Chapter 166 Ancient Secrets

Naruto stood aside, looking at the White Snake Immortal with hope. His eyes were full of desire and expectation, as if the White Snake Immortal was his only hope. That focused look made people feel his persistent pursuit of the Medicine King Palace.

Then, the White Snake Immortal's sinister laughter lingered in the hall: "Medicine King Hall? I don't know that kind of place. I don't know where you heard it from." There was a hint of weirdness in the laughter, which made people shudder. However, in its heart, it was puzzled: "This little ghost actually knows about the Medicine King Hall. Could it be that he is also from that place?" The White Snake Immortal's thoughts began to work rapidly, trying to find clues about the Medicine King Hall from his memory.

When Naruto heard the answer from the White Snake Immortal, he felt a little disappointed. His eyes dimmed, as if they had lost their luster. But he knew that the system would not make mistakes. Then he took a step forward and asked with determination: "White Snake Immortal, although we are very presumptuous to come here this time, the Medicine King Palace is very important to me. I hope you will not hide your incompetence from me." Naruto's tone was sincere and firm. He hoped that the White Snake Immortal could feel his sincerity.

Hearing Naruto's words, the White Snake Sage showed a hint of anger: "Are you questioning an old woman, little brat?" There was a hint of majesty in the White Snake Sage's voice, which made people feel her anger. Her old face showed an unhappy expression, as if she was angered by Naruto's words.

The atmosphere in the hall became tense, and everyone felt the anger of the White Snake Immortal. Naruto also realized that his words might be inappropriate, so he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "White Snake Immortal, I have no intention of threatening you, but the Medicine King Hall is too important to me, and I was anxious and said so. Please forgive me." Naruto's tone was full of apology, and he hoped to calm the anger of the White Snake Immortal.

Seeing Naruto apologize sincerely, the White Snake Sage's anger subsided a little. She narrowed her eyes slightly and re-examined the young man in front of her.

"Hmph, kid, you know that this Dragon Cave is not a place where you can act recklessly. But considering your sincerity, I will reconsider it." Although the White Snake Immortal's tone was still serious, there was also a sign of loosening.

When Naruto heard this, hope was rekindled in his heart. He quickly bowed respectfully again and said, "Thank you, White Snake Immortal. Naruto will never forget your kindness."

Orochimaru watched quietly from the side, secretly guessing what the White Snake Sage was thinking. He knew that the White Snake Sage had a strange temper and was unpredictable, but he also hoped that Naruto could successfully find the Medicine King Palace. After all, this might be a rare opportunity for them.

The hall fell into a brief silence, and the White Snake Immortal seemed to be recalling something. After a moment, she slowly said, "Little ghost, since you are so obsessed with the Medicine King Palace, then this old woman will give you a hint. The Medicine King Palace is not an ordinary place. It is hidden deep in the Dragon Cave, and it is surrounded by various dangerous traps and powerful guardian beasts. To find it, you must be strong enough."

Naruto looked at the White Snake Immortal with a firm gaze and said, "Don't worry, White Snake Immortal, I, Naruto, will never be afraid of any difficulties and will definitely find the Medicine King Palace."

The White Snake Immortal nodded slightly and continued, "In addition, the entrance to the Medicine King Hall is not fixed. It moves with the changes in time and space. You need to find specific clues and methods to open the entrance. As for these clues and methods, this old woman does not know, you can only explore it yourself."

Naruto listened carefully to the words of the White Snake Immortal, keeping every word in mind. He knew that this would be the key information for him to find the Medicine King Palace.

"Okay, kid, I have said everything I need to say. If you manage to find the Medicine King Temple, that is your good fortune. If you unfortunately die, you can only blame yourself for being too reckless." After the White Snake Immortal finished speaking, she closed her eyes and ignored everyone.

Naruto took a deep breath and turned to look at Orochimaru and his companions. "Let's go." Everyone nodded and followed Naruto out of the hall and embarked on the difficult journey to find the Medicine King Hall.

The White Snake Immortal closed his eyes and his thoughts drifted far away, thinking back to when he was still a little white snake. The elders of the tribe told him a story about the origin of the ninja world.

It is rumored that tens of thousands of years ago, there was an ancient continent. The continent was so vast that the current ninja world was just a grain of sand in it. That vast ancient continent was full of mystery and legends, with countless strong men galloping across it and all kinds of magical powers interweaving and colliding.

Later, due to the invasion of alien races, they fought with the rulers of the ancient continent. That battle was so dark that the world was dark and the mountains and rivers were broken. The aftermath of the battle shook every inch of space, thunder and lightning struck in the sky, and the earth kept shaking, as if the end of the world was coming. The two fought for several months, and finally the ruler of the ancient continent won a small victory and defeated the alien leader. He then sealed it, but the ruler was afraid that the alien race would revive again, so he closed the channel for the alien invasion at the cost of his own life. The matter was resolved, but at this time the ancient continent had already fallen apart. It turned into millions of small continents, and the ninja world was among them.

The Medicine King Hall was located in a separate space in this continent of the Ninja Realm. In that glorious era, the Medicine King Hall was a holy place revered by countless people, with miraculous medical skills and powerful strength. However, the war that year involved too many people, and it can be said that the entire ancient continent had gathered people. The Medicine King Hall was too special, and the entire clan participated in the war, leaving only a guardian spirit beast to guard the Medicine King Hall and leave behind a legacy.

The ancestor of the White Snake Immortal even warned the White Snake Immortal that countless years later, a young man who understood the method of cultivating the Tao would come to find the Medicine King Palace and obtain the inheritance, lead them back to the ancient continent, and carry forward their clan.

If you ask why Longdi Cave is called Longdi Cave, it is because their ancestor is the guardian beast of Medicine King Hall, and that guardian beast is a real dragon. Over the long years, the dragon loyally guarded Medicine King Hall and spent countless years alone.

After ten thousand years of care, when its life span was running out, it opened up the Dragon Cave and hid the entrance to the Medicine King Hall inside it. It was a magical and powerful move, as if leaving a spark of hope for the future. Afterwards, the dragon used its great magical power to transform its remaining life span into thousands of small snakes. Each small snake carried the dragon's expectations and mission, waiting for the arrival of the destined boy.
