As the Universe Turns - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Backlash Is Hard to Heal

The two of them left the town. No one chased after them along the way. Unknowingly, dusk gradually arrived and they left the ancient town. The mountain looked somewhat desolate. Xiao Chen finally stopped and frowned as he looked at Hua Weiyang, “What happened?”

Unexpectedly, Hua Weiyang did not feel the slightest bit nervous. Instead, he smiled sweetly and said, “I just met two people from the Ye Clan.”

“People from the Ye Clan …”

Now that Su Ye’s life and death were unknown, Xiao Chen did not know why she could still laugh and asked, “Did you fight with them?”

“No …”

Hua Weiyang shook his head and looked at him with a mysterious expression, “Guess where I heard from following them all the way in the dark?”

“What place?”

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious. Hua Weiyang walked closer to him and said in a low voice, “In the direction south of the Middle Realm, there is a Changyin Mountain Range, and within that mountain range, there is another mountain peak called the ‘Ghost Tuoluo Mountain’ …”

“Ghost Tuoluo Mountain …”

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment. From the sound of the name, it didn’t seem like a good place. He raised his head and saw that she was looking at him mysteriously. He asked, “What kind of place is this?”

Hua Weiyang smiled gently and deliberately said, “Don’t worry, listen to me first.” At this point, he paused for a moment and continued, “There is a master on the Ghost Tuoluo Mountain, known as’ Patriarch Guituo ‘. There are many disciples under him, and he is very powerful.”

Xiao Chen didn’t know what she was trying to say, so he could only listen to her quietly.

Hua Weiyang continued, “This Patriarch Guituo possesses a soul refining divine ability. He often absorbs other people’s souls and uses them for his own cultivation. It can be said to be both evil and evil. If it is placed in the Immortal Origin Five Regions, then it is the so-called unforgivable great devil. The first person in the Profound Azure Sect will go and do justice for the heavens.” At the end of his sentence, he looked at him with a faint smile.

Looking at the strange look in her eyes, Xiao Chen thought to himself, “Now that I’m not a disciple of the Mysterious Cyan Realm anymore, will I still have nothing to do to” walk the path of heaven “for others?” “And then?”

“Then?”

Hua Weiyang looked at him again and smiled, “Then your Su Ye will be saved.”

“Su Ye …”

Xiao Chen’s expression became even more solemn as he solemnly said, “Wait … you said that Su Ye is saved, could it be …”

“Aiya, you idiot, why are you so stupid?”

Hua Weiyang looked at him and said seriously, “I heard that the Soul Devouring Curse Talisman sealed Su Ye. Think carefully, how did the Ye Clan refine such a talisman? Naturally, it was refined by Patriarch Guituo. As for his relationship with the Ye Clan, outsiders probably don’t know …”

“I see …”

Xiao Chen seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and slowly looked at Hua Weiyang. She didn’t expect that in just half an hour, she had actually found out so many things in the town. No wonder she had the ability to play around with those sects in the Northern Region of Immortal Origin.

However, from what she said, Patriarch Guituo’s cultivation must be quite high, and the Ghost Tuoluo Mountain was even more heavily guarded. How could he obtain the Seal Release Talisman?

Hua Weiyang smiled and said, “It’s better to force your way through than to take advantage of it. Let’s go. Let’s leave this place first and I’ll talk to you slowly.”

At this moment, the two of them traveled several hundred kilometers forward, changing their paths continuously and restraining their auras to prevent the Ye Clan elders from chasing after them again.

After confirming that the people from the Ye Clan could no longer catch up, Only then did the two of them stop. Twilight had already arrived, and the clouds were rising in the horizon. Hua Weiyang found a valley to rest in and drank a few mouthfuls of spring water. Then, he sat down and slowly said, “Idiot, I tell you, this Ye Clan has a good relationship with Ghost Tuoluo Mountain. Outsiders probably don’t know that on the 15th of next month, the Ye Clan will send two people to Ghost Tuoluo Mountain to deliver pills and souls to Patriarch Guituo.”

Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly. “You mean … when the time comes, we’ll disguise ourselves as the two of them and sneak into Ghost Tuoluo Mountain?” After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said, “That’s fine … I just have to wait until the 15th of next month. I’m afraid of Su Ye …”

Hua Weiyang shook his head and said, “There is no other way. The Ghost Tuoluo Mountain is heavily guarded. That Patriarch Guituo’s cultivation has already reached the Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm. He is stronger than the Crimson Cloud Envoy from the Profound Firmament Palace last time. It is almost impossible for us to sneak in, let alone obtain the Seal Release Talisman from him.”

Seeing that there was still worry on his face, Hua Weiyang continued, “Don’t worry, the three curse symbols that entered Su Ye’s origin soul are Soul Devouring Curse Symbols refined by Patriarch Guituo. Although they are powerful, it will take at least three months for Su Ye to enter the Fuxi Zither to cultivate and release the curse symbols. Three months is enough for us to obtain the Seal Release Symbols.”

“Alright …”

Xiao Chen nodded. Wei Yang had always been smart. Fortunately, she accompanied him along the way. Otherwise, he would not know what to do by himself.

Hua Weiyang smiled softly. “Of course, just leave these small things to me now. If anything big happens in the future, I’ll listen to you.”

After a moment of silence, she said, “Actually, compared to Su Ye, I’m more worried about you …”

“I… What do I need?”

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and slowly walked to the side of the stream. He lowered his head and looked at the reflection in the water. The strand of white hair on his head had unknowingly increased.

“Uh …”

Suddenly, a strand of death energy rushed up between his eyebrows. Following that, his expression quickly darkened, and a strand of black gas appeared in his palm. Obviously, this life and death backlash had broken out again.

“Idiot!”

Hua Weiyang was shocked and was about to reach out to support him. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pushed her away, “Don’t come near me …”

The nearby plants and trees gradually withered. Hua Weiyang could no longer care about that much. He formed a seal on his hand and injected a strand of spiritual energy into his body, “Let’s go!” With that, he supported him and flew into the depths of the valley.

In the depths of the valley, the night gradually fell. A crescent moon slowly rose from the horizon. Hua Weiyang found a hidden cave and sealed the entrance. He immediately used the “Lian Hua Xi Yi Art” to suppress this life and death backlash for him.

It was only at midnight that the life-and-death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body was finally suppressed. However, it was only temporary.

“Are you feeling better?”

Hua Weiyang looked at him nervously. Originally, the Lianhua Cherishing Insight Art was an ancient art left behind by Qing Emperor. Normally, it could heal any injuries in the world, especially backlash injuries. However, it had no effect on this life and death backlash. Every time, it could only temporarily suppress the backlash, and the effect would definitely be much weaker next time.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. His complexion was still a little pale. Seeing her work for him in the middle of the night, he felt a little guilty. He slowly said, “Wei Yang, I’m really fine. I can suppress this backlash myself. You don’t have to help me every time …”

“Idiot, stop talking …”

Hua Weiyang shook his head, stopping him from continuing. She had suppressed this life and death backlash for him so many times. How could she not know that this life and death backlash was not an ordinary backlash?

Every time he had a backlash, it would be even more serious than the previous one. If this continued, if he could not be completely cured, one day he would be killed. The terrifying manipulation of life and death was not something the two of them could imagine.

The two of them sat in the cave with their own worries. After a long time, Xiao Chen said, “Wei Yang, you go out first. I’ll circulate my cultivation to regulate my breathing.”

“Mm …”

Hua Weiyang nodded slightly. He didn’t bother him anymore and walked out of the cave alone.

After she left, Xiao Chen began to slowly meditate. Even now, it was difficult for him to fully comprehend the remnant of the Heavenly Book. Even though the Heavenly Book had greatly increased his cultivation, the current Xiao Chen was already comparable to two four hundred year old Dao Cultivators. Who could believe it? Not long after, even a Void Refining and Dao Harmonization Realm expert would be able to compete for sharpness.

But the life and death backlash in his body, As his cultivation level increased, it became more and more serious. Gradually, it became a hidden danger buried in his body. It could erupt at any time. Now, he could still temporarily suppress it with the Jade Light Heart Technique and Wei Yang’s Lianhua Cherishing Insight Art. However, if one day, this backlash went out of control, it could kill him at any time.

The night was getting colder and colder. Outside the cave, Hua Weiyang was in a gloomy mood. He came to a lake and slowly sat down.

A gentle breeze blew, and the surface of the water sparkled. She sighed softly. She didn’t know how to cure Xiao Chen’s backlash. Although she possessed such a miraculous skill as the Lianhua Cherishing Insight Art, she didn’t know anything about medicine.

If she was in the Immortal Origin Five Regions, she could have mobilized everyone in the Lianhua Palace to find a cure for Xiao Chen’s injuries. But now that she was in the Immortal North Ancient Realm, who was she looking for? Originally, he thought that the elders of the Extreme Heaven Pagoda would be able to treat Xiao Chen’s injuries, but now, it seemed that even the Four Great Elders would not be able to cure Xiao Chen’s backlash injuries.

She sighed again and her mood became even more annoying. However, at this moment, she seemed to have finally thought of something. Right now, there was nothing else she could do. The Northern Immortal Ancient Realm was far away from the Immortal Origin Five Regions, so she could only give it a try for now.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the cave behind her. After confirming that Xiao Chen would not come out, she immediately carved a simple formation on the ground. As she chanted incantations, the formation finally lit up. Then, a half-zhang light screen appeared. The scene inside the light screen was like the Lianhua Palace.

“Success …”

Perhaps because of the purity of Spiritual Energy, Hua Weiyang had never expected that the Spiritual Energy Formation would finally succeed. Two figures suddenly appeared in the light screen. They were her trusted aides, You Qin and You Chang.

“Princess … Your Highness!”

In the scene, You Qin and You Chang were also shocked. They didn’t expect that the princess who had been missing for many days would suddenly open the Spiritual Energy Formation tonight. You Chang quickly said, “Princess, where are you now? Your subordinate will immediately come to find you!”

“You don’t have to look for me,” said Hua Weiyang. “I’m in the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm, so you can’t come.”

“Immortal North Ancient Realm …”

In the scene, both of them were stunned. How could His Highness the Princess have run so far? You Qin said anxiously, “Princess, come back quickly. If the High Priest finds out that His Highness the Second Prince is helping you sneak out, I’m afraid …”
