Chapter 668: Twin River

The two Supreme Beings knelt silently, but the more they listened, the more something felt off. Was the ancient Heavenly Court really so well-versed in law? And shouldn't the title be "Sect Master"? Why were they calling her "Senior Sister"?

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were using their true appearances. As noble Half-Immortals, their primary concern was understanding major powers that could potentially threaten them today. Small Nascent Soul stage cultivators naturally wouldn't capture their attention, let alone Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, who had only gained fame in the mere Core Formation stage.

After listening to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's explanations, delivered one after another, Senior Sister confirmed that the battle between the two Supreme Beings was indeed unrelated to her two junior brothers.

"Junior Brother, you just mentioned that these two Supreme Beings intended to steal an ancient artifact. What exactly were they trying to steal?"

"Hehe, Second Boss doesn't know much about this. Let me explain," the Immortal Fairy said, emerging from Lu Yang's body.

The two Supreme Beings stared at the Immortal Fairy with uncertainty and alarm. Neither of them had detected anyone else residing within Lu Yang! This was impossible! Even a Tribulation Transcender living inside Lu Yang wouldn't have escaped their notice! Was this woman a Half-Immortal?

"Do you remember the Fuling sisters these two youngsters mentioned?"

Senior Sister nodded. The sisters' experiences were quite unusual.

"Actually, these two sisters weren't born of their parents in the traditional sense. Their mother conceived them after drinking water from the Twin River."

"What is the Twin River?" Senior Sister had never heard of it.

"This is where my greatness comes in."

"Back in ancient times, I had countless believers. Some sought children, others sought twins. I readily agreed and, using my supreme magical power, created the Mother-Child River and the Twin River."

"Anyone who drank from the Mother-Child River would become pregnant."

"And anyone who drank from the Twin River would conceive twins."

Nightmare Supreme stared, wide-eyed with disbelief and terror, at the Immortal Fairy. His voice trembled, "You... no, are you the Heaven-Responder Immortal?!"

He had come here to find the Twin River, but he never expected the true owner to be right here! The legendary Heaven-Responder Immortal was actually a woman!

Lu Yang was speechless. Needless to say, this was certainly another instance of historical revisionism, attributing the Immortal Fairy's creations to the Heaven-Responder Immortal.

Senior Sister paused upon hearing this, recalling certain things. She looked at the Immortal Fairy with a strange expression, her emotions complex, as if she couldn't quite believe what she had just heard. Her tone was noticeably different from her usual demeanor.

"Are you saying... you created the Mother-Child River, and anyone who drinks from it will become pregnant?"

The Immortal Fairy, being inherently naive, didn't notice Senior Sister's unusual reaction. She nodded sincerely, "Yes, that's right. What's wrong?"

"So, where is the Mother-Child River now?"

The Immortal Fairy shook her head. "I don't know. When the Heaven-Responder Immortal and the others reshaped the continent, the terrain changed, and I'm not sure where the Mother-Child River was moved to."

Senior Sister's expression grew even stranger. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Lu Yang noticed Senior Sister's changing expression. Ever since he joined the sect, Senior Sister had always maintained a detached, emotionless demeanor. Lu Yang had never seen her expression so varied and rich before.

Lu Yang didn't dare to ask what Senior Sister was thinking.

"Although the Mother-Child River can't be found, the Twin River can. I had Second Boss secretly pull two strands of hair from those two young girls. Through their hair, I can trace its origins and find the Twin River."

Lu Yang opened his palm, revealing two strands of hair resting there.

The Immortal Fairy formed an obscure and ancient hand seal, a unique one known only to her, not even to the Four Ancient Immortals.

The moment the hand seal touched the two strands of hair, they transformed into a wisp of faint green smoke, drifting into the distance.

"Let's go! Follow this smoke, and we'll find the Twin River!" the Immortal Fairy exclaimed, waving her hand. She rushed forward, signaling for everyone to follow her.

Everyone followed.

The green smoke drifted for most of the morning. After passing a temple, its speed began to slow.

As Lu Yang passed by, he saw the temple's name: Ancient Forest Temple.

Ancient Forest Temple was situated at the foot of a mountain, with continuous ranges stretching behind it.

The green smoke flew over more than ten mountain peaks before lingering in a maple forest.

"Why has it stopped moving?"

The Immortal Fairy explained, "The Twin River is inside a secret realm. The green smoke can't directly enter, so we need to find the entrance to the realm."

"Based on the smoke's circling pattern, the secret realm should be here."

The Immortal Fairy took two steps forward, pointing to an unremarkable large stone in the maple forest.

The green smoke had been circling in the vicinity, and the center of its rotation was this boulder.

Senior Sister flicked her finger, sending a wisp of spiritual energy into the boulder. The smoother side of the boulder transformed into a black vortex.

"This is it."

Senior Sister didn't hesitate. She directly threw the two Half-Immortals into the vortex, then stepped in herself. The Immortal Fairy, Lu Yang, and Meng Jingzhou followed closely behind.

As they all entered, the black vortex vanished, and the boulder reverted to its original appearance. No one could tell that it was a gateway to the Twin River, an immortal creation.

"Such dense spiritual energy!"

Lu Yang was surprised. He stood on a lawn, where a wide river wound its way, its source unknown. The river surface emitted abundant spiritual energy, nourishing this secret realm. The vegetation along its banks was lush, with ancient trees, shrubs, and green grasses—all spiritual plants that were now extinct.

Furthermore, these spiritual plants grew in pairs, and their medicinal properties were significantly stronger than their original forms due to the Twin River's nourishment.

Twin-lotus flowers, capable of helping cultivators form a first-grade Golden Core, also grew on the river's surface. The Twin-lotus flowers were originally a product of the Twin River, initially named "Sister Flowers" before the Heaven-Responder Immortal renamed them.

The two Supreme Beings felt it even more acutely. They sensed the immense power within the river, the purest essence of the Great Dao. Merely meditating by the river would greatly aid them in solidifying their Dao fruits.

"Yes, this is the Twin River that I created," the Immortal Fairy said cheerfully, pointing at the river. The environment here, identical to how it was in ancient times, filled her with nostalgia.

"I'm surprised it's so well-preserved," the Immortal Fairy remarked, a little surprised. This was almost an entire Twin River; it was hard to imagine it surviving so completely intact during the battle that reshaped the continent.

"Fairy, is that your immortal dwelling?"

Lu Yang pointed to a stone chamber by the river. On it, the ancient characters for "Immortal Dwelling" were inscribed. From its size, it appeared to be only a part of a larger immortal dwelling.

"It really is. But it shouldn't be; I didn't build an immortal dwelling by the Twin River."

The Immortal Fairy murmured to herself, then suddenly realized, "I understand! It must be that girl Qinghe who preserved it for me!"

"It was too chaotic back then, so she couldn't preserve all of it!"

Both the Twin River and the Immortal Dwelling were preserved by Qinghe in a moment of crisis.

"Let's see what's inside."

The door to the immortal dwelling was tightly shut. The Immortal Fairy used her soul as a key to open it.

Inside the immortal dwelling, it was as if time had stood still. It was spotless, as if the owner hadn't gone far. Various books lined the shelves, their covers pristine.

"This is where I used to read."

Lu Yang noticed a conspicuous small booklet on the shelf titled "Immortal Sayings." Curious, he took it down and flipped through it. Profound ancient language met his eyes:

"I was born in response to Heaven's will!Those who defy this Immortal shall be slain!How dare mere mortals defy an Immortal!My body contains immense power; do not force me to unleash my seals!"

The Immortal Fairy had thoughtfully added notes at the back, indicating who spoke each line: Heaven-Responder Immortal, Nine-Heavens Immortal, Qilin Immortal, and Time Immortal. All of them were there.

Lu Yang silently closed the book, returned it to its place, and pretended not to have seen it.
