As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1382
Chapter 1382 Kunlun
With Empress’s sudden arrival today, Yun Zhongjun had no choice but to return resentfully. At that time, the twilight shrouded the ruined peaks and cliffs under the dusk, and there was still a sense of panic.
The surroundings finally quieted down, but everyone still hadn’t left. At this moment, Murong Qi walked up with a smile on his face and said to the Great Empress, “Thank you, Great Empress. Today, we have resolved the urgent needs of our race.”
“No need.”
The Great Empress raised her hand slightly and stared at Xian’er for a while. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen who was unconscious on the ground and said, “Yudie, bring him back to Kunlun first. I still have to go somewhere else.”
Hearing that Empress was going somewhere else, Fairy Rain Butterfly was puzzled, but he didn’t dare to ask anymore. He cupped his hands and said, “Yes …”
“Oh … big brother, big brother, don’t take big brother away, don’t hurt big brother …”
Xian’er’s face was still stained with tears as she pounced on Xiao Chen’s chest. Fairy Shuiyue helped her up and said in a low voice, “Little sister, don’t worry. He will be fine …”
“Wu … big brother, big brother …”
How could Xian’er let someone bring Xiao Chen away and catch up with her all the way? However, the Murong Clan’s people came up and grabbed her, “Immortal Spirit, follow us back to the Profound Realm …”
“No, no … I don’t … I want to be with Big Brother, don’t take Big Brother away …”
Xian’er refused to comply and continued to chase after the Great Empress, Rain butterfly, and Shui Yue, but the surrounding Immortal World cultivators were still eyeing her covetously. How could the Murong clan be careless?
The old woman flew up and stopped her, “Xian’er, come back with us. Your brother will … come back.”
The Great Empress stopped again and looked at the people around her. She said indifferently, “The Penglai Spiritual Energy has dissipated, and the Waves of Wind in the Nether Sea will reunite again. Aren’t you planning to leave?”
Hearing those words, everyone seemed to suddenly wake up. Spiritual Energy in the Penglai Realm had already begun to return. At that time, there would be a calm wave on the Nether Sea. If they did not leave now, they would not be able to leave at that time. They did not have the ability to do as Empress and Yun Zhongjun did. Come, go, go.
This time, countless cultivators from the Immortal Dimension came for the 10,000 Year Rain Dew. Even if they didn’t come for the 10,000 Year Rain Dew, they would still come for the legendary Penglai Secret Treasure.
However, he didn’t expect such a big change to happen in the Penglai Realm this time. If he hadn’t obtained the Ten Thousand Year Rain Dew, he was still a little short of dying here. The gains weren’t worth the losses.
Cang Yunzi and the others couldn’t help but sigh. No matter what, they couldn’t think of this 10,000-year-old rain and dew anymore. After spending hundreds of years … it was only a big dream after all.
Everyone left in succession. On another mountain peak, Daoist Qingdeng had found a place to hide temporarily. Now that Xiao Chen had been brought to Kunlun by Empress, what about him? The restriction on his body hasn’t been undone yet, who knows when it will break out …
…
A month later, in the Jade Lake Immortal Realm, the towering Kunlun was covered in thousands of miles of ice and snow. However, in the Jade Lake Immortal Realm, there were hundreds of flowers that looked like brocade, golden platforms, and jade buildings. The fairy’s colorful clothes floated in the palace, shining like the clouds on the horizon.
This was where the Jade Lake’s Immortal Realm, Hundred Flowers Palace, and the Great Empress were located. There were twelve palaces in Kunlun, led by Hundred Flowers Palace. The Great Empress usually lived in the highest place in the Immortal Realm, called Lang Yuan.
Half a month ago, Xiao Chen had already been brought to Kunlun by Fairy Rain Butterfly. Normally, it would take at most two to three months for Fairy Rain Butterfly to travel from Penglai to Kunlun alone. However, with the Wind Imperial Talisman given by Empress, half a month was enough.
That day, Xiao Chen was seriously injured and fainted. He hadn’t woken up yet. However, his injuries had already healed, and his blood clothes had been changed.
In the daze of this day, Xiao Chen seemed to be half asleep and half awake. He vaguely heard the faint voice of a woman from ten thousand years ago, “I’m at the top of Kunlun, waiting for you for ten thousand years …”
“Who? Who’s talking …”
Xiao Chen suddenly woke up, only to discover that it was just a dream. In the dream, he smelled a faint fragrance of flowers that looked like orchids.
It turned out that he was lying in an exquisite little room, outside, there was a breeze, and flower petals rose in the air, floating from the windowsill to the bedside.
“What kind of place is this …”
Xiao Chen had not slept so comfortably for a long time. He only dreamed of those cold scenes in his dreams. He dreamed that on that day, he would bathe in blood and fight …
“Xian’er … Xian’er!”
Thinking back to the Penglai Realm that day, Xiao Chen’s entire body trembled and he suddenly woke up. At this moment, Fairy Shuiyue’s voice came from outside the room, “Are you … are you awake?”
Hearing Fairy Shuiyue’s voice outside, Xiao Chen immediately got out of bed and opened the door. He saw Fairy Shuiyue standing outside the door with a basin of hot water in her hand.
At this moment, Xiao Chen noticed that his clothes had been changed. He asked, “Did you change my clothes?”
“Ah …”
Fairy Shuiyue was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, “No, it’s not. On the way to Kunlun, Martial Uncle found an inn and asked the waiter to change it for you.”
“On the way to Kunlun” Xiao Chen frowned, looked outside, and muttered, “This is …”
“Of course this is Kunlun!”
Fairy Shuiyue looked at him with a puzzled expression. She thought to herself, “Has he really lost his mind after being unconscious for a month?” Or was it that he no longer remembered what had happened that day?
“Kunlun, Kunlun …”
Xiao Chen’s expression suddenly became a little wooden. He walked downstairs step by step. This was not the Kunlun of the mortal world, it was the Kunlun of the Immortal Dimension …
However, why was it different from Kunlun in his dreams?
“Uh …”
Suddenly, he felt a daze in his mind. It was as if a faint voice from a dream sounded in his ears, “I’m at the top of Kunlun, waiting for you for ten thousand years …”
“Hey! You’re not well yet, be careful!”
Seeing that his footsteps were slightly shaking, Fairy Shuiyue hurriedly put down the basin in her hand and walked over to support him, as if she was afraid that he would fall.
“Move aside …”
Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and pushed her away. His left hand was still covering his forehead as he walked out of the courtyard step by step.
Fairy Shuiyue’s expression was anxious. She was afraid that something would go wrong with him. The Great Empress came back to blame Martial Uncle.
“Where are you going?” At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside the courtyard. He was dressed in white like snow. It was Fairy Rain Butterfly.
“Where is the summit of Kunlun?”
“Peak of Kunlun?”
Seeing him suddenly ask about the summit of Kunlun, Fairy Rain Butterfly couldn’t help but frown and say, “The Suspension Garden was frozen ten thousand years ago. For some reason, it was completely frozen. Now, no one can go there.”
“Ten thousand years ago …”
Xiao Chen felt a burst of dizziness in his mind. Why was everything that had happened recently inexplicably related to ten thousand years ago? Ten thousand years ago, what exactly happened …
Why did those deja vu scenes appear in his mind when he and Wei Yang found the Hundred Flowers Profound Realm on the Kunlun Mountain back in the mortal world …
“Alright, your injuries haven’t healed yet. Let’s go back first.”
Fairy Rain Butterfly looked at him and said slowly. Xiao Chen came back to his senses and looked at her. “What? Do you want to lock me up again?”
“Fairy Rain Butterfly didn’t hurt you that day,” said Empress, who knew that he had been unconscious because of the previous incident. “You were already in a state of madness that day. It would be great if you were to fall into a coma.”
Actually, when Xiao Chen woke up just now, he already knew that his mood had already started to become chaotic. The Heavenly Book had a sign of self-reversal, and the Three Corpse Demons also had a faint sign of awakening. The Great Empress’ palm seemed to have injured him, but in fact, it had forced out blood from his body and suppressed his backlash.
From the looks of it, the other party was helping him, but for no reason, why would the other party help him? At this moment, Xiao Chen still frowned and asked, “Where is the Great Empress? Where is she?”
Fairy Rain Butterfly said, “Empress has gone somewhere else and hasn’t returned yet. If you want to see her, you can only wait for her to come back. As for Empress, he is still in seclusion in Langyuan and is unable to come out to see you. But don’t worry, your sister, she is very safe in the Profound Realm of Murong.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen finally felt relieved and returned to the courtyard. The rocks in the courtyard were ancient and the water in the pond was cold. Fairy Rain Butterfly followed him into the courtyard and said, “Kunlun is no match for Butterfly Gathering valley. You must not move around freely here.”
Xiao Chen didn’t want to say anything else. He took out a painting from his sleeve. When he saw this painting, Fairy Rain Butterfly, who had always been calm, had a change in expression. However, he quickly recovered. He said to Fairy Shuiyue behind him, “Shui Yue, go out first.”
“Yes, Martial Uncle” Seeing Martial Uncle’s mysterious appearance, Fairy Shuiyue didn’t want to ask any further, so she turned around and went outside.
After her footsteps gradually disappeared, Fairy Rain Butterfly turned around. At this moment, he looked at Xiao Chen’s expression and asked, “Where did you get this painting from?”
