Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 572: Chapter 571 The Origin of the River God

Su Yang carefully recalled his passage into this place.

First, he fell into a lake in a gorge, which was actually a very dangerous place.

According to Zhao Wunian’s statement, there were big fish in the gorge lake, and if someone fell into it, it would be very difficult to survive.

After entering the lake, Su Yang actually gained some understanding of the interior. He was swept into a stone cave by the water monster and saw many bones along the way, including some from large fish.

The so-called big fish, upon closer inspection by Su Yang, were actually crocodiles. This meant that there were crocodiles in the gorge lake, which was an extremely dangerous presence.

If someone fell into this lake and accidentally encountered a crocodile, there was essentially no hope of survival.

Even if someone powerful enough not to fear crocodiles searched the waters, they would be attacked by the water monster. And the strength of the water monster was such that anyone below the level of The Sovereign simply stood no chance. Thus, most people arriving at this place would have no hope of advancing further.

After that was the cave leading to the Divine Egg.

The Divine Egg was placed in that stone chamber, and the other end of the chamber was sealed while the side connected to the monster had some small holes opened.

Su Yang hadn’t paid much attention before, but now he finally understood that those small holes were actually for allowing the Divine Egg to absorb external Spiritual Energy.

If there were no small holes and it was completely sealed, the Divine Egg would not be able to absorb Spiritual Energy and would slowly shrivel up.

However, opening those small holes meant that a slight amount of the Divine Egg’s aura could leak out, which was very dangerous for the Divine Egg.

Therefore, the person who placed the Divine Egg here set up restrictions on the outside. He left the monster to guard the entrance and set up such formations that made it impossible for people to enter, which could basically be considered flawless.

On the end where the Divine Egg’s exit was, there were also restrictions left by him, and no one could enter at all. It was only after the Divine Egg hatched and broke through the exit on this side that Su Yang was able to reach the place with the Five Element Crimson Fruits.

Upon careful thought, those Five Element Crimson Fruits were actually Little Turtle’s provisions.

The person who had placed the Divine Egg here had considered all situations, allowing the Divine Egg to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, protecting the Divine Egg, and even the situation after the egg had hatched.

Such a large patch of Five Element Crimson Fruits would be enough for Little Turtle to eat for a while. And once Little Turtle grew larger, it could cultivate and search for food on its own, and there would be no more danger.

Plainly speaking, all of this was prepared for the Divine Egg.

The person who had annihilated the entire Divine Farmer Sect had done so for Little Turtle!

As for why he chose the land of the Divine Farmer Sect, Su Yang guessed there were two reasons: one was that this location was suitable. The other reason was the Five Element Crimson Fruits planted by the Divine Farmer Sect. Su Yang suspected that these fruits were the masterwork of the Divine Farmer Sect, yet they ended up providing for Little Turtle.

After searching the vicinity, Su Yang found many formulas for concocting elixirs. However, these formulas meant nothing to Su Yang, because any single formula recorded in Destiny’s Tome was far more powerful than these.

Of course, Su Yang didn’t want to waste them, so he collected the formulas. Although he didn’t need them, he could bring them out for research in the future.

After thoroughly searching the area and finding nothing else, Su Yang did not linger. Instead of heading back the way he came, he continued forward.

After walking for a while, he came across some other stone chambers. It looked like the area behind was for resting and concocting elixirs, and the area ahead was likely for cultivation and perhaps had a grand hall.

Indeed, after passing through these stone chambers, Su Yang finally emerged into a huge stone hall.

Although the hall was simple, it was apparent that this must have been the grand hall of the Divine Farmer Sect.

Inside the hall, there was chaos, and even more people had perished here.

At the exit of the hall lay a person who had almost managed to crawl out, but ultimately, he died right there.

What truly caught Su Yang’s attention was that this person was carrying a variety of gourds on his back. Upon inspecting the gourds, Su Yang discovered that they were all filled with medicinal drugs.

At the entrance of the hall was an underground river. Some of the gourds had been opened, spilling their contents onto the ground, with some nearly falling into the underground river.

Su Yang glanced back at the interior of the hall, then at the underground river, and suddenly remembered something he had heard before.

Every time the River God surfaced, medicinal drugs would emerge from the River God Cave and be taken by the members of the River God Sect for auction.

Su Yang had not understood the situation before, but now he figured it all out. What they called the River God surfacing was probably just the process of the Divine Egg releasing spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy of the Divine Egg was so powerful that each release caused fluctuations. These fluctuations pushed the medicines into the underground river. Outside of this river, most likely was where the River God Cave was located.

The medicines, carried by the underground river, were retrieved by the people of the River God Sect, who believed they were gifts from the River God. Little did they know that these medicines were actually concocted by the Divine Farmer Sect.

Having understood everything, Su Yang had an epiphany. He had actually suspected the existence of an actual River God, but now it seemed that it was all nonsense. The real culprit was the little fellow lying in his pocket who was still soundly sleeping.

Su Yang picked up the gourds scattered on the ground, holding them with a look of helplessness. There were too many things, and it was truly inconvenient to carry them all.

The Five Element Crimson Fruits, the Lihuo Zhenjin Pill Furnace, and these gourds, when added up, amounted to quite a collection.

Su Yang was now eager to advance to the Spirit Tranquility Realm. According to Destiny’s Tome, one could control space upon entering the Spirit Tranquility Realm and easily create storage artifacts to hold these items.

Gathering all the gourds together, Su Yang was contemplating how to leave when suddenly, there was a plop beneath his feet, and another gourd appeared.

Caught by surprise, Su Yang wondered if there were any that had slipped through his collection.

Picking up the gourd, just as he was about to stand up, another gourd materialized out of thin air in front of him.

This time, Su Yang was certain of what he saw: the gourd had appeared out of nowhere, not forgotten by him or dropped from somewhere.

What on earth was going on?

On closer inspection, Su Yang noticed a bracelet on the wrist of the withered bones. And when he thought back on where he had picked up those gourds, most of them were near this bracelet.

If this person had decided to escape with all the elixirs, logically, he would have used a bag or something similar to carry them, not like this, scattered.

Then why were these gourds scattered here?
