As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1247
Chapter 1247 Undying Sea
“Daoist Priest has come today, but he has already set a date to go to the Four Alliances Temple.”
Xiao Chen slowly stood up. He went to the door and opened it. He saw Daoist Hao standing outside the courtyard. However, his expression was somewhat different from usual. He did not have the same smile as before.
“What’s wrong, Taoist Priest?” Seeing his current appearance, Xiao Chen knew that something must have happened this time.
At this time, Daoist Hao slowly revealed a smile and said, “Today … I am here to discuss this matter with little friend. Two days ago, the Alliance Master discussed it with the other three Alliance Masters. In the end, the Four Alliances thought …”
“What do you think?”
Xiao Chen frowned and asked.
Daoist Hao forced a smile and said, “The four alliances believe that little friend Xuan Yue has indeed contributed this time, but this contribution is not enough for little friend Mirage Sea to obtain Mirage Sea Veluriyam, so …”
“So what?”
Xiao Chen’s face remained calm. It was a little beyond Daoist Hao’s expectations. He had thought that the other party would explode with rage after hearing about this. He didn’t expect it to be so calm, but his calm expression didn’t mean that he didn’t have any thoughts in his heart.
Daoist Hao continued, “Little friend, if you want to get this Mirage Sea glass, I’m afraid you’ll have to get something else first …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed as he said coldly, “Taoist priest, you may as well speak clearly.”
Under this sharp gaze, Daoist Hao felt uncomfortable all over his body. He could only hide it with a smile and said, “Little friend, do you know the Heart of the Asura?”
Xiao Chen still watched him remain silent. Daoist Hao smiled awkwardly and said, “Two days ago, the Four Alliances thought that if this little friend could bring back this Asura’s Heart, then he would be able to obtain Mirage Sea Liu-Li …”
“What is an Asura’s Heart?”
Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm, but his tone gradually became indescribably cold. Daoist Hao could naturally feel it, and his smile did not change. He said, “In the eastern part of the Asura Sea, there is a place called the Undying Sea. In the Undying Sea, there is an Asura Array, and the heart of the Array is the Heart of the Asura.”
At this point, Daoist Hao paused. Seeing that Xiao Chen was still silent, he continued, “The Asura Formation condensed ancient spiritual energy. It is extremely powerful. With this array here, Mirage Sea will never be able to contend against the Asura …”
“That’s why you all want me to destroy this formation.”
Xiao Chen stared at him. At this moment, his voice seemed to become even colder. Daoist Hao also felt very uncomfortable with his gaze. He said, “The Undying Sea is filled with Asura Qi and cannot be broken like the Misty Hidden Realm. Therefore, it seems that only Little Friend can go there alone.”
After pausing for a while, Daoist Hao continued, “As long as you take the Asura’s Heart, this formation will not last for long. At that time, little friend only needs to bring the Asura’s Heart back. This Mirage Sea Liu-Li will belong to little friend …”
“Wang Ting told you this personally.”
Xiao Chen’s tone was icy cold. This time, he didn’t even bring the word Alliance Master with him. Daoist Hao forced a smile on his face. “Then … little friend, what do you think?”
“I want to see him.”
“Alright …”
After arriving at the Immortal Palace and seeing Wang Ting and confirming this matter, Xiao Chen was still feeling very uncomfortable. The atmosphere in the hall gradually became cold and solemn. The elders lowered their heads and pondered silently.
After a while, Wang Ting said, “If Young Hero Xuan Yue is ready, we will start our operation in seven days. There are many dangers in the Undying Sea. In order to ensure Young Hero’s safety, the four alliances will send experts to meet him in the Undying Overseas Lands.”
“Whether you get the Asura’s Heart or not, you can give me the Mirage Sea Veluriyam.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were a little cold. He was no longer as polite as before. Now, it seemed that the two sides had completely become a deal, and there was nothing to say.
Wang Ting nodded, “That’s right, this is the result of the four alliances’ discussion. I can’t make any private decisions, so Young Hero Xuan Yue …”
“There’s no need to say anything.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and stopped him from continuing. Then, he turned around and walked out of the door. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, “Seven days from now, we will be in the Undying Sea. I hope that the four alliances will keep their promises.”
This sentence was inexplicably frightening, especially to the elders in the hall. For some reason, they felt their hearts tremble and they were slightly uneasy. However, when they regained their senses, the other party had already left.
“Alliance Leader, look …”
At this time, a red-clothed elder came to his senses and looked at Wang Ting. Wang Ting frowned deeply and said, “Let’s just do this …”
…
That night, there was no light on the stars or the moon. The night wind was cold and fierce. Xiao Chen was sitting alone in the pavilion. His eyes were closed, but in his mind, it was still the scene of the day.
He knew that if he broke through the Asura Formation, the four alliances of Mirage Sea would be able to smoothly attack the Asura and seize Spiritual Bloodline Force, but …
If he didn’t retrieve the Asura’s Heart, he wouldn’t be able to obtain a spot to go to Ancient Immortal Realm. Once Ancient Immortal Realm opened, he wouldn’t be able to obtain a spot, so he would probably have to wait for the next A class.
Even if he had the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi in his body, Fairy Su Wen had given him a “life renewal” last time, allowing him to temporarily suppress the life and death backlash in his body with the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi. Even if he could wait for another A, how could Wei Yang wait for another A?
After one A, it would be impossible for Wei Yang to wake up at that time …
The night breeze was miserable as it continuously slammed against the window, causing people to feel excited. In the end, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. At this moment, his gaze was fixed, as if his solitary heart had been set, and it was difficult for anyone to dissuade him.
Seven days later, the experts sent by the four alliances had already gathered. The Undying Sea was located in the northwest of Mirage Sea, but to reach the Undying Sea, they had to pass through an “ownerless land”.
The environment of this landless land was extremely harsh. Not only was the spiritual energy thin, but there were often spatial rifts and storms sweeping past. There were even ancient exotic beasts hidden within. They were extremely dangerous and unsuitable for anyone to live in.
Therefore, neither Mirage Sea nor Shura wanted to compete for this place. In the end, this place became a landless place. In the past, only those who were hunted down would have no choice but to run to the landless place. However, if they ran in, they would most likely die inside.
Before leaving, Daoist Hao reminded again, “Little friend, after you go to the Asura Sea, you must be more careful. If you really can’t get the Asura’s Heart, then there’s no harm in retreating …”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He went to meet up with the experts sent by the four alliances. The Undying Sea was in the northwest of Mirage Sea, so it was the fastest to set off from the Northern Alliance. The formations on the way could send them all the way to the Ownerless Lands. Once they reached the Ownerless Lands, they would have to walk on foot.
Seven days later, everyone had arrived at the Ownerless Land. However, they saw strange peaks and rocks standing in front of them. The sky was dark, cold winds whistling, sand flying, rocks flying, birds flying in the air, and beasts flying on the ground. Only the skeletons that were half-hidden in the ground were filled with a deathly aura.
This time, the four alliances sent out quite a few experts. Six of them had already reached the peak of the Quasi-Sage realm. However, even so, after arriving at the Ownerless Land, they still didn’t dare to be careless, much less rush into it to avoid attracting Storm Void Power.
The Land of Bone Corrosion was a fragment left behind after the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was shattered. Although it was relatively complete, there were still many places that were filled with cracks in the void. Once they were sucked into these cracks, there would be almost no life or death.
And if it caused an even more terrifying spatial rift storm, causing a shockwave like Feng Yuntian to collapse, at that time, countless people would die in the entire Bone Erosion Lands.
That was why even those who had already entered the Sage realm would not dare to let down their guard when they came to a dangerous place like the Ownerless Land.
At this moment, the sky was filled with sand and wind. Everyone withdrew all their aura and carefully walked in this deathly silent land. After walking for hundreds of miles, they didn’t see any birds or beasts. Only the bones on the ground that were filled with deathly aura.
Many people had fled to the Ownerless Land before, but in the end, they all died inside. Although this Ownerless Land was not as terrifying as the Forbidden Land, it would still become a fear in the hearts of cultivators in Mirage Sea. There were even places where they did not dare to ride a sword. If they were to encounter a storm in the void, even if they were to ride a sword, it would be almost impossible for them to escape.
Just like that, after carefully traveling through this landless region for seven days, he finally got closer and closer to the Asura Sea’s boundary.
The further ahead, the more the crowd could feel the cold aura of the Asura. When they arrived at the foot of a rocky mountain, an old man said, “Young Hero Xuan Yue, not far ahead is the Immortal Sea. We can’t go any further. Otherwise, it might attract the attention of the Asura. In the future, we’ll have to leave it to little friend alone.”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the crowd. “Everyone, there’s no need to continue forward,” he said.
“Mm …”
An ASEAN elder nodded. He solemnly said, “We will be here to meet Young Hero, But remember, young hero, Once in the Undying Sea, That is the Asura’s domain. We must be very careful. If we succeed in obtaining the Asura’s Heart, we will definitely trigger an alarm. At that time, a large number of Asura’s experts will rush over. At that time, Young Hero must remember that no matter what, we must return here as soon as possible. We must not be reluctant to fight. Once the Asura King arrives, we may not be able to leave … ”
At the last celebration banquet, Xiao Chen had seen this old man. He nodded his head and didn’t say anything else. He moved forward. Very quickly, his figure disappeared into the sandstorm.
Everyone watched as his figure disappeared without a word. This time, the task was much more difficult than before. How could it be that easy to obtain the Shura’s Heart?
The sky was filled with sand, and after an unknown amount of time, the sky had gradually darkened. Under the light curtain of night, this deathly silent land looked even more sinister and terrifying.
That night, Moon hung high in the sky, illuminating everything around him. Xiao Chen had already withdrawn his aura and unknowingly entered the Asura Sea. The Asura Sea was not a sea, just like Mirage Sea. There were also mountain peaks, rocks, and valleys filled with spiritual energy.
However, there were many places where Asura Qi permeated. Some of these Asura Qi could be seen, like a faint black mist, but most of them were invisible to the eyes. Once they entered, the cultivators of Mirage Sea would be corroded by this invisible Asura Qi.
It was precisely because of this that the people of the Mirage Sea Four Alliances did not dare to easily enter the Asura Sea. However, once the Asura Array was broken, the Asura Qi would slowly dissipate over time. At that time, the Asura Land would no longer be obstructed by the people of the Mirage Sea Four Alliances.
