Chapter 364: 211. The Crossing River Technique is really for crossing rivers!_2

He summoned the Blood Pool, then seated himself on the Lotus Platform.

Thirteen Yin Gods flew out, lifting this new Lotus Platform high into the air. As these Yin Gods vanished into ash and smoke, Tan Shuchang did not show the faintest trace of joy as he had in the past.

Because his comprehension of the “Crossing River Technique” had not changed in the slightest.

“Crossing River Technique? Crossing river?”

After muttering to himself several times, Tan Shuchang’s heart stirred slightly. This plain white palm would not frivolously write four characters just to annoy him—after all, that would be beneath its dignity. Therefore, he decided to try the most ordinary method.

The river was easy to find.@@@@

And so, it was not long before Tan Shuchang stood within a body of water, trying.

The first attempt yielded no effects.

After all, the foundation of this secret technique was for sneaking across the Land of the Four Pillars.

But Tan Shuchang did not give up; he continued trying.

However, not until a Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao, sporting several large bumps, drilled out from the water bottom, did Tan Shuchang find success.

Originally, this Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao was somewhat angry because it had been happily bumping into a peculiar stone in the underground river, and suddenly the water churned violently, even giving it several bumps despite its toughness.

However, upon seeing the instigator, its mood brightened immediately.

Because it recognized Tan Shuchang.

Tan Shuchang also recognized this Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao; the horns on its head were quite conspicuous.

This was his “Iron Head” niece.

“Uncle! Uncle!” the Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao’s voice was somewhat muffled. Although Mountain-Sea Beasts were known for their rapid growth, this one was still too young.

“Why is it you?” Tan Shuchang had already noticed the bumps on the Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao’s head, but he carried himself as naturally as if the waves just earlier had nothing to do with him.

“I... down there... found a... peculiar... stone...” The Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao did not respond to Tan Shuchang’s question, nor did it inquire why he, who had clearly ascended, still appeared in the Shenxu Heaven, but eagerly shared its discovery from the underground river with Tan Shuchang.

After listening, Tan Shuchang was somewhat surprised, because his “Iron Head” niece could directly shatter even upper realm Magic Artifacts with a collision, yet failed to smash a common large river stone.

Moreover, before his “Iron Head” niece had spoken, he not only had failed to sense that stone but also had not detected the presence of this Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao.

He had been certain there were no Mountain-Sea Beasts or large fish in the river before attempting the “Crossing River Technique” there.

Thus, Tan Shuchang accepted the Water Ze Mountain Thunder Jiao’s invitation and descended with it to the water bottom.

After all, in terms of closeness, Tan Shuchang was evidently the closer relative.

“Please lead the way, fellow Daoist. I’ll bring this niece of mine along,” Tan Shuchang offered proactively. Although this Mountain Sea Jiao should be the one that had competed with the Ancestor of the Dao, at this moment, it was simply his niece.

“Very well!”

The old turtle did not insist and turned to enter the river.

Seeing this, Tan Shuchang used the “Crossing River Technique.” Sure enough, this technique not only allowed Tan Shuchang to walk as if on flat ground but also enabled him to easily bring the Mountain Sea Jiao along.

Over the river, the flowing water seemed to solidify, transforming into a pathway that Tan Shuchang stepped upon, advancing steadily.

About an incense stick’s time later, the old turtle came to a halt.

Because they had reached the shore, but as they approached the bank, the place transformed into a mountain peak, and the old turtle turned into a black dragon.

“King of the Mountain and Sea, King Langshou, would you like me to carry you both up? This mountain is no ordinary one.”

“May I know what fellow Daoist requests?” Tan Shuchang inquired, knowing that no one would offer favors for no reason; there had to be some benefit sought.

“The request is not difficult, only that I hope fellow Daoist, after ascending, could inquire for me when I, this dragon with a turtle’s body, can ascend from trapped dragon to heaven,” the black dragon said immediately.

Tan Shuchang heard this and pondered for a while before nodding his head.

Right away, the black dragon let out a long roar and swept Tan Shuchang and the Mountain Sea Jiao up with the wind, flying towards the peak of the mountain. The mountain’s summit didn’t appear far, but as they flew up, various heavenly tribulations followed one after another—thunder, flames, frost... until they passed through a layer of five-colored clouds and then everything calmed down.

However, the black dragon vanished as well.

Tan Shuchang and the Mountain Sea Jiao had landed atop the mountain peak.

There was nothing particularly special about the summit, which was quite similar to typical mountain scenery. The only difference was the presence of a white-robed old man sitting there.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the white-robed old man remained seated and motionless, but raised his hand and casually pointed at several stones on the ground, then said, “Since you have arrived, then both of you should take a seat! However, the Sword Dao that I’ll be discussing... should be completely useless to you.”

The latter part of the sentence was aimed at Tan Shuchang while he looked at him.
