As the Universe Turns - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Karma
Yi Huanzhen took the blood jade from her hand and looked at it for a moment. “The name of this jade is Samsara. It is recorded in ancient times that although a Samsara cultivator dies, his soul will never cease to revolve. This jade has endless uses, but can it protect his master’s soul from extinction? Junior Sister wants this jade to be interpreted by a fool brother, but he is the master of this jade.”

Fairy Miaoyin still looked at him without saying a word. Yi Huanzhen continued, “Things in the world are often beyond the control of the world. Twelve years ago, Junior Sister saved that baby boy in the ancient village. This karma can only be solved by Junior Sister alone. How can I ask Fool Brother again?” After saying that, he handed the blood jade back to her and said, “This karma isn’t just Junior Sister Zhi.”

Yi Huanzhen said this, and the game was resolved. Fairy Miaoyin withdrew the blood jade and thought about the last sentence he said, “I’m not the only one with this karma.” Seeing that the chessboard was black and white, and that the game was not over yet, he said, “Senior Brother, tonight, it’s another person playing chess.”

Yi Huanzhen smiled and said, “Then Junior Sister, why don’t we end this with Foolish Brother tonight?”

Fairy Miaoyin didn’t say anything. He sat down opposite him with his sleeves kissed. The twisted twist in his hand was deep in thought. Yi Huanzhen saw her thoughtful and said, “Twelve years ago, Blood Demon Xiao Cangtian fled to the foot of the mountain after our sect. He hasn’t left yet. Does Junior Sister know why?”

Fairy Miaoyin said, “The Seven Peaks of Xuan Qing have a Spirit Vein. This person can borrow the power of the Spirit Vein to recover from the injuries he suffered that day, and because of this, the Spirit Vein landed under Mystic Green Mountain. Therefore, we cannot rashly enter and search for it, so as to avoid irreparable consequences.”

“No, no.”

Yi Huanzhen Nian Zi landed and said, “That day, Xiao Cangtian was heavily injured by Junior Sister’s Profound Heaven Finger, and it would be extremely difficult for him to recover. Therefore, he was not trying to recover, but was hiding from others.”

“Dodge?”

Fairy Miaoyin furrowed his brows, seemingly puzzled. Yi Huanzhen continued, “But that day, I heard Junior Sister relay that this person came from the northwest and entered our Xuan Qing Realm. He is also hiding from others.”

“He’s also avoiding people …”

Fairy Miaoyin’s brows furrowed even deeper. He recalled that twelve years ago, the Nine Yin Blood Demon had only been severely injured by his finger because of the backlash of his devil technique. This person’s cultivation was extremely deep. Even his master could not underestimate him back then. Who was he hiding from? Why did he hide? Suddenly, lightning flashed in her heart, as if she had thought of something.

…

The next morning, Yi Chen woke up early. The morning dew had yet to wash up on the mountain, and there was a layer of light smoke in many places. Vaguely, over a hundred teenage girls had arrived at the entrance of yesterday’s valley. Naturally, there was no lack of the girl in feathered clothes who came the last time yesterday evening.

The six-hour deadline for the entrance exam was actually to bring people into the mountains and test their adaptability and perseverance. No matter what method they used, if they were able to walk out within six hours, they would be considered successful. If they were unable to walk out, they would not be expelled from the second exam next year.

However, everyone naturally hoped that they would pass smoothly. Not only would they have to pass smoothly, they would also have to perform better than others and come out faster than others. Only then would they be able to directly enter the three peaks of the Yangguan Pass.

A moment later, everyone arrived at the valley. Not only did the new disciples take part in this test, there were also quite a few senior brothers and sisters from Pingyang Peak. Looking around, one could see that the valley was filled with people. A hundred teenagers and girls were eager to try. Those who were able to enter Xuanqing Sect were not ordinary people. Most of the families were also influential. It was inevitable that each of them had some pride in their hearts and did not feel that they were inferior to others.

Seeing the feathered girl walk over yesterday, Prince Sun Zhao chuckled, “Junior Sister, come with me. You can guarantee that we will be the first to come out!”

The girl walked over slowly with a light figure and smiled sweetly, “Then you have to keep up with me.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings immediately burst into loud laughter. Prince Zhao’s face turned ashen as he thought to himself that there was a “Spirit Talisman” that Old Sister secretly gave him yesterday. At that time, I’ll make you laugh enough.

Yi Chen glanced at him and cursed in his heart, “Damn it!” He ignored him and waited for the three elders to arrive.

After about half an incense stick of time, the three elders rode the clouds and came like immortals. With a wave of their sleeves, a cloud of mist covered over a hundred disciples. In an instant, they disappeared. They were probably sent into the mountains.

There were some simple illusion formations in the mountains and some magical beasts created by the elders. However, none of these were difficult for Yi Chen. Compared to the days when he used to run up and down the mountains all day, it seemed to be much simpler.

However, to the others, it would be extremely painful. Most of the people here were rich young masters and young misses, especially that prince and grandson of Zhao. How could they have suffered such hardships in the past? How would he know how to avoid wild beasts and poisonous snakes? Fortunately, senior apprentice-brother and senior apprentice-sister were secretly protecting him. Otherwise, before half of the entrance exam was over, it was estimated that over a hundred people would have died and been injured in this desolate mountain range.

Time passed bit by bit. Gradually, it was afternoon. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the bushes. However, seeing that the person’s face and arms were covered with mud and medicinal plants, it was none other than Xiao Yi Chen.

“Hehe, you are indeed the first to come out.”

Yi Chen looked behind him and saw that there was not a single person. He was very pleased with himself. He was the first to come out, so he had a chance to directly enter the Yang Pass, right? In that case, Senior Sister would be able to impart her own Dao Art. Just as she was complacent, a silver bell-like laugh suddenly sounded from a tree not far away, “Hey, you’re out!”

“Who?”

Yi Chen was shocked. He followed the sound and saw the girl in feathers sitting on a tree branch, leisurely shaking her little feet. He couldn’t help but be shocked. How was this possible? How could she come out faster than him?

“Pu!”

Seeing his stupid appearance, the girl covered her mouth and smiled. She gently pushed her palms against the tree branch and jumped down. She slowly walked in front of him. Seeing his grey face, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile, “How did you make yourself so dirty? How silly!”

Yi Chen looked at her and said unhappily, “What do you know? These herbs and mud can be applied to your body to avoid being bitten by poisonous insects.”

Hearing what he said, the young girl smiled from ear to ear, “Then didn’t I come out before you? Well, if you lose, you’ll call me senior sister in the future.”

“Chi!” Yi Chen tossed his head. The boss in his heart was unconvinced. He thought that the three elders must have given you some magic treasure spirit talisman to come out before me.

Seeing his unwillingness to admit defeat, the young girl found it even more interesting and asked, “Hey, what’s your name?”

“Xiao Yi Chen.”

“Xiao Yi Chen?” The girl bit her finger and thought for a moment, then laughed, “What an ugly name, who gave it to you?”

“I want you to take care of it.” Yi Chen glanced at her and asked, “Then what’s your name?”

“Me?” The girl looked at him amusedly and smiled, “My name sounds much better than yours.”

“Then what is your name?”

Yi Chen looked at her as if she was interested. The girl approached him and said, “You want to know?”

“Yes.”

Seeing her approaching him with a sweet fragrance, Yi Chen nodded his head in a daze. He felt that she was like a little Fairy at the moment, but he was like a few badger pigs rolling in the mud.

When the girl approached, she saw him staring blankly at her like a hedgehog coming out of a quagmire. She giggled, stuck out her tongue at him, and pretended to be a ghost, “I won’t tell you!”
