259: The long river of time, the resurrection of Xuanyuan Tianchen!

Thatched Cottage.

Inside the Peach Blossom Forest.

Mu Qianli was currently lying on her chair, her beautiful eyes closed, holding a half-empty wine pot in her hand, with the fragrance of peach blossoms permeating all around her.

Third Master’s figure appeared there, slowly walking over.

Mu Qianli didn't open her eyes and said, “The Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall wants to cause trouble for Junior Brother. Since that’s the case, shouldn’t Thatched Cottage step in?”

“Although Revered Master said not to proactively reveal Junior Brother’s identity, they are already riding roughshod over us. If we keep enduring it, we’ll just be asking for trouble.”

Third Master understood what his impatient Second Senior Sister meant when he heard this.

He calmly said, “It’s about time.”

“This time, not only the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall, but also the Evil Infant Realm and the Ancient Soul Nest will make a move against Junior Brother.”

“Although Tian Chen is in the Great Xia Dynasty, if a fight breaks out, all living beings in the Holy Land will be affected and annihilated.”

“Therefore, some people still need to go.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianli instantly opened her beautiful eyes, her pupils clear and bright, without a trace of intoxication.

“The Evil Infant Realm and the Ancient Soul Nest are dealing with Junior Brother? What are they doing it for?” Mu Qianli asked.

“Junior Brother possesses the Netherworld Divine Eyes, which is the natural nemesis of the Evil Infant race.”

“As for the Ancient Soul Nest, they were coerced by Gu Changge and had no choice but to do so,” Third Master said indifferently, standing under the peach tree and looking at the falling petals.

“Hmph!”

“Gu Changge and Slaughter Emperor Hun Wuzhen really look down on my Thatched Cottage.”

“If Junior Brother truly wanted to destroy the Evil Infant Realm, I would go there myself, and their entire Evil Infant Realm would be annihilated. Why would they need the Netherworld Divine Eyes?!”

“This time, I’ll go personally!”

“I haven’t made a move in so many years; my hands are itching.”

“Just right, going this time will completely reveal Junior Brother’s identity, and it will also serve as a reminder to all forces in the Yuan Realm.”

“To touch someone from my Thatched Cottage, they’ll have to see if they have the guts!” Mu Qianli clenched her fist, her heart already burning.

It had been so many years since she had made a move. This time, she hoped that the strength of Destruction Demon Lord and Gu Changge would not disappoint her.

Third Master didn't say anything; he was quite confident in his Senior Sister's strength.

Moreover, Tian Chen was also there. With the two “special” Limitless Realm Peaks present, they were enough to suppress the entire scene.

“A few days ago, I received a message from First Master.”

“He and Revered Master will be back in a year,” Third Master suddenly said at this moment.

Mu Qianli was a little surprised: “Didn’t Revered Master say last time that he would only return after ten years?”

“Why is it suddenly so soon this time?”

Third Master’s expression was quite steady as he explained, “The Yuan Calamity has been brought forward.”

“In just two years, the Yuan Calamity will arrive.”

“Revered Master and First Master returned early because of this matter.”

Mu Qianli’s brows instantly furrowed when she heard the words “Yuan Calamity,” and her expression also became quite solemn.

The Yuan Calamity, in the entire history of the Yuan Realm, had occurred a total of two times.

One time was during the Nine Ancestors Era.

And the second time occurred in the ancient era.

The arrival of both Yuan Calamities led to the annihilation of an entire era.

And two years later, it would be the third Yuan Calamity.

If, this time, the living beings of the entire era could not overcome it, it would mean the end of this era.

“So that’s how it is.”

“Revered Master and First Master have been searching for a way to resist the Yuan Calamity for so many years outside.”

“When they return in a year, there should be hope for the Yuan Realm to successfully pass this Yuan Calamity.” Mu Qianli trusted Revered Master and First Master very much.

But even so, there was still a hint of worry in her brows.

In contrast, Third Master's expression remained as calm as ever, showing almost no sign of worry.

He didn't answer Mu Qianli's words but changed the subject, “By the way, how was the wine I brought you last time?”

“The taste wasn’t bad, but it’s a pity there was only that one pot,” Mu Qianli said regretfully.

“Tomorrow, I’ll bring you a whole jar so you can properly study it.”

“I’m leaving.”

With that, Third Master’s figure left the Peach Blossom Forest.

Mu Qianli looked in the direction he disappeared, then continued to close her eyes.

...

River of Time.

As the birthplace of the Origin of Time, the River of Time has no end, like a white galaxy. The river flows from upstream to downstream, carrying rich Time Law.

If one wishes to walk on the River of Time, unless their cultivation is powerful enough, or they use a special Time Secret Treasure, they cannot withstand the surging impact of the River of Time’s water.

Third Master, who had left the Peach Blossom Forest, unexpectedly appeared above the River of Time.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked steadily step by step. The River of Time water beneath his feet did not ripple at all, as if he, as a person, had never existed from beginning to end.

Third Master walked to a tributary in the middle reaches and then unhurriedly stopped.

In front of him appeared a tall, thin old man in a simple long robe, his face full of the vicissitudes of life.

A celestial might emanated from him, completely overriding the Time Law, completely ignoring the impact of the River of Time’s water.

He stood there quietly, his gaze fixed on Third Master.

“I’ve been waiting a long time, Xuanyuan Ancestor.”

Third Master looked at the person in front of him, a slight smile on his lips, and said calmly.

Xuanyuan Tianhuan was a little surprised: “Oh? You knew I was waiting for you?”

Third Master nodded and said, “I knew, so I came.”

Xuanyuan Tianhuan couldn't help but exclaim, “Remarkable.”

“As expected of the Chess Immortal of the Yuan Realm, using all living beings as chess pieces to contend with Heaven!”

Third Master smiled faintly and said, “You flatter me.”

“Since you calculated that I was waiting for you here, do you know why I’m looking for you?” Xuanyuan Tianhuan asked again.

“You want to ask me how I resurrected Xuanyuan Heavenly Chen, right?” Third Master said calmly.

“Please enlighten Your Excellency,” Xuanyuan Tianhuan said, staring at him.

“Actually, the principle is very simple.”

“I went to the time before he died and forcibly stripped away half of his Origin Soul.”

“I changed the established fact that he had completely Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering back then.”

Third Master’s tone was very relaxed, as if he was talking about a matter that couldn’t be any smaller.

“Heaven-Defyingly changing fate will inevitably incur Heaven’s wrath!”

“Heavenly Dao cannot allow your actions!”

“But why aren’t you erased by Heavenly Dao?!” Xuanyuan Tianhuan asked with a solemn and serious expression.

This was what he understood the least.

Why was Third Master still alive and not erased by Heavenly Dao?!

“It can’t find me.”

“Or, to put it another way, It can’t kill me either,” Third Master said with a calm smile.

“Impossible!!”

“The Heavenly Dao consciousness is the supreme power of the Yuan Realm; there is no one it cannot erase!” Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s tone became somewhat agitated, stating with firm conviction.

Hearing Xuanyuan Tianhuan’s confident tone, Third Master’s expression remained unchanged, still as calm as an ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

He simply replied, “What you think is merely what you think.”

“Alright, what needed to be said has been said.”

“We’ll meet again.”

Third Master turned and walked calmly towards the upstream of the River of Time.

Xuanyuan Tianhuan watched Third Master’s departing back, and a celestial glow silently condensed in his palm.

Then, his gaze darkened, and he directly blasted the celestial glow in his hand towards Third Master’s body!
