The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms
Chapter 2285 - Chapter 2285 Chapter 2281 River of Dao Intent_1

Chapter 2285: Chapter 2281: River of Dao Intent_1 Chapter 2285: Chapter 2281: River of Dao Intent_1 Yang Chen chose to meet Zhang Xuelian at this location, not just for their private rendezvous.

By accompanying Zhang Xuelian in the secret realm, it was like having a pair of night vision eyes in the pitch-black environment.

As the Chosen One with the ability to perform calculations, Zhang Xuelian could open up many possibilities for him.

This was also one of the reasons for their rendezvous.

Of course, their mutual affection made it natural for them to explore the Great Secret Realm together.

Now meeting Zhang Xuelian, her expression remained as cold as frost, with no change.

“Yang Chen, I have calculated your fortune!” Zhang Xuelian came forward and calmly declared.

“How is it?” Yang Chen asked in confusion, “Will our journey in the Great Secret Realm go smoothly?”

“Not smoothly!” Zhang Xuelian replied bluntly.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but be puzzled, “Not smoothly? What’s wrong?”

“I once calculated that you would face a great catastrophe soon, but couldn’t figure out exactly where it would happen. When we came to the secret realm, I made another calculation and found that you will face a life-and-death catastrophe in this Great Secret Realm! If you overcome it, you will soar to great heights; if you fail, you will die.” Zhang Xuelian said.

Yang Chen’s surprise was hard to hide, “Could it be that terrifying?”

When he first entered the Great Secret Realm, he never felt that any of the Enlightenment Stage cultivators could threaten him.

Even against Nirvana Stage powerhouses, he remained confident in confronting them. But now, Zhang Xuelian was telling him that if he was careless this time, he might end up dead?

“I understand. I indeed cannot take this trip lightly.” Yang Chen said.

“Don’t worry, I will accompany you through this catastrophe.” Zhang Xuelian gazed at Yang Chen without backing down, speaking candidly.

Yang Chen showed a smile, “With you by my side, I’m much more at ease. Now, let’s find the Jin Yang Fluid first.”

“Follow me. I know of a place.” Zhang Xuelian said softly.

Yang Chen looked delighted.

It was advantageous to follow Zhang Xuelian. Unlike others who went in blindly, they could quickly find a place with Jin Yang Fluid.

Together, they traversed the Great Secret Realm.

Along the way, he learned a lot from Zhang Xuelian.

The Secret Realm would open in different vast lands, with different entrances. But the Secret Realms were interconnected, making it easy to encounter foreign tribesmen.

Initially, it was fine since all human entrances were unified, and this region was temporarily inhabited by humans.

But as time went on, other foreign tribesmen would come to rampage, and the situation would change.

“The area we’ve entered is at the edge of the Great Secret Realm, where Jin Yang Fluid is scarce. There aren’t many treasures, and if we want to get more Jin Yang Fluid, we have to cross this region and head to a larger area – the Central Region of the Great Secret Realm. There, it will be the center of disputes among various clans, as it is rich in resources and has the most Jin Yang Fluid. Even King Divine Tools can be found there…” Zhang Xuelian said gently while soaring through the sky.

Yang Chen gradually understood, “That’s not a problem; location isn’t the key, as long as we get Jin Yang Fluid, any danger is worth it.”

Zhang Xuelian’s face flushed slightly before returning to normal.

As the two of them continued on their journey, they eventually slowed down.

Now, the two stood before a massive river, and many human cultivators had gathered above it. However, most of the cultivators had not dared to cross it, indicating that there was something off about this river.

Upon seeing it, Yang Chen felt the peculiarity of the river. Its waters were as black as ink, and within it rose an eerie power, as if containing the Dao Intent of those in the Enlightenment Stage. Anyone attempting to cross it would pay a heavy price.

“Look, it’s Yang Chen!”

“And Zhang Xuelian!”

“It seems the rumors are true. The two are indeed a match made in heaven.”

“They’re indeed enviable.”

“Yang Chen and Zhang Xuelian have both arrived.”

Many cultivators discussed. Most of them were members of the Twelve Great Forces, but not all had arrived, such as the Taiyi Sect, Xuandao Sect led by Yang Chen, and the Cloud Sky Sect, which had not yet reached this location.

Nevertheless, there was still a large crowd of people in front of the Black River, with many Enlightenment Stage cultivators forming teams to try and cross it.

“I refuse to believe I, an honorable Dao King, can’t cross this river!”

A Dao King powerhouse stared at the Black River, scratching his head and cheeks, but finally decided to charge across.

But just as he crossed the river, a surge of terrifying power emerged from it, comparable to the Dao Intent of the Enlightenment Stage. It instantly seemed like a powerful hand trying to grab the Dao King.

This scared him out of his wits, and he immediately cried, “Save me!”

His fellow disciples didn’t hesitate and used their Dao Intent to forcefully pull him in. Finally, after some struggle, they managed to save him.

Even so, the Dao King was still frightened half to death, and his body went limp upon returning. Breathing raggedly, he looked at the Black River with terror, and it seemed like he would never attempt to cross it again.

Yang Chen watched all this in disbelief.

The people who had arrived here early were mostly from the advance teams of various forces.

Yes, the elite members of the Twelve Great Forces were the ones who came to this place early. That’s why at first glance, most of the cultivators were Dao Kings, even with some Dao Venerate experts among them.

However, most of the Dao Venerate experts considered themselves of high status and rarely spoke to others.

Since these Dao Kings couldn’t cross the Black River, it was clear how bizarre this river was.

“What’s the story behind this Black River? Why can it use Dao Intent?” Yang Chen found it strange.

“This Black River is called the River of Dao Intent. It is a naturally formed dangerous area, akin to a heavenly calamity or earthly disaster. The Great Secret Realm is so immense that there are countless disasters, many as common as cow hair. This Black River is just one, albeit a rather dangerous one.” Zhang Xuelian explained in a gentle voice, as if there was nothing she didn’t know. “This river is mentioned in ancient books related to the Great Secret Realm. When it was first formed, it had no Dao Intent. However, the Dao Intent of those who died in the river would be gradually absorbed by the Black River, which then inherited the Dao Intent of the deceased. Over time, the Dao Intent became more and more terrifying, and more people died in it. It then became difficult for anyone to cross it.”
