Tang Zheng didn"t expect the Heaven Monk to be so surprised by the Witch Clan. This meant that the Witch Clan was far more extraordinary than he had imagined, and he quickly asked, "Do you know why the Witch Clan was trapped inside the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains?""A thousand years ago, the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains was a dangerous place, and ordinary cultivators rarely entered, as for the Prehistoric Heavenly Tomb that you mentioned, I have never heard of it, and I do not know when the Witch Clan was trapped in there." Heaven Monk shook his head.
Tang Zheng was very disappointed. She had thought that the Heaven Monk would be able to answer his question.
"However, this brat, you were lucky enough to encounter such a fortuitous opportunity, I am truly envious of you. It seems that after I leave the capital, I will have to go to the Prehistoric Heavenly Tomb again." Heaven Monk was moved.
"But you must be careful, it"s very strange inside."
"Hehe, of course I know. I came to the capital this time to save your life. Heaven Monk raised his eyebrows and winked at Su Yun as he asked.
"Please, I don"t know about you yet. I"m sure you didn"t come here for me. Why did you come to the capital?" But Tang Zheng did not fall for it.
"You"re getting smarter and smarter, kid."
"Of course, and you even call me your good disciple. You must be sick of it this time." Tang Zheng immediately cut through his thoughts.
Heaven Monk laughed complacently. "Of course, it"s not like you don"t know that being your master is my biggest regret."
"Come on, tell me why you came to the capital this time. Also, aren"t you looking for the whereabouts of cultivators? What kind of clues do you have?"
The Heaven Monk coughed and said, "After a few months of hard work, although I haven"t seen any other cultivators, I"ve finally found a way out. From this way, we"ll know what happened in the past thousand years and why the cultivators disappeared."
"Oh? Could it be that the breakthrough point is in the capital?" Tang Zheng suddenly realized.
The Heaven Monk nodded his head in approval, pointed to his feet and said: "The breakthrough point is right here."
Tang Zheng lowered his head and looked, there was nothing else there, so he asked: "Don"t play dumb with me, what"s so special about this place?"
"Hehe, do you know what the purpose of this Imperial City was back then?"
"Of course the Imperial City is built as the palace of the Emperor."
"Then why did we need to build a new imperial city in the south?"
"Don"t bully me because I haven"t studied history. The Son of Heaven is guarding the kingdom, and everyone knows about it." Tang Zheng said.
Heaven Monk laughed strangely: "That"s why I said that you are a genius in cultivation, but in some aspects you are still too inexperienced. The Son of Heaven guarding the country is only an excuse, the most important thing is this thing beneath your feet."
"Stop trying to be mysterious, my feet are just on the floor and there"s nothing else."
"Alright, then I"ll answer your question. Let me tell you, this is information that I spent a lot of effort to obtain. There is a dragon beneath our feet."
"Dragon?" Tang Zheng was shocked.
"Yes, a real dragon is one of your legendary dragons. Even a thousand years ago, dragons were an extremely rare sight. Dragons are also a member of the demon race, but they are extremely n.o.ble and rare. The Heaven Monk said.
Tang Zheng was stupefied, he looked at the floor in a daze, there was a dragon below him, a mythical dragon?
Tshh Tshh!
Xiao Bai jumped back again and tilted her mouth disapprovingly as if she was protesting against the Heaven Monk"s words.
The Heaven Monk was somewhat enlightened and said: "Seeing how disapproving it seems, it doesn"t seem to care too much about the dragon. I am truly curious about its origins."
"Hey, let"s not talk about Xiao Bai first. Do you really think there"s a dragon beneath our feet?"
"Of course, I don"t know how the Emperor used to capture this dragon, but he built this imperial city to imprison this dragon. He used this imperial city"s formation to imprison the dragon."
"Wait, didn"t the ancient emperors all call themselves real dragon and the son of heaven? If you see a dragon, don"t you want to give it to them? Tang Zheng was confused, the amount of information in this information was too much.
"Haha, real dragon and the son of heaven? It"s just that the emperor has a reason to imprison the dragon, and that is to absorb the dragon"s aura, so that it can extend lifespan. The emperor will sit on the dragon throne all day long and continuously absorb the dragon"s aura, which is more useful than any other miraculous medicine. " The Heaven Monk said.
"Besides, the ruler of a country has the most authority. Nothing can stop him now. Don"t you think that imprisoning a dragon is a great accomplishment? This is simply the ever-lasting emperor, something that other emperors are simply unable to accomplish. "
Tang Zheng was truly at a loss for words, only after a long while did he say: "Even if there is a dragon beneath our feet, what does that have to do with us searching for cultivators?"
"This dragon has been here for hundreds of years. I believe it can help us explain why the cultivators have disappeared." The Heaven Monk said solemnly.
"Then let"s hurry up and find it. Should we pry open the floor?" Tang Zheng asked.
Heaven Monk curled his lips and said with disdain: "If ripping it apart was any use, someone else would have found out about this dragon a long time ago. I really don"t have anything in common with you."
Tang Zheng was despised, and scratched his head in embarra.s.sment.
"This imperial city is an enormous formation. Of course, we need to find the crux of this formation before we can see that dragon."
"Then hurry up and look for him. Don"t waste your time, otherwise, if the sun rises and the tourists come, you won"t have the chance."
"Get out of the way, kid, don"t get in the way."
Heaven Monk began to wander around the palace, releasing a mysterious force that gradually filled the air, causing Xiao Bai to exclaim in shock as she widened her round eyes.
"Open!" Suddenly, Heaven Monk shouted loudly. A beam of light soared into the sky and wrapped around the few of them. Tang Zheng"s vision went blank for a moment as the scene in front of his eyes abruptly changed.
"Hey, where are we?" Tang Zheng looked at everything in front of him curiously. It was a path, with two sides being a stone wall.
"We"ve reached the underground palace." Heaven Monk explained from the side. This is a teleportation array that brought us from the palace to the underground.
"Is that dragon here?"
"Of course, come with me. Let me tell you, dragons are not the other Demonic Beasts, your ability is not enough, be careful not to get eaten by it."
"Hehe, with you here, how could I be eaten?"
Tshh Tshh!
Xiao Bai cried out and waved her claws, as if saying "Don"t be afraid, I will protect you".
Tang Zheng didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
This path was very long, and as the few of them continued walking, an invisible pressure gradually began to emanate from it, making it hard for them to breathe.
Tang Zheng immediately used his cultivation to remove the pressure.
If a normal person was here, they would have already been forced to lie on the ground and be unable to move.
"What"s going on?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
"Dragon"s Might!" When the Emperor absorbs the dragon aura, he will have this sort of dignity. " The Heaven Monk explained, "The more powerful the dragon is, the more people will submit to it."
The pa.s.sageway finally reached its end and the scene was suddenly clear and bright. It was a large hall with a dome. The dome was inlaid with fist-sized Night Pearls, so the hall was illuminated as bright as day.
However, the Night Pearl was not enough to attract Tang Zheng"s attention. At this moment, he was staring at the enormous being in the middle of the hall with his mouth agape — — Dragon!
It was truly a dragon. Its entire body was covered in golden scales, and there wasn"t much difference from the legends. It lay p.r.o.ne on the ground, and its enormous body took up more than half of the hall.
It"s eyes were closed, as if it was sleeping. When Tang Zheng and the others finally walked into the hall, its eyes suddenly opened, revealing eyeb.a.l.l.s that were as big as basketb.a.l.l.s. With a flash of golden light, an indescribable dragon might engulfed everything, and Tang Zheng subconsciously took half a step back before he managed to stabilize his body.
It was as if Tang Zheng had suffered a heavy blow with just a gaze. This was the strength of a dragon.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath, he could barely suppress the fear in his heart. Heaven Monk also had difficulty hiding his shock, muttering to himself: "I finally saw a dragon. Heh, it"s actually a Five-clawed Golden Dragon."
The Heaven Monk was not afraid. On the contrary, he was very excited because the answer was about to be revealed.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew, and the dragon gradually straightened up, looking down on them with an unparalleled might.
"Don"t worry, there"s an array formation suppressing it. It can"t threaten us." Heaven Monk hurriedly said.
Sure enough, there was a crisp jingling sound. The dragon"s five claws were covered with pitch-black chains, and when it lifted its body, it made a jingling sound.
Tshh Tshh!
Xiao Bai suddenly jumped out from Tang Zheng"s embrace.
"Xiao Bai, don"t go!" Tang Zheng turned pale with fright, he anxiously wanted to hug Xiao Bai, but Heaven Monk stopped her, "Are you not afraid of death? If you approach it, the only way out is death, don"t look at how it is suppressed by the array, it"s more than enough to deal with you."
"But what about Xiao Bai, I can"t let anything happen to him. Xiao Bai, come back quickly." Tang Zheng was unable to struggle free from Heaven Monk"s grasp, and anxiously tried to advise her.
However, Xiao Bai acted as if she did not hear it at all, and she scurried to the front of the golden dragon. In front of this enormous creature, she seemed like a small insignificant thing that could be ignored.
Xiao Bai stood in front of the golden dragon and raised her head high up. She stared at the golden dragon and pouted her lips as if she was about to spurt fire.
Spitting fire at a golden dragon, did he want to roast it to eat?
Tang Zheng didn"t know whether to laugh or cry.
"Heaven Monk, don"t pull me, I"m going to save it."
Xiao Bai had saved Tang Zheng multiple times, so Tang Zheng couldn"t just watch it become the food in the golden dragon"s plate. This guy had been imprisoned for hundreds of years, it was probably going to go crazy from starvation.
Tang Zheng activated his technique and struggled out of the Heaven Monk in an instant. With a leap, he pounced towards Xiao Bai and shouted: "Xiao Bai, come back quickly."
However, Xiao Bai turned a deaf ear to him and continued to stare at the golden dragon. The golden dragon was also staring at the little guy, staring at each other.
Suddenly, the golden dragon moved. A fierce gale blew and the golden dragon bent its body, causing Tang Zheng to fall down.
"Whiz!"
The golden dragon opened its mouth wide and pounced towards Xiao Bai.
