As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1033
Chapter 1033 Changsheng
Suddenly, he remembered that day when Leng Baihu had drawn down the Divine Lightning Restraint in the array. At that time, he clearly no longer had any cultivation base, but he suddenly had such a powerful force. Could it be this blood jade?
And this blood jade seemed to contain a kind of loneliness. Every night, he could feel that it was an indescribable loneliness.
This blood jade is called the Samsara Jade, but what exactly is its origin, and what kind of secret is it hiding …
Xiao Chen took the blood jade out of his bosom. Under the moonlight, the blood patterns in the jade could be clearly seen. Many times, he had the illusion that this jade was alive.
And when he knew that this jade was called the Samsara Jade, he went to check ancient books. Although there weren’t many records about the Samsara Jade in those ancient books, most of them were identical.
The Samsara Jade was an ancient treasure. Its origin could not be traced back long ago. This jade could guarantee that its owner’s soul would remain imperishable for tens of thousands of years. It was also indestructible. No divine weapon could destroy it. For tens of thousands of years, no one had been able to destroy it. Even though the previous era had been destroyed, this jade was still passed down.
Previously, Xiao Chen had always thought that this jade was given to him by his master. Later, he found out that this jade had always been on his body. When Master saved him back then, he must have noticed that the jade was extraordinary. Only then did he take it away from his body. Only when he went down the mountain did he take it back to him.
Even today, he still remembered that countless Immortal Devil Divine Buddha Shadows had suddenly appeared in the East China Sea, and this jade had actually suppressed all those Immortal Devil Divine Buddha Shadows. What exactly was in the jade to be so powerful …
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Why did these Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas appear beside him? What exactly was he …
Who was the Three Corpse Demon who laid it on him …
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and the fog seemed to be constantly layer by layer, surrounding him. It was unknown when it would be able to be uncovered layer by layer.
“Brother Chen …”
Just as he was lost in thought, Leng Baihu suddenly walked up from behind. Xiao Chen put away the Samsara Jade and looked at him, “What’s wrong?”
“I…”
Leng Baihu hesitated for a moment and didn’t know what to say. After a long while, he asked, “Brother Chen came to SorrowlessValley to find the Flower of Carefree. Is it the same as them? Is it for that … long life?”
Before this, he had never thought that Xiao Chen was looking for the Carefree Flower in order to live a long life. However, these past few days, he had seen too much, more than he had seen in the past sixteen years.
He had thought that cultivators were all immortals with immortal temperament, untainted by worldly fireworks.
However, now that he saw these people, he realized that these people had more desires than mortals. They wanted to live forever, and even had no choice but to refine pills from mortals that were heaven-defying.
Xiao Chen looked at him and didn’t answer him. Instead, he asked, “In your opinion, what is longevity?”
“I…”
When Leng Baihu saw him ask him this question, he raised his head, but after thinking for a while, he slowly lowered his head.
“I, I don’t know …”
Xiao Chen slowly stood up and allowed the cold wind to blow on his face. He looked at the distant mountain shadow and said, “Everyone wants to live forever, because only immortality has limitless possibilities. However, they do not know that when the day of immortality comes, they will just watch the people around them die one by one and end up alone.”
When he said this, he turned around and looked at Leng Baihu, “The so-called long life is to watch others die one by one.”
“Watching others die one by one …”
Leng Baihu raised his head and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. At this moment, he couldn’t understand what he was saying.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked into the distance, saying, “What if in a few thousand years, when things change and the people around you are gone, the enemies and friends of yours have all turned into bones in the tomb? What do you think?”
“I…”
Hearing him ask him this, Leng Baihu was even more stunned. What exactly was longevity? If he was the only one left after a few thousand years, and no one else understood what he said, then what kind of loneliness would it be …
“Everyone is looking for longevity, but they are often lost in it.” Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him.
“Chen, Brother Chen …”
Leng Baihu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, “Hug, I’m sorry, I just … shouldn’t have asked you that.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “Right now, my cultivation has been lost. Only you know about this matter. If anyone else finds out, we might all die here. The path ahead is very dangerous.”
“Then …”
Leng Baihu was slightly stunned. He hurriedly looked around and his expression became very vigilant, as if he was afraid that this sentence would cause others to hear him.
“Don’t worry, there’s no one nearby.” Xiao Chen’s face was as calm as water. Since he dared to say it, he was sure that no one would listen.
Although cultivators’ divine sense could easily spread out for a hundred kilometers, there were still restrictions in the valley. Not to mention whether it could spread that far, even if it could, with so many people in the valley, who would dare to unscrupulously release their divine sense?
Ten thousand steps back, he didn’t have any cultivation, but his spiritual sense was still sharp. No matter how high his cultivation was, if he were to use his spiritual sense to spy on him, it was impossible for him to be unable to detect it.
“Mm …”
Leng Baihu nodded his head. For some reason, even if the person in front of him did not have any cultivation, every single word could always calm him down.
“Then what should we do next?”
Even now, Leng Baihu had no intention of retreating. Xiao Chen looked at the distant mountain shadows and said, “I can see that the Spiritual Energy here is very abnormal. There must be a place where Spiritual Energy gathers in the center of the valley. That is where we are going next, and it is also the most dangerous place.”
“The most dangerous place …”
Leng Baihu followed his gaze, and his gaze finally became firm. His tone was also very firm, “I’m not afraid. No matter how dangerous the place is, we’ve already walked over. Right now, we’re just one last step away, but …”
When he said this, he turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, “How do we get to the center of the valley? It seems like the rest of us can’t find a way into it right now …”
“Wait.”
“Wait?”
“That’s right. Wait three days.”
Xiao Chen looked at the distant mountain shadow and said, “Spiritual Energy has begun to gather. In three days, the SorrowlessValley of Spiritual Energy will reach its strongest. At that time, all restrictions outside will be lifted temporarily …”
“Then …”
Leng Baihu was slightly stunned and said, “At that time, isn’t everyone going to be able to enter? Isn’t everyone going to be able to find their way in …”
“That’s why we need to be faster than them.” Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him.
…
Over the next three days, everyone was searching for a way to enter the heart of SorrowlessValley. However, even if they searched for three days and three nights without rest, no one could find a way to enter. Moreover, layers of fog and restrictions blocked them outside. No one could forcefully cross through them.
“Ling’er, did you sense it?”
In a dense forest, Xiao Meng’er was carefully searching while Xiao Ling’er was sensing it from the side. However, even if her Spiritual Energy was pure and possessed an extremely powerful Qi Seeing Technique, it would still be difficult for her to find the entrance for a moment.
On the other side, Chen Yufeng, his sister Chen Ruyu, and some other members of the Chen Clan were also trying their best to find a way in. However, after three days and three nights, they were still unable to find a way in the boundless mountains.
As for Xiao Chen and Leng Baihu, the two of them were also searching. However, after searching for so long, they were trapped outside like the others, unable to find a way to enter.
“Brother Chen … what should we do now?”
Leng Baihu looked around. The restriction outside gradually dissipated. More and more people were coming inside. If everyone came inside, then even if they found a way to enter the center of SorrowlessValley, everyone would definitely rush in. That way, it would be meaningless.
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Right now, he was unable to search with his divine sense. It wasn’t just him. Under the interference of this powerful Spiritual Energy, other people were also unable to find their way with their divine sense. No matter how high their cultivation was, it was useless in this place.
“Squeak, squeak …”
Just as the two of them were at a loss, two strange sounds suddenly came from somewhere. Leng Baihu looked at the sound and saw a snow-white shadow in a bush …
“Brother Chen, look! It was you who saved Snow Fox that day …”
Leng Baihu’s face revealed a look of joy. Suddenly, he remembered Xiao Chen’s words that day. This fox thought that he wanted to hurt it, so it bit him. But if it knew that it was to save it, it would return to repay its kindness …
“Squeak, squeak!”
Xue Hu called out to the two of them twice and immediately went deep into the bushes. Xiao Chen’s expression was certain as he said, “He knows the way. Follow him.” As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them immediately followed behind the bushes.
