As the Universe Turns - Chapter 856
Chapter 856 Jade Pivot Secret Realm
Qianyu Nichang looked at him and frowned slightly, “Next month, Chongyang.”
“Chongyang … what’s wrong with Chongyang?” Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. Next month, the ninth day of the ninth month, was Chongyang. There was only half a month left until now.
Qianyu Nichang said, “These past few years, you have disturbed the Spiritual Veins everywhere and gathered countless Lustless Heaven for Spiritual Bloodline Force. All forces have accumulated a long-standing grudge. Next month, in Chongyang, all forces, be it the Righteous and Demonic Daos, will gather in Zhongyue Peak. If you want to discuss the matter of the Spiritual Veins, they should also let you go.”
“Oh …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. “In that case, it’s time to try Xiao for all these years … But I’m curious, Shen Cangming controlled the Heavenly Gate for three hundred years and took away countless Spiritual Bloodline Force. Why didn’t anyone bother him …”
Qianyu Nichang frowned and said, “Shen Cangming hides Wuwang Sea far away. If he returns to Xianyuan Five Realms, the entire Righteous path will not let him go …”
“Is that so …”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly. He tapped his feet and flew out of the valley. In a short moment, he disappeared. He only sent a sentence from afar, “Is the Double Sun Gathering … Probably I will come.”
Qianyu Nichang looked at his disappearing back. Actually, she would rather hope that he would not come to Chongyang this time because she could feel that the matter behind this time was definitely not simple.
…
The seven peaks shrouded in the darkness were exceptionally quiet. Whether it was Lian Feng Tower’s Heavenspan Stone Pillar or the Absolute Cliff Valley below, they were all extremely quiet.
Purple Night Peak’s sea of clouds rose and fell for thousands of kilometers. There were many wonders in Xuan Qing, and Purple Night Peak occupied the first place. Especially since Ling Yin came over three hundred years ago, it had rebuilt this place. Although it had added a lot of loneliness, it made the mountain even more like a paradise on earth.
At this moment, Ling Yin’s clothes were floating on top of the clouds. She held a jade flute in her hand and stood there reflecting the moon. Looking at the sea of clouds, her silent back had not moved for a long time.
How could she not know that Xiao Chen had just come to Xuan Qing?
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose. Under the moonlight, the sea of clouds gradually surged to both sides, but a figure flew over from the middle. That person was handsome and elegant, surrounded by immortal energy. It was none other than Excellency Yi Huanzhen, the Secret of Heaven.
Among the seven Saints of Xuan Qing, Daoist Qingxuan might still be the leader in terms of cultivation, but in terms of concealment, no one would be able to compare to this Excellency of Heaven’s Secrets.
As everyone knew, of the seven, he had the best relationship with Ling Yin. In the past, he even treated her as his Martial Nephew. However, Yuji Peak was very far from Purple Night Peak. I wonder why he came to Purple Night Peak tonight.
“Junior Sister.”
At this moment, Yi Huanzhen lightly tapped his feet and floated down from the sea of clouds to the edge of the cliff. Ling Yin looked at him with a calm expression, “Senior Brother, what are you doing in Purple Night Peak tonight?”
“It’s for the matter of Chongyang.”
Yi Huanzhen looked at her and slowly said, “On the 9th of next month, all forces gathered in Zhongyue Peak. On the surface, all forces seemed to be related to the Ancient Earth Spirit Vein of Xianyuan, but in reality, there was a common contradiction. This contradiction was directed at … Lustless Heaven.”
There was still no change on Ling Yin’s face. He took two steps forward and said after a long time, “These past few years, he has gathered Spiritual Bloodline Force everywhere, regardless of everything. Even if no one is behind this, one day, Lustless Heaven will still be the target of public criticism.”
Yi Huanzhen frowned and said, “Junior Sister also knows that behind Chongyang, there is someone pushing the tide. In Junior Sister’s opinion, is this person coming for Lustless Heaven or me, Xuan Qing?”
The night wind blew slowly. The cliff suddenly fell into an incomparable silence. Ling Yin remained silent. Xuanqing Sect was now the leader of the Righteous path in the world. If his spiritual veins were unstable, then the world would be unstable. If all forces pointed their swords at Lustless Heaven at the Chongyang Meeting next month, wouldn’t it be obvious that Xuan Qing would lead the crowd and point their swords at Lustless Heaven?
“Looks like this person is most likely here for me, Xuan Qing.”
Ling Yin said indifferently. Yi Huanzhen nodded and said, “Just as Junior Sister said, I’m afraid it’s the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, an extraterritorial force …”
“Not only for me, Xuan Qing, but also for what reason.”
Ling Yin’s face was still as still as water. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the sea of clouds and said, “I guess it was most likely for the Jade Pivot Secret Realm.”
At this point, Yi Huanzhen paused. He continued, “The Jade Pivot Secret Realm is the only relatively complete secret realm that remained after the Ancient Oriental Cultivation Realm was shattered in the last annihilation era. No one knows the secrets hidden within it. However, more than 3,000 years ago, the entire Jade Pivot Secret Realm was hidden in Xuanqing Mountain. It is rumored that only Ancestor Xuanzhen knows where it is, and no one has discovered it yet.”
“Jade Pivot Secret Realm …”
Even though she had already guessed a little, Ling Yin’s face still changed slightly when she heard these four words. However, she quickly returned to normal and said indifferently, “If they come for the Jade Pivot Secret Realm, I’m afraid those people will be disappointed and return …”
Yi Huanzhen said, “There are spiritual veins under the seven peaks of Xuan Qing. Of course, no one can move. I’m just worried that they will use Yi Chen at the Chongyang Meeting. Besides, I heard that Yi Chen’s trip to Spirit Ruins Realm seems to have attracted Heavenless Palace’s attention. Junior Sister should have already known about Yi Chen’s background.”
“Heavenless Palace …”
At this moment, Ling Yin finally frowned. Yi Huanzhen said, “They weren’t originally from the Spirit Ruins Realm. In the last annihilation era, the Ancient Oriental Cultivation Realm was shattered. They were originally from the Ancient Oriental Cultivation Realm, including the six great ancient races. They were once glorious in an era, but now they have declined because their ancestors violated the Heavenly Dao Taboos … If it was back then, even the people from the Four Seas Desolates and Eight Desolates would not fear them.”
At this point, Yi Huanzhen paused for a moment, He turned around and looked at the rising and falling sea of clouds. “in contrast to that ancient land of Xianyuan, However, it is only a short history of 10,000 years. 10,000 years ago, the entire human world was filled with demons and even mortals were enslaved by the gods. Only after Qing Emperor appeared 10,000 years ago did the situation change … But even so, our heritage is far inferior to the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, and even more inferior to the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. Sigh … “At the end of his sentence, he let out a long sigh.
Ling Yin took two steps forward and looked at the rising and falling sea of clouds. “But don’t forget, senior brother. Back then, Qing Emperor calmed down the world, the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, and the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. Is there anyone who can compete with it?” He said indifferently.
Hearing this, Yi Huanzhen smiled embarrassedly and said, “Junior Sister is right, but you are foolish brother. You are underestimating yourself …”
The night was getting deeper and deeper. Ling Yin looked at the sea of clouds in front of him and didn’t say anything. Back then, Qing Emperor had created the prosperous era of Xianyuan, causing the world to flourish. Now, it was gradually declining. It was all because of the endless disputes between the Righteous and the Devil Daos and the intriguing battles between the various sects over the past 10,000 years.
Especially from 3,000 years ago to 4,000 years ago, the battle between immortals and devils that had lasted for a thousand years ended in Diabolism’s defeat, but it also caused an unprecedented calamity to the entire ancient land of Xianyuan. Many immortal sect seniors had perished, mountains and rivers had been destroyed, spiritual energy had greatly weakened, and countless ancient records had been lost …
Until today, the ancient land of Xianyuan still hasn’t been able to recover its vitality. Otherwise, there would probably be even more peerless experts today …
“It’s already late. Senior Brother, it’s time to return to Yuji Peak.” Ling Yin looked at the sea of clouds in front of her and said indifferently.
“In that case, I won’t disturb Junior Sister anymore …”
When he was really about to leave, he suddenly turned around. Seeing that he was not leaving, Ling Yin knew that he had other matters to attend to. He asked, “Senior Brother, there are other matters to attend to.”
Yi Huanzhen pondered for a moment and said, “Not long ago, the Sect Leader Senior Brother entered the Cave Profound Realm and went into seclusion. Everything in the sect is now handled by Senior Brother Li Yuan and Senior Sister Mei Yue.”
“Has Master gone into seclusion again …”
Ling Yin didn’t seem surprised. Yi Huanzhen nodded and said, “A few months ago, I went to Tianshu Peak once. That time, I happened to meet Senior Brother coming out of the Profound Cave Realm. I don’t know why, but at that moment, I felt that Senior Brother seemed to have changed …”
“A different person …”
Ling Yin lowered his head and said, “Junior Sister, it’s time for me to go.” With that, he waved his sleeve and flew into the sea of clouds. In an instant, his figure had disappeared. If the person in front of him hadn’t been Ling Yin, he would never have said those words.
Ling Yin looked at the sea of clouds that was slowly recovering its calm. After a long time, she headed towards the Yaoguang Palace. At this moment, in a courtyard not far from the Yaoguang Palace, there was Ruoshui’s residence.
The moonlight penetrated through the thin screen and shone into the room. Ruoshui’s eyes were tightly closed, his face was deathly pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, his body was trembling, his hands were tightly gripping the quilt, and then he suddenly woke up.
“Master … Master!”
Ruoshui woke up from her nightmare. She felt as if she had lost her soul. Her body was constantly trembling. Ling Yin happened to come back from the top of the clouds. When she heard the voice coming from her room, she immediately walked over and said, “Ruoshui, what’s wrong?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed open the door and walked in. Ruoshui’s face was still deathly pale. He stared at her blankly and muttered, “Master …”
Ling Yin walked over and said, “What’s wrong?”
“I, I …”
Ruoshui’s body trembled slightly and he pounced on her body and cried, “Woo … Ruoshui, Ruoshui just had a terrifying dream. It was so scary, that dream was so real, so scary … Woo …”
Seeing that she was so frightened that she couldn’t stop crying, Ling Yin comforted her gently, “It’s nothing. It’s just a dream. Tell me, what did you dream of?”
“Wu … I … I …”
Ruoshui slowly raised her head. Her face was still a little pale. When she recalled the scene in the dream, she was still filled with fear. She choked with sobs, “I, I saw everyone in the dream … I saw everyone die. Seven peaks, seven peaks collapsed. Senior Brother, Senior Brother, also, woo …”
After a while, Ruoshui stopped crying. Ling Yin gently patted her back and said, “It’s just a nightmare. Sleep well. When you wake up again, you won’t remember this dream. Sleep …”
“Master, Master …”
Ruoshui’s eyes were half open. Suddenly, he felt tired again. He said in a daze, “Master … When will Senior Brother come back … Ruoshui, Ruoshui misses Senior Brother so much. Master, can you understand the past and future? Do you know when Senior Brother will come back …” At the end of his sentence, he fell asleep again in a daze.
“Good, good. Sleep for a while …”
Ling Yin slowly put her down and wiped her head with her palm, eliminating her last dream.
…
Two days later, Xiao Chen returned to Lustless Heaven. Upon returning, he noticed that Yang Xiaoran and the others were not looking right and asked, “What’s wrong? Is Wei Yang okay?”
“Palace Master Wei Yang, she’s fine” Yang Xiaoran lowered his head and whispered.
“Then why are you all frowning?”
Xiao Chen said carelessly as he walked towards Lonely Peak. Yang Xiaoran reached out and stopped him, “Excellency, wait.”
“What exactly is it?”
Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head slightly. At this moment, Yang Xiaoran felt as if his entire body had been struck by lightning. He trembled violently. Finally, he lowered his head and walked over. He presented a folded letter to him, “Your Excellency, please take a look.”
