As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1238
Chapter 1238 Four Alliances Together
Until dusk fell on this day, Wang Ting arranged for Xiao Chen to stay in the Immortal Palace, but Xiao Chen politely declined on the ground that “the high place was cold.”
Actually, Lustless Heaven was more than ten thousand feet high in the sky. He was countless times taller than the Immortal Palace. However, he had never been unaccustomed to it. How could he not be accustomed to the fact that the Immortal Palace was “invincibly cold at high altitudes”?
However, if he stayed in the Immortal Palace, on the one hand, he would be watched everywhere, making it difficult for him to move, and on the other hand, the ASEAN Alliance Leader would suddenly leave an outsider in the Immortal Palace, which would definitely attract the attention of many people.
In this way, Xiao Chen would rather go down to the city and find an inn than stay in the Immortal Palace. However, since Wang Ting intended to rope him in, he had to take 10,000 steps back. Even if Wang Ting had no intention of roping him in, he had saved Wang Ting’s daughter, so how could Wang Ting let him stay in the inn?
Towards the south of Zhaoyue City’s eastern district, there was a Merlin Garden called Merlin Garden. It had taken Wang Ting more than 20 years to build it, and it had cost him countless manpower and financial resources in the past.
This Merlin Garden occupied an extremely large area. Azure mountains surrounded it, and green water flowed about. Not only was the scenery quiet and undisturbed, there were also green mountains and spirit gathering formations around it. It was extremely rich in spiritual energy and was very suitable for cultivation.
More importantly, there was a barrier outside the Merlin Garden, and no one, including Wang Ting, could peek inside.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to live in this Merlin Garden, but this time, Wang Ting let Xiao Chen live in it. This treatment was better than leaving him in the Immortal Palace directly.
As the night fell, Xiao Chen followed Daoist Hao to the Merlin Garden. As soon as he stepped into it, he could feel the abundance of Spiritual Qi in this place, and it even surpassed some of the cultivation profound sects.
Behind them were sixteen maids. These sixteen maids were not ordinary maids. Not only were they beautiful, capable of singing and dancing, proficient in zither, weiqi, calligraphy and painting, but they also had some cultivation. They could also cast some small spells, as if they were the real fairy of the Heavenly Palace.
Along the way, Xiao Chen saw that the scenery of the lakes and mountains in the Merlin was indeed excellent. The layout of some pavilions and waterside pavilions was also very exquisite and exquisite. It was compatible with Zhou Shan’s Spiritual Energy Formation. It could be seen that Wang Ting was also a person with a large hill in his chest.
When they arrived at a platform, they saw plum blossoms falling from the garden like snow. Following a gust of wind, some of them landed on the surface of the lake, causing ripples. Some landed on the pavilion platform in the middle of the lake, like Deva stained with frost, and some landed on Xiao Chen’s shoulder. At this moment, he looked even more peerless, and his immortal energy was faint.
“I never imagined that there would be such an elegant place amidst the clamor of the busy market.”
Xiao Chen walked slowly into the courtyard with plums all over the ground. However, when he saw that the rocks in the courtyard were clumsy and the water in the pond was clear, a few carps drilled under the rockery.
Daoist Hao chuckled and said, “Little friend will stay here in the future. If you need anything, just say it … That little girl Yun Meng can’t be free all day. I think she will most likely disturb you every day these days. At that time, little friend, don’t dislike her for being noisy, hehe.”
…
When night fell, the sixteen maids stayed behind, while Daoist Hao flew back to the Immortal Palace. Xiao Chen sat on the platform beside the lake. The environment in the Merlin Garden was indeed very comfortable, but the more comfortable it was, the more he would not let down his guard, nor would he forget the purpose of his trip.
“Dong, dong, dong …”
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, followed by a maidservant’s voice, “Childe, the hot water is ready. If Childe wants to take a bath and change his clothes now, please move to Merlin North Garden.”
Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. Under the shaking of the lights, he could vaguely see two figures standing outside the door. Now, it was good that even he had someone to take a bath and change his clothes. No one had served him like this in Lustless Heaven.
When they arrived at a pavilion in the north courtyard, they saw two lanterns swaying in the wind under the eaves. Below them stood two women dressed in snow-white clothes. When they saw him coming, they bowed gently and said, “Childe.”
On the side of the bathtub behind the screen, there were two women with an indifferent immortal aura. One was holding neat clothes, while the other was holding wine and fruit plates. It seemed that a Mortal Emperor was nothing more than that.
“You guys go out.”
“Yes, Childe.”
Xiao Chen took off his clothes and entered the bathtub. Waves of hot air surged up. In his mind, what happened during the day appeared again.
From the look in Wang Ting’s eyes, he naturally could tell that the ASEAN Alliance Leader had also encountered a difficult problem. Perhaps only he could solve it. This was the best way. If the other party did not need him at all, then how could he obtain the spot in the Ancient Immortal Realm?
At this moment, in a secret hall of the Immortal Palace, there were three people in the hall. They were the two old men beside Wang Ting and Wang Yunmeng.
At this moment, Wang Ting’s expression was solemn. After a long time, he said, “You two, are you sure you didn’t see wrongly that day?”
“I’m absolutely sure.”
The two old men nodded solemnly again. Old man Zi Yi on the left said, “That day, I saw clearly that not only was he able to easily break through the Asura Mist Realm, but he was not afraid of the Asura’s demonic aura at all …”
“I’m not afraid of the Asura Qi at all …”
Wang Ting’s gaze narrowed. Was he really not afraid of the demonic aura at all?
Seeing that he still didn’t believe him, Old man Qingyi on the right solemnly said, “This matter is absolutely true. The two of us definitely wouldn’t have misjudged that day. He wasn’t using Genuine energy’s luck to resist the Asura Demon Fiend, but the demon fiend Qi that couldn’t corrode him at all …”
“Is this really the case?”
Wang Ting still didn’t believe it. Even if he had already stepped into the Sacred Realm, he didn’t dare to say that he wasn’t afraid of the Asura Demon Fiend. Not to mention the serious consequences of an ordinary person being corroded by the Asura Demon Fiend, even if it was him, if he was accidentally corroded by the Asura Demon Fiend, it would at least be detrimental to his cultivation.
It was precisely because of this that over the past ten million years, no matter how high one’s cultivation level was, no matter how high one’s cultivation level was, no one in Mirage Sea dared to enter the Land of Asura so easily. They could only continue to be expelled from the border area.
However, in recent years, the demonic aura of the Asura had become more and more powerful. With the addition of a few Asura experts, even though the number of cultivators on Mirage Sea’s side far exceeded the Asura’s, they still suffered frequent failures.
Seeing that the Alliance Leader was lost in thought, Old man Zi Yi whispered, “I heard that King Mu lost a battle on the Ghost Cliff side not long ago, and nearly 200,000 people were injured … What does the Alliance Leader think of this matter?”
“Of course I know about this.”
Wang Ting concentrated. This time, it wasn’t just the Chu Clan’s people who lost, but also his ASEAN cultivators, wasn’t it?
Every time they encountered the Asura Mist Realm, everyone had to retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, once they were trapped within the Asura Mist Realm and were infected by the Asura Qi, they would not be able to escape death. Furthermore, if they were infected by the Asura Qi, even after their death, they would become demons driven by the Asura Qi.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Ting sent a letter to the other three alliances this time. The alliance of the four alliances had to pull back a round no matter what. Otherwise, if this continued, morale would be greatly reduced. At that time, cultivators from various factions would all withdraw and hide. At that time, the consequences would be even more embarrassing.
Old man Zi Yi said, “I have an idea. Since this young hero Xuan Yue is not afraid of the Asura Demon Fiend, why don’t we add him to the original plan and represent our Immortal Palace and Alliance Master … What do you think?”
“Very good!”
Wang Ting smiled and said, “Young Hero Xuan Yue is very capable, and he is not afraid of demonic qi. This time, the heavens are helping me …”
After saying that, he turned around and said to Old man Zi Yi, “Young Hero Xuan Yue saved Meng’er in Yunling this time. Tomorrow, you can ask Meng’er to bring some gifts to Merlin Garden. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain it.”
Old man Zi Yi understood his intentions and smiled, “Alright …”
“Also …”
Wang Ting looked at Old man Qingyi and said, “Old Feng, think of a way to find out who this person is. He is definitely not a disciple of the Starnet Sect.”
…
The next day, Xiao Chen was watching the fish in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. A person came from behind. However, when he saw that person’s green clothes fluttering about, it was reflected in a painting with the scenery of the lake and mountains. His figure was even more beautiful. It was none other than Wang Ting’s daughter, Wang Yunmeng.
“Miss Yun Meng.”
Xiao Chen turned around and saw Wang Yunmeng smiling like a flower, “Xuan Yue Childe, are you here alone? Daddy asked me to come and say thank you for saving me that day.”
Xiao Chen said, “It’s not worth mentioning that the road is uneven.”
“Hehe!”
Wang Yunmeng’s smile was as bright as clouds. She blinked her large, watery eyes and looked at him, “This Merlin is quite big. You don’t know how to leave alone, do you? Let’s go, I’ll take you to play!”
For the next few days, Wang Yunmeng would come to Merlin to look for him every day. Occasionally, she would bring some snacks with her. As the pearl of the ASEAN Alliance Leader, coupled with her beautiful appearance, it was unknown how many people in ASEAN wanted to carry a beauty back to the peak of their lives. From then on, they would step into the clouds and step onto the pinnacle of their lives.
However, Xiao Chen did not intend to interfere with the beauty in front of him. These past few days, he had learned something about the Four Alliances and the Asura from Wang Yunmeng. Most importantly, the only spot in the Ancient Immortal Realm.
The Land of Mirage Sea indeed held a spot. The token for this spot was called “Mirage Sea Veluriyam.” There was only one spot in the entire Mirage Sea. Currently, it was sealed in the “Four Alliances Temple.” Only Mirage Sea Veluriyam could hold this spot.
A few days passed. On this day, as usual, Xiao Chen was observing fish at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. A cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. From a closer look, it was not the cloud, but Daoist Hao, who had soared into the clouds and rode over the fog.
“Daoist Priest Hao.”
Xiao Chen guessed that the other party would come today, because yesterday, he learned from Wang Yunmeng that the four alliances were working together. This time, the four alliances would each pick one of the most outstanding young men and go to the Ghost Rock to destroy the Asura there in one fell swoop, so as to boost the morale of the cultivators in Mirage Sea.
And these four youths, Chu Qingyu of ASEAN, also known as Childe Chu, were the sons of King Mu of ASEAN. They could be said to be the most outstanding of the four youths.
The remaining three were the Divine Palace’s Dragon Battle, the son of the Western Alliance’s Alliance Master. This person was born with divine power and held a Battle God Halberd in his hand. Rumors had it that he possessed the power of a Battle God, Xing Tian. He was extremely powerful.
Bai Yuhan of the Southern Alliance Cloud Pavilion was the personal disciple of the Southern Alliance Alliance’s Alliance Master. Her cultivation was also very high. The last person, Shangguan Ruoxue, was the daughter of the Northern Alliance’s Alliance Master, Shangguan Hong. Her talent was extraordinary since childhood. Rumor has it that her cultivation was not below Childe Chu’s.
Today, when Daoist Hao came to Merlin to look for him, Xiao Chen had probably already guessed what was going on. However, before the other party spoke, he had to confirm one thing, that is, if he could obtain the Mirage Sea Liu-Li. If he could obtain the Mirage Sea Liu-Li, he would only help Mirage Sea repel the Asura. Otherwise, there was no need to talk about it.
