Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 82 Morax in his youth, the Geo Archon who protects Liyue!

Ye Xuan took out a stone statue as tall as himself from his spatial ring. It was dark gray all over, and shimmered with a heavy luster in the sunlight.

He was a young man sitting on a divine throne, with a handsome and indifferent face, and an innate arrogance between his brows; he did not deliberately show off, and his legs were crossed, which made him look extremely casual, but he gave people a sense of oppression that was above all things.

It was as if nothing in the world mattered to him.

"Let's forget about Elder Zhong. From the fact that he didn't interfere with the beast tide last night, I understand that he is now Zhong Li: calm, reserved, and prioritizing the overall situation. Except for matters involving contracts, he doesn't interfere with the development of Great Xia."

"Even if I went to the capital to challenge him to a battle, given the Emperor's personality at that time, even if he agreed, he wouldn't go all out; in fact, there was a very high probability that he wouldn't even bother to fight."

"But you are different."

Ye Xuan looked at the stone statue in front of him, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Young Morax was an invincible and peerless figure.
He reigns supreme over Liyue, suppressing all wildernesses. A single rock spear can stabilize mountains and rivers, and his words are the law of heaven. With just a glance, he can make all living beings bow down.

Arrogance? Pride?
That's absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

After learning of "Elder Zhong's" existence, Ye Xuan thought about fighting him one day. However, Elder Zhong's choice after the spiritual energy tide made him realize that he was "Zhong Li" and not "Morax", which diminished his desire to fight him.

Zhongli is a god, but also a human; but Morax is different, he is a god! The god who protects Liyue!

Perhaps the Rock King Emperor was not at his peak at that time, but he was the true "God of War" at that time!
"Therefore, I choose—"

Ye Xuan affixed the rat talisman to the young emperor's stone statue. As the light shimmered, he whispered:

"You when you were young."

"Om-"

The power of the Rat Talisman completely entered the stone statue, and the entire Kunlun Mountains suddenly trembled violently; the mountains resonated, the rock element surged, and the entire mountain seemed to suddenly come alive.

The snow on the ridge began to roll down in a soft rustling sound, the exposed rock layers gleamed with a metallic sheen, and countless tiny pebbles defied gravity and floated up, forming strange circular arrays in the air.

The rock layers on the surface of the stone statue peeled away inch by inch, revealing its slender figure.

Morax opened his eyes.

"boom!!!"

In that instant, the gravity of the entire world seemed to be rewritten, and a terrifying pressure swept in all directions like a tsunami. All the rocks within a radius of a thousand meters were suspended in the air, collapsing and reforming in mid-air, like subjects paying homage to a king.

Ye Xuan also unleashed a tremendous aura, his royal sword intent soaring into the sky, forcefully cleaving a crack in the incoming pressure; the air between the two began to distort, and the ground cracked with spiderweb-like patterns under the double pressure.

At this moment of tension.

Morax's gaze suddenly passed over Ye Xuan and looked towards the distant void. He frowned slightly, revealing a rare hint of doubt.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan seemed to sense something and turned to look behind him.

"Old Zhong, now that you're here, why hide yourself?"

The space rippled like water as a figure slowly stepped out.

His dark gold robe fluttered in the mountain wind, with rock patterns faintly visible on the hem; his face, identical to Morax's, carried a completely different composure and vicissitude. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze lingering on Morax for a long time, but finally it fell on Ye Xuan.

"What kind of ability is this?"

Professor Zhong's voice remained steady, yet carried a hint of inquiry.

In fact, ever since the energy fluctuations of a fifth-tier powerhouse appeared in the Kunlun Mountains, he had been secretly monitoring this area. Even on nights when spiritual energy tides descended and mutated creatures ravaged the land, he never left this region.

Although the changes brought about by the spiritual energy tide were intense, the low-level mutated creatures were not enough to pose a threat to Great Xia. He believed that Great Xia could handle this crisis, so he did not intervene. Until Ye Xuan appeared.

He watched as the young man took the stone statue out of his spatial ring; the statue of Morax, the God of Rock, from the Seven Gods Statue.

What surprised him even more was what happened next.

Ye Xuan took out a strange stone with a rat pattern carved on it and gently pressed it against the stone statue. Instantly, light flowed, and the cold stone statue began to have a life force.

A living, breathing young Morax stood before him.

Zhong Lao's fingertips trembled slightly.

Even with his years of experience and his increasingly calm state of mind after constantly aligning with the template of the Rock King Emperor, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in this situation.

He had never seen such a miraculous power, which was beyond the scope of ordinary power and was almost a method of creation.

Therefore, the battle between the two fifth-tier powerhouses that occurred on Kunlun Mountain last time, besides Ye Xuan, probably also involved a being manifested by this talisman.

"It's just a celestial treasure with an upper limit."

"The Rat Talisman, one of the twelve talismans in the Jackie Chan Adventures world."

"If Professor Zhong is interested, he can learn more about this work after the event."

Elder Zhong's eyes flickered slightly as he fully absorbed Ye Xuan's words.

He didn't seem too surprised; rather, it was as if his expression confirmed some kind of guess.

Ye Xuan was not surprised by Elder Zhong's reaction. With the experience of this inheritor of the Rock King Emperor template, even if he had never seen the Rat Talisman, he could understand its essence with a little thought; even if he had to investigate it later, it would only be a matter of time.

Moreover, he never intended to hide it.

Although the power of the Rat Talisman was strong, it was already close to its limit for him.

but
Ye Xuan sighed inwardly. Elder Zhong had been hiding here all along, and he hadn't noticed at all; this ability to conceal one's presence was truly unfathomable.

Old Zhong did not continue to inquire about the rat talisman, but slowly turned his gaze to Morax, a rare and complex emotion appearing in his golden-brown eyes.

"Someone once raised a question."

"If your opponent were your former self, would you be confident of winning?"

Ye Xuan spoke calmly, turning slightly to the side, his gaze shifting between the two Rock Gods with a hint of interest.

"Mr. Zhong, facing Morax in his youth."

"Can you win?"

His battle can continue at any time, but a scene like Morax fighting Zhongli is not something that can be seen all the time.

Morax did not refuse. Although he had some guesses about the identity of this "Old Zhong," he felt that fighting was more direct than confirming his guess with words.

The rock spear materialized in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Elder Zhong:
"With the passage of time, your aura has changed so much."

Elder Zhong remained calm, his sleeves fluttering slightly, and an ancient, rustic rock spear appeared in his palm. He didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at Ye Xuan and said indifferently:

"Young friend, you've got a good plan."

Ye Xuan shrugged and smiled, taking a few steps back, adopting a spectator's stance:
"please."
