Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”Up ahead is Starfall Gorge, the water is a thousand feet deep, full of countless undercurrents! Keep your blood aura tightly concealed, don’t disturb those ancient ancestors beneath the water!”

Seeing that several young protectors were still somewhat dismissive, the old steward snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice:

”Calves unafraid of tigers! Do you think this Canghe River is just an ordinary riverbed? The source of Canghe River is the boundless Three Thousand Great Mountains!”

”Who knows how many Great Demon Beasts are lurking in this river, drifting along with the water veins. Especially in recent years, the battles between Yan and Qi have shattered the earth veins on both sides from the magical battles of great cultivators, making the demon beasts in the water even more irritable. If a Second Tier peak Water Spirit gets provoked, we, on this entire ship, wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth!”

Listening to the old steward’s reprimands, those few young protectors turned pale and hurriedly checked the Concealing Qi talismans on their waists.

Not far away in the shade, Chen Ye adjusted the brim of his hat, listening impassively.

The old steward wasn’t exaggerating. Canghe River originates from the Three Thousand Great Mountains, where indeed countless mighty aquatic demon beasts are nurtured.

These demon beasts rarely come ashore, but their combat strength in the water is extremely terrifying.

”Boom——”

The serene merchant ship suddenly shook violently!

”Ah!”

Little Qing Jun on the deck was jolted, almost dropping the Spirit Fruit in her hand into the river.

The little girl immediately puffed up angrily, her eyes widened, and a dangerous aura was about to explode from her.

Chen Ye, with quick eyes and swift hands, pressed the furry head of Qing Jun, transmitting with a low voice: ”Sit tight, don’t expose your aura, let me handle this.”

Qing Jun pouted, then obediently retracted her aura, nestled closer to Zhiwei while clutching the fruit.

By now, the deck was already in chaos.

”What happened?!”

”The array! The defense array at the bottom of the ship is under severe impact!”

The deck was in disarray, and the sailors cried out in panic.

The old steward’s face turned pale: ”What’s going on? This route has never encountered accidents before...”

Chen Ye understood.

Although he and his disciples were concealing their aura,

but Qing Jun, as a descendant of the True Dragon, in her tender years, even without cultivation, would either entice or terrify demon beasts.

This is an innate high-tier suppression, absolutely not something simple Concealing Qi can obscure.

Chen Ye’s gaze slightly focused, through the turbid river water, he vaguely saw an iron-jawed crocodile dragon over ten feet long, covered in teal scales, lurking at the riverbed.

Second Tier early-stage demon beast!

This beast has tough skin and thick flesh, cautiously circling around the Spiritual Ship.

”Hmm? Strange, the demon beasts in this river seem to possess more spirituality than those on land?”

Chen Ye thought to himself, then immediately asked the old steward.

”Old man, the demon beasts in this river, seem different from the ones I’ve encountered before in the Three Thousand Great Mountains?”

The old steward was busily directing the crew to activate the array, feeling exceedingly impatient.

But since this Steward Chen was an expert sent by the Family Head,

he could only swallow his irritation and explain:

”It’s said that deep within the Three Thousand Great Mountains, ancient prehistoric divine beasts sleep, even the great experts of Lingxu Realm dare not tread lightly. This Canghe River water flows from the lairs of those ancient monsters, naturally carrying a hint of Desolate Wild Qi!”

”A thousand years ago, during the Songyang battlefield, even cultivators from Ruins Country dared not cross Canghe River to Yan but took a detour via Chuanjiang.”

Ancient divine beasts, Desolate Wild Qi?

Could it be...

Related to Qing Jun?

Only Chen Ye knows that there are indeed divine beasts within the Three Thousand Great Mountains, and this divine beast is a lively little dragon.

”Back in the Ninth Layer Heaven of Songyang Cave Heaven, there’s a shattered corner of a Celestial Palace, Dandan Qing Jun, was precisely the one who fell out of that Celestial Palace.”

”Could it be... the Celestial Palace mentioned anywhere in the original plot was actually located at the source of Canghe River?”

”Could the Canghe River demon beasts have some sort of connection with Qing Jun?”
