As the Universe Turns - Chapter 720
Chapter 720 Change One’s Fate
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and immediately realized that something was wrong. Her body had not recovered yet, so she was afraid that the Xuanyin Qi in her body would rebound after that.
However, why did that power attack her just now? Could it be that she had seen something with her divine sense in the Hidden Cloud Sea’s forbidden region just now?
Everything was still unknown. She could only wait until she woke up. At this moment, two figures suddenly rushed into the forest. Under the moonlight, they saw two people wearing white clothes, one wearing Zi Yi, and the other Bai Luan and Zi Yuan. It was obvious that they had sensed the strange movements coming from this direction earlier, so they quickly rushed over.
Seeing Excellency hugging the unconscious Palace Master Wei Yang, both of them were slightly surprised. Before they could speak, Xiao Chen said, “Don’t alarm anyone else. Quickly invite Shen Jing to Wei Yang Palace.” As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flickered and he took Hua Weiyang to Lustless palace’s side.
Behind Lustless palace, there was a forest of flowers. Among the colorful trees, there was a palace that seemed to be faintly visible. It was Hua Weiyang’s palace. It was called “Wei Yang Palace”.
“Your Excellency … Palace Master, what happened to her?”
Seeing Xiao Chen arrive in a hurry, Moon immediately walked up. When she saw Hua Weiyang’s completely pale face, even she couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Shen Jing will be coming soon. I will temporarily help her with her cultivation. Don’t let anyone in to disturb her during this period.”
As Xiao Chen spoke, he walked into the palace and carefully placed Hua Weiyang on the bed. His palm immediately circulated the power of the Nine Suns and placed it on her shoulder. However, before Shen Jing came, he did not dare to act rashly.
Master of Moon Valley stood by the side and watched. He didn’t know what had happened, but he didn’t dare to disturb her. After a while, the sound of footsteps outside gradually rang out. Only then did he see Shen Jing hurrying in.
Seeing that the entire room was filled with cold air, Shen Jing’s expression was solemn, and she didn’t say anything else. She immediately sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to take Hua Weiyang’s pulse. After a while, she turned around and looked at Xiao Chen and said, “What happened to her?”
At this moment, Master of Moon Valley had already gone outside. As for Shen Jing, Xiao Chen had nothing to hide, so she told him about Hidden Cloud Sea.
After hearing this, Shen Jing’s expression changed, but she slowly calmed down. She shook her head and said, “It’s not your fault. She herself … is about to die. It’s inevitable that Xuan Yin will backlash.”
“You mean, even if it weren’t for what happened just now, she would …” Xiao Chen looked at Shen Jing with disbelief.
“That’s right.”
Shen Jing nodded. She looked at him and said, “The power you mentioned just now only caused the profound yin on her body to backlash. It was only a few days ahead of time, but in the end, it will definitely arrive.”
“But … Didn’t you say that there are still three years left?”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Shen Jing nodded and said, “Yes, but I also said that since ancient times, those who obey the Heavens will be sad, while those who defy the Heavens will die. Even if I give you another three years, can you successfully change her life? Ten years later, you only have the Eye of the Frost Lake. Even if there are three more years, where do you want to find the remaining six Earth Spirit Veins?”
At the end of her sentence, Shen Jing looked at him motionlessly, “Can your own life be changed?”
“My own life …”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and looked at the patterns on his palm. A few years ago, when he and Shen Jing were going to Suzhou City, a beggar with unkempt hair suddenly ran over from the roadside, insisting on seeing his face.
Shen Jing originally wanted to spend some money, Xiao Chen didn’t mind letting the beggar talk. Unexpectedly, when the beggar looked at his palm, it was as if he had seen a ghost. “My life violated the Heavenly Fiend, my six kinship was shallow, and I was born to restrain my father and mother, so I would definitely be alone. Furthermore, I, Xu Banxian, have never seen such a fierce look in my life. It’s over, it’s over, there, there, there’s no way I can’t be saved …”
How could Shen Jing hear such nonsense? Just as she was about to explode, the beggar had already run away with a strange cry. At this moment, everyone on the roadside seemed to have seen Sha Xing. They all walked around him, far away from him and didn’t dare to approach him.
At this moment, Shen Jing took a deep breath and looked at him. “You don’t have much time for yourself anymore.”
“Nine deaths …”
Xiao Chen slowly put down her palm, but did not take Shen Jing’s words to heart. She only looked at the unconscious Hua Weiyang. It was clearly a blooming year, but she would suffer from the cold all day long. She would then fall asleep, wake up, and wait for death to arrive.
She was still so young, why did she have to wait for death to arrive day by day …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze became fixed. In a short moment, he made all the decisions. No matter what, even if he went against the heavens, he had to change his fate for Hua Weiyang. Whether it was fighting with others or fighting against the heavens!
Shen Jing knew that he had made up his mind and didn’t say anything else. She only asked, “What did you find in the Hidden Cloud Sea?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at the unconscious Hua Weiyang on the bed. “I don’t know what she saw,” he said. “We can only wait for her to wake up.”
“Mm …”
Shen Jing nodded and stopped asking. The night outside was getting darker and darker. Xiao Chen went outside and suddenly saw a person walking over. The person was wearing a battle robe hat and was drifting about. It was none other than Ku Lingzi.
Originally, in Immortal North Ancient Realm, Hua Weiyang was worried that Ku Lingzi would have an ulterior motive to harm her and Xiao Chen, so he had her swear a Three Lives Curse oath to save her soul. Now, the Three Lives Curse oath had been lifted, but Ku Lingzi still stayed in Lustless Heaven.
“Senior.”
Xiao Chen walked over and thought back to the days when Ku Lingzi had taught him three soul techniques. To him, these three soul techniques were still endlessly useful.
At this moment, Ku Lingzi was naturally aware of Hua Weiyang’s situation inside. He looked at him and said, “You still have to insist on changing her life.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and remained silent. After a long time, Ku Lingzi said, “In the past, you weren’t the only one in this world who tried to change fate against the heavens. However, very few people succeeded. Even if you succeeded, you would definitely pay the corresponding price. You often needed to exchange for something …”
“Senior, do you mean that you need to trade a person’s life for hers?” Xiao Chen asked indifferently.
After hearing this, Ku Lingzi did not say anything. After a while, he continued, “There are many things that you might not know until later. There are no lack of people in this world who possess great divine abilities, but in the end, they still obeyed the Heavenly Fate.”
“Heaven’s Will …”
Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the rising sea of clouds in front of him and said indifferently, “What is Heavenly Fate? Predecessor said that only by comprehending the Heavenly Dao would I be able to reach the next realm. However, I neither comprehended nor complied with the Heavenly Dao. Now, I have become the master of this side. If Heavenly Fate wanted me to die under Daoist Feng Yin’s sword ten years ago, then I would have to comply with it too.”
When he said this, he turned around and looked at Ku Lingzi.
Ku Lingzi remained silent. Xiao Chen turned around and took a few steps towards the edge of the cliff. He looked up at the ink sky and said indifferently, “The gods are above all living beings, but what is the will of heaven? It is hard to ask. Even if they are above all living beings, they may not know completely if they … want to comply with the will of heaven.”
At this moment, Ku Lingzi looked at him and suddenly felt that more than ten years had passed. This was already a far cry from the kid he knew in Immortal North Ancient Realm.
“Sigh …”
In the end, with a long sigh, Ku Lingzi’s figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. “In this world, there are only a few people who have successfully changed their fate. If you are fated to meet one of them, perhaps that person will help you …”
Xiao Chen looked at his disappearing back and remained silent.
Three days passed. During these three days, he would visit Wei Yang Palace every day. On the seventh day, Bai Luan and Zi Yuan suddenly came back from outside.
“The creatures beneath the pond have already been found.” Xiao Chen looked at the two and asked indifferently.
“Back to Excellency …”
The two of them walked up and cupped their hands. “This subordinate has already found out that the underwater creature that attacked Excellency was a giant fish monster that only existed in Wuwang Sea.”
“Wuwang Sea … Wuwang Sea’s fish monster has come to the bottom of the Xiqi Mountain Range’s pond. This is truly beyond my expectations.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly turned extremely cold. Even Bai Luan and Zi Yuan couldn’t help but tremble slightly as they stood below. Obviously, someone had wanted to kill him under that pool of water last time.
