As the Universe Turns - Chapter 759
Chapter 759 Life
Hearing this, the expressions of the people behind them became serious. Situ Wenqing furrowed his brows and asked, “Then what should we do?”
Xiao Chen slowly squatted down and stretched out his hand to twist a few grains of soil. He said, “Dig, dig underground from here until it clears …”
“Absurd!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Xiangguo interrupted sternly, “This is the tomb of the first emperor of our Lei Xia Kingdom. Is it something that can be dug up just by digging?”
Everyone else remained silent. If they wanted to dig underground from this place, although it wouldn’t be difficult, it was indeed a bit ridiculous. If they randomly moved the earth and destroyed the feng shui in the secret realm, then there was an ancient imperial tomb below. This was absolutely impossible to dig.
After a long silence, Situ Wenqing frowned and said, “Childe Xiao, is there really only one way? Is there no other way?”
Xiao Chen said, “This is the only method. There is no other way.”
After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued, “If I let this Eye of Spirit Veins stay under the secret realm, no one can predict what the consequences will be.”
“I know …”
Situ Wenqing nodded. He naturally knew that the arrival of the Eye of Spirit Veins would definitely bring trouble to the Thunder Xia Kingdom. Moreover, it was still in the Thunder Xia secret realm, not far from the palace. There was already an outsider rebellion. If there was anything else, the entire Thunder Xia Kingdom would probably be in danger.
“Nonsense!”
Qin Xiangguo flicked his sleeve and looked at Xiao Chen. “Don’t be alarmist here. There are many restrictions in the Thunder Xia Secret Realm. Who can break them?”
Xiao Chen still ignored him and looked at Situ Wenqing. “That day in the Land of Thunder, Senior wanted a thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit. If my guess is correct, it should be to cure the Princess’ illness, right?”
Hearing this, Situ Wenqing’s expression froze. Could it be that he actually wanted to exchange the Thousand Year Vermillion Fruit? “What did little friend say?”
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Senior is indeed knowledgeable, but you may not know all the strange things in the world. In my opinion, what the princess suffers from is not illness, but fate … Coincidentally, I have the ability to solve this fate.”
“You said that you can cure the royal sister? Is that true?”
Hearing what he said, the expression on the Second Prince’s face immediately became nervous. The rest of the people also looked at him and remained silent. At this moment, they were all thinking in their hearts, who exactly was he, who had such formidable abilities? The little princess’ strange illness was untreatable in the entire Thunder Xia Kingdom and even in the entire Wuwang Sea. Was he really able to cure it?
“Three days.” Xiao Chen looked at Situ Wenqing and said indifferently.
Situ Wenqing’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. This matter was of great importance. Moreover, there had been an outsider invasion recently. It was impossible for him to make the decision by himself. He nodded and said, “Allow me to go back and ask His Majesty what he meant.”
…
That night, the moonlight was as cold as ice. Above the main hall, King Thunder Xia frowned deeply and remained silent. Situ Wenqing and the others stood below, silent as well.
After a long time, Situ Wenqing asked, “Your Majesty … what are your plans?”
King Thunder Xia still frowned. Naturally, he had already weighed the pros and cons. The secret realm was not suitable to be touched. Moreover, it was still the tomb of the first emperor. However, if he allowed the Eye of Spirit Veins to remain under the secret realm, he was afraid that something unexpected would really happen next. Moreover, the other party could save his little daughter. Only by agreeing to this condition would the other party be able to save him.
It wasn’t until midnight that King Thunder Xia finally decided to dig down from the secret realm tomorrow according to Xiao Chen’s request. This matter was left to Situ Wenqing to handle, and he absolutely couldn’t destroy the tomb of the first emperor.
The next day, Situ Wenqing told Xiao Chen about this matter and went to the Little Princess’ palace with him and Meng Xian’er. Flowers bloomed in the courtyard like brocades, but these flowers would wither and wither before long, and then they would be replaced with new flowers.
That young guard Qianye had been accompanying the little princess in the palace. Normally, there weren’t many people here, even maids and maids were pitifully few. If some palace maids with no cultivation came here, they would most likely be seriously ill in a few days. As time passed, no one would come here.
Today, the weather was fine. Situ Wenqing, the Second Prince, Xiao Chen, and Meng Xian’er came to the courtyard. Seeing that they were here, the bodyguard Qianye immediately walked up and said, “Greetings, Your Highness, Crown Prince.”
“Hehe, big brother, you’re here …”
Although the little princess’s face was pale, her smile was like a flower. During this period of time, the second prince had been running around in search of spiritual medicine. He had just returned and was busy resisting the invasion of other races. Therefore, it had been a long time since the siblings had met.
At this time, the Second Prince walked up and gently stroked the green silk beside the princess’s ear. He smiled gently and said, “Is Yi Yi doing well these days?”
“Mm-hmm!”
The little princess’s smile blossomed like a flower. It was no longer as gloomy as it had been a few days ago. Xiao Chen stood at the side and watched this scene. He couldn’t help but think of Wei Yang. Wei Yang was a once-in-a-lifetime Profound Yin Body. She must have been sick and tortured when she was young. Did she also have a brother who loved her so much …
“Yiyi, let me tell you, this is Childe Xiao and Dream Fairy …”
The Second Prince was busy with the invasion of another race yesterday. He didn’t know that the little princess had already come to the hall and seen the two of them. He pulled her to the front of the two of them. The little princess stuck out her tongue and playfully said, “Yi Yi saw Brother Xiao and Sister Meng yesterday.”
“Oh?”
The Second Prince was still unaware of this matter. He looked at the Crown Prince beside him and Situ Wenqing told him everything. After hearing this, the little princess was stunned. However, the guard Qianye quickly walked up and nervously looked at Xiao Chen, “You really have a way to save the princess!”
“Yes.”
Xiao Chen only said one word.
“Great … Great!”
Qianye’s expression became extremely excited. He looked at the little princess in front of him and said, “Princess, your illness can be cured! It can be cured …”
The little princess was still a little dumbfounded. She still hadn’t recovered from her shock and murmured, “Ah Ye is saying that I can live …”
“That’s right … That’s right, it’s like this!”
Qianye was still extremely excited. The little princess looked at him and slowly revealed a smile. “I can survive now, so I can go with Ah Ye to see the outside world. I can go to the valley water, to the top of the cliff, to many places that Ah Ye said …”
The Second Prince also revealed a smile that he had never seen before. His younger sister had suffered from a strange illness since childhood, so she could only stay in the Imperial City. She could not go too far to avoid accidents. In three days, it would be her eighteenth birthday. In these eighteen years, she had never seen the outside world. She could only hear Qianye talk about it in her ears.
“Digging through the mausoleum, this matter is not small …”
Suddenly, Situ Wenqing frowned and said. Qianye immediately regained his senses. He cupped his hands and said, “Leave this matter to Qianye. It will definitely be completed within three days!”
“Mm …”
Situ Wenqing nodded slightly. Now that the Thunder Xia Kingdom was in danger of being invaded by outsiders and the capital lacked people, it was impossible for him to defend the tomb. He could only leave it to another person. Qianye was perfect.
Suddenly, he raised his arm and pointed at the center of Qianye’s eyebrows. A white light pierced into it and said, “This is the restriction formula to open the Mausoleum of the Emperor. Don’t tell anyone. Also, make sure that the Eye of the Spirit Veins is safe and sound. The Mausoleum of the Emperor cannot be damaged.”
“Qianye understands that he must fulfill his mission!”
Qianye’s expression was solemn. Although he was young, his martial dao was not shallow. Perseverance, courage, and responsibility surpassed the countless cultivators of Lei Xia Kingdom.
Qianye’s brows furrowed when he arrived outside the princess’ bedroom. He looked through the window and saw the princess lying on the bed. She smiled at him and said, “Ah Ye, you have to come back early. Then, take me to the highest mountain in the Kingdom of Lei Xia …”
“Yes, Princess, wait for me to come back!” Qianye also looked at her and smiled. He had never been so happy before. After a long time, he turned around and left.
The secret realm was no small matter. There were 72 Lei Xia experts and many soldiers stationed outside. Inside, Qianye led his men to start digging and digging underground. From here on down, they would definitely pass through the underground tomb. Everyone had to be cautious. They couldn’t destroy the tomb, and they had to slowly open the restriction of the tomb.
At this time, the rest of the people in the princess’ bedroom retreated outside. Xiao Chen only allowed Meng Xian’er to stay. During this period, he controlled life and death to neutralize the princess’ life and death, as well as the death energy in her body. At the same time, he needed Meng Xian’er to protect the princess’ heart veins with the [Ice Heart Yun Yue Art] to prevent any accidents.
“The princess only needs to sleep peacefully. When she wakes up three days later, nothing will happen …”
Xiao Chen’s voice was faint. As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his palm and the Princess slowly fell asleep. She closed her eyes lightly and her curved long eyelashes trembled. She was exceptionally beautiful.
“Her life, so many people in Lei Xia Kingdom are helpless, do you really have a solution?” Meng Xian’er looked at him and asked with a frown.
“What can’t be solved is fate. What can be solved is fate.”
Xiao Chen’s tone was indifferent. This sentence was as if he was speaking to her as well as to himself. Once he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated. He immediately activated the Life and Death Control. The entire room was instantly filled with a violent wind. The screen of the door and window continued to shake, and the long hair behind his shoulders continued to fly.
At this moment, in his heart, he still remembered what Senior Sword Immortal Chu Tianyao had said back then. It was best not to use life and death so easily, regardless of whether it was life force or death force.
Meng Xian’er remained silent. She had never thought that there would be a heaven-defying divine ability like Life and Death in this world that could be used to kill or save people. If someone was killed by Life and Death, then there would be no solution. Even their primordial spirit would not be able to be preserved …
…
Three days later, inside the Thunder Summer Secret Realm, it was unknown how deep they had dug into the ground. Outside, seventy-two palace masters were guarding it strictly, and not even a single sparrow could fly in.
At this moment, two strands of strange mist suddenly swept over from afar. One was cyan and the other was black. They instantly turned into two figures. One was a woman wearing Qingyi, and the other was a man wearing black. Both of them had a bit of evil aura on their bodies.
“Who is it! The forbidden area of the Imperial City is forbidden from approaching!”
Seeing these two people suddenly appear, the seventy-two palace masters immediately became alert. However, before they could draw their swords, the woman from Qingyi raised her arm and green threads flew out from her sleeves, instantly piercing through everyone’s eyebrows and throats.
“Uh …”
Some of the seventy-two experts fell down before they could even react. All of their eyes were wide open, and blood flowed from their orifices. Even their primordial spirits were destroyed in an instant. As for the soldiers outside, none of them had come in to notify them. Most likely, all of them had died.
