As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1001
Chapter 1001 Hui Fan
At this moment, the sky was about to break into dawn, and there was a wisp of coldness in the wind. Xiao Chen turned his head slightly and said to Bai Luan, “You can go back. When dawn comes later, I’ll go to Lonely Peak to see how Zi Yuan is doing.”
“Mm” Bai Luan nodded and went down the mountain.
When dawn arrived, Xiao Chen went to the Lonely Peak. However, he saw that the trees and vegetation on the peak were verdant and blooming. On a cliff surrounded by clouds and mist, he saw a figure standing there. It wasn’t anyone else, but Zi Yuan.
Xiao Chen slowly approached. Suddenly, three silver needles condensed between his fingers and shot behind her.
Hearing the sound of the wind behind him, Zi Yuan leapt up and avoided the attack of the three silver needles. However, Xiao Chen’s hand did not stop and he continuously sent out more than a dozen silver needles.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The wind didn’t stop. Zi Yuan’s body was in midair, but she dodged like a god. Her movements were extremely agile. However, when the last silver needle shot towards her, her chest hurt and she let out a muffled snort. Her face immediately turned a little pale.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Xiao Chen sent out another silver needle. With a “ding” sound, the silver needle shot towards her flew away. Then, he tapped his feet and flew over in an instant, gently catching her from midair.
“Ah … Sovereign, Excellency … it’s you.”
Zi Yuan’s entire body trembled slightly. She had originally thought that it was Shen Jing, but she didn’t expect it to be Excellency. The two of them lightly landed on the edge of the cliff, petals dancing all over the sky beside the two of them. Zi Yuan blushed slightly and retreated, “Zi Yuan greets Excellency.”
“It seems that the two seniors, the Medical Sage and the Medicine Sage, are truly formidable. I believe that in at most a month, your skills will return to the past.”
Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently.
“It’s all thanks to the two seniors and Sister Shen Jing …”
Zi Yuan raised her head and secretly looked at him. Just now, she thought that the person who caught her was Shen Jing and wanted to lean her head on the other party’s body. She didn’t expect it to be Excellency.
Normally, Excellency was so cold, but that feeling just now … was also quite good. If I knew earlier, I would have pretended not to know it was him, hehe …
“What are you laughing at?”
“Ah … no … no …”
Zi Yuan shook her hands and quickly put away her thoughts. She scratched her head and said, “Well, I heard that something happened recently. How is the situation outside now?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m fine now.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he turned around and walked back and forth. Zi Yuan followed behind him and whispered, “Is that … Yun Sect again?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. When he returned to the courtyard, he happened to meet Shui Hanyan and Bu Yundian. Seeing Zi Yuan coming back from outside, Bu Yundian hurriedly said, “Hey, girl, why are you disobedient again? Didn’t you say that you shouldn’t leave the courtyard for a few days? What if …”
“Alright, alright, two seniors, it’s alright!”
Zi Yuan smiled and walked in. Xiao Chen arrived at the gate of the courtyard and greeted them softly, “Senior Medicine Saint, Senior Medicine Saint.”
Seeing him return, Shui Hanyan looked outside and asked, “How is the situation outside?”
“I’m fine now.”
Compared to Yun Sect’s ambush, Xiao Chen cared more about the mysterious woman. If she was really Luo Die, why would she do that?
The few of them entered the courtyard. In the afternoon, Xiao Chen, Shui Hanyan, and Bu Yundian went to the Clear Wind Stream. The scenery here was quiet, and the spiritual energy was very dense. It was very suitable for refining pills and medicines.
On the left side of the mountain stream was Bu Yundian, and on the right was Shui Hanyan. The two of them were separated by a mountain stream. This time, they became neighbors.
“Yun Sect, Yun Sect …”
Bu Yundian’s brows furrowed as he muttered to himself, “A hundred years ago, Yun Sect’s strength was not as strong as it is now, but now …”
At this point, After pondering for a while, he continued, “The sect master of Yun Sect, also known as Great Elder, is called ‘Yun Daozi’. This person has rarely appeared in the world since a hundred years ago. His current cultivation level is truly unfathomable. As for this Second Elder, his cultivation level is also extraordinary. Third Elder is the same Tang Qingshi that you met before.”
“Yun Daozi …”
Xiao Chen focused. Last time he saw Tang Qingshi, he felt that this person was unlikely to order an attack on Lustless Heaven. The person behind this ambush was most likely the sect master, Yun Daozi, who did not show up often.
“Seniors, do you know this person? Do you know his cultivation?”
“This …”
Bu Yundian pondered for a long time before he said, “I heard that this person has never appeared in the past few years, but he is good at controlling others with his Talisman Disgust Technique. In short … he is somewhat formidable. Anyway, Han Yan and I together will not be his match.”
Shui Hanyan continued, “Right now, your cultivation is still unstable and you are unable to grasp the mysteries of the Saint realm. I think it is better not to provoke this person so easily. This time, they suddenly attacked because of the help of the mysterious woman you mentioned …”
At this point, she paused and continued, “Without the help of this mysterious woman, it would be impossible for Yun Daozi to come out personally. At least for the time being, none of Yun Sect’s three Quasi-Saints will come out. As long as these three Quasi-Saints do not come out, do you think anyone else can pose a threat to Lustless Heaven?”
“Hanyan is right …”
Bu Yundian stroked his beard and looked at Xiao Chen. “There’s less than a year left before the Peerless Society. The people who chased after your father will definitely show up one by one. Therefore, the old man feels that your priority now is to raise your cultivation by another level. Only then will you have the right to speak at the Peerless Society. However …”
At this point, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen. With a puzzled expression, he said, “I can tell that your cultivation is only around the True Cave Stage, but why is it that even the black and white impermanence of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Alliance is not your opponent?”
Not only was Bu Yundian puzzled, even Shui Hanyan was puzzled. Even if an ordinary person cultivated the legendary fragment of the ancient Heavenly Scripture, they might not be able to see such a profound skill like him, right?
After a while, Bu Yundian said, “Why don’t I try to refine the ‘Heavenly Devil Pill’ in these few months? Don’t look at the name, but after consuming the pill, you will definitely break through the shackles of cultivation. Perhaps you …”
“No …”
Before Bu Yundian could continue, Xiao Chen shook his head and interrupted. He still remembered what he had said to him in Purple Night Peak and Ling Yin.
There were no shortcuts to cultivation. Pills could strengthen one’s cultivation for a while and reach a realm that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. However, in this lifetime, one could only reach that realm. It was no longer possible to see the legendary realm.
“What? Brat, are you looking down on the pills I refined?” Bu Yundian looked at him eagerly. “No.” Xiao Chen shook his head.
He believed that the medicinal pills refined by the Alchemist Saint would have something that ordinary people could not compare to. The medicinal pills refined by ordinary people would often be accompanied by the side effects that Master had mentioned, but the Alchemist Saint would definitely be able to minimize the side effects to the point that they were almost non-existent.
However, he knew that this time, even if he were to consume the pills refined by the Alchemist Saint, it would probably be useless. What he needed was not the pills, but the enhancement of his Concept. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to see the mysteries of the Saint realm.
“Then why?”
Bu Yundian still looked at him puzzled. One had to know that there were countless people begging him to refine medicine in Spirit Ruins Realm, but this kid was born out of luck.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the faint white clouds outside the mountain stream. Suddenly, he said, “Probably … I need to return to the mortal world.”
“Back to the mortal world?”
Shui Hanyan and Bu Yundian were slightly stunned as they looked into the depths of the clouds. However, they saw a few immortal islands looming far away from the secular clamor.
As everyone knew, if a cultivator had already embarked on the path of cultivation, he would have to cut off three thousand mortal karma before he could become an immortal in Japan.
But how could he return to the mortal world? If karma were to be added again, it would probably damage the Dao and cause another calamity.
“That’s right, go back to the mortal world.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen looked at the clouds and said calmly.
