Chapter 818: No Peace in the Three Realms
"The Four Seas Dragon Clan?"

The moment Immortal Wuliang was about to attack the dragon clans of the four seas, Chu Tai also sensed the change in fate.

At the same time, he also discovered that his [Taiyi] Dao Fruit seemed to have never affected the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

His gaze shifted, and he followed the breath of Shen Gongbao and the three-headed dragon to look towards the East China Sea, where he saw a huge, rusty divine pillar.

Countless bronze chains fell from the sacred pillars, passing through the broken crystal dome supported by the broken coral pillars, and locked up the giant dragons.

The seabed magma beneath the Dragon Palace emits a dark red glow, making the entire Dragon Palace look like purgatory rather than a palace.

"This... Why is it like this here!?"

Shen Gongbao was very surprised, but the three-headed dragon laughed and said, "What do you think this place is? The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea? No, the correct name for this place is the Undersea Purgatory, which is used to imprison some ancient gods who are difficult to kill but unwilling to submit. The so-called Four Seas Dragon Kings are both the jailers who guard this purgatory and the prisoners trapped here. Am I right, Ao Guang!"

Under the angry glares of many giant dragons, the three-headed dragon stared at the magma at the bottom of the divine pillar. A huge dragon head slowly raised up, and a low and cold voice echoed all around.

"Three-headed Jiao, this is the private land of the dragon clan. We won't allow a Jiao like you to act recklessly!"

"Dragon Tribe's Private Reserve, Ao Guang, how long do you want to deceive yourselves? You are prisoners, trapped here! Back then, I made the wrong choice, but you didn't make the right choice either. We are both losers. At most, you are living a slightly better life. What qualifications do you have to deny me?"

The three-headed dragon was very angry. As it stared at Ao Guang and spoke, evil energy surged behind it, forming the shadow of a three-headed dragon. The blue-gray cold light spread outward, corroding the surrounding sea water into ink-black. Some of the young dragons could not help but retreat.

Ao Guang's eyes were cold, not caring about the opponent's pressure at all, and he said in a cold voice: "If you were in your prime, I would still be a little bit afraid of you, but now you are, forget it!"

As the words fell, the dragon's tail rose from under the magma and lashed down at the three-headed dragon, directly shattering the phantom.

Countless bright red lights flickered, and the shadows of countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals appeared and disappeared in them, rendering the surroundings extremely terrifying.

However, Shen Gongbao saw a different scene. Under the separated magma, he saw tens of millions of dragon corpses. The white bones and scales reflected a cold light. While suppressing the surrounding magma, they also suppressed the countless terrifying demon shadows below.

"What...what...is that!?"

As he spoke, bursts of clear light appeared on Shen Gongbao's body, which was a manifestation of him unconsciously using Kunlun's magic to the extreme in order to resist the terrifying pressure.

"Hmm? Kunlun Immortal Technique?"

Ao Guang looked at Shen Gongbao beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Three-headed Jiao, what are you and this Kunlun disciple doing here?"

"Of course, it's to make another choice!"

The three-headed dragon looked at Ao Guang and said, "The operation of the world has reached a point where new changes have to occur. Neither you nor I can escape. Now I have brought the goodwill of Kunlun. Ao Guang, what are you going to choose?"

"Kunlun's goodwill? Although this leopard demon has practiced Kunlun's magic well, he has only reached the middle level and has not been taught the highest level of magic. At most, he is an outer disciple. Can he represent Kunlun?"

Facing Ao Guang's words, Shen Gongbao straightened his chest, slowed down his tone, and said: "I am Shen Gongbao, recommended by my senior brother Wuliang Xianweng, and I worship Yuanshi Xianzun as my master!"

After saying this, Shen Gongbao bowed in the direction of Kunlun Mountain and then took out a green jade talisman.

Ao Guang's eyes widened instantly: "Kunlun Yuxu Immortal Talisman? Only the disciples of Yuanshi Immortal Venerable have such patterns. Then you can represent Kunlun's attitude to a certain extent. Tell me, what do you want?"

Shen Gongbao briefly stated the purpose of his visit and the thoughts of Wuliang Immortal.

In response, Ao Guang said that the dragon clan could submit to Kunlun, but Kunlun also had to show something.

"At the very least, some of the younger generations of our clan should be freed."

This request put Shen Gongbao in a dilemma. The three-headed dragon beside him smiled and said, "Wuliang guessed your request. He gave me five talismans that can unlock five chains. How to use them is up to you to decide."

As he spoke, five talismans flew out from the palm of the three-headed dragon and landed in front of Ao Guang. The surrounding dragons looked over.

For a moment, the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea fell into a strange silence.

Chu Tai did not pay attention to the conversation between Ao Guang and others. His attention was attracted by the ancient god's demonic shadow under the magma.

The nature of those ancient gods is somewhat similar to the remains of the ancient gods suppressed under Skull Mountain, but they are more dangerous.

In Chu Tai's opinion, those demonic shadows even had some traces of alienated cultivators who appeared in the immortal world.

"No, they can actually be considered alienated gods..."

Chu Tai's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately carefully observed the remains of the ancient gods under Skull Mountain. After careful study, he found that these beings whose spiritual energy had been extracted should have another source of energy in their bodies.

And the source of that energy is quite similar to the alienated and disordered Tao fruit in the immortal's manifestation of the Tao in the great sky.

It’s just that the ancient god in Skull Mountain had his origin extracted and had been washed away by the power of the earth’s ancestral veins for a long time, so he had not noticed the problem before.

But now, after being reminded by the ancient gods in the purgatory of the East China Sea, Chu Tai immediately saw the problem. Many of the characteristics of the monsters transformed from the remains of these ancient gods were consistent with the characteristics of the alienated cultivators in the Immortal Manifestation of the Tao.

Moreover, the cultivators in this world, or in this time period, are too normal.

It is so normal that it doesn't seem like the world of the immortals, but more like a world belonging to the great world of Dongji Chenguang.

And this normality itself is an abnormality.

Chu Tai noticed this and stretched out his hand. The jade hanging behind his head fell into his hand. He carefully observed that there was a little more spiritual charm on it. He felt that his research on spiritual charm was only superficial.

'There must be some other secrets here that I haven't noticed.'

While Chu Tai was pondering the mystery of Ling Yun, there were obvious changes in Donghai because of his actions.

The ancient gods suppressed under the magma seemed to feel that they had been seen through, and they were exposed one after another, showing various terrifying appearances, impacting the seal of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. Auras appeared on countless chains, and began to devour the spiritual charm in the dragon's body. The divine pillar standing in the center shook violently, and 13,600 auras appeared in overlapping layers, pressing down suddenly, forming a light curtain, making the rolling magma still.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Guang raised his head and let out a long roar, and the giant dragons around him began to move.

The three-headed dragon pulled Shen Gongbao to retreat quickly. During this time, many auras surged, thousands of rays of light danced, and dragon shadows changed back and forth in the void, surrounding the divine pillar and stabilizing the flow of 13,600 spiritual lights.

"The Ten Thousand Dragons Formation is actually just an auxiliary. What is being suppressed underneath? And what is this pillar?"

The three-headed dragon spoke in a low voice, looking at the sacred pillar with a serious gaze, but in his heart he was more surprised at the submission of all the dragons to Ao Guang, and that not a single dragon chose to ask for the talisman at this time.

Shen Gongbao, who had no idea of ​​what the three-headed dragon was thinking, curiously asked about the mystery of the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation.

"That is the secret method of the dragon clan. It can add the power of ten thousand dragons to one dragon. When necessary, it can transform ten thousand dragons into one dragon. This is one of the reasons why the dragon clan was able to occupy a high position among the ancient gods. We may not have the highest-ranking gods, but there are many high-ranking gods. The combination of the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation can just produce a highest-ranking god."

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao also understood what the three-headed dragon was surprised about. This kind of formation was actually just auxiliary, so it was conceivable that the central pillar must have a higher status.

However, Shen Gongbao was a little curious. Wasn't it said that this formation was to gather the power of ten thousand dragons into one dragon? That pillar didn't look like a dragon at all.

"I don't know about that. It should be the magic of the pillar itself."

After the three-headed dragon finished speaking, the divine pillar below shook again, and spiritual light rushed up, forcing the two to retreat thousands of miles.

Immediately afterwards, there was another earthquake, and the two had to retreat thousands of miles again. At the same time, waves surged over the entire East China Sea.

Finally, there was the third earthquake, and the rays of light shot straight into the sky, passed through the realm of desire, and went straight into the heavenly realm, shaking the heavenly palace.

The Emperor of Heaven, who was just listening to his child telling him about his sister marrying a mortal, suddenly changed color, looked towards the direction of the East China Sea, frowned and said: "The Dinghai Divine Needle has changed, it seems that there is a problem with the seal that suppresses the dragon clan! Where is Lord Lieque!"

Lord Lieque stepped forward in a hurry, but before he could say anything he heard the Emperor of Heaven's order, ordering him to lead nine golden crows and a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to suppress the changes in the East China Sea.

Then he asked the Great Golden Crow and the Tianpeng God General to lead three thousand heavenly soldiers to bring his sister back.

"Tell him that the heavenly world has changed and she is needed to guard the desire world. She cannot do anything she wants."

"If aunt doesn't want to come back."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven stretched out his hand and a magic mirror appeared in his hand. He shone it at the human world, immediately reflecting Yun Hua's current situation and seeing the heart in her chest that did not belong to her.

Seeing this, the Emperor's expression eased a little, and he reflected on her husband's chest again, and saw that there was also a heart inside. He immediately understood the reason, and his expression relaxed. He said: "She got the human heart refining method by chance. If she insists not to come back, you can chant this spell to cut off her distracting thoughts."

As he spoke, the Emperor of Heaven taught the Great Golden Crow a secret spell.

The Great Golden Crow was about to leave when the Queen Mother, who was sitting behind the Emperor of Heaven, suddenly asked, "What if she still doesn't want to come back?"

"How could that be? She is just using the man's mind to practice magic. As long as she suppresses her emotions, she will naturally know which is more important."

The answer from the Emperor of Heaven did not satisfy the Queen Mother. She had a close relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, but her achievements were far inferior to hers. Therefore, after the Emperor of Heaven took power, she took the initiative to go to heaven to cooperate with him in suppressing yin and yang, and she was the controller of the desire realm in his early years.

But later on, in order to give birth to the ten most powerful and masculine Golden Crows, it was inconvenient to continue to control the complicated powers of will, so the power was transferred to Yunhua.

As the goddess of desire of the previous generation, the Queen Mother knew too well the impact of emotions on gods.

She said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the secret spell you taught can only suppress her emotions, but it cannot completely erase her emotions. You asked her to come back when she was in the prime of her relationship with her husband and children. This is equivalent to breaking her previous practice. With the backlash, how can she follow her heart and know what is more important?"

"Besides, what are you going to do with those three demigods? Bring them back or leave them in the human world? Or..."

When these words came out, the Great Golden Crow was a little surprised. Just as he was about to speak, the Emperor of Heaven spoke first: "Then according to your opinion, Madam?"

"Let's follow the rules. In recent years, there has been a trend of yearning for the mortal world in the heavens. If we don't stop it, there will be a lot of trouble in the future! Although Yunhua is your sister, her actions this time will definitely attract a lot of attention. If we don't handle it properly, the trend will not stop."

What the Queen Mother said was righteous, but Tianpeng, who had been affected by some of the power of the Desire Realm before, couldn't help but ask a question.

"My lady, if it doesn't affect my job, what's wrong with missing you a little?"

The Queen Mother stared at Tianpeng for a while, making his hair stand on end, and then she slowly said, "It's fine if the thought doesn't affect your job, but emotions are things that change and can affect people and gods. Even if it doesn't affect you now, it will affect you sooner or later in the future."

"Once we gods get emotional, the three realms will inevitably be in turmoil. Let's not talk about the distant past, let's talk about Yunhua. What do you think should be done with her three children? What about her husband?"

"Let them die of old age? Will Yunhua agree? Let them ascend to heaven and become gods. That would open the door for Yunhua today. If other gods think the same way in the future, how would we deal with it? Have you all forgotten what caused the last war among the gods? Can the spiritual energy of the human world support so many gods now?"

Hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven also fell silent. Finally, he said to the Great Golden Crow: "Just follow your Majesty's wishes. If Yunhua resists..."

After a moment of silence, the Emperor of Heaven said quietly, "Pierce her scapula and bring her up. As for her husband and children, if they resist, they will be executed on the spot!"

Looking at the departing child and Tianpeng, the Emperor of Heaven sighed and summoned Tiannu, asking him to put the magic mirror back to its original position.

At the same time, he looked towards the thunder-surge in the East China Sea and whispered, "This is truly a troubled time. I wonder how many acquaintances will remain after this time?"

"Your Majesty, we are not the center of the vortex this time, why are you worried?"

The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she heard this. The Emperor of Heaven sneered and said, "We are not in the center of the vortex, but didn't the Queen realize that Longji has been in the lower world for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed. Longji was the most talented child of her and the Emperor of Heaven, and the child who had the greatest hope of surpassing her.

The panicked Queen Mother looked towards the human world and saw the fate of the Qingluan Douque in Phoenix Mountain entangled with the human world. Her eyes immediately turned red and she said angrily: "How dare they!"

"Why wouldn't they dare? Since they have already offended you and me, why don't they let us know a little bit about their power? Their methods are quite secretive. If they hadn't used the magic mirror to observe the human world this time, I wouldn't have known that Long Ji had fallen into it."
