As the Universe Turns - Chapter 868
Chapter 868 Feng Moyao
“Who’s talking?”
Many people in the crowd were shocked, but when they followed the voice, they couldn’t find the person who spoke.
At this moment, the black-robed man also stopped and his expression slowly became serious. He said gloomily, “Which expert might as well show up?”
The surroundings fell into silence. Everyone was still unable to find the person who had spoken just now, almost unable to sense his aura. At this moment, Heavenless Palace and Old man Qingyi’s expressions became even more nervous. The person who could cause Old man Zi Yi to fear was definitely not simple. Sure enough, Tai Yinsi was still a crouching tiger, a hidden dragon. It was because they underestimated this place.
“Senior, aren’t you willing to come out and see me?”
Tai Yinsi focused on searching for his opponent’s aura. He knew that this Xianyuan Five Realms was not as simple as it looked on the surface. He would not dare to act rashly before finding him. However, at this moment, he could not even sense his opponent’s aura at all. Just who was it that was able to hide his aura so deeply? Even he couldn’t find it …
“Cough cough, I always call you Hua. Didn’t I always stay here …”
At this moment, the old man’s voice came from a large tree not far away. At this moment, everyone finally saw that there was actually a person lying on the thin branch.
The man’s beard was white, and he was holding a wine gourd in his hand. His clothes were tattered and looked like an old beggar in the mortal world. There was actually no aura of a cultivator on his body. However, there was no one on the tree just now. How did he appear on the tree in the blink of an eye? Not a single one of them saw him?
“Oh? I wonder who this senior is …”
Tai Yinsi’s eyes narrowed as he thought to himself, “Who is this old beggar?” Why was he completely devoid of the aura of a cultivator? Even he was unable to see through his cultivation. Furthermore, how did he appear on that tree just now? Did no one see him?
The cultivators of the various sects on the distant mountain were also shocked. Even though no one would have noticed that there was no one on a tree before this, logically speaking, that tree was right below the mountain. If there was someone on the tree, would no one have noticed? When did this old flower go up …
“Yun Shen, do you know who this person is?”
On Motian Sect’s side, Patriarch Motian’s eyes narrowed slightly. Even he did not have much impression of the old beggar in front of him. In short, he definitely did not appear that time more than 300 years ago. Otherwise, he would definitely be deeply impressed.
Could it be someone who had appeared all these years? It doesn’t look like it. In these three hundred years, apart from the few people from Xuanqing Sect, there hasn’t been anyone in the Righteous path of Xianyuan Five Realms. Then this person in front of him should be someone from a very long time ago. If he was a famous person, then he should have seen him before. However, the changes were too great, and it seemed that he couldn’t recognize him for a moment …
Chu Yunshen slowly put away the folding fan in his hand and stared at the old beggar on the tree. He muttered, “I seem to have some impression, but it’s not too deep. It’s hard to say …”
On Xuanqing Sect’s side, Ruoshui stood on tiptoe, clapping his hands and laughing, “This old uncle looks so funny. That tree is so thin that he can even lie on it. Which sect’s kung fu is this?”
At this point, she waved her hands happily to the ground, “Hey, old uncle, can you hear me? Here, here …”
Seeing her unfamiliar expression, Qianyu Nichang’s brows furrowed and he immediately pressed down on her. “Ruoshui, stop messing around. That senior is not an ordinary person.”
“Ah …”
Hearing this, Ruoshui covered her mouth with her fingers and looked surprised. Then, she smiled brightly and said, “Hehe, but he looks really fun …”
Qianyu Nichang frowned deeply and ignored her. He stared at the old beggar on the tree and thought to himself, “Even this senior has come out …”
On the other side, Mei Jianyi and Jiang Nanliu didn’t know who this person was. However, Feng Xiaoyin had been in the sect longer than them. He seemed to recognize that person and said with concentration, “It’s that senior surnamed Feng. He taught Yi Chen the swordsmanship he used to cut off his spirit veins just now …”
“What did you say …”
Hearing this, Mei Jianyi and Jiang Nanliu were deeply stunned. This old beggar looked very extraordinary. In these hundreds of years, Xianyuan Five Realms had never heard of such a powerful person. How did Yi Chen get to know such a person?
Mei Jianyi muttered, “Senior Brother, do you know this person …”
“Mm …”
Feng Xiaoyin frowned slightly and stared down for a while before saying, “However, I know very little. I only know that this senior has come and gone without a trace. In the past few hundred years, I have not heard any rumors about his deeds. It seems that he has not moved in the world these past few years, and back then … he should be on par with Master Ancestor Xuanyin.”
“On par with Master Profound Spirit Ancestor …”
Mei Jianyi and Jiang Nanliu were stunned again. They looked down together. Daoist Master Xuan Yin was the 16th generation Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, and he was the master of Master Daoist Qingxuan. This person was as famous as Master Ancestor Xuan Yin. Wasn’t he a famous figure from a thousand years ago?
…
At this moment, the dozen or so people in Heavenless Palace held their breaths. Old man Qingyi and Old man Zi Yi were heavily injured, and they didn’t dare to make a sound at this moment.
Not far away, Xiao Chen naturally recognized the person in front of him. He was the senior who taught him the Three Swords back then, Feng Moyao. Now, this name was rarely known in the world.
However, what surprised him was that the last time he saw this senior was three years ago, when he went to the Cuidie Mountain outside Qingzhou City to make an appointment for ten years.
At that time, this senior still had the aura of a cultivator, but today, how could his aura be so weak?
Suddenly, Xiao Chen recalled the past. Although the cultivation aura on the old beggar’s body had always been very faint, it seemed that every time he met the old beggar in the future, the cultivator aura on the old beggar’s body would be even fainter. However, today, it was almost gone. If it wasn’t for his keen divine sense, he wouldn’t have been able to sense it, and there was still a trace of cultivation aura on the old beggar’s body.
But why? Right now, a large amount of Spiritual Qi was pouring into the entire ancient land of Xianyuan. Everyone’s cultivation base had increased by a thousand li, and their cultivation aura was bound to become heavier and heavier. However, why was the aura on this senior getting weaker and weaker?
This was definitely not intentionally concealing his cultivation, because if he was intentionally concealing his cultivation, then no matter what, there would be traces left behind. Even he was the same. If he was concealing his aura, then a person with a high cultivation or a keen divine sense would be able to penetrate it with a single glance.
However, this old man did not have any traces of his cultivation. His cultivation was getting lower and lower, but how could his cultivation be getting lower and lower? This is completely unreasonable. What exactly is going on …
Xiao Chen slowly remembered that when he first met the old beggar, the other party had asked him to find four dishes: steamed bass, roasted carp, envious fish, and clear water without fish.
The first two dishes were naturally simple. Any chef in Qingzhou City could cook them. However, the third “fish of envy” required mandarin fish from Suzhou City. At that time, there were no mandarin fish in Qingzhou City. Therefore, he rode his sword for two thousand miles and went to Suzhou City to find mandarin fish in a day.
But when he went to the edge of Taihu Lake in Suzhou, he met a white-bearded man in a bamboo hat. At that time, he wanted to save trouble and buy the mandarin fish that the white-bearded man had caught, but the white-bearded man smiled and poured all the fish back into the lake. Finally, he borrowed a fishing rod and let him catch the fish himself.
Strange and strange, Two hours passed in an instant, but he had comprehended a mysterious realm of “returning to simplicity and truth.” Later on, he learned that most cultivators thought that the unity of heaven and man was the supreme realm of Taoism. However, after the unity of heaven and man, there was another realm that was even more difficult to comprehend. Among millions of people, it was hard for one or two to comprehend. This was returning to simplicity and truth.
Could it be that this old beggar was cultivating to return to simplicity and truth?
Xiao Chen seemed to have finally come to a realization. At that time, Bai Xu Weng, who was fishing on the edge of Taihu Lake, could not feel the slightest bit of cultivation aura from the other party’s body. Could it be that Bai Xu Weng’s cultivation had returned to simplicity and truth, even above that of the old beggar?
Could it be that the cultivations of these two people have already arrived …
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change, but a monstrous wave appeared in his heart. In this small mortal world, there was actually such an outstanding figure. Who was that white-bearded man in Suzhou City?
…
At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense, especially when no one spoke. This feeling caused the two old men in Heavenless Palace to feel even more depressed. Old man Qingyi trembled and said, “Lord Tai Yinsi …”
He was about to say something, but before he could say anything, Tai Yinsi suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him. Then, he looked at the old beggar on the tree and said indifferently, “Senior, don’t say anything. Could it be that you are going to take care of this matter today?” “I advise you, regardless of who Senior is and what background he has, it’s best not to interfere in the affairs of Heavenless Palace, so as not to … set you on fire.”
“Heavenless Palace …”
This time, the people from the various sects and sects on the mountain heard it clearly. The faces of the younger generation disciples were filled with confusion. They did not know what this Heavenless Palace was, but the more senior the elders of those sects were, the more astonished their expressions became.
“So they are from the Heavenless Palace. No wonder I vaguely heard them say that they shouldn’t be enemies with the Heavenless Palace just now …”
Many people were still shocked. On Xuanqing Sect’s side, Ruoshui asked curiously, “Senior Sister Nichang, what is this Heavenless Palace? Are they very powerful?”
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang’s expression became serious. He looked at the black-robed man below and said, “Heavenless Palace, they used to be a mysterious force in the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World, but now they are hiding in Spirit Ruins Realm. And this person is one of the seven palaces, the priest of Taiyin Palace …”
“Oh …”
Ruoshui nodded his head in confusion and snorted softly, “They still want to capture Senior Brother. They are sneaky, hiding their heads and showing their tails. It looks like they are not a good person …”
Qianyu Nichang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and he didn’t speak anymore. Below, Feng Moyao held the wine gourd in his hand and chuckled, “Old Call Hua isn’t from Heavenless Palace. He doesn’t have the time to care about your Heavenless Palace affairs.”
At this point, he suddenly sat up from the tree branch and looked at Tai Yinsi. “But the old Call Flower is a human being. Do you think the old Call Flower can or can’t interfere with the affairs of the human world?”
