As the Universe Turns - Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Measure For Measure

After a long time, Ling Luan slowly recovered. Looking at the withered flowers and plants in the courtyard, she suddenly closed her eyes, crossed her hands in front of her chest, and began to chant incantations.

Slowly, countless sparkling and translucent droplets of water floated around her body. The water droplets slowly drifted towards the withered flowers and plants, and in an instant, the flowers and plants were revitalized.

A moment later, her face was dripping with sweat as she slowly opened her eyes. The withered flowers and grass in the courtyard had all miraculously come back to life at this moment.

“Liao Wuchen, I can’t do anything for you, but … these flowers and plants can accompany you. Don’t be so lonely all the time.”

Ling Luan glanced at the tightly shut door before slowly walking out of the courtyard.

…

Inside the room, Xiao Chen’s face was deathly pale, and a wisp of black gas could be seen between his eyebrows. Both of his hands continuously pointed towards the large acupoints around his body. This continued until nightfall, and the aura of death was completely suppressed by Xiao Chen.

The moonlight outside the window was as cold as ice as it coldly shone into the room. Xiao Chen slowly stood up and went to the window. He looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard that had regained their vitality and remained silent.

Another half a month passed, and when he went out this day, he happened to bump into Ling Luan again.

“What are you doing here again?”

“I…”

Ling Luan looked around and saw that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were still flourishing. He calmed down a little and saw that he was back to normal. He asked, “Liao Wuchen, are you … are you alright? Half a month ago, what happened to you?”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at Bai Yun in the distance. “It’s just that his zhenqi went wrong while cultivating. It’s fine.” “What are you doing here again?” He glanced at her.

Ling Luan chuckled and said, “Have you forgotten? In another month, it will be the day to ascend the tower. At that time, I don’t know how many floors you can ascend to. Liao Wuchen, you must be able to ascend to the Word Earth Realm, right?”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. He looked at the white clouds in the distance. The Celestial Pogoda Trial Challenge was coming in a month. He would be able to see Senior Lonely Lamp when he reached the 36th floor. At that time, regardless of whether he could recover his Nascent Soul, he would have to leave.

“Hey, why aren’t you talking again?”

Ling Luan blinked his big eyes at him. Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves and said, “If there’s nothing else, please go back. I won’t take you to Celestial Pogoda.” After saying that, he went out of the courtyard.

Ling Luan was stunned for a long time before shouting at his departing figure, “Who wants you to bring him along?” After saying that, he rubbed his head and muttered to himself, “Deng Celestial Pogoda, of course, is relying on his own strength. Liao Wuchen is really baffling …”

…

A month passed in a flash. On the first day of the second month, the old and new disciples arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Pagoda. They saw that magnificent pagoda towering into the clouds, almost unable to see the top. Just standing below, they could feel a sense of majesty.

This pagoda was the most magnificent and tallest in the entire Immortal North Ancient Realm. It was called the Heavenly Extreme.

Inside the crowd, Ling Luan was standing on tiptoe and looking around. It was almost noon, but she could not see Liao Wuchen’s figure. At this moment, the originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.

A woman dressed in red walked over from afar. Her features were picturesque, but her eyes were a little cold. It was as if the frost in February had stopped people from approaching her.

Seeing her walking over slowly, the crowd immediately made way for both sides. Many people smiled and greeted her, “Senior Sister Qin E, you’re here.”

However, that woman’s eyes were ice-cold all the time. There was a faint feeling of arrogance on her body. She was one of the four great sects of Immortal North Ancient Realm, the apple of the eye of the Heavenly Tide Sword Sect’s Sect Master, Qin E.

At this moment, Ling Luan stood together with more than twenty rookies. Seeing the cold woman walk over arrogantly, she couldn’t help but snort in her heart. The Heavenly Tide Sword Sect wasn’t that impressive.

Right at this moment, a burst of noise suddenly resounded from behind. A red-clothed man flew over from afar, and there were quite a few people beside him.

The red-clothed man’s sword-eyebrows and star-shaped eyes also emitted an aura that made people not dare to approach him easily. Seeing that he was here, many people greeted him with smiles, “Senior Brother Feng.”

This man was Feng Gufei, the senior apprentice-brother of those old disciples last time. When Ling Luan saw him walk over, her eyes immediately revealed a trace of disgust.

“Junior Sister Qin E, good morning.”

Feng Gufei walked up with a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, Celestial Pogoda, who was walking towards the hall on the first floor of Qin E, finally stopped. He turned his head slightly and said calmly, “Senior Brother Feng, it’s quite early.”

For some reason, the encounter between these two people caused the people standing nearby to feel an inexplicable chill. However, at the moment in I am, another chill came from afar, causing many people to tremble.

Everyone couldn’t help but look over, only to see a green-clothed man slowly walking over. His gaze was as cold as frost, even colder than the weather in February.

Seeing that person slowly approaching, Ling Luan was overjoyed. She kept waving her hand, “Wu Chen, Wu Chen, here, here!”

However, Xiao Chen’s entire body was cold and cold. He didn’t even look at her. He walked straight to the hall on the first floor of Celestial Pogoda. The moment he passed by Feng Gufei and Qin E, even the surrounding air seemed to freeze in an instant.

Regardless of whether it was Feng Gufei or Qin E, he had never looked at them. This kind of cold caused everyone to feel an inexplicable chill.

One of them was the person with the highest cultivation at the Earth Word Realm, the other was the daughter of the Heavenly Tide Sword Sect’s Sect Master, and the last was the most mysterious and unfathomable person among the rookies this time.

At this moment, the gathering of these three people was like a cold frost descending on everyone’s hearts, causing them to shiver. Could it be that these three people wanted to compete for the rankings today?

Celestial Pogoda has a total of 9981 floors, of which every ninth floor is a “realm”, and there are nine realms. Among the nine realms, there are “heaven”, “earth”, and “people”.

The top three realms are the Heavenly Word Realm, the middle three realms are the Earth Word Realm, and the bottom three realms are the Herringbone Realm.

Most of Celestial Pogoda’s disciples were still in the Handwriting Realm, while Feng Gufei was the senior brother with the highest cultivation in the Earth Realm. As for the Heavenly Word Realm, disciples of the Heavenly Word Realm had always been mysterious. It had been many years since they had appeared, and they would not normally cultivate with the people below them.

Therefore, many of Celestial Pogoda’s disciples had never seen the elegance of senior apprentice-brothers and senior apprentice-sisters of the Heavenly Word Realm from the day they entered Celestial Pogoda until the day they left. Those people were probably already in Celestial Pogoda a hundred years ago.

At this moment, many people felt a chill surge in their hearts as they watched Xiao Chen turn a blind eye to Feng Gufei and Qin E. Right at this moment, a white-clothed man standing beside Feng Gufei suddenly said coldly, “Is that Wu Chen in front?”

At this moment, the surrounding air seemed to have frozen. Everyone felt that something was wrong. Many people even subconsciously retreated backwards.

Xiao Chen also stopped. He tilted his head back slightly and said, “Is something the matter?”
