As the Universe Turns - Chapter 719
Chapter 719 Mysterious Restriction
Actually, what Hua Weiyang was most worried about right now was not the strange movements of the Hidden Cloud Sea. He asked, “Everything went smoothly on this trip to the Xiqi Mountain Range.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked at the night outside the hall. He said, “I encountered some small troubles, but it’s fine.”
“Is that so …”
Hua Weiyang looked at him and said, “I heard that Tai Shi Dao Sect and the Lu Family suddenly appeared in the valley that day.”
Hearing her say this, Xiao Chen turned his head. Yes, even if Bai Luan didn’t tell her what happened in the Xiqi Mountains, how could she not know? He said, “It’s just a small snack. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Hua Weiyang gradually raised her eyebrows. Actually, what she was most worried about right now was not the strange movements of the Hidden Cloud Sea, but if this continued, he would eventually become the target of public criticism.
Lustless Heaven’s influence was getting bigger and bigger. If the people in Diabolism were united, it would be fine. However, Patriarch Motian, the people from Xiaoyao Tower and White Cloud Pavilion must have already thought of something else. Now that he had obtained the Eye of the Frost Lake, he was afraid that those people in the Righteous path would not be able to sit still.
Those in the Righteous path would definitely not allow him to gather in Spiritual Bloodline Force, especially now that a mysterious Tai Shi Dao Sect had appeared. Even now, they did not know what Tai Shi Dao Sect’s ultimate goal was. Although everything seemed to be fine now, Lustless Heaven was already in danger. The Righteous path was about to be eliminated, and so were those in Patriarch Motian.
These were the first reason. There was another thing that she was very worried about. It was the life and death backlash in Xiao Chen’s body. Twenty years was coming. If she could not find the unique undying heart in the world, then it would probably be as Fairy Su Wen had said.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could naturally see the worry in her heart and said, “Don’t worry, I have already comprehended the Concept of Immortality. Even if I do reach that stage, it might not be as Fairy Su Wen said.”
Just as he finished speaking, another strange movement suddenly came from outside. It was behind Lustless Heaven, in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Sea. Hua Weiyang turned around and looked outside. He knew that he had been worried about the Hidden Cloud Sea and said, “Otherwise, why don’t I accompany you to take a look?”
“But …”
Xiao Chen hesitated, worried that if her body hadn’t recovered, then how cold was Lustless Heaven’s back? She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
At this moment, Hua Weiyang turned around and smiled at him. At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the scene when we met at the beginning of the year. There was a sense of liveliness and playfulness in her beauty and adorability. She smiled and said, “Back then, you insisted that I return the zither to the Immortal Retention Sect. At that time, you did not hesitate like this.”
Hearing her suddenly mention the past, Xiao Chen smiled. In the past few years, the two of them had occasionally gotten closer and farther away, but only now did they feel that there was no barrier between them, as if they had returned to the past.
…
Behind Lustless Heaven, the sea of clouds surged, and the temperature plummeted. The cold wind still carried bone-chilling ice fragments. Xiao Chen draped his coat over Hua Weiyang and looked at the faintly visible sea of clouds. Within the sea of clouds, faint immortal mountains appeared, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace, like a mirage in the clouds.
Moving forward, there was the Hidden Cloud Sea. Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became serious, but Hua Weiyang’s expression did not change. He said, “The strange movement just now should have come from there.”
As he spoke, he saw her condense her fingers, and a Spiritual Energy instantly enveloped Xiao Chen and her entire body. This Spiritual Energy was sufficient to cover up the entire aura of the two of them.
Even though she was often frightened of the cold and weak, her strength was still there. Especially her Spiritual Energy, which was the purest Spiritual Energy in the world. No one could compare to her. Even though Qianyu Nichang, who had already cultivated the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, had a higher cultivation than her, she could not compare to Spiritual Energy.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already arrived in front of the Hidden Cloud Sea. Hua Weiyang smiled softly, “In the past, you were quite afraid of this place. Why don’t I show you around tonight?” As he spoke, he gently jumped into the sea of clouds.
Under the moonlight, but seeing that the two of them had extraordinary lightning arts, they could travel a very long distance in the air with just a light tap on the floating island.
Along the way, Hua Weiyang always had a faint smile on her face. When she arrived at this mysterious and dangerous unknown place, she was like a playboy. It was truly unimaginable that she was a woman who was actually bolder than many men. Even if there were so many men in the world, she would probably feel a chill run down her spine after arriving here, right?
However, Xiao Chen thought for a moment. Wasn’t she always like this? In the past, when a person went to the Liuxian Sect to steal zither and went to Xuan Qing alone, she was still disguised as herself in Pingdingshan to deceive the people of the various sects in the Northern Region. She was really like a little witch who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. She was bolder than anyone else.
As they pondered, the two of them had already arrived at the depths of the Hidden Cloud Sea. Indeed, there was a mountain peak there, surrounded by countless floating islands. Under the moonlight, it looked rather mysterious and strange.
“Wait …”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Hua Weiyang. Indeed, there was a problem here. The appearance of these mountain islands here was extraordinary. Normally, they could not be seen at all. From the outside, only the shadows of these mountain islands could be seen occasionally.
“There’s such a demonic aura in this place. If I’m not mistaken, those islands should be some sort of formation.”
Xiao Chen stared at the floating islands in the distance. This place was like a forbidden region, filled with restrictions. He was even more certain that there must be something here. It seemed that it was left behind from ancient times. It was so close to Lustless Heaven. Could it be related to the Lustless Fairy? However, there was clearly a trace of demonic aura hidden within the mountain peak …
Why … would there be a trace of demonic aura?
Just as the two of them were deep in thought, a dozen or so floating islands around them trembled slightly. Then, a mysterious force shot out from the mountain peak and rushed towards the two of them!
At this moment, Xiao Chen immediately reacted. He stretched out his hand to block that power. Unexpectedly, this power actually bypassed him and headed straight for Hua Weiyang.
“Wei Yang …”
Xiao Chen instantly reacted. Could it be that Wei Yang had triggered the restriction here just now? Turning around, Hua Weiyang’s hands formed seals, struggling to resist this sudden mysterious force. However, he was unable to resist it in the end, and with a “bang”, he was sent flying backwards.
This time, it came too quickly. Xiao Chen did not expect it. At this moment, he rushed forward and caught Hua Weiyang. However, her face was pale and she had fainted.
Suddenly, the entire nearby sea of clouds surged. The restrictive aura became heavier and heavier. He didn’t dare to stay here any longer. He moved his body, stepped on the void, and returned.
After returning to Lustless Heaven, everything slowly calmed down. There was a very strong defensive barrier outside Lustless Heaven, and no force could penetrate it.
Xiao Chen hugged Hua Weiyang and landed in a flower forest. Under the moonlight, her face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was getting colder and colder.
