As the Universe Turns - Chapter 217
Chapter 217 Life
Hearing her say that there was only one way to cure the life and death backlash on his body, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown and ask, “What method?”
“Change your heart.”
“Heart swap?”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel his entire body tremble. This was too unbelievable. Fairy Su Wen’s face was still as still as water. She said, “That’s right, only by changing your heart can you completely’cure ‘the life and death backlash on your body.”
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen still felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. Heart swap … Could it be that he wanted to swap someone else’s heart?
Fairy Su Wen seemed to have seen through his doubts and shook her head, “It’s not that I want you to change someone else’s heart. How can an ordinary person’s heart change on you? If it can cure your life and death backlash so easily, why would Ku Lingzi come looking for me?”
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked, “What does Fairy mean?”
Fairy Su Wen said, “The world is so big that there are all sorts of wonders. You need a unique’heart ‘in this world. For example, in the west of Kunlun, there is an Undying Wood. If you can obtain the heart of the Undying Wood, you can refine the heart you need …”
“Undying Wood …”
Xiao Chen felt even more puzzled. Fairy Su Wen said, “That’s right. It is said that there is an Immortal World to the west of Kunlun. In the Immortal World, there is an Undying God Tree called ‘Ganmu’. This Ganmu Heart can replace your heart. However, these are all legends from the ancient times. Even if there really is one in the world, it seems that with my current cultivation, I am unable to refine a heart for you.”
“Then isn’t what Fairy said meaningless?”
“No.”
Fairy Su Wen looked at him and said, “I’m just telling you, the hearts of ordinary people cannot be replaced by yours. Only the most special and unique hearts in the world can replace yours. Apart from the legendary heart of sweet wood, there is another kind of unique heart in this world. It’s called the Undying Seven-apertured Exquisite Heart, and it can also replace yours.”
“Undying Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart …”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had never heard of such a heart. Was there really such a peculiar heart in this world?
Fairy Su Wen said, “According to the ancient books, the Undying Seven-apertured Exquisite Heart does exist in this world, but whether you can find it depends on your fortune. Of course, there are other’special hearts’ in this world besides the Undying Seven-apertured Exquisite Heart. There is only one in this world. If you can find one of them, I can change your heart for you.”
Xiao Chen gradually fell into deep thought. Such a peculiar heart was unique in this world. There was only one left. In the vast world, how could he find it? If he couldn’t change his heart, even Fairy Su Wen wouldn’t be able to cure his life and death backlash, could it really be his own life?
“May I ask Fairy, where did the backlash from I am come from?”
In the past, he had always thought that it was because of the fragment of the Heavenly Book and the manipulation of life and death that he was reversed by the power of life and death. However, at this moment, he felt that things might not be that simple. The same Heavenly Book, the same divine ability, if it was another person, that person might not necessarily be reversed.
Fairy Su Wen looked at him. She also felt that this man in front of her was a miracle in this world. He actually possessed the heaven-defying ability to control life and death. Unfortunately, he suffered the backlash of life and death.
“This is your life.”
After a long silence, Fairy Su Wen only said this.
“My life?”
“That’s right, this is your life.”
The two of them fell into silence. After a long time, Fairy Su Wen said, “If you can find a heart unique to this world, you can change your life. But the price … you and I do not know now.”
“The price …”
Xiao Chen hadn’t expected that it would be extremely difficult to find such a unique heart in this world. Now, there was actually a price to pay to change one’s heart. Could it be that this was truly a life that he couldn’t change?
Fairy Su Wen said, “Whether it is changing hearts or changing fate, they all go against the heavens. The heavens and the earth are boundless. People are like the wind blowing the dust, and the heavens are vast. How can mortals pry into them?”
“If according to Fairy’s wishes, if I don’t change my mind, then I will undoubtedly die?”
“He will die without a doubt.”
Fairy Su Wen looked at him with certainty. After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen suddenly smiled and said, “Since it’s fate, then so be it.”
Seeing that he suddenly became calm, Fairy Su Wen couldn’t help but frown and ask, “You don’t plan to change your heart, nor do you plan to change your life?”
A doctor was a doctor. If he couldn’t cure a person, it would become a knot in his heart forever. So now, Fairy Su Wen really wanted to cure him. She wanted to see if this unique miracle in the world would appear on this man.
Xiao Chen said, “It is the will of heaven. It is against my fate. Just because I do not change my fate does not mean that I have to accept it. Ever since ancient times, there has been no Immortal Devil Divine Buddha. Even if I still cannot escape my fate in the end, I have never regretted coming here in this life.”
Hearing him slowly finish speaking, Fairy Su Wen suddenly looked at him with a different gaze.
The people she met who came to see a doctor in the past, Whether it was a giant or a nameless person, those people were all begging her to cure him. Even at all costs, they did not choose any means. This was not strange, because survival was a person’s instinct. However, this man in front of him was different from those people. Did he really look down on life and death?
At this moment, she wanted to cure the man in front of her. More than ever, she wanted to cure a person. This was the heart of a doctor. Strictly speaking, Xiao Chen was her patient now. If she couldn’t cure this person, it would inevitably become a knot in her heart.
Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and bowed slightly to her. “I have to trouble Fairy for this period of time, and I am doesn’t dare to disturb her any longer.”
“Wait!”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Fairy Su Wen suddenly reached out her hand to stop him and said, “If you go out like this, your lifespan will be exhausted under the backlash of life and death in less than three years. Even if you find that unique heart in this world, you will have long since lost your ability to return to the heavens.”
“Then … Fairy still has a way?”
Xiao Chen stopped again. Fairy Su Wen looked at him and said, “You go to the Heavenly Spirit Sect.”
“Heavenly Spirit Sect?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Fairy Su Wen nodded slightly and said, “The Heavenly Spirit Sect is 10,000 kilometers away from here. It is far away from the Middle-level Spirit Mountain. If you are fast enough, you will be able to arrive within a month. In the Heavenly Spirit Sect, there is a divine tree of life, ‘Evergreen Flowers and Leaves’. You need a seed of evergreen Flowers to resist the backlash in your body.”
“Heavenly Spirit Sect … Flowers and leaves are forever young.”
“That’s right.”
Fairy Su Wen continued, “The seed of evergreen, With the immortal power of life in this world, only such a seed of life can resist the power of death in your body. If you plant this seed into your body, it will extend your life by at least twenty years. In these twenty years, you only need to find the unique’heart ‘in this world, and you will be able to live. There is no other way. “
