As the Universe Turns - Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Bamboo Forest Cultivation
Outside the veil curtain, Yaoji’s entire body trembled slightly, but a bitter expression slowly appeared on her face. With a gloomy expression, she said, “The landlord deceived Yi Wuji, Zong Xiaotian, and the others, but … how could he deceive Yaoji?” “Lu Wuxin has no hope of transforming into a spirit for three hundred years. The Lu Clan clearly wants to use the building master as the furnace cauldron so that Lu Wuxin can smoothly transform into a spirit. How can Yaoji not see the sinister and vicious nature of this?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence again. The icy cold atmosphere gradually disappeared. In the end, only a gentle sigh came out from the curtain.
Inside the veil curtain, Lady Rakshasa sighed, “The Lu Clan has been in seclusion for many years. You’ve imagined them to be too simple. Other than Lord Lianhua Palace’s disguise technique, how could any other disguise technique in the world be able to conceal the truth?” Moreover, so what if they hide it from me one day? If they find out that I’m disguised by you, do you know how miserable your fate will be? And where can I escape to within a day … ”
At the end of his sentence, he just kept sighing. Yaoji frowned, “Then … what should we do?” At this point, he suddenly raised his head, as if he had seen the last glimmer of hope, and said, “Otherwise, ask Childe Xiao for help. He …”
“Forget it …”
Lady Rakshasa shook his hand and said, “He is not a divine man. Didn’t you see that he can’t even protect himself now?”
“Then … then …”
For a moment, Yaoji had no other way to deal with it. At this moment, a cold light flashed in Lady Rakshasa’s eyes and he said coldly, “Since there is a cliff in front of us and there is no way to retreat behind us, then let’s give it a try …”
The entire hall was as cold as a layer of frost. Yaoji’s entire body suddenly trembled. She raised her head and felt the chill coming from Lady Rakshasa’s body. She couldn’t help but feel even more shocked. Her face turned slightly pale, “Could it be that Lady Rakshasa, are you planning to …”
“Since the Heavenly Clan Scroll can’t be cultivated along the way, then I’ll combine the Profound Nether Divine Art and cultivate it upside down. Only in this way can I break through the shackles.”
The further she went, the colder Lady Rakshasa’s eyes became, and her voice became even more gloomy. “When I succeed in transforming into a spirit, then no one will be able to force me to do anything. The Lu Clan …”
“But …”
Looking at her terrifying gaze, Yaoji’s heart was beating more and more violently, and his face was getting paler and paler. If he turned the Heavenly Sect Scroll and the Dark Profound Art upside down to cultivate, he would definitely go crazy. Even if he miraculously survived, he would definitely fall into the Devil Dao from now on, and he would never be able to turn his head back.
“I’ve decided. There’s no need to say anything else!”
Lady Rakshasa’s voice was cold. She had always been decisive in her actions. Just now, when she knew that if there was no other way, she would definitely not be able to transform into a spirit, she had already made a decision. Even if it was a Fallen Devil, she would not hesitate. Otherwise, how could she be so decisive in erasing the three flower marks on her body?
Yaoji knew that it was useless to persuade him. Instead, she would only make the landlord angry. However, she had grown up in Feng Man Lou since childhood and had died with Feng Man Lou long ago. This time, even Senior Sword Immortal was unable to help the landlord. Then, she was prepared to die three months later.
Lady Rakshasa said, “I’m going to cultivate the Heaven-defying Scripture and the Profound Nether Technique. Don’t tell anyone about it. If Yi Wuji and Zong Xiaotian find out about it, the consequences will be unimaginable. During this period of time, I will go into seclusion and don’t let anyone disturb me. Do you understand?”
“Yes … this subordinate understands.”
Yaoji’s face darkened as he nodded lightly.
“Mm …”
Lady Rakshasa nodded slightly and said, “As for Xiao Yichen, if he has any requests during this period of time, you should try your best to obey him. Just treat it as … returning the favor he helped me with in the past …”
As she said this, she recalled the scene when the two of them had dodged Wuji Palace’s pursuit together. Although Xiao Chen’s cultivation was far inferior to hers at that time, controlling life and death was terrifying. Even now, when she recalled it, she felt a chill run down her spine.
This time, she had encountered a great calamity. When she heard that Xiao Chen had come, it was as if she had grabbed the last rope to save her life. She knew that the Heavenly Skill of the Mysterious Azure Sect’s Yao Guang Zun was no ordinary person, and her disciple was no ordinary person.
However, when she saw the other party, she did not feel a trace of Soul Formation aura from the other party’s body. Her heart gradually cooled down. If she did not become a Soul Formation cultivator, how would she be able to defeat those Soul Formation cultivators from the Lu Clan? Even if he controlled life and death, what was the use? He was too naive. Even if he was no longer an ordinary person, how could he transform into a god so quickly …
“You can go. There’s no need for him to know about the Lu Clan.”
Lady Rakshasa waved her hand and sighed softly. Her words seemed to be tired. Yaoji did not say anything else and slowly retreated outside the hall.
…
Let’s talk about Xiao Chen. In the next few days, he had been helping Shen Jing refine medicine in the courtyard. In the past, some hard-won spirit medicines were quickly retrieved with the help of Feng Manlou. However, he hadn’t seen Lady Rakshasa for the past few days, so he couldn’t help but feel a little strange in his heart.
This evening, Yaoji brought the medicinal ingredients he needed. In Dingfeng City, the medicinal ingredients were not difficult to find. Unless it was some extremely rare heavenly treasures, the rest would most likely be found in the Chamber of Commerce.
However, even so, Xiao Chen still felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Yaoji smiled softly, “Young Master Xiao, there is no need for this. The building master has already told us. If Young Master has any needs, just say it.”
“Thank you so much.”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He did not like to owe people. In his opinion, although he had obtained the Heavenly Sect Scroll for Lady Rakshasa last time, the other party had also guided him to the Immortal Northern Ancient Realm. In this way, he could be considered as not owed each other.
Now, not only did the other party leave him here, he also agreed to all his requests. On the contrary, he felt that he owed the other party a favor. Moreover, the most difficult thing to dispel since ancient times was the favor of this beauty.
“Then … I won’t disturb Childe anymore.”
Yaoji nodded and smiled before leaving. Xiao Chen stopped her and said, “Wait, why haven’t we seen the landlord these few days?”
Yaoji turned around and smiled softly, “The building master has been cultivating a profound art recently. It is not appropriate to be disturbed.”
“I see. You can go.”
“Mm …”
Yaoji nodded and smiled. She walked out. As she walked past the bridge, her face darkened again. She sighed softly in her heart, “If only you could help the landlord tide over this difficult time …”
…
In the remaining few days, Shen Jing no longer needed his help in refining medicine. Next, she had to treat Hua Weiyang quietly. Without being disturbed, Xiao Chen went to a bamboo forest outside the courtyard. Last time, he had the help of an expert at Taihu Lake in Suzhou. He had comprehended the concept of returning to simplicity and truth. Now that he had finally settled down, he naturally needed to cultivate.
In the following days, he would meditate and cultivate in the bamboo forest all day long, just like the sixty years he had spent in the Forbidden Land of Heart Demons, slowly comprehending the true Soul Formation.
Soul transformation was the second shackle in a cultivator’s life. The first shackle was the Nascent Soul.
Perhaps it was because he had cultivated the remnant of the Heavenly Book that he discovered that every time he circulated his True Qi in his body, he would be able to superimpose a layer of cultivation power. Although this layer was insignificant, there would always be a day when he would break through the shackles.
