Chapter 959: Chapter 959: The River of Beiming

Su Chengyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I would like to have it, but unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of fortune."

"Then how do you know about the Earth Core Lotus?" Yang Junmo asked with suspicion.

Su Chengyu nudged his chin in Chen Mengmeng’s direction and said, "Heard it from him."

Su Chengyu then recounted what Chen Mengmeng had told him about Nine Peaks Mountain and the Liyuan Cave Heaven.

"Based on Mengmeng’s words and my own experiences, it’s clear that you’re the so-called Number Six."

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Yang Junmo no longer tried to deny it.

"Alright, I admit defeat. Let me guess, you must be Number Three, right?"

Chen Mengmeng’s identity wasn’t hard to guess based on their previous chat logs; only four people had entered the Kunwu Realm: Number Three Chen Mengmeng, Number Four Bei Tang Qian Xiao, Number Five, and Number Six Yang Junmo.

Of course, they were unaware of Su Chengyu, the hidden Number Seven.

The identity of Number Five, Su Chengyu speculated, was most likely his sister, Yu Shuang.

In Yang Junmo’s eyes, among the four who had entered the Kunwu Realm, two men and two women, Chen Mengmeng was the most likely to be Number Three.

Chen Mengmeng, being an honest person, did not lie and simply nodded in admission.

"That’s great, don’t you have the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart that allows your words to follow law? Give me one."

Yang Junmo said eagerly.

"Say that your Diaochan is on your waist?" Chen Mengmeng asked.

"Let’s not, I was just joking. If it’s tangled on my waist, would it still be useful? Just say that I’ll be able to sleep with all the beautiful women in the world in the future," Yang Junmo replied.

This guy Yang Junmo, always had women on his mind.

"That kind of thing is useless; it’s impossible to achieve."

"Aren’t you supposed to have words that follow law?" Yang Junmo pouted.

"Enough, don’t trouble Mengmeng anymore," said Su Chengyu as he pulled Yang Junmo away. At that moment, a beam of light shot up from Sky Piercing Peak, piercing the clouds and reaching straight into the sky.

"The barrier is open."

With the barrier opening, the Sky Piercing Trial officially began.

Trialists, who had been waiting outside Sky Piercing Peak, swarmed towards the peak, trying to gain the upper hand.

The party from Mount Qingcheng, now joined by Xu Nanzhi and Yang Junmo, also flew together into Sky Piercing Peak.

But unexpectedly, there was still a barrier on Sky Piercing Peak, and as a flash of light crossed everyone’s vision, they were randomly teleported to some corner of the peak.

Upon opening his eyes, Su Chengyu realized he was surrounded by other trialists, but none were his companions.

Inside Sky Piercing Peak, Divine Sense was suppressed, making it difficult to search a large area.

After entering Sky Piercing Peak, other trialists scattered to search for opportunities.

Since everyone had already split up, Su Chengyu was not in a hurry and strolled through Sky Piercing Peak at his leisure.

Ahead was a small river flowing. The water appeared black, with faint black smoke rising from it, enveloping the river and giving it an eerie appearance.

Someone had reached the riverbank ahead of the others and a corpse came floating downstream—it was only a skeleton now.

The skeleton was as white as jade, marked with numerous dense runes, glowing faintly.

"This is the corpse of a Land Immortal after death. It must contain the Land Immortal’s cultivation method and may even hold an inheritance," said a knowledgeable person by the riverbank. He immediately unleashed Divine Skills to grab the skeleton.

The moment the person caught hold of the skeleton, he showed a look of joy, but then a sudden change occurred.

The previously calmly flowing river suddenly surged wildly, forming a water dragon.

The water dragon surged forward, and this trialist, a high-tier Martial Saint, had no power to fight back. He was swept away by the water dragon and fell into the river, vanishing without a trace like a clay oxen into the sea.

The other trialists were all startled by the sight.

From a distance, Su Chengyu also witnessed this scene and furrowed his brow.

"Everyone be careful, there’s something odd about this river."

Su Chengyu didn’t rashly reach out to grab the skeleton either, for it didn’t hold much attraction for him.

But there were always those who couldn’t help themselves, and as they saw the skeleton about to drift away, someone else made a move, throwing an artifact in an attempt to capture the skeleton.

The river churned again, coalescing into a water dragon.

The person desperately spurred their artifact while launching a punch at the water dragon.

This individual, a Martial Arts Supreme, was indeed capable of entangling with the water dragon, but their sacrificed artifact couldn’t withstand the corrosion of the black river water and gradually lost its luster.

He was struck, and his left arm was contaminated with the black river water, corroding at a visible rate into pus and blood.

He screamed in agony and, making a swift decision, chopped off his left arm, thus preventing the corrosion from claiming his entire body.

His severed arm was completely eroded into nothingness in an instant.

"What a potent water."

Su Chengyu couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

"Could this be the legendary Northern Dark Sea Water from the extreme north?"

Someone among the riverside trialists exclaimed in shock.

Reminded by this person, Su Chengyu also felt it was very likely.

Legend had it that the seawater from the extreme Northern Dark Sea was black and contained a deadly poison with strong corrosive properties, capable of eroding flesh and artifacts. Even very powerful cultivators couldn’t withstand it.

"The Kunwu Immortal is truly formidable, to have drawn so much of the Northern Dark Sea Water and create a Northern Dark River within the Kunwu Realm. It seems that the treasures within this river are not easily obtained."

If this skeleton could float in the Northern Dark Sea Water, then it must indeed be the remains of a Land Immortal.

Even the skeletons of Hollow Realm powerhouses would be dissolved and corroded in the Northern Dark Sea Water.

No one dared to act recklessly anymore, and could only watch helplessly as the skeleton drifted away.

The greatest goal for Su Chengyu entering the Sky Piercing Peak was to procure an Immortal Artifact. As for other treasures, his interest wasn’t that great, and there was no need to take unnecessary risks.

He walked along the river for a while, and there were always some treasures floating down from upstream. There were always those who, out of greed, tried to retrieve them.

Some lost their lives in the process, while others, relying on their own abilities, did manage to obtain treasures from the river.

Seeing that some people flew over the Northern Dark River without issue, Su Chengyu also crossed over by flying.

There were prohibitions within the Northern Dark River, and as soon as one attempted to retrieve treasures from the river, they would trigger the prohibitions and come under attack.

But if one didn’t reach for the treasures, nothing would happen.

Su Chengyu continued his exploration, and along the way saw trialists fighting fiercely with each other, either over treasures or for precious natural resources.

There were indeed no shortage of precious natural resources in the Sky Piercing Peak; Su Chengyu also obtained several plants that were nearly extinct in the outside world.

In the Sky Piercing Peak, there were not only treasures and benefits, but also many hidden dangers.

Su Chengyu personally witnessed a trialist, who suddenly triggered some prohibition while walking, scream miserably and was struck dead by a thunderbolt.

There were also those who, while walking, suddenly went mad and began to slaughter other trialists.

The trials in the Kunwu Realm were brutal, and those with insufficient strength could die at any moment.

Those who could eventually walk out of the Kunwu Realm alive were the cream of the crop and carried fortune with them.

And the dangers within the Sky Piercing Trial were even greater compared to the rest of the Kunwu Realm.

With his current strength, Su Chengyu had to be especially careful as he moved through the region of the Sky Piercing Peak, so as to not inadvertently trigger any prohibitions.
