GBP Chapter 159: Dragon Palace
Chapter 159: Dragon Palace
The dome of the palace is extremely high, as if it reaches the sky. Upon closer inspection, it is found to be made of whole pieces of meteorites.
It is inlaid with countless dazzling gems, each of which contains powerful spiritual power. They are interwoven into a gorgeous star map, which seems to be vaguely connected with someone's destiny.
The palace was surrounded by blazing spiritual flames. The flames were dark purple and emitted a chilling aura as they jumped.
From time to time, arcs of lightning flashed above the palace, and the roar echoed between heaven and earth, as if warning all living things in the world not to approach this forbidden place.
"Look, what is that!——"
Lu Yuguan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Nine dragon-shaped creatures wrapped in chains were trapped under the crystal palace floor. Their huge bodies were looming in the darkness, and their dragon scales were shining with various colors, but they could not move due to the force of suppression.
The dragon's eyes widened, spewing out flames of unwillingness, and its whiskers danced wildly in its confinement, trying to break free from the restraints.
"Who dares to trespass into the Dragon Palace?"
A majestic voice came from across the floor, and nine dragons of different shapes all looked up at Lu Yuguan.
[Host, these seem to be real dragons...]
The system was shocked.
"I can see that..." Lu Yuguan muttered to himself.
The dragon trapped in the center shook the chains on its body and asked again, "Human boy, how did you get here?"
Lu Yuguan took a closer look and saw that the beast was as strong as an ox, with horns as sharp as if they could pierce the sky, and its whole body was shining like moonlight, and its voice was as loud as thunder.
Its eyes are like bright stars, flashing with sharp and deep light, as if it can see through all the mysteries and illusions in the world.
Lu Yuguan swallowed and said nervously, "Kui...Senior Kuilong?"
"Do you recognize me?" Kuilong's dragon whiskers swayed, and his noble aura emanated from inside.
"It really is Kuilong!" Lu Yuguan exclaimed.
Originally, when he saw the appearance of the dragon, he guessed that it was Kuilong, one of the nine true dragons in the legend. Unexpectedly, his guess was right.
"It looks like an ox, with a blue body and no horns, and one foot. When it enters or leaves the water, there will be wind and rain. Its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder. Its name is Kui." Lu Yuguan recalled the sentences he saw in the book and murmured to himself.
Hearing Lu Yuguan's words, the nine dragons under the floor burst into laughter.
Kui Long exhaled a dragon's breath and said, "Have you...read our story?"
Lu Yuguan responded seriously, "I have seen descriptions of several predecessors in ancient books. They left a deep impression on me and are hard to forget."
Kuilong nodded slightly and said, "It's rare that a young man like you has some knowledge. Nowadays, there are very few people in this world who know about our past." After that, its huge body slowly circled, and the air around it seemed to tremble because of it.
Although Lu Yuguan was still nervous, he was more filled with awe and curiosity. He bravely asked, "Excuse me, seniors, why are we trapped here?"
When the nine real dragons mentioned being trapped, they all roared in response, and the chains on their bodies made crackling sounds.
"Let me ask you, how did you get here?" Kuilong asked slowly.
Lu Yuguan scratched his head and said, "I said I fell in through the coffin lid. Do you believe me?"
There was silence.
Lu Yuguan also expected this result.
Even he himself couldn't believe this outrageous method.
"Coffin lids..." Kui Long's voice was strong, bringing everyone back to their senses. "Could it be those coffins from back then?"
After hearing this, the other dragons lost their composure and began to speak.
"Impossible! Haven't they all been taken away?"
"I didn't expect... that I could come back."
"Damn Dragon Suppression Palace! I want to get out! Get out!"
"Calm down and see what else this kid has to say."
When Lu Yuguan saw several dragons quarreling, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Kuilong roared loudly, and only then did he subdue the other dragons.
"As expected of the big brother among the Nine Dragons, his prestige is truly great." Lu Yuguan said with emotion.
"If my guess is correct, you must have entered by mistake." Kuilong said slowly.
"That's right..."
Lu Yuguan found it difficult to explain, and always felt that his experience was really too stupid.
"What era is it now?" Kuilong asked.
"This...2030 in the Gregorian calendar?" Lu Yuguan said cautiously.
He only knew the calendar of the original world, but had no idea how the Longhua Kingdom used it.
Kui Long suddenly realized: "So it's the kid from Earth."
"Earth!?"
Lu Yuguan was stunned.
"What's the big deal? Am I wrong?" Kuilong sneered.
"Senior is not wrong, it's just that my situation is a little special." Lu Yuguan hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" Kui Long asked curiously, "We are quite free, why don't you tell us?"
"Is such that--"
Lu Yuguan was just about to open his mouth to tell about his time travel, but he didn't expect that he couldn't make any sound.
My mouth kept moving, but nothing came out.
Lu Yuguan became anxious.
"Senior, I just—"
"Boy...you've offended Heaven." Kui Long said slowly, "No need to say more. Since it is Heaven's arrangement, it must have its reasons."
What is the law of nature?
Lu Yuguan's mind was about to explode. Kuilong's words had just given him hope of going home, but for some reason he was automatically silenced.
"Everything has its cause and effect. Heaven has stepped in to stop it. It seems that you have to explore all of this on your own." Kuilong said slowly.
"I understand, senior." Lu Yuguan said depressedly.
Just as Kuilong was about to continue speaking, a dragon with wings next to him curiously came up to the floor.
"Boy, how come you have the aura of the deity?"
Lu Yuguan was stunned and said, "Impossible?"
"Yinglong, don't talk nonsense." Kuilong reminded in a deep voice.
"Kui, I'm not wrong. If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Yinglong said angrily.
Kuilong didn't believe it, but when he got closer to Lu Yuguan, he did feel a little familiar.
The other seven dragons also followed and found that what Yinglong said was indeed true.
"Boy, tell me the truth, when did you come into contact with me?" Yinglong asked.
"No," Lu Yuguan replied timidly, "I've only seen a few of you in books, and this is the first time I've seen you in person."
"That's really strange." Kuilong pondered.
"Could it be... the guy who wields the Xuanyuan Sword?" Yinglong asked hurriedly, as if suddenly remembering something. "Boy, have you ever seen a man wielding a sword? He seems... like the crown prince of some country?"
Lu Yuguan's heart skipped a beat, and incredible thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Could the person you are talking about be called Li Chonglin?" Lu Yuguan asked tentatively.
