As the Universe Turns - Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Solitary Lamp

At this moment, everyone felt a burst of suffocation. This kind of suffocating feeling that caused one’s courage to tremble did not come from the Blue Phoenix Sword, but from the Zhang Yaoqin that suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand!

Under the shroud of this divine power, the Cang Luan Sword finally slowed down a little, but its sword power did not diminish. Xiao Chen did not hesitate, and his fingertips condensed, landing on the “palace string”.

At this instant, a boundless ancient divine power surged out, causing everyone to tremble deeply. The light of Zhang Yaoqin in Xiao Chen’s hand flourished, and the clouds within ten kilometers surged endlessly. It was as if at this moment, the Yuan Qi of the entire world had been gathered over, reflecting him like a heavenly deity.

“Zheng!”

Following the sound of the zither, Xiao Chen finally loosened the zither string. The zither sound instantly turned into a dark brown light that slashed out horizontally, knocking over a large area of the ground along the way. Its momentum was unstoppable!

“Boom!”

With a loud sound, the zither sound collided with the Blue Phoenix Sword, causing the area to tremble violently. Even the disciples who were cultivating in their caves were woken up.

At this moment, the Blue Phoenix Sword flew backwards. The Blue Phoenix Sword Spirit also let out a howl, turning into a wisp of green smoke and returning to the sword.

“Zheng!”

With a sharp sound, the Blue Phoenix Sword stabbed in front of Qin E, but Qin E seemed to have suffered a heavy setback. She kept retreating backwards, retreating several zhang before stopping to stand firmly.

Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold as he pulled Fuxi Zither back into his sleeve. At this moment, everyone in the distance woke up as if they were dreaming. Just what kind of magic treasure was that Zhang Yaoqin? It actually has such terrifying power …

“You …”

Qin E’s hair was messy and her face was covered in sweat. Her gaze was even more terrifying than before. Suddenly, she raised her hand and held the Blue Phoenix Sword back. However, at this moment, a powerful old man’s voice suddenly sounded from afar, “Stop!”

A Old man Qingyi floated over from afar and arrived nearby in three or two steps. When the disciples saw him, they all greeted him respectfully, “Elder Qingmu …”

Old man Qingyi walked to Qin E’s side and looked at her. “Qin E, why are you here if you don’t cultivate properly?”

“I…”

Qin E pinched her fingers tightly and glared at Xiao Chen fiercely. Then, she flicked her sleeve and turned into a ray of red light that flew into the distance.

Old man Qingyi frowned and looked at Xiao Chen, “Wu Chen, come to the Heavenly Pagoda tomorrow morning.” After saying that, he looked at the nearby disciples and said, “Alright, there’s nothing for you here. Go back and cultivate.”

“Yes, Elder …”

The disciples cupped their hands and left in the distance.

Ling Luan slowly walked to Xiao Chen’s side and looked at the courtyard not far away that was destroyed by Qin E. For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable at this moment. Wu Chen lived here alone, and now even the place he lived in was destroyed by that crazy woman …

She looked up at Xiao Chen and whispered, “Wu Chen, you can’t stay here anymore. Otherwise … go to our side first tonight.”

“No need.”

Xiao Chen’s voice was faint. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards a secluded valley in the distance.

He randomly found a cave in the valley and cultivated for the night. The next day, he went to the Heavenly Pagoda at dawn. When they arrived at the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, two elders were already waiting here. Seeing that he was here, they immediately took him to a secret hall.

When they arrived at the secret hall, the two elders opened the entrance to the Profound Realm of the Heavenly Pagoda and said, “Senior Lonely Lamp is in the Profound Realm.”

The so-called Profound Realm was not an illusion, but a real world. Either the power of heaven and earth formed naturally, or a person with a high cultivation level condensed from a Nascent Soul divine ability. However, no matter what, the Profound Realm was hidden in the world. Without special methods, it would be impossible to see or easily find it outside.

Inside the Profound Realm, Xiao Chen immediately felt a rich immortal energy. Not far from the windowsill, there stood an immortal-like white-bearded old man with his back facing him. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the white clouds.

“Little friend Wu Chen is here.”

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the white-bearded old man slowly turned around. His eyes were clear, and the immortal energy on his body was awe-inspiring. He was completely different from the elders of the Extreme Heaven Pagoda outside. As soon as he approached, he could feel an ancient immortal energy.

This person was Celestial Pogoda, one of the four Great Elder in Daoist Gudeng.

The other three Elders were Daoist Taiwu, Daoist Withered Wood, Daoist Qingyang, and the four Great Elder. Each of them had their own divine abilities, and Daoist Gudeng had spent his entire life studying them, and he was the Nascent Soul.

Xiao Chen walked forward and cupped his hands towards the old man in front of him, “Greetings, Senior Lonely Lamp.”

“Mm …”

Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly. He looked at this very different young man in front of him. When Xiao Chen first entered, he had already felt it.

However, when he heard Xiao Chen address him as “Senior Lonely Lamp” instead of “Elder Lonely Lamp”, he already knew what was going on in his chest.

If it was a disciple of Celestial Pogoda, he would definitely address him as “Elder”, while the young man in front of him addressed him as “Senior”. Although the two words were different and had the same meaning, it could be seen that Xiao Chen did not treat him as a disciple of Celestial Pogoda.

“Little friend, are you looking for me for Nascent Soul?”

“Senior understands. That’s exactly the case.”

“Mm …”

Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly and stared at him for a moment before asking, “Your Nascent Soul …”

Xiao Chen said, “To be honest, Senior, this junior’s Nascent Soul was destroyed more than two years ago. This time, I came to Celestial Pogoda precisely to meet Senior. Senior Su Wen is proficient in Nascent Soul, so I would like to ask Senior to see if this junior’s Nascent Soul can still be reformed.”

“I see …”

Daoist Gudeng slightly stroked his beard and nodded. He thought that this young man was also frank. It directly showed that he did not come to Celestial Pogoda to cultivate, but to find himself to recover his Nascent Soul. He said, “One flower, one leaf, one flutter … Little friend, let’s see what’s different outside this window.”

Xiao Chen followed his instructions and walked over. He saw the scene outside the window. Flowers bloomed and fell. Ye Chang and Ye Fei looked more like an alternating cycle of spring and autumn than the outside. This was a small world of his own.

He closed his eyes and tried to sense it with his heart, but he was no longer able to sense the Laws of Heaven and Earth like before. After a long time, True Lonely Lamp asked, “Little friend, what can you sense?”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and shook his head. Ever since the destruction of the Nascent Soul, he had been unable to sense that mysterious realm.

“Mm …”

Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly and led him to a nearby stone table. “Let me take a look inside for you first,” he said.

Xiao Chen slowly stretched out his arm. Daoist Gudeng placed his fingers on his wrist and used the “Inner Sense Technique”. The so-called “Inner Sense” was an extremely profound divine ability of the Taoists. No one could do it without a profound Dao Cultivator.

Half an hour later, Daoist Gudeng finally opened his eyes and slowly put his hand back. Xiao Chen frowned and asked, “Senior, do you see anything?”

Daoist Gudeng twirled his fingers and smiled. He shook his head and said, “Little friend’s Nascent Soul hasn’t been destroyed.”
