"I’ve indeed never been to this stretch of water."
Su Mu replied.
This section of water had mostly dried up, and the exposed riverbed was solid, covered with various sizes of stones.
As they walked on, a ten-ter-high stone dam appeared before them, blocking their path.
Elder Ling leapt into the air, jumping onto the stone dam, and Su Mu followed closely behind.
At this mont, Elder Ling pointed to a deep pit in front of them and said, "This is the place I ntioned."
Hearing this, Su Mu followed the direction of Elder Ling’s finger and looked at the pit.
This deep pit had a radius of about twenty ters, resembling an abyss.
Su Mu extended his Divine Sense, wanting to see how deep this pit truly was.
Yet, he suddenly discovered that this pit extended far away, beyond the Long River.
Due to system limitations, Su Mu’s Divine Sense couldn’t cover beyond the Long River, so he didn’t know how deep the pit truly was or where it extended to.
"What is this?" Su Mu asked Elder Ling with confusion.
....
"Doesn’t Fellow Daoist Su know?" Faced with Su Mu’s question, Elder Ling was also taken aback, appearing very surprised.
Su Mu shook his head and said, "If I’m not mistaken, this pit extends very deep."
"Do you know where it leads to?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Ling chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist holds in too high esteem. If you can’t see it, how could I?"
"However, it truly is a good place for flood discharge."
After speaking, Elder Ling nodded in agreent, but then furrowed his brow and said, "But there’s a problem; to discharge the flood, this stone dam must be dismantled."
"I can’t provide any suggestions on this matter. I hope Fellow Daoist will make the decision."
He certainly didn’t doubt Su Mu’s ability to dismantle the stone dam; he was sure Su Mu had the capability.
What he worried about was once the "wall" was broken, what consequences it might bring, which he couldn’t predict, nor could he bear the resulting causality.
Therefore, he couldn’t intervene, leaving the final decision to Su Mu, the River Guardian.
.....
Upon hearing this, Su Mu lowered his head to examine the stone dam.
The scale of the dam was quite substantial. If he actively destroyed it, it would violate the principles of river guarding. So, if it was avoidable, he would definitely not destroy it.
After pondering for a mont, Su Mu made a decision.
"Brother Ling, step back a bit."
Hearing these words, Elder Ling’s heart skipped a beat. Was he really going to break the "wall"?
"Fellow Daoist Su, I know another good place, but it’s not as good as this one and will take so ti." Elder Ling interjected.
"How long?"
"Three months at the fastest, half a year at the slowest."
"Too slow, too troubleso. Step back quickly."
In the next second,
Su Mu turned to face the flood behind him. With a wave of his hand, the flood began to lift off the ground, floating up.
As his hand fell, the flood surged over the ten-ter-high dam, towards the deep pit on the other side.
Upon witnessing this, Elder Ling was dumbfounded.
He didn’t expect Su Mu to use such a domineering and unbelievable thod to discharge the flood.
One must know, this was a Ti Flood, each drop representing a world, and he was lifting so many worlds over such a high dam. This feat broke through what he could comprehend.
Fellow Daoist Su’s command over the River of Ti had reached such a level?
What were his limits?
....
Su Mu simultaneously employed the Divine Techniques of "Stripping" and "Acceleration" on the flood, while maintaining the original Solidification of the riverbed.
This was also a significant challenge for Su Mu.
However, with his current power having reached beyond the Immortal Emperor’s level, this degree of exertion was still manageable.
Thus, the excess flood water surged madly into the deep pit.
This continued for half a day.
The pit seed like a bottomless abyss, never filling up, and there was no sense of a bottom being reached.
.....
Nearby, Elder Ling watched the scene before him, filled with shock, yet also a sense of lant and sadness.
This flood was not surplus...
This flood was forcibly drawn from other water bodies, all converging onto the main river channel, forming the flood.
In other words, the person who initiated this Ti Flood laid out countless worlds for Su Mu, Fellow Daoist.
These worlds had already detached from their original ti and space, becoming isolated entities, with their world rules completely shattered and irreparable, like shattered seeds, separated from the soil they once thrived in.
Moreover, even if restored, it would be aningless, as all living creatures in these flooded worlds had perished.
In the floodwaters thrown into the pit were nurous fish corpses, most of them incomplete, reduced to particles of flesh and blood in the powerful destructive impact, rging into the river water.
But so larger, stronger fish barely managed to leave a corpse, yet ultimately, they were just fish in water, adrift with the current.
This was truly sorrowful; cultivators spent their lives seeking the path of Cultivation, pursuing the Extre Dao, realizing their ideals. What wrong did these Great Cultivators do?
What fault did they have?
Yet, weakness itself was an error.
They would always beco a sword in the hands of great figures, a pawn, discarded if they failed, and even if they succeeded, a used-up pawn.
Thus, once targeted by significant figures, regardless of the outco, they would not escape death.
.....
From Elder Ling’s perspective, Su Mu did no wrong by banishing these broken worlds.
For these worlds had already lost aning, not rely broken, but devoid of significance for existence.
If allowed to exist, these worlds would disturb the original order of the River of Ti, wrecking the peace of other worlds.
Thus, Fellow Daoist Su’s actions were correct, righteous.
If it were him, he feared he wouldn’t act as decisively.
Because it required bearing imnse karma, accepting significant consequences, and most importantly, having a steadfast mindset, as it involved banishing countless worlds, countless lives.....
Yet at this mont, on Su Mu’s face, he saw no trace of emotion, indicating that his mindset had already reached a profound height.
...
The flood had been discharging for two days, finally nearing completion.
On this day, Su Mu noticed a fish desperately swimming back against the stream flowing into the pit.
Both Su Mu and not far away, Elder Ling were stunned upon seeing this.
