As the Universe Turns - Chapter 176
Chapter 176 True Monarch
“I can also feel it … Maybe, it’s a little troublesome.”
Xiao Chen furrowed his brows. He could feel that the person who came was very strong, and his cultivation was very high. Most importantly, that aura had actually caused a trace of pressure to him.
Even when he was outside Dingfeng City, facing the Yin Yang Dharma King and the others, he did not feel this oppressive feeling at this moment, and this oppressive feeling did not only come from the difference in cultivation.
At the same time, the people elsewhere also felt a bit of pressure. Whether it was the people from the three great powers or the people from other clans and sects, there was a faint feeling of unease at this moment.
“Idiot! Look over there!”
In the northeast direction, the clouds surged endlessly. Within the clouds, there was actually a hundred zhang Vermillion Rainbow flying over, causing the clouds on both sides to surge to the left and right.
As the hundred foot rainbow approached, the pressure on the crowd grew heavier and heavier. Gradually, it was less than ten li away. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a red figure flying in the sky. Behind the red figure, there were several other figures. The aura emitted from their bodies was also not weak, and it was definitely not something that the four masked old elders could compare to.
Finally, those figures arrived at the top of the valley. A powerful aura covered the sky and the crowd that were still discussing became completely silent.
The middle-aged man in the lead was dressed in red, with sharp eyebrows, a red mark on his forehead, and his feet on the scarlet red flame cloud. He looked extremely arrogant, as if he did not care about any of the clans and sects present at this moment.
“It’s from Xuanxiao Palace …”
In the valley below, someone finally reacted. At this moment, many people felt a burst of tremor. Why did the people of Xuanxiao Palace come here? Could it be that it was also for Power of Azure Dragon?
In the distance, Not only did the expressions of Divine Martial Palace and the elders of the Profound Frost Pavilion change, the expressions of Elder Tian Ji Ta and the others became even more miserable. This time, Power of Azure Dragon was different from the past. It was rare to see someone coveting Power of Azure Dragon this time, but they never expected that it would be that person … The person who calmed down the northeast several hundred years ago.
“Idiot, that person is here for Power of Azure Dragon. His cultivation is very high.” Hua Weiyang sent a secret message to Xiao Chen, who was standing beside him.
“I know.”
Xiao Chen stood there motionlessly, observing the expressions of the people around him. From the looks of it, this Xuanxiao Palace was very powerful.
“Who has Power of Azure Dragon?”
Right at this moment, the red-clothed man in midair finally spoke coldly. His tone seemed to be unquestionable. At this moment, everyone’s gazes turned towards Xiao Chen.
The red-clothed man also followed everyone’s gaze. When he saw that he was a disciple of the Heavenly Pagoda, he looked towards Elder Azurewood and the others in the distance and said calmly, “This time, the Heavenly Pagoda captured Power of Azure Dragon, but this time, True Monarch Power of Azure Dragon needs it. Leave it to me to take it away.”
Many people trembled as they whispered. Indeed, True Monarch Xuanxiao wanted Power of Azure Dragon. This time, the Azure Dragon had fought for so long. Now, it seemed that Celestial Pogoda had only obtained a false name and was only marrying someone else.
At this moment, Celestial Pogoda’s elders’ backs were drenched in sweat. After a long time, Elder Qingmu took a step forward and cupped his hands slightly towards the red-clothed man in midair. He said, “The competition for Spiritual Meridians has always been between Celestial Pogoda, Divine Martial Hall, and Mysterious Frost Pavilion. I wonder why True Monarch Xuanxiao interfered this time. Please clarify.”
The red-clothed man frowned when he saw that he had some questions. His face seemed to be a little impatient and he said calmly, “I said, True Monarch Power of Azure Dragon needs this time. You don’t need to have many questions.”
“This …”
Elder Qingmu made it even harder. It was not easy for Power of Azure Dragon to obtain it. What Celestial Pogoda wanted was not this false name, but this Power of Azure Dragon was of great importance. There must be no mistakes. If True Monarch Xuanxiao said that he wanted it, how could he hand it over so easily?
However, if they didn’t hand it over, this Crimson Cloud Envoy’s cultivation was far higher than all of them at this moment. If the other party wanted to forcefully snatch it, they would be helpless.
At this moment, many people in the crowd were whispering, Xuanxiao Palace had cultivated for many years on the Immortal Island in the northeastern sea area. True Monarch Xuanxiao was extraordinary and had long since stopped meddling in the mortal affairs of the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm. There were also rumors that True Monarch Xuanxiao had already cultivated heaven-reaching and earth-shattering abilities to open up its own Immortal Domain. Why did he actually come to this mortal world to compete for Power of Azure Dragon this time?
In the eyes of the world, True Monarch Xuanxiao was extraordinary, capable, and mysterious. No one could see through his intentions this time.
However, for some reason, even True Monarch Xuanxiao had come to participate in secular disputes. Soon, the entire Immortal Primordial Ancient Land would undergo a great change. Rumors had it that there were four True Monarchs with extraordinary abilities in the Four Seas and Eight Desolates. This True Monarch Xuanxiao was one of them.
Of course, it was only a rumor. Most of them had never seen the true faces of the four True Monarchs, and they didn’t even know about them.
At this moment, the crowd was silent. Only the cold wind swept past the top of the mountain, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and making rustling sounds.
At this moment, the red-clothed Elder of Divine Martial Palace suddenly took a step forward and looked at Chi Yunshi in midair. “True Monarchs never interfere in the affairs of the mortal world. Why did they suddenly ask for Power of Azure Dragon this time? May I know if Chi Yunshi can explain it more clearly?”
Of course, he didn’t want to care about Celestial Pogoda’s life or death, but this time True Monarch Xuanxiao suddenly wanted Power of Azure Dragon. This matter was too unimaginable. If he wanted Power of Azure Dragon this time, would he want anything else next time? Since he was from Divine Martial Palace, he naturally needed to clarify some things.
“What? True Monarch, do you need to report to the Divine Martial Palace?”
Unexpectedly, Chi Yunshi shot two cold gazes at the red-clothed elder of Divine Martial Palace, instantly intimidating him and not daring to say another word.
At the same time, the rest of them remained silent. No one asked any more questions. After all, everyone knew how to seek good fortune and avoid calamity. At this moment, no one was willing to set themselves on fire.
After saying that, Chi Yunshi turned around and looked at Elder Cyanwood, “I want to bring back Power of Azure Dragon this time. As for Celestial Pogoda, True Monarch has also prepared a small gift.”
After saying that, he raised his hand slightly. A person behind him immediately presented a purple jade brocade box and opened it. Four streaks of purple light immediately rushed out from the box. An extraordinary Spiritual Energy also enveloped the mountain top.
“Here are four Purple Jade Cloud Pills. They were personally refined by True Monarchs.”
Chi Yunshi said calmly. When everyone below heard that it was the Purple Jade Cloud Pill, there was a huge commotion. Many people looked at the purple jade brocade box and drooled.
It was said that the Purple Jade Cloud Pill was refined by True Monarch Black Firmament from the morning and evening clouds of the North Sea. If a mortal consumed one, they would be able to become immortals almost instantly. Of course, it was only an exaggeration. However, this Purple Jade Cloud Pill could cause one’s cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, and even transform one’s bones. There was no doubt about it.
“Qingmu, what should we do …”
Seeing that everyone on Celestial Pogoda’s side was silent, the few elders looked at Cyanwood. The disciples were also looking at Elder Cyanwood without saying a word. Only Elder Cyanwood could decide everything here.
However, the pressure Elder Greenwood was under right now was beyond the imagination of the disciples. Not to mention the four Purple Jade Cloud Pills, they were even better pills. How could he trade Celestial Pogoda, who was related to Power of Azure Dragon’s lifeline, for them?
However, he knew that this was a “toast”. If he did not accept it, then the next step would be to “punish the drinkers”.
Now that Power of Azure Dragon was in Xiao Chen’s hands, Elder Qingmu had no choice but to look at him from afar. But at this moment, he was afraid that Xiao Chen would look at him as well, because he could no longer make any decisions now, and even if Xiao Chen asked him for help, he would have no choice.
But in reality, Xiao Chen hadn’t even looked at him. At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff. The people who were originally whispering also looked at Xiao Chen at the same time.
In mid-air, Chi Yunshi handed a purple-clothed man a glance. The man immediately understood and turned into a purple light that landed in front of Xiao Chen. He smiled slightly and said, “Power of Azure Dragon, present it.”
The atmosphere was even colder than frost. Xiao Chen did not go to see him and only said indifferently, “Did I say … I want to give it to you?” Only at the end of his sentence did he slowly look at him.
At this moment, the air seemed to have condensed into a layer of ice. Many people in the distance trembled inexplicably. There was also a flash of coldness in the eyes of the purple-clothed man from the Profound Firmament Palace, but he quickly recovered as usual. He smiled faintly and said, “Your elders have already stopped saying anything, haven’t they?” At the end of his sentence, he looked at Elder Qingmu, who was standing in the distance. The coldness in his eyes suddenly appeared, and it was obvious that he was exerting pressure.
Elder Qingmu’s brows furrowed and he remained silent, and Xiao Chen never looked at him.
Suddenly, with a “chi” sound, everyone in the distance was shocked. They saw that Xiao Chen had actually torn off the clothes of the Heavenly Pagoda.
“He …”
Many people in the distance were shocked. He took off the clothes of the Extreme Heaven Pagoda. This meaning was obvious. Could it be that he wanted to fight against Chi Yunshi of the Profound Firmament Palace by himself? No matter how capable he was, this was simply too naive.
Even Elder Qingmu did not expect him to do such a thing. Suddenly, in his mind, he remembered the words from that night: “I will take Power of Azure Dragon back.”
At this moment, Elder Qingmu’s body trembled slightly. It was unknown if it was because of excitement or something. Now that Wu Chen’s mission had been completed, and the arrival of the Profound Firmament Palace was completely unexpected, he could now hand Power of Azure Dragon over to the elders of the Extreme Heaven Pagoda. After leaving, he no longer had any responsibility, but he did not.
Because of that? Could it really be that a gentleman promises to rest until he dies? He couldn’t see through the young man any longer, but it proved that he hadn’t seen the wrong person.
Quite a few people from the clans and sects in the distance also began to discuss in low voices. It was not difficult for them to see that this “Liao Wuchen” was definitely not a disciple of Celestial Pogoda. It must be someone invited by Celestial Pogoda. However, they really couldn’t figure out what benefits Celestial Pogoda had promised this person. It was actually worth it for him to risk his life like this …
