Above the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly River flowed eternally, its waves rippling as if conveying the passage of endless years.
The surface was like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and clouds, creating a divine tapestry befitting the Immortal Gods. The banks of the Heavenly River were lined with Purple Ganoderma, White Orchid, and other Spirit Grasses. Colorful birds gracefully danced among them, exuding faint fragrances, as if one were in the Immortal Realm.
Yu Yuan quickly caught up with Donghuang Taiyi.
When he arrived at the outskirts of the Heavenly River, he just saw Donghuang Taiyi plunging headfirst into the river.
The waters of the Heavenly River babbled gently, their ripples glistening serenely, as if the chaos of war had not reached this place, or perhaps the Ruishui River water had washed away all traces of it.
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi was advancing towards the heart of the river on a white cloud.
The Ruishui River weighed down everything; even the Immortal Gods could hardly cross!
But that was true only for Immortal Gods below the level of Golden Immortal; for a powerful Quasi-Saint like Donghuang Taiyi, there was nowhere in Heaven and Earth he could not reach.
To avoid being discovered, Yu Yuan didn't rashly follow, but instead silently concealed himself behind a rock at the riverbank.
He wanted to see what exactly Donghuang Taiyi was up to.
But just moments later, Donghuang Taiyi's figure suddenly vanished from the surface of the river.
Simultaneously, the entire Heavenly River quieted down, as if nothing had ever happened.
"This is…" Yu Yuan thought, his Divine Thought sweeping across the Heavenly River. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
Finally, his gaze locked onto a hidden black hole in the center of the river.
It seemed there was a secret black hole that had sucked Donghuang Taiyi in.
"Could it be... that this is the hiding place of the Demon Emperor, Emperor Jun?" Yu Yuan speculated.
Without hesitation, he transformed into a wave and leaped into the Heavenly River, heading for the secret black hole.
His action caused no disturbance in the waters of the Heavenly River.
Like silently entering a dark chamber, no one knew his whereabouts.
Soon, he arrived at the center of the river.
Indeed, there was a mysterious black hole in the water.
From the outside, the hole was pitch-black, devoid of any light, and the Heavenly River Water around it was unusually still, not flowing directly into the cave.
Yu Yuan did not hesitate for a moment and entered the hole.
It felt like traveling through a dark tunnel; Yu Yuan was incredibly fast, his Divine Thought firmly locked on Donghuang Taiyi, and he was not about to lose track.
Even if Donghuang Taiyi was immensely powerful, Yu Yuan was confident that he wouldn't be detected.
He hurried down the dark passage, quickly catching sight of Donghuang Taiyi again.
Yu Yuan slowed down, carefully trailing behind, always keeping a certain distance.
Thus, he followed Donghuang Taiyi, not knowing how long he had traveled.
At last, a light appeared ahead.
It was the multicolored Chaotic Divine Light, its dazzling hues twisted in arcs.
Seeing this, Yu Yuan's heart stirred slightly; he finally understood what lay ahead.
It was the Time River!
He hadn't expected that within the Heavenly River lay a path to the Time River.
He had only heard that the Heavenly River connected the Circulation of stars, formed by the convergence of countless starlights.
Unexpectedly, this Heavenly River transected the entire Primordial Universe, connected to the true Time River.
Wouldn't that mean Donghuang Taiyi and his party now had the ability to traverse different timespaces?
Of course, even with such ability, he believed they would not dare to act rashly.
After all, they did not possess Yu Yuan's capabilities.
Should they attract the terrifying Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, survival would be impossible for them.
Yu Yuan plotted in his heart while carefully following behind Donghuang Taiyi.
Since the Time River lay ahead, he feared accidentally passing through to an unknown timespace, making it difficult to find his way back to this location.
Therefore, he did not rush, just cautiously proceeded.
It was uncertain how much time had passed when Donghuang Taiyi suddenly halted ahead.
Yu Yuan's heart quivered as he carefully extended his Divine Thought to observe.
Donghuang Taiyi was pressing his right palm against a huge rock, which shimmered like a gemstone, with what seemed to be mysterious inscriptions on it.
As Yu Yuan's gaze fell on those inscriptions, a flood of information instantly filled his mind.
The overwhelming information felt like the entire civilization history of the Demon Clan condensed into a book, and now this book was being scanned directly into Yu Yuan's brain.
Yu Yuan's brow furrowed slightly as he realized this setup was to prevent foreign intrusions.
Only by discerning the sole correct thread amidst countless pieces of information could one find the correct path—the way to the Demon Emperor, Emperor Jun's hiding spot.
Clearly, this was an arrangement agreed upon between the Demon Emperor, Emperor Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi.
As expected, Donghuang Taiyi's face was laden with seriousness, his eyebrows tightly knitted, his lips pursed as he focused on the mysterious inscriptions on the rock, seeking the correct clue from the vast pool of information.
This process did not last long.
In just a few moments, Donghuang Taiyi raised his hand and drew an Array in the air before him.
Faint starlight twinkled, and intricate runes and lines sketched the outline of a portal in the air, which then materialized into a solid door.
