Chapter 1690 - 1487: The Nine-Colored Gift

"Damn, what’s going on? Could it be that the inscriptions are fake? Just a ruse?" Fu Yi was a bit annoyed, cursed, and in anger, even activated the Devouring Immortal Body to directly devour the Immortal River.

If you won’t gift me, I’ll devour you whole, old man.

Unfortunately...

He had overthought.

Although the Devouring Immortal Body is extremely terrifying, it’s not invincible. If it could devour anything, Fu Yi would have devoured his way straight to a Ninth-level Civilization, instead of mingling in the Second-level Civilization of Ze.

Moreover, Fu Yi’s Devouring Immortal Body had just been activated and was still very weak.

Thus, there was no reaction at all.

No devouring.

Fu Yi’s expression was uncertain, feeling very embarrassed.

"Fu Yi, perhaps what is written on the inscription is just talk and not real," Sui Jian said, trying to comfort and please Fu Yi.

"Exactly." Fu Ren nodded earnestly, "What nonsense Immortal River, all a ruse."

Fu Yi nodded, "Maybe."

Outside.

"What’s going on????" Fu Tonghai was anxious, "Buried Immortal City Lord, is there something wrong with the Immortal River?"

Everyone looked at the Buried Immortal City Lord.

"It shouldn’t be!" The Buried Immortal City Lord furrowed his brows, since the Immortal River has appeared, it must have been awakened by resonance, and it should surely gift something to the one who awakened it; no problem at all!

At this moment...

Confused.

Just at this moment.

"Wow, such a wide, beautiful, and awe-inspiring river." Inside the Secret Realm, a voice of surprise and excitement rippled out.

It was Ning Qingqing.

Ning Qingqing arrived, and naturally Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing had arrived as well.

"Qingqing?" Fu Yi looked towards Ning Qingqing.

"Brother Fu Yi, Young Master Fu Ren, we knew you would come too." Ning Qingqing was delighted, couldn’t help but glare at Ye Tian, "Brother Fu Yi is here, let’s see how arrogant you can be? Proud of yourself?"

"Immortal Venerate Realm Eighth Layer?" Xuan Chuqing’s breath shuddered sharply, somewhat shocked.

"Hehe... Miss Xuan, shocked? There are many talents out there, not like some people who, with a bit of strength and a hint of talent, think they’re something special, all high and mighty." Ning Qingqing chuckled, looking at Ye Tian with undisguised mockery.

In a very good mood.

However, Ye Tian didn’t even glance at Ning Qingqing, nor did he look at Fu Yi.

Instead, he headed directly towards the shore.

Very soon.

Approaching the shore.

"Little ant, what are you going to do? What? Even you want to try the Immortal River’s gift? Are you going to claim the Immortal River appeared because of you? That you awakened the Immortal River?" Fu Ren wasn’t in a good mood because Fu Yi didn’t succeed in receiving the Immortal River’s gift, and now Ye Tian dared to approach the Immortal River’s shore, of course he wouldn’t let it go?

"Hahahahaha..." The other participants present also laughed aloud, finding it quite amusing.

Although Fu Yi didn’t receive the Immortal River’s gift successfully, everyone felt it was an issue with the Immortal River itself.

Yes, either there was no gift or if there was, it can only be granted to Fu Yi, no doubt!

The others weren’t even thinking of embarrassing themselves?

Especially when it’s someone who isn’t even at the Immortal Realm—a trash.

Courage is commendable!

Xuan Chuqing and Ning Qingqing walked towards the River Tablet.

Looked at the inscription.

Quickly, they understood about the Immortal River’s awakening, resonance, gift, and so on.

Ning Qingqing just wanted to say something...

But at this moment.

After Ye Tian reached the shore.

Suddenly!!!!!

Luminous waves spread.

The stars, sun, and moon floating above the Immortal River brightened much more.

Immortal aura churned.

Immortal chants sounded.

The Immortal River flowed.

Utterly striking and splendid.

And just then, from under Ye Tian’s feet, a celestial bridge formed from luminous waves of immortal aura, just... just... just appeared.

Amid stuporous gazes.

Ye Tian stepped out, walking onto the celestial bridge.

"Impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!" Fu Yi’s expression quivered, turning fierce, with jealousy anarchizing his aura, disbelief etched on his face, tremoring as he performed his movement technique, wanting to catch up to Ye Tian, attempting to forcefully step onto the celestial bridge.

But just as he stepped out from the shore with one foot, before stepping onto the celestial bridge.

"Boom..."

Fu Yi felt an endless force suddenly blocking him.

His whole body bounced back.

Blood marked the corners of his mouth.

Minor injuries.

The Immortal River did not permit him to ascend the bridge!

This bridge was evidently prepared for Ye Tian!

"The Immortal River truly wants to gift it to that jerk Ye Tian, and not Brother Fu Yi? Doesn’t that mean...the Immortal River considers Ye Tian’s talent and strength greater than Brother Fu Yi’s? What a joke?" Ning Qingqing was dumbfounded, felt her mind being scrambled, a bit chaotic.

Outside.

Inside and outside the guest hall.

Everyone stared at each other.

"This is absolutely impossible!!!!!!!" Fu Tonghai lost his composure, his aura becoming agitated, eyes reddening.

Angered, incredulous, driving his emotions into a frenzy of Real Space, even the terrifying aura of an Immortal Emperor realm leaked out, causing many Martial Arts Practitioners with slightly weaker strength nearby to suffocate.

Fu Tonghai abruptly looked towards the Buried Immortal City Lord, demanding, "Brother Ning, what on earth is happening?!"

"Well..." The Buried Immortal City Lord was also dumbfounded.

"Brother Ning, that person isn’t even in the Immortal Realm!" Fu Tonghai’s voice rose considerably, clinging to the last thread of hope, "Brother Ning, be honest, does the appearance of the celestial bridge necessarily mean the Immortal River’s gift?"

Indeed!

Though the celestial bridge appeared, though it seemed only Ye Tian could ascend it, it does not necessarily equate to the Immortal River’s gift!

Many present turned their eyes towards the Buried Immortal City Lord, eagerly awaiting his response.

The Buried Immortal City Lord gave a bitter smile.

This...

To speak the truth.

The Buried Immortal City Lord nodded, "Yes, this celestial bridge can only be ascended by the recipient of the gift."
