“Fellow Daoists, 1 have important matters to attend to in the mortal world, so 1 will take my leave now. When I have established my Dao Court, I will invite you all to a banquet at the Black Wind Mountain’s Taoist temple!”
Upon hearing this,
All the gods quickly saluted him, congratulating Daoist Xuanqing on his successful establishment of the Dao Court and promising to attend the banquet in the human world.
Thus,
All the matters concerning the Heavenly Court were settled.
Black Wind Mountain.
In the room of the Taoist temple.
Xuanqing was sitting cross-legged, pondering his next plans.
At this point,
He has already become a Secondary First-rank Daoist Immortal Official and successfully condensed the Fire Qi Chao Yuan power within the Five Elements Rule.
“So, next, 1 will continue my practice, condensing the last of the Five Elements Earth Primordial Energy, and then prepare to establish the Dao Court.”
“And there’s also… I have been in closed-door cultivation at the Douluo Palace for over a month, which translates to two and a half years in the real world. The accumulated incense offerings must be at least several hundred billion!” Xuanqing pondered in his heart.
Before he went into closed-door cultivation at Douluo Palace, his daily incense offerings in the real world had already reached more than twenty million.
With such a long time, based on the development of the Daoist temples in the real world, it is absolutely impossible to merely accumulate a hundred billion to advance to the Secondary First-rank.
Just as he was deep in thought,
Not far from Black Wind Mountain,
IVro giant dragons were soaring and flying, heading towards them. One of them was thousands of feet long, and the other was hundreds of feet long. Upon reaching the foot of Black Wind Mountain, the two dragons stopped and turned into an old man with white hair and beard wearing a dragon head and a slender woman with twin horns on her head.
“Sister, now that Immortal Xuanqing’s status is different from before, we should pay our respects by walking up the mountain!”
“Yes, 1’11 follow brother!”
The identities of the two dragons were the West Sea Dragon King Ao Run and his sister, the sister of the Jing River’s Dragon King.
They came to Black Wind Mountain to seek help from Xuanqing, the newly-prominent figure among the Three Realms, to save the Jing River’s Dragon King, who was in his tribulation.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple on the mountain,
What they saw was a short Earth Deity, repairing one side of the temple’s wall.
Huh?
West Sea Dragon King Ao Run was somewhat surprised. From the traces on the wall, it was apparent that someone had broken it.
With Daoist Xuanqing’s current power, how could anyone dare to destroy his temple?
“Ahem, greetings to the Earth God. 1 have come to pay my respects to Immortal Xuanqing, and I hope you can announce my arrival!”
As the saying goes, even a third-rank official would pay respect to the prime minister’s door, let alone the Earth God of someone else’s Taoist temple, so… Ao Run didn’t underestimate him but greeted him respectfully.
“Um…”
Just as the Earth God was about to say something,
Suddenly,
Xuanqing’s voice came from the Taoist temple.
“So it’s the West Sea Dragon King who has come. Please, come in!”
However,
Although his words sounded polite, he did not come out to greet them. With his current status being different from before, his actions naturally changed as well.
“Thank you, Immortal Xuanqing!”
West Sea Dragon King quickly saluted and thanked him before taking his sister into the Taoist temple.
In the room,
Xuanqing looked at the West Sea Dragon King and his sister with some confusion in his heart. His relationship with the West Sea Dragon King was limited to Ao Moang, so why would these two come to Black Wind Mountain?
“Hehe, 1 wonder what brings Dragon King Ao Run to my Black Wind Mountain.”
“Um…”
West Sea Dragon King and his sister exchanged glances, their expressions filled with sorrow. Then, they spoke:
“Reporting to Immortal Xuanqing, the reason I came here is to seek your help, mainly for my brother-in-law’s matter…”
Brother-in-law?
Xuanqing was slightly startled.
Then he realized that among the many brother-in-laws of West Sea Dragon King, the one who might be worth seeking his help would probably be none other than the Jing River’s Dragon King from the Tang Dynasty.
However,
According to the timeline, the pilgrimage team should have already set off, and the Jing River’s Dragon King should have been long gone.
It’s worth knowing that,
When he was cultivating at the Liusha River, he met the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, who was Tang Xuanzang’s predecessor, and it’s been several decades since then.
Beside them,
Dragon Girl had tears in her eyes.
Thump-
She knelt on the ground and sobbed while telling her story: “I beg you, Immortal Xuanqing, to save my poor husband!”
Seeing this scene,
Xuanqing slightly frowned.
He waved his right hand, sending a breeze to lift the Dragon Girl into the air.
Then,
He looked at the West Sea Dragon King and said solemnly: “I have always disliked beating around the bush. If the Jing River’s Dragon King is still alive, saving him would not be difficult for me.”
“But… What can you offer me?”
For Xuanqing, it didn’t matter how pitiful the Dragon Girl cried or whether she knelt on the ground. It would be meaningless unless the other party came up with something substantial, otherwise, he would not create trouble for himself without any reason.
“Huff-”
The West Sea Dragon King took a deep breath.
In fact,
Before coming to Black Wind Mountain, he had thought about this issue. There are no free lunches in the world, and the other party would not help him for nothing.
“Immortal Xuanqing, since ancient times, the dragon clan has declined, and although there are many treasures in the treasury, I’m afraid there are none that you would fancy.”
“So… The only thing 1 can offer is the Dragon Clan itself!”
The West Sea Dragon King’s eyes were deep, and a glimmer of divine light flashed in his pupils.
“On behalf of the West Sea Dragon Tribe, 1 am willing to let the tribe join your
Black Wind Country as the Water God..”
