Guarding the River of Time
Chapter 574 - 564: Opening Up a New Long River! A Worldview Overturned!
The structure of this design blueprint is a forging platform built on the river.
Moreover, the location of the water where the forging platform is established happens to be at the confluence of nine streams, with the platform situated in the most turbulent waters.
Su Mu looked left and right, not seeming to notice anything peculiar.
Isn’t it just about finding a confluence of nine tributaries and building a platform to place the forge?
Is it that difficult?
....
"It shouldn’t be difficult, right?" Su Mu put down the blueprint in his hands, looking at Wu Di with a face full of doubt.
Hearing this, Wu Di shook his head and said, "It might not be difficult for Brother Su, but for me, it’s as hard as climbing to the sky."
"So, I can only seek Brother Su’s help."
"Especially the meeting point of the nine tributaries, I’ve been searching for a very long time and couldn’t find it..."
Upon saying this, Su Mu’s divine sense burst forth, instantly covering the Long River as he began searching for a suitable location.
After a dozen breaths, Su Mu opened his eyes and retracted his divine sense.
He found it, found the environmental conditions required by the blueprint.
"I found it."
Upon hearing this, Wu Di’s eyes widened with disbelief.
After searching for so many years without a clue, Brother Su found it just like that?!
So this is Brother Su’s strength?!
"However, it’s a bit far from your cave abode," Su Mu said.
To satisfy the requirement of nine tributaries converging at one point is indeed demanding, but fortunately, the river he guards is vast with numerous and intricate tributaries.
"I can move," Wu Di said without any hesitation.
....
"Brother Su, please lead the way."
Wu Di cupped his fists toward Su Mu.
Su Mu nodded and then led Wu Di towards the main riverway.
After taking a few steps, Su Mu realized something, turned around, and asked Wu Di, "Aren’t you taking your things?"
"I already did, the materials for artifact forging are all in here." Wu Di made a sweeping gesture, pulling out the Treasure Pearl.
"What about those weapons?" When Su Mu left, he only saw Wu Di take the Treasure Pearl meant for storing materials, leaving the weapons on the walls behind.
"Leave them there, they are of no use to me, and Brother Su, you probably wouldn’t care for them either," Wu Di said indifferently.
The weapons he collected were merely his practice works, part of honing his skill; if lost, they are lost.
He originally wanted to give them all to Su Mu, but thinking further, even a dagger casually taken out by Brother Su could easily surpass his magical treasures, so he ultimately refrained from offering.
....
Upon hearing that, Su Mu was momentarily speechless.
He wanted to say... since when is he not interested?!
Wu Di sure is something!
The unsatisfactory weapons are thrown into the pit, the satisfactory ones hang on the wall, but it seems there’s no difference between the two!
"Throwing them here will be a bargain for passersby," Su Mu said faintly.
Saying this, Wu Di understood, returned inside, collected all the weapons into the space ring, and handed the space ring over to Su Mu saying, "Brother Su, you might not care for these magical treasures, but they are the fruits of my years of work."
"If you don’t mind, please do me the honor and accept them."
Having said so much, Su Mu "reluctantly" accepted them.
What can he say...?
He’s not particularly interested in the magical treasures themselves; he simply thinks leaving them here would be a waste for others!
.....
Su Mu came to the "garbage pit," made a grand gesture, and collected all those weapons Wu Di considered garbage.
These magical treasures are not garbage at all; each one is a supreme treasure.
Though not particularly useful to Su Mu himself, he can store them as "startup capital" for the future. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Leaving them here would be such a waste!
Seeing this, Wu Di was momentarily stunned and quickly said, "Brother Su, let me, I’ll take care of this garbage and just throw it in the river!"
He thought, since Brother Su is the River Guardian, it’s impolite to casually throw garbage on the shore.
....
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was taken aback.
What kind of thought process is Wu Di operating on?!
His first reaction was thinking Su Mu was helping him clean up garbage?!
It seems these unsatisfactory magical treasures truly are just garbage in his eyes!
....
"Ahem, it’s alright, I’ll handle it all," Su Mu lightly coughed and said.
With this move, Su Mu literally cleared out Wu Di’s possessions. Though Wu Di himself didn’t care, Su Mu still felt a bit awkward.
Wu Di doesn’t care about the magical treasures themselves; he cares about the process of forging them.
But the magical treasures he crafted, whether discarded or hung on the wall, out in the world, could easily incite a storm over any one of them.
.....
On the journey, Su Mu grew weary of Wu Di’s slow pace.
Immediately, he grabbed him, starting to teleport and flash across the Long River!
These actions left Wu Di utterly dumbfounded.
On the River of Time, he could only take it step by step, not daring to move too quickly.
Brother Su, on the other hand, was teleporting and flashing on the River of Time!
.....
A journey that would take Wu Di several days, Su Mu reached in just three breaths.
The two stood on a small floating island, gazing at the turbulent waters ahead.
They were positioned right at the junction of several tributaries, with all being major streams.
After these major streams collided and converged, it formed the scene before them.
Wu Di absorbed the view ahead, eyes wide, with excitement glimmering in his pupils.
One, two...eight?
Wu Di counted several times, finding only eight, not nine.
Nine tributaries of the River of Time are essential, even one less wouldn’t work.
"Brother Su, it doesn’t seem like there are nine..." Wu Di asked with a puzzled face.
.....
"Don’t worry, it’ll be there soon."
With that, Su Mu lifted into the air, standing on the Long River, and with a wave of his hand, a Black Axe appeared.
As soon as the Black Axe appeared, a powerful sense of oppression emanated from it.
Wu Di’s gaze was fixated on the Black Axe in Su Mu’s hands, eyes widened.
What... what kind of weapon is this?!
Holding the Black Axe, Su Mu locked onto a section of the riverbank adjacent to the main river.
The next second, Su Mu’s aura surged, and he slashed at the riverbank with the axe!
Bang—
A loud noise resonated throughout the waters.
The scene that unfolded next completely upended Wu Di’s worldview.
As the riverbank was forcibly slashed open by the Black Axe, water from the main river flowed through the gap.
Soon, a brand new tributary was created by Su Mu just like that!
Witnessing this, Wu Di stood there, eyes wide with shock.
