Chapter 275: The Dragon King's Grand Movement, Three Months of Training
East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Ning Xunqiu's soul returned to the real dragon body of the Dinghai Divine Soldier.

Ao Run, Shen Gongbao, Ao Bing, and Nezha landed on the rock platform nearby.
Nezha's magic power operated on its own, forming a faint red halo around his body, isolating the surrounding sea water from the outside, and his body did not feel any discomfort at all.

Ao Run was slightly shocked when he saw this scene. The Lingzhu Magic Pill was originally a Hunyuan Pearl, a spiritual object of heaven and earth. If it were to take on a human form, it would be "innately sacred".

Although he was split in two and reincarnated, his magical power still far exceeded that of a veteran Golden Immortal like her. He had reached this level at the age of three, so one could imagine his potential in the future. It was a pity that his body was destroyed, and he could only reach the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Nezha looked around and frowned slightly.

The scene before him was completely different from the splendid and magnificent scene rumored by the outside world. This was not a magnificent palace, but a deep and dark underwater purgatory.

Hot bubbles emerged from the magma from time to time, making a "gurgling" sound, and a strong smell of sulfur filled the seabed.

Real dragons were perched on the huge pillars, biting a chain, the other end of the chain extending deep into the roiling magma below.

Occasionally, a few huge black shadows swam through the magma. They were the deep-sea monsters imprisoned there. Their eyes flashed red like lanterns, which was creepy.

Nezha couldn't help but complain: "Ao Bing, your house is really dark."

"Besides, why is this place completely different from the legendary Dragon Palace?"

Ao Bing had a complicated expression and explained in a low voice: "This is indeed the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and it is also the Undersea Purgatory. Father is here to guard and suppress those...big monsters that are causing trouble in the world."

To be called a great demon, one must at least be at the "Golden Immortal" realm. Great demons of this strength are no longer under the jurisdiction of the dragon clan. In fact, the underwater purgatory is under the command of the dragon clan.

At this moment, a deep laugh suddenly came from the depths of the underwater purgatory:

"Hehehe, big brother actually brought back a human child from Chentangguan. With this amazing demonic aura, I guess it must be the demon pill Nezha, right?"

Before he finished his words, a real dragon trapped in thick chains suddenly rushed out from the lava. He stared at Nezha with a hideous smile on his face.

It was Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea.

Nezha was startled by the sudden sound and took a step back subconsciously, but he quickly straightened his back and asked with wide eyes: "You are also a real dragon, why are you locked up down there?"

Ao Shun swam to Nezha, his dragon body slightly coiled, and the chain made a "clattering" sound. He grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and jokingly said, "Guess?"

"Stop teasing him." Ao Run stood on the rock platform with his arms folded across his chest.

Ao Shun followed the sound and glanced at Ao Run who was standing on the rock platform in human form. He saw that Ao Run was moving freely, without any demon-suppressing chains on his body.

"Where are your chains?"

His pupils suddenly contracted.

The chains on their bodies were formed from the magic power of the Dinghai Divine Soldiers and the eldest brother, and were specifically used to suppress millions of demons. Even the "Golden Immortals" could not leave their bodies, let alone the "Sky-Splitting Claws".

Unless Ao Run breaks through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal! But Ao Run has only been out for a while! If it is so easy to break through, the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun occupying the spiritual veins of heaven and earth would not have only reached the "Golden Immortal" realm until now.

Ao Shun suddenly raised his head and looked at his elder brother who was sitting on the Dinghai Divine Soldiers. "Brother, how dare you release Ao Run without permission! Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Jade Emperor?!"

The dragon clan is no longer the "rulers of the four seas" of the past.

Since submitting to the Heavenly Court, the status of the dragon clan has plummeted.

Jade Emperor in heaven, Human King on earth, Dragon King in the sea.

Although their status are equal in name, in reality, the status of "Lord of the Four Seas" has been divided into "Four Dragon Kings", which has long been inferior to the other two.

If the Jade Emperor knew that his eldest brother had released Ao Run secretly, the dragon clan would face a catastrophe!
Ao Shun's dragon body trembled slightly, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. Even if the entire sea creatures of the four seas joined forces, they could not shake the magic weapon "Sea Ding Shen Bing" thrown away by the "great master" of heaven.

The thousand years in prison had made him see the cruelty of reality.

Thinking back to the anti-Heaven events of the past, he finally realized how ignorant and arrogant he was at that time.

No wonder no old minister of the Dragon Palace was willing to help the Three Sea Dragon Kings rebel against the Heavenly Court. Those old ministers had seen through everything and knew that the dragon race was nothing more than an ant in front of the Heavenly Court, and that resistance would only lead to their own destruction.

Jade Emperor...

The magnificent figure flashed across Ning Xunqiu's mind.

That "Jade Emperor" is a person with unfathomable great supernatural powers. Most of the people with great supernatural powers in this world live in seclusion, and only the Jade Emperor is one of the very few who appears in the world and dares to confront the saints.

His origins are a mystery, and no one knows where he came from. However, his Taoism far exceeds 99% of the innate gods and great supernatural powers. He is the only one who dared to experience billions of calamities in the human world, accumulated immeasurable magic power, and finally proved the existence of the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor stands high in the sky, towering over all living beings. His power is probably second only to the Six Saints, and he can be regarded as the pinnacle of this world.

Why do people only know about the Six Saints' Daoism and regard it as a prominent school of thought, whether it is humans, ghosts, demons, gods, or immortals? But other great masters of supernatural powers are unknown? They can only stay in their own temples and meditate. Don't they want to?

No, they can't.

Although Ning Xunqiu did not know the specific details of the ancient battle, he was certain that the "Six Saints" were definitely the final winners in that battle.

Their teachings spread throughout the world and became an unshakable mainstream school of thought, while other people with great supernatural powers were forced to retreat or even disappear.

"Brother, let's take a long-term view."

Upon hearing this, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, immediately spoke.

What slogans like "all spirits are equal" and "joining together to fight against heaven and saints" are enough to be shouted in private. If they really jump out to put it into practice, the dragon clan will be the first to die!

As long as the Heavenly Court does not exterminate the dragon clan and leaves dozens of real dragons in captivity, Nuwa will never blame the Jade Emperor.

Ao Run saw that Ning Xunqiu was unmoved, and a deep worry appeared on his face:

"If we three sea dragon kings are to be released, it must be the Chan Sect, Jie Sect, the Human King, and other powerful forces that can confront the Heavenly Court head-on. Only in this way can someone withstand the pressure of offending the Jade Emperor.

"Brother, you have just broken through after all, and there is more than one great master in the heavens. The Dragon Clan now has a nephew with Nezha's potential, so we can't make the same mistake again."

"It's better than..."

Ao Run looked at Ao Shun and Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, who had just swam out of purgatory.

"I will take them to join Jiejiao and let the Jiejiao immortals help us out. Later, during the Conferred God Tribulation, I can secretly sow discord between the two sides and weaken the power of the Heavenly Court and the Saints' Sect. Then our dragon clan will take advantage of the situation and rise up... Big brother, what do you think of my plan?"

If the three Dragon Kings, who possess the combat power of Golden Immortals, can let go of their arrogance and, with the assistance of millions of sea monsters, join either the Orthodox or the Unorthodox sects, they will be able to influence the outcome of the Conferred Gods Tribulation.

No matter which side they choose, they will gladly accept their surrender.

"This is a very clever plan."

Ning Xunqiu praised him, then shook his head gently, "But I don't need it." Ao Run was shocked and said quickly, "Brother, you have endured until now and broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm. But how can your strength compare to that of the Dragon Clan ancestors?"

"Brother is actually a Daluo Jinxian?!"

Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, was shocked when he heard this.

"Daluo Jinxian?!"

Ao Shun's dragon claws unconsciously grasped the rocks on the seabed, his fingertips deeply embedded in the cracks of the rocks. He cast his eyes on his calm elder brother again, and murmured in a low voice:

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Aren't you really afraid that the dragon race will be destroyed because of this?"

"Conspiracies and tricks will never come to light."

Ning Xunqiu's eyes swept over Ao Shun, Ao Run and Ao Qin:
"Have you ever seen a winner who relied on conspiracy to achieve the final victory? Mortals have said that building high walls and storing abundant food will slowly lead to becoming king. With the support of the people and a million-strong army, you will be unstoppable and this is the real way to win."

"The same is true for what I do," he continued, his voice gradually rising.
"Spread the Dharma widely, teach sentient beings, and follow the righteous path. Monsters are not monsters, humans are not humans, and all sentient beings are equal. The real strategy is to accumulate the 'great trend of heaven and earth' to determine the fate of the world. Therefore, I must stand on the stage and tell all sentient beings what I am doing, why I am doing it, and what the future of the world will become. Only in this way can the 'great trend of heaven and earth' be formed."

“Otherwise, if the dragon clan fails like they did last time and dies in some corner where no one cares, no one will care about what they have done. As time goes by, the dragon clan will even become a ‘man-eating evil monster’ in the eyes of the people!”

Ning Xunqiu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Sanlong's heart hard.

"As long as you spread the 'Way of the Blue Sky', it will continue to thrive and be passed down forever. Because the truth exists in people's hearts, it cannot be killed. Saints dare not destroy the world and kill all living things in heaven and earth, so they cannot cut off people's wishes!"

Ning Xunqiu transformed into a human form, landed on the platform, and looked at Shen Gongbao, Nezha, and Ao Bing.

"Master, Bing'er, Nezha, the three of you will travel the world and walk on my behalf, to move the mountains in people's hearts and to show them what the blue sky is."

These three people each bear the prejudice of the world, but because of this, they can better understand what an upright person is.

Shen Gongbao is a fairy and a demon, Nezha is a man and a demon, and Ao Bing is a spirit and a dragon. They cover the identities of most creatures in the world and are the perfect candidates to spread the way of the blue sky.

Shen Gongbao was excited, "No...no...no..."

Ning Xunqiu knew that his friend had an old habit of stuttering when he was excited, so he shook his head helplessly and waited for him to finish speaking slowly.

Shen Gongbao took a deep breath and said, "If I don't succeed, I will die!"

Ao Bing cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, father. I will live up to your trust and will never let you down."

"Okay, you guys practice in Dragon Palace for a few days, then set off."

Ning Xunqiu nodded slightly, turned to look at the dilapidated East China Sea Dragon Palace, frowned, and waved gently.

hum!
An invisible force spread out instantly.

The ruins of the underwater Dragon Palace, which were originally in ruins, changed drastically in the blink of an eye.

The rubble in the ruins quickly reassembled, the broken beams and pillars stood up again, and the broken walls were restored to their original state. In the blink of an eye, a magnificent palace rose from the ground.

The palace is surrounded by corals, pearls, and swimming fish, as if a fairyland has descended upon the seabed.

Shen Gongbao, Nezha and Ao Bing stood in front of the newly renovated Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, their eyes filled with shock.

……

Time flies and it’s already March.

East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Ning Xunqiu opened the Tianyan Book and looked at the text status of Shen Gongbao, Nezha, Ao Bing and his group.

【Taiyi Zhenren returned to the Chan Sect, Yuxu Palace. At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun and the other six saints were in seclusion in the outer heaven to refine the "Investiture of the Gods". The Chan Sect was replaced by the eldest brother Wuliang Xianweng as the head of the Chan Sect. When he heard that you had broken through to the "Daluo Jinxian", he was horrified and hurriedly recalled the Chan Sect's Jinxian who was traveling all over the world to spread the Dharma and slay demons.】

【Discuss countermeasures.】

[You are already a person with great supernatural powers. After hearing this, more than half of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect no longer want to be enemies with your Dragon Clan. Instead, through the oral statement of "Taiyi Zhenren", they believe that you may be able to be won over. Under the Way of Heaven, all living things are equal, which coincides with the teachings of the Chan Sect.]

[Although Wuliang Xianweng was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up and sent Taiyi Zhenren to Chentang Pass to negotiate with you. However, Taiyi Zhenren had a shadow in his heart about you and was drinking and procrastinating in the general's mansion at Chentang Pass.]

[Shen Gongbao, Nezha and Ao Bing practiced in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea for a month, listening to you talk about the "Blue Sky" Avenue. Nezha and Ao Bing's physical foundations were unstable, and during one of their practices, their physical bodies were almost broken. You used the Daluo Jinxian magic power to stabilize their physical bodies in time.]

[But your son Ao Bing's "lotus root" body has collapsed twice, and it can only last for three months at most, and it will definitely "rot". Nezha forcibly broke through the seven-colored treasure lotus, and his body is not hot enough. Once the magic power of the magic pill surges, it may collapse. ]

[You investigate the two people's primordial spirits and discover that the "Hunyuan Pearl" was born from the heaven and earth. The primordial spirit is indestructible and is constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The "lotus root body" is simply unable to bear such a great power.]

[You realize that even if their bodies are not destroyed by the "Heavenly Tribulation Curse", they will be blown up by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.]

[The magic pill absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its magic power keeps increasing. After reaching a certain limit, Nezha's human body and Ao Bing's dragon body will still explode. This process will not exceed three years.]

[Your luck in this world is not enough to create a perfect body to accommodate the "Hunyuan Pearl".]

[Shen Gongbao proposed a feasible suggestion, which is to use the seven-colored precious lotus to reshape the body again, so that the "lotus root body" can last for another three years, during which time they can find a way to solve the hidden dangers of the "Hunyuan Pearl". ]

[At this time, Madam Yin happened to blow the conch shell at the seaside, and Ao Run used his innate magical power "Sky-Splitting Claw" to send Shen Gongbao and the other two back to Chentang Pass. The seven-colored lotus had already exhausted its immortal energy and withered, and could no longer reshape their bodies.]

【Taiyi Zhenren is in the mansion at this time, and he said that there is a treasure in the Yuxu Treasury that can make the seven-colored lotus bloom again.】

[On the first day, Nezha, Ao Bing, Taiyi Zhenren, and Shen Gongbao went to Yuxu Palace together to meet the eldest brother of the Chan Sect, "Wulian Xianweng", to ask for treasures.]

[After arriving at Yuxu Palace, Wuliang Xianweng personally came out to greet them and led them into the palace. He glanced at Ao Bing, the incarnation of the Spirit Pearl, and Nezha, the reincarnation of the Demon Pill. A barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and he readily agreed to bestow the treasures, but put forward a condition: Nezha and Ao Bing must pass the test of Yuxu Palace and subdue the three earthly immortal-level demon kings who were causing chaos in the human world.]

[Only after completing this task can you enter the Yuxu Treasure House and choose any treasure. ]

[Wuliang Immortal left his two junior brothers Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao as guests at Yuxu Palace, and sent his eldest disciple Lu Tong to accompany Nezha and Ao Bing to the human world to catch monsters.]

[On the third day, Lu Tong brought Nezha and Ao Bing to a desolate loess plateau. He pointed at a fat demon king in the distance and said in a serious tone: "There is a group of demons entrenched here. They often come down the mountain to harm the people. Their crimes are extremely heinous! Today, you two will subdue them and eliminate this harm for the people."]

[Nezha and Ao Bing looked at each other, and although they were a little confused, they didn't say much. The two of them joined forces and easily subdued the demon king group with their powerful strength. Soon, they realized that something was wrong. ]

[Ao Bing found this place too desolate. The nearest city of the human race is three hundred miles away from here? What a concept. Ordinary people will never go ten miles away from their hometown in their lifetime.]

[Nezha's eyes fell on the subdued fat demon king. He looked at him carefully and found that this so-called "earth-level demon king" was weak and could not even fly. Its racial talent was ridiculously poor. Any slightly stronger beast in the nearby mountains could easily defeat it.]

[Nezha and Ao Bing asked their senior brother Lu Tong what they had done wrong and why they were being arrested? ]
