As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1359
Chapter 1359 Below The Abyss
After another three days, Xian’er still had a lively nature. She enjoyed playing with the Immortal Deer Rabbit in the Immortal Valley all day, as if she had forgotten about that day.
But in these three days, every time Xiao Chen thought of the Sly Valley Abyss that day, he felt a little uneasy. This feeling was actually similar to when he was a child in Ning Village. Ever since he went to the back mountain, he had nightmares all night long.
The scene of the abyss often appeared in his mind, especially when he was meditating on the profound. He even felt as if he was going to the bottom of the abyss. It was enveloped in darkness and coldness. However, when he opened his eyes, it was still the Immortal Valley in front of him. Xian’er’s laughter could be heard from afar, and the sunlight became bright.
Every time this happened, cold sweat would start to form on his back.
“Big brother, big brother …”
At this moment, Xian’er’s laughter could be heard from afar. She jumped over and blinked her large, watery eyes. Seeing that Xiao Chen was a little lost, she muttered, “What’s wrong with big brother? Are you worried about the bad guy outside?”
Just as she finished speaking, a wave of shock suddenly came from outside, causing the Immortal Deer Rabbits in the Immortal Valley to scatter and flee in all directions.
“It’s the bad guy outside” Xian’er was also shocked and hid behind Xiao Chen.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Chen stood up, his eyebrows furrowed as he stared in the direction outside the valley. He thought to himself, “A few days have passed. Is Daoist Qingdeng finally unable to sit outside?” Counting the time, those cultivators from the Immortal Dimension outside should have barged in …
Right at this moment, Daoist Qingdeng’s deep voice suddenly came from outside the valley, “It’s been a few days. Could it be that little friend still isn’t planning to come out? When those people outside come in, I’m afraid that little friend won’t be able to leave even if he wants to …”
“Brother, can he enter?”
Xian’er looked nervously outside. She seemed to have forgotten that this was the formation she had activated. As long as the spirit of the formation hadn’t completely dissipated, Daoist Qingdeng wouldn’t be able to enter no matter how capable he was.
“Don’t worry, he’s still unable to enter.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was fixed, but he knew that this was not the way. The spirit of the formation outside was getting weaker and weaker, and that person would come in sooner or later …
However, although there was plenty of spiritual energy in this valley, it was unable to break through the last obstacle and allow him to step into the Saint realm. What should he do now? Once that person barges in, he will definitely capture Xian’er this time …
The back valley …
At this moment, the only thing Xiao Chen could think of was the Dark Abyss behind the Immortal Valley. Over the past few days, that Dark Abyss had always made him uneasy, and there was even an extremely dangerous aura emanating from it …
However, apart from these, there was another feeling that he could not say. In short, he had to go down to see if it was a blessing or a curse, and it was still unknown whether it was a blessing or a curse.
“Big brother, are you going to that terrifying place again …” Xian’er seemed to have seen through his thoughts and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chen slowly regained his senses and gently stroked her face, “Xian’er, are you afraid?”
“Mm-hmm …”
Xian’er nodded her head and frowned, “Xian’er is scared. Brother, don’t go to that place, okay? Xian’er saw it in her dream, saw it …”
As she spoke, her voice gradually choked. Seeing that tears were about to fall, Xiao Chen put her on his shoulder and gently patted her back. “Xian’er, don’t be afraid, it’s fine …”
“Oh … but Xian’er, I’m really scared. I’m really scared of that place. Brother, let’s go out, okay? We’re not scared of that bad guy. Xian’er is actually not scared of him at all. Let’s go out now, okay?”
However, her eyes were red, and tears were still hanging on her face. Anyone who looked at her like this would feel heartache.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid. It’s fine …”
Xiao Chen gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, but he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Why was Xian’er so afraid of that place? Could it also have something to do with ten thousand years ago …
No, he had to go down there to take a look. When he was young, he was still in Ning Village. He often had some terrible nightmares, and those Immortal Demon Gods and Buddhas who had passed away ten thousand years ago seemed to be following him all the time.
“Oh … Brother, do you have to go there?”
Xian’er wiped her eyes and sniffed. Seeing that Xiao Chen had already made up her mind, she sobbed and said, “Then, Xian’er is not afraid … Xian’er will go with her brother.”
“No.”
Xiao Chen shook his head. He thought to himself that she should stay in this Immortal Valley because she was so afraid of that place.
Furthermore, he could feel an ancient Gas of Gods and Demons condensing beneath the abyss. Even though he had Three Corpse Demon, Xian’er was the purest ancient immortal spirit. How could he be tainted by Gas of Gods and Demons?
“Xian’er, be obedient. Stay here. Big brother will be back soon, okay?”
“Oh … but Xian’er is afraid, afraid that after brother leaves, he won’t come back again …”
“Idiot, how could it be?”
Xiao Chen gently stroked her face. The warm sunlight shone on his body, and it was so bright and flawless.
Everyone said that he was the cold and heartless Lord of Diabolism, but in front of this young girl, he was as gentle as water.
It turned out that no matter how cold a person was, he still had a tender side. Moreover, no matter how many years passed, how could he really erase the original tenderness in his chest?
Swords are cold swords, hearts are cold hearts, cold swords are cold hearts … How could they be heartless?
…
Beneath the abyss, devil energy surged. Xiao Chen arranged for Xian’er to be in the Immortal Valley. Afterwards, he arrived at the top of the abyss alone.
This place was like a place abandoned by the gods. Not even the sunlight could shine on this place. Cold, lonely, and deathly energy had become everything here.
There was no life here. Slow down, those immortal beasts couldn’t even see a single flower or grass. Only the rugged rocks and the countless bones buried beneath them.
As soon as Xiao Chen descended, he felt a bone-chilling chill, as if it came from the depths of the earth that could not see the sun. Soon after, shrill cries of ghosts could be heard in his ears. However, he was certain that the sound of ghosts crying in the sky had disappeared again. It turned out to be an illusion.
Everything was like the nightmare of his childhood, surrounding him like a thick fog that could not be dispersed.
His footsteps became slow and heavy. He stepped on the cold and gloomy bottom of the abyss, and there was only deathly silence, endlessly spreading forward.
“Zheng!”
With a clear howl of the sword, there was finally a bit of light in the dark abyss. Xiao Chen took out the Heavenly Sword. The Heavenly Sword was a famous ancient sword that could shatter evil energy.
Just like that, after walking forward for an unknown amount of time, the front was still boundless. Xiao Chen even suspected that the bones beneath his feet were the bones that covered the ground, the bones of those Immortal Devil Gods and Buddhas …
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
The Gas of Gods and Demons in front of him was getting heavier and heavier, and at this moment, phantoms suddenly appeared on both sides of the abyss …
These were actually Immortal Devil Divine Buddhas from ten thousand years ago!
However, it was already an afterimage, without any aura. It was just an afterimage left here.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression became more and more serious, because he saw that the afterimages of these Fiendgods were also staring at him, as if they could see him.
In the next instant, the afterimages of the gods and devils at the bottom of the abyss actually bowed towards him, as if they were welcoming his return.
