As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1117
Chapter 1117 Overwhelming (2)
After an incense stick of time, Xiao Chen arrived at a green cliff. However, when he saw the ancient pines standing there and the waterfall flowing, not only was the scenery quiet, but the spiritual energy was also very dense.
After confirming that there was no one nearby, he walked to an ancient pine tree and immediately sat down cross-legged. He circulated the 33 Leaving Hatred Technique and absorbed the spiritual energy into his body to recover the Genuine energy that he had lost in the Crimson Sun Heavens.
It was only in the evening that Xiao Chen had almost recovered. During this period, no one came to disturb him. Only thunder could be heard from the sky from time to time.
Now that he was going to the second heaven, he could see the mountains in the second heaven. However, if he wanted to climb up, how could it be as simple as what he saw in front of him?
It was obvious that he could not fly up directly. This afternoon, he recovered his true energy at the edge of the cliff. Occasionally, he saw one or two people who were not afraid of death fly up directly. But in the end, when they were about to arrive, divine lightning suddenly descended. Before he could even dodge, they were directly burned to ashes under the restrictive divine lightning.
Even a Quasi-Sage wouldn’t dare to forcefully break through the restrictive lightning. If it was still like when it was outside, it wouldn’t be enough to have nine lives.
This was a fragment left behind by the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World after it was shattered. Even though so many years had passed, the world was still unclear about the dangers inside.
No one had ever searched the entire Feng Yuntian before. There were many places that no matter how high one’s cultivation level was, they couldn’t go. Just like Tomb of Gods and Demons, Tomb of Gods and Demons was also a fragment left behind by the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World after it was shattered. It was just that it was much larger than Feng Yuntian.
After adjusting his internal breath, Xiao Chen slowly stood up and looked into the distance. He saw the green mountains stretching out, and the endless sea of clouds below. At this moment, under the setting sun, the entire sea of clouds seemed to have been dyed with a layer of golden color. It looked like a dream.
Of course, this was only the first level of Feng Yuntian. Moreover, what Xiao Chen saw was only the tip of the iceberg. If he went to some dangerous places, the scenery would probably not be so good.
Next, he was going to search for Spiritual Energy’s gathering place. He had heard from Madam Xian Shu that if he wanted to ascend to Feng Yuntian’s Upper Heavens, he would have to search for I am’s gathering place in Spiritual Energy’s Upper Heavens.
A Spiritual Energy gathering place like this was like a formation. As long as one went up from the inside, the restriction would be greatly weakened. In this way, they would be able to go up.
However, a Spiritual Energy gathering place like this was not fixed, nor did it exist for a long time. Moreover, it could only allow one person to pass through. Therefore, once such a Spiritual Energy gathering place was found, one had to go up as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Spiritual Energy disappeared or someone else got there first, they would have to look for it again.
…
It wasn’t until dusk the next day that Xiao Chen arrived at a deep valley. Although the outside was a sea of clouds, there was no difference between the inside and the bottom. There were even pools, streams, waterfalls, and so on.
When they reached the depths of the valley, a ray of spiritual light suddenly flew up. That ray of spiritual light soared straight to the top of the sky. It seemed that it was a gathering point of Spiritual Energy.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else nearby, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He kicked his feet and flew into the spiritual light, borrowing this spiritual light to fly straight towards the second level of the sky.
When he reached the sky, thunder suddenly rang out in the surroundings. At the same time, bursts of flame aura assaulted him. Xiao Chen immediately used his Void Spirit Qi to protect himself from the surrounding flame aura.
With this streak of spiritual light, the restrictions in the vicinity were much weaker. Although the thunder was loud, it was not enough to injure people. Xiao Chen stepped into the void, pushing his inner energy to its limit and accelerating his speed towards the second layer of the sky, lest something unexpected should happen in the middle of it.
Even though he was protected by spiritual light and wouldn’t be injured by the surrounding restrictions, if someone suddenly attacked him at this moment, the consequences would not be good.
Moments later, after passing through the layers of flames and arriving at the second level of the Cloud Sea, Xiao Chen gathered his strength and lifted Genuine energy up to fly above the Cloud Sea.
After piercing through the thick sea of clouds, the scene in front of him finally became clear. However, the scene in front of him was too different from the scene in the Outer Immortal Realm of the First Heaven.
The weeds in the vicinity spread, and there were actually many palace buildings buried in the ground. Xiao Chen held his breath and carefully walked into the ruins.
Even though many dilapidated buildings were half-buried in the ground, there were still some tall buildings that were covered in black vines. Although they looked quite old, they were still unable to conceal the prosperity of this place.
Xiao Chen carefully entered step by step. Looking at the dilapidated buildings nearby, it was hard to imagine how prosperous this place used to be. Could it be a cultivation sect? Judging from these buildings, the size of this sect is no less than Xuanqing Sect’s …
He could even vaguely sense a faint restrictive aura of formations. This restrictive aura was not the restrictive aura of the heavens. It should be the original restrictive array of this sect.
Unexpectedly, even after tens of thousands of years had passed, the Spiritual Energy of this formation still hadn’t dissipated. Xiao Chen found it hard to imagine just how powerful this sect was in the past.
And no matter how strong he was, he would still be unable to escape the fate of destruction?
A little further forward, Xiao Chen saw some palace buildings that had been flattened. It wasn’t hard to imagine that these buildings were destroyed by a sword qi descending from the sky. At that time, that sword qi directly broke through the restriction formations of the entire sect, and no one was able to dodge it …
Even after tens of thousands of years, Spiritual Energy still had a restriction formation. Such a powerful formation was unable to withstand the sword strike from the Outer World. Just how powerful was that sword strike?
Perhaps the legendary sword strike of an immortal was nothing more than this.
Xiao Chen continued to walk forward. This sect was simply too big for him to look at. The cold wind and setting sun gave him an indescribable sense of loneliness in the endless ruined soil.
A cold breeze blew past his ears. Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The moment he regained his senses, the voice disappeared again. There was no one behind him, only the desolate and desolate grass and ruins.
“I like Senior Brother, but … I’m not that kind of person …”
A wind bell sounded behind him. Xiao Chen turned around and said, “Who is it? Qianyu Nichang?”
There was nothing in front of him. No one spoke. He was hallucinating.
But just now, it was as if he was inside. It was as if there was really such a person muttering in his ear. There was also the emerald bell tied around the waist of the young girl … Why did such a scene appear in his mind?
Could it be that what happened just now was not an illusion, but everything that had truly happened here ten thousand years ago? Although those people, those things, had long been buried in the dust along with the destruction … they had actually existed.
Looking at the dilapidated palace building in front of him, Xiao Chen suddenly felt an indescribable sorrow in his heart. This sect had once had feelings of love, hatred, and enmity, but now, everything had returned to dust. Even today, no one knew what this sect was called. No matter how glorious it was back then …
If it was a thousand years later, 10,000 years later, would Xuanqing Sect be buried in the dust like this?
When that time comes, who will remember the vicissitudes of life, who will know what happened there, who will go there …
Purple Night Peak, Immortal Burying Cliff …
Who would know that all those love, hatred, and enmity had truly existed before?
Love or hatred will eventually return to dust.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. However, at this moment, a sharp sword qi suddenly slashed towards him!
Instantly sensing the danger, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. With a flick of his foot, Ling Xian Step dodged the incoming sword qi.
This sword qi was not emitted by anyone, and there was no one nearby. Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed. Suddenly, a group of swords flew up in front of a broken palace not far from him. It seemed to be an extremely powerful restrictive sword formation, and he had accidentally touched the restrictive sword formation just now.
At this moment, Xiao Chen held his breath and stared at the swords in front of him. His intuition told him that the restrictive sword formation was extremely powerful. It could even slay immortals ten thousand years ago, but even now, it could not be underestimated.
Fortunately, he had been very careful and vigilant along the way. He hadn’t rushed over. Otherwise, if he accidentally entered the sword formation, the consequences would be unpredictable …
I didn’t expect that even though ten thousand years had passed, the sword formation left behind by this sect back then would still be so powerful. No wonder this place wasn’t destroyed twice. Those who randomly barged in must have died inside.
There was nothing here that Xiao Chen wanted, and he didn’t want to barge in. Only then did he notice that there were white bones beneath some dilapidated buildings in the distance. Those white bones couldn’t be people from this sect ten thousand years ago. Most of them were cultivators who had barged in randomly over the years.
After discovering the danger here, Xiao Chen slowly retreated. He would rather walk around than rashly barge into such a dangerous forbidden area.
Three days passed like this. The second level of Feng Yuntian was indeed much harder than the first level. Even today, Xiao Chen could not find the gathering point to the third level of Spiritual Energy, and even accidentally entered some dangerous places.
In the past three days, he had seen quite a few other cultivators, but none of them knew him. Presumably, none of them knew him either.
In the afternoon, he arrived at the bottom of a valley. However, when he saw the green mountains on both sides, reaching into the clouds, he was still unable to find the gathering point of Spiritual Energy towards the third level.
“Rumble!”
At this moment, the entire valley suddenly trembled violently. The green mountains on both sides of the valley also began to shake. However, this tremor did not come from the valley itself, but … from the heavens!
Xiao Chen raised his head and looked up into the sky. The clouds surged endlessly, and powerful auras came crushing down. If it wasn’t for his profound strength, he probably wouldn’t have been able to breathe.
From the looks of it, someone was fighting on top, but with such strength … Xiao Chen’s expression couldn’t help but froze. Didn’t he say that people who entered the Sage realm couldn’t enter Feng Yuntian?
Why did this aura create such a strong pressure on him …
