As the Universe Turns - Chapter 313
Chapter 313 Decision
“Heavenly Dao …”
Xiao Chen raised his head to look at the boundless night sky. Ku Lingzi slowly walked to his side. He also raised his head to look at the unreachable cold sky and said, “Comprehending the Heavenly Dao is a sublimation of one’s realm. Otherwise, one’s entire life will be lingering at a point. The Heavenly Dao is boundless. I once pursued the supreme realm, a realm that mortals cannot reach …”
At this point, he lowered his head and looked at Xiao Chen, “Brat, what do you think the Heavenly Dao is?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. At this moment, the scene of the Ancient Village and Ning Village being destroyed, as well as the countless villages in Dongjie that had been destroyed by natural disasters, appeared in his mind.
“The Heavenly Dao is quiet and far away. Ghosts and gods are at a loss … Heavenly Dao? What is the Heavenly Dao? The world is in chaos, people are like grass, natural disasters are coming, and human calamities are coming. This is the Heavenly Dao that all living beings believe in?”
Ku Lingzi did not expect him to say such words. Only now did he realize why this young man in front of him had such a rough fate. The Heavenly Dao could not be violated, and the Heavenly Fate could not be violated. However, he had to violate it. If he had not violated the sect back then, if he had followed the Righteous Dao back then, and if he was like Tang Yu, how could he have ended up like this?
“But brat, if you can’t comprehend the Heavenly Dao in the future, your realm is destined to only hover at one point, and it will forever be difficult for you to break through.”
“If that’s the case, then follow the will of the heavens and go against my fate. What regrets do you have in this life?”
“Brat, you …”
Ku Lingzi couldn’t help but be stunned. It was as if he didn’t really know this young man until tonight. Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “Senior comprehended the Heavenly Dao back then, so what now?”
“You …”
Ku Lingzi was stunned again. Hehe smiled and said, “Good boy, “You are the first person I’ve ever met. I’ve seen those people in the past who are eager to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and achieve a breakthrough in their realms. Yet you … are actually unwilling to comprehend this Heavenly Dao. Hehe, fine, I want to see how you will break through the shackles of your realm in the future. When your realm stops moving forward one day, will you change your mind?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and stopped talking. He recalled what his master had said in the past. Master had never mentioned comprehending the Heavenly Dao to him. Master was always so different. Perhaps she also thought that if one had to comply with the Heavenly Dao in everything, then no matter how high one’s cultivation was, they would always be mortals.
The cold wind blew lightly. After an unknown amount of time, a series of thin footsteps suddenly sounded behind the two of them. Xiao Chen turned around and saw that it was Shen Jing. He asked, “How is Si Que’s injury? Have you prepared the Nine Flowers Jade Dew yet?”
Shen Jing frowned slightly and slowly lowered her head. She said hesitantly, “The tune has been adjusted, but …”
“What’s the matter?”
Seeing her hesitant expression, Xiao Chen guessed that she must have encountered some kind of trouble. Shen Jing raised her head and looked at him, “Come with me. I’ll talk to you as I walk.”
“Alright.”
The two of them went back to the cave. Shen Jing thought for a long time before she said, “Nine Flowers Jade Dew, I only concocted one portion. It can’t be separated, but Guisi’s heart meridians are damaged, and his organs are also damaged to varying degrees. Only Nine Flowers Jade Dew can help him recover, otherwise …”
“Isn’t this just right? What other questions do you have?” Xiao Chen frowned and looked at her.
“No …”
Shen Jing stopped and looked at him, “I saw it for Hua Weiyang just now. She is in a very bad situation and needs the Nine Flowers Jade Dew. Otherwise …”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen’s heart sank. He muttered to himself, “How could this be” After a long time, he raised his head and said, “Shen Jing, can you make a second batch?”
Shen Jing shook her head and remained silent. After a long time, she said, “You can only save one person. Make your decision.”
“Really … there’s no other way?”
Xiao Chen’s palm trembled slightly. One was Wei Yang, the other was Guisi, but he could only save one person. How could he make a decision?
Shen Jing sighed softly. She took out a jade bottle from her sleeve and handed it to him. “This is the Nine Flowers Jade Dew. Whoever you want to save, make your decision.”
Ku Lingzi looked at him quietly from behind and said, “The Heavenly Dao has always been impermanent. If this is also the will of the heavens, do you want to obey or go against it now?”
Xiao Chen tightly held the Nine Flowers Jade Dew in his hand and did not answer him. At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the other side of the cave. Under the moonlight, he saw Guisi standing at the entrance of the cave at an unknown time.
“Si Que …”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He recalled that the conversation between him and Shen Jing had already been heard.
“You’re not well yet, why did you come out?”
Shen Jing immediately walked over, but Guisi’s face was pale. She shook her hand and looked at Xiao Chen, “Yichen, give the Nine Flowers Jade Dew to Miss Wei Yang. I … I’m fine.”
At this point, he smiled and said, “I, Guisi, have always had a great life. If I survive, I will be fine … Cough cough cough cough!”
“It’s cold outside. Let’s go in.”
Shen Jing supported him and walked back into the cave. Xiao Chen was still standing where he was. Hua Weiyang was in another cave not far away, but what was his choice now?
“Brat, aren’t you going to see her?”
At this moment, Ku Lingzi walked up. Xiao Chen slowly raised his hand and looked at the Nine Flowers Jade Dew in his hand. Finally, he went to the cave over there.
The cold air in the cave was very heavy. Hua Weiyang was wrapped in a mattress. Although Madam Xian Shu had continuously injected spiritual energy into her body, she was still trembling and her face was extremely pale.
“Wei Yang …”
Xiao Chen quickly walked over. When You Chang and You Qin saw him enter, You Chang said anxiously, “You’re finally here. Princess, she can’t hold on any longer …”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Who can’t hold on anymore?” You Qin immediately glared at him.
Xiao Chen ignored the noise and walked to Hua Weiyang’s side. As soon as his hand touched her forehead, a cold aura immediately invaded his body.
“How could this be …”
Xiao Chen’s face was slightly shocked. Madam Xian Shu looked at him and said, “Do you have any ideas?”
“I…”
Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. There was only one bottle of Nine Flowers Jade Dew. If it was given to Wei Yang, then Guisi would not be able to save him. This time, Guisi was injured because of him. He was injured to save Wei Yang …
“Is there a way?”
You Chang walked over anxiously and asked, “Where is Shen Jing? Isn’t she a medical immortal? I think I saw her concocting something just now. Have you finished concocting it?”
Xiao Chen frowned and finally said, “There is only one bottle of Nine Flowers Jade Dew.”
Madam Xian Shu trembled slightly and understood. No wonder he was in such a difficult situation. It turned out that the two of them could only save one of them.
“Then what are you waiting for? Quickly take it for the princess!”
You Chang didn’t care about that much, but seeing Xiao Chen hesitate, he couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, “What happened to you? Have you forgotten what the princess did to you? Are you planning to not save the princess? At Zhongyue Feng, she did it for you …”
“You Chang!”
Madam Xian Shu immediately glared at him. You Chang wanted to say something else, but was stopped by You Qin.
