"Wait, what exactly is this Darknight Divine River?"
Saint Light Whitebrow asked curiously.
Seeing this, Chu Lingxi didn't delay and promptly began explaining everything about the Darknight Divine River to Saint Light Whitebrow and the others.
Once they understood what the Darknight Divine River was, Saint Light Whitebrow and the others grew quite interested.
As for Chu Feng, he was naturally interested in the Darknight Divine River as well. However, compared to one of the divine marvels, Chu Feng cared far more about the safety of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
Moreover, he deduced that since the Darknight Divine River had been open for so long this time, it likely wouldn't close anytime soon.
If it really did close, then he could only count himself unlucky.
Between missing the Darknight Divine River and missing the trail of his clansmen, Chu Feng would rather miss the Darknight Divine River.
So he decided to split into two groups — Chu Lingxi, Saint Light Whitebrow, and the others would head to the Darknight Divine River first.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, would go to the place where the Chu Heavenly Clan members had disappeared, to see if he could find any clues about the dark-robed man and his clansmen.
In truth, the Grand Cyan Upper Realm wasn't large. At least for the Chu Feng of today, it was already a relatively small world — one he could traverse in a short time.
So he felt that barring any unexpected circumstances, this trip wouldn't take too long either.
Saint Light Whitebrow and the others had originally wanted to follow Chu Feng, but once he said it was a personal matter, they didn't press the issue further.
And so, as he wished, they split into two groups.
…
After some traveling, Chu Feng finally arrived at the place where the Chu Heavenly Clan members had vanished and where he had previously encountered the mysterious man.
But there was nothing to be found here. That mysterious man had likely never returned since the day he left.
Though unwilling to accept it, there was nothing he could do. He left the area and headed toward the location Chu Lingxi had told him about — where the Darknight Divine River had appeared.
…
Because they had split up, Saint Light Whitebrow and the others, who went straight for the Darknight Divine River, arrived at its location first.
This time, the Darknight Divine River had manifested above the clouds.
It shimmered with golden light, and from a distance it looked more like a golden ribbon floating between the void and the clouds.
Especially with night falling, it was a truly breathtaking sight.
And once they drew closer, they could hear the raging torrent of water, surging and roaring, confirming that it was indeed a river.
Observing it up close only made it all the more spectacular.
Every time the Darknight Divine River appeared, it lasted only a short while, so catching sight of it required a bit of luck.
But this time was different. Over two months had already passed since it was first discovered.
As a result, the area around the Darknight Divine River was packed with people.
Figures from every major faction had gathered around it.
Not only were the top powers of the Grand Cyan Upper Realm present — the Starfall Sacred Ground, the Ghost Sect Temple, the Blissful Valley, and others — but even forces from the Ancestral Martial Starfield had sent many representatives: the Ancestral Martial Dragon City, the Divine Body Royal City, the Nameless Clan, the Wuma Heavenly Clan, the Li Heavenly Clan, the Dantai Heavenly Clan, and more.
Furthermore, the top figures and geniuses from nearly all of these factions had shown up in person.
For example:
The former master of the Ancestral Martial Starfield, Nameless Clan Leader Nameless Doutian, along with Nameless Clan members Nameless Fenghuo, Nameless Yuanzhi, Nameless Xiongmo, and others…
Ancestral Martial Dragon City's City Lord Long Daozhi, along with Long Ning and others…
The Divine Body Royal City's City Lord, along with Kong Ci, Kong Tianhui, and others…
The Monster Race Sacred City's City Lord, along with Xian Yun and others…
The Wuma Heavenly Clan Leader, along with Wuma Shengjie and others…
The Li Heavenly Clan Leader, along with Li Ruochu, Li Yue'er, Li Anzhi, and others…
The Dantai Heavenly Clan Leader, along with Dantai Xing'er and others…
The Starfall Sacred Ground's Holy Master, along with the Starfall Eight Immortals, Xia Yun'er, Song Yunfei, and others…
Dao Palace Palace Master Golden Crane Immortal, along with his disciple Jian Wuqing, and also Golden Crane Immortal's friend the Cloth-Clad Old Monk…
The Ghost Sect Temple Master, along with the Ghost Sorrow Elder, Ghost Eye Boy, and others…
The Blissful Valley Master, along with Ren Xiaoyao and others…
All of these were people who had once crossed paths with Chu Feng — some as enemies, some as friends.
Though they were now worlds apart from Chu Feng and couldn't even begin to compare, their presence in the Grand Cyan Upper Realm still made them undisputed big shots.
It was precisely because these colossal figures and VIPs had arrived that the various factions of the Grand Cyan Upper Realm had to keep their distance, not daring to venture too close to the Darknight Divine River.
Of course, these forces and figures were only considered colossal and important in the eyes of cultivators within the Grand Cyan Upper Realm or the Ancestral Martial Starfield.
In the eyes of Saint Light Whitebrow, Saint Light Unspoken, Daoist Niantian, and even the Master of the Myriad Monster Sacred Ground, they were nothing more than a pack of insignificant insects.
Saint Light Whitebrow and the others wouldn't even spare them a glance. They couldn't be bothered to observe them in the slightest, and naturally made no move to reveal themselves.
Their gazes were all fixed upon the Darknight Divine River.
"Niantian, what do you think?"
After observing for a while, Saint Light Whitebrow turned to Daoist Niantian and asked.
Though his own strength surpassed Daoist Niantian's, when it came to keen observation, even Saint Light Whitebrow readily admitted he was no match for Daoist Niantian.
