Chapter 131 The River Finally Crossed, A New Chapter in Youzhou
After that thrilling battle with Ao Qianshu, Qian Shuihe seemed to be shrouded in an invisible force of intimidation.
Zhang Yifan's immense strength was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, the ripples of which plunged the entire Thousand Water River aquatic tribe into deep shock and awe.
The aquatic tribes witnessed their young master, Ao Qianshu, who possessed the bloodline of a divine dragon, had unparalleled talent, and was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, nearly lose to Zhang Yifan. This caused the fear of Zhang Yifan in the hearts of the other aquatic tribes members to grow wildly like weeds.
From then on, no one from the aquatic tribes of the Thousand Water River dared to cause trouble for Zhang Yifan. They silently suppressed their hostility and let Zhang Yifan continue his journey on the Thousand Water River.
Standing on the willow-leaf boat that had survived the ravages of war yet still stubbornly floated on the water, Zhang Yifan gazed at the shimmering river before him, his heart filled with countless emotions.
Over the past two weeks, he has faced one life-or-death test after another in the Thousand Rivers, engaging in fierce battles with numerous powerful aquatic creatures.
Every battle was a tremendous test of his strength and will; every perilous situation gave him a deeper understanding of the path of cultivation.
Now, he is finally about to cross the Thousand River, a river fraught with danger and challenges, and embark on a new journey—to the territory of Youzhou.
During the two-week voyage, Zhang Yifan did not let his guard down despite the temporary calm.
He knew that although the aquatic tribes of the Thousand Rivers were temporarily intimidated by his power, it did not mean that they would not be plotting something in secret.
Therefore, while urging the willow-leaf boat forward slowly, he remained vigilant at all times, using his powerful divine sense to closely monitor the surrounding movements.
His divine sense was like an invisible net, covering an area of several miles around Liu Yezhou, and no slight fluctuation of spiritual energy could escape his perception.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yifan did not neglect his cultivation. He used this rare free time to calm his mind and focus on his cultivation on the willow-leaf boat. He circulated the spiritual energy within his body, guiding the nine nascent souls to circulate through his meridians along specific routes.
Each nascent soul is like a bright star, radiating a soft light. The spiritual power they contain flows slowly through the meridians, like trickles of water converging into rivers, lakes, and seas.
As the spiritual energy continued to circulate, Zhang Yifan could feel his meridians gradually widening, becoming more resilient and powerful, and able to accommodate and withstand more spiritual energy impacts.
His spiritual power gradually became more powerful and refined through daily cultivation, as if an ordinary iron sword was being forged into an incomparably sharp sword.
In addition to cultivating spiritual power, Zhang Yifan also conducted in-depth reflection and summarization on the spells and martial arts techniques he used in battle.
He recalled how he cleverly used teleportation magic to avoid the Lobster General's fatal blow during their battle, and how he seized the opportunity to unleash a fierce sword technique that dealt a heavy blow to the general.
In his duel with the Catfish General, how did he discover his opponent's weakness through observation, and then use a spell-breaking technique to break the opponent's suction vortex, ultimately succeeding in killing his opponent?
He carefully reviewed these combat experiences, analyzing their gains and losses, and learning from them so that he could use these spells and martial arts techniques more effectively in future battles.
In his spare time, Zhang Yifan would occasionally admire the scenery along the banks of the Qianshui River.
The scenery along the banks of the Qianshui River is absolutely stunning, unlike anything he had ever seen before.
The riverbanks are covered with lush aquatic plants. These plants are verdant and their leaves are long and soft. They sway gently in the river, like a group of graceful dancers dancing.
Occasionally, you can see some brightly colored little fish swimming among the aquatic plants. Their scales shimmer brilliantly in the sunlight, like they are inlaid with countless gems.
In the distance, the mountains stretch endlessly, covered with lush green trees, where various rare and precious trees grow verdantly.
Some trees are tall and straight, reaching into the sky, like giant flagpoles erected by nature for this land; others have crooked branches and different shapes, like old men who have experienced vicissitudes, quietly guarding this land.
The mountains are filled with the clear chirping of birds, which rise and fall, weaving together a beautiful natural symphony that soothes the soul.
As time went by, Zhang Yifan got closer and closer to the other side of the Qianshui River.
He could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations beginning to change, and the air was filled with an aura completely different from that of Qian Shuihe.
This aura is even richer and more profound, as if it contains endless vitality and energy.
He knew that this was a unique spiritual energy aura from Youzhou, which meant that he was about to step into this mysterious and vast land.
Finally, on a bright and sunny morning, Zhang Yifan steered the willow-leaf boat slowly across the last stretch of the Thousand Water River and successfully arrived in Youzhou.
When his feet touched the soil of Youzhou, a completely new feeling welled up in his heart.
He could almost sense a powerful and ancient force hidden beneath this land, a force that silently nourished all living things on it.
The sky over Youzhou was exceptionally blue, like a clear and transparent sapphire. Snow-white clouds drifted leisurely in the sky, like a flock of free sheep roaming on the grassland.
The sunlight shone on the earth, bathing everything in a golden glow, making people feel exceptionally warm.
Looking around, Zhang Yifan saw a vast plain before him, covered in lush green grass and blooming wildflowers of all kinds.
Red like fire, pink like the sunset, white like snow, they sway gently in the breeze, releasing a captivating fragrance that attracts countless butterflies and bees to flit busily among the flowers.
In the distance, the outlines of some villages can be faintly seen, with wisps of smoke rising slowly from them, adding a touch of human warmth to this peaceful land.
Zhang Yifan took a deep breath, feeling the atmosphere of Youzhou, his heart filled with anticipation for the future.
He knew that more opportunities and challenges awaited him on this land.
He will continue to explore the path of cultivation on this land, pursuing higher realms and unraveling more mysteries about the world of cultivation.
He straightened his clothes, gripped his sword tightly, and then strode resolutely into the depths of Youzhou. His shadow stretched long in the sunlight, like a solitary traveler embarking on a grand, unknown journey.
As he traveled, Zhang Yifan began to think about how to take his first step in Youzhou.
He realized that he was new to the area and knew almost nothing about the situation in Youzhou.
Therefore, he needed to find a place to obtain information as soon as possible and learn about clues about the Seven Treasures Rejuvenating Pill.
He decided to go to the nearest village first to see if he could get some useful clues from the villagers.
When he arrived at the village, he found that although it was not large, it was full of life and vitality.
The villagers all cast curious glances at Zhang Yifan, this unfamiliar visitor.
Zhang Yifan greeted the villagers with a smile and explained his purpose for visiting.
The villagers warmly welcomed him, and an elderly man told Zhang Yifan that not far from the village, there was a mountain range called Lingxu Mountain. Legend has it that there was an ancient cultivation sect's ruins on the mountain, which might contain many precious cultivation books and magical treasures.
However, this mountain range is also extremely dangerous, teeming with powerful demonic beasts. Many adventurers have attempted to explore it, but none have returned. Zhang Yifan's heart stirred after hearing the old man's words.
He felt this was a good opportunity; if he could find some precious treasures in the ruins of that immortal cultivation sect, it would greatly help his cultivation.
So, after asking the villagers for directions to Lingxu Mountain, he set off in that direction without hesitation.
He knew that dangers might lie ahead, but he was not afraid, because he firmly believed that only through constant challenges could he grow and get closer to the pinnacle of cultivation.
On his way to Lingxu Mountain, Zhang Yifan encountered some scattered demonic beasts. Most of these beasts were weak and were like ants in front of Zhang Yifan, easily killed by him.
He collected the inner cores of these demonic beasts; these cores contained abundant spiritual energy, making them excellent materials for cultivation. As he ventured deeper, the surrounding environment became increasingly harsh.
The road was rugged and uneven, covered with thorns and rocks, and one could easily slip and fall and get injured.
The trees in the forest became increasingly dense, and sunlight could hardly penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, making the entire forest appear particularly gloomy and terrifying.
But Zhang Yifan remained steadfast as he marched toward Lingxu Mountain. His eyes revealed a tenacity and determination, as if no difficulty could stop him from moving forward.
Finally, after several days and nights of trekking, he could see the outline of Lingxu Mountain in the distance. Lingxu Mountain soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.
Looking at Lingxu Mountain before him, Zhang Yifan was filled with anticipation and excitement. He knew that he was about to embark on a brand new adventure on this mountain, and the outcome of this journey would have a profound impact on his development in Youzhou.
