As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1346
Chapter 1346 Ding Hai Zhu
A month later, Xiao Chen was still searching the vast Penglai Immortal Continent for the lost Ancient Era’s Immortal Mountain, Daiyu. But today, he had searched 108,000 kilometers, yet there was still no trace of this Immortal Mountain.
“Gu Mo, are you remembering wrongly?”
The spiritual energy in the nearby Immortal Dimension was very dense, but there was no trace of the Immortal Mountain. Xiao Chen was already suspicious that the lost Ancient Era’s Immortal Mountain really existed in this world.
“Kid, I told you long ago that Daiyu had disappeared ten thousand years ago. Whether you can find it or not depends entirely on luck. If it was so easy to find it, it wouldn’t be your turn to find the Dinghai Pearl.”
Just as he finished speaking, an immortal skeleton suddenly appeared in the void. However, the skeleton was emitting a faint glow, especially extraordinary. It was left behind by the ancient immortals, not the so-called “immortals” like Ancient Immortal Realm.
Seeing him suddenly come out of his sleeve, Xiao Chen asked, “Gu Mo, what are you doing out here? This Ancient Immortal aura on your body is too strong. It’s noticeable. I’m afraid that there will be trouble.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Gu Mo’s eyes narrowed as two dark green rays of light shone out from the hole. “There is no one within a radius of 10,000 kilometers. In addition, there are restrictions nearby. You can barely conceal my aura,” he said.
At this point, Gu Mo stopped and walked forward. He continued, “Brat, with you alone, if you continue searching like this, I think it will take 800 years to find Dai Yu. Forget it. I won’t hesitate to waste a layer of magic power to help you find him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his hands formed seals, and his last two fingers pointed towards the center of his skull’s eyebrows. At this moment, a surge of divine sense surged out, as if it had instantly extended a distance of 100,000 kilometers!
Feeling such a strong divine sense, Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. He recalled how Gu Mo used to say how this old man was back then. It seemed that he really had some ability.
After about an incense stick of time passed, two dark green rays of light suddenly shot out from Gu Mo’s two holes. At this moment, his divine sense was retracted and he said, “Go northwest.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else and immediately headed northwest with him. Just like that, the two of them exchanged their divine senses and finally arrived at a place shrouded in a strange mist three days later.
This vast expanse was covered in white mist. Even if one entered the mist, they would not be able to see anything and would not be able to walk out.
However, their divine senses weren’t something ordinary people could compare to. Even in this thick fog, they wouldn’t lose their way. With Gu Mo around, they wouldn’t fall into any illusions.
“Looks like Daiyu is in this thick fog. It’s just like a mirage. Whether or not we can find him this time depends entirely on luck.”
Gu Mo spoke slowly, and Xiao Chen roughly understood what he meant. Daiyu did not seem to exist all the time, but appeared and disappeared from time to time like a mirage. It was possible for him to disappear for a few years, and then another month later, he disappeared into the fog. It was unknown when he would reappear again … and again.
“Wait …”
Suddenly, Gu Mo’s expression froze. He looked in another direction and said in a solemn voice, “Go that way. I can feel an abnormal aura over there …”
In this thick fog, Xiao Chen’s divine sense didn’t seem to be as clear as Gu Mo’s. After a day and night, the two finally arrived at the place Gu Mo could sense.
However, the fog here was too thick. If it didn’t dissipate, even if Dai Yu was right in front of them, the two of them wouldn’t be able to see it, and their divine senses seemed to be hindered in some way.
Gu Mo began to calculate the time. After a while, he said, “There will be another two hours. It will be three o’clock in the afternoon. At that time, the thick fog will dissipate temporarily, but there will only be one incense stick of time. If the fog wants to gather again, we must find Daiyu’s location immediately after the fog dissipates.”
The two of them sat here and waited quietly. Half an hour later, the fog around them had indeed shrunk a little. In the northeast direction, the outline of an immortal mountain could be faintly seen.
“Gu Mo, look over there …”
“Wait!”
Gu Mo stretched out his hand and pulled him back. At this moment, his expression became extremely solemn. He said, “Before the fog dissipates, you can’t go anywhere. What you see is probably just a mirage. We’ll talk about it when the fog around here completely dissipates.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen slowly calmed down and waited for the fog to dissipate. Sure enough, another half an hour passed. When the fog completely dispersed, there was no trace of the Immortal Mountain.
“It is indeed a mirage.”
Fortunately, Xiao Chen hadn’t walked out just now. Otherwise, he would have been easily lost in a mirage. This place was truly too strange.
“Let’s go.”
Gu Mo stood up. There was only one incense stick of time. Within one incense stick, he had to find Dai Yu. Otherwise, when the thick fog gathered again, he would have to wait for another three days. Now, even if it was only half a day, it was especially important for the two of them.
The two of them tried their best to search further away with their divine senses, but they still couldn’t find any trace of Immortal Mountain within a radius of 10,000 kilometers. Could it be that the two of them had gone to the wrong place, or that Dai Yu had already disappeared?
Right at this moment, Xiao Chen’s divine sense condensed. Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something and said, “It’s nearby. Do you feel it?”
“En …”
Gu Mo’s expression also became serious, but there was no trace of Immortal Mountain in the vast surroundings.
“Now!”
At this moment, Gu Mo’s hands formed seals and golden rays of light flew out. The seemingly extremely mysterious magic power actually revealed the outline of the mountain in front of him.
Very quickly, the entire mountain appeared. Gu Mo’s golden light magic power was condensed at the edge. Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed. It was indeed the disappearing Immortal Mountain. Daiyu, so it really was here …
However, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled on the mountain. The ancient restrictions were heavy, and they looked extremely terrifying. Anyone who attempted to ascend the mountain would be annihilated by these restrictions.
“Brat, you’re the only one left. My magic power can only last for two hours at most. Within two hours, you have to find the Sea Setting Pearl. Even if you don’t find it, you have to come out. Otherwise, once Dai Yu disappears, you will also disappear. Do you hear me clearly?”
Gu Mo’s hands were still in a sealing posture, and his magic power was constantly being consumed. Streaks of golden light continuously flowed out from his bones.
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen stared at the Lost Immortal Mountain in front of him. He had two hours. Within two hours, regardless of whether he found the Ding Hai Pearl or not, he had to come out.
“Hurry up and go!”
Gu Mo activated his magic power again, and Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He kicked his feet and immediately flew up the mountain. As soon as he flew in, countless Heavenly Lightning Restraints rumbled down.
However, the restrictions on the outer layer weren’t very strong. With thirty-six strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi protecting him, this Heavenly Thunder wouldn’t be able to injure him.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the top of the Immortal Mountain. The restrictions here were already extremely powerful. If he was careless, even if he had thirty-six strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi and Black Tortoise Armor protecting his body, he would still be heavily injured, and even his physical body would perish.
This Immortal Mountain was extremely large. At this moment, he could only use his divine sense to continuously search for it, and at the same time, he had to avoid the restrictions that filled the mountain.
Just like that, another half an hour passed. Gu Mo was outside, and he was faintly unable to hold on any longer. The dense fog around him had once again enveloped him, and Daiyu was about to disappear again. If he disappeared this time, Gu Mo might not be able to make him appear again.
“Kid … hurry up!” Seeing that there was no sound coming from the mountain, Gu Mo sent a divine will inside.
At this moment, deep within the Immortal Mountain, Xiao Chen had received Gu Mo’s divine will. He was also calculating the time. He knew that Daiyu would disappear in a moment. If he did not leave before Daiyu disappeared, he would also disappear.
But Ding Haizhu, where exactly is she now?
“Kid … hurry!”
The entire mountain trembled faintly, and the edges gradually became half empty and half solid. It seemed that Gu Mo was almost unable to hold on outside, and he quickly said, “Come out!”
Deep in the mountains, Xiao Chen heard Gu Mo’s voice. He could also feel that Daiyu had already begun to disappear. If he didn’t go out, he would disappear along with him. However, he still hadn’t found the Dinghai Pearl!
“Kid … come out! Do you hear me?”
Gu Mo’s voice outside was already very urgent. In all this time, Xiao Chen had never seen Gu Mo in such a hurry. However, how could he give up at this moment … Where exactly was the Ding Hai Zhu? Where exactly was it?
It was at this moment that he finally found the Ding Hai Pearl. It turned out that the Ding Hai Pearl was right under his feet. As Dai Yu gradually disappeared, it finally shone with brilliance. Furthermore, there were two of the Ding Hai Pearls!
At this instant, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate. With a grand palm strike, a golden light palm print flew out, grabbing the two Sea Setting Pearls. In another instant, it unleashed Ling Xian Step and flew out at a critical moment.
Just as he flew out, the entire Immortal Mountain also disappeared. Gu Mo slowly withdrew his magic power. The green light in the hole in his eyes seemed to dim a lot. He coldly snorted, “You were really on time in an hour.”
“That’s not true.”
Xiao Chen held the two pearls in his hand that were blooming with a faint green light. At this moment, he could naturally feel the magic power within them. He thought that with this object, he would be able to break through the Waves of Wind in the Ten Thousand Layers of the Nether Sea.
…
Ten days later, the two of them returned to the Nether Sea. Gu Mo had already returned to his sleeve due to the exhaustion of his magic power. In the past month or so, there had been a lot of cultivators around the Nether Sea. It seemed that they were waiting for the calm waves of the sea to subside. Only a small number of them had gone to the sea.
Xiao Chen found a deserted place. He was currently carrying a spirit treasure like the Sea Settling Pearl, so he naturally couldn’t teach anyone to discover it. Otherwise, it would definitely cause a ruckus.
After confirming that there was no one in the surroundings, he picked up a Sea Setting Pearl and immediately went to sea. Indeed, as Gu Mo said, this Sea Setting Pearl was a Xiantian spirit treasure that could break through the ten thousand li calm waves.
The calm waves on the surface of the sea were originally extremely ferocious, but once they met the sea droplets, the wind and waves calmed down obediently.
However, even with a spirit treasure like the Sea Setting Pearl, it was impossible for him to arrive at the Penglai Immortal Mountain in a day. He would need at least half a month’s flight to reach the center of the sea.
On the seventh day, the sea was still ferocious, and the Immortal Mountain in the middle of the sea was still invisible. On this day, Gu Mo’s magic power recovered a little. Xiao Chen sent his divine sense to him, “Gu Mo, can you sense how far away it is?”
“Wait, up ahead …”
At this moment, Gu Mo seemed to have sensed something. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, a ten thousand meter tsunami surged in front of him. Xiao Chen immediately took out the Sea Setting Pearl and broke the ten thousand meter tsunami. However, there were actually more than ten immortal fighting techniques in front of him?
“What’s going on …”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. Then why didn’t he sense someone in front of him? Moreover, these people had actually crossed the waves of calmness and entered this place. Who were these people …
“Brat … quickly put away the Sea Setting Pearl!”
At this moment, Gu Mo’s voice suddenly entered Xiao Chen’s mind. However, it was already too late. When he used the Sea Settling Pearl to break through the tens of thousands of meters of violent waves, the immortals in front of him had already seen him.
