The next morning, Xu Chuan arrived at a place called Sunset River.
The Sunset River Festival was the most important festival in this city, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, making it incredibly lively!
Young people from the entire Great Desolate Dynasty also flocked to this place on this day, hoping to meet a woman they admired at the river festival.
And the reason this river was called Sunset River was due to a legend.
It was said that the Profound Heaven Continent originally had three suns, which took turns patrolling the Profound Heaven, never interfering with or seeing each other.
However, one day, all three suns appeared simultaneously, plunging the entire Profound Heaven into a sea of fire. The land turned into scorched earth, water sources dried up, and everywhere was a scene of devastation.
The entire human race of the Profound Heaven suffered immensely, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Until one day, an expert of the Emperor Realm appeared, holding a great bow, and with unparalleled might, he drew his bow and shot down two of the three suns.
One landed in the southeast of the Southern Region, forming an eternal volcano. Another landed near the current Great Desolate Dynasty, striking a water vein and forming the Sunset River that nourished countless citizens of the Great Desolate Dynasty!
The remaining sun was the one now hanging high in the sky.
After shooting the suns, the expert vanished without a trace.
To commemorate him, people called him the Sun-Shooting Emperor!
This legend had been passed down throughout the Southern Region, but its truth or falsehood had been lost to the ages.
However, not a few people in the Southern Region believed this legend, as evidenced by the annual river festival.
"It's truly lively!" Xu Chuan walked through the crowd, looking at the pleasure boats on the river and the merchants setting up stalls all around, feeling an immense sense of emotion.
Seeing this scene, he felt as if he had returned to Earth.
The mother river in his hometown also held an annual sacrifice, which was just as lively. When Xu Chuan was young, he most enjoyed wandering around with his parents.
But as he grew older, he returned home less often, and when he did, it was at the wrong time, so he never went again.
Seeing this similar scene now inevitably stirred a sense of longing in his heart.
At the same time, it strengthened Xu Chuan's resolve to return home and see for himself!
Nothing could stop a traveler's longing for home!
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about these matters and continued to wander.
Suddenly, the noisy crowd ahead caught his attention.
He casually pulled over a middle-aged woman and asked, "Auntie, what's happening up ahead that's so lively?"
"What are you doin..."
Startled by being grabbed, the aunt was initially annoyed, but upon turning around and seeing Xu Chuan's impossibly handsome face, her anger instantly vanished.
Who said that middle-aged women couldn't appreciate handsome young men?
Especially one so handsome, who could resist!
Immediately, the aunt's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. "Oh my, young sir, you've asked the right person!"
"What's happening up ahead is the most important event of this river festival, the crossing of the Sunset River!"
"The fittest and most skilled swimmers in the city will swim from this bank to the other, and they are not allowed to use any martial arts throughout the entire process."
"Whoever can retrieve the red cloth on the other side of the river will receive the blessings of the River God and also gain a reward from the capital!"
"So, many people come to participate!"
"Oh, I won't chat anymore, it's about to start, and if I'm late, I won't see the handsome young men!"
After speaking, the aunt quickly left, afraid of missing the young men enter the water.
"Indeed, old age doesn't mean a lack of passion!" Xu Chuan chuckled and shook his head, then walked forward, preparing to watch.
Squeezing through the dense crowd, Xu Chuan saw these so-called handsome young men. Most of them were ordinary mortals, with only a few martial artists of ordinary cultivation.
It seemed that stronger martial artists disdained to participate in such an event.
Among this group, a slender young man caught Xu Chuan's attention.
He seemed out of place among these robust men.
Xu Chuan didn't know why he was here.
However, Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to this. What he did care about was that the moment he saw this young man, his destiny, [A Sense of Foreboding], was abruptly triggered.
This meant that this young man possessed something Xu Chuan needed!
Immediately, Xu Chuan used his system to check his life script information.
[Name: Wei Kang]
[Race: Profound Heaven Human Race]
[Realm: Body Tempering Realm Second Level]
[Talent: Very Common]
[Destiny: Fluctuating Fortune (Purple), Virtue Not Matching Position (White)]
[Life Script: None]
[Life Trajectory: Originally the son of a wealthy merchant, he suddenly encountered misfortune and became poor. His mother fell ill, and he had no money for medicine. To obtain money for treatment, he participated in this crossing, encountered an opportunity, but ultimately died due to his virtue not matching his position.]
[Opportunity: While crossing the Sunset River, he was dragged into the river by a demonic beast, stumbled into the place where the sun fell, and saw the complete origin of the sun and the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow that suppressed the origin.]
[Destiny]
[Fluctuating Fortune: His fortune fluctuates, sometimes far exceeding most people, and at other times encountering sudden misfortune.]
[Virtue Not Matching Position: When his fortune rises, he will encounter great opportunities, but he will be unable to control them, suffering backlash, and even death.]
...
"Huh?"
"Origin of the Sun? Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"
Skipping over the ordinary life script information, Xu Chuan's eyes immediately landed on the two items in the opportunity section.
Xu Chuan was very familiar with the origin of the sun. He had obtained a mass of sun origin from the Taiyin Sect ruins before.
And it was this mass of sun origin that had forged his Solar Saint Body and his immense combat power. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
He never expected to see it here again today, and moreover, it was a complete origin of the sun!
What did this mean?
A small portion had already allowed Xu Chuan to achieve his current accomplishments. What about the complete origin? It would surely elevate him to the heavens!
He had been cultivating the Great Sun Divine Demon Body Refining Scripture for so long. His progress wasn't exactly slow, but it wasn't fast either.
With this complete origin, Xu Chuan was confident he could directly cultivate the Great Sun Divine Demon Saint Body!
Furthermore, by obtaining this origin, his inner world could also be quickly refined and grow!
Xu Chuan's strength would also increase!
As for the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, he never expected it to be suppressing the origin of the sun here, which was truly unexpected!
A divine weapon capable of shooting down the sun was undoubtedly an Emperor Weapon!
Perhaps even an extraordinary Emperor Weapon!
He had to get his hands on such a treasure!
"First the World Tree Seed, and now two great treasures. This Southern Region is truly my blessed land!"
"After this trip, I will definitely secure the position of Holy Son!" Xu Chuan said with confidence.
His current strength was more than enough to become the Holy Son; no one could stop him!
And now, what he needed to do was to obtain these two opportunities!
"Opportunities, here I come!"
Even Xu Chuan couldn't conceal his excitement. His figure flickered and disappeared, then reappeared behind Wei Kang, silently observing his every move.
Such an opportunity was not something Wei Kang deserved.
By taking it away, in a sense, Xu Chuan was saving his life!
