Chapter 531 The Adventures of Big Carp
In the Gufeng Realm, the Jade River winds and swirls, and its total length stretches for a full 100,000 miles, eventually connecting the four seas of the world.
The widest part of the river is 800 miles wide and boundless.
If you can break through the clouds and take a bird's eye view, the Jade River is like a satin blue embroidered jade belt, stretching across the endless land.
And because the spiritual veins in the Jade River are dense, many forces have chosen this place along the river bank and established their own sects and families.
But the vitality of the Jade River is not only favored by human sects, but also by the demons in the river,
and their scale is even far greater than that of humans, with tens of millions of them.
They are distributed in every corner of the river. Every thousands of miles, a water demon will appear to disturb the tranquility of the surrounding villages, or call themselves "He Bo" or "Dragon King".
These demons also require the surrounding people to build ancestral halls and devoutly offer incense to them to show their faith.
Although there are demons everywhere in the Jade River, the people are not living in dire straits.
In fact, it is quite the opposite. Compared with the disciples of the sects who kill innocent people every day and are ignorant of the suffering of the people, the common people along the Jade River are more willing to approach these demons.
After all, these demons are really trustworthy.
They promised that as long as they set up a temple for themselves, there will be good weather and good harvests in the coming year.
Even if some unpredictable natural disasters cannot be avoided, the demons will also help,
using their magical powers to resist natural disasters, and even catch enough fish and shrimp from the Jade River so that the people have enough food to deal with the difficulties.
If there is a man-made disaster, the river monsters will also take action to drive away the invading monks or foreign monsters.
It is precisely because such a custom has continued for nearly tens of thousands of years that the great demons in this world are not lacking in incense, resulting in a much higher probability of the birth of strong people.
For example, in the Xiaobeihai Realm, it is almost impossible to find a demon king in the divine realm.
But there are indeed several great monsters in the God Realm in this Gufeng Realm.
However, these great monsters, also under the will of the Heavenly Dao, all perished in the war between the Void.
One of the Yuhe monster gods is called "Mengshui Dragon Lord". He was an ordinary river carp at birth,
but he succeeded in becoming a dragon in the God Realm, but he also perished in the war five hundred years ago.
After his death, a legend spread along the 100,000-mile Yuhe River.
Thirty thousand years ago, on the banks of the Yuhe Mengshui River, there was a country called Dawei.
The Dawei Dynasty lasted for more than 20,000 years, during which several venerables were born.
According to rumors, the reason why Dawei could exist for so long was because of the dragon slough left by the Mengshui Dragon Lord when he transformed into a dragon.
There is also a legend that the ancestor of the Dawei Dynasty was the Mengshui Dragon Lord, which was why it could last so long.
And the Mengshui Dragon Lord was once just an ordinary carp.
The reason why it was able to transform from a river carp into a real dragon is that there is a towering mountain on the top of Mengshui, called Longfeng.
One side of Longfeng is as steep as a knife, and the rapids flowing down from the top of the mountain are like a spring falling in the void, long like a white silk flying like thunder.
This huge waterfall separates Qingshan and Mengshui, which looks extremely magnificent, and this mountain is also called Longmen.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a rumor that as long as those monsters who had not entered the Tao could cross the turbulent water rushing down from Longfeng and successfully jump over Longmen, they could transform into dragons.
Today is the day when the water flow is stable, and it is also the monster festival held every three years.
Under Mengshui, thousands of big monsters are looking forward to it, waiting for thousands of small monsters to impact the ten-thousand-foot-high Longfeng.
For five hundred years, this rumor has spread throughout the Yu River, but no demon has ever been able to leap over a distance of ten thousand feet and successfully transform into a dragon.
In the anticipation of the Ten Thousand Demons Festival, a huge golden carp appeared among tens of millions of small demons,
like a dazzling sun, blazing and bright, standing among the stars.
The golden scales shone with brilliant light, and the body like a small mountain peak was particularly eye-catching in the water, and immediately attracted the attention and discussion of all the big demons.
A monster transformed from a giant river clam stared at the giant golden carp with curiosity, its eyes full of surprise:
"My fellow Taoist, you are definitely extraordinary in size. You look like a high-level monster that has condensed a Dharma body. Why do you come here to compete with these little monsters?"
Other monsters also murmured in confusion, and their voices floated on the water:
"Yes, according to rumors, only little monsters who have not entered the Dao are qualified to touch the Dragon Gate and get the inheritance of Mengshui Dragon Lord. For an old monster like you, it is useless even if you can jump over it."
Xie Que's transformed koi turned around leisurely, his eyes as deep as a deep pool, and glanced at the big monsters.
Then he moved his mind and took the initiative to release his Yin Shen aura, which immediately shocked the big monsters.
A noisy discussion suddenly emerged:
"How is it possible that such a big guy has just entered the third realm?"
"Is this guy a special alien race, or does he have ancient blood flowing in his body?"
"How is this possible..."
The voices of doubt and astonishment filled the entire river.
Xie Que swung his tail slightly, then raised his head and looked at the top of Longfeng.
At this time, under the impact of the ten thousand feet falling spring,
the little monsters were like wheat ears blown by the wind, covered and crushed, and turned directly into balls of blood and broken meat and exploded instantly,
The flesh and debris floating in the turbid blood water is the scene that millions of monsters are waiting for.
At this moment, many monsters with bad intentions began to devour the broken meat.
After all, no matter how weak they are, they are all monsters, and the benefits brought by flesh and blood are self-evident.
There are also many monsters who take advantage of the three years under this waterfall to fish in troubled waters and want to go further by devouring their own kind.
However, because there are many famous monsters here, they dare not be too blatant.
At this moment, several monsters with bad intentions looked at Xie Que, and their minds began to move.
They could feel a surge of blood from Xie Que's body. If they could swallow it, they would definitely be able to get closer to Yangshen Zhenjun.
Xie Que carefully sensed the top of Longfeng, and there were indeed some abnormalities.
But whether he could really complete the so-called dragon transformation, he still needed to jump over to prove it.
Seeing the small demons being killed or injured every second, and the malicious eyes,
Xie Que swam forward slowly.
Seeing this body size, the small demons around him also sensibly moved aside.
Xie Que did not hesitate and directly hit Canglang with his tail.
Suddenly, the water splashed like a starry sky, higher than Longfeng.
And Xie Que's body also directly surpassed the height of Longfeng.
In the astonished eyes of countless big demons, Xie Que fell towards the top of Mengshui.
"After so many years... Is there finally a demon that wants to transform into a dragon again?"
"That koi is so huge, I'm afraid it must have used some method to conceal its breath. How could a third-level demon have such a size?"
"Yes, yes, even if it is the bloodline left by the ancient alien species, how can it be so huge today after tens of thousands of years?"
"What's the point of jumping over? Who of us hasn't tried it in the past? Even if we big demons jump over, it will be useless."
Just as these big demons finished speaking, they saw golden light shining above the Mengshui River.
At this moment, an illusory portal appeared out of thin air on the top of Longfeng.
The portal was like a winding dragon, and every scale on its body was clearly visible.
At the same time, the koi transformed by Xie Que also passed through the dragon gate.
The next moment, the big demons at the bottom of the river suddenly widened their eyes.
They didn't expect that the legend of Longmen, which had been passed down for five hundred years, actually existed!
And the koi was not what they thought, a great demon that used the breath-retaining method,
but a genuine third realm.
When the Longmen appeared, the great demons displayed their magical powers and wanted to fly up to the sky in an instant to get a glimpse of the secret of Longmen.
But what they didn't expect was that after the koi passed through the Longmen.
The Longmen seemed to become spiritual when seeing these great demons flying out of thin air.
Two huge vertical pupils like buckets opened, and there was an invisible dragon power, which instantly made these great demons solidify in mid-air and unable to move.
...
After crossing the Longmen, Xie Que's body seemed to enter an endless void space,
which seemed to be isolated from the outside world of Gufeng Realm and formed its own space.
In front of Xie Que's sight, stood a mighty and vague dragon shadow.
The dragon shadow was cascading with golden light, sacred and majestic, and its oppressive aura made people dare not neglect it.
And the pair of indifferent and ruthless golden vertical pupils also looked at Xie Que, who looked like a little carp in front of him.
"Mengshui Dragon Lord?"
Xie Que made a puzzled sound. He did not expect that Mengshui Dragon Lord would really leave his inheritance here.
Xie Que was a little surprised by the dragon shadow's disregard. The dragon shadow did not seem to have any intention to respond to him, but just declared:
"Since you can cross the Dragon Gate with a body of the third realm, it proves that you should have the blood of my dragon clan in your body."
When Xie Que was sure that the dragon shadow had no self-awareness, his interest gradually faded.
For him who already had the divine realm, even the inheritance of a true dragon seemed so ordinary, and there was nothing worth lingering about.
The dragon shadow seemed to be set up, and began a series of long speeches, which directly made Xie Que sleepy.
It was unknown how long it had passed before the huge dragon shadow gradually restrained its breath and said in a low voice:
"Before I turned into a dragon, I used the three thousand dragon veins as my foundation, and then I transformed from a demon body into a real dragon body."
"Today, I will pass on the inheritance of the blood of the real dragon to you..."
"I hope that after you become a god, you can protect the creatures of Gufeng Realm."
The dragon shadow was silent again, as if leaving a heavy promise to Xie Que.
"As for the secret treasure of the Dragon Palace of the deity, you will naturally know it when you get the inheritance of the deity."
The dragon shadow just finished speaking, and its body shrank instantly.
The next moment, it was like a beam of light, shooting straight at Xie Que's body.
"Something is wrong..." Xie Que suddenly felt strange, as if there was some danger hidden in the dragon shadow that made him alert.
He had communicated with real dragons like Ao Bing, and had a considerable understanding of the breath of real dragons.
The breath emitted by the dragon shadow in front of him was really very different from that of a real dragon.
More importantly, Xie Que also smelled a strange breath belonging to the void, which made his heart tighten.
But at this moment, Xie Que's body was outside the boundary. If he wanted to stop the dragon shadow, it would not be possible in a short time.
As the incarnation of Koi, although he has become extremely powerful through his tempering, his soul is still a bit weak.
At this moment, Xie Que suddenly felt that there seemed to be a strange mark emerging from his soul.
Like a solid line of defense that cannot be broken, it directly blocked the shrinking dragon shadow.
"This is……"
Xie Que reacted instantly, this was the mark of heaven.
Those marked by it almost all represent candidates for the Son of Destiny.
When it is converted into the Tianxin Seal, it means that his identity as the son of destiny is confirmed.
The next moment, the gold on the dragon shadow was stripped away by the mark of heaven,
What remained in place was a little black aura.
Xie Que stared at it and felt that it was the scent of the demon.
"It turns out to be a demon..."
Xie Que couldn't help but sneer, and he could also imagine the danger hidden in it.
Perhaps the original Meng Shuilong Lord really sincerely wanted to leave his inheritance here before his death.
For future generations of monsters to use it to transform into dragons.
It's just that when he was injured by the void demon, there was already a demon that left a demonic thought in his body.
Once an inheritor appears, they will accept the inheritance of the Dragon Lord and at the same time be invaded by the power of the void.
After that, it naturally transformed into the minions of the void.
Fortunately, Xie Que's current status is that he is a candidate for the son of destiny in Gufeng Realm.
For him, such danger is nothing but a piece of cake.
After the dragon shadow was shattered, the space here gradually shattered, and all the golden light that was stripped out of the dragon shadow penetrated into Xie Que's body.
"Surely this is the attitude only a child of destiny has..."
Xie Que couldn't help but sigh, this is almost equivalent to the inherited method of feeding, and there is no one left.
"Dragon veins...incense..."
Xie Que just took a brief look at the inheritance left by the Dragon Lord and shook his head.
For other great demons, this may be a road leading directly to the divine realm.
But for Xie Que, it is a bit redundant.
This is similar to the path Dahei took. He also had to establish a demon kingdom and collect dragon veins and dragon energy. It was really a big project.
However, the wealth that Meng Shuilongjun has collected over the years is a treasure.
There are many miraculous elixirs and many magical weapons.
If he could swallow it, Xie Que could also imagine that he would be able to advance very quickly.
Thinking of this, he jumped down from the top of Mengshui, intending to go deep into the Yuhe River to find the Mengshui Dragon Palace.
But what he didn't expect was that
At this moment, those big demons have been waiting for a long time.
As soon as he came down, he was already surrounded. (End of chapter)
