Chapter 343 - The Joy of Not Being A Person (1/2)

The dragon race was really in a tragic situation this time…

Although the process of the Sea Eye ‘breaking the dam’ was not long, most of the dragon experts who were closest to the Sea Eye, who did not hesitate to pounce on the Sea Eye, and the dragons who were originally suppressing the Sea Eye were torn apart by the sea current.

It seemed that only ten to twenty percent of the dragon race had died. However, those who had died were the high-end combat power of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. After that battle, the strength of the East Ocean Dragon Palace had been greatly weakened. If the losses of the West Ocean Dragon Palace were included, the damage to the dragon race during the short battle, and the sudden disappearance of the largest dragon treasure vault in the East Ocean… The dragon race had suffered a huge loss. The good news was that one of the Sea Eyes that the dragon race needed to use their lives to suppress had been reduced. The power of the East Ocean Dragon Palace had been completely unsealed. Li Changshou stood in front of the metal rod and looked at the Sea Eye that was no longer a threat. His gaze was complicated. There was no need to find an excuse or push the blame to the dragon race for being too anxious after the Sea Eye was exposed. This time, he had lost to the Western Sect.

No matter how many schemes and tricks he had, he still lacked the power to turn the tide at the crucial moment…

That power could strengthen the Heavenly Courts to the point of being powerful enough to suppress the Saints.

He could also unleash the combat power of the Great Daoist Master and Fairy Yun Xiao in a short period of time…

“Water G.o.d.” The old Dragon King, who was dressed in a robe, walked behind Li Changshou and bowed deeply. Li Changshou turned around and hurriedly supported him. “What are you doing, Dragon King?”

The Dragon King said, “I don’t know what to say about you saving the line of succession of the East Ocean, Water G.o.d. However, if you have any requests in the future, please speak frankly. There are no taboos.”

“Dragon King, the great calamity is also a great fortune. The dragon race should learn a lesson from this matter.” Li Changshou changed the topic and asked, “How do you plan to deal with the Four Seas Immortal Flood Dragons, Dragon King?” “Ah.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed softly. There was a hint of helplessness in his dragon eyes. “There have been too many casualties today. Although the East Ocean’s eye is fine, the sins of the dragon race have yet to be resolved. Let them each swear an oath to never invade the Sea Eye. If anyone wants to leave, they can. If anyone wants to stay, they will be like a dragon.”

“That’s good.”

Li Changshou took out a jade token from his sleeve and handed it to the Dragon King of the East Ocean. “This metal rod was given to me by Emperor Da Yu. It was originally refined by Grand Supreme Elder. From the looks of it, it can be used as a treasure to seal the Sea Eye. I will leave it here. The Dragon Palace must safeguard it. There are nineteen strategies in this jade token. I just wrote them. If you find them useful, you can consider them.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the paper effigy carried Ao Yi and swam over from afar. He placed the unconscious Ao Yi in front of the Dragon King. “Please don’t blame me, Dragon King,” Li Changshou said in a low voice. “Ao Yi treats me as a brother. I can’t bear to see him suffer in the Sea Eye. Ao Yi did not escape on his own accord at the crucial juncture.”

“Thank you, Water G.o.d…”

The Dragon King wrapped Ao Yi in water and sent him to the elders who were waiting in the distance. The Dragon King sent a voice transmission. “We should…”

“I still have to express what I should,” Li Changshou replied via voice transmission. “Although His Majesty is a Heavenly Emperor, he does not take away merit just because he wants to. That is His Majesty’s acc.u.mulation over the years. I just heard from an elder that the East Ocean Dragon Palace’s treasure vault seems to have been robbed.” “Water G.o.d, don’t worry.” The old Dragon King sighed and said, “It’s just some acc.u.mulation of precious materials. There are two more treasure vaults in the East Ocean.”

Li Changshou nodded and said, “The Heavenly Courts will need armor and weapons next.” “Thank you for your advice, Water G.o.d!”

Li Changshou sent another voice transmission. “The two Fellow Daoists of Jie School have contributed greatly this time. There’s no need for the Dragon Palace to send any precious gifts. Remember to go to the Three-Immortal Island and the Luofu Cave to thank them in person later.”

“Of course.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean agreed. Li Changshou took out two bottles of recuperation Spirit Pills that he had refined and expressed his sincerity.

After the Dragon King thanked him, he handed the pills over. Li Changshou took his leave on the grounds that he still had to deal with the East Ocean tsunami…

It was not appropriate for him to observe such a sorrowful matter.

When Li Changshou used the Water Escape to rush to the surface of the sea, the dragons behind him bowed.

The Dragon King looked down at the jade token in his hand and injected his immortal power. Small words flew out from it.

“First Strategy For The Dragons: Quickly set up the Water G.o.d Deity Positions of the various Water G.o.ds in the South Continent. Take the initiative to ask the Heavenly Courts to restrict you with harsh rules. Make sure that you acc.u.mulate enough merit as soon as possible and fill up the Sea Eyes of the West Ocean, North Ocean, and South Ocean.”

“Second Strategy For The Dragons: Establish the Dragon Gate and pave the way for the dragons to advance.”

[Third Strategy For The Dragons]: Forge the Water Army and enter the Major Chiliocosm around the five continents…]

When Li Changshou left the East Ocean, Fairy Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and General Dongmu were waiting on the cloud. The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers had already been divided into dozens and rushed to the East Ocean Coast just in case. After explaining what they were going to do next, the four of them rode a cloud and easily caught up to the water line that was spreading towards the west… After thinking carefully, Li Changshou smiled at Zhao Gongming and said, “Brother, thank you. Please use the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl to absorb all the tsunamis in the East Ocean.” “It’s a small matter!”

Zhao Gongming smiled and did not suspect anything. He activated the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and sucked in all the water that had seeped out of the Sea Eye.

The entire process did not even result in any casualties.

After Zhao Gongming was done with that, he was about to return on a cloud when a huge golden cloud flew over from the sky. Half of the cloud went to look for the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers, while the other half floated above their heads.

Golden rays of light landed. Li Changshou, Zhao Gongming, Fairy Yun Xiao, and General Dongmu each obtained merit.

General Dongmu was not surprised. Li Changshou observed Zhao Gongming’s reaction. Fairy Yun Xiao took out the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and channeled a considerable amount of power of merit to it.

Li Changshou had obtained the most merit. His Golden Body of Merit took another small step forward. Secondly, Zhao Gongming obtained 80% of Li Changshou’s merit. At that moment, he was rather proud. He stroked his beard and smiled. “I can’t believe there will be a day when I gain merit.” Li Changshou reminded him, “Brother, don’t underestimate this merit. If you don’t have a Connate Cardinal treasure to protect yourself, you still need this merit to protect yourself. Only then can you avoid being schemed against by evil techniques!” Upon hearing Li Changshou’s serious tone, Zhao Gongming nodded and smiled. “Thank you for your concern, Brother. I’ll remember this.” Yun Xiao looked at her Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and pursed her lips. General Dongmu smiled and said, “Water G.o.d, I’ll go back and report to His Majesty. This time, the Water G.o.d has filled the Sea Eye, saved the dragon race, and protected the dignity of our Heavenly Courts. This is a great merit…”

“General Dongmu!”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Don’t go and congratulate His Majesty!” “Huh?”

General Dongmu was confused.

Li Changshou explained, “We actually lost in the East Ocean this time. The Dragon Palace suffered heavy losses, so did the Heavenly Courts. There’s nothing worth rejoicing for. I did not plan this well enough. I will go and ask His Majesty for forgiveness later.” “General Dongmu, just say that the Dragon Palace had been severely injured by the ferocious spirits. He would definitely blame the destruction of the Sea Eye on the Demonic Flood Dragon that had been tainted by the sea of blood. He would then ask His Majesty to give the order to investigate the ferocious spirits that had caused chaos in the East Ocean in the Three Realms. That will do.”

General Dongmu cupped his hands and said, “Water G.o.d, don’t worry. I will remember all of that. However, the situation today is clearly the Western Sect’s scheme. Why don’t we use righteousness to pressure the Western Sect?” “It’s useless to pressure them. They will only suffer a backlash from the Western Sect,” Li Changshou said seriously. “Moreover, without any evidence, how can you say that the Western Sect did it? There are some things that cannot be said.” Zhao Gongming muttered, “The Heavenly Courts have suffered such a huge loss. Are we just going to let it go? Changgeng, do you want me to go to the AparaG.o.dānīya Continent and stand up for Little Aunt-Master and you!?!” “Brother, you don’t have to do that.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The rise of the Heavenly Courts has to be based on experience. The Saint of the Western Sect is the Saint of our Dao Sect. Those ferocious spirits had obtained the Dragon Palace’s treasure vault today and had taken revenge on the dragon race and the Heavenly Courts. They would be quiet for a while later. This period of time is especially important to the Heavenly Courts.” “This is too infuriating!” Zhao Gongming was a little depressed. He wanted to continue, but Fairy Yun Xiao pursed her lips. “Big Brother, don’t cause trouble for him. This matter needs to be handled carefully.” Zhao Gongming immediately nodded. “Second Sister is right!”

At that moment, General Dongmu rushed to meet the Heavenly Soldiers with Li Changshou’s instructions and went to the Heavenly Courts to report. Yun Xiao saw that Li Changshou looked tired and said gently, “I’ll send you back to the mountain to rest first. I don’t know where Senior Brother Xuan Du has gone.” “Let me send you back. This place is not far from the Three-Immortal Island.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ll ask you to send me back to the Sea G.o.d Temple later.”

Yun Xiao nodded slightly. “You can rest on the Three-Immortal Island.”

“There are still many things to do.” Li Changshou’s smile gradually disappeared. “This time, we have to summarize the mistakes and avoid such loopholes in the future. This time, something happened to the dragon race. Next time, it might endanger me. I have to be vigilant.”

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Brother, you’re really stable.”

Li Changshou seemed to have thought of something and frowned. Yun Xiao looked up at the “old man” and seemed to be able to see through his transformation technique. When she saw the young man’s face, she did not look away for a moment. Zhao Gongming, who was behind the two of them, was speechless.
