As the Universe Turns - Chapter 141
Chapter 141 Immortal North Ancient Realm
More than 300 years ago, what exactly happened in the ancient land of Xianyuan more than 300 years ago?
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt that something was unusual. That time, the invasion of several great devil sects should be a matter of the future. This was because Master had already inherited Excellency from the Jade Light Bloodline, but what exactly happened in the ancient land of Xianyuan before that?
“Senior, did that person really never say his surname, nor did he say anything about him?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression became even more serious. Granny Meng sighed and shook her head, “No, he only said that he came from the other side of the desert … And over the years, Miss has tried many times to cross the Desert of Death to find him, but all of them failed. The Desert of Death is simply impossible to cross.”
At this point, she paused for a moment and continued to sigh, “So, every time someone appeared in the desert, Miss would capture them and torture them to ask if they came from the other side of the desert. Ah … they did evil.”
“I see …”
Xiao Chen’s mood gradually calmed down. It turned out that Nianxiang Qin was only a pitiful woman who had been hurt by love. That person hadn’t returned once in more than three hundred years. Could it be that she was already dead?
“Sigh …”
Granny Meng turned around and slowly retrieved the wooden staff from his hand. She said, “Young Hero came from the other side of the desert as well. If Young Hero encounters that person one day, please bring a message for him …”
“Senior, please speak.”
Xiao Chen looked at her, but in his heart, he thought, “Where can I find this vast sea of people?” It had been more than three hundred years. Perhaps that person had already died.
Granny Meng said, “There are naturally love idiots in the world. This hate has nothing to do with Feng Yue … Bring these words to him and tell him that if he doesn’t come back, then say it. Don’t let Miss continue to wait forever.”
“Alright, if I meet that person one day in the future, this junior will definitely bring my words.”
“Mm … Then, thank you, Young Hero.”
Granny Meng nodded slightly and took out two scrolls of ancient sheepskin from his bosom. He handed them to him, “Here are two maps. One of them is the map outside the Berserk Sand Castle, which depicts every restriction. I hope that Young Hero can destroy this map immediately after he leaves. The other is a partial map of the Immortal North Ancient Realm, which may be of some help to Young Hero.”
“In that case … Thank you, Senior.”
Xiao Chen didn’t expect Senior Meng to be so thoughtful. With the map of the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, he wouldn’t have rushed aimlessly and said, “Then … this junior will bid farewell.”
“Mm …”
Granny Meng nodded and asked, “Before Young Hero leaves, can I know Young Hero’s name?”
Xiao Chen stopped and looked at her. After thinking for a while, he said, “This junior’s surname is Xiao. His name is Yichen.”
At this moment, he only felt that there was no need to conceal his identity from this senior, and this senior would not tell anyone about his identity, including Nianxiang Qin.
“Xiao Yichen …”
After hearing this, Granny Meng nodded her head repeatedly, “A very good name. The person who named you must be a great person.”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh bitterly when he heard this. He remembered the day when he left with his master. A wave of sorrow surged into his heart and he sighed lightly. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, “May I ask Senior if there was an injured girl who crossed the desert two years ago? She was born very beautiful, about this tall …”
“Two years ago, the injured girl …”
Hearing that, Granny Meng lowered her head and thought seriously. Xiao Chen saw her concentrate on her thoughts and didn’t dare to disturb her. After a long time, Granny Meng raised her head and looked at him. “Two years ago, the Villa Master of Danfeng Villa, Bie Lifeng, brought a severely injured and unconscious girl through Berserk Sand Castle.”
When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart trembled. He quickly asked, “Senior, are you serious? How old is that girl? What color was she wearing at that time?”
Granny Meng pondered for a moment and said, “Because the young miss refused to make way at that time, she was not close to the wind, so the old man remembered clearly. As for the young lady, she looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old. She was dressed in white and her clothes were covered in blood.”
Wei Yang, it’s Wei Yang …
At this moment, a huge wave appeared in Xiao Chen’s heart. Chu Tianyao said that Wei Yang was no longer in the Five Regions of Xianyuan. Could it really be her? She actually crossed the Death Desert alone …
What went to Celestial Pogoda, what went to look for Senior Lonely Lamp, what recovered Nascent Soul, at this moment, it didn’t matter, because nothing was more important than Wei Yang!
Granny Meng saw his excited expression. “Young Hero Xiao, calm down first. There are often people lost in this desert. Not only that severely injured girl from two years ago, there were also some injured girls who passed by three to four years ago, five to six years ago, or were found to have fainted in the desert. Perhaps the girl that Bie Lifeng saved two years ago was not the one you were looking for …”
However, no matter what Granny Meng said, Xiao Chen couldn’t listen anymore. He wanted to find Wei Yang. No matter what, he had to find Wei Yang. Even if he didn’t go to Celestial Pogoda and recover his Nascent Soul, he had to find Wei Yang first!
“Senior Meng, tell me, where is that Pill Maple Villa?”
“Sigh …”
Granny Meng couldn’t help but let out a long sigh. He was thinking in his heart, if that man was like this man in front of him, how could young miss have waited for more than three hundred years? It was truly a joke of good fortune! “The Danfeng Villa is located in the eastern part of the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, but it is heavily guarded, and experts are like clouds. Bie Lifeng’s cultivation is even more frightening than his old body. You can’t enter.”
“But …”
“I know …”
Before Xiao Chen could say anything, Granny Meng interrupted, “Young Hero Xiao, I know that your abilities are outstanding, but listen to this old man’s words. You are new to the Ancient Realm, so don’t rush into the Dragon Pool Tiger’s den easily.” Bie Lifeng is a narrow-minded person. If you trespass on his manor, he will definitely not let you off. Besides, in my opinion, the girl he saved two years ago may not be the one you are looking for. ”
After hearing her words, Xiao Chen finally calmed down. Before she left, Sister Shen Jing told herself not to be as impulsive as before. Now that Master was not by her side, she had fallen asleep all night long. No one could protect her.
“Thank you, Senior, for telling me tonight. Junior … farewell. See you again someday.” Xiao Chen cupped his hands towards Granny Meng, put on his battle robe, and went outside.
…
The sky was bright and moonlit. After leaving Berserk Sand Castle for a hundred miles, he immediately destroyed the map carved with the restrictions outside Berserk Sand Castle according to his agreement with Granny Meng. Then, he looked at the endless mountain range thoughtfully.
Wei Yang, has Wei Yang really come to the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm? Was that seriously injured girl in the desert two years ago really her? Why did she cross this endless desert alone and come to this place …
He could only enter the Immortal North Ancient Realm first.
This place was called the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm. He took out another map and looked at it carefully. It wasn’t very carefully carved, but it also gave him a rough understanding of the terrain of the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm.
The terrain of the Immortal North Ancient Realm was similar to that of the Immortal Origin Five Regions. It also had the five largest maps. The Heavenly Pagoda was located in the “Heavenly Peak City” of the Eastern Realm, but the Danfeng Villa was not drawn on the map.
At this moment, he was still at the edge of the southern border, and there was still a long way to go from the center of the eastern border. It was unknown when he would arrive.
Putting away the map, Xiao Chen rode his sword. Whether it was Wei Yang or Celestial Pogoda, he could only enter the Eastern Region first.
After half a month, he finally entered the Eastern Region. During this half month, he had a general understanding of Immortal North Ancient Realm and Celestial Pogoda.
Immortal North Ancient Realm and Xianyuan Five Realms were slightly different. Xianyuan Five Realms was dominated by various cultivation sects, such as Xuanqing Sect, Tibetan Peak Valley, and Cyanrainbow Sect, and they were divided into the Righteous Devil and the Righteous Devil.
On the other hand, the Immortal North Ancient Realm was dominated by ancient cultivation clans. Down below, there were some powerful sects. However, apart from these clans and sects, there were three other very special forces.
Among these three special forces, one was called the Divine Martial Palace, the other was called the Profound Frost Pavilion, and the third was called Celestial Pogoda.
These three forces were neither sects nor clans. Strictly speaking, they were three places for cultivating experts and talents.
For thousands of years, the experts who had walked out of these three places were like countless stars in the sky. Even the powerful clans and sects had to be in awe of them.
In terms of strength and scale, the Divine Martial Palace always took the lead in these three places, followed by the Mysterious Frost Pavilion, and finally Celestial Pogoda was the smallest.
Although Celestial Pogoda’s strength and scale looked inferior to the first two, it was the most difficult of the three to enter Celestial Pogoda to cultivate. There were many clans or sects that wanted their people to enter Celestial Pogoda to cultivate, but none of them failed.
To enter Celestial Pogoda, one had to rely on one’s strength. Perhaps because of this, the size and number of people in Celestial Pogoda were far inferior to those in the Divine Martial Palace and the Mysterious Frost Pavilion.
In the past half a month, Xiao Chen had naturally figured out the rules for entering Celestial Pogoda. Celestial Pogoda recruited disciples every three years. Every time, he would release 72 Heaven’s Path cards a month in advance. The Heaven’s Path cards were placed everywhere. Those who wished to enter Celestial Pogoda would each rely on their own abilities to obtain them.
Only by obtaining a Heavenly Extreme Token would one be eligible to enter Celestial Pogoda. However, obtaining a Heavenly Extreme Token was not something that even a disciple of Celestial Pogoda would have to undergo. Basically, only those less than 30 people would be able to successfully pass the trial at a time.
As for how to obtain a Heaven’s Path Token, some clans could rely on their clans to compete for it. Those without clans could compete for it with their own abilities. In short, no matter what method they used, even if they snatched it from others, as long as they personally brought the token outside Celestial Pogoda on the last day, they would be considered successful.
It was precisely because of this that a long time ago, some organizations specifically snatched this Heaven’s Path Token, and then sold it to some family heirs at a high price to make a huge profit from it. However, later on, an expert came out from Celestial Pogoda and made an example of him. From then on, no one dared to take any risks with their own bodies.
In the past half month, Xiao Chen had already thought it through. Perhaps, as Granny Meng had said, that girl might not be Wei Yang. The Danfeng Villa was heavily guarded, and the experts inside were like clouds. Bie Lifeng’s cultivation was not below those of Yi Wuji, so it was impossible for him to enter. Only after half a year, on Bie Lifeng’s birthday, would he be able to post a hero’s invitation. Only then would he be able to sneak in.
In the past six months, he could enter Celestial Pogoda and find Senior Lonely Lamp. However, the only problem was that Celestial Pogoda had already released 72 Heaven’s Path cards at the beginning of the month. Now, it was almost a month. The 72 Heaven’s Path cards already belonged to him. How could he obtain one of them?
