“Patriarch Yu, there won’t be any more accidents this time, will there?”
“Let’s hope not. It would be troublesome if some untouchable power came to compete with us again.”
After learning about the Daylight Star River, the Master of the Myriad Demons Sacred Palace said in a joking tone.
“There won’t be. This time, definitely not.”
“To be honest, we discovered this Daylight Star River completely by chance.”
“Our Yu Heavenly Clan has known about it for a thousand years. Quite a few of our younger generation have entered it to cultivate.”
“The results were all excellent. If a genius like Young Hero Chu Feng enters, he will surely gain something. Even if he cannot break through, it will still help his future breakthrough.”
“Most importantly, right now, apart from our Yu Heavenly Clan, it seems no one else knows this Daylight Star River still exists.”
“When we take Young Hero Chu Feng and the others to cultivate, absolutely no one will disturb us.”
The Patriarch of the Yu Heavenly Clan spoke with complete assurance.
“So it’s a secret cultivation ground your clan has been using for ages.”
“Patriarch Yu, you are being extraordinarily generous this time.”
“Rest assured, this lord will never take advantage of your Yu Heavenly Clan.”
“In the future, if my Myriad Demons Sacred Palace discovers a good cultivation place, we will certainly not forget your Yu Heavenly Clan.”
The Master of the Myriad Demons Sacred Palace replied.
“Although we have gathered because of Little Friend Chu Feng, this old man sincerely hopes the relationship we build today will last.”
“After all, the martial cultivation world is full of dangers. One more friend is always better than one more enemy.”
Afterwards, the Patriarch of the Dragon Clan and the Grand Elder of the Cloud Sky Immortal Sect also expressed that, should they discover secret grounds suitable for joint cultivation or joint exploration in the future, they would invite all the powers present today.
In an instant, these colossal forces that could summon wind and rain within the Sacred Light Galactic River had formed an alliance because of Chu Feng.
…
Once the decision was made, everyone set off immediately.
After travelling for some time, they finally arrived at the location of the Daylight Star River.
The Patriarch of the Yu Heavenly Clan had not lied. This was a desolate wasteland with no trace of human presence.
However, once they confirmed this was indeed the place, many people looked doubtful.
“Patriarch Yu, you’re not joking, are you?”
“You’re certain this is the Daylight Star River you spoke of?”
“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem right.”
The Master of the Myriad Demons Sacred Palace was straightforward and voiced his doubts directly.
This was a desert. Not even a single blade of wild grass grew here. Fierce winds howled constantly, and the heat was unbearable.
The sand was as hot as a heated pan. If you threw an egg onto it, the egg would cook instantly.
This place was clearly dangerous. Ordinary people could not step foot into the desert; they would be roasted alive.
No wonder no other cultivators were seen here. No one would willingly live in such a place.
Yet no matter how you looked at it, a river could never appear in such a location.
Much less the magnificent, breathtaking river the Patriarch had described.
“Don’t worry. It’s night now. You’ll understand when day comes.”
The Patriarch of the Yu Heavenly Clan said.
“Normally, the desert becomes even hotter during the day.”
“It’s already this hot at night. By day, it will probably turn into a hell on earth.”
“Let alone ordinary people, even weaker cultivators would not survive here.”
An elder from the Cloud Sky Immortal Sect also sounded doubtful.
“You will all see for yourselves when day arrives.”
The Patriarch of the Yu Heavenly Clan smiled faintly.
Seeing his confidence, everyone stopped questioning and instead grew expectant.
They all wanted to witness with their own eyes how this miraculous river would appear in such a terrifying desert.
Finally, light began to appear on the eastern horizon of the pitch-black wasteland.
Day had broken.
As the light spread, the raging winds across the desert gradually calmed.
The scorching heat of the desert also began to fade.
Soon, a section of the desert started to sink.
More accurately, a long strip of desert sank downwards.
Blinding light burst forth from the depression.
When the light faded, a surging river appeared on the surface of the desert.
The river flowed vigorously, wave after wave crashing down.
Yet the most miraculous part was that, despite the violent waves, the water was extraordinarily clear.
Within the clear water, what people saw was not sand, but starlight.
It was as though the Milky Way from the heavens had fallen into the desert, breathtakingly beautiful.
But this was daytime, so the starlight did not come from the sky. It was contained within the river itself.
Beautiful, extraordinarily beautiful.
Even seeing this star river in daylight was stunning.
If viewed at night, it would surely be even more magnificent.
Yet this starlight-filled river only appeared during the day.
“What a beautiful river. Patriarch Yu really didn’t deceive us.”
“I truly wonder what kind of supreme expert left behind such a divine marvel.”
Upon seeing the Daylight Star River, even experts like the Master of the Myriad Demons Sacred Palace and the Patriarch of the Dragon Clan could not help but exclaim in admiration.
This was the charm of the vast martial cultivation world.
There were always things they could not explain, ever-changing, mysterious, and captivating.
“Young Hero Chu Feng, everyone, take these pills. Only by swallowing them can you enter the undercurrent.”
“Remember, each pill only lasts one hour and cannot be taken repeatedly.”
“So your cultivation time this round is limited to one hour.”
The Patriarch of the Yu Heavenly Clan took out several pills that radiated an ancient aura.
These pills carried the same aura as the Daylight Star River.
Even the pills themselves were exquisite, shimmering with faint starlight.
The Patriarch handed the pills to Chu Feng, Long Xiaoxiao, Yu Hong, Yu Yin, Yin Daifen, Bao Yue, and the other juniors.
Although many juniors had come, only the most outstanding ones were qualified to enter and cultivate.
This was understandable; the heavenly energy within the undercurrent was limited.
Not wanting to waste time, Chu Feng took the pill and immediately entered the Daylight Star River.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoxiao, Yin Daifen, and the other juniors quickly followed and leapt in.
However, as they dived deeper and reached the depths of the Daylight Star River, their expressions all changed. Fear surged in the eyes of Yin Daifen and others.
They had seen the undercurrent of the Daylight Star River.
But now, the undercurrent was filled with nothing but white bones.
Countless skeletons filled the entire undercurrent.
A rough estimate suggested there were at least billions of them.
Moreover, almost none of the skeletons were intact. Nearly all had been torn apart.
Just looking at these bones, one could imagine how tragic the deaths of these beings must have been.
