As the Universe Turns - Chapter 873
Chapter 873 Danger Strikes
Over the past ten days, the entire Lustless Heaven had been shrouded in layers of spiritual energy. Everyone was looking forward to the day when Xiao Chen’s cultivation broke through.
On this afternoon, the clouds that were originally tens of thousands of kilometers long gradually covered the sky. Everyone still followed their respective duties and did not feel anything unusual.
At this time, Wei Yang Palace and Master of Moon Valley were strolling in the flower forest. Seeing that Hua Weiyang was about to break through, Xiao Chen was naturally happy in his heart. As a result, Master of Moon Valley’s strength was even stronger.
But in Hua Weiyang’s heart, for some reason, no matter how well these flowers bloomed in front of her, she still had an indescribable oppressive feeling today.
“Palace Master … what’s wrong with you?” Seeing that she had been worried all afternoon, Master of Moon Valley finally couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
Hua Weiyang smiled and looked at her. “No, maybe. I was a little tired a few days ago.”
Master Mingyue Valley saw her smile so reluctantly. She clearly had something on her mind, but in the past, no matter what, she had always told herself. Why was it so strange today?
“Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something.”
Just as Master of Moon Valley was about to continue questioning her, Hua Weiyang looked at her and said, “I’m going to the Secret Devil Cliff. Moon, you’ve been with me for so long today. Why don’t you go back first? Also, send a spiritual message to Zhongyue Peak and ask when Yang Xiaoran and the others will be back.”
“Yang Xiaoran and the others searched the ancient mystic realm. They shouldn’t have come back so soon, right?”
Master of Moon Valley’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he still felt a little strange. He whispered, “Palace Master, you’re a little strange today. Is there something wrong?”
Hua Weiyang smiled gently, “What’s the matter? Alright, I’m heading over there to the Secret Demon Cliff. You should go back as soon as possible …”
“Oh …”
Master of Moon Valley watched her go far away. After a while, he looked towards Lustless Peak and saw that the entire Lustless palace was shrouded in boundless white spiritual energy. He didn’t know when Excellency’s cultivation would break through. Palace Master should be too worried …
…
A moment later, Hua Weiyang arrived at the edge of the cold pond under the Secret Devil Cliff and shouted, “Come out.”
As the voice fell, the level of the pond rose three feet. Immediately after, water gushed out and a hundred zhang strange flood dragon flew out. Its huge head, a pair of blood-red eyes, and the black scales that covered its entire body. The devil aura that constantly seeped out from beneath the scales looked extremely terrifying.
If an ordinary person saw such a terrifying strange flood dragon, they would be frightened to death. However, over the years, Hua Weiyang had already gotten used to it and did not fear the devil aura of the strange flood dragon at all.
This was a Black Water Flood Dragon that had failed to transform into a dragon many times in Tomb of Gods and Demons. Afterwards, it devoured countless souls of ancient gods and devils. The last time it failed to transform into a dragon, its soul power was extremely weak. It was encountered by Xiao Chen, Daoist Gui, and the others. In the end, it was subdued by Xiao Chen using the Forbidden Samsara divine Ability and was named “Hostility”.
The hostile human nature quickly shrunk and arrived in front of Hua Weiyang. However, it seemed to be closer to Xiao Chen than Hua Weiyang.
Hua Weiyang smiled gently and reached out to touch the only green dragon scale on its forehead. He whispered, “Right now, Excellency is breaking through. If he fails, it will be the same as you failing to transform into a dragon. Do you know that?”
“Roar …”
He let out a low roar and blinked his eyes. Originally, it was a huge and terrifying creature, but now, in front of Hua Weiyang, it was somewhat naive and charming.
Hua Weiyang smiled and looked at the dark clouds slowly approaching Lustless Heaven. He sighed softly, “But today, someone is coming to deal with Excellency, wanting to destroy Lustless Heaven …”
“Roar!”
This time, he let out a loud roar, causing the pond to tremble. It looked as if it was angry. Hua Weiyang turned around and smiled softly, stroking the dragon scales on its forehead. “In the end, if it really couldn’t resist, Lu, do you know who to protect first?”
Hua Weiyang was stunned. Finally, he gently rubbed her arm, meaning to protect her. Excellency smiled gently and shook his head. He looked at it and said, “No, it’s Excellency.”
After hearing that, Lu was stunned again. Hua Weiyang said, “Lu, you have to protect Excellency first, understand? If you understand, you can nod.”
After a long while, Lu Cai nodded and seemed to understand. Hua Weiyang smiled gently and said, “Follow me.” With that, he waved his sleeve and the vicious figure instantly disappeared.
…
Moreover, on the Lonely Peak, Ku Lingzi was still as usual. He walked down the mountain slowly without any unusual changes on his face. When he met a disciple of Lustless Heaven, he would also nod his head to indicate that he would meet Hua Weiyang. After a while, he would meet Hua Weiyang below the Desire-less Peak.
“Senior Ku Lingzi.”
Hua Weiyang greeted him, and Ku Lingzi nodded. The two of them looked at Zhaotian Cliff in front of Lustless Heaven at the same time, and they saw that the clouds in the distance were getting closer and closer, layers upon layers of clouds approaching.
At this moment, even though the two of them had a premonition of danger, they understood each other’s intentions. At the same time, they looked towards the Wuyu Peak and saw layers of Spiritual Qi enveloping it. It was so white that they couldn’t see what was happening in Lustless palace.
Although the entire Lustless Heaven had the ancient restriction left behind by Desire-less Fairy, this restriction required extremely strong spiritual energy to support it. However, most of the spiritual energy in the vicinity of Lustless Heaven had condensed to Desire-less Peak, so the restriction outside Lustless Heaven was not as strong as usual.
“Senior …”
Hua Weiyang slowly turned around. At this moment, there was something he wanted to say, but he didn’t know how to say it. Ku Lingzi said, “Young lady, don’t say it. One of them … is coming for me.”
With his hands behind his back, he closed his eyes and said to himself, “It’s been a thousand years, but he’s finally found it. Probably … it’s destiny that he can’t avoid.”
“Sorry, it was that day, at Zhongyue Peak …”
Hua Weiyang lowered her head slowly. At this moment, she felt a little guilty. How could she not see that Ku Lingzi was ready to fight to the death today? But … back then, she had promised to find a perfect body for Ku Lingzi, but she still hadn’t been able to fulfill it …
“Miss, don’t worry.”
Ku Lingzi slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Lustless palace. He slowly said, “No matter what, he will be fine today …”
“Senior …”
Hearing this, Hua Weiyang was slightly stunned. Then, he slowly lowered his head and said, At this moment, her heart was even more bitter. Actually, just now, she wanted to say that there must be people from Heavenless Palace this time. If it was a Quasi-Saint, then no one in Lustless Heaven would be able to resist. Although hostility had become much stronger now, it was impossible to resist a Quasi-Saint at this moment. Only Ku Lingzi had the ability to do so …
However, she also knew that this time, there was also Ku Lingzi’s great enemy. If Ku Lingzi still used his soul power to protect Xiao Chen, it would definitely make her even more dangerous. It was truly unimaginable what the consequences would be.
She wanted to say it just now, but she also knew that it was very selfish. However, she had no choice. This time, Xiao Chen had finally comprehended the truth. Once he succeeded, he would definitely be reborn. However, if he failed, he would never be able to recover.
“I’m sorry, senior …”
Hua Weiyang lowered her head, and her voice gradually became somewhat choked. She knew that letting Ku Lingzi use his soul power to protect Xiao Chen at this time was undoubtedly risking his life. It was very likely that his soul would be destroyed. It was a bit selfish, but she … had no choice but to do so.
“Miss, why should you feel guilty?”
Ku Lingzi looked at the Lustless Peak shrouded in Spiritual Qi and slowly said, “This kid has the best talent I’ve ever seen, no matter what kind of talent he has. This time, his ability to comprehend the truth is the result of good fortune. If he fails, I will also feel regret.”
“Senior …”
Hearing what he said, Hua Weiyang was stunned again. Ku Lingzi shook his head and continued, “His soul is actually far superior to mine. However, his soul power has not been unearthed by one-tenth or two. In the future, he will definitely reach a great success. Back then, when I taught him the Forbidden Samsara, he was able to use it in just a few years. His comprehension is more than ten times better than mine.”
“Senior is saying …”
At this moment, Hua Weiyang seemed to understand something. Of course, she knew that this Reincarnation Forbidden Technique was an ancient Heaven-defying Forbidden Technique. Even though there were only one in ten or two left, even if there were only one in ten or two left, it would still be a heaven-defying forbidden divine ability if she cultivated to the Transformation Realm.
However, not everyone could cultivate this Reincarnation Forbidden Gate unless their soul power was extremely powerful, and only people like Ku Lingzi could cultivate it.
“With the Nether Soul Master’s ability, he can naturally cultivate the Reincarnation Forbidden Gate, but he may not be as good as this kid.”
Ku Lingzi looked at the Lustless Peak enveloped in Spiritual Qi and slowly said. Finally, he looked at Hua Weiyang and said, “Actually, back then, this girl already knew that these three soul techniques I passed on to him were the Reincarnation Forbidden Techniques, right?”
Hearing him ask about this, Hua Weiyang slowly lowered his head and whispered, “I’m ashamed to say that back then … I suspected … Senior’s motive for doing this.”
“You are much smarter than that brat …”
Ku Lingzi looked at her, and at last looked out of Lustless Heaven. The dangerous aura was getting closer and closer, and there was more than one.
“Coming …”
Hua Weiyang also stared at the other side of the Illumination Cliff. That was in front of Lustless Heaven, opposite the Hidden Cloud Sea. At this moment, as the powerful aura got closer and closer, the nearby clouds finally began to surge.
As for the disciples of Lustless Heaven, whenever they were outside, they could feel the aura getting closer and closer. Everyone was shocked, as well as some people who were still cultivating in the cave. After sensing the aura outside, they quickly walked out and rushed towards the Sunshine Heaven Cliff.
Very quickly, the sea of clouds outside Lustless Heaven surged more and more violently. Layers of dark clouds covered over ten miles away. Even the floating islands in the vicinity began to tremble at this moment.
A powerful aura was coming from afar, causing many people to feel stifled. This aura … was a quasi-sage aura, and … there was more than one!
