The largest inland river in the entire Yulan continent is undoubtedly the Yulan River. The Yulan River enters from Beihai and its main course passes through the O'Brien Empire, the Yulan Empire, the Luoao Empire, and the Rhein Empire. Some of its tributaries are even densely distributed in various regions of the four empires on the Yulan continent.

  It can be said that Yulan River nurtured nearly half of the human beings on the Yulan continent.

  "What a vast river." Lin Lei sat on the deck of a large flat-bottomed boat, looking at the endless Yu Lan River water surging around him, and was deeply shocked.

  This junk is directly employed by Lin Lei.

  Spending 10,000 gold coins can take you directly to the river mouth closest to Chell County. The river mouth is less than a hundred miles away from Chell County.

  According to Lin Lei, if they continued on the normal route, they would probably encounter countless assassination attempts along the way. It was better to directly hire a lou chuan and head south along the Yulan River... The lou chuan was something that Lin Lei had suddenly thought of hiring, and he didn't think that all the people on it were under Lady Weide's command. After all, Lady Weide's influence did not extend to the surrounding areas of Heishi City.

  "Lei Ge." Zhan Ni walked out of the cabin.

  The wind in the middle of the river was very strong, blowing against Jennie's long skirt and hair. Jennie smiled at Lin Lei, walked to Lin Lei's side and sat on the deck: "Lei big brother, I said back then that it would cost 10,000 gold coins to invite you." Jennie felt a bit embarrassed saying this.

  In Zanni and Keen's view, 10,000 gold coins was already a huge sum of money.

  But who would have thought that Lin Lei actually rented such a large houseboat, and the rent for this kind of large houseboat is extremely expensive. For the distance from Blackstone City to Chel City, it actually costs 10,000 gold coins. This is still a very low discounted price given by the other party after seeing the black leopard beside Lin Lei, in order to show respect for Lin Lei as a strong person.

  Lin Lei's commission is 'ten thousand gold coins', now he can only get one gold coin.

  But now they've already paid 10,000 gold coins. No wonder Jennie is a bit embarrassed. Jennie and her brother wanted to pay the bill, but unfortunately, they don't have any money right now.

  "Zhan Ni, don't you think the scenery here is great?" Lin Lei stood up and walked to the top of the deck, where there were iron chains locked at the edge.

  Lin Lei stroked the iron chain and looked around.

  The turbulent Yulan River water, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, with wide areas spanning several kilometers and narrow areas also reaching hundreds of meters. The "mother river" of the entire Yulan continent, who knows how many people it has nurtured? The Yulan continent's traceable history already spans tens of millions of years.

  "This Yulan River has existed for at least several hundred thousand years."

  Looking at the rolling Jade Orchid River, Lin Lei couldn't help but think of the scene tens of millions of years ago. As he admired the vast Jade Orchid River, Lin Lei's heart also broadened a lot.

  "Tens of thousands of years, people or countries have long since disappeared into nothingness. Compared to the rise and fall of history and nations, personal grudges seem so insignificant."

  Facing the vast river water, Lin Lei had a special feeling.

  "Nowadays, the Yulan continent stands with six mighty entities: the Four Great Empires, the Holy See of Light, and the Dark Holy See." Lin Lei's heart was calm and waveless.

  Since childhood, Lin Lei's goal was to fulfill his father's wish and also reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

  After his father's death, Lin Lei's entire soul fell into darkness, a road of revenge, a road of slaughter... On this road, Lin Lei also lost Grandpa De Lin.

  Three years of ascetic practice in the Monster Mountain Range had naturally cleansed his mind, and Lin Lei's heart was as still as water, completely transforming into a butterfly.

  "Only by reaching the pinnacle of cultivation can one achieve their goal. The radiant church, this behemoth, would not choose to retreat when faced with the demonic beast 'Emperor Lin' from the Magic Beast Mountain Range?"

  Lin Lei had full confidence in his heart.

  "One day I will also reach that peak." Lin Lei gazed at the surging river water, his ambition burning fiercely.

  The helmsman of the houseboat was very relaxed, and although the water flow in the Yulan River was turbulent, it was much safer than the ocean. He even chatted with the sailors on the side with a sense of comfort.

  "Hey, have you seen that black leopard?" the captain said with a smile. "That's a magical beast, watch and see, my son will tame one soon too."

  "Captain, that's a leopard-type demon beast. Can your son handle it?" The sailor next to him burst out laughing. In fact, the captain and the sailors were not much different in status, all just a group of men making a living on the water.

  The captain sighed, "High-level demon beasts, I really admire those strong people. Remember last year, when I went to the Imperial City, I saw the Wu Shen Men recruiting disciples, wow, you don't know, how many strong people there were. Riding giant demon beasts or driving flying demon beasts... one by one, the strong people rushed over, competing for that single spot. Those battles, the masters moved so fast, I only saw a flash of illusions. Too fast, too fast."

  The sailors also started bragging one by one about the masters they had seen.

  In the O'Brien Empire, almost every child has wanted to become a strong person since childhood, and entering the Martial God Temple has become the biggest goal.

  Lin Lei sat cross-legged on the deck, letting the strong wind blow through, with the black heavy sword placed on his legs. Lin Lei closed his eyes and quietly felt the surging of the Yulan River.

  "The momentum is the momentum of the vast sky, it is the momentum of the great earth, it is the momentum of the endless rivers and seas." Lin Lei's soul completely merged into the wind, even sensing the vast riverbed at the bottom of the Yulan River, sensing the endless land around the Yulan River.

  Nature can also sense the rapid river flow.

  The ship sailed smoothly downstream and stopped at a port along the way, where everyone went ashore to eat. But Lin Lei sat cross-legged on the deck, not eating a single meal.

  Before I knew it, six days had passed.

  "Sister, Brother Lei won't eat or drink, is he okay?" Keen asked Janni worriedly, pointing at Lin Lei who was sitting cross-legged on the deck.

  Zhan Ni also had some worries in her heart, she shook her head helplessly and said: "I don't know either, it's just that Bei Bei doesn't let us get close."

  "Don't worry." The captain of the Loucang ship walked over, smiling and saying, "Those top-notch strongmen are not ordinary people like us. In front of them, even a cliff of ten thousand meters can't block their path, let alone an army of one million trying to intercept them. I've heard that some strongmen don't eat or drink for months while meditating. At their level, it's normal to go without food and water for months." The captain of the Loucang ship said "normal" with his mouth, but there was still a hint of envy in his eyes.

  Zanni and Gene were even more astonished when they heard what the captain said.

  "Is it really like this?"

  Suddenly a muttering voice sounded, and Zanni, Keen, and the captain of the Lou ship all turned their heads to look, and they were all startled.

  Lin Lei held a heavy black sword and suddenly jumped directly from the building boat into the river water.

  "Lei Ge!" Jennie exclaimed.

  The three of them immediately ran to the foredeck, and when they reached the chain, they were shocked to see Lin Lei standing on the water's surface with a heavy black sword in hand, undulating with the waves of the Yulan River without sinking at all.

  This scene really left them speechless.

  Flying in mid-air, that's something that can only be achieved at the Sacred Realm level.

  "Earth, fire, water, wind..." Lin Lei muttered in a low voice, and at the same time, the heavy sword in his hand suddenly stabbed upwards into the air, and with the black heavy sword stabbing upwards, it seemed to pierce through the sky like a hole, emitting a terrifying whistling sound.

  At the same time, the river water around Lin Lei's body suddenly shot up into the air.

  "Haha." Only the sound of Lin Lei's loud laughter could be heard, and then Lin Lei's figure began to move back and forth on the surface of the Yulan River, while the river water also rose and fell with Lin Lei's movements, roaring continuously.

  The waters within a hundred meters of Lin Lei seemed to have gone mad.

  Sometimes the river water rushes up to tens of meters, sometimes it forms a huge whirlpool, sometimes the water flows like sharp arrows flying in all directions, and sometimes the water flows around Lin Lei swirling... "Clang." Only the clear sound of a heavy sword entering its scabbard was heard.

  The originally turbulent waters suddenly calmed down, and in the blink of an eye, the Yulan River returned to its original calmness, with only a slight undulation. Lin Lei stepped on the undulating river water, but didn't sink at all.

  This time, Lin Lei didn't use wind magic to counteract the gravity of Hei Yu's heavy sword.

  But by grasping and utilizing "shi".

  "This 'momentum' is the momentum of heaven and earth, as well as the momentum of earth, fire, water, and wind." Lin Lei's face revealed a hint of a smile, his foot tapped, and he directly leaped onto the deck of the Lou Boat.

  For the comprehension of momentum, Lin Lei has always started from the aspects of earth and wind. However, these six days of quiet meditation have made Lin Lei realize the fluctuations of water, and he also recalled his cultivation of fire magic, that passionate fire element.

  Heavy, flowing, flexible, passionate.

  When the four elements come together, one sword can stir up heaven and earth. This is the true "momentum". The "momentum" that Lin Lei had realized in the past was only at the entrance.

  "Lei Ge, where were you just now? You were just...?" Keen was somewhat excited, but didn't know what to say.

  Zhan Ni also looked at Lin Lei with reverence.

  Lin Lei's recent actions really left them stunned, even the captain of the long-distance running Loucang hadn't seen such an astonishing scene.

  "That's just cultivation." Lin Lei said calmly with a smile.

  Although the book of family records said that the highest level of refining heavy weapons was the third heavy 'Momentum', Lin Lei had a feeling.

  This is not the end of this level.

  In addition, there is also.

  After reaching the level of 'momentum', especially after one's soul has merged with nature, there is always a feeling... that there are even higher realms beyond. Lin Lei had that vague feeling, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

  "Chi and strength are just the foundation, but how much combat power is unleashed depends on this realm." Lin Lei had this realization in his heart at this moment.

  For example, you have a million jin of strength, but when you attack, you are too clumsy and can only exert one tenth of your actual strength.

  After arduous practice, you may be able to bring out thirty percent of your potential.

  Master, can play up to 70%.

  Lin Lei's task was to exert himself to the fullest, and even borrow the momentum of heaven and earth to unleash an attack that surpassed his own strength.

  "Jenny, Keen, how much farther to the riverbank?" Lin Lei asked.

  "There's still one more day." The captain of the nearby building ship replied.

  Lin Lei nodded and ordered directly: "This way, we don't need to dock at the riverbank closest to Chel City. We'll just dock at a river mouth above Chel City."

  "Yes, Lord Lei." The ship's captain replied, though he didn't understand the reason.

  Lin Lei walked along the river, which immediately disrupted Lady Wade's men and horses. The red-haired man 'Kode' finally found out that Lin Lei and his group had hired a building boat to advance through Yulan River.

  That's how formidable Holm Pharmacist is, but he can't cross the hundreds of meters or even wider river and directly board someone else's boat. If he boards someone else's boat, the other party will likely suspect Holm Pharmacist as well.

  So they can only guard the riverbank and wait for the rabbits to come to them.

  But... according to estimates, this floating building should have arrived at the riverbank by now.

  "What's going on? He should have arrived yesterday, shouldn't he?" Holm the Apothecary sat in a residence by the riverbank in a small town.

  "Holmes Master, wait a bit longer." The hands of Mrs. Wad were also very anxious.

  The large gate of the residence was suddenly flung open, and one of Lady Wied's subordinates rushed in excitedly, saying indignantly: "Master Holm, that group of people did not stop at this riverbank, but stopped at the previous one. They are now near Red Sand City, which is very close to Chel County, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Chel County tonight."

  "Arriving tonight?" Holm Pharmacist was taken aback.

  "Quickly, let's set off immediately." Holmes gave the order and this group of people hastily rushed back in the direction of Chelmorton village.
