Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 190, Refining Water Veins, Meeting of the Four
The Dragon King is not Lin Yuan in disguise.

But he had been affected by Lin Yuan's power.

Just listen to him say:

"It's not difficult to get this Dinghai Shenzhen, but it's not easy either."

"You must first know what this Dinghai Shenzhen is and what use it has in the East China Sea."

"Let me explain it to you in detail."

The Dragon King walked slowly, looking towards the deep seabed, with a look of nostalgia in his expression:

“This Dinghai Shenzhen was originally a treasure left by the ancient Yu the Great when he was controlling floods. It was called the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

At that time, floods were raging and people on earth were in dire straits. In order to measure the depth of rivers and seas and divert the torrents, Dayu held this magic needle.

It can grow or shrink at will, weighs up to 13,500 kilograms, and has immense power.

It was inserted into the East China Sea, calming the water veins of the four seas and keeping the waters peaceful. Since then, the four seas have been peaceful and the people have been free from floods.

The Dragon King looked at Wukong:

"If you take this magic needle, it will also have a certain impact on the four seas. Therefore, it is easy to obtain the Dinghai Magic Needle."

"You have to prove to me and the other four sea dragon kings that after you get this Dinghai Shenzhen, you can guard the water veins of the four seas."

Just as Wukong was about to speak, the Dragon King said:

"Don't tell me directly that you can definitely do it. That's too empty. I want concrete actions and objects as proof.

If you can directly find another object, or rely on your own strength to suppress the water veins of my East China Sea, I will temporarily agree to you. After that, you will need to prove it to the other four sea dragon kings.

I will also inform them.”

"Hozen, are you willing to accept my test?"

When Wukong heard this, his eyes rolled around.

Finally, he promised:

"Isn't it just to suppress the four sea water veins? This is a simple matter, and I, Old Sun, can definitely do it!"

The Dragon King smiled:
"Then go ahead. I'll wait for you in the East China Sea."

With a somersault, Wukong returned to Fangcun Mountain from the East China Sea.

Before Wukong even stepped into the room, Lin Yuan spoke:

"You monkey, are you here for the matter of the East China Sea?"

Wukong rushed into the house, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said anxiously:
"Master, you are really a master! The Dragon King of the East China Sea is trying to make things difficult for me, asking me to find something or calm the water veins with my own strength before I can take the Dinghai Shenzhen.

I have racked my brains and have no idea what to do. I hope Master can give me some pointers."

Lin Yuan stood up, walked to Wukong, patted his head gently, and said:
"You are still so impatient. Get up. Let me ask you, have you ever thought about why the Dinghai Shenzhen can calm the water veins?"

Wukong scratched his head and said with a puzzled look:
"My disciple only knows that it is a treasure that Dayu used to control floods. It can change size and has infinite power, but I have never thought about why it can suppress water veins."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly, turned and walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said slowly:
"This Dinghai Shenzhen is originally connected to the water veins of heaven and earth. Its power comes from nature and conforms to nature. If you want to calm the water veins, you must start with this natural way."

Wukong's eyes lit up, as if he had understood something, and he quickly asked:
“Master, do you mean to let me find a treasure that is connected to the power of nature?

Lin Yuan shook his head:

"No, it's better to rely on yourself than on others."

"Wukong, I taught you the Water-Moving Ability because I hope you can handle this kind of predicament.

This time, you don’t need to look for external objects everywhere, just use this magical power to refine the water veins of the East China Sea.”

Wukong looked confused, scratched his head and asked:
"Master, although I have learned the water-walking ability of the Yi Ma Realm for some time, I really don't understand how to use it to refine the water veins. I hope Master can explain it clearly."

Lin Yuan paced with his hands behind his back, looking serious:
“This water-walking magical power in the Yima Realm allows you to merge with water and sense its flow and changes.

After you return to the East China Sea, you dive into the deep sea, use your magical powers, and connect your consciousness with the water veins of the East China Sea.

To feel the power and temper of water is like talking to an old friend, getting familiar with every vein of it. "

“When you have a telepathic connection with the water veins, you can use your magical powers to mobilize the power in your body and absorb the East China Sea water veins into yourself.

This process is extremely dangerous. The power of the water veins is surging. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by it and your meridians will be severed."

Lin Yuan's eyes were fixed on Wukong.

But I believe in your ability, you must keep your mind steady and proceed step by step."

Wukong nodded:

"I see. Master, rest assured, I will live up to your teachings and try my best!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Lin Yuan warned again:

"Refining water veins is not a one-day job, so don't rush for success. If you encounter danger, come back immediately, and don't try to be brave."

Wukong agreed, turned around, and used his somersault cloud to fly towards the East China Sea.

Watching his disappearing figure, Tai Shang, the peeping Tom, appeared beside Lin Yuan again without him noticing.

The Supreme Way:
"The True Lord actually asked the stone monkey to refine the water veins? This is definitely a major event that will alarm the Heavenly Court.

It is the True Lord who made the Jade Emperor unhappy. Aren’t you afraid that the Jade Emperor will take advantage of this to make trouble?”

Lin Yuan said:
"I thought you would be the first to take advantage of this issue. After all, refining water veins privately violates the order of heaven that you set."

The Supreme Way:
"The present world is governed by the Jade Emperor, so I won't join in the fun."

He added:
"Besides, do you really think that the water veins are so easy to refine? After the monkey head merged with the monkey heart, it tapped a lot of the power accumulated in its body since the beginning of the world.

Although this has some strength, it may not be able to fully support the four water veins.

Moreover, this not only violates the order of heaven, but also touches the authority of Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi is in charge of the earth's veins, which also include the water veins. Dayu is one of his incarnations.

If the True Lord really wants to help the stone monkey refine the water veins, he will probably attract not only the power of Heaven, but also the power of the ancestor of the earthly immortals.

With Master Yi's current strength, he can probably only deal with one of them, right?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said:

“Although my strength is not at the peak, I don’t have to worry too much when facing the Jade Emperor and Zhen Yuanzi.”

The Supreme Way:
"You are really confident."

Arriving at the East China Sea, Wukong dived into the depths of the ocean without hesitation.

He was surrounded by light, like the brightest star in the night, emitting brilliant light in the dark seabed.

"The Dinghai Shenzhen, here I come, Old Sun!"

Wukong muttered to himself as he headed straight towards the direction he remembered.

Soon, he arrived at the place where the Dinghai Shenzhen was.

Then, he closed his eyes, held his breath, and used his water-moving ability in the Yima Realm to carefully sense the location of the water veins in the East China Sea.

He didn't know where the water veins of the East China Sea were.

But since the Dinghai Shenzhen is used to suppress water veins, we will definitely be able to find it through it.

"found it!"

Soon, Wukong showed a look of joy.

Then, his body was as fast as lightning and he swam quickly towards the direction he sensed.

When he rounded a huge reef, the scene before him shocked him so much that he was speechless.

A huge water vein emitting a faint blue light, like a sleeping dragon, winds and hovers on the seabed.

The tremendous power contained in the water veins makes the surrounding sea water crystal clear.

"My goodness, this is the water vein of the East China Sea!"

Wukong was surprised and delighted, "As long as I refine it, I will have a quarter of the Dinghai Shenzhen!"

He was so excited that he immediately used his magical powers to establish a connection with the water veins.

But as soon as he went deeper, the tremendous power of the East China Sea water veins came rushing in like a tidal wave, and the sea water, with enormous pressure, tried to crush him.

"Huh, is that all you can do?"

Wukong encouraged himself in his heart, remained calm, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and turned his consciousness into countless thin threads, which carefully spread towards the water veins.

The moment his consciousness touched the water vein, a powerful repulsive force came, as if the water vein was warning this uninvited guest.

"Hmph, there is something, but it can't faze me, Old Sun!"

Wukong gritted his teeth and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He tried hard to circulate the spiritual energy in his body and coordinate it with the water veins.

This method seems to be really effective, and the rejection of water veins gradually decreases.

"There's a show!"

Wukong was delighted.

So he increased the power of his magical powers, slowly interweaving his own strength with the power of water veins.

But just when he thought everything was going well, a violent force suddenly surged in the water veins, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, instantly scattering his consciousness.

"what happened?"

Wukong was horrified and before he could react, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his body drifted uncontrollably towards the sea.

"No, I can't just give up like this!"

Even so, the determination in his eyes did not diminish at all. After taking a breath, he encouraged himself in his heart:

"I, Old Sun, have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Can a mere water vein stop me?"

Sink to the bottom of the sea again and re-establish connection with the water veins.

This time, he learned from the last lesson and warned himself secretly:

"Don't be impatient anymore. You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient."

No longer rushing for success, but patiently feeling every rhythm of the water veins, slowly guiding his own strength to merge with it.

Wukong put all his effort into refining the water veins in the depths of the East China Sea. His body became the center of a huge vortex, and the energy around him blended and collided wildly with the power of the water veins.

The powerful force fluctuations caused the waters of the East China Sea to begin to churn violently. The calm sea surface suddenly became turbulent with huge waves, as if the end of the world had come.

The reefs on the seabed were shattered by this force, and countless fish, shrimps and crabs were dizzy and fled in all directions due to the strong impact of the water current.

Lin Yuan, who was far away in Fangcun Mountain, had already expected this.

He took a step forward and instantly appeared in the East China Sea.

I saw strange fluctuations all over his body, and a soft yet powerful light emanated from his body. This light was like an invisible net, covering Wukong and the water veins.

This is exactly the power of the true source of Xuanming that Lin Yuan possesses.

Ever since he obtained the power to control water from the Zhaohui Lingxian King Template, he rarely used it.

Under this force, the violent energy fluctuations gradually subsided and the sea water slowly returned to calm.

However, such a powerful fluctuation of power still alarmed the gods in heaven.

The Thousand-Li Eyes and the Wind-Hearing Ears on duty noticed the abnormality immediately. They did not dare to delay and hurried to the Lingxiao Palace to report to the Jade Emperor:
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Powerful energy fluctuations have appeared in the East China Sea. It seems that an extraordinary person is refining the water veins, causing the East China Sea to turn upside down!"

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he just nodded calmly and said:
"I understand, please step back."

The two men looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion, but they could only obey the order and retreat.

After they left, the Jade Emperor slowly stood up, with an imperceptible complex look in his eyes.

He took a step forward, his body shining with golden light, and instantly arrived above the East China Sea.

At this time, Lin Yuan was standing on the sea, looking at the seabed with a serious expression, as if he was still paying attention to Wukong's situation.

The Jade Emperor looked at Lin Yuan and said:

"Erlang, your actions this time are a bit out of line."

At almost the same time, Zhen Yuanzi also felt something in Wuzhuang Temple.

He frowned and counted with his fingers, but found that everything in front of him was chaotic and he couldn't calculate anything.

"Weird!"

Zhen Yuanzi was shocked, because the matter of water veins was related to the earth veins.

As the ancestor of earth immortals, he is in charge of the earth veins, but now he is disturbed by a mysterious force and cannot get a glimpse of the secrets.

He did not dare to be careless and decided to go to the East China Sea to find out in person.

Zhen Yuanzi used his magical powers and instantly arrived at the East China Sea.

As soon as he appeared, he saw Lin Yuan and the Jade Emperor standing opposite each other.

Meanwhile, Tai Shang had arrived at some point.

Zhen Yuanzi bowed slightly and said:

"It's been a long time since we last met. We are reunited here today. It seems that the matter in the East China Sea is more complicated than I thought."

The Jade Emperor looked at Zhen Yuanzi, then at Lin Yuan, and snorted coldly:
"Master Erlang, what exactly is your intention in allowing that stone monkey to refine the water veins? This water vein concerns the order of heaven and earth, how can we allow him to do whatever he wants!"

Lin Yuan responded calmly:

"Your Majesty, what I did was to train Wukong."

Tai Shang was stroking his beard, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

Zhen Yuanzi stood quietly by the side, looking back and forth between the three people, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, the entire East China Sea shook again.

The sea water, which had been temporarily calmed by Lin Yuan, began to surge wildly again, but this time, there was a strange rhythm in the surge, as if it was celebrating something.

Deep under the sea, Wukong's body was completely enveloped by the faint blue light of the water veins. The light was like a layer of tough armor, yet it flowed flexibly. Every flash was accompanied by the surging ups and downs of the power in his body.

At this moment, his consciousness was deeply integrated with the water veins. He was no longer in the state of being rejected as before, but it was like finding a long-lost partner, and they were in harmony with each other.

The power of the water veins was like a flood that broke through a dam, continuously pouring into Wukong's body, but this time, Wukong was not afraid at all.

With his strong will and keen control over strength, he guided this mighty force to flow in an orderly manner through his meridians.

Each meridian is like a rushing river, nourished by the power of water, becoming tougher and wider.

Wukong could clearly feel that he had established a wonderful connection with every drop of water in the East China Sea. He could hear the whispers of the fish, sense the vicissitudes of the reefs on the seabed, and even touch the ancient secrets hidden in the deep sea.

When the last trace of water vein power was completely integrated into his body, he felt as if he had become a part of the East China Sea, with endless power.

"I, Old Sun, finally succeeded!"

With a hearty cheer, Wukong jumped out from the bottom of the sea like a cannonball.

The light of the water veins around him illuminated the entire sea surface, and the water droplets scattered like dazzling pearls under the reflection of the light.

However, the next moment.

He saw his master and several people of extraordinary bearing standing there.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

"Master? Why are you here? And who are they?"

He scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face.

Then he realized that the atmosphere around him seemed a little solemn.

He looked at the gloomy face of the Jade Emperor, then looked at Zhen Yuanzi's thoughtful look, and Tai Shang's half-smiley expression, shrank his neck, and whispered:

"Uh, what's going on?"
