182: The real source of the Golden Scale River? Is there hope for the ultimate?One must know that they are currently in the Forbidden Sea Area, an unknown distance from Golden Scale Que.

Rivers and seas are connected, and generally speaking, the only way is for rivers to flow into the sea.

But Zhe Changsheng said that this river flows from Golden Scale Que all the way to Taigu Divine Nest.

And it is in a broken state, with no source at all!

”No way, if it really is the Golden Scale River, then where did such a large section in the middle go?” Zhe Xizuo’s heart trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

”This is the strange part. I speculate that perhaps some great power directly broke off a section of the Golden Scale River and placed it here,” Zhe Changsheng said.

Breaking off a river?

How much power would it take to do that under the River God’s watch?

Moreover, water is a flowing substance, how can it be cut off, and how can it be transported?

”Prince Zhe’s perspective is still too shallow. If it was truly broken off, how would you explain the inverted flow?” Yan Taiyin gave no Face at all and directly came out to dismantle his argument.

”According to Brother Yan, do you have a better idea?” Zhe Changsheng cast a calm glance at him.

”This river has nothing to do with the Golden Scale River. Look at the end,” Yan Taiyin said.

Everyone looked over, only to see that this broken river led to the Taigu Divine Nest, disappearing into the depths without another end in sight.

From its depth, it was indeed similar to the middle reaches of the Golden Scale River, and the types of aquatic plants and fish were also extremely similar.

”In my opinion, this river is a product from within the Taigu Divine Nest, most likely the work of a Kunpeng,” Yan Taiyin said.

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this; such a possibility was not out of the question.

After all, if such a massive project as the stone steps could be achieved, then a river lying horizontally here would not be too shocking.

”Is that so?” Zhe Changsheng looked at Qin Han, who was deep in thought, a glint flashing in his eyes, and said, ”Does Brother Qin also see it that way?”

The question was suddenly thrown to a third person, and everyone around looked at Qin Han.

”What does he know? How would an outsider know the origins of the Golden Scale River?” Zhe Xizuo sneered.

Xuan Nu of the Toad Palace had a guess but did not voice it, instead staring at Qin Han with curiosity.

Qin Han pondered for a moment, then said, ”I believe this is the true Golden Scale River, and also its source.”

”And the one at Golden Scale Que is a branch.”

”Huh?” Zhe Xizuo was suddenly stunned, then burst out laughing, saying, ”That’s absurd! Do you even hear what you’re saying?”

Everyone else also couldn’t help but laugh. How could the Golden Scale River be a branch?

”The Golden Scale River has existed since ancient times, nurturing countless ancestors of Golden Scale Que. How could it have branched off from here?” Zhe Xizuo mocked.

”Exactly! Could it be that a Kunpeng visited Golden Scale Que in early years and brought a section of the river?”

”How could an ancient ferocious beast have so much free time? Moreover, the River God was born in the Golden Scale River itself, which makes even less sense.”

”An outsider is just an outsider. Although he has a wild imagination, it’s too preposterous.”

People simply refused to believe that the ’mother river’ of their spiritual Que would be a subordinate.

”Have you ever seen the true Face of the River God?” Qin Han suddenly asked.

As soon as this question was posed, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Throughout the history of Golden Scale Que, no one had ever seen the true Face of the River God.

They only knew that such a Divine Spirit existed, possessing heaven-reaching power.

It had also descended punishment, destroying countless forces, turning them into ruins in the blink of an eye.

However, there would be a celebration every hundred years, and under the circumstances of both grace and might, Golden Scale Que, regardless of strength, held the River God in high reverence.

Now, Qin Han posed a Soul-searching question, which instantly made everyone fall silent.

”See? None of you have seen the true Face of the River God, and you know very little about the Golden Scale River, so how can you be so sure that what I’m saying is wrong?”

”You’re Qin Han, right? If the Golden Scale River is a branch, then why is it a complete river? And where did the River God come from? Explain that,” Zhe Xizuo said.

”For flowing water, it’s easy to go from incomplete to complete, but very difficult to go from complete to incomplete. And I don’t know the true Face of the River God, but I, Qin, dare to guess that it must have a direct relationship with the gluttonous beast,” Qin Han slowly said.

”Ridiculous, these are all your conjectures. How can you prove them?” Zhe Xizuo said bluntly.

”Weren’t your previous statements also conjectures? What the answer truly is, we’ll know once we enter the Godly Nest and investigate,” Qin Han was not angered by his aggressive questioning.

”In that case, our next step is to enter the Nest,” Yan Taiyin interrupted Zhe Xizuo’s words and led the group forward.

Zhe Xizuo was still unwilling. He hadn’t defeated Qin Han in battle, and now he had even lost in an argument, which made him lose a lot of Face.

Zhe Changsheng had been watching the show from the side, with no intention of helping.

”Does the Prince also think he is right?” Zhe Xizuo frowned.

”Third Brother, what’s wrong?” Zhe Yunli noticed his unwell expression and asked with wide eyes.

”Nothing, Yunli, what do you think of this matter?” Zhe Xizuo forced a smile.

”I don’t know. Is there any meaning in exploring this question?” Zhe Yunli blinked her beautiful eyes, with an innocent curiosity.

”Uh...” Zhe Xizuo was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, digging to the root of the matter really didn’t have much meaning.

But it involved the true Face of the River God, and he also wanted to know what the legendary Divine Spirit looked like.

Wu De saw a huge fiery red clam on the top of the river and hurriedly patted Qin Han’s shoulder: ”There are so many Fire Spirit Shells over there!”

Looking up, they saw a kind of reddish-glowing shellfish, as transparent and crystalline as jade, with fiery glow surging when the shells opened and closed, exquisitely beautiful.

”Aren’t these things extinct?” Qin Han felt curious.

”It’s truly strange that something that should be extinct can actually be seen in this river. The Fire God Fish are the same,” Wu De nodded.

”It is said that Fire Spirit Shells are incredibly delicious and contain extremely strong Fire Spirit energy. Eating a single one can even allow a person to comprehend the Flame Great Dao.”

”Not only that, but they might also produce Fire Spirit Pearls within them. Refining these items can even strengthen the physique, and the shells themselves are also excellent forging Divine Objects,” Wu De introduced.

Fire Spirit Shells were treasures through and through. In ancient times, they were hunted by numerous Martial Artists and were eaten to extinction.

”Aren’t you just one step away from the Extreme Boundary? Obtaining a Fire Spirit Pearl can increase your success rate and minimize the danger,” Wu De suggested.

”Effective for divine bone?” Qin Han showed a curious expression; this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

”Definitely. The Daoist Master’s ancestors’ ancient texts had records of it. I didn’t mention it before because these things were already extinct and couldn’t be found at all,” Wu De said excitedly.

He really wanted to see what the Perfection of the Divine Power Realm’s Extreme Boundary looked like.

All bones transforming into divine bone, what’s the difference from a Divine Body?

With this thought, Wu De urged Qin Han to act quickly, lest someone else got there first.

”In that case, let’s give it a try.” Qin Han licked his lips. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

He then unfurled his Demon Wings and swept out, leaving a very long dark trail in the air, like a black silk ribbon, imbued with a strange Hellish aura.
