"Wow, young master, how handsome you are!"
Upon seeing this image, Hu Buxiao of the Spirit Fox Clan exclaimed in surprise.
The fox clan has always been a gathering place for handsome men and beautiful women.
She considered herself to have seen countless handsome men, but Su Bai before her still surprised her immensely. Coupled with his terrifying strength that crushed his peers, it was clear that he was a prodigy.
It should be noted that such a near-perfect appearance, an incomparably monstrous talent, and being a pure sword cultivator—any one of these three qualities alone would make her a prominent figure in the Heavenly Path Realm.
But now, all three of these points coincidentally converge on one person.
At this moment, not only Hu Buxiao exclaimed in surprise, but many of the spirit race women around him also had their eyes shining with admiration.
Even Ao Chuan, who was extremely proud as a member of the Spirit Dragon Clan, remained silent at this moment, a rare occurrence.
"What are rules?"
Su Bai ignored her and turned to look at the old man who had been observing from the sidelines.
"It's alright, please listen to me."
The old man stroked his beard, and a rare, kind smile appeared on his proud face.
Such a sight caused the expressions of many powerful figures around to change.
Many powerful figures familiar with this old man showed expressions of surprise at this moment.
"I've heard that the River God who controls the Lingchuan Ferry is always arrogant and stern, never smiling. How come he's so kind in front of this human man? Is this really the River God I know?"
"Could it be that the River God has some connection with this human man, which is why he is acting this way?"
"This is too unexpected. I never thought I would see the River God here today. It seems that this human is definitely not someone to be underestimated!"
"It seems that this human man is absolutely not someone to be trifled with. Not only is his combat strength astonishing, but he also has a connection with the River God. We cannot afford to offend him!"
"Remember, do not provoke this person!"
"..."
This situation also secretly alarmed many powerful figures, who all decided not to provoke Su Bai.
Some even considered befriending Su Bai, but upon remembering his human identity, these powerful individuals abandoned the idea.
After all, the human race is currently being pushed to the brink of extinction by many other races.
"It seems my guess was correct. This person must have come from the ancestral star of the human race. Among the many realms, only the star region of the ancestral star of the human race has not produced a Great Emperor for a long time, so it is normal that he does not know the rules of the Heavenly Path Realm."
Feng Lili scrutinized Su Bai, her eyes darting around as if she were deep in thought.
Beside them, Ao Chuan and Hu Shan also fell into deep thought.
"That's right. This river is the only way to enter the Heavenly Realm. In ancient times, the powerful stipulated that only those who could cross this river with their physical bodies could pass the test and gain the qualification to enter the Heavenly Realm. This was intended to affirm the strength of those with solid foundations and no superficiality."
"But things are different now. Here, in addition to relying on your own physical strength to cross the river, you can also take a ferry. However, there is a rule for taking the ferry: you need to pay me a Heaven-rank magic treasure."
"Judging from your appearance, you must have just come from the lower realm and are not familiar with the world. Let me give you a brief explanation. A Heavenly Rank magic weapon is one of the magic weapon grades stipulated by the Heavenly Realm. Its most significant characteristic is that the strength of the magic weapon's spirit reaches the Great Emperor level."
"The other magic treasures are ranked from top to bottom as follows: Immortal, God, Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Mortal. Your sword and armor, although they do not have the strength of a Great Emperor, are capable of growth and can be considered as Heaven-rank magic treasures. They can be used to pay for the ferry fee."
"Of course, you can also choose to cross the Spirit River. According to ancient legends, crossing the Spirit River in your physical body will bring you some good fortune, but I don't know exactly what it is."
"However, if one's physical body cannot cross over, then one can only become a...wandering soul beneath this vast Lingchuan River."
The old man said slowly.
His voice wasn't loud, but Su Bai keenly noticed that many people present looked wary when they heard that a physical body could cross the Spirit River.
It was as if crossing the Spirit River in their physical bodies was a great taboo for them.
"Crossing the Spirit River with one's physical body is a feat that only ancient cultivators could accomplish. Which cultivator today can temper their foundation to that level?"
Hu Buxiao scoffed, took out two magical treasures, and walked to Su Bai's side.
"It is said that the solid foundation and ultimate cultivation that cultivators pursued in ancient times required them to repeatedly disperse their cultivation and rebuild it. Such difficulty was tantamount to playing with one's own life, and it also meant losing the inheritance of ancient times. Nowadays, very few strong cultivators would do such a thing."
"As for the fortune of crossing the physical body, I think it's mostly a rumor. In hundreds of thousands of years, I haven't heard of anyone who has ever obtained it. You can take what the River God says with a grain of salt."
"These two items you have, though not powerful, are symbols of the human race and cannot be handed over. However, besides these two items, I don't think you have any other magic treasures. I'll hand over these magic treasures for you now, and you can find another one to return to me later, how about that?"
Hu Buxiao had a smile on his face.
"Humans, just listen to Hu Buxiao. Those foreign powerhouses had magical treasures on them, but after they died, the Heart of the World shattered, and all those magical treasures were destroyed along with them. Otherwise, we could have made a fortune."
Tiger Mountain Road.
"Crossing the river with your physical body is absolutely not advisable. Although you are powerful, this Lingchuan River is the legendary Daoist site where an ancient human supreme being attained enlightenment. The dangers it contains are numerous. It is best not to take the risk."
"Moreover, the human race needs assistance right now, and the most important thing at present is to go to Chengtian City in the Tianxing Realm."
Feng Lili said in a deep voice.
