As the Universe Turns - Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Spirit Mountain Crisis (2)

Chu Tianhe asked, “What method?”

Chu Tianqing said, “The first method is to make the clansmen secretly migrate within a year and find another place to build their foundation. During this period of time, avoiding the people of Yinshan Sect would be a bit difficult.”

“This is impossible.”

Second Elder Chu Tianyun immediately shook his hand and said resolutely, “If everyone in the sect wants to migrate on a large scale, not to mention whether they can find another suitable place, it will be difficult for their hearts to stabilize. When Yinshan Sect attacks, we will be in chaos and weakness. There will be almost no suspense about the outcome of this battle.”

“That’s what I’m worried about.”

Chu Tianqing looked at the four people below and continued, “The second method is …” When he said this, his brows furrowed even deeper. The four people below were all silent and quietly waited for him to finish his sentence.

“The second method is to use the ‘Spirit Sealing Array’ left behind by our ancestor.”

“Spirit Sealing Array …”

This time, Lian Xiaoxiang, who had always been calm, His expression also changed slightly. The Spirit Sealing Array was an extremely powerful Spiritual Energy Array left behind by his ancestors back then. This array could seal off all Spiritual Energy, so it could naturally seal the Spiritual Mountain and Earth Vein branches together. In this way, there was no need to worry about the interruption of Spiritual Energy, causing the Spiritual Mountain’s Spiritual Energy to dry up.

However, this formation was no small matter. The main formation required at least five people. If one were to be careless, it would end up annihilating both one’s body and spirit. Moreover, to activate this formation, it would require at least 10,000 people. Even Spiritual Energy, as a whole, did not have that many people right now.

If the formation failed because Spiritual Energy wasn’t enough, then the formation would be out of control and the entire mountain would be destroyed in an instant. No one would be able to survive.

This second method was simply too desperate. At present, Heavenly Spirit Sect wasn’t as strong as Spiritual Energy.

The hall once again fell into a long silence. Rather than taking the risk to use the Spirit Sealing Array, it would be better to let the clansmen migrate out directly.

After a long time, Fifth Elder Xiaoxiang suddenly asked, “Ling Luan went to the Extreme Heaven Pagoda for a year. How is her cultivation recently?”

“Ling’er …”

Chu Tianqing shook his head, “Although the Spiritual Energy in Ling’er’s body is sufficient to use the Spirit Sealing Array, there is no sign of her Spiritual Energy awakening at all, unless …”

“Only by combining Yin and Yang can she awaken the Spiritual Energy in her body. Is that so?” Granny Tian Qi said.

“Exactly.”

Chu Tianqing nodded his head, but his expression revealed a hint of helplessness. Ling Luan had only just turned 18 this year, so it was a bit too early. The Spiritual Energy in her body was no small matter, so it might not be a good thing for her to awaken early.

After a moment of silence, Chu Tianqing raised his head again and looked down, asking, “I heard that when Ling Luan returned during the day, she brought two people back? Were they the two people who saved her in the West Ridge Mountain Range?”

“Yes.”

Chu Tianhe nodded, “One is called Wu Chen, the other is called Hua Weiyang.”

“Oh?”

Chu Tianqing narrowed his eyes and said, “The last time she sent me a message, I saw her mention this, Wu Chen. How is his conduct?”

Chu Tianhe said, “Well … I’m not sure yet, but on the way back, I saw that Ling’er liked his appearance quite a bit. I think this kid should be of good conduct and not an ordinary person.”

“Is that so …”

Chu Tianqing gently stroked his white beard, as if he was deep in thought. After a while, he asked, “Then what is the purpose of this child coming to the Heavenly Spirit Sect?”

“I heard from Ling’er that Liao Wuchen has an extremely powerful backlash. Death Qi often appears in his body. He needs the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves to resist this death Qi. Otherwise, he might not be able to live long.”

“It’s actually like this …”

Chu Tianqing’s gaze narrowed once more. Just as he was about to say something, Second Elder Chu Tianyun immediately said, “No, if he saved Ling Luan in the past, we can naturally give him the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves as a form of gratitude. However, isn’t the current situation clear to the Sect Master?”

“No …”

Chu Tianqing shook his hand. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “Tianhe, make arrangements. We’ll talk about it tomorrow when I see this child.”

Chu Tianhe did not know what his intentions were, but thinking that Liao Wuchen had saved Ling Luan’s life could be considered a great favor. No matter what kind of crisis the Spirit Sect faced today, or whether or not they would give the Flower Leaf Evergreen Seed in the end, if they did not even see each other, it would not be appropriate for them to be reasonable.

The next day, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang went to the Nine Radiance Palace. Ling Luan knew that his grandfather wanted to see him today, so he was indescribably happy. He also came to the Nine Radiance Palace early in the morning. He thought that as long as his grandfather was willing to see him, the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves would not be difficult.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was sitting in the hall. Compared to yesterday, he was a little less reserved. Ling Luan jumped in front of him and smiled. “Grandpa knows your injuries, but you don’t need to worry. There’s no need to be nervous. My grandpa is fine. He will definitely convince the other elders to give you the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed.”

Hua Weiyang beside him smiled sweetly, “In that case, I have to thank Sister Ling Luan.”

“No, no, no …”

Ling Luan shook his hand and hurriedly said, “It was all thanks to Sister Wei Yang and Liao Wuchen that day. Otherwise, Second Senior Brother and I would definitely have died at the hands of those people from the Yin Mountain Sect …”

Before he could finish his words, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Chu Tianqing and a few other elders came. Ling Luan turned around and saw that Grandpa and two uncles were here. She immediately ran over excitedly and said, “Grandpa!”

“Haha! Little Ling’er, I heard your voice from afar.”

Chu Tianqing had always doted on this little granddaughter. Perhaps that was why Ling Luan did not behave like the rest of the Heavenly Spirit Sect all day long. She had to sit properly and stand upright while sitting.

“I haven’t seen you in a year. Ling’er, you’ve grown up.”

Chu Tianqing looked at the little girl who had grown up in front of him and kept nodding and smiling. In his impression, Ling Luan was always like a little girl who was not familiar with the world. He did not expect that the little girl of the past would be so graceful and charming. Perhaps she had really grown up.

“Grandpa, Grandpa, come quickly. This is Liao Wuchen …”

Ling Luan smiled sweetly. He didn’t care that this was the sect master and Grand Elder, nor did he care that there were many people watching from outside. He pulled Chu Tianqing over to Xiao Chen’s side just like that.

Xiao Chen and Hua Wei Yang had just seen Chu Tian Qing and the others arrive when they stood up. At this moment, they immediately cupped their hands and bowed, “Junior Liao Wuchen, greet the Sect Master.”

“Hua Weiyang, greet Senior Sect Master.”

Hua Weiyang smiled gently and cupped his hands, following Xiao Chen’s example.

“Mm …”

Chu Tianqing nodded and smiled. He had always recognized that there was nothing wrong with people. At this moment, he could tell that this young man in front of him was not an ordinary descendant of an aristocratic family. He extended his hand and smiled, “Little friend Wu Chen, Miss Wei Yang, there’s no need to be polite. Sit down.”
