As the Universe Turns - Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Profound Yin Body
After a long silence, Shen Jing finally said, “Legend has it that the ancient divine bird Golden Crow once inhabited a place. There was a divine tree called ‘Fusang’. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the tree, it would bloom with a flower that was as red as fire. It was called ‘Fusang Flower’. Only this thing could …”

“What are you talking about?”

Before she could finish her sentence, You Qin and You Chang cried out in shock. How could they be the only things in this legend that wanted to save the princess?

The divine bird Golden Crow had already disappeared in the previous mythological era. As for the Fusang Divine Tree, it was the same as the Undying Divine Tree of Kunlun. It only existed in myths. Even if there was one in this world, where would they go to find it?

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression also changed. He lowered his head and muttered to himself, “There is Fusang on the Tang Valley, bathed in it for ten days, in the north of Black Teeth, living in the water, there is Big Wood, living in the lower branch for nine days, living in the upper branch for one day … etc.” Note ①

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Jing in disbelief, “Is this really necessary?”

It wasn’t because the Fusang Divine Tree existed in myths and was hard to find in the world, but because he had seen it in ancient books in Xuanqing Sect. Why did he have to use it to save Wei Yang? Could it be that Wei Yang …

Thinking of this, his heart trembled even more. In an instant, he rushed into the cave. Inside the cave, he saw Hua Weiyang lying on a mattress, his eyes lightly closed, his chest rising and falling weakly. He had already fallen into a deep slumber.

“Wei Yang … Wei Yang!”

Xiao Chen’s expression was shocked, but no matter how he shouted, he couldn’t wake her up. He even wanted to use his divine sense to investigate her current situation, but even his divine sense seemed to be blocked by something, unable to detect a single drop of it.

When Shen Jing walked in, Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her, “Why is this happening?”

Shen Jing did not say anything. Instead, You Chang and You Qin rushed in quickly. When they saw Hua Weiyang’s current situation, their faces instantly turned pale with fear. The two of them were extremely familiar with this scene. For three hundred years, the Princess had been sleeping like this for the past three hundred years … However, they did not know exactly why.

“Wei Yang …”

Madam Xian Shu also quickly walked in. When she saw Hua Weiyang’s current situation, a shocked expression flashed across her face. She looked at Shen Jing and said, “Miss Shen …”

Shen Jing remained silent. The cave gradually fell into silence. No one spoke. Everyone looked at Hua Weiyang nervously. They even hoped that she could frown or whisper a few words in her sleep like the night before yesterday. However, she just slept there quietly, as if she would never wake up again.

After a long time, Shen Jing slowly walked over and looked at Madam Xian Shu, “Madam Xian Shu, please leave for now.”

Madam Xian Shu knew that she had something to say to Xiao Chen alone, so she did not ask any further. She immediately brought You Qin and You Chang outside.

When there was no sound outside, Shen Jing slowly walked forward. At this moment, she looked at Xiao Chen and wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to say it.

“Tell me, what’s going on? Wei Yang can’t fall asleep for no reason …”

“She …”

Shen Jing frowned. Finally, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “It wasn’t just because she was injured, it was only a small part of the reason. The real reason was …”

“What is it?”

Xiao Chen’s expression instantly became serious. Wei Yang fell into a deep sleep, but the reason for that was not because she was injured this time. What was that?

Shen Jing opened her eyes and looked at him, “Back in Butterfly Valley, you once asked me why some people were afraid of the cold. Do you still remember?”

Xiao Chen recalled carefully that he did ask Shen Jing about this once. However, he did not say that it was Wei Yang at that time. At that time, he only mentioned it a little. He did not care much about it. Why did Shen Jing bring it up again?

Shen Jing looked at him and continued, “Do you still remember what I told you back then?”

“At that time, you said …”

Xiao Chen recalled it carefully, but he couldn’t remember what Shen Jing had said at that time. Shen Jing glanced at him and then looked at Hua Weiyang. In the end, she said, “Body of Profound Yin.”

“Profound Yin Body?”

Hearing her reminder, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that Shen Jing had indeed mentioned this Profound Yin Body at that time.

“That’s right.”

Shen Jing nodded her head, “This was what Master told me back then. The Profound Yin Body is one of the rarest physiques in the world. It can resist any cold energy, that is, no cold energy from the outside world can cause its death. However, the cold energy in Master’s body is fatal.”

“You mean … Wei Yang, is she the Profound Yin Body?”

Xiao Chen couldn’t believe it. How could Wei Yang be a Profound Yin Body? Don’t tell me she doesn’t know? Why did she never mention it? Every time she said that she was just a little afraid of the cold, she would be fine after …

Shen Jing took a deep breath and nodded her head, “There shouldn’t be any mistakes. Normally, the life span of a Profound Yin Body wouldn’t exceed twenty years. However, there was another Spiritual Energy in her body that couldn’t be put into common sense. She had relied on this Spiritual Energy to survive until now.”

“Spiritual Energy …”

At this moment, Xiao Chen finally understood. It was as if his heart had been viciously stabbed by a knife. Wei Yang relied on this Spiritual Energy to resist the cold Qi in his body. This Spiritual Energy was her life, but …

The first time was in Xuanqing Sect, jumping off the Immortal Burial Cliff. No wonder she and I didn’t die that time.

The second time … the second time was in the Heavenly Spirit Sect. She knew that this Spiritual Energy could not be used at will, but in order to obtain the evergreen seeds of the flowers and leaves for herself, she went to repair the Spiritual Energy cracks as a condition for exchange. No wonder she had such strong Spiritual Energy at that time …

The third time, the third time was not long ago in Zhongyue Peak, she was trying to defend against the crowd …

“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is … It’s all for me three times! Three times! Xiao Yichen, you don’t know anything …”

At this moment, his eyes turned a little red. He looked at Hua Weiyang, who had fallen asleep, and shook his head continuously, “Why, why are you so stupid? Why …”

“She doesn’t have much lifespan left.”

“What are you talking about?”

Xiao Chen suddenly turned around. Shen Jing looked at him and said quietly, “I said … her lifespan is almost up.”

“Her lifespan is coming to an end … No, no! She is still so young, how can she die? She still has a good life, how can she die so old!”

Xiao Chen’s face was deathly pale, and his expression was somewhat excited. He suddenly thought of something and put his hand on his chest. Seeing this, Shen Jing’s expression changed greatly. In an instant, she reached out and stopped him, “What are you doing?”

“The seed of Eternal Flowers and Leaves … was obtained by her in exchange for her own life. I’ll take it out now and renew her life!”

“You’re crazy!”

Shen Jing glared at him and looked outside. Turning around, she lowered her voice and said, “The Eternal Flower Leaf Seed has already fused with you. If you take it out at this moment, the Death Qi will instantly devour you and you will die!”
