As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1214
Chapter 1214 Thousand Year Wind and Frost
“The Land of Bone Corrosion …”
Xiao Chen still remembered that when he first heard this name, it was at the Snowy Mountain in the Qinling Mountains. Qin Guan told him that his father and mother wanted to go to the Bone Corrosion Lands, but in the end, they were unable to reach it, and something happened at the Hill of Illusory Ruins.
The Land of Bone Corrosion was a fragment left behind by the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World after it was shattered. After countless years of evolution, it gradually became the most dangerous place in the Spirit Ruins Realm. Many people even felt a chill fall into the abyss when they heard the words “Land of Bone Corrosion”.
If it was an outsider, very few would be able to successfully enter the Bone Corrosion Lands, and very few would be able to survive after entering.
One could imagine that this place might not be any less dangerous than the Tomb of Gods and Demons he had been to back then.
At this moment, Bu Yundian frowned deeply. After a long time, he said, “Judging from the situation, if you want to smoothly go to Ancient Immortal Realm, I’m afraid you really have to go to the Bone Corrosion Lands and obtain a spot in the Bone Corrosion Lands. However, the dangers involved …”
When he said this, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen. “Very few people have been to the Bone Erosion Lands in Yu Ding, so what exactly is going on inside? What dangers are there? What forces are there? These … Hanyan and I are not sure either.”
Hearing this, Shen Jing was silent. Xiao Chen was also lost in thought. After a long time, she raised her head and asked, “How much do the two seniors know about Ancient Immortal Realm?”
Hearing his question, Bu Yundian and Shui Hanyan exchanged a glance and said, “Actually, it wasn’t that troublesome to enter Ancient Immortal Realm long ago, but in recent years, the gap between the Immortal Dimensions itself has become more and more difficult, so the conditions for entering Ancient Immortal Realm have become more and more stringent …”
At this point, Shui Hanyan continued, “A long time ago, there were actually quite a few people who entered Ancient Immortal Realm, but up until now, no one has come out. Including a very powerful Daoist Taixuan from a few hundred years ago. According to legend, his cultivation is far above these three Daoist Taixuan. He is at least at the Three Realms, or even above. It is even more unimaginable to what extent he has reached now …”
“Why hasn’t anyone come out?” Shen Jing’s expression froze as she asked, “Could it be that something dangerous happened inside? Something unexpected happened to her?”
“No …”
Bu Yundian shook his head. “Everyone who enters Ancient Immortal Realm, “There are life and death soul lamps left outside. If they die, the soul lamps outside will also be extinguished. However, not many people have died inside. Therefore, I suspect that the spiritual energy inside the Immortal Dimension is rich and far surpasses that of the mortal Dimension. Cultivating inside for one year is comparable to cultivating outside for three to five years, or even ten years. Therefore, those people are reluctant to come out …”
At this point, he paused and continued, “Ancient Immortal Realm is not an extraordinary world. If they cultivate in it and become immortals, they will most likely be able to directly ascend to the Heaven Realm. Since that is the case, how many more people would like to return to the Mortal Realm?”
Shui Hanyan continued, “Perhaps they were attracted to something else inside, so they didn’t come back … As for what it was, whether it was the secret of the Ancient Immortal Dimension or the secret of the Ancient Oriental Cultivation Dimension, there was no way to know.”
After hearing this, Xiao Chen once again fell into deep thought. From the looks of it, this Ancient Immortal Realm was definitely not an ordinary place. There were probably many secrets hidden inside …
…
That night, Moon was like a plate. A clear light coldly sprinkled on the courtyard, reflecting the silently falling Wei Yang Flowers. Layers after layers, like frost, covered the steps.
Inside the room, Xiao Chen sat motionlessly on the edge of the bed. It was as if every time Hua Weiyang fell asleep, she believed that this time, she would only fall asleep …
“If the world can let go of their prejudices against him from now on, why can’t Wei Yang consume this Myriad Poison Pill today?”
“Life, vegetation, autumn, only death, only death …”
The moonlight shone coldly through the window. It was as cold as frost. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly stood up to look outside. “Bai Luan, you’re here.”
“Your Excellency …”
Bai Luan had been here for a long time, but she only saw him alone in the room, so she did not go in to disturb him. It was only at this moment that she heard him calling her that she slowly walked in.
Over the past few days, she could clearly see that Xiao Chen’s face was covered in layers of wind and frost. It was so haggard that it was completely different from the previous him.
“How is the White Fox now?”
Xiao Chen slowly walked out of the room and asked softly. Even though he had been focusing all his attention on Wei Yang these past few days, he still didn’t forget Leng Baihu.
“Two days ago, I taught him some Qi Condensation techniques. I was probably tired from practicing just now and I was already asleep.”
Bai Luan followed him and slowly walked into the courtyard. Under the moonlight, all the flowers in the courtyard fell one after another. In the past, the flowers in Wei Yang Palace always bloomed the best, but now, with the wind blowing, the flowers in the courtyard actually fell one after another …
These Wei Yang flowers were all transplanted from Hua Weiyang by Lianhua Palace. She used to like them best, but since she left Lustless Heaven that day, even these flowers began to wilt.
At this moment, Bai Luan raised her head and saw Excellency’s back. She saw Wei Yang flowers falling from the courtyard. She saw the moonlight falling on him. At this moment, she seemed to have an illusion. She saw his head of white hair, not white hair, but a thousand years of wind and frost falling on his shoulders.
“Your Excellency …”
Bai Luan’s expression was stunned. She had never been as sentimental as Zi Yuan, but at this moment, for some unknown reason, when she saw the falling flowers in the courtyard and Excellency’s white hair, she suddenly felt an unspeakable heartache …
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the courtyard under the moonlight and falling flowers. Bai Luan followed behind him and remained silent.
“Bai Luan, in two days, I will go into seclusion, and you, go to a place for me.”
“Your Excellency … Where do you want me to go?”
“In the Spirit Ruins Realm, there is a place called the Ancient River Village in the Mortal World of Western Shu.”
Xiao Chen turned around and took out a concentric knot. He handed it to her, “Give it back to a woman named Liu’er for me.”
“Your Excellency …”
Bai Luan held the concentric knot in her hand and lowered her head without saying a word. Finally, she nodded and said, “Alright, this subordinate will definitely do it …”
“Also.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the vast sea of clouds in the sky. “There is a bully in the village called Zhao Dahu. We cultivators don’t interfere in the affairs of mortals. Whether this person lives or dies is up to you,” he said.
“Yes …”
…
The next day, Xiao Chen went to the Secret Devil Cliff. Below the cliff, a black flood dragon suddenly appeared from the black pool. Its entire body was covered in splashes of water, splashing onto his body.
“Hostile …”
He still remembered that when Hua Weiyang left Lustless Heaven for Xuanqing Sect that day, Hostility had been following behind him and refused to go back no matter what …
Although Lu Li was unable to speak, he was very intelligent. At this moment, he let out a sorrowful howl and plopped into the pond water, splashing more than ten zhang of water.
Even Hostility knew that she was no longer here … Spirit beasts were like this, how could a person endure it?
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly felt an indescribable sadness. Then, he turned around and walked into the secret devil cave. Now, his cultivation had recovered to the full, but he had yet to return to reality. This time, it wasn’t difficult to return to reality. All he needed was the fate of his mortal life.
With his eyes closed, his aura flowed, and his divine sense disappeared. At this moment, it was as if he had returned to that small village, returning to simplicity and truth.
…
“Ah Tian, is Ah Tian back …”
Snow fell all over the sky, and Liu Jingjing ran out of the courtyard again. However, there were no guests in the wind and snow all over the sky …
More than a month had passed since the wedding day. In the first half of the month, she had locked herself in the door and no one had been seen.
It snowed behind her. Every time there was any movement in the village, or anyone came, she thought that Ah Tian had returned, but in the end, she was only disappointed again and again.
“Big sister Liu’er, big brother Ah Tian, will he come back …”
“I don’t know, I don’t know …”
Until now, Liu Jingjing’s eyes were still filled with the scene of Xiao Chen leaving that day. “I remember who I am. I am not Ah Tian. Forget about me, forget about me …”
After nearly half a month, the heavy snow that had been falling for a month finally stopped. Today, the sky cleared up. It was almost noon when the villagers were cleaning up the snow in front of their courtyards. Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly barged in from outside the village, causing the entire village to be filled with flying chickens and dogs.
“Zhao, Zhao Dahu, you, why are you here today …”
Zhao Dahu brought in a dozen strong men with tiger backs and bear waist. All of them were fierce and fierce. The villagers were extremely frightened and kept hiding behind them. Previously, Ah Tian was here, but now that Ah Tian was gone, who would dare to go against this bully?
