Just as Ning Qi and the others were about to enter the river, Jiang Haitao's voice came from behind.
"Wait!"
Everyone was slightly stunned. Wen Xin and the other Grand Luo exchanged glances. Could Jiang Haitao have seen through Ning Qi's talent and was planning to recruit him into the Tiandao Clan? Otherwise, why would he call out to them now?
"What's your name?"
Jiang Haitao looked at Ning Yi with a hint of curiosity. He realized that even as an early-stage Immortal Lord, he could not see through this fellow's cultivation level. This meant that the other party either had a higher cultivation level than him, or had cultivated some extremely profound aura-concealing technique!
Ning Yi remained expressionless and did not answer Jiang Haitao's question.
"Heh, quite a temper, huh?"
Jiang Haitao's lips curled up slightly as a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"Ten breaths are almost up, senior."
Ning Yi suddenly spoke.
He was not the one who wanted to say that, but Ning Qi had him say it.
"Hehe, let's go."
Jiang Haitao sneered. Since it was a rule set by him, it would not be good to violate it. Otherwise, it would make his words seem unconvincing.
Hearing that, everyone immediately entered the Cultivation River to prevent any unforeseen events from happening.
After Ning Qi and the others disappeared into the Cultivation River, Jiang Haitao muttered to himself in confusion, "Not only can I not see through this person's cultivation, I can't even tell if he's a human or a demon. How strange …"
…
Wen Xin and the other Grand Luo immediately understood how terrifying the Cultivation River was once they entered the water. Even though they were Grand Luo Golden Immortals, it was as if the Spirit Qi within their bodies had been completely absorbed after entering the water. Even their physical bodies had returned to the state before they started cultivating — mortals!
Moreover, after entering the Cultivation River, they could clearly see the situation around them. The immortals who entered the river before were basically doing their best to swim towards the endless shore.
"Oh no! I don't know how to swim! "
An exclamation was heard. Venerable Scarlet Flame's eyes showed a hint of panic as his hands kept flapping on the surface of the water. Only after entering the water did he realize that he could not swim freely after losing his cultivation. That was because he had never learned how to swim!
Just as Venerable Scarlet Flame was about to sink, a large hand grabbed him and scooped him up.
"Imagine yourself as a fish. Even mortals know how to swim. As a Grand Luo, you should be able to learn it very quickly."
Ning Qi laughed.
Venerable Scarletflame glanced at Ning Qi with a lingering fear in his heart and said with a bitter smile, "Thank you, Brother Ning." If it weren't for Ning Qi, he would have sunk. Even if he didn't die, he would have to drink a few mouthfuls of the Cultivation River water. Who knew if the water was poisonous?
After all, this water could turn people into mortals. If they drank a mouthful, they might not be able to recover their cultivation in the future! Apart from Venerable Redflame, Venerable Master Wen Xin and the rest of the Grand Luo Realm cultivators were all adept at swimming. They were less than ten feet away from each other as they swam towards the other side of the Cultivation River. After swimming for several thousand feet, Venerable Redflame had already learned how to swim. Although his speed was slightly slower than the rest, at least he did not need Ning Qi's help anymore.
。
"Help …"
Nearby, a Grand Luo suddenly cried out in panic and quickly grabbed hold of the fellow closest to him, stopping him from swimming at all. Both of them could sink into the Cultivation River!
Everyone hurriedly turned to look at them with a hint of fear on their faces. At first, they thought that there was some sort of monster in the Cultivation River, but after looking for a while, they realized that the Grand Luo's stamina had run out, which was why they had managed to grab hold of the nearest life-saving straw!
"They're all going to drown like this."
Venerable Master Wen Xin said solemnly. The expressions of the Extreme Monarch Great Elder and the others did not look any better. Almost everyone who saw this thought came to the same conclusion. The Cultivation River had turned them into mortals, which meant that their physical strength was their weakness. Many of them might not even be able to swim to the other side. They would end up like that Da Luo and run out of physical strength.
Then, they would drown in the Cultivation River!
"Let go of me!"
"Save me, I'm out of strength!"
"Damn it!"
Pfft!
The being that was grabbed took out a dagger out of nowhere and stabbed it straight into the Grand Luo's chest. The Grand Luo's eyes bulged out like a fish's, and he growled in a low, resentful voice, "I'll drag you down with me even if I die!"
Soon, the two figures entangled with each other sank into the Cultivation River. The surface of the river merely bubbled a few times, and there was no more movement.
Everyone continued swimming with ugly expressions at the sight. It was as if they could see their future in this scene!
"Is your cultivation suppressed?"
Ning Qi's mind moved slightly.
"I'm a puppet to begin with. Where did my cultivation come from?"
At this moment, Ning Yi was leisurely walking at the bottom of the Cultivation Heart River. His methods were not suppressed by the Cultivation Heart River. After Ning Qi received this news, he heaved a sigh of relief. With Ning Yi here, they did not need to worry about running out of strength.
Three days later. Venerable Redflame's stamina was starting to run out, and Venerable Master Wen Xin and the others were not much better. They could last for three days, which was already much better than those who ran out of stamina on the first day. Those beings might have been weak when they were still mortals, and only embarked on the path of immortal cultivation.
With their current strength, they were now turned back into mortals by the Cultivation River. They could only die here with hatred.
"I'm running out of strength. You guys go first."
Venerable Redflame floated up and down a few times before struggling to swim a little. He raised his head and shouted at Ning Qi and the others.
"Let's go together."
Venerable Master Wen Xin sighed and swam to Venerable Redflame's side. He did not touch Venerable Redflame on his own. Instead, he planned to pull Venerable Redflame when he ran out of stamina. This way, Venerable Redflame could recover some of his strength.
"When I run out of stamina, you guys can pull me. You guys are going to die anyway. Forget it."
Venerable Redflame sighed again.
"How wide do you think this Cultivation River is? How long do you think it will take for us to reach the shore?"
Ning Qi suddenly asked.
"I don't know. From the looks of it, it will probably take another three to five days to reach the shore."
Old Man Changshou said while panting.
"Ning Yi, we can start now."
Ning Qi's mind moved slightly.
Ning Yi, who was following the crowd underwater, received Ning Qi's signal. He immediately made a grabbing motion with both of his hands. Then, the Cultivation River suddenly became turbulent. Before Wen Xin Monk and the rest could react, a huge wave was set off below them and swept them away.
"What's going on?"
