Long River Eternity

Under the guidance of the white ape, Lin Ding and his party finally arrived at a mountain range covered with snow.

The cold wind howled all around and the temperature dropped sharply, already plummeting to dozens of degrees below zero. Everyone had no choice but to circulate their energy to resist the biting cold.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, could there really be monsters living in such a harsh environment?

The white ape raised his hand and pointed at the mountains ahead, saying, "There's a cave in the mountains ahead. Below that is the Demon Alliance's headquarters. Go there on your own."

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the white ape and could vaguely see that there was indeed a huge pit between several mountains. Its size was more than twice that of the pit on the flat-topped mountain.

"Your base camp, with such a large entrance, is set up so blatantly in the valley?" Wei Wu asked in surprise.

"There are few people in the entire Hanzhou, and even monsters are few and far between. It doesn't matter where the entrance is located." The white ape shrugged, looking nonchalant.

"Are there any guards or mechanisms at the entrance?" Zhan Wushen asked in a low voice.

"There are no guards at the entrance, but after falling into the bottom of the pit, there will be monsters patrolling there from time to time." The white ape replied.

"Don't come over yet, keep an eye on the white ape, I'll go and investigate." Lin Ding said to everyone.

After saying that, everyone landed in the mountains below, while Lin Ding flew towards the entrance of the Demon Alliance.

Soon, Lin Ding landed on a mountain next to the pit.

Looking around, the entire pit was like a bottomless abyss. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen clearly. It seemed as if it was waiting to swallow everything up.

Lin Ding didn't dare to use his domain to investigate the situation in the pit, fearing that the slightest movement would alert the higher-level monsters in the Demon Alliance.

He pondered for a moment, looking at the snow flying all over the sky. An idea flashed in his mind, and then he turned into a snowflake, floating towards the pit with the wind and snow.

Not long after, Lin Ding passed through the entrance, fell nearly a hundred meters, and finally landed at the bottom of the pit.

The area at the bottom of the pit is quite large. With the faint light from the cave entrance, one can vaguely see that there are passages around the bottom of the pit that lead to nowhere.

These passages vary in size, some are tens of meters high, some are only two or three meters high, some are as dark as night, and some reveal a faint light.

Lin Ding fluttered up and down like a real snowflake, and chose the widest passage to fly in.

Lin Ding walked slowly towards the depths of the passage, sticking to the ground. He could feel that the passage had a certain slope and was extending downwards continuously.

After flying for about dozens of meters and turning a corner, torches had been lit on both sides of the passage ahead, illuminating the entire passage and raising the temperature inside the passage a lot.

So, Lin Ding changed his form, from a snowflake into a puddle of water, ready to move forward.

However, at this moment, footsteps were faintly heard at the corner in front of the passage. Lin Ding hurriedly moved to a dark corner and waited for the footsteps to approach.

As the footsteps drew closer, the conversation of the newcomers could be heard first. One of the younger voices complained, "I've been trapped in this icy world since I was born and have never been out. I really want to see what the world outside is like. I heard you've been out before. Is it fun out there?"

Another voice, slightly older, spoke with a hint of regret, "I went out to search for the Saint, so I didn't stay long. But the outside world is indeed much better than here, where we're covered in snow year-round. It's warm and beautiful. But it's the human world out there, and they're not friendly to us. They'll kill us when they see us. It's very dangerous."

"Yesterday I heard that the young master had brought the saint back, and I also heard that our leader had made some kind of agreement with the human leader. It seems that the time is almost up. Does it mean that we can leave here?" The young voice was full of anticipation.

As the two talked, their figures slowly passed the corner and appeared in front of Lin Ding. They were two three-headed dogs, one big and one small. Judging from their size, one was in the Tianquan realm and the other was in the Yuheng realm.

The big dog chuckled and teased, "You don't practice well all day, but you know a lot of gossip. You know a lot."

"Every day, apart from practicing, I just patrol, which is really boring. So I like to find out some interesting things. Haha." The puppy said with a smile.

The big dog raised its paw and gently patted one of the little dogs on the head, then scolded them with a smile, "If you don't practice well, you will be beaten to death by humans if you go out. And you still want to go out?

Besides, we’ve found so many saints in the past, but none of them were real saints. Who knows if this one will be the same? As for the hundred-year agreement, it’s almost up, and there’s still time left…”

The two three-headed dogs chatted and slowly disappeared around the corner where Lin Ding came from. Lin Ding didn't hear the last sentence clearly, but he had no time to care about the hundred-year agreement at the moment. Finding Liu Xianxian was the most important thing at the moment.

Lin Ding moved forward quickly along the wall. After turning several corners, he finally saw light coming into the passage in front of him. He thought it should be the exit of the passage.

Lin Ding approached the exit slowly and carefully as if walking on thin ice. He was extremely cautious with every meter he moved. His heart was in his throat, fearing that he would encounter a high-level monster as soon as he came out of the passage.

After struggling forward for nearly a hundred meters, Lin Ding finally saw the scene outside the passage clearly. However, the scene that came into his eyes caused a storm in Lin Ding's heart.

Beyond the exit lay a vast city! The entire ground was meticulously paved with ice bricks, and buildings of varying sizes stood on both sides of the road, all of them reminiscent of ancient times.

The road was extremely wide, and monsters of all shapes and sizes were walking across it. Most of them had human forms with animal heads, and they had obviously practiced spiritual energy techniques.

The architectural style of this city is exactly the same as that of Tianshui City in the ancient Beiming.

What shocked Lin Ding the most was the magnificent palace standing at the end of the road. It turned out to be Gonggong’s Palace of the God of Water!

Although it was slightly dilapidated, Lin Ding was able to recognize it at a glance. However, this time, the Water God Palace was no longer suspended in the air, but was firmly located on the ground.

Lin Ding never expected that he would be able to see the Water God Palace again in reality.

Could it be that all those buildings still exist? This made Lin Ding think of the Feng family on Kunlun Mountain that Yang Nian mentioned. Could it be that the Qiankun Palace is still there?

At this moment, countless thoughts and questions surged in his mind. He suddenly felt deeply that there were countless secrets hidden under the Kyushu today, and he had just uncovered the tip of the iceberg.

Lin Ding forced himself to calm down, gazing at the bustling imitation of Tianshui City before him, then shifting his gaze to the Water God Palace in the distance. He thought, if Liu Xianxian was here, she must be imprisoned in the Water God Palace.

But if I can transform and sneak in, how can others get in?

He did not act rashly, but turned around decisively and returned along the same route, intending to have a good discussion with everyone.
