As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1217
Chapter 1217 Chongming
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed when he heard him mention the six forces in the Heaven’s Beyond. “Senior, do you also know about this Heaven’s Beyond?”
Ku Lingzi put his hands behind his back. He stared at the sea of clouds in the distance under the curtain of night. He shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, but I do know a bit. According to legend, Heaven’s Beyond Heaven is one of the Nine Heavens Ten Realms. It was originally a world condensed from all sorts of dirty energy and demonic miasma in the world. At that time, it was not called Heaven’s Beyond Heaven, nor did it have any name. It was only when some cultivators went up there to take root and multiply that there came the Heaven’s Beyond Heaven’s Beyond Heaven …”
After saying this, Ku Lingzi paused for a while before continuing, “In ancient times, the Beyond Heaven destroyed the Spiritual Veins due to the Battle of Gods and Devils, causing the Spiritual Qi to decay and resources to gradually become scarce. Afterwards, he began to covet the Ancient Land of Xianyuan in the mortal world …”
“Ten thousand years ago, Rumor has it that Qing Emperor used a supreme divine ability, borrowing the spiritual energy of the entire ancient land of Xianyuan, The only passageway between Heaven and Earth has been completely sealed. From then on, people from Heaven and Earth will no longer be able to come to the world. As for where the only passageway sealed by Qing Emperor was, no one knows yet. There are no records in the ancient books, presumably in order to prevent outsiders from finding the location of the seal and destroying it … ”
After listening to what he said slowly, Xiao Chen fell into deep thought. He thought that what Ku Lingzi said was exactly the same as what the strange old man He Manzi had said in the clouds and winds that day, and it was not the slightest bit different from what he had said.
Ten thousand years ago, what exactly happened? Qing Emperor I’s cultivation was unmatched, and the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden was nowhere to be found. What exactly happened at that time? In ancient books, there were only a few numbers of cultivation methods cultivated by descendants of Qing Emperor …
After a long time, Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and said with a frown, “In your opinion, could that person be someone from the Outer Heavens? That day in Feng Yuntian, I saw two people from Jiuyou Clan. Presumably, the seal set up by Qing Emperor has gradually loosened …”
“Mm …”
Ku Lingzi nodded slightly and said, “That person is a member of the Taoist sect. As for whether he is related to the Outer Heavens or not, this matter … is still unclear.”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He thought that in the past, the old fellow could quickly determine anything. Only this time, even he could not be sure. It seemed that the identity of that person was indeed somewhat mysterious.
However, at this moment, his primary concern was still the Bone Corrosion Lands. This time, he had to obtain a spot to go to Ancient Immortal Realm.
Ku Lingzi shared his thoughts and said, “Little brat, if you think it over, don’t hesitate. However, there is one thing I want to remind you. Since the Bone Corrosion Land is called the most dangerous place in the Spirit Ruins Realm, there must be a reason for it. Do everything carefully. If you die this time, no one will save you.”
At this point, he turned his head and looked at the sea of clouds in the distance under the curtain of night. He continued, “Although strength is the most important thing in that place, there must be some powerful forces there. After you go, you must be more careful and remember that you are no longer the master of Lustless Heaven after you reach the Land of Bone Corrosion.”
Xiao Chen nodded, “I know, you too. Be careful. The Nether Soul Master already knows where you are, so he will definitely make another move …”
…
A few days later, Xiao Chen prepared everything and explained everything to Xiao Cangtian and the others. As for Leng Baihu, Bai Luan would guide him in cultivating for a few days. Before leaving, Madam Xian Shu handed him the Black Tortoise Armor.
Feeling the cold aura coming from Black Tortoise’s armor, Xiao Chen felt an indescribable pain in his heart. It turned out that Wei Yang was already prepared to die that day, so he took off his armor and left it for himself Xuanqing Sect, wait for me to come back.
Seven days later, he came to Hill of Illusory Ruins again. The news about Heavenless Palace before had not only spread throughout Yu Ding, even Hill of Illusory Ruins was the same. Perhaps now, it had already spread to the Bone Corrosion Lands.
This afternoon, Xiao Chen arrived in Tianzhu City. Previously, Tianzhu Palace had helped him several times. Since he was passing by this time, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude. At the same time, he also wanted to know why the other party had helped him time and time again.
Tianzhu City was the largest city in Hill of Illusory Ruins. It was surrounded by spiritual energy and was extremely prosperous. There were many cultivation forces in the city. If Hill of Illusory Ruins was an extremely chaotic place in Spirit Ruins Realm, then Tianzhu City was the most orderly place in the chaos.
It was only because there was a Tianzhu Palace in Tian Zhu City.
But Tianzhu Palace, like Lustless Heaven, was floating ten thousand feet above Tianzhu City. Ordinary people could hardly get up, and no one dared to go up as they pleased.
“Is this friend going to Tianzhu Palace?”
Just as Xiao Chen arrived at an empty space, a man dressed in black walked towards him. Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “Are you from Tianzhu Palace?”
The man smiled and said, “Then you must be the Lord of Lustless Heaven. Please follow me.”
Right now, Xiao Chen’s aura was much deeper than before, and it was difficult for ordinary people to sense it. It was unknown how this man recognized him.
Moments later, Xiao Chen followed him to the sky. He saw the nearby islands floating in the air. They were very similar to Lustless Heaven. However, they did not have the immortal energy of Lustless Heaven. Instead, they felt a sense of foreboding. Especially the seven tallest islands. From a distance, the seven palaces above gave off a chilling feeling.
After arriving at the Qilin Palace, the sound of wheels rang out in the hall. Not long after, the Qilin came out from its wheelchair.
Qilin was always so gentle and elegant, but his eyebrows were hidden. At this moment, he smiled gently and said, “Lord Xiao has come from afar, but I’m sorry that I am is inconvenient to go out to welcome him … Please.”
Xiao Chen cupped his hands and came to the hall. “Speaking of which, I didn’t have time to thank the Qilin Palace Master last time in the Heavenless Palace.”
Hearing this, Qilin smiled brightly, “A small matter is not worth mentioning.”
Xiao Chen added, “Actually, Xiao still has some uncertainties. I wonder why Tianzhu Palace has repeatedly helped I am?”
“Oh?”
Qilin looked at him and smiled, “Could it be that Lord Xiao was puzzled by this matter? Speaking of which, your father, Xiao Zhufeng, had a friendship with Palace Master Azure Dragon back then …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Actually, he had already guessed that it was related to his father. However, how could his father be related to the Azure Dragon that had disappeared for so many years? Moreover, what did Qilin mean by’a friendship ‘?
“But as far as I know, Palace Master Azure Dragon disappeared a hundred years ago …”
The Qilin smiled and said, “That’s just rumors outside. What does Venerable Lord Xiao think?”
“I see …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. This time, he was finally relieved. In fact, he had an indescribable feeling when he saw Acheron Valley back in Qilin a long time ago. This feeling must have something to do with his father.
This time, he came to Tianzhu Palace. Although this place was much colder than Lustless Heaven’s, he didn’t feel any restraint when he came up. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Qilin chuckled and asked, “Where is Venerable Xiao going this time?”
“The Land of Bone Corrosion.”
Xiao Chen said without concealing anything. This time he went to the Bone Corrosion Lands, it was actually extremely confidential and could not be known by any other faction. However, right now, in front of Tianzhu Palace and the mysterious Qilin, he felt that there was no need to conceal anything.
All these years, no matter where he was, he would always remain vigilant. However, standing in front of Sick Tianzhu Palace in Qilin, he had a completely relieved feeling. He could not explain why he had such a feeling.
“The Land of Bone Corrosion …”
Qilin focused his attention and said, “As far as I know, the Bone Corrosion Lands have ten great lords. And these ten places are occupied by countless forces. They are the Land of Mad Corpses, the Land of Bitter Frost, the Land of Ghost Cry, the Land of Asura, the Land of Nether, the Land of God Burial, the Land of Mirage Sea, the Land of Undying, the Land of Mysterious Yin, and the Land of Forbidden.”
Hearing him mention the ten main lands, Xiao Chen’s heart narrowed slightly. Just listening to these ten names gave him an extraordinary feeling.
After a pause, Qilin added, “You’ll be heading east in about a month. The first place you’ll arrive at should be Mirage Sea. Although this place is called ‘Mirage Sea’, it’s not an ocean. However, there are some dangerous places in it. Don’t try it easily. Otherwise, you’ll easily get lost. If you get caught up in it, no matter how powerful you are, you won’t be able to come out again.”
“Qilin, who is with you?”
At this moment, a gentle male voice suddenly came from outside the hall. The Qilin looked out and chuckled softly, “It’s the Son of the Wind.”
“Oh?”
Outside, a Qingyi man walked in. His long hair was like a waterfall, and his appearance was handsome. However, his eyes were covered with a black gauze. On his left shoulder, there was a small azure bird flying.
“This is …”
Xiao Chen looked at him, wondering if he couldn’t see it in his eyes.
Qilin smiled and said, “He is Zhongming.”
“So it’s Palace Master Zhongming …”
Xiao Chen slightly cupped his hands and looked at the little green bird on Chongming’s left shoulder. With the Life and Death Technique, he could tell that it was not a living creature at a glance. However, it was so lifelike that it was no different from a living creature. He was curious, “This green bird is so special.”
The Qilin chuckled softly, “Chongming’s mechanical technique is excellent. This is the mechanical bird he made. Don’t look at such a small green bird, it’s very powerful. He also completed the ‘Qilin Fire’ beneath me.”
“Mechanical technique …”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He thought to himself, “If I can’t see with my eyes, can I actually make such a precise machine?”
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something. The Golden Crow Foot he had accidentally obtained in the Eastern Continent had been damaged. The Golden Crow Foot was an ancient treasure with great power. Unfortunately, when he picked it up at that time, it had already been damaged. However, even if it was in a damaged state, its power was equally astonishing. Now, could he give it to Chongming to try repairing it? He said, “I wonder if Chongming Palace Master, can you look at something for me and see if it can be repaired?”
However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly regretted it. Today was his first time in Tianzhu City, and he was originally here to express his gratitude. Why did he trouble others again?
Qilin saw what he was thinking at this moment and raised his hand to smile, “It doesn’t matter. Chongming likes to play with those things the most. Sovereign Lord Xiao, why don’t you take out that kind of thing for him to take a look?”
“Mm …”
Zhong Ming also nodded, “Show me what it is.”
