The Dynasty River was a renowned water vein of the World beyond Worlds.
It originated from the central Jun Heaven Territory's Screen Moat Snow Mountain, and it headed southeast, passing through the central Jun Heaven Territory and southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
In the battle of Circumference Mountain that year, Yan Zhaoge had shocked the world. It was precisely this river vein that he had established the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, trapping and slaying three late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints.
After that battle, even though Yan Zhaoge had returned to the southeast, no longer having set foot in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
Still, the martial practitioners of Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope had not dared to take a single step into Circumference Mountain for many years before the Southern Exalt had returned.
It was not just Circumference Mountain. Wherever the Dynasty River flowed within the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, the martial practitioners of Wutong Slope had all evacuated.
The entire eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had virtually become Yan Zhaoge's tacit territory.
Without the Yellow River of Nine Bends Formation, the Dynasty River itself was a natural moat for many people.
The surface of the river was vast as the sea, the momentum of its waters shocking such that even Immortal Bridge Martial Saints would find it hard to stand firm within.
Even an Exalted Martial Saint with a Human Immortal Body would find it difficult to stop it.
But today, someone had done it.
A Martial Saint.
Right after the Dynasty River left the Screen Moat Snowy Mountain, the river channel had just widened, the flow of the water had slowed down slightly, and it wasn't as rapid as its source. Between the heavens and the earth, a Fire Phoenix was currently flapping its wings.
The entire sky was illuminated into a fiery red.
The Fire Phoenix was like a transparent light and shadow. In the center of the light and shadow, there was a figure shrouded in rainbow light.
A handsome man with snowy white hair and brows was none other than the Southern Exalt, Zhuang Shen.
He looked down at the rushing river below.
Wutong Slope's two great elders, Zhang Shuren and Peng He, as well as the most outstanding successor of the younger generation, Yuan Xiancheng, had perished because of this water vein.
Zhuang Shen raised his head and looked in the direction of the river. His gaze seemed to pierce through space and time, landing on Circumference Mountain.
Without saying a word, he took out a jade box and opened it.
Inside the jade box was a patch of yellow soil. As Zhuang Shen moved, it fell towards the river below.
The soil did not disperse upon contact with water. Instead, it grew on its own and expanded continuously, looking like a yellow cloud.
There was more and more soil, and as the volume spread, it didn't become thinner. Instead, it remained tough and dense, unassailable.
In the end, the yellow soil directly filled up the entire Dynasty River, as if reclaiming the sea to create land. It forcefully blocked the wide and boundless Dynasty River!
The water of the Dynasty River was extremely violent and rapid, and this place was close to the source of the Screen Moat Snowy Mountain, so the water was even more abundant.
The river of the Chao Dynasty, which had its way blocked, suddenly swelled up. As it rushed forward, it spread to the banks on both sides, forming a dam that was about to burst.
But the hazy yellow soil didn't retreat but advanced instead, and it actually forcefully resisted the Dynasty River as it surged towards the source of the Screen Moat Snowy Mountain.
Along the way, the rising river water was also blocked by the yellow soil that spread out like smoke.
No matter how much water flowed out, the soil would grow even more, following the movement, not allowing the water to be exposed at all.
In the end, they actually blocked all the way to the source of Dynasty River on Screen Moat Snowy Mountain.
A great river that flowed through the World beyond Worlds was forcibly obstructed at its source.
At this moment, the entire Screen Moat Snowy Mountain and the continuous mountain range were trembling slightly, and it seemed like the earth was quaking.
But the soil firmly sealed the mouth of the river.
Within the sky, the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen who was enveloped by the silhouette of a fiery phoenix slowly exhaled as he saw this.
He, or rather, they, had limited time.
If things dragged on for too long, while the soil would be able to block the mouth of the river, the spiritual qi circulation of the earth veins around the central Jun Heaven Territory's Screen Moat Snowy Mountain would definitely be thrown into complete chaos. At that time, it would bring a calamity to the central Jun Heaven Territory.
The Earth Exalt who had handed the jade box over to Zhuang Shen would definitely not be happy to see such a thing.
"Success or failure will be decided today," Zhuang Shen kept the empty jade box, no longer looking at the shaking Screen Moat Snowy Mountain as he turned and flew towards the southeast.
Before long, he saw a person standing in mid-air, waiting for him.
The Western Exalt, Lang Qing.
Seeing Zhuang Shen, Lang Qing said, "Everyone else has already set off. We are the only ones left."
"With the Breath Soil successfully blocking the Dynasty River, the water vein of the Dynasty River in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory will soon dry up," Zhuang Shen said, "That Yan Family scum will no longer be able to establish that Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."
The soil within the jade box was a divine soil known as the Breath Soil. It could grow on its own, never decreasing in consumption.
In pre-Great Calamity times, there had been a treasure known as the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, also known as the Earlier Heaven Breath Soil. Its defensive power was shocking as it could withstand the attacks of various treasures and supreme martial arts, possessing countless miraculous uses and variations.
Following the Great Calamity, this treasure had been lost, with only the Later Heaven Breath Soil existing in this world.
While it did not possess those miraculous, miraculous variations and uses, it was the bane of all water beneath the heavens.
After having cut off the Dynasty River with this Breath Soil, Zhuang Shen headed south alongside the Western Exalt Lang Qing.
Their target was the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, the Royal Reed Sea!
… …
As time passed, the Southeastern Swordsmistress who had originally been patrolling the area where the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory intersected quickly realised that something was wrong with the situation in the Dynasty River.
The surging river first slowed unceasingly before its water level dropped unceasingly.
As time went by, there was actually the possibility of its flow being cut off.
The Southeastern Swordsmistress immediately felt that this was not natural, instead being man-made.
At this time, at this place, in this situation, the other party's target was unquestionably Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain.
At the same time, this also included the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie who was assisting Broad Creed Mountain and those of Golden Court Mountain.
Decisively, the Southeastern Swordsmistress hurried over to Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea.
After being reminded of this by the Southeastern Swordsmistress, Yan Zhaoge and Cao Jie exchanged glances before Cao Jie said, "It should be the work of Southern Zhuang and the others."
"It is fine." Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "We have only lost a path of retreat. Since our sect is holding its opening ceremony in the Royal Reed Sea, this would be the main battlefield should something happen."
Because of this, Broad Creed Mountain had even already urged many small and mid-sized sects of the Royal Reed Sea to temporarily retreat along with the commoners of the mundane world, lest they be caught in the crossfire.
"It looks like there will indeed be unwelcome guests coming today," Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm.
After receiving the news, Broad Creed Mountain regained its calm after a brief uproar.
Everything was still progressing in an orderly manner.
As time passed, the seats were filled with guests as the auspicious hour approached.
Broad Creed Mountain's official opening ceremony in the World beyond Worlds was about to begin.
It was just that as time passed, a more serious problem than the Dynasty River's flow being cut off appeared.
One of the World beyond Worlds' Five Emperors, the Brocade Emperor, who had previously agreed to come to Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea to observe the ceremony, still had yet to appear.
At this moment, anxiety truly arose within the hearts of many Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners.
Even the Golden Court Mountain martial practitioners grew uneasy.
Looking at the representative of Ingenious Flying Peak, Yan Zhaoge saw that he too was puzzled, embarrassed and anxious.
As his father Yan Di gazed over, father and son exchanged gazes, both their expressions rather strange.
It was just like when they had gone to the Minor No Hatred dao arena back then. It seemed like they had been stood up by that bigwig again?
