As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1146
Chapter 1146 Eight Heavens
Obviously, at this moment, Qianyu Nichang could also feel that the Spiritual Energy was somewhat unusual. After a while, he saw her turn around and look at Xiao Chen, “Should we go over now?”
Xiao Chen looked at her and frowned. If she was at her peak, he naturally didn’t have to worry. However, the poison of Hidden Wind Cloud was especially powerful. Even if the poison had been detoxified, it would be difficult for her to fully recover in a short period of time …
Unexpectedly, Qianyu Nichang gently flicked his sleeves, and his expression was like water. He said indifferently, “Water is good for all things and does not fight for it. Therefore, it is almost the same. Has Senior Brother forgotten what kind of mental technique I cultivated?”
At this moment, she could only see the water flowing around her body. Her spiritual energy was extraordinary, so how could she still have the slightest bit of injury?
At this moment, Xiao Chen remembered that the cultivation technique that she had learned from Excellency Mei Yue was the extremely formidable ‘Three Thousand Weak Water’ and ‘Shangshan Ruoshui’ of the Heavenly Jade bloodline.
The ancestor of the Heavenly Jade Clan had occasionally obtained an ancient remnant and later created the peerless mental art “Weak Water Three Thousand”. Originally, it was a very good profound gate mental art, but at that time, only Xuanqing Sect was withered, yet no one was able to carry it forward.
When it came to Excellency Mei Yue’s generation, Mei Yue’s attainments were astonishing. She had finally comprehended the mysteries of this cultivation technique. However, because this cultivation technique was too profound for ordinary people to comprehend, other than Leng Qianxue and Fu Ling, the rest of the disciples in the entire Skyjade Peak could barely comprehend one or two of its essences.
When Qianyu Nichang went up the mountain that year, Mei Yue took a fancy to her and taught her three thousand pieces of weak water. As expected, Qianyu Nichang did not disappoint her. It even exceeded Mei Yue’s expectations. Even Mei Yue herself could not believe that there was such a talented person in the world.
In just a few short years, Qianyu Nichang’s attainments in Ruoshui 3000 had already surpassed all of her fellow senior sisters. And now, there were even rumors that her Ruoshui 3000 was even above Excellency Mei Yue.
At this moment, Xiao Chen thought to himself, even if he was poisoned by a poison as powerful as Zang Fengyun, he might not be able to recover so quickly. Indeed, the seven meridians of Xuan Qing had their own strengths. Thus, he was relieved.
The two of them no longer hesitated. They immediately withdrew their auras and headed towards the northwest. By the time they reached a Spiritual Energy gathering point, the sky was already slowly brightening, and the surroundings gradually became clear.
In the valley in front of him, there was a layer of profound light that shrouded a very dense layer of Spiritual Energy. It seemed that the gathering point of Spiritual Energy in front of him was within the valley.
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and stopped. At this moment, he could sense that there was another aura in the valley. It seemed that someone was already one step ahead of them.
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang became vigilant. After hearing what Gu Mo said about Feng Yuntian last night, the two of them were very cautious along the way. If any Saint realm experts really appeared, even if the other party did not harbor malicious intentions towards them, they would still be restrained everywhere in the future.
Just like this valley in front of them, there must be a gathering point of Spiritual Energy. They found it and could lead to the eighth heaven. However, if a Saint realm expert suddenly appeared and wanted them to let him out, could they not let him go?
“Be careful.”
Xiao Chen withdrew his aura and his expression became even more solemn. The two of them quietly entered the valley. When they reached the depths of the valley, they saw a beam of profound light slowly condensing. However, there were still quite a few cultivators around the profound light. For the time being, the one with the lowest cultivation was also at the Saint Stage.
I don’t know how these people came up through the Yin Yang Taiji Formation below, but I think they also want to go to the Ninth Heaven. However, wanting to go to the Ninth Heaven before reaching the Quasi-Sage Realm is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
At this moment, Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang were hiding in the shadows and hadn’t shown themselves for the time being. Near the Spiritual Energy gathering place, there were a few old men who seemed to have quite a few cultivation bases. They all seemed to have Quasi-Saint cultivation bases. It was unknown which faction in Spirit Ruins Realm they belonged to.
About an incense stick later, the Spiritual Light faintly appeared to soar into the sky. The killing intent on the old men’s bodies also grew heavier and heavier. Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang were still hiding in the shadows. After confirming that there were no other experts hiding nearby, the two of them also focused on calming down and waited for a while to move.
Finally, that ray of spiritual light grew brighter and brighter. Several old men also suddenly attacked at this moment. They didn’t say much, but each of them had a variety of killing moves. One move at a time, they actually wanted to take the other’s life!
When the few of them were about to fight, that ray of spiritual light finally took shape. The heavens surged with wind and clouds, and the passageway to the eighth level was already right in front of them.
Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang didn’t hesitate. They flew out in an instant, using a thunderous move that directly sent the two cultivators in front of the Spiritual Light flying.
“Who is it!”
Sensing that someone had intruded, the old men immediately stopped and looked coldly at the two “uninvited guests” in front of them. The two cultivators who were sent flying were stunned. They recognized Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang and shouted in shock, “It’s Xiao Yichen …”
“Oh?”
The gazes of the elders turned cold. Apparently, there were people in Feng Yuntian who had never heard of the names of the Lord of Lustless Heaven and Xuanqing Sect Qianyu Nichang.
“So it’s the Lord of Lustless Heaven and Fairy Qianyu …”
The gazes of the elders were cold, but they didn’t seem to be afraid of the two people in front of them. One of the elders wearing Qingyi said coldly, “It’s fine if it’s Lustless Heaven, it’s fine if it’s Xuanqing Sect. If you two want to go up from here today, you have to follow the rules …”
“Rules …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent as he said indifferently, “This is already the seventh level of the Heavens. What rules are there to talk about …”
“What did you say …”
At this moment, the gazes of the old men became even colder. However, before they could fully react, Xiao Chen had already rushed forward in an instant, and with the pressure of Mount Tai, he was heading straight for the profound light.
Seeing that he actually wanted to forcefully break through, the few of them instantly circulated the Genuine energy. However, before they could make a move, Xiao Chen had already made a move. With a wave of his palm, he immediately pressed down on Qianjun. Even the ground instantly cracked open a dozen or so cracks. Dust rose up everywhere. Those people felt their breathing stifled. What a profound skill!
Qianyu Nichang did not hesitate. He flew up in an instant and saw her rush up. The others wanted to stop him, but before he could make a move, he was pushed back by her sword strike.
It wasn’t that their cultivations weren’t bad, but that Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang had been hiding in the shadows just now. When they had exhausted Genuine energy’s strength, they would show themselves again. Even if these people had Tier 5 or Tier 6 Quasi-Saint cultivations, how could they be their opponents anymore?
Qianyu Nichang pushed back the few people who were blocking him with his sword. He tapped his feet and rushed towards the Spiritual Energy gathering point. At the same time, he rolled up his sleeves and brought Xiao Chen in. The two of them simultaneously activated Genuine energy, stepping on the void, and flew upwards.
Those xiuzhe wanted to chase after him, but they were still a step too late. This gathering point of Spiritual Energy allowed only the two of them to pass through. If they went up again, they would definitely endure the restrictions. The restrictions of the seventh and eighth heavens were definitely not something they could endure.
Despite their unwillingness, the few people below could only watch as Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang slowly disappeared into the clouds.
…
After an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally passed through the layers of restrictions in the Seventh Heaven and arrived at the Eighth Heaven. As soon as they arrived, they immediately felt an icy cold aura assaulting them.
This eighth level of heaven was far too different from the seventh level of heaven. If he hadn’t personally come here, it would have been hard to believe everything here.
There was no longer any difference between day and night here. It was like the depths of an icy cold universe. In midair, there were enormous stones floating like small hills.
There were even some broken palaces floating in the air, and there were even some exotic beast skeletons floating like this.
Above the sky, there was a cold sun. The light wasn’t dazzling, but it didn’t give anyone the slightest warmth.
Everything here was like the legendary “Frost Reflection Realm”. The cold sunlight would only appear in ice-cold dreams.
“In that case, it should be the Ninth Heaven.”
Qianyu Nichang raised his head to look at the “cold sun” high up in the sky. He thought that it was the only place that led to the Ninth Heaven. There weren’t many strong restrictions on it, but it was extremely difficult to reach such a high place. No one could fly directly to such a high place.
Above the Eighth Heaven, there was a deathly silence. There were no mountains, rivers, nor trees in the valleys. Only ice-cold boulders floated in the air.
This place looked like a shattered world. Only those ancient palaces floating in the air proved how glorious this place used to be, but it was destroyed by someone.
“We can only go up through these boulders and palaces.”
Xiao Chen looked at the giant stone palaces floating in the air. Clearly, he could only ascend through these giant stone palaces layer upon layer and reach them in the end.
However, they would inevitably encounter dangers while going up, so they had to be more cautious than when they were down below.
“Let’s go. Let’s give it a try.”
Qianyu Nichang no longer hesitated and lightly tapped his feet. He first activated his qinggong and flew towards the huge rock in the air.
Xiao Chen immediately followed. The higher he went, the colder the wind became. There was even some invisible sword qi surrounding the damaged palaces.
Everything that was happening now had to become cautious. If they were careless, they would definitely put themselves in extreme danger.
After three days, the two of them had already reached an unknown height, but there was still no end to it. It was like an icy cold universe, boundless and endless.
“I didn’t expect that the eighth heaven would be so vast …”
When the two landed on a huge boulder, Xiao Chen’s expression froze slightly. It seemed that he had underestimated Feng Yuntian. After all, it was a relatively complete fragment of the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. Perhaps this place was even bigger than the entire Central Plains of Xianyuan.
At the very least, with his current cultivation, he could fly from the foot of Mystic Cyan Mountain to the tens of thousands of feet high in a stick of incense. However, in this eighth level, he and Qianyu Nichang had flown up for three days and three nights, but there was still no end to it.
In the past three days, they hadn’t met anyone. Perhaps it was because this place was too big. Xiao Meng’er and her senior brother Liu Wuxin might be 10,000 kilometers away from them, or even farther away. They couldn’t even sense each other’s aura.
“Wait! That’s …”
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang’s expression suddenly became extremely solemn. Xiao Chen followed her gaze and saw a strange black dot slowly appear in the distance, approaching them.
The black dot was getting closer and closer, as if it was floating from the depths of the icy cold universe. At this moment, Xiao Chen also held his breath. Ever since he comprehended how to manipulate life and death, he had become particularly sensitive to death energy. At this moment, the black dot floating in front of him was emitting a dense aura of death.
