As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1368
Chapter 1368 Spiritual Energy Reflux
Feeling the sudden surge of killing intent from Daoist Qingdeng, the two middle-aged cultivators did not hesitate at all. They instantly activated Xianyuan, causing the entire valley to erupt with violent winds.
“Martial Uncle …”
Seeing this, the two old men behind immediately rushed forward. The four of them attacked Daoist Qingdeng with the sharpest methods.
“Hmph.”
Facing the fierce attacks of the four of them, Daoist Qingdeng was not in a state of chaos. Although his magic power had been greatly exhausted these past few days and he had yet to fully recover, he still had a cultivation of the Seven Realms. How could these four Six Realms cultivators compare to him?
With a sweep of his whisk, he instantly condensed seventy percent of the Genuine energy and broke through the four men’s siege. With a whisk, he struck towards the white-robed middle-aged man with the highest cultivation.
Clang!
Whisk Chen collided with a purple-green divine sword in the white-robed middle-aged man’s hand, causing a deafening crisp sound. Even though it was only 70% strength, it caused the white-robed middle-aged man’s entire body to tremble. His wrist was in extreme pain, and he kept retreating. He couldn’t even hold the sword in his hand and almost flew out.
The other red-robed middle-aged man saw this and his eyes revealed a cold killing intent. Without saying anything else, his fierce palm shot out like lightning, striking straight at Daoist Qingdeng’s vital point!
Unexpectedly, Daoist Qingdeng’s whisk swept back, causing a violent wind to rise. Before the red-robed middle-aged man’s palm could reach, he felt the pressure of Mount Tai. Before he could dodge, he felt a pain in his chest. He was swept back by the whisk. If it wasn’t for the precious armor protecting him, he would have been heavily injured.
…
Inside the Flower Valley, Xian’er jumped up and down, gathering flowers beside the spring water. Suddenly, she heard the sounds of fighting coming from outside. Her face was slightly shocked, and the flowers in her hands also fell down.
“Xian’er, it’s fine.” Xiao Chen slowly arrived in front of her. He bent down to pick up the flowers that she had dropped on the ground and gently put them back into her hand.
“Big brother, are they fighting outside?” Xian’er looked a little scared. Perhaps she had been frightened these past few days, but there were still some shadows in her heart that hadn’t dissipated yet.
“They won’t fight for a while. Xian’er is not afraid.”
Xiao Chen squatted down and gently stroked her face. “With Big Brother here, no one can hurt Xian’er. Don’t be afraid …” he said.
“Mm-hmm!”
Xian’er nodded and smiled. She took the flowers and ran into the Flower Valley. After about an incense stick, the noise outside gradually lessened. In the end, there was no sound.
“Brother, look!”
Xian’er ran over with another wreath in her hand. Her innocent appearance was quite adorable. Xiao Chen gently put the wreath on her head and said, “Xian’er, let’s go out.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Xian’er’s appearance was very simple and cute. She held his hand and hummed a tune as she jumped out of Flower Valley.
However, when she arrived near the valley entrance, the scene in front of her startled her and buried her head in Xiao Chen’s chest.
Daoist Qingdeng’s hands were covered in blood. The whisk was also stained with blood. The flowers and grass nearby were all splashed with blood. On the ground, there were four extremely terrifying corpses lying in a crooked state. Even their heads were shattered, and blood splashed all over the ground. It was the four people from earlier. Their bodies had fallen here, and their primordial spirits had probably escaped.
“Big brother …”
Xian’er was so scared that her entire body trembled. She was originally a Celestial Spirit of Heaven and Earth. She had never seen such a terrifying bloody scene before. Once she was tainted by these bloody and dirty things, she would probably leave a shadow in her heart. In the future, she might create a demonic barrier.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid …”
Xiao Chen gently hugged her and looked at Daoist Qingdeng, who was not far away. His two cold gazes instantly caused his entire body to tremble, as if he was saying why he didn’t clean up this place.
“Hug, I’m sorry …”
Daoist Qingdeng’s body trembled slightly, and he immediately reacted. He swept the dust and swept the four corpses into a pile of grass.
Xiao Chen glanced at him, ignoring him and didn’t say anything else. He picked up Xian’er, kicked her with both feet, and flew out of the valley.
Looking at his gradually disappearing figure, Daoist Qingdeng suddenly felt a chill rising from behind him. At that moment, he seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff. He was cautious and didn’t dare to say anything else. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would attract a calamity of death.
He could tell that if this young man in front of him was unfavorable to him, he might not be able to do anything in the end. Just like when he snatched his opponent’s Ding Hai Zhu at sea, the opponent did not retaliate against him for it.
But just now, because he hadn’t disposed of the four corpses, he had frightened the little immortal spirit. At that moment, he could clearly feel the cold killing intent on the other party’s body.
This feeling of treading on thin ice made his heart tremble. Since that was the case, he would never dare to be careless again.
…
In front of him was a flower forest. The ground was full of colors, and the petals in the air were also swirling. Xiao Chen led Xian’er into the forest. At this moment, tears could still be seen hanging from the corners of her eyes.
“Xian’er.”
“En … big brother.” Xian’er pouted her lips. She looked pretty. Xiao Chen gently stroked her face, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said, “It’s fine, don’t be afraid …”
“Wu … why did you kill those people …”
“They … are all bad people.”
Xiao Chen gently stroked her hair that was messed up by the wind, unable to say anything like, “If we don’t kill those people, those people will come and kill us.”
Xian’er was the purest Immortal Spirit in the world. He didn’t want all the muddy things in the world to contaminate her heart. What he was most worried about now was that the people outside would come in and discover Xian’er on Spiritual Energy. Even if he guessed it, he could guess that she was formed from the essence of the spiritual energy of the world and that the 10,000-year-old rain was in her body.
And the last thing he wanted to see was Xian’er seeing him kill decisively, seeing his hands stained with blood, walking out on a bloody path …
“Big brother, I’m not afraid …”
Xian’er gently leaned her head against his shoulder and whispered, “Xian’er knows that those people are bad people. Big brother wants to protect Xian’er …”
“En …”
Xiao Chen gently stroked her hair. At this moment, a figure flew in from outside. It was Daoist Qingdeng who followed.
“Little, little friend …”
Until now, Daoist Qingdeng was still a little panicked. Perhaps it was because the aura on Xiao Chen’s body made people feel cold and frightened. That was why he was like this.
Xiao Chen slowly stood up and looked at him. A single glance caused his entire body to tremble, as if he was saying, “I don’t want to do this again.”
“Little, little friend, don’t worry … I definitely won’t.”
Daoist Qingdeng was terrified. He lowered his head and looked at Xian’er again. For some reason, there was an inexplicable fear in his heart. He was afraid that there would be a bloody storm in the Immortal Dimension …
The Myriad Year Immortal Spirit appeared in the world, gathering the spiritual energy essence of heaven and earth, and even fusing with the rain and dew of the Myriad Year Immortal Realm. It was unknown how many people would notice this, nor how many would covet it secretly. The phenomenon on that day was so obvious, perhaps even someone from Tomb of Gods and Demons had noticed it …
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen stopped talking and led Xian’er to the front of the Flower Forest. Next, he had to think of a way to leave this place as soon as possible. Not to mention that the Immortal Realm was very likely to collapse. Just the group of cultivators outside were also very difficult to deal with. He did not want to be decisive in front of Xian’er.
A few days later, the three of them had already arrived at an unknown location, but they were unable to find the exit to the Immortal Realm. Could it be that there was only the entrance to the Immortal Realm?
In the past few days, there had been unusual tremors from the Immortal Realm, and more and more xiuzhe had probably poured in from outside.
Those people only wanted to find some benefits in the Immortal Dimension, but they didn’t know that such an influx would only make the Immortal Dimension more unstable, cause chaos in Spiritual Energy, and eventually collapse. Anyone who couldn’t escape would be buried inside.
At noon on this day, Xiao Chen brought Xian’er to an azure peak. He used all his divine sense, but he still couldn’t find the exit. Instead, there was a sudden shock that almost caused the peak to collapse.
“Xian’er, don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Chen picked Xian’er up and flew into the distance. After a long time, the shock slowly stopped. The nearby spiritual energy began to slowly flow towards the entrance.
“Little friend … look!”
Daoist Qingdeng pointed at the spiritual energy gathered on the distant mountain peak. He saw that the spiritual energy was actually flowing towards the entrance.
“Spiritual Energy has returned. Looks like there’s only one entrance to the entire Immortal Dimension.”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Previously, all of Ancient Immortal Realm’s spiritual energy had gathered in Penglai Fairyland. Now that the spiritual energy had returned, it meant that the Immortal Realm was very likely to collapse. Once all of the spiritual energy had flowed away, this place would definitely collapse.
“Little friend … we need to leave immediately. Otherwise, if this place collapses …”
Daoist Qingdeng’s face was pale. He hadn’t been so nervous before, but now that he saw Spiritual Energy return, he became extremely nervous. Perhaps it was because he had experienced similar things in the past, but now that he recalled it, he was still scared.
It was not as if Xiao Chen had never experienced such a thing, whether it was the recent collapse of Feng Yuntian or the adventures he had had with Luo Die in Tomb of Gods and Demons a long time ago.
This was especially true of Tomb of Gods and Demons, who had wandered through the Void Realm for more than half a year. When he recalled that feeling of fear, it was still like a nightmare lingering in his heart, and he would always feel a chill lingering in his body.
Even though his cultivation and soul were not comparable to the past, if he was forced into the void chaos due to the collapse of the Immortal Realm, he might not be as lucky as last time.
“Little friend, look … what should we do now?”
Daoist Qingdeng was a little uneasy. If it was him, he could go back alone. Those people outside couldn’t do anything to him. But now that he was with Xiao Chen and this Myriad Year Immortal, if he ran into those people, something big would definitely happen.
Of course, Xiao Chen understood this clearly. Regardless of whether it was for the rain or anything else in the Immortal Dew Realm, the dozen or so people outside would not let him off.
Especially now that Xian’er was with him, those people would definitely have ideas for Xian’er. Furthermore, it wasn’t just those dozen people. He couldn’t even imagine how many Immortal World cultivators had gathered outside this time.
“Which of them has the highest cultivation?” Xiao Chen looked outside and asked. Daoist Qingdeng thought for a moment and said, “It should be Master Cang Yunzi …”
“Cang Yunzi?”
“Mm … that’s the person who asked little friend to draw a strand of his own soul essence.”
“So it’s him.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed and he immediately thought of Old man Qingyi. That person’s cultivation was indeed very high, definitely not below Daoist Qingdeng’s.
