As the Universe Turns - Chapter 908
Chapter 908 Hill Of Illusory Ruins
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. According to Qin Guan, this Bone Corrosion Land was also a fragment left behind by the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World. The six great clans and the Heavenless Palace were originally from the Ancient Oriental Cultivation World …
Qin Guan sighed, “Originally, I thought that Hero Xiao and his wife came to Qinling Mountains to avoid pursuing them. Later on, I realized that I was wrong. Even if Hero Xiao went to the Snow Region, those people would definitely chase them to the Snow Region. However, coming to Qinling Mountains is actually a cover-up. The place Hero Xiao really wants to go is the Bone Corrosion Land.” However, the Bone Corrosion Land is one of the most dangerous places in the Spirit Ruins Realm. Very few people have been there successfully, and very few have been able to walk out alive … ”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen slowly frowned, “Are you saying that Father went to the Bone Corrosion Lands to temporarily avoid pursuing him?”
Qin Guan nodded his head and sighed, “It should be like this. I just didn’t expect that something would happen to him and his wife while they were still in Hill of Illusory Ruins. Hill of Illusory Ruins is to the east. It’s the only way to go to the Bone Corrosion Lands …”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows gradually furrowed. Back then, when his father brought his mother to the Bone Corrosion Lands, it was difficult for him to guess whether he was hiding from the pursuit or something else. And when did the Three Corpse Demon on his body be planted …
After a while, Qin Guan raised his head and looked at him, “Young Hero Xiao, what do you … plan to do next?”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “I’m going to Hill of Illusory Ruins.”
“You …”
Even though Qin Guan had more or less guessed it, After he said that, The other party would definitely go to the Hill of Illusory Ruins to search for the truth, But now, on his face, A trace of worry flashed across his face. He said, “Although the Hill of Illusory Ruins is not as dangerous and unfathomable as the Land of Bone Corrosion, “However, the inside is mixed with dragons and snakes. It is not under the control of any faction outside. Many people who are hunted down by some large faction will eventually flee to the Hill of Illusory Ruins. So today, the Hill of Illusory Ruins is also not a good place. There are many underground black forces there. If Young Hero Xiao wants to go there, you must be careful …”
“En” Xiao Chen nodded, “Don’t worry, Old Master Qin. I will be more careful.”
As he spoke, Qin Guan’s eyes were a little sharp. “Also, if Young Hero Xiao arrives at the Hill of Illusory Ruins, you must remember not to reveal your wealth …”
Xiao Chen naturally understood that the “wealth” he spoke of was not money and spirit stones, but treasures like the Samsara Jade, Fuxi Zither, and Di Gu Sword. Once it was revealed, if some people saw it, the other party would inevitably have the intention to kill and seize the treasure.
The so-called innocence of an ordinary man and his guilt of carrying a wall was something that everyone in the Hill of Illusory Ruins should understand.
The night outside gradually fell. Xiao Chen stood up and looked outside. Qin Guan saw that his heart was filled with emotion and asked, “Young Hero Xiao, won’t you stay another night?”
“No …”
Xiao Chen looked at the dark sky outside and said, “It’s a good time to cover your tracks in the night, so as not to be followed …”
…
“Has he left yet?”
The lanterns in the pavilion swayed in the wind, reflecting a faint sadness on the woman’s face. Although they had only known each other for seven days, the other party had done his best to clear her poison. Although it looked cold and cold, she could feel that he was not really that cold and heartless …
Tonight, the stars and moons dimmed. Qin Lian slowly raised her head and looked at the faintly visible crescent moon in the sky. She couldn’t help but sigh softly in her heart. He had saved her life, but she didn’t even say a word of farewell to him. He had left in such a hurry …
…
The night in the Qinling Mountains was cold. The north wind was cold and bone-chilling. Xiao Chen brought the map and walked alone in this boundless snowy mountain. If his cultivation hadn’t reached his level, walking in the Qinling Mountains at night like this would have likely encountered some dangers.
Three days later, he was already far away from the Qinling Mountains. Although his sword-riding speed was not slow, the entire Yu Realm was very large. If he wanted to reach the Hill of Illusory Ruins, he would need about three to five days.
During this period of time, rumors about him had spread throughout the entire Yu Realm, causing a commotion in Wushuang City, killing Tai Yinsi, annihilating Taiyin Palace …
Almost every faction in the Yu Realm had already opposed him to the Heavenless Palace. Slowly, these rumors about him gradually attracted the attention of some mysterious factions in the Spirit Ruins Realm.
However, Xiao Chen didn’t care much about this. As for the Heavenless Palace, unless the three people who had already entered the Sage Palace personally came out, he wouldn’t be too afraid. However, he thought that the three of them were currently in seclusion and would definitely not come out.
Another three days passed. By the seventh day, he had already arrived at the edge of Hill of Illusory Ruins. Before he could enter, he had already sensed an unusual Spiritual Energy fluctuation. It seemed that this Hill of Illusory Ruins was truly not an idle place.
The fog in front of him was mysterious, and it seemed to emit a trace of danger. Xiao Chen had flown about a thousand miles with his sword, and he was already at the Hill of Illusory Ruins.
The Hill of Illusory Ruins was an extremely dangerous place. Everyday, people were hunted down, and people died. Every day was filled with the aura of darkness and danger, but it was still unable to stop the footsteps of those who had rushed over to die. What exactly was the reason for that?
Was it for a supreme cultivation technique? Was it for a supreme magic treasure? Or perhaps it was to find a dual cultivation furnace that perfectly matched his own?
In the end, it was all for the sake of strength, and what was the point of desperately increasing one’s strength?
Was it to survive in this cultivation world where the weak preyed on the strong? Or was it for the future, to break the rules and enter the legendary Ancient Immortal Realm?
And what was next? Immortal? Longevity?
Probably everyone had different purposes, but there was only one thing in common. Their purpose in life was not just to live.
Therefore, in a place like the Hill of Illusory Ruins, where there were no rules, the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, became the most primitive natural law of existence.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered that he had been to Tomb of Gods and Demons. In Tomb of Gods and Demons, it was even more dangerous and unpredictable. Life and death were unknown. Back then, he was able to walk out of Tomb of Gods and Demons alive. Now, this Hill of Illusory Ruins was nothing …
In the afternoon, Xiao Chen did not know where he had come from. He saw a murderous aura soaring into the sky and layers of dark clouds enveloping him. However, the dark clouds that filled the sky were not rainfall.
Under the dark clouds, there seemed to be a city that emitted a demonic aura. It looked like a ghost city, appearing under the black clouds from time to time.
If he had only reached the Harmonious Stage in the past, he would have chosen to take a detour instead of rashly approaching this path.
However, now that he had comprehended the truth, no one below the Quasi-Sage Realm could be his opponent. Therefore, he did not seem to have any scruples about the baleful aura that soared into the sky in front of him. He gently tapped his feet and unleashed his fluttering movement technique, heading that way.
When they arrived at the hill outside Ghost City, the murderous aura became even heavier. There was not a single person in the city, and the source of the murderous aura was actually the center of the city. Underneath the city, there was a surge of murderous aura that formed layers of black clouds in the sky above the city.
“Using millions of creatures as a medium, what a formidable fierce array …”
Xiao Chen could tell with a glance that there was a vicious formation in this city. It seemed that the person who set up the formation must be a great devil. In order to cultivate, he didn’t hesitate to sacrifice the entire city’s people …
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but frown. Although the so-called Righteous Dao might not be open and honest in his eyes because of all the things he had experienced back then, he was still from the Profound Sect. Seeing this kind of demonic fiend revolt, it was only natural for him to frown.
Just as he was deep in thought, a green sword light suddenly flew over from the horizon and landed above the city. In an instant, it transformed into a white-browed Daoist wearing a green daoist robe.
But looking at the Daoist holding a whisk, his two curved eyebrows lowered, making him look immortal. When he saw the scene in the city, his face immediately revealed shock. He kept saying to himself, “The Yin Ghost King’s Million Blood Formation has been completed. It seems that it’s not good, not good …”
Just as he finished speaking, two more rays of light flew over from the other two directions. They turned into two people. The first to arrive was a woman dressed in red. However, looking at her muscles like snow, her red clothes were like clouds, and she was beautiful like a fiery red butterfly in the evening flower bushes.
The person who came later was a handsome man, but he had a feminine aura on his body, and his face was also covered with powdered eyebrows, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.
“Shit …”
Seeing this scene, the red-clothed woman and the feminine man’s faces also revealed slight shock. Although they were both shocked, it was clear that their cultivation levels were not low compared to the first White-browed Daoist. Even if they went outside, they were still top-notch human experts.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was hiding on the hill outside the city, withdrawing all of his aura. He hadn’t expected that he would meet the experts in the Hill of Illusory Ruins the moment he arrived. It was too coincidental. From the looks of it, all three of them seemed to be the leaders of some faction in the Hill of Illusory Ruins.
“Hahaha, hahaha!”
Right at this moment, a deep laugh suddenly came from the underground of the ghost city, causing the entire city’s buildings to tremble. Even Xiao Chen, who was far away, felt his chest tighten. He thought that as Qin Guan had said, there were people with extremely high cultivation in the Hill of Illusory Ruins. He didn’t expect that he would happen to meet them today …
“Baimei Shangren, Fairy Red Butterfly, Longevity Sect Master … Are you three finally here today? Hahaha!”
A terrifying voice came from underground. Immediately after, the streets in the city suddenly split apart layer upon layer. A black mist surged up from underground and immediately enveloped the entire city. The scene looked extremely terrifying.
“Watch out!”
Seeing the black mist surge into the air, Daoist White-browed swept through the dust and immediately condensed a layer of Genuine energy protection. The red-clothed woman formed a seal with her hands and also formed a fantasy butterfly in the surroundings to resist the attack of the black mist.
However, the black mist did not only attack the three of them. There was also a surge of black mist that was heading out of the city. It was Xiao Chen’s direction. Seeing the black mist surge over, Xiao Chen immediately condensed a layer of Nine Yang Force to block it. However, at this moment, the underground Ghost King discovered it.
“Hmm? So today, you’ve already invited help … then there’s no need to talk about it, hehe, hahaha!”
Terrifying sounds echoed out. The three White-browed Daoists above the city were slightly surprised. Help? When did they get help? He looked around, but there was no sign of anyone.
“Forget it … enter my Ghost Prison and you will never be able to escape today!”
A terrifying sound rang out. The black clouds in the sky suddenly turned into a devil shadow. Layers of aura suppressed it, as if it was going to devour the entire city. It was already extremely terrifying!
“Not good …”
Seeing the demon shadow shrouding him, Xiao Chen thought to himself that it was not good. He just passed by and didn’t want to get involved. With a single movement, he was about to fly into the distance. However, at this moment, two black mist suddenly swept towards him. “Stay!”
