As the Universe Turns - Chapter 357
Chapter 357 Mysterious Man
When night fell, Xie You Li and Luan Shili followed behind Xiao Chen and arrived at a cold valley. Seeing Xiao Chen suddenly stop, the two of them immediately stopped.
Xiao Chen slowly turned around and looked at the two of them, “When I’m done, I’ll naturally return the soul essence of the two of you.”
Even today, the two of them didn’t dare to say much in front of Xiao Chen. The reason for that was because the other party had always given them a feeling of being as heavy as a mountain. Sometimes, just a single glance would make them unable to breathe, and it was even more stressful than the four alliance masters of the Life and Death Alliance.
“Senior, the two of us will do our best to get what you need …”
Xie You Li lowered his head and cupped his hands. Now that they called Xiao Chen, they only dared to use the word “Senior”. It seemed that the death of Elder Azure Dragon that day had caused them too much shock.
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, “However, your cultivation is still too low.”
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them were stunned. Their cultivation levels were not low in the entire Earth-level Cultivation Domain. However, they remembered that the person in front of them only needed to move his fingers to control their lives. In his eyes, their cultivation levels were truly insignificant.
However, the two of them did not know why the other party was speaking like this. They clearly understood in their hearts that the reason why they were able to live to this day was all because of their value. Once they lost their value, there was no need for them to continue living.
After hearing Xiao Chen’s words, the two of them became a little nervous, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.
The cold wind whispered in the forest. At this moment, the two of them stood where they were. They didn’t even dare to breathe a single mouthful of air. Xiao Chen slowly walked in front of the two of them. Suddenly, he raised his palm and pressed it on their Heavenly Spirit Acupoints. Following that, an extremely pure Spiritual Energy poured into them.
“Uh …”
The two of them turned pale, but in the next moment, they immediately sensed a mysterious realm. At this moment, what Xiao Chen injected into the two of them was not a pure Spiritual Energy, but a domain that he had comprehended and imprinted into their divine seas.
Of course, even if he did this, it would be impossible for Xie You Li and Luan Shili to comprehend the Concept. Furthermore, it was impossible for the two of them to comprehend his unique Concept of Immortality. And by doing so, he would be able to temporarily help the two of them “open their minds” and comprehend the mysteries of the Concept.
At this moment, Xie You Li and Luan Shili could naturally feel that the two of them couldn’t help but feel their hearts tremble. They never expected that this person was so powerful. Even Elder Azure Dragon wasn’t his opponent, so he had actually comprehended the Concept! He was a Profound realm expert!
After comprehending the Concept, there was a difference between Immortals and Mortals. Cultivators from the Profound Comprehension Realm to the Upper Profound Realm could be called “Profound Realm Cultivators”. They were heaven and earth different from ordinary Dao Harmonization Realm cultivators.
Right now, the two of them didn’t dare to breathe a single mouthful of air. At this moment, it was as if they were a Nascent Soul cultivator helping the two Foundation Establishment cultivators comprehend the realm.
A moment later, Xiao Chen finally retracted his hand. A layer of cold sweat had already condensed on the two of them, but at this moment, they could clearly feel that all the meridians in their bodies were unobstructed, and their true energy was circulating without any stagnation. In a short moment, their cultivation had increased by at least several levels!
“Many … many thanks, senior!”
The two of them truly did not dare to imagine that in the past, they would need at least one A, or even a hundred years, to increase their cultivation. Today, with the help of the other party, their cultivation was actually so simple. Was this how terrifying a Profound realm cultivator was?
Even though this increase in cultivation wasn’t permanent, during this period, they could do many things that they had never been able to do before.
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them. Naturally, he had his reasons for doing so. He said indifferently, “Right now, no one below the peak of the Dao Harmonization Realm is your opponent. I’ll give you a month’s time. No matter what method you use, find the map as far as possible.”
“Yes … Yes!”
The two of them didn’t dare to say anything further. They understood clearly in their hearts that Xiao Chen had given them this cultivation level today. The other party could take it back at any time. Even their lives could be taken away easily by the other party.
“Go.”
Xiao Chen lightly flicked his sleeve and placed his hands behind his back. Only when he saw the figures of the two disappear into the night did he turn around and head in the other direction.
Right now, he needed to obtain the remaining map as soon as possible. That was why he helped Xie You Li and the other two increase their cultivation. He was not afraid of the four alliance masters of the Life and Death Alliance for the time being, but the only thing he was afraid of was the Heaven Rank Realm people that Luan Shili had mentioned back then. It was unknown who they were.
But no matter what, he had to do everything as soon as possible, because he had a faint feeling that the Eastern Cultivation World was about to fall into chaos. It was probably the most terrifying chaos in the past ten thousand years, and no one could escape.
“Wei Yang … Wait for me to come back.”
Looking at the increasingly heavy night ahead, Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Ever since he comprehended the Undying Concept, and ever since he came to the Eastern Continent, his temperament had gradually undergone some subtle changes.
Next, he wanted to find an uninhabited place to “temporarily enter seclusion”. Seven days ago, he had been injured under the Elder Azure Dragon Blood Curse, but he had not recovered yet. In addition, he had just comprehended the second level of the Undying Concept, the Life and Death Concept. In these past few days, his cultivation had been greatly increased. Now, he needed to stabilize his cultivation.
It wasn’t until midnight that he arrived at a secluded valley thousands of kilometers away. With a sweep of his divine sense, he knew that there was no one within a radius of a hundred kilometers. Fortunately, there were few people here all year round, but the spiritual energy was especially abundant. It was extremely suitable for him to cultivate.
Xiao Chen went to the secluded valley and found a hidden cave. He withdrew his aura and sealed the cave entrance with a huge rock. After placing layers of restrictions on the cave entrance, he dared to sit down and circulate his cultivation to regulate his breathing.
“As expected of a peak Dao Harmonization Realm expert …”
Xiao Chen muttered to himself in a low voice. He brushed his palm against his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. This was the blood clot that had been pressing down on his chest seven days ago. Only after the surroundings became quiet did he dare to concentrate on healing his injuries. How could Elder Azure Dragon’s blood curse be ordinary?
After seven days, his expression finally became slightly better. Next, he needed to stabilize his Concept. On the day when Elder Devil Flame Religion’s Ten Fire was chasing him, he quickly comprehended the second level of the Life and Death Realm. However, he didn’t know what the next level of the Undying Concept was.
Another seven days passed. On this night, there was no light outside. Xiao Chen was still comprehending the Concept in the cave. If he wanted to comprehend the third Concept, he would need an opportunity besides his cultivation realm.
However, Xiao Chen was still unable to figure out what this opportunity was. Therefore, it was difficult for him to comprehend the third level of Concept. As for the hidden injuries caused to him by the Blood Fierceness Curse, he had recovered by seventy to eighty percent.
That night, around midnight, a trace of cold air suddenly came in from outside. Xiao Chen immediately opened his eyes. He didn’t expect that with his current cultivation, he would wait until the people outside were so close. Only then did he realize that those who came were definitely not ordinary people.
“Who’s outside?”
As he spoke, a Xiao Chen appeared in Genuine energy’s palm. To be able to approach him so quietly, the other party’s cultivation might not be below his. Most importantly, his Life and Death Chase Talisman had already been lifted. The other party was actually able to find him. It seemed that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Haha … it is indeed inside.” There was a burst of silvery laughter from outside. It was actually a woman.
