The Waters of the Luo River

Now that someone has fallen into Cang Lan, it means that hundreds of years ago, someone from the Luo River went in and came out alive!

This is incredibly exciting news for the vast majority of practitioners.

Even Ma Feifei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Cang Lan not only had a connection with the Luo River, but had also fallen into the Luo River and successfully walked out of the Luo River.

"Truly a child blessed by heaven." Ma Feifei couldn't help but exclaim. Ma Feifei felt that Cang Lan's experience could be written into a novel; it was a classic protagonist's growth trope!

"Hmm?" Ma Feifei suddenly frowned, his gaze fixed on the Tribulation Book World.

Suddenly, the once calm Luo River began to 'stir'. The stagnant water moved on its own without any wind, forming waves that converged towards one point, gradually forming a circular ripple.

Ma Feifei noticed that the center of the ripples was exactly the same point where the green light had fallen in earlier, meaning that Cang Lan, who had fallen into the Luo River, seemed to be encountering her opportunity.

For some reason, Ma Feifei felt a little nervous.

Is this the sixth tribulation?

"If he passes this test, does it mean that Cang Lan has successfully survived the Six Stages of Life and Death and can enter the Immortal Realm?"

Various thoughts flashed through Ma Feifei's mind, and even his grip on Liuli's hand tightened slightly.

Unlike the onlookers, Ma Feifei knew the immense surprise that Cang Lan would receive after surviving the Six Stages of Life and Death. It would truly shock the entire Azure Dragon Continent and be recorded in the annals of Azure Dragon.

It could even further enhance the reputation of the Mysterious Bookstore the Azure Dragon Continent, making its prestige unmatched by anyone, not even the Vast Academy.

After all, the Mysterious Bookstore is a Bookstore that can transport you to the Immortal Realm.

But just as Ma Feifei and the general public were anticipating the next outburst from the Luo River, the river surface, which had been continuously forming circular ripples, suddenly returned to calm and became a stagnant pool.

"What's going on?" The group of cultivators below looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Ma Feifei was also puzzled, unsure of the reason behind it. However, there was no use in worrying about such things, so everyone could only calm down and keep an eye on the Tribulation Book World.

Time passed second by second. The sun had long since disappeared from the sky, and it was impossible to tell what time it was. However, judging from the increasingly dark sky, it was clear that evening had arrived.

The Tribulation Book World remained completely still, the perspective lingering on the surface of the Luo River, on that clear yet bottomless Luo River.

Occasionally, birds fly over the Luo River, but as soon as they enter the Luo River area, they automatically fall in, emitting mournful Growl, and finally plunge into the Luo River with a 'plop'.

The Luo River, one of the nine major historical sites, appears so ordinary, yet it is also so terrifying, so terrifying that it makes people resist this river from the depths of their hearts.

"How much longer do we have to wait?!" Zhang Caicai, being the youngest, was the first to lose patience, leaning on the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey's shoulder and muttering.

"I'm a little hungry," the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey said in a muffled voice, rubbing its belly.

"That's right!" Zhang Caicai sat up straight, turned to Ma Feifei and said, "Shopkeeper, it should be almost lunchtime. Should I go downstairs to cook?"

He didn't want to stay here like a wooden doll, staring at that boring Tribulation Book World. He preferred cooking.

"Okay, go ahead." Ma Feifei didn't even turn his head, his eyes fixed intently on the Tribulation Book World, and waved his hand.

"Alright!" With Ma Feifei's permission, Zhang Caicai rolled over, glanced at Liuli next to Ma Feifei, and said obsequiously, "Miss, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Liuli tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "The secret-recipe sparrow meat you made last time was quite delicious."

"No problem, Caicai will make it for you right away!" Zhang Caicai agreed and jumped down immediately. As for the others...

Ignore everything.

Ma Feifei sighed. He was completely helpless with this eleven-year-old brat. He had tried hitting him and scolding him, but the boy just wouldn't change his ways and would do whatever he wanted.

Ma Feifei couldn't really drive Zhang Caicai away or kill Zhang Caicai over this, since Zhang Caicai hadn't done anything wrong; she just liked to cling to Liuli.

"But speaking of which, Zhang Caicai is quite something..." Ma Feifei suddenly remembered that a few days ago Zhang Caicai had prepared a grand feast for them, using a ninth-tier spirit beast, the Skylark, as the main ingredient!

Ninth-tier spirit beasts are already at the top of the food chain in the Azure Dragon Continent. Ordinary Spirit Saint would find it impossible to kill or subdue them. However, Zhang Caicai, a child who appears to have no cultivation, was able to hunt down a ninth-tier spirit beast on her own. Ma Feifei would never believe that there was nothing wrong with that.

Just a few days ago, Ma Feifei was busy researching the launch of "Investiture of the Gods," so he didn't have time to figure out Zhang Caicai's background. Now that he's thought about it again, Ma Feifei feels it's necessary to investigate Zhang Caicai's background.

"I'll take a look at the Tianshu Fragment tomorrow," Ma Feifei thought to himself.

"Buzz~!"

At this moment, the Tribulation Book World trembled again, Ma Feifei immediately focused his attention, staring intently at the Tribulation Book World.

The moment that will decide the fate of Cang Lan has arrived!

The cultivators watching from all over Dubian Town seemed to realize this, their faces solemn and silent, their eyes fixed on the Tribulation Book World.

"Whoosh!"

The Luo River splashed everywhere.

A figure emerged from the riverbed, and slowly, it floated in the air, three feet above the Luo River.

Cang Lan!

Everyone stared intently at Cang Lan, their eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. This Grand Dean had indeed survived the ordeal of the Luo River, one of the nine great ruins!

"Boom!"

The calm Luo River suddenly burst forth with nine water droplets, which poured directly into the Cang Lan floating on its surface.

"Bang!"

Nine jets of water slammed into it, creating a loud noise.

The water jet struck Cang Lan's body but had no effect on her. On the contrary, it seemed to be absorbed by Cang Lan and eventually entered her body.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

A moment later, the water column disappeared, and Cang Lan was still floating on the river. However, everyone noticed a problem: Cang Lan was now more than an inch higher than the surface of the Luo River!

"She actually absorbed the water of the Luo River!" A cultivator exclaimed in shock!

Anyone who drinks the water of the Luo River by mistake will age and die within a quarter of an hour, regardless of their cultivation level. Even a great figure at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Spirit Saint will be affected. This is a conclusion reached by countless predecessors of the Azure Dragon over the past 30,000 years, and no one can avoid it.

It's unbelievable that Cang Lan has absorbed more than an inch of the Luo River water!
