After obtaining enough intelligence, Tang Yu set his sights on the Heavenly River Sect.
The Heavenly River Sect and the Zhang Family had a rather tense relationship, having clashed several centuries ago.
Because of that, the previous sect master of the Heavenly River Sect had fallen from the Fusion Realm back to the Deity Transformation Realm, with no possibility of ever breaking through again.
In less than a century, unable to cultivate, he had been forced to undergo dissolution and reincarnation—and even that had failed—dealing a severe blow to the Heavenly River Sect.
After all, the rise of any major power depended on its strongest great cultivators, not on how many Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivators it possessed.
According to the intelligence sent by Amber, several ancestors of the Heavenly River Sect had joined forces to retrieve an incomparably precious Xinghe water vein from an ancient secret realm and concealed it within the sect.
This item came from beyond the heavens. Only after countless stars had shattered and fallen in ancient times, sinking into the earth and merging with underground water veins, could such a thing be formed.
The Heavenly River Sect had originally been built above the clouds, and the Great Dao it pursued was the heavenly river of stars.
Its cultivation techniques relied on absorbing the power of the stars.
Back then, when the founding ancestor of the Heavenly River Sect fought someone, one of his Dharma Idols had dragged a star down from the sky and crushed his opponent to death.
After that battle, an enormous Star Lake had been left in the north, displaying the unparalleled strength of the Heavenly River Sect's ancestor in those days.
"That Xinghe water vein won't be easy to steal. The Heavenly River Sect has a Supreme Elder guarding it."
