The White Streak in the Waves of the Void River

In the Void, a dazzling river formed of energy flows slowly. This Great River is incredibly wide, flowing through many worlds, its beginning and end unknown.

This river appears calm, but inside it is a turbulent and unpredictable dangerous current. In this Void, only Immortals from the Fivefold Immortal Realm can "sail" on the Void River in boats, using the flow of energy to quickly travel between different worlds.

But today, a White Shadow rode Flying Sword, traversing the Void with his physical body, and arrived beside this dazzling river.

"The Void River..."

Bai Qiuran stood by the river, peering out curiously.

Is there really Vortex inside?

He flew along the Void River for a while. Immortal Realm ships were passing by on the river, and some of the Immortals on those ships saw him and hurriedly called out, "Fellow Daoist over there, come down quickly! Void Storm is blowing across the river; it's very dangerous!"

Bai Qiuran waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about.

He flew downstream on his sword towards the direction of the Consciousness Barrier. After flying for a short while, he indeed saw a huge Vortex on the river.

The energy within the Vortex was incredibly violent, creating extremely powerful turbulence. Even passing Immortal Realm ships had to detour far away to avoid the Vortex.

Bai Qiuran arrived above the Vortex, and Immortals on passing ships also saw him.

"Look! What is that person doing? Suicide?"

Someone shouted.

"To cultivate to such a level, he must have been incredibly foolish."

Some people shouted and tried to sail their boat over to see if they could stop him.

But Bai Qiuran didn't give them time to react. Seeing the Vortex, he took a deep breath and jumped into the Clear Autumn Waters.

He fell into the Vortex and was swept into Vortex depths without making a ripple. Just when everyone thought he was dead beyond recognition, Bai Qiuran suddenly popped his head out from the center of the Vortex.

"Holy crap? That's incredible! Awesome!"

It is human nature to watch. Seeing this scene, many ships stopped, and the Immortals on board used various methods to watch this strange creature, who was swimming in the Void River.

Bai Qiuran, who was at the center of the Vortex, began to carefully feel the pressure brought to him by the chaotic Vortex in the Void River.

The oppressive force of this turbulent current is indeed incredibly strong, even slightly stronger than the Heavenly Dao back in the Divine Age. No wonder even top-tier Immortal Emperor who fell into this place faced a near-death experience.

The only drawback is that the pressure at the center of this Vortex is not regular enough, and the power of the Void Storm is chaotic, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. Its effect on the condensation of True Qi in his body is not as good as the time-wave health care performed by the Heavenly Dao itself.

However, it was indeed much faster to condense his true essence in this Vortex than Bai Qiuran do on his own. He turned around and plunged into the center of the Void Vortex, where he opened his whole body and deliberately used his most vulnerable Purple Mansion to contact the turbulent currents, letting them help him compress his True Essence.

As time went by, the proportion of True Essence in Bai Qiuran's body increased from more than 10% but less than 20% to 20%.

Unfortunately, this was Vortex after all, not a phenomenon that could exist indefinitely. Bai Qiuran stayed in it for a short time before the Vortex disappeared, just enough to raise the proportion of True Essence in his body to 20%, no more and no less.

Accompanied by the Void current, Bai Qiuran rose back to the surface of the Void River. Upon seeing this, the surrounding Immortals exclaimed in astonishment that this peerless powerhouse was invincible.

Bai Qiuran dismissed them, thought for a moment, and decided to stay in the Void River and swim forward. Although the violent energy flow in the river had no effect on him anymore and he could only look for Vortex, the river was still very fast, not much slower than his Sword Flight. Moreover, it was easier to get caught in the Vortex hidden beneath the surface of the river.

So he swam downstream along the River Void River.

Downstream of the Void River, at the edge of the Consciousness Barrier, a group of the Immortal Army from the Central Immortal Realm are sealing off the area, prohibiting ships from passing.

Further away, a group of Immortals at the Vast Sea Realm were joining forces to unleash their Spiritual Sense in an attempt to seal off a bubble-like world.

Within this world, in a dimension unobservable from the inside, a vibrant, multicolored realm has silently enveloped the entire world—that is the Consciousness Domain.

During the process of the Immortal Ancestor rescuing the First Immortal Emperor, he briefly clashed with the Consciousness Demon Army on the other side of the barrier. Although he annihilated the Consciousness Demon, a portion of their Consciousness Domain leaked out and eroded this world.

Now, these Immortals are ordered to seal it off, evacuate the inhabitants, and work together to annihilate it.

However, just as the Immortals completely sealed off this world with their Spiritual Sense, a voice suddenly came from the Void River, which had originally been guarded.

"Hold your positions!"

The Immortals were taken aback and quickly became on guard. Anyone who could cross the barriers of the Central Immortal Realm to enter this place must be of extraordinary strength.

They unleashed their Spiritual Sense, searching the vicinity, but found nothing of note in the surrounding Void.

Just as the Immortals were filled with doubt and surprise, a head suddenly emerged from the surface of the Void River. Then, a man dressed in Black Robe and wearing Bronze Mask rose from the Void River and flew towards the Immortals.

Upon seeing this person, the Immortals quickly bowed, and the leading Immortals asked, "Your Ghost Emperor, why have you come here? Why did you order this to stop?"

"Don't rush to make a move."

Bai Qiuran glanced at the world that had been eroded by the Consciousness Domain. These Immortals hadn't had time to enter it or remove the creatures from it.

"I have a use for this world, give it to me."

"This..."

The Immortals exchanged glances, their attitude quite resolute.

We must obtain His Majesty the First Immortal Emperor's approval.

"You have a way to contact the Central Immortal Realm, right?"

Bai Qiuran held out her hand and said, "Give it to me, I'll contact the First Immortal Emperor directly."

The Immortals looked at each other in bewilderment, but in the end, the leading Immortals handed Bai Qiuran a purple oval Spirit Crystal.

A Runes floated inside the Spirit Crystal, flashing light intermittently. Shortly after, Bai Li's voice came from within the Spirit Crystal.

"What's going on? Is there something you need to report?"

"It's me."

Bai Qiuran spoke to the Spirit Crystal, then took Spirit Crystal and walked to the other side, a little further away.

The Immortals listened to him muttering something over there, then returned and handed the Spirit Crystal to the leading Immortals.

"Let's entrust this world to His Ghost Emperor."

The voice of the First Immortal Emperor came from inside the Spirit Crystal.

"Leave this to him. You can come back, but don't remove the checkpoint. Continue to block the air route here and prevent unrelated personnel from getting close."

The Immortals agreed, and they were quite efficient. They packed their things, boarded the Cloud Soaring Flying Boat, and bid farewell to Bai Qiuran.

After seeing them off, Bai Qiuran immediately returned here. He came to the world and looked into the inner world through the World Barrier.

Within the vibrant, multicolored Consciousness Domain, strange objects churn and shift, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.
