Chapter 161: Leaving the Demon Domain Straight for the Coast, Crossing the Vast Ocean with the Dragon King's Secret Protection【3k】

Fang Longye was stunned by Pishamo's words, and he calculated the time.

Well, well!

So it was that the soul of the Great Han Qisheng had entered Youming.

In fact, according to the timeline of his past life, Han Jingdi should have kicked the bucket years ago.

If nothing had changed, it seemed this Han Jingdi had already returned to his place long ago.

One could only say that the Ashura side, led by Tie Shan, had been negligent and careless themselves.

"I said we should have buried some chess pieces within the territory of the Great Han Dynasty in Nanzhan Buzhou! Yet there were some stubborn old fools who felt there was no need."

"Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Secrets were obscured, if news from the mortal world had been transmitted, it would never have resulted in such a great blunder this time."

"Princess, Nanzhan Buzhou is the ancestral land of the Human Race; compared to the Dao and the Buddhist, it is not so easy for us Ashura to infiltrate."

Pishamo shook his head and explained.

Hearing her guard making excuses for those old fogies above, Tie Shan waved her hand, signaling him to say no more.

In her view, these so-called hardships were all just excuses.

It was clearly that some in the clan were too arrogant, looking down on the Human Race that had fallen into a low point after the First Emperor fought the heavens.

There was no helping it; this was a common ailment of the Ashura.

This kind of stubbornness in character was basically impossible to change, even after attaining the Great Luo.

This was also the reason why she, who was born with the three lineages of Brahma, Dao, and Demon intertwined, did not prioritize the Asura Demonic Path in her cultivation.

Both Brahma and Demon were too extreme, whereas the Daoist Dharma of the Profound Gate was balanced and upright, which best suited her heart.

Just at this moment, suddenly, a rift split open in the void for no reason.

A black lotus flew over gracefully, suffused with ghostly light, and low chanting sounds arose all around, expounding the true meaning of the Demonic Path.

As soon as it arrived at the Black Water Abyssal Sea, it suppressed the strange demonic power contained within out of thin air, simply because it was the true Demon among demons.

A black halo rose, as if demonic fire were attached to the lotus, burning fiercely. In the center of the black lotus was a cyan precious bead, shining with strange patterns that crisscrossed.

Then, it descended straight down, circling around Tie Shan, spinning and swaying.

Seeing this, a smile immediately appeared on Tie Shan's face, and she reached out to gather the swaying black lotus.

As she took hold of it, the black lotus dissipated, and the clear, secluded-colored bead it carried immediately sank into the center of her brow.

Her beautiful eyes closed slightly.

A short while later.

She opened her eyes, joy showing in her gaze, and she chuckled: "The matter is resolved! Father personally took action and taught the Human Race a lesson."

"Telling them to treat us Blood Sea Ashura as soft persimmons to be squeezed. Hmph!"

She then turned her head to look at Fang Longye, smiling yet not smiling: "This time, I was one move behind, and this Princess admits my skills were inferior. However, if we can meet again next time. Heh~"

She cast a 'you know what I mean' look at Fang Longye and immediately rode the Blood River up.

As Pishamo broke through space with a sweep of his scythe, they vanished into the darkness in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

Only the final sentence remained, echoing throughout the Black Water Abyssal Sea: "Don't count on your oath to bind me forever. Forgot to tell you, my father is the Zizaitian Pojun Mozhu."

"Young Master!"

"Master!"

Qingli and Ao Ying stood by Fang Longye's side; hearing Tie Shan's final message, both of them immediately looked at Fang Longye with worry in their eyes.

Even though both women knew their master's background was extraordinary.

They still could not help but feel anxious.

Fang Longye chuckled, looked at the two worried women, and laughed lightly: "Why that expression? It's not like you haven't seen the world. You've at least met the Randeng Gu Fo; are you scared by a single threat?"

"Young Master, that is no ordinary person! That is the Bojun Mozhu!"

Qingli's face was pale as she spoke.

That was the ruthless character who, when Tathagata Buddha attained the Dao, debated the Dharma to obstruct him and still managed to retreat unscathed.

He even declared to Tathagata: "When the Dharma-ending age arrives, I will have my disciples and grandchildren infiltrate your Sangha, wear your monk's robe, destroy your Buddhist Dharma, distort your scriptures, and break your precepts..."

And what was Tathagata's reaction upon hearing these words?

It was unknown.

In any case, this Bojun Mozhu became completely famous throughout the Honghuang after this battle.

Everyone said he was a great power of the Demonic Path who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Tathagata.

Most importantly, no matter what, figures like Randeng Gu Fo were righteous great powers on the surface; how could they compare to the terror of this Zizaitian Pojun Mozhu as a great power of the Demonic Path? Fang Longye waved his hand and said: "He is, after all, a big shot who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Tathagata Buddha; would he lower himself to the level of a junior like me?"

What's more, he had the confidence to make him his future father-in-law.

At the very least, one of them.

Seeing that their Young Master did not care at all, Qingli and Ao Ying composed themselves and soon returned to calm.

Fang Longye looked at this Black Water Abyssal Sea again, then said to Qingli and Ao Ying: "We have lingered long enough; it is time to go and find the opportunity and fortune for Ao Ying."

He was in a good mood, because although it was said to be the opportunity and fortune for the two women, it was actually related to him as well.

As the actual master of the two women, he would also have his own fortune descend upon him. This was the reason he was bent on helping the two women find their opportunity and fortune.

It sounded as if he, the master, was sharing in the opportunity and fortune of his servants.

But looking at it from another angle, it was also possible that it was precisely because of him, their master, that Qingli and Ao Ying had the possibility of obtaining such opportunity and fortune.

"Qingli, what are your plans? Do you intend to come with us, or stay here and slowly cultivate the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering Art'?"

Although the two rare treasures nurtured here had already been collected, the remaining essence blood and origin were still a rare opportunity for Qingli.

Qingli thought for a moment and said: "In a short time, I have no way to completely devour the essence blood and origin here; I will go with Young Master!"

In any case, Corpse Soul Ridge was right here, and she could come whenever she wanted.

Seeing that Qingli had made her decision, Fang Longye no longer hesitated and immediately took the two women with him, departing from this realm's space.

Following the guidance of Heavenly Secrets, they rode the clouds and mist as they went. ……

Cang Ming Guo.

The southeastern coastline.

Fang Longye, carrying the two women, stood atop the clouds and gazed toward the vast ocean.

The misty waves were vast, deep, and profound.

Water soaked in the colors of late autumn; the moon shone clear upon the waves.

Wild birds appeared and vanished, listening to the wind; sandpipers drifted, letting the rain buffet them.

It truly was boundless, with scenery born of its own accord.

Only—

Fang Longye frowned. Sensing the faint and flickering Heavenly Secrets, he thought to himself, this is the rhythm of having to drift across the ocean!

The location Fang Longye obtained through the vague sensing of Heavenly Secrets was unimaginably far from this place.

It was likely already far from the North Sea of Bei Zhou.

So be it!

Fang Longye thought, for the sake of reversing the Five Qi in the Chest, he would have to make a trip to the outer continents sooner or later.

Gazing at the distant Cang Ming, Fang Longye turned his head to look at Ao Ying beside him and smiled: "Do you want to return to the North Sea Longgong to see your family?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Ying felt a warmth in her heart. Looking at the gentle-faced Fang Longye, she shook her head and said: "Having entered the master's household, the master and all the sisters are my family. The North Sea Longgong is merely a thing of the past."

In the past, while she lacked nothing in terms of food, clothing, or cultivation resources at the North Sea Longgong, she never felt it was particularly warm there.

For one, there were too many Dragon Princes and Longnu in the North Sea Longgong, and familial affection had always been thin.

For another, due to her birth mother, her status in the North Sea Longgong had always been rather awkward.

Unless necessary, she would rather not go and disturb them.

It was enough that her master had this intention.

Seeing this, Fang Longye found nothing more to say. He immediately summoned his carriage, stepped into it, and urged the Bishui Jinjing Beast to head toward the depths of the vast ocean.

Ao Ying did not intend to disturb the North Sea Longgong, but the North Sea Dragon King had long since noticed Fang Longye's party arriving in the North Sea territory.

Naturally, Ao Shun attached great importance to this convenient son-in-law of his.

This was a golden nugget; once he reached the territory of their Four Seas Dragon Clan, he had to be well looked after.

Deep in the North Sea, at an unfathomable depth on the seabed, there stood a magnificent palace, all made of golden bricks and jade tiles, with precious doors and golden gates.

It covered countless acres, with no end in sight.

Under the bright light, one could see jade steps and golden stairs appearing one after another, with shrimp soldiers and crab generals standing guard, their armor bright and shining.

Small windows opened, curtains were drawn, and behind them, Clam Women and jade maidens danced gracefully, the sound of bells and drums weaving into a melody.

And in the central palace, the North Sea Dragon King was looking through a Mirror, speaking with his three brothers.

"Rest assured, brother! As for this treasure our Four Seas Dragon Clan has bet on, as long as he is on the sea, we will naturally look after him all the way. I guarantee his journey will be calm and smooth."

The West Sea Dragon King and the South Sea Dragon King both patted their chests in assurance.

Only the East Sea Dragon King smiled bitterly: "I do not have the energy for that. Isn't it a coincidence? I just happened to accept a task to look after someone as well."

The North Sea Dragon King frowned and said: "Can you not decline it?"

"The great powers above gave a strict order; not a single mistake is allowed. I truly cannot spare the energy," the East Sea Dragon King said helplessly.

"What kind of person is it? Such a big ego~" Before the North Sea Dragon King could speak, the South Sea Dragon King asked.

"A Monkey," the East Sea Dragon King said, keeping his words cryptic.

Seeing their eldest brother act this way, the three knew there was a great story behind this.

However, it was clear that it was not yet time for them to know about these matters.

It was just that their eldest brother had wide connections and could know some things in advance.

But it could only rot in his own stomach; there was no way to speak of it to the outside.

However, they were not without great figures they were connected to behind the scenes.

Later, they would just have to investigate properly.

Seeing that his brothers had received his hint, the East Sea Dragon King nodded immediately.

He continued: "Although I cannot look after him much, if he truly comes to the East Sea, I will tell my Turtle Prime Minister to protect him in secret."

The North Sea Dragon King nodded and said: "That is enough. On the East Sea, there are countless immortals and gods; if there really is any crisis, I fear those who understand this person's background will scramble to offer a helping hand."

"There is just one point: if this person really encounters a crisis, brother, you will have wasted an opportunity to befriend him for nothing."

The East Sea Dragon King waved his hand: "One cannot have both fish and bear's paw; there is no help for it."

Once these words were spoken, it made his three brothers even more curious about what kind of sacred being the Monkey the East Sea Dragon King was escorting was.

……

After some deliberation, the four Dragon Kings, without Fang Longye's knowledge, reached a consensus to secretly look after him while he drifted across the ocean.

Because of this, as Fang Longye traveled through the sky above the ocean, it was entirely calm and peaceful, without a single ripple.

Let alone storms, there was not even a trace of dark clouds; it was all good weather with clear skies and a gentle breeze.

Just like this, following the Heavenly Secrets, Fang Longye traveled through the North Ocean, entered the East Sea, and witnessed all kinds of magnificent scenery.

The position sensed by the Heavenly Secrets became increasingly clear, and before he knew it, he had already arrived from the outer sea to the prosperous interior of the East Sea.

Immortal Islands were everywhere, and from time to time, immortals and gods would flash by, some riding treasure carriages, some riding phoenixes or cranes, some sitting on treasure lotuses, some riding clouds, some riding mist, ……

They were endless and varied in posture.

Each had its own style.
