Chapter 422 The Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas
Beside the Black Dragon Pool stands a Dragon King Temple. Walking into the temple from the roadside, one sees incense burners filled with incense sticks and offerings laid out on the altar. The temple is spotless and impeccably clean.

On the walls inside the temple, painters have created paintings depicting the origin of the black dragon enshrined in the Black Dragon Temple.

Once, a severe drought lasting five years occurred within a radius of thousands of miles. The Dragon King Temple enshrines a different Dragon King.

Local officials prayed to the Dragon King for rain, but the Dragon King appeared in their dreams to the officials and the people, saying that the drought was an order from the Heavenly Court, and that if he was to send rain, he would be sent to the Heavenly Court's Dragon-Slaying Platform.

However, there are loopholes that can be exploited. If someone can accept that his dragon scales will transform into a divine dragon, then the drought can be resolved.

After one night, the officials summoned the people to discuss the matter of the dragon transformation.

At this moment, a dark-skinned youth stepped forward. He sank into the Black Dragon Pool and received the dragon scales of the previous Dragon King, transforming into a black dragon.

He flew up from the pool and soared through the sky, bringing clouds and rain.

The black dragon, having acted without permission, was immediately punished by heavenly lightning. Braving the lightning, the black dragon showered rain across a thousand miles of land, saving the lives of millions of people...

The black dragon is usually depicted as an evil dragon, but here it is a benevolent dragon king revered by all.

"Friend, are you interested in this story?"

The temple keeper of the Dragon King Temple walked to the roadside and began explaining the stories depicted in the murals to the people standing by.

Looking to the side of the road, I saw that the temple keeper of the Dragon King Temple was also a young man with dark skin.

"Is this your story?" the roadside monk asked.

"Huh? How did you figure that out?" The temple keeper was taken aback.

"Huh? Why did you admit it?" Lu Bian was also stunned for a moment. He thought that the Black Dragon King would still be stubborn.

“I have a friend who is also a dragon. Over time, I’ve gradually become able to tell who is a dragon in disguise,” the roadside man said to the black dragon.

“Recently, some people have come to my temple looking for me, so I sent everyone away and am keeping watch over the temple by myself,” Black Dragon said.

“I’ve come for the person who came looking for you last time,” he said from the roadside.

"You're subordinate of the Golden-Winged Roc?" The black dragon's face darkened.

"No, I'm more like his adversary."

"I heard that the Golden-Winged Roc came looking for trouble with you, so I wanted to come and see you," said the man by the roadside.

"Even if you are a subordinate of the Golden-Winged Roc, I am not afraid at all," the black dragon said with some arrogance.

"The story in this mural must have been adapted, right?" someone asked, pointing at the mural on the roadside.

“This is what the people saw with their own eyes, and this is how they recorded it,” Heilong did not deny.

“I was originally a dragon. I stormed into the Black Dragon Pool and seized the old dragon’s essence. I rushed to the sky and transformed from a dragon into a dragon. The transformation of a dragon into a dragon itself would cause celestial phenomena and bring down rain. The lightning that struck me was actually the tribulation of my transformation into a dragon.”

"...So this was unintentional on your part?" someone asked from the roadside.

"You're mistaken. Even the old Dragon King couldn't keep up the situation. The Heavenly Court wouldn't let him send rain, and he had to watch as tens of thousands of people died from drought in the land under his jurisdiction."

"He not only wanted to find someone to replace him, but he also wanted someone else to suffer the punishment for defying fate."

“He’s a complete coward,” Black Dragon said bluntly.

"After you succeeded the previous Dragon King, will the Heavenly Court continue to prevent rain from falling here?" asked the roadside.

"Hmph, right after I successfully transformed into a dragon, the Heavenly Court issued a decree, and it caused me to drizzle for three consecutive days."

“Even the Heavenly Court needs to consider my brothers’ feelings,” the black dragon replied. “You have connections too?”

"It's also my fault for keeping a low profile for a thousand years, otherwise you wouldn't have come to my temple without knowing anything."

"I haven't asked yet..." He bowed and asked the Black Dragon from the roadside.

"You don't need to know my name. A thousand years ago, when I was wandering the Three Realms, I was given the nickname 'Great Sage Dragon Demon King Who Overturns the Seas'," the black dragon said with a faint smile.

"So you are the Great Sage Who Overturns the Sea. The legends of you and the other Great Sages are still circulating in the martial arts world."

“The Golden-Winged Roc learned from my third brother that I was living in seclusion here, and came to find me to be his sea-conquering general.”

"Unfortunately, I no longer want to get involved in messy things."

"Your third brother..." On the roadside, he mentally flipped through "Journey to the West" to find a strategy guide.

The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, the Bull Demon King, is the eldest; the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas, the Flood Dragon Demon King, is the second; the Great Sage Who Confounds Heaven, the Roc Demon King, is the third; the Great Sage Who Moves Mountains, the Lion Camel King, is the fourth; the Great Sage Who Knows All, the Macaque King, is the fifth; the Great Sage Who Drives Away Gods, the Yu Rong King, is the sixth; and the Great Sage Who Equals Heaven, the Handsome Monkey King, is the seventh. These are the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan.

When the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, rebelled against Heaven and wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, none of his seven brothers were missing.

After the Monkey King attained the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, his brothers also distanced themselves from the struggles of the martial world.

The experiences of the eldest and seventh brothers served as a profound lesson for the five brothers in the middle. No matter how great one's abilities, can they surpass the heavens, whether it's the Eastern Heavenly Court or the Western Paradise?

The two monkeys, Yu Rong Wang and Mi Hou Wang, became local mountain gods, while Jiao Mo Wang became the Dragon King in the Dali Kingdom.

The Lion Camel King was rather unlucky; no one knows what he's been reincarnated into now. You can tell from his name that he was the original master of Lion Camel Ridge, but his home was destroyed by the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Roc.

Because of the Lion Camel King incident, the seven great saints, including the Flood Dragon Demon King, already had a grudge against the three demon kings, the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Roc. The Flood Dragon Demon King would rather die than become the Roc's subordinate.

"The Roc Demon King? His nickname really clashes with the Golden-Winged Roc," someone said from the roadside.

"The Golden-Winged Roc is the ancestor of all feathered creatures. Even the Roc Demon King has to kneel down and kowtow to the Golden-Winged Roc, calling it his ancestor," the Flood Dragon Demon King said with some disdain.

Among the seven great saints of the demon race, he, the Jiao Demon King, ranked second. They ranked them based on their strength, and all the brothers agreed with this ranking. No one felt that anyone was hiding something or being subordinate to someone else.

"Have you fought the Golden-Winged Roc?" someone asked from the roadside.

"To be honest, I lost to him," the Flood Dragon Demon King said directly.

"Aren't you going to hide it at all?" Lu Bian felt that the Jiao Demon King had a very straightforward personality.

"There's nothing to hide. Hiding it will only make others think you value winning and losing too much."

"So what if I lost? I'm not going to be a lackey of the Golden-Winged Roc."

"What was the price you paid for losing to the Golden-Winged Roc?" the roadside man asked earnestly.

"A golden-winged roc statue was placed on the pagoda of the Dali Kingdom Pilgrimage Temple. It was made from gold from my home."

"Moreover, he wanted me to halve the rainfall in my jurisdiction from the day I was defeated by him, in order to force me to rebel against the Heavenly Court."

"If I reduce the rainfall, the Heavenly Court will chop off my head."

"But I'm not afraid of getting my head chopped off."

"If you get your head chopped off on the Dragon-Slaying Platform, it'll just grow back. I'm not some incompetent fool like the Jing River Dragon King," the Flood Dragon Demon King said dismissively.
