Time leaves no trace; in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
In the depths of winter, the cold was bone-chilling.
Yibai, accompanied by the Thirteen Demons, was cultivating and digesting demonic power while traveling by water. Finally, he crossed mountains and ridges, arriving at Sanjiang Prefecture.
After learning that the rankings of the Twelve Earthly Branches were but empty titles, he no longer cared about his position among them.
To Yibai, whether a title was prestigious or not was of no consequence.
In Sanjiang Prefecture, at the bottom of a river known as 'Longjin River.'
Yibai, leading the Demons in their journey, had not revealed his true form and was walking in human shape. While digesting demonic power, he realized his affinity with water had drastically improved since his transformation into a dragon.
He could effortlessly turn the waters of great rivers into his minions, to be used at his will.
Hence, he glided through water with ease and grace.
