"You two are truly blessed. To have acquired a young Black-Eyed Golden-Eating Eagle so soon after arriving here is an eye-opener for this old man!"

Squeak! Squeak!

Diao Bao was quite critical of Guang Lao's words and kept barking. Li Sisui repeatedly comforted him and teased him:

"This isn't a gain, it's fate!"

After hearing this, the eagle was finally satisfied. It used its huge head to push against Li Sisui's back, making the latter stumble several times before stopping. The three of them and the eagle continued to travel through the dense forest. Guang Lao was like a living map, knowing the surroundings like the back of his hand!

Throughout the journey, he served as an extremely competent guide. His explanations were never boring, and the two of them gained a glimpse into the true nature of Shura Ridge...

"If you walk another half an hour, you'll reach the River of Rebirth marked on the treasure map. It's inhabited by countless soulless fish demons with sharp teeth that devour everything. Even a cultivator's magical artifacts can't withstand a few bites from those little fish..."

Li Sisui looked astonished. As expected of Shura Ridge, all sorts of magical species appeared one after another, which broadened his horizons.

"That's awesome, how are we going to get across? Is there a bridge?"

"A bridge? A bridge made of ordinary materials wouldn't be able to withstand a soul-destroying fish demon. However, if one had an ultimate-level Black-Eyed Golden-Eyed Eagle, they could fly across without a bridge. But right now, we have to go on a huge detour to find that bridge. It's the only bridge on the River of Rebirth that cultivators can cross, but it's best to avoid it unless absolutely necessary..."

The three continued walking and soon saw a bright silver ribbon appear in front of them, dazzling and beautiful. This must be the River of Rebirth!

Li Sisui looked at the River of Rebirth, which was only a few feet wide in the distance, and said disdainfully:

"This river is so narrow, why would anyone need an ultimate form? Any cultivator who can fly using a magical artifact could cross it!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Guang revealed a meaningful smile. He was not in a hurry to explain, and the three of them continued to approach the River of Rebirth. However, before they even got close, Li Sisui felt his divine sense sink. The originally calm sea of ​​divine sense suddenly had countless whirlpools of different sizes rising up, and an invisible suction force emanated from the River of Rebirth!

Li Sisui was greatly alarmed, and Leng Rushuang's expression also turned solemn. Guang Youzi then stopped and said:

"The River of Rebirth is so vast that even celestial birds cannot cross it, and fish and dragons cannot float on it. How can it be compared to ordinary rivers! You should all have felt it. If you were any closer, even your divine senses would be sucked in. Now you know why it's called the River of Rebirth, right?"

Guangyouzi watched Li Sisui and the other man with great interest. The two men looked at each other and remained silent. Only then did Guangyouzi continue:

"And the soulless fish demons that can survive in such rivers are even more troublesome. There are only two ways to cross this river at present. One is to wait for this black-eyed golden eagle to grow to its ultimate form. At that time, relying on their talents, they can soar upwards, break free from the suction of the River of Rebirth, and fly across..."

As for the other option, it's the bridge I just mentioned, but I really don't recommend going across it..."

Leng Rushuang's expression was solemn, and she said in a cold voice:

"It is said that the River of Rebirth leads directly to the summit of Mount Buzhou, but no cultivator has ever verified it. I only glanced at it from some incomplete ancient books. I never expected to see the true face of the River of Rebirth today. This trip has truly been worthwhile!"

Leng Rushuang's eyes flickered as she stared at the silent River of Rebirth not far away, making no attempt to hide the wariness on her face. Clearly, Leng Rushuang was not as ignorant about the River of Rebirth as Li Sisui.

"The Cold Fairy is incredibly knowledgeable; she even knows ancient anecdotes. I'm truly impressed!"

As he spoke, a glint flashed in Guang Youzi's eyes, before he returned to normal. Leng Rushuang's recognition of the River of Rebirth was indeed beyond his expectations. Although these two were new to Shura Ridge, they were clearly not entirely ignorant of the place…

"What can we do then? We can't just wait for the eagle to grow to its ultimate form, can we? By then, I'm afraid..."

"We definitely can't wait!"

Leng Rushuang abruptly interrupted Li Si's subsequent words. Then, she gave him a meaningful glance. Li Si understood and fell silent. Clearly, Leng Rushuang did not want Guang Youzi to know that there might be pursuers behind them!

Guangyouzi looked helpless and put his hand to his forehead, saying:

"I'm afraid there's no better way than to wait. The River of Rebirth rises and falls unpredictably. Right now, besides flying across, there really isn't a good alternative. I'm afraid I can't help you anymore. Once you cross this river, you won't be far from where you're looking..."

"Didn't Mr. Guang just mention that there's another bridge?"

"That bridge does exist, but times have changed, and I'm not sure where it is now. As the tides rise and fall of the River of Rebirth, the location of that floating bridge keeps changing, and it's uncertain whether we can even find it. Moreover, it's highly likely that the bridge has been occupied by the alien race, making it even more difficult to cross..."

"Another race? You mean the demon race?"

Guangyouzi sighed deeply, his gaze drifting as he said:

"There are not only demons there, but now the demons are like a heap of loose sand, each acting on their own, and are no longer a threat. The reason they are called alien races is that they are other races besides cultivators. They have united to occupy that floating bridge in order to gain control of the continent behind them!"

Li Sisui suddenly realized why he hadn't encountered a single cultivator after walking for so long. They were all on the other side of the River of Rebirth. If that's the case, then meeting Guang Youzi here was truly a stroke of luck!

"That floating bridge has always been a battleground between the two races. Countless cultivators and demonic beasts have perished there, yet no victor has been decided. It's always been a back-and-forth struggle. Cultivators find it difficult to set foot on this land, and alien races find it difficult to cross the River of Rebirth. Therefore, I do not recommend crossing that bridge; there are too many variables..."
