Foreign Ambitions, Clearly Revealed

"At the time, I was resisting an infinitely powerful suppression, barely managing to lift my head to look at the River of Time, yet it remained blurred and indistinct." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation held back, not revealing everything that had occurred back then.

After all, the fewer people who knew that Su Li was the reincarnation of an Emperor, the better.

Hearing this, Su Li felt a jolt in his heart; he looked up at his father, his eyes revealing sincere emotion.

That his father had chosen to conceal the truth about him at such a critical moment—this heavy weight of paternal love moved him deeply and further solidified his conviction and resolve.

"Later, at the edge of the Ancient Realm, over a dozen Immortal Kings from the Foreign Realm and the Immortal Domain descended. Fellow Daoist Wuzhong and I went to intercept the kings of the Immortal Domain, while the Seven Kings of the Imperial Pass and Immortal King Green Lotus went to intercept the Immortal Kings of the Foreign Realm."

Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation said.

Hearing this, Su Li could not help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Why would the Immortal Kings of the Foreign Realm and the Immortal Domain suddenly descend upon the edge of the Ancient Realm? Was there some underlying reason for this?"

Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation pondered for a moment, seemingly recalling the scene from back then.

"As far as I know, the descent of the Foreign Realm Immortal Kings and the Immortal Domain Immortal Kings seemed related to that River of Time. They appeared to have sensed its mysteries and power, and wished to explore and control it."

Su Li frowned; he sensed that this matter was not simple.

"And then? Did you succeed in stopping them?"

Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation shook his head gently, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Although the iron cavalry of the Foreign Realm was blocked outside, their ambition was clearly displayed; they were set to launch a war within a century, and now, it has even been moved up by several decades."

"As for the Immortal Domain, a catastrophe occurred. Immortal King Aosheng fell into darkness and wrought boundless calamity, only to be subdued in the end by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

After listening to Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation, Su Li could not help but feel a sense of oppression in his heart.

The ambition of the Foreign Realm's iron cavalry and the internal turmoil of the Immortal Domain both made him feel that the Ancient Realm was facing an unprecedented crisis.

"Immortal King, what about the space-time tunnel you mentioned earlier?" Thunder Emperor asked.

"Ah, the space-time tunnel." Immortal King Wuzhong smiled slightly, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes. "It is a mysterious passage connecting different space-times, allowing one to instantly travel to another era."

"Furthermore, one can cultivate in that space-time for ten thousand years, while only a century passes in the outside world."

Upon hearing this, a trace of shock and curiosity flashed in Thunder Emperor's eyes.

"Instantly travel to another space-time? That is simply incredible!"

"Indeed, the space-time tunnel is truly an astonishing existence." Immortal King Wuzhong continued, "It does not merely allow us to traverse space-time instantly; more importantly, it provides an environment where the speed of cultivation far exceeds that of ordinary conditions."

"In that special space-time, the passage of time is completely different from the outside, and the effects of cultivation are significantly enhanced."

Thunder Emperor took a deep breath, struggling to calm the shock and curiosity in his heart.

He knew well the gap between himself and the Immortal Kings, yet he could not help but ask: "Immortal King, how can one enter this space-time tunnel? Are there any special conditions or requirements?"

Immortal King Wuzhong glanced at Thunder Emperor, a trace of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

He knew that the fact Thunder Emperor could grasp the crux of the matter so quickly indicated that he possessed extraordinary potential in cultivation and comprehension.

"Entering the space-time tunnel is indeed no easy task."

Immortal King Wuzhong said slowly, "First, you must possess sufficient strength and talent; otherwise, even if you find the entrance to the space-time tunnel, you will be unable to pass through successfully."

"Secondly, you must master a special law—a law that can guide you through space-time and prevent you from losing your way during the transit."

The words of Immortal King Wuzhong were like brilliant pearls, each one precious and revealing the mysteries of all things in the world.

Every sentence he spoke was filled with wisdom and depth, acting like a beacon that illuminated the confusion and bewilderment in people's hearts.

Following the Immortal King's words, Su Li and Thunder Emperor left the towering palace side by side.

They passed through groves of lush bamboo and arrived at the outskirts of the Prodigy Arena.

Inside the arena, the prodigies of the Ancient Realm were engaged in intense sparring; their figures darted through the air, sword light flickered, and their momentum was as grand as a rainbow.

Around the arena, spectators gathered, watching the battle in the center with unblinking eyes.

Their cheers and roars rose and fell, adding a sense of heat and passion to the combat within, while amidst all this, Su Li and Thunder Emperor stood quietly to the side, their gazes deep and focused.

After parting ways with Thunder Emperor, Su Li wandered the island alone, feeling quite carefree.

Sunlight dappled the island, and the breeze carried the saltiness of the sea and the fragrance of flowers and grass, making Su Li feel refreshed and relaxed.

He walked along a winding path, passing through a lush forest.

The leaves swayed in the breeze, emitting a rustling sound as if telling tales of the grand event.

Occasionally, a few birds flew out from the woods, singing joyfully, adding a touch of vitality to this tranquil island.

Su Li passed through the forest and arrived at an open meadow.

The sunlight spilled onto the grass, forming a golden ocean, and a few wildflowers were scattered about, colorful and bright, like gems adorning this verdant world.

While experiencing the wonders of the island, Su Li continued forward until he reached a clear, small stream.

The water flowed with a gurgling sound, producing a pleasant melody.

Su Li bent down, cupped a handful of cool stream water in his hands, and felt the sensation of the current sliding through his fingertips; the stream reflected the azure of the sky and the whiteness of the clouds, like a beautiful painting.

Finally, Su Li arrived in front of Qingyue's thatched cottage.

Although the cottage was simple, it gave off a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

The garden in front of the cottage was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, blooming in competition under the sunlight and releasing waves of fragrance that intertwined with the breeze, intoxicating to the senses.

Su Li stood before the thatched cottage, gazing at this peaceful and beautiful world.

He felt his soul deeply soothed and purified, as if he had merged into one with this island; here, he had found inner peace and tranquility, as well as the strength and courage to move forward.

He knocked gently on the door of the cottage, looking forward to seeing Qingyue once again.

The door was nudged open by a light breeze, emitting a faint creak as if announcing the beginning of something wonderful.

Qingyue's smiling face was like the rising sun, warm and dazzling, and her eyes sparkled with a bright light, as brilliant as the stars.

Her smile was like a blooming flower, beautiful and moving, and the slight upturn of her lips revealed an indescribable joy and contentment.

Her eyes were filled with warmth, as if she could melt the entire world within her tenderness.

The two looked at each other and smiled, their expressions full of tacit understanding and joy, as if all words had dissolved into the beauty of this moment.

Their gazes met, and it was as if an invisible force were being transmitted—it was the communion of souls, the blending of emotions.
