As the Universe Turns - Chapter 830
Chapter 830 People on the Ninth Floor
“Haha … Little friends, there’s no need to be nervous. Go ten miles forward and take a look.”
The mysterious voice came from an unknown place again. Qianluo’s expression became slightly nervous as he pulled on Xiao Chen’s sleeve and said, “Childe Xiao, what should we do?”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Xiao Chen gently patted the back of her hand and walked forward. He stared at the pitch-black and deep place and said loudly, “I wonder who senior is trapped here?”
“Haha … What? I’m a person whose cultivation is completely crippled, can’t I still make little friend feel scared?”
The voice came again. This time, Xiao Chen determined the direction of the voice. He looked at Qianluo behind him, indicating that there was no need to be nervous. He went over and took a look.
The two of them immediately walked forward. The further they went, the more they could feel a powerful restrictive aura of formations. At this moment, Xiao Chen had already guessed a little. The person in front of them was most likely the person he and Luo Die had guessed earlier.
However, who exactly was this person? Even though his cultivation was completely crippled, Beigong Clan was still so afraid that he would be trapped under these layers of restrictions, as if he was afraid that he would charge out.
However, even though this person’s cultivation had been crippled earlier, Xiao Chen had no way of speculating whether his cultivation had truly been crippled. Right now, he had to be careful and vigilant.
Moments later, he and Qianluo had already walked about eight to nine miles forward. At this moment, the aura of the formation restriction was already extremely heavy. The two of them could already see from afar that there were specks of ghostly light floating on the hill in front of them, as if it was a faint light emitted by some restriction runes.
“Be careful.”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to protect Qianluo behind him. His footsteps slowed down and he concentrated on walking towards the dark light in front of him. When he neared, he could see clearly that there were actually eight tall black stone tablets on the hill. Each stone tablet was about 30 feet tall, and was covered with restrictive runes, forming an Eight Trigrams Formation.
At the center of the restriction array was another stone platform. On that stone platform was a person. That person’s cloak was emitted, covering his face. His hands, feet, and body were tightly locked by eight chains.
Upon closer inspection, four of the chains locked his hands and feet, two chains penetrated the pipa bone, and two chains locked his waist and abdomen. Seeing such a terrifying scene, Qianluo couldn’t help but jump in fright, only feeling the chill behind her back.
When Xiao Chen saw this person for the first time, he couldn’t help but recall the scene when he met Senior Monster back then. At that time, Senior Monster was also like this. He was unkempt, half human and half ghost, and who was this person in front of him?
“May I know what Senior will call you? And who is imprisoning you here?”
Xiao Chen looked at the people inside the restriction array and slowly stopped. If he continued forward, the restriction was too heavy, so he couldn’t rashly approach it.
A cold sound of iron chains rang out. The man raised his head. Although his hair was loose and he was imprisoned in the formation, the two eyes that Xiao Chen saw at this moment were actually so deep. It was as if there were no stars at night, giving off an unfathomable feeling. He immediately concluded that this person was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Just call me Guan Zhen. As for why I’m imprisoned here, that’s a long story …” The man looked at him and slowly said.
“Guan Zhen …”
Xiao Chen lowered his head and pondered. He thought it was someone from the Spirit Ruins Realm. He had never heard of this name before. That person smiled and said, “What? You’ve never heard of this name? I guess so. I’ve been imprisoned here for forty years.”
“The surname of I am is Xiao. The name is Yi Chen.” Xiao Chen looked at him and said indifferently.
“Oh? Descendants of the Xiao Clan in the Central Plains? Interesting …” Guan Zhen looked at him, seemingly very interested.
“Fei Ye.” Xiao Chen said indifferently, “When I am was a child, it was Master who picked it up. The name was also given by Master …”
“Oh?”
Guan Zhen still had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Qianluo behind him. Xiao Chen said, “This is Miss Luo Die, a friend of I am.”
“Luo Die … greets Senior Guan Zhen.”
Qianluo bowed slightly. Although she didn’t know who this person was, she thought that he was definitely extraordinary. Now that the two of them were trapped in this illusion, she could only try to see if this person in front of her had a way out.
At this time, Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and glanced at the eight restriction steles around him. He said, “Is there any way for I am to help Old Master Guan with this restriction?”
“Hmph …”
Guan Zhen looked at him with a smile and said, “Little brother may have extraordinary abilities, but this restriction is not something that little friend can break at present.”
Xiao Chen looked around and continued, “Senior, do you know how to break this illusion?”
Hearing this, Qianluo’s expression became serious. What she was most concerned about right now was naturally how to break this illusion with Xiao Chen and escape.
Guan Zhen snorted and looked at him, “Then do you know what Spiritual Energy is in such a big illusion?”
Actually, Xiao Chen had already guessed that such a vast and boundless illusion would have to be supported by a very powerful Spiritual Energy. That would be the Unparalleled Ancestral Meridian under Wushuang City.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Guan Zhen nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s the unparalleled ancestral vein underground. Not only is this cave illusory world, there is also the seal that seals me, as well as the Sealing Heaven and Earth Sealing Formation. The source of the Spiritual Energy is the unparalleled ancestral vein underground.”
“In that case, there is only one way to break this illusion and the restriction formation on it, and that is to destroy this ancestral vein of Wushuang City …”
Qianluo lowered her head and pondered for a moment before finally raising her head again, “But, how can I destroy this ancestral vein?”
“Hmph …”
Guan Zhen snorted and said, “If you want to destroy this ancestral vein under Wushuang City, not to mention destroying its feng shui first, it would be very troublesome. Besides, could it be that both of you already have the cultivation of a Quasi-Sage?”
Hearing this, Qianluo was stunned for a moment, but she immediately reacted. The ancestral veins of a clan, regardless of their size, were formed from countless generations of people. How could it be said that destruction could destroy them?
Although this ancestral vein at the foot of Wushuang City was not the main ancestral vein of the Beigong clan, if one wanted to forcefully destroy it, it would probably require the cultivation of a Quasi-Sage.
However, apart from destroying this ancestral vein under Wushuang City, could there be any other way? For a moment, Qianluo fell into deep thought. What else could he do …
“Not necessarily. We must destroy it.”
Right at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly said. Qianluo was stunned for a moment, then he looked up at him and said, “What Childe Xiao means is …”
“Wouldn’t it be better to’use it for me ‘than to destroy it?” Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her.
“For my own use …”
Qianluo lowered his head and pondered for a moment. In the next moment, he immediately came to a realization. He raised his head and a trace of shock flashed across his face. “Could it be that Childe Xiao is planning to …”
“Haha, not bad, not bad …”
Inside the formation, Guan Zhen suddenly burst into laughter, causing the chains to emit an icy cold sound. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “They trapped you down here, but they never expected that you would be their nightmare …”
