As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1357
Chapter 1357 Escape from Danger at the Tiger’s Mouth
“Brother … what’s wrong?” Seeing Xiao Chen suddenly turn serious, Xian’er opened her big eyes and asked.
“Nothing.”
Xiao Chen slowly calmed down. Based on the distance between his divine senses, Daoist Qingdeng was still very far away from him. However, inside this Immortal Realm, it was not the same as outside. He could fly with his sword at will.
There were many ancient restrictions in the Realm. Although most of these restrictions had been loosened, they still posed a threat. Therefore, he predicted that Daoist Qingdeng would not dare to barge into the Realm recklessly.
“Xian’er, let’s go.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Xian’er did not know that danger was approaching, but he still looked innocent and carefree, while Xiao Chen was already thinking carefully about how to get rid of Daoist Qingdeng.
This person was already at the Seven Realms. If he was a Six Realms cultivator, he would still be able to use the swords he had collected at the Ten Thousand Swords Pass, barely able to deal with him. However, a Seven Realms cultivator would have no chance of winning unless he stepped into the Saint Realm.
Fortunately, he was still in the Immortal Realm. It was impossible for the other party to catch up with him in a day or two. Therefore, he still had a chance to escape. This chance was not slim. Unless there was a dead end ahead, there was no way to leave the Immortal Realm.
Three days had passed. Although Xiao Chen had escaped Daoist Qingdeng’s pursuit, he did not reveal it. He still looked very relaxed because he did not want Xian’er to live in fear after just waking up from ten thousand years of slumber.
Therefore, these days, Xian’er always jumped all the way. She was naive and happy. She didn’t know that there was a terrifying person coming closer and closer.
This afternoon, Xiao Chen felt that Daoist Qingdeng was less than three hundred miles away from him. A Seven Realms cultivator was indeed formidable. In the end, he had underestimated him.
Originally, he thought that the dozen or so cultivators he met might still be above Daoist Qingdeng’s cultivation. But now, it seemed that he had underestimated this Daoist Qingdeng. Otherwise, those dozen or so people would not be able to enter. Why did this Daoist Qingdeng run in?
“Big brother, big brother, look how well these flowers are blooming …”
The young girl was innocent and adorable. She held a cluster of colorful flowers in her hand and ran towards Xiao Chen.
“En …”
Xiao Chen gently stroked her hair, then squatted down and carried her on his back, saying, “Xian’er, it’s getting dark. Let’s go faster.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Xian’er did not know that the powerful enemy behind him was close, but his face was still innocent. As for Xiao Chen, he carried her on his back, and the Ling Xian Step beneath his feet had already been executed to the extreme. Thousands of ravines and ravines seemed to be on the flat ground.
“Rumble!”
However, at this moment, a ferocious tremor came from somewhere, as if the entire Penglai Fairyland was violently shaking at this moment.
“Ah … big brother, what’s wrong …”
The young girl Xian’er seemed to be frightened by this sudden shock. Xiao Chen held his breath and concentrated. This shock … did not come from Daoist Qingdeng, but …
Suddenly, he remembered that the people outside wanted to break through the formations outside the Immortal Dimension, but he didn’t know that this Immortal Dimension wasn’t complete. The reason why it hadn’t collapsed for ten thousand years was because it had countless formations supporting it. Once the formations collapsed, the entire Immortal Dimension would most likely collapse as well.
Once the Immortal Realm collapsed, none of the people who were still in the Immortal Realm would be able to escape alive.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid.”
With the girl on his back, Xiao Chen continued to walk like the wind, heading all the way to find a way out.
In just a short moment, the shockwaves in the Immortal Realm had become more and more ferocious. Even the heavens seemed to have faintly cracked. Some of the surrounding mountains had already begun to collapse, causing the Immortal Deer Whitewash to scatter and flee in all directions.
Behind him, Daoist Blue Lantern was holding onto his whisk and riding his Qi. Naturally, he could sense that the shock was most likely due to the collapse of the Immortal Realm. The more this happened, the more he wanted to find Xiao Chen as soon as possible. It was not suitable for him to stay here for long.
But now, the spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm was chaotic, hindering his divine sense. Then, he pointed at the center of his eyebrows with two fingers, and a bloody light flew out, instantly disappearing into the horizon, as if it was some sort of soul searching divine ability.
…
Let’s just say that Xiao Chen sped all the way until dusk arrived before the shock of the Immortal Realm finally stopped. However, the final shock was extremely ferocious. Most likely, some of the formations had already collapsed.
Right now, the Immortal Realm was still able to survive because of the spiritual energy in the sky. However, even the spiritual energy in the sky wouldn’t be able to last much longer.
Xiao Chen knew in his heart that he had to bring Xian’er away from the collapsing Immortal World as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Daoist Qingdeng didn’t catch up with him and the group of Immortal World cultivators outside, once the Immortal World collapsed, he and Xian’er would still die inside.
Just as he was pondering, an aura came from the front and Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. He saw a figure standing in the forest in front of him.
The man was dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, his white hair rising in the wind, and he held a whisk in his hand. He looked like a fairy and extraordinary person. It was none other than Daoist Qingdeng.
“Little friend, where else do you plan to go?”
At this moment, Daoist Qingdeng’s cold and indifferent voice came from the forest. However, Xian’er was shocked and shouted, “It’s a bad person …”
“Huh?”
Daoist Qingdeng’s two sharp gazes landed on Xian’er. He had already discovered that there was something wrong with this girl, but now, it seemed that it was more in line with his previous speculation … It was truly a seizure of the good fortune of heaven and earth.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid. Senior, he isn’t a bad person.” At this moment, Xiao Chen slowly pulled the frightened Xian’er out from behind him.
Xian’er immediately reacted. Although she was naive and unfamiliar with the world, she was still fifteen or sixteen years old. She knew that this person in front of her was definitely a bad person, but now that her brother couldn’t beat him, she said that he wasn’t a bad person. This way, he wouldn’t harm her and her brother for the time being …
Xian’er was very smart and rolled his eyes. He smiled at Daoist Qingdeng and said, “Hello, Uncle. My name is Xian’er.”
“Xian’er?”
Daoist Qingdeng’s eyes narrowed as he thought about the miraculous nature of heaven and earth. This girl was actually formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the 10,000-year-old rain had all condensed into her body. Powerful! Powerful!
This time, he risked his life and death to come in. Sure enough, it wasn’t in vain. With this young girl, he wanted to see the Great Sage realm, and even step into the legendary Outer Realm in the future. Very good, very good …
At this moment, Xiao Chen naturally saw what Daoist Qingdeng was thinking. This person was smarter and more ruthless than the dozen people outside, but now, he was no match for him …
Fortunately, the Immortal Realm was about to collapse, and the other party could not find the exit, so he was given another chance.
Thinking about this, he said, “I think Senior is trapped in this Immortal Realm just like me. This Immortal Realm is about to collapse. If we can’t find an exit, I’m afraid Senior and I will be buried in this Immortal Realm.”
“En …”
Daoist Qingdeng nodded. At this moment, he naturally had some thoughts. After leaving the Immortal Realm, he could kill this brat and capture this girl.
But right now, there was still a use for this brat. After all, he might not be able to open the entrance to the Immortal Realm by himself. Even if he found it, it would be useless. He had to work together to probably open the entrance to the Immortal Realm.
…
For the next few days, Xiao Chen had been keeping a close watch on Daoist Qingdeng and was also waiting for an opportunity to escape. However, the other party was always by his side. He did not have any chance to escape with Xian’er. If he could not escape again, once he found a way out, it would be dangerous.
As for Daoist Qingdeng, he had always been like an immortal god these past few days, not revealing his ferocious expression in the slightest, because he didn’t need to be in a hurry right now, as long as he could think of a way to get out.
In the afternoon of that day, the three of them arrived in front of a flower valley. However, they saw that the emerald lake in the valley was like a mirror, flowers blooming like brocade, butterflies dancing, and many immortal spirits running through it.
“Wow …”
Xian’er revealed a yearning expression as she pulled Xiao Chen and said, “Big brother, look at that immortal valley. It’s so beautiful. Xian’er wants to go in and play …”
“En …”
Xiao Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Daoist Qingdeng. He turned around and whispered, “It’s getting late today. We still need to hurry, Xian’er, or else …”
“Wu …”
Xian’er immediately pursed his lips and looked at Daoist Qingdeng. He blinked his big eyes and innocently said, “Old Uncle, let’s go together …”
Daoist Azure Lamp stroked his white beard and glanced at the valley. He thought that the valley was peaceful and there was no other way out. He said, “No problem, you guys go. I won’t go.”
“Hehe!”
Xian’er chuckled and pulled Xiao Chen into the Immortal Valley. One moment, she ran this way, and the next, she stopped there. Her expression was extremely naive.
Daoist Qingdeng stood outside, stroking his white beard. With his ability, he naturally didn’t need to worry about Xiao Chen slipping away from his eyes.
After an incense stick of time passed, a ripple suddenly appeared in the lake in the flower valley, followed by an extremely powerful Formation Power!
“Shit!”
At this moment, Daoist Qingdeng immediately noticed the problem. However, when he flew into the valley, a Formation Power suddenly surged in, and with a “bang”, he was pushed back.
Inside the valley, Xian’er was hanging in the air. His eyes were closed and his hands formed seals. The Spiritual Energy on his body gushed out, activating an extremely powerful ancient formation in an instant!
At this moment, even Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. Right now, he was extremely sensitive to formations, but even he hadn’t discovered that there was an ancient formation hidden here. How did Xian’er discover it? And in an instant, it activated this ancient formation …
At this moment, Daoist Qingdeng’s expression changed outside the Flower Valley. Slowly, he said that Xiao Chen had not discovered the formation here. Even his cultivation at the Seven Realms had not discovered it. By the time he discovered it, it was already too late. Although this formation was not as terrifying as the formation outside the Immortal Realm, he could not enter it no matter what.
Inside the valley, Xian’er slowly fell back to the ground and smiled, “Big brother! He’s trapped outside by me and can’t enter!”
Xiao Chen slowly regained her senses. She thought to herself that Xian’er wanted to bring Daoist Qingdeng into the valley and trap him inside, but this person was not tricked. She had no choice but to seal the valley so that the other party would not be able to enter.
