The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2592 - 2581: An Epoch-Making Trap?

Divine Source World.

Western side of the Middle Realm.

Here lies a vast blue lake.

Part of the water from the lake is rushing toward the sky, with no intention of falling back down.

There’s a strange force flowing within this blue lake.

Gathered around the lake are cultivators, for this lake is the Eternal River Domain.

On the right shore of the Eternal River Domain, stand a plain-looking young man and an old man full of wrinkles.

They are Ye Chenfeng and Shen Xiutian.

Upon seeing signs that the Eternal River Domain is about to open, Ye Chenfeng suggested visiting it, and naturally, no one objected. With so many people heading to the Eternal River Domain, it can be said that many hands make light work.

Now, the area within the small world of the Chaos Ring is vast, and Ye Chenfeng has brought all the Shens into the small world.

He specifically carved out a space in the small world, enough for these people to move around.

After all, one cannot be too cautious; with so many people in the Shen family, who knows if there’s someone with malicious intentions?

So, after carving out a space, they can only move within that area.

Even Shen Xiuhai and others were left in the small world.

Ye Chenfeng only allowed Shen Xiutian, who is at the late stage of the Divine Emperor Realm, to accompany him. The matters of Ye Chenfeng and the Shen family had surely spread, and although they could disguise themselves, if their identities were exposed, they wouldn’t have time to leave with so many people.

After disguising themselves, Ye Chenfeng and Shen Xiutian both concealed their energy.

Ye Chenfeng’s aura fluctuated at the late stage of the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm, while Shen Xiutian’s aura was at the middle stage of the Divine Emperor Realm.

They had been at the Eternal River Domain for some time, watching as cultivators continuously arrived, all heading straight into the Eternal River Domain.

Depending on their strength, they can extract a certain amount of Eternal Water from the Eternal River Domain. The stronger the individual, the more Eternal Water they can extract, but each person can only obtain it once.

The Eternal River Domain is very peculiar; although cultivators can obtain Eternal Water, their bodies cannot enter the bottom of the domain. They can only stand on the surface of the lake, as the Eternal River Domain won’t allow anyone to sink—impossible even for a peak Divine Emperor.

Those cultivators who came around the Eternal River Domain all stood on the surface of the lake, extracting a certain amount of Eternal Water.

Some cultivators, after obtaining Eternal Water, began to drink it immediately.

Some cultivators with injuries dripped Eternal Water on their wounds, which originally were battered and bloody, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It seems the Eternal River Domain truly lives up to its name. Some cultivators, after obtaining some Eternal Water, opted not to consume it themselves but went to the shore.

There were dedicated buyers of Eternal Water on the shore; for loose cultivators, trading Eternal Water here could bring them a significant income.

After observing for a while, Ye Chenfeng stepped toward the Eternal River Domain, with Shen Xiutian closely following.

The Eternal River Domain had opened so many times before, but unfortunately, Shen Xiutian had never entered the bottom of the domain.

Standing on the surface of the lake, Ye Chenfeng also extracted a certain amount of Eternal Water.

Nearby, Shen Xiutian transmitted: "Benefactor, Eternal Water indeed has its marvelous uses. You might want to save it; it could come in handy later."

Ye Chenfeng nodded, sensing the Eternal Water in his palm. At first, he felt nothing.

But when he tried to absorb its energy, the Dragon Clan Leader’s Mark on his back suddenly activated, and his heart, replaced by the Star Sky Stone, began to beat in a highly irregular manner.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Through the Dragon Clan Leader’s Mark and the Star Sky Stone, Ye Chenfeng sensed something amiss within the Eternal Water.

He felt there was a faint consciousness within the Eternal Water, one nearly imperceptible. If cultivators drank this Eternal Water, surely this consciousness would flow into their bodies.

Even if one does not consume it, using it to heal wounds would allow this consciousness to enter a cultivator’s body through the wounds.

Once this consciousness enters the body, it is likely to take root, and generally, it would be undetectable by ordinary cultivators, perhaps even by peak Divine Emperor-level experts.

Ye Chenfeng discovered this anomaly only because of the Dragon Clan Leader’s Mark and the Star Sky Stone.

He asked Shen Xiutian to let him sense the water he obtained. Upon sensing the same presence in Shen Xiutian’s Eternal Water,

Ye Chenfeng confirmed that all the Eternal Water in the Eternal River Domain contained this consciousness, and it presumably originated from the same person.

This faint consciousness seems very weak, but once inside a cultivator’s body, it is undoubtedly an explosive waiting to detonate.

Why does the Eternal Water contain consciousness? Whose consciousness is it?

Ye Chenfeng transmitted to Shen Xiutian: "With the opening of the Eternal River Domain, the people from the Upper World will probably come here too, right?"

Shen Xiutian replied, "Benefactor, you may not know, but during the initial openings of the Eternal River Domain, large numbers of powerhouses from the Upper World came here, even the Hes."

"However, for reasons unknown, the Upper World gradually lost interest in the Eternal River Domain, and now only a small fraction of Upper World’s cultivators come when it opens."

Ye Chenfeng nodded silently; it seems the people from the Upper World are likely aware of an issue with the Eternal River Domain.

Could it be that the consciousness within the Eternal Water comes from the Eternal Emperor?

Is the Eternal River Domain merely a conspiracy?

An inter-era trap?

Could it be that the Eternal Emperor is not truly dead, but merely in slumber?

If this is indeed the case, then when the Eternal Emperor awakens, those who have once consumed the Eternal Water may all become his puppets.

At this thought, Ye Chenfeng grew increasingly alarmed. Shen Xiutian had previously mentioned that among those chosen to enter the Eternal River Domain, very few emerged alive.

Those who did survive experienced a significant boost in their strength, which propelled the people of the Middle Realm to flock to the Eternal River Domain.

Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or trap here,

Ye Chenfeng plans to find out for himself.
