The sound of the Chaos Bell was gradually replaced by the sound of flowing water. When Shen Qian came to his senses, he found himself in an endless gray haze.
This place seems to be the beginning of heaven and earth, or the end of the world. Beyond the gray haze, starlight can be seen, but no one knows what it is.
From the gray mist, a mighty silver river surged forth, flowing past the feet of the sinker. Beside him, the Chaos Bell floated silently.
"It worked?"
Shen Qian let out a soft sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief at surviving a disaster. He hadn't felt anything like this in a very long time, not even in the perilous ancient times, when he had never experienced such pressure.
Just as Shen Qian was pondering what to do next, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look to the side, his hair standing on end.
Dozens of meters away, parallel to him, a figure was gradually becoming clearer from the fuzzy surface. During this time, the figure seemed to encounter some kind of rejection, and its form was on the verge of collapse several times. But no one knew what method it used, and its form eventually appeared little by little.
When that faintly smiling expression finally became clear, Chen Qian felt a little suffocated.
"Lord Lingtian!"
He can even trace back through the river of time!
This was completely unexpected, but it didn't stop Shen Qian from abandoning his thoughts and immediately putting away the Chaos Bell and plunging into the surging river of time.
After Ling Tianhou's figure solidified, he looked around and seemed very interested in everything there.
As his gaze swept over the scattered stars amidst the gray haze, Ling Tianhou's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "The source of the 'Dao'..."
However, after discovering that his palms could not penetrate the surrounding gray barrier, Ling Tianhou had no choice but to give up with regret.
"Its presence can still be felt here."
Ling Tianhou's expression turned cautious, and he followed in Shen Qian's footsteps, plunging headlong into the river of time.
...
In the vast river of time, there are countless magnificent scrolls flowing by. Those scrolls representing key moments of the era flow continuously at a certain constant speed, completely unaffected by the two intruders.
Shen Qian was heading towards the mudslide, while his mind raced, trying to come up with a solution.
Ling Tianhou followed not far behind him at a leisurely pace, occasionally turning his head to look at the paintings on both sides, and sometimes exchanging a few words with Shen Qian. Their relaxed demeanor made them seem like good friends who had come out for a spring outing if one did not know the inside story.
The only thing that Shen Qian was thankful for was that, due to the limitations of the River of Time, even Ling Tianhou could not accelerate; he could only follow behind Shen Qian, always maintaining the same distance.
Moreover, Shen Qian keenly noticed that, compared to the previous two times, the river of time had also undergone some changes.
The most obvious thing is that no matter which direction you go, the resistance is much greater.
This made Shen Qian somewhat uneasy. He was unsure whether this change stemmed from the river of time itself or from the unknown dangers that had once appeared.
If it is the latter, it means that entering again before sinking is very likely to alarm that unknown and terrifying being. The advantage is that once that unknown being descends, even Ling Tianhou will probably not be able to escape.
After all, in Shen Qian's view, any "creature" capable of influencing the river of time had already exceeded the limit for kings and nobles.
"Shen Qian, where did you find the Chaos Bell?"
Ling Tianhou followed leisurely behind Shen Qian and asked with great interest.
While pondering a way to escape, Shen Qian thought for a moment and then decided not to hide anything from Ling Tianhou, saying, "From ancient times."
"Ancient... What a pity, it's just a replica. If it were the original Chaos Bell, you would have already gotten rid of me completely by now."
Ling Tianhou nodded thoughtfully.
Ling Tianhou seemed to know many secrets, and he didn't even seem too surprised when he entered the River of Time. However, in terms of age, he was only a dozen years older than me, making him a member of the younger generation... Moreover, Liu Changqing said that Ling Tianhou was also an orphan, without a noble family or a fixed teacher...
A question flashed through Shen Qian's mind; it was something he had never been able to figure out.
"Have you seen the Chaos Bell in its true form?" Shen Qian asked tentatively.
The reason he was willing to talk to Ling Tianhou was to see if he could obtain some useful information from the other side.
"I didn't, but the Prince of Jiangling must have seen it." Ling Tianhou glanced at Shen Qian and said with a faint smile, "Otherwise, how could he have made a replica of the Chaos Bell?"
"The replica of the Chaos Bell was made by the King of Jiangling?" Shen Qian was shocked. He had thought that the replica of the Chaos Bell itself came from ancient times.

Ling Tianhou's answer also confirmed one of his guesses, namely that the Nine Kings Secret Realm in ancient times was indeed left behind by King Jiangling.
In other words, it is highly likely that King Jiangling also set foot in ancient times and left behind a replica of the Chaos Bell and some unintelligible information there. This seems to be based on the premise that King Jiangling knew he would definitely go to that ancient era.
"Hehe, you may not know that besides being the first of the nine kings, King Jiangling also has another identity: the 'Heavenly Mandate Grand Weapon Refiner'."
Ling Tianhou smiled faintly and casually revealed a shocking secret that had never been recorded in writing.
"A Heavenly Fate Grand Refiner?"
He was shocked before he sank.
Judging from the literal meaning, it's not hard to guess that the so-called "Heavenly Destiny Grand Refiner" is the same as the "Heavenly Destiny Grand Alchemist," corresponding to the ultimate title of the alchemist secondary profession path.
