247: River of the Dead, Platform of Enlightenment

Boom boom boom—

As Wan Tianchao, Zhu Zixi, Shen Xu, and other Saints made their moves, this world began to tremble.

Their true strength was enough to suppress a Soul Palace Ninth Level Peak, and even comparable to a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Now, with them unleashing their full power, the might they displayed was truly earth-shattering, causing people's Divine Souls to tremble.

One Tomb after another was opened, and surging Spiritual Qi gushed forth, causing all the Tombs to vibrate!

Whoosh la la!!!

In the Soul Sea, colossal waves raged, terrifyingly abnormal. However, whether it was Wan Tianchao, Zhu Zixi, or Loose Cultivators like Gu Lintao, their eyes were already bloodshot. No one noticed that, at some unknown time, the Divine Soul remnants floating in the Void Realm were becoming increasingly violent!

Dong! Dong! Dong!

From the depths of the sea, a series of Soul-stirring vibrations suddenly emanated, like a massive heart beating. With each beat, the malevolent Qi in the Tombs intensified!

Crack!!!

Suddenly, a massive crack appeared in the Soul Sea, and endless seawater found an outlet, pouring into the bottomless crack!

This scene finally caught the attention of all the Cultivators present.

"What's going on? It seems like something is about to escape from inside. Could it be that those great demons and monsters haven't all died out?"

Zhu Zixi's expression was solemn as he looked at the terrifying great crack.

Wan Tianchao's eyes also showed an incredulous look. Cultivators of the Soul Palace Realm like them couldn't see what was inside, but they could feel an desolate, ancient aura emanating from it!

Everyone stopped their movements. The Tombs continued to vibrate, and from the cracked deep sea, an endless amount of yellow liquid suddenly emerged.

The yellow liquid erupted, growing in quantity, covering a large area of the seawater, forming a stark contrast with the clear Soul Sea!

However, this was just the beginning. More yellow river water flowed out, filled with boundless killing Qi. In just a moment, it had already engulfed the entire sea!

"This... could it be the legendary river of yellow springs?"

The Saint of Black Tortoise Mansion said in disbelief.

river of yellow springs!

He had only seen it in ancient texts. Legend has it that it is the river that carries the Souls of the deceased. Beings who cannot enter Reincarnation will eventually gather in this river of yellow springs!

Forever adrift!

Boom!!!

At this moment, the river of yellow springs began to surge!

The river surface covered the original Soul Sea, and one Tomb after another seemed to sense something, vibrating incessantly!

Some were directly covered by the river of yellow springs, submerged within it, leaving no trace to be seen!

Immediately after, a terrifying force swept out, annihilating one Tomb after another, and the Cultivators who were on the Tombs were all sent flying!

No one could stop this force, and some with insufficient strength were directly severely injured!

Only those top-tier Saint-level experts could remain unharmed, but they also couldn't stop this force and were completely repelled.

"river of yellow springs, what exactly is hidden within this Soul Sea? How could there be one change after another!"

Wan Tianchao simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.

These were scenes that the Saints who had entered the Sect before had not recorded!

By this point, all developments had gone beyond their control. In front of this endless river of yellow springs, they were like insignificant ants, utterly powerless to resist!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The vibrations continued. After the colossal Tombs were submerged, only a few remaining Tombs still stood tall in the river of yellow springs.

Those Tombs were completely different from the others!

On the Tombs, there were raised stone platforms, just like altars used for sacrifices.

The Divine Soul phantoms floating in the sky were now all swept away by the river of yellow springs, drifting in the river of yellow springs, as if that was their ultimate destination!

"I know! These are enlightenment platforms!"

"Legend has it that these are enlightenment platforms used by ancient mighty beings to impart the Dao. As long as one ascends an enlightenment platform, they can comprehend the Dao in a very short period!"

"This is a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity!"

The Saint of Black Tortoise Mansion exclaimed in surprise.

This was all thanks to the Old Ancestor of Black Tortoise Mansion, whose lineage was extremely ancient. He had seen many things, and these were the records he left behind!

enlightenment platforms were simply legendary items!

No one expected them to actually appear here!

"enlightenment platforms? Such divine objects actually exist in the world. It seems that the mighty being of the Azure Dragon Clan deliberately left them behind."

Zhu Zixi's worries in his heart lessened considerably.

He originally thought he had lost the chance to compete for treasures, but he didn't expect to gain an even greater Opportunity!

For Cultivators, external treasures are ultimately external. Strengthening oneself is the most important thing!

Compared to external possessions, these legendary divine objects that can accelerate one's Cultivation speed and allow one to comprehend the natural world are the most important!

"Then what are we waiting for? There are only a hundred Tombs left, a hundred enlightenment platforms. Whoever gets them first, that's their Opportunity!"

"Let me test the waters. I want that tallest Tomb!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Tianchao unhesitatingly chose the tallest Tomb standing in the river of yellow springs!

That Tomb, at a glance, its Peak was completely obscured by clouds and mist, as if it had already penetrated into the highest heavens!

The largest Tomb undoubtedly represented the greatest Opportunity, and he naturally didn't want to miss it!

Whoosh!!!

As his voice fell, Wan Tianchao unceremoniously leaped up, intending to fly straight up!

"Wan Tianchao, you're too shameless! Why should this largest enlightenment platform belong to you? This Saint insists on competing with you!"

Want to seize the greatest Opportunity?

Zhu Zixi certainly wouldn't agree. How could he be willing to fall behind Wan Tianchao?

Since it's about snatching, then let strength speak!

Zhu Zixi also leaped up, ready to snatch!

However, just then, Wan Tianchao, who had originally leaped high, suddenly plunged headfirst into the river of yellow springs!

Whoosh la!

His massive body fell, and the river of yellow springs stirred up huge waves!

At the same time, Zhu Zixi also didn't escape the fate of falling. Like Wan Tianchao, he also fell into the river of yellow springs!

"Can't fly anymore?"

The Saints were all stunned when they saw this scene!

Unable to fly meant that to snatch an enlightenment platform on a Tomb, one could only cross the river of yellow springs and then ascend!

This made everyone's eyes light up!

"What are you still waiting for? This is a heaven-sent Opportunity. Why don't you all go together!"

Gu Lintao knew how to incite people.

Facing so many Inner Sea Saints, he didn't dare to face them alone, so he had to incite people to make others compete with him!

A mere hundred enlightenment platforms, too many monks and too little gruel!

"Opportunity is before us, what more do we have to hesitate about? Since none of us can fly, then it's fair for everyone!"

"Indeed, the fated one obtains it. The mighty being of the Azure Dragon Clan has already given the answer. Everyone, I'll go ahead!"

One Cultivator after another rushed into the river of yellow springs, none of them noticing anything unusual.

The Inner Sea Saints all looked at the Saint of Black Tortoise Mansion, because he was the one who understood the river of yellow springs the most.

"Ascending an enlightenment platform, each person only has one chance. Those who fall lose their Opportunity. Everyone, please help yourselves!"
