As the Universe Turns - Chapter 957
Chapter 957 Clouds of Doubt About the Past
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s heart was beating faster and faster, and his mind was filled with memories of the day when the Heavenly Gate had changed more than ten years ago …
At that time, it was strange that Senior identified Feng Xuanzhi as the murderer of everyone in Ning Village, but Feng Xuanzhi did not admit that his original words that day were: “You, six years ago, sneaked into the small village under Xuanqing Mountain as a mortal, but after your identity was revealed, you killed everyone. Is that so?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen recalled everything carefully. But at the end of the day, Xiao Cangtian did not dare to determine it, because his memories of Ning Village were still vague. But later, Wei Yang took out half of the Heavenly Gate Token. The half of the Heavenly Gate Token was found in the ruins of Ning Village, and the evidence was as strong as a mountain.
At that time, no one expected that the matter of Ning Village would involve the Heavenly Gate. In the end, Guan Qishi stood up and said that the half Heavenly Gate Token belonged to him.
At that time, Guan Qishi’s original words were: “That night, I originally wanted to investigate Xiao Cangtian, but I was afraid of disturbing the people in Xuanqing Sect, so I concealed my tracks and wanted to enter the small village under Xuanqing Mountain. However, I didn’t expect that when I entered, I would smell a thick stench of blood …”
‘”At that time, I was also very shocked. Why did Xuanqing Sect not notice so many people died in the village? At this moment, a black shadow suddenly pounced towards me. It was too dark that night. I couldn’t see who that black shadow was, but I could feel it. That person’s cultivation was far above mine. In just a few moves, I was already invincible. I was struck in the chest by his palm …”
“I thought I was going to die there, but that person’s palm struck my Heavenly Gate Token. The Heavenly Gate Token contained magic power. Fortunately, he blocked it for me. Otherwise, I would have died under that palm …”
…
At this moment, the frown between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows grew deeper and deeper. Who was lying? And what exactly happened in Xuanqing Mountain that affected the mortals of the entire village? This matter is not ordinary …
When he blamed Senior for going berserk, he only repeated the names of three people. Master, Feng Xuanzhi, and … the previous Sect Leader of Xuan Qing, Adept Xuan Yin.
I heard that Adept Xuan Yin passed the position of Sect Leader to Daoist Qingxuan more than 600 years ago, and there has been no news since then. Rumor has it that he searched deep in the mountains and ascended. Could it be …
At this moment, Xiao Chen thought of something. On the day of the Heavenly Gate’s change, that mysterious cyan-robed man!
That mysterious cyan-robed man appeared before Feng Xuanzhi appeared. He wore a profound Dao Art, and his cultivation was unfathomable. However, no one was able to guess his identity. However, the Dao Art in his hand had a trace of the same sect origin as Xuanqing Sect’s Dao Art …
On that day, he also came for the Book of Heaven, and then left in the chaos. Could it really be that Sect Leader Xuan Qing from more than 600 years ago …
Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered the last time he visited Xuan Qing. He accidentally noticed an abnormal Spiritual Energy. That night, he followed the faint aura of Spiritual Energy and sneaked into Tianshu Peak. He actually discovered a mysterious black-robed man below. That mysterious black-robed man could arrive at Tianshu Peak without alarming anyone. He must have a good grasp of Xuan Qing’s restrictions and terrain.
At that time, Xiao Chen was still wondering who this person was. He didn’t expect Qianyu Nichang to be there. When the two of them fought against the black-robed man, they discovered that the black-robed man’s cultivation was far higher than the two of them. Even if the two of them worked together, they were pushed back by the other party’s finger force. It could be seen how high that person’s cultivation was at that time.
However, at that time, that person seemed to be afraid of alarming Xuanqing Sect, so after his whereabouts were revealed, he hurriedly left. This person was so familiar with Xuanqing Sect that he did not dare to reveal his true colors. Who could it be? Could it also be Daoist Xuan Yin?
If it was Adept Xuan Yin, why would he sneak back to Xuan Qing?
At that time, Qianyu Nichang happened to be down there. What was Qianyu Nichang doing down there? It can’t be just a coincidence. Most likely, Qianyu Nichang’s identity isn’t simple either …
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt his thoughts were a little confused and his heart was in a state of chaos. The last sentence that Su Ye said just now sounded in his ears, “The world is dangerous. Kid, you have to be careful …”
Dao is not Dao, devil is not Devil, good and evil are in the heart. The hearts of people were unfathomable, as if they were demons or not.
There was only one thought in his mind. Xiao Chen closed his eyes deeply. At this moment, soft footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the secret room. Then, Shen Jing’s voice sounded, “Senior Xiao … did he wake up?”
“Shen Jing …”
Xiao Chen immediately opened his eyes. When he was outside, he was completely focused on Xiao Cangtian. He did not notice Shen Jing’s abnormality in the distance. He went to open the stone door of the secret room and saw the other party standing outside with an inexplicable and complicated expression on his face.
“That …”
Shen Jing raised her head and looked into the dark secret room. She whispered, “Senior Xiao, is he awake?”
Xiao Chen could tell that the unspeakable pain in her heart was gone now. Only she and herself survived …
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen looked at her and said, “Su Ye said that Senior’s divine sense had been erased, so his memory of Ning Village has always been blurry. But when he wakes up, I will ask …”
“Is that so …”
Shen Jing looked into the pitch-black secret room again. She recalled the terrifying appearance of Xiao Cangtian outside just now. For some reason, she still felt her heart palpitate and fear. A heart seemed to be hanging outside.
Seeing that she was a little uneasy, Xiao Chen asked again after a while, “How is Wei Yang?”
“Miss Wei Yang …”
At this moment, thinking about what happened just now, Shen Jing was still a little confused. She shook her head and said, “When I heard the noise, I rushed over. She’s not awake yet.”
At the end of her sentence, she raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen. She shook her head and said, “It’s fine. I’ll go back and see her now. You don’t have to worry …”
“Sister Shen Jing …”
When Shen Jing turned around to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly reached out to stop her.
Shen Jing turned around. At this moment, her face was a little stunned. It had been a long time since she had heard the other party address her like this, but she was unaccustomed to it at this moment. She said hesitantly, “Why did you suddenly call me sister again …”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the past. Back then, his meridians in his entire body had been broken, and his cultivation had been completely lost. His heart was dejected. In that small valley, the other party was taking care of him every day and night. Even if she made a little noise, she would come over worriedly to take a look …
“No, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first …”
Shen Jing lowered her head and slowly walked outside. Xiao Chen said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely find the murderer from Ning Village. No matter who he is, no matter how high his cultivation level is, no matter whether he covers the sky with his hand or not, I will never let him off …”
Hearing this, Shen Jing’s body trembled slightly. Suddenly, she stopped. She turned her head slightly and said faintly, “What if it was someone very important to you …”
“What …”
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what she meant. When he regained his senses, her figure had already disappeared from the corridor. Only that faint sentence seemed to echo in the secret room.
Although he had gathered in Spiritual Bloodline Force all these years, at the same time, he had asked Night Shade to secretly investigate the matter of Ning Village back then. He had never given up. However, the matter back then was really complicated and confusing. Even Xuanqing Sect could not find out the truth. It would not be easy for him to find out the truth in a short period of time.
After a long time, he returned to the secret room and looked at the unconscious Xiao Cangtian. He recalled what the other party had said at the Heavenly Gate that day, word by word.
‘”Ling Yin saved you back then because of the karma in the mortal world. She thought that if she entrusted you to a woman in the mortal world to raise you, she would be able to break this karma and successfully overcome the tribulation to become an immortal. However, as long as the karma in the world was affected, who could change it against the heavens?”
“This is the will of heaven, God wants me to meet you, The will of heaven allows me to avenge my death, ‘”Ling Yin, Ling Yin, although I can’t kill you, I will die if I die, but I will make your life more painful. You and this brat can’t break the karma. You always say that all the demons in the world should be eliminated. If the world finds out that your only disciple possesses demonic arts, what will you do then?”
“That’s why I put on this profound art of mine, All to you, I always knew, This Nine Yin Nine Yang Mysterious Technique could be reversed, Reverse Fortune Mysterious Technique, It was a devil art, Strength increased tenfold, But it must also become a devil, I was thinking, “Brat, you have just arrived in the mortal world, and you have experienced a life of near-death tribulation. Then, your life will be filled with many calamities. One day, if you are forced by someone, you will definitely reverse your profound arts. At that time, even if I am under the Nine Springs, I will still watch as Ling Yin kills you or protects you. However, regardless of whether it is killing you or protecting you, she will definitely suffer for a lifetime and become an immortal.”
…
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. He blamed Senior for his hatred towards Master, which was so deep that it could not be resolved. No one was able to resolve it.
Next, seven days passed. On this day, Xiao Cangtian finally woke up. There was still no light in the dark stone room.
“Senior is awake.”
Right at this moment, a voice sounded from the darkness. In a corner, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged, motionless.
“Kid …”
Xiao Cangtian rubbed his forehead. He seemed to have a slight impression of what happened seven days ago. Xiao Chen slowly stood up and walked over. He looked at him and said, “Senior, did you remember something?”
“I…”
Xiao Cangtian rubbed his forehead. He only remembered that day when he suddenly went crazy. After a while, he raised his head and said, “I didn’t hurt you that day, did I?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “Senior, were you studying that fragment of the Heavenly Book that day?”
Hearing this, Xiao Cangtian was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, “If I hadn’t been obsessed with it for a while, I probably wouldn’t have been so obsessed with it. Ai, forget it. Although I obtained this Heavenly Tome, I didn’t have any fate with me. That day, I lost my mind and didn’t hurt you …”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He thought that if he hadn’t gone crazy, he probably wouldn’t have remembered that lost memory. But now, it seemed that he couldn’t remember it anymore.
“Brat, what’s your cultivation like now?” After a while, Xiao Cangtian raised his head again and asked him.
Xiao Chen knitted his eyebrows and remained silent. His cultivation was still at the last time he had comprehended the truth. However, that time, before he had completely broken through, he rushed out, leaving behind a little trouble. Apart from that, not long ago in Acheron Valley, under the Demon Abyss, the Divine Devil had given him a divine and demonic sense.
Xiao Cangtian said, “in less than a year, “It’s the Peerless Gathering. If you go to the Peerless Gathering, then according to the rules in Spirit Ruins Realm, even Heavenless Palace will not be able to do anything to you during this period. However, when I observed Qianyu Nichang that day, her cultivation progressed unexpectedly quickly. Now, it seems that if her Three Flowers Gathering Summit is completely undone, then her cultivation will most likely be higher than yours.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Chen nodded. Actually, it wasn’t just Qianyu Nichang. There was also Xiao Meng’er. That day, Xiao Meng’er took the risk and his cultivation broke through. If he found that [Essence of Second Wood] this time, his cultivation would be even more terrifying. He could even peek at the Sage realm. If he still stayed here, the cultivation of these two people would probably be higher than his own.
One of the two had three flowers gathering at the top, the other had a supreme combination of the Xiao Clan’s ancient martial arts and the Immortal Qiong Sect’s dao arts, and what did he have?
What he possessed was an Undying Concept that no one else possessed, and it controlled life and death!
However, even though the Undying Concept was extremely powerful, he was still stuck at the fourth level of the Ruthless Realm, unable to comprehend the next level of the Return to Truth Realm.
If he could comprehend the Realm of Return to Truth, then he would definitely have a glimpse of the Realm of the Sage. Only then would he be considered one of the true experts. Even if the entire ancient land of Xianyuan was in turmoil, and the undercurrents were turbulent, what would he fear at that time?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, “After a while, Wei Yang will wake up. Bai Luan and Zi Yuan will return. I plan to go into seclusion for a period of time.”
“Mm …”
Xiao Cangtian nodded. He knew that Xiao Chen had comprehended a unique artistic conception at the peak of the East China Sea in the past. Although it was difficult, he did not have to follow others. He would definitely achieve great success in the future.
