Chapter 133: Chapter 94: Gangding Peak Forbidden Land - Nine Dragon Cave, This is a High-Level Game

A Foundation Establishment Ninth Level Magic Corpse. This was the enemy with the highest Cultivation Lu Chen had encountered since Yu Tianqi and the Black Rock King.

Actually, if he had encountered such an enemy outside the dungeon, he would definitely have turned around and left without a second thought.

But sorry, he was in a dungeon with infinite resurrections.

Therefore, even knowing that he most likely wouldn’t be Pang Xiao’s match right now, he continued approaching him without changing his expression.

Having infinite resurrections just made one this willful.

Watching Lu Chen constantly walking toward him, Pang Xiao sighed helplessly. His body, currently shouldering the Golden Tripod, was already like a candle in the wind; he wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. In the end, just as he was about to give out, someone had actually stumbled into this place by accident.

When there was a way to live, why insist on walking the path of death? Wasn’t it good to be alive...?

Thinking of this, Pang Xiao ultimately decided to persuade Lu Chen to stop coming any closer.

"Fellow Daoist... please stop right there..."

Hearing this, Lu Chen finally chose to stop where the numerous Secret Silver Tripods were. He looked up at Pang Xiao, who was struggling to shoulder the Golden Tripod on the high platform not far away, and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist know where this is? And why are so many Dharma Cauldrons placed here?"

Pang Xiao looked in astonishment at Lu Chen, who was wearing a Danyang Peak Disciple’s Attire, only just realizing that Lu Chen wasn’t a disciple of Gangding Peak. Perhaps knowing his days were numbered, Pang Xiao directly answered Lu Chen’s question.

"To answer Fellow Daoist, this place is our Gangding Peak’s Forbidden Land... the Nine Dragon Cave.

"The Spirit Cauldrons surrounding Fellow Daoist are part of a Grand Array laid down by our Sect’s founding ancestor, Cyan Cloud Upper Immortal. It is called the Dragon-locking Array.

"This array can suppress the Fortune Golden Dragon, seizing its power to bless the Sect with everlasting prosperity.

"However, the Golden Dragon is unruly. It turns over every hundred years and rolls every thousand years. Therefore, our Gangding Peak Cultivators need to constantly replace the suppressing tripods to prevent it from escaping.

"And what I am shouldering right now is one of the nine array cores in the Dragon-locking Array, called the Dragon-locking Golden Tripod.

"Although I don’t know the situation with the rest of the Grand Array, I can feel that this Evil Dragon’s movements are becoming more and more frequent.

"Perhaps once this Golden Tripod falls, the Fortune Golden Dragon beneath our peak... will soon break out of the tripods."

Hearing Pang Xiao’s words, Lu Chen finally understood where the "Tripod" in Gangding Peak came from. And he also realized what those massive chains running all the way through the cave were meant for.

Just as Danyang Peak could suppress violent Earth Fire and use it to assist the Pill Masters within the peak with Alchemy, Gangding Peak’s specialty was that it could lock down the Fortune Golden Dragon. Then it would constantly absorb the Golden Dragon’s Fortune, thereby allowing the Sect to become more prosperous.

Was this the legendary method of an Immortal?

In a trance, Lu Chen seemed to see a man stepping on cyan clouds, bearing divine light on his back. From the Ninth Layer of heaven, he brought down an incomparably massive square tripod, firmly suppressing the Fortune Golden Dragon hidden deep underground, rendering it completely immobile.

Then he set up nine enormous Tongtian chains, thoroughly trapping the Fortune Golden Dragon so it could never escape.

Finally, he passed on his teachings to the people of Gangding Peak, telling them how to maintain the Dragon-locking Array and how to make good use of this Golden Dragon’s Fortune.

Ruthless. This Immortal was too ruthless.

Just to elevate the Sect’s fortune, he directly locked up a Fortune Golden Dragon for tens of thousands of years. Extracting its fortune day and night. For the Fortune Golden Dragon, how was this any different from being caged by someone who crushed its bones and sucked out its marrow?

Once he placed himself in the perspective of the Fortune Golden Dragon, Lu Chen’s heart inexplicably filled with resentment. And this resentment grew heavier and heavier, so much so that Lu Chen’s expression slowly became savage.

But just as Lu Chen was about to lose himself, the Ink Flood Dragon Sword in his hand suddenly vibrated, emitting a crisp sound. And this sudden sound instantly snapped him back to his senses.

Lu Chen looked at the Ink Flood Dragon Sword in his hand, a hint of confusion flashing in his once-again clear eyes.

"Strange. I’m clearly a Human Race Cultivator, so why would I empathize with a Fortune Golden Dragon? And why was the vision of the Immortal locking the dragon so clear, as if it had really happened right in front of my eyes? I only just learned about Gangding Peak’s situation for the first time! Could it be... something is influencing me?!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately looked toward the Dragon-locking Golden Tripod on Pang Xiao’s shoulder.

He saw that a carving of a Golden Dragon etched onto the Golden Tripod had stood up at some point, looking as if it were about to break free from the tripod and fly out. And it was staring unblinkingly right at him.

"Let me out... let me out...

"Damned Cyan Cloud Upper Immortal! Once I escape, I will absolutely annihilate your Cyan Cloud Sect! Your entire Sect!!!

"Junior of my race, stop standing there like an idiot! Hurry up and help me slay this Cyan Cloud abomination and help me escape..."

Shortly after Lu Chen looked at the Golden Dragon, a voice filled with boundless resentment echoed by his ear.

At this point, how could Lu Chen not know that the vision of the Immortal locking the Golden Dragon he had just seen was intentionally shown to him by the Fortune Golden Dragon using some method?

And Lu Chen also quickly realized why it had sought him out. It was definitely because of the Dragon Transformation Sword Intent on his body. Fortune was inherently an illusory and ethereal thing, and so was Sword Intent. Therefore, there wasn’t a huge difference in essence between the Fortune Golden Dragon and the Sword Intent Flood Dragon.

So even though he was actually of the Human Race and was still wearing the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect Disciple’s Attire... in the eyes of the Fortune Golden Dragon at this moment, he was an absolute comrade!

"But... do I really want to help it escape?"

Recalling the twisted and maddened tone the Fortune Golden Dragon had just used, as well as the boundless hatred toward the Cyan Cloud Sect in its words...
