Chapter 261: Rootless Broken Water 2

After resting, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, Li Wenqiang, Yang Shi, and Feng Xue left the space.

At this time, Shen Xu looked at Li Wenqiang and nodded.

"I can’t tell the difference." He said.

Hearing this, Li Wenqiang smiled before speaking.

"Unless we encounter an immortal, no one will be able to see through my identity." He said.

"It’s almost impossible to encounter an immortal in the cultivation world but we should still be careful." Feng Xue warned and the others nodded in understanding.

After that, the group left the cave and Shen Xu collected the setup before everyone went to the riverbank.

"I hope ten boats are enough." The double said in an uncertain voice.

"They should be." Feng Xue said.

"What’s there to worry about? Can’t we enter the space if we run out of boats mid-way?" Yang Shi questioned in an unconcerned voice.

Because Shen Xu and Xiaomu were not powerful enough, they couldn’t properly refine the earth-area space soil.

As a result, the earthen boats were imperfect and Shen Xu expected that each could only traverse less than twenty metres before disintegrating.

"Let’s go." Zhen Yuan reminded.

Soon after, the five boarded a boat and Zhen Yuan used his spiritual power to steer it into the river.

Almost immediately, the river churned.

Waves formed on the previously smooth surface and boiling bubbles appeared around the boat.

"I feel like I am sitting in a boiling pot." Yang Shi said and subconsciously shuddered.

At the same time, Zhen Yuan drove while using his spiritual sense to monitor the boat’s condition.

"It’s begun eroding." He said.

"Ayuan, focus on driving. I will be ready to change when the time comes."

"Good."

Sixteen metres later, Zhen Yuan frowned and Shen Xu waved his hand.

Instantaneously, another boat appeared and the five jumped into it; ditching the old one.

As before, Zhen Yuan drove and the others helped him monitor the boat and surroundings.

In this way, the group boated from one bank to the next, losing seven boats in the process.

"We may be the only people in the Yunshan secret realm who can cross this river." Shen Xu said, wiping a cold sweat from his forehead.

In the original book, Xiao Weimin and his harem never encountered the rootless broken water.

If they had, based on the treasures in their possession, they wouldn’t have been able to cross the river and would have been forced to turn back.

"Earth..." Feng Xue started but suddenly stopped.

A moment later, she gasped and pointed at the river.

"Look." She exclaimed.

Hearing this, the others turned around and also gasped.

Without their notice, the rootless broken water had inexplicably disappeared and the river had become a winding chasm.

At a glance, the chasm was darker than night but specks of colourful light radiated from the bottom.

"There is something at the bottom." Shen Xu exclaimed and excitedly turned to Zhen Yuan.

"Ayuan, did you read about this?" He asked but Zhen Yuan shook his head.

At the same time, he used his spiritual sense to explore the bottom of the chasm.

Less than thirty breaths later, he smiled and retracted his spiritual sense.

"It’s a good thing." He said.

"What is it?" Shen Xu asked in an eager voice.

"You will know when we go down." Zhen Yuan answered and without waiting for Shen Xu’s reaction, he took the double’s hand and jumped into the chasm.

Feeling the sudden weightlessness, Shen Xu panicked and desperately clutched his lover’s arm.

"I have got you." Zhen Yuan said, not reminding the double that they could both fly.

Now that the rootless broken water was gone, the chasm was just another pit; something not worth mentioning for a qi refining realm cultivator, let alone a spirit transformation realm powerhouse.

Soon after, the two landed on flat ground and Shen Xu exhaled in relief.

"You could have warned me." He complained, pinching Zhen Yuan’s waist.

"Yes, yes, it’s my fault." Zhen Yuan said in a doting voice.

Hearing this, Shen Xu snorted and stopped pinching Zhen Yuan in favour of looking around.

A moment later, he gasped and rushed forward.

"Ayuan, look, ..., it’s a colourful rootless water lily."

The flower was about one metre wide.

It had eighty-one petals and each petal radiated a colourful light and a cool, pure fragrance.

It looked sacred at a glance and exuded an ancient aura, untouched by the filth of the world.

"Put it away." Zhen Yuan reminded.

"Mmh." Shen Xu nodded and hurried to do so.

The colourful rootless water lily was an invaluable natural treasure.

Unfortunately, like other such treasures, the lily was extremely rare and few had ever seen it, let alone used it.

Thinking of this, Shen Xu suddenly frowned.

"Ayuan, shouldn’t this kind of treasure form a law pillar? Why didn’t you notice it?" He asked.

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan narrowed his eyes and answered.

"It has a law pillar but the pillar appeared after the rootless broken water disappeared." He said.

"This..." Shen Xu muttered with a thoughtful expression.

"Ayuan, could the rootless colourful water lily be formed from the rootless broken water?"

"I think so but I don’t know the conditions for its formation." Zhen Yuan said, looking a little troubled.

"It doesn’t matter." The double said and happily put away the jade box containing the treasure.

"A cultivator can refine nine petals at most. With eighty-one petals, we have enough for nine people."

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded.

However, he knew that refining the petals of the rootless colourful water lily was unlike refining most other treasures.

Even if one had nine petals, there was no guarantee they could refine them all.

Rather than quantity, what mattered most when refining the rootless colourful water lily was fate.

Without the corresponding fate and luck, most cultivators could only refine one or two petals.

"Yang Shi and the others are still waiting at the bank. Let’s go back." Shen Xu said.

"Okay."

Less than three breaths later, the two flew out of the chasm and met curious eyes.
