As the Universe Turns - Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Dragon Vein Displacement
Yi Chen got up and got out of bed. His body was still in pain and he was unable to move. Mei Jianyi immediately helped him up. “You’re just fine. You should rest for a few more days. You’re fine.”
Yi Chen shook his head. He thought to himself that the others must have left during the days he was unconscious. Only Uncle Mei stayed to take care of him and said, “Uncle Mei, I’m fine. It’s been a few days, right? Otherwise, let’s go back. I don’t want to stay here …”
Mei Jianyi looked at him and finally nodded, “The day before yesterday, your Uncle Xie and Uncle Jiang Nan came. They have already left for Dongjie.”
“Dongjie … what are you doing there?”
Yi Chen was a little curious. After thinking about it, he seemed to be able to go out again. There was no need to go back so quickly. He had just recovered from his injuries and had a playful look on his face. He smiled helplessly. After a while, his expression became serious and he said, “Sect Leader said that there is a trace of Diabolism. Let’s go over and investigate.”
“Oh …”
Yi Chen nodded. He thought that he could go out to play this time. He asked, “Then did Master also go?”
Mei Jianyi shook his head. “Your master is at Purple Night Peak. She won’t come.”
“How about this …”
Yi Chen’s face was filled with disappointment, but he was secretly delighted in his heart. As long as Master didn’t go, then he could be at ease and play boldly. He said, “Then Uncle Mei, let’s go quickly. Don’t let Senior Martial Uncle Jiangnan and the others wait for too long.”
“You child.”
Mei Jianyi shook his head and smiled. How could he not see through his little thoughts? However, it was no wonder. He was only a young man. It was the right time to have fun. How could he suppress the depression on Purple Night Peak?
…
Two days ago, Xia Guyun and the others had already left with Xie Chichun and Jiang Nanliu. Only Nichang and Fu Ling stayed behind, and the cloud stones were also taken away by Jiang Nanliu. Mei Jianyi could only borrow a small cloud stone from Elder Qingfeng who was stationed at the Heavenly Gate and rush to Dongjie to meet up with Jiang Nanliu and the others.
It was currently the summer of July. The weather in the Eastern Region of Immortal Origin was pleasant. Summer flowers bloomed all over the mountains. The scenery was very quiet. The meaning between their eyebrows was to take care of Yichen’s injuries. As a result, the flying speed of Yunshi was slower. Along the way, the four of them chatted and laughed, not as reserved as they were in the door.
Yichen leaned against a rock and smiled, “Junior Sister Nichang, you should call me senior brother now, right?” Nichang turned to look at him and snorted, “I’m senior sister, you’re junior brother.”
“What do you mean?” Yichen immediately sat up and said, “Look, I won the Heavenly Sect Martial Meeting. Back then, I was the first to enter the sect. When I went to Purple Night Peak, I didn’t even have a Master Ceremony, so Master told me to call her Master. You will need at least one more day to become a Master when you reach Skyjade Peak, right? Then logically speaking, shouldn’t you call me Senior Brother?”
“Say it again, I’ll hit you.” Nichang glared at him and raised his hand, as if he could no longer be said to be his match.
Yichen smiled and looked at Fu Ling, “Senior Sister Fu Ling, what do you think?”
“Mm” Fu Ling thought for a moment and covered his mouth with a smile, “I feel that what Junior Brother Xiao said seems to be true.”
“Senior Sister!” Nichang immediately turned to look at her, “Even you won’t help me.”
He shook his head and smiled. He couldn’t help but think that many years ago, he and his Junior Brother Jiangnan had fought back and forth like this, but in the end, he still won.
Three days later, Yunshi finally approached Dongjie, but when he entered a mountain range, he suddenly trembled. Fu Ling immediately became cautious, “What’s going on?”
“Don’t worry” Mei Jianyi waved his hand and looked down at the mountains. “There’s an Earth Spirit Vein in the Eastern Region. It might be due to the instability of Spiritual Energy. It’s fine.”
Clouds and stones rode on the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, which was why they were unable to fly in places with thin Spiritual Energy, while in places with unstable Spiritual Energy or where Spiritual Energy was too strong, it was extremely easy for them to lose control of themselves.
After flying for another incense stick of time, the clouds and stones began to vibrate more and more frequently. Nichang said, “Senior Sister Mei, why don’t we go down first?”
“Yes.”
Mei Jianyi nodded. He was worried that the Spiritual Energy would be out of balance and that the clouds and stones would not be able to cross the mountain range, so he controlled the mountain range below. However, just as it was halfway down, a Spiritual Energy rushed up from the mountain and almost threw the entire clouds and stones away.
“Stand firm!”
Mei Jianyi’s hands couldn’t stop forming seals. An extremely powerful Spiritual Energy poured into the cloudstone, slowly stabilizing it. However, the Spiritual Energy below was getting stronger and stronger. Even though the people of the Immortal Sect could cultivate their strength to an extremely strong level, they definitely didn’t dare to underestimate the power of heaven and earth.
“Rumble!”
The clouds and stones were shaking more and more violently. If they were to be smashed down like this, they would probably be torn apart. However, if they suddenly rode out with their swords, they would probably be torn to pieces by the power of heaven and earth outside.
Mei Jianyi calmed down. How could the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth suddenly be out of balance? Now, he could only forcefully descend. While using profound strength to protect the three of them, he said, “Stand firm, we need to go down!”
Under her control, Yun Shi forcefully broke through layers of Heaven and Earth Force and descended into the mountain. The hearts of the three people behind him were hanging in their throats. They saw that the mountain range suddenly seemed like a giant dragon that had come to life, and it actually began to shift.
“Damn it! It’s the dragon vein shifting!”
Mei Jianyi’s face immediately turned pale. The shift of the dragon vein was extremely terrifying amongst all the changes in the earth’s spirit veins. It could easily shake heaven and earth, causing mountains to shift. No one could withstand the power of heaven and earth! After so many years, how could the Immortal Primordial Ancient Land suddenly shift its dragon veins? Could it really be that an ancient prophecy has descended …
“Hurry up and stand still! Don’t get close to the edge!”
Mei Jianyi quickly formed a seal and used his Spiritual Energy to stabilize the clouds. Behind him, Nichang and Fu Ling held Xiao Yichen tightly, their hearts gradually hanging.
Yi Chen watched as the mountains below shifted and his heartbeat became more and more intense. Why did his dragon veins suddenly shift when he had just arrived here? Wouldn’t he be so unlucky …
“Boom!”
Another loud noise rang out. Dust flew up from the sky and cracks gradually appeared on the clouds and stones. Mei Jianyi thought to himself that things were not going well. Before he could even condense the barrier, the entire clouds and stones were shattered after a loud noise.
“Ah!”
Nichang and Fu Ling cried out in shock. Before they could react, they were sent flying by this terrifying power. Mei Jianyi stretched out his hand and his two hundred years of cultivation instantly turned into an invisible hand, forcefully pulling Nichang and Fu Ling back.
“Martial Uncle Mei!”
On the other side, Yi Chen also lost control and was sent flying by this power. Mei Jianyi’s wrist swiftly turned and grabbed at him. However, in the end, Yi Chen only touched her finger and was instantly sent flying thousands of feet away by the power of heaven and earth.
“Yi Chen!”
Mei Jianyi wanted to rush forward, but another force of heaven and earth rushed over, sending her and Nichang Fu Ling flying together. In the end, she could only watch as Yi Chen disappeared into the boundless world.
“Senior Sister Mei! Let’s go down first! This place is too dangerous!”
“Good, good …”
Mei Jianyi protected the two of them and landed in the mountain. After an incense stick, the Dragon Vein Displacement finally stopped. Looking at the vast mountain range, they could no longer find Xiao Yi Chen. Even though it was only an incense stick of time, the Dragon Vein Displacement meant that the other party might be a hundred or even a thousand miles away from them.
“Senior Sister Mei, what should we do now? Junior Brother Xiao, he …”
Fu Ling frowned and looked at the boundless mountains. Junior Brother Xiao still had injuries on his body. Where could he find him this time?
A moment later, Mei Jianyi calmed down and said, “Go to Dongjie.”
“Aren’t you looking for Junior Brother Xiao?” Fu Ling was stunned and was puzzled.
Mei Jianyi shook his head. He knew that it was impossible to find a needle in a haystack like this. He said, “Yi Chen is smart. After he separated from us, he will definitely go to Dongjie to meet up with Junior Brother Jiangnan and the others.”
“Since that’s the case, there’s no time to delay. We should also go there as soon as possible. It would be best if we meet Senior Brother on the way.” Ni Shang walked forward and said.
“Yes.” Mei Jianyi nodded and looked at the dust-shrouded horizon in the distance. She believed in Yi Chen’s ability to adapt. She was just worried that her opponent would recover from his injuries. She must not encounter any experts of the Devil Dao on the way.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Yi Chen slowly woke up and turned around. His entire body seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and he felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his body.
“Where is this …”
He looked around blankly, only to see that there was no sign of birds or beasts in the surroundings. Yi Chen struggled to stand up. Thinking back to when the dragon vein had shifted, he was now 108,000 miles away from Martial Uncle Mei and the others. What should he do now?
“Aiyo, damn place …”
Yi Chen rubbed his shoulders and walked forward. He thought to himself that he was separated from Martial Uncle Mei and the others. He couldn’t find them anymore, so he could only go to Dongjie to meet them.
After walking for a while, the sound of flowing water suddenly came from not far ahead. His old wounds had just healed, and he had new ones. It was difficult for him to even control his sword. Fortunately, he had grown up in the mountains and knew how to get out of the mountains. As long as he followed the downstream of the stream, he would definitely be able to get out of the mountains.
After walking for a day and night, he finally left the mountain range. Yi Chen changed his clothes. He was not familiar with Dongjie at all. Fortunately, he remembered the direction Martial Uncle Mei had mentioned earlier. On the way, he could also look for someone to ask for directions.
Just like this, in the afternoon, a sudden sound of weapons handing over came from not far ahead. Yi Chen immediately withdrew his aura and carefully stepped forward. He hid behind a large tree and looked. He saw a jade sedan chair not far in front of him. He recognized it with a glance. It was the “Granny” that he had met with Uncle Mei and the others on their way to the Heavenly Gate.
Yi Chen carefully peeked out and saw two old men standing in front of the sedan chair. One was dressed in red and the other was dressed in Qingyi. He had seen the one dressed in red at the Heavenly Gate. He was an elder from Cangfeng Valley, and the other dressed in Qingyi was presumably an elder from Cangfeng Valley.
“Why are they fighting …”
Yi Chen held his breath and looked carefully before he was shocked. The four red-clothed women who were carrying the sedan chair had already fallen into the grass by the roadside with several swords on their bodies. They were afraid that they were already dead. The remaining two Qingyi women were also injured and their bodies were drenched in blood.
Yi Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. He didn’t expect this person from Cangfeng Valley to be so ruthless when no one saw him.
