Long River Eternity

At the foot of the Water God Palace, Yang An and his three companions, along with the Black Emperor and his three companions, were standing in front of the waterfall. The group that had previously chased Yang An was now surrounding them from a distance. This group had gradually gathered around them as they had walked all the way from the inn to the Water God Palace, following them all the way here.

But when people saw that the guards of the Water God Palace were traveling with Yang An, they didn't dare to go forward.

People in the crowd were whispering. A man recognized the Black Emperor's identity and said to those around him, "As expected of a Chaos Body and a Heavenly Soul Body, they actually had the Black Emperor personally lead them into the Water God Palace. That's incredible."

"What? You said that the man in black robe is the Black Emperor Xuanwu? I heard before that geniuses who made it to the top of the Pangu List or the Beiming List would be received by Lord Gonggong, but that was just an ordinary steward from the Water God Palace. I have never heard of the Black Emperor coming to receive them." The man's companion said in surprise.

"I can only say that Lord Gonggong believes that the Chaos Body and the Heavenly Soul Body must have unlimited prospects." The man said in a deep voice.

"Are these Chaos Body and Heavenly Soul Body really that powerful?" the man's companion asked in confusion.

"I have heard of the Heavenly Soul Body before, it is indeed quite amazing. It is said that a thousand years ago there was a peerless genius with the Heavenly Soul Body. After he achieved great success in his cultivation, he actually wanted to create reincarnation so that the souls of all the people in the world could be reincarnated and come to the world after death. In the end, because his idea was too against the will of heaven, he was punished by heaven and his life or death is unknown. But I have never heard of this Chaos Body before, but looking at the Chaos Body Yang An, it seems that he is the leader of the four people, and even the Heavenly Soul Body is behind him. It's incredible." The man said thoughtfully.

At this time, the Black Emperor came to Yang An and said, "This waterfall is the entrance to the Water God Palace. Just walk into the waterfall."

After finishing speaking, the Black Emperor extended his hand and motioned Yang An and the others to enter the waterfall.

Yang An walked closer to the waterfall, took a look at it and entered without hesitation. His figure disappeared in the waterfall. Then Shi Gang and the other two entered the waterfall one after another, and finally the three Black Emperors also entered.

After Yang An entered the waterfall, he felt a flash before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the Water God Palace appeared in front of him.

The Water God Palace looks even more majestic when viewed from close up than from a distance. Each ice crystal is larger than a person, and between each ice crystal flows a stream of water as thick as a thigh that never freezes. When you get closer, you will find that there are actually fish swimming in the water.

Just as Yang An was admiring the Water God Palace, the others passed the waterfall one after another and appeared in front of the Water God Palace. Yang Nian and others were once again shocked by the Water God Palace in front of them.

At this time, the Black Emperor had also arrived and said to everyone, "Let's go, Master Gonggong is already waiting for you."

As he spoke, he led everyone towards the gate, followed the Black Emperor into the gate of the Water God Palace, came to a hall, passed through the hall, and passed through another gate. What came into view was a huge pool. In the middle of the pool floated two rows of ice platforms that were large enough to accommodate one person. On four of the ice platforms were four small tables, with a futon in front of the table, and all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were placed on the table.

At this time, the Black Emperor gestured for everyone to go to the seats on the ice platform and said, "Everyone, please."

Yang An and the others did not hesitate and jumped up, each choosing a seat. Yang An and Ye Tingxue sat opposite each other in the first row, Yang Nian sat in the same row with Yang An, and Shi Gang sat in the same row with Ye Tingxue.

Just after everyone stood firm, the water surface at the end of the ice platform began to fluctuate, and a huge throne formed by flowing water rose from the water and then stayed in mid-air.

A shadow gradually formed above the Water Throne, eventually solidifying into a stern-looking middle-aged man with loose red hair, a bare upper body, bulging muscles, and a rather burly physique. He wore a skirt made of animal skin from some unknown creature.

Meanwhile, the Black Emperor flew over from the shore and stood on the water beside Gong Gong. With a wave of his hand, a table of food, the same as the one Yang An and the others had, appeared in front of Gong Gong.

Yang An and the other three waited until Gong Gong had completely solidified his body, then bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Gong Gong."

"Hahaha!" Gong Gong laughed loudly, "Four young friends, no need to be polite, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Lord Gonggong." After expressing their gratitude, the four of them sat on the cushions and waited for Gonggong to continue speaking.

After seeing Yang An and the others sit down, they stared at him.

Gong Gong laughed again and said, "There's no need to be so formal. I just like to make friends with all the talented people on the continent. Today, I heard that the Chaos Body and the Heavenly Soul Body were born at the same time, so I couldn't wait to send Xuanwu to invite you all to be my guests. Don't be offended, everyone. Let's eat and chat at the same time. Come, have a drink first!"

Gonggong's generous character left a good first impression on Yang An and the others. So they all raised their glasses on the table, toasted Gonggong from afar, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Yang An and the others finish the drink, Gong Gong was overjoyed and praised loudly. He then asked, "I wonder if you are from the same school or if you met and traveled together?"

"Master Gonggong, strictly speaking, we are from the same school." Yang An replied. Although Ye Tingxue was a disciple of Nuwa, Fuxi and Nuwa were siblings, so strictly speaking, they were from the same school.

"Oh? I wonder which sect is lucky enough to find the two heaven-defying physiques of Chaos Body and Heavenly Soul Body at the same time?" Gonggong was a little surprised. Being able to possess two such heaven-defying physiques at the same time, when Yang An and Ye Tingxue grow up, this sect will surely dominate the world.

"Please forgive me, sir. Before we left, our master told us not to expose our sect. I dare not disobey the master's order." Yang An replied.

"That's right. Having such a talented disciple is bound to be coveted by all parties or bring about a catastrophic disaster. But your master didn't even arrange a bodyguard for you, and yet he dared to let you go out to train so ostentatiously in the Yufeng Realm. He is really brave. Isn't he afraid that you will die young?" Gonggong asked after taking a sip of wine.

Yang An was shocked when he heard Gonggong's words. In just half a day, Gonggong had actually confirmed that there was no bodyguard around him and his group. He was indeed very powerful.

Yang An thought for a moment and said, "Master said that we all have extraordinary talents. If we stay in the sect, the higher our realm, the lower our future achievements will be. Only by constantly experiencing life and death can we live up to the talents given to us by God. If we die young, we can only blame ourselves for not learning the skills well enough and not doing justice to our talents."

Gong Gong was slightly stunned after hearing this, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, your master is indeed quite capable. No wonder he can attract geniuses like you to become his disciples. Now I'm even more looking forward to meeting your master."

Yang An smiled and said, "I think Master will be very happy to hear the praise from Master Gonggong."

At this time, Gong Gong put down the wine glass in his hand, stared at Yang An, and said seriously: "But in this world, there are not many people with the vision and pattern of your master. Your master is not one of my old friends, right?"
