As the Universe Turns - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Introduction
Only when she approached did the three elders on the pavilion react. They hurriedly flew down and smiled, “Miss, you’re here.”

“Hehe!”

The girl held a flower that she had just picked by the roadside. She stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully, “I only blame you for the good scenery of Xuanqing Sect. After I let them go back, they walked on their own. However, they were just looking at the scenery. Forget about the hour, the three elders won’t blame me, right?”

The three elders smiled bitterly in their hearts and hurriedly said, “No, no, this girl is joking.”

They knew very well in their hearts that this girl was so talented that it was impossible for her to stay at a small Pingyang Peak. Today, she wanted to participate in the entrance examination together, but it was only a girl’s nature. After the entrance examination was over, she still wanted to go directly to the seven peaks. Therefore, the three of them did not dare to neglect her.

“Hehe, that’s good.”

The young girl smiled and looked at the young ladies as she spoke. No matter how talented she was, her temperament was inevitable. She liked to stay with people of the same age instead of facing those old men whose cultivation was deeper and deeper in the Heavenly Gate all the time.

Zhao Wangsun stared at her without blinking. It was as if even his eyeballs were about to fall out. On the other side, Xiao Yichen appeared much calmer. Although he was not involved in the world, judging from the reactions of the three elders, he knew that this girl’s identity was definitely not trivial. She probably had a great future.

“Alright, it’s getting late today. Let’s start the entrance exam tomorrow.” Elder Yun walked over and looked at the three men from Qingyi as he spoke, “You guys should go back as well.”

Only then did Huang Ying’er withdraw her gaze from the girl and look at Yi Chen. She smiled softly, “Little fellow, cultivate hard in the future. Three years later, I’ll wait for you to come to Wu Nian Peak.”

“Yes!”

Yi Chen nodded his head forcefully. It was not easy for him to have this opportunity to join the Immortal Sect. He naturally had to work hard to live up to this senior sister’s kindness today.

Zhao Ying’er also said a few words to Prince Sun Zhao, then rode a sword light towards the direction of the Medicine Refining Peak. When night fell, the Qingyi man and Huang Ying’er also left. On their way back to Wu Nian Peak, the Qingyi man thought for a long time and finally said, “Junior Sister, I see that idiot’s talent is average. Why did you insist on bringing him into the door?”

Huang Ying’er frowned slightly. She remembered that evening when she met Xiao Yichen in the back mountain. In that instant, she had indeed sensed a trace of immortal energy, but after that, she could no longer sense it. Could it be that she had sensed wrongly?

Seeing that she was silent, the Qingyi man shook his head and smiled. He did not speak anymore. The two of them stepped on their flying swords and quickly disappeared into the endless twilight.

At night, the full moon was like a plate. A clear light fell coldly on the branches, leaving behind a shadow of a tree in the courtyard. Yichen was arranged to live with the other two youths. It was only temporary accommodation. Everything had to wait until the entrance exam was over.

The two teenagers were about the same age as him. They were probably rich young masters of a nearby town. Seeing him sitting by the windowsill in a daze, a red-clothed teenager said, “Your name is Xiao Yichen, isn’t it? Hey, I heard that you beat up Prince Zhao’s grandson last month. Be careful. That fellow will definitely do everything he can to deal with you.”

“If he wants to come, then come.”

Yi Chen sat by the windowsill and looked at the cold moonlight outside. It seemed that he didn’t care at all. The youth behind him said, “I heard that his sister has a big backer in the sect. She is a disciple of the Seven Peaks. She doesn’t even dare to offend the three elders. You should be careful.”

“Oh.”

Yi Chen ignored the two people behind him and sat by the windowsill alone. When he came to Xuanqing Sect at the beginning of the day, it seemed that everything was not as beautiful as he had imagined. He left, and Niang was home alone. Fortunately, Sister Shen Jing was there to accompany her.

When the two youths saw that he had stopped talking, they began to chatter about something. “I heard that as long as you perform well in the entrance exam, you will have a chance to go to the three peaks of the Yangguan Pass, and you may even go directly to the seven peaks of the Xuanqing Pass …”

“Chi, there are seven supreme beings. Which supreme being do you want to go to?”

“You still need to ask? With this young master’s aptitude, he will naturally be a disciple of Venerable Yao Guang.”

“I don’t think you’re awake! Who doesn’t know that Venerable Yao Guang never accepts disciples … Return your aptitude, and you’ll make me laugh out of my morning pee!”

The two youths were fighting in the room, but Yi Chen was sitting on the windowsill alone, looking at the moonlight that filled the courtyard. It was as if the moonlight that was sprinkling all over the ground had also turned into inextricable worries, and there was nothing he could do to avoid them.

…

Because of the arrival of a group of youths and young girls, the originally cold Pingyang Peak became exceptionally lively tonight, making Pingyang Peak’s Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters unhappy. They secretly planned to teach this group of children a lesson tomorrow.

It was only in the middle of the morning that the rows of disciple rooms gradually quieted down. At that time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, on an exceptionally high mountain peak. However, the sea of clouds surged, rising and falling, and the scenery was magnificent. On the edge of the cliff, there was a woman standing on the edge of the cliff, her immortal sleeves floating, holding a blood jade in her hand, as if she was puzzled.

This woman was none other than Fairy Miaoyin, Ling Yin. Above the clouds was the Purple Night Peak, one of the Seven Profound Cyan Peaks. It was as if the entire peak of the mountain was hanging high in the sky. Every time midnight silver light shone down, it would add a bit of loneliness.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the sea of clouds surged even more violently. Fairy Miaoyin frowned and waved her sleeve, turning into a ray of green light that poured into the sea of clouds. In a short moment, she arrived at another mountain peak. This mountain peak had a blurry array formation, and its architectural arrangements were rather exquisite, but it was one of the seven peaks, Yuji Peak.

When they arrived in front of a large hall, a clear male voice sounded out from the hall, “If you pretend to be true, then it’s true. If you pretend to be true, then it’s true … Junior Sister, how can you have the time to come to my Jade Peak tonight?”

Fairy Miaoyin did not say anything. The hall in the radial direction walked over. Inside, there was a weiqi game. The person playing the game was actually two identical men. However, only one of the two men was true and the other was fake. It was impossible to tell which was true and which was false.

“I would like to ask Senior Brother to help me solve the game.” Fairy Miaoyin walked over and said indifferently.

“Oh?”

The man waved his sleeves, then turned away the avatar and looked at her, “Junior Sister, I wonder why you want my foolish brother to solve this problem?”

This man was no one else, Xuan Qing Excellency, one of the Seven Paragons of Yi Huanzhen, was originally Daoist Qingxuan’s junior brother, while Ling Yin was Daoist Qingxuan’s disciple. Logically speaking, Ling Yin should address him as “Martial Uncle”. However, three hundred years ago, Ling Yin inherited the Yaoguang bloodline and changed her status from a disciple to Yaoguang Xuan Qing.

At this moment, Fairy Miaoyin did not say anything. She slowly walked forward and handed over a jade. However, she saw that there was a red light flowing within the jade. It was precisely the blood jade from before.
