"At the time, I resisted an overwhelming force of suppression and barely managed to raise my head to look toward the River of Time, but everything remained blurry, and I couldn't make anything out clearly." Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation concealed some details and did not reveal everything that had happened.
After all, the fewer people who knew that Su Li was the Emperor Reincarnation Body, the better.
Hearing this, Su Li felt a jolt in his heart. He looked up at his father, genuine emotion shining in his eyes.
His father had chosen to conceal the truth about him at this critical moment. This deep, weighty love moved him profoundly and made his convictions and resolve even firmer.
"After that, more than a dozen Immortal Kings from the Foreign Realm and Immortal Domain descended upon the edge of the Ancient Realm. Fellow Daoist Wuzhong and I went to stop the Immortal Domain kings, while the Seven Kings of the Imperial Pass and Immortal King Green Lotus went to stop the Foreign Realm's Immortal Kings."
Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation said.
Hearing this, Su Li couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"Why would the Foreign Realm's Immortal Kings and the Immortal Domain's Immortal Kings suddenly descend upon the edge of the Ancient Realm? Was there a reason for it?"
Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation pondered for a moment, seemingly recalling what had happened.
"As far as I know, their arrival seemed to be connected to the River of Time. They appeared to have sensed its mysteries and power, and wanted to investigate and gain control of it."
Su Li furrowed his brow. He had a feeling that this matter was far from simple.
"What happened after that? Did you manage to stop them?"
Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation gently shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"Although the Foreign Realm's iron cavalry was kept at bay, their ambitions were laid bare. They would launch a war within a hundred years, but now it has been brought forward by several decades."
"The Immortal Domain, meanwhile, underwent a great upheaval. Immortal King Aosheng fell into darkness and wrought boundless calamity, before an almighty Quasi-Immortal Emperor finally subdued him."
After hearing Immortal King Six Paths Reincarnation's words, Su Li couldn't help feeling oppressed.
The Foreign Realm's ambitions and the turmoil within the Immortal Domain both made him feel that the Ancient Realm was facing an unprecedented crisis.
"Your Majesty, what about that space-time tunnel you mentioned earlier?" Thunder Emperor asked.
"The space-time tunnel." Immortal King Wuzhong smiled faintly, a mysterious glimmer in his eyes. "It's a mysterious passage connecting different times and spaces. It can let people travel to another time and space in an instant.
"You can cultivate there for tens of thousands of years, while only a hundred years pass in the outside world."
A look of shock and curiosity flashed through Thunder Emperor's eyes.
"Travel to another time and space in an instant? That's incredible!"
"Indeed, the space-time tunnel is truly astonishing." Immortal King Wuzhong continued, "It doesn't merely let us cross through time and space in an instant. More importantly, it provides us with an environment where we can cultivate far faster than ordinary people.
"In that special time and space, time flows entirely differently from the outside, and the results of cultivation improve tremendously."
Thunder Emperor drew a deep breath, struggling to calm his shock and curiosity.
He knew there was a vast gulf between him and the Immortal King, but he still couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, how can someone enter this space-time tunnel? Are there any special conditions or requirements?"
Immortal King Wuzhong glanced at Thunder Emperor, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Thunder Emperor had grasped the crux of the matter so quickly, which showed that he had extraordinary potential in cultivation and understanding.
"Entering the space-time tunnel is indeed no easy matter."
Immortal King Wuzhong spoke slowly. "First, you need sufficient strength and talent. Otherwise, even if you find the entrance to the space-time tunnel, you won't be able to pass through it safely.
"Second, you must master a special law. It can guide you through time and space and keep you from losing your way during the journey."
Immortal King Wuzhong's words were like brilliant pearls, each one precious, revealing the mysteries of all things under heaven.
Every word he spoke brimmed with wisdom and depth, like a lamp illuminating the confusion and uncertainty in people's hearts.
After listening to the Immortal King, Su Li and Thunder Emperor left the towering hall side by side.
They passed through stretches of lush bamboo forest and arrived at the outskirts of the Prodigy Arena.
Inside the arena, the Ancient Realm's young prodigies were engaged in fierce sparring and discussion. Their figures darted through the air, swordlight flashed, and their momentum surged like a rainbow.
Spectators gathered around the arena, their eyes fixed on the battles taking place within.
Cheers and shouts rose and fell, adding to the fervor and excitement of the battles. Amid it all, Su Li and Thunder Emperor stood quietly to one side, their gazes deep and intent.
After parting ways with Thunder Emperor, Su Li wandered freely around the island, enjoying himself without a care.
Sunlight dappled the island, and the breeze carried the saltiness of the sea and the fragrance of flowers and grass, filling Su Li with peace and delight.
He walked along a winding path and passed through a lush forest.
The leaves swayed in the breeze with a rustling sound, as if telling of the grand spectacle of the gathering.
Now and then, several birds flew out of the forest, singing cheerfully and bringing a touch of life to the tranquil island.
Su Li passed through the forest and came to an open meadow.
Sunlight spilled over the grass, turning it into a golden sea. A few wildflowers were scattered across the meadow, their colorful petals like jewels scattered across this verdant world.
Taking in the island's wonders as he went, Su Li continued onward and reached a clear stream.
The stream burbled along, its sound pleasant to the ear.
Su Li bent down and scooped up a handful of cool stream water, feeling it slip across his fingertips. The water reflected the blue sky and white clouds, like a beautiful painting.
At last, Su Li arrived at Qingyue's thatched cottage.
Though simple, the cottage gave off a warm and peaceful feeling.
The garden in front of it was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, blooming beneath the sun and sending out waves of fragrance. The scent of flowers mingled with the breeze, intoxicating him.
Su Li stood before the thatched cottage, gazing at this peaceful and beautiful world.
He felt his spirit soothed and cleansed to its depths, as if he had become one with the island. Here, he found peace in his heart, along with the strength and courage to keep moving forward.
He gently knocked on the cottage door, looking forward to seeing Qingyue again.
A breeze gently pushed the door open with a faint creak, as if announcing the beginning of something wonderful.
Qingyue's smiling face was like the rising sun, warm and radiant. Bright light glimmered in her eyes, dazzling as the stars.
Her smile was like a flower in bloom, beautiful and captivating. The slight upward curve of her lips revealed an indescribable joy and contentment.
Her eyes were full of warmth, as if her gentleness could melt the whole world.
They smiled at each other, their smiles full of understanding and joy, as though every word had melted into the beauty of that moment.
Their eyes met, and an invisible force seemed to pass between them. Their hearts were in harmony, their feelings intertwined.
