As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1239
Chapter 1239 Childe Chu
Of course, Xiao Chen would not directly ask for this Mirage Sea glass. After all, Mirage Sea was not the only one who had the final say in how big Wang Ting was. Moreover, ASEAN did not treat him unfairly at the moment, so he would not make things difficult for Wang Ting. All he needed was fairness and justice.
If he didn’t have the strength to obtain this single spot, then he naturally had nothing to say. However, if he had the strength, then he had to fight for it.
“Little friend Xuan Yue, are you still used to living in the Merlin these days?”
Daoist Hao slowly landed in front of Xiao Chen with a warm smile on his face. He always looked amiable. No wonder everyone called him a “good Daoist”.
Xiao Chen said, “This place is very beautiful. Speaking of which, I am has never thanked Alliance Leader Wang for arranging such a quiet place for I am, so he won’t be disturbed by the outside world.”
Daoist Hao smiled and said, “Little friend, you’re too polite. That day in Yunling Mountain, little friend saved Yun Meng. I don’t know how to thank little friend for this matter …”
Xiao Chen said, “It’s just a small matter. It’s not worth mentioning. Speaking of which, why is Daoist Priest free to come to Merlin Garden today? It can’t be. He came here specifically to look for I am, right?”
“This …”
Daoist Hao smiled and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Chen said, “Oh right, Daoist Priest, over the past few decades, a large amount of spiritual energy has gradually flowed into the world. Do you know why?”
Daoist Hao’s gaze narrowed as he thought to himself, “Why did he suddenly ask me this?” “There are records in ancient times that when the Annihilation Era is about to arrive, large amounts of Spiritual Qi will gush into the heavens and the earth. At that time, cultivators in the mortal world will advance by leaps and bounds to resist the calamity of annihilation,” he said.
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at the distant mountains and lakes. He slowly said, “Speaking of which, the previous era was annihilated. In the end, the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World collapsed. All the experts in the world perished in that annihilation. Even the Eternal Immortal Devil Divine Buddhas that were known as immortal died. None of them escaped the annihilation tribulation.”
“This … it’s truly a pity that not only did those experts who stepped into the peak realm perish, but also those peerless ancient profound arts and immortal sect records were all lost.”
Daoist Hao walked up and sighed softly.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him, “After that annihilation, not only did the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World leave behind countless fragments, but the Immortal World also left behind a fragment in the mortal world. Every few years, it would open once, but it would not be easy to cross the gap in the Immortal World …”
“Oh?”
Daoist Hao’s eyes narrowed as he stared at him motionlessly. Finally, he nodded and said, “So this is why little friend is here.”
Now that there was no need for Xiao Chen to continue hinting, he understood. After a while, he finally heard him say, “To go to Ancient Immortal Realm now, no matter where you are, you need a spot. Mirage Sea just so happens to have such a spot. I think that girl Yun Meng told you that Mirage Sea’s token for this spot is Mirage Sea Liu-Li, who is sealed in the Four Alliances Temple …”
Xiao Chen said, “Then how about we get this Mirage Sea Veluriyam?”
“This …”
Daoist Hao looked at him with a smile on his face, “Little friend, don’t worry. Obtaining this Mirage Sea Glaze is naturally based on your own strength. Of course, apart from your strength, you must also contribute to the Land of Mirage Sea. In the end, you will be eligible to obtain this Mirage Sea Glaze, that is, the spot to enter Ancient Immortal Realm.”
“I see …”
Xiao Chen had already understood that only by contributing to the Land of Mirage Sea would he be able to obtain a place to go to Ancient Immortal Realm. This was reasonable. He asked, “Oh right, what did Daoist Priest want to say when he came down just now?”
Daoist Hao smiled, thinking to himself that this brat was also clever. Since that was the case, he didn’t beat around the bush and told him about the four alliances joining forces.
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said, “Alliance Leader Wang Ting wants me to represent the Immortal Palace and go with the four of them to the Ghost Rock to repel the Asura there?”
Daoist Hao smiled and said, “That’s right, that’s right. I heard that little friend, that day in the Cloud Ridge, you were fearless of the Asura Demon Fiend. I think you should be able to break through the Asura Mist Realm of the Ghost Rock. At that time, little friend will be the one to open the Asura Mist Realm. As long as the Asura Mist Realm is broken, we from the Four Alliances will be able to break through.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say much. Actually, he had already guessed it. Daoist Hao smiled and said, “In these two days, little friend will prepare. Also, I will tell the Alliance Master about Mirage Sea Liu-Li. Little friend can rest assured.”
…
That night, Daoist Hao returned to the Immortal Palace. In the secret hall, Wang Ting was discussing the matter with the other elders. Seeing him return, Wang Ting asked, “How did it go?”
Daoist Hao smiled and said, “Little friend Xuan Yue has already agreed to attack Ghost Luo Yan, but …”
“Just what?”
Another elder dressed in red saw him hesitate and asked anxiously, “Hao Daoren, don’t say half of what you want to say every time. However, what? Hurry up and say it.”
“Hehe, don’t worry, don’t worry.”
Daoist Hao smiled and told the story about Mirage Sea Liu-Li. After hearing this, the elders in the secret hall frowned and thought in their hearts, as expected, this brat still had some requests.
“Alliance Master, what do you think?”
The red-clothed elder looked at Wang Ting and saw that Wang Ting’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said, “If he makes a great contribution this time, then this Mirage Sea Liu-Li is justified to him … What do you think?”
“Mm …”
The elders stroked their beards and nodded. One of them said, “In the Chu Clan, Chu Qingyu will be returning to Soaring Firmament Palace soon. Apart from Chu Qingyu, none of them can compete for this little friend of Xuan Yue. As for the other three alliances, they were defeated in the last Martial Meeting, so it’s not their turn to speak … I think so, but …”
At this point, he looked at Wang Ting and said, “But there is only one spot. That little friend named Xuan Yue is not from ASEAN, after all. The Alliance Leader cannot give him this spot easily.”
Wang Ting nodded and said, “Naturally, I know that unless he is able to do something miraculous for ASEAN, and even for Mirage Sea as a whole …”
Daoist Hao listened from the side and finally smiled, “Alliance Master, do you think you need to reconsider this matter? If you agree, I will tell him that we can’t go back on our word at that time …”
Wang Ting looked at him. From his appearance, he really hoped that this person would stay in ASEAN. He said, “Although I still do not know where this person came from, in the future, if he is willing to stay in ASEAN, it would be great … As for the matter of Mirage Sea Liu-Li, it will not be too late to wait until after this time.”
…
A few more days passed, and Daoist Hao’s face was full of spring breeze. Seeing his current appearance, it seemed that the matter with Xiao Chen Liu-Li had gone quite smoothly.
“Daoist Priest, you’re here.”
“Little friend, how are you getting along these days? Tomorrow, we will leave for the Four Leagues Temple. At that time, the others will be there. Also … Tomorrow, we will be with Childe Chu. Has little friend seen him before?”
“Childe Chu …”
Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly. He shook his head and said, “On the way here, I heard a lot of people mention it, but I didn’t see him.”
“Good, good …”
Daoist Hao nodded and smiled, “Then tomorrow, I will introduce you.”
On the morning of the next day, Xiao Chen went to the Immortal Palace. Everyone in the entire Immortal Palace naturally knew about him, and they were whispering to each other outside the palace.
It wasn’t until noon that a sword light flew over from the sea of clouds. The sword light hadn’t yet approached, and the clouds had already flown to both sides. Everyone on this side could feel an extraordinary aura.
“Childe Chu is here …”
Quite a few people looked towards the direction where the sword light flew in. They saw that the sword light was getting closer and closer, slowly turning into a human figure.
Looking closely at that person, he was dressed in flawless white clothes, and his appearance was extremely handsome. He looked like a Misty Sword Immortal. Although his eyes were slightly cold, they were as clear as moonlight. Between his eyebrows, there was a transcendence that was difficult for an ordinary person to reach.
The sword light landed directly in front of the main hall. Chu Qingyu cupped her hands and said, “Chu Qingyu, greet the Alliance Leader.”
“Chu Childe is here. Please come in.”
Wang Ting was still sitting on the hall, and his dignity was not lacking. Daoist Hao sat beside Xiao Chen and smiled, “Little friend Xuan Yue, this is Chu Childe.”
Chu Qingyu’s white clothes weren’t stained with dust as she slowly walked towards the hall. Seeing Daoist Hao introducing herself to others, he naturally noticed the white-haired young man sitting beside Daoist Hao and asked, “Daoist Hao, this is …”
Daoist Hao smiled and said, “Chu Childe, this is the Xuan Yue Childe that Pauper Dao mentioned to you earlier. This time, Xuan Yue Childe will go to Ghost Rock with the four of you.”
After hearing that, Chu Qingyu’s expression did not change. He only glanced at Xiao Chen and said indifferently, “The Ghost Rock is dangerous, and most of the Asura Outsiders are fierce and violent. If Brother Xuan Yue passes by, you must be more careful. At that time, no one will be able to care about others.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became somewhat awkward. Obviously, he was saying that when the time came, Xiao Chen would pass, so don’t hold back. How could the crowd not recognize it? It was just that in the past, Childe Chu had never spoken like this, but what was going on this time?
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Daoist Hao smiled and said, “Although those Asuras are fierce, at that time, you only need to cooperate with them. You will definitely be able to break through them.”
Outside the hall, there were quite a few people peeking around, especially some female disciples who were looking inside in a daze.
Chu Yushu of Childe was facing the wind, and her beauty was peerless. She was the prince in every girl’s heart, so there was no doubt about it. As for this white-haired man, although he looked a little cold and ice-cold, it seemed that he was actually not inferior to Childe Chu?
By noon, Daoist Hao planned to take his men to Guiyuan City, where the Four Alliances Temple was located. Guiyuan City was located in the center of Mirage Sea. As the name implied, the Four Alliances Temple was an organization established by the Four Alliances. Every time the Four Alliances held a martial meeting, or something important, it would be held here.
Originally, traveling from Zhaoyue City to Guiyuan City would take nearly ten days. However, there were teleportation formations everywhere in Mirage Sea, so they would leave at noon and arrive at dusk at most.
When twilight fell, the group arrived at Guiyuan City. Guiyuan City was the hub of the four alliances, occupying an important geographical position. As such, it was no smaller than any other city in the four alliances. It could be said to be the most prosperous city in the entire Illusory Sea.
There were naturally quite a few powers from the four alliances in the city. Some came from the ASEAN Immortal Palace, some from the West Alliance Divine Palace, some from the South Alliance Cloud Pavilion, and some from the North Alliance Cloud Fault. Apart from that, there were also other powers.
Daoist Hao brought Xiao Chen, Chu Qingyu, and the others to the Four Alliances Temple. Only after asking did he know that the people from the other three Alliances hadn’t arrived yet. They would probably get there tomorrow morning at the earliest.
Everyone rested in the Four Alliances Temple for one night. The next morning, everyone went to the Cloud Platform of the Temple. A red light flew over from the horizon. Many people felt stifled. Following that, a blood-red figure landed on the Cloud Platform, causing the entire Cloud Platform to tremble. Even the people beneath them felt their hearts tremble.
“It’s the Dragon War …”
The person on the cloud platform was dressed in red armor, as if he was stained with blood. His eyes were cold and fierce. He could not help but retreat after only one glance. This person was the son of the Divine Palace Alliance Master Long Ju, Long Zhan.
“Chu Qingyu, I haven’t seen you for sixty years. You’re fine.”
Long Zhan looked at Chu Qingyu not far away. His voice was as cold as his eyes at this moment. Everyone below couldn’t help but shiver. Long Zhan was very bellicose. Although he had lost the competition with Chu Qingyu in the past, the intensity of the competition was so intense that everyone couldn’t help but tremble when they recalled it.
Chu Qingyu’s gaze still carried a cold feeling. She looked at him and said indifferently, “Brother Long Zhan, are you well …”
Just as he finished speaking, another figure flew over from the horizon. However, looking at that person holding a folding fan, he was like Chu Qingyu, dressed in white clothes that were not stained with dust. However, there was a smile on his face, and he did not look as cold and ice-cold as Chu Qingyu.
“It’s Bai Yuhan, his cultivation …”
Many people were stunned. This white-clothed man holding a folding fan was the personal disciple of the Cloud Pavilion Alliance’s Alliance Master. His name was Bai Yuhan. Although he had also lost the battle with Chu Qingyu in the past, his current cultivation was somewhat indiscernible.
Just as everyone was surprised, a gentle breeze suddenly blew over. It was as if snow had suddenly fallen from the sky. However, looking closely, it seemed that it was not snow, but flawless snow-white petals.
Amidst the petals in the sky, one could only see a person soaring into the air. That person was walking in the air, but his figure was as if he was walking on flat ground. His figure was extremely graceful and beautiful. With just a single glance, it was as if he had fallen into this dreamlike sea of flowers from now on.
“Ruoxue …”
Seeing this woman’s arrival, Chu Qingyu’s originally cold face finally revealed a faint smile as if the ice had melted away.
As for that woman, her white clothes were like snow, as if she had walked out of a painting. Bluegreen threads flew behind her shoulders, as if she was an immortal in a painting that took small steps in the sky.
At this moment, many people below were dumbfounded. She was none other than Shangguan Ruoxue, the daughter of the Northern Alliance’s Alliance Leader, Shangguan Ruoxue.
Sixty years ago, that competition was only because Chu Qingyu gave her a move, and she voluntarily admitted defeat. Up until now, everyone still remembered that competition.
At this moment, beneath the cloud platform, Xiao Chen looked at the white-clothed woman slowly descending onto the cloud platform. At first, he thought that it was Xiao Meng’er who had come.
