Chapter 475: Xu Ling's Shock
Chapter 475: Xu Ling's Shock
"Ling-er!"
A shrill scream echoed, Chen Luo shoved through the surrounding onlookers, trembling as he gazed at the blood-soaked ground. His face was filled with despair.
The others snapped back to their senses, startled and retreating in fear.
"Be on guard!"
A middle-aged cultivator shouted sternly, instinctively looking towards Yang Jian.
Only the Holy King could have the means to directly kill Xu Ling in front of them.
Yang Jian looked up, his divine sense swiftly probing, but he couldn't detect any suspicious auras.
Chen Luo knelt before the blood, unable to accept the reality before him. Moments ago, he felt like the happiest man in the world, but now he felt like he had fallen into hell.
Yang Jian's Xiao Chuan, cradled in his arms, seemed to sense something and began wailing loudly. But Chen Luo couldn't spare him any attention.
The Chen Family Patriarch approached Yang Jian, frowning as he asked, "Holy King, what's going on here?"
Although he didn't like Xu Ling, as she was a descendant of the Xu Family, her death in front of them would be a huge loss of face for the Chen Family if it got out.
"I'm not sure either, it's truly strange..." Yang Jian replied, passing Xiao Chuan to the Chen Family Patriarch before disappearing from his spot.
The other Chen Family members snapped out of their daze and immediately left the hall, beginning to take precautions.
Chen Luo abruptly looked up at the Chen Family Patriarch, his voice filled with emotion, "Father, save Ling-er! Save her!"
The Chen Family Patriarch took a deep breath, "Her soul has scattered, and there's nothing we can do..."
His heart was also filled with fear. If it wasn't the doing of the Holy King, then what had happened?
Xu Ling's death was too bizarre, not only shocking Chen Luo but also scaring the others.
At this moment, the Chen Family Patriarch's greatest fear was that Chen Luo would also meet with misfortune, but he was helpless. He even dared not touch Chen Luo, fearing he would also be in danger.
From far away, at Taixuan Sect, Gu An witnessed this scene. It all happened too quickly, and in an instant, he captured Xu Ling's soul, using his own Cause and Effect Power to protect her soul from the mysterious Cause and Effect Power's destruction.
If that mysterious being could kill Xu Ling, could they also kill others? This was Gu An's greatest concern, so he chose to hide Xu Ling's soul, unable to take his eyes off her.
Fortunately, nothing else happened, and only Xu Ling had died.
Yang Jian returned to the Chen Residence, gathering with the Chen Family to discuss Xu Ling's death. Suddenly, Chen Luo severed his meridians and destroyed his Golden Core, intending to scatter his soul. Yang Jian immediately stopped him, but even so, Chen Luo became an invalid.
Seeing this, Gu An couldn't help but sigh.
His intervention had saved Chen Luo and Xu Ling, but it had invited a different kind of misfortune.
He suddenly felt confused. If the hidden force behind this was targeting him, why go after Xu Ling instead of those close to him?
Many of the people he cared about had cultivation below the Great Enlightenment Realm.
Could it be that this mysterious being wanted Xiao Chuan to walk a path of no return, luring Gu An away from this universe?
When protecting Xu Ling's soul, Gu An could sense the power of the Cause and Effect Power, though not as strong as his own. Still, he could confirm that this Cause and Effect Power originated from another universe. Without crossing universes, it was difficult to determine who was stronger.
Gu An stood up, jumping down from the tree, and looked at Zhu Xi, "You continue cultivating. I have some matters to attend to."
As his words fell, Gu An vanished into thin air.
He took a step and arrived at the Tranquil Spirit Palace deep beneath the sea.
The Deep Sea Carp was cultivating and hadn't sensed Gu An's arrival.
Gu An raised his right hand, releasing Xu Ling's soul and using the Great Dao Spirit Energy to recreate her physical body.
Xu Ling still had a long life ahead of her, and as long as her lifespan hadn't ended, she could reunite with her body. This was not a difficult task for Gu An, but crossing the Heavenly Numbers was the challenge.
Xu Ling's body reformed, along with her clothing, just as she had been before her death.
The Deep Sea Carp sensed her breathing, opened his eyes, and saw his master appear. He was overjoyed, standing up and hurrying over.
Xu Ling felt like she had just had a nightmare. She sat on the ground, panting heavily, drenched in sweat. She looked up, her eyes filled with fear as she saw the handsome Gu An, who resembled a divine immortal from a painting.
"You don't need to worry, I won't harm you, but you can't go back. A powerful being beyond the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao wants to harm your son, so they killed you. From now on, you'll cultivate here. After some time, I'll bring your husband here, and in the future, you'll manage the Medicine Valley for me. Eventually, your family of three will be reunited."
Gu An left after saying this and disappeared, Xu Ling was at least a Great Enlightenment Realm cultivator and soon accepted the reality.
The clone in Tranquil Spirit Palace had already been replaced, and now it was at the cultivation level of Luo Heaven Free Immortal. Here, the power of cause and effect beyond the universe found it difficult to persecute Xu Ling, and it couldn't even detect her whereabouts.
Xu Ling was stunned after hearing Gu An's words, her eyes vacant.
Deep Sea Carp stood by the side, scratching his head, unsure of how to join the conversation. He, too, was pondering Gu An's previous words.
A powerful existence beyond Immortal Dao's Ninth Heaven?
And who was this girl's son?
Tranquil Spirit Palace fell into silence.
After a long while, Xu Ling took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Deep Sea Carp. She asked, "I am Xu Ling. May I ask how I should address the young lady, and could you introduce me to this place and the senior from earlier?"
Her heart was in shock. What kind of cultivation level did one need to casually mention those beyond Immortal Dao's Ninth Heaven? Young lady?
Upon hearing this, Deep Sea Carp's face broke into a smile, so gentle that it made Xu Ling feel a sense of warmth towards him.
...
In the middle of the night, Chen Luo sat in a chair with disheveled hair, his eyes empty. His mother held Xiao Chuan, constantly comforting him, hoping he would cheer up, but he couldn't bring himself to listen.
Just then, Yang Jian entered the room and looked at Chen Luo, saying, "There's still hope for your wife to live."
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo abruptly raised his head and rushed towards Yang Jian, grabbing his arms and asking anxiously, "Is this true? What should I do? What do you want from me?"
Yang Jian's expression was calm as he said, "Go to the Taixuan Sect on Great Cang Continent. You'll know what to do when you get there."
Chen Luo immediately let go and ran out the door.
Chen Luo's mother wanted to call out to him, but Yang Jian stopped her. With a meaningful look, Yang Jian said, "He has lost all his cultivation now. It's a good opportunity to temper him. Let him go to the Taixuan Sect on his own. Don't offer him any assistance."

Yang Jian nodded slightly, and Chen Luo's mother heaved a sigh of relief, even showing a hint of joy in her eyes.

Cultivators inherently believed in past lives and rebirths. Knowing her grandson had a past life, she didn't reject it; instead, she liked him even more.
Perhaps this grandson could bring prosperity to the Chen Family.
...
As winter arrived, snowflakes danced in the air.
Gu An stood on the balcony, watching the snow. Ever since Xu Ling's misfortune, he had been keeping an eye on Xiao Chuan, relieved that the power of cause and effect hadn't caused further chaos.
However, in reality, the mastermind behind the scenes had succeeded. Xiao Chuan was back to being without his parents.
This incident gave Gu An an idea.
The power of cause and effect could even transcend the universe.
He decided to focus on studying the power of cause and effect, strengthening his understanding of it.
In the past, he had been contemplating various Great Dao rules. Now, he thought it might be better to first develop one Great Dao to its peak.
He saw Chen Luo sailing alone in the vast ocean, his small boat like a leaf in the vast sea, in danger of being engulfed at any moment.
Although Gu An wanted to temper Chen Luo's character, he didn't truly leave him to face everything alone, as Chen Luo had no cultivation.
Along the way, Gu An had already helped Chen Luo with many troubles he couldn't handle, and the rest of the journey would depend on Chen Luo's willpower.
Yang Jian had already left the Chen Family. Before leaving, the Chen Family Patriarch had asked Yang Jian to give a name, and Yang Jian was hesitant. Fortunately, he received a message from his master.
Chen Chuan.
This was Xiao Chuan's name in this life, very ordinary, but coming from Yang Jian's mouth, it gave the Chen Family new hope.
Was the Holy King hoping that Chen Chuan would be like the mountains and rivers, unyielding and vigorous?
Xu Ling stayed in Tranquil Spirit Palace, getting along well with Deep Sea Carp, even calling each other sisters. She didn't realize that Deep Sea Carp was a male demon with slightly higher cultivation than hers.
Life returned to its peaceful rhythm.
Xiao Chuan's cause and effect didn't trouble Gu An; instead, it felt like an enjoyable game.
Once he became strong enough, he would definitely expose the mastermind behind the scenes.
He even contemplated using the power of cause and effect to annihilate the other party across the universe.
