Chapter 338 The Place Where Dragons and Tigers Meet
"I bet I can find the place where the dragon and tiger meet... a million..."

"I bet I can find the place where the dragon and tiger meet... If I lose, I'll give you a million..."

"I bet... if you lose, you treat me to a big sword..."

"I bet..."

Kurumi tried several more times, but failed to activate his talent. However, seeing Chen Guan's expectant eyes, as if he were the hero who would save the world and the last hope of mankind, Kurumi couldn't bring himself to give up.

Because of his appearance and personality, everyone thought Kururu was not a good person.

Even his own parents felt that he wouldn't achieve anything in the future, and that it would be good enough if he didn't go astray.

Of course, you can't entirely blame others. He didn't like studying when he was young, and he wasn't an honest kid. He skipped classes, got into fights, chased girls, gambled, and played games. That's how he grew up. No one had high expectations of him, and very few people trusted him.

Because everyone's impression of him is that of a hoodlum, a gambler, a person who loves to gamble, how could he possibly be trustworthy?
Looking at Chen Guan, Kuang Liu now had the illusion that the world was about to end and needed him, the great hero, to save it.

“I…bet…I…can find the place where the dragon and tiger meet…If I lose…this life is yours…If you lose…buy me a drink…” Kuang Liu felt an impulse.

What seemed like an unfair bet to him at that moment felt like a fair and equal wager.

What he wanted wasn't the drink, but the glory, respect, and trust of a savior.

At this moment, a sense of mission and honor surpassed everything else.

Whether Kurumi will regret it after this high-energy phase passes is unknown, but right now he genuinely feels that this is very important.

"Win every bet... Activate..." Kuang Liu felt his talent activate, and a sense of conquest welled up within him. He looked at Chen Guan with delight.

"That's great... Sixth Brother... You're so reliable... What should we do now?" Chen Guan was overjoyed.

"Wait a minute." Kurohiro reached into his pocket and quickly pulled out a die. He clasped his hands together, shook it, and finally threw it on the ground.

The dice spun on the ground and finally stopped at six.

"What does this mean?" Chen Guan asked.

"Two, three, four, and five represent east, south, west, and north. I'm checking which direction we should go," Kuang Liu said with a somewhat strange expression.

"What does the number six represent?" Chen Guan asked again.

“Generally speaking, one represents heaven and six represents earth. Does that mean we should dig a hole down here?” Kuang Liu pondered.

"That doesn't make sense. The Shenlong Mountains are in the sky, so how could the place where the Longhu Mountains meet be down below?" Chen Guan felt that this was unreliable.

Moreover, Tiger Mountain is so big, who knows where to dig a tunnel from?

Besides, the rocks on Tiger Mountain are incredibly hard; even if they dig for ten days or half a month, they won't be able to dig very deep.

"Trust me, it's definitely true. Follow me, let's search, we'll definitely get down there." Kuang Liu said as he began searching the area near the mountaintop.

Chen Guan could only trust him now. The two wandered around the mountaintop for a while, and Kuang Liu stared at a boulder and said, "There's something wrong with that rock. Let's go take a look."

When Chen Guan came over and took a look, he found that the stone was indeed problematic, with signs of wear near the bottom.

"Sixth Brother, your observation skills are really impressive." Chen Guan couldn't help but admire him; Kuang Liu's success wasn't solely based on talent.

Chen Guan and Kuang Liu together couldn't move the boulder, and Sengoku and Bosmon also tried their best, but their efforts were almost negligible. Chen Guan summoned the Demon Eye, whose massive body wrapped around the boulder, forcefully pulling it a distance away.

On one side of the boulder, a cave entrance was revealed.

“There really is a path…” Chen Guan looked down and saw that the cave was pitch black, so dark that he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face. He quickly took out his flashlight and shone it inside.

Below is a cave, and further down there are semi-natural, semi-artificial steps.

"Let's go." Kurumi got off without hesitation.

Chen Guan followed, and soon the steps disappeared, leaving only a natural cave.

The cave was a maze of passages, and it was so dark that it was easy to miss some of the paths, but Kuang Liu, who was leading the way, ignored all of that and led Chen Guan forward.

Overall, Kuang Liu was just going down, and eventually Chen Guan lost his sense of direction. The cave passages here were too complicated to tell which way to go.

After walking for more than a day, the cave ahead suddenly became bright, and the two finally emerged from the cave.

Outside the cave was a stone staircase, with nothing connecting the steps. The stone slabs, each the size of a washboard, floated in the mist, leading one step at a time to the clouds, with no end in sight.

Below was a bottomless abyss, a veritable road to heaven where neither the sky nor the bottom could be seen.

"Don't look at me, there's absolutely no way I can go up there. That's where the dragon and tiger meet, you have to go by yourself." Seeing Chen Guan looking at him, Kuang Liu took two steps back and shook his head.

His fear of heights meant he couldn't even take a single step up.

“I’ll carry you up,” Chen Guan said.

"No... why don't you just kill me..." Kuang Liu waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, refusing to go up no matter what.

"Then I'll go up and take a look myself." Chen Guan thought that the place where the dragon and tiger meet should be up there, and he could go up by himself.

Moreover, we haven't seen Fu Tianji and the others along the way. They've probably already arrived at their destination. We need to hurry over there, or it will be too late once they've taken the things.

Chen Guan picked up Zhan Guo and ran quickly up the stone steps.

"Be careful..." Kuang Liu felt dizzy and weak-kneed watching Chen Guan run like that, and took a few steps back.

Chen Guan wasn't worried at all. He had the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, so even if he accidentally fell, he could fly back up and return to the stone steps.

The sky and the ground were filled with rolling clouds, and Chen Guan felt as if he were walking on clouds. The boundless grandeur and magnificence of the vast expanse of heaven and earth gave Chen Guan the feeling that he was ascending to heaven to seek immortality and was about to enter the celestial realm.

"Everyone says that grotto-heavens are like fairylands, and that one's life is wasted if one does not enter a grotto-heaven. One can get a glimpse of this from the Dragon and Tiger Mountains. They are indeed wonders that are hard to imagine in the human world," Chen Guan thought to himself.

He didn't know how long he had been climbing. There were no sunsets or stars, no day or night. Just as Chen Guan was about to reach the uppermost clouds, he saw a huge island floating above the clouds. From the edge of the island, waterfalls of clouds, like giant dragons, cascaded down into the sea of ​​clouds.

"This is truly a paradise!" Chen Guan quickened his pace. At the end of this heavenly ladder lay the island that seemed to float in mid-air.

Just when it seemed like they were almost there, Chen Guan climbed for another two hours before finally reaching the floating island.

The island is shrouded in mist and clouds, with celestial mountains appearing and disappearing, making it seem like a paradise.

When Chen Guan walks here, it's as if he's a god riding on clouds.
