As the Universe Turns - Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Rain And Rain
Yaoji smiled and walked in. With a flick of his sleeve, he closed the door and window of the room and said, “Senior Chu must have told Childe Xiao that Childe Xiao is in a very dangerous situation. That person’s strength in the Heavenly Gate can be said to cover the sky with one hand …”

Xiao Chen remained indifferent and drank another glass of wine. Who else could conceal the heavens in the Heavenly Gate apart from the three Heavenly Gate Saints?

However, he didn’t know which one of the Three Saints it was. If what he had expected wasn’t bad, this person was heading towards Master and setting up spies in Xuanqing Sect. This person’s strength wasn’t simple, but he wasn’t worried about Master right now because he knew that Master’s strength wasn’t simple either.

Seeing that he was silent, Yaoji said, “And now, Childe Xiao’s Nascent Soul has been destroyed. Even though he still has extraordinary abilities, if he wants to face that person head-on, it would be akin to hitting a rock with an egg. There is no chance of victory.”

“That’s why Chu Tianyao asked me to come to Fengmanlou. Is that what you said?”

Xiao Chen’s voice was cold as he put down the wine cup. At this moment, Yaoji felt a chill in his eyes. Then, he smiled sweetly, “Of course not. I mean, Childe Xiao should act according to the situation. As the saying goes, a gentleman hides his tools in his body and waits for time to move.”

At this moment, Yaoji’s gaze became very sharp, unlike a woman in this chaotic world.

She continued, “Childe Xiao not only comprehended the Heavenly Book, but also seized the good fortune of the heavens and the earth. He grasped the power to control life and death. From now on, he could be said to have achieved infinite accomplishments, but now … Hidden Dragons are not to be used.”

Hearing her say the last four words, Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He recalled all the things that had happened more than ten years ago when he blamed Senior for imparting his skills to him.

“I was born between heaven and earth, destroyed between heaven and earth. I will not be loyal to any faction, including … Feng Manlou.”

Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves coldly, then picked up his glass and drank it down.

‘”Of course, Yaoji didn’t ask Senior Chu to join Fengmanlou. It’s just that the little girl hopes that Childe Xiao will still be friends with Fengmanlou when he comes to the Legendary Realm in the future,” Childe Xiao said with a smile on his face.

As she spoke, Ping Tingting walked over and gently sat beside Xiao Chen. She picked up the white jade wine jug on the sandalwood fragrance table and filled the glass with wine. She smiled and handed it to him, “Childe, please.”

Xiao Chen took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He casually threw it back and stood up. “There will not be eternal enemies in this world, nor will there be … eternal friends.” After saying that, he went outside.

Yaoji turned around and looked at the broken wine glasses on the floor. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “Childe, please wait a moment.”

“Miss, what else do you need?”

Xiao Chen stopped and turned around slightly. His gaze was still as cold as the moonlight outside the window.

Yaoji smiled and walked up to him. “Did Childe Xiao kill someone in South City this evening?” He asked.

“Yes, so what?” Xiao Chen’s voice was still cold.

Hearing his cold tone, Yaoji smiled and said, “Of course, he was responsible for that person’s death at Childe’s hands. But does Childe know who that person was?”

“No matter who he used to be, he is only a dead man now.”

Xiao Chen still seemed to be careless. In the past, he didn’t have such a heavy killing intent, but ever since he comprehended the manipulation of life and death in the Heavenly Book, his killing intent had grown heavier and heavier day by day.

Yaoji shook his head and slowly said, “There are two other forces in Calming Wind City, Poison Dragon Fort and Limitless Palace. The master of Poison Dragon Fort, Zong Xiaotian, has seven adopted sons. The person Childe killed in South City this evening was Zong Xiaotian’s seventh adopted son, Zong Qin.”

“Does that girl think that I killed the wrong person?”

Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at her. With this glance, it was as if he was going to freeze the air in the room.

Yaoji shook his head and smiled, “No, just to remind Childe to be careful in the future.”

“Thank you.”

Xiao Chen replied indifferently and went outside. Yaoji looked at his departing back. This man was the coldest man she had ever seen in the world, but he was so different. It was as if …

The moonlight outside the window just happened to shine in. Yaoji turned around and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. It was like the lonely moon in the sky. It was so cold and desolate that it could not be seen, but it illuminated the long night.

“Sand–Sand–”

Suddenly, a gust of wind rang out from outside. It was as if someone had landed outside the door. Yaoji immediately turned around and looked outside the room. She smiled faintly, “Sister, why are you free to come to my place tonight?”

Suddenly, a woman appeared outside. She was dressed in a dark green dress and was as beautiful as a painting. She smiled lightly and looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had left. She smiled and said, “She really is a … very special man.”

“Little sister … can’t be here just for this tonight?”

Yaoji still wore a smile. Step by step, she slowly walked out. The woman in green turned around and smiled at her, “Of course not. However, I have to remind sister that there is only one man in the world. Sister, you can’t touch him. You can’t even think about it.”

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze. The atmosphere became exceptionally cold. Both of their eyes were as sharp as swords. It was only after a long time that Yaoji smiled softly, “You think too much …”

The green-clothed woman also smiled, “It’s best if I think too much.”

…

The moonlight was cold. After leaving Fengman Attic, Xiao Chen randomly found an inn to stay in. After returning to his room, he began to cultivate. However, after two hours, he was still unable to sense the Nascent Soul. He couldn’t help but frown deeper and deeper.

Now that he had this ability, it was because of the Heavenly Book, but the Nascent Soul could not be reformed no matter what. Being unable to cultivate the Nascent Soul meant that it was impossible for him to cultivate an omnipotent divine ability that could penetrate heaven and earth in the future.

The Nascent Soul was a watershed in the path of cultivation. Although one could see the secrets of the Nascent Soul after reaching the Soul Refining and Void Returning realm, many people were unable to truly condense into a Nascent Soul in their lifetime. Therefore, those people had no fate with immortals in their lifetime.

Of course, there were also some people who had evil thoughts and used some evil methods to seize other people’s Nascent Soul to help them cultivate. Such people were called evil cultivators and were not allowed by the Righteous Dao.

Another half an hour passed. Xiao Chen sat in his room, still unable to sense the Nascent Soul. He had tried countless times to recondense the Nascent Soul, but in the end, he failed.

At this moment, the moonlight entered the room and illuminated the entire room brightly. He raised his hand and looked at the faint strand of death energy in his palm. Just as he was cultivating, he noticed that a faint trace of death energy had appeared in his body.

This strand of death energy seemed to have appeared when he first used it to control life and death. Every time he used it, it would gain some weight. He didn’t know what would happen in the end.

Right at this moment, a trace of aura suddenly came from outside. Although it was hidden very deeply, how could Xiao Chen not sense it now? His eyes turned cold and he said coldly, “You’d better leave.”
