As the Universe Turns - Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Celestial Pogoda
Xiao Chen placed the Blood Transformation Needle on Ye Shisan’s throat and said indifferently, “A Heavenly Extreme Token for his life is very fair.”

Upon hearing that the other party was coming for the Heavenly Extreme Card, the two old men couldn’t help but make trouble. Nothing could happen to Childe, but the Heavenly Extreme Card couldn’t be handed over.

Ye Shisan struggled twice and said anxiously, “Elders, you must not give him the Heavenly Extreme Token!”

Xiao Chen’s eyes were still cold as he said indifferently, “I can assure you that once these three silver needles pierce into his throat, he will immediately turn into a withered corpse. Even his primordial spirit will not be able to escape. You can try. I will only count to three … one!”

The atmosphere became abnormally solidified. The dozen or so Ye Family guards rushed over from outside did not dare to act rashly, The two old men furrowed their brows. The man on the left said, “Little friend, why don’t you listen to my advice and fight against the Ye Clan? It won’t end well. But as long as little friend doesn’t hurt Childe tonight, the two of us can pretend that nothing happened. If little friend needs anything else, the two of us can give it to you and let you leave unhurriedly.”

Xiao Chen remained silent coldly. His gaze was still cold, and the killing intent on his body grew even stronger.

Seeing that he wasn’t moved at all, the old man on the right continued, “Even if Little Friend injured Childe’s life tonight, he still wouldn’t be able to obtain the Heaven’s Path Token. As a result, Little Friend will be hunted down day and night in the future, so why bother?”

“That’s right. If I kill him tonight, I won’t be able to obtain the Heaven’s Path Token. However, if this happens, I’m afraid that it will implicate the two seniors … Two!”

“You!”

The two old men were really anxious this time. They were afraid that he would do something irreversible in a hurry, but they really couldn’t give him this Heaven’s Path card!

Just like this, the two sides continued to stalemate. Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold, “Three!”

At this moment, a cold killing intent instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. The two old men were suddenly shocked. The old man on the left tossed a black token over without thinking. Because at that moment, he felt a real killing intent, a cold killing intent that he had never felt before!

Xiao Chen caught the flying token and put it into his sleeve without looking at it. He would not doubt the authenticity of the Heaven’s End token because the two of them did not have the ability to foresee things. It was impossible for them to forge a fake token in advance.

At this moment, Ye Shisan was already frightened to the point of breaking his heart. Because at that moment, he also felt the cold killing intent from the person beside him. He had never felt such a terrifying killing intent before. Just who was this person and how many people had he killed …

After handing over the Heavenly Extreme Token, the two old men seemed to have let off steam and said powerlessly, “The Heavenly Extreme Token has already been given to you. Can we release him now?”

“Turn around.”

Xiao Chen said coldly.

The two old men took a deep breath and could only hold back this energy. They silently turned around and Xiao Chen said, “Seal your own strength.”

“You!”

The two old men were instantly enraged, “I’ve already given you the Heavenly Extreme Token. What else do you want? Don’t push your luck!”

“I say, self-proclaimed skill.”

“You …”

The two elders could only swallow their anger. With their two fingers together, they temporarily sealed their own strength. Xiao Chen glanced at the dozen or so guards outside and said, “What are you guys still waiting for?”

The dozen guards glanced at each other and even the two elders compromised. What else could they do? He had no choice but to obey his opponent’s request and self-proclaimed his strength.

Xiao Chen looked at the two old men again and pushed Ye Shisan out forcefully. Only then did he unfold his Instant Step Cosmos and disappear into the endless night.

“Childe!”

The two old men hurriedly turned around to support Ye Shisan. At this moment, Ye Shisan’s expression was terrifying to the extreme. He pushed the two of them away forcefully. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was so low that it trembled, “I, Ye Shisan, have never suffered such a great humiliation … Everyone obeyed orders and chased after that person at all costs!” The ends of the earth … will never let go! Find out who he is, I want to destroy his entire clan! Kill him! “Do you hear me?”

…

This night in Ningzhou City, there was some unease.

At this moment, on a tall building in the distance, there was a black-robed man. He looked in the direction where Xiao Chen had escaped. After a long time, he shook his head and smiled, “What a capable little fellow. I wonder which sect’s disciple he is. Celestial Pogoda, I’m sure it’s going to be quite lively this time.”

“Heh … you were there just now? Why didn’t you make a move?” At this moment, another person wearing a black robe walked over from the other side.

The previous man looked at him and said, “Why should I take action? He seems to have not violated the rules when he obtained the Heavenly Extreme Token, depending on his abilities and methods.”

“Sigh, it’s just that … that person’s killing intent is a bit heavy.”

“Isn’t your killing intent always heavy? Speaking of which, that little fellow seemed to have discovered my divine sense in the end. How interesting.”

“Your divine sense will also be discovered? Heh …”

…

After leaving Ningzhou City, Xiao Chen started his Ling Xian Steps all the way. The reason why he was in such a hurry was not because he was worried that the Ye Clan would catch up with him. More importantly, at that moment, he could vaguely feel a wisp of divine sense staring at him.

This caused him to feel extremely uneasy. Right now, his divine sense was much sharper than an ordinary person’s. Therefore, no matter who it was, once someone tried to use their divine sense to spy on him, they would definitely be detected by him at the first possible moment. However, that was not the case just now.

The feeling just now was like the moment he stepped into the restaurant, he had already been locked onto by his opponent’s divine sense. However, he did not notice it at all. He thought that he did it without anyone noticing, but how could he have expected that everything he did tonight would be clearly seen by the opponent? This made him too uneasy. This Immortal North Ancient Realm was indeed hiding a dragon and crouching tiger.

Three days later, Xiao Chen finally arrived at Heavenly Peak City. From afar, he could see the tower that towered into the clouds among the peaks of Dongcheng City. That tower was Celestial Pogoda’s landmark building. It was called the “Heavenly Extreme”.

Heavenly Peak City was one of the larger cities in Immortal North Ancient Realm. Normally, there were many cultivators coming and going. However, because Celestial Pogoda was located in this city, it was relatively stable. Celestial Pogoda protected one side, so no one dared to invade this city easily.

Today, Xiao Chen had already changed his attire. He took off his black battle robe and went straight to the eastern district where Celestial Pogoda was located. Because today was the first round of the Celestial Pogoda Trials, the city was very lively. Many sects and cultivator clans came.

These people were naturally escorting the disciples of their own sects to Celestial Pogoda to prevent any accidents from happening on the way to the Heavenly Ji Token that they had obtained with great difficulty.

After all, Celestial Pogoda’s rule was that as long as they hadn’t stepped into Celestial Pogoda, it would be fine if someone snatched away the Heavenly Ji Token at the entrance. However, if someone dared to chase after them after entering Celestial Pogoda, they would probably have to lie down and leave.

Xiao Chen arrived at a plaza in the downtown area of Celestial Pogoda. This was the trial plaza in Celestial Pogoda. Normally, there weren’t many people there. That mountain was the real Celestial Pogoda. The disciples were all cultivating on the mountain.

But today, the trial square was filled with people. Every day, when the Extreme Pagoda recruited new disciples, the senior brothers and sisters on the mountain would sneak down to watch. The elders were already used to it and would not say anything else.

At this moment, there were two old men standing in front of a stone tablet outside the square. They were the two Trial Peak Elders of Celestial Pogoda, and they were also in charge of the rookies’ entrance exam.

Outside, there were already a lot of people gathered. Apart from the rookies, the rest were naturally from the various clans and sects. The entire Immortal North Ancient Realm was so big, but there were only three special forces. Celestial Pogoda’s entrance to the test was so difficult, so most of the people who were able to enter Celestial Pogoda were elites from the various clans and sects.

Of course, apart from the people who had their own clans and sects as backing, there were also some people who did not have clans and sects. These people obtained the Heavenly Extreme Token entirely on their own, so in a sense, they were stronger than those who had clans and sects as backing.

At this moment, Xiao Chen also quietly lined up in the queue. It took him about half an incense stick of time before he arrived. The elder who wrote the record glanced at him. There was not much difference on his face. He only said calmly, “Name, sect, clan.”

“Liao Wuchen, no sect, no family.”

Xiao Chen used a pseudonym, but after hearing that he didn’t have a sect or clan, not only did the surrounding people couldn’t help but look at him, the elder also raised his head to look at him, but there wasn’t much change. With a calm expression, he continued, “Heavenly Extreme Card.”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He took out the black token from his sleeve and was about to hand it out when a powerful old man’s voice came from behind, “Wait!”

This “slow down” sound attracted everyone’s attention. Not far away, a dozen or so people walked over. The leader was a Old man Qingyi. The old man’s hair was white and his eyebrows were like swords. His entire body carried an aura of self-prestige, causing the people in front of him to retreat to both sides.

Evidently, everyone here recognized these ten people as members of the Ye Clan of the Southern Region. Although the Ye Clan was far away from the Southern Region, it was considered a large clan. Therefore, no one dared to offend them.

At this moment, the pen-writing elder of Celestial Pogoda glanced at Old man Qingyi, who was walking towards him step by step, and said indifferently, “Elder Ye, what’s the matter?”

Old man Qingyi was not angry, he pointed at Xiao Chen and said coldly, “This person is not allowed to enter Celestial Pogoda.”

Hearing this, the surrounding people looked at each other and began to discuss in low voices. No matter how powerful the Ye Clan was in the South, he might not be able to control Celestial Pogoda’s presence?

The writing elder’s face was still calm as he said indifferently, “With the Heavenly Extreme Card, you can enter Celestial Pogoda.”

“I know.”

Old man Qingyi’s expression was still cold as he pointed at Xiao Chen, “But this person’s Heavenly Extreme Token has some unknown origins.”

“Oh?”

The writing elder glanced at him. This time, he finally put down the pen in his hand and put both of his hands into his sleeves. He said indifferently, “I am willing to hear more about it.”

The discussions in the surroundings grew louder and louder. Old man Qingyi’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Xiao Chen and said coldly, “This little friend stole the Heavenly Ji Token from our sect three days ago. Now, it should be time for him to return it to its original owner.”
