Chapter 138: The Prince of Qingshen Imperial City
Over the long years and endless lifespan, of course, such situations have happened many times.
Under the guise of becoming a disciple, in fact other innate gods wanted to invite him out of seclusion, and Yu Shen was tired of these fights.
As the god of rebirth, Jie Shen has great ambitions.
After a few discussions, Yu Shen finally made a decision. With a calm expression, he said slowly:
"Where you come from, just go back..."
"Hmm...oh?"
Yu Shen originally wanted to expel Taohou directly.
But he couldn't help but take another look at the creature and sighed slightly.
This Taotie is not a pure-blooded Taotie.
There are all kinds of strange species in the ancient world, and those that are not pure blood are generally looked down upon.
But that depends on the situation. For example, the offspring of Taotie and Hou, which has the advantages of both Taotie and Hou, is called - a heterogeneous species!
It is a species with more advantages than pure-bloods.
But this was not what surprised Yu Shen. What surprised him was the talent of creating a space of its own within Tao Hou's body.
"An explicit innate magical power, plus an implicit innate magical power?"
This Taotie was actually born with two innate magical powers.
Could it be related to that Yin-Yang Taoist?
"Come here."
Yu Shen stretched out his hand, the stars moved, and Taohou came in front of him involuntarily.
He felt that the earth and space around him were moving towards him on their own, which was very strange.
"I see."
Yu Shen suddenly realized that this Taohou was truly an alien species. There was an extra space in his stomach, which made him even more powerful than ordinary Taotie. His magical powers were even more astonishing.
The seemingly ordinary golden light defense is actually used to converge space.
It has been a long time since I have seen such a good seedling. The two magical powers complement each other. He really wants to collect this Taotie.
"What's your name?"
Yu Shen's tone became a little gentler, and he planned to make some things clear first.
"Reply to the Great God, my name is Taohou!"
Taohou's eyes were sincere: "Please accept me, great god."
"Yes, your name is concise and clear."
"So, Taohou, do you know that if I accept you, I will only accept you and will not help the people behind you?"
Taohou was shocked when he heard this!
Could it be that the other party knew what Zhu Jiuyin had instructed him to do? Is the Xiantian God so terrifying?
The name of Yushen is well-known. Does Zhu Jiuyin want to ask Xiantian God for help?
Others don’t have this possibility, but Zhu Jiuyin is different. With the God Taiping standing behind him, he is qualified to talk to the God Yu.
"I know!"
He nodded seriously, thinking that whether he swore an oath or not, this Yu Shen was not serious at all.
If it were Brother Zhu Jiuyin, he would have to take out his copper coins at this time.
So the gods were delighted:
"That's good to know. Your Taotie ancestor has some connection with me. I will teach you the Dharma lineage right now. Just wait and see."
Yu Shen waved his hand, and the stars moved. Chen Zhu didn't know all this, but Tao Hou actually had talent in this area and was noticed by Yu Shen.
In fact, if he had thought about it carefully, he would have discovered some tricks long ago.
When it came to the Chaos Phantom Demon, Taohou showed the magnanimity of a dragon by eating so much food without being affected.
Every time I say I’m full, but in fact I can always eat more.
"Good good."
Yu Shen smiled at Tao Hou and said, "Here are tens of millions of dragon balls, which are useless to me. You eat them first. They can make up for your lost essence."
…………
At this time, Chen Zhu was asking for information at the market while chatting in the group.
Patriarch Bodhi said: "The great catastrophe of Journey to the West is actually the catastrophe of the prosperity of Western religion. I want to spread the Dharma to the East. Zhuming, what do you think?"
Whenever a great catastrophe occurs, there will be a grand occasion, and this great catastrophe in Journey to the West is no exception.
After the great catastrophes in the past, all lives were lost and the situation was reversed, but now the four continents and the three realms are complete, and the power of the catastrophe is not as strong as before.
This journey to the West was more like a superficial attempt to gain merit.
Zhu Ming: "Is it not over yet? It's been so long."
He didn't pay much attention to this thing. After all, Patriarch Bodhi was still there, and with his identity, it was impossible for Junior Brother Wukong to be plotted against.
In his opinion, Sun Wukong's trip was more like gilding.
"It's not over yet. We've just reached the 60th difficulty."
Patriarch Bodhi said: "I have developed according to the normal trajectory and set up some of the 81 difficulties to strengthen them. Since it is a great tribulation, it must be tempered."
It turned out that the Grandmaster was the master behind the scenes. Chen Zhu observed a moment of silence for his fellow apprentice.
Others don't dare to plot against him, but he can't withstand the plotting of his own family. Brother Wukong is afraid that he will encounter great hardships.
At this time in the world of Journey to the West, the Xiniu Hezhou Continent was covered with yellow sand, and they had already reached the Flaming Mountain.
Looking at the blazing mountain in front of him, Sun Wukong fell silent.
I saw a huge mountain pressing down on the earth, red as hell, with a raging fire burning on the mountain day and night. This fire was no ordinary fire, but the terrifying black and red Nanming Lihuo...
"How can there be a Nanming Fire burning on the mountain? How can the furnace of Taishang Laojun be so powerful?"
Zhu Bajie's eyelids twitched wildly. He used to be the commander-in-chief of the Tianhe Navy, so he naturally knew the original appearance of the Flaming Mountain.
It was just the flame that fell from the alchemy furnace that was kicked over by the monkey, but now, who dared to go over with this Nanming Lihuo?
The Six Ding Divine Fire in the alchemy furnace is the fire of vitality, but this Nanming Li Fire... was destroyed by Chun Chun's tyranny!
That was the age of liches and wizards. The fire wielded by the southern sacred beast Vermillion Bird could turn all things into nothing. Even those with great magical powers could not last more than a moment before turning into ashes.
"I shouldn't have come here. I thought it was a good job, but it turned out to be a nightmare!"
Zhu Bajie muttered to himself and couldn't help looking at the monkey behind him.
This whole journey was just a solo show for the senior brother, and they were more like playing with him...
Sun Wukong was seen holding the black stick of life and death, his pair of pure golden eyes staring at the mountain, observing every detail.
"It turns out that the difficulty is to rescue the Bull Demon King and his family of three who are trapped on the Flame Mountain."
In his eyes, there was a cave on the Flaming Mountain, and inside the cave were the Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan and the Rakshasa.
Suffering from the torture of the Nanming Lihuo's body refining, he was miserable all day long.
He remembered that he had rescued a child in the Fire Cloud Cave in the Dry Pine Valley on the mountain before, and used the Samadhi True Fire to refine his body and completely absorbed the Samadhi True Fire.
That child is the Bull Demon King's child.
"Wukong, thank you for your hard work."
Tang Sanzang chanted "Amitabha" and his eyelids twitched.
Having been wreaking havoc in Heaven for such a long time, he must have cultivated for ten lifetimes and has some skills.
It can also help one break the confusion in the womb and understand the ten cycles of reincarnation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a long life and couldn't have walked towards the West step by step with Sun Wukong.
"This family of three is so unlucky that they were all trapped by the flames."
Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and chuckled: "Luckily you met me. I will control the Southern Ming Lihuo and rescue them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong manifested the Law of Heaven and Earth, and actually sat cross-legged in the Nanming Lihuo!
He was originally a spiritual stone monkey, formed from the essence and blood of the Sky-Repairing Stone and the Chaos Demon Ape. The more he was forged by fire, the more powerful he became.
First he went through the three disasters and five tribulations in heaven, and was tempered by thunder and fire.
Later, he condensed the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils from the Six Ding Divine Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Laozi.
From the test of the Holy Infant King's Samadhi True Fire to the current Nanming Li Fire, the stone monkey's body is gradually becoming crystal clear.
He ate the treasure given by Chen Zhu. He did not need to practice anymore. He only needed to fully absorb the sacredness in the treasure to achieve Daluo.
Now I use my body to feel the Nanming Li Fire and practice the way of fire.
Patriarch Bodhi also said to Chen Zhu: "I plan to expand the 81 difficulties to 108 difficulties, or 360 difficulties in the Zhoutian?"
I can take this opportunity to pass on to Wukong all the things that I didn't have time to teach later.
Chen Zhu was speechless: "Master, you are not going to the West to obtain the scriptures, you are going to fight to the Lingshan Mountain!"
If nothing unexpected happens, by the time Junior Brother Wukong reaches Lingshan, it will probably be time for Buddha Vairocana to abdicate.
He closed the chat group because a guest came.
"Hey, how much is this armor?"
This guest is not ordinary.
Chen Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him and behind him.
The dragon was bright yellow all over, with cloud patterns on it, and there was actually a Dragon King following behind it!
If he hadn't offered sacrifices to the gods, he really wouldn't have been able to detect the aura of the Dragon Emperor.
"This armor costs 100,000 dragon balls per set."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Look carefully, this is made of copper from Shoushan. Do you know what Shoushan is?"
"of course I know!"
Hearing this, Huang Long immediately became interested: "This mountain is incredible. First of all, it is the first level of the prehistoric world, the mountain that measures the heaven and the earth."
"Then there is the proof of immortality, very miraculous!"
"Isn't it amazing? Look at my armor made of mountain copper. This material is top-notch."
Chen Zhu lied without blinking an eye and raised prices a hundred times!
The yellow dragon frowned and spoke slowly and deeply:
"Do you think I, Long Gen, am easy to deceive?"
Chen Zhu's expression remained unchanged, as he had already trained himself to remain calm.
"What you said is true. How can we, who sell things, be cheating people?"
"How is this worth 100,000 Dragon Balls?"
Long Gen looked at the armor and weapons over and over again, pretending to find fault with them, and finally said with a pout:
"I think it's worth ninety-eight thousand at best."
Chen Zhu's heart suddenly dropped.
He thought he was a master, but it turned out to be a silver-plated spear head. He quickly closed the stall after the other party left, and then took out the copper coins to record.
"Long Gen, the youngest son of the Dragon Lord of the Huangyun Dragon Clan, is inexperienced, easy to cheat, and has a lot of money."
If you look closely at the copper plate, you will see not only Long Gen's information, but also information about many other geniuses, all of whom are the geniuses who are participating in the Cocoon Dragon Pool this time.
"Although Long Gen is not very experienced in the world, he has a Dragon Emperor following him, so the chances of killing him are not high."
Chen Zhu's face was gloomy: "Then don't kill him. It will bring trouble to you, but you can't underestimate him."
His innate supernatural powers are suspected to have reached the third level. Damn, are all the talents of this class so good?
He discovered that the talents of many geniuses had transformed twice, and that Teacher Long Yu was wrong.
If he hadn't been offering sacrifices to the gods, he would probably have been so arrogant that he thought he could secure a spot in the Cocoon Dragon Pool by relying on his body of true solar energy.
These beings are all sons of great clans, and their bloodlines and origins are extremely profound.
Plus the reason of countless kalpas?
These geniuses have inexhaustible resources since birth, and they have all the spiritual materials and precious medicines they want. This gap cannot be made up through hard work and cultivation.
"Damn it, if I had that many dragon balls, my talent could also transform to the third level!"
Chen Zhu was unhappy and felt it was unfair.
He worked hard to earn the Dragon Balls, and now others just take them.
Can't Grandpa Qing be more motivated and take down this imperial city?
He is just the Dragon Emperor. Who says the emperor’s grandson cannot bypass the crown prince and directly succeed to the throne?
His eyes flickered and he began to think.
The Cocoon Dragon Pool is about to open. No one can tell how many years it will take, but it will be over soon.
He had to get more dragon balls. Even if he couldn't, he had to find a way to gain some benefits for himself and see if he could get away with some shady dealings.
……
……
Coincidentally, Mr. Qing came back in the evening.
This old dragon cultivated the true energy of the sun, and his body became more and more terrifying. Just walking next to Old Qing made people feel terrified.
Chen Zhu noticed that Qing Lao's dragon claws were crushing several pieces of exposed Shoushan copper on the ground.
This was an unconscious move, and it is difficult to guess its current strength.
"Grandpa Qing, where have you been recently?"
Chen Zhu came over and asked, "Why haven't I seen you?"
The master of Jingzhe Mansion is never in the mansion all year round. He is really not doing his job properly!
"Haha, I went to see some old friends."
Old Qing smiled quietly, his face full of joy.
"Xiao Zhuming, you came just in time. Call your sister and go with grandpa to meet your great-grandfather later."
Great grandfather!
He is the emperor's son, and the word "Tai" explains everything.
There is only one prince in Qingshen Imperial City—Qingyuan!
Are we finally meeting that person?
Chen Zhu was a little excited. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was time to meet that person.
Young and old father.
"It's not easy to meet your great grandfather."
Qing Lao's face turned cold: "During this period of time, I challenged sixty-eight mansions alone to get this opportunity. Xiao Zhuming, you have to do your best. In the future, we don't have to look at Long's face."
There are some shocking things revealed in the old dragon's words. Taking on sixty-eight mansions alone, has Old Qing been busy during this period of time?
Chen Zhu went to call Qingying, and they walked towards the center of the imperial city together.
The closer to the center one gets, the fewer dragons there are, and one can see that the Dao patterns of the God of Space are everywhere all around.
The gates stand quietly, and inside is a vast and boundless small primitive world.
"Look over there."
At this moment, Elder Qing pointed to a gate not far away and said, "That mansion used to be the mansion of my younger brother. He was born very close to me."
Following the guidance, Chen Zhu looked over there, only to find that weeds had grown outside the mansion, and there didn't seem to be any signs of dragon activity.
"He's dead. Killed by our third brother."
There was no expression on Qing Lao's face: "Father didn't even pay attention. For him, we, the children who came later, basically have little impression."
This is too realistic.
Chen Zhu actually understood this situation.
Before the death of a living god, he only needs to cut off his own origin in order to give birth to offspring.
If more origin is cut off, it will be more important to the offspring. If less origin is cut off, it will be dispensable.
You just need to put the origin in a safe place, and the offspring will naturally appear. This also explains why the strong of all races are respected, because there is not much emotion at all.
Feelings come from being together, not from blood ties or status.
The center of the imperial city is the real core!
They saw a gray, ancient portal and stopped in front of it.
"This is it."
Chen Zhu saw that Qing Lao's steps were a little hesitant.
But he only hesitated for a moment. Then he held his head high, chest out, swam forward with big strides, and stepped in.
"Let's not talk too much later."
Qingying took Chen Zhu's hand and walked in. Suddenly, a special breath entered Chen Zhu's body.
With a "whoosh", this place turned out to be an unborn space!
What is the unborn space? It is the collision of the four elements of chaos, which have not yet taken on a concrete form.
Here... is the inside of a huge dragon ball!
Chen Zhu breathed greedily, wishing that the Fire God Dao would be fully activated. Two divine fires burned, helping him to continuously absorb the original Qi.
‰, ‰, ‰……
"Pay attention to your image."
Old Qing couldn't help but remind him, but Zhulong didn't listen at all. This kind of good place must be the legendary terrain, right?
It’s really a unique advantage!
"My father is here."
Qing Lao's next words forced Chen Zhu to restrain himself, but he still inhaled quietly.
There is no concept of space here, only the four chaotic elements. In the collision of elements ahead, a green dragon is slowly walking towards them.
It has a human body, a dragon face, and a half-transformed posture.
After half transformation, he took the Qingcang Divine Road.
When it is fully transformed, it becomes a true innate god!
But don't underestimate this half-transformed form. It is hard to say whether it is only a fine line away from the Azure Dragon Ancestor.
Ordinary innate gods are not as good as this half-transformed demigod.
As for practicing the Qingcang Divine Way, Qinglong Zu is undoubtedly a powerful great god. If this Prince Qingyuan can borrow most of his authority, he will be equivalent to an innate great god.
"Little Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
Qingyuan laughed and remembered what his Taoist partner had mentioned before. Only then did Chen Zhu realize that there was a little dragon following him.
Chen Zhu narrowed his eyes. The little dragon also had a dragon head and a human body, hiding behind him and watching them.
"Father, long time no see."
There was little expression on Qing Lao's face. He said quietly:
"Master Qing has lived up to your expectations and has become the ancestor of the immortal way. He has fought in sixty-eight mansions with the immortal way and has not lost a single battle."
"it is good!"
Prince Qingying smiled and said, "This is my son of Qingyuan, grandson of the Qingshen Emperor."
"I will improve the resources of Jingzhe Mansion for you, and inject the original Qi root into the mansion. I hope you will keep up the good work."
Qing Lao nodded. This was what he was fighting for.
As long as there is the original Qi root, there will be an endless supply of dragon balls born, and the strength of the Shoushan Qinglong clan will become stronger and stronger.
"These two children are the geniuses I have chosen. Father, can you take a look at them?"
Qing Laoqing introduced Chen Zhu and Qing Ying, saying:
"They are all good children blessed by Zulong."
Chen Zhu frowned, not understanding the meaning of this.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Prince Qingyuan's tone was perfunctory, and then he said nonchalantly:
"Give me one million dragon balls."
Chen Zhu’s frown immediately relaxed!
Great, it means a lot! No wonder Grandpa Qing wanted to bring them along, it turns out there is another benefit!
Chen Zhu's mind suddenly became active.
"Thank you, Grandfather, for the Dragon Ball!"
His expression changed 180 degrees, and he hurried over to thank him:
"Grandpa's divine path is eternal, Grandpa has no disasters, and Grandpa's wishes come true..."
Qingyuan was a little stunned by this series of flattery.
"You little dragon doll, are quite interesting."
Qing Yuan became interested, took two steps forward, looked at Chen Zhu and said with a smile: "Zhu Long? When did you join my Qing Long clan?"
He saw the blessing from the Ancestral Dragon, and also saw the aura of the Azure Dragon clan on Chen Zhu.
"Replying to Great Grandfather, it was a long time ago. I joined our Qinglong clan not long after I was born."
Chen Zhu said, and began to make up a story:
"Grandpa Qing often mentioned to us that he missed you very much and that he always stayed alone, looking at the moon at night."
"Oh?"
Qing Yuan was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because grandpa said that when he looks at the moon at night, he is looking at the same moon as you are. It is as if he is standing next to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Qing was about to speak up to refute, asking, when did he become so weak and delicate?
But Qingying discovered it in time and covered Qinglao's mouth.
My sister was a great helper, so Chen Zhu continued to make up stories...
