The small flying spiritual instrument wasn't large, about the size of a room, and could accommodate three people inside.
A Daoist art was cast onto the small flying spiritual instrument, and like the lid of a rice cooker, it automatically opened. Guo Feilong flew inside, and the lid closed automatically.
His divine sense and mystic power controlled the formation disk of the flying instrument, activating various formations inside.
Buzz!
The small flying spiritual instrument ascended at an angle, its speed increasing rapidly, reaching a considerable velocity within an hour.
The Endless River was home to many aquatic spiritual beasts, with powerful ones comparable to the Golden Elixir stage and False Nascent Soul stage.
If it were only Golden Elixir and False Nascent Soul stage water-attributed spiritual beasts, it wouldn't necessitate the Arctic and Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world to rely on ships for navigation, nor would it deter cultivators from hunting aquatic spiritual beasts in the Endless River.
Because within this river between the two continents, there were four aquatic spiritual beasts comparable to the Divine Transformation stage, along with many comparable to the Elemental Infant stage.
Once, a Divine Transformation stage cultivator from the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world entered the Endless River to increase the chances of one of his descendants reaching the Divine Transformation stage by killing twelve Elemental Infant stage aquatic spiritual beasts.
As a result, he provoked an aquatic spiritual beast in the Endless River, comparable to the late Divine Transformation stage at full completion.
This aquatic spiritual beast, whose body was as hard as a top-grade divine treasure, was incredibly powerful.
It not only killed the Divine Transformation stage cultivator but also annihilated his entire family.
Any Divine Transformation-level cultivation family would have long-standing marital ties with other Divine Transformation-level forces, with interconnected bloodlines.
The three other Divine Transformation-level cultivation families with close blood ties to this force joined forces to slay the aquatic spiritual beast comparable to the late Divine Transformation stage.
A total of five Divine Transformation stage cultivators barely gained the upper hand.
The aquatic spiritual beast, with a body as hard as a top-grade divine treasure, was nearly invincible, and they couldn't break its defense.
Divine Transformation stage cultivators, having lived for thousands of years, all had friends of the same cultivation stage. The five Divine Transformation stage ancestors from the three families called upon over ten Divine Transformation-level allies.
With so many Divine Transformation-level cultivators joining forces, even the aquatic spiritual beast with a body as hard as a top-grade divine treasure couldn't withstand it. It also called for reinforcements, and three more aquatic spiritual beasts comparable to the Divine Transformation stage emerged from the Endless River.
The greatest characteristic of spiritual beasts is their incredibly strong physical forms, all comparable to divine treasures. The battle between both sides in the Arctic Continent's cultivation world was earth-shattering, destroying many mountains and creating numerous lakes, with countless ordinary people perishing in the crossfire.
In the end, it was the hall master of the Human Cultivation Alliance's branch who intervened.
He captured the four Divine Transformation stage aquatic spiritual beasts.
After a slight reprimand, he released the four aquatic spiritual beasts back into the Endless River.

Guo Feilong learned all this from Wu Yumeng. The reason the hall master of the Human Cultivation Alliance's branch released those four aquatic spiritual beasts was because there was a holy land for aquatic spiritual beasts upstream of the Endless River, home to supreme-level spiritual beasts comparable to the human Tribulation Crossing stage.
The strength of aquatic spiritual beasts in the cultivation world was not inferior to the Human Cultivation Alliance, and even surpassed it by two or three degrees.
However, most aquatic spiritual beasts resided deep in the ocean and rarely ventured onto land.
Humans and aquatic spiritual beasts in the ocean maintained a "you mind your own business, and I'll mind mine" relationship, with no major conflicts.
The four aquatic spiritual beasts comparable to the Divine Transformation stage in the Endless River were members of a holy land upstream.
If the hall master of the Human Cultivation Alliance's branch had bullied the weak and killed these four aquatic spiritual beasts, it wouldn't necessarily have sparked a war between the Human Cultivation Alliance and aquatic spiritual beasts.
But it would have certainly brought unimaginable disaster to the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world.
Thus, there was an agreement prohibiting human cultivators from hunting aquatic spiritual beasts in the Endless River.
Moreover, the Endless River belonged to the territory of aquatic spiritual beasts.
If human cultivators entered the water or sky of the Endless River, the aquatic spiritual beasts had the right to attack them.
Similarly, if high-level aquatic spiritual beasts from the Endless River caused trouble on the Arctic and Northern Borders Continents, cultivators from the two continents could kill them.
The higher the level of the spiritual beast, the higher its intelligence. Agreements were made with cultivation forces near the Endless River in the Arctic and Northern Borders Continents.
Every year, spirit stones and elixirs were given to the spiritual beasts in the Endless River.
In return, they allowed ships to ferry people between the two cultivation continents.
If one flew over the Endless River without using a ship, the high-level aquatic spiritual beasts in the river would not be polite and would attack those flying across the river.
Guo Feilong didn't want to provoke the high-level spiritual beasts in the Endless River, so his flying instrument ascended higher and higher, eventually reaching about 100,000 meters in altitude before flying parallel towards the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world.
However, despite his intention to avoid conflict with the high-level aquatic spiritual beasts in the Endless River, fate had other plans. As his flying instrument reached the middle of the Endless River, a water-attributed spiritual beast comparable to a late Golden Elixir stage human, bored and seeking entertainment, flew out from the river surface, intending to play in the sky and summon rain.
Not only humans have divine sense; spiritual beasts, demons, and fairies also possess it.
The divine sense of a late Golden Elixir stage could cover an area of about 350 miles.
A water-attributed spiritual beast, resembling a crocodile by seven or eight parts, comparable to the late Golden Elixir stage, noticed the flying instrument. What was this thing? It had never seen it before and assumed it was being ignored, intruding into its territory.
Boom!
The crocodile-like water-attributed spiritual beast of the late Golden Elixir stage opened its mouth wide, releasing a lightning bolt as thick as a barrel towards the small flying instrument.
The speed of the lightning was unparalleled, striking the metal underside of the flying instrument in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Guo Feilong's humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure flew out from the Baihui Acupoint on his head, with its two small metal hands pressed against the flying instrument.
His humanoid metal lifebound sacred treasure had the ability to absorb lightning, and in an instant, it absorbed the lightning that struck the flying instrument.
"I didn't provoke you, yet you come to provoke me. You're asking for death!"
Guo Feilong, with part of his divine soul controlling the lifebound sacred treasure, flew out from the flying instrument, charging towards the late Golden Elixir stage aquatic spiritual beast below.
Buzz!
The humanoid lifebound sacred treasure unleashed a force of tribulation lightning from its palms.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the power of the tribulation lightning struck the late Golden Elixir stage aquatic spiritual beast.
It had strong resistance to lightning, but the power of tribulation lightning was the strongest in the world.
The late Golden Elixir stage aquatic spiritual beast was instantly paralyzed, losing consciousness for a brief moment.
Guo Feilong seized this fleeting opportunity, controlling his lifebound sacred treasure to dive into the creature's nostril, then into its throat.
He then entered its abdomen, beginning to destroy the internal organs of the late Golden Elixir stage aquatic spiritual beast, finally reaching its brain, taking its Golden Elixir, and extinguishing its divine soul.
Just like that, he easily exterminated a late Golden Elixir stage aquatic spiritual beast.
The entire body of a spiritual beast was a treasure. Guo Feilong stored the corpse of the late Golden Elixir stage aquatic spiritual beast in his storage bag and continued flying towards the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world.
For the rest of the journey, he encountered no further attacks from aquatic spiritual beasts.
An hour later, Guo Feilong arrived at the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world.
He crossed the 30,000-mile-wide Endless River in just over two hours, much faster than taking a ship.
There were many high-level cultivators in the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world, and occasionally, he could see Elemental Infant stage cultivators traveling. Guo Feilong didn't want those Elemental Infant stage cultivators to discover the existence of his flying instrument.
He put away the flying instrument and patted his spiritual beast bag.
A flying spiritual beast at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage appeared before him.
It wasn't his first time in the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world. Based on his memory, Guo Feilong sat on the back of the flying spiritual beast and headed towards the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
Half a month later, Guo Feilong finally arrived in front of the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
Damn it, the area around this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world was controlled by those Elemental Infant-level forces.
Entering was no problem.
But anyone coming out had to open their storage bags and be extorted before being allowed to leave.
"It seems I'll have to kill a Golden Elixir stage cultivator on the way out," Guo Feilong sighed slightly in his heart and charged into the mist outside the Heavenly Abode small world.
