The Immortal Cultivation Game Has Come True

Upon hearing this,

Xuanqing was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect the West Sea Dragon King to play such a big game, willing to incorporate the entire West Sea Dragon Clan into Black Wind Country as Water Gods.

If it were as the other party said,

In the future, the whole Black Wind Country, from ancient wells to rivers and lakes, all the Water Gods would have a Dragon Clan.

It should be known that,

In the entire Three Realms, regarding the “Water” Dao, if the Dragon Clan were to be called second, no other race would dare to call itself the first.

However,…

On second thought,

Nowadays, the Dragon Clan is widely spread across the Four Seas, but its status is very low, even relegated to the level of “food”.

Not to mention, every five hundred years, during the Heavenly Court’s Flat Peach Banquet, there is a dish called Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, which is made from the liver of the Dragon Clan and the bone marrow of the Phoenix Clan.

As for why the dishes do not include the White Tiger or Black Tortoise races, the former is due to the Heavenly Court’s White Tiger Sacred Beast, while the latter…

It was because the ancestor of the Black Tortoise clan severed his own limbs and gained the merit of supporting the sky.

However, the Dragon and Phoenix clans were not so lucky, over the years, either being caught as mounts, reduced to food, or even raised as pets, fully demonstrating the law of the survival of the fittest.

Now,

The West Sea Dragon King, incorporating the West Sea Dragon Clan as the Water Gods of Black Wind Country, could be seen as binding them together with Black Wind Country in some sense.

In such a situation,

If Xuanqing were to establish a Taoist temple in the future and develop it, although he would not be able to restore his former status, at least he would not be reduced to mere ingredients for dishes.

With this in mind,

Xuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the West Sea Dragon King with an indescribable look in his eyes.

This West Sea Dragon King…really is a cunning schemer, this time seeming to ask others for help, but actually seeking a way out for his West Sea Dragon Clan.

Of course,

For him, this was also a profitable deal, since his foundation in this world is shallow, having the support of the Dragon Clan would bring huge benefits for the development of his Daoist temple and Black Wind Country in the future.

Xuanqing said lightly, “Once you join my Black Wind Country, we will share both honor and disgrace, and there will be no way out.”

“Dragon King Ao Run, have you thought it through?”

“Little Dragon has thought it through.”

The West Sea Dragon King did not hesitate at all and said firmly.

For the Dragon Clan now, there is no way out, if they continue to develop this way, sooner or later, they will become rare creatures in the Primordial World.

Upon hearing this,

“Fine, 1 will take care of the Jing River’s Dragon King’s matter myself!” Xuanqing nodded and said casually.

Perhaps for the Dragon Clan, the matter of Jing River’s Dragon King is extremely difficult,

But for him, not to mention his Chaos Virtue Holy Body not affected by causality, merely his current first-grade Daoist Immortal Official status would be enough to easily solve it.

“Thank you, thank you, Immortal Xuanqing!”

Upon hearing that her husband could be saved, the Dragon Girl was overjoyed and tearful. She wanted to kneel down and thank Xuanqing but was stopped by the gentle breeze he sent out, so she could only keep thanking him with her mouth.

On the side,

The West Sea Dragon King was well-informed, knowing that Immortal Xuanqing would not be moved by kowtowing or selling misery, only real benefits could move him.

Since the matter has now been resolved, it’s not appropriate to bother him further. He bowed and cupped his hands, saying,

“1 ask Immortal Xuanqing to take care of the matter between my niece’s

husband and me. I… will not disturb your cultivation, farewell!”

“Take care-”

Xuanqing nodded slightly, watching the two dragons leave.

In the room,

Xuanqing sat alone on the cushion, pondering the matter of Jing River’s Dragon King.

Speaking of which,

This Game World is a magical world, a blend of the Journey to the West legend, ancient and modern divine and immortal records, the Investiture of the Gods legend, and even Primordial legends in the Real World.

As a result, many things in this world come with a slight discrepancy from the legends.

But regardless of which version, the Fetching the Scriptures event in Journey to the West, was supposed to start after the Water and Land Ritual Conference in the 13th Year of Zhenguan.

“Previously, I received Dao Cang at Liusha River and it was already the ninth life of the Golden Cicada. Later, I had closed-door cultivation for half a month in the Flat Peach Garden and another month in Douluo Palace.”

“One day in Heaven equals one year on Earth. By human time, it has already been decades. Logically speaking, the departure for Fetching the Scriptures should have already happened, and it may even have been completed.”

Xuanqing frowned slightly.

The development of events was somewhat unexpected for him.

Suddenly.

A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind as he thought of a possibility.

Perhaps… according to the original plot of this world, indeed the journey to retrieve the scriptures began in the 13th year of Zhenguan.

But due to his previous actions, it is very likely that the retrieval of scriptures in the journey to the West has been delayed.

For example… the Yellow Wind Monster being killed means they have to rearrange this calamity.

Furthermore.

The Black Bear Essence was originally meant to steal the kasaya, but now that it has become his subordinate, even if it has become influenced by the calamity, it would not steal the kasaya given its current character.

Lastly, there is Senior Brother Zhu Ganglie. If it weren’t for him, he should have already entered the calamity and become a demon by now.

However, he managed to suppress the calamity within his body by eating many ginseng fruits, and even arranged the reincarnation location of Mao Erjie in the Black Wind Country.

Such matters… have already been done unconsciously and to a great extent.

Thinking of this.

“It turns out that the reason why the Jing River’s Dragon King can live for an extended period is all because of my contributions!” Xuanqing suddenly smiled.

“Forget it, let’s go to Tang Dynasty first!”

Originally.

He planned to return to the real world first, harvest the vast amount of incense from billions of people, and then proceed with the final step of the Five Qi Chaoyuan practice.

After that… with the cultivation level of the Five Qi Chaoyuan realm, learn the Defense Formation of the Four Sacred Beasts previously gifted by the White Tiger Daoist, and finally establish a Daoist temple.

But now that he has promised the West Sea Dragon King, he will go to the Tang Dynasty first before doing these things.

For him, who is now a first-grade official.

Rescuing the Jing River’s Dragon King is a very simple matter. He just needs to summon the ‘Seal’ representing his destiny, stamp a decree to exempt from death, and it’s done.

By then, the Jing River’s Dragon King, even if he is framed for violating the heavenly law, how can he possibly be killed by that mere official Wei Zheng with the exemption from death decree in his possession?

So.

Xuanqing made up his mind.

Of course.

Before going to the Tang Dynasty, he needs to find out the current situation of the Black Wind Country after these decades have passed.

Also, the Luck Golden Dragon above the Black Wind Country has dissipated, so he needs to find out the situation of Gentleman Bai She’s transformation with the Destiny Golden Dragon body.

With that in mind.

Xuanqing tapped the Immortal Official Document on his waist.

All subordinates, come to Black Wind Mountain quickly!”

About an hour later.

On the hillside of Black Wind Mountain, in the Martial Arts Arena.

Xuanqing stood on a high platform.

On the Martial Arts Arena, hundreds of living beings had gathered. Apart from the old ones like Black Bear Essence, Gentleman Bai She, Qingwan, Bai Ling’er… etc. who followed him a long time ago, most of them were City God deities from various places.

“We pay our respects to Sir!

“We pay our respects to Sir!”

Swish-

Hundreds of people simultaneously knelt on one knee and loudly saluted.

It is worth mentioning that.

In this world, apart from the Shimen who like to practice kowtow rituals, there are no kowtows from small mortal emperors to the Heavenly Court Jade Emperor.

And these people knelt on one knee because Xuanqing is their master, in terms of status, he is equivalent to their parents, so they only knelt on one knee.

“You all may rise!”

Xuanqing raised his hand slightly.

His gaze fell on the subordinate gods below.

Black Bear Essence, Bai Ling’er, and other deities remained the same, with some improvement in their cultivation levels, but not much change overall.

However, Gentleman Bai She and Qingwan had undergone significant changes.

The former’s luck was so dense that it was not much different from that of a three-rank immortal in the Heavenly Court. His cultivation had greatly increased, and his aura was even greater than that of Black Bear Essence.

It seemed… that Gentleman Bai She has gained a lot after condensing the Luck Golden Dragon body!

As for the latter, Qingwan, the changes in her body were somewhat beyond his expectations.

He saw her wearing an imperial robe and a purple-golden crown on her head. Her delicate facial features were filled with nobility, and there was a seductive air within her noble demeanor.

More importantly.

Xuanqing saw a trace of obscure and unspeakable Emperor’s Qi in her body!
