"Huh?!" Upon hearing Chen Changāanās words, the two elders were instantly dumbfounded.
To be honest, they had never met Chen Changāan. They didnāt even know what Chen Changāan looked like or any distinctive features Chen Changāan had. The reason they came to the Tianyuan World this time was merely to accompany Zhang Qiuye by their family masterās instruction.
Hence, they had never considered the matter of Zhang Qiuye wanting to become a disciple to Chen Changāan. They hadnāt even imagined the possibility of meeting Chen Changāan face to face. Who knew they would unexpectedly encounter him in person?
"So itās you, sir."
"Donāt worry sir, we understand. After the young master wakes up, we will inform him."
Immediately, the two elders bowed to Chen Changāan again, agreeing to this matter.
In a short while, Zhang Qiuye was led away by the two elders. Their lodging was also at the Tianyue Inn. Chen Changāan took a closer look and found that it was quite close to where he was staying.
However, he didnāt mind. After finishing the leftovers with Shen Xuzi, he went back to his room.
The night passed without a word, and it was soon dawn. Early the next morning, Lin Qingxuan arrived at Chen Changāanās door, who had just woken up.
Lin Qingxuan said to Chen Changāan, "Brother, are you ready? We will set off today."
The opening of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion is this afternoon and they would have to cross a large river named Yunmeng River to get there. Every time the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion appears, it is deep within the Yunmeng Marsh on the other side of the Yunmeng River.
The Yunmeng River has a very ancient rule, which is that you cannot fly or use any techniques above the surface of the river, you can only cross by boat.
Therefore, this part of the journey is time-consuming, hence the need to set off early in the morning.
"Yes, Iām ready." Chen Changāan nodded his head. He didnāt spend the night doing nothing. He found a few books about Tianyuan World from his space, studied heavily about the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, and had some understanding of the Yunmeng Marsh.
"Then brother, letās go now." Seeing Chen Changāan nod, Lin Qingxuan gave a slight smile, immediately took the lead in showing the way for Chen Changāan, continuously introducing things in the city as they walked.
"Brother, thatās our boat. Letās get going."
In no time, the two arrived at a turbulent big river, this was the so-called Yunmeng River.
Chen Changāan noticed that the water of Yunmeng River was yellow, with waves rolling one after the other.
In the middle of the river, Chen Changāan detected the presence of some Rules.
These rules were very high, even surpassing the level of Dao. If not for Chen Changāan recently blending with Heaven and Earth, and having some understanding of the Dao, he might not have noticed it at all.
"Could there be some terrifying existence beneath this river?" Chen Changāan touched his chin, entertaining this thought.
Supreme rules donāt descend into the world without a reason, if it does, it certainly denotes some form of change is happening.
From what Chen Changāan knows, that which can cause this change typically exists only in legend as an ultimate existence. So, could there be a secret hidden beneath this lake?
Chen Changāan didnāt dare to act recklessly. Regardless of whether something terrifying truly exists at the bottom of the lake or not, he did not feel any malicious aura at this moment. Since he did not sense any malice, he saw no need to act rashly.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Noticing that Chen Changāan was standing still, Lin Qingxuan was somewhat puzzled.
Could brother have discovered the remains of an Immortal in the Yunmeng River?
Lin Qingxuan knew a bit about what existed within Yunmeng River.
If she is not mistaken, buried within this Yunmeng River are the remains of an Immortal. Not just one, but in the depths of Yunmeng Marsh, a broken sword also guards it.
In her previous life, when calamity befallen the entire Wuxiang realm, apart from a few people like her who were affected, Yunmeng Marsh also didnāt fare well.
But, when all seemed lost, a Sword Spirit, dressed in thousands of strands of cyan hair and wielding a broken sword, stepped out of the Yunmeng Marsh and shot straight towards the sky.
The battle power that erupted, even if compared to her peak period, was not superior, but it was terrifyingly strong.
At that time, she originally wanted to join forces with this sword spirit, but it completely ignored her, which eventually lead to a total collapse.
In this rebirth, Lin Qingxuan really wanted to make a move on the sword spirit in Yunmeng Marsh, at least to get acquainted with it.
Unfortunately, up to now, she has not been able to exchange even half a sentence with it, not because she dislikes socializing, but because she simply has no way to approach it.
With her soul realm at the level of an ancient immortal monarch, she still could not penetrate the swirling Yunmeng River and see whatās beneath it, which really shows something!
What surprised Lin Qingxuan now is that it seemed her senior brother could see some things she couldnāt, which made it interesting.
"Nothing, I just noticed some interesting scenes," Chen Changāan shook his head.
Afterwards, they got on the boat.
On the boat, Chen Changāan stood at the bow, carefully sensing every inch of the water surface with his divine sense. However, he quickly discovered that even he could not penetrate the river to its bottom. The only thing he could perceive was a breath that had almost escaped the Dao rule. This was a bit strange.
After some confusion, Chen Changāan asked Lin Qingxuan, "Junior sister, do you know any legends about this Yunmeng River?"
"I donāt know." Lin Qingxuan shook her head. Although she wanted to tell Chen Changāan something, unfortunately, there were no legends about Yunmeng River passed down in this world.
Even for her, if it wasnāt for the sudden arrival of an inauspicious event in her previous life that forced the emergence of the invincible sword spirit named Mu Yunyun, she might have never known about the secret hidden in Yunmeng River until her death.
And these things canāt be told to others. Rebirth is Lin Qingxuanās greatest secret; she would never reveal it to anyone!
"Oh, thatās a shame." Chen Changāan was initially hoping to get some useful information from Lin Qingxuan, but it was not to be, causing some disappointment.
"Senior brother, donāt be discouraged. Although there are no records about Yunmeng River in this world, the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion might have some. You could take a look there when you get the chance."
"Iāll have to check it out then." Chen Changāan nodded in agreement, then he fell silent.
"Old man, do you know whatās going on?"
However, on the surface Chen Changāan appeared silent, but inside he immediately began communicating with Shen Xuzi in his inner world.
"I have no idea!"
In response to Chen Changāanās words, Shen Xuzi spread his hands and scornfully said,
"Kid, you canāt honestly believe that I know everything!"
"However, I will say this, I do feel a familiar aura on this river."
Immediately afterward, Shen Xuziās eyebrows furrowed as though he remembered something.
"Familiar? Do you know whatās inside?" Upon hearing Shen Xuziās words, Chen Changāan was instantly stunned. If even this old fella felt something familiar, then there must be something there.
Shen Xuzi shook his head. "I donāt know, as it seems to have occurred after I fell into a deep sleep.
"If I had to guess, Iād say that there was a great battle here."
"The intensity of the battle was about the same as those youāve seen in the Great Wilderness; it was a battle between immortals."
A battle between immortals?
Hearing Shen Xuziās words, Chen Changāan immediately understood.
No wonder there was a high-level aura present. Everything made sense now under this explanation.
