As the Universe Turns - Chapter 887
Chapter 887 Patriarch Guiyin
“What are you talking about?”
When Xiao Cangtian heard that he was no match for that person, his face immediately revealed a look of doubt. Of course, Xiao Chen had only provoked him. In fact, even he himself did not know who had inflicted the Three Corpse Demon into his body back then.
“Brat, what are you saying? Who was the one who injected the Three Corpse Demon into your body?”
The more he didn’t say anything, the more anxious Xiao Cangtian became. Xiao Chen smiled and said, “So Senior is willing to come back to Lustless Heaven with me?”
“This …”
Xiao Cangtian pondered and asked again, “Then tell me, when did that person inject the Three Corpse Demon into your body?”
Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to detect the Xiao Chen in Three Corpse Demon’s body, or even recognize it, but how could Xiao Cangtian be an ordinary person? He had failed to notice that Three Corpse Demon had been completely dormant in the past, but now that he had awakened, he could not?
Xiao Chen said, “Not long after I was born, someone … entered my body into a Three Corpse Demon.”
“What are you talking about!”
Hearing that a Three Corpse Demon had been injected into his body not long after he was born, Xiao Cangtian’s expression immediately changed. However, he waved his hand and said with certainty, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Xiao Chen said, “Senior, why are you so sure?”
Xiao Cangtian still waved his hand and turned around, “You don’t know the Three Corpse Demon. If you were beaten into the Three Corpse Demon shortly after you were born, then you wouldn’t have survived until now! Absolutely impossible!”
Seeing that he was so sure, Xiao Chen’s expression remained unchanged. “Senior, what you said is correct. If it weren’t for Master picking me up at the foot of the mountain back then, I wouldn’t have survived until now …”
“You … you mean!”
Xiao Cangtian turned around. At this moment, he seemed to finally realize something. He looked at him in disbelief. He finally figured out what was going on. He muttered, “No wonder you had Ling Yin in your body. I thought she was just saving your life. I didn’t expect her to … no, no …”
“How is that possible? Is she not afraid of Three Corpse Demon? No, absolutely impossible. She is a cultivator, and she is most afraid of Three Corpse Demon. Even if she is the Three Flowers Gathering Head, it is impossible. It is impossible for Three Corpse Demon to muddy her Three Flowers Gathering Head. It is impossible for her … Ah! Ah-” he murmured.
Suddenly, Xiao Cangtian covered his head with both hands, as if he had thought of something, but it was extremely painful. Seeing this, Xiao Chen pressed down on his shoulder. At this moment, he could actually feel his incomparably chaotic inner breath. Immediately, he crossed into a Genuine energy to help him stabilize his inner breath.
“Senior, how are you?”
“I, I …”
Xiao Cangtian finally woke up, but his eyes were still a little dull. He looked at him and said, “I seemed to have suddenly thought of something related to Ling Yin, but now, I suddenly can’t remember it. It’s a very important matter, but I just can’t remember it …”
Xiao Chen looked at him and whispered, “It doesn’t matter. Since you can’t remember, Senior, don’t think about it …”
“No, something’s wrong …”
Xiao Cangtian shook his head and slowly said, “You don’t understand Three Corpse Demon, you don’t understand … It’s not as simple as you think …”
Three Corpse Demon indeed didn’t know much about Xiao Chen, but he also knew how powerful it was. Because that time in Tomb of Gods and Demons, he saw records of twelve-fingered inner demons. In the end, even the High God of the Heaven Realm was unable to escape Three Corpse Demon’s devouring of his mind. Even the High God of the Heaven Realm couldn’t escape, let alone a mortal …
After a long while, Xiao Cangtian seemed to be completely awake. At this moment, his expression became exceptionally solemn. He looked at him and said, “How many inches of the Three Corpse Demons in your body are they?”
Xiao Chen said, “Probably … an inch and seventy cents long.”
“One inch seven points …”
Xiao Cangtian fell into deep thought again and muttered to himself, “If it grows to three inches three minutes long, Three Corpse Demon will definitely awaken completely and erupt. If that happens …”
“Senior Ku Lingzi once said that at that time, I will undoubtedly die.”
Xiao Chen looked at him. At this moment, his face was exceptionally calm. It was as calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
And now, Xiao Cangtian finally understood. Back then, he had clearly flown into the youth’s body with demonic yuan, but now, he couldn’t feel the demonic yuan he had flown into from Xiao Chen. So these demonic yuan had all become nutrients for Three Corpse Demon …
Back then, Ling Yin suppressed Xianyuan with Three Corpse Demon. If it weren’t for his devil essence, Xiao Chen probably wouldn’t have awakened so quickly. Thinking of this, Three Corpse Demon felt quite guilty. Back then, he had implicated an innocent teenager in retaliation for Xiao Cangtian …
“Sigh …”
Long sighed. Xiao Cangtian remembered his calm demeanor and asked, “Aren’t you worried at all now?”
“Worried?”
Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm as he said indifferently, “What’s the use of worrying? You still need to tie the bell to the person who untied the bell. In these two years, I want to find the person who injected the Three Corpse Demon into my body …”
“Yes, not bad!”
Xiao Cangtian nodded forcefully. Xiao Chen looked at him and said, “But now, Lustless Heaven is surrounded by enemies on all sides. If I leave, I’m really worried. That’s why I want to ask Senior to go back and guard Lustless Heaven …”
“So that’s how it is. You should have said so long ago!”
Xiao Cangtian was quite straightforward. Moreover, he was already ashamed of Xiao Chen. Now that he had heard what had happened, he would go to Lustless Heaven no matter what.
“It’s just brat, I haven’t seen you for more than ten years. I’d like to know, how is your cultivation now?”
“Senior, why don’t you give it a try?”
“Alright!”
Xiao Cangtian’s profound arts trembled, causing the surrounding trees to tremble uncontrollably. He raised his breath and shouted, “Kid, pay attention!” As soon as he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm, causing the mountain to shake endlessly.
This palm strike didn’t have any fancy moves. It was completely a rich profound energy that was as unfathomable as the ocean. When the palm force approached, Xiao Chen placed his right hand behind his back, and his left palm flashed out, sending out an extremely rich profound energy.
“Boom!”
The collision of their palms was even more earth-shattering. However, at this moment, the surrounding time seemed to have stopped flowing. Not only did the flowers and trees stop shaking, even the fallen leaves that were floating in the air stopped moving.
After a long while, the two of them withdrew their palms, and the fallen leaves fell down in the air. However, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees did not suffer any injuries at all.
“Haha! Not bad, not bad! It’s much better than those trash from Xuanqing Sect!”
Xiao Cangtian raised his head and laughed loudly. “Brat, if you can survive this calamity, your future accomplishments will definitely surpass Xiao Chen’s. You are only at the True Dao Stage now, but no one below the Quasi-Sage Stage is your match. In addition, you are comprehending the truth. I don’t think those second-rate Quasi-Sages will necessarily be able to pass ten moves in your hands. Not bad, not bad …”
“Senior, you are overpraising me …”
…
The next day, the two of them returned to Lustless Heaven. Naturally, the new disciples didn’t know Xiao Cangtian these past few years, but they had heard of him. As for Shen Jing, Hua Weiyang, and the others, they had seen Xiao Cangtian back then, so they recognized him at a glance.
“Is that person Xiao Cangtian? I heard that back then, he passed down a Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Art from Excellency …”
“Of course, Senior Xiao is a hero of our generation. He is open and honest. However, those righteous sects said that he killed someone back then. If Senior Xiao killed someone, he would definitely admit it. I think it was most likely their own thieves shouting to catch a thief …”
“It is said that Senior Xiao was there when Excellency founded Lustless Heaven. However, I heard later that Senior Xiao thought that staying in Lustless Heaven was too boring, so he traveled all over the place by himself. I didn’t expect that this time, Excellency would actually find him …”
Along with Xiao Cangtian’s return, the gloomy atmosphere in Lustless Heaven gradually disappeared, and the disciples regained their spirits. At the same time, there was a mountain range 7,000 kilometers northwest of Taiyin Mountain in Spirit Ruins Realm. It was also extremely heavy with yin energy, and it was called the “Ghost Yin Mountain”.
Under the cover of night, the entire Ghost Yin Mountain’s Yin Qi was heavy, but at the same time, it was also extremely mysterious. The Mountain Master, known as Patriarch Guiyin, intimidated all sects and sects within a radius of several thousand kilometers. Even Heavenless Palace did not look down on him. In the past few hundred years, no one dared to offend him.
That night, the moonlight was as cold as ice, and the ground beneath the Ghost Yin Mountain was bone-chilling. It was about midnight, and suddenly, a figure landed in front of the mountain gate in panic. Immediately, two disciples of the Ghost Yin Mountain came out to stop him, “Stop! Who is it?”
“I… I’m here to find Master!”
That person’s face was deathly pale and panicked. It was none other than Tai Yinsi.
“Looking for Master? Who are you?”
The two disciples of Ghost Yin Mountain immediately became vigilant. Tai Yinsi did not say anything and immediately took out a waist token from his sleeve and handed it over.
One of the disciples held the waist token in his hand, glanced at it, and read out the name on it, “Yin Impermanence … Has Master ever accepted such a person?”
The two of them had not heard of such a person for decades. At this moment, they were doubtful and looked at each other. The person on the left said, “Wait here. Don’t leave randomly. I’ll have Junior Brother inform Master …”
Just as he finished speaking, a slightly aged voice suddenly came from the mountain, “No need, he is your Eldest Senior Brother. Let him come up …”
“Big … Big Senior Brother?”
The two of them were stunned for a moment. They had not heard of any Eldest Senior Brother for so long, but they immediately reacted and respectfully handed the waist token back. “I wonder if it was Eldest Senior Brother who came back. I have offended you just now. Please forgive me, Eldest Senior Brother …”
“Quick! Take me to see Master!”
Tai Yinsi had no time to listen to them here, and the two, seeing him in such a hurry, did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately led him up the hill.
When they arrived at a secluded hall on the mountain, they saw the secluded flames floating above the hall. They could vaguely see a figure on the stone platform at the head of the hall. That person was as thin as firewood, his beard was white, and his Yin Qi was heavy. He closed his eyes gently and said indifferently, “You guys leave …”
“Yes, Master …”
The two Ghost Yin Mountain disciples immediately retreated outside. Tai Yinsi looked at the figure at the head of the hall and his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Although it had been a hundred years since we last met, he was still very familiar with it …
“Sigh …”
Patriarch Guiyin sighed softly and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the person below the hall and slowly said, “Impermanence, you haven’t returned in a hundred years, have you? I thought that you were in a high position in Heavenless Palace these past few years and have long forgotten the way here …”
“Master …”
Tai Yinsi’s eyes turned red and he knelt down. “This disciple is unfilial. He hasn’t been able to come back to see Master for all these years. Master also knows that this disciple is in Heavenless Palace. He really can’t help but …”
“Forget it …”
Patriarch Guiyin shook his hand. Yin Wuchang was the first disciple he accepted back then. Although this person had gradually forgotten his roots over the years, if he didn’t have any affection for this disciple, then that wasn’t the case. He just thought that the other party would have time to come back and take a look. After all, he had picked Yin Wuchang up at the foot of the mountain and brought him up when he was young …
“Tell me, why did you come back this time?”
“I, I …”
Tai Yinsi’s face was filled with bitterness as he suddenly kowtowed to the ground, “This time, Master … please make the decision for my disciple!”
