Going to the fifth grade tributary wasn't just to find imperial path spirit roots for the Stone Puppet Emperor. If it was just that, the Stone Puppet Emperor would feel bad. After all, putting everyone in danger for his own benefit wasn't something a friend would do. The greater the danger, the greater the wealth.
There were many treasures on the Celestial River.
The first was the Celestial River Islands. As long as they found the islands, no matter what was on them, the trip wouldn't have been in vain. If they were lucky, they might even find rare ancient spirit herbs.
The second was the Celestial River Water Monster.
The Celestial River Water Monster was both a danger and an opportunity. Its essence blood could be used to strengthen the body and improve the spirit body. It could also be used to refine medicines. Its Neidan was a treasure. A primary Neidan was worth ten million source stones. A middle Neidan was worth one billion source stones. This was mainly because the Neidan of the Celestial River Water Monster was very pure and could continuously replenish one's energy. It was much faster and more convenient than absorbing energy from source stones.
The third was the unique treasures of the Celestial River.
These treasures came in all shapes and sizes. Some could be a mystical piece of metal, some could be a piece of wood, and some could even be a huge leaf.
While it might sound unremarkable, the people who had obtained these treasures all greatly valued them.
The Celestial River traversed the entire universe with countless tributaries. A month later, Ye Chen's group arrived at a fifth grade tributary.
From far away, Ye Chen could see the boundless Sky River. This fifth grade Sky River Tributary was immeasurably long, wide, and thick. It was like a prehistoric white dragon as it floated there. The white river water flowed without a sound, tranquil, and without ripples.
The Stone Puppet Emperor said, "Looking at the Celestial River from the outside is different from entering it. The inside of the Celestial River is a world of its own. Once you get close, you'll be sucked in. You can't see the outside world from the Celestial River, but you can see the blue sky, white clouds, and the sun. Of course, there are also the fierce beasts and water monsters that live in the Celestial River."
"In order to come to the Celestial River, I modified the Scarlet Wind."
The Scarlet Wind Emperor waved his hand and a giant ship appeared.
Looking closely, one could see that the giant ship was very similar to the Scarlet Wind Ship. Only the bow was modified with a deck, and the stern was modified with a cabin in the middle.
The modification wouldn't affect the performance of the ship. Otherwise, the Scarlet Wind Emperor wouldn't be willing to do it. After all, the Scarlet Wind Ship was an Emperor Class Warship that couldn't be bought with money.
Whoosh!
The five of them flew onto the deck of the Scarlet Wind Battleship. Under the control of the Scarlet Wind Emperor, the Scarlet Wind Battleship rapidly flew toward the Celestial River.
Huala!
The sound of waves crashing against each other could be heard as the Scarlet Wind landed steadily on the surface of the Heavenly River.
Raising his head again, Ye Chen couldn't see the starry sky anymore. Between heaven and earth, there was only a vast expanse of whiteness. Their luck wasn't good. The place they appeared in had a mist, which could absorb soul power. Even Ye Chen's soul power could only reach a few hundred meters. Any further and it would be beyond his reach.
"Damn, it's the Heavenly River Mist."
The Scarlet Wind Emperor cursed.
The mist above the Heavenly River was naturally formed by the river water. The water of the Heavenly River was originally able to absorb Soul Strength and block detection. Even after turning into mist, the effect was still the same.
"Let's get out of this fog first."
The Snow Air Emperor reminded.
"En!"
The Scarlet Wind Emperor nodded and controlled the Scarlet Wind to increase its speed.
Traveling on the Heavenly River was thousands of times slower than traveling in the universe. Even after half a day had passed, they were still unable to walk out of the fog. Instead, they were gradually going deeper into it.
"Oh no!" The Stone Statue Emperor frowned, "This fog covers a large area. Without ten days to half a month, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out."
"Let me evaporate this fog."
The Fire Sparrow Emperor stood at the front of the ship. Suddenly, she puffed up her mouth. Boom! A sky-high flame wave shot out from her mouth, turning into a fire dragon that wreaked havoc.
"Please don't …"
The Stone Statue Emperor couldn't stop her in time.
Chi! Chi!
Chi! A large amount of fog was evaporated. However, the phoenix flame that could turn everything into nothingness couldn't do anything to the fog of the Heavenly River. Instead, it made the fog thicker and thicker. In the end, besides the deck, it was so dark that one couldn't even see their fingers. Even with Ye Chen's soul power, he could only detect a few meters away from the deck.
"What's going on?"
The Fire Sparrow Emperor hurriedly closed her mouth.
The Stone Man Emperor explained with a wry smile, "I forgot to remind you, as soon as the water leaves the surface of the river, it will immediately turn into mist. Although your phoenix fire evaporated a lot of the mist, it also pulled up the water below, causing the mist to become thicker and thicker."
Ye Chen frowned and suddenly said, "Then, the fog before wasn't formed naturally. There was some kind of ripple that formed it."
"Right." The Stone Statue Emperor nodded, "Maybe there was a great battle between the water monsters. Or maybe it's the Heavenly River's turbulence that happens every once in a while."
"Since we're already here, let's just go in one direction!"
Facing this kind of situation, there was no way to solve it quickly.
…
Inside the Heavenly River, no one knew the time. Using the chronograph, they knew that a week had passed.
In this week, they didn't encounter any water monsters. In the fifth rank tributary, the chance of water monsters appearing was relatively low. Otherwise, there wouldn't be many people here. At least, without the power of a high-level King, no one would dare to come here.
As the fog was getting thinner and thinner, and they were about to leave this area, trouble came.
Boom!
A huge black shadow suddenly rushed up from the bottom of the river and knocked the Scarlet Wind Ship away. Waves swept across the sky, and the fog thickened again.
"Not good."
The Scarlet Wind Emperor reacted quickly and hurriedly controlled the Scarlet Wind Ship to hover in the air.
Standing on the ship's railing, everyone looked down. The river below was overflowing, and a black head popped out. This head was only the tip of the iceberg, but it was already a thousand times bigger than the Scarlet Wind Ship. Its huge eyes were like two small stars, flickering with a bloodthirsty light. Its mouth was very long, a bit like a crocodile's. There were three rows of teeth inside, and each tooth was dozens of times bigger than the Scarlet Wind Ship.
With just a glance, they could feel an extremely tyrannical prehistoric beast's aura rushing over, shaking their minds.
"This is a mid-tier water monster, the Fear Beast."
The Stone Statue Emperor was very knowledgeable, and he immediately recognized the water monster.
The Heavenly River's water monsters were also divided into tiers. From weak to strong, they were low-tier water monsters, mid-tier water monsters, high-level water monsters, peak-tier water monsters, pseudo-tier water monsters, super-tier water monsters, super-tier water monsters, super-tier water monsters …
Normally, low-tier water monsters were equivalent to low-tier King Warriors, mid-tier King Warriors were equivalent to mid-tier King Warriors, and behind them were high-level King Warriors, peak-tier King Warriors, Quasi Venerable Warriors, Supreme Venerable Warriors, and powerful Supreme Venerable Warriors.
A mid-tier water monster was already so big. It wasn't hard to imagine how big the water monsters behind it would be.
