As the Universe Turns - Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Ancient Sword
“Then … Little friend Xiao, are you alone?” A white-bearded man holding a whisk walked over and asked him.

“No, no,” said Yi Chen. “I’m separated from Uncle Mei and the others. It just so happens that all of you are here. Then I’ll come with you.”

“Yes, that’s good.” Bai Xu Weng stroked his beard with a look of approval in his eyes. He then looked at the two of them in Cangfeng Valley and said, “Senior Brothers, are you coming with us?”

He Chongtian looked at Xiao Yi Chen and turned his head. “We were separated from Senior Brother and the others. Since that’s the case, let’s go into the mountain together so that we can take care of each other.”

Yi Chen thought to himself, the two of you clearly wanted to capture me. There are so many people here, so I’ve been following them. I’ll see how you two do it.

When night fell, everyone set up camp on the spot. Yi Chen didn’t dare to be too far away. The next day, he continued his journey to the depths of the mountain. At noon, seven or eight people went to meet up with his fellow disciples. On the third day, a few left. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people left, Yi Chen gradually felt that something was wrong. Once the people here were dispersed again, the two of them would definitely attack him and couldn’t stay here anymore.

That night, there was no light between the stars and the moon. In the middle of the night, Yi Chen secretly left on the pretext that it was convenient for him to go. After leaving, he sprinted along with the Ling Immortal Steps. He did not hear the sound of the wind or the cries of the beasts in the distance, just like he had fled for his life in the back mountain of Pingyang Peak.

After running for an unknown length of time, Yi Chen gasped heavily and looked in the direction he was traveling. He thought that the two of them would not be able to catch up in a short period of time, so he had to find a place to hide so that the two of them wouldn’t be able to track their auras.

At this moment, a sharp eagle roar suddenly sounded in the sky. Yi Chen was shocked. He looked up and saw a few eagles circling in the air. He thought that something was wrong. It must be Cangfeng Valley’s domesticated falcons that were specifically used to track down the enemy!

“Shit …”

Yi Chen’s heart jumped. He was able to dodge the beast’s pursuit, but it was difficult for him to dodge it. He looked around and saw a mud pit. He immediately pounced in and rolled a few times. One was to conceal his aura, and the other was to make the white robe less obvious at night.

After everything was done, after the falcons flew away, Yi Chen carefully crawled out of the mud pit and continued running. However, he did not run far. Suddenly, a gust of wind rang out and two figures landed in front of him. The killing intent of the two people was cold. It was He Chongtian and Xu Taichang.

“You …”

Yi Chen retreated backwards. A stream of True Essence condensed in his palm. The two of them approached him step by step. Xu Taichang said coldly, “Where is that old witch?”

“I, I don’t know … Granny, she’s gone.” As Yi Chen spoke, he slowly retreated. He Chongtian snorted coldly, “Are you serious?”

“Let’s go. What did I say?”

Yi Chen hatefully glared at the two of them. He thought to himself that you could only come and bully me. When you meet Uncle Xie and the others, you will run away like rats.

He Chongtian looked at each other and thought to himself, “There’s nothing in this brat’s mouth that’s true. He must know where that old witch went, but he refused to say it out loud. Furthermore, he saw the two of them kill each other before …”

Killing intent!

At this moment, Yi Chen felt a trace of cold killing intent. Taking advantage of the fact that the two of them weren’t paying attention, he instantly unleashed the Ling Xian Steps and escaped.

“Stop!”

The two of them also raised their breath and chased after him. Yi Chen used Ling Xian Steps to run in a dangerous place. No matter how dangerous the place was, it was as if it was flat ground under Ling Xian Steps. However, the latter two were far above him. With this, the two of them were on par.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a strand of sword qi slashed towards Yi Chen, and Yi Chen dodged in time. He wanted to figure out how to shake off the two of them, but Shun Bu Qiankun was afraid that he would not be able to use it.

“Whoosh!”

Another sharp sword Qi slashed towards Yi Chen. He was almost struck by it. He was scared out of his wits and gritted his teeth in hatred. He thought to himself that the two of you old men are bullying me now. When I grow up, you will be too old to walk. When you die, I will go to your graves to plant grass and pee!

Thinking of this, he finally felt a little happier and ran even faster. However, the two people behind him were still chasing after him. Unknowingly, both of them had arrived somewhere. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing half a round of Moon. They could vaguely see a pitch-black valley in front of them.

“Junior Brother, wait!”

Xu Taichang suddenly stopped and stared at the strange valley in front of him. “There’s an abnormal Spiritual Energy ahead …” he said.

He Chongtian also sensed it and saw Xiao Yichen running into the valley. He quickly said, “That brat is heading inside. Quickly chase him. Be careful.”

The two of them unfurled their movement techniques and chased after him. Yi Chen saw that the two of them were chasing after him. No matter where they were, he sprinted forward. When he reached the valley, a strange mist suddenly rose up nearby, enveloping the three of them.

“There’s something strange here. Junior Brother, be careful!”

Seeing a strange fog suddenly cover the surroundings, Xu Taichang became more and more cautious. Xiao Yichen was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, but the two of them had seen more, and everything became exceptionally cautious.

“That brat is heading forward. Quickly chase after him!”

He Chongtian saw Xiao Yichen running into the fog. Although he was vigilant, he still chased after him. However, the further he chased, the heavier the chill became. Gradually, the three of them seemed to be lost in the fog. No matter how hard they ran, they could not escape.

Yi Chen turned around and saw that the two of them were still chasing after him. He gritted his teeth and continued to run forward. He thought to himself, “You guys are not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death either. I will encounter something later. At most, everyone will die together!” But after running for a while, I thought, you two have lived for a long time. I’m only a teenager. Isn’t it a pity to die with you?

Just as he was thinking of this, the fog in front of him grew heavier, and an extremely powerful restrictive force could be faintly heard, as if warning him that there was a master here, and that strangers should not approach him!

Yi Chen couldn’t help but shiver. There was a tiger leopard in front of him and a jackal behind him. What should we do this time? Could it be that the heavens are going to kill me? Ai! My life is over! He gritted his teeth and continued to run forward.

The two of them could naturally sense this restrictive force. They looked at each other, then why was the restrictive force so heavy in front of them? Could it be that the thing they were looking for had appeared? Shit! This time, the two of them seemed to wake up and hurriedly said, “Xiao Yichen, don’t move any further! There’s a restriction ahead, and you’ll be shattered! We won’t make things difficult for you anymore! Quickly come back!”

When Yi Chen heard the shouts of the two people behind him, he thought to himself that I would be crushed to pieces if I fell into your hands. Die! Master, this disciple is unfilial. I can only repay you in the next life! Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and rushed into the restriction.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the entire valley seemed to tremble. Behind them, Xu Taichang and the others thought that something was wrong and immediately rushed forward. However, they were pushed back by a terrifying force beneath the valley.

“Junior Brother, wait a moment!” Xu Taichang pressed down on He Chongtian and looked down at the abyss. His heart was still pounding. After a long time, he murmured, “There is an ancient restriction formation down there. We can’t get down.”

Hearing this, He Chongtian was shocked, “But just now, why did that brat go down?”

“I don’t know” Xu Taichang shook her head and looked at him. “Let’s find out if there’s another place to go.”

…

Yi Chen jumped into the abyss and landed in an ancient cave with a kick from midair. The surroundings were pitch black, and there was a faint sound of water dripping from the cave.

“What kind of place is this …”

Yi Chen’s heart still lingered in fear, and he thought of the fact that he was not injured by the restriction when he jumped down, as if something had blocked it for him. Could it be …

Thinking of this, he took out a blood jade from his sleeve. The red light flowed in the jade. It was given to him by his master three years ago. He had been carrying it with him all these years. Could it be that this jade had blocked it for him? Everyone says that jade can protect the master, it seems like this is indeed the case …

“Aiyo! Those two old things are still up there!”

Thinking of the pursuers, Yi Chen hurriedly put away the jade and walked into the ancient cave. The further he went, the darker his fingers became. He took out another white jade from his bosom. The jade emitted a faint light that could barely illuminate the surroundings.

Although the light wasn’t as terrifying as before, the chill was getting heavier and heavier. The more Yi Chen walked, the more terrified he felt. He felt as if there was something terrifying inside. At this moment, as Pingyang Peak had fled for his life, he clutched his hands and muttered, “Don’t blame me, don’t blame me …”

After walking for about half an incense stick of time, the cold energy inside became even heavier. Yi Chen arrived at a pitch black cave. He could feel that the cold energy was coming from inside, and there seemed to be something inside.

After wandering around the entrance of the cave for a while, he decided to go in and take a look. Perhaps he could obtain some powerful magic treasure to deal with the two people above him.

When they reached the cave, There was a jade wall at the end, There were faint waves of water flowing beneath the jade wall. Yi Chen approached carefully. He could vaguely feel an extremely simple immortal energy coming from the water. When he approached, it was blocked by an invisible force. Immediately after, ripples appeared on the water surface one after another. Gradually, it seemed as if something was about to float up.

Yi Chen subconsciously retreated backwards. As he stared closely at the pool under the jade wall, he saw ripples on the surface of the water gradually spread out. Something slowly floated up from the bottom of the water. It was flawless like white jade, but it could flow like water. Finally, it gradually condensed into a jade-white ancient sword. There was a layer of faint white light on the surface of the sword, like water ripples flowing. It was magical.

Yi Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. Any Divine Weapon Immortal Sword he knew must have been refined through thousands of refinements, but why did this sword seem to be made of water? Could it be that it could undergo countless changes? The sword emitted such a simple and ancient immortal energy. Just what kind of divine object was it?

The waves of water gradually spread out, and the water light shone on the flawless white jade wall. Two words faintly appeared on the surface of the jade wall,

Qiushui.
