Chapter 1940: Chapter 1939: Heaven-reaching River, Longevity Turtle

Upon hearing Longevity True Man’s words, Shou Yi was somewhat reluctant, always feeling it was making a big fuss over nothing.

But since it was a command from his master, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Watching Shou Yi leave, Longevity True Man patted the pouch hanging from his waist.

From within that pouch, a small head poked out.

It turned out to be a little mouse, completely golden, especially its eyes which were the size of beans.

They reflected an aura of wealth and prosperity.

The little mouse chattered twice.

Surprisingly, from its mouth came an old voice, totally mismatched with its appearance.

“Longevity, why do you disturb my sleep?”

“Treasure-seeking Mouse, I need your assistance,”

Longevity True Man said.

“This world is too vast, I need your sense to guide me.”

“And the reward?

We agreed before, don’t think of freeloading off me,” the Treasure-seeking Mouse said in an elderly tone.

“Rest assured, the legacy here is extraordinary.

If found, you’ll be the first to search,”

Longevity True Man said.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse added, “If I’m not satisfied, you must give me your Jade Ruyi.”

Upon hearing this, Longevity True Man pondered for a moment.

He seemed somewhat pained.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Deal!”

As everyone knows, the Treasure-seeking Mouse is an ancient Divine Beast.

Their strength isn’t notable.

But when it comes to treasure hunting, they have abilities beyond that of ordinary people.

However, Treasure-seeking Mice are very greedy, to enlist their help you must pay with treasures.

And it can only be an exchange of treasures, if you try to threaten them, it could end in mutual destruction.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse is the kind that values wealth over life.

Even if you kill it, it won’t let you get anything for free.

The usefulness of a Treasure-seeking Mouse is immense, so Longevity True Man had to compromise with it.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse first sniffed with its nose, frowning.

It said, “The Spirit Perception of this world is blocked, seems I’m forced to use my true skills!”

“If it wasn’t challenging, I wouldn’t have sought you out,” said Longevity True Man.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse floated in the air.

A rich golden light emanated from its body.

This golden light seemed to carry some sort of causality within it.

This is the Treasure-seeking Mouse’s trump card.

The rule of causality.

Although this rule doesn’t greatly enhance strength, it has infinite uses in certain aspects.

Like right now.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse mumbled in its mouth.

“Heavenly treasures, all have fates with me.

I am the cause, treasures are the effect.”

As the words fell, in this world, there seemed to be some invisible force spreading out.

Connecting the Treasure-seeking Mouse with certain things in the world.

However, as soon as they connected, a thunderclap descended from the heavens, aiming to stop it all.

“Not good,” Longevity True Man shouted with a grim face.

“The Heavenly Dao doesn’t allow it, what have you done?”

“No need to fear, this world doesn’t allow it, but it’s unrelated to the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Domains,” the Treasure-seeking Mouse said confidently.

“If the master of this place were alive, we could talk about it.

But an ownerless thing dares to sever my causality rules, it’s just wishful thinking.”

The Treasure-seeking Mouse charged toward the thunderbolt fearlessly.

With another “boom,”

the thunderbolt wasn’t as strong, and the golden light on the Treasure-seeking Mouse’s body grew even richer.

This golden light protected it, making the thunderbolt only cause a slight tremor of its image before vanishing.

It was clear this thunderbolt was a self-protection measure of the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagram, not allowing the Treasure-seeking Mouse to casually alter the rules of this world.

Unfortunately, the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagram was already ownerless.

The Empress no longer existed, and couldn’t stop the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

“Found it,” the Treasure-seeking Mouse looked at a certain place and exclaimed softly.

Then it transformed into a stream of light, disappearing ahead.

Seeing the treasure, nothing mattered to the Treasure-seeking Mouse, it rushed up first.

This is the instinct of the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

In front of treasures, they’d lose everything, even at the cost of their lives.

“Quickly follow him,” Longevity True Man shouted.

Leading everyone along the trace of the Treasure-seeking Mouse.

……

After eliminating some ants along the way,

Xu Zimei arrived in front of a river.

The river was turbulent and boundless.

Beside the river, there was a stone tablet.

Engraved with the words “Heaven-reaching River.”

“Heaven-reaching River!”

Below that was a line of small characters.

“Those entering Heaven-reaching River, if of my Dao, can directly pierce the heavens.”

“Is this a legacy?” Xu Zimei frowned and pondered.

“The Empress went to challenge heaven, it seems she left something here, could this really be her Legacy Land?”

Xu Zimei was unsure.

For a figure like the Empress, if she failed in the Heaven Challenge, whether or not to leave a legacy hardly mattered.

Because at this level of a powerhouse, they care little for successors.

Throughout history, how many can reach this level?

If not a legacy, then there must be something left by the Empress.

Otherwise, there’d be no reason for the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagram to exist.

Xu Zimei didn’t want to speculate blindly.

He stood before the Heaven-reaching River, carefully searching for any peculiarities.

With Xu Zimei’s insight, he found nothing.

He couldn’t help but frown.

At this moment, Xu Zimei felt presences approaching from both the north and south directions.

These presences were fast and seemed to have a clear target, headed for the Heaven-reaching River.

Xu Zimei came here by feeling the Fragment of the Cangtian.

It seems these people all have their own means.

Soon, these figures appeared around the Heaven-reaching River.

Among them was Longevity True Man from Jiaqing City, chasing a Treasure-seeking Mouse.

There was also the Faceless Saint King of the Faceless Clan, holding a banner.

And that strange Daoist from before, whose abacus clacking echoed “bang bang bang.”

All of these people managed to find this place using their own methods.

It seems that without the Empress, the hidden nature of this world has greatly diminished.

“Heaven-reaching River?”

Longevity True Man muttered the name.

Everyone stood by the river, looking around.

“This river is peculiar!”

“Nonsense, of course, it’s peculiar, otherwise why would everyone gather here?”

Someone from the Faceless Clan retorted.

Longevity True Man did not argue with them, instead looked at the Treasure-seeking Mouse in the pouch on his waist.

The Treasure-seeking Mouse seemed somewhat helpless.

Explaining, “The causality aura vanishes here, I can’t sense anything.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Just then, the Heaven-reaching River underwent a change.

The water rolled with waves and an old turtle emerged from it.

“It’s been so many years, I didn’t expect anyone could actually come here.”

The turtle spoke human words, chuckling lightly.

“A little turtle from the bottom of Heaven-reaching River, greets all of you.”

“Who are you?” everyone was somewhat on guard.

This place was already strange, the sudden appearance of the turtle made it even stranger.
