5043 Crossing the Heavenly River

It was impossible for a harmless little boy to exist in Desolation, which was a world that had been silent for countless years.

Now that such a situation had occurred, it was even more suspicious.

This had to make Chang Ling speculate more, because it was really too out of common sense.

She began to think about how to retreat.

Seeing that she did not speak, the little boy who was lying on the back of the green bull suddenly sat up straight. His pair of dark and bright eyes looked straight at Chang Ling. "Are you afraid of me?"

She remained silent, not knowing how to answer.

At this moment, an angry voice sounded, "Get lost!"

Chang Ling turned pale with fright. Only now did she remember that she was still pressing down on the Young Emperor and hurriedly stood up to retreat.

"S-Sorry…" Her face flushed red as she spoke in embarrassment.

The Young Emperor sat up abruptly and looked at her with cold killing intent. "If there's a next time, I'll take your life!"

Chang Ling knew that she was in the wrong and could not argue, she could only sulk.

Then, he propped himself up and stood up with difficulty. He was almost on the verge of collapsing.

It was only at this moment that the Young Emperor saw a boy riding a bull behind him.

He subconsciously touched his waist, only to realize that his soft sword had been left in the beast's eyes.

"Who are you?"

The Young Emperor slowly retreated and stared at the child on the back of the Green Bull.

"Can't you tell? I'm a cow herder," the little boy said crisply.

He was stunned. Herding cows? Herding cows in Desolation?

This was unbelievable.

"What, you don't believe me?" the little boy spoke again.

The cautious and suspicious Young Emperor did not say much. Instead, he was thinking about how to leave.

At this moment, Chang Ling opened her mouth, "Yes, of course I do. It's just that it's so dangerous here, how did you manage to survive until now?"

When the little boy heard this, he took off the bamboo hat on his head. "No, I've always been here alone. Well, I guess I also have this bull as company. We've always been like this. How could there be any danger?""

Chang Ling and the Young Emperor were slightly startled, and they were beginning to have doubts.

Just the giant beast that almost killed them could prove that Desolation was not simple.

However, when she saw the serious look on the little boy's face, she was puzzled.

At this moment, the Young Emperor dragged his Immortal body that had yet to recover and left.

Seeing this scene, Chang Ling also subconsciously wanted to follow, but she stopped in her tracks, somewhat at a loss.

"Who are you looking for?"

The small child leaped down from the back of the Green Bull and landed steadily on the ground. He raised his head and looked sincerely at Chang Ling.

She hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "Have you seen a young Immortal here? The kind with a unique aura, the kind that's unforgettable."

When the child heard this, he grinned, "I have never seen him before. I said that ever since I had spiritual consciousness, there was only me and a Green Bull here. There were no other Yan Immortals."

Chang Ling was speechless. She really wanted to retort and prove that there was no one else here, but she felt that there was no need.

She forced a smile. "In that case, I shall not bother you any longer. I'll go and look for him alone."

After Chang Ling finished speaking, she nodded slightly and continued forward.

The boy turned his head and looked at the figure that had disappeared into the distance. "I'll search with you."

Just as Chang Ling was about to decline, she realized that the GrBen bull had already come to her side. It raised its head and let out a heavy voice, as if it was urging her to move forward.

"Moo-"

She was helpless, but seeing that Green Bull Boy had no ill intentions, she decided to go together.

In the vast expansive world, the ancient clouds and mist could not be dispersed. Everything was occupied by desolation and loneliness. Time had long lost its meaning.

In this world, the only real thing was loneliness.

"Moo-"

...

His body was covered in blood, and his white clothes were stained. His thin and weak figure was on the verge of collapse, as if he could fall at any time.

However, he was extremely tenacious. Although he was on the verge of collapse, he still moved forward firmly.

Chang Ling followed closely behind, maintaining a distance that was not too close. She wanted to step forward to support him, but she was also somewhat afraid.

Looking at that determined figure, the impression she had deep down in her heart had quietly changed.

At the same time, she had many doubts in her heart. The Young Emperor did not seem to be as unreasonable, violent, and unreasonable as the rumors said. Although he was a little frivolous and lecherous, he was still approachable.

Chang Ling let her imagination run wild as she followed him unhurriedly into the depths of Desolation.

There was no sound except for the low cry of the Green Bull.

After an unknown period of time, a Heavenly River blocked their path.

The width of the Heavenly River almost split Desolation into two.

The dark and lightless celestial river was like a void that had been silent for thousands of years, enough to devour everything.

Chang Ling also caught up to him, standing beside this boundless river, her gaze somewhat solemn.

Just as she was thinking about how to cross the Heavenly River, the Young Emperor did not hesitate to fly into the sky.

Then, his Immortal body's injuries were far from recovering. Coupled with his dizzy mind, he directly fell into the Heavenly River after flying less than a hundred miles.

There were no splashes. It was as if he had directly fused into it, which was extremely strange.

Seeing this scene, Chang Ling trembled. In shock, she did not have time to think and also flew into the river.

However, an even more bizarre scene appeared. Almost at the same time she stepped on the river, her Immortal body lost control and she could noot use the Yan power in her meridians at all.

The river below her had an indescribable and irresistible suction force that made her, as a Grand Yan Immortal, unable to cross it.

In an instant, she followed in the footsteps of the Young Emperor and fell straight into the river. There was not even a single splash.

A faint sigh came from the shore. The little boy sitting on the back of the Green Bull shook his head. There was an old look in his eyes that did not match his appearance.

Then, facing the boundless Heavenly River, he rode down on his bull.

The green bull raised its head and mooed. Then, its huge body swam on the surface of the water and actually did not sink.

It was like a lone boat, moving forward in the Heavenly River.

The little boy riding on the back of the Green Bull seemed to be used to it, driving the bull under him to cross slowly.

When it passed by the place where they landed, the Green Bull's head dived down and then an unconscious figure appeared.

The little boy stretched out his hand to receive it, then placed the unconscious Chang Ling on the bull's back and continued forward.

After a few dozen breaths, the Young Emperor's figure was also found and placed on the back of the Green Bull.

It was like sitting in a lonely boat, moving forward alone.

At the end of the Heavenly River, the barren mountains that towered into the sky were filled with a silent and desolate aura.

The Green Bull surfaced and stood on the shore.

The little boy patted its horns, turned around, and gently waved his hand, placing the Young Emperor and Chang Ling on the ground.
