."

Li Xie was so excited that his voice broke.

"Your clan’s most taboo and mysterious?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

"Exactly! Because performing these two techniques requires the cost of one’s life! The carved patterns are blood grooves that will forcibly drain all your blood and life essence. Only then can the work be considered complete."

Li Xie said a bit shakily.

"I see."

Ye Chenfeng was somewhat moved too, not expecting this thing to be so sinister.

A bit too cruel!

It requires the cost of life to forge such a thing!

"What is the purpose of these two boxes then?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

"One represents destruction, the other rebirth."

Li Xie answered.

Li Xie added, "It is true destruction and rebirth, because the bizarre nature of my clan, this box possesses unbelievable abilities. Sir, I know you are very powerful, but once you fall into these two boxes, you will suffer the same fate. If it’s destruction, you will be destroyed too!"

Ye Chenfeng was extremely shocked.

Hadn’t expected it to be so strong!

"This one must be rebirth, the other one is destruction."

Ye Chenfeng pointed to the box containing the Heavenly Mystery Artifact, speaking with certainty.

Only to see Li Xie shake his head: "No, sir, you are wrong. This one is destruction, the other is rebirth. Unexpected, huh!"

"What? Reversed?"

Ye Chenfeng was stunned.

His face was full of disbelief.

It turns out Pandora’s Box is meant to rebirth the existence inside, while the Heavenly Mystery Artifact’s box is destruction.

"No, when sealing the existence inside Pandora’s Box back then someone must have tampered with it, switching the two boxes."

Ye Chenfeng suddenly realized, exclaiming repeatedly.

He also understood why the Heavenly Mystery Artifact’s box was destruction.

Because he had seen what the Heavenly Mystery Artifact was.

No wonder when he and the Great Void Illusion Realm had seen the Heavenly Mystery Artifact, it was like that.

The answer was right here.

Ye Chenfeng breathed quickly, and only composed himself after a while.

"If I’m not mistaken, these two boxes should come from the same era. Li Xie, can you tell from which era the boxes come?"

Ye Chenfeng asked.

He already had a bold guess in his mind.

"Alright, let me try."

Li Xie began to calculate while holding the box.

After a long time, Li Xie, sweating profusely, told Ye Chenfeng, "Sir, about twelve hundred years ago!"

"Twelve hundred years ago from now?"

Ye Chenfeng muttered.

"Twelve hundred years ago, wouldn’t that be the Tang Dynasty? The era of Yuan Tiangang or Li Chunfeng?"

Speaking of this era, Ye Chenfeng immediately thought of these two people.

"It’s connected now. Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are definitely related."

Ye Chenfeng thought of another issue, he had investigated the secrets of the Immortal Sect, back when the largest sect in the Heavenly Sect World, Divine Brilliance Realm, also left the Heavenly Sect World a thousand years ago and then vanished.

According to the timeline, it matches perfectly.

At that time, various forces united to deal with the existence in Pandora’s Box, but in the meantime, someone swapped the two boxes.

The existence in Pandora’s Box was nearly dead, but relied on the box to be reborn.

If it’s correct, Pandora’s Box should also have been made during this time.

But Ye Chenfeng’s thoughts were quickly denied by Li Xie: "Sir, there’s a question — firstly, our clan does not bear females, solely male lineage. Secondly, never more than two generations coexist."

Li Xie stated two points of information, first, in each generation, there can be only one person, and a male. Secondly, only the father and son can coexist, but not the ancestor.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean the two boxes cannot be made simultaneously; at most, only two generations coexist? If both boxes were created simultaneously, your clan would have been extinct already?"

"Exactly! That’s it!"

Li Xie nodded.

Ye Chenfeng touched his nose: "If that’s the case, then it means the other box is not from the same era as this box. There’s definitely a big story here, not that simple."

Li Xie nodded: "Things are getting more complicated, but from my perspective, the main point is the totem on your body. If the totem is unraveled, many of our issues would accordingly be resolved!"

"Yes! There are many things still unclear!"

Ye Chenfeng shook his head helplessly.

"Sir, there’s another issue. The person you arranged to pretend to be me won’t last long. The task is about to be completed soon, and surely someone will come to check."

Li Xie proposed another question.

"Don’t worry about it, let’s take it one step at a time!"

Ye Chenfeng said.

"Alright, let me take you to the Island Nation first, and then we’ll go to that ancient country I mentioned."

Ye Chenfeng said.

He planned to rescue Ye Tiannan first, then go to the ancient country, and then meet the brothers of the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army, and finally attack the Academy of Gods.

Afterwards, Ye Chenfeng took Li Xie to the Island Nation.

"What’s going on? Where is Ye Tiannan?"

Ye Chenfeng asked Li Ergou and others.

"To inform the Venerable, on that day Ye Tiannan and an expert from the Island Nation’s Imperial Family fought all the way to Mount Fuji, and then both fell into the crater and never came out again."

Li Ergou replied.

"Oh, I see. Let’s go check Mount Fuji."

Soon, Ye Chenfeng and his party arrived at the summit of Mount Fuji.

The boiling lava in the crater surged, and the fog obscured the sky.

Ye Chenfeng stood there, letting the lava splash on him, making a dull thunderous sound.

His consciousness had already penetrated into the volcano, extending continuously.

But there was no sight of Ye Tiannan or his opponent.

"Perhaps I must go down personally to investigate!"

In the next moment, Ye Chenfeng, like an ancient devouring beast, absorbed the entire volcano’s lava, like a whale sucking water.

A terrifying scene played out...

Li Xie was almost scared silly!

Soon, the spectacle of the Mount Fuji volcanic eruption vanished, leaving only a towering figure.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the void.

A figure like a Heavenly Fairy gradually descended, her entire being as scorching as the blazing sun.

"It’s the Solar Empress!"

The Martial Arts World of the Island Nation was shocked, as the legendary Solar Empress appeared at this moment.

"Oh? Could it be you? Old acquaintance!"

Ye Chenfeng murmured.
