As the Universe Turns - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Still Unknown
“Little friend Wu Chen, come here.”
Daoist Gudeng shouted softly. Xiao Chen walked over and cupped his hands. “Senior, please speak.”
“Mm …”
Daoist Gudeng nodded slightly and said, “Sit down. I’ll pass on all of this cultivation technique and heart art to you first.”
Xiao Chen did not say anything else. He immediately sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes and forgot all the distractions in his mind. Daoist Gudeng arrived in front of him and his fingers condensed. A profound light immediately condensed and pierced into the space between his eyebrows.
With their cultivation at their level, there was no need for them to impart cultivation techniques word by word. All they needed to do was condense a divine will and infuse it into each other’s divine sense.
A moment later, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. Although he could not comprehend the Great Freedom Divine Ability in such a short period of time, it was deeply imprinted in his mind, and his memories flowed backwards.
Next, Daoist Gudeng would slowly guide him to cultivate this divine ability bit by bit until he reached completion.
Xiao Chen’s attainments in cultivation were similarly extraordinary. In just seven days, he had already grasped this technique. At this moment, he saw Daoist Gudeng floating in the air, his sleeves fluttering. He looked like a deity. With a swipe of his finger, a hundred zhang golden sword energy slashed towards him.
At this moment, Xiao Chen used his Great Freedom Palm Technique to control the sword qi for his own use and attack Daoist Gudeng.
“Rumble!”
In an instant, the entire valley’s Profound Realm trembled endlessly. Vegetation flew everywhere, rocks and mountains cracked apart. After a long time, the two finally stopped.
“Alright …”
Daoist Gudeng landed on the ground, stroked his white beard, and slowly walked over, “It seems that little friend Wu Chen has already mastered this divine ability. Next, he only needs to practice hard.”
As he spoke, his eyes were still unable to conceal that trace of fervor. In the distant past, when he obtained this ancient scroll, it took him a long time to comprehend it. If he were to pass on this divine ability to other disciples now, even if he was as talented as Feng Gufei and the others, it would probably take him at least a year and a half before he could comprehend it.
However, he did not expect that this young man in front of him would actually take seven days to comprehend. What kind of unparalleled genius was this?
Xiao Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “It’s all thanks to Senior’s careful guidance these days. Otherwise, this junior wouldn’t be able to comprehend the mysteries of this.”
“Mm … Little friend is being modest.”
Lonely Lantern stroked his beard and nodded slightly. In the past, he did not inquire about this young man’s origin, but now, he really wanted to know who his master was for such a young man. “Little friend, can you tell me which sect you are from now on?”
Hearing his question, Xiao Chen wasn’t surprised at all. He had expected that the other party would ask him this question, but his heart was filled with sorrow. Especially when he thought of that day at the edge of the desert, he said, “Our master-apprentice relationship is over” …
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the distant lake and mountain. He slowly said, “My Master … she is an exceptionally special person. She is always so cold and ice-cold, just like the distant stars in a cold night. But every time I get lost in the boundless darkness, she also guides me in my direction.”
“Mm …”
Daoist Gudeng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Hearing what he said at this moment, he felt that this young man’s master was extraordinary.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him, “To be honest, this junior … is actually not from Immortal North Ancient Realm.”
“Then you …”
Daoist Gudeng was a little unexpected this time, but after thinking for a while, he was relieved. In all these years, Immortal North Ancient Realm had never seen such an extraordinary young man. Unless it was the cultivators of the Ancient race who were hidden in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, this young man did not possess the slightest bit of arrogance that those Ancient race cultivators possessed.
Xiao Chen watched the expression on the old man’s face change. Even though Lady Rakshasa had repeatedly warned him not to let anyone on his side know of his identity, he didn’t think it was necessary to hide it from Senior Lonely Lamp. “This junior is someone from the other side of the desert,” he said.
“On the other side of the desert, that’s …”
At this moment, Daoist Gudeng’s expression became even more solemn. People like him naturally knew what was on the other side of the Desert of Death, and even knew quite a bit.
However, he quickly calmed down and looked at Xiao Chen, “Then you are …”
Xiao Chen said, “When I was young, I was picked up by Master. Afterwards … those people said that I was a devil.”
At this moment, he briefly explained the past, including the time when Xuanqing Sect had self-severed his meridians and crippled his cultivation. After listening to this, Daoist Gudeng revealed an expression of disbelief. No wonder this young man was always ice-cold. It turned out that his experience was so rough.
“Little friend, wait … you just said …”
Daoist Gudeng seemed to have thought of something. Looking at him, his eyes became a little surprised. Finally, he asked tentatively, “Little friend’s master … is he Azure Mysterious Daoist?”
Hearing him mention Adept Qingxuan’s name, Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. Senior Lonely Lamp was far away in Immortal North Ancient Realm, so how did he know about Sect Leader Xuanqing?
True Monk Lonely Lamp said, “After listening to little friend’s words, the only thing I can think of is Adept Qingxuan … Sigh.”
At this point, he let out a long sigh and said, “No wonder Daoist Qingxuan’s abilities back then were peerless. Even my three senior brothers and I are still unable to compare to him. No wonder … I’m afraid he’s only lacking the ability to become an immortal now, right?”
Xiao Chen hadn’t expected that Senior Lonely Lamp would actually meet the Sect Leader. That should have happened hundreds of years ago, right? Seeing that he was lost in memories, he said, “This junior … is not a disciple of Sect Leader Qingxuan. He is actually the junior’s ancestor.”
“Martial Ancestor?”
Daoist Gudeng regained his senses and was even more surprised. Actually, it was no wonder that Daoist Qingxuan had become famous more than 600 years ago, while Ling Yin had become famous more than 300 years ago. During these hundreds of years, he hadn’t gone out in Celestial Pogoda because he didn’t know about the Immortal Origin Central Plains, and a Fairy Yao Guang Shang Miao Yin had appeared.
“Sigh …”
He let out a long sigh and thought to himself that hundreds of years had passed. There were actually so many extraordinary figures in the Immortal Origin Central Plains. As expected of the birthplace of the legends of the Qing Emperor ten thousand years ago, and also the location of the Good Fortune Show of Zhong Tian and Earth. The Northern Immortal Ancient Realm was still incomparable …
After a long time, Daoist Gudeng calmed down slightly and asked, “Then, is Miss Wei Yang also from the Central Plains of Immortal Yuan?”
Right now, even Xiao Chen didn’t know where Hua Weiyang was from, but he still nodded. Daoist Gudeng stroked his beard slightly and nodded, “Good … Little friend, don’t worry, I won’t reveal your identity.”
“Thank you, Senior.”
Xiao Chen cupped his hands again. Next, he should leave.
When the two of them went outside, Daoist Gudeng stared at his departing figure, his heart still filled with emotions. The great era of the ancient prophecy was finally about to come again.
However, once this era passed, would the wax torch turn to ashes, or would it usher in an unprecedented era of cultivation? Or could it be that the fate of the entire Immortal Primordial Grounds had changed because of this young man … Everything was still unknown.
