Guangyouzi looked helpless, shaking his head and saying:
"If you want to enter the Demon Mountain, you have to cross the River of Rebirth... It seems that crossing the River of Rebirth is now unavoidable!"
Guang Youzi subtly observed Leng Rushuang, muttering confidently to himself, "Although Leng Rushuang has been taciturn all the way here, I could still sense her unparalleled arrogance in her few words, as if it were innate. With such a temperament, how could she be deterred by a River of Rebirth? She will surely do her best to climb upwards, exhausting her life's strength to reach the peak of cultivation!"
"If that's the case, then we absolutely must cross this River of Rebirth..."
Leng Rushuang remained expressionless, her eyes like icy pools, gazing at the now-calmed River of Rebirth in the distance, a stubborn look in her eyes. Seeing this, Li Sisui spread his hands, not knowing what else to say, and turned to Guang Youzi, saying:
"Elder Guang, now that we've come this far, there's nothing left to hide. Aside from the fact that we absolutely must go to Demon Mountain, to be honest, we still have pursuers behind us. They could catch up at any moment. To survive, we have no choice but to move forward, we can't stop..."
Guang Youzi's expression hardened. To force these two people to such a state, that person must possess extraordinary cultivation. They must not be an unknown figure in the Shura Ridge. Thinking of this, even he, who usually had a calm demeanor, couldn't help but frown, and his gaze towards Li Sisui became much deeper...
"Just ask whatever you want to ask. We met by chance, and we've come this far because of mutual trust. To avoid being betrayed in the future, it's better to make things clear beforehand. If we become enemies in the future, there's no need to hold back!"
Li Sisui remained composed, speaking sincerely. Guang Youzi, with a serious expression, subconsciously nodded. This was a case of politeness before resorting to force, laying the ugly truth out beforehand. Judging from the people from the previously imprisoned tribes, this seemingly ordinary young man was no pushover; he was capable of striking with deadly ease amidst laughter…
"Do the people chasing you have their names?"
"Master Lingyun was my senior brother in the past..."
"Lingyun? Never heard of him! What? He's your senior brother? Looks like it's a family matter, sigh..."
"Then I will not ask further. I am deeply gratified by your frankness, fellow Daoist. Whatever happens in the future, just remember, I will not harm you. You are a special person, allowing me to see many things I had never seen before, which is why I have always followed you!"
A strange light flashed in Li Si's eyes, but seeing Guang Youzi's hesitant manner, he simply didn't ask anything more. Since things had come to this point, he would naturally say what needed to be said, and he probably wouldn't get an answer to what he shouldn't say anyway. So why bother?
Although the two only had a brief conversation, they both sensed each other's sincerity through their words. The wariness they had been hiding before was finally relieved. Not to mention Shura Ridge, even in Wulipo, it is not an easy thing to make a cultivator trust another person without reservation. So the feeling between the two at this moment is already a miracle. They reached a tacit understanding through only a simple exchange!
"Old Guang, tell me, where is that bridge? How do we get there? What trouble is there over there? Oh, by the way, since you've decided to come with us, we can't just leave you empty-handed. You can take any three items from the treasures marked on this treasure map as a reward for your hard work!"
Guangyouzi nodded heavily, his face serious, and said:
"That bridge, we all call it the Sky-Piercing Bridge! It is said that a long, long time ago, so long ago that Shura Ridge was not called by this name, this place should have been submerged by the River of Rebirth, but a human cultivator, through his heaven-defying cultivation and unparalleled physical talent, forcibly blocked the River of Rebirth, maintaining it only as this thin strip in front of us!"
As a price, he could never leave this place again; he was like an arched bridge, his hands gripping the opposite bank, his feet on this side, his body becoming the only bridge connecting the two sides of the River of Rebirth!
Li Si followed the two with longing, thinking of the man's past deeds, and couldn't help but feel admiration. It seems that not all cultivators are single-mindedly focused on cultivating for immortality. Some adhere to the idea that with great power comes great responsibility, and put their will into practice through their own actions!
"This legend has a long history, and whether it is true or false is impossible to verify. However, apart from this, there doesn't seem to be any other reasonable explanation for why only that bridge can span the River of Rebirth, while other bridges, no matter what material they are made of, or any birds or beasts, cannot withstand the abnormal gravity of the River of Rebirth!"
Li Sisui nodded thoughtfully, then asked:
"Where can we find this Sky Bridge?"
"By the River of Rebirth..."
How long is the River of Rebirth?
"Very long..."
"..."
Looking at Li Sisui's helpless expression, Guang Youzi sighed softly and said:
"Don't think I'm exaggerating, it's the truth. Because the tides of the River of Rebirth rise and fall, who knows where the Sky Bridge will be washed away to? Fortunately, the soul-destroying fish demons in the river can't chew up the Sky Bridge, otherwise the two sides of the River of Rebirth would be completely separated..."
"Finding the Sky Bridge is difficult without searching along the riverbank. There's not much else we can do. However, if we knew who controls the Sky Bridge now, the search would be much easier. But this place is the middle of nowhere; we can't even see a ghost, let alone anyone..."
Li Sisui fell into deep thought, and Leng Rushuang also looked thoughtful. If they were unlucky, wouldn't it take countless hours just to find this Sky Bridge? By then, Diaobao might have already grown to its ultimate form...
