As the Universe Turns - Chapter 196
Chapter 196 Ku Lingzi
Hearing that the soul in the altar had revealed the life-and-death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body, Hua Weiyang’s expression instantly froze. “What did you just say?”
“Hehe … I say, little friend, don’t you know what the backlash in your body is?” The old man’s sinister laughter came from the bone altar again.
Even though the other party had revealed his current hidden dangers, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change much. He only took two steps forward and said coldly, “Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is … how long can you live now?” The voice in the bone altar was always mysterious.
“What do you mean?”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang was obviously more concerned about the backlash that controlled life and death than Xiao Chen. On the contrary, Xiao Chen did not seem to care much. He only said indifferently, “Speak, what do you want?”
The mysterious old man said, “I don ‘t want anything, That old man Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t help but ask, imprisoned my soul for more than three hundred years, “I still have no choice but to send me to Patriarch Guituo to exchange for soul yuan. Hehe … If it weren’t for those two little kids’ eagerness to volunteer to send me to Patriarch Guituo, how could I have come out so easily? That old man Ye Zhiqiu definitely didn’t expect that I would still have an immortal soul after three hundred years …”
“So you want us to try and save you, don’t you?”
Hua Weiyang looked at the mysterious bone altar. She was very worried about the life-and-death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body. Now, she finally met someone who knew about this backlash. At the same time, she also got a bargaining chip. Naturally, it was the best.
As for Ye Zhiqiu, she also knew that she was the clan elder of the Ye Clan. She had devoted herself to studying the Dao of Longevity more than three hundred years ago, so she handed the position of clan head to the current clan head, Ye Guhan.
“Hahaha …”
The old man’s laughter sounded out from the bone altar, “You’re still a smart little girl. That’s right. Anyway, you guys are also preparing to pretend to be these two little kids and go to the Ghost Tuoluo Mountain. Why don’t you do me a favor and get an unseal talisman and unseal me? That Old Ghost Tuoluo’s Soul Devouring Curse Talisman is too powerful for souls …”
Hua Weiyang snorted and said, “Senior, you have a good plan. If we can unseal the seal for you, then with Senior’s ability, it would be fine if we left. However, if we were to plot against the two of us, even the Ye Clan’s elders would not be able to deal with Senior. How can we be Senior’s opponents at that time? Forget it, this deal cannot be done …”
“Haha …”
The mysterious old man smiled meaningfully and said, “Young lady is not an ordinary person. Are you afraid that I will murder you two?”
Hearing this, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. Could it be that this person could tell that he wasn’t from the Mortal Realm? What a formidable ability! What exactly is its origin? If it was so formidable, how could it have been captured by Ye Zhiqiu more than 300 years ago? More than 300 years ago, and more than 300 years ago …
Seeing that she was silent, the mysterious old man said, “I know that the young lady only wants a single sentence from me …”
“Oh?”
Hua Weiyang looked at the black bone altar and smiled.
The mysterious old man said, “Alright, let’s talk about controlling life and death first. Controlling life and death is divided into life and death. But regardless of whether it’s life or death, even if there is an opportunity, one can only master one of them. Either life or death, but little friend has mastered the complete control of life and death. It can be said to be unique in the world. This backlash is naturally unique.”
“Senior, how do you know about this manipulation of life and death?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen finally asked the question in his heart. Since this person knew how to control life and death, then he must know the fragment of the ancient Heavenly Book. Furthermore, he could discover with a single glance who the life and death backlash in his body was …
“Haha …”
The mysterious old man smiled. “Little friend, you don’t need to know why this old man knows about this manipulation of life and death, “You only need to know that controlling life and death is the only divine ability in the world. Now that you have the power to control life and death, there is no way that another person in this world can still possess this ability. However, there will definitely be someone who can control life and death in this world. And you are the one who can control life and death. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
So that’s how it is …
Xiao Chen roughly understood. Back then, he had comprehended the Ten Directions from the Book of Heaven. In other words, every divine ability in the Book of Heaven could only be possessed by one person in the world. Once this divine ability was mastered, other than that person dying, there would be no other person in the world who could master it. This was an absolute law. This Book of Heaven was truly bizarre and bizarre.
“Looks like little friend already understands …”
The mysterious old man smiled and continued, “However, there is one thing that you probably do not know. Although you possess the power to control life and death, every time you use the power of life, you will definitely use your own life to make up for it. This is an irreversible law between heaven and earth.”
“Wait …”
Hua Weiyang suddenly frowned, “Senior, are you saying that this life force requires your own life force?”
“That’s right …”
The mysterious old man continued, “You may not understand how powerful the power of life is. Unless fate interferes, it can revive the dead. However, the living … must exchange for the same lifespan. Every time you revive those flowers and plants, it will actually consume your own lifespan. Do you understand now?”
“Idiot …”
Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but look at Xiao Chen. At this moment, the expression on his face became very complicated.
Xiao Chen’s face did not change at all. “What about the power of death?” He said indifferently.
The mysterious old man said, “The power of death can take the lives of others, but if you think that you can make up for the loss of life force by relying on this, then you are wrong … Every time you use the power of death, the death energy in your body will increase by one point, plus the loss of life force. Hehe … You know how the backlash in your body came about now, right?”
Hua Weiyang did not expect the life and death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body to be so complicated. No wonder even her Lianhua Cherishing Insight Art was useless. She asked, “Senior, do you have a way to cure this backlash?”
“Hmph.”
The old man coldly snorted from the bone altar, “This brat’s backlash has yet to reach the point where he is terminally ill. A mere life-and-death backlash. If this old man had been at his peak back then, he would have been able to capture him easily.”
“Huh?”
Hua Weiyang thought to himself, did he mean three hundred years ago or even more? “What about now?” He asked with a smile.
“Right now … my soul is trapped. As long as I can escape, I naturally have a way. Even if I can’t do anything for a while, I know someone. In the world, if even she can’t be treated, then I’ll just wait to die.”
After hearing what he said, he even called himself “old man” one by one. This meant that the two of them had to undo the soul seal for him first. Hua Weiyang would not believe him so easily. He smiled and asked, “I wonder how to address Senior?”
“Humph!”
Seeing that she still didn’t believe it, the mysterious old man coldly snorted, “I, Ku Lingzi, these Ancient Realm children, most likely don’t recognize my name. What Void Refinement and Dao Harmonization … I thought back then, I could crush one of them with one hand.”
