Chapter 703: Chapter 14: Sun and Moon Rivalry, Battle Across Eras

Almost at the exact moment Xiluo was teaching the Jinhong Clan the Divination Method, the already turbulent River of Time surged again.

——Three hundred years prior, and five hundred years hence.

All the Pathfinders who appeared during this turbulent era sensed the spread of this wave.

If the temporal disturbance caused by Li Boyang’s previous time-traveling was like a turbulent wave...

Then this surge was like a flowing undercurrent, seemingly calm yet producing ongoing effects on everyone.

"That Xiluo fellow, I knew she wouldn’t just quietly obey."

As if expecting it, Li Boyang chuckled lightly in an unchanging tone, and the Celestial Eye scanned over all the anomalies and disturbances occurring within these eight hundred years.

Unfortunately, the results were the same as every previous search.

Li Boyang still failed to capture any clue related to Emperor Hao.

Since Emperor Hao announced his pathfinding three hundred years ago, he seemed to have completely disappeared.

Everything in the world has developed from the historical inertia of three hundred years ago.

And Emperor Hao, the protagonist of this era, vanished without a trace, without a hint of causality, as if he never existed.

"So what exactly are you planning?"

Taking out the Kunlun Mirror once again, Li Boyang carefully examined this Magical Treasure that originated from the Heavenly Mirror.

So far, it’s the only clue Li Boyang has on Emperor Hao.

"I really want to see how you’ll resolve the ’paradox’ of five hundred years hence!"

Five hundred years hence marks the historical point where Emperor Hao hunted the Lord of the Netherworld and cultivated the first Immortal Grass in this world.

The aftermath of the Jinhong Clan’s death and the Lord of the Netherworld’s return set aside for now.

The birth of the Immortal Grass alone affected countless beings twenty thousand years later.

To say nothing else, when Li Boyang sought "Essence Path Perfection, Immortal corporeal form," he couldn’t have done so without the help of the Immortal Grass.

So if Emperor Hao remains absent by then, the River of Time won’t just be turbulently simple.

Li Boyang wants to know how Emperor Hao plans to resolve this crucial temporal paradox, and how he intends to sever this causation.

"Or do you really intend to force me to reshape the River of Time?"

Unconsciously stroking the Kunlun Mirror in his hand, Li Boyang was surrounded by profound yellow light once more.

In an instant, a fully profound yellow Treasure Tower enveloped Li Boyang completely.

It’s with this [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower] capable of shielding causality that Li Boyang can time travel repeatedly, often wandering within these turbulent eight hundred years.

As long as he doesn’t leave this Treasure Tower, doesn’t actively interfere with historical events...

Li Boyang’s existence will remain completely hidden in the shadows of the River of Time, unnoticed by anyone.

In fact, that’s also the main reason why after arriving in this era, Li Boyang no longer carried Xiluo through time travels.

After all, the other party doesn’t have the concealment of the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower].

Even if Xiluo travels in her true form and merely appears in different eras, she’d cause unimaginable butterfly effects—just as she inexplicably became a teacher to the Jinhong Clan.

"I really want to see what medicine you’re selling in your gourd!"

Muttering softly, Li Boyang then, under the [Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Treasure Tower], traveled through time once more.

......................................................

During the eight hundred years under the peak of Celestial Emperor’s rule, countless Pathfinders engaged in Magical Combat here.

And as time went on, the Magical Combat grew more intense, and the impacts on heaven and earth worsened.

But the fiercest battle among them was not between the Ancient Ones from the past, or the Pathfinders from the future, but Heng’e and the Great Golden Crow.

As the children of the Celestial Emperor, Heng’e and the Great Golden Crow divided the sun and moon.

However, starting a hundred years ago, the conflict between Heng’e and the Great Golden Crow evolved from covert to overt, reaching the point where the gods stood in opposition.

Those living in this era could look up and witness the spectacle of ten suns and the great moon vying for radiance.

If their eyesight is sharper, they might even see, under the sun and moon conflict, numerous stars briefly crossing the starry sky.

Those stars are the gods and Pathfinders who’ve joined the battle.

Their combat shattered stars, their deaths streak across the sky like meteors.

The star that was at the North Pole one second might fall in the South the next second.

The intensity of their battles has surpassed everyone’s imagination.

Even the Ancient Ones from the past and the Pathfinders from the future never thought they would participate in such a brutal war.

As one of the rare Celestial Gods not taking sides in this war—Xiu Snake loitered in the southern waters, only its imposing head drooping on the hillside.

Even in this ancient time, Xiu Snake’s immense size far exceeded ordinary imagination.

Its head alone was as tall as a mountain, effortlessly swallowing a giant elephant.

Let alone, Xiu Snake’s length far exceeded his kin.

A river spanning thousands of kilometers was merely a temporary resting place for him.

Along the Bashu River that connects east to west, countless lifeforms dwell, including many intelligent human tribes.

To survive the conflict between Heng’e and the Great Golden Crow, all creatures along Bashu’s banks chose to offer sacrifices to Xiu Snake.

Amongst them, the human tribes’ sacrifices were most fervent, held nearly every year.

Offerings included grains, meat, slaves, even tribal priests, in plea for Xiu Snake to remain.

Over time, Xiu Snake’s form grew increasingly massive.

"Xiu Snake?"

Hearing someone calling its name.

In sleep, Xiu Snake slowly opened his eyes, raised his head towards the direction of the sound’s origin.

Yet with this simple move, Bashu River’s waters surged tumultuously, countless creatures were engulfed by the torrent amidst their wails.

Unfortunately, Xiu Snake wouldn’t care about them, nor glanced at them.

"Jinhong Clan, I’ve heard of you."

The deep voice rumbled like thunder between heaven and earth, Xiu Snake’s massive form embodying power at this moment.

"I’ve heard you vowed revenge for your mother, pledging to kill all Pathfinders."

"But I have no Pathfinders in my domain. What brings you here?"

As if responding to Xiu Snake’s words, a shadow nearby suddenly twisted.

Next second, the humanoid, serpentine-tailed Jinhong Clan appeared within Xiu Snake’s view.

Compared to five hundred years ago, Jinhong Clan had already crossed the Divine Gate Celestial Pass, only a step away from true pathfinding.

"I never vowed to kill all Pathfinders."

"It’s merely a coincidence that my revenge targets are Pathfinders."

Correcting Xiu Snake’s misconception, a hint of reminiscence flickered in Jinhong Clan’s eyes.

"No need for pointless words. I’m not in the mood for cryptic games."

"Exactly what brings you to my territory?"

For the irritable Xiu Snake to calmly inquire about the reason already exemplified Jinhong Clan’s five hundred years of prestigious reputation.

Were it someone else, Xiu Snake might skip asking altogether, swallowing the other whole.

"My brother said you were Emperor Hao’s close confidant."

"Therefore, I detoured here specifically to inquire about Emperor Hao’s whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Snake’s eyes widened in shock, its tone filled with disbelief.

"You consider Emperor Hao your revenge target this time?"
