As the Universe Turns - Chapter 469
Chapter 469 Soul Transformation
Cultivating in the Heart Demon Forbidden Land was a very long process. There was not the slightest bit of Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi here. If he continued to cultivate according to the original method, even if he cultivated until he died, he would at most be able to strengthen his muscles and bones. It was utterly impossible for him to breathe in any profound Qi or break through his cultivation realm.
Xiao Chen had been sitting here for ten years. For a full ten years, his body had undergone a series of changes. His hair had grown extremely slowly, and his hunger had long disappeared. He didn’t even need to drink a single mouthful of water. He was like a “living dead”.
Ten years later, ten years later, weeds had already grown all around him, and at this moment, his state of mind was already beyond anyone’s reach.
Twenty years of dry meditation had allowed him to enter a state of “selflessness”. Not only was he distracted, even the people who had memories of the past in his mind had gradually faded away, even he himself had faded away.
Another ten years passed. In the new ten years, Xiao Chen seemed to have comprehended a higher realm. Suddenly, a sea appeared in his mind. On the cliff of the coast, there was a stone. A thousand years of wind, rain, and sun had never moved a single bit.
Half of an armor had already passed, and the twelve-fingered Heart Demon had never woken up since falling asleep thirty years ago.
Ten years and ten years.
In the fortieth year, water droplets gradually condensed near where Xiao Chen was sitting. The water droplets floated around his body like stars, slowly forming their own trajectories.
In the fiftieth year, layers of shadows appeared around Xiao Chen’s body. Occasionally, strange signs appeared around him, as if he had refined a piece of heaven and earth that belonged to him.
In this world, he was the ruler. This world was called the Heavenly Phenomenon Earth. According to common sense, only cultivators who had already transformed into spirits could comprehend it. However, out of a hundred cultivators, there were only one or two who could comprehend the Heavenly Phenomenon Earth.
Fifty years later, Xiao Chen’s entire body was slowly reborn. With a single breath, the clouds within ten thousand kilometers moved. He opened his eyes and it was daytime. When he closed his eyes, it was night. He let out a breath and could transform into ten thousand kilometers of clouds. With a raise of his hand, he could overflow the mountains with water.
By the sixtieth year, the deified aura on his body began to gradually dissipate, and the shadows gradually disappeared. His body gradually lost its immortal energy, and his hair had grown much longer. He looked like a mortal, especially when he opened his eyes, he was more like a mortal who had seen all the prosperity and desolation in the world.
A piece of armor passed by.
As the twelve-fingered Heart Demon had said, the seven mountain peaks gradually appeared in front of Xiao Chen. He slowly stood up.
Sixty years, it was as if he had snapped his fingers. Now that he was standing in front of the seven peaks again, his mood was much calmer than before.
This time, he no longer flew up the mountain as impatiently as he did last time. This time, he only saw his hands behind his back as he slowly walked up the mountain.
However, every step he took, his figure disappeared. In the next instant, it was already more than a hundred feet away. The lightning on the mountainside could not approach him at all. To him, the restrictions on the first mountain were already insignificant.
“A piece of armor has passed. Little friend has come.”
At the peak of the mountain, a giant sword stood out of thin air. On it stood an old man floating in Zi Yi. It was the old man from back then.
“I’m coming.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say much. The current him was completely different from the one who had just arrived here sixty years ago. Especially those two deep eyes, which he didn’t have at that time.
Thinking back to the past, he tried to break through the sword formation again and again, but every time, he was beaten by the old man’s sword qi, causing him to vomit blood and fly back.
“Mm …”
Old man Zi Yi nodded slightly. Now that he looked at this young man, his eyes were no longer cold, nor were they filled with regret. Instead, they were filled with admiration. He said, “It’s still the same as last time. If you break through this old man’s sword formation within an incense stick, then you can go over.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. A long sword slowly appeared in his right hand. To use the Qi Condensation Sword, he only needed to use his will.
“If you’re ready, let’s begin.” Old man Zi Yi looked at him and said slowly.
“Zheng!”
With a flash of sword light, Xiao Chen had already attacked the sword formation. This sword strike did not have any magnificent moves, nor did it possess the aura of a rainbow piercing through mountains and rivers, nor did it possess that earth-shattering might. Instead, it only possessed an ordinary sword strike.
However, it was just such an ordinary sword strike. The flying sword that was like a ten thousand meter tsunami slashed towards Xiao Chen was like an egg striking a rock. No matter how strong the sword’s momentum was, it was still unable to touch the blade of Xiao Chen’s sword. It shattered into pieces, breaking apart, breaking apart, and flying all the way out.
“What a powerful aura …”
The old man’s eyes narrowed. His robe was calm, and his white hair flew up from behind his shoulders. Facing Xiao Chen’s sword attack, he felt suffocated.
“Zheng Zheng! Zheng Zheng! Zheng Zheng!”
All of the flying swords in the sky were sent flying in an instant. The formidable sword formation that was originally impermeable to the wind was now in pieces. Following Xiao Chen’s final withdrawal of the sword, the entire sword formation completely collapsed with a “boom”. Countless flying swords, broken and broken, fell to the ground like scrap metal, dim and devoid of light.
“Good, good …”
Old man Zi Yi continuously stroked his beard and nodded. His eyes revealed an undisguised expression of approval. In the end, he smiled and said, “Back then, this old man really didn’t see the wrong person. With just a A, this little friend could have such astonishing accomplishments. I sigh to myself, this little friend can no longer be stopped here. Let’s go down a mountain.”
“Thank you.”
There was no joy or sorrow in Xiao Chen’s eyes. His entire body was calm and clear. With a flick of his finger, the sword had already turned into a sword light and landed at his feet, bringing him flying towards the second mountain.
When they reached the peak of the second mountain, they saw a magnificent palace standing there. Clouds and mist surrounded the palace, green trees and red flowers shrouded it. There was also the sound of flowing water. It seemed that the person who lived in the palace was also a very powerful Soul Formation cultivator when he was alive.
Xiao Chen slowly walked forward to the plaza and then to the palace. As soon as he stopped, the two doors slowly opened. A faint fragrance filled the palace with a chill.
“I’ve been waiting for Childe for a long time, why … can’t I stop?”
A woman’s voice actually came from the palace. It sounded graceful and moving, like a drizzle in March. It was endless, and it sounded intoxicating.
Xiao Chen slowly walked into the hall. The light on the hall was dim, and a woman’s figure could be vaguely seen inside. When he got closer, he could clearly see that the woman was lying on the side of the bed. She was wearing a hazy veil, and only her two white arms were exposed outside.
Although the light inside was dim, it was difficult to conceal the beautiful beauty of the woman. If an ordinary man entered the hall, he was afraid that even his soul would be hooked.
