As the Universe Turns - Chapter 181

Chapter 181 The Past Is Beginning to Come to Light

The night was getting dark and the candles in the room were extinguishing. Xiao Chen remained silent. Before meeting Hua Weiyang this time, he didn’t want to pay attention to anything. Now that he saw Hua Weiyang again, it was as if the silent memories of the past had gradually surfaced in his heart.

“Wei Yang, go back and rest.”

Right now, he could only deal with the things in his hands one by one. After bringing Power of Azure Dragon back, he would have to tell Daoist Gudeng about the White Infant. As for the life and death backlash on his body, he would make plans in the future.

“Mm …”

Hua Weiyang nodded his head and slowly stood up. He walked out of the house. Before leaving, he looked back at him but did not say anything else. He went out of the house.

The next day, it was dawn. The two of them set off for the Heavenly Pagoda again. After seven days, they finally returned to the Heavenly Peak City where the Heavenly Pagoda was located. Elder Greenwood and the others had actually been secretly protecting them from behind.

According to the rules of the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, non-disciples were not allowed to enter. However, Power of Azure Dragon’s contribution to the return of Hua Weiyang was indispensable. Moreover, because of her close relationship with Xiao Chen, Elder Azurewood had also lured her in and became a “temporary disciple”.

After returning to the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, Xiao Chen no longer had to worry about what would happen to the people outside, including the matter with the Danfeng Villa last time, including the Ye Clan and True Monarch Xuanxiao.

Elder Greenwood immediately led him to Daoist Taiwu, one of the Four Great Elders.

At this moment, the hall was filled with incense smoke. The smell of sandalwood gradually calmed one’s mind. At the head of the hall sat an old man in a green robe. The old man’s temples were gray, but his eyebrows revealed a heroic aura. Unlike Daoist Gudeng, he always looked like Immortal Jimiao in the clouds.

He was the highest cultivator of the four Great Elder, Daoist Taiwu. He had spent his entire life studying the Immortal Martial Dao, combining the Immortal Dao with the Martial Dao, and had achieved an unparalleled Immortal Martial Ability.

“Little friend Wu Chen, you’re here.”

Seeing Xiao Chen walk in, Daoist Taiwu nodded slightly.

Xiao Chen came to the bottom of the hall and looked at Great Elder, who was the leader of the four Daoist Taiwu. This was the first time he had seen Daoist Taiwu, so he was not as familiar with Daoist Gudeng as he was with him. At this moment, the majesty of Daoist Gudeng reminded him of the former Sect Leader of the Azure Mysterious Sect.

“Senior.”

Xiao Chen slightly cupped his hands, then took out the glass pagoda from his sleeve and said, “This junior has brought back the power of the Azure Dragon.”

“Mm …”

Daoist Taiwu stroked his beard, and his gaze was filled with praise. Naturally, he had already received the spiritual message from Elder Cyanwood.

With a slight raise of his hand, the glass pagoda glowed and fell into his hands.

After looking at the Veluriyam Pagoda for a while, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Junior Brother Lonely Lamp didn’t explain the power of the Azure Dragon to little friend earlier. Do you still have many questions in your heart?”

As for the Extreme Heaven Pagoda, there were indeed many doubts in Xiao Chen’s heart. Where did those Heavenly Word Realm disciples go a hundred years ago? Why did the elders conceal the truth from the shock that night? Also, why did the Heavenly Pagoda have to obtain the power of the Azure Dragon this time?

There were so many questions that he didn’t want to know anything. He only cupped his hands and said, “Since Senior Lonely Lamp has never mentioned it to this junior, it’s naturally not good for him to ask more. This junior will take his leave now.”

“Little friend, wait a moment.”

Just as he turned around and left, Daoist Taiwu reached out to stop him. Xiao Chen turned around and said, “What’s the matter with Adept?”

Daoist Taiwu’s gaze narrowed slightly, but he felt a little strange in his heart. Why did he sense a strange aura on his body just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye? Seeing that he didn’t seem to have any requests at the moment, he said, “It doesn’t matter. You can go back to Junior Brother Lonely Lamp’s side. Perhaps Junior Brother will have something to say to you.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen nodded. Originally, he had to go back to Daoist Gudeng to tell him about the White Infant.

After leaving the Grand Martial Pavilion, it was already dusk outside. Hua Weiyang was waiting for him outside. Seeing that he had come out so soon, he smiled softly, “I heard that Daoist Taiwu has extraordinary attainments in the Immortal Martial Dao. You came out so quickly, didn’t you ask for advice from a Daoist?”

Xiao Chen shook his head, “No, let’s go.”

“You, you, what do you want me to say about you?”

Hua Weiyang glanced at him lightly. Although he was smiling, he thought in his heart, you idiot, you put in all your effort to retrieve the power of the Azure Dragon for them this time. So what if you consult the other party for cultivation? It was not easy to see the leader of the Four Great Elders of the Heavenly Pagoda. Such a good opportunity was wasted on teaching you.

Actually, what she cared about the most was the life and death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body. Even though the other three elders had no choice, this Supreme Martial True Humanist had a deep understanding of it. There must be a way. Why didn’t she take this opportunity to ask the other party? It’s such a pity that she came out just like that. She had worked so hard to bring back the power of the Azure Dragon. If she had known earlier, she would have followed her in.

However, how did she know that Xiao Chen had risked his life to retrieve the power of the Azure Dragon this time, just to repay Daoist Gudeng’s kindness, so how could he make any requests to the other party?

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything further. The two of them walked outside. When they arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Chen lived, they saw that there were plenty of vegetation in front of the courtyard. Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. He didn’t expect that in the days after he left, even the vegetation here had grown more vigorous than before …

Hua Weiyang looked up and saw that his expression was a little bitter. He knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be here. The scenery here is also very quiet.” As he spoke, he walked into the courtyard.

Of course, it was not convenient for her to stay here at night. Elder Greenwood arranged another courtyard. The next day, the two of them went to Daoist Gudeng. Naturally, Daoist Gudeng also knew about the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. Now that he had come with Hua Weiyang, there was no doubt about it.

However, Xiao Chen temporarily didn’t want Hua Weiyang to know about the White Infant, so he let her stay in the hall while he went to the back hall with Daoist Gudeng.

“Little friend, do you already know something about the White Infant?”

Daoist Gudeng turned around. He naturally knew about the matter with the Danfeng Villa before. If he could get out of the Nascent Soul of the Violet Palace in Bie Lifeng, no one else knew what was going on. He might have guessed it.

Xiao Chen did not conceal anything from him. He explained the trapped Nascent Soul of Bie Lifeng in detail. After hearing that, Daoist Gudeng’s eyes revealed a burning desire. Even though he had guessed a little earlier, it was still incredible to hear the other party speak the whole story.

“Ignoring any Nascent Soul Laws …”

Daoist Gudeng’s hands trembled slightly. He had spent his entire life studying the Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul Laws were equal to the Laws of Heaven and Earth. But now, he knew that there was actually a Nascent Soul in this world. If he ignored this Laws, how could his mind calm down?

The Supreme Great Void Infant was the highest existence within the Nascent Soul Laws. Although the White Infant did not have any Laws, it ignored any Laws. The chances of the two appearing were actually the same. Could it be that there was no connection at all between them?

Even though he had spent his entire life studying the Nascent Soul, he was still puzzled. If he had to give an explanation, then there was only one thing, and that was that the White Nascent Soul should not have appeared in this world, because it had broken all the Laws in this world and should not exist.

Suddenly, Daoist Gudeng thought of something.

Existence? It doesn’t exist?

Everything in the world, what does it mean to exist or not exist? The White Infant itself was as if it was empty and real. Even if it didn’t exist, there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Xiao Chen did not disturb him. Only after a long time did Lonely Lamp turn his head and slowly calm down. This young man in front of him actually possessed a Nascent Soul that surpassed any Laws in the world. Was it a blessing or a curse?

After a long time, Lonely Lamp Zhen nodded and said, “During this period of time, I will help you stabilize your cultivation. As for the future, if you have any questions, you can come to Celestial Pogoda to look for me.”

“Thank you, Senior.”

Xiao Chen slightly cupped his hands. He wasn’t as unfamiliar with Daoist Gudeng as Adept Taiwu. In fact, he wanted to ask why Celestial Pogoda persisted in demanding the power of the Azure Dragon before coming here. But now, knowing or not was not important to him, so he didn’t ask anymore.

When he went outside, Hua Wei Yang saw that they had only come out for so long. He didn’t know what they had said inside, but Daoist Gudeng seemed to like the beautiful girl in front of him. He smiled and said, “Miss Wei Yang, I’ve been waiting for a long time. Do you have anything to ask?”

Obviously, he could tell from the moment the two of them entered that Hua Weiyang had something to ask.

Seeing that Daoist Gudeng had spoken clearly and had a good relationship with Xiao Chen, Hua Weiyang no longer took a detour and smiled softly, “There is indeed something that I would like to ask Daoist.”

Lonely Lantern stroked his white beard and nodded slightly, “What’s the matter, Miss Wei Yang, but there’s no harm in saying it.”

Xiao Chen also looked at her. Seeing that she was mysterious, could it be that he was asking about the life and death backlash in his body? However, Wei Yang did not ask about this matter. Instead, he asked, “Three hundred years ago, Daoist Master saw a strange person?”

It turned out that it was because of that person more than 300 years ago. Xiao Chen was relieved. Earlier, Daoist Gudeng had been extremely sad about his Nascent Soul. He didn’t want to trouble the other party about anything else.

At this moment, Daoist Gudeng’s expression became even more solemn. Even his hand on his chin remained motionless. Seeing his current appearance, Hua Weiyang had already guessed something.

Daoist Gudeng looked at her, slightly focused his gaze and asked, “I don’t know, Miss Wei Yang, can you be more careful?”

Hua Weiyang’s expression did not change. He still smiled and said, “That person has lost all his strength. In addition, I think … he should also be a young man with an extraordinary appearance.”

Among other factors, the person who could make Nianxiang Qin fall in love at first sight would not be an ordinary person. Wei Yang had guessed correctly on this point. Even Xiao Chen had not thought of this level.

Looking at Daoist Gudeng, there was a slight change on his face. It was as if a stone had suddenly fallen into an ancient well that was deeply locked, causing ripples to spread out. The events of many years ago had also slowly floated up from the bottom of the well.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Hua Weiyang decided what he had guessed. Sure enough, that person had been to Celestial Pogoda back then.

As Xiao Chen watched from the side, he didn’t know why Daoist Gudeng had such a look on his face. Could it be that that person had really come to Celestial Pogoda back then? Furthermore … it was something that Senior Lonely Lamp didn’t want to remember?
