As the Universe Turns - Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Administer One’s Life

“Idiot …”

Seeing him step by step up the stairs of the Frost Palace, Hua Weiyang finally couldn’t help but chase after him a few steps forward.

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. At this moment, scenes appeared in his mind. It was not the first time they met in Xianyuan Five Realms, nor was it Xuanqing Sect’s first trial of jumping off a cliff. Instead, it was every path she had traveled with him since she came to the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm.

From that ancient town, to the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, to the Heavenly Pagoda, Bie Jian Villa, to escape the pursuit of the Ye Clan, to the Ghost Tuoluo Mountain Range, and then to the Flame Flame Mountain Range …

Whether she would live or die, she was always by his side. She had gone through all sorts of storms, but now, she was going to the Frost Palace. It was hard to predict whether she would live or die, and it was hard to tell how she felt.

“Wei Yang …”

Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly and looked at her. “If I fail in the end …” he said slowly.

“No.”

Hua Weiyang interrupted him and shook his head, “I’ll wait for you to come out, no matter what.”

The wind blew coldly. The two of them stood there silently. After a while, the two women who had sent Xiao Chen into the Frost Palace said, “Palace Master, wait inside. It’s not appropriate to miss the hour. Young Master Wu Chen, please come in.”

Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. In the end, he turned around and walked up the stairs step by step. He didn’t look back any longer. Turning back again was only adding to his sadness.

Hua Weiyang watched as he gradually disappeared from the palace. He said to himself, “Idiot, when you recover from your injuries, I will accompany you back and figure out everything you wanted to know back then …”

Finally, Xiao Chen entered the Frost Palace. Under the spells of more than twenty women, the palace gate was completely sealed and could not be opened from the outside. Fairy Su Wen wanted to save his life, so she could not be disturbed during this period. Otherwise, both of them might be in danger.

Inside the palace, cold air invaded. Xiao Chen walked step by step along the corridor. At the end of the corridor, he saw an ice palace surrounded by cold air. Fairy Su Wen sat on a profound ice platform with her eyes closed, waiting for his arrival.

“You’re here.”

Fairy Su Wen’s calm voice came from within the Ice Hall. Xiao Chen walked inside step by step, “I’ve made the fairy wait for a long time.”

Fairy Su Wen slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man slowly walking in. Actually, she was filled with curiosity towards the man in front of her. She was actually able to endure such a life and death backlash. Back then, she had severed all her meridians, but now, her strength was even greater than before. Who was the one who helped him renew his meridians? So powerful.

“Sit.”

“Mm …”

Xiao Chen stepped onto the Profound Ice Platform and slowly sat a dozen meters away from her. She asked the fairy, “There has never been a life and death backlash on your body since ancient times and today. There is no record in the medical records. I will observe it for you first and then find a cure for it.”

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble Fairy.”

“No need. Take off your coat.”

Xiao Chen took off his coat as he said. Fairy Su Wen did not hesitate. She formed a seal with her hands and several streaks of profound light appeared between her fingers. In an instant, they transformed into countless threads that pierced into the acupoints on his body.

“Uh …”

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but let out a muffled snort. He instinctively wanted to circulate his cultivation, but at this moment, his entire body felt sour and weak. It was as if he had lost all of his strength and could no longer circulate it.

“Don’t disturb my ice threads with your martial arts.”

“Yes …”

Xiao Chen simply closed his eyes. After all, he had suffered a life-and-death backlash. His life was not long, and he didn’t care what he did. There was absolutely no reason for this Su Wen Fairy in front of him to harm him.

Two hours later, Fairy Su Wen pulled thousands of ice threads and her true energy transformed into countless strands that flowed through his body. Suddenly, she frowned. Obviously, she had discovered Xiao Chen’s restored meridians. If it was someone else, no matter how high their cultivation was, they wouldn’t be able to detect that Xiao Chen’s meridians had been completely severed, but how could she not detect it?

At this moment, her eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. She couldn’t help but think in her heart, “Strange, this method of meridian continuation isn’t right. Could it be …”

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and her expression became exceptionally serious. She asked, “You once had your meridians completely severed. Who helped you renew your meridians afterwards?”

Seeing her suddenly ask about her meridians, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and replied, “It’s a friend of I am.”

“Friend?”

Fairy Su Wen frowned even more deeply. “Who is your friend’s surname and who is he from?”

“This …”

When Xiao Chen saw that she was asking about Shen Jing, he couldn’t help but recall that Shen Jing had suddenly developed a shocking medical skill. Back then, she was so badly injured that her entire body’s meridians were broken. Even a miraculous doctor wouldn’t be able to cure her, but she could cure her. How could an ordinary doctor be able to do this?

He had even suspected who Shen Jing had learned from before to possess such a skill. But now, he could not tell Fairy Su Wen, saying, “That friend of mine is not an Ancient Realm person. He has also passed through the Ancient Realm in the future. I presume that the Fairy does not know him.”

Fairy Su Wen saw that he didn’t want to say more. Her gaze was slightly puzzled, but she didn’t ask any further. She thought to herself that there were countless techniques in the world, and there were countless doctors. Each of them had their own divine abilities, and the methods of meridians continuation were even more different. The method of meridians continuation on his body might not be the method of meridians continuation in the Nine Transformations. Perhaps he was thinking too much.

…

A round of Moon rose at night, illuminating the entire Su Wen Palace of the Tianshan Mountains. Hua Weiyang sat on the edge of a cliff in the palace, his hands clasped together. He looked up at Moon, as if his mind had been completely covered by the moonlight.

Just now, she had used her Spiritual Energy and You Qin You Chang to send a message. You Qin You often told her to return as soon as possible, saying that something had happened in the Immortal Origin Five Regions. But now, Xiao Chen was treating her injuries in the Frost Palace. As long as she did not come out, how could she be at ease and leave every day?

He sighed softly, as if the moonlight on the ground had turned into an inextricable worry in the breeze.

Unknowingly, a month had passed. At that time, it was already winter. The snow on Tianshan Mountain became colder than a month ago.

This month, Ku Lingzi had gone somewhere and had not returned yet. Hua Weiyang had been waiting in Su Wen Palace and would visit the Ice Palace every other day. However, the palace had been sealed a month ago and there was not a single sign of opening it.

At this moment, in the Frost Palace, Fairy Su Wen and Xiao Chen were standing on the Profound Ice Platform. A thin layer of ice fragments formed on their eyebrows. The two of them sat silently, and their bodies gradually condensed into frost, like the two people in the Frost Palace who had been frozen for a thousand years.

After a long time, Fairy Su Wen opened her eyes and scattered the ice fragments on her body.

After a month, she was already very familiar with the life and death backlash on Xiao Chen’s body. As she had guessed in recent days, this life and death backlash was in her heart. Any treatment method would not cure the root cause of the problem, and it would be useless. Even if it was cured for a short period of time, it would still attract the backlash again in a short period of time.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes and asked, “Has the fairy found a cure for the life and death backlash?”

Fairy Su Wen looked at him for a long time without saying a word, thinking to herself, how could this man be so peculiar? Ordinary treatments would probably be useless.

After a long time, she shook her head and said, “There is only one way.”
