As the Universe Turns - Chapter 718
Chapter 718 Hidden Cloud Sea
Unknowingly, Xiao Chen had already arrived in front of Qianyu Nichang. At this moment, the entire valley suddenly fell into a strange calm, and the atmosphere became particularly tense.
Everyone held their breaths and remained silent. One of the two people in front of them was the Lord of Diabolism, who had been covering the sky with one hand in Lustless Heaven all these years. The other was a peerless genius from the ancient land of Xianyuan after Ling Yin for millions of years.
Nowadays, no one knew what level of cultivation her cultivation had reached. Some people said that her fortune was even above her master, “Excellency Mei Yue”. They did not know how true or false these words were.
It was precisely these two that had an extraordinary relationship in the past. How could everyone not be nervous at this moment?
Xiao Chen slowly walked in front of Qianyu Nichang, holding the unconscious Ruoshui in his hand. He looked at her and said indifferently, “Junior Sister, do you have something to say to senior brother?”
Hearing him say this, everyone in the various sects became even more nervous. He was no longer a disciple of Xuanqing Sect, much less a member of the Righteous path. Why did he still use the old term?
As for Qianyu Nichang, he only looked at him like this and remained silent. No one knew when the two of them had become so cold.
Xiao Chen took a step forward and handed Ruoshui over to her. “She just stayed underwater for too long and temporarily fainted,” he said indifferently. After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the valley, followed by Yang Xiaoran and the others.
Before leaving, Yang Xiaoran looked at Lou Qingshan and Zhao Ying’er and smiled faintly, “Senior Brother Lou, Senior Sister Zhao, goodbye.”
The group of people walked out of the valley like no one else. Xiao Chen walked with his hands behind his back. His head of white hair fluttered in the wind behind his shoulders. Just the aura above ten thousand people caused countless people to tremble. Even if they knew that he had obtained the Eye of the Frost Pool at the bottom of the pond, who would dare to stop him at this moment? Even some seniors with extremely high cultivation in the Righteous Dao Profound Sect had no choice but to concede, not daring to say another word.
Back then, everyone shouted for him to be killed, but now, even if he was the only one here, who would dare to touch him in the slightest? The word Lustless Heaven was enough to cause everyone present to tremble.
…
Where can I find Immortal Traces in the Misty Layer of Clouds?
Seven days later, Xiao Chen had already returned to Lustless Heaven, but seeing that the white clouds were faint and the Immortal Mountain was hidden within, how could such a faint place be related to demons?
According to ancient records, this place was a pure land left behind by the Desire-less Fairy in ancient times. It gathered human spiritual energy here, causing it to float tens of thousands of feet high in the sky without falling.
In the evening, the hall was deserted. Xiao Chen sat alone at the head of the hall, supporting his head with one hand. He closed his eyes gently, as if he was sleepy and fell asleep.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded from outside. A woman dressed in white walked in. It was Bai Luan.
“Your Excellency.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen did not fall asleep. He was just tired. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her. “However, something strange came from the Hidden Cloud Sea.”
Bai Luan walked up, her expression slightly nervous. She cupped her hands and said, “Your Excellency, this subordinate did indeed feel something strange from the Hidden Cloud Sea, but it disappeared in an instant. I came to report it to Your Excellency.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen slowly stood up from his chair and slowly walked down the hall. His eyebrows gradually furrowed. Behind Lustless Heaven, there was a sea of clouds. It was still mysterious. Occasionally, strange movements could be heard from inside.
However, he had never explored the depths of the sea of clouds in the past ten years because he knew that there were some places and taboos that could not be touched.
Therefore, he named the mysterious and unknown sea of clouds “Hidden Cloud Sea”. In these ten years, the Hidden Cloud Sea had almost become Lustless Heaven’s forbidden area, and no one dared to go there.
It was just that a few years ago, the Hidden Cloud Sea only occasionally sent out strange movements that flashed and disappeared. However, in the past two years, those strange movements had become more and more frequent. It was truly unknown what secrets were hidden in the depths of that sea of clouds.
“Your Excellency … do you want to send someone over to take a look?” Bai Luan raised her head and asked softly.
“No need.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand. He hadn’t sent anyone to investigate that place for so long, and he didn’t want any accidents to happen now. He said, “As long as you haven’t threatened Lustless Heaven, don’t pay any attention for the time being.”
“Yes …”
Bai Luan cupped her hands and did not ask any further. She did not know what Excellency was afraid of, and she had never dared to guess what Excellency was thinking.
“Also, did you find the source of the creatures at the bottom of the pond in the Xiqi Mountain Range last time?” Xiao Chen looked at her and asked slowly.
Bai Luan lowered her head and said, “This subordinate … this subordinate is sending someone to investigate this matter. I believe that we will soon be able to find out.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. He turned around and slowly walked towards the head of the hall. Bai Luan lowered her head. She didn’t know what he meant by the word “grace” at this moment. Should she let others find out as soon as possible, or should she let it go for now. She whispered, “Does Your Excellency have any other instructions?”
“I’m tired. You can leave.”
Xiao Chen sat back on the chair at the front of the hall, supported his head with one hand and gently closed his eyes.
“Yes …”
Bai Luan cupped his hands and slowly retreated outside the hall. Night fell silently. There was no candlelight in the hall. Darkness and coldness slowly enveloped the hall. He was the only person in the vast Lustless palace who was slightly lonely and cold.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and began to recall the places he had been to in the past. There seemed to be some strange movements under Immortal North Ancient Realm and Celestial Pogoda, but the few Daoists in Celestial Pogoda kept this a secret and kept it a secret.
In the eastern continent, in the depths of Tomb of Gods and Demons’s forbidden region, several hundred years ago, several experts from Tomb of Gods and Demons went to explore together, but they disappeared into the depths of that forbidden region at the same time, and no news came out.
Ten years ago, he, Meng Xian’er, and the others went deep into the Demon Palace. In the end, in that ancient cave, when he had just successfully transformed into a spirit, an extremely powerful demonic sense came from the depths of the earth. At that time, it was the blood jade on his body that blocked it for him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Just a single strand of demonic sense was already so powerful. What if it was the owner of the demonic sense?
This was the reason why Xiao Chen was deeply afraid of the Hidden Cloud Sea. It was because he always felt that the strange movements that occasionally came from the depths of the Hidden Cloud Sea were somewhat similar to the demonic sense he had sensed in His Highness’ ancient cave.
Xiao Chen didn’t know if he was thinking too much. At this moment, he felt a burst of exhaustion. The cold wind outside the hall blew in.
In the middle of the night, a gentle sound of footsteps sounded from outside the hall. One of them lit the candles on both sides of the hall, then went to the hall and gently draped a piece of clothing over his body.
“Wei Yang?”
Xiao Chen woke up and looked at the flickering candles in the hall. He then looked at the person beside him and rubbed his forehead. “Why am I asleep here?”
Hua Weiyang looked at him and whispered, “Are you still worried about the Hidden Cloud Sea?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and stood up. Looking at the hazy night outside the hall, he said, “In the evening, Bai Luan came to report that something strange had happened in the Hidden Cloud Sea …” Finally, he turned around and looked at her. “The Hidden Cloud Sea is too close to us. If anything happens to Lustless Heaven, it will definitely change.”
