## Chapter 275: Episode 7 – Arrival at the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm

As they flew into the dark abyss, Luo Feng felt a formless wave sweep over him, which he, with his early-stage God Emperor body, easily withstood. Luo Feng also observed that Di Ming’s expression remained calm, while Di Fu frowned slightly, seemingly struggling.

“Hoo.”

A single drop of water enveloped Luo Feng, Di Qing, Di Fu, and Di Ming, instantly whisking them away from the Origin Continent, this source world.

This drop of water was now traversing the primal chaos space at incredible speed.

Luo Feng had once used his Eye of Destruction and Creation to observe outside the source world, but this drop of water carrying them left the Origin Continent far behind in the blink of an eye.

“My home, the Origin Continent.” Luo Feng watched as the massive source world rapidly shrank, eventually disappearing from view.

He knew he had left his home.

When he first arrived on the Origin Continent, he had considered the Primal Universe to be his home!

But now, outside the source world, the Origin Continent, a complete source world, was truly his home. Leaving the avatar there meant losing the protection of the highest rules.

“So fast.” Luo Feng and the others gazed ahead.

In the distance, a massive source world rapidly approached. But with a flash, the drop of water bypassed it.

*Swish! Swish! Swish!*

Ten, twenty, fifty…

One after another, enormous source worlds similar to the Origin Continent vanished within a second in Luo Feng’s vision, demonstrating the sheer speed of the water droplet.

“Is that a natural primal chaos lifeform?” Di Fu couldn’t help but ask.

Luo Feng also saw it: a serpentine black serpent swimming in the primal chaos space. The black serpent seemed to be flying leisurely, yet its body was far longer than the entire Origin Continent.

The Origin Continent, along with the surrounding universe seas, constituted a complete source world.

But this serpent’s body was approximately one-third the length of an entire source world.

“Hmm?” The serpentine serpent glanced at the fleeting water droplet. It was too fast, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

“To travel so quickly within the primal chaos space… Is it a source world master skilled in escape? Or perhaps a teleportation technique of those few primal chaos overlords?” The serpentine serpent speculated.

This vast territory was within the cultivator’s camp.

In the primal chaos space, only those two possibilities allowed for such rapid movement.

“It seems my movements have been exposed. I’ll return to hunt another time.” The serpentine serpent leisurely swam, vanishing without a trace.

A mere few breaths later.

A phantom descended upon a region of spacetime, coalescing into a black-robed youth.

The black-robed youth stood there, and the vast spacetime around him yielded in submission. Every trace within that spacetime, everything experienced in the past, was laid bare before his gaze.

“It’s the whelp of a world-level primal chaos lifeform.” The black-robed youth’s eyes were icy cold, filled with murderous intent.

“The Infinite Serpent clan is the most troublesome among the natural primal chaos lifeform clans. They can appear anywhere within the infinite primal chaos space at any time and vanish just as easily,” the black-robed youth muttered. “The Infinite Serpent clan is incredibly bold, daring to venture deep into the heart of my cultivator camp’s territory. I must find an opportunity to crush a few of their whelps!”

*Hoo.*

He then vanished without a trace.

…

“Judging by its size, that should have been a world-level primal chaos lifeform.” Within the water droplet, traversing the infinite primal chaos space at incredible speed, Di Qing said, “Fortunately, we have the protection of the teleportation droplet, and all pollution is isolated. Otherwise, directly gazing upon a living world-level primal chaos lifeform would have instantly killed you, Di Fu.”

Among the four, Di Fu possessed the weakest mind and will, still at the God-King Ultimate realm.

Luo Feng and Di Ming were curious. Through the water droplet, they had only seen a blurry serpentine figure flash by, without feeling any sense of danger.

“Teleporting through the infinite primal chaos space, one occasionally sees natural primal chaos lifeforms. However, seeing one so powerful is rare,” Di Qing, with his wealth of experience, said. “We’re about to arrive at the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.”

After bypassing 125 source worlds, the water droplet finally reached its destination.

“The Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.” Luo Feng, Di Ming, and Di Fu all closely observed their destination.

It was a massive, elliptical world, slightly smaller than the Origin Continent source world in scale.

From the infinite primal chaos space, nine serpentine rivers could be seen缠绕twining around the world. These nine rivers resembled nine chains, each with countless mystic patterns flowing through them, forming a vast array that completely sealed the entire world.

*Hoo.*

Carrying Luo Feng and the other three, the water droplet flew into the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.

******

At the center of the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm stood a majestic sacred mountain.

At the foot of the sacred mountain was a dark abyss, where the drop of water landed. Di Qing, Luo Feng, Di Ming, and Di Fu emerged from within.

“Hmm?” At a glance, Luo Feng saw over two hundred figures gathered at the foot of the mountain. Some were grouped in twos and threes, while others were alone, all patiently waiting.

“They must be from different cultivation systems,” Luo Feng sensed the vast differences in their auras.

A burly man with a large bow strapped to his back sat silently.

A robed old man with glasses looked over with curiosity.

A giant seemingly cast from stone sat as if in slumber.

A translucent creature hid within the crevices of the rocks, cautiously observing Luo Feng and the others.

A woman with a body composed of flames seemed to meld with the void.

“Ah, my body.” Di Fu’s expression changed drastically, his face beginning to peel and energy dissipating. Di Qing, Luo Feng, and Di Ming all turned to look at Di Fu.

“My body is collapsing,” Di Fu said anxiously.

“Don’t panic,” Di Qing said from the side. “Every complete great path transcends all source worlds. However, this ‘Nine Rivers Sacred Realm’ is not a source world, but a special cultivation world created by Senior Yuan and the others. The core ‘Spatial Origin Great Path’ that constitutes your physical body is partially incompatible with the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, causing your body to be unstable. You simply need to discard the incompatible parts and reconstruct your physical system. Your strength might decrease slightly, but at least you won’t collapse.”

Di Qing, experienced as he was, offered his advice.

Di Fu nodded, and could only begin to reconstruct his body.

Enlightened cultivators were like that; they constructed their entire physical body from the most basic elements, and could naturally modify it as well.

“Brother Luo He.” Di Qing looked at Luo Feng in surprise. “Di Ming cultivates primal chaos blood, and a primal chaos blood body is inherently compatible with the ‘primal chaos space,’ so it naturally adapts to many worlds. But Luo He… you shouldn’t be cultivating primal chaos blood, right?”

Luo Feng smiled.

His various avatars were completely transformed primal chaos blood creatures, so adapting to the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm was easy.

“I don’t cultivate primal chaos blood, but coming to the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm doesn’t affect my strength at all,” Luo Feng said.

Di Qing was curious, but didn’t press further.

“A physical body purely constructed from the mysteries of the great path will actually collapse upon arriving in a new world.” Luo Feng watched Di Fu, and Di Qing said, “For enlightened cultivators, going to different worlds and adapting to different worlds is also a form of cultivation.”

Luo Feng was thoughtful.

Suddenly—

The sacred mountain behind them rumbled, emitting a voice: “New cultivators, a flying boat arrives every era, and will send you to one of the cities in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.”

Luo Feng and Di Ming turned to look at the majestic sacred mountain before them. A mountain path led to its peak.

“The sacred mountain spoke,” Di Qing said. “The sacred mountain protects two transmission channels.”

“Two transmission channels?” Luo Feng asked in confusion.

“The transmission channel at the foot of the mountain allows you to return to the Origin Continent,” Di Qing said, pointing to the mountain path. “Following the mountain path requires the strength of at least a late-stage God Emperor enlightened cultivator to reach the summit. At the summit is also a dark abyss that can be used for transmission, leading to the Dark Sacred Realm. The two kingdom ancestors are in the Dark Sacred Realm.”

Luo Feng and Di Ming understood, while Di Fu was currently focused on perfecting his body.

“Wait for me a moment.”

Di Qing said this before walking towards the two hundred plus figures. “You should know the rules of the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm.”

Di Qing’s formless aura spread out, enveloping the heavens and the earth, as well as the two hundred plus cultivators.

Di Qing was an enlightened cultivator who reached the early-stage God Emperor realm in the Origin Continent! Although he hadn’t spent much time wandering the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, he had accumulated a considerable amount of power. Without the suppression of a world, his aura was far more terrifying than Luo Feng’s.

The two hundred plus figures paled, realizing that even if they joined forces, they couldn’t defeat this terrifying existence.

Di Qing smiled. “There are thirty-five cities in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm. I plan to go to Rain Ripple City. Anyone willing to join me can do so now! Each cultivator needs to pay a fee of 100 primal chaos crystals or equivalent items. This is the normal price.”

“I am willing.”

“I’ll join.”

One after another, figures stood up. Some had originally been cultivating in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, simply returning to their hometown for a visit and were now returning.

They lacked the strength to travel alone and were waiting for a transport flying boat.

“This God Emperor senior dares to lead the way, so he must be confident.”

“There’s no difference between the thirty-five cities in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm. You new cultivators can completely join Rain Ripple City.”

“Who knows how long we’ll have to keep waiting?”

Some cultivators tried to persuade others.

Soon, 96 cultivators were willing to follow, and most were able to pay 100 primal chaos crystals. Those who couldn’t offered equivalent items instead.

“I’ve earned nearly ten thousand primal chaos crystals.” Di Qing happily accepted the benefits, looking at Luo Feng, Di Ming, and Di Fu. “In the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm, primal chaos crystals are needed everywhere. Without primal chaos crystals, you don’t even have the right to stay in a city for an extended period. Perhaps this is Senior Yuan and the others forcing us to risk our lives.”

Di Qing waved his hand.

A cyan metal flying boat appeared, its surface bearing traces of wear and tear. However, the aura of the flying boat was terrifying, causing everyone present to feel fear. Luo Feng realized that without the Star Tower and the Eye of Destruction and Creation, there was probably some gap between himself and Di Qing.

“Let’s go.” With a thought, Di Qing placed the other 96 cultivators in the rear cabins, while the four of them occupied the flying boat’s front hall.

*Hoo.*

The cyan flying boat instantly merged with the void, flying at incredible speed towards Rain Ripple City.

“The most dangerous place in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm is those nine rivers.” Di Qing stood in the flying boat’s front hall, gazing at the distant world outside. “The nine rivers are like nine chains, sealing the entire world. These nine rivers are also the energy center of the entire world, able to draw in vast primal chaos power from the outside world, converging it within the rivers.”

“Therefore, the energy within these nine rivers is the densest! Only by living in the nine rivers can those low-level primal chaos lifeforms absorb enough energy to survive for long periods,” Di Qing said.

Luo Feng looked at the distance. “Are there many low-level primal chaos lifeforms in the nine rivers?”

“Many, countless!”

Di Qing nodded. “No one knows how many low-level primal chaos lifeforms Senior Yuan and the others threw into the nine rivers. They are also our main hunting targets in the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm. Of course, those low-level primal chaos lifeforms are also hunting us.”

As the flying boat traveled, Di Qing shared some common knowledge with Luo Feng and the others.
