"My dear friend Sun, this is the Fengyun Sword, which is made from the tail stings of three thousand ten-thousand-year-old hornets. If you stab someone with it, it will cause them extreme pain and death. Even ordinary immortals cannot resist it. It is extremely vicious..."
Unlike the original novel, the old Dragon King who took the initiative to invite Cheng Long to a banquet was unusually generous this time. The first thing he used was an acquired spiritual treasure. Although it was only of medium grade, the Fengyun Sword had its own poison needle damage, so ordinary immortals would feel unbearable pain if stabbed by it, and might even completely lose their combat capability.
This gives users an opportunity to take advantage.
Cheng Long was quite satisfied, but he did not make a choice immediately. Instead, he turned his attention to several other spiritual treasures.
"This is the Tiangang Sword..."
"This is the Taiyi Divine Needle..."
"This is……"
The old Dragon King introduced them one by one patiently. The weapons he ordered people to bring included mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures and low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, and even a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure among them.
However, this top-grade acquired spiritual treasure is a steel fork, which Cheng Long doesn’t like. The grades of other spiritual treasures are not very high, so he has not chosen a personal weapon.
The dragon clan owns the four seas, and their treasure house contains not only acquired spiritual treasures, but also quite a few innate spiritual treasures.
If you could go to the old Dragon King's treasure house and choose one, you would definitely be able to pick out a treasure that suits your needs.
“My friend, if you don’t like these weapons, there is another treasure behind the Dragon Palace. As long as you can lift it, you can take it. How about it?” The old Dragon King could actually take out better weapons and make friends with the gentle and talented person who was destined to obtain the scriptures. However, due to the advice of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he had to take some crudely made weapons.
Yes, these acquired spiritual treasures in front of him are all garbage in Ao Guang’s eyes. If the dragon clan had not lost its former glory, they would need to keep a low profile.
Not to mention the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, even their children can each hold an innate spiritual treasure.
However, the dragon clan nowadays does not even have a quasi-saint. Taking out so many innate spiritual treasures is no less than a three-year-old child holding a golden Buddha and walking on the street, showing off.
"If it's the stick at the back that's used to measure water levels and stabilize the sea, then forget it. I don't want to pull it out and cause a tsunami, affecting innocent lives." Cheng Long refused very straightforwardly. Although the Dinghai Shenzhen is very famous, its power is pitifully small. It would be better for him to ask the old Dragon King for some treasures and refine a weapon by himself.
Weapons tempered with the true fire of the sun, as long as the materials are of high quality, can start out as top-grade acquired spiritual treasures. If you spend more time and effort on it, it is not impossible to refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure.
"Uh... pulling out the magic iron will indeed cause a tsunami, but as long as we prepare in advance, it won't be a big deal." The old Dragon King said awkwardly.
"Forget it, I don't like sticks."
Cheng Long shook his head again.
This old guy is so evil that he actually instigated me to cause trouble. The Dinghai Shenzhen is left in the Dragon Palace. The sea waves are so strong. If I really pull it out, the coastal areas of Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanzhanbuzhou will be devastated by the tsunami. I can't do anything that will damage my merits.
I am a demon cultivator who focuses on cultivating merit!
"My friend, the Dinghai Shenzhen is a magical treasure that can kill people without any consequences. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Seeing that Cheng Long refused to listen and was only concerned about the people in the coastal areas, Ao Guang had to use his ultimate weapon to tempt the stubborn 'Sun Wukong'.
Killing people without any cause and effect?
I have to say, this sentence is indeed very tempting.
Cheng Long was moved.
Although he is not afraid of cause and effect, it will be of great benefit to his practice if he can reduce the impact of cause and effect on himself.
Qing Yi, who had been silent at the side, could not help but persuade him after hearing this: "Young Master, weapons that can kill people without any consequences are rare in the world. Would you like to consider it?"
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Cheng Long finally couldn't resist the temptation of the spiritual treasure of merit. Before, he only thought about its power and ability to suppress the sea, but ignored the fact that the Dinghai Shenzhen had been suppressing the sea for many years and had already transformed into a spiritual treasure of merit.
However, before taking away the Ruyi Jingu Bang, you have to find a replacement, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster.
The Dinghai Shenzhen is an ancient stick that shines with golden light. It extends from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea, stretching for thousands of miles.
When Cheng Long saw this stick, his first feeling was familiarity, as if this magic needle was a weapon born for him.
The first impression of the green-robed figure behind him is that it is majestic and sturdy, with the top stretching as far as the eye can see. It must be an extraordinary weapon.
"The Dinghai Shenzhen was originally an ordinary piece of sea-suppressing magic iron. Later, it was refined into an iron rod by Taishang Laojun and lent to Wang Dayu to dredge the water veins. Because of its merits in flood control, it was transformed into a mid-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure..."
The old Dragon King briefly introduced the origin of the golden hoop, then stepped forward and stroked the golden hoop, turning back and saying: "My friend, since the moment you stepped into the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, this Dinghaishenzhen has been shining with golden light. I think it is destined to be with you. Others cannot lift the Dinghaishenzhen, but you can definitely do it."
"No hurry, no hurry."
Cheng Long waved his hand and asked, "Old Dragon King, are there any other sea-suppressing objects in the Dragon Palace?"
"There is a magical crystal stone that has the effect of calming the sea. If you need it, I will order someone to fetch it for you." Ao Guang has been the Dragon King in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea since the dragon clan retreated to the four seas. He is best at playing both sides. Although Guanyin secretly instructed him to irritate Cheng Long as much as possible.
But from the moment he saw Cheng Long, he knew that the other party was not an angry person. Under his calm and kind appearance, he hid a cunning heart that was decisive and murderous.
and……
On the day Cheng Long set out on his journey, the grand spectacle of the flower blossoming to its fullest was seen by the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
Ao Guang didn't want to deliberately anger his neighbors in order to curry favor with Buddhism, and then go to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint.
Anyway, he only needs to give the Dinghai Shenzhen to Sun Wukong as instructed. As for how the other party takes it away, by verbal or physical means, that is up to the other party.
Not long after.
A colorful crystal divine stone was transformed into the original prototype by Prime Minister Turtle, who carried it over with great effort on his turtle shell which was a hundred feet high.
According to Cheng Long's visual observation, this crystal magic stone is three hundred feet high and more than two hundred feet wide. If it is refined into a stick-shaped Dinghai Magic Stone, it will be fully qualified to replace the Dinghai Magic Needle.
Just do it.
Cheng Long immediately used his magical power "Law of Heaven and Earth" to transform into a thousand-foot-tall giant. He took the crystal magic stone from Prime Minister Turtle's back with one hand, and spit out a ball of Samadhi True Fire from his mouth, which he began to melt on the spot.
Refining equipment requires experience and forging techniques, but imitating the Dinghai Shenzhen to refine a Dinghai Stone Pillar does not require too many techniques. As long as the fire is strong and the materials are strong enough, it can be imitated.
Look, it only took three hours for the hundreds of feet high crystal stone to be melted into a large ball of liquid by the Samadhi True Fire. Then, under Cheng Long's vast spiritual consciousness, it was shaped into a stone pillar that reached the sea surface.
On the stone pillars, there are carvings of dragons and phoenixes, mountains and water, and fairies dancing.
It has to be said that Cheng Long has quite good artistic talent. The Dinghai Magic Stone he refined in just three hours not only has an appearance and size that meet the standard of replacing the golden hoop, but also leaves a series of landscape paintings on the stone pillar.
"Old Dragon King, take your people and move away."
To prevent accidents, Cheng Long did not plan to keep anyone around when he replaced the golden hoop.
Ao Guang did not make things difficult for him. He waved his hand and sent away Prime Minister Turtle, Dragon Mother, Dragon Daughter and other onlookers, leaving all the space to his good neighbor Sun Wukong.
After Qingyi also retreated back to the Crystal Palace with the dragon girls.
Cheng Long suddenly released a powerful spiritual sense, repeatedly confirmed that there was no one hiding around, then walked up to the Ruyi Jingu Bang, grasped the cold stick with both hands, and pulled it out with all his strength.
"Boom~~"
The earth shook. The Dragon Mother, Dragon Daughter, and a group of small soldiers and crab generals who returned to the Crystal Palace were all unsteady on their feet and stumbled to the ground.
Fortunately, the shaking came and went quickly, and after just a few breaths, the seabed returned to calm.
When the Dragon King and the Dragon Mother led a group of people back to the place where the sea was suppressed, Cheng Long had already disappeared without a trace, along with the Ruyi Jingu Bang. The previously artistic Dinghai Stone Pillar had now been inserted into the spring of the East China Sea.
The rushing spring has turned back into the trickle it was before the Dinghai Shenzhen was taken away.
"My king, where is our good neighbor?"
The Dragon Mother looked around but didn't see Cheng Long. She couldn't help but look curiously at her husband who was hundreds of thousands of years older than her.
Ao Guang's original wife had died 100,000 years ago. This was his third wife, a blue dragon from the real fairyland, who gave birth to two daughters for him.
Today, these two little dragon girls have grown up, but their cultivation is not high. One is in the late stage of Earth Immortal, and the other is in the middle stage. They usually either play and fight or go to the South China Sea to visit their relatives. They have very little time for seclusion and cultivation.
Ao Guang did not see the slightest sense of urgency in his two little daughters, as the dragon clan was dependent on others and might be killed or robbed at any time.
And this is exactly what he wants to see most.
Only when the descendants are greedy for pleasure, the forces of heaven, Buddhism and so on will lower their guard against the dragon clan.
In fact, Ao Guang never thought about leading the dragon clan to make a comeback. He just wanted to maintain the status quo, obey the orders of the Jade Emperor, and bless all things.
"If my guess is correct, Sun Xiaoyou should be calming the tsunami at sea right now..."
The old Dragon King guessed correctly. Cheng Long was on the sea at that moment, eliminating the waves caused by pulling out the Ruyi Jingu Bang. It only took him less than ten seconds to pull out the Ruyi Jingu Bang and replace it with the Dinghai Stone Pillar.
But in just a few seconds, several tsunamis were triggered.
If Cheng Long leaves it alone and allows these tsunamis to continue, who knows how much harm will happen to the coastal people of Jambu Continent.
Because this wave... is heading towards Jambu Continent.
"Huh~~The waves have finally subsided!"
On the sea, Cheng Long looked at the calm sea surface, raised his head to look at the gloomy sky, and whispered: "If there is any more, it is none of my business."
……
"This little guy is quite smart!"
In the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva, dressed in white plain clothes, used her spiritual sense to observe what Cheng Long did, and a look of admiration appeared on her face.
She just wanted to help boost the tsunami caused by Cheng Long pulling out the Dinghaishenzhen, turning the small tsunamis into big tsunamis.
As a result, before he could put his plan into action, Cheng Long, who had taken the golden cudgel, teleported to the surface of the sea and cast a spell to calm the waves one after another.
His thinking is so meticulous that he doesn't look like a stone spirit born about fourteen or fifteen years old.
It is foreseeable that it will become increasingly difficult for her to direct the play Journey to the West well, but it is precisely because of this that Guanyin appreciates Cheng Long.
Because I haven't met an opponent for a long time.
This made her feel inexplicably excited.
"Master, the Great Emperor of the South Pole sent someone to send you a red carp. Do you want to put it in the lotus pond?" The little fox Huayue walked over from the direction of the lotus pond, carrying a bamboo basket.
"My fish was eaten, and even he knew about it?"
Guanyin twitched her lips.
It is true that good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. It was supposed to be just gossip within Buddhism, but now it has become known to everyone.
All the gods in heaven and on earth knew that the goldfish she had raised for tens of thousands of years was eaten by Cheng Long.
Over the past year or so, she could not count on ten fingers the number of immortals who had come to laugh at her under the pretext of delivering fish.
Among them, the most important is the Chan teaching.
The great immortal of the Chan sect loves to laugh at the jokes of those who judge the sect.
"Master~~"
"Just throw them into the pond and keep them!" After a pause, Guanyin continued, "Whenever you want to eat grilled fish, catch these fish and grill them. Remember to let me have some."
"Yes, Master."
The little fox carried the bamboo basket and skipped away.
On the other side, after calming down the waves, Cheng Long returned to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. Just as he was about to thank the old Dragon King Ao Guang, he saw the Dragon Mother coming in front of him, pointing at her little daughter and asking, "My dear Sun, what do you think of my little daughter?"
"Yes, it's cute."
Cheng Long replied subconsciously.
No matter which version of Journey to the West, there are always many beauties in it.
Ao Guang's daughter is tall and graceful with delicate features, and she is indeed lovable.
"In that case, how about I betroth my daughter to you?"
Mother Dragon looked at Cheng Long with a smile. The more she looked at this thoughtful and caring good neighbor from the East China Sea, the more she liked him.
He was upright in appearance and conduct, and he was polite in borrowing weapons, with no intention of taking advantage of force to rob others.
"Uh~~Mother Dragon, I have something else to do at home, so I won't chat much." Cheng Long has no interest in staying in the Dragon Palace as a son-in-law. The Dragon Girl is indeed pretty, but unfortunately she is not his type, and the same goes for the little fox Huayue.
He has always treated Huayue as his own sister.
The only ones who really interested him were Chang'e and the King of the Kingdom of Women.
Watching Cheng Long hurriedly leaving with Qing Yi, Mother Long was very annoyed. She turned back to look at her husband and said, "My king, what does he mean by this? Is our daughter ugly?"
"Madam, it's not that our daughter is ugly, it's that you were too anxious and scared her away."
Ao Guang replied with a smile, not caring at all about it.
Sun Wukong was a man chosen by Buddhism to seek Buddhist scriptures. How could he possibly stay in the Dragon Palace as a son-in-law? Even if they married their daughter off, they would not be able to live in peace for a few days.
Maybe it would even kill their little daughter.
It was only Cheng Long who did not agree, otherwise, the Dragon Mother who acted on her own would most likely be divorced by him.
This woman has no vision at all... (End of this chapter)
