Jiang Bai quickly recalled the terrain from here to Nantianmen and found that there was indeed an unusually wide passage.
However, most of this passage has now been transformed into lakes and rivers. If Jiang Bai hadn't once looked down over the entire Liyue from the air, he might not have been able to make that connection.
"The Dragon-Suppressing Stones are crystallized products formed by the intense reaction of rock elements during the battle back then. These stones have miraculously survived, but they have now been completely mined out."
"So that's how it was formed..."
For rock element crystals to directly transform into solids, what kind of elemental reaction would that require?
"Hi~"
Jiang Bai suddenly remembered something.
"Master? Was that vast underground space in the main mining area of the Abyss created during your battle?"
"Ah."
"How big must he be?"
The mere act of dragging created a huge passageway, and the battle itself carved out a vast underground space.
The size of this Geo Dragon is simply unimaginable.
“Very big.”
"Then why not seal it directly in the Abyss of Layered Rocks? Why bring it all the way to the Southern Heavenly Gate?"
"The noise from mining is too loud; the pounding of the mining tools is like incessant raindrops, which disturbs his sleep."
No wonder they went to such lengths to bring him to the quiet and remote South Heavenly Gate for sealing; it was both for his safety and to ensure he wouldn't be disturbed.
"I really can't figure out what he did that made you seal him away, Master."
Just as Zhongli was about to answer, Kunjun's voice came over.
"Mr. Zhongli, we've found a clue."
The conversation was abruptly ended, and Zhongli stepped off the rock.
"How is it?"
"Those four miners were indeed taken away by that little girl. Judging from the direction they were heading, they should have left the mining area."
"Let's tell Lao Dai about these clues first."
Watching Zhongli chatting with Kunjun, Jiang Bai wanted to ask him about Kunjun, but felt it was unnecessary.
Kunjun's problem is so obvious that there's no need to ask; he definitely has something wrong.
After discussing the matter in detail with the client, we decided to split into two groups.
The client went to the neighborhood to look for families to see which household the little girl belonged to.
Jiang Bai and his team continued their search following the clues.
"Judging from the direction, they should be heading towards Lingju Pass."
The group made their way to Lingju Pass and inquired about information along the way, and did indeed obtain some clues.
One person said that he saw a girl and four men carrying baskets on their backs walking by three or four days ago.
The four men all looked blank, as if they hadn't slept properly. The little girl in front of them swayed unsteadily, her expression serious.
Following the trail, we eventually arrived at Tianqiu Valley.
Jiang Bai looked back at the road they had traveled and fell into deep thought.
Why does he feel like his destination is the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Sealed Rock Element Dragon King?
Connecting Zhongli's sudden offer to take him to see the Dragon King, the miner's disappearance in the Layered Rock Abyss, and Kunjun's sudden appearance, who can see the memories of the stone.
All of this is probably related to that Geo Dragon King.
Kun Jun found another piece of amber. He placed his hand on it and saw the memories within.
Zhongli looked at him quietly and chuckled, "Brother Kun's scenes of reading the stone's memories are always interesting, no matter how many times I watch them."
"This so-called skill is really not useful in ordinary times, but it can be of some significance if it can amuse Mr. Zhongli." Kun Jun's tone was light and his words were sincere.
Jiang Bai's gaze swept between the two of them.
His intuition told him so.
These two people must have known each other before.
This Kun Jun is definitely not an ordinary person; he might just be the Dragon King!
The more impossible something seems, the more likely it is to be true. Jiang Bai's guess was extremely bold.
Moreover, Zhongli clearly saw through Kunjun's identity.
Jiang Bai couldn't say for sure about Kun Jun's current condition.
Aside from his knowledge of minerals, he knew very little, not even his family members, only his home address.
It's a pity that the encounter was too short, otherwise Jiang Bai could have really checked whether there was such a person as Kun Jun.
"They should be heading towards the South Heavenly Gate. It's getting late, let's rest for a bit."
Jiang Bai set up camp and built a stove on the spot.
I've been traveling all day and I'm exhausted.
Jiang Bai told Kong to go cook, and then moved closer to Kun Jun, who was studying the stones.
"Mr. Kunjun, you really like stones?"
"Yes, being around ore makes me feel very safe."
"Yes, I feel the same way when I'm next to my master."
The weight of the rock is reassuring.
"Oh right, I just remembered that the Dragon-Suppressing Stone seems to have disappeared."
"Extinct?" Kunjun asked in surprise.
"Yes, it was completely mined out hundreds of years ago."
“Is that so…” Kun Jun suddenly felt a little dejected.
"Even stones cannot last forever, just like the memories within minerals, which change over time..."
He seemed to be just sighing, but it also seemed like he was saying something else entirely.
Jiang Bai tilted his head, unable to understand.
It seems that Kunjun's memories have recovered quite a bit.
After trekking through mountains and rivers for several days, we finally arrived at Nantianmen.
Jiang Bai looked up at the giant Fulong Tree in the South Heavenly Gate Valley.
I didn't feel anything when I came here before, but now I find this tree to be unusually mysterious.
Fulong, Fulong.
That Geo Dragon King is probably located beneath this large tree.
"Come and see! Come and see! There are traces here!" Paimon discovered very new footprints.
Following the footprints for a while, the clanging and banging sounds entered my ears.
Chapter 656 Big Fat Dragon, Take This!
Upon closer inspection, several miners were digging under the fulong tree, creating a tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel, an ancient sealed gate was faintly visible.
"So it really was here..."
"What really is here?" Kong didn't understand what Jiang Bai was exclaiming about.
"It's the Geo Dragon King."
What is the Elemental Dragon King?
"It is the strongest elemental life form."
"Hey, wake up."
Paimon flew to a miner and tried to shake him awake, but the miner ignored him and continued digging, even though he was very tired.
"What's wrong with them?" Paimon flew back, somewhat frightened.
“These miners must be under control,” Zhong Li said calmly.
Kun Jun remained silent after entering, staring at the ancient sealed gate before him.
Jiang Bai kept an eye on his movements, in case he did anything unusual.
Several miners suddenly stopped digging and attacked them.
With a wave of his hand, Zhongli created a shield that enveloped everyone, allowing the miners to attack without affecting those inside.
With another wave of his hand, several miners fainted.
Jiang Bai glanced at Kun Jun again, but he still didn't make a move.
"Master, should we open this seal?"
Jiang Bai approached the sealed gate and touched it.
The seal was very strong and showed no signs of being broken.
"Let's go straight in."
Zhongli led everyone directly through the seal and went inside.
Upon entering the seal, a vast space appeared before them.
A colossal dragon that shook the heavens and the earth appeared before Jiang Bai's eyes. The enormous Fulong Tree was actually just a small section of its tail!
"Wow! It's huge!" Jiang Bai exclaimed.
How exactly did Master manage to drag this giant dragon all the way from the deep abyss of rock to the Southern Heavenly Gate back then?
This giant dragon was sealed by multiple rock ridges, and upon seeing Zhongli, it immediately let out a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Morax!"
Jiang Bai looked at the giant dragon's mouth and felt that it could swallow a hundred of him in one gulp.
Tvalin looked as small as a newborn child in his presence.
The dragon shook its body, and the rocky ridge that sealed it cracked inch by inch.
"Morax! You were the one who sealed me underground a thousand years ago, and now it's you again!"
A roar erupted from the dragon's mouth, whipping up a fierce wind that made it difficult for anyone to stand.
Zhongli looked at him, her heart heavy.
Former friends are now forced to fight each other.
“You should be called destiny, Naga King Ratna.”
"So his name is King Ruoduo..."
Jiang Bai finally learned the name of this Dragon King.
Ruoduo let out a heavy, cold snort and launched an attack.
It stomped its front paw heavily on the ground, causing the entire ground to shake and vibrate as if an earthquake had struck.
The powerful impact spread outwards from the dragon's body, sending rocks flying wherever it passed.
Zhongli waved his hand, and a shield firmly protected the group inside.
Looking at the enormous, mountain-like fat dragon in front of him, Jiang Bai felt a surge of excitement.
"Master? Its strength shouldn't have fully recovered yet, right?"
If it had been restored, it probably would have broken free of the seal long ago, and there would be no need to control people to dig tunnels.
"No, he hasn't completely broken free of the seal. In his current state, he can only use up 30% of his strength at most."
