The Sunset River, an endless stretch of water, flows out from a tall mountain within the territory of the Heaven Tiger Empire.
It spans across five ranges and thirteen cities, beginning to ander near the vicinity of Heaven Illuminating City.
In many places, it curves like a U, with its clear, bottom-visible waters flowing languidly.
Heaven Illuminating City lies at the center of this U-shape, surrounded by water on three sides, with only one side serving as the main entrance.
By the ti Xu Zii arrived at Heaven Illuminating City, dusty and tired from his journey, it was almost afternoon.
The twilight stained the distant horizon, and a solitary bird spread its wings, soaring alone.
The residents of Heaven Illuminating City all knew that the na of the Sunset River was not chosen at random.
At sunset, the U-shaped waters would reflect the heavens, intertwining with the colors of the dusk sky.
The river would project the scenes of the setting sun, bathing the encircling Heaven Illuminating City in a reddish glow.
Standing on the edge of the city walls, one could almost see the sunset on the horizon interwoven with the ceaseless flow of the sunset in the river.
It ford a vista that would involuntarily elicit a Heaven Shaking awe and marvel at nature’s workmanship.
This was the most famous scenery of Heaven Illuminating City, and many people would co from far away just to witness this scene.
When Xu Zii arrived in Heaven Illuminating City, he could see that the city walls were crowded with people.
Looking around, surrounded by the clear, bottom-visible river reflecting the evening glow, he felt as if wrapped in twilight.
This kind of tranquil beauty was too precious to disturb.
Xu Zii entered the city and found an inn to rest for the night.
After making all arrangents, he went to the central square of the city, where the Teleportation Array was located, to ask around.
He had intended to use the Formation to leave for the Bright Moon Empire the next day, but, unfortunately, the person in charge of the Teleportation Array told Xu Zii it was broken.
And it was still under urgent repair, estimated to take about ten days.
Xu Zii had no choice but to wait in the city; after all, he certainly couldn’t walk to the Bright Moon Empire. It would waste even more ti.
What puzzled him, though, was that the Teleportation Array was of utmost importance to any city—how could it suddenly break?
...
The sky gradually darkened, and the lingering light of sunset vanished into the darkness.
The residents who had co on a whim returned to their hos in twos and threes, discussing among themselves.
In the deep spring season, the temperature was most comfortable, and occasionally a cool breeze would co, inexplicably liberating and relaxing.
Xu Zii ordered so food and drinks at the inn’s first floor and began to enjoy them leisurely.
At other tables, so residents who had just returned from watching the sunset at the city walls also sat nearby.
While savoring the day’s sunset scenery, they drank their wine with relish.
The sunset never repeats itself each day, so they watched a different landscape every day, never growing weary of it.
In the middle of their conversation, soone suddenly sighed and said, "In this troubleso autumn, I fear only the Sunset River can bring us so solace."
"Li Laosan, don’t go jinxing us with that crow’s mouth of yours," said a man in white sitting beside him.
"With the City Lord here, what’s there to fear?
Besides, the higher-ups of the Heaven Tiger Empire are already aware of the situation and are dispatching strong fighters over here. There won’t be any trouble."
"Why bother with these troubleso matters? Let’s talk about sothing happier," the third person laughed.
"I’ve heard that the City Lord’s daughter is going to choose a suitor tomorrow. When she throws the embroidered ball, are you guys going to give it a try?"
"Co off it, Li Laosan hasn’t got the gall," the man in white laughed after downing a glass of wine.
"If he dares to go, his wife would make his life a living hell."
"Stop talking nonsense," Li Laosan glared at the man in white and said indifferently.
"Tomorrow, I’m going with my wife to watch the fun. I won’t be trying to catch it anyway."
"Although hardly anyone has seen the City Lord’s daughter face to face, she rarely steps outside,
word has it that she’s quite a beauty. Whoever marries her is bound to enjoy the blessings of many—a real catch."
```
"And even get to connect with the City Lord to beco his son-in-law!"
Listening to the conversation of the people beside him, Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brows, raised his cup, and drained it in one gulp.
It seed that sothing had happened in Heaven Illuminating City, and the Teleportation Array’s issues didn’t arise out of nowhere.
However, the excitent of tomorrow could be worth checking out, since there was nothing else for him to do here.
Xu Zii only hoped that the Teleportation Array would be fixed soon, allowing him to proceed to the Bright Moon Empire.
He was too lazy to care about the other matters.
...
After finishing his al, Xu Zii returned to his room.
At that mont, his True Fate World was quite lively.
The World Tree was hidden in the void, managing the plant system of the Divine Continent.
The mysterious Bauhinia Flower was shrouded in an increasingly thick mist, its six petals had all blood,
with six different patterns appearing on the petals, though currently, the patterns were too blurry for Xu Zii to see clearly.
anwhile, the Forgetfulness Tree took root in the sea beyond the Divine Continent, gradually healing its injuries.
The entire tree was covered with lush Oblivion Fruit.
Xu Zii sectioned off a part of the ocean, exclusively for the Forgetfulness Tree’s use.
Every ti his Oblivion Fruit ripened, Xu Zii would rge it into the seawater.
He aid to, over ti, create a brand new Yellow Spring River.
The Chaos Pearl suppressed the entire world, but ever since the Heavenly Dao was nurtured, it had gradually beco the new world’s Dominator.
As for the Wind Extinguishing Bead, it was kept together with the Taiying Youying that Xu Zii had obtained before,
both being nurtured by the Pure Moon Altar.
Lately, Xu Zii had been contemplating the "Demonic Skills."
"Demonic Skills" had ten techniques, starting with the first one, "Illusory Demon Technique."
This technique spoke of the ultimate in spatial manipulation.
Developing the use of space to its utmost limits.
Traversing space, freezing space, Dinsional Space—these are all applications of space.
The path of space is far too complex; many spend their lives rely grasping the surface.
In fact, since entering the Saint Vein Realm, Xu Zii could also traverse space.
But this was ultimately short-distance, and if he were to traverse longer distances, first, the risk was significant, and second, the coordinates of traversal couldn’t be confird.
This was precisely why he chose to use the Teleportation Array.
...
Xu Zii sat cross-legged, quietly understanding the way of space within.
Bits of spatial force began to condense around him, the space force lacking color among the five elents.
Because Xu Zii was already able to manipulate space simply, the initial understanding wasn’t difficult for him.
Strands of spatial force surrounded him, and the space around him began to distort and fluctuate.
As ti passed, the spatial force grew stronger.
Xu Zii slowly extended his hands, his left hand striking towards his right.
The distance between his palms seed close, but when they collided, they passed through layers of space,
never able to touch each other.
Xu Zii drew a deep breath; it was a re Dinsional Space.
The two hands appeared close, but in fact, they weren’t in the sa dinsion.
