Chapter 1124: The Origin of Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, the Dragon King

"Speaking of this, this little dragon has one matter to ask Your Majesty for advice," the Dragon King said, bowing.

The Jade Emperor was surprised: "I wonder what matter it is?"

"May I ask Your Majesty, is our world about to fall into chaos with earth, water, fire, and wind, and is there a danger of the world being destroyed?" the Dragon King asked.

Once the words were spoken, the hall became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

"Danger of the world being destroyed?"

"That's impossible, right? Dragon King, did you hear some rumors from that Great Luo powerhouse?"

Only the Buddha and the Jade Emperor remained calm, as if they had known for a long time, looking as though they had everything under control.

"There is indeed such a matter," the Jade Emperor said directly, not avoiding it. "However, this matter is not for us to worry about; the Heavens will naturally act. According to my calculations, although this crisis is great, the difficulty of overcoming it is small."

"There really is a danger of the world being destroyed?"

"It's fortunate that the Heavens are acting, otherwise it would be troublesome."

The East Sea Dragon King gave a bitter smile: "The difficulty of overcoming this crisis is indeed extremely small; it only requires the sacrifice of my daughter and the reincarnation of Hou Yi."

The Jade Emperor was horrified: "That Dao Lord even calculated this?"

Even he could not calculate such details.

In his calculations, he could only determine that the Three Realms were in crisis and could be resolved.

As for the specific solution, there was absolutely none.

The Buddha was the same, his face full of shock.

The East Sea Dragon King: "It is indeed so. It is not impossible for Your Majesty and the Buddha to meet the Dao Lord. The Dao Lord has already agreed to act to pacify the earth, water, fire, and wind of our world, allowing the world to overcome the crisis. This is the opportunity!"

"The Dao Lord is coming over?"

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha were overjoyed.

The East Sea Dragon King: "Correct. However, we must first offer sacrifices to the Heavens to state the Dao Lord's intentions. The Dao Lord has said that he does not wish to destroy our world because of this."

The Jade Emperor said solemnly: "That is as it should be. Someone, set up an incense table for me; we shall offer sacrifices to the Heavens."

Taking advantage of the time while the Jade Emperor was setting up the incense table, the East Sea Dragon King opened the chat group.

East Sea Dragon King: "Dao Lord, I am currently offering sacrifices to the Heavens; are you free? 【Red Packet】"

Su Xiao: "The Dragon King is truly generous. You actually paid 80 billion points all at once."

Erlang Shen: "It's about right. This is inviting a Great Luo Golden Immortal to act, after all."

Yang Jian: "Indeed, the Dao Lord is going to pacify a world; this service fee naturally cannot be too shabby."

【Ding, Zhang Taixuan has claimed the red packet.】

Zhang Taixuan: "I am free at any time. Once I pacify the earth, water, fire, and wind of your world, I will give you a surprise."

Su Xiao: "A surprise? What is it?"

Du Bingyan: "Can a surprise still be called a surprise if it's spoken aloud?"

Ji Yanran: "Exactly. The Dao Lord definitely won't say it now."

Umaru: "Umaru wants to know too!"

Ye Hei: "This surprise is aimed at the Dragon King, so it must be beneficial to the Dragon race, right? Could it be that the Dao Lord is going to solve the problem of the Dragon race's bloodline?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Heavenly Emperor Ye is worthy of being Heavenly Emperor Ye; you are smart."

Hu Yifei: "It really is?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Since someone has already guessed it, I will say it directly. When the time comes, I can refine a Dragon Transformation Pool for the Dragon King, specifically used to purify the Dragon race's bloodline. By then, every member of the Dragon race will be a genius, and ten True Dragons will be enough to complete the water-element laws."

Hu Yifei: "It takes ten True Dragons to complete the water-element laws? Just how high is the Little Dragon Maiden's Dragon bloodline?"

Zhang Taixuan: "This is different. The Little Dragon Maiden is not a pure Dragon; she is also a pawn of the Heavenly Dao. She can complete the laws by herself because of the Heavenly Dao. Others do not have this advantage."

Hu Yifei: "So that's how it is."

Su Xiao: "Why didn't Brother Taixuan refine the Dragon Transformation Pool earlier? If you had, even if you didn't act to pacify the earth, water, fire, and wind, you could have let the Dragon race solve the problem themselves, right?"

"With the Dragon Transformation Pool, the East Sea Dragon Palace could still gather ten True Dragons, right?"

Ye Hei: "I guessed this; it's probably because the Heavenly Dao doesn't allow it."

Hu Yifei: "Indeed, the degradation of the Dragon bloodline is a process of the Heavenly Dao's evolution. This shows that that world simply cannot withstand the appearance of so many genius Dragons. Furthermore, the world is still in the chaos of earth, water, fire, and wind; once the Dragon Transformation Pool appears, it will surely invite heavenly condemnation."

Su Xiao: "Alright, I forgot again!"

Han Pao Pao: "Su Xiao, you didn't 'forget again'; you are clearly just too jumpy. The Dragon King's world is very fragile; the Heavenly Dao won't let you mess around."

Umaru: "I've learned something again."

Zhang Taixuan: "In fact, if you want to solve the problem according to your idea, Su Xiao, it is possible. Place the Dragon Transformation Pool in the Taixuan World, let the Dragon King pick people to transform into True Dragons, and then go back to complete the laws. But in that case, who should be sacrificed? They are all children of the Dragon Palace; wouldn't the old Dragon King feel heartache?"

Su Xiao: "That's true."

Zhang Taixuan: "So, if you can solve the problem without hurting anyone, why must you sacrifice ten people?"

East Sea Dragon King: "The Dao Lord is merciful. Thank you, Dao Lord, for thinking of the East Sea Dragon Palace. If I really had to sacrifice ten dragons, I would truly be in a dilemma."

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: "I remember that many beasts can transform into dragons just by eating the blood or other bodily fluids of the Dragon race, right? Are True Dragons really that hard to come by?"

East Sea Dragon King: "Uh, the Great Sage is not wrong. However, those are not True Dragons; they aren't even considered mixed-blood dragons. Otherwise, would my Dragon Palace still be troubled by reproduction?"

East Sea Dragon King: "Those dragons are called 'Vegetable Dragons,' frequent guests at the Jade Pool banquets. Although they have the form of a dragon and are fed various rare treasures by immortal officials, they taste delicious but possess no divine abilities and have no intelligence. Rather than calling them dragons, it is better to say they are a species completely unrelated to the Dragon race."

Great Sage Equaling Heaven: "So that's how it is. Those are Vegetable Dragons!"

East Sea Dragon King: "This method of cultivating Vegetable Dragons was created by the ancestors of the Dragon race while studying Dragon reproduction. In the end, because it was useless, it was shelved by the Dragon Palace. Later, it was accidentally obtained by a human cultivator and presented to the Heavenly Court. That is how the Heavenly Court's 'Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow' came to be."

Su Xiao: "Good heavens, so the Heavenly Court's Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow are all fake?"

East Sea Dragon King: "Otherwise? The Jade Pool immortal banquets are held often; if they ate True Dragons, where would they find enough to eat! 【Shrug】"

Du Bingyan: "Does the Dragon King have no thoughts about this kind of thing?"

Ji Yanran: "Indeed, 'the rabbit dies and the fox grieves'—one feels for their own kind."

East Sea Dragon King: "None. I already said, those Vegetable Dragons are not the same race as my Dragon race; they only resemble us in appearance, just like the relationship between Ginseng Fruit and humans. This old dragon has also eaten the meat of Vegetable Dragons, and I must say, it is indeed very delicious."

Su Xiao: "Wow, a cannibalistic Dragon race!"

Ye Hei: "I'm dying of laughter; are you trying to say the Dragon King is a cannibal among the Dragon race?"

Su Xiao: "Exactly."

East Sea Dragon King: "The sacrifice is complete, and the Heavens have no objections. Dao Lord, can we begin?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Then let us begin."

PS: Thanks to 13061. for the tip, thanks to the big boss for the support.

Ji Yanran: "Indeed, one feels sorrow for one's own kind; when the rabbit dies, the fox mourns."

East Sea Long Wang: "No. I have already said, that vegetable dragon is fundamentally not of the same race as my dragon clan; it only resembles us in appearance, much like the relationship between a Ginseng Fruit and a human. Old Long Wang

I have also eaten the meat of a vegetable dragon, and I must say, it is indeed very delicious."

Su Xiao: "Wow, a dragon-eating clan!"

Ye Hei: "I'm dying of laughter, are you trying to say the Long Wang is a cannibal among the dragon clan?"

Su Xiao: "Exactly."

East Sea Long Wang: "The sacrifice is complete, and the Heavens have no objections. Lord Daoist, may we begin?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Then let us begin."
