Chapter 106 - 102: Accidentally Entering the Buddha Bone Temple
Back in the room, as soon as Li Ping’an lay down and closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the image of the Dragon King of the Jing River wielding the Thunder Technique. That earth-shattering spectacle was truly magnificent and his heart was still tumultuous from the experience.
Li Ping’an pondered learning the Thunder Technique himself; if he couldn’t find Zixia in the next couple of days, he would return to the real world to search for Taoist scriptures about the Thunder Technique. As he was lost in thought, he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
However, the scene that occurred in the Fallen Dragon Pit was unknown to others, but atop the Ascension Tower within the Golden City of the Chang’an Imperial Palace—the mystical domain of Emperor Li Gai of the Great Tang—a pair of eyes had been silently watching everything that happened in the Fallen Dragon Pit. After a long while, they voiced a cry of alarm:
"The Destined One has arrived!"
The next morning, Li Ping’an woke up, freshened up, and began searching for Zixia in the vast Chang’an City. After seeking her around numerous streets of Chang’an for the whole morning, he still did not catch a glimpse of Zixia.
"Chang’an is big, but it shouldn’t be this hard to find Zixia!"
Exhausted and hungry, Li Ping’an looked at the bustling streets and couldn’t help complaining:
"Where on earth has Zixia disappeared to? She said she came to Chang’an for an important task, but never mentioned what it was. It’s got me running around like a headless fly. This is truly torturing me!"
"Move aside, you man in front! Make way quickly!"
