Above the Skyfall Cascade!
A seemingly ordinary wooden boat swiftly moved forward, covering a distance of 500km in an instant. It left behind a string of long ripples on the originally calm crimson red river water that didn't disperse for a long time.
It was Xiao Fan's group!
Within the wooden boat!
Xiao Fan sat calmly while the Akira Yuki dozed off on Xiao Fan's body. Xing Qing meditated calmly while Lime pondered over the knowledge of pills. Only Fairy Qing Wu and Ying Qing gazed at their surroundings with surprise and bewilderment. They were slightly unable to believe that they had actually been able to travel for so long in the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season!
After all, even the sects behind them, including the Origin School, didn't dare to rashly enter the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season unless it was absolutely necessary. They were helpless against the various dangers within the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season, and they could only avoid it and not provoke it!
Yet now, Xiao Fan was walking through the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season as if he was walking on flat ground. He didn't see any danger at all, and it was as if he was strolling idly. How could it not cause tempestuous waves to surge within their hearts?
This was absolutely not something that could be resolved with great battle prowess!
Because if one could pass through the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season with great battle prowess, then the Skyfall Cascade would be too unworthy of its name as the number one forbidden area in the Eastern Spirit Lower Prefecture.
Battle prowess was practically useless in the Skyfall Cascade. It was even to the extent that the stronger one's battle prowess was, the more dangerous it would be, and the more difficult it would be to pass through the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season.
There were some unknown things in the Skyfall Cascade, and these things possessed a strange and unfathomable ability to replicate. So long as one entered the cascade, everyone would be replicated, and then they would become extremely lethal existences that would launch a frenzied assault towards one's main body.
The stronger one's battle prowess was, the stronger the unknown things that were replicated would be, and the greater the danger would be as well. Moreover, the chances of survival would be lower as well. This was a law that many large sects in the three great territories had already grasped.
As a result, Ying Qing and Fairy Qing Wu felt extremely uneasy as they stepped into the Skyfall Cascade of Flame Season with Xiao Fan. At this moment, the development of the situation was completely different from what they'd expected. so while they felt disbelief, a strong feeling of curiosity arose within them as well.
Why?
Why was Xiao Fan able to safely cross the Heavenly Stream?
Could it be related to the medicinal pill that Xiao Fan had taken out before entering the Heavenspan Cascade and required everyone to take it?
But what kind of pill was that?
Throughout the history of the three domains in the Dongling Lower Province, no one had ever seen such a miraculous pill. How could it eliminate all the dangers in the Heavenly Stream?
How could such a miraculous pill, which was almost mythical and legendary, exist?
Mysteries, they were all mysteries. Xiao Fan, or rather, Xiao Fan himself, was a complete and unsolvable mystery to them!
There was a moment of silence!
"Xiao … Lord Xiao, what exactly is that pill?" Ying Qing finally voiced his doubts. He didn't know how to address Xiao Fan, so after hesitating for a moment, he could only address Xiao Fan as milord.
"False Soul Pill!" Hearing Ying Qing's question, Xiao Fan looked at him and didn't hide anything. He simply said the name of the pill he was going to refine.
"False Soul Pill?" Ying Qing and Fairy Qing Wu looked at each other when they heard Xiao Fan's words. This was because even with their extraordinary origins and vast knowledge, they had actually never heard of a pill called False Soul Pill.
"That's right. It's a False Soul Pill. After consuming it, your soul and aura will change for a certain period of time, allowing the Soul-devouring Ghosts in the Heavenspan Cascade to treat you as one of their own. That way, you'll be able to avoid the most troublesome forces in the Heavenspan Cascade," said Xiao Fan.
"Soul-devouring Ghosts?"
Ying Qing and Fairy Qing Wu came to an understanding when they heard Xiao Fan's explanation. They somewhat understood why they were able to travel so quickly and without any danger. However, when they truly heard Xiao Fan's explanation, they were stunned by the new term Soul-devouring Ghosts. They fell into a daze once more.
This was because they had never heard of Soul-devouring Ghosts.
"Soul-devouring Ghosts. Are they the mysterious things in the Heavenspan Cascade that possess the power of replication?" Fairy Qing Wu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Xiao Fan nodded. "Soul-devouring Ghosts are very annoying. They can replicate you. They're as powerful as you are, so they're extremely troublesome. However, as long as we avoid them, the dangers of the Heavenspan Cascade will be reduced by at least half.
"At the same time, the reason why the Heavenspan Cascade has a flaming season and a cold season is because of them. They're active during the flaming season, so the Heavenspan Cascade during the flaming season is extremely dangerous. On the other hand, they slumber during the cold season, so the Heavenspan Cascade during the cold season is relatively safer."
Ying Qing and fairy Qing Wu both nodded after hearing Xiao Fan's words, indicating that they understood. However, the bitter smiles on their faces were still present. This was because they only had a preliminary understanding of the Fake Soul Pill and the Soul Devouring Ghost until now. However, they were still completely clueless as to how they were refined and formed.
They had already passed through the Heavenspan Cascade, but if Xiao Fan wasn't there next time, they would still be powerless against the Heavenspan Cascade. They would only be able to stand by the side of the cascade in vain.
This feeling of powerlessness caused them to laugh bitterly in their hearts. They lamented that they were lacking in skill and knowledge. They were completely useless!
Xiao Fan didn't say anything else after he finished explaining the doubts in Ying Qing and fairy Qing Wu's hearts. He gazed into the distance once more and thought about his own matters. On the other hand, the wooden boat fell into silence once more!
However, this silence didn't last for long. It was broken in just a short moment!
Bang!
The wooden boat seemed to have been struck by some sort of creature in the river. The entire boat immediately shook violently. However, Xiao Fan still controlled it with his remaining strength. Even though the wooden boat shook incessantly, it still swiftly advanced towards the Dark Region on its original path.
Splash! Splash!
After colliding with the wooden boat, some kind of creature in the water also floated to the surface. It was a huge monster fish with a body the size of a mountain. Its mouth was filled with ferocious fangs, and its huge body was covered with terrifying bone spikes. At a glance, one could tell that it was an extremely deadly existence.
At this moment, after it failed to knock over the wooden boat, it decided to reveal its true form. It opened its bloody mouth and leaped out of the water with an extremely ferocious and tyrannical aura. It charged toward Xiao Fan and the others head-on.
Xiao Fan was completely indifferent towards this. He continued to look into the distance and think about his own matters. He completely ignored the attack of the monstrous fish!
However, Ying Qing, Fairy Qing Wu, and Lime's expressions changed at this moment. All of them became extremely pale, and Fairy Qing Wu was the palest of them all. She could not help but tremble.
This was because there were some things that one would not be so afraid of if they did not know about them, but if they did know about them, not only would they not be relieved, they would become even more afraid.
Fairy Qing Wu recognized this monstrous fish. It was one of the Ten Great Ferocious Creatures of the Heavenspan River, the Tong Yu!
There was no way to verify the name of the Tong Yu. The only thing that was known was that as one of the Ten Great Ferocious Creatures of the Heavenspan River, Tong Yu was definitely terrifying beyond imagination.
Every adult Tong Yu was a fourth level Empyrean Realm cultivator, and the best of them were basically Prime Empyrean Realm cultivators. Tong Yu had always been in groups, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions. They were rarely alone.
When you bumped into one Tong Yu, it was actually equivalent to bumping into a hundred thousand, or even a million Tong Yu. Who could survive the bloodthirsty attacks of so many Tong Yu?
Moreover, this Tong Yu was only one of the Ten Great Ferocious Creatures of the Heavenspan River. There were nine other Great Ferocious Creatures, and even some that were not on the list but were still not to be underestimated. In terms of danger, they were below the Ten Great Ferocious Creatures.
Just from this aspect alone, it was enough to see how dangerous the Heavenspan River was.
"Sh * t!"
Ying Qing's expression changed, and he could not help but blurt out. He knew about Tong Yu. While a hundred thousand or a million Tong Yu might not be a problem for Xiao Fan, and he could leave easily. But he was not familiar with Xiao Fan, and no one knew if Xiao Fan would abandon him in the face of such great pressure.
If Xiao Fan really did not care about his life, then he would really have to die in the Heavenspan River today.
A strong sense of danger instantly grew madly in Ying Qing's heart, causing him to be unable to restrain himself from attacking. Regardless of everything else, he had to kill this Tong Yu first.
But!
"Scram!"
Just then, the golden eyes of the Kun Peng flashed in Xing Qing's eyes, and she opened her mouth to shout at the Tong Yu that had already leaped up, as well as the countless other Tong Yu in the distance. Her voice was like thunder.
In the next second!
"Bang!"
The Tong Yu that had already leaped up froze in the air as if it had been struck by lightning. It did not dare to charge at Xiao Fan and the others, and its huge body immediately stiffened like a rock and fell into the river with a loud bang, creating a large splash.
In the next second!
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
The countless Tong Yu that had already surrounded them in the distance all let out ear-piercing screams that clearly contained fear. Then, they created countless large splashes on the surface of the river as they fled in panic in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, other than the Tong Yu that had first attacked Xiao Fan and the others, no other Tong Yu could be seen!
After the Tong Yu that had first attacked Xiao Fan and the others fell into the water, its huge body immediately curled up into a ball, like a huge hedgehog in the water. It kept trembling in the water, and it looked quite comical.
"Scram!"
Xing Qing shouted again impatiently. Hearing Xiao Fan's order, the Tong Yu that had first attacked Xiao Fan and the others immediately swam away in a panic. In the blink of an eye, it could no longer be seen.
