As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1018
Chapter 1018 Fog Flower Forest
The cold wind blew past, and the hillside was still suffused with a layer of bloody aura. Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the two people behind him. Leng Baihu loosened his sleeves, and his gaze seemed to become resolute. “No, it’s fine, Brother Wu Chen, you can go down …”
“Yes.” Xiao Chen nodded slightly and didn’t say anything else. He lightly tapped his feet and immediately flew towards the altar with his qinggong.
When they landed on the altar, the surrounding bloody aura became even denser. The smell emitted from the blood pools made people sick.
Even though those people had already left, Xiao Chen was still vigilant and carefully arrived at the place where Old man Zi Yi had fallen.
He slowly squatted down and leaned over. Although this person was no longer breathing and his primordial spirit had been shattered, there was still a trace of fire of life, like the lamp wick after a candle was extinguished, and there was also a trace of sparks flickering.
Judging from the clothes of those people and those disciples who were controlled by Fu Yan, Xiao Chen had roughly guessed that these were Yun Sect’s people.
Not surprisingly, the legendary Worry-free Valley was located in the Land of Mortal World of Western Shu, and Yun Sect was also located in the Land of Ancient Shu. There was no reason not to peek at it since it was so close to each other.
But just now, I heard from these people that as long as you consume the Mortal Transformation Pill refined from human blood, you will be able to enter the Immortal Valley. The Immortal Valley amongst those few people should be the Carefree Valley. If you enter the Carefree Valley and find the Carefree Flower, you will be able to live forever …
Senior Suzhou, he also asked himself to find this flower. What exactly is this flower?
Could it be that it really has the miraculous effect of making people live forever?
Otherwise, how could these people in Yun Sect be so obsessed? For more than ten years, they actually didn’t hesitate to use the blood of countless mortals to condense the Mortal Transformation Blood Pill …
But now that Old man Zi Yi was dead, he probably couldn’t find anything. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed and he suddenly raised his hand to cover Old man Zi Yi’s head. At this moment, an endless force enveloped Old man Zi Yi’s entire body.
Controlling life and death was a unique divine ability in the world. Even though there were still people who could control life and death, it was impossible for them to be able to control life and death at the same time.
Right now, even if his entire cultivation base was completely sealed, he would not be able to seal this peerless divine ability.
At this moment, under the shrouding of this endless force, Old man Zi Yi’s already dispersed soul seemed to have recondensed. He actually moved his fingers and finally opened his eyes. Although his eyes were bloody red and looked terrifying, there was indeed a trace of weak breathing.
If the people outside saw this scene, no one would dare believe it. At this moment, Xiao Ling’er and Leng Baihu could not see what Xiao Chen was doing on the hillside behind them. However, Xiao Ling’er’s spiritual sense was sharp. At this moment, she seemed to have sensed something.
At this time, on the side of the altar, there was a gust of dark wind. Xiao Chen blocked Old man Zi Yi with his body, preventing Leng Baihu and Xiao Ling’er from seeing this strange scene of “resurrection” on the hillside behind him.
Finally, the aura of life on Old man Zi Yi’s body grew stronger and stronger. In the end, he finally recovered a little bit of his consciousness. However, it was only a wisp of his remaining consciousness and could not be considered to be truly “alive”.
“Where is the Immortal Valley you’re talking about?”
Xiao Chen controlled Old man Zi Yi’s life and death with his life force. After a long time, Old man Zi Yi seemed to gradually regain consciousness. He said intermittently, “Northwest … Northwest … 800 miles, Fog Flower Forest … End …”
Eight hundred miles northwest, Misty Flower Forest …
Xiao Chen roughly understood the location and asked again, “Why do you need to consume a living pill refined by a mortal before you can enter?”
“Mortal … Mortal Living Pills …”
Old man Zi Yi’s aura was weak, and his consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. He said intermittently, “There are restrictions outside the valley … restriction formations … it’s difficult for cultivators to enter them … forcefully enter the valley, end up in ashes …”
“I see …”
Xiao Chen understood a bit and asked again, “Did you set up the Zhou Mountain Mystic Sect’s escape array?”
“No, it’s not …”
Old man Zi Yi shook his head and said weakly, “It’s an original vicious formation … to prevent cultivators from intruding … Northwest, the Fog Flower Forest, is … Immortal Valley, the entrance to Immortal Valley … You, who are you …”
At the end of his sentence, Old man Zi Yi’s consciousness slowly reached its clearest state. It was like the moment the candle was about to go out, it would emit the most dazzling light in an instant.
At this moment, he stared motionlessly at the white-haired young man in front of him. He knew that he was already dead, but why was this young man able to bring him back to life? What kind of divine ability is this …
“You … Who exactly are you …”
Old man Zi Yi didn’t want to die, but he knew that his life force was running out. At this moment, it was all because of the young man’s divine ability that he was able to “resurrect”. However, this short life would soon disappear, like a flash of candle fire, and then return to seclusion forever.
Xiao Chen looked at him silently. The gaze of a dying person. Ever since he possessed the ability to control life and death, it was as if he had seen countless lives and deaths in this world.
“You still have unfinished business.” Xiao Chen’s eyes remained motionless as he looked at him and said quietly.
“Not … not done …”
Old man Zi Yi’s aura gradually weakened. At this moment, his gaze gradually calmed down and he slowly said, “I have a disciple … His name is Shi Haoping, and I haven’t returned for more than ten years. I wonder if he’s fine … Young Hero, if you can … please protect him and leave Yun Sect …”
Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. He asked again, “Is there anything else?”
“No, no … Thank you, thank you Young Hero …”
Old man Zi Yi’s aura grew weaker and weaker. Finally, he closed his eyes and no longer spoke.
Xiao Chen slowly recovered his life force, and the gale around him also stopped. He had just asked the other party if there were any unfinished business, not because the other party had told him where SorrowlessValley was.
It was a person who had already died, yet he had given the other party a new “life”. However, this life was only a short moment. Perhaps even he himself could not tell this feeling.
A moment later, Old man Zi Yi’s face turned as pale as frost. The fire of life had been completely extinguished, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, two footsteps sounded from outside the altar. Xiao Ling’er and Leng Baihu walked over. The two of them saw him squatting on the altar for so long on the hillside. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen, so they came down to take a look.
“Brother Wu Chen … did you detect anything?”
Leng Baihu looked at the corpse of Old man Zi Yi on the altar, then looked at the blood pool around him. He pinched his fingers tightly and said hatefully, “I thought that these Immortal Sect experts were all immortals from the Fu Ze side, but I didn’t expect them to be …”
Xiao Ling’er walked over to the altar. Looking at the blood all over the ground, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared. But just now, on the hillside, she clearly felt that Old man Zi Yi seemed to have come back to life. How come now … it seemed like nothing had happened?
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. Then, he looked at Leng Baihu and said, “Let’s leave this place first.”
Immediately, the three of them left this terrifying place with dense Yin Qi. After leaving, a layer of thick fog gradually filled the mountain, causing the moonlight to become hazy.
Xiao Ling’er stopped and looked at the increasingly dense fog around her. She whispered, “Where are we going now?”
Xiao Chen stared at the faintly discernible outline of the mountain in the northwest and asked, “Can you sense where Xiao Meng’er is now?”
“Sister? Let me try …”
Xiao Ling’er crossed his hands in front of his chest and gently closed his eyes. There was a pendant hanging around her neck. The pendant was made of strange jade, stronger than ordinary jade Spiritual Energy. However, at this moment, she was unable to sense where Xiao Meng’er was.
“Still can’t …”
After trying for a long time, Xiao Ling’er opened his eyes and shook his head at Xiao Chen. “There’s something strange about Spiritual Energy. I can’t sense where Spiritual Energy is with my sister’s jade stone …”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and didn’t ask any further. He looked at the outline of the mountain and said, “Eight hundred miles away, there is a Fog Flower Forest. At the end is the entrance to SorrowlessValley. We should go there now, but be careful. Those people were there just now.”
“Those people just now …”
Thinking of those people on the altar just now, although Leng Baihu felt resentment in his heart, he still felt a bit of fear. Especially the red-clothed old man. He was decisive and cruel. He didn’t even blink his eyes when he killed his fellow disciples. It could be imagined that this person was simply a cold-blooded and heartless murderer …
“Are you afraid?”
Xiao Chen looked at Leng Baihu. At this moment, there were no waves or waves on his face. When Leng Baihu heard his question, he raised his head and was slightly stunned. However, when he saw his calm gaze, the fear in his heart slowly turned into a kind of courage.
“I’m not afraid!”
Leng Baihu straightened his chest and looked at the blood pool around him. He said hatefully, “These people refine pills with living people. They are cold-blooded and heartless. I’m not afraid of them!”
“Then, then I’m not afraid either …”
Xiao Ling’er said cowardly. At the end of her sentence, she lifted her head and secretly glanced at Xiao Chen. She muttered softly, “Big sister always says I’m a cowardly cat, but I’m not …”
Xiao Chen knew that it was dangerous to go to SorrowlessValley this time. Originally, the two of them shouldn’t be involved, but if they were to leave now, it would be even more dangerous.
“Let’s go.”
He didn’t hesitate anymore. Even though his cultivation was sealed, he wasn’t much different from the cultivators of the mortal world. Even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t be his match if they fought head-on. As for the three old men from Yun Sect, their cultivation was clearly not low.
However, the three of them had already consumed a living pill refined from mortals. According to what Old man Zi Yi had just said, there was an extremely powerful restriction outside SorrowlessValley. At that time, the cultivation of the three of them would also be limited.
