157.
A turbulent current flowed continuously, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) rapidly converging into a radiant purple spear, emanating a wildly powerful aura.
This overwhelming aura, like a raging tide threatening to engulf everything, exuded an invincible, supreme power. Beside the purple spear, Duan Yu sat cross-legged, his hands constantly forming various hand seals. Each seal produced a dragon's roar from the purple spear. Duan Yu and the purple spear were perfectly integrated, forming a strange magnetic field.
As he continuously refined the purple spear through hand seals, Duan Yu's heart burned ever brighter. From the information gleaned from the continuous refinement, he increasingly clearly sensed the power of the God-Slaying Spear. A wisp of the vast and profound primordial energy merged into Duan Yu's body during the refinement, causing another transformation in his spirit. A hint of primordial energy also subtly appeared in Duan Yu's aura.
"Chūchūchūchū..."
"Pōpōpō..."
Explosive sounds echoed continuously in the space. Though the sounds were soft, they clearly reached Duan Yu's ears.
Hearing the faint sounds, Duan Yu didn't pause at all, his hands continuing to form hand seals calmly. Suddenly, the purple spear trembled violently during the refining process, its overwhelming aura growing even stronger, accompanied by a deafening roar. A thunderous dragon's roar followed, the violent energy almost instantly engulfing Duan Yu. It was an aura that directly terrified Duan Yu's soul. If it weren't for the fact that his body already possessed a trace of the God-Slaying Spear's aura through the refining process, Duan Yu would have been in danger of his soul being scattered at this moment.
"Boom boom boom!"
The God-Slaying Spear vibrated incessantly, each vibration directly affecting Duan Yu's soul.
Duan Yu knew he was now in the most critical moment; if he couldn't survive, he would definitely be in danger of death.
Gritting his teeth, Duan Yu struggled to control his emotions, channeling all the true energy he could muster to continuously unleash refining hand seals.
The primordial energy that had merged into his body was also triggered at this moment, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt from his mouth.
"Blood Refinement!"
At this moment, Duan Yu resolutely chose Blood Refinement. If not for this circumstance, he would never have chosen this method. Although Blood Refinement was powerful in the refining process, it was considered a devious method in terms of its sacrificial techniques, as it was extremely taxing on the refiner.
However, Duan Yu couldn't care less about that at this moment. "In the beginning of heaven and earth, all things were divided into Yin and Yang. The Taiji was chaos, the primordial chaos began! In the vast universe, all things were initially formed. With a heart transcending the Heavenly Dao, I refine a weapon to slay gods and Buddhas. God-Slaying Spear, heed my command, merge!"
With the fusion of Duan Yu's grand vow and true words, the God-Slaying Spear, sensing Duan Yu's unwavering intent to kill gods and Buddhas, suddenly roared. It pulsed repeatedly, like someone deep in thought.
"God-Slaying Spear, I, Duan Yu, swear on my soul that as long as I, Duan Yu, live, I will transcend this heaven and earth, and I will never dishonor your name. I, Duan Yu, will trample all things in heaven and earth under my feet. The intent to kill gods and devour Buddhas will never be buried in my hands."
Duan Yu shouted softly while forming hand seals.
"Don't you still believe my words, God-Slaying Spear? What are you waiting for? Hear my command! Merge!"
Duan Yu spat out another mouthful of blood essence onto the God-Slaying Spear. He formed several more hand seals.
With the spitting out of Duan Yu's blood essence, the God-Slaying Spear erupted with an aura even stronger than before, leisurely spinning a few times in the air, and then shot directly into Duan Yu.
Duan Yu neither dodged nor evaded, letting the God-Slaying Spear pierce into him. The God-Slaying Spear pierced into Duan Yu's forehead.
As the God-Slaying Spear entered, Duan Yu suddenly felt his soul sublimate once more. The scene of Pangu creating the world appeared again. This was the third time Duan Yu had seen this scene, and this time his feeling was different from the previous two.
The phantom of Pangu wielded his axe to split the world, and even that slow initial swing gave Duan Yu boundless shock; it was a profound and mysterious feeling.
After only a slight comprehension, Duan Yu withdrew from that state. After withdrawing, Duan Yu shook his head and said, "I still can't grasp the profound meaning of that swing. My soul power is still insufficient. I don't know what kind of power that is, splitting the world. If one can split the world, one is naturally not subject to the control of the heavens. That is true transcendence of the heavens. The heavens and earth are created by oneself, so what can bind oneself?"
He gently extended his right hand, and the God-Slaying Spear appeared out of thin air in Duan Yu's hand. At this moment, the God-Slaying Spear had been completely refined by Duan Yu. Holding the God-Slaying Spear, Duan Yu felt a battle intent far exceeding that before. At this moment, it was even more powerful than the battle intent of the spear at the beginning.
Holding the spear, Duan Yu felt an involuntary surge of murderous intent, as if he were about to slay gods and Buddhas. Having made this grand vow, he naturally wouldn't go against his will. The Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise were places he was destined to return to conquer. If he couldn't defeat those who stood in his way, he couldn't even dream of a carefree life of chasing women.
After refining the God-Slaying Spear, Duan Yu then began refining the Golden Armor, the Phoenix-Winged Purple-Gold Crown, and the Lotus-Silk Cloud-Walking Shoes. While these were considered exquisite immortal artifacts, they paled in comparison to the God-Slaying Spear, making the refinement of these three items much faster.
Even so, it still took Duan Yu over a month to complete the refinement. After finally refining the Golden Armor, the Phoenix-Winged Purple-Gold Crown, and the Lotus-Silk Cloud-Walking Shoes, Duan Yu strolled out of the secret chamber. Not
long after he stepped out, the Turtle Prime Minister appeared before him. "Your Highness, you've come out!"
"Did the Turtle Prime Minister know I would come out today?"
Duan Yu asked the Turtle Prime Minister curiously.
"That's right, I, the old turtle, predicted it. Your Highness would come out today,"
the Turtle Prime Minister said.
"How did you know?" Duan Yu
asked, surprised.
"It's just one of my skills. In this world of divination and fortune-telling, I, the old turtle, am among the top three,"
the Turtle Prime Minister said with a smile.
"Oh, Turtle Prime Minister, you are so capable. I misjudged you,"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Not at all, I'm actually a lazy person. I can only calculate some minor matters concerning Your Highness. If it's about truly Your Highness, I can't calculate anything. I don't know why, but every time I carefully calculate Your Highness's life, all I get is chaos. I don't understand the meaning behind it,"
the Turtle Prime Minister said, looking at Duan Yu with fervor.
Feeling the Turtle Prime Minister's burning gaze, Duan Yu's face twitched involuntarily. Why did people nowadays like to look at others like that? Such a burning gaze was truly wicked and chilling!
"Prince Consort, let's go. The Dragon King is still waiting for you. Oh, and the princesses too,"
the Turtle Prime Minister called to Duan Yu.
"The princesses? You mean they already know everything?"
Duan Yu asked with a smile.
"That's right. From the moment you entered the secret chamber to refine your weapon, the Dragon King took care of everything. Both princesses know you're going to marry them!"
the Turtle Prime Minister said.
"And what was their reaction? Can you tell me, Prime Minister?"
Duan Yu asked.
"There wasn't much of a reaction. After all, both princesses are very well-behaved, leaving everything to the Dragon King's discretion. However, the younger princess, Ao Luan, did show a slight resistance,"
said the Turtle Prime Minister.
"So that means Ao Xue didn't object!"
Duan Yu said.
"Yes, even the Dragon King was surprised by this result. You don't know that among the two princesses, the younger princess, Ao Luan, is the most obedient, while the elder princess, Ao Xue, is more rebellious. But this time, Princess Ao Xue has developed a strong interest in you, Prince Consort, while the younger princess directly chose to decline,"
the Turtle Prime Minister said quietly. "These things are not something this old turtle should be saying. I hope you won't take it to heart, Prince Consort."
"How could I take it to heart? I'm grateful for your explanation, Prime Minister,"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Crystal Palace. As soon as Duan Yu entered the hall, he attracted the attention of more than a dozen people.
Among them, three pairs of eyes impressed Duan Yu the most—the eyes of three women. One woman watched with keen interest, another with a puzzled look, and the third with a hint of apology and confusion.
All three women were exceptionally beautiful. The woman with the keen interest wore a blue, shimmering fairy dress. She exuded an indescribable sexiness and allure. Her classically beautiful oval face looked as if she had stepped out of a classic manga; unlike the large eyes of ordinary beauties, her eyes were large and expressive, seemingly shimmering with water, as if constantly whispering secrets; her strong, straight nose possessed both feminine charm and a touch of masculine strength; her slightly thin, soft cherry lips were an almost transparent ruby red, so lustrous they seemed to intoxicate at first glance; her long, flowing, jet-black hair cascaded down, perfectly draped over her delicate shoulders…
The woman with the look of confusion was the one sitting next to the Dragon King. Duan Yu could guess without her saying it that she was the Dragon Mother.
She exuded an air of dignified elegance, with beautifully arched eyebrows and large, watery eyes; every smile and gesture revealed a noble and graceful demeanor. Beneath her gentle laughter lay an inscrutable charm. What a dignified and mature beauty!
The woman, carrying an air of apology, left Duan Yu with an impression of purity and sanctity! A long white dress gently clung to her perfect figure, her exquisite face bearing a serene smile. Her hands were like soft shoots, her face like a blooming hibiscus. She lowered her head, her cheeks radiating tranquility and a captivating mystery. One couldn't help but feel a surge of protectiveness. She was enveloped in an atmosphere of quiet, pure, and gentle beauty, like fresh spring snow or the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms in the cold winter, refreshing and evoking a myriad of emotions. Even a single glance from her would leave one with a soul-stirring, soul-stirring feeling. What a stunningly beautiful woman!
The three women's beauty completely captivated Duan Yu's attention. His gaze lingered briefly on them before settling on them. This was not the time to be impolite.
"Duan Yu greets the Dragon King, the Dragon King and Dragon Mother, and all the princes and princesses present!"
Duan Yu's gentle voice rang out.
"Nephew, no need for formalities, please sit down. Sit next to Luan'er,"
the Dragon King said, pointing to the only empty seat next to Ao Luan.
Seeing the Dragon King's arrangement, Duan Yu and the Dragon King exchanged a knowing glance. The Dragon King's arrangement was clearly designed for
Duan Yu, as his seat was precisely between Ao Luan and Ao Xue. Anyone with eyes could understand the implication. The dragon princes present remained silent, each drinking their wine. Some smiled at Duan Yu, some stared coldly at him, and others were indifferent and hostile. Duan Yu returned each of them a warm smile.
The Dragon Princes were all arrogant, and they couldn't understand why Duan Yu was allowed to sit next to his two beloved sisters, Ao Xue and Ao Luan.
Seeing Duan Yu sit down, Ao Xue and Ao Luan's expressions differed. Ao Xue looked at Duan Yu curiously, her eyes filled with astonishment and inquiry. Duan Yu returned a meaningful look to Ao Xue, prompting her to meet his gaze. Sparks seemed to fly between their eyes.
Their eye contact didn't last long, only a few seconds, but those few seconds of eye contact and their actions were completely observed by the other princes.

"Now that my nephew has emerged from seclusion, I have something to announce today,"
the Dragon King said, his majestic gaze sweeping over the crowd below. "I intend to betroth both Ao Xue and Ao Luan to my nephew at the same time."
"Boom..."
The expressions of the princes and sea generals below changed. Although rumors had already circulated that Princesses Ao Luan and Ao Xue would be betrothed to this human cultivator, they were still shocked when the Dragon King formally announced it.
"Dragon King... this..."
A Canaan general wearing silver armor with several ferocious tails stood up and said hesitantly.
"General Xu, is there a problem? Please speak freely."
The Dragon King's eyes narrowed.
"Reporting to my king, the two princesses are of noble birth, princesses of my sea race. To marry them so hastily to a human cultivator seems inappropriate to me."
The Canaan general said respectfully.
"Is that so? Does anyone else think it's inappropriate?"
The Dragon King smiled and glanced around.
“Your Majesty, we also feel this is inappropriate. The princesses are, after all, members of our sea race. To marry a human cultivator like this is truly ill-considered.”
Several generals exchanged glances and stood up.
Seeing the generals rise, none of the princes present stood up, not even those who harbored hostility towards Duan Yu. They understood perfectly well that since their father had made this proposal, there was no point in discussing it further. Although the Dragon King seemed much more decadent over the past few centuries, his own sons knew best what kind of person their father truly was—a cunning and ruthless strategist.
“General Xia, General Xie, and General Xu… you don’t need to say anything more. I have already made my decision on this matter. It cannot be changed.”
The Dragon King showed no anger at the generals’ admonitions, only speaking with authority.
“Dragon King…”
The generals hesitated, unable to speak.
"Alright, alright, didn't you see that neither Ao Luan nor Ao Xue refused? The matter is settled then. From now on, my nephew Duan will be the son-in-law of my Dragon Palace in the East Sea."
The Dragon King said with a smile.
"Yes, Dragon King!"
Hearing the Dragon King's words, the generals could only sit down and drink their sorrows in silence. They couldn't understand what the Dragon King saw in this human cultivator. Although he was an Earth Immortal, as generals of the East Sea Dragon Palace, none of them were weaker than Earth Immortals.
"Father, Ao Luan has something to say!"
Ao Luan suddenly stood up, her clear voice ringing out.
"Oh, what does Ao Luan want to tell her father?"
The Dragon King smiled kindly.
"Father, your daughter doesn't want to marry!"
Ao Luan's voice was soft, but undeniably firm.
"My dear daughter, aren't you putting your father in a difficult position? Don't worry, your father would never harm his daughter. You should still marry your nephew Duan,"
the Dragon King said.
"Father, Ao Luan still doesn't want to marry,"
Ao Luan said firmly again.
"Then, Ao Luan, can you tell me why?"
the Dragon King asked with a smile.
"The consort I need must at least be able to defeat me,"
Ao Luan said seriously.
Hearing Ao Luan's words, a look of surprise appeared on the Dragon King's face. Not only him, but even the princes present were all astonished. If Ao Xue had said these words, they wouldn't have found it strange at all. What was strange was that their most delicate younger sister would say such a thing.
Ao Xue looked at her sister with the same surprise. She realized that she seemed to not understand her sister anymore. Had her sister changed her personality? Ao Xue thought blankly.
"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss. Don't underestimate your nephew Duan just because he only has the cultivation of a terrestrial immortal. If he were to truly face you, he would definitely be able to defeat you,"
the Dragon King said kindly.
Hearing the Dragon King's words, Ao Luan's expression changed slightly. She said softly, "Father, what you said is true."
"Of course, a king's
word is law. How could your father lie to you?" the Dragon King said solemnly .
"Since that's the case, Father, could you allow Duan Yu and me to fight once?"
Ao Luan said equally solemnly.
"This..."
A look of difficulty appeared on the Dragon King's face.
"Duan Yu is willing to try!"
Duan Yu stood up and said.
"Since my nephew Duan has spoken, then you two shall have a match. However, swords have no eyes, so you must stop when you've made your point. Also, the match should be held in seven days. Is Father Ao Luan's decision inappropriate?"
the Dragon King said, looking around before staring at Ao Luan.
"Your daughter will obey Father's orders."
Ao Luan's soft voice rang out.
"Then it's settled. Ao Xue, your sister has made her decision, so tell your father your thoughts as well."
the Dragon King said, looking at Ao Xue.
"Father, Ao Xue has no particular thoughts, but I want Duan Yu to stay with me these few days."
Ao Xue said.
The Dragon King nodded with a slight surprise, "Yes, no problem. Nephew, don't you agree?"
The Dragon King was actually quite puzzled at this moment. From the very beginning when he discussed this matter with Ao Xue and Ao Luan, the two women displayed completely different personalities, making the Dragon King wonder if it was just his imagination. And today, it was still the same, which made the Dragon King even more suspicious. Had the two women's personalities changed?
"Yes!"
Duan Yu nodded with a smile. Although he wasn't sure what Ao Xue wanted to do, he had no reason to refuse.
After the banquet, the sea generals all left. Some congratulated Duan Yu, while others watched coldly. But regardless of their attitude, all the sea generals were very polite to Duan Yu at this time.
After the banquet, the Dragon King and the Dragon Mother also left under some pretext, leaving only Duan Yu, Ao Xue, and Ao Luan in the main hall.
Seeing this, how could Duan Yu not understand? It seemed that the Dragon King had created this opportunity for him!
Watching the Dragon King leave, Ao Xue suddenly stood up, stretched, and grinned at Duan Yu, saying, "Duan Yu, I'm quite curious about you. Tell me how you cultivated to the level of an Earth Immortal in such a short time, and more importantly, how you caused the heavens and earth to tremble. Logically speaking, someone with the cultivation of an Earth Immortal shouldn't be able to shake the heavens and earth. Are you perhaps a chosen one like the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"
"Chosen one! I don't think so,"
Duan Yu retorted, shrugging. "Is that why you agreed to this marriage?"
"Who said I agreed?"
Ao Xue giggled.
"So that's what you were planning. You wanted me to cancel the marriage, didn't you?"
Duan Yu said, amused. After a moment's thought, he understood Ao Xue's intentions.
“Smart people are easy to talk to. Father’s decision this time is clearly firm, so of course I won’t contradict him to his face. But Ao Luan, you’ve really surprised me this time,”
Ao Xue said with a smile.
“Duan Yu, do you really want to marry me?”
Ao Luan didn’t answer Ao Xue’s question but stared blankly at Duan Yu.
“Of course, do you think I would lie?”
Duan Yu smiled.
“Although I don’t know why you want to marry me, what I told Father just now was true. If you can really beat me, then I will willingly marry you. Otherwise, don’t come and disrupt my life,”
Ao Luan said softly.
“Don’t worry, I, Duan Yu, am an absolutely trustworthy person. Ao Luan, prepare to be my wife,”
Duan Yu smiled.
"That's not necessarily true. Although I don't know what your abilities are, since Father King speaks so highly of you, I believe you must have extraordinary skills. But I must tell you, you'd better be careful. My master is Taiyi Zhenren. I also have abilities that Father King doesn't know about. I hope that if you can't withstand it, you can admit defeat, because I have a magical artifact that I can't control myself,"
Ao Luan said softly. From Ao Luan's words, Duan Yu could clearly feel her kindness. Although he didn't know why Ao Luan insisted on refusing him, it was absolutely impossible for her to give up.
"Don't worry, that won't happen,"
Duan Yu said domineeringly.
"Then we'll talk about it later. Second Sister, you and Duan Yu chat. I'm a little tired, so I'll go down first,"
Ao Luan said leisurely.
"Okay, you go down first. I'll stay here and chat with him,"
Ao Xue nodded.
Ao Luan bowed to Duan Yu and then left. Duan Yu's gaze lingered on Ao Xue's departing figure, a smile playing on his lips.
"What are you still looking at? She's gone,"
Ao Xue said.
"I wasn't looking at anything. You all seem quite curious about Ao Luan's actions,"
Duan Yu said.
"Indeed, this time it really surprised me. Given Ao Luan's personality, it's unbelievable that she chose to fight you. And, Ao Luan is actually Taiyi's disciple! If I hadn't heard it from her today, I probably wouldn't have known for a long time. It seems my sister has many secrets."
Ao Xue's eyes showed obvious surprise.
"Everyone has their own secrets. There's nothing surprising about that. Just like your actions now, aren't they? Look how surprised your father is,"
Duan Yu shrugged.
"This is different. I've thought this through carefully. You don't know, although my father usually dotes on us, he can be quite intimidating when he's serious. That's why I came up with this plan. How about it, Duan Yu, cooperate with me in a little play? If you help me, I'll arrange some magical treasures for you so you can defeat my sister,"
Ao Xue said with a grin.
"No way! How could I bear to give you up?" Duan
Yu said with a mischievous smile.
"Don't you think you're being too greedy? Look, if you help me, you're destined to have a beautiful wife. Isn't my sister pretty enough?"
Ao Xue said.
"Of course she's beautiful, but you're also very beautiful. If I were to give you up for someone else, wouldn't I be an idiot? The best way is to have both,"
Duan Yu said.
"Be careful not to be too greedy and end up with neither,"
Ao Xue said with a smile, her expression unchanged.
"Whether I'll end up with neither or not, I've never even considered that,"
Duan Yu said.
"It seems you're very confident in yourself,"
Ao Xue said, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"I'm not entirely confident, but I know myself quite well. If I were the kind of person who easily gives up on women, I wouldn't have come to this place in the first place. For me, roaming the world freely and pursuing beauty is my lifelong pursuit,"
Duan Yu said.
"Roaming the world freely and pursuing beauty!"
Ao Xue's eyes flashed with a strange light as she looked at Duan Yu with interest and chuckled softly, "Hehehe... Saying that makes me even more interested in you. It seems that even if I can't marry you, at least we can be friends for a while, so I shouldn't be too bored."

Duan
Yu smiled and said, "Bored? I don't think so. Ao Xue, you'll be my wife."
"Although your tone is domineering, that won't do,"
Ao Xue said with a soft laugh.
Duan Yu didn't want to dwell on that topic any longer. "How about we go for a walk? I've been in the Dragon Palace for so long, and I haven't really explored it properly."
"Since you want to explore, then come with me,"
Ao Xue said with a smile.
"Thank you very much!"
Duan Yu said, shrugging.
The two immediately walked out of the Crystal Palace, chatting and laughing. When the shrimp soldiers and crab generals saw Duan Yu and Ao Xue talking and laughing, their expressions changed. They all thought to themselves, "It seems this human cultivator is really going to become a prince consort."
The Crystal Palace felt very familiar to Duan Yu; its postmodern architecture reminded him of modern lifestyles. Looking at everything in the Crystal Palace, Duan Yu suddenly shook his head with a sigh.
"Why are you shaking your head? Isn't it beautiful here?"
Ao Xue asked leisurely.
"No, I'm just a little sentimental. It's been a long time since I've seen a scene like this,"
Duan Yu said.
"From what you're saying, you've seen something similar before!"
Ao Xue asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's right!"
Duan Yu nodded.
"Oh, I'm quite curious where you've seen it. Is there another Crystal Palace in this world?"
Ao Xue said.
Duan Yu shook his head and said, "It's not that there's a similar crystal palace, but rather that this kind of architecture feels familiar to me."
"Just architecture? I thought it was something else! There are many such buildings, of course. Take the Heavenly Court, for example; its architecture is basically the same as our Dragon Palace, except our Dragon Palace is underwater,"
Ao Xue said with a smile.
"Since your sister is a disciple of Taiyi, do you also have the same secret?"
Duan Yu suddenly asked.
"Why did you ask that?"
Ao Xue's eyes flashed with a strange light as she smiled.
"I just felt that you shouldn't be so simple,"
Duan Yu shrugged.
"That's not necessarily true. Am I not allowed to be ordinary?"
Ao Xue chuckled.
"Others may be ordinary, but as a princess of the Dragon Clan, can you be ordinary…"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Why not? I'm living a carefree life all alone now. Of course, I need your cooperation now. Look, since you've brought this up again, can you agree to my earlier suggestion? What's wrong with cooperating with me?"
Ao Xue said with a grin.
"Then what's wrong with you being with me? Am I ugly enough to be unattractive?"
Duan Yu said, touching his face.
"It's not that. You are indeed quite handsome, but don't you think it would be better if we just got together? You see, you don't know what kind of personality I have, and I don't know what kind of character you have either. Being together is destined to have conflicts,"
Ao Xue said with a smile.
"Just because you don't understand now doesn't mean you won't understand in the future. I, Duan Yu, have no personality to explain. I'm just a bit of a womanizer,"
Duan Yu said, shrugging.
"Womanizer? You dare to say that to my face! Aren't you afraid I'll get angry? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Father about this!"
Ao Xue stared at Duan Yu.
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't have said it. I dare to do it and I dare to admit it. Since I'm going to be frank about my personality, of course I won't be pretentious,"
Duan Yu said nonchalantly.
"I think you know Father won't mind. You men are all womanizers, including Father. You all like having multiple wives and concubines. I really don't know what you're thinking,"
Ao Xue said.
“A beautiful lady is a gentleman’s ideal! The love of beauty is in every man’s nature; we’re just being genuine,”
Duan Yu said.
“I won’t waste any more time with you. Let’s go see the beauty of the East Sea,”
Ao Xue rolled her eyes at Duan Yu and darted forward.
Duan Yu immediately followed Ao Xue, seeing many beautiful sights along the way. The seabed was indeed a mysterious place, with its strangely shaped corals, colorful seashells, and shimmering underwater scenery. Slowly swimming sea turtles and swiftly darting swordfish! Everything seemed like a fairytale, something Duan Yu had never imagined before.
“Hehehe. Come on, let’s play on the swordfish’s back for a while,”
Ao Xue said to Duan Yu with a grin, looking at a large swordfish.
“Okay, let’s go,”
Duan Yu replied. He and Ao Xue immediately climbed onto the swordfish’s back.
The two sat atop a swordfish. Ao Xue smiled gently. "When I was little, my sister and I often played underwater. These sea creatures were our playmates. It's been so long since we played like this. Since growing up, everything seems to have changed. I wish I could stay like I was as a child forever."
"Many things can't be controlled by emotions. We must grow up, we must adapt to everything,"
Duan Yu said softly.
"Is that so? Maybe. But growing up brings so many troubles. I understand Father's thoughts, but sometimes I really don't want to do what he says,"
Ao Xue said softly.
Hearing this, Duan Yu suddenly pulled Ao Xue into his arms. Ao Xue trembled, looking at Duan Yu in surprise, and said sweetly, "Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't be Duan Yu,"
Duan Yu said, holding Ao Xue close to her ear.
"Hehehe...you're quite naughty indeed."
Ao Xue giggled and pulled away from Duan Yu's embrace.
"Alright, Ao Xue, tell me, what's the meaning of bringing me here?"
Duan Yu suddenly asked Ao Xue with a smile.
At this moment, both of them had disembarked from the swordfish's back, surrounded by coral and various sea cucumbers!
"How did you discover that I deliberately brought you here?"
Ao Xue asked in surprise.
"I don't believe that the dignified Princess of Longhai would be so sentimental,"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Hehehe..."
Ao Xue chuckled softly, "So that's why. Alright, Duan Yu, let's be frank, I really don't want to marry you."
"That's not up to you to decide, anyway, you haven't refused your father's words,"
Duan Yu said.
Ao Xue frowned slightly and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"Kill me!..."
Duan Yu chuckled softly, "If you can kill me, it'll just be my bad luck, but my life isn't something just anyone can take."
"Hmph. Really... then take this."
Ao Xue finished speaking, and a long sword suddenly appeared in her hand. She slashed at Duan Yu.
Duan Yu dodged the attack, his right hand flashing out a hand seal.
Ao Xue cried out, and the long sword in her hand suddenly burst forth with several beams of light, splitting from a single sword into hundreds upon hundreds.
Seeing Ao Xue's attack, Duan Yu coldly snorted in the air. The God-Slaying Spear appeared in his hand. With the appearance of the God-Slaying Spear, Duan Yu's body emanated a ferocious aura of a war god. With the spear in hand, he was like a monstrous killing god.
With a casual flick of the spear, the thousands of sword shadows vanished instantly.
A look of surprise appeared on Ao Xue's face: "What grade of weapon is that?"
"It's called Godslayer!"
Duan Yu said calmly.
"Godslayer! Such a domineering name. I'll see if it can actually slay a god."
Ao Xue snorted. Suddenly, she formed several hand seals. The surrounding seawater suddenly formed several water dragons that swept towards Duan Yu.
Duan Yu's spear transformed, flicking out several spear flowers, shattering the water like scraps of paper. After
disintegrating the water dragons, Duan Yu suddenly lunged forward, his spear leaving a trail of afterimages.
Ao Xue's expression changed slightly. Duan Yu was clearly only at the Earth Immortal level, but his attack was far beyond her expectations.
Ao Xue stretched out her left hand, and a circle of light appeared in her palm. She uttered a soft incantation, and the circle of light grew larger out of thin air, attacking Duan Yu.
Seeing the approaching circle of light, Duan Yu let out a long roar, emanating an overwhelming domineering aura from his body. With a swift movement of his spear, the light circle was deflected.
But the light circle, barely deflected, flew back from the other side, attacking Duan Yu again.
Ao Xue's hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, and she added her longsword to the attack.
Longsword, light circle, and water dragon! Three different attacks, three different attacks, completely overwhelmed Duan Yu.
"Boom..."
"Puff... Puff..."
Various explosions rang out.
Duan Yu shook his head, and his golden armor, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes instantly appeared on his body. With the addition of the golden armor, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, Duan Yu's aura intensified. The God-Slaying Spear and his golden armor, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes shone brightly, their dazzling light completely enveloping Duan Yu.
A boundless battle intent erupted, accompanied by a powerful "Zha!"
incantation.
"Boom..."
The light circle shattered, the longsword was deflected again, and the water dragon vanished instantly.
Ao Xue stared blankly at the domineering Duan Yu, his wicked smile making her blush inexplicably.
It wasn't that she looked down on Duan Yu, but rather that she shared the same thought as her sister: her husband absolutely could not be someone weaker than herself.
When Duan Yu donned his golden armor, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and wielded the God-Slaying Spear, his image as an unparalleled war god instantly filled Ao Xue's heart. For the first time, Ao Xue realized that perhaps her decision was somewhat wrong; wasn't this the husband she had always dreamed of?
"What are you looking at!"
Duan Yu suddenly appeared beside Ao Xue, hugging her tightly with a mischievous grin.
"Looking at you. How can you be so powerful? Don't you even know how to give way a little?"
Ao Xue retorted playfully.
"If I gave way, wouldn't my beautiful wife run away?"
Duan Yu said with a wicked smile.
"I'm not your beautiful wife!"
Ao Xue rolled her eyes at Duan Yu. "My father is really generous! He gave you the last set of golden armor, phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes."
"Hehe, all of this is thanks to my father-in-law's kindness," Duan Yu
said with a smile.
"You shameless thing, I haven't even agreed yet,"
Ao Xue said with a huff.
"Wasn't that enough to pass the test?" Duan Yu
said with a smile.
Ao Xue blushed and said, "No, your strength was up to par, but you weren't gentle enough with me, you didn't even give me a little leeway."
Duan Yu smiled mischievously, and to Ao Xue's surprise, he suddenly kissed her small lips. Ao Xue's face instantly turned bright red. Her delicate body, held by Duan Yu, reached out and punched him.
Duan Yu himself had experienced this situation countless times, how could he give up so easily? This little girl had been scheming against him from the beginning, and he would be letting himself down if he didn't conquer her now.

With a
domineering kiss, Duan Yu's hands had already climbed onto Ao Xue's fiery body. Touching Ao Xue's devilishly beautiful body, Duan Yu's heart burned with boundless passion.
Back in modern times, Duan Yu had always envied Xu Xian, that guy, because he dared to sleep with a snake. But now, Duan Yu was quite proud of himself, because he was about to sleep with a dragon!
A proud expression rose on Duan Yu's face, and his hands had already completely climbed onto Ao Xue's large, full, and firm breasts.
Suddenly attacked, Ao Xue's expression changed. But under Duan Yu's caresses, Ao Xue had no strength left.
As Duan Yu's kneading entered Ao Xue's body, a strange sensation, an indescribable mystery, Ao Xue suddenly discovered that her two shy nipples had stood erect under Duan Yu's kneading.
A blush rose on Ao Xue's face. Her watery eyes looked shyly at Duan Yu.
Her delicate tongue had already been captured by Duan Yu's large tongue!
Duan Yu's hands gently slid over Ao Xue's fragrant shoulders, through her pink back, and down to her pert buttocks. Duan Yu carefully measured everything about Ao Xue's mysterious beauty.
"Duan Yu..."
Ao Xue murmured softly, her face flushed with shyness. Her hand gently grasped Duan Yu's sliding hand.
Seeing Ao Xue's resistance, Duan Yu mischievously guided her hand, causing it to roam freely over her delicate body!
A strange emotion appeared on Ao Xue's face! Ao Xue's heart pounded wildly! When she felt a firm object pressing against her lower body, Ao Xue's cheeks flushed even more. At this moment, Ao Xue's expression held a hint of contradiction. Was she going to lose her virginity like this?!
That alluring yet shy scene, this blushing and charming sight, filled Duan Yu with immense love.
His hand no longer hesitated, gently sliding into Ao Xue's body. It lightly roamed over her pink skin, slowly climbing up her proud breasts.
When Duan Yu's hand made full contact with her breasts, Ao Xue murmured again, her body completely limp in Duan Yu's arms.
Duan Yu grinned mischievously at the beauty in his arms, then cast several hand seals around them. A flash of light, and Duan Yu and Ao Xue disappeared into the sea.
Actually, they didn't disappear; Duan Yu had simply concealed them using a sealing technique.
He gently kissed Ao Xue's face, then skillfully removed her clothes. Ao Xue hesitated slightly, but under Duan Yu's gentle kisses, she quickly gave up all struggle.
Her clothes were removed, even her panties were taken off by Duan Yu. Ao Xue shyly closed her eyes.
Seeing this dragon maiden, Duan Yu had no more hesitation. He quickly removed his own clothes, his erect member standing tall and firm. Under Ao Xue's shy gaze, he gently pushed his erect member into her deep valley.
The intrusion of a foreign object! Ao Xue's expression changed slightly, but as a dragon maiden, her physique was different from that of mortals.
With just a slight frown, Ao Xue clearly felt the exquisite sensation of that foreign object!
Duan Yu was incredibly excited! This was the first dragon maiden he had slept with, and also the first fairy he had encountered on Tianlong Mountain. Just thinking about it made Duan Yu's erection even stronger!
His hands roamed freely over Ao Xue's perfect, delicate body, especially her fair, goddess-like breasts, which Duan Yu lingered on.
Soft moans escaped from Ao Xue's nose! Ao Xue's expression was extremely alluring! Her slender jade hands lay helplessly to the side.
Duan Yu moved gently! Each thrust, though seemingly gentle, actually penetrated deeply into Ao Xue's deepest depths!
The pleasure of thrusting quickly flooded Ao Xue's mind. Ao Xue couldn't help but let out seductive moans from her mouth and nose. "Mmm...mmm...mmm...ah...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...mmm...ah...mmm...mmm...ah..." Gradually, she became unaccustomed to the gentle thrusting. Ao Xue, blushing shyly, began to actively let Duan Yu thrust forcefully.
"Mmm...mmm...Yu Lang...Ao Xue...Ao Xue...It's so itchy...Do it harder...Ao Xue...It's so itchy...Ao Xue...I want it so bad!"
With these seductive moans, Duan Yu immediately began to thrust heavily.
"Ah...that's it...mmm...Yu Lang...Prince Consort...Ao Xue...Ao Xue...Isn't it shameless..."
Ao Xue moaned seductively, her face filled with boundless shyness.
"How could it be? My little darling, this is just a normal reaction. Enjoy your husband's love."
Duan Yu kissed Ao Xue's lips and suddenly accelerated!
His large penis thrust in and out of Ao Xue's body relentlessly! Ao Xue's face was extremely seductive! Even a god would be moved by that alluring look!
With Duan Yu's words, Ao Xue immediately began to moan even more seductively!
"Ah...ah...uh...uh...ah...I'm here...ah...husband...so strong...so amazing...ah...Ao Xue...Ao Xue...I love you...I love you to death...ah...I'm here again!"
The moans continued unabated as Duan Yuan relentlessly pounded into Ao Xue's body, conquering new territories and utterly overwhelming her!
At this moment, Ao Xue, experiencing the ways of the world for the first time, was no match for Duan Yu. However, she was, after all, a dragon maiden! She possessed a physique far beyond that of ordinary people. Even though she was already overwhelmed, her smooth, boneless body still provided Duan Yu with pleasure far beyond what ordinary people could match.
Under the surge of passion, coupled with Ao Xue's exquisite touch, Duan Yu was far less powerful than usual, and soon he ejaculated his essence into Ao Xue's body. However, Duan Yu's endurance remained as strong as ever! Having just fired his bullet, Duan Yu's erection rose again, once again driving Ao Xue to the brink of despair! From those alluring little mouths came soft, seductive moans!
Boundless romance! The allure of spring! The passionate pleasure unfolded relentlessly! When the wind and rain ceased, Ao Xue had already obediently nestled in Duan Yu's arms.
Ao Xue blushed, her beautiful face pressed tightly against Duan Yu's, her large, watery eyes gazing intently at him.
"Yu Lang, Ao Xue..."
Ao Xue's voice was filled with infinite shyness.
"What do you want to say?"
Duan Yu asked, sliding his fingers over Ao Xue's delicate body.
Ao Xue suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Nothing, Ao Xue just thinks it's quite nice to be with Yu Lang."
"Is that all?"
Duan Yu mischievously pinched Ao Xue's breast.
Ao Xue blushed and said shyly, "Of course not entirely. The reason Ao Xue doesn't want you to be my consort is because Ao Xue also doesn't want her husband to be weaker than me. After the test just now, I already know my husband's strength."
Duan Yu kissed Ao Xue's lips and said, "I told you long ago that you couldn't escape my grasp. Now you know how good I am, right?"
Duan Yu grinned mischievously.
"Mmm..."
Ao Xue glanced at Duan Yu shyly and said, "You're so naughty."
"How could I get you if I wasn't naughty?"
Duan Yu didn't mind Ao Xue's words.
"What level of weapon was that spear you used just now?"
Ao Xue asked softly.
"Which spear!"
Duan Yu asked with a double meaning.
"Hmm...don't tease Ao Xue. Tell me, what grade was that purple spear you used when you fought with Ao Xue just now?"
Ao Xue asked shyly. Ao Xue really wanted to know what grade that spear was.
"It should be considered a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, right?"
Duan Yu asked, a little confused himself.
"Should be? You don't even know yourself?"
Ao Xue asked in surprise.
Duan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know. This thing was given to me by my father-in-law. I only got it recently."
"What? It was given to you by my father-in-law? I didn't know that our Dragon Clan had such a powerful weapon."
Ao Xue asked with surprise.
"There are many things you don't know."
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Oh, is there anything else I don't know?"
Ao Xue's face showed great interest.
"Want to know?"
Duan Yu grinned mischievously.
"Yes, I want to know."
Ao Xue nodded.
"Then I'll tell you in your boudoir tonight."
Duan Yu said with a mischievous smile, pinching Ao Xue's breasts.
"Hmm..."
Ao Xue blushed and gave Duan Yu a shy look.
After joking around for a while, the two put on their own clothes. Once dressed, Ao Xue once again transformed into her charming and alluring self. She chuckled softly.
"What are you laughing at?" Duan Yu asked, puzzled. "I'm laughing because it seems my little sister won't escape your grasp this time either!" Ao Xue said. "Of course! But judging from Ao Luan's words, perhaps she really does possess abilities we don't understand," Duan Yu said
calmly . "Taiyi Zhenren is indeed quite powerful in the Immortal Realm; even Nezha is Taiyi's disciple. I think my little sister might possess the Zhuxian Sword," Ao Xue analyzed. "You also know Taiyi has the Zhuxian Sword?" Duan Yu asked in surprise. "Of course, who doesn't know about the Zhuxian Sword Formation from the Investiture of the Gods?" Ao Xue said with a smile. "Actually, I didn't know!" Duan Yu said, shrugging. "Hehe, so you didn't know. Hehehe, if you don't know, let me tell you. Back then, King Zhou was tyrannical. He dared to blaspheme the goddess Nuwa, so Nuwa was furious and sent down divine punishment, causing the great war of the Investiture of the Gods during the Shang Dynasty. This Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was an absolute trump card back then!" Ao Xue giggled at Duan Yu and then said seriously. "I do know a little about the Investiture of the Gods, but I don't understand just how powerful this Immortal Slaughtering Sword is. Whatever, with the God-Slaying Spear in hand, I don't think I'll lose to you, Ao Luan." Duan Yu shrugged. "You, you're just so domineering. Let's go back. We've been out for so long, I wonder what those shrimp soldiers and crab generals are saying!" Ao Xue chuckled. "Say what? What's there to say? They'll just say you're following me!" Duan Yu hugged Ao Xue and said with a mischievous smile. "Hmm...you always bully me." Ao Xue gently stroked Duan Yu's handsome face with her slender hand. "Yu Lang, you need to be careful of my brothers. Although they seem very friendly now, if you really marry us, they will definitely test you." Ao Xue said seriously. "I know that without you saying it. How could I not understand from the way my brothers-in-law act!" Duan Yu shrugged. Ao Xue shook her head. "My brothers are very arrogant. They didn't say anything this time because of Father's coercive measures, but when they really come after you, they won't show any mercy. Just be careful then. I believe you won't have any problems with your strength." "Then thank you for reminding me, my little wife!" Duan Yu hugged Ao Xue and kissed her cheek. This earned him another playful scolding from Ao Xue! The two bickered and teased each other all the way, finally walking hand in hand into the Crystal Palace, leaving the shrimp soldiers and crab generals dumbfounded! They all secretly wondered if their eyes were playing tricks on them. This progress was too fast! Meanwhile, as soon as Duan Yu and Ao Xue returned to the Crystal Palace, the Dragon King had already received the news. When the Dragon King learned that the two had entered the Crystal Palace hand in hand, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Prime Minister Turtle, go and summon the Prince Consort," the Dragon King said to the Turtle Prime Minister beside him. "Yes, Your Majesty!" the Turtle Prime Minister replied respectfully. He immediately went to fetch Duan Yu. Duan Yu returned not long before seeing the Turtle Prime Minister coming to summon him. Duan Yu immediately smiled; he understood the Dragon King's meaning perfectly. In fact, from the moment he led Ao Xue into the Crystal Palace, Duan Yu knew that the Dragon King would definitely summon him to see him. He immediately followed the Turtle Prime Minister to a study where the Dragon King was. "Greetings, Father-in-law!" Duan Yu said respectfully. "No need for formalities! There's no need for such formalities in the future," the Dragon King said, waving his hand. " Then thank you very much, Father-in-law," Duan Yu said with a smile. "Good lad, not bad at all. You just went out with Ao Xue and you've already taken care of my Ao Xue," the Dragon King said, looking at Duan Yu. "Not at all, I'm far inferior to my father-in-law's skills!" Duan Yu said, shrugging. "Alright, alright, don't be so modest in front of me. I called you here today to ask about your situation, and also to pass on some things to you. Now that you've merged with Ao Xue, there are some things you absolutely must understand," the Dragon King said solemnly. "Oh..." Duan Yu looked at the Dragon King in surprise. "For our dragon race, the most powerful form is not actually the human body, but the dragon body. That is to say, our Dragon Clan's ultimate attack mode is actually to transform into our original form. To become a dragon!" the Dragon King said. "I know a little about that, but what does it have to do with me?" Duan Yu asked, puzzled. "It has a huge connection! Since you inherited the dragon energy of your ancestors, and now you've merged with Ao Xue, then you've been tainted by Ao Xue's virgin dragon essence! Dragon energy combined with the virgin dragon essence, plus the set of techniques I'm about to pass on to you, will allow you to transform into a dragon!" the Dragon King said solemnly. "I can also transform into a dragon!" Duan Yu was shocked. A dragon! For people in modern society, every Chinese person claims to be a descendant of the dragon. How could Duan Yu not be astonished when he learned he could also transform into a dragon? 161

"That's right. As long as you learn the cultivation method I've taught you, you can definitely transform into a dragon. Because you've received the ancestral inheritance, the dragon you transform into will also possess his divine dragon bloodline. Your strength will at least double after transforming into a dragon. In other words, as long as you can transform into a dragon, you can almost instantly reach the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"
The Dragon King said solemnly.
"That's amazing, are you sure?"
Duan Yu was extremely surprised. Just transforming into a dragon and his strength could break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level was absolutely shocking to Duan Yu.
Now that he had reached the strength of an Earth Immortal and had a preliminary understanding of the Heavenly Dao, Duan Yu already understood the preciousness of power enhancement. To further increase his strength by a large margin, a great opportunity was absolutely necessary.
"How could I possibly lie to my nephew?"
The Dragon King said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for, Father-in-law? Pass it on to me immediately."
At this moment, Duan Yu couldn't help but feel excited.
Seeing Duan Yu like this, the Dragon King laughed even more heartily. From the moment he met Duan Yu, Duan Yu had given him an air of unfathomable mystery. But now, in the Dragon King's eyes, Duan Yu was like a little monkey who hadn't grown up. It seemed that no matter how unfathomable a person was, their youth was undeniable.
Precisely because of Duan Yu's behavior, the Dragon King's last trace of wariness towards him disappeared. Although Duan Yu had inherited the skills from their ancestor, the Dragon King was, after all, the leader of the Dragon Clan, and he had to consider the well-being of his people in many matters. He was also worried that Duan Yu might have other intentions. Now, this technique was arguably the Dragon King's most trump card.
Of course, this technique was only effective on Duan Yu; it would be useless to others even if they obtained it. This was because this technique was also passed down from their ancestor.
Only those who had inherited the skills from their ancestor could use it.
"No rush! No rush!"
the Dragon King said with a smile.
"How can I not rush? Father-in-law, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"
Duan Yu said with a pout.
"Hehe... Nephew, why would I tease you? There's no rush, and it won't waste any more time. I'll tell you some things first,"
the Dragon King said, shrugging.
"Oh, Father-in-law, please speak!"
Duan Yu smiled, suppressing his excitement.
"Nephew, once you cultivate this technique, it means you're truly bound to our Dragon Clan. This is a great karmic connection. Do you understand?"
the Dragon King said solemnly.
Duan Yu nodded helplessly, "Father-in-law, rest assured, how could Duan Yu not understand this? Now that I'm being hunted by the Heavenly Thunder God, my first priority is to increase my strength. Since I've inherited the Dragon God's legacy, this technique is already tainted by karma even if I don't learn it. What do you say, Father-in-law? In that case, of course I'll choose to learn it."
"Hahaha... Not bad, not bad! It seems my understanding of karma and the Heavenly Dao is even more profound than I imagined. Indeed, ever since you were inherited by our ancestor, you've been tainted by karma with my Dragon Clan. This cycle of karma is the Heavenly Dao, and everything is so ethereal. Since my nephew understands this, I have nothing more to say! I will now impart the technique to you."
After the Dragon King finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a beam of white light shot towards Duan Yu.
A large amount of information instantly entered Duan Yu's mind. Upon receiving that information, a wicked smile instantly appeared on Duan Yu's lips. This technique was practically tailor-made for him.
The application of those powerful techniques was exactly what Duan Yu needed at this moment. This technique not only includes cultivation methods, but also various restrictive techniques and alchemy and weapon crafting skills. After a rough grasp of it, Duan Yu could only describe it as incredibly powerful!
Seeing Duan Yu's expression, the Dragon King understood his thoughts perfectly. The Dragon King laughed heartily, "How about it, my dear nephew? This thing is quite good, isn't it?"
"Of course, thank you for your generosity, father-in-law. With this technique, Duan Yu's strength will increase significantly. With this, even if the Thunder God came, I would have a fighting chance."
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Thunder God! Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that now is not the time to tear off the mask of civility, I, the old dragon, would be the first to deal with him. But don't worry, my dear nephew, if the Thunder God doesn't come to my Dragon Palace, fine, but if he really dares to come here, hehe… I, the old dragon, will definitely make sure he doesn't leave alive!"
The Dragon King said domineeringly.
"Father-in-law, it's best if Duan Yu handles this matter himself. As you said, now is not the time to openly confront the Heavenly Court. Why not let me be the 'refining stone' to dampen their arrogance? If I were to deal with it, the Heavenly Court would only send a general down to deal with me from time to time. But it's different if you, Father-in-law, take action. That would attract the entire Heavenly Court's forces. Why should we do that?"
Duan Yu said solemnly.
"Since we've come this far, let's be frank. Given the current situation of the Heavenly Court, a battle with them is inevitable. However, I, the Dragon King, have never really defined when it will be. Because of your situation, nephew, this great battle must be brought forward. Your most important task now is to quickly improve your strength!"
the Dragon King said solemnly.
"I understand, Father-in-law. Could you tell me about the current strength of my Dragon Clan?"
Duan Yu asked with a smile.
"My Dragon Clan now boasts millions of celestial soldiers, and in terms of sheer military strength, we are not far behind the Heavenly Court. However, the Heavenly Court has too many powerful figures, many of whom even I, the old Dragon, do not understand. Once things escalate, many unpredictable entities will emerge,"
the Dragon King said with deep emotion. The Heavenly Court! For the Dragon King and others who emerged from the primordial era, the Heavenly Court was an absolute constraint. Back then, the Heavenly Court was not actually ruled by humans; its rulers were originally the demon clan's Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi! These two were incredibly powerful, yet they still met tragic ends. This truly filled the Dragon King with感慨 (a deep sense of melancholy/reflection).
The Dragon Clan of that time was actually part of the demon clan! The Dragon King did not know the true extent of the Heavenly Court's power, but he knew one thing: as long as things didn't spiral out of control, overthrowing the Heavenly Court was not impossible. As long as he did not defy the human clan's traditions, the decision to attack the Heavenly Court was absolutely feasible.
As the saying goes, fortunes change, and the once-prosperous demon race was eventually overthrown by the Jade Emperor and his allies. Now, the Dragon Palace, despite its immense power, faces the constant threat of annihilation even without war.
Hearing the Dragon King's words, Duan Yu, drawing on his knowledge of fantasy novels, understood the Dragon King's concerns. Indeed! After reading so many fantasy novels, Duan Yu also understood what was hidden behind the Heavenly Court. However, precisely because he understood, Duan Yu didn't see anything wrong with the Dragon King's actions.
The relationships within the Heavenly Court have always been complex. The Jade Emperor no longer holds absolute power. After years of upheaval, the Heavenly Court has long lost its former vigor. If it did, Sun Wukong wouldn't have become such a tragic figure.
Various thoughts raced through Duan Yu's mind. Considering the bigger picture, he remained convinced that now was not the time for the Dragon Palace to provoke the Heavenly Court. Strategic planning followed by decisive action, striking only at the most opportune moment, was the true art of war.
“Father-in-law, the Dragon Palace really shouldn’t be in conflict with the Heavenly Court right now. Let me stir up trouble in the Heavenly Court first, and then we can make our plans.”
Duan Yu looked at the Dragon King solemnly and said, "The Heavenly Court today is not only controlled by the Heavenly Court itself, but also faces the invasion of the Western Buddha, the Western Church of Jehovah, and Zeus. These three forces are intertwined. Even disregarding the strength of the West, considering only our Eastern power, I believe Father-in-law has not forgotten one person: the Blood Sea Ancestor of the Asura Path!"
"Indeed, it seems my understanding of the Heavenly Court is quite profound. The Heavenly Court is indeed in this situation. That is why, although my Dragon Palace has been planning, we have not yet made a move, waiting for a glimmer of opportunity. Now you understand the matter of cause and effect I asked you about earlier, right?"
the Dragon King said majestically.
Duan Yu nodded and said, "I understand Father-in-law's plan."
"Good! As expected of the person chosen by my ancestor. Nephew, work hard."
After saying this, the Dragon King flashed away from the study, leaving Duan Yu alone in the chair.
At this moment, everything was racing through Duan Yu's mind. Cause and effect! This is cause and effect. What is the real reason I came to this Heavenly Dragon? To inherit the dragon energy? To be caught in the conflict between heaven and earth?
Duan Yu shook his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. No! I, Duan Yu, am Duan Yu! Cause and effect? I'll see just how powerful that cause and effect truly is! Heaven may scheme against me, but
I will scheme against Heaven! Let's see who schemes against whom! My destiny, Duan Yu's destiny, is solely in my own hands. I will roam freely across the world! At this moment, Duan Yu's body radiated an overwhelming fighting spirit. Having learned the cause and effect of everything, Duan Yu felt a renewed urge to kill.
Slay gods and Buddhas! Whoever stands in his way, he will surely draw his blade!
With a swift movement, Duan Yu appeared in a room. This was a room specially prepared for him by the Dragon King.
Upon returning to his room, Duan Yu immediately cast several hand seals around him! His battle with Ao Luan was in a week; this week would be a good time to practice what he had learned. Transform into a dragon! He must transform into a dragon! Now, everything was focused on increasing his strength!
After sitting cross-legged, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) flowed gently into Duan Yu's body! One after another, enlightenment entered Duan Yu's heart.
His mind merged with heaven and earth, and the Dragon God Technique was naturally activated. As the technique was activated, Duan Yu suddenly felt a hidden power within his dantian.
Carefully examining it with his divine sense, Duan Yu discovered it was an extremely pure power! With just a brief glance, Duan Yu already knew what it was! Undoubtedly, this was the virgin dragon essence that the Dragon King had mentioned, obtained from Ao Xue's body!
He hadn't expected this dragon essence power to be so strange. He possessed the *Heart Sutra of the Imperial Concubine*, a dual cultivation technique of heaven-defying level. Logically, this energy entering his body should have been refined by him. However, after this power entered his body, he felt nothing at all. If
he hadn't been circulating the Divine Dragon Heart Technique, he wouldn't have known that such power existed within him!
The true name of this Divine Dragon Heart Technique is the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Dragon! As the name suggests, the nine revolutions have nine different levels.
Duan Yu was currently circulating the first revolution! Using the virgin dragon essence to perform the first revolution of transformation! After carefully examining the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Dragon, Duan Yu's face suddenly showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation. This cultivation method was simply an excuse for him to seduce women! Each revolution of the Nine Revolutions required the essence of a virgin dragon! That meant he had to pluck a virgin dragon for every revolution he completed!
"Hehehe..."
Duan Yu suddenly let out a strange laugh! This Dragon God was truly powerful. Although Duan Yu felt somewhat tricked, he had to admit that this cultivation method suited his taste perfectly! Each revolution required the essence of a virgin dragon; at least nine dragon maidens would be needed for all nine revolutions! This ignited an immense desire within Duan Yu. With this connection, the Dragon Kings couldn't say anything if he slept with the beauties of the dragon race! However, finding dragon maidens would likely take some time. There were only two dragon maidens in the East Sea, and seemingly two in the South Sea, but he didn't know about the West Sea and North Sea! Right, wasn't Guanyin's seat also occupied by a dragon maiden?!
Hehehe! Duan Yu laughed maniacally! Everything was so wonderful!
The Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Dragon was undeniably a bizarre existence; this cultivation method used the virgin dragon essence to activate the inherited dragon god power within one's body!
Originally, Duan Yu had always thought the divine dragon relic in his mind was actually a relic, but now he understood that the dragon form was actually the inheritance of the Dragon Ancestor! That was the activation of power! At this moment, Duan Yu was guiding the virgin dragon essence towards the divine dragon relic in his Niwan Palace according to the cultivation method. The

moment
the virgin dragon essence touched the divine dragon relic, it was like dry tinder meeting a raging fire—"Boom!"
—the divine dragon relic swallowed the dragon essence whole. Duan Yu, the controller, was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "Dude, you're too hasty! Don't you know how to cherish it properly? What's the taste of swallowing it whole?"
Duan Yu thoroughly despised his own divine dragon relic.
Despite his disdain, the moment the dragon essence was enveloped by the relic, Duan Yu felt an immense power surge from every part of his body.
The surrounding room erupted with bursts of spiritual energy! The five elements vibrated simultaneously!
"Boom!"
Duan Yu felt a jolt in his mind! The power of the divine dragon relic was fully unleashed.
A violent force instantly coursed through his body, relentlessly tempering him. Duan Yu could clearly feel the changes in his body! His bones and flesh were simultaneously being strengthened.
There were benefits, but also pain.
The pain of this bone-strengthening transformation caused Duan Yu's handsome features to contort! Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
His muscles trembled uncontrollably!
"Bang!"
Suddenly, his clothes exploded, instantly turning to dust.
His pants, shoes, and socks suffered the same fate in an instant. A violent surge of power erupted from Duan Yu's body. Everything in its path turned to dust.
"Roar!"
Duan Yu roared in agony! The change was too swift; he had just been scorning the Divine Dragon Relic, and now he was suffering the consequences.
The Divine Dragon Relic burst forth from Duan Yu's Niwan Palace, wriggling throughout his body, its rampant behavior causing Duan Yu unbearable itching.
However, he simply couldn't muster the energy to control it. This Divine Dragon Relic was a manifestation of Duan Yu's spirit, completely inheriting his shamelessness. It writhes and claws within him, causing him unbearable pain.
Duan Yu gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it, you can be arrogant now, but wait till I see how arrogant you are!"
After saying this, Duan Yu struggled to focus his mind, circulating his inner energy according to the Heavenly Dragon Nine Revolutions Heart Method.
As his mind merged with the cultivation technique, the dragon relic that had been wildly roaming within Duan Yu's body instantly calmed and shrank. Reluctantly, it returned to its location in the Niwan Palace (the area around the temple of the Buddha).
With the return of the dragon relic!
"Boom!"
Duan Yu felt his body tremble again, and then his mind instantly merged into the dragon relic! A surge of intent to transform into a dragon flooded his mind!
Enlightenment! In just this moment of enlightenment, Duan Yu completely understood how to transform into a dragon. With a thought, the dragon relic suddenly transformed into a stream of light and instantly disintegrated within Duan Yu's body.
As the relic decomposed, a terrifyingly violent aura suddenly emanated from Duan Yu's naked body—the aura of a war dragon!
Visible turbulent currents of heaven and earth energy appeared in the room, and Duan Yu's body emitted a dazzling seven-colored light.
"Boom!"
"Roar..."
A dragon's roar suddenly erupted from Duan Yu's throat. With this roar, the light flashed violently.
Duan Yu's body suddenly vanished, and what appeared before the world was a colossal divine dragon! The hundreds-of-feet-long dragon body instantly shattered the surrounding houses into dust!
"Boom boom boom..."
The violent power produced a series of deafening roars.
The enormous dragon body suddenly appeared in the Crystal Palace, attracting countless gazes.
Several beams of light flashed, and the Dragon King's body appeared before Duan Yu in an instant. Then, the Turtle Prime Minister, the various princes, and the sea tribe generals also revealed themselves.
"All of you, step back! No one is to utter a word about what happened today without my order!"
The Dragon King said authoritatively, surveying his generals around him.
"Yes, Dragon King!"
Several responses rang out, and the light flashed once more. These men had come and gone with lightning speed.
"Nephew, return to your true form?"
the Dragon King said calmly.
As soon as the Dragon King finished speaking, the dragon that Duan Yu had transformed into vanished instantly, replaced by Duan Yu himself, clad in golden armor, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes.
His usual clothes had been completely destroyed in the violent surge of power, forcing Duan Yu to don this impressive outfit.
"Father-in-law... this..."
Duan Yu glanced around, a little embarrassed. His transformation into a dragon had destroyed nearly half of the Crystal Palace!
"It's alright, it's alright! It's just a few buildings! Nephew, you've truly surprised me. I thought it would take you at least several months to transform into a dragon, but you only took seven days!"
The Dragon King said with a smile, looking at Duan Yu.
"Not at all, I was just lucky," Duan Yu
said with a smile.
"Let's go, since you've broken through to become a dragon, let's have a good drink today. Hahaha... let's celebrate!"
the Dragon King said with a hearty laugh.
"Judging from the dragon form you just displayed, you must be at least a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, right?"
the Dragon King asked as they walked.
Duan Yu nodded and said, "Although I haven't had a chance to test its power yet, judging from that level, it should definitely be at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level!"
"That's good! Once you reach the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level, the Heavenly Court won't be able to do anything to you unless they send a large number of troops. With your current equipment—the golden armor, the phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, the lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and the innate treasure, the God-Slaying Spear—combined with your strength after transforming, even I, the old dragon, would have to think twice before messing with you!"
the Dragon King said with a hearty laugh.
"Father-in-law, what are you saying? How could I possibly fight with you!"
Duan Yu immediately exclaimed.
"Hehe, my dear nephew, please don't take offense. Of course, I, the old dragon, understand what you mean! To be honest, I've been quite leisurely for a while now, and it's been a long time since I've had a chance to train my muscles and bones! It's impossible to find someone to spar with now! The Heavenly Court has eyes and ears everywhere in this world, so testing your strength is quite troublesome!"
The Dragon King said somewhat speechlessly.
"That's exactly how the Heavenly Court is these days, but whether we test it or not doesn't really matter to me. After I go out this time, I'll bring the Thunder God with me, and then I can use it as an alchemy stone!"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"That's quite a good idea. I want to see if the Thunder God has improved after all these years! Back in the primordial era, the Thunder God controlled Thunder Lake all by himself, and his abilities were extraordinary. It's a pity that the Thunder God is impulsive and brave, which is quite frustrating!"
The Dragon King said.
"I certainly won't disappoint my father-in-law!" Duan Yu
said with a smile.
"By the way, my dear nephew, you've been cultivating for a whole week this time. Today happens to be the day of your duel with Luan'er. Do you think we should postpone it a little?"
The Dragon King smiled warmly, seeking Duan Yu's opinion.
From the Dragon King's actions, it was clear that he truly considered Duan Yu as part of the family! Seeing the Dragon King's attitude, Duan Yu smiled.
Regardless of the reason for his connection with the Crystal Palace, at least everything that had happened was real.
"Let's not postpone it. Anyway, I've just finished cultivating. Hehe, it's a good opportunity to practice with the little princess. Father-in-law, please don't blame me!"
Duan Yu said with a smile.
"I blame you? How could I blame my dear nephew? I really don't know what happened this time. The usually obedient Luan'er has suddenly stopped listening to my arrangements. Now, I'm just waiting for this little girl to agree. Then I'll marry both of my daughters to you!"
The Dragon King said, a bitter smile appearing on Ao Luan's lips. These two precious daughters have always been the Dragon King's most beloved! Especially Ao Luan! Because Ao Luan has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood. Unexpectedly, this time it was Ao Luan who sensed the problem! It seems that he has spoiled her too!
"Hehe, Ao Luan probably has her own ideas, but don't worry, Father-in-law, I will definitely not lose to Ao Luan,"
Duan Yu said.
The Dragon King nodded and said, "Nephew, you should still be careful! This Luan'er actually has many supernatural powers that I don't know about. I turned a blind eye to Luan'er becoming a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren behind my back, but I didn't expect it to become a problem today!" "
Father-in-law, do you know about Ao Luan becoming a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren?"
Duan Yu asked in surprise.
"Of course, how could I not know! It's just that I don't know what Taiyi is really planning. In any case, Taiyi is indeed a capable person. Luan'er won't suffer too much by following him. I'm just afraid that Luan'er will learn some other Heavenly Dao techniques from the old Taoist Taiyi! Back then, Nezha, the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi, was also a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren. Nezha killed the Third Prince of the South Sea! That is, my poor little nephew. That time, when the Four Dragon Kings gathered at Chentang Pass and used the force of flooding to force Li Jing to hand over Nezha, it was actually to sow discord between Nezha and Li Jing. Although this matter was successful, Tathagata also interfered! If it weren't for the monk Ran Deng giving Li Jing a Linglong Pagoda, Li Jing would have died at Nezha's hands long ago. That time was just my Dragon Palace testing the Heavenly Court! But the result made this old dragon very depressed. Li Jing actually stepped onto the chariot of the Western Tathagata, which was really unpredictable!"
The Dragon King said with emotion.
"So Father-in-law had already planned this all along!"
Duan Yu said calmly. "If Father-in-law hadn't told me, probably not many people would have known about these things."
The Dragon King shook his head and said, "Nephew, your words are surprising. The way of Heaven is inherently about mutual scheming. How could my little scheme not have been known to others? It's just that I was using an open strategy that time. Even if these people knew, they couldn't do anything to me! After all, it was my dragon clan that suffered the first loss!"
“Scheming, it’s all scheming! I wonder what level one must reach to be free from being schemed against!” Duan Yu sighed.
“Becoming a sage means you won’t be schemed against by the Heavenly Dao, but becoming a sage is difficult. Nephew, you have a great opportunity to become a sage!”
The Dragon King said, looking at Duan Yu with envy.
“Why do you say that, Father-in-law?”
Duan Yu asked in surprise.
“Our ancestor was actually a being beyond sages. Since you have inherited our ancestor’s teachings, what level do you think you will eventually reach? The Heavenly Dao’s opportunities, everything really depends on that one sliver of opportunity!”
The Dragon King said with emotion.
“I see! So when I fully reach the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Dragon, I will have the fruit of proving the Dao and becoming a sage?”
Duan Yu said.
“I don’t know either. After all, I haven’t practiced our ancestor’s techniques. It’s up to you, nephew, to explore it yourself!”
The Dragon King said.
