As the Universe Turns - Chapter 857
Chapter 857 Ku Lingzi’s Strength
Xiao Chen took the letter from Yang Xiaoran, opened it, and handed it back. He turned around and went to Lonely Peak. “I know,” he said from afar.
Yang Xiaoran held the letter in his hand, his back still covered in cold sweat. He had done a lot for Lustless Heaven over the years, and he was no longer the little Pingyang Peak disciple he used to be.
In terms of ruthlessness, there probably weren’t many people who could compare to him. He had been accustomed to the storms of the past few years. Even the last time Lustless Heaven was sealed by Beigong Changfeng, he didn’t think much of it. However, this matter wasn’t trivial. He had been panicking for the past two days. Obviously, Madam Xian Shu, Shen Jing, and the others had already known about it.
Lonely Peak, in the herb garden.
Xiao Chen walked in slowly. Shen Jing had been treating him these days. Wei Yang looked much better. Seeing that he had returned, he immediately went to bed. However, his footsteps were a little unstable. Xiao Chen immediately walked over and stabilized her. “You have just recovered, so it’s not appropriate for you to get out of bed and walk. You should rest for another two days.”
“It’s fine …”
Hua Weiyang shook his head. ‘”I’m not as delicate as you think I am. I’ve been lying there for two days and my legs have gone numb. The injuries on my body have been fine for a long time, but Shen Jing still wants me to lie down and rest for a few more days. I wonder how Moon’s injuries are. Without her to talk to me, I’m really bored to death …” she smiled softly.
Seeing that she had said so much in one breath, Xiao Chen’s heart finally relaxed a little. Presumably, after these few days, she was temporarily fine.
“Right …”
Hua Weiyang added, “I heard from Zi Yuan that I couldn’t find Miss Luo Die that day. Did you find her in the next few days?”
Xiao Chen shook his head, “She’s gone …”
“Yes, I’m sorry …”
Hua Weiyang slowly lowered her head. Originally, after hearing what Moon said that morning, she was very angry in her heart. But now that she knew that it was just a misunderstanding that day, and now that Luo Die had also left, she suddenly felt guilty, as if she had done something wrong …
“It’s not your fault. Probably … she has her own thoughts.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and looked out of the window. He recalled everything that had happened in the Eastern Continent. Perhaps it was just as Zi Yuan had said. Luo Die’s departure was not entirely because of that day. Perhaps she really had her own affairs. However, the Immortal Alliance was currently chasing after her. I hope that she would not encounter anyone from the Immortal Alliance …
“Oh, right …”
Hua Weiyang suddenly raised his head again. This time, his expression became even more solemn. “I’ve already heard that they want you to go to Zhongyue Peak next month in Chongyang …”
“I know. When I first came back, Yang Xiaoran had already told me.” Xiao Chen’s expression was extremely calm, as if there was no wind on the surface of a lake.
“Then … are you going?”
Hua Weiyang gradually frowned. Obviously, with her experience, she could tell that this wasn’t simple. She was afraid that someone was behind this. She had a different purpose.
Xiao Chen looked out of the window and said indifferently, “If I don’t go, then they will find trouble with Xuanqing Sect next. Let Xuanqing Sect come forward and point the sword at Lustless Heaven … Let me return it to Spiritual Bloodline Force.”
Seeing that he could see the crux of the matter at a glance, Hua Weiyang narrowed her brows and said, “Although the various sects in Xianyuan have had a grudge against Lustless Heaven for a long time over the matter of the Spiritual Veins, it is clear that someone was deliberately trying to incite the various sects behind this matter. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a great impact …”
“It doesn’t matter …”
Xiao Chen looked out of the window at the falling leaves that were slowly circling around. His eyes were still calm as he said, “Someone is heading towards Xuan Qing. Someone is coming for Lustless Heaven. But no matter what, if they really have absolute strength, there is no need to stir up trouble behind their backs.”
At the end of his sentence, he turned around and looked at Hua Weiyang and said, “Wei Yang, you should rest these days. There is no need to worry about this. Even if we go to Zhongyue Peak, I will discuss it with Ku Lingzi carefully.”
‘”Mm” Hua Weiyang nodded and didn’t say anything else.
…
That night, the moonlight dimmed. Xiao Chen arrived near a cliff on Lonely Peak. There was a cave on the cliff. This was Ku Lingzi’s usual place to cultivate soul power.
Under the moonlight, there was a figure standing on the cliff. That person was Ku Lingzi. When he saw Xiao Chen coming, he said, “I believe you already know about the matter of Chongyang next month.”
“Tonight, I am here precisely for this matter.”
Xiao Chen slowly walked up from behind. The moment he approached Ku Lingzi, he immediately felt an extraordinary soul force from Ku Lingzi’s body. Could it be that his soul force realm had already broken through …
Ordinary people naturally couldn’t sense Ku Lingzi’s soul force change, but his spiritual sense was sharp and his primordial spirit was much stronger than ordinary people. Naturally, he could sense it as soon as he approached.
“Mm …”
Ku Lingzi turned around and saw that he had sensed the change in his soul power. He said, “In the past, I always stuck to my fleshly body. But now, it seems that if I hadn’t lost my fleshly body, my primordial soul wouldn’t have become as strong as it is today. Perhaps this is a mistake, I must have obtained one …”
“Congratulations, senior.”
Xiao Chen looked at him. In less than half a month, Ku Lingzi’s soul power had already broken through. It was even stronger than a few years ago. If he hadn’t lost his physical body, he wouldn’t have focused on cultivating his primordial spirit. Even if he didn’t have a physical body now, he still had a Soul Strengthening Technique. Under his Soul Strengthening Technique, there were at least a handful of people who could injure his primordial spirit.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen could still see the loneliness and vicissitudes hidden in his eyes. A thousand years ago, he had a master that he admired incomparably. He was one of the Eight Desolate Hegemons, the Nether Soul Master.
However, he never imagined that his master would actually go to the mortal world and kill his wife and children for the sake of the ‘Reincarnation Forbidden’ divine ability he possessed … Now, he had imprisoned his Quasi-Sage body for a thousand years.
Back then, although Ku Lingzi’s cultivation had ended at the Quasi-Saint realm, he was still the strongest Quasi-Saint one step away from becoming a Saint. Although he had not yet become a Saint, his Xiantian origin soul power was even stronger than a Sage’s. Under a Sage, no one was his match. He was definitely no match for ordinary Quasi-Saints. But now, even though he no longer had a physical body, his soul power was slowly returning to its peak.
Xiao Chen knew that his greatest wish in his life was to avenge himself. However, the difference in cultivation between him and the Netherworld Soul Master was simply too great. There was almost no hope for revenge …
As the night drew on and the cold wind blew through the cliff, Ku Lingzi looked at the pitch-black night sky. He didn’t want to think about the obsession in his heart anymore and said, “Then you’re planning to go to Zhongyue Peak next month.”
Seeing him slowly awaken from his memories, Xiao Chen said, “In Senior’s opinion, who is the person behind this Double Sun Gathering?”
“Mm …”
Ku Lingzi thought for a moment and said with a frown, “Most likely … people from the Heavenless Palace.”
“Heavenless Palace …”
Xiao Chen focused. Actually, what he had guessed before was most likely Heavenless Palace. At this moment, Ku Lingzi had said the same thing. That was most likely the case. He said indifferently, “Then it’s for me.”
“Wait …” Ku Lingzi’s expression froze. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at him and asked with a frown, “Brat, did you really not meet anyone from the Heavenless Palace when you went to the Spirit Ruins Realm last time?”
“Apart from the divine sense that I felt on the way back, there was no more. However, for some reason, that divine sense suddenly disappeared again.”
Xiao Chen told the truth about that day.
“This is a little strange …”
Ku Lingzi slowly fell into deep thought. If Heavenless Palace had already sent out a Quasi-Saint expert to capture him, then the matter would obviously not be simple. It was impossible for him to do it just for a Beigong Changfeng, Tai Shi Dao Sect, or the Lu Family.
“Anyway, I will be careful this time.”
Seeing Ku Lingzi’s serious expression, Xiao Chen said slowly.
Although he hadn’t really fought against the Heavenless Palace yet, he knew that what kind of powerful and mysterious force it was that had been formed by the six great clans in the past, and had gradually taken control of the six great clans afterwards, no matter if it was inside or outside the Spirit Ruins Realm, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Kid …”
At this moment, Ku Lingzi raised his head, as if he had finally thought of something. His expression became even more solemn as he said, “This Heavenless Palace might do everything possible to catch you. Although I don’t know what caused them to be like this, judging from the current signs, it is most likely like this …”
He paused to ponder for a moment before continuing, “Whether it is the Heavenless Palace or the six great ancient families, they were originally from the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. However, back then, the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World was shattered and they were forced to find a place to bless themselves and reproduce, so …”
At this point, Ku Lingzi said, After a short pause, Finally, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen. “They are not people from the Spirit Ruins Realm. Their experts may not be able to come out because of some restrictions back then. Even in the Spirit Ruins Realm, they have to fear some mysterious forces from the Spirit Ruins Realm. Therefore, it is impossible for them to act unscrupulously everywhere. So, brat … don’t worry too much now.”
“Are you worried …”
Xiao Chen looked at the distant sea of clouds shrouded in the darkness. He didn’t seem to be worried at all. He said indifferently, “I said that I would be careful, but they aren’t enough to become my current worry.”
Ku Lingzi nodded, “That’s good.”
Actually, what he liked about Xiao Chen also had this point. If someone else heard that they were being targeted by such a mysterious power, they would probably be in a state of chaos and panic. Before Xiao Chen could come, they would have already lost their courage. If that was the case, they would undoubtedly die. However, Xiao Chen would definitely not be like this. No matter who the opponent was, no matter how powerful the power was.
After a while, Ku Lingzi said, “But in case of an accident, I’ll go to Zhongyue Peak with you next month.”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was slightly surprised, “Senior wants to come with me?”
“What? Brat, do you still think I’m that fragile soul body back then?” Ku Lingzi looked at him and snorted.
“Fei Ye.”
Xiao Chen looked at him and thought to himself, Back then, he had gone all out to snatch away Shen Cangming, but he failed. As a result, his primordial spirit was heavily injured and was captured and imprisoned by Ye Zhiqiu. At that time, it was indeed extremely fragile, but over the years, he had recultivated his primordial spirit, and it was no longer comparable to back then.
At this moment, Ku Lingzi slowly raised his hand. Looking at the slowly beating black soul flame in his palm, “As you have just seen, a few days ago, my Primordial Spirit Realm finally broke through the biggest obstacle. Right now, other than the Netherworld Soul Master, no one else can harm my Primordial Spirit. This time, unless the Heavenless Palace sends out Quasi-Sage experts, those below the Quasi-Sage Realm are still not in my eyes …”
The moment he finished speaking, he squeezed his palm and a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes. At this moment, the soul force aura on his body suddenly increased by a lot, causing the nearby sea of clouds to tremble and surge.
At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the only Saint in the Four Seas and Eight Desolates who had yet to become a Saint, yet did not even look down on a Sage … the Netherheaven Soul Saint!
