Chapter 305
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 noble 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!
Little White jumped back again and twitched its little mouth disapprovingly, as if it 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, don't talk about Lil 'White, do you think there really is a dragon under 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 embarrassment.
"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, and a mysterious power gradually filled the air. Little White cried out in surprise and opened its round eyes wide.
"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!
Little White cried out and waved its claws, as if to say, Don't be afraid, I'll 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 passageway 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 prone 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 eyeballs that were as big as basketballs. 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.
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.
"Little White, don't go!" Tang Zheng turned pale with fright. He wanted to hug Little White but was stopped by Heaven Monk, "Are you not afraid of death? If you approach it, the only way out is death.
"But what about Lil 'White? I can't let anything happen to him. Lil' White, come back quickly." Tang Zheng was unable to struggle free from Heaven Monk's grasp, and anxiously tried to advise her.
However, Little White acted as if it didn't hear him and rushed in front of the golden dragon. In front of this huge creature, it was like a tiny speck of dust that could be ignored.
Lil 'White stood in front of the golden dragon and raised its head high. It stared at it without blinking. It pouted its mouth as though it was about to spew fire and squeaked in displeasure.
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."
Little White had saved Tang Zheng multiple times, so Tang Zheng couldn't just watch it become the golden dragon's plate of food. It had been imprisoned for hundreds of years, so it was probably hungry to death.
Tang Zheng activated his technique and instantly broke free from the Heaven Monk. With a leap, he rushed towards Little White and shouted, "Little White, come back quickly."
However, Little White turned a deaf ear and continued to stare at the golden dragon. The golden dragon also looked at the little guy and their eyes met.
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 and pounced toward Little White.
