As the Universe Turns - Chapter 639
Chapter 639 Ancient Cave Fortune
Facing so many remnant souls, even though Meng Xian’er was usually calm and composed, her expression couldn’t help but change drastically. She instantly took out the Ice Jade Lotus in her hand.
As soon as the Ice Jade Lotus flew into the air, it instantly magnified by many times. Pieces of light blossomed, sprinkling down with white light, blocking the first wave of the God Devil remnant souls from returning.
However, more God Devil remnant souls rushed towards the two of them. Meng Xian’er was already injured, and he still had to support his magic treasure Spiritual Energy. His face immediately lost its color. What was even more terrifying was that the Ice Jade Lotus was still able to resist the God Devil remnant souls at the beginning, but gradually, it was unable to do so.
With so many Fiendgod remnant souls pouring in, the two of them would be corroded into a white bone in almost an instant. Meng Xian’er’s expression immediately changed, “Childe Xiao!”
The moment she turned her head, she saw the next incredible scene. Xiao Chen covered his head with both hands. For some reason, it seemed extremely uncomfortable. Then, he raised his head and let out a long roar. His eyes turned blood red. Immediately after, countless shadows of ancient immortals, devils, and gods appeared around his body!
“Ah–”
The veins on Xiao Chen’s face burst out, and his eyes turned bloody red. These ancient immortal devils that had been dead for tens of thousands of years had all appeared around him.
Meng Xian’er was completely stunned. Why did so many ancient immortal and demonic shadows appear around him? Furthermore, at this moment, she could clearly feel the auras of these immortal and demonic gods and buddhas. It seemed that they were not just shadows … Who exactly was he?
The remnant souls of the gods and devils that surged up like the tide seemed to have sensed the aura of these true immortal devils and gods and buddhas. They didn’t dare to make a move like the people seeing a monarch. They immediately retreated like the tide and disappeared without a trace.
It was only after a long time that Xiao Chen slowly recovered. The Immortal Devil Divine Buddha Shadows around him had also disappeared. Meng Xian’er still found it hard to believe what had just happened. She whispered, “You … How are you?”
Xiao Chen looked around and saw that the remnant souls of the gods and devils had temporarily retreated. However, most of the remnant souls of the gods and devils did not have any consciousness. They would surely surge up again soon and said, “Let’s leave this place first.”
The two of them continued forward. At the end of the valley was an ancient cave. The two of them had nowhere else to go. Shen Quezi was guarding the valley. They would definitely not be able to go up at this time and could only go into the ancient cave.
After entering the cave, Meng Xian’er immediately used a secret technique to set up a restriction formation at the entrance of the cave. Only then did he finally let out a sigh of relief and said, “Shen Quezi must be afraid of those god and demon souls just now, so he did not dare to come down. We are temporarily safe.”
Finally, she took out a jade bottle from her sleeve. That jade bottle was very exquisite. There were three green flowers printed on it. She opened the bottle cap and a fragrance immediately permeated the entire ancient cave.
After Meng Xian’er took a mouthful of the bottle of jade liquid, she handed over the entire blue and white jade bottle to Xiao Chen. “This is the Heavenly Incense Jade Dew from our sect. The healing effect is excellent. Every six hours, you take a small mouthful, and within three days, your injuries will definitely recover.”
Xiao Chen took the jade bottle and did not hesitate. He immediately took a small sip and began to cross-legged cultivate to heal his injuries.
Meng Xian’er was also healing herself, as if both of them had forgotten about the Immortal Devil Divine Buddha Shadow.
It was unknown how many hours had passed, but it was probably already the past night outside. After a night of luck, the injuries on their bodies had temporarily lessened.
At this moment, the sound of water droplets suddenly came from the cave. Meng Xian’er opened her eyes and looked into the depths of the ancient cave. She saw that the cave was pitch black, but the sound of water droplets sounded exceptionally clear in the darkness.
“I wonder where it is. Why don’t we go in and take a look?”
Meng Xian’er stood up and looked at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen also opened his eyes. Seeing that her expression had recovered, he nodded and got up and walked into the ancient cave.
The crack in the cave was narrow and only allowed one person to pass through. Xiao Chen walked in front, and she followed behind him for a long time. The terrain inside was complicated, and the two of them finally followed the sound of water dripping before arriving at a more spacious place.
It turned out that there was actually a shallow pond water gathered here. The pond water was clear and should have soaked through from above. Meng Xian’er was very happy, “I didn’t expect that there was actually a pond water gathered here. It was extremely wonderful.”
Previously, she had been in a sorry state all along the way. It was naturally indecent for her to want to take a bath here, but drinking a few mouthfuls of water and washing her face wasn’t a problem.
Meng Xian’er took a few mouthfuls of water and drank it. Just as she raised her head, she saw someone looking at her from across the pond, which made her hair stand on end. However, after taking a closer look, she discovered that it was actually a dried-up corpse.
“Childe Xiao, come over and take a look. There’s someone over there!”
Even if it was just a withered corpse, the sudden change just now shocked her. Xiao Chen immediately walked over and saw the withered corpse opposite the pool. Without hesitation, the two of them immediately launched their qinggong and flew over. The withered corpse sat there, its back leaning against the rock wall. Its clothes had long since decayed. It was likely that it had died many years ago.
“Wait … this is!”
Meng Xian’er’s eyes were sharp as she noticed that there was a secret manual at the feet of the withered corpse. Although it was covered with a thick layer of dust, she still saw it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Xian’er stretched out her hand and picked up the secret manual. After flipping through a few pages, she was overjoyed, “This is the Devil Scripture! What a good person who broke through the iron shoes and found nowhere, it didn’t take much effort to obtain it! He actually hid it here. Could this be the will of heaven?”
Normally, Meng Xian’er’s face was calm like still water, making it impossible to see through her thoughts. However, after this ups and downs, she had coincidentally found the Devil Scripture that she had tried her best to find. How could she suppress the joy in her heart?
Xiao Chen looked at the slightly dilapidated secret manual in her hand, wondering if this was the Devil Scripture? There seemed to be nothing special about it.
Meng Xian’er, however, was not like him. After obtaining the Devil Passage, she immediately went into a daze and looked at it. After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly frowned and said, “No, this Devil Scripture is incomplete. It should not be just this one. Where else has it gone?”
She looked around the pond and even searched through the withered corpse several times, but she couldn’t find any other secret manuals.
After three days, In these three days, Xiao Chen went to another small cave beside him and meditated on the Soul Formation. Meng Xian’er was fascinated as she flipped through the Devil Scripture. At the same time, she had searched the entire ancient cave for three days. She only needed to flip through it. In the end, she was sure that there was only this Devil Scripture here and nothing else.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a loud noise rang out, causing both of them to wake up. Xiao Chen immediately walked out of the cave and looked at Meng Xian’er, “What’s wrong?”
Meng Xian’er had just studied the Devil Scripture and was absorbed in it. She did not know what had happened. She looked at him with a surprised expression. Then, the two of them realized that something might have happened outside. With a movement of their bodies, the two of them immediately went out.
When they arrived at the cave outside, the restriction formation Meng Xian’er had set up at the entrance three days ago was still there, and there was no sign of relaxation. However, outside the cave, for some reason, the remnant souls of the gods and devils that filled the valley seemed to have gathered together and began to slowly head towards the same direction outside the valley.
“Why did all these Fiendgod souls suddenly wander away …”
Meng Xian’er’s eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression immediately changed, “The two of them must have thought of a way to divert the souls of the gods and devils from the valley to another place. Once all the souls of the gods and devils here have swam away, they will no longer have any scruples …”
Only at this moment did Meng Xian’er realize that she was careless. She had only been absorbed in studying the Devil Scriptures for the past three days, but she had completely ignored the potential dangers outside. Now that she only had thirty to fifty percent of her strength left, how could she be Shen Quezi’s opponent?
Although the souls of the gods and devils were leaving slowly, they would all swim away in at most three days. At that time, when Shen Quezi killed them, wouldn’t she and Xiao Chen immediately become turtles in a jar and have nowhere to escape? In just three days, how could she recover seventy to eighty percent of her strength?
Layer after layer of cold sweat came up, and in an instant, it soaked through her clothes.
