As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1402
Chapter 1402 Legend of the Ancient Lotus
“Heaven beyond Heaven …”
These three words were no longer unfamiliar to Xiao Chen. Even the last time he went to the Suspension Garden with the Great Empress in Kunlun, the Great Empress had mentioned the Outer Heavens.
From the looks of it, it was no secret that Heaven’s Beyond Heaven coveted the Spiritual Energy and resources of the human world. There were even many things that were related to it.
Xiao Meng’er said, “The reason why the Immortal Dimension is cut off from the human world is simply to protect oneself, so as to prevent the turbid Qi of the Heavens beyond from infecting the Immortal Dimension …”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “I believe you already know something about the Heavens beyond Heaven. The first Heavens beyond Heaven was called the ‘Filthy Realm’. It was a world condensed from all sorts of filthy energy, turbid energy, demonic barriers, and the evil energy, greed, resentment, and hatred of all living beings in the Three Realms …”
Xiao Chen looked at the spotless lotuses in the pool and said, “Not to mention the human world and Ancient Immortal Realm, even the Heavenly Realm that was once the leader of the Six Realms was unable to withstand the turbid pollution of the Heavens beyond the Heavens. It seems that only the Nether Realm and the Demon Race’s Unabashed Realm are not afraid of the turbid energy of the Heavens beyond the Heavens.”
Xiao Meng’er said, “That’s right, so this time, the connection between the Immortal Dimension and the mortal world has been severed. The gap between the Immortal Dimension and the mortal world has been completely sealed, and we can’t go back for the time being.”
“Can’t we go back …”
Xiao Chen looked at the lotus in the pond. He had been in Ancient Immortal Realm for more than two years. He didn’t know anything about the world. Even Xiao Meng’er probably didn’t know much about it.
Now, he didn’t know how Lustless Heaven was doing. Wei Yang wasn’t awake. He was truly worried. If he were to be infected by the turbid Qi of the Outer World during this period, he would probably be unable to return to the Heavens even if he brought back Xian’er and an Innate Spirit Treasure …
“Now, is there no other way to return to the mortal world?”
“No.”
Xiao Meng’er shook her head and said, “I’ve been investigating for a while. Unless someone opens the gap in the Immortal Dimension again, there’s no other way. I haven’t found out who those people who cut off the connection nine months ago are. It seems that they’re hiding very deeply.”
“En …”
After listening, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, I’m looking for something.”
“Things? What things?”
Xiao Meng’er looked at him with a frozen expression on her face. In fact, she was unable to completely see through Xiao Chen’s purpose in coming to Ancient Immortal Realm this time.
“I’m looking for an Innate Spirit Treasure that has been left in the fragment of the Immortal Dimension.”
Xiao Chen looked at her and handed her an ancient book as he spoke. This ancient book was found for him by Yan Ruyu last month.
Xiao Meng’er took the ancient book from his hand and flipped through it. Her expression froze as she read, “In ancient times, the Immortal World collapsed. A lotus seed fell from the 33 Heavens and turned into a green lotus. It purified the turbid Qi in the world, and now it is nowhere to be found …”
“Ancient Green Lotus …”
Xiao Meng’er frowned and looked at him again, “This legendary item may not really exist. Did you come to the Immortal Dimension to find this item?”
Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the lotus pond outside the pavilion. The lotus flowers were swaying in the wind and were spotless. Whether it was a legend or a real existence, this was the only way to save Wei Yang. No matter what, he had to give it a try.
After a while, when the heavens and the earth are completely stabilized, I will ask Yan Ruyu to send people to continue investigating. According to the ancient records, it is highly likely that the lotus seed landed somewhere in the fragment of the Immortal Dimension, that is, in the Ancient Immortal Realm on this side of the world.
Xiao Chen said slowly, while Xiao Meng’er looked at him and said with a frown, “Then what I said to you just now …”
“This matter is not urgent.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand slightly and stopped her from continuing. Then, he looked at her and asked, “What do you think of Yun Zhongjun and Empress’s strength?”
“Huh?”
Seeing him suddenly ask such a question, Xiao Meng’er did not understand for a moment. She said, “These two people’s cultivation levels are already unfathomable, and there are few enemies in the Immortal Dimension.”
“That’s right.”
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at the lotus flower in the distance. “Nine months ago, I was fighting for the rain dew of the Immortal Dimension in Penglai. Afterwards, the avatars of Yun Zhongjun and Empress came to Penglai … What do you think this means?”
“This means …”
Xiao Meng’er’s eyes narrowed. After hearing what he said, he immediately understood. Perhaps a great figure like Yun Zhongjun and Empress didn’t know anything about the severance of the connection between the Immortal Dimensions, let alone the others.
“That’s right.”
Looking at the lotus flower in the pond in the distance, Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said, “Even influential figures like Yun Zhongjun and Empress don’t know anything, let alone you and me. Haven’t you seen through this vast world yet” Turning around, he stared at her motionlessly.
If this was meaningful, then coupled with the look in his eyes, Xiao Meng’er suddenly realized how powerful the Great Thousand Worlds were, how big the world could be.
Only Foundation Establishment cultivators can see the world of Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul cultivators can see the world of Nascent Soul cultivators, unsaints can see the world of unsaints, and saints can see the world of saints …
If one were to let a Foundation Establishment cultivator see the world of a sage, then it would probably be impossible for him to take a single step forward, right?
Xiao Meng’er understood. She could do whatever she wanted. The matter of the Immortal Dimension severing the connection between the worlds involved too much. Even someone as powerful as Yun Zhongjun and Empress had yet to investigate, yet she actually dared to investigate this matter?
At this moment, after Xiao Chen reminded her, she couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat behind her back.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “One day in the future, when our strength enters that domain, everything will naturally become clear.”
Xiao Meng’er stared at him motionlessly. She didn’t expect that in just over a year, his cultivation had changed so much. It wasn’t just that his cultivation had increased, it was that his entire artistic conception was completely different from before.
Now that he had seen everything in this world so thoroughly, she suddenly remembered that when Acheron Valley first met him back then, the difference between the two of them was simply too great.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. “In the past, no matter what misunderstandings we had in the world, from now on, I hope that there will be no more suspicions between us.”
After hearing what he said, Xiao Meng’er couldn’t help but recall that back in the mortal world, the two of them had always been like enemies. From the beginning, Acheron Valley had fought for Spiritual Bloodline Force, and the two of them were like enemies. Later on, they went to Feng Yuntian …
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the lotus flower outside the pavilion. “Actually, there is another person that I am … most worried about.”
Xiao Meng’er’s eyes narrowed. At this moment, she seemed to have guessed who he was talking about.
