Chapter 227: Chapter 224: Meeting on the River of Time! (Combined 4000 words)_2

The next moment, a radiance flew out from that slender figure’s body, flowing upstream.

Bolt after bolt of thunder appeared, striking directly down, stirring layers of ripples in the River of Time, attempting to grind away that glimmer of light.

The brilliance grew ever slower, ever dimmer, almost at a standstill, but ultimately it arrived at the era where Liang Hui was.

In an instant, it slit the throat of the Witch God, revealing its emerald green spider carcass.

"Why?" In those nine spider eyes, there was confusion, why was the person who appeared the one to strike it first.

Boom!

The spider carcass turned to ash, the light completely faded.

An object hard to observe with the naked eye slowly approached Liang Hui, stood still before the Eternal Radiance; it was a strand of purple hair.

Liang Hui fell silent for a moment, his palm reaching out to receive that strand of purple hair.

"It’s his scent, but you... after all, aren’t... him!"

A soft sigh spread through endless time and space.

A pair of eyes crossed time, looking at the youth, or rather, the Flowing Light Bell above his head.

"I am just me, Liang Hui!" Above the youth’s head, the Flowing Light Bell was gradually dimming, trembling continuously as if trying to leave.

Liang Hui let go of his control over the bell, his expression calm.

"Once forged.. a powerful weapon, I didn’t expect... to still be able... to see it."

The woman’s intermittent soft laughter was being transmitted.

And with that, the Flowing Light Bell became quiet as well.

The lighthearted laughter stopped, and her gaze towards the youth turned serious.

"Little....."

Boom!

Endless bolts of lightning struck instantaneously, splattering droplets of blood on the slender figure.

The figure standing in the middle of the River of Time was sinking continuously.

Roar!

An eternal radiance burgeoned on the figure, the light containing the birth and death of all heavens, the kneeling of myriad spirits, as if an emperor was awakening.

This radiance was too brilliant, repelling the thunder, piercing the fog.

"Small... great...."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The thunder suddenly intensified, completely smashing the slender figure into the River of Time.

At this moment, only Liang Hui was looking at the ever-flowing great river and the Flowing Light Bell suspended above it.

In his mind, he remembered the visage that was revealed as the fog lifted momentarily.

’I didn’t expect it to be you who showed up—Song Xi!’

The youth murmured to himself.

Plus, from the brief exchange just now, he didn’t get a few pieces of information.

’He’ disappeared, or rather, someone from the Divine Court cannot be found.

So who then was the figure he saw at the end of the Five Elements path when he entered the Tao?

Liang Hui was also a bit perplexed for a time; the calculations in his heart had errors, needing rethinking.

Whoosh~

A breath of foul air expelled, Liang Hui cut through the confusion in his heart.

Regardless, only when one becomes strong themselves is it the right thing to do, no schemes can outweigh upright and honest power.

The river flowing around the youth was also gradually disappearing.

Soon, Liang Hui was back in the void, looking at the pitch-black emptiness.

He turned around!

He left the void and arrived at the place where the Witch God Sect was.

After a careful investigation, he confirmed there was not the slightest sign of life.

He sat down directly on the ground, with a strand of purple hair emerging between his fingers.

This bit of hair looked very ordinary, aside from its color, much like a normal woman’s hair.

But Liang Hui knew this was impossible; given the strength of the person who could make a move from within the River of Time, it was just that he could not detect anything special in the hair.

Moreover, the youth did not use the Flowing Light Bell to investigate; he didn’t think the bell could detect anything, maybe a contingency plan.

Suddenly, a radiance started flowing on the strand of hair.

"Song Xi? Can I.. save..." A soft whisper entered the youth’s mind, seemingly reminding him of something?

The Flowing Light Bell on one side also vibrated slightly.

Liang Hui’s eyes looked deep as he observed the bell floating next to him and the strand of hair with flowing radiance in his palm.

At that moment, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of safety.

With a thought, a Jade Coffin appeared on the ground, and inside lay a supremely beautiful woman draped in a purple robe, lying quietly with her hands folded on her chest.

She looked as if asleep, yet not a trace of vitality could be felt.

At this moment, the radiance in the hair sped up its flow.

The youth stretched out his hand, moving towards the direction of the Jade Coffin.

Suddenly.

His palm exerted force, the gray that could annihilate the world blossomed in his palm, intending to grind away the strand of purple hair.

"I think, I can save her myself, no need for your trouble to reach out."

At this moment, the radiance in the purple hair clearly paused.

"You really do resemble him."

Bang!

Without struggle, without resistance, the hair broke instantaneously, turning to ash.

His palm released, watching the falling dust.

The figure disappeared on the spot.

...

For over half a month,

Liang Hui fought across countless mountains and rivers in the southern barbarian lands,

Even with the Witch God Sect’s beheading and the extinction of forces like Black Flame Cave, the journey was anything but peaceful.

The chasm between the southern barbarians and the people of the Fourteen States was too deep.

Bloodshed pervaded, and battles were incessant.

One by one, the native barbarians fell at his feet, including the weak and the strong.

Finally, today, after half a month, with one man, one sword, one spear, he subdued thirty-six caves.

No! Now, they should be called the twenty-three caves.

Liang Hui stood atop the mountains, with twenty-three figures standing behind him.

Each one emitted a formidable aura, even the weakest possessing the strength of the pinnacle of entering the Taoist path.

"Tidy up, let’s head to Tuzhou."

The voice was gentle but made the twenty-three figures behind him tremble slightly.

"Yes, Divine Emperor Your Majesty."

Liang Hui nodded, not paying too much attention to the reactions of the people behind him.

His palm gently caressed the Taoist Sword at his waist.

"After getting ready, take Azure Sea Cave as the leader and let’s go together."

"Let’s go now!"

Liang Hui waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to leave.

One by one, the figures respectfully bowed and departed.

Soon, only the Azure Sea Cave Master remained behind him.

"Make them reach Tuzhou as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, I understand."

"Right, remember to bring those two children to Tuzhou."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of joy crossed the Azure Sea Cave Master’s face, but it quickly disappeared.

A slight nod of his forehead, and he vanished from the mountains.

The hot breeze blew, fluttering the young man’s clothes.

Liang Hui’s gaze remained fixed on the north, his eyes weary.

He was tired. Since his breakthrough in the spirit veins, from Zhou to Chu, from Chu to the southern barbarians, he was always on the move, cultivating, fighting.

Fortunately, now that many forces of the south had submitted, he could rest for a while.

A flash of golden light, and Hoo Bai with its golden bones, appeared by the side of the youth, affectionately rubbing against Liang Hui’s clothes.

Its change in appearance was due to the battles over the past half-month, as most of the flesh and bones of the native barbarians and Exotic Beasts had been fed to it.

Now, Hoo Bai had the strength to fight against the top-level experts like the Aberrant Cult Master.

Liang Hui reached out and touched the golden tiger head.

"Protect me, kill any creature that approaches!"

Roar!

Hoo Bai nodded, leaped down the mountain, and disappeared into the clouds.

Liang Hui swung his arm, and a luxurious palace appeared on top of the mountains.

With a pleased look on his face, he walked towards the palace.

He lay directly on the bed.

He closed his eyes and slowly drifted into sleep.

His spirit entered an unprecedented state of relaxation.

This rest lasted four days.

When he opened his eyes again, the turbulence and killing had turned to gentleness.

The fatigue deep in his eyes had also dissipated.

Ha!

The young man chuckled softly, feeling more spirited than ever.

"Yuanyang Cult, Demon Spirit Sect, Dingchan Temple, Great Zhou, I’m coming for you!"

He threw off the covers, his figure turning into a sword light, speeding towards the north.

Manzhou, Jiaozhou, Chuzhou—millions of miles of mountains and rivers passed by in his view.

...

Tuzhou, Beast Taming Sect.

At this moment, the sect gate had undergone a great transformation.

In clusters, luxurious palaces stood upon the mountains.

Several rivers shone with dazzling brilliance, flowing through the mountains like silver belts.

On both sides of the water, precious herbs were planted, each radiating its own glow.

At the same time, a fog of exotic fragrance filled the space, adding a sacred touch to the rivers and the sect gate.

Powerful auras emanated within the sect gate, interweaving and enveloping the entire Vault of Heaven.

On the right side of the sect gate, there were several figures dressed in Yuanyang Taoist Robes sitting in meditation.

A towering figure was the leader among them, waiting quietly.

Several miles away from the Yuanyang Cult, several figures sat, their eyes inexplicably fixed in the direction of the Yuanyang Cult Master and others.
