As the Universe Turns - Chapter 613
Chapter 613 Seize Fortune
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen finally recovered some strength. He raised his head and looked at the skeleton not far from him. He thought to himself, “This person must have been one of the best experts in the world before he died, but why did he sit here and die?”
However, he didn’t have the mood to care what kind of influential figure this skeleton was before him. He had just walked out of the restriction and experienced a great calamity. It was a good time to break through to the cultivation realm.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate any longer and immediately sat down cross-legged. He no longer paid attention to the noise outside. He even gradually forgot where this was. He forgot about the Demon Palace outside, Xuan Jizi, and gradually entered a kind of Void Realm. Just like that, an unknown amount of time passed.
Silent and quiet, Xiao Chen only felt as if he had slowly entered an unprecedented profound realm. It was as if in an instant, there was no barrier between all things, and they had completely transformed into one body. As for him, he had transformed all things, and all things were him.
He had never experienced such a mysterious feeling before. Even during his sixty years in the Heart Demon Forbidden Land, he had comprehended a state of egotism. At that time, that feeling was not as mysterious as the feeling of “I transforming everything”. At that time, it was “I am nothing”, but at this time, it was “everything is for me”.
Slowly, the charred and cracked skin on his body began to peel off bit by bit. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, new skin and flesh began to grow. It was as if he was undergoing a transformation. His entire body began to slowly become different.
Half a month had passed like this. By today, Xiao Chen’s skin had completely changed. His entire body seemed to have been completely reborn. The wounds from half a month ago had no trace of him.
Outside the stone room, half a month later, Xuan Jizi had finally passed through the layers of restrictions. The last restriction lightning was the sacrifice of his magic treasure Immortal Sword, which he had cultivated for many years, in order to avoid a calamity.
At this moment, his entire body was dripping with blood. Most of his injuries were caused by the sword qi inside the restriction, but they were only superficial injuries. Compared to the injuries Xiao Chen had suffered half a month ago, these injuries were nothing.
Outside the Demon Palace, for nearly a month, Shen Quezi hadn’t left a single step, nor had he sent his divine will to the disciples outside. Because he had always been absorbed in the thought that as long as his junior apprentice-brother Xuan Jizi seized Xiao Chen’s good fortune, he would definitely be able to enter the Cave Ruins Realm in one fell swoop and avoid the bitterness of Samsara.
When he looked at the swaying Xuan Jizi in the Demon Palace, his eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow deeper and deeper. He sighed in his heart. Everything that followed could only depend on his junior apprentice-brother, and he couldn’t do anything else.
“Senior Brother, don’t worry … I will definitely be able to seize his good fortune …”
Xuan Jizi staggered, leaving behind a long trail of blood. Step by step, he slowly walked towards the dark horned stone door. It was as if he could feel the burning gaze of his senior apprentice-brother behind him. He knew in his heart that his senior apprentice-brother had helped him everywhere in the past hundred years, but he could only rely on himself for everything that followed.
Even so, he cautiously arrived at the dark horned stone door. He first scanned inside for a while, and after confirming that there was no ambush, he carefully went inside.
When he entered the corridor, he was also exceptionally careful. When he entered the stone room and saw Xiao Chen who was still inside, he couldn’t help but be stunned. He immediately stopped and held his breath. Only after confirming that Xiao Chen couldn’t wake up at this moment did he restrain his aura and carefully approach him bit by bit.
When he saw Xiao Chen’s current appearance, his heart trembled even more. Half a month ago, he had suffered such a serious injury. In just half a month, this brat had actually recovered so quickly. It looked like he wasn’t injured at all. Who was this brat?
At this moment of shock, Xuan Jizi naturally did not forget the purpose of his trip. With such a peerless genius, he was even happier in his heart. If he could seize this peerless fortune, not only would he be able to break through to the Cave Ruins Realm in one go, his future accomplishments would be even more immeasurable!
Thinking of this, Xuan Jizi’s greedy eyes suddenly became fierce again. Seizing one’s good fortune was a violation of the Heavenly Dao. However, he had already walked to this point. In the past hundred years, in order to break through to the Cave Ruins Realm, he had countless deaths with Shen Quezi. Could it be that he would still care about the Righteous Dao and justice?
At this moment, his eyes gradually turned red. His entire body seemed to have turned devilish. The greed and ruthlessness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
Suddenly, he raised his hands and forcefully pressed them on both sides of Xiao Chen’s forehead. The strange technique of seizing good fortune was immediately executed. As the incantation incantation in his mouth continued, strands of strange red mist gradually appeared around him and Xiao Chen.
Immediately after, this red mist slowly flowed into his body. Xuan Jizi’s spirits instantly lifted, and his eyes became even more greedy. With such a peerless fortune, wouldn’t his future achievements surpass his senior brother’s?
Thinking of this, Xuan Jizi was both shocked and delighted. The incantation in his mouth became even faster, and it also accelerated the red mist to flow into his body.
At this moment, the originally shocking wounds on Xiao Chen’s body healed quickly. Even the wrinkles on his skin disappeared bit by bit, and his face became smooth and delicate. He was actually returning to his childhood!
“To actually have such good fortune … Good, great! Hahaha!”
Xuan Jizi was overjoyed. His hands exerted even more strength. In a short moment, even the white hair behind his shoulders had turned black. His originally wrinkled face was much younger now. This was exactly what he looked like when he was young.
However, just as he was overjoyed, the Good Fortune of Cultivation that had originally flowed towards him suddenly stopped. Then, like a river tilting, it actually flowed back towards Xiao Chen.
“What … what’s going on!”
Xuan Jizi was shocked. He wanted to stop the reverse flow of good fortune, but he discovered that he couldn’t stop it no matter what. His hands seemed to be firmly stuck to Xiao Chen’s body. He couldn’t move and his body suddenly couldn’t move.
“Everything transforms into me, I transform into everything. The heavens and the earth are under my control!”
At this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Xuan Jizi’s entire body’s strength had actually gathered on his body.
“Stop … stop! No!”
Xuan Jizi’s face was filled with panic. Not only did he seize the Good Fortune he had just obtained, all of it was now flowing backwards. Even his own Good Fortune and all of his skills were gathered on Xiao Chen’s body uncontrollably.
Very quickly, all those wrinkles returned to his body, and his black hair turned white. The wrinkles piled up on his face now were like layers of withered leaves, making him look even older than before. Moreover, the rate of aging was constantly accelerating.
“Stop … stop!”
Xuan Jizi seemed to be going crazy. At this moment, he could only watch as his cultivation base of several hundred years continued to gather towards Xiao Chen. However, he could not stop him. He could not seize the good fortune, but now, it was Xiao Chen who had seized the good fortune.
“Senior Brother … save me! Senior Brother, save me!”
Xuan Jizi was almost in despair and kept shouting out. In a short moment, he seemed to be two hundred years old. Even his teeth began to fall off. The hair behind his shoulders also fell to the ground. He looked like a half-buried person.
