Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Ji Zhaoyang slowly opened his eyes, his brain swollen with the dizziness brought about by long-distance travel through the void.

Looking around at his four companions, Spirit Refining True Beings, and the two Return-to-Void Great True Beings all awakened from the distortion of space-time travel.

"It seems that everyone is all right,"

Ji Zhaoyang breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart, and only then did he have the peace of mind to survey the environment.

They were in the midst of mountain ridges, where mountains rose dramatically and vegetation was lush, a vibrant scene of nature in full force.

Before them, the turbulent waters of a river flowed down from the mountaintops.

A few cultivators unconsciously fixed their gaze on this river, its winding course and running water seemingly carrying an unknown Dao rhythm, inviting them to set foot in it without thinking.

A young Spirit Refining cultivator, enthralled, unconsciously stepped toward the river but was stopped by a sharp rebuke from Ji Zhaoyang.

"Stop!"

The young Spirit Refining cultivator’s mind jolted, and he quickly awakened from his previous trance.

Ji Zhaoyang spoke with a stern expression:

"Everything within the Luotian Realm is a manifestation of the Supreme Tao Impartation, the mountains, forests, birds and beasts, rivers, all are so.

Most things here carry too subtle a Dao for cultivators to discern, but there are also some whose Dao is too immense, and rash contact poses great danger."

A few Spirit Refining cultivators were alarmingly startled, and a Return-to-Void Great True Being directly asked:

"Does His Highness Third Imperial Prince mean to say that there is a problem with these rivers?"

"It’s not that there is a problem with the rivers," Ji Zhaoyang shook his head, his expression unprecedentedly grave.

"It’s that all water within the Luotian Realm poses a problem."

"Be it rivers, lakes, seas, rainwater, or snow, all bear an unimaginable Dao rhythm.

If one only comes into simple contact, it’s fine, but once one attempts to comprehend the Dao within it, failing to perceive its essence will surely lead to assimilation by the Dao.

Throughout the many instances of the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, there have been water type Divine Venerables and True Dragons of the Aquatic Tribe ordained by the Heavenly Court, yet even they could not escape the assimilation by the Dao.

Thirty thousand years ago, the Eldest Prince of the Yellow River Dragon Palace, with unparalleled talent and carrying the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, attempted to comprehend the Dao of water within the Luotian Realm but ultimately perished within it."

Everyone involuntarily gasped, their eyes filled with fear.

Ji Zhaoyang paused in his speech and added with a sigh:

"According to the Upper Realm Immortals’ speculation, the rivers and seas of the Luotian Realm contain the Dao passed down by Tao’s Way Great Exalted One.

Once understood, one could step on the Daoist path and be accepted under the wing of the Great Exalted One, with the Golden Immortal Path within reach. Continue reading on NovelBin.Côm

However, to this date, no one at the Luotian Convention has been able to comprehend it, with only the Tushita Palace having passed down the Four-Character True Words."

"Supreme Goodness is like Water!" @@novelbin@@

A few Spirit Refining True Beings and Return-to-Void Great True Beings under Ji Zhaoyang’s command murmured under their breath.

"Supreme Goodness is like Water?"

Someone couldn’t help but glance at the river that had buried countless geniuses of ages past and shuddered instinctively.

"How does this water relate to goodness?"

After Ji Zhaoyang explained the reasons, everyone consciously distanced themselves from the river, advancing in other directions to explore further.

However, due to concerns about the environment of the Luotian Realm, they chose not to fly but to travel through the forests.

The cultivation base of all the cultivators present was at least at the Spirit Refining Stage, and even without using Flight of Light, their speed was not much slower.

In the process of traversing the dense forest, Ji Zhaoyang and the others witnessed the many oddities of the Luotian Realm.

Extraordinary flowers bloomed in the forest, carrying the true rhyme of the Dao; listening intently could enhance one’s understanding of the Dao.

A white deer wandered among the trees, conversing with people and posing questions.

If one could answer the white deer’s questions, they would be blessed with divine Daoist light.

If one gave wrong answers or tried to make a move, the white deer would disappear into the forest, eluding even the Return-to-Void Great True Beings who could meld with heaven and earth.

Of course, the mountains were not entirely safe.

The group had seen Void Refining big demons leading hordes of demons in battles that thundered throughout the sky.

They had also seen a pitch-black abyss tear through the land, devouring everything with Dao rhyme.

The cultivators of the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty, coming from distinguished backgrounds, became cautious and wary in the unending forest, afraid to touch any unknown dangers.

Passing through the forest that stretched for ten thousand miles had taken Ji Zhaoyang and his companions three days.

However, Ji Zhaoyang and the others also gained many benefits in the process, particularly Ji Zhaoyang, who acquired a deeper understanding of the cosmos. His cultivation base, already at the peak of the Spirit Refining Stage, could break through at any moment.

Ji Zhaoyang was elated, but for some reason, he felt as though something was missing from the journey.

...

After quickly passing through another forest, Ji Zhaoyang could already faintly see the sunlight and open fields beyond the mountains.

Feeling a great relief, Ji Zhaoyang led everyone quickly out of the last forest.

Just when Ji Zhaoyang thought that the journey could take a brief pause, a river even more turbulent than the previous one blocked their path.

The smile that had just appeared on Ji Zhaoyang’s face froze, and his expression became somewhat fearful as he watched the great river, feeling indecisive.

"Third Imperial Prince, there is a boat over there,"

one of the Return-to-Void Great True Beings said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoyang’s eyes brightened, and he quickly looked in the direction indicated by the Great True Being. There, by the river’s edge, an old man was seen punting a ferry.

"Even though the rivers of the Luotian Realm are incredibly dangerous, it’s said that as long as one rides the boats of the Luotian Realm, one can temporarily shield oneself from the influence of the Dao’s rhythm."

At that moment, hesitating no longer, the group hastily made for the riverbank.
