As the Universe Turns - Chapter 232

Chapter 232 As Motionless As a Mountain

The sky gradually darkened, and the people in the valley also left one after another. They only waited for the last day of tomorrow to see how this person could deal with the four elders of Mount Ruyan.

Tonight, there was no light in the starry moon, and the valley became even colder. The cold wind blew past, and the leaves kept rustling.

Hua Weiyang raised his head to look at Lingyun Island, which was invisible from the clouds. It was as if it was farther away from her than last night.

Finally, at dawn, many more people slowly came from the valley. From afar, there were many people standing outside the valley. They seemed to want to see if this young man, who could fuse with the Heart Execution Flame, could pass the trial of the four Elders of the Immovable Mountain today.

Chu Tianqing and a few other Elder Tai had also arrived at the valley early. Hua Weiyang hadn’t left all night. He was also looking at the 26th Layer of Cloudsoaring Island from afar.

Only Ling Luan had disappeared today. Jiang shi looked left and right and didn’t see her shadow. She thought to herself that this girl had been thinking about her all day. Today was the most important day, but why had she disappeared? Could it be …

At this moment, on Ling Yun Island, Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes. After a night of breathing, he seemed to have recovered quite a bit. However, he had challenged Ling Yun for two consecutive days. In addition, he had refined the Heart Execution Flame yesterday. He feared that it would not be so easy for him to deal with the four Elders of Mount Rushan today.

He stood up, kicked his feet, and flew towards the twenty-seventh level of the “zenith”. Many people below saw him fly towards the zenith and cried out in alarm, “He’s going up!”

“Rumble!”

At this moment, a few purple lightning bolts suddenly descended towards him. This was the restriction on the twenty-seventh level. Xiao Chen unleashed his Ling Xian Steps under his feet, avoiding the heavy purple lightning bolts and heading straight for the top of the sky.

After passing through the Thunder Domain, he flicked his sleeve and landed lightly on the ceiling.

“He went up …”

Everyone below held their breaths and watched with rapt attention. When Xiao Chen reached the twenty-seventh level, the four Elders who were motionless like mountains finally appeared.

The four of them seemed to have appeared out of thin air. They stood in four different directions. The one wearing a green robe was the Azure Dragon Elder, the one wearing a white robe was the White Tiger Elder, the one wearing a red robe was the Vermillion Bird Elder, and the one wearing a black robe was the Black Tortoise Elder.

These four elders had always lived in seclusion in Lingyun Valley and were only in charge of Lingyun Trials. Unless the Heavenly Spirit Sect was attacked by a powerful enemy, they would never leave the valley. Therefore, they did not obey the orders of the Sect Master or the other four Elder Tai. They treated the challengers equally and did not treat them differently because Xiao Chen was not a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.

At this moment, the cold wind howled in the sky. Xiao Chen took a step forward and cupped his hands towards the four elders in the distance. “Junior Wu Chen, today’s challenge to Ling Yun Trial. I ask the four elders for their guidance.”

“Mm …”

The four elders slightly stroked their beards and nodded. It had been a long time since they had seen a disciple who was able to reach the twenty-seventh level of Soaring Cloud Island. This young man in front of them gave them a very different feeling, especially the scene yesterday when they fused together to refine the Heart Execution Flame.

Even though they hadn’t appeared at that time, they could clearly see that this child had indeed not been able to reach the other disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect along the way.

“Are you ready?”

Elder Azure Dragon stroked his white beard and asked.

“This junior is ready. Please give your advice to the four elders.”

As Xiao Chen spoke, he slowly took out his blunt iron sword. This was not disrespectful to the four elders. It was because he hadn’t made any preparations when he came to the Heavenly Spirit Sect. Only this sword could be used now. If the Heavenly Sword that Ling Yin had gifted him was still there, it wouldn’t have been so hard to climb it.

But at this moment, there were quite a few people below discussing. Could it be that he wanted to pass the trial of the four Elders of the Immovable Mountain with such an iron-shattering sword?

This underestimated the four elders. If he didn’t have a divine weapon in his hand, it would be impossible for him to block the sword qi of the four elders, let alone cut down the trumpet flower on the top of the sky.

However, the four elders did not care whether it was a divine weapon or an ordinary iron sword. They had always treated each other equally. The Azure Dragon Elder pointed his fingers together and immediately condensed a strand of azure sword energy, slashing towards Xiao Chen.

This sword attack was extremely urgent. Xiao Chen instantly raised the sword in his hand to block it. With a “zheng” sound, the sword qi collided with the sword in his hand, causing him to immediately take a few steps back and his wrist to go numb.

Before he could stand firmly, Elder White Tiger, Elder Zhu Que, and Elder Black Tortoise also sent out sword qi at him. These three swords arrived at almost the same time, extremely fierce.

Xiao Chen was instantly enraged. The sword in his hand instantly shrouded in a layer of azure light, “Clang! Clang! Clang!” Three sharp sounds actually blocked the sword qi of the three elders.

However, this was only the starting sword stance of the four elders. It wasn’t that powerful. The next test was the real one.

Elder Azure Dragon suddenly soared into the sky, and a shadow of the Azure Dragon Totem appeared behind him. Elder White Tiger, Elder Zhu Que, and Elder Black Tortoise also appeared behind them.

For a moment, a strong wind blew through the entire Lingyun Island. Even the crowd below could feel an oppressive aura.

Xiao Chen formed an incantation gesture with his left hand and placed his sword horizontally on his chest with his right hand. A layer of azure light also covered his body as he focused his attention on the sword qi of the four elders.

With a swipe of Elder Azure Dragon’s finger, several strands of sword qi instantly slashed into the air. With the addition of the sword qi of the other three elders, the entire Lingyun Island was already filled with sword qi, and there was no place to hide anymore.

This time, the sword qi was extremely powerful. Xiao Chen no longer blocked it forcefully. He immediately unleashed the Ling Immortal Steps. However, the sword qi of the four elders who remained motionless was extremely fierce. Even if he was carrying the Ling Immortal Steps, it was impossible for him to successfully dodge it every time.

After half an incense stick, seven or eight more wounds appeared on his body. The blood on his arm slowly flowed down his palm onto his iron sword, and then dripped down the edge of the sword onto the ground.

He couldn’t even break through the defenses of the four elders, so how could he cut down the trumpet flower behind him?

In the valley below, many people held their breaths. How difficult was it to pass the trials of the four elders? Up until now, the four elders had only exerted less than 30% of their strength.

“Do you still want to continue?”

Seeing that he was covered in sword wounds, Elder Azure Dragon finally spoke.

Xiao Chen’s gaze was fixed and he remained silent. The sword in his hand slowly rose again. Elder Azure Dragon nodded slightly and didn’t say anything. He pointed his finger and a sword qi shot out, interweaving with the sword qi of the other three elders.

The four strands of sword Qi fused together and flew towards Xiao Chen like a hundred zhang Vermillion Rainbow. Before the sword Qi arrived, the sword wind had already covered Xiao Chen’s entire body, making it impossible for him to use the Ling Xian Steps to escape.

“Idiot!”

Seeing that this sword strike was so powerful, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but jump in fright in the valley below. At this moment, Xiao Chen was unable to dodge it, so he could only forcefully lift the sword in his hand to block it.

Clang!

With a loud explosion, almost the entire valley trembled. The iron sword in Xiao Chen’s hand instantly shattered into countless pieces and flew out. With the impact of the sword qi, his entire body lost control and flew out of the island.
