Chapter 513: Calling Friends (3)
In Yuanlingtian, at the far east, across a vast uninhabited wilderness, there is a large body of water called Yingyuan.
Over the past 30,000 years, after Yuanlingtian exterminated Wanmiaotian and defeated Jishengtian, the luck of heaven and earth soared, and the world continued to extract the void chaos and expand to the extreme in all directions. Even the top half-step heavenly realm powerhouses in Yuanlingtian could not figure out how huge the Yuanlingtian domain is now.
Yingyuan is now the ultimate in the East as recognized by the Yuanlingtian cultivators.
The boundless Yingyuan is home to islands as big as stars. Many of them have only grown out of the void for two or three thousand years. The islands are chaotic and wild, and contain the mysteries of the creation of heaven and earth. There are also countless rare treasures that have never been seen or heard of in the Yuanlingtian, growing and nurturing them.
In the vast Yingyuan, only one person is respected as the master, and that person calls himself 'Water Ancestor'. It is said that he is an ancient cultivator who escaped the catastrophe 30,000 years ago. No one knows where his inheritance came from. All we know is that he is eccentric and perverse, with great cultivation. He also holds several top-grade spiritual treasures. He alone occupies Yingyuan and enjoys this paradise of water covering countless billions of miles.
In the core area of Yingyuan, a beautiful peak stands out from the vast waves.
The base of this beautiful peak is only a little over a hundred acres in size and is about three hundred feet high. It is completely smooth, without a trace of soil or a single blade of grass. It is blue-green in color and clear throughout, like a piece of top-grade crystal.
There is an open space of about one mu in size on the top of the mountain, on which a small thatched cottage is built. This is where Shui Zu lives and practices.
It is so simple, but it is the most sacred place in Yingyuan...a forbidden place!
Early in the morning, Shui Zu stood by the mountain, with a golden bowl in his left hand, filled with aqua-blue pills. He grabbed a handful of pills with his right hand and threw them down at random. On the water surface below, a large group of flying fish several feet long took off into the air, vying for these pills that exuded a faint fragrance.
"Eat, eat, hey, you are blessed." Shui Zu's eyes were as fiery as he stared at the group of flying fish with silver scales, golden fins and fiery eyes, and he sighed softly.
This was a group of alien species with true dragon water veins. The Water Ancestor had spent nearly ten thousand years of hard work to finally condense their blood veins to the point where each of them was about to transform into a flying dragon. However, they were still lacking in strength, and the power of their blood veins was limited to a certain critical point, so they could not truly transform into true dragons.
No matter how much thought and effort the Water Ancestor put in, how many spiritual herbs he collected, or how many elixirs he refined, this group of more than ten thousand flying fish still just looked like flying fish.
If they could transform into dragons and obtain the supreme secret passed down by the Water Ancestor... then by using dragon blood and dragon marrow to refine elixirs, they might be able to ascend to heaven and attain immortality!
A little further away, on the water surface, there were huge lotus pedestals formed by clear water. A number of powerful dragons transformed into half-human, half-dragon forms and stood solemnly on them, drooling as they looked at the group of favored flying fish.
These dragons are the registered disciples that Water Ancestor has recruited over the past 30,000 years.
Among the three thousand six hundred dragons, more than a dozen of them have already reached the half-step heavenly realm. However, due to their innate talents and bloodlines, their cultivation has been locked, making it extremely difficult for them to make any further progress.
The other three thousand or so dragons were all at the Illuminating Void Realm. Using the bodies of dragons to break into the Illuminating Void Realm, these dragons did not have many other magical powers, but their muscles and bones were extremely strong, and ordinary flying swords and magic weapons could hardly damage them at all.
If Shui Zu is the supreme emperor of Ying Yuan, then these 3,600 dragons are the vassal kings. The vast Ying Yuan is their territory, and the countless aquatic creatures are their subjects. Every 36 years, these dragons come to Shui Zu to listen to his lectures. Today is the day when Shui Zu is giving lectures.
A bucket of pills was about to be finished, and suddenly, the clear sound of jade chimes rang out from the thatched cottage behind Shui Zu.
Shui Zu frowned slightly and snorted coldly: "A boring young man, disturbing my quiet cultivation... Ha, ignore him, ignore him..."
The jade chimes rang out "ding ding ding" incessantly. At first, Shui Zu was able to appreciate the flying fishes as if nothing had happened. After about a cup of tea, he threw the golden bowl to the ground, strode into the thatched cottage, and looked at a huge bronze basin in the cottage.
In a basin of water with countless exquisite patterns on its surface, a small whirlpool is spinning rapidly. On the whirlpool, a small jade fish with an ancient shape is dancing quickly, making a crisp "ding ding" sound.
"Damn it!" Shui Zu snorted coldly, grabbed the small fish, put his spiritual power into it, and then his face suddenly changed.
"This young man Li Guiliu is really generous this time. He just helped him fight, but he actually took out so many good things? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm itching to try it. This... is all!" Shui Zu waved his sleeves, his eyes flickered, his expression changed constantly: "The founder of the Miro Sect was also an old acquaintance of mine. However, after that guy barely re-established the Miro Sect, he was seriously injured and died within two thousand years."
"In that case, the rest are just a bunch of juniors...there's nothing to be afraid of."
After a moment of silence, Shui Zu shouted loudly, "Boys, gather your elite troops and follow me out!"
The three thousand six hundred dragons suddenly widened their eyes and roared to the sky, causing huge waves. Countless aquatic creatures in Yingyuan were alarmed and rushed out of the water to cheer. The thick demonic energy turned into dark clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and quickly spread in all directions for an unknown number of miles.
At the northernmost part of Yuanlingtian, there is also a large body of water called Yanchi.
The environment of Yanchi was many times worse than Yingyuan. It was also a vast expanse of water, but there were no picturesque mountains and islands in the waters. There were only huge, dark, potholed volcanoes that spewed black smoke and flowed magma.
The power of water and fire here is extremely strong, with water vapor rising, flames surging, water and fire colliding. The sky is covered with dark clouds all day long, and countless lightning flashes are like torrential rain, pouring down indiscriminately, blasting all living things below into pieces.
There were also aquatic creatures in the Yanchi, but they had long since learned to hide deep underwater and would not come to the surface unless necessary, fearing that a thunderbolt would strike and cause them to suffer a disaster for no apparent reason.
In the huge Yanchi, only the core area is calm, with blue sea and blue sky, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
In the vast waters, a giant turtle lazily floated on the water. Its carapace looked like a patchwork of giant mountains. On the top of each mountain, flames of various colors kept flashing. Wisps of heat shot up into the sky, isolating the dark clouds and thunder from the outside world thousands of miles away.
Around this giant turtle, there are countless aquatic creatures playing and playing, among which there are many giant turtles and tortoises, all of which are huge creatures with many years of history and unfathomable cultivation.
This is Turtle Ancestor, a powerful being with both water and fire qualities, the supreme ruler of the Yanchi.
This old guy should be much older than the Water Ancestor, and his origins are even more unpredictable. He doesn't like to move, and he doesn't like to fight. Since the Flame Pool emerged from the void, he has been entrenched here, leading a group of turtle grandsons to enjoy themselves. From time to time, outsiders often enter the Flame Pool to look for opportunities, and occasionally conflicts break out with the turtle grandsons of the turtle ancestor.
This group of giant turtles and tortoises neither fought nor made a fuss. They allowed the foreign monks to chop them with knives and axes, and bombard them with thunder and lightning. Their shells were extremely hard, and no matter how you beat or scold them, you could not do anything to them.
And every time when Turtle Ancestor showed up, with a head as big as dozens of miles, he would often scare foreign cultivators into running away in panic... Therefore, Turtle Ancestor and his group of turtle grandchildren lived a very comfortable life in Yanchi.
Who can do anything to them?
Who can touch them?
Slowly raising his head, Turtle Ancestor picked up a hapless giant whale, swung his long neck, and threw the giant whale into a crater on his tortoise shell. The flames rose, burning the giant whale's whole body, and oil continued to drip.
"I'm old, and my stomach is not good. I can't eat raw or cold food anymore." Turtle Ancestor happily took a few deep breaths of the aroma: "Eat something hot, this is the way to keep healthy... Hey, those peppers, star anise, fennel, and cumin that I traded last time, bring them all to me... How can we eat barbecue without those spices?"
With a humming sound, a gem that had been casually thrown on the turtle's carapace and embedded in the crevice of a volcano and had been silent for many years suddenly began to shake.
An old voice rang out from the orb: "Senior Turtle Ancestor, Senior Turtle Ancestor, help me... Someone is bullying us, and our Water God Palace cannot defeat them... In the past, my ancestor and you once joined forces to fight against the powerful enemy, please help me..."
Turtle Ancestor was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, if you want to save your life, you have to fight, and if you want to fight, you have to get stabbed, and if you get stabbed, you may bleed, and bleeding will damage your vitality. If your vitality is damaged too much, your life span will be shortened... Grandpa, I can't do this kind of short-lived thing, I can't do it... It's about maintaining health, prolonging life, and living for more than a million years..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen, you little bastards have bad intentions, but you want to ruin my life!"
Turtle Ancestor's eyes moved rapidly, and with a tremor of his body, he was about to shake the orb away.
"From now on, my Water God Palace will take care of your daily wine and spices... Also, my Water God Palace will provide you with 300,000 beautiful girls every year to wipe your carapace and clean your body!"
"Hiss..." The Turtle Ancestor opened his mouth and a large glob of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, splashing huge waves on the sea.
"Forget it, Grandpa, I still have some compassion in my heart. That fellow Taoist from the Water God Palace... has been dead for almost 30,000 years. These little bastards left behind cannot be bullied by others. At least, there is a little bit of incense and affection, right?"
Turtle Ancestor's body shook, and his huge body began to shrink slowly: "Boys , gather your subordinates and prepare for battle... Remember, war has no eyes, let your subordinates, big fish and small shrimps, rush in front, and you must hide behind... When traveling in the world, saving your life is the first priority, don't rush forward foolishly!"
"Just stand up for others, come back after you get the benefits, but don't really risk your life!"
Such movements continued to occur in the waters of various Yuanlingtian.
Some antiques that had been hidden for many years, some old monsters with unknown origins, and many sects that made their living from water, all received messages from the Water God Palace.
I don’t know what the Water God Palace promised to those old antiques, old monsters, and large and small sects, but in short, the situation was turbulent for a while, and countless cultivators rushed to the Qiuxue River through the vortex tunnels all over the world.
