As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1147
Chapter 1147 Peak of the Eighth Heaven
At this moment, the expressions on their faces became serious. Only when the black dot slowly approached did the two of them see clearly that it was actually a human figure. It was just that it floated in the air arbitrarily, and its entire body was deathly lifeless. Obviously, it was not a living person, but a corpse.
“Corpse?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. There was a corpse in the Void Realm of the Eighth Heaven. Could it be that someone had died here? However, if a person had just died, how could there be such a heavy aura of death?
“Be careful.”
After arriving at the eighth level, Qianyu Nichang became cautious. At this moment, he landed on a huge boulder with Xiao Chen and did not approach the corpse in the distance. He only waited for the corpse to slowly float over.
When the corpse approached, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and a faint force swept out, causing the corpse to land on the giant rock.
The corpse was icy cold. It had probably been dead for many years, but the clothes on its body were still intact.
After a while, Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang slowly walked up. The closer they got to the corpse, the more they could feel an icy cold aura of death.
“This person seems to have died a long time ago.”
The two of them arrived in front of the corpse. This was a middle-aged man. Even though he had died many years ago, his physical body was still not bad. From the looks of it, they could still tell that this man must have been an extremely formidable expert before he died.
At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but recall that when he went to Immortal North Ancient Realm alone, he passed through the Desert of Death and accidentally landed at the ancient ruins beneath the desert. At that time, there were also two experts who had died many years ago in the ruins.
However, even though those two experts had died many years ago, they still had an imperishable aura. Although the corpse in front of them gave off an extremely strong feeling, it was more like an icy cold aura of death.
Why … was there such a heavy aura of death?
“Perhaps, it’s because of this eighth heaven …”
Qianyu Nichang looked around and saw huge rocks floating in the air. There were also some dilapidated ancient palaces. This place could not be measured by common sense, and no one knew what had destroyed such a prosperous place.
At this moment, a strange movement came from the endless void. Qianyu Nichang’s expression froze as he looked up into the sky. The “cold sun” was still there, but it was unknown where the strange movement came from.
However, many people had already reached the eighth level of heaven today. However, this place was too big for them to meet other cultivators. However, since they had already arrived at the eighth level of heaven, everyone’s goal must be to ascend to the ninth level of heaven.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Right now, they couldn’t care less about this corpse. There was still an unknown danger ahead. The two of them could only continue to head upwards. Now, they didn’t encounter anyone else. However, it shouldn’t be long before everyone went to the top of the eighth heaven. There would definitely be a dispute.
Another seven days passed. The higher he went, the colder it became. The “cold sun” in the sky seemed to be right in front of him, but it was still hard to get close to him.
In this Void Realm, there was no difference between day and night. The two of them could only roughly calculate the time. It should be the tenth day since they came up, but they still hadn’t met anyone else.
It had already been two months since Xiao Chen arrived at Feng Yuntian. He didn’t know how things were with Wei Yang and the others outside. Ever since he ascended to Feng Yuntian, the jade note on his body had lost its senses.
“It should be almost there.”
Qianyu Nichang’s eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the “cold sun” in the sky. It was the only place that led to the ninth level of Feng Yuntian.
Although the cold sun hadn’t changed since they had ascended to the eighth level, Qianyu Nichang could feel that it was getting closer and closer to the top. It would take at most three days to arrive.
“Mm, be careful …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Just as he continued to move upwards, a shock suddenly came from nowhere, causing the nearby boulders and palaces to tremble incessantly. Some of them even fell down.
“What’s going on?”
Xiao Chen frowned and immediately reached out to support a huge boulder. At this moment, they were at an unknown height. There was a void around them. If anything unexpected happened, the consequences would be unpredictable.
After about half an incense stick of time, the tremor slowly stopped, and a lot of giant stone palaces fell down. Some of them collided with other giant stones, shattering into countless small pieces and floating in the void.
A moment later, the shock had completely stopped. Qianyu Nichang looked at the “cold sun” in the sky and said with a frown, “It seems that the shock just now came from the ninth level of the sky. It seems that it is already near. Let’s go …”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and no longer hesitated. Today was already the tenth day they had come up, and Xiao Meng’er had come earlier than them. Perhaps she was already there now, and there was no room for further delay.
The two of them immediately activated their qinggong and continued to move upwards. After another three days, they finally arrived at the top of the eighth level.
The surroundings were endless and vast, and there were still huge rocks and damaged ancient palaces floating in the sky. However, the “cold sun” seemed to be only a thousand feet away from them. That was the place that led to the Ninth Heaven.
“How could it be so quiet …”
Qianyu Nichang stared at the surroundings. There was no one around. It was impossible. She and Xiao Chen were the first to come up, right?
“Venerable Lord Lustless, you’ve also come up …”
Just as Qianyu Nichang finished speaking, a charming female voice suddenly came from afar. The two of them looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw two figures walking towards them.
Those two were none other than the two siblings from Jiuyou Clan. The man’s name was Xie Li Mei and the woman’s name was Yan Yunji.
At this moment, the two of them slowly walked over. When they got close, their gazes landed on Qianyu Nichang. They stared at Qianyu Nichang for a long time. After a long while, they saw Yan Yunji chuckle softly, “This is …”
Qianyu Nichang ignored the two people from Jiuyou Clan and turned to look at Xiao Chen. “Do you want to go up now?” He asked.
“Now? Can’t we go up now …”
Yan Yunji twisted her body and smiled faintly. “There’s still a layer of restriction on it that hasn’t been undone. No one can go up now. We can only wait …” she said.
Xie Li Mei stood at the side, but his gaze was still fixed on Qianyu Nichang. After a long while, Yan Yunji turned around and looked at him, “As soon as Big Brother came, he just stared at him like this. Is it so good?”
Xie Limei didn’t seem to listen, and his gaze was still on Qianyu Nichang. He smiled faintly, “I think this is Xuanqing Sect, Qianyu, Fairy. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you …”
Qianyu Nichang still ignored the two of them. At this moment, two more figures walked over from afar. This time, they were not ordinary people. They were Xiao Meng’er and his senior brother, Liu Wuxin.
“Oh?”
Yan Yunji glanced at Xiao Meng’er and Liu Wuxin, who were walking towards her from afar, and smiled charmingly, “It seems that the two of them from the East Radiance Immortal Qiong Sect have also arrived …”
Xiao Meng’er’s face was calm as water as his gaze swept past Yan Yunji and Xie Li Mei. He thought to himself that the strength of these two people from Jiuyou Clan was not low. They were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
But in the end, her gaze fell on Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang, and she said indifferently, “Brother Xiao, we meet again …”
Evidently, in her opinion, the people who came here today, be it Jiuyou Clan’s siblings, the Berserk King of the Snow Region and the Longevity Sword Master, or the Ten Saints of the past, were inferior to the two people in front of her. Today, her greatest enemy would not be anyone else, but the two people in front of her.
Her gaze slowly descended on Qianyu Nichang. At this moment, her gaze was like a bottomless valley. She asked with concentration, “May I know how to address this person?”
Qianyu Nichang’s gaze landed on her as well, not ignoring her as she did the two people from Jiuyou Clan. She said, “Xuanqing Sect, Skyjade Peak, Qianyu Nichang.”
At this moment, the two of them looked like sharp swords, coldly confronting each other. There was still a cold breeze that passed between the two of them.
Standing beside Xiao Meng’er, Liu Wuxin held his breath and remained silent. He stared at Qianyu Nichang motionlessly, thinking that this person was Xuanqing Sect’s most outstanding disciple in the past hundred years … Qianyu Nichang.
Even today, he still remembered that his master had once said that Xuanqing Sect was unfathomable. Although it only had a foundation of three thousand years, it was not simple for him to be able to establish himself in the world. The two of them were from the same sect, but their identities were both extremely mysterious.
The two people in Jiuyou Clan suddenly fell silent. The cold wind in the vicinity rustled, and the atmosphere became especially heavy.
“Hahaha!”
Just as the atmosphere froze, a burst of deep laughter suddenly came from afar. The laughter was like a flood bell, causing the rocks on the ground nearby to continuously jump up. Clearly, the person who came had an extremely deep internal force.
Xiao Meng’er and the others all looked in the direction where the laughter came from. There, a figure stepped on the void. That person’s robe moved with the wind. Although he was a white-haired old man, his entire body appeared extremely powerful and powerful, unlike an ordinary cultivator.
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed as he recognized the person who had come. It was actually Wushuang City, whom he had met in the illusion below the city when he had gone to Luo Die to save Guan Zhen.
He naturally remembered clearly that at that time, Guan Zhen had sent his internal force to Luo Die, and then he broke through Wushuang City’s seal … Ever since then, he had never seen it again. He never thought that today, he would actually meet again in this cloudy sky.
However, today, the opponent’s strength was clearly much deeper than before. It seemed that not only had his cultivation recovered to the full, he had even obtained another chance to obtain good fortune.
“Little brother, we meet again.”
Guan Zhen landed on the ground and immediately caused the nearby dust to surge. The two of them couldn’t help but frown. This person was a cultivator of ancient martial arts. What a powerful internal force …
