As the Universe Turns - Chapter 486
Chapter 486 Leave
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He immediately followed her in the direction where he had come from. Now that the Immortal Alliance had set up the Heaven Sealing Array everywhere, it was naturally impossible for them to come and go as freely as before. However, with the Immortal Alliance Token in their hands, they didn’t have to face too much trouble and wouldn’t encounter too many obstacles.
Half a month later, the two of them passed through the ancient plank road and returned to the Earth Realm. On this evening, they arrived in Yun Nation.
At dusk, Xiao Chen stopped. He recalled that he had been chased down by Elder Ten Fire of Devil Flame Religion. At that time, he had almost died by Xuan Yunzi and the others. However, Xuan Yunzi and the others were only at the Dao Harmonization Realm and hadn’t even reached the Profound Enlightenment Realm yet.
It seemed like the twelve-fingered Heart Demon had said that when he reached a higher realm one day, he would look back and discover that the so-called strong enemies of the past were no longer worth mentioning.
If it weren’t for his sixty years in the Forbidden Land of Heart Demons, how could he have such a cultivation? But now, he had only comprehended the Soul Formation, and had yet to truly become a Soul Formation cultivator. However, his strength was already much stronger than those pseudo Soul Formation cultivators who could not transform bones.
Luo Die also stopped. She was naturally extremely familiar with Yun Nation. After all, in the past, she had also been the Myriad Butterflies Valley Master in the Life and Death Alliance for so many years.
But now, she would not return to the Life and Death Alliance. She had nothing to do with Dao Wuwei, the Immortal Alliance, or the Life and Death Alliance. Besides her surname, she had nothing to do with anyone else in the past.
She hadn’t returned home. Perhaps, she had to forget about that clan before she could survive. Although the Yue Clan had been annihilated, the hatred in her heart had never dissipated.
Every night, she seemed to dream that her father’s face was covered in blood, asking her to take revenge, asking her to take revenge again and again … then her true enemy would definitely still be alive.
However, she could not find the butler who had rushed out with all his might. Back then, after she had grown up and learned all of her clothes, she had tried to find the butler. However, the butler seemed to have disappeared from the world. There was no news of him at all.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Chen stood at the side and asked when he saw her strange expression.
Luo Die finally regained her senses and shook her head, “No … nothing much, just thinking back to when we left here, thinking back to the people from the Life and Death Alliance, the East Leave Alliance Master …”
“Do you still want to go back?”
“No, I’m not going back.”
Luo Die shook her head and smiled. She then turned around to look at him and said, “Let’s go. With the Immortal Alliance Token in front of us, we won’t encounter too many obstacles.”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. The two of them set off for the Mortal Realm. Half a month later, Xiao Chen finally returned to where he had come from. Some of the Mortal Realm countries of the past had already collapsed, leaving only the ground in ruins.
He suddenly remembered that when he first came here, the first person he knew was called Xu Hao. Back then, the two of them had fled the Mortal Realm all the way, so they could be considered to have shared the same tribulation. However, he didn’t know where Xu Hao was now.
…
Three days later, at dusk, Luo Die found a large ship for him. Today, the sea was calm. Placing the ship on the sea, one could see that the sky was tens of thousands of kilometers dark and the sun was hanging obliquely. The waves gently slapped the ship’s side, giving it a feeling of farewell.
Luo Die turned around and quietly looked at him. Recalling this period of time, she said that it wasn’t long, that it wasn’t short, and that it was almost two years. However, the life and death experiences of the two of them seemed to be endless at this moment.
“Uh … are you leaving now?”
“The matter is over. It’s useless to stay any longer.”
Xiao Chen walked up and looked at the ship on the sea. He thanked her and took out something from his sleeve. It was the avatar that Luo Die had given him previously. He had used one in the Heart Demon Forbidden Land before, but now there were two left. He took out one and injected his True Essence. This avatar was equivalent to possessing the strength of a Soul Formation cultivator.
“This is …”
Luo Die looked at the little puppet in his hand. How could she not recognize it? This was an avatar made by her using an illusion technique. She didn’t expect that he still had it.
“I have injected a strand of True Essence into this. If you encounter a critical moment, you can summon it.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he handed the avatar to her. Luo Die held it in her hand, as if she could still feel the temperature on it. She nodded and put it away in her arms in a precious and heavy manner.
“I’m leaving. I’ll see you in Jianghu.”
After saying that, Xiao Chen did not stop. He leapt onto the ship with a bit of his feet. As soon as he activated his True Essence, the ship immediately rode the wind and waves and quickly sailed into the sea. The afterimage slowly disappeared from the sea level.
“We’ll meet again when we’re destined to meet again.”
Luo Die waved her hand at the afterimage under the setting sun. For some reason, the sea breeze blew over, and she felt her heart empty. This time, he really left.
As for her, she also wanted to go back to her own business and find the true culprit who had annihilated her entire family back then.
She slowly took out something from her sleeve. It was precisely the fragment of the “Supreme Forgetfulness” that she had obtained that day. There was still a part of this fragment that was lacking, and the other part was unknown where it was. At this moment, a terrifying cold light suddenly flashed through her beautiful eyes.
…
The days at sea were boring and boring. When Xiao Chen first came, it took him half a year to cross the sea. Now, three years had passed since he left the Immortal Origin Five Regions. If he went back now, it would take him about three to four months, no matter how fast he went.
Unknowingly, it was already late autumn. Two months had passed. During the past two months, Xiao Chen was flying on the sea during the day. Now, his strength was much deeper than before, and his speed was naturally much faster. At night, he put the boat back to the sea and cultivated calmly.
That night, the bright moon rose from the sea, illuminating the entire sea area with sparkling light. The waves gently slapped the ship’s side, making a quiet and peaceful sound.
Xiao Chen sat in the cabin with his eyes closed. He raised his hands slightly and a faint shadow appeared between his palms. Looking closely, it seemed that the shadow was actually a flood dragon, but it was the strange flood dragon that everyone had killed in Tomb of Gods and Demons.
This strange flood dragon had cultivated for countless years, and its strength was roughly equal to that of a Worldly Cave Ruins Realm cultivator. At that time, it was heavily injured by everyone. Then, it was dealt a final fatal blow by Xiao Chen using the Golden Crow Feet, and its beast soul was also imprisoned by Xiao Chen using the Soul Forbidden Technique.
After a long time, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. A layer of cold sweat had slowly condensed on his forehead. He had tried many times these past few days, but he was unable to refine the dragon soul of this strange dragon like the previous time he refined Prince Yun Tianzi’s primordial spirit.
One was that the beast soul was too strong, and the other was that his current strength was not enough. Perhaps he would only be able to refine the dragon soul when he truly transformed into a god.
Just as he was thinking about it, the cabin suddenly shook. At first, Xiao Chen didn’t care about it, but the more he thought about it, the more intense the shock became. Something was wrong.
