Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 807

Darren fixed his eyes forward. "Let's give it a shot and you will know."

He walked towards the clear river.

One, two...

Darren had already walked many steps but his feet were still dry. It was as if he was walking in place.

"It's not easy to cross the river," said Fris, the village head.

"I've got it!" Finley suddenly became enlightened. "The river appears close to us but there are actually layers of space in between us. It's an illusion!"

Fris shook his head at Finley's statement.

"According to your understanding of Spatial Rule, it should only take a little time to reach the other shore. Do you really think it's that simple?

This river before us was the place for a powerful cultivator from a foreign land to have an 'Epiphany.' It depends on your state of mind if you want to cross it. Even so, I'm not exactly sure what that would achieve," Fris explained.

Darren crossed his arms, deep in thought. He faced the village head.

"What do you mean by 'Epiphany'?" Darren asked.

"A foreign man arrived here just before the Last Age disappeared. I remember that he was bald and he was dressed in a coarse, yellow robe. He cultivated the skills related to the state of mind, which I have never seen before. I don't even understand the 'Epiphany' he was talking about.

He glowed with a golden light once he had the 'Epiphany'. In those moments, he was very calm and composed, but it also seemed like he could destroy the world if he wanted to.

It took a few days for him to speak again, and when he did, he said that he had to go off and fight a fiend. He never came back."

Darren and Finley listened to him intently.

"I didn't expect the origin of the Equinox Tree leaves to be so complicated. How did the senior of the Mythological Palace even come up with this prescription?" Darren asked. The old man had never been out of the Mythological Palace. He was not supposed to know these things. However, not only did he finish the prescription, he also knew that they were in the Raksa Sea.

"I think we'd better ask him when we get back," Darren said before anyone could answer him.

"If we want to cross the river, we will need to use our minds to navigate it," Finley piped up.

"That's right. I believe that crossing this river will not only give you the leaves that you need, but it will also take you to a mysterious path of becoming stronger.

All these years, I've sent seven people with the talent of Genuine Domain Degree here because I wanted them to try if they could get the cultivation method. Unfortunately, they all failed. No one has ever crossed the river.

The man from the foreign land said that only nine people would ever be allowed to attempt this. You two have the last chance.

If you fail, the river will disappear forever." Fris shook his head grimly.

"Don't worry. One of us will be able to make it, for sure!" Finley laughed jovially.

"I hope so. Ha!

You have three days to accomplish this. If you fail, you have to leave. Now, I must go." Fris disappeared after saying these words.

Darren and Finley spent the next few hours trying to figure out what to do. They tried everything they could but nothing happened.

"Cultivating state of mind. What kind of approach can we take?" Darren murmured.

"The river seems close by but is actually very far away. And it's not caused by the Spatial Rule. I guess if we want to cross the river, we need to calm down. As long as we're calm, we will be able to walk to the river," Finley said thoughtfully.

"What makes you think so?" Darren asked.

"The village head said that the man cultivated the skills related to the state of mind. If he cultivated his mind and followed his heart, how could he be caught up with complicated thoughts? Just like when we tried comprehending the rules, we must cultivate in meditation and launch all our soul energy into it." It made sense to the both of them.

"Alright. Let's try."

Darren nodded and sat down by the river, crossing his legs.
