Chapter 200: The Eagle Descends.
Above the main hall of the Crystal Palace, gold and jade gleamed, draped in light mist and shimmering clouds. The air was filled with the sounds of music and song. A dozen or so beautiful aquatic women, dressed in palace attire and light gauze, danced in the center. On either side were large crystal tables laden with fine wines, delicacies, and rare fruits, their aromas enticing and tempting. Beautiful women, fine wines, delicious food, and spiritual fruits—truly a life
only immortals could enjoy. Outside the hall, squads of imposing aquatic soldiers stood guard, maintaining strict vigilance and forbidding unauthorized personnel from entering. These soldiers were all robust and imposing, exuding an aura of power, completely devoid of any monstrous appearance. Their physiques and features were indistinguishable from ordinary humans. Some wielded halberds, others large axes, and still others long spears, all radiating a brilliant, auspicious light—truly divine weapons. In the mortal realm, they would surely be easily defeated by cultivators.
Especially the guards at the gate and the leaders of the squads of soldiers, their armor adorned with flowing runes and their eyes gleaming with sharp light—they were all aquatic demons who had undergone several great tribulations. Inside the Crystal Palace's main hall, the atmosphere was joyful and filled with laughter, while outside, the atmosphere was tense. Not a single person was idle; only the beautiful aquatic women, each carrying an identification token, moved about, their voices sweet and their fragrance wafting. However, it was noticeable that every soldier kept their eyes fixed
straight ahead. Even the weakest soldier possessed the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and several who were clearly generals were, in terms of cultivation alone, comparable to the six-eyed toad subdued by Zhou Qing. This Crystal Palace was located on the seabed, a vast, sprawling palace complex. Countless aquatic soldiers patrolled its perimeter—at least ten thousand. In the distance, on the seabed, lay a vast, flat area, seemingly dotted with countless military camps, densely packed, with an unknown number of sailors stationed there.
"Fellow Daoists, I've invited you all here today simply to gather and have a good time. Eat and drink well, so no one will think I, the old dragon, am being petty! Haha! Haha!"
A dignified middle-aged man, seated at the head of the banquet, laughed loudly, raised his golden goblet, and drank the fine wine in one gulp.
This dignified middle-aged man wore imperial robes and a purple-gold crown, exuding wealth and nobility, much like an emperor in the mortal world. However, unlike him, any cultivator could faintly sense powerful waves of true energy emanating from this middle-aged man, swirling slightly within a three-zhang radius around his body, dividing into countless tiny vortexes. If anyone attacked, these vortexes would spin rapidly, shredding any incoming magical artifacts—a truly domineering force.
This man was none other than the eldest of the Four Dragon Kings, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who commanded nearly ten million naval soldiers. He possessed immense strength, having been a celestial master thousands of years ago, personally appointed by Heaven as the Dragon God of the Rain Department.
Below were the distinguished guests invited by the Dragon King of the East Sea, about ten in number. Most wore Taoist robes, though the styles varied greatly; some wore Taoist crowns, while others wore only a Taoist gesture of respect. Only on the left, at the head of the table, sat a demon with golden fur and an ape-like face. He was tall and imposing, standing fifteen or sixteen feet high on a large purple jade chair, clad in tight-fitting black iron armor and wearing a silver breastplate. Behind him, several feet away, beside a large crystal pillar, stood two giant apes, each two feet tall, also with golden fur; one held a cloak pendant, the other wielded a thick, gleaming golden staff.
This ape demon seemed to be the Dragon King of the East Sea's most honored guest, seated at the head of the table, and none of the Taoists below showed any delight, as if it were perfectly natural.
Seated alongside the ape was a Taoist priest dressed in a purple-gold octagonal robe, exuding an otherworldly and ethereal air. His eyelids, occasionally blinking, revealed an unusual pale gold color, somewhat eerie. Like the ape, two handsome young Taoist boys stood behind him, one holding a whisk, the other a foot-long, jade-shaped object—ordinary white jade tablets, magical artifacts reminiscent of the jade flutes carried by ministers at court.
Compared to the golden-haired ape, the Taoist priest resembled a general in battle, the other a reclusive sage; their positions as chief indicated their extraordinary status.
Several other Taoist priests below also radiated an otherworldly aura, each followed by disciples carrying cloaks, Taoist crowns, flower baskets, and other items—each displaying a grand and imposing presence.
"Hehe, Brother Ao, you're too polite. In truth, we are all of the same demon race, one family. Only Brother Ao, from the water dragon clan, is exceptionally favored, personally appointed by Heaven as the Dragon God of the Fish Tribe, holding a high position and great power. We are all very envious." The chief Taoist also drank half a cup of fine wine, smacked his lips, and sighed, "The wine from the Dragon Palace is still the best!"
"Hehe, you old eagle, instead of cultivating properly in Mangdang Mountain, you went to that Great Victory Kingdom to be a national advisor. In the mortal world, the most skilled in brewing wine, can it be inferior to the wine of the Dragon Palace?" The golden-haired monkey chuckled strangely, picked up a jade bowl with a large, fan-sized, golden-haired hand, and drank it clean in one gulp. A beautiful water creature serving at the banquet quickly came forward and carefully refilled the bowl with a golden wine pot.
"Hehe, General Ba is still as bold and straightforward as ever! The wines and spirits of the mortal world have no spiritual energy whatsoever; how can they compare to the jade nectar of the Dragon Palace immortals?" The Taoist priest, unperturbed by the monkey's words, chuckled and spoke to the other Taoist priests below. The priests laughed together, and the monkey, called General Ba, joined in, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
This Taoist priest resided in Mangdang Mountain, tens of thousands of miles from the East Sea. His true form was an eagle, but he also possessed the bloodline of the ancient ferocious bird, the Golden-Winged Roc. Having attained enlightenment for a thousand years, living a carefree life, he later decided to promote the Taoist tradition. He descended the mountain and transformed into a Taoist priest. In the Great Victory Kingdom at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, he used his supernatural powers and was revered as a celestial being by the emperor, who appointed him as the National Preceptor. He served under three emperors for over two hundred years, developing countless Taoist temples within the Great Victory Kingdom, with tens of thousands of disciples, wielding considerable power. Furthermore, this eagle had some connection to its ancestor, the Golden-Winged Roc, and thus dominated the four hundred thousand miles of Mangdang Mountain, commanding all the demons within. No demon dared disobey him, and even the Taoist priests cultivating in the mountains had to obey his orders.
However, this eagle itself was also incredibly powerful, having long since attained the rank of Celestial Immortal. Otherwise, the Dragon King of the East Sea would not have hosted a banquet for it.
The following Taoists were also regional overlords of various mountain ranges in the Eastern Continent, commanding the demons within. Those who were invited by the Dragon King were naturally powerful.
"Brother Ao, what brings you here today? Why are you keeping us in suspense? My Great King isn't home, and my Second King is out too. Marshals Ma and Liu are training the demon kings of the seventy-two caves and millions of demon soldiers. General Beng and I are managing the affairs of Aolai Kingdom. We only managed to find some free time today."
General Ba, the golden-haired monkey, chuckled and drank heavily. It turned out that Huaguo Mountain not only established its own kingdom but also created a demon kingdom in the surrounding area. The inhabitants of Aolai Kingdom were all demons.
"Oh! Great Sage Sun Wukong, boundless and carefree, with wide-ranging friends, from the Thirty-Three Heavens to the Netherworld and the Western Paradise, your friends are everywhere. Where have you been visiting this time?" the Dragon King chuckled, also somewhat curious. The Taoists present also pricked up their ears, their faces filled with reverence. Even the Azure Eagle Immortal was no exception.
"This time it's a visit to friends. My Great King went to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain in Xihe Niuzhou to help organize the Ginseng Fruit Gathering! The Second Great King went to Jilei Mountain. Last time, the Bull Demon King of Jilei Mountain went to the Second Great King to borrow the Nine-Toothed Rake, and it hasn't been returned yet. The Second Great King is getting anxious," said General Ba. "
The Ginseng Fruit Gathering! We are not qualified to participate. I wonder which Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Great Immortals Zhenyuan invited this time?" the Dragon King asked.
"This time, the Great King said it's just a gathering of his own brothers. He won't invite any Bodhisattvas or Buddhas anymore. Those guys in the Western Paradise are very cunning. They eat and then leave without a second thought. They won't show any friendship when we meet again."
"The Great Sage has many good brothers. I wonder which ones are particularly close?" the Azure Eagle Immortal asked curiously.
"Hehe, your ancestor, the Great Roc King, is one, and my Great King's senior brother, the Peacock King. There are a few others, but I don't know." General Ba's eyes flickered, and his words were somewhat ambiguous, but he still revealed some information. "
The Dragon King realized he had asked too abruptly and quickly shut his mouth, only urging the others to drink. The other Taoists also toasted each other, but were surprised and secretly plotting."
After a few rounds of drinks, a Taoist priest at the lower seat sighed, "Alas, although I have tens of thousands of disciples in my Guiqi Mountain, and we have established our own territory, we are all restrained by Taoist sects on all sides. To the south is the Qingzhu Sect, to the north is the Zhiyang Sect, and to the west is the Taiji Sect. It will be difficult for Fellow Daoist Cangying and General Ba to live freely!"
This Taoist priest was an ancient ghost who had attained enlightenment in Guiqi Mountain, which was 200,000 miles away. His magical power was profound and boundless. The Guiqi sect was very famous in the border area of Dongsheng Shenzhou. However, it was restrained by several major Taoist sects. Although they did not interfere with each other, they could not act freely.
"Alas! Those immortals, passing down their lineages in this realm, spreading their branches and branches, are simply trying to monitor and restrain our demon race. Several sects around my Mangdang Mountain have begun massacring my disciples. I used some methods to destroy a sect called Ziyang Sect, which I heard was affiliated with the lineage of Zhang Ziyang, one of the Four Heavenly Masters. Zhang Ziyang appealed to the Heavenly Court, wanting to punish me. That's why I went to the Great Snow Mountain of Xihe Niuzhou to ask my ancestor to intervene, and only then was I spared. The Heavenly Court's power in this realm is immense. Back when Emperor Gouchen was still alive, he often looked after our demon race. But Emperor Gouchen perished in a battle with the Great Witch Ying Zheng in the mortal realm. Now, all the power of the Heavenly Court rests with the Jade Emperor, even suppressing the two Great Emperors Zhenwu and Ziwei. With the Heavenly Court consolidated, our lives are even more difficult."
The Azure Eagle Immortal sighed, then added, "I know some things, Brother Ao, perhaps you also have some family matters to attend to?"
“Alas! There is indeed a matter at my home. My brother in the South Sea has a daughter named Ao Luan. Have any of you fellow Daoists heard of her?” Ao Guang sighed.
“Princess Ao Luan is a woman of extraordinary talent, the number one expert among the Dragon Clan. Even my king has heard of her name, so of course we know her,” General Ba said.
“Brother Ao, please don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us clearly what’s wrong. We can still help you,” another Daoist dressed in a blue feathered robe said.
Ao Guang recounted Ao Luan's story: "The Queen Mother sent the Star Lord Chang Geng to propose marriage, and my niece agreed. Later, the Queen Mother summoned Master Xu, but my niece refused the Queen Mother's fire attack and instead sent the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, Nezha, to the mortal realm. Ostensibly, he was there to propose marriage, but in reality, he was there to threaten us. That Great God of the Three Altars and Seas has a long-standing feud with our Dragon Clan; my third son died at his hands. Although this feud is thousands of years old, I fear he still harbors resentment. Sure enough, just three days ago, Nezha was aggressive, and my niece, unable to contain her anger, made a duel agreement. They would gamble in the rift between the Three Realms three days from now. If my niece won, Nezha would let go and tell the Queen Mother to give up her idea. If my niece lost, she would have to accept his wishes."
"Absolutely outrageous! That old hag, the Queen Mother, is known for her fierce protection of her own. Princess Ao Luan is talented, but ultimately her cultivation is too shallow. Nezha achieved physical sainthood during the Investiture of the Gods, and in terms of magic power, martial arts, and magical treasures, even I might not be a match for him. How could Princess Ao Luan possibly be a match for him?"
True Man Cangying was furious upon hearing this. Only General Ba chuckled coldly, "Nezha may be formidable, but my Flower Fruit Mountain doesn't take him seriously. However, the two sides have already agreed to a fair and square duel, and even my king can't interfere."
The Taoists all nodded in agreement. Ao Guang sighed, "This is precisely what troubles me. My niece is a prodigy of the Dragon Clan; given time, her achievements will be limitless. How can she be confined to the Heavenly Palace and married to that纨绔子弟 (a spoiled, dissolute young man)? I invited you all here today to come up with a good idea, but after hearing General Ba's words, this matter is truly difficult."
The Taoists sighed repeatedly. Both Nezha and the Dragon Girl were proud and arrogant, and they certainly wouldn't stoop to breaking the agreement. No matter how powerful their abilities, they all intervened.
Just then, the Azure Eagle Immortal's body suddenly trembled, knocking over a white jade wine cup. It crashed onto the crystal floor and shattered into powder. The Azure Eagle Immortal immediately calculated with his fingers and cried out, "Oh no!" "
Old Eagle, what's all the fuss about?" General Ba asked hastily.
"When I attained enlightenment, I shed my physical form and refined all my feathers into magical treasures, infinitely versatile, with a subtle connection to my mind. I bestowed these upon several of my most prized disciples for protection. Just now, my mind was shaken, and I calculated with my fingers that they had been destroyed. My disciple must be in grave danger. I must be returning immediately. Gentlemen, I apologize for my rudeness and take my leave!" The Azure Eagle Immortal was extremely anxious. He quickly grabbed his attendant and his whisk. The Dragon King didn't even try to keep him; clearly, something had happened at home.
"Old Eagle's home is as secure as a fortress, how could something have happened to his disciple?" everyone wondered.
Just as Celestial Eagle Zhenren emerged from the main hall, a muffled thunderclap suddenly echoed from the sea surface to the seabed, causing the bottomless seabed to tremble violently. The seawater surged, and even the entire Crystal Palace shook. Some aquatic beauties managed to maintain their footing, while inside the hall, there were incessant crackling sounds as jade plates were shattered.
It turned out that Zhou Qing and Bai Qi were fighting fiercely, their battle causing the heavens and earth to collapse and the sun and moon to lose their light. Zhou Qing's hand-to-hand combat skills were gradually improving, and he could fight Bai Qi to a standstill without revealing his true form. Bai Qi launched a relentless and unrestrained attack, while Zhou Qing remained unmoved and as stable as a mountain. However, the ordinary people below suffered greatly. Zhou Qing quickly lured Bai Qi away, and the two fought further and further away, eventually reaching the East Sea. Along the way, they alarmed countless demons and cultivators. The battle between the two was truly terrifying, and the scene was too grand. Even some cultivators who had reached the Heavenly Immortal level dared not come out to invite trouble, keeping their mountain gates tightly closed and minding their own business.
"Patrol Yaksha, go see what's going on! Who dares to cause trouble in the East Sea!" A young man carrying a long spear emerged from the aquatic army camp, his white armor gleaming. He was Ao Cheng, the eldest son of the East Sea Dragon King.
At this moment, the Dragon King and his group of Taoists also stopped, leaving the palace to activate the protective barrier, suppressing the Crystal Palace and causing it to shake again. General Ba, carrying a large staff and wearing armor, also came out.
A yaksha parted the seawater, leading a young Taoist and a primordial spirit enveloped in white light. They landed before the Dragon King.
"This, this, what exactly happened? How come even your physical body is destroyed!" True Man Cangying exclaimed in shock. He folded his feathers, put his disciple's primordial spirit into his sleeve, and the remaining young Taoist hurriedly explained the situation.
"Your Majesty, two powerful figures came from the Mangdang Mountain of the Great Victory Kingdom to fight on the sea, and these two Taoist brothers were caught in the crossfire." The patrol yaksha knelt before the Dragon King and said.
"Ao Cheng, you lead 200,000 elite troops to capture the two fighting men. That way, True Immortal Cangying won't have to go back. We can continue drinking to avoid getting into a bad mood. Once my son has captured the two troublemakers, we'll hand them over to True Immortal for judgment." Ao Guang laughed heartily and ordered the banquet to resume.
However, he was somewhat surprised upon learning the situation. Those who could fight up there and alarm the Crystal Palace were at least immortals. With over 200,000 water soldiers, even the Great God Nezha of the Three Altars Seas would be overwhelmed. The
Dragon King wouldn't care. True Immortal Cangying hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Ao, it's better if we go up ourselves. The two fighting up there are probably no less powerful than the Great God Nezha of the Three Altars Seas, and might even be stronger."
