Chapter 669: Chapter 378: Farewell to Qingchan, White-Haired Senior Sister
After all, the Chaos Pearl proves its sanctification by power outside of the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation. The day of sanctification is the day he leaves the Great Desolation, and sanctification through human virtue is recognized by the Heavenly Dao of the Great Desolation. He can remain in the Earth Immortal Realm without being forcibly expelled.
Emotionally and logically, from any angle, helping him is like helping one’s future self, the resources spent are worth it.
At this moment, Li Lingfeng earnestly said:
"There is a way, and it’s quite simple. As long as the kingdom produces one or two True Immortals, I can free my hands and either expand outward or take time out to leave."
"One or two True Immortals..."
Su Yu pinched his chin, pondered briefly, and said:
"This I cannot achieve immediately, but I have an alternative method."
Li Lingfeng curiously asked:
"What alternative method?"
"I noticed that on the western border of the Lingyue Kingdom there is a large river as a boundary, there are many intersecting water networks within the country. I will leave a dozen Celestial Immortal level true dragons in this river to protect this river section, which I believe can greatly alleviate your pressure."
Li Lingfeng’s eyes lit up:
"This method is excellent. There are a multitude of spirit monsters in this large river, just on the kingdom’s river segment, there are three who claim to be River Gods, and every year, a large tribute of young boys and girls is needed to avoid disaster. If these can be resolved, not only can it protect a stable land, but it can also regulate floods, a double benefit."
Su Yu, being a proactive person, immediately went with Li Lingfeng to that Lingyue River.
The river had no name, but being close to Lingyue Kingdom, they called it the Lingyue River.
Within less than an hour, the two arrived above the Lingyue River, Su Yu stood at the bow of the immortal boat, overlooking the Lingyue River, which was several times wider than the Yuanjiang River, pinching his chin and asked:
"How long is this river? Where does it originate and where does it flow to? Are there any particularly formidable water demons in the river domain?"
Standing next to him, Li Lingfeng immediately replied:
"The length of this river is unknown, originating deep within Mount Li, flowing from west to east, eventually joining Li Shui far from Lingyue Kingdom."
"As far as I know, just within the Lingyue Kingdom river segment alone, there are three large demons, all of True Immortal cultivation, claiming to be River Gods. It’s rumored that upstream, tens of millions of kilometers away, there is a Profound Immortal Demon King, but the truth is unknown."
"Are these three River Gods true River Gods or fake ones?"
"They should be fake, for true River Gods wouldn’t demand the blood of young boys."
"I’ll inquire."
Su Yu activated the immortal boat to land by the river, holding a jade disc, gently knocked it, but received no response for a while.
"Indeed, there is no River God."
If there were a River God appointed by the Celestial Court in this river, there would certainly be a response.
However, to be safe, he landed on the riverbank and activated the jade disc again, soon a spirit fog rose, and an elder tortoise with a turtle shell on its back floated out.
"This little old one greets the noble Immortal and the Sovereign of Lingyue Kingdom. What might the noble Immortal need from this old one?"
Su Yu directly repeated his earlier questions to Li Lingfeng, and upon hearing them, the local spirit immediately replied:
"Esteemed Immortal, the three River Gods within the Lingyue River are monsters, not River Gods appointed by the Celestial Court. This Lingyue River indeed has no true River God, but downstream at Li Shui, there is Water God Li Shui Dragon King. However, Li Shui spans billions of kilometers, the water system spreads across Mount Li, nurturing many powerful monsters, Li Shui Dragon King struggles to manage these branch waterways."
"Oh, Li Shui Dragon King?"
Su Yu’s eyes brightened, surprisingly asking:
"What dragon species is the Li Shui Dragon King, and what strength does it possess?"
"Li Shui is a large water system, the Dragon King is appointed by the Celestial Court, holding a seventh rank immortal position, cultivation at the peak of Profound Immortal."
"I understand."
Su Yu casually tossed a peach to the local spirit and waved:
"That’s all, you may go about your business."
The local spirit, delighted, hesitated before saying:
"I think the Sovereign came here because of the troubles from river demon interference, hoping for a long-term solution. The best protection would be from a Dragon King. This little old one heard the Dragon King is at war with several major demons, if assistance could be offered to help the Dragon King defeat those demons, the Dragon King’s power could ascend along the river, thus protecting Lingyue Kingdom from river demon interference."
Li Lingfeng clasped his hands in salute:
"Thank you for reminding me, local spirit."
"This little old one takes leave."
Carrying the peach in delight, the local spirit vanished into the ground.
At this point, Su Yu already had an idea and said to Li Lingfeng:
"I think the local spirit’s suggestion is indeed a long-term solution. I plan to go to Li Shui to help the Dragon King clear the major demons, once the Dragon King fully controls the water system, Lingyue Kingdom’s issues will naturally be solved."
Li Lingfeng furrowed his brows, asking:
"The enemies of Li Shui Dragon King are all Profound Immortals, and there’s more than one. Can you really assist?"
Su Yu laughed heartily:
"Of course I can assist, don’t forget I’m a Patrolling Immortal Envoy, I can call for assistance."
Li Lingfeng’s eyebrows relaxed, also laughing heartily:
"I indeed forgot about this particular detail."
"Then I’ll leave it in Mr. Su’s capable hands."
"No problem, but I need to go to Mount Li first, it’ll probably be one or two years before I return."
Li Lingfeng waved his hand, smiling:
"No worries, we’ve endured tens of thousands of years, a few more years won’t matter."
"That’s fine then."
Su Yu didn’t linger, he bid farewell to Li Lingfeng on the same day, and set off again.
This time he didn’t stop, accelerated his pace, heading straight to the main peak of Mount Li.
After more than half a year of traveling, he arrived at the central area of the Li Mountain range.
Upon entering this area, one could clearly see the mountains are greener, the waters clearer, and the rising demon aura occasionally vanished, with noticeably more cultivators passing by.
This is the sanctum of the Daluo Golden Immortal Lishan Old Mother, where no monster dares to be presumptuous. Within a billion kilometers, there are no wild Celestial Immortal level monsters, if there are, they are Spirit Beasts of various sects guarding the mountains.
