Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 478 It's not that I can't, it's just that I'm kind!
"You wicked..."

Bodhi Daoist glared at the person before him. The last time he visited the Three Star Cave was half a month ago, but he never expected that in just half a month, this wretched creature would have such magical power and methods, and even injured him.

What happened in just half a month?
What did Bodhi teach him?
Why did this guy's magic power not only increase so much, but that magic power... even injured him?

This was a question that puzzled him greatly at the moment. With his golden body broken, Bodhi Daoist immediately roared, his Taoist robe billowing, and his body radiating thousands of golden rays of magical power. A golden hand pressed down on A Jiao's head.

Snapped!
Knowing that Bodhi's large hand had landed on A Jiao's head, his expression suddenly changed. He saw A Jiao burst open like a ball of water, and three thousand miles away, a figure appeared, staring at him with a solemn expression.

Bodhi was even more surprised and asked, "What kind of technique is this?"

"The Dao of Profound Origin True Water!"

Ah Jiao stared at him: "Who exactly are you?"

He chose the name himself. He had already mastered this technique and completed the transformation of his internal magical power while in the sea of ​​consciousness.

That was his first move after mastering his divine skills.

Because it was a surprise attack and somewhat rushed, it wasn't a full-force strike, but he had at least used seven-tenths of his strength.

He had fought his master in his sea of ​​consciousness, so according to his estimation, this imposter in front of him would be seriously injured if not killed.

But the other person only had blood trickling from the corner of their mouth...

He instantly realized that the other party's cultivation level was far superior to his own, and that they must have also practiced a powerful physical cultivation technique.

"Mysterious Origin... True Water... The Way?"

Bodhi's eyes flickered, his face filled with surprise and doubt. He had never heard of this method before!

Seeing that he remained silent, Ah Jiao suddenly seemed to realize something and her eyes turned cold: "Were you hired by Ao Run to get rid of me? Answer me."

"no!"

Bodhi looked at Ah Jiao, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he laughed heartily, "Very good, very good indeed!"

"What's so good about it?" Ah Jiao frowned.

Bodhi merely gave him a meaningful look, said nothing, turned around and strode away into the distance, disappearing in an instant.

"Ok?"

A hint of surprise flashed in A Jiao's icy eyes, but he did not relax his vigilance until the other party's aura disappeared, at which point he finally relaxed.

"This person's transformation technique is superb, and his cultivation is unfathomable. His level of cultivation is probably even above my master's. Just who is he?"

Ah Jiao pondered, a deep look of surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes: "What was his purpose in transforming into Master's appearance and blocking my way halfway? Why did he suddenly leave?"

He naturally didn't believe that the other party would be so kind as to pass on their skills to him.

Encountering such an unidentified master right after descending the mountain weighed heavily on his mind, leaving him feeling rather uneasy.

He looked in the direction the other person had left: "The key is that he even has some of his master's habits exactly the same. He's really amazing. If he hadn't been unaware that my master had passed on the Xuan Yuan True Water Dao to me, I'm afraid even I might not have been able to see through his disguise..."

However, with the other person leaving, he could not find the answers to these questions in his heart for the time being.

He shook his head, no longer daring to shout as loudly as before, and flashed towards a place that left him with mixed feelings.

In the distance, high in the sky.

Bodhi Daoist stood on the clouds, gazing at the direction Ah Jiao had gone. A golden light flashed around him, and he transformed into a handsome Daoist wearing a strange Daoist robe.

It was Jin Chanzi!
He raised his hand to wipe away the golden blood from the corner of his mouth, then gently pulled open his Taoist robe, revealing a dark fist mark on his fair skin.

The fist imprint was ferocious, resembling the face of a dragon, exuding wisps of cold, dark aura.

Jin Chanzi sat down cross-legged, formed hand seals, circulated his magical power, and a sacred golden light emanated from his body, surrounding the fist imprint.

After a long while, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with gold.

"What a powerful punch!"

With surprise in his eyes, Jin Chanzi murmured, "What a powerful Xuan Yuan True Water Dao! Bodhi, I really underestimated you."

For some reason, he felt a long-lost sense of the ancient, primordial era from the power of that fist imprint.

But soon a smile appeared on his face, and he burst into laughter.

"Jin Chanzi, Jin Chanzi, your cultivation is still insufficient!"

He murmured, then shook his head, recalling the anger he felt after being ambushed by that unsportsmanlike brat.

He transformed into the Bodhi Taoist halfway to intercept the dragon. Wasn't his purpose to pass on the powerful supernatural abilities of this chess piece so that it could play its role?

This dragon has been nurtured to be so powerful by that fellow Bodhi, he should be even more pleased and express his deepest gratitude to Fellow Daoist Bodhi.

"It's time for me to go back."

Jin Chanzi withdrew his deep gaze, sat up from the cloud, and headed towards Mount Sumeru.

The game was already set up. The emerging dragon was now in the game. All he needed to do was wait for things to unfold and then finish the game.

As for this dragon... it was originally just a pawn to be discarded.

But considering this fellow's performance and Bodhi's sake, let's convert him and take him to Mount Sumeru to become a guardian deity of the Western religion.

Crimson Cloud Lake!
This is a lake located in the northeast of Xiniuhezhou, with a radius of no more than three hundred li, and its geography is somewhat remote.

The riverbank was lush with vegetation. A streak of dark light descended and transformed into Ah Jiao, who gazed ahead with a complex expression, unable to take a step.

Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.

A disheveled woman in a fiery red dress led a little boy to a magnificent palace. The palace's owner, a stern old man, ordered his men to drive the mother and son away.

A burly man with a red beard, unable to bear it any longer, led them to the lake.

Later, the woman became drunk all the time. When she was drunk, she would cry and laugh like a madwoman, making the child kneel on the ground and whipping him with a long, fiery red whip until his skin was torn open and his scales fell off...

Who is to blame for all the misfortunes we have suffered?

"Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea!"

"Yes, so you have to kill him, kill him to avenge us!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

"louder please!"

"I'm going to... kill him!"

After that, the woman used her beauty to find him two different masters.

They imparted all their skills to him, and he learned quickly and became even stronger. Under the woman's command, he easily killed his two masters. Later, there was that red-bearded giant, Chi Longteng, whom he had seen when he was very young—oh, I think I should call him uncle.

He seemed to have heard about what happened here, so he came here and had a fierce argument with the woman. In the end, she dragged him to the West Sea to demand an explanation.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem to have the power. The red-bearded dragon he transformed into was chased by a black-gold divine dragon and escaped from the West Sea. It was quite funny.

It was around that time that he met that seemingly eccentric Taoist priest by the sea.

"Would you be willing to become my disciple?" the Taoist priest asked.

He bowed down immediately, thinking that whatever he encountered next wouldn't be worse than his previous situation, right?
If he were unlucky enough to encounter a deity who used him to refine elixirs, he would accept it, as it would be a good way to end his utterly rotten life.

With this thought in mind, Ah Jiao came back to her senses and stared coldly at the lake, her eyes flashing with killing intent.

He reached behind him and froze.

His back was all strong muscles, and the raised scars that had accompanied him for so long... were gone.

"Master?!"

Ah Jiao sighed, her gaze softened, and the murderous intent in her eyes dissipated considerably.

At first, he distrusted the Taoist priest, but his master spent nearly two hundred years warming his cold heart.

"But Master!"

He said, "Physical wounds can disappear, but emotional wounds cannot."

He stared at the lake, then paused for a moment, before his figure flashed and transformed into a streak of black light, disappearing into the depths of the lake.

At the bottom of the lake lies a stone palace, which once held endless painful memories for him, but now it is empty and seems to have been abandoned for a very long time.

After a moment's thought, Ah Jiao transformed into a streak of black light and sped off in another direction, arriving at another location in an instant.

Tianyan Water Marsh!

This body of water is vast, spanning three thousand miles and rich in spiritual energy. It was originally the territory of a Heavenly Flame Crimson Python Demon King.

Later, the demon king here successfully transformed into a dragon, and became the Heavenly Flame Dragon Lord.

boom!
As Ah Jiao's powerful aura stopped here, a short while later, a beam of crimson light shot out from the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake and transformed into a burly man with a red beard.

However, the once mighty man now looked sickly and was not in good condition.

The burly, red-bearded man cautiously sized up the imposing, powerful-looking man before him, and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "May I ask where this fellow Daoist cultivates, and what brings you here?"

Mid-stage True Immortal Realm… Ah Jiao looked at him: “Let’s catch up!”

The person who was once so powerful that he looked up to him turned out to be nothing more than that.

"Reminiscing? You are..." The burly man with the red beard looked him over and began to examine him. Suddenly, he exclaimed in shock, "You are... Ao Kan? You're still alive? You've come back?"

Back then, he couldn't bear to see his sister tormenting the child, so he took the child to the Western Dragon Palace to plead for justice.

As a result, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, denied everything, and the two immediately started fighting.

The opponent is of the bloodline of a true dragon, and he is no match for him even if they are at the same level. How much more so when the opponent is one of the Four Dragon Kings of the Heavenly Dragon Realm at the Great Perfection?

After Ao Run injured him, he did not pursue him far. When he went to the West Sea to look for the child later, the child had already disappeared without a trace.

The burly man with the red beard, shocked, stepped forward with delight.

"Ao Kan? Ao Kan is dead!"

Ah Jiao suddenly became agitated upon hearing this name.

Ao Kan was his former name. His master, Bodhi, said that the name was not good. His fate was already full of twists and turns, and if he added another obstacle, wouldn't he be even less likely to rise up?
After going to Fangcun Mountain, he got a new name, Ajiao, and only his master would call him that affectionately.

With his excited roar, a powerful dragon's cry resounded through the heavens and earth, shaking the clouds, and even made the red-bearded giant stare blankly at the giant in front of him.

"As for the person standing before you now..."

Having cultivated the innate power of water, one can roam freely, overturning rivers and seas... Ah Jiao recalled these words and coldly said, "His name is Fu Hai Jiao (Overturning Sea Dragon)."

The joy on the burly man's face gradually faded, and he sighed, "You must have been through a lot. Where have you been all these years?"

Ah Jiao said, "None of your business. Enough with the idle talk. Chi Longteng, where is that woman?"

A mocking look appeared on his face: "Is she disappointed that I'm gone, leaving her with no one to vent her anger on?"

"Then you're wrong. Back then, I took you away but lost you. I was too ashamed to face her until she came looking for me like a madwoman, beating and cursing me."

Chi Longteng said, "Later, she rushed to the West Sea Dragon Palace. We couldn't stop her, and in the end, she was suppressed by the West Sea Dragon Clan and imprisoned under the West Sea Demon Sealing Tower. Your grandfather and I were powerless to help her there."

“What right does a little bastard like me have to be a grandfather?” Ah Jiao sneered.

Chi Longteng said, "..."

These were indeed the words his father uttered in anger.

However, he could understand his father. The precious daughter of the dignified Tianyan Dragon Lord, she couldn't stand the husband arranged by her family, secretly ran away, was tricked into having sex, gave birth to the child, was abandoned, and then pitifully ran back... Who could bear that?
But from the child's perspective, it's a different story.

Ah Jiao coldly said, "Remember this well. If I don't destroy your Heavenly Flame Water Marsh today, it's not because I can't, but because I'm kind."

"Good for you, my ass..." Chi Longteng's face darkened. "I, Tianyan Shuize, haven't done anything to you."

“Your mother… was indeed wrong, and you shouldn’t have to suffer these things, but she was also a victim.”

Chi Longteng said, "You only saw how ruthless she was to you, but you don't know that she was actually even more ruthless to herself. Her entire body was ravaged by her own actions, and there wasn't a single patch of her skin that was intact, and..."

"What else?" Ah Jiao asked coldly.

Chi Longteng shook his head and sighed, "You don't know, I grew up with your mother. She was such a kind person. Even now, I still find it hard to believe that she would do such a thing to you."

"What can't be believed now that it's already happened?"

Ah Jiao said coldly, "Are you saying all this to make me pity her and forgive her?"

Chi Longteng waved his hand and said, "I'm just telling you. Whether you sympathize with me or not is your business. To be honest, I couldn't stand it if this happened to me either."

Ah Jiao remained silent for a moment, then looked up coldly towards the West Sea, and suddenly let out a long roar: "Ao Run!"

A terrifying force erupted in all directions, sending up countless towering columns of water.

He then soared into the sky and sped off towards the Western Sea.

"Kan'er, no, Fuhai Jiao, wait a minute, we're from Shang..."

Chi Longteng shouted loudly, but the other party had already disappeared from sight. He couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "What kind of extraordinary encounters has this kid had over the years?"
