Fairy, dreams shouldn't be taken seriously.

Outside the castle flows a beautiful river about a kilometer wide, where the two rivers intertwine and merge, flowing ceaselessly.

Mist surged across the river, enveloping an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and from time to time, a roar like that of a colossal beast could be heard from within.

He stepped forward, about to try washing his hands, but was shocked once again.

A castle that looked exactly like it was reflected in the water.

At first glance, it might be mistaken for a reflection of water.

However, after careful observation, he finally confirmed that it was all real, and not just a simple illusion.

At this moment, the shock I felt was once again elevated to a level that completely overturned my understanding.

He was very curious about who owned such a colossal castle that stood in the world.

What was the purpose of that godfather arranging for him to come here for a stroll?

When he turned around, he met Ju Zi's shocked expression as she poked her head out of the carriage and saw everything.

Just like he had acted, he seemed utterly awestruck by the wonders of the world.

"Young master, is that... the legendary dragon?"

He paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "It's probably true..."

After saying that, he told Ju Zi to wait there and not to run around so she wouldn't get lost.

Seeing that Ju Zi nodded to indicate that she wouldn't wander off and would wait for him there, he felt relieved and walked towards the river.

Looking around, there was no end in sight. How could we get across?

There was neither a bridge nor a boat.

The old man, who never showed his face but whose ventriloquism was heard, left without telling him how to get there.

But from what he said, he meant to let me go in and take a look.

So here's the problem: he's standing right on the riverbank, how is he supposed to cross this thousand-meter-wide, frigid river of waves?

We can't very well test his martial arts skills by swimming across.

After figuring out the key point, he planned to use his ice magic to turn water into ice and walk over step by step.

In fact, great cultivators who have reached the Cloud Soaring Realm possess the ability to fly through the clouds.

However, it is obvious at a glance that there are countless formations and restrictions here. If someone were to fly through it recklessly, they would likely be blasted into dust by those unseen powerful attacks.

For safety's sake, the best course of action is to continue on foot.

Step by step, I walked towards the riverbank, my feet barely lifting me to leap into the water.

However, just as he was about to leap into the air at the last moment, the river suddenly began to surge and churn.

Countless water curtains exploded into water columns hundreds of meters high, forming a spectacular waterfall.

The fog along the riverbank suddenly became much thicker.

A few water droplets splashed onto his face, and he immediately felt an extreme chill.

The bone-chilling cold made one wonder if this river was connected to the legendary, hellish, and frigid River of the Demonic Cult.

After everything gradually calmed down, he suddenly saw a huge turtle on the water in front of him.

On the turtle's back rests a blank stele, which appears to have no inscription and is covered in moss. It is also broken in half and looks quite old.

The turtle is so large that it is roughly equivalent to a small villa of 100 square meters in a city.

"Come up."

Suddenly, I felt a sparse, explosive response in my ears, and my eardrums throbbed as if they were about to burst.

The voice came from the enormous creature in front of him, seemingly reminding him to sit on its back and be taken to the other side.

After a slight hesitation, he stopped worrying and easily leaped up, landing steadily on the giant tortoise.

The water began to churn again, seemingly about to engulf everything.

The giant tortoise slowly swam towards the enormous manor castle opposite.

Standing on its back, Fan Zui felt no swaying whatsoever.

Driven by curiosity, he came to the moss-covered half of the stone tablet.

The broken monument is three meters high and five meters wide, and it is covered with wet moss.

Upon closer inspection, however, there was no text on it, but some marks of sword and knife strikes were visible.

However, it seems that due to its age, it is no longer as obvious.

Looking down at the broken stele onto the giant tortoise shell, one can see that the stele is deeply embedded within it, making one wonder if it has actually broken through the shell and entered the body.

"Is the young man interested in this stone tablet?"

The old tortoise's rather piercing, gut-wrenching voice rang out again.

He instinctively covered his ears, then asked curiously:

"Where did this stone tablet come from, and why is there not a single inscription on it?"

"The half with the writing on it was cut off and taken away."

This time, the old tortoise's voice no longer had the piercing, dizzying quality of the previous two times. Perhaps it had realized that its voice would hurt the young man in front of it, so it became much gentler.

"Who?"

He reached out and gently stroked the most obvious sword mark on the stone tablet, the one that ultimately severed it.

However, just as I touched the edge, a sharp pain suddenly shot through my finger.

A fleeting glint of sword light flashed across the sky.

Upon closer inspection, a deep cut had been made on his finger.

If his body refinement realm hadn't already broken through to the Radiant Sun Realm, his five fingers would probably have been severed by now.

There are only a handful of body-refining experts in the world at the Huiyang Realm, but this seemingly insignificant sword mark, which has been there for countless years, is still nothing to mention and breaks through their defenses instantly.

"That person is Ji Cangjin, the world's number one expert who is most likely to successfully ascend to the upper realm in the past ten thousand years."

The old tortoise spoke slowly, his voice carrying a tone that seemed to have been long forgotten.

Chapter 85 [The Mystery of the Heavenly Gate]

This was the second time he had heard the name Ji Cangjin.

It is said that this woman is the first person in ten thousand years to have successfully ascended to the upper realm, and is the world's number one expert, full of legends.

Invincible for a hundred years in the entire cultivation world.

However, even someone as powerful and invincible as him ultimately perished under the heavenly tribulation and was unable to ascend to heaven.

Ten thousand years ago, after the third great being in the world successfully ascended to heaven, the Heavenly Gate was closed and never opened again.

All those who attempted ascension ultimately perished outside the gates of heaven.

Only a few, upon reaching the Heavenly Gate, chose not to continue attempting ascension but instead opted to preserve their lives.

Thus, the concept of wandering immortals came into being.

Also called earth immortals, or land deities.

The Lustful Emperor was one of them.

Now, he has stored the skeleton puppet, which has only reached the Formless Realm, into his spatial ring.

In this world where scattered immortals are hidden and those at the Primordial Chaos Realm are no longer appearing, Wuxiang is now the top-tier expert in time travel.

It's safe to say that as long as you don't offend anyone, you should be able to walk around without any problems.

After regaining his composure, he continued to look at the broken and incomplete stele in front of him and asked curiously:

"What is written on this? Why would someone as powerful as the world's number one expert be interested in it, and ultimately want to cut it in half and take it away?"

"It's probably some kind of forbidden technique that fell from the sky; I've never seen it before."

The old tortoise's slightly aged yet kind voice rang in my ears.

Forbidden techniques are restrictive methods that are so powerful that they exceed our comprehension, yet require an enormous price to activate each time they are used.

Even the strongest terrestrial immortals in the world are unwilling to use forbidden techniques unless absolutely necessary.

From just a few words, Fan Zui seemed to have learned some hidden information.

However, he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, he is still a long way from ascension.

The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through. Sometimes, even a small breakthrough requires thousands or tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

Although he has a cheat system that might make his breakthroughs much faster, it's definitely not something he can achieve overnight.

However, I did pay closer attention to the news about asparagus again.

There are no more people in the world who can ascend to immortality, which is not good news.

Because sooner or later, he will inevitably reach the point of ascension.
