As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1392
Chapter 1392 Nether Void Palace
Over the next half month, Xiao Chen brought Xian’er around Xuanzhou. This Ancient Immortal Realm was very similar to the human world. Apart from those profound Immortal World cultivators, there were also many Immortal World descendants living in Ancient Immortal Realm.
These descendants of the Immortal Dimension generally lived a long life and were free from diseases. However, not everyone was proficient in magic. In fact, they were not much different from mortals in the mortal world.
Therefore, in Ancient Immortal Realm, there were many ancient cities like Suzhou and Qingzhou. Although there were cultivators from the Immortal Dimension, most of them were just ordinary descendants of the Immortal Dimension.
This place was the same as the mortal world. Every night, tens of thousands of lights lit up in the city, reflecting the river. The lights were dazzling, as if a heavenly river was hanging upside down.
On the streets, there were people who sold and made candy, as well as many teenagers and young girls who were setting up lanterns by the river. It was so lively. When Xian’er first came out, she seemed to be filled with a sense of novelty about everything in this world.
“Big brother, big brother … look!”
Xian’er was wearing a mask as she ran over with two strings of sugar gourds in her hands. An old uncle chased after her and said, “Hey, girl, I haven’t paid for the sugar gourds yet …”
“Oh … Didn’t you tell me to take it if you wanted to?”
“You, you girl …”
Xiao Chen shook his head from the side and paid the old uncle. He gently wiped the syrup off the corner of her mouth and said, “Xian’er, remember, you can’t casually take other people’s things outside. You have to give money before you can take it.”
“Oh …”
Xian’er pouted and pointed at the mask on her face. “Then this mask was given to me by a little sister over there. Do you want to give me money?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “That elder sister gave you a mask, so you gave her a bunch of sugar gourds.”
“En …”
Xian’er rubbed her head and thought for a moment, then understood. She smiled and said, “Xian’er knows. Big sister will give me a mask, and I will give big sister a sugar gourd. Then big sister and I will be good friends!”
Xiao Chen nodded and said, “That’s right, that’s right.”
“Mm-hmm, then I’ll send sugar gourd to elder sister …”
Xian’er was lively and cute. As she spoke, she ran across the street again. Although she did not eat fireworks, she liked this world as much as Wei Yang did. Xiao Chen slowly followed behind. It turned out that in Ancient Immortal Realm, where there were endless battles, there was also such tranquility, as if it was a land of mortals.
However, more than half a month had passed. Daoist Qingdeng and Daoist Xie had already brought people to the vicinity of Nether Void Heaven, right? It’s time for him to pass …
…
Heaven of Nether Void, these past two months have been filled with flames of war. Killing can be seen everywhere. Recently, many of the heavenly paradises that were originally filled with Spiritual Qi have been destroyed.
“A few hundred miles ahead, we’ll reach the Void Sky, right?”
At this moment, in a valley, there were only a few dozen figures dressed up. It was precisely Daoist Qingdeng and his group. After twenty days, they finally managed to reach the vicinity of the Nether Void Sky with great difficulty. The spiritual energy in front of them was getting denser and denser, but the killing intent was also getting heavier and denser.
If Heaven of Nether Void was the place with the most abundant Spiritual Qi in the entire Profound Continent, then the “Secluded Void Heaven” that Yan Wen had previously occupied was the place with the most Spiritual Qi in the entire 10,000 feet Immortal Domain of Heaven of Nether Void. If he wanted to take down Heaven of Nether Void, he had to take down the Secluded Void Heaven.
“Hehe, this job isn’t simple …”
Daoist Xie smiled and looked at the place where the baleful aura soared into the sky. He thought that someone must have set up a killing array in front of him. Until today, countless people had died inside. If they wanted to go to the Nether Void Heaven, they had to break through the killing array and at the same time, they had to prevent being attacked and killed by others.
“Let’s go.”
Daoist Qingdeng’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the baleful aura soaring into the sky. No matter what, he had to take down You Xutian within seven days. After taking down You Xutian and occupying an advantageous position, Xiao Chen would calm down the surroundings. In short, there was no room for loss this time.
Seeing his cautious expression, Daoist Xie chuckled again, “I’m just afraid. We’ll capture Nether Void Palace this time and sweep away the enemies outside. However, there’s always someone watching in the shadows. When the time comes, we’ll be fine.”
“I know.”
Daoist Qingdeng stroked his beard and pondered for a while before saying, “But it’s not certain who is the mantis and who is the yellow bird.”
…
Two days later, killing intent pervaded the Secluded Void Heavens. Cultivators from all directions had already charged in today. At this moment, outside Nether Void Palace, it was already in turmoil. However, looking at the seven hundred and seventy-nine pillars of light, there were still a dozen or so left.
These were the restriction formations left behind by Yan Wen. However, this formation was not set up by Yan Wen. Instead, it was originally in the Netherworld. It had been around for about 10,000 years. However, Spiritual Energy had already exhausted these restriction formations a thousand years ago. Later, it was Yan Wen who had accidentally found the secret techniques in the ancient texts that reactivated the formation.
However, it seemed that under the attacks of countless cultivators outside, the remaining dozen pillars of restrictive light were about to dissipate.
Once the Spiritual Energy of this restriction array was exhausted, the cultivators outside would definitely attack Nether Void Palace like bamboo, and almost no one would be able to block it.
Apart from the dozen or so Heaven-soaring Restraining Light Pillars, the entire Nether Void Palace was also enveloped by several faint light curtains. This light curtain was a defensive spirit formation that Yan Wen had set up according to ancient records with the spirit energy essence of Mount Zhou.
But to this day, the cultivators outside had already cut off the spiritual energy that connected the formation to the mountain range, and the Spiritual Energy of this formation was almost exhausted.
At this moment, there were more than twenty figures outside the layers of light curtains. Most of them were white-haired old men, as well as a few middle-aged and young men.
These twenty plus people were the first to cause chaos. They were not forces outside Heaven of Nether Void, but the leaders of the twenty plus sects that Yan Wen had subdued back then. Their main purpose in coming to Nether Void Palace this time was to force Yan Ruyu to return their soul essence.
They had been here for a long time, but the formation outside Nether Void Palace was extremely powerful. Even if they worked together, it would be difficult for them to attack before the formation Spiritual Energy completely dissipated.
And to this day, The xiuzhe from the other forces had already entered. A white-haired old man said loudly, “Yan Ruyu, you should listen to this old man. Hurry up and open this formation and return our soul essence. In this way, we can help you resist the strong enemies when the people outside attack. Otherwise, when those people attack, the entire Nether Void Palace will be in danger …”
The clanging sound instantly spread throughout Nether Void Palace, causing the disciples in the palace to tremble even more.
“Palace Master … What should we do now? They’ve called in …”
At this moment, a woman in red was pacing back and forth in a large hall made of carved jade. However, looking at this woman, her shoulders were sliced and her waist was plain. She looked around twenty years old. She was actually flawless and beautiful. She was as beautiful as the God of the Magical Mountain and the Spirit of Luo Shui.
At this moment, she was pacing back and forth in the hall, her fingers carved like white jade, tightly gripping a scarf. Even the scarf was drenched by the sweat on her palms.
Such a peerless beauty, no wonder so many people coveted her. She was Yan Wen’s junior sister, Yan Ruyu. Now that Yan Wen had died, she had become the master of Nether Void Palace.
Unfortunately, back then, Yan Wen was obsessed with longevity, yet he ignored such a beauty. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to go to Penglai to seek longevity three hundred years ago, how could Nether Void Palace have fallen to such a miserable state now?
“Palace Master … Palace Master! Not good, not good!”
Just at this moment, another female disciple ran in panicking outside the hall. However, seeing that female disciple’s face was so pale that she was out of breath, Yan Ruyu’s heart trembled as she asked, “What … say!”
“Answer, Palace Master …”
The female disciple choked angrily and swallowed her saliva forcefully, saying, “Outside, three hundred miles away … three hundred miles away, there are two Seven Realm experts coming this way! There are twenty to thirty Six Realm experts under her …”
“Two Seven Realms experts, twenty to thirty Six Realms experts …”
Yan Ruyu’s entire body trembled. At this moment, he could only feel that the heavens and earth were spinning endlessly. Speaking of two Seven Realms experts, it was one. When the formation was broken, he would be able to take down Nether Void Palace. Moreover, there were so many Six Realms experts. Which faction was this? What kind of power was this? With such a large sum of money?
“Do you know … who is it?”
At this moment, Yan Ruyu forcefully calmed down. Actually, she had already schemed long ago to make the forces that came to Heaven of Nether Void kill each other. Otherwise, Nether Void Palace would have been destroyed long ago and would not have waited until today.
“Answer, Palace Master …”
The disciple’s face was still deathly pale. He tried his best to think about it and muttered, “I wonder which faction they belong to. In any case, their attacks are especially ferocious. Anyone who stands in front of them, regardless of which faction, has been killed by them …”
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu’s heart trembled even more. He was so decisive in killing and attacking so ruthlessly. Then, there must be an extremely hard backer behind him … Could it be Yun Zhongjun?
No, that’s impossible. Yun Zhongjun occupies Cloud Dream Swamp. He has no reason to be distant, buy caskets and return pearls, and expend a lot of effort to get people to occupy Heaven of Nether Void …
“Palace Master … What should we do now? At most, they will attack You Xu Tian in a day …”
The female disciple’s face was deathly pale, and she had already panicked. At this moment, another female disciple dressed in dark green clothes walked up from the hall. She seemed to be Yan Ruyu’s personal disciple. She said, “Palace Master, otherwise … return the soul essence of those twenty plus people to them, just as they said. At that time, they can also use some strength to resist the people outside.”
“No!”
How could she not know what the twenty-odd people outside were thinking when Yan Ruyu’s words were resolute? Once those people were allowed to retrieve their lifeblood soul essence, not only would they have to help resist the strong enemies, they would also have to help attack Nether Void Palace.
Therefore, right now, she had to tightly grasp the souls of these twenty plus people. With these twenty soul essences, she could still make a final risk and threaten these people to defend against the cultivators outside for her. Otherwise, when Nether Void Palace was attacked, she would die. However, if she fell into the hands of those terrifying people, she could not be clearer about her fate.
“Could it be that we can only go to the Netherworld Paradise for a try now?”
The expression on Yan Ruyu’s face gradually became somewhat painful, and the expressions of the two disciples beside her immediately changed when they heard the words “Void Paradise”.
