Qingfeng Li was fast and reached the Sword River in no time.

He released his spirit energy to probe his surroundings, but the sword energy blocked his view.

The Sword River did not contain any actual running water, rather being filled with flowing sword energy.

If someone fell into the river, he or she could be torn into pieces by the sword energy.

At first, Qingfeng Li's spirit energy could stretch ten meters far. As time pa.s.sed by, he felt a bit tired. It was because his spirit energy couldn't stretch any further when he tried to reach inwards.

Qingfeng Li's spirit energy continued moving forward until he suddenly felt a sword.

Yup, that's right. It was a sword.

Qingfeng Li could only see vaguely that the sword was buried in the Sword River. It was silver white, but in terms of size, width, and length, he couldn't feel it.

The sword had spirituality and reacted as if it could feel Qingfeng Li's probing. It released a ray of sword intent to attack Qingfeng Li. The sword intent was extremely powerful and stung Qingfeng Li' spirit energy.

At this critical moment, Dark Night Emperor's spirit energy emerged. It helped Qingfeng Li to cut off sword intent's attack and return back.

Qingfeng Li's face became pale and his body stepped backward due to some injury of his spirit energy.

It was fortunate that the Dark Night Emperor stepped in and helped so Qingfeng Li didn't get hurt. If not, his spirit energy, would definitely have suffered some severe injuries.

Everybody looked at at Qingfeng mockingly. This guy had already turned pale without even crossed the river. If he tried to cross the river, he would die for sure.

Qingfeng Li didn't really mind other people mocking him. He understood that he got hurt because he saw the sword. The sword was at the bottom of the river and it was very scary.

Qingfeng Li's sixth sense told him that the white sword was stronger than his Golden Light Sword. It could launch a spirit attack and all the sword energy in the Sword River was controlled by it.

Qingfeng Li flew instantly to the top of the Sword River. Fifteen rays of sword intent rushed out and shot towards him.

Qingfeng Li drew out his Golden Light Sword and cut forward. His sword turned into a sharp sword energy and clashed into the fifteen rays of sword energy. There was a loud exploding noise and the sky and earth both shook.

Qingfeng Li's Golden Light Sword was very powerful and halted the fifteen rays of sword energy. From the attacks previously, one could tell that Qingfeng Li's combat power was stronger than General Golden Crab.

Everyone knew how powerful Qingfeng Li was by now. He was stronger than all of them.

Qingfeng Li continued to fly forward and wanted to cross the Sword River, but the Sword River wouldn't let him cross that easily. It released thirty rays of sword energy, all targeted at Qingfeng Li.

"Golden Light Whirlwind." Qingfeng Li used the second sword of Golden Light Sword and formed a sword energy storm. The sword energy storm was as powerful as a tornado and it soared towards the thirty rays of sword energy.

Peng peng peng peng…

The sword energy formed by the Golden Light Whirlwind collided with the thirty rays of sword energy and made an exploding sound, causing the sky and earth to vibrate again.

Those thirty rays of sword energy had severely injured General Golden Crab, yet against the same thirty rays of sword energy, Qingfeng didn't even suffer a scratch.

General Golden Crab saw this scene from far away and panicked. Of course, he knew how strong those thirty rays of sword energy were. Someone like him who was already at the fourth level of the Spirit King Realm couldn't even stop it, but Qingfeng Li could.

It was reasonable to conclude that if they battled against each other, General Golden Crab wouldn't be able to beat Qingfeng Li.

Everybody's face turned pale for two reasons. One was from the sword energy, and the other was shock from how strong Qingfeng Li was.

The one who freaked out the most was the short haired self-cultivator. He boasted that if Qingfeng was able to make it across, he would eat mud. Those rays of sword energy couldn't kill Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li defeated thirty rays of sword energy and angered the Sword River.

Sou sou sou sou…

This time, a hundred rays of sword energy came out from the Sword River and shot at Qingfeng.

A hundred rays of sword energy was slightly more than three times as powerful as the previous thirty. They pierced through s.p.a.ce toward Qingfeng's body.

Qingfeng Li had to be very careful. He took out the Golden Calabash, opened the lid, and aimed it at those rays of sword energy.

The Golden Calabash unleashed a golden whirlwind, which absorbed the hundred rays of sword energy and a.s.similated it into itself.

"The Golden Calabash? Isn't that the spiritual device of the Gold Saint?" A surprised voice rang out from the Sword River. The voice was tender and sweet and it belonged to a woman.

Everyone was shocked after hearing the voice, as they never expected someone to be inside the Sword River.

Only Qingfeng Li knew that the sound didn't come from someone but the sword at the bottom of the river.

The sword seemed to know the Gold Saint because it recognized the Gold Saint's weapon, the Golden Calabash.

"Qingfeng Li, come inside the river for a talk," the tender and sweet voice said. She had learned Qingfeng Li's name from everybody's discussion.

Qingfeng Li nodded and rushed towards the river. The sword energy river immediately separated to the two sides, with no more sword energy coming to attack him.

Qingfeng Li was fast and arrived the bottom of the river instantly.

The sword released a white ray of light and covered Qingfeng Li. It formed a vacuum zone with sword energy appearing on top of Qingfeng Li's head to stop anybody else from observing.

At the bottom of the Sword River, Qingfeng Li looked at the white sword and didn't say a word.

It was because he didn't know what to say. He was waiting for the sword to talk.

"Qingfeng Li, have you seen Gold Saint? Is he still alive?" the sweet voice asked.

The first phrase was about the Gold Saint. From her tone, Qingfeng Li could tell that she knew Gold Saint and they were pretty close, or she wouldn't be so concerned about him.

Qingfeng Li said, "Senior, I didn't know the Gold Saint. I obtained this Golden Calabash on the Gold Island."

The sweet voice became silent after hearing what Qingfeng Li said. She thought that Qingfeng Li had saw Gold Saint before, but he had never seen him before.

Dark Night Emperor's spirit flew out from the sword and said, "Long time no see, Frost Saint."

Dark Night Emperor recognized the sweet voice in the sword. It was the voice of the Frost Saint, whom he had known from the ancient era.

During the ancient era, the Frost Saint was also a master of a region. She was very famous in the World of Eastern self-cultivators.

"Eh, are you Dark Night Saint?" There was hesitation in the voice of the sword.

As for Dark Night Saint, she had heard of him during the ancient era and knew that he was a supreme master. However, Dark Night Saint was killed by someone, so how did he come back to life?

As if he knew about Frost Saint's skepticism, Dark Night Emperor explained, "I had indeed died thousands of years ago. I reincarnated and a part of my memory from my past life awakened."
