“Why then, was Ding Hao, a big living person, sucked into the ice wall?”
“Meow…” Evil Moon stretched out his claws, and extended them through the two silver waterfall-like lights. he touched the place where Ding Hao placed himself with his rusted sword. There was a small invisible bulge like a button, but a faint warmth passed to him.
The next moment, a huge suction passed from the button.
“Meow?” Evil Moon widened his eyes and frantically wagged his tail.
The devil cat’s other three claws grabbed the ice wall tightly. He wanted to free himself, but such resistance did not work effectively at all. With a swoosh, his fat body was sucked into the ice wall!
“What is this place?”
Ding Hao quietly stood at a side of the tumbling river, staring at the whistling current.
The red water and the silver water were tumbling in the same river, about twenty meters wide and each was occupying an area of about ten meters. Two colors of water were distinct, without any mixture. They were roaring and flowing to the distance.
What made Ding Hao feel stunned was not just the the river’s color.
It was rare that two colors of water were flowing in the same river, but it was not impossible. Such a spectacle had occurred on earth during the previous life.
The point was that two types of water in the same river before him were different not only in color but also in temperature.
The silver river water was giving off a piercing coolness, while the red river water was extremely hot like boiling magma.
That’s what was strange about the river.
Two types of river water in very different temperatures were not mutually neutralized, and each took half of the river very distinctly.
Several seconds ago, after Ding Hao was attracted against the ice wall by a strange suction, he felt dazzled so that he got some kind of feeling passing through the spacetime tunnel. When his eyesight was recovered, he found that spectacle before him.
It seemed to be a subterranean ice cave. In addition to that strange Yin-Yang River, the riverside space where Ding Hao was standing had a space of about 20 acres, with round ice walls on all sides. The entire space presented an ellipse. The Yin-Yang river emerged from the underground on one side of the space, running along the channel, and disappearing into the ice wall on the other side of the space.
The ice on all four sides of the ice cave’s space released a faint silver light.
So the whole space was not dim; it had a beauty like a kind of crystal brilliance.
What made Ding Hao even more surprised was that it was clearly a sealed space, but for some unaccountable reason, the air was extremely fresh; it was not stuffy at all. Occasionally, there was a breeze in the space, so it was neither hot nor cold; all in all, it was extremely comfortable.
Now Ding Hao could be sure that he had been sent there by some inscription formation.
When he stretched out the rusted sword, he must have touched a particular mechanism and activared the originally silent formation.
Fortunately, in that ice cave space, there seemed to be no danger at the moment.
Ding Hao wondered what Evil Moon, the devil cat, was doing outside.
As if hearts which had a common beat were linked, the cat’s cry, which Ding Hao was extremely familiar with, sounded without any warning just when Ding Hao thought of Evil Moon. Then, a burst of silver light flashed, and the fat Evil Moon fell down with open teeth and claws.
“Meow. Help! I don’t want to die…” Evil Moon screamed with his eyes closed.
Smiling sullenly, Ding Hao reached out his hands to catch the cat.
“Meow?” The devil cat opened his eyes slightly while still in shock. When he saw his surroundings clearly, he made an action of patting his breast with his claws. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Meow. There you are. How about it? Am I loyal to you or not? I was worried that something unfortunate would happen to you, so I came to protect you as soon as possible!”
Ding Hao: “…”
“Meow. Alright. Where am I?”
“I don’t know.”
“Meow. It looks very beautiful here… Meow? That river is very strange… Meow? The ice wall is shining crystically… Meow? The space is big here… Meow? It seems like there’s wind here…”
“Don’t feel strange, ok?”
“Meow? Look! Looks like there’s some handwriting on the distant wall!”
“Don’t feel strange. I saw it a long time ago… What? Some handwriting? Where?” Ding Hao was coping with the devil cat in a careless way, and he was thinking how to get out of that strange underground ice cave. Should he jump into the Yin-Yang river for a try? When he heard what the devil cat said, he responded with a start and felt surprised. “What? Where is the handwriting?”
“Meow. There…” Evil Moon pointed at the ice wall opposite the Yin-Yang River with his claw.
Ding Hao looked at it with his full eyesight ability, and all of a sudden, he felt stunned and stayed where he was.
On the opposite ice wall, there was an ice cube about five meters wide and ten meters long. It was obviously different from the surrounding ice. It was not cool and thorough, but it was somewhat white and thick, like a huge white mutton-fat jade and it was extremely squarish. Its surface was extremely smooth like a piece of jade.
That piece of jade was slightly inclined toward the Yin-Yang River, as if it were a mirror, reflecting the whistling river. The flowing ripples were outlined on the mirror’s surface.
Those ripples were not messy.
If people distinguished them carefully, they could find that they formed a pattern similar to the handwriting.
“What a cunning workmanship!”
The inverted reflection of the ripples in the Yin-Yang River became handwriting unexpectedly?!
Was that a masterpiece of nature, or was it created by a peerless superior with his supreme power?
“Is it… the Heaven Book?”
Ding Hao felt extremely shocked.
After a long while, he gradually calmed down. Once again he operated his eyesight fully and carefully distinguished the flashing handwriting on the Jade Mirror. Ding Hao tried to distinguish the handwriting’s meaning, and very soon he worked out the law and cracked the top four eye-catching characters on the jade wall!
“Winning… uh… for Mysterious… Battles, the second word is… is ‘Secrets’!”
“If they are read altogether, they should be ‘Winning Secrets for Mysterious Battles’!”
“Winning Secrects for Mysterious Battles?”
“Does it sound like a name of a cultivation method?”
Before Ding Hao thought about it carefully, at that time—
In his mind, the Sword Master, like a frightened Grass Mud Horse, roared madly, “What? Winning Secrects for Mysterious Battles? How is it possible? It is impossible… impossible. How could this cultivation method be in this place?”
At the same time, like an abandoned woman who saw that her unfaithful lover changed his mind, the Saber Master shouted with a love-hatred tone, “Haha. I must have misheard. How is it possible? Unexpectedly, is it the Winning Secrets for Mysterious Battles? Oh. I must be too tired recently. I am hallucinating now. Haha. There must be something wrong…”
Ding Hao felt stunned and then he asked subconsciously, “Since you two have such reactions… Uh, does this Winning Secrets for Mysterious Battles have an unusual background?”
