As the Universe Turns - Chapter 849
Chapter 849 Illusion
Actually, everything complemented each other. Yin and Yang were balanced. If there was one Yin, there would always be one Yang. If there was one disadvantage, there would always be one benefit.
Three Corpse Demon might not be completely bad for him, at least because he had Three Corpse Demon inside his body, so he could enter and leave places like Tomb of Gods and Demons without the slightest fear of the ancient Gas of Gods and Demons.
However, he didn’t know if Three Corpse Demon would have any advantages or disadvantages whenever he woke up. As long as Three Corpse Demon woke up in his body, the strength of his entire body would increase exponentially in that short period of time. However, his mind would always go berserk, and he would always be killed to the point where he would be controlled by Three Corpse Demon.
If Three Corpse Demon completely erupted, perhaps he would have the power to fight a Quasi-Saint or even a Saint in a short period of time. However, if he could, he hoped that day would never come, because once Three Corpse Demon fully formed and erupted, he would undoubtedly die.
…
After about an incense stick, Xiao Chen focused on calming his Qi and began to slowly reverse his meridians. At this moment, he could clearly feel bursts of stinging pain coming from his body. It was as if tens of thousands of tiny needles were piercing through his meridians and the slowly counterflowing true Qi.
In the process of retrograde meridians, one had to be very careful, otherwise, one would be able to injure the primordial spirit of the meridians, and one would be tempted to go mad.
As time passed, the stinging pain became more and more obvious and gradually became scorching hot. Xiao Chen naturally would not forget that back in Xuanqing Sect, he had severed his meridians once. Afterwards, Shen Jing used extremely high medical skills and the heaven-defying methods of the Nine Transformations to renew his meridians.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that where his meridians had been severed, this stinging pain was especially obvious. That day, beneath Wushuang City, he was unable to break through to the True Cave Stage with the help of the ancestral meridians of Wushuang City. This time, he could try to break through this obstacle with his retrograde meridians.
As time passed, a day passed. The Taoist School had a technique of inner observation. At this moment, Xiao Chen was dispersing his divine sense into his body, and he could clearly sense everything. It took him a day to finally find the strand of black gas hidden deep within his body. It was the form that the Three Corpse Demon had manifested in his body.
“I finally found it …”
Even though Xiao Chen was currently in a state of retrograde meridians, his consciousness was still very clear, and he was not affected by the countercurrent of true energy.
Along with his meridians retrograde, the zhenqi that normally passed through Three Corpse Demon was now moving in the opposite direction. As such, Three Corpse Demon was constantly resisting, trying to draw back the countercurrent zhenqi for it to grow.
“Hmph …”
Xiao Chen sneered in his heart. It seemed that the method that Ku Lingzi had come up with, Sure enough, the person who injected the Three Corpse Demon into his body back then was indeed very powerful and clever. Even Master was unable to completely dissolve the Three Corpse Demon. However, how could that person have imagined that after so many years, he would be able to reverse the meridians in his entire body, causing his true energy to flow backwards, so as to suppress the growth of the Three Corpse Demon …
Suddenly, another thought flashed through his mind. Now that he could suppress the growth of the Three Corpse Demon, would it be possible to control it in the future? If he could completely control the Three Corpses Demon and use its power at will, perhaps that person would never have imagined …
However, this thought was too dangerous. It was like having an ordinary person tame a bloodthirsty beast. If he wasn’t careful, he would be devoured by Three Corpse Demon.
After an unknown amount of time passed, Xiao Chen remained in seclusion. On this day, it was as if he had fallen into a deep dream. He was trapped in that dream, unable to wake up.
His face suddenly turned red and white, cold sweat condensed on his forehead, and white smoke suffused his back. It was a sign that he had fallen into a demonic state!
“Ah Rou, hurry up and leave! You must take the child and live …”
“No … Brother Feng …”
“Ah Rou! Be obedient, he’s catching up …”
…
“None of you can leave!”
…
“Brother Feng … in the next life, goodbye …”
“Ah Rou! No–Ah!! No! Ah Rou–no!”
…
“Tai Huazi, why must you force me! Give me back my life! Ah–”
“This … this is! This is the power of the third realm! How … is he possible! Elder … be careful!”
“Get out of the way!”
“Boom boom boom boom boom–”
…
“If it’s a boy, I’ll pass all my skills on to him in the future. If it’s a girl, Ah Rou, can you teach her how to play the zither, weiqi, calligraphy and painting …”
“Ah Rou … I’ve already thought of our child’s name. Just call him … Yi Chen, Yi Chen …”
“Ah Rou, can you hear me? Ah Rou …”
…
“Ah!”
Inside the cave, Xiao Chen suddenly woke up. His entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and his face was still pale. The dream just now was like what he had seen with his own eyes. He remembered the location of the flowers and grass inside …
Why would there be such a dream …
At this moment, it was as if he had lost his soul. He quickly took out something from his sleeve. It was an ice-cold blood jade. Just now, in his dream, he saw this blood jade hanging around the baby’s neck …
Why … was there a feeling of bloodline connection?
The two people in the dream, who exactly are they …
There was also that person, that immortal-like person who was filled with killing intent …
At this moment, Xiao Chen didn’t know why, but an unspeakable hatred actually arose in his heart. However, that person’s aura, even in his dreams, made him feel incomparably suffocated. It was countless times stronger than the divine sense he felt in the mountain forest that day. Was that … a Saint realm expert?
“Heavenless Palace, Tai Huazi …”
…
At this moment, amidst the falling flowers on the Jade Water Cloud Platform, there was only one person who was cultivating calmly on the island. That person was Qianluo. Today was already the seventh day, and she was still unable to comprehend the second volume of Tai Shang Feng Qing, even if it was only the first one.
“Uh …”
Suddenly, her face turned pale and she suddenly opened her eyes. However, her eyes were incomparably bloody red, emitting an extremely heavy killing intent.
“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”
The killing intent turned into a gust of wind, destroying all the flowers on the nearby peach trees. The fragmentary flowers fell from the sky. The hatred and killing intent in her eyes did not lessen, but instead increased. It was faintly out of control.
After an unknown amount of time, a gentle breeze blew over and she finally woke up. The island was covered in withered peach blossoms. Qianluo couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. What exactly happened just now? Why did the murderous heart suddenly become so heavy …
She had cultivated for more than ten years and had never experienced such a situation before. Could it be that she had rashly cultivated the second volume?
She had yet to comprehend the second volume of the Supreme Forgetfulness. She had only cultivated for a little while and did not really cultivate. Could it be that just because of this, her mind would gradually lose its consciousness?
Qianluo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face was filled with deep worry. If it was really as his father had said, he must … cut off all love, hatred, and enmity in the world before he could cultivate this forgetfulness, then …
She let out a long sigh and slowly arrived at the edge of the island. Pieces of dancing peach blossoms landed on her shoulders and hair tips … Suddenly, the scene of that day appeared in her mind.
