As the Universe Turns - Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Conditions

Many Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples had come to the square outside the hall at some unknown time. At this moment, they were whispering about who the two people in the Nine Radiance Hall were. They actually wanted the Sect Master to personally meet with a few elders. Could it be from some large clan?

“Do you know who those two are?”

“I don’t know. I seem to have heard that Ling Luan is in danger at the West Ridge Mountain Range this time. It was these two people who saved her …”

“Oh? So it’s like this …”

There were endless discussions in the crowd. Under a tree in the distance, there stood a woman dressed in plain clothes like snow. That woman’s eyes were cold and she looked to be in her twenties. She was the daughter of Second Elder Chu Tianyun’s second son. Her name was Chu Yue’er, and she was Ling Luan’s cousin.

Apart from Chu Yue’er, there was also a red-clothed man standing on a pavilion in the distance. That man had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and an extraordinary aura. He was the eldest son of the Second Elder, Childe. His name was Chu Yi Ying.

The two of them could be considered the leaders of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Compared to Ling Luan, their cultivation was not the slightest bit stronger. At this moment, the two of them were also quietly watching the changes in the distant hall.

In the hall, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang had already returned to their seats, while Chu Tianqing sat at the head of the hall, continuously chatting with the two of them, their origins, and so on.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that Xiao Chen’s backlash injury was mentioned. Chu Tianqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. In just half an hour, he could tell that this young man in front of him was extraordinary. However, when the other party mentioned his background, he was a little vague. However, this didn’t affect his understanding of people. Even if he came from the mountains, this young man in front of him was much stronger than the disciples of many prominent families.

“I heard from Ling Luan that Little Friend Wu Chen has an extremely severe backlash wound on his body. May I have a look?”

Chu Tianqing looked at Xiao Chen. The rest of the people inside and outside the hall also quieted down. It turned out that this person had injuries on his body. He was not from any large family that came to the Heavenly Spirit Sect to seek medical treatment.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Sect Master.”

Under the gesture of Ling Luan’s eyes, Xiao Chen stood up and walked towards the head of the hall. Chu Tianqing also stood up and pressed his two fingers on his wrist. Not long after, he discovered the life and death backlash in his body. He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. How could there be such a powerful backlash on this child’s body?

This Death Qi … No wonder it needed the seed of the Flower Leaf Evergreen to defend against it. In this world, apart from the seed of the Flower Leaf Evergreen, it would be difficult to find anything else to defend against this Death Qi.

“Grandfather, how is it?”

Seeing that Chu Tianqing was silent, Ling Luan also stood up and asked nervously.

“It doesn’t matter …”

Chu Tianqing nodded slightly. This aura of death was indeed not something he could suppress. He asked, “Little friend Wu Chen, do you need the seeds of evergreen flowers and leaves to heal your injuries?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence. Many people’s gazes revealed slight shock. This person actually wanted the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves?

Outside the hall, many disciples began to discuss. What kind of ability did this person have to come to the Heavenly Spirit Sect to seek the seed of evergreen flowers and leaves? The Heavenly Spirit Sect only had one seed of the Eternal Flowers and Leaves. It was not something they could casually give to others.

The distant Chu Yue’er and Chu Yi Ying from the pavilion heard that this person actually wanted the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves, and their eyes immediately became somewhat grave. They all knew what the seed of Evergreen Flowers and Leaves meant, and even they could not obtain this seed now.

Inside the Nine Radiance Hall, seeing that Xiao Chen didn’t speak, Ling Luan’s face became more and more nervous. She hurriedly said, “If there wasn’t a seed of evergreen flowers and leaves, Wuchen … he would die anyway … in the future, evergreen flowers and leaves would also regenerate a seed. Grandpa, give him this seed now …”

The elders in the hall were silent. If someone suddenly said that they wanted the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed, they would undoubtedly refuse. However, last night, the Sect Master had already said that they would take a look first. Then, let’s hear what the Sect Master said now.

After a while, I heard Chu Tianqing say, “Presumably, little friend Wuchen should know that there is only one seed of evergreen flowers and leaves in our sect. It is of extraordinary significance.”

Xiao Chen said, “This junior naturally knows. I wonder if the sect master has any requirements.”

“Mm …”

Chu Tianqing nodded slightly. His gaze was still fixed on this young man. After pondering for a long time, he said, “It’s not like I can’t give this seed to little friend Wu Chen. However, I definitely won’t give it to him.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone inside and outside the hall was even more shocked. Could it be that the Sect Master really intended to hand over the seed of the Evergreen Flower Leaves to this unknown young man? How is this possible …

In the distance, Chu Yue’er and Chu Yi Ying’s expressions also changed. With a movement of their bodies, they arrived in front of the hall in almost an instant. However, just as the two of them were about to step into the hall, the next moment, Chu Tianqing’s words caused them to stop.

“Within three days, if you can pass the 27th Lingyun Trial, then you will be qualified to obtain the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed.”

At this moment, the entire hall became quiet. The 27th Ling Yun Trial … What did that mean? It was simply impossible. No matter how powerful his cultivation was, it was impossible for him to pass the 27th Lingyun Trial in just three days. If he wanted to forcefully break through, his life would be in danger.

Above the hall, Ling Luan’s face instantly turned extremely pale. How could the 27th Ling Yun Trial be possible? Wasn’t Grandpa deliberately making things difficult for Wu Chen?

She had spent seven days in the 27th Lingyun Trial, but she had not even reached the 9th Layer. Even Chu Yue’er and Chu Yi Ying, whose cultivation was far higher than hers, could only reach the 10th Layer. If she wanted to pass the 27th Layer Trial, it would be akin to a mortal ascending to the heavens. There was no need for her to think about it.

Grandpa had used the Twenty-Seven Layers Lingyun Trial as an exchange for the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed. This was simply making Wu Chen retreat despite the difficulties, because he had no intention of giving the Evergreen Flower Leaf Seed to an outsider.

Thinking of this, Ling Luan felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss. Grandfather loved her so much in the past, and he would give her whatever she wanted. But why was this happening? Why did he do this …

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and her eyes gradually turned red. Mu Baiyu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly beside her, pulled on her sleeve, and gently shook her head.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was as cold as ice. No one spoke. Everyone’s gaze was focused on Xiao Chen. No matter how powerful his cultivation was, this young man would not be able to pass the 27th Lingyun Trial in three days.

Chu Tianqing looked at him and said, “Little friend Wu Chen, what do you think?”

“Wait!”

Ling Luan finally stood up and said with red eyes, “Grandpa clearly knows how difficult the 27th Ling Yun Trial is. Now that Wu Chen is injured, how can he pass in three days? If Grandpa doesn’t want to give Hua Ye the Evergreen Seed, just tell him directly why he should take risks …”

The atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn. At this moment, no one spoke. The only person who dared to speak to the Sect Master like this in the hall was probably Little Ling Luan, who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth.

However, Chu Tianqing did not look at her at this moment. His gaze still fell on Xiao Chen, “Little friend Wu Chen, do you want to give it a try?”

“Alright.”

Facing Chu Tianqing’s gaze, Xiao Chen resolutely said one word.
