Chapter 421: Chapter 348 Illusion Technique Chapter 421: Chapter 348 Illusion Technique “Wu Jianghao came to Su Yuan and the others, ‘Envoys, up ahead is the West Channel River.’

‘The West Channel River, it’s truly magnificent!’ Tang Jiao’s eyes lit up as she looked at the rushing river in the distance and immediately took out her phone to snap a few photos.

Su Yuan and the others also examined it from afar. It was the first time they had seen the West Channel River.

The West Channel River ran from east to west all the way to the West Sea, with a constant mist and water light hovering over it, giving it a grand appearance.

Wu Jianghao said to them, ‘For most people to cross the West Channel River, they usually need to detour to the east’s Hui City. For our team, we can just fly over it directly.’

The river of this magnitude certainly had ways for ordinary people to cross too.

For example, some cities in the east had set up ports or bridges at places where the river was narrower and the current was calmer, allowing passage to the other side.

However, if the escort team also detoured in this manner, the entire journey would take an additional three or four days.

Since the escort team consisted of Shining Star-level experts who had the ability to fly, there was no need to detour.

Although there was some mist and water light, there was no actual danger.

Upper Three-level experts traveling north and south typically just flew straight over it.

Wu Jianghao politely said to Su Yuan and the others, ‘Envoys, let’s rest for a while before proceeding. Flying over the West Channel River will require some energy.’

As a veteran Shining Star-level official, Wu Jianghao was very familiar with the strength of the Sky Patrol Department.

The last attack by the Hundred Flames Association had shown that Su Yuan and the few “Sky Patrol Reserve Newcomers” were even stronger than Wu Jianghao had expected!

This made Wu Jianghao even more respectful and careful not to slight them.

‘Anything’s fine!’ Xiong Chunyang said indifferently.

Tang Jiao nodded and said, ‘We’ll follow Manager Wu’s instructions.’

Su Yuan and the others naturally had no objections. After days of travel, they were indeed quite tired. Shining Star-level experts were not gods. Proper rest was still necessary.

‘Alright, let’s rest here. I’ll take a few people to scout the river.’

Tang Jiao said, ‘Manager Wu, I’ll go with you.’

‘Alright, thank you, Envoy Tang.’ Wu Jianghao responded with a smile, then took Tang Jiao and a few of his men to survey the river.

The rest stayed and rested in place.

Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun sat down on the ground. Xiong Chunyang looked at them, initially wanting to walk away but, after some contemplation, also sat down.

While resting and recovering, Su Yuan extended his far-sighted vision to survey the river.

The water light and mist were somewhat obstructive to the view. However, with his all-knowing vision, Su Yuan could see everything clearly.

‘It seems like the skills you use are both Fire Element and Space. Was the skill you used last time given to someone else?’ Lin Chongyun casually asked Su Yuan.

Hmm?

Xiong Chunyang, sitting nearby, immediately pricked up his ears. It sounded like these two had a prior connection?

‘That’s right.’ Su Yuan nodded before asking, ‘As a Thunder Type archer, it’s no wonder you were so satisfied with that skill last time. So, even if I hadn’t offered the Green Divine Radiant Thunder Bamboo Branch, you would have traded anyway?’

Lin Chongyun nodded honestly, ‘That’s right.’

Su Yuan smiled, not feeling too regretful.

The last trade had been very profitable for him. He had unexpectedly obtained some Heavenly Fallen Purple Iron, which could perhaps be an important material for crafting star devices later.

And the Green Divine Shining Thunder Bamboo branches could regenerate for him.

This reminded Su Yuan of the situation in the Qingming Realm.

Although the Qingming Realm had established a connection with the main world through him, allowing it to absorb external Heaven and Earth Star Power,

It was still limited by its absorption speed. This meant that the Star Power concentration in the Qingming Realm was never high, at least not higher than outside.

Influenced by the Star Power concentration, the growth rate of various thunder bamboos in the Bamboo Sea was also quite slow.

There were a few ways to solve this, such as decomposing a large quantity of star stones or establishing a barrier…

But these methods only addressed the symptoms, not the root cause. The only way to fundamentally solve this problem was…

A star vein!

If there were a star vein in the Qingming Realm, even the lowest-level dog vein among the dragon, tiger, wolf, and dog veins would be more than sufficient for both himself and the Qingming Realm.

Last time, when the Qingming Realm absorbed the Central Bamboo Sea from Jilei Ridge, Su Yuan could not only plunder the Bamboo Sea, peaks, and rivers through the Qingming Realm but even faintly sense the star vein underground!

Perhaps it truly could plunder star veins through the Qingming Realm, but such an endeavor would be no simple task.

Star veins were foundational and incredibly valuable. Places with star veins were almost always occupied by some force.

While he had an idea, he still needed to think it through carefully…

Not long after, Wu Jianghao and Tang Jiao returned, having found nothing unusual.

So, after resting in place for two or three hours, everyone was ready to cross the river.

‘Following the previous plan, everyone, take your positions and let’s go!’ Wu Jianghao called out.

There was mist over the river. To avoid any unexpected incidents, Wu Jianghao had the three Solid Rock Dragons stick close together while the Shining Star-level overseers formed a circle around them to fly across the West Channel River in this manner.

Everyone took their positions. Soon, Wu Jianghao and the other North Pole Prison overseers were the first to move.

Lin Chongyun suggested, ‘With visibility hindered, for safety’s sake, we should all spread out and guard each direction.’
