Trapped Dragon Abyss.

It was Lu Chengfeng's first visit to this forbidden land of the sect, and as soon as he stepped inside, he felt every hair on his body stand on end. A looming sense of danger filled his heart, as if he might be devoured by some colossal creature at any moment.

From the base of the Inner Five Peaks, five thick iron chains stretched all the way to the depths of the Trapped Dragon Abyss, which was bottomless, so one could only slowly descend along the chains.

Lu Chengfeng moved forward with the Elder Withered Bamboo, and after a full two-hour period, the surroundings gradually filled with red clouds, faintly encircled by massive pillars emitting a brilliant light, resembling the Immortal Realm.

After descending for another two-hour period, they finally saw five massive iron chains converging at this point, suspending a glowing orb in mid-air, as radiant as the Great Sun.

With those five chains as a foundation, a wide, flat stone platform was constructed, with the orb surrounded by fiery light at its center. Around it were planted patches of Treasure Medicine, Treasure Trees, and strange flowers and herbs, all exuding a rich fragrance. The blend of vibrant clouds gathered into a mist, making the platform appear even more sacred.

On this stone platform was a bizarre figure with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, moving around like a wild beast using all four limbs, occasionally letting out roars like a dragon's or a tiger's growl, frantically tearing at the chains.

The chains on its body suddenly emitted five-colored rays, and with a light sweep, they left the figure battered and bleeding, rolling to the ground and struggling to rise.

Lu Chengfeng arrived at the platform with Elder Withered Bamboo, observing the scene from afar. Elder Withered Bamboo couldn't help but let out a sigh but said nothing.

After a long while, he turned to Lu Chengfeng, his face filled with melancholy, and said, "When you hold great power someday, grant him a swift end!"

Lu Chengfeng remained silent. The prestigious Sect Leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect had turned into such a deranged figure, neither human nor ghost, truly a tragic sight.

Though the Red Dragon played a part, it was also due to the internal power struggles within the sect, making one shudder at the thought.

He chose not to delve too deeply into the sect's internal conflicts at this moment, so he curiously asked, "Elder, where is the Red Dragon? Why have I not seen any trace of it?"

"Hahahaha!" Elder Withered Bamboo burst out laughing upon hearing this, "You think the Red Dragon is suppressed within this abyss?"

"Is it not?" Lu Chengfeng asked with some confusion.

Elder Withered Bamboo shook his head with a smile, "That Red Dragon is formidable enough to battle with the ancestor; how could a mere abyss contain it? Do you know what the Trapped Dragon Abyss truly is? It is the giant mouth of the Red Dragon!"

Lu Chengfeng froze for a moment, then felt a chill run down his spine, goosebumps rising as he stammered, "Are you saying we are currently inside the Red Dragon's mouth?"

"Exactly." Elder Withered Bamboo chuckled, "Below the Five Inner Peaks lies the Red Dragon's body, coiled and suppressed by the peaks, with its head central, its mouth forming the abyss."

"As for the One Hundred Eight Outer Peaks, they form the outer boundary of a Grand Array, sealing the void to prevent the Red Dragon from breaking free and soaring into the sky."

With a sigh, he continued, "Once the Red Dragon breaks free, the Five Peaks will collapse, the earth will shake, and the Yuncang Sword Sect would nearly face total destruction. Without any other options, we would never choose to do this."

Lu Chengfeng listened in utter shock. Although he had already imagined the Red Dragon as unimaginably massive, hearing about its body swirling around, larger than the Five Peaks, and its mouth forming an abyss, it still exceeded his wildest imagination!

Such a colossal being, how could any human power oppose it?

One wonders how the ancestor managed to subdue it back then.

Lu Chengfeng struggled to regain his composure for a long time, then glanced at the center of the stone platform and asked about the orb, "Elder, is that orb the legendary Dragon Pearl?"

"No!" Elder Withered Bamboo shook his head with a smile, "This is the Dragon-Binding Rope, the supreme treasure used to restrain the Red Dragon. As for the so-called Dragon Pearl, I have never seen it, and believe it is mere fiction, the imagination of the common folk."

"Oh?" Lu Chengfeng was surprised, growing more curious about the orb. It was about the size of a human head, perfectly round and surrounded by flames and red light, five iron chains woven across it.

"This orb is called the Hidden Dragon Pearl, at the core of the Dragon-Binding Rope. Using the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword to refine it, it takes only three days and nights to establish an initial connection with it," Elder Withered Bamboo explained. "However, this object is left by the Immortal Family; without reaching the level of Celestial Human, further refining is impossible."

"Once you establish an initial connection, you can use the Dragon-Binding Rope to awaken the Red Dragon and command it to eliminate external threats. Although it's not as precise as you'd like and might cause collateral damage, it's already a monumental creation compared to directly unleashing the Red Dragon."

He pointed to the surrounding treasure medicines, "Most precious resources left here have been relocated in advance. Once the Red Dragon emerges, this stone platform and its treasures will be destroyed."

"These remaining items would immediately wither upon removal, so they must stay here. You can extract their essence using Dragon-Binding Rope to enhance your cultivation, making the most use of them."

"As for him…"

Before Elder Withered Bamboo could continue, Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Let the Sect Leader remain here. I have just begun to master swordsmanship and still need honing. These few days, I can be companions with the Sect Leader and hone my martial arts."

Elder Withered Bamboo smiled at Lu Chengfeng's words. No matter what, the Sect Leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect had fallen to such a state, which was truly lamentable.
