Black Myth: Journey to the West: Simulate becoming an immortal!

Chapter 232: The Great Emperor Zhenwu, all the people in the world are doing it!
Chen Xi and Prince Mo'ang smiled at each other, then went inside and sat down to attend the banquet.

Miss Ji was also cordially invited by Prince Moang and did not behave in a rude manner at all.

As soon as they sat down, Miss Ji was attracted by the table full of delicious seafood and couldn't stop swallowing her saliva.

She hasn't had a good meal for a long time since she came to the mortal world.

On weekdays, we either eat small insects or wild vegetables, which are nothing compared to the delicacies from mountains and seas here.

"Since you two have come to Xiaolong's water palace, you are honored guests."

"Don't be so reserved and polite, just eat as much as you can."

As soon as Prince Moang finished speaking, Miss Chicken started to eat with relish without any hesitation.

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly, feeling that Miss Ji was becoming more and more like a toad.

"Holy monk, Xiaolong will drink three cups as punishment. Please forgive Xiaolong for being so rude just now."

Prince Mo'ang raised the wine cup, tilted his head back and drank three cups in a row, looking quite refreshed.

"What are you talking about, Prince? It was just a competition. Why do you need to accuse me of a crime?"

"How can I be such a petty person?"

Although Chen Xi called himself a poor monk, he had no aversion to drinking and eating meat.

He had already made sure that all the delicacies on the table were normal, so he had nothing to worry about.

At that moment, Chen Xi poured himself three cups of wine and drank just like Prince Mo'ang did.

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere became much more lively.

Each of them looked as if they had met each other too late, as if they wanted to become sworn brothers on the spot, not asking to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day.

Miss Ji watched this scene with great gusto, and even the fruits in her mouth became much sweeter.

Soon after three rounds of drinks...

Only then did Chen Xi put down his wine cup and start talking about business.

"I never thought that I would meet Prince Moang in the Black Water River."

"As far as I know, isn't Prince Moang the crown prince of the West Sea?"

"How did you end up here, running to the Black Water River to become a little dragon king?"

Chen Xi's words were full of curiosity, and he wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Prince Moang sighed and then looked bitter.

"The holy monk doesn't know something..."

"Xiaolong, don't you want to stay in the West Sea, rule the West Sea Dragon Clan, and be a crown prince?"

"But now... the four seas are dry, and Xiaolong has no home anymore."

When these words were spoken, both Chen Xi and Miss Ji were shocked!
What the hell?
Do all the work in the world?

Chen Xi looked puzzled and even thought he had heard it wrong.

If any river, even the four rivers, dried up, he would not be so surprised.

But if Sihai did it, it would be horrifying, even unimaginable!

What are the four seas?
That is the largest ocean in the world!

As the saying goes, there are four seas within the eight wildernesses, and there are nine provinces within the four seas.

The four continents are all within the four seas, from this we can see how vast the four seas are.

Even many of the gods' temples are located above the four seas.

Among them, the Nanhai Purple Bamboo Forest of Guanyin Bodhisattva is the most well-known.

If the four seas are dry, what will happen to these immortal temples?

Chen Xi couldn't imagine it and felt it was extremely absurd.

However, Prince Moang was obviously not joking.

"In the past, the world was in chaos, and demons and monsters arose in the world."

"There is no news from the gods and Buddhas, and strange phenomena are happening all over the world."

"For unknown reasons, a bottomless pit appeared in the four seas, named Guixu."

"Water from the four seas continuously flows back into it, and countless aquatic creatures are swept into the ruins, causing great suffering to all living things."

"Xiao Long was outside at the time, searching for the Nine-headed Insect, and luckily escaped."

"When Xiaolong returned to the Four Seas, he saw... the four seas were completely dry and there were countless corpses lying there. This was a horrifying sight."

When Prince Moang said this, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked quite disappointed.

He panted heavily, crushed the wine cup, turned his head and looked at Chen Xi intently.

"Could the holy monk possibly imagine the endless seabed filled with the remains of aquatic creatures and dragon bones?"

Prince Moang was very emotional and obviously not in a good state.

But this is normal. After all, in this world of demons and monsters, how can it be normal for someone to survive to this day and turn into a great demon?
Often, the more normal a guy looks on a daily basis, the craziest he is actually!
"The four seas are dry, and there are countless corpses..."

Chen Xi murmured to himself. Just reading this passage sent chills down one's spine.

What a spectacular, tragic and terrifying scene this would be!

He couldn't imagine it, and had no way of imagining it.

It would be strange if Prince Moang didn't go crazy after witnessing such a scene with his own eyes.

"call……"

"I'm sorry, Holy Monk. Xiaolong couldn't help himself and lost his composure..."

Prince Moang took a deep breath, and the expression on his face gradually returned to normal.

If it weren't for what just happened, probably no one would have thought that Prince Moang was the madman just now.

Miss Ji was so frightened that she shrank her head and dared not say a word. She was as silent as a cicada, like a quail, and even refused to eat the delicacies on the table. It is conceivable how terrifying Prince Moang was just now. Even Miss Ji, who had seen a lot, was frightened like this.

However, Chen Xi did not take it to heart. After all, he was much crazier than Prince Mo'ang before.

Even when he went crazy, he was afraid of himself!
In the whole world, only the Toad Spirit can tolerate his madness.

"It doesn't matter..."

"I am curious as to why Prince Moang chose to come to the Black Water River?"

Chen Xi tried to calm down for a while, and then continued to ask questions about the shocking news that Sihai Jingan was doing something stupid.

Prince Mo'ang was much more normal this time. He shook off the wine stains on his hands and spoke.

"After the four seas were dried up, Xiaolong was left without a home."

"Xiaolong's father and uncles also went to unknown places."

"Perhaps he died in Guixu. Just like the gods and Buddhas in the sky, he has lost all news and traces."

"The little dragon had nowhere to go, so he traveled around the four continents in search of the remaining dragons."

"By chance, I came to this Blackwater River."

"The Blackwater River was overflowing at that time, and there was great terror."

"After some investigation, Xiaolong discovered that the strange phenomenon here is actually related to the Great Emperor Zhenwu..."

When Prince Mo'ang said this, he paused, and then told Chen Xi the secret without reservation.

When Chen Xi first heard it, his expression remained unchanged, but as he listened more and more, his expression gradually became more solemn.

It turns out that just as the Lion Demon said, the Black Water River indeed hides the mysteries of creation left behind by the Great Emperor Zhenwu.

And the so-called mystery of creation has to start with the story of Emperor Zhenwu.

It is said that before the Great Emperor Zhenwu attained enlightenment, he was troubled day and night by his inability to fast and was unable to truly ascend to become an immortal.

If people want to become immortals or gods, they must first stop eating grains.

As the saying goes, those who eat meat are brave and fierce, those who eat grains are wise and clever, those who eat air are divine and long-lived, and those who do not eat are immortal and divine.

If people eat whole grains, feces will accumulate in their stomachs and intestines, producing foul air, which will hinder their attainment of immortality.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu was greatly troubled by this, so he pondered over and sought the method of fasting every day.

One day, the Great Emperor Zhenwu decided to stop eating grains and go on a hunger strike.

However, his stomach was very hungry and kept making noises, which made the Great Emperor Zhenwu very upset.

So, he cut open his own stomach and dug out his own intestines, flesh and blood with his own hands, and with his great determination to become an immortal, he succeeded in the fasting.

At this point, the Great Emperor Zhenwu ascended to heaven and became one of the immortals.

The intestines, blood and flesh that He dug out were soaked with the spiritual energy of immortality and became spiritual, transforming into the two generals, the tortoise and the snake, namely the Black Tortoise.

As for the Black Water River, it was actually the place where the Great Emperor Zhenwu had his abdomen opened and his intestines and stomach removed.

When he ascended to heaven, his intestines and stomach turned into turtles and snakes, and the remaining flesh and blood fell into this place.

The river water instantly turned into black water, and the Black Water River got its name from this.

However, nothing unusual has happened in the Blackwater River over the years.

Everyone thought that this was just a legend.

Even the little crocodile who occupied this place during the Journey to the West couldn't see anything special about it.

In this matter, there is only one person who knows the secret of creation left by Emperor Zhenwu, and it is not groundless, and this person is the river god of the Black Water River!
When the little crocodile came to the Black Water River in the past, it was not an attempt to forcibly occupy the water palace.

The little crocodile was ordered by the Dragon King of the West Sea to live in the Black Water River to cultivate his nature and wait until he becomes famous before being summoned.

The four sea dragon tribes have the right to rule over all the waters in the world. In other words, the little crocodile is the rightful master of the Black Water River.

The god of the Black Water River should have been transferred to another place, but because he was unwilling to give up the mysterious creation left by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, he forced his daughter to marry the little crocodile.

He announced to the public that it was the little crocodile that had taken possession of his daughter and robbed his water palace.

All of this is just for the so-called mystery of creation.

As for what happened next, there is no need to say more.

The river god of the Black Water River cleverly borrowed the power of the man of destiny to force the little crocodile to move away and regained the water palace.

Later, there was a great catastrophe between heaven and earth, and demons and monsters corrupted the world.

The flesh and blood left by the Great Emperor Zhenwu finally emerged from the water, emitting strange visions.

At that time, the Black Water River began to flood.

However, the god of the Black Water River did not consider how to govern it, but became extremely greedy and actually ate the flesh and blood of the Great Emperor Zhenwu!

Since then, the Blackwater River has become more and more terrifying. All the demons and monsters that pass by here have died tragically in the river.

It was not until Prince Moang passed by this place and learned the secret that he had a fierce battle with the river god of the Black Water River.

Perhaps it was because the Black Water River God had only eaten Zhenwu's flesh and blood not long ago, and had not yet formed a powerful force.

With just one move, the highly skilled Prince Mo'ang suppressed the Black Water River God under the Water Palace.

However, as time went by, the Black Water River God continued to integrate that piece of flesh and blood.

Until now, it has grown to a very terrifying level!

Prince Moang, who once could suppress the river god with one hand, now has to guard the water palace all the time to suppress the Black Water River God...

After listening to the story told by Prince Mo'ang, Chen Xi was filled with mixed emotions.

No wonder when the demon soldiers of Chechi Kingdom attacked the Black Water River, Prince Moang did not show up, but Chen Xi went into the water and fought with him...

Unexpectedly, the so-called mystery of creation turned out to be the flesh and blood of the Great Emperor Zhenwu.

I never expected that there was such a hidden story between the little crocodile and the Black Water River God.

"So, the original pilgrim who set out to seek the scriptures actually misunderstood the little crocodile?"
