Chapter 5749: Worlds Within A Drop Of Water, Eternity Within A Single Thought
While Sumeru and Bai Jianzhen still had difficulty grasping the situation, the water in Li Qiye’s palm pulled him inside.
“Amitabha. Worlds within a drop of water, eternity with a single thought.” Meru placed his palms together and chanted.
He couldn’t do this despite having spent eras on this celestial river. He had tried to learn its secrets and mysteries, only managing to see the bare surface. At the very least, he could travel freely, unlike other emperors.
However, this meant nothing compared to Li Qiye who immediately figured out more things after visiting the celestial river.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye entered a river where he had absolute dominion over its flow.
“Open!” His thought became reality and it took him to the source of the river despite its vastness.
His river was created from the water of the initial river, granting him full access to its mysteries. This was something beyond the ability of emperors. Perhaps even overlords couldn’t do so.
He found himself at the river's source - still an endless expanse. All directions were the same - movement techniques became futile.
However, it couldn’t stop Li Qiye’s will. He thought about crossing this place and it became smaller and smaller, eventually reaching the size of a water drop.
There seemed to be an infinite cycle of waters and stars within the drop - the reason why imperial-level characters became lost inside forever.
“Pop!” Back at the boat, a drop of water burst, and Li Qiye returned.
As space fluctuated, another celestial river appeared before Meru and Bai Jianzhen. Upon closer inspection, they found that this upper celestial river was identical to the one they were floating on.
“Is that a reflection?” They became startled after the upper river disappeared. It felt like an illusion.
“Perhaps we’re on the reflection right now.” Li Qiye smiled, surprising the two.
They took a deep breath because how could this famous celestial river just be a reflection? Nonetheless, they believed Li Qiye.
“Follow me.” He gently tapped the cloud next to him before shouting: “Open!”
Everything suddenly turned upside down after his command.
“Pop!” The celestial river was next to him, pressing against his nose. Before the two could comprehend what was happening, Li Qiye and the white cloud were submerged into this inverted celestial river.
In the next split second, he was reversed as well, facing them instead.
“!!!” The duo was stunned to see this.
“Splash!” The river before them disappeared like a broken visual phenomenon.
However, their boat fell from the sky and landed on the water once more, causing a loud splash.
“So this is just a reflection.” Meru calmed down and said. They were riding on the reflection while Li Qiye had just entered the real thing.
