As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1283
Chapter 1283 The Past of Xiao Clan
Spirit Ruins Realm, Xiao Clan.
“The nights of the Peerless Peak are always so cold …”
It was already early winter, and there was a trace of coldness in the night breeze. At this moment, outside a pavilion on a cliff, there was a figure dressed in white like snow, standing on the moon.
The faint moonlight seemed to add a layer of flawless white veil to her body. The evening breeze gently brushed the strands of hair beside her ears, but she could not send them away. There was a faint trace of worry between her eyebrows.
She was supposed to be carefree, but she had to endure too much.
In the eyes of outsiders, regardless of her identity or cultivation, she was envious of others, something that no one could compare to.
However, no one could see that what she was carrying was the entire declining clan behind the cliff that she was standing on.
“Meng’er …”
Right at this moment, an old voice came from behind. Xiao Meng’er turned around and looked at the figure slowly coming up. She said softly, “Grandfather, why are you here …”
The visitor was wearing a long robe, and his white hair behind his shoulders rose in the wind. The wrinkles on his face also seemed to be carved with wind and frost. This person was none other than the current head of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuanfeng.
Xiao Xuanfeng’s cultivation in martial arts was extremely high. In terms of martial arts alone, almost no one in Yu Ding could compare to him. Even Tai Huazi had some fear towards him in the past.
At this moment, he slowly walked over to the pavilion and whispered, “It’s so late, why haven’t you gone back to rest yet? Why are you dumbfounded when you come to the rainbow pavilion? Isn’t it cold?”
As he spoke, he took out a mink fur and gently draped it over Xiao Meng’er, seemingly loving.
Xiao Meng’er turned around and looked across the cliff. She softly said, “I was just thinking, everyone in this world wants to live forever, but what exactly is true longevity? Did you wait until the day of true immortality to watch the people around you die one by one, and then end up alone without any worries …”
Hearing her say this, Xiao Xuanfeng was stunned. In the past, she had never said such words, but now, she had become so sentimental.
Xiao Meng’er took a deep breath. The cool breeze blew her temples, and blue threads danced about. It made her look even more immortal. But now, within her peerless immortal energy, it was as if there was a wisp of the dream beauty that was rightful in the human world.
At this moment, for some reason, the white-haired man slowly appeared in her mind.
“Meng’er, don’t think too much. Next month, it’s time to go to Ancient Immortal Realm. I’ve already arranged everything.”
Xiao Xuanfeng said slowly beside her.
“Mm …”
Xiao Meng’er nodded lightly. In Yu Ding, no one had ever fought for her. However, at this moment, scenes appeared in her mind. It was Xiao Chen who was one step ahead of her and went to the ninth level …
However, Xiao Chen’s qualifications were abolished because the Heavenless Palace Hall said that he was a devil, and the other cultivation forces of Yu Ding also acquiesced.
“Meng’er, are you still thinking about that person?” Xiao Xuanfeng turned around and looked at her.
How could he not know what Xiao Meng’er was thinking? He had always understood that Xiao Meng’er was actually very strong. If possible, she might wish to compete openly with Xiao Chen instead of being like this, as if she had been given a spot.
Xiao Meng’er did not say anything. After a long time, she asked, “Grandfather, there is something that I have not been very clear about …”
Seeing that she wanted to say something, Xiao Xuanfeng’s eyebrows narrowed and he said, “What is it? Tell me.”
Xiao Meng’er thought for a moment, then looked into the distance and said, “I seem to have heard that more than 600 years ago, our Xiao Clan … had a traitor?”
Hearing her suddenly mention this matter, Xiao Xuanfeng’s body trembled faintly, and his expression also changed. But very quickly, he returned to normal and asked, “Why … did you suddenly ask about this matter?”
Xiao Meng’er turned around and looked at him, “That person, his name is Xiao Hen, right? Why did he betray his family back then?”
“Xiao Hen …”
Xiao Xuanfeng took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes. This name, which had almost been forgotten by the Xiao Clan, had once again appeared in his mind.
Xiao Hen, the “number one person in the Xiao Clan” back then was also someone of his generation …
“Grandfather, what’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Meng’er had never seen such a strange expression on her grandfather’s face in such a long time. She couldn’t help but frown and ask.
“Nothing …”
Xiao Xuanfeng finally opened his eyes and sighed softly, “Back then, Xiao Hen’s cultivation was still higher than mine, but he … was still unable to escape from his inner demons, and in the end, he went astray.”
He turned around and asked, “Now that he has disappeared for many years, he hasn’t appeared in Yu Ding. Meng’er, why did you suddenly ask about this?”
“No, I just suddenly remembered.”
Xiao Meng’er shook his head and looked across the cliff, saying, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will definitely find the spiritual veins of the Celestial Realm when I go to Ancient Immortal Realm this time …”
…
Senrota, in the Profound Realm, Xiao Chen focused his mind and calmed his Qi. Thirty-six strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi wrapped around his body, and his True Qi was also circulating unhindered through all the acupoints in his body
Today was already the seventh day he entered the Profound Realm of Senrota to cultivate. His chaotic inner breath had been harmonized to this day. On the Life and Death Peak that day, after he killed Chu Yuanqing, he used the Soul Forbidden Technique to imprison his soul into eternal seclusion. Now that he only needed to refine it, there was another Soul General of the Second Realm.
That day on the Life and Death Peak, it was actually extremely dangerous. If it weren’t for the last moment, the Immortal Devil Divine Buddha Shadow beside him would definitely not have been able to break through Chu Yuanqing’s Formless Heaven and Earth.
Now that he had an extra two realms expert by his side, it could be said that he had an additional sword as sharp as Di Gu’s. Unless he encountered an expert from the three realms, he would not be afraid at all.
Another half month passed, but in the Profound Realm of Senrota, Xiao Chen felt as if a few months had passed. Even his True Qi seemed to be much more abundant.
Two days later, it was time to go to Yu Ding. On this day, He Chang lured him out of the Profound Realm and went outside. Tower Master Cang Lan also entrusted him with the matter of the previous Tower Master, Yu Zhen.
“Don’t worry, Pagoda Master Azure Water. If you meet Pagoda Master Yu Zhen, I will definitely tell her everything.”
Speaking of which, Senrota had helped him a lot this time. Since he had been entrusted with the task of being loyal, even though his main purpose in going to Ancient Immortal Realm this time was to find enough rain and dew in the Immortal World, it would be great if he could meet the previous Tower Master of Senrota.
Three days later, all the forces on the Bone Corrosion Lands had been arranged. There were a total of five spots, one of which was occupied by Xiao Chen.
On Mirage Sea’s side, although he had snatched away Mirage Sea Liu-Li, the Chu Clan still managed to obtain this spot. However, it was not Chu Qingyu who had originally planned to go to Ancient Immortal Realm, but a person called “Chu Fengzhi” that he had never heard of before.
As for who this Chu Fengzhi was, even on the Mirage Sea side, there were quite a few people who were curious. They heard that this person’s cultivation was still above that of Chu Qingyu, but it seemed that he had always been secretly nurtured by the Chu Clan, so few people outside knew about him.
“Chu Fengzhi …”
Senrotari, He Changyin, and the elders frowned deeply. Even though Mr. Mo had already warned the Chu Clan in the Frost Moon Mountain Range that day, they were still worried that something would happen to the Chu Clan. They were worried that the Chu Clan would harm Xiao Chen.
“You don’t have to worry.”
Xiao Chen walked in from outside and said, “I am very familiar with Yu Ding and there are quite a few of my people. I think it should be them who should be careful this time.”
A few days ago, Madam Xian Shu had already received news from the Bone Corrosion Lands. Xiao Chen had obtained the quota for the Bone Corrosion Lands this time. Madam Xian Shu had already arranged for more than a hundred factions in the Undesirable World, nearly 200,000 people, to welcome him back respectfully on Yu Ding’s side. With such a posture, nothing could happen again this time.
