In that case, the vast difference in their cultivation levels would be her biggest weakness. After all, she was only a cultivator at the first level of the Immortal Platform realm, while her opponent had already crossed the crucial Heavenly Barrier of Severing the Dao. The gap was simply too great.
"If I were to acquire another sacred weapon, I might be able to protect myself!" Her eyes flickered as she looked at Li Wangxian, who was about to leave.
"Brother Dao, please wait!" Yi Qingwu's voice was very magnetic, unforgettable, and extremely pleasant to hear.
"Why don't you cross the void and escape?" Li Wangxian turned around and asked in surprise.
“The fact that his avatar could arrive so quickly means that his true body is not far away. With the divine power of a king, even if I were to traverse tens of thousands of miles of void using the Xuan Yu Platform, he could very well deduce the location based on the void fluctuations and chase after me,” Yi Qingwu said calmly.
Chapter 114 By the River of Falling Stars
"As expected of the most beautiful woman in the world, the most dazzling flower, even an old monster who has already severed his Dao could not resist the goddess's temptation, and abandoned his dignity to commit such a kidnapping!"
Faced with Yi Qingwu's interruption, Li Wangxian was quite unkind and teased her like that.
"Brother Li, you jest!" Yi Qingwu said calmly, her expression composed. "Now that the King is about to attack, if he has a sacred weapon, with our current shallow cultivation, it would be extremely dangerous for us to face him alone. Why don't we join forces and fight against this powerful enemy together?"
“But he’s here to arrest you, what does that have to do with me?” Li Wangxian asked, spreading his hands.
“Brother Li, no one would complain about having too many holy weapons. Even a Dao-Slaying King wouldn’t mind acquiring another holy weapon along the way,” Yi Qingwu said calmly, stating her assessment.
"But this is just your guess. Maybe he doesn't even have a holy weapon. Besides, even if he did, you are the primary target. By now, I would have already disappeared."
Li Wangxian was quite unscrupulous. After speaking, he stomped his foot, and the Dao patterns that had been carved on the ground during their conversation burst forth with divine light. With a whoosh, a flash of clear light appeared, and he decisively ran away, disappearing from the spot.
This is a portal that can traverse 100,000 miles. Because it doesn't require any materials, it only took a little time.
"So decisive..." Yi Qingwu frowned as she looked at the Dao patterns on the ground that had disappeared automatically after Li Wangxian left.
Without further ado, she summoned a jade platform with her jade hand, activated it, and then quickly rushed inside, leaving behind a powerful artifact.
"boom!"
After she left, the powerful artifact was detonated by the divine power she left behind, causing the void to collapse and disrupting its order.
"Hopefully, this will interfere with their deductions!" Yi Qingwu murmured as she stepped into the void passage.
The Falling Star River stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles and is very famous in Luzhou. Legend has it that many ancient stars have fallen into it, and the river water contains the power of stars, shining brightly every night.
On a moonlit night, the great river flows gently, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
It was a full moon night. Since leaving decisively more than a month ago, Li Wangxian had not wasted any more time. After changing directions several times, he crossed the void and came to Luoxinghe to wait.
"A river that stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles..." Li Wangxian, who was boating on the river, had a headache.
He has been here for more than a month. During this time, he even refined the Purple Dragon Marrow he had found, and his cultivation level rose to the seventh stage of the Dragon Transformation. He is even close to the eighth stage. However, he still has no clue about the Sun True Scripture.
"On the night of the full moon, by the Milky Way where stars fall!" Li Wangxian carefully pondered the Heavenly Mystery Elder's deduction.
"Is the true scripture hidden at the bottom of the river, and can only be obtained when the celestial signs match? Or is this time and place a transaction involving two parties possessing the true scripture of the sun?"
He was pondering various possibilities, but how could he be certain before the mystery was solved?
"Let's take it one at a time and see if anyone will come here to make a deal!"
With this in mind, he did not hesitate. He used his divine power to propel the light boat, speeding across the Falling Star River, carefully examining every part of it, while also exchanging information with some cultivators.
"Have you heard? A while ago, Fairy Yi Qingwu was chased by a king who had severed the Dao, but now she has returned to the Guanghan Palace unharmed!"
"Of course, and who in the world doesn't know that the goddess Yi Qingwu is not only the most beautiful woman in the world, but also has unfathomable cultivation. She is now on par with the leaders of sects and is the number one goddess of this era."
On the Falling Star River, many cultivators were boating in groups of two or three, drinking yellow wine under the moon, chatting and enjoying themselves immensely.
"Yi Qingwu is really capable; she escaped safely!"
Li Wangxian remained calm and unsurprised. After all, he was protected by a sacred weapon, and his avatar had been killed. The king had only sensed something and did not know the specific situation. Therefore, he might not dare to risk his true body, and it was even less likely that this person actually had a sacred weapon.
Without stopping, he steered his small boat forward, continuing to race across the Falling Star River, gathering all information with his incredibly sharp and powerful divine sense.
"Have you heard? Xu Sheng of the Mingling Changsheng Temple has been training in the Nine Thunder Domain for several years. After entering the Dragon Transformation stage, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. Moreover, he undergoes a Heavenly Tribulation every time he advances to a small step. Now he is finally challenging the Three-Lacking Daoist again."
"What? Is that so? But hasn't Daoist Sanque already entered the Immortal Platform realm? If I remember correctly, Master Xu has only been in the Dragon Transformation realm for a little over three years. He's still a long way from the Immortal Platform realm!"
"That's right, but they are all disciples of the Longevity Temple. I suppose Daoist Sanque will lower his cultivation level to fight against someone of the same level!"
"Indeed! I look forward to this battle!"
"Hmm? It'll be difficult for Xu Sheng to defeat the Three-Missing Taoist!"
Li Wangxian shook his head, recalling the candidate holy son who had been struck by lightning and shaved bald in the Thunder Domain, without intending to look down on him.
But the gap is indeed too big. There is really no comparison between a saint-level figure who is only at the third or fourth level of the forbidden realm and a stunning figure at the fifth or sixth level of the forbidden realm, and a hero who is at the seventh level of the forbidden realm and has the potential to reach the eighth level.
"Everything is calm and peaceful, there's no tension, and an atmosphere of anticipation is subtly present. It seems no one is here to trade or anything, so is the opportunity indeed hidden in Falling Star River?"
Although he didn't explore the entire Falling Star River, Li Wangxian didn't find anything wrong with the atmosphere or the number of cultivators there, so he quickly changed his approach.
"Given my taboo-bound nature and unpredictable circumstances, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets could not have foreseen that I would attain enlightenment and obtain the True Scripture of the Sun at the Falling Star River."
And since no major forces have come here to trade, it means that someone else may have obtained this opportunity tonight, and the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets deduced this scene?
Beforehand, Li Wangxian had already considered all the possibilities. Now that he had preliminarily ruled out the first possibility, he immediately steered the small boat and sped along the riverbank.
"The banks of the Falling Star River, could it refer to the families living along the riverbank? Or does it simply mean that someone obtained the true scriptures on a certain stretch of the river?"
Amidst a whirlwind of speculation, Li Wangxian didn't let any information from the outside world slip by. His Heavenly Eye, sharp as lightning, collected every single image.
"Hmm? There are two cultivators fighting over there. Could it be that they're fighting over the spoils and trying to steal the good fortune?"
Li Wangxian sped across the river at breakneck speed. Under the moonlight, his two heavenly eyes shone with dazzling divine light. With each opening and closing, his aura was incredibly intimidating, startling the two people fighting ahead, who turned to look at him warily.
“It’s not them…” Li Wangxian’s heart skipped a beat. He had a certain intuition that the Sun Scripture did not belong to these two people.
"No! No! No!"
"Hey!"
A small boat sped across the water like a bolt of lightning, recklessly traversing the vast River of Falling Stars, attracting the attention of countless people along the way.
"Hmm? Over there, by the riverbank, what did a male cultivator take from that mortal girl?"
Li Wangxian's third eye opened wide, and in an instant, golden light shot straight to the Dipper. He had a premonition that he had finally found the right person.
Chapter 115 Lin Xiaoyun
"Immortal Master, I've given you all the beads Xiaoyun found. Can I go home now?"
On the banks of the Falling Star River, facing the somewhat fierce, flying immortal master before her, the little girl spoke timidly.
"That won't do!" The middle-aged male cultivator in the Taoist robe said solemnly from the front.
"Why, why not?" Although she was scared, the little girl mustered her courage and asked weakly, as it concerned going home.
"This inheritance isn't in the bead. What did you just receive?" the Taoist-robed man asked.
"Well, Xiaoyun only found this bead!" the little girl said, sounding aggrieved, completely misunderstanding what the other person meant.
The male cultivator was somewhat annoyed; this little girl was indeed difficult to deal with. But after thinking for a moment, he softened his expression and deliberately made his tone gentle as he asked, "Just now, that bead emitted divine light that shone on you. What did you see?"
"There are lots of strange drawings twinkling around like little stars. Xiaoyun tries to catch them, but she can't, and she doesn't know what they are!" The little girl was very honest and answered every question.
"A peerless scripture or an unparalleled sacred technique?" The middle-aged male cultivator's heart skipped a beat, and many guesses flashed through his mind in an instant. Of course, no matter which possibility it was, he was overjoyed.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the little girl's head and began to roughly search her mind with his divine sense.
"Ah, it hurts so much, Immortal Master..." The little girl cried out in pain, begging the Immortal Master to let her go.
"You're courting death!" It's a long story, but in reality, the moment Li Wangxian saw the two of them from afar, that's pretty much the scene.
Seeing the male cultivator treat the little girl so roughly, Li Wangxian's eyes sharpened, and he unleashed the Innate Great Sun Divine Light Technique at lightning speed, instantly descending from the sky and pressing down with his palm.
"No, ah!..." The Taoist-robed man's eyes widened, and he involuntarily screamed in agony as his body was torn to pieces and scattered in all directions.
"Don't look!" Li Wangxian stretched out his hand, blocking the little girl's view, and then with his other hand, he channeled the power of the sun, instantly vaporizing the broken body.
"So many... little stars..." the little girl mumbled sleepily.
"Damn it, this has slightly damaged the little girl's spirit." Li Wangxian's expression changed. The divine powers of the Taiyin and Taiyang merged and fused together, and from the golden-black holy power, waves of creative power representing the "essence of life" surged into the little girl's body, nourishing her body and soul.
"It's so warm and comfortable!" The little girl murmured involuntarily as the holy power entered her body.
"Yunyun, Yunyun, where are you? Yunyun, don't scare your mother. Yunyun, come home quickly."
Just then, a series of anxious calls came from afar on the wind. Li Wangxian scanned the area with his Heavenly Eye and instantly saw a middle-aged woman searching for a little girl along the riverbank in the distance.
"Is she the little girl's mother?" Li Wangxian, holding the little girl, quickly flew over and landed in front of the woman.
"Yunyun!" The middle-aged woman cried out in fear as she looked at the dazed, half-asleep little girl.
"Here you go!" Li Wangxian reached out and handed the little girl to the woman.
"Yunyun, Yunyun, what's wrong?" The middle-aged woman asked the little girl anxiously.
"Mother, Yunyun...it's okay, Yunyun...sleepy, go to sleep...okay."
The little girl struggled to open half of her eyes. When she saw her mother, she tensed up. Even though she could barely speak, she comforted her mother like a little adult.
"Yunyun, Yunyun..." The middle-aged woman's face changed drastically. How could she be alright in this state? She glanced at Li Wangxian, and after recalling the scene of him flying down, she knelt down without hesitation and said, "I beg you, Immortal Master, to have great mercy and save my daughter!"
"Get up first! Yunyun's injuries only need some time to heal and replenish her spirit." Li Wangxian nodded, reassuring the woman without hesitation, and then tried to help her up.
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression softened, and she revealed a look of joy. However, instead of getting up, she bent over and was about to kneel down again.
"Does this mean he has to kowtow?" Li Wangxian's expression changed, and he was both amused and exasperated. He quickly used some of his divine power to forcibly pull the other person up.
"Immortal Master..." The middle-aged woman was grateful, but also uneasy, fearing that her actions might offend the Immortal Master.
"Hey, go back to your house first! I have something to tell you, it's about this child," Li Wangxian said.
Xiaoxing Village
This is a small village. Although it is next to the Luoxing River, it cannot be considered a fishing village, at least most of the families are not fishermen.
Because this river is full of the power of the stars, and monsters often come to roam the water, fishing here is a truly high-risk profession. Apart from a few brave folks, ordinary people would not risk going into the river to fish unless they were really desperate to survive.
Guided by the woman, Li Wangxian used a burst of divine light to lift the little girl and her mother, and took them home.
Upon arriving, Li Wangxian finally understood why the little girl was by the Luoxing River so late at night.
The incident began when the little girl's father, struggling to make ends meet, decided to follow the village's old fishermen to the river to try his luck at fishing.
Unfortunately, he failed. Although he had a great harvest when he left the river, his boat was capsized by a strange wind that came from nowhere on the way back, and all the people on the boat were scattered by the huge waves.
This time, of the eight fishermen, only three returned alive. Fortunately, one of them was the little girl's father, who, with his exceptional swimming skills, stumbled back from some unknown body of water.
