Inside the Wu Family's courtyard, dozens of envoys from Tianzong City's families gathered to congratulate Su Teng.
The Family Su also displayed their current strength. Experts who had reached the peak of the Qi Eater realm purposely released their auras to show off their might as kings. This night was the happiest night for the Family Su in years.
"Fang 'er, you're leaving Tianzong City for Tianmen Province?"
They partied until late at night. Dawn was about to arrive.
At this moment, Su Teng and Su Junyan were in a drunken stupor in the corridor of the Su Family's inner courtyard. When they heard that Su Fang was going to the Heaven's Gate Prefecture, and that it would be dawn, the two of them were astonished.
Su Junyan said, "If you rely on yourself to get to Tianmen Province, it will take at least three months. There will be many dangers along the way, especially the Yuzui River. That is the only way to Tianmen Province. After crossing the Yuzui River, there is another world. There are many demonic beasts that even cultivators have trouble dealing with. There is also the Nightmare Cave. Once you reach there, you will be in Tianmen Province."
Yuzui River
Nightmare Cave
These worlds were unknown to mortals, but Su Fang was no stranger to them. He had heard the Family Su's warriors talk about these two places since he was young.
The Yuzui River was a dangerous place. There were piranhas living in the river. Mortals could only swim to cross the river, but most of them became food for the piranhas.
As for the Nightmare Cave
That was a special fortress. Because it was built by the Elysium Prefecture, there were experts from the Elysium Saint Emperor overseeing that world. There was a powerful cave master who was an Emperor of a region. It was said that that place was incomparably dangerous.
If mortals wanted to cultivate, they would have to follow the rules set by Tianmen Province. A test would be held every three years. Then, the envoys would personally take the seedlings who passed the test to Tianmen Province. Thus, they would not encounter any danger.
But if a person wanted to go to Tianmen Province, they would have to walk.
"Uncle Yan, I will be careful. If it really doesn't work, I will come back."
In order to not worry the two elders, he could only give himself a way out.
Come back.
He was the kind of person who would not easily give up until he achieved his goal.
"Child, you've been tough since you were young, just like your father."
Su Teng suddenly hugged Su Fang's head, his eyes moist. "Back then, I should have been the one to attend the Heavenly Gates Prefecture's gathering. In the end, your father replaced me and took away the Falling Moon Blade in the middle of the night. You have the same temperament as your father. Once you have decided on something, no one can change it.
Su Fang looked at Su Teng quietly, as if he was his own child.
"Sky Gate Prefecture was built by the Holy Emperor of Sky Gate. I've heard that this man has been cultivating for a thousand years, but no one has ever seen him. Although Sky Gate Prefecture is a holy land of cultivation that everyone yearns for, the conditions for cultivation there are very difficult. Everyone who enters must reach a certain realm within a set time, or else they will be ruthlessly driven out. Only the fittest can survive. After going through layers of selection, very few people can continue to cultivate in Sky Gate Prefecture, such as your uncle, uncle Yan, and your father. We were all driven out helplessly. In Tianzong City, no one has been able to cultivate in Sky Gate Prefecture for more than twenty years, and no one can stay in Sky Gate Prefecture forever.
"In your eyes, Tianmen Province is too competitive. Ordinary people can't get cultivation resources at all. The probability of advancing to the Flesh Body Realm is less than one percent. Lu Mingxiong, the head of the Lu Family, did advance to the Flesh Body Realm, but he still left Tianmen Province. Therefore, that place is not the holy land that you think it is, but hell. However, cultivating in Tianmen Province will also bring you a lot of benefits. You can see what a real immortal is like, and you can see all kinds of strange Big Goblin."
At this point, Su Teng was unable to recover from the memories of the past for a long time.
Su Fang was also in a daze. He didn't expect that Tianmen Province was also a place that required hard work.
Su Teng said earnestly and reluctantly, "Fang 'er, especially your Immortal Thorn Armor, don't let others know about it. In Tianmen Province, it's not easy for a Flesh Body Realm cultivator to get a magic treasure. Moreover, the cultivators there are all murderers and robbers. The journey there will be difficult. Uncle believes that you will enter Tianmen Province as you wish."
"Uncle Yan, Uncle, I will take my leave now."
Su Fang lowered his head, turned around, and walked towards the courtyard.
"Fang 'er, take care."
Su Teng and Su Junyan chased after him. However, when they reached the Wu Family's gate, Su Fang was nowhere to be seen.
"Mother, Grandfather, I will definitely bring Father back the next time I come back."
Purple Qi Mountain
Su Fang had just climbed over the last mountain. He turned around and looked at the distant tombs. With reluctance and courage, he immediately walked towards the vast mountain range in front of him.
He only brought a package, a water bag, and a sharp sword.
The package contained the treasures left behind by Yang Yizhen, a few days' worth of rations, and a set of spare clothes.
The sky gradually brightened. When he turned back, Purple Qi Mountain was only the size of a fist.
Su Fang also completely let go of his speed. He used the power of a Great Perfection Stage cultivator. The speed he released was like a cheetah running deep in the mountains.
Furthermore, a Great Perfection Stage cultivator had many advantages. For example, he didn't need to eat for a few days. He also didn't feel hungry. His hearing, vision, and senses could sense the movements around him. This way, he could avoid encountering wild beasts.
Unknowingly, more than a month passed.
"It's a pity that there are only Qi Eater Realm cultivation techniques in Tianzong City. If there are Flesh Body Realm cultivation techniques, I can enter the Flesh Body Realm."
A giant beast stood on top of a mountain peak in the middle of the mountains.
In the evening, Su Fang was condensing his Qi. His dantian had a large amount of Spirit Qi. Even his right hand felt full of energy.
After the Qi Transformation Cultivation, all the energy in his body was pure Spirit Qi.
Now, he was just one step away from condensing Spirit Qi and entering the Flesh Body Realm.
Only with Spirit Qi could he activate the Immortal Thorn Armor and other treasures.
"With my speed, I should be reaching Fish Mouth River soon."
He rested for an entire day and ate some roasted meat. Then, the night sky gradually turned into day.
Looking at the current Su Fang, his clothes were tattered, and his head was covered in layers of fog. His body was more robust and tall, and he was almost 1.8 meters tall.
After packing his package, he disappeared into the depths of the fog sea.
"Wet Forest."
A few more days passed.
He crossed the vast wilderness from before and arrived in front of an incomparably flat forest. Occasionally, he could see some mountain peaks in the forest.
After entering the forest, he first listened to the movements inside. As expected, he heard the sounds of many wild beasts. He tried his best to move forward quietly. In the afternoon, he realized that the interior of the forest was a wetland.
Many swamps and wetlands were connected to each other. If one was not careful, they would devour life.
Fortunately, after reaching the Great Circle, he could use any material to fly in the air. He tried his best to move along the grassland where the wild grass and trees grew.
Dong Dong
Suddenly, a relatively large swamp appeared in front of him. Just as Su Fang was about to cross it, he hurriedly staggered and hid behind a big tree. There was movement in front of him.
He looked at the lake formed by the swamp and saw ripples of water.
"It seems like there was a flood here. Could it be that Fish Mouth River is behind this forest?"
Now, he looked around carefully and realized that the trees had signs of being flooded.
Splash Splash
Suddenly, the sound of waves came from the swamp in front of him. He stuck his head out to take a look. A black shadow was constantly twisting and turning, shuttling and struggling in the swamp. It seemed to be a huge water monster.
In the end, when Su Fang focused and looked over, he realized that it was indeed a huge water monster. It was a huge water snake, and its body was covered with red fish that were more than a foot long.
There were more than a hundred red fish. They bit the muscles of the huge water snake and ate the snake's skin. In the mud behind it, dozens of red fish darted out and opened their mouths to bite the head and neck of the huge water snake.
It seemed that the huge water snake had been attacked for a long time. After struggling for a while, it stopped moving. The red fish surrounded the huge water snake and savagely tore off pieces of its flesh. In the process, the snake's blood attracted more red fish.
In just half an hour, the huge water snake, which was about a hundred feet long, was completely eaten by hundreds of red fish. Only the skeleton was left.
"Could this be the Fish Mouth River? The legendary piranhas are indeed terrifying. Even the huge water snake is not their match. How can mortals deal with them?"
After quietly waiting for a while, the school of fish gradually dispersed. Su Fang then continued to move forward.
About a few hundred meters into the swamp forest, he saw a few monster skeletons. He did not expect the piranhas to be so ferocious. They almost swept through the forest and stood at the top of the food chain.
As he continued to move forward, he saw a large number of monster skeletons along the way. There were also human skeletons.
Rumble!
Two days later, he heard the roaring of the river.
After passing through the last forest, he could no longer see the swamp. Instead, a huge river, which was about a thousand meters wide, suddenly appeared. This was the Fish Mouth River.
The current of the Fish Mouth River was rapid. It constantly slammed against the rocks on both sides of the river, creating waves of water. Looking upstream and downstream, he could see that some of the river channels looked very much like the mouth of a fish.
Perhaps this was the origin of the Fish Mouth River.
"The river is too wide. There is only one way to cross the river. Cut a large number of logs and roll them into the river channel. Then, use the logs as landing points and quickly fly across the river!"
Such a natural barrier was difficult to cross. Moreover, there were large numbers of piranhas that were swept by the whirlpool from time to time. If he wanted to swim across, it would undoubtedly be suicidal.
He thought of an idea. If there were logs on the river surface that he could land on, he could use the speed of his perfect physical body and step on the logs to cross the Fish Mouth River.
However, the chances of success were not very high.
Kacha, kacha!
After thinking for almost half a day, he still did not sit down and make a decision. Such a natural barrier was not something that could be crossed with courage.
However, a strange crashing sound suddenly came from under the river. There was another series of banging sounds.
Su Fang looked curiously at a large bubble that suddenly emerged from under the rapid river.
Could there be a big water monster?
Su Fang took a few steps back, his heartbeat accelerating. He immediately saw a large turtle shell emerge. The turtle shell was more than three meters long and was oval in shape. After the turtle shell appeared, it was surrounded by a group of piranhas. They used their sharp teeth to attack the turtle shell. It was no wonder that there was a series of banging sounds.
Su Fang did not expect a hoarse voice to come from the large turtle shell. "Human friend, do you want to cross the river? We can make a deal!"
"You, you!" Su Fang's body instantly shivered.
The demon turtle spoke again. "I'm the Dragon Turtle Spirit. I've always lived under the Wan Yuan River and often trade with humans. Although I'm a demon and have become a spirit, our Xuan Turtle Clan has never harmed humans. I've always cooperated with humans here and carried them across the river. In return, humans would hunt for prey for me!"
"Is that so? You only want prey?" Su Fang asked doubtfully.
"Our Turtle Clan's cultivation is slow. We can only rely on our own growth to obtain strength. However, the food in the river has been eaten up by the piranhas. Our Turtle Clan's days are not easy. Furthermore, I have a good relationship with the cultivators in the Nightmare Cave. They all know me and often cooperate with me. You don't have to worry at all!"
"Can I believe it?"
A big question mark appeared in Su Fang's mind.
The Xuan Turtle Spirit said again, "You have to be fast. The tide is about to rise. At that time, the water will overflow the shore and a large number of piranhas will appear. It will be impossible for you to cross the river then!"
