As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1386
Chapter 1386 The Woman In Ice
“How about it? Do you still want to go up?”
The Great Empress looked up at the hanging garden. From the looks of it, it seemed that the peak of Kunlun was right in front of her, but in reality, it still had a long way to go.
“Since you’ve already come, I plan to go up and take a look.”
Xiao Chen looked at the peak of the snow storm. The ice was covered in layers of ice. It was impossible for him to break through the ten thousand year ice. No matter how powerful his divine ability was, it was still difficult to break through the ten thousand year ice. He could only think of a way to see if he could get up.
“Then you should be blessed. It’s not as simple as you see. As soon as you get close, there will be a snowstorm. These snowstorms are harder to deal with than you think.”
“Many thanks to the Great Empress for reminding me.”
Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. With a swipe of his finger, he gathered a Genuine energy to protect himself. Then, he walked up step by step.
Empress didn’t go up from below, but he couldn’t help but frown when he saw how difficult it was for him to move forward.
Back then, she had tried to go up there several times, but unfortunately, she was unable to succeed in the end. In these tens of thousands of years, no one had ever succeeded in going up there. At least, what she knew was that.
After Xiao Chen walked a few kilometers upwards, a snowstorm swept over. This snowstorm was no ordinary snowstorm, and even a Saint realm expert would find it hard to endure.
He knew how powerful it was, so he didn’t dare to resist it head-on. When the snow storm covered the sky, he immediately spread out his body and avoided the attack of the blizzard.
This might seem easy, but it was actually filled with danger. Otherwise, if it was really that easy, wouldn’t everyone have already gone up in the past ten thousand years?
Two hours passed like this. Under the snowstorm, Xiao Chen had only walked a few miles. There were many restrictions on it, making it difficult for him to control his sword. Even Ling Xian Step was unable to execute them. Every time he moved a little faster, he would encounter a snowstorm to stop him.
During these two hours, Empress had been watching from below. Every time she saw Xiao Chen in danger, she would think in her heart why this young man was so different.
Just like this, when twilight approached, Xiao Chen experienced a few dangers and finally arrived at a place not far below the hanging garden. The snow here was already extremely heavy, and it was difficult for him to continue forward.
Sure enough, as the Great Empress had said, ten thousand years ago, the Garden of Suspension was frozen. From now on, no one could go up. Even he could not go up.
If he wanted to forcefully go up, there was a high possibility that he would encounter danger. After weighing it over and over again, he decided not to take this risk. After all, coming to the summit of Kunlun was not his main purpose. It was already extremely difficult for him to be able to reach the bottom of the Suspension Garden.
At this moment, he could clearly see that there were pavilions, green mountains, immortal islands, birds and beasts, waterfalls and cliffs within the ice layer that had been frozen for tens of thousands of years …
Could it be that the faint voice of the woman he heard really came from within the ten thousand year ice seal? Why is it that only he can hear …
However, he clearly felt that the woman was not calling him, and the person she was waiting for was not him.
Then, who exactly is she …
“It’s dangerous up there. If you can’t go up, then come down!”
At this moment, the Great Empress’ divine sense came from behind her. Xiao Chen focused and sent back a divine sense, “No problem. If there is any danger, I will immediately come down and observe the surroundings first …”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately calmed his mind and closed his eyes. He used his divine sense to probe through the layers of ice.
Back when he was still in the mortal world, it was the first time he had used his divine sense to pry into the situation in Ancient Immortal Realm. It was also the first time he had heard that distant voice.
Now that he had arrived at the summit of Kunlun, could he use his divine sense to find the person who spoke to him?
At this moment, when Empress saw that he was motionless, he naturally knew that he was using his divine sense to explore the 10,000-year-old ice seal. At this moment, he could not be disturbed.
However, at that time, she had also tried to use her divine sense to explore the ice, but in the end, she did not discover anything.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen’s divine sense continued to probe forward. He passed through this layer of ice and looked at everything in it. It was as if he had also crossed the 10,000-year-old river and returned to 10,000 years ago …
It had been frozen for tens of thousands of years and nothing had changed. There was even a flower on the edge of the cliff that was about to bloom. When the first ray of sunlight shone in the morning, it was frozen before it could bloom …
“It’s you. Are you back?”
At this moment, a faint female voice suddenly entered his divine sense.
Xiao Chen suddenly trembled. Sure enough, it was the voice of the woman he heard! Sure enough, within this ten thousand year ice seal …
At that moment, he followed the direction of the voice and searched. His divine sense stretched out for thousands of kilometers. Finally, he saw a blurry figure amidst the layers of ice.
Even though it was just a blurry figure, it wasn’t hard to tell that she was an extremely beautiful woman …
Xiao Chen tried his best to push his divine sense closer, but it seemed to be hindered by something. No matter how hard his divine sense advanced, he couldn’t see the woman’s appearance clearly.
Who was she? Why was she frozen here for ten thousand years, and who was it that froze her here …
“It’s you. Are you back?”
Her voice was clear, as if it was ringing in his ears. However, Xiao Chen could not see her appearance clearly. No matter how hard he tried, his divine sense would no longer be able to advance an inch.
“Ah Tian, are you finally back …”
At this moment, the woman in the ice suddenly opened her eyes. Xiao Chen was suddenly shocked. She was still alive, but why did she call him “Ah Tian” …
“Uh!”
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a sharp pain in his brain. His divine sense dissipated in an instant. His entire body seemed to have been heavily injured, and his vision turned pitch black.
At this moment, the snowstorm suddenly whistled towards him, but he didn’t move at all, as if he had lost his soul.
“Be careful!”
Seeing the blizzard sweeping towards him, he did not move at all. The Great Empress instantly flew up. After all, this avatar had the cultivation of the Eight Realms. With a wave of her jade hand, a strong palm force gushed out and instantly dispersed the blizzard. Then, she brought Xiao Chen and quickly flew down.
After a long time, Xiao Chen slowly woke up. His mind was still buzzing. He thought about the last moment before his divine sense dissipated. In that instant, he saw the woman in the ice open her eyes. Could it be that she had come to life?
Ten thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago …
At this moment, he raised his head again and looked at the icy summit of Kunlun. Inside this layer of ice, there was still a person, a person from ten thousand years ago …
“What exactly did you see?” Seeing that he was in a trance, the Great Empress frowned and asked.
At that time, the curtain of night fell. The outline of the mountain within the layer of ice had already become faint. Xiao Chen finally regained his senses. He looked up and said, “Inside, I saw a woman who had been frozen for tens of thousands of years.”
