As the Universe Turns - Chapter 918
Chapter 918 Dust-free Heart
At this moment, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground. The two of them looked serious at the same time and shifted their gazes from each other to the ground. Obviously, their sudden intrusion had alerted the spirit veins here.
“Your Excellency …”
Right at this moment, another purple figure landed on the valley. It was Zi Yuan who flew down. Xiao Chen sent her a secret message, “Zi Yuan, you came at the right time. The Eye of Spirit Veins has already shifted. Use your tracking technique to probe. If necessary, regardless of the consequences, you will directly use the ring of Spirit Veins to forcefully take it … As for this person, I will hold him.”
“Alright.”
Zi Yuan didn’t say anything, and with a movement of her body, she instantly turned into a wisp of purple mist and dissipated into the distance.
Seeing this, Xiao Meng’er instantly raised the Lotus Platform, wanting to chase after her. Xiao Chen also unleashed the Ling Xian Step. With a wave of his palm, a palm power that contained boundless potential suddenly surged towards her.
Xiao Meng’er sensed the attack from her palm, but she did not panic. She formed a Taoist Lotus seal in her hand. The seal shone with a golden light and blocked Xiao Chen’s palm with a “boom”.
“This person has such deep cultivation …”
Even though she blocked this palm strike, Xiao Meng’er immediately noticed that the person in front of her was about the same age as herself, but her cultivation was definitely not inferior to her. Apart from that person in her generation, she had never seen such an expert before.
However, she had no intention of arguing with Xiao Chen here. First, she was afraid of disturbing the Eye of the Nether Spring. Second, her Dao Heart was like water. Even if the person in front of her was on par with her, she was not obsessed with winning or losing. The top priority was to find the Eye of the Nether Spring as soon as possible and bring it back to the Xiao Clan.
Seeing that Xiao Chen’s second palm was about to strike again, Xiao Meng’er suddenly said, “So what if Your Excellency stalls me here? It would be too naive of you to let your hand draw the Eye of the Netherspring. Do you know what the power of the Eye of the Netherspring is? Letting her rashly go over like this would be tantamount to sending her to her death.”
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “I think you should not underestimate her …”
He had never doubted Night Shade’s ability. Perhaps, out of the twenty-four people in Night Shade, their individual cultivation levels were not very high, but their methods and abilities had never disappointed him.
However, he hadn’t expected that there was actually a Spiritual Meridian Eye in Acheron Valley. Otherwise, he would definitely let all of Night Shade’s people in.
“Unfortunately, I can’t let Your Excellency disturb the Eye of Spirit Veins here.”
A chill suddenly appeared in Xiao Meng’er’s eyes. At this moment, she knew that the person in front of her not only harbored hostility towards her, but also seemed to be determined to obtain the Eye of the Nether Spring. It would be useless to continue.
Suddenly, she twisted her fingers and a whisk sword appeared in her hand. However, looking at the green light surrounding the whisk sword, it seemed that a green lotus flower covered it and reflected on the lotus platform beneath her feet. The two emitted a hundred zhang light at the same time, instantly dispelling the dark energy at the bottom of the abyss.
Clearly, the Whistle Sword and the Lotus Platform were extraordinary objects. The Whistle Sword was formed from the stems and leaves of the lotus flower and was called “Chen Xin”. The Lotus Platform was called “Wu Gou”. “Chen Xin Wu Gou” originally belonged to the Immortal Monarch Donghua of the Immortal Joan Sect, but he didn’t expect that he would actually pass these two immortal treasures to Xiao Meng’er.
Obviously, at this moment, Xiao Chen could also feel that these two supreme treasures were no ordinary treasures. They were probably comparable to Immortal Dimension magic treasures. However, although Xiao Meng’er’s Dao Art was high, her cultivation had never reached the Sage realm. The power of these two magic treasures in her hands was less than one-tenth of two.
Just as he was pondering, a green sword qi suddenly slashed towards him. The sword momentum could not be said to be earth-shattering, but it was extremely swift and sharp. Xiao Chen immediately launched his Ling Xian Step to dodge. Unexpectedly, in the next moment, countless strands of sword qi enveloped him. Such a sharp sword technique actually made it impossible for him to dodge.
A moment later, under the opponent’s fierce sword attack, Xiao Chen actually looked somewhat embarrassed. Chen Xin and Wu Gou were two immortal treasures that were too powerful together. Only Di Gu Sword could resist them.
However, if he were to use Di Gu, his identity would immediately be revealed to the other party. At the same time, he had never thought of using Di Gu to deal with a woman who might be younger than him.
Seeing that he was slowly losing ground, the sword technique in Xiao Meng’er’s hand became even more fierce. The fallen leaves under the abyss instantly turned into millions of sword qi and slashed towards him, leaving him nowhere to hide!
Just as the Sword Qi that filled the sky slashed towards him, a streak of azure light suddenly flew out. In his hand, an immortal sword that was filled with azure light actually appeared.
This sword was not Di Gu. It was a sword formed from his true energy. Although it was a “Void Sword”, it was still like a divine weapon in his hand. Once the 33-dan Jade Flute Sword Technique was executed, Xiao Meng’er’s sword energy suddenly felt like fallen leaves were being swept up by the wind and collapsed one layer after another.
“What a formidable swordsmanship …”
Xiao Meng’er’s eyes narrowed. It was rare for her to see such a powerful sword technique. Not only did it break her sword momentum in an instant, it also slashed towards her from all directions, making it impossible for her to avoid it no matter how fast she was … Just where did this person come from?
Xiao Chen’s thousands of sharp sword shadows had already covered her, but Xiao Meng’er did not panic as she threw the Dust Heart Sword into the air. At the same time, she formed a seal with both of her hands and muttered, “Dao gives birth to heart, heart gives birth to lotus. Naturally, the Dao Art will be completed.”
Just as she finished speaking, a lotus image suddenly appeared on the Unsullied Lotus Platform beneath her feet and enveloped her. “Bang, bang, bang, bang!” All of them blocked Xiao Chen’s Sword Qi from the outside. Not only did they block the Sword Qi from the outside, they even rebounded and attacked Xiao Chen himself.
“If you use your own way, then you can use your own body. Unless you break through my lotus flower, it’s impossible for you to injure me. Forcibly attacking will only cause you to suffer a backlash.”
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er’s hands were still sealed, just like a misty Fairy in the clouds. Being in a lotus flower, any attack would become ineffective against her. On the contrary, if she forcefully attacked, it would only cause the attack to rebound and attack the caster himself.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze narrowed slightly. He thought to himself that this woman’s Dao Art was indeed very high. It seemed that she was deeply favored by Immortal Monarch Donghua. Even if Qianyu Nichang were to compete with her, if she didn’t use the Three Flowers Gathering Summit, she probably wouldn’t be a match for her.
“How is it? Do you still want to obstruct me?”
Xiao Meng’er’s hands formed seals and he looked at him indifferently. At this moment, he was like Fairy, who was lofty and disdainful of everything in the mortal world.
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything to her. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and a black mist suddenly rolled out from his sleeve. It was actually a dense aura of death that wrapped around Xiao Meng’er.
“This …”
When she saw this thick black mist, Xiao Meng’er couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. Earlier, when she saw that the other party was also using a profound sect cultivation technique, she guessed that this person should also be a profound sect cultivator.
But at this moment, she actually saw the other party use such a strange fog. How could this be used by a cultivator? The layers of black mist had actually begun to muddy her lotus shadow. This was clearly a trick that only people in Diabolism had!
“So your Excellency is actually a demon cultivator!”
Xiao Meng’er’s face was shocked. At this moment, her gaze became extremely sharp and cold. Although she was from the Xiao Clan, she cultivated in the Immortal Qiong Sect. She naturally knew the difference between Dao and Devil. Since ancient times, Immortal and Devil had never stood apart. She never expected that this person in front of her was actually a person who cultivated Devil!
This time, there was no more courtesy in her eyes. She wished she could get rid of people from Diabolism quickly. However, this person in front of her clearly possessed an extremely pure aura of Xianyuan. Furthermore, she also possessed the cultivation methods of the Taoist Profound Sect. How could a person who cultivated demons do this?
“Dao? Demon? In your opinion, what is Dao? What is Demon?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. He looked at her quietly at this moment. Xiao Meng’er was momentarily lost. When she was young, she had taken Immortal Monarch Donghua as her master. Her entire life’s knowledge was the same as when Xiao Chen was still in Xuan Qing. Dao and demon did not coexist in this world. Dao was Dao, and demon was devil. The two must not be confused.
“I see …”
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er’s gaze became even sharper. She finally understood. No wonder this person in front of her also had a profound Dao Art, because he was also a member of the Profound Sect at the beginning, but later, he was willing to be controlled by the Heart Demon. In a single thought, he fell into Diabolism!
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in her mind. Although she had never seen that person before and had only occasionally heard about him from the clansmen, she couldn’t help but reveal a look of disgust in her eyes. She coldly said, “Your Excellency was originally a cultivator, but he was willing to be controlled by a demonic bewitchment. It’s a pity.”
“Haha …”
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “Looks like you still don’t understand … the essence of all things, all methods are natural. Do you know what is a pure heart?” Those without dirt in their hearts are not deceived by demons, neither are they deceived by demons, nor are they dao and demons. If you are so obsessed with dao demons in your heart, isn’t it another kind of demonic confusion? Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and Se Er has already … It seems that what you learned from Immortal Monarch Donghua is only superficial. ”
“You …”
For a moment, Xiao Meng’er was rendered speechless by his words. Even her mind became somewhat confused. At the moment when she was absent-minded, the black mist had already caused cracks in her lotus image.
“Shit …”
Xiao Meng’er immediately regained her senses, but it was already too late. With a “bang”, the lotus image instantly shattered and dissipated.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had already launched a fierce attack. He suddenly struck at her with his palm. In a hurry, Xiao Meng’er quickly recalled the Dust Heart Sword. With a “bang”, she barely managed to block his palm strike, but she was shaken to the point that she kept retreating.
After she steadied herself, shock flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered and her mood calmed down.
This time, she finally understood the power of this person in front of her. She only said that what the other party said just now was just to confuse her heart. However, she had cultivated for many years, so how could her heart be disturbed by that moment? This person is indeed evil and evil …
“May I ask your Excellency, who exactly is he?”
This time, her gaze became solemn and determined not to be disturbed by the other party’s words. As for Xiao Chen, he looked at her and said indifferently, “You will know.”
The air turned as cold as frost. At this moment, a violent shock suddenly came from underground, causing the surrounding void to tremble as well.
At this moment, Xiao Meng’er suddenly realized something. This person had been stalling for time with her, but his subordinate had already found the Eye of the Netherspring. At this moment, her face couldn’t help but change slightly, “You actually let her forcefully take the Eye of the Spirit Vein!”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent as he said indifferently, “So what?”
