As the Universe Turns - Chapter 697
Chapter 697 Heaven-defying Method
The old beggar looked at the familiar and unfamiliar man in front of him and slowly said, “It’s been ten years. I didn’t expect you to remember what the old man said back then.”
“Ten years, Senior hasn’t forgotten.” As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked up and handed over the wine in his hand.
The old beggar held the wine jug and sniffed it in front of his nose. He took a deep breath and said intoxicatedly, “Not bad, not bad, not the Drunken Immortal Wine of Qingzhou City, but the Peach Blossom Wine of Suzhou City. Very good, very good …”
“As long as Senior likes it.”
Xiao Chen looked at him, his voice still did not contain any emotions. It was calm and indifferent, without any emotions.
Soon, a pot of peach blossom wine was trickling down. The old beggar burped, his face slightly red, and he was a little drunk, as if he had returned to the time when he first met Xiao Chen.
“I still don’t know. Senior, your name is Ye Zichen.”
“Uh …”
The old beggar hiccupped, looked at him drunkenly and said, “Well, not many people remember his name now anyway. The old man’s surname is Feng, two words, Mo Yao.”
Xiao Chen turned around and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the White Mist Green Mountain opposite the cliff. The white hair behind his shoulders rose in the wind and he slowly said, “Senior let me go back then. Do you regret it now? Did you not kill me back then?”
Feng Moyao chuckled, “If I had killed you at that time, I would have changed the fate of the ancient land of Xianyuan from now on. Perhaps the old man would have killed you.”
“Then today, Senior will still stop me.” Xiao Chen still held his hands behind his back as he looked at the distant mountains and said indifferently.
At this moment, the smile on Feng Moyao’s face gradually disappeared. He also looked at the numerous green mountains on the other side and slowly said, “When the heavens and earth opened, twelve earth spirit veins appeared at the same time. These twelve earth spirit veins were the source of all living beings’ spirit longevity. Later, in order to compete for the spirit veins, the six worlds were in chaos. In the end, a great god managed to obtain seven spirit veins for the human world …”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “These seven spirit veins were named ‘Frost Pool’, ‘Flaming Sun’, ‘Dragon Abyss’, ‘Crimson Heaven’, ‘Giant Soul’, ‘Heavenly Reflection’, and ‘Netherspring’ …”
“Senior seems to know a lot.” Xiao Chen looked at the distant green mountain and said indifferently.
Feng Moyao continued, “Every earth spirit vein, All of them possess boundless power, “At the same time, there are countless branches that are connected to the world’s lifelines. And today, every single spirit vein has a spirit vein eye. As long as you find the spirit vein eye, you can draw this spirit vein and gather all branches. That’s why there are the Eye of Frost Pool, the Eye of Flame Sun, the Eye of Dragon Abyss, the Eye of Scarlet Heaven, the Eye of Giant Soul, the Eye of Heavenly Light, the Eye of Secluded Springs …”
At this point, he looked at Xiao Chen and slowly said, “If the old man’s guess is correct, what Little Friend has now is the Eye of the Frost Pool.”
Xiao Chen remained silent. After a while, he said, “Sir, you are only half right. The Eye of the Frost Pool in my hand is not complete. It is only half.”
“It’s like this, it’s like this …”
Feng Moyao stroked his white beard and continued, “If the old man’s guess is correct, this little friend has gathered in Spiritual Bloodline Force all these years with the sole purpose of recondensing the legendary Ten Directions Ancient Array.”
The wind blew coldly from the bottom of the cliff. Xiao Chen remained silent. Feng Moyao stopped and continued, “Most of the world only knows about the Three Emperors Formation. However, they do not know that before the Three Emperors, this formation should be the first of the Primeval Era. It possesses the power to twist the heavens and earth, disrupt the Yin and Yang, and even reverse space and time …”
At this point, He stopped again, He looked at Xiao Chen and said, Seeing that the opposite party was expressionless, He continued, “that girl beside you, If I’m not mistaken, It should be the rarest Profound Yin Body in ten thousand years, Profound Yin Body, Originally, his lifespan was extremely short, If it was a woman from an ordinary family, often under twenty years of age, “But the girl beside you is different from an ordinary person. Although the old man did not know who used heaven-defying methods to renew her life in the past, the injury she suffered ten years ago was too severe. Now, no matter how heaven-defying her methods were, they were useless … So, in the end, the young friend decided to use the legendary Ten Directions Ancient Array to change her fate, right?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and remained silent. If there was another way, why would he be like this? However, Shen Jing had already told him that Hua Weiyang’s injuries were one thing, but his lifespan was the will of the heavens and could not be changed. It was as if no one in the mortal world could escape from the Samsara of Life and Death. Unless he could defy the heavens, turn the heavens and the heavens and reverse the Yin and Yang, there was no other way.
“Sigh …”
Feng Moyao sighed. He continued, “To activate the Ten Directions Ancient Array, you must obtain unparalleled spiritual power, And the seven spirit veins, All of them possess boundless power, Only then, To activate the Ten Directions Ancient Array, “But little friend, perhaps you don’t know that the seven Earth Spirit Veins are related to the destiny of the entire human world. Once they gather, the six worlds will be shaken. At that time, the rifts between all walks of life will collapse. The six worlds will be in chaos and annihilation will arrive. The entire human world will be destroyed … Do you know that the previous era was so destroyed? It was destroyed by an annihilation that was unable to prevent its arrival?”
“Senior, what does this have to do with me?”
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and said indifferently. Over the years, he had subdued various sects. His main purpose was to condense the power of the earth vein and search for the Eye of the Spirit Vein. Everything else was secondary.
Feng Moyao couldn’t help but sigh, “The old man just didn’t want to see you sink into a mire step by step …”
“That’s why Senior still wants to stop me today.” Xiao Chen looked at him, and his gaze gradually condensed. It was like the cold light on the tip of a needle, slightly sharp.
“Alright, alright …”
Feng Moyao sighed twice and looked at him. The two of them looked at each other. The cold sun set, making their silhouettes even more desolate. However, in just a flash of lightning and flint, both of them had already attacked, and their profound strength had surged towards each other!
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the two of them clashed with each other. Their palms spread out like ripples, but everything nearby was flattened out at the same time.
Immediately, the mountains trembled and the earth trembled. Qingzhou City was only fifty kilometers away from here, and the people in the city could also feel the sudden shock.
With this palm strike, Feng Moyao already knew that the person in front of him could no longer be the young man who bought him alcohol back then.
“Sigh …”
He sighed in his heart. Could it be that one of them was going to die today? As he thought about it, Feng Moyao hurriedly activated the profound arts in his body, a technique that he had not used for many years. In this instant, it was like a sea of rage, causing a violent wave to rise, and its momentum was still the same as it had been in the past.
Xiao Chen stood in midair, his white hair dancing wildly. Suddenly, two strands of True Qi had condensed in his palms. It was as if he had the power to create heaven and earth. With a single move, the wind and clouds instantly changed, and the heavens and earth paled.
Even though Feng Moyao had the protection of his profound arts, he could only feel a heavy heat wave. He was actually forced to retreat by these two strands of True Qi.
“Get up!”
With a loud shout, Feng Moyao stepped on the void and defended as an attack. Not only did his palm strike, it also scattered two strands of true energy. Everywhere his palm passed, everything turned into nothingness.
Facing this vast amount of palm power, Xiao Chen remained calm and composed. There was still some room left for him to attack, and he did not summon Di Gu.
After the incense stick was burned, he saw everything around him. The vegetation was broken and the mountains and rocks were destroyed. The two of them had no way of deciding victory or defeat. Suddenly, a gust of wind rose. Feng Moyao condensed into the air. With a stroke of his finger, he condensed a strand of sword qi. A strong wind blew around him, and the clouds in the sky began to rotate around him. A vast profound energy constantly condensed.
Xiao Chen’s expression did not change, but looking at the scene in front of him, he clearly knew that the other party was going to activate the last Three Talents Sword.
