665: Stepping onto the long river, the soul is strengthened

The Guangyin bronze coffin can actually connect to the Guangyin River. So the legends were true.

But at this moment, she felt no joy, only endless fear. With death approaching, how could she not be afraid?

Stepping onto the Guangyin River, her lifespan was rapidly diminishing. She felt she couldn't last even half an incense stick's time; she would surely die!

Xie Weilou took a deep breath: "Quickly get back into the coffin. There is no Power of Time inside."

The Longevity Saintess heard this and quickly entered the coffin.

Boom!

The moment she entered the coffin, the lid automatically closed.

Xie Weilou's expression changed, and he immediately tried to push the coffin, but he couldn't open it at all.

Om!

The Guangyin bronze coffin was flowing upstream along the Guangyin River at an incredibly terrifying speed, disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye.

"I haven't gotten on yet!"

Xie Weilou stood rooted to the spot, his face full of bitterness. He also felt he couldn't last half an incense stick's time; he was completely done for now.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the heaven suppressing stele automatically appeared from between his eyebrows. Runes permeated its surface, flickering with eerie light, seemingly able to resist the Power of Time.

Seeing this, Xie Weilou quickly grasped the heaven suppressing stele. He also brought out the Heavenly Book and held it in his hand. With both in hand, he could indeed resist the Power of Time, but not completely.

The Guangyin River was flowing forward, and he instinctively wanted to go against it, to chase the Guangyin bronze coffin, but he found he couldn't lift his feet at all. Time cannot be reversed, so it was naturally difficult to go back.

"..."

Xie Weilou's expression was extremely solemn. He looked forward. Since he couldn't go against it, then he would go forward. Perhaps he could find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Stepping onto the Guangyin River, even if you stand still, Time still flows, and your lifespan still dissipates.

Boom!

He took a step forward. This time, it was unobstructed, because the Power of Time was pushing him, actively moving him forward.

After taking a step, Xie Weilou found his body suddenly became incredibly light, but he felt goosebumps all over, because he realized what was moving forward was not his physical body, but his soul.

He quickly looked back. His physical body stood motionless in its original spot.

As the Guangyin River flowed, his physical body's hair began to turn white, withered, and fall out. His face lost its luster, becoming incredibly shriveled.

After a few more breaths, his physical body turned to dust and dissipated into the Guangyin River.

Xie Weilou looked at his hands. The Heavenly Book and the heaven suppressing stele were still in his grasp. He was silent for a second, then continued to walk forward.

He took thousands of steps in a row, but the river still had no end, and his divine soul could no longer hold on. It was unable to resist the Power of Time and was slowly dissipating.

Om!

The heaven suppressing stele suddenly left his arm and flew towards the front of the river, spanning tens of thousands of meters.

The stele landed, suppressing the river. The rapidly flowing Guangyin River's speed began to slow down.

Xie Weilou felt the speed of his divine soul's dissipation decrease. He continued to hold the Heavenly Book and move forward.

After walking for a while, he felt as if he had lived through several lifetimes.

As he walked, he didn't know how long had passed. His soul became ethereal, his eyes already dim, without any luster. He arrived before the heaven suppressing stele and finally collapsed in front of it.

Just as his divine soul was about to completely dissipate, the Heavenly Book emitted a mysterious power. The River of Time instantly became still, the heaven suppressing stele vibrated, and the golden Profound Manifestation, evolved from the heaven suppressing stele's power, appeared out of thin air above.

The golden Profound Manifestation sat down cross-legged. He formed hand seals, and the surrounding Power of Time continuously entered his body, being frantically devoured by him.

He injected terrifying power into Xie Wei's soul.

Xie Wei's originally weak soul gradually strengthened... one year.

Ten years.

A hundred years... After an unknown period, Xie Wei's divine soul became even more terrifying, and the golden Profound Manifestation's aura became even more fierce.

His physical body, which had been worn away by Time, was reshaped and became even stronger under the blessing of a mysterious power.

Om!

Xie Wei slowly opened his eyes, and the power of his divine soul completely erupted.

The golden lake of divine soul immediately grew three times larger, and the original six Divine Rivers also became nine Divine Rivers. Golden light shot up into the sky, illuminating the Guangyin River.

Xie Wei looked at the golden Profound Manifestation in front of him, then at his own body, and murmured, "I'm still alive..."

Boom!

The Heavenly Book vibrated, and a mysterious power erupted, directly enveloping Xie Wei and carrying him upstream against the Guangyin River.

The Guangyin River was constantly shaking, the Power of Time became even more terrifying, and the river water was incredibly swift.

Om!

The golden Profound Manifestation returned to Xie Wei's dantian, and the heaven suppressing stele flew back into the depths of Xie Wei's soul, guarding his divine soul and preventing erosion by Time.

At the same time.

The Guangyin bronze coffin, flowing upstream, automatically opened its lid. A devouring force struck, and Xie Wei was immediately pulled into the coffin, instantly losing consciousness. The coffin lid quickly closed... After an unknown period.

In the starry sky where they had previously set foot, the bronze coffin stood motionless on the altar.

Crack!

The coffin lid opened, and Xie Wei and the Longevity Saintess were thrown out. The coffin lid quickly closed, and the surrounding space shattered.

Xie Wei slowly opened his eyes. He looked around, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "I'm back again?"

He then looked at the Longevity Saintess on the ground. She hadn't changed much.

"Kill her..."

A cold light flickered in Xie Wei's eyes.

A totem of the Longevity Ancient Tree appeared between the Longevity Saintess's eyebrows. A life aura emanated from her body, and her eyes instantly opened.

Seeing Xie Wei staring at her, she was stunned for a second, then immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "You... you're not dead?"

She then looked around. The coffin was still there, and they had all returned.

Xie Wei asked with a deep gaze, "What did the Holy Maiden encounter before?"

The Longevity Saintess frowned and said, "I entered the coffin, the coffin automatically closed, and I lost consciousness."

She then stared at Xie Wei, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "What did you experience?"

The coffin lid had closed, and Xie Wei was alone on the Guangyin River. How did he appear here again?

Xie Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know either! After that coffin closed, it automatically went upstream. I thought I was doomed, but I didn't expect the coffin lid to open automatically again, and I was taken into the coffin, also losing consciousness."

"Is that so?"

The Longevity Saintess gazed at Xie Wei.

Xie Wei shook his head: "On the Guangyin River, what do you think I could do?"

"..."

The Longevity Saintess fell silent. Xie Wei's explanation had no apparent flaws.

On that river, let alone them, even peerless mighty figures would face certain death. Everything depended on fate.

Xie Wei mused, "What we witnessed today is too bizarre. If word gets out, you and I will likely face certain death. At the very least, the matter of the Guangyin River cannot be spread..."

The Longevity Saintess naturally understood Xie Wei's meaning.

If word of today's events got out, countless powerful individuals would surely want to capture them as guinea pigs.

She sneered, "I have the Longevity Holy Land's protection; what do I have to fear? It's you, you lecher, who's afraid, isn't it?"
