As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1358
Chapter 1358 Immortal Valley Paradox Abyss
Outside the valley, Daoist Blue Lantern was blocked by the formation and was unable to enter. However, he quickly calmed down. He flicked his sleeve and sat at the entrance of the valley. He did not speak nor make any noise. He just quietly closed his eyes, as if he was waiting for Formation Power to disperse.
If it was that group of cultivators from the Immortal World outside, they would definitely make a fuss at this moment, just like when Xiao Chen had schemed against them and entered the Immortal World, threatening them with words.
But at this moment, Daoist Qingdeng seemed to be indifferent. The more this happened, the colder it felt like an abyss.
Xiao Chen knew that although the formation in the valley was powerful, it had been ten thousand years. Formation Power was no longer as strong as before. It was unknown how long it could last. Once Formation Power ran out, Daoist Qingdeng would definitely barge in.
What could he do before the array Spiritual Energy was exhausted? Get Xian’er out of here? However, there was no way to escape from here.
“Xian’er, let’s go back.”
Anyway, Xiao Chen didn’t want to see Daoist Qingdeng sitting at the entrance of the valley right now, so he led Xian’er to the back of the valley.
He never imagined that although there was no way out of this valley, behind it was another Immortal Realm. The lake in the valley was as green as a mirror, and the ground was covered with colorful flowers. There were also immortal trees that were covered with orange-red and bright-purple immortal fruits.
More importantly, this place seemed to condense the spirits of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy here was even more abundant than the outside world. It was truly unimaginable that there would be such a dense amount of immortal spiritual energy condensed here.
It turned out that this ancient array was actually a spirit gathering array. Not only could it seal off the entire Immortal Valley, it could also condense the spiritual energy of the entire Immortal Realm.
Previously, the spiritual energy in the Immortal Realm had been gathered at the Jade Lake, but now that the Jade Lake no longer condensed spiritual energy, the spiritual energy slowly condensed here.
No wonder Daoist Qingdeng didn’t notice that there was so much spiritual energy condensing behind the valley. Even Xiao Chen didn’t notice it just now. If it wasn’t for him coming over now, he probably wouldn’t have noticed that this place was actually such a blessed place.
“Big brother, don’t be afraid. He can’t get in that bad guy anymore.”
Xian’er’s eyes were wide open, looking as innocent as ever, as if he wasn’t worried about Daoist Qingdeng outside at all.
However, Xiao Chen was different. Although Daoist Qingdeng could not enter now, the array formation in the Immortal Valley had been there for too long. When Spiritual Energy finally dissipated, Daoist Qingdeng would be unscrupulous.
Now, he had to find a way to deal with Daoist Qingdeng and escape before the Immortal Realm collapsed.
But now, Daoist Qingdeng was standing guard outside. How could he get out?
This person’s cultivation is too high. With his strength alone, it is impossible to deal with him. Unless he uses Dugu Tianxia’s Fiendgod Body, if he uses Dugu Tianxia’s Fiendgod Body …
“Big brother, why aren’t you talking …” Xian’er saw that he didn’t speak and gently tugged at his sleeve. She pouted and looked at him motionlessly.
“Xian’er, listen to me.”
Xiao Chen came back to his senses and squatted down. He gently caressed her face and said, “The path outside is very high. Big brother can’t beat him now.”
“Oh …”
Xian’er pouted and laughed, “It doesn’t matter! Let’s not go out, he won’t be able to get in anyway …”
Xiao Chen shook his head. He thought to himself that although the formations in the valley were powerful, Spiritual Energy would eventually run out of them. At that time, Daoist Qingdeng would no longer be afraid of them.
Moreover, this was not the way to go on. Sooner or later, the group of cultivators outside the Immortal Dimension would also barge in. When the group of cultivators outside barged in, the situation would be even worse.
“Oh … is big brother still worried?”
“It’s fine.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at her, “Xian’er, no matter what … I will protect you and won’t let anyone hurt you.”
“En!”
Xian’er nodded her head forcefully. The smile on her face was like a hundred flowers in the sunshine at such a time. It was flawless and brilliant.
“Let’s go take a look around.”
Xiao Chen led her into the depths of the valley. This place was very rich in spiritual energy. He had to think of a way to use this spiritual energy to deal with Daoist Qingdeng outside.
This valley wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. Until dusk fell, the two of them still hadn’t made it through, and they didn’t know what was inside the valley.
The spiritual energy in the vicinity was already very dense. Xiao Chen stopped and suddenly thought, if he could absorb the spiritual energy here and seize the good fortune of the world, would he be able to break through his cultivation barrier and step into the Sage realm?
If he stepped into the Saint realm, his cultivation would no longer be limited. With the Undying Concept and the Heavenly Book Technique, he was confident that he could deal with Daoist Qingdeng.
“Sage realm …”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze became somewhat solemn. Only by stepping into the Saint realm would he be able to deal with Daoist Qingdeng. He could deal with the group of cultivators outside. Although Dugu Tianxia’s Fiendgod Body was powerful, it was not his strength. Furthermore, it was limited everywhere.
The realm of the strong, what is the realm of the strong? It’s definitely not just this Saint realm …
At this moment, he remembered that time. In Butterfly Gathering valley, the strength of his punch was completely beyond his current strength.
That time, he couldn’t explain why that punch was so powerful. If he could still use that kind of strength, he believed that a punch would be enough to turn Daoist Qingdeng into meat paste.
“Big brother, do you have a way to deal with that bad guy outside?”
Seeing that he hadn’t spoken for a long time, Xian’er blinked her big eyes and looked at him motionlessly. After a while, Xiao Chen came to his senses and gently stroked her face. “Xian’er, I might have to practice here for the next few days. I can’t play with you anymore.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Xian’er was very sensible and kept nodding, “Big brother, don’t worry. Xian’er will definitely not disturb big brother. I’ll go find Xiaolu and Little Squirrel to play with.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded and looked into the depths of the valley. There was a layer of dense fog in the depths of the valley. It seemed impossible to pass through there, and he didn’t know what was inside. However, for a moment, he seemed to have sensed something. He said, “Also, Xian’er, don’t go behind the valley by yourself during this period of time.”
“Mm-hmm, don’t worry, brother. Xian’er is the most obedient!”
…
Over the next three days, there was no movement outside. Xiao Chen was also cultivating in the valley. However, no matter how dense the spiritual energy in the valley was, he did not seem to have broken through at all. He had even vaguely seen the mysteries of the Saint realm before, but he was no longer able to see those mysteries at this moment.
“How could this be …”
After several attempts, he slowly stopped. In fact, it was no wonder. Even though a large amount of Spiritual Qi had poured into the heavens and the earth, becoming a Saint was much easier than before, it was still a watershed after all. How could it be that it was so easy to step into the Immortal Dimension?
It was dusk again. Xian’er was enjoying herself with the little Immortal Deer rabbits in the distance. Xiao Chen wanted to get up, but at this moment, he suddenly felt an unusual aura. There was even an unknown danger. This aura seemed to come from the fog behind the valley!
Three days ago, he noticed that although he had been meditating these past few days, he still maintained his vigilance. In that instant just now, that aura …
“Big brother, big brother! What’s wrong with you?”
At this time, Xian’er jumped over and saw him staring motionlessly at the fog behind the valley. She said, “Xian’er, listen to my brother. I haven’t been there these past few days.”
“En …”
Xiao Chen nodded. He turned around and gently stroked her hair. Then, he looked towards the fog. In fact, he had been feeling somewhat uneasy these past few days. Especially when he was meditating, he felt that he was about to peek at the mysteries of the Saint realm. However, there seemed to be something in the depths of the fog that suddenly disturbed his mind at this moment.
No … No matter what, he had to go over and see what was there.
“Brother, should we go take a look?”
“En … Xian’er, you must follow me closely later. Don’t get separated.”
“Mm-hmm! Brother, don’t worry, Xian’er is amazing. Those formations won’t be difficult for Xian’er …”
…
A moment later, Xiao Chen brought her to the fog. The fog was not a restriction, and there was no formation inside. However, it was not clear why it had condensed here.
When it was almost dark, the two of them passed through this layer of mist, and even Xiao Chen was stunned by the scene in front of them.
Behind this Immortal Valley, there was actually such a strange abyss!
“Big brother, Xian’er, Xian’er is a little scared …”
Looking at the strange abyss in front of her, Xian’er’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Below the abyss, it was pitch black. There was no sunlight, no flowers or plants, and there were no Immortal Deer Rabbits. There was only cold and deathly silence.
This abyss was like a place abandoned by the ancient gods. It was a place where sunlight could not reach. If there was an Immortal Valley outside, then this place would be like a demon abyss.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid …”
Xiao Chen tightened her hand and stared at the abyss below. She thought to herself, “This is Penglai Fairyland. Moreover, the Immortal Valley outside is so rich in spiritual energy. But behind the valley, how could it be such a terrifying demon abyss?”
What kind of place is this …
At this moment, he could feel the aura coming from the bottom of the abyss, and it even carried a warning of danger. Even he couldn’t help but feel a chill all over his body.
“Oh … Xian’er is scared. Brother, let’s go back quickly, okay? Xian’er doesn’t want to come to this place. Xian’er is scared down there …”
“Alright, let’s go back. Xian’er, don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Chen picked her up and looked down at the abyss. He then turned around and headed back. It was almost dark now. The aura below was too dangerous. He didn’t know what was below, so he shouldn’t rashly go down.
