As the Universe Turns - Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Meet Again
After hearing what she said, Xiao Chen took a deep breath. The seed of evergreen leaves could resist the backlash of life and death in his body. There was only one seed in the world that contained immortal life force. Since that was the case, how could the Heavenly Spirit Sect give this seed to him for no reason?
Fairy Su Wen seemed to have seen through what he was thinking and said, “You don’t want to give it a try?”
Xiao Chen shook his head. He thought about how Wei Yang had accompanied him all the way here and now he was going to the Heavenly Spirit Sect. If the other party refused to give him the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed, or if he wanted to make any requests, wouldn’t he let Wei Yang follow him for nothing?
Forget it. Rather than making another trip in vain, it would be better to leave more time to complete the unfinished business. Life and death have their destiny. Even if he wanted to die, he still had to go back to see his master for the last time.
Fairy Su Wen said, “You are so strange. Those people I saved in the past all desperately wanted to survive and fought for their lives, even if there was only a sliver of hope. Now that you have a chance to survive, why don’t you try? Could it be that life and death have become so insignificant in your heart?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and remained silent. Perhaps life and death were the most important things for ordinary mortals and xiuzhe. However, to him, there was only something more important in this world. It wasn’t that he underestimated life and death, let alone that he didn’t want to live.
Seeing that he was speechless, Fairy Su Wen nodded, “Well, I’ve told you the method anyway. I can’t interfere with your decision. If you insist on leaving, I’ll send you out now.”
“Fairy, I have to trouble you these days.”
Xiao Chen cupped his hands and was about to leave. Fairy Su Wen couldn’t help but frown, “You …”
She had saved countless people, but she had never seen such a person who looked down on life and death. At this moment, she did not know whether she was angry with this person or regretting for him.
Finally, the two of them left the Frost Palace. Just as Hua Weiyang was about to leave, he heard the door open behind him. He couldn’t help but be shocked. He turned around and saw Xiao Chen and Fairy Su Wen walk out.
“What’s going on …”
Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, thinking that even if Fairy Su Wen had the Heavenly Technique, it wouldn’t be able to cure Xiao Chen’s life and death backlash in just a month.
She knew that things wouldn’t be so simple, so she quickly walked up and asked, “Idiot, you … are you alright?”
Seeing Fairy Su Wen’s slightly displeased expression, she was even more certain that the matter was not simple. She asked, “Fairy Su Wen, the life and death backlash on his body … is it alright?”
“Wei Yang, let’s go.”
Xiao Chen looked at her and said softly.
“No, wait …”
Hua Weiyang placed his palm on his shoulder and injected a Spiritual Energy. He immediately knew that the life and death backlash in his body had not been cured. He couldn’t help but be shocked. He looked at Fairy Su Wen and said, “Fairy, what’s going on? Why is he …”
“Wei Yang.”
Before she could continue asking, Xiao Chen interrupted her and shook his head, “Life and death are destined. The fairy has done her best …”
“Who said I did my best?”
Fairy Su Wen glanced at him unhappily. At this moment, a figure wearing a black battle robe suddenly floated over from afar. “What’s going on?”
However, that person had been out for a month, looking for the Withered Spirit Child’s body. He had just returned today to take a look. However, seeing that he was still in his soul state, it was obvious that he had not found a suitable body.
Ku Lingzi came to the side of the three of them and looked at Xiao Chen. Then, she looked at Fairy Su Wen and said, “Don’t tell me you have no other choice?”
At this moment, neither he nor Hua Weiyang knew that the life-and-death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body was as simple as they had thought.
Fairy Su Wen flicked her sleeves and said, “Follow me to the hall.”
A moment later, when he arrived at the main hall, Fairy Su Wen told him everything. After listening, Hua Weiyang was stunned and muttered to himself, “A heart unique in this world …”
Ku Lingzi furrowed his brows. Sure enough, things weren’t as simple and easy as he had imagined. What he needed to care about now wasn’t the unique heart in this world, but how to obtain the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves from the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Otherwise, once this kid died from the backlash of life and death, the Three Lives Curse oath on his body wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of his soul’s extinction.
“There’s no time to delay. Let’s set off for the Heavenly Spirit Sect now.”
Ku Lingzi turned around and looked at Xiao Chen. He thought that it would be troublesome this time. The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s strength wasn’t low, and he didn’t have any interactions with the Heavenly Spirit Sect. The evergreen seed of flowers and leaves was nurtured in the heart of the tree. Everything depended on this brat’s good fortune.
Hua Weiyang slowly regained his senses. He looked at Xiao Chen and said solemnly, “Idiot, let’s go to Heavenly Spirit Sect now. No matter what, we have to give it a try.”
She had already made up her mind. No matter what, she still wanted to obtain this seed of evergreen flowers and leaves. As long as she had this seed, Xiao Chen would no longer be tortured by the backlash of life and death. Twenty years was enough time to find a unique “heart” in the world.
“Did you hear that?”
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Hua Weiyang tugged at his sleeve and said again. Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He knew that he could not defeat the other party, so he could only nod his head in the end.
The three of them bid farewell to Fairy Su Wen and immediately set off for Heavenly Spirit Sect. On the way, Ku Lingzi returned to the Soul Jade to cultivate and told Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang that Heavenly Spirit Sect was not an ordinary sect. Once they went to Heavenly Spirit Sect, they had to meet the Sect Master and truthfully tell him the purpose of their trip. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to obtain the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed.
Seven days later, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang arrived at the border of a mountain range. After passing through this mountain range, they reached the middle of the Middle Realm, not far from Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Spirit Mountain.
At dusk this day, the two of them arrived at a valley and were about to rest for a while before leaving when they suddenly heard sounds of fighting coming from the other side of the valley.
The voice became more and more intense, and it was getting closer and closer to this side. There seemed to be a large number of people. Hua Weiyang immediately made a silent gesture and said, “Shh … idiot, let’s go and take a look.”
The two of them moved and flew towards the other side of the valley. They landed on the cliff. The ground below was vast and sword qi surged up from time to time. However, dozens of black-robed men surrounded the other two.
One of the two was a white-clothed man. He was controlling a cyan sword and was fighting against five or six black-clad flying swords. The other was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. She wore a light red skirt and controlled a seven-colored bead in her hand. She was also fighting against five or six flying swords with great difficulty.
“How could it be her …”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t know the white-clothed man, but the girl was clearly a Spirit Luan. Why was she here?
Seeing that Ling Luan was here, Xiao Chen subconsciously looked around. He didn’t see the rest of the Heavenly Pagoda. How could Ling Luan have come here alone and been surrounded by more than a dozen people?
Seeing that these black-robed men had attacked ruthlessly, it didn’t seem like they were joking around. Seeing that he was engrossed, Hua Weiyang looked at him with a faint smile. “Here, your little sister Xiao Qing has been bullied. Why don’t you go down and help her?”
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand. At this moment, he seemed to notice that the auras of the dozen or so black-robed men surrounding Ling Luan were somewhat unusual.
