The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2591 - 2580: Eternal River Domain

"Master, I’ve earned enough living up to today, and to resist the Hes sounds like an interesting task. Even if it ends in eternal damnation, I’m willing to follow you," Fan Qianrong said earnestly.

Shen Xiutian also said, "Benefactor, as for the Shens, there’s no need to say more. All the sons of the Shens are of one heart, and we too are willing to follow you."

Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

"Senior Ye, I’ve heard you’re a supreme alchemist. Please guide us in alchemy in the future," Lu Shuncai said.

Duan Guangzhi immediately followed, "Senior Ye, we are also willing to accompany you to the Upper World."

Ye Chenfeng had just witnessed the performance of these two elders, Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi. He nodded and said, "If that’s the case, assemble all the disciples of the Shens immediately; we need to leave here quickly."

Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to linger in this cultivator city for long. After issuing the order, Shen Xiutian immediately instructed the Shens’ Great Elder to gather the Shen family members.

Both Shen Xiutian and Shen Xiuhai personally went to organize the Shen family’s resources.

Waiting in place, Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi began eagerly asking Ye Chenfeng various questions about alchemy, questions that had troubled them for a long time.

As they each posed alchemy questions they had encountered, with nothing else to do while waiting, Ye Chenfeng patiently explained their queries. As a genuine supreme alchemist, Ye Chenfeng had his own understanding of alchemy, and with Old Bai’s exhaustive teachings from before, guiding these two elders was a matter of ease.

With Ye Chenfeng answering one alchemy question after another for them,

Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi’s expressions began to change. Each time Ye Chenfeng helped them answer a question, they felt a refreshing enlightenment, and their respect for Ye Chenfeng grew. They deeply appreciated Ye Chenfeng’s profound alchemy achievements.

When Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi wished to ask more, Fan Qianrong interjected, "Master, a little guidance is enough. These two old guys have thick skin, but I’m your true disciple!"

Upon hearing this.

Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi immediately protested. The temperament of these two was quite peculiar; they simultaneously knelt before Ye Chenfeng, straightforwardly.

Lu Shuncai said, "Senior Ye, please accept me as your disciple."

Duan Guangzhi also said, "Senior Ye, please take me in!"

Their simultaneous kneeling left Ye Chenfeng feeling helpless. He could tell these two wouldn’t stand up unless he agreed.

In resignation, Ye Chenfeng could only say, "There’s really no need for this; I’ll guide you in alchemy in the future. Stand up."

Lu Shuncai cheerfully rose, "I’ll consider it as you agreeing."

Duan Guangzhi declared firmly, "From now on, I will continuously follow you, Master, no matter which forces we contend with, I’ll never hesitate."

Fan Qianrong looked at the two old men, Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi, laughing, "I entered before you two did; from now on, I’m your senior brother."

"Crazy old man, do you really deserve to be our senior brother? It’s whoever’s alchemy skills are superior that should be senior brother," Duan Guangzhi said.

"Indeed," Lu Shuncai nodded in agreement.

After Duan Guangzhi and Lu Shuncai became disciples of Ye Chenfeng, Shen Xiutian and Shen Xiuhai, who went to organize the Shen family’s resources, returned.

An increasing number of the Shen family elders and disciples gathered, while Shen Tingyu complexly gazed at Ye Chenfeng. Not only had her master become Ye Chenfeng’s disciple, but even Lu Shuncai and Duan Guangzhi had also joined.

As the Shen family’s members were nearly fully integrated.

With a resounding "Boom!"

The ground suddenly shook violently with no warning, drawing everyone’s gaze toward the west.

In the far west, they saw an immense torrent of blue river water surge into the sky.

This unexpected scene made Ye Chenfeng furrow his brows.

Shen Xiutian exclaimed in surprise, "The Eternal River Domain?"

Fan Qianrong added, "Does the Eternal River Domain show signs of opening? Isn’t it supposed to open in a hundred years?"

Ye Chenfeng asked in doubt, "What is the Eternal River Domain?"

Shen Xiuhai and the others began explaining the origins of the Eternal River Domain to Ye Chenfeng, one after another.

Legend has it that during the Chaos Era,

a peerless figure whose cultivation was at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm, though he was actually nearing Eternal Life.

With his own power, he forged a colossal river whose waters had definite benefits for cultivators.

Later, he built a city beside the river, naming it "Eternal City."

In the Chaos Era, anyone who could enter Eternal City had to have strength on par with that peerless figure.

Over time, people bestowed upon that figure the title "Eternal Emperor."

The Eternal Emperor was a prominent figure during the Chaos Era.

It’s said that within Eternal City, many of the Eternal Emperor’s collections existed, but during the catastrophe of the Chaos Era, even the Eternal Emperor was not spared.

Afterward, both Eternal City and the Eternal River Domain opened by the Eternal Emperor disappeared.

Entering the end of the Ancient Era, the Eternal River Domain reappeared. Only those chosen by the Eternal River Domain could enter, otherwise even those at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm couldn’t break in.

From then, the Eternal River Domain reappeared every two hundred years and lasted for a month each time.

It’s said that the vanished Eternal City lies underneath the Eternal River Domain, and if one can enter the Eternal River Domain and gain its approval, they can enter the Eternal City of old.

Others say the Eternal Emperor didn’t die and has been in a dormant state beneath the Eternal River Domain.

Various theories abound.

Fan Qianrong and the others found it odd that the Eternal River Domain opened early this time. There had been no precedent of the Eternal River Domain ever opening ahead of schedule, causing their astonishment.

Ye Chenfeng gazed toward the distant west, observing the blue river waters surging into the sky with a hint of a smile on his lips.

After hearing Shen Xiuhai and the others’ account, he understood that opportunities surely lay beneath the Eternal River Domain. It seemed he must visit the Eternal River Domain before heading to the Upper World.

He was also quite interested in the Eternal Emperor, who was close to Eternal Life. Perhaps he might uncover some clues toward Eternal Life beneath the Eternal River Domain. However, needing to be chosen by the domain to enter added to his concern, as he wasn’t sure if he would be selected.
