As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1063
Chapter 1063 The Rising Wind Forebodes the Coming Storm
“Little friend Xiao, what … have you thought of?” Seeing him suddenly pondering for so long, Daoist Gudeng asked.
“No …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen regained his senses and continued to ask, “What does Four Daoists know about this nameless devil? Is it under this tower?”
“No …”
Daoist Withered Wood shook his head, “If it was under this tower, I’m afraid that with the power of that devil, it would have already broken through the seal. Perhaps Little friend Xiao did not know that there was an extremely powerful Profound Realm below Celestial Pogoda, and this devil was suppressed within the Profound Realm.”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen focused his attention. Adept Qingyang continued, “This Profound Realm was not set up by the three ancestors back then. As for who it was, I don’t know anymore … In short, it’s very powerful. Otherwise, how could I trap that devil inside?” However, it is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult to enter the Profound Realm. Even we have no way to do it now … I hope that Little friend Xiao will keep this matter a secret. ”
“Naturally.”
Xiao Chen focused. He thought that Celestial Pogoda had wanted Power of Azure Dragon to reinforce the seal on the Profound Realm. As expected, all the disciples of the Heavenly Word Realm in the past had gone to the Profound Realm. Life and death were still unknown, and none of the people who had entered the Profound Realm to suppress the Ancient Demons had come out. It seemed that it was dangerous.
Daoist Gudeng sighed softly and said, “Almost a thousand years ago, it was already faintly impossible to suppress this nameless devil. I heard that at that time, terrifying devil howls could be heard almost every night in Celestial Pogoda, and layers of devil energy enveloped the sky. How terrifying was it?”
He paused for a moment before shaking his head and sighing. He continued, “At that time, in order to keep this secret and prevent the cultivators in the city from panicking, three seniors with heavenly magic power forcibly used formations to block this devil energy within the Celestial Pogoda. They only said that the formations were out of balance and caused a disturbance to the outside world.”
Daoist Taiwu continued, “But paper cannot hide fire, In the end, the three seniors made a shocking decision. The three of them decided to enter the Profound Realm themselves. Since then, Celestial Pogoda has slowly regained its tranquility. The devil energy that enveloped Celestial Pogoda gradually dissipated without the sound of the devil whistling. However, after a thousand years, there were no news of the three seniors. Whether they were alive or dead, no one knew … ”
At the end of his sentence, Daoist Taiwu turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. He continued, “In the next thousand years, every day when the Extreme Tower began to shake again, some people with high cultivation would be allowed to enter the Profound Realm. However, not a single person has come out of the Profound Realm. In this thousand years, Celestial Pogoda has gradually declined.”
True Monk Lonely Lamp said, “Little friend Xiao can only let Miss Wei Yang know about this matter. Don’t tell anyone else.”
“I know …”
Xiao Chen nodded. He didn’t expect Celestial Pogoda to hide such a big secret, but why didn’t he reveal it and let everyone think of a way?
However, hope was often beautiful, but reality was always cruel. If such a big matter were to be spread out, it would probably bring more serious consequences to the entire Celestial Pogoda.
After all, some people didn’t want the nameless devil to come out, and would some people want the nameless devil to come out? Especially those people from the Four Seas and Eight Desolates …
It was probably because of this that the seniors of the past generations in Celestial Pogoda decided to keep this secret after thinking about it for a while.
At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but think of Xuanqing Sect. That night, he heard from his junior sister that Xuanqing Sect also had a great secret in the world. Then what was Xuanqing Sect’s secret?
Xuanqing Sect’s secret could not be a devil, because a place like Xuanqing Sect was located in the center of the ancient land of Xianyuan. If there was a devil suppressed under the mountain, it would probably set off a storm in the entire human world.
Since it wasn’t a demon, then what exactly was Xuanqing Sect’s secret?
At this moment, Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and stopped thinking about what secrets Xuanqing Sect was hiding. The most urgent matter was to find a way to deal with True Monarch Xuanxiao and rescue Ku Lingzi. As for the nameless demons in the Profound Realm below Celestial Pogoda, there shouldn’t be any major changes in three to five years.
Daoist Taiwu also saw through his current thoughts. The most urgent matter now was to resolve the matter of True Monarch Xuanxiao. He said, “Forget it, for the time being, Xuanxiao Palace is currently in control of many cultivation forces. If we want to fight against them, our current strength alone is not enough …”
Of course, Xiao Chen was clear about the current situation. The current True Monarch Xuanxiao was no longer the True Monarch Xuanxiao of the past. Even he was not 100% sure of his terrifying strength.
Unless he was able to invite a few Quasi-Saints from the Spirit Ruins Realm, this was a long journey. Moreover, he had already owed everyone a favor in order to set up the Heaven Covering Formation last time. How could he owe them one favor after another?
After a while, he said, “I have a plan. I wonder if Four Daoists will listen?”
“Oh? I wonder what Little friend Xiao’s plan is? Tell me quickly …” Hearing that he had a plan, the four of them looked at him motionlessly.
…
It was not until dawn that Xiao Chen came out of the tower, and Hua Weiyang waited outside for the night. Seeing him come out, he immediately stepped forward and said, “You finally came out. What did Four Daoists say?”
“Wei Yang … why don’t you go back and rest?” Xiao Chen immediately walked over. Seeing that there were still dew drops on the ends of her hair, he knew that she had been standing here all night and hadn’t left.
‘”I thought you would come out soon. I was afraid that you would come out the moment I left” Hua Weiyang said softly. Finally, he asked, “Have you discussed all night and come up with a countermeasure?”
“The current situation … is not very good.”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He looked up at the sky and saw layers of dark clouds shrouding the sky. There was a feeling that he couldn’t breathe. He didn’t know if his plan from last night would succeed.
Hua Weiyang had already guessed that when she hadn’t arrived in Immortal North Ancient Realm, she didn’t think it would be easy, but when she did, she realized that everything was not simple.
“By the way, the four people from Night Shade sent back the news last night. They will arrive in Tianfeng City very soon. It should be within these two days.”
“En” Xiao Chen nodded and walked forward. “This is not the place to talk. Let’s go.”
After returning to the courtyard, Xiao Chen told her what she had said to Four Daoists last night. After listening to it, Hua Weiyang was not surprised. When she first came to Celestial Pogoda, she had already felt it that night, but she did not tell Xiao Chen.
As for True Monarch Xuanxiao, there was nothing else to say. This time, there would be a great battle.
Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “In a few days, the Heavenly Tide Sword Sect, Heavenly Spirit Sect, and some other sects will come to Celestial Pogoda. No matter what, there will be a surge of fighting strength at that time.”
“Mm …”
Hua Weiyang nodded and looked at the layers of clouds gathering outside the window. At this moment, he couldn’t help but frown … The rain was coming, Fengman Attic.
Over the next few days, Celestial Pogoda put up a heavy security guard. On the third day, the four of them brought back news that Night Shade had already begun to move.
On the seventh day, the Heavenly Tide Sword Sect’s Sect Master arrived. That was Qin E’s father, who was known as the “Heavenly Tide Sword Sovereign”. His swordsmanship could be said to be extraordinary. The famous sword in his hand, “Zhanshuang”, was even more shocking to all sects.
Apart from Qin Tianzong of the Tian Lan Sword Sect, Heavenly Spirit Sect’s “grandmother” Murong Xi also came today. She was Ling Luan’s grandmother, but the other disciples of Heavenly Spirit Sect also kindly addressed her as “grandmother”.
Xiao Chen had seen Murong Xi in the Heavenly Spirit Sect back then. He naturally remembered now. However, twenty years later, when Murong Xi saw him again, his heart was inevitably shocked by his cultivation. However, his face was not revealed.
Apart from the Tian Lan Sword Sect and Heavenly Spirit Sect, there were also many other clans and sects that had come to Celestial Pogoda. At this moment, everyone was sitting in the main hall.
In the left hall, the middle-aged man dressed in a red robe was Qin Tianzong. He naturally knew about the conflict between Qin E and Xiao Chen.
However, at that time, he also knew that his daughter’s young miss temper. It was a good thing that someone could treat her. Now that he saw this “Liao Wuchen”, he praised him endlessly. He was still so young, yet he possessed such a skill. It was truly unparalleled.
After Yan Xiao chatted for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, “Little friend Wu Chen, are you already married?”
This sentence instantly caused the entire hall to quieten down. Everyone looked towards him. After all, the words “Tianlan Sword Sovereign” were also very important in Immortal North Ancient Realm.
Qin E sat beside her father. She was stunned for a moment at first, but then she felt a burst of heat on her face. She was very embarrassed. Her father asked him in public if he was still married. What was the meaning of that?
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened. Originally, everyone was still conversing, but now, they all stopped and looked at Xiao Chen. They all thought in their hearts, ‘This young man is truly extraordinary to win the favor of the Tianlan Sword Sovereign. But with Qin E’s temper, if the two of them were to be together, they would have to fight every day, right?’
Just as the atmosphere was awkward, Ling Luan suddenly ran over to Hua Weiyang with a smile and said, “Sister Wei Yang is so beautiful. Of course only Senior Brother Wu Chen can make Sister Wei Yang like her, right? Hehe!”
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the hall finally relaxed. Qin Tianzong also smiled, “So that’s the case” As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the woman named Hua Weiyang.
Qin E frowned slightly, her face still seemed to be somewhat unhappy. Although Ling Luan had just said the opposite, it was as if something was blocking her heart.
If Ling Luan had said that only Hua Weiyang could make Xiao Chen like it, then it would have hurt Qin E’s self-esteem. However, she was smart enough to turn things around. She would not have hurt Qin E’s face in front of so many people at the same time as she turned her words away from embarrassment.
Everyone bluntly talked about the afternoon. During this period, there were many sects heading towards Celestial Pogoda. However, all of this was under Xiao Chen’s control, and it was not his plan that night.
When twilight fell, another person came in from outside. However, the person who entered this time was different from the person who came in earlier. He was wearing a battle robe hat and could not see his appearance clearly. And who would hide his appearance when he was inside? Everyone couldn’t help but wonder who this person was.
“I wonder who your Excellency is …”
At this moment, an old man frowned and asked. Just as he finished speaking, a cold wind suddenly blew in from the entire hall. At the same time, it carried an extremely terrifying killing intent!
Facing this sudden change, not only did everyone in the hall change their expressions, even Qin Tianzong, who had an extremely high cultivation base, couldn’t help but change his expression. With a “zheng” sound, he immediately condensed his sword and put on alert … This person’s killing intent was so heavy!
