Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 211 With the help of fellow Daoists, what is there to worry about...?

Despite defeating the third-ranked person in the world, Yang Dingtian felt no joy whatsoever.

Arriving in this new era, the dreams we once had have been completely shattered by reality.

Brothers killing each other!

More and more powerful figures from the Eastern Continent are returning, and the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top are almost everywhere in the Central Plains.

Upon hearing this news, Li Changsheng returned to Penglai to cultivate.

Because the Dragon King of the West Sea had fallen, the True Dragon remembered him once again.

Ao Qing could no longer be held back. The True Dragon was determined to pull him out to strengthen its own power.

Without the Dragon King of the West Sea, the Five Signs of Decay and Four Calamities of Heaven and Man are incomplete and their power is greatly diminished.

The dragon and the phoenix have reached a point of no return.

Upon hearing this news, Li Changsheng sighed softly. Indeed, once one enters the world, there is no way to be at ease.

Even if he wanted to retreat into seclusion and live a life detached from worldly affairs, the others would not allow it.

A year after Li Changsheng returned to Penglai, the figures of the Three Sea Dragon Kings appeared, and an ancient dragon's might swept across the sky.

A true blue dragon broke through the sky and transformed into human form above Penglai Island.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, the Dragon Clan is now in decline; it is the time for you to emerge from seclusion."

A dragon's roar resounded, and a true dragon, dressed in a blue dragon robe and wearing a crown, appeared, becoming the current leader of the dragon race.

Li Changsheng looked as if he had just woken up from seclusion, his powerful aura permeating the entire Penglai Island, causing it to tremble.

"Brother Taiyi," Ao Qing spoke first, "I'm back. This is His Highness the True Dragon."

Li Changsheng examined the true dragon; the dragon's might was second only to his own ancestral dragon form.

The True Dragon had also comprehended the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Rune, and its strength in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top was indeed unmatched.

"Daoist Taiyi of the North Sea greets the True Dragon." Li Changsheng bowed politely.

  

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, there's no need to be so polite."

The True Dragon smiled slightly and said, "I have long admired your name, Fellow Daoist. You are a rare genius in the history of my Dragon Clan. You have comprehended the True Dragon Dao and created the True Dragon Treasure Technique and the Five Decays and Four Calamities Method of Heaven and Man, which have greatly enhanced the strength of my Dragon Clan."

"Your Highness flatters me. I was merely fortunate to have gained some insight," Li Changsheng said humbly.

"The world is in chaos now. That phoenix is ​​extremely despicable, daring to kill the Dragon King of the West Sea. Now that the four seas are in need, I hope that you, fellow Daoist, can come out of seclusion to help."

The dragon said solemnly.

"What? The Dragon King of the West Sea has fallen?" Li Changsheng's body trembled, as if he had just learned of the news.

"Brother, the Dragon King of the West Sea..." Ao Qing opened his mouth, then sighed heavily, his voice choked with emotion, unable to speak.

The other two Dragon Kings also looked somber and lowered their heads.

The true dragon's face was icy cold: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, the reason I asked you to come out of seclusion this time is to avenge the West Sea Dragon King."

"The revenge for the West Sea Dragon King must be taken, but how can we achieve it?"

Li Changsheng sighed, "I am now only at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top stage, while the three Dragon Kings are still only at the Yang God realm."

In this era where the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top are commonplace, even surviving at the Yang Shen realm is difficult.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I have the Four Seas Grand Formation. You can replace the West Sea Dragon King. With your cultivation level and the Grand Formation, even someone at the mid-stage of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top can put up a fight."

The True Dragon Path.

"The Four Seas Grand Formation?" Li Changsheng's face showed surprise. "In that case, this humble Taoist is willing to lead the Four Seas to avenge the West Sea Dragon King!"

"Good, very good." The True Dragon was very satisfied with his attitude: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi is a prodigy of my Dragon Clan and was once the leader of the Four Seas. I promise that, now and in the future, your status will be second only to mine."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Changsheng bowed respectfully.

A true dragon has its pride; to be on equal footing with a true dragon, one must be able to defeat it.

However, if he actually makes a move, Zhenlong will feel that his position is threatened and may very well kill him.

Since there's no way to avoid it and I have to come out of seclusion, I'll just stay out of the shadows and try to save my life.

Are you expecting him to do everything in his power to assist the true dragon?

Let's forget about it!

"Ao Qing, go and prepare a banquet. Drink tonight in the North Sea. Tomorrow, we'll begin to familiarize ourselves with the Four Seas Formation," the True Dragon said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Ao Qing bowed respectfully and returned to Beihai to make arrangements.

The other two Dragon Kings also went along. The True Dragon said, "I heard that the Ancestor has already bestowed the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark upon Fellow Daoist Taiyi."

"Yes, all these years, I have been studying the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Pattern in Penglai."

Li Changsheng replied, "I am truly ashamed. The Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark is unfathomable, and I have no clue about it to this day."

The True Dragon smiled slightly and said, "The Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark is incomparable to the True Dragon Mark. Fellow Daoist, do not be discouraged. After avenging the West Sea Dragon King, I will guide you to comprehend the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Changsheng looked overjoyed.

This true dragon clearly only trusts me and gives me benefits if I do things for him.

If it were another dragon, upon hearing the true dragon's guidance on comprehending the Ancestral Dragon's sacred runes, it would surely be overjoyed and work desperately for the true dragon.

Unfortunately, he was no ordinary dragon, and he had already comprehended the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark, so he did not need the guidance of a true dragon.

He could even give the true dragon some pointers.

"This bottle of pills is a gift for you, fellow Daoist." The True Dragon took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Li Changsheng: "It's a pity that we couldn't capture the Phoenix. Otherwise, if we had refined the Phoenix into pills, you would definitely have been able to break through to the mid-stage of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. My strength is meager, and I dare not hope to be a phoenix. If Your Highness could bestow a little phoenix blood upon me, I would be extremely honored," Li Changsheng said respectfully.

The dragon was increasingly satisfied; this Taiyi Daoist was truly sensible.

Previously, I couldn't get the words out, and I thought that this Taiyi Daoist was arrogant because he thought he had comprehended the Dao of the True Dragon, so I ignored his words.

Now it seems he believes that the Taoist Taiyi was indeed in seclusion before.

The dragon became increasingly happy and interested as they talked, and began to chat with the Taoist Taiyi.

"Since my resurrection, I have surveyed the dragon races of the four seas, and only Ao Xuan has caught my eye."

The True Dragon sighed, and then praised Li Changsheng again: "Knowing that I have learned of your True Dragon Treasure Technique and witnessed the Five Signs of Decay and Four Calamities of Heaven and Man, I know that my Dragon Clan has a worthy successor."

Li Changsheng was embarrassed by the praise: "I am ashamed, I am ashamed. I only managed to comprehend it by chance. My cultivation progress is slow and I am far inferior to Ao Xuan."

"A mere cultivation level can be improved with resources, but your insights, fellow Daoist, cannot be compensated for by resources alone," the True Dragon said. "I've heard that you experienced the era of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor?"

"What kind of experience is that? Just barely surviving."

Li Changsheng sighed bitterly, "Back then, I was as weak as an ant. The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor ran rampant for an era, and even the Holy Son and Holy Daughter had to bow down to him."

"These mere holy sons and daughters are not worth a glance." The True Dragon said contemptuously, "The holy sons and daughters of this generation are truly terrible. If the Holy Maiden of Azure Heaven hadn't hidden herself so well, she too would have met her demise."

Li Changsheng: "..."

Say that to them when they get back.

The holy sons and daughters of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's generation have basically all achieved the Five Qi Convergence.

Although they couldn't withstand a single attack from the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, it didn't mean they couldn't deal with this true dragon.

So many years have passed, and the improvement of the Holy Sons and Daughters is not just in their cultivation level.

In particular, the Heavenly Saintess and the Yellow Heavenly Saint were enlightened to the unity of Heaven and Earth back then.

Although they suffered a great loss of strength that time, they had the Holy Land backing them up, so they could naturally make up for it.

Just as Li Changsheng was speechless, the True Dragon spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, what do you think of the world now?"

"In the world today?" Li Changsheng paused, then pondered, "In the world today, Yang Wushang is the strongest in name only. Has Your Highness ever fought against Yang Wushang?"

"These were all tests, not real battles," Zhenlong said calmly. "Yang Wushang is indeed quite capable, having grasped the essence of the Way of the Sun. What about the other experts?"

"Kunpeng and Phoenix are second only to Your Highness. If they join forces, is Your Highness confident?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Of course I'm confident." The True Dragon said disdainfully, "A group of guys joining forces can't even defeat Yang Wushang. It's truly laughable. If it weren't for that phoenix's cunning and hidden killing moves, how could it have even gotten close to me?"

Li Changsheng naturally flattered, saying that the true dragon was powerful and the phoenix was despicable: "That phoenix is ​​indeed despicable. I heard before that it had some connection with the other Xia Yanbing."

"Xia Yanbing is nothing to me. He's just an unknown figure from the era of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor," the True Dragon said disdainfully.

During the era of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, Xia Yanbing and Xia Mingyue had no chance to be born.

They could only retreat into seclusion and cultivate themselves, thus surviving that era.

Now that he has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and returned to the Central Plains, he is referred to by the True Dragon as the nameless one from back then.

These two princesses are quite tragic, even though they were both very talented.

"In this world, powerful beings abound, and those ancient demons all yearn to devour each other to strengthen themselves."

Li Changsheng pondered, "If their strengths are similar, or even if they differ greatly, they will unite and restrain each other, and can only kill some ancient demons that cannot affect the overall situation."

"Indeed," the True Dragon agreed. "The Kunpeng and the Phoenix both have ways to protect themselves. Even I and Yang Wushang are not confident in killing them directly."

"Right now, everyone is still fighting alone. Even if they have a large force under their command, it won't affect the overall situation."

Li Changsheng said in a low voice, "If we can join forces with the enemy and launch a surprise attack, we can greatly increase our chances of killing them."

"Alliance and strategy?" The true dragon narrowed its eyes slightly. "But now, there's no trust between them, and they both want to devour each other. How can they possibly unite?"

There is absolutely no basis for trust!

If they unite, they also have to worry about whether their allies will betray them.

If an ally betrays you at a crucial moment, you're doomed.

"Kunpeng, Phoenix, and Yang Wushang are not worth allying with, but Your Highness, don't forget that there are other powerful figures in this era."

Li Changsheng smiled faintly.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, you mean the Sun Bird, Yang Dingtian?" The True Dragon's eyes lit up.

"Of course not," Li Changsheng shook his head. "The Sun Bird, of its ten brothers, are either dead or scattered. They can even kill their own brothers. How can Your Highness trust them?"

"Of course I can't believe it. How could a normal living being kill its own brother? You beast! I would rather cooperate with Kunpeng than with a beast." The true dragon made no attempt to hide its disgust.

The Sun Bird, a symbol of fratricide, shocked their entire era.

Perhaps there are quite a few brothers who kill each other in this world, but apart from the third-ranked person in the world, it's hard to find many who kill their brothers and then devour them to improve their own power.

Can such a monk be trusted?

If you actually believe it, you never know when you'll become the other person's supplement.

"Indeed, beast, even more untrustworthy than the Kunpeng." Li Changsheng nodded: "I wasn't referring to the Sun Bird, but to the Netherworld."

"Netherworld? You mean, seeking cooperation with the Nine Netherworlds?"

The True Dragon frowned, looking troubled: "I admit that Jiu Youming is a strong person no weaker than me, but she never leaves the Netherworld and does not participate in battles, so I'm afraid she won't cooperate."

Li Changsheng admired Zhenlong greatly; his skin was truly thick.

A strong person who is no weaker than you?

If we're talking about him, he didn't take the real dragon seriously at all when he started fighting.

But he had no confidence in facing the Nine Netherworlds. Before he could refine the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he dared not go to the Netherworlds lightly.

The gap between the two sides was enormous, but Zhenlong clearly did not realize this.

Suppressing his thoughts, Li Changsheng said, "Naturally, it wouldn't be Jiu Youming, but Wutian and Sun Chengdao."

"Wu Tian and Sun Chengdao? Not bad, their strength has improved rapidly. They recently emerged from seclusion, and their strength has undergone earth-shattering changes. They are almost catching up with me."

Zhenlong pondered, "If we cooperate with them, we can easily kill Kunpeng and Phoenix by surprise."

"Wu Tian and Sun Chengdao are quite strong, and their character is far superior to that of the other cultivators."

Li Changsheng said, "Furthermore, Sun Chengdao is backed by the Taoist sect, and the world still belongs to the Taoist sect."

"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist." The True Dragon agreed with his words.

"However, once we seek their cooperation, the phoenix will be temporarily immobilized." Li Changsheng looked troubled. "I originally wanted to avenge the West Sea Dragon King, but Your Highness's greater cause is more important..."

"Why can't we move the phoenix?" the true dragon asked, frowning.

Li Changsheng sighed, "Xia Yanbing and Xia Mingyue are also backed by the Daoist sect, so Xia Yanbing and Sun Chengdao should be acquainted."

"This is a bit tricky. If Xia Yanbing interferes, they might not cooperate with us," Zhenlong said.

"It depends on whether you can humble yourself and back down temporarily."

Li Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Then the phoenix also wants to kill the Kunpeng, right? If Your Highness backs down, I will visit the Nine Netherworld again and ask her to help persuade Wutian. Even if Sun Chengdao does not cooperate, Wutian will still help Your Highness."

"Hmm." Zhenlong responded and pondered. If he couldn't win over Sun Chengdao, winning over Wutian would be a good idea. However, he still had concerns: "Wutian and Sun Chengdao are too powerful. I'm afraid I can't control them and end up raising a tiger that will only cause trouble."

"Isn't there still Yang Wushang? This era is destined to have only one strong person survive. When the strength is about the same, it depends on who has more tricks up their sleeve," Li Changsheng said.

"Send them to deal with Yang Wushang?" Zhenlong's eyes gleamed.

He finally understood Li Changsheng's meaning: to use Wutian and Sun Chengdao to sweep away all the geniuses and ancient demons on the table.

In the end, they and Yang Wushang were both severely injured, and then they came out to clean up the mess.

"With the help of fellow Daoists, what is there to worry about in achieving great things? Hahaha!" The True Dragon laughed loudly, feeling that the road ahead was bright and that he would surely become the strongest.
