Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1097 A Thousandfold Qi Sea! The Ape King Strikes! (5k4, requesting monthly votes, two chapters combined)

Swallows and sparrows fly low.

"Pinghe, put down what you're doing and go back to your clan's territory first."

"Oh, you're in the clan territory for the ten-day holiday? That's perfect. Work overtime and have Binglin and Yanrui bring the First Elder and Second Elder to Pingyang immediately! The journey... should take at least half a month. Make sure everything at home is settled before you come. If there's anything good, it'll be good for your cultivation."

"Pingjiang, something urgent has come up. You need to travel by waterway to Pingyang and inform Commander Xu and Commander Wei about visiting the Immortal Island..."

Liangqu severed the spiritual link.

The Pingyang government wants to participate, and so do their in-laws.

This is a rare opportunity, so everyone should benefit!
"Can I go for the Hunting Tiger challenge?" Xu Zishuai raised his hand.

"Hunting tigers..." Liang Qu pondered, "We can give it a try."

It's not easy to guarantee success with ordinary tiger hunting, but Xu Zishuai is practicing the Dragon Court Immortal Island Technique that I gave him. It's always beneficial to observe the process beforehand.

There are only two kinds of people going to Fairy Island: those who are an eyesore and those who are not. Since they are an eyesore, given the size ratio between Fairy Island and people, it makes no difference whether one is there or one is not. There are only a few Zhenxiang in the whole of Pingyang. Pack them up and they are no bigger than a sesame seed.

News of the rising Qi Sea reached the Three Judicial Offices and the Demon Suppression Office.

"The Immortal Island has such miraculous effects? It's a pity we were a step too late; time waits for no one."

Zuo Heng, Sui Hongyan, Gongye Kaifei, and You Huaying felt a pang of regret and wished they could slap their thighs in frustration.

Less than ten days had passed without any reply from the family, and the Heavenly Qi had vanished without a trace. Refining the Heavenly Qi would also require a month's gap, and given the current speed at which the Immortal Island was gathering Qi, it was impossible to catch up in time.

Life's opportunities are always so unfortunate.

If it had been two or three months earlier, when I had just advanced to the True Manifestation stage, I would have been able to reap the benefits of the Immortal Island without any transition. Perhaps my Qi Sea could have been fully replenished, saving me several or even more years of hard work!

It’s beautiful to think about.

"The Creation Treasure Ship is incredibly fast; judging by the time it takes, it should be able to return the day after tomorrow!"

"Why do you think Commandant Liang is always able to uncover things that others can't?"

"Is it the destiny of a dragon crossing the river?"

"Does one's destiny really have such a significant impact?"

evening.

The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds.

Xu Yuelong, Wei Lin, Yang Dongxiong, the Crown Prince of Yue, members of the Dragon Clan, the head of the Weng family... a total of more than twenty people were all present.

Liang Qu raised his hand: "Your Excellency the Governor!"

"Is everyone here?" Su Guishan asked, looking around with his hands behind his back.

"Done!"

"The Whale King gave us the southeast corner."

"Understood. Southeast corner of the fairy island, let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, Liang Qu caused the air around him to move without wind, like snakes lifting everyone up. Finally, the snakes merged and transformed into a great blue dragon, soaring straight up!

As the endless Cloud Whale King appeared, the Azure Dragon paused briefly. More than twenty people stepped onto the dragon's spine and bowed in unison. Then the Azure Dragon rose again and slowly descended onto the Immortal Island Plaza.

The sky is vast and the earth is wide.

The sun was fiery red.

Ten days later, I returned to the Cloud Immortal Island, and the scenery was different again. A huge white jade square had been fully built, and a long staircase leading to the ethereal Dragon Court was on its way.

A divine sight!

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the translucent white jade steps, and layers of bright orange light surged, making everyone's faces look like they had eaten too many carrots, glowing orange.

Su Guishan took a deep breath: "The Qiongqi is extremely wonderful, the building has arrived, something never before seen..."

Xu Zishuai squatted down and touched the bricks and stones: "It's truly magnificent."

"It looks better than the ones below."

"Let's look back, let's look back." Liang Qu interrupted everyone's sighs, "Let's move upwards first, let's move upwards first, we need to see the effect of the construction in progress, we must not delay."

Having experienced both dreams and reality, Liang Qu, familiar with the route, took the lead, waving like a tour guide on the white jade steps.

The crowd bowed, paid their respects to the Celestial Island once more, stepped onto the jade steps, and proceeded slowly and deliberately toward the Dragon Court.

A person's need for courtesy is like a fish's need for water.

The Azure Dragon could fly directly to the Dragon Court, but there's no need for it.

The square is the entrance to the fairy island; no one drives to the living room and then turns off the engine.

Ascend to the Dragon Court.

Liang Qu opened his Qiankun bag and handed out prayer mats to his wife and the dragon-human: "Hurry up! Find a place to sit, don't spread out too far, about 1 zhang apart is about right, Eying, you sit next to me."

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The masters in the room knew that time was precious, and immediately adjusted their thoughts.

With his rich experience and perfect harmony with the Great Dao of Immortal Island, Liang Qu was the first to enter a meditative state. His terrifying sea of ​​qi, eight hundred and twenty-one times larger than normal, surged once more, each contraction and expansion like a tsunami, emanating a suppressive aura.

Everyone looked sideways.

"Just how many Qi Seas does this kid have? How come he exudes such immense power?"

Su Guishan was not without apprehension.

Qi Hai is to Zhen Xiang, and Qi Xue is to hunting tigers and beacon fires.

The larger the Qi Sea, the more it feels like a weak rabbit encountering a fierce tiger, creating a sense of oppression and making it difficult to move.

He glanced inward at the vast sea of ​​qi within his body, more than eighty times its normal size…

Liang Qu often travels far away and has heard a lot about various great deeds, but he has rarely experienced them firsthand. The last time was when they were clearing out the Danmai together. Unknowingly, he has grown to this level?

When faced with a strong opponent, the weak will instinctively band together.

Liang Quren sat down in front, his imposing presence almost twisting their auras into one!
There are still shortcomings!

Xu Yuelong was lost in memories.

Back then, when people were observing the strange phenomena on the fairy island caused by the morning dew, the people in the front row were roughly the same. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, the strange phenomena have become "real phenomena," and everyone's strength has collectively risen to a new level.

Oh.

Someone skipped several steps.

The hardest thing in life is to revisit a familiar place and find that your friends are still the same.

The only pity was that this trip was carried out under the banner of the imperial court, not to generate local revenue, so they did not receive any money for Wei Lin's boat ticket.

Upon realizing this, Xu Yuelong was overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions. The Golden Carp True Qi Fish leaped out, and he devoted himself entirely to the comprehension.

Practice practice!

Let's set a small goal: sixteen times the Qi Sea, let's start by increasing it to twenty!
The rhythm resonated with the heavens and earth, and the surge of his aura surpassed even that of Liang Qu!

Wei Lin's expression turned solemn.

"I've had an epiphany!"

Someone had a sudden realization, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Seeing that Liang Qu and Xu Yuelong had entered a meditative state, the masters knew that it was indeed effective, and they all sat cross-legged, some with their palms facing upwards, others in the lotus position, each with a different meditation posture.

Su Guishan ranked second only to the two.

Following him was Yang Dongxiong, the Dragon Clan Elder who entered meditation even faster than the Celestial Master!
The vast sea of ​​qi, ten times the size of the Heavenly Palace, surged ceaselessly.

The core of "Wansheng Baoyuan" lies in maintaining one's essence, qi, and spirit, preventing them from being consumed internally or lost externally, and ensuring they remain abundant within the body over a long period, embracing and becoming one with the physical form.

In terms of entering a meditative state, this practice, combined with Taoist adaptations, has unique advantages!
The biggest difference between Liang Qu and ordinary people is perhaps that he has seen more, has more thoughts, and more distractions. He has laid a very solid foundation for practicing "Wan Sheng Bao Yuan".

It took less than an hour.

The fiery clouds dimmed, and iron-gray shadows filled the sky.

Everyone's Qi surged in their sea of ​​Qi, and their power gradually increased, just like a large-scale training session before the extermination of the Ghost Mother!

The waves of the Yangtze and Huai rivers surge and the Qi Sea roars.

……

Otter looked up at the sky and watched as the azure dragon disappeared. It returned to the Ice Crystal Palace, glanced at Scarface who was boiling water and making tea, bared its sharp teeth, and then thought of that burly bone club. Its head throbbed, and it couldn't help but support its chin with one paw, sit on the steps, and frown.

In terms of ability.

A defeated foe under Scarface's claws, merely displaying the power of Will's spirit weapon.

In the past, the Hanging Temple did forge weapons. A nine-ringed tin staff, refined thirty times, was smashed into a crooked staff by a large bone club in two battles and was destroyed on the spot. Its "corpse" still lies in the wooden house of the beaver.

Unfortunately, the claw weapon needs more high-quality ingredients, and more high-quality ingredients require gold and silver.

The beaver has stopped paying it.

The salary given by the gods is not enough to cover food and drink expenses each month.

"Oolong, charge!"

"Wang!"

A whirlwind swept by as Wen Shiyun rode the black dragon across the icy plains, its long fur fluttering in the wind.

Otter glanced at it briefly, then looked away.

What an impolite guy.

As a disciple of a celestial being, he did not even pay his respects to it upon arriving in Pingyang; he should be expelled from the sect!

We have to trip him up.

Sudden.

The otter opened its eyes and its mind raced. After thinking of something, it leaped and pounced, doing two and a half spins in the air before landing steadily with its fists clasped in front of it. Then it got up, took the big dog's collar, and followed it around.

"what!"

The dragon stuck out its tongue and gasped for breath.

Otter used to be able to pull Oolong around easily, but now Oolong is too tall and is being held back by Otter, who is three and a half feet tall, so he has to lower his head and walk forward.

Wen Shiyun was initially startled by the dark shadow in front of her, thinking there was a big rat in the Ice Crystal Palace. But upon closer inspection, she realized it was Otter Kai and breathed a sigh of relief, wondering what it was up to.

My master's household is full of strange and wonderful creatures, each with its own unique characteristics.

Among them, the one that Wen Shiyun couldn't figure out the most was Otter Kai.

In bursts.

Last time, when the otter opened its mouth, it crossed its arms with its paws, tilted its head slightly, and looked arrogant and indifferent.

Today I changed my attitude again.

The otter strode forward, counting on its paws.

As a confidant of the gods, its status is even higher than that of the young master. Today, it has condescended to lead the dog and even did several somersaults. It is only reasonable for the young master to give it some silver as a tribute!
……

The sun, moon, and stars revolve.

The Qi Seas of Liang Qu and others grew rapidly through collisions.

Some people grow by three points with each breath, while others grow three times with each breath.

"boom!"

The wooden planks cracked.

Inside Hantai Mansion, Huai Kong leaped out of the wooden house, dodging the attack. His monk's robes fluttered in the moonlight, and he could make out three people in total, all wearing black bodysuits. He sighed inwardly.

"Gentlemen, why must you do this?"

Without a word, the man in black stepped forward with his knife, and before he could even make a move, a streak of golden light flashed across the sky.

"what!"

"what?"

"Can't see clearly, it's a hidden weapon! It's a hidden weapon!"

"He's been poisoned!"

One died and two escaped.

After confirming that no one else would come, Huaikong plucked the prayer beads and tore off the attacker's mask.

Alone in a foreign land, a stranger in a strange land. Things are more complicated than Liang Qu described and imagined...

Awei reports on his work every day, and Liangqu checks on it after finishing his daily practice to keep track of Huaikong's progress.

Assassination and counter-assassination, sneak attack and being sneaked, poisoning and being poisoned—the methods are varied and numerous.

Sanjay appears to be withdrawn, contemplating life and remaining in seclusion. His disciples, however, are causing all sorts of trouble. Fortunately, they are not completely stupid and did not take action themselves, but instead offered a bounty on the black market.

No need to say anything.

Being unfamiliar with the area, many people didn't care about the Hanging Temple, and indeed, the Hanging Temple's influence was limited, resulting in a constant stream of assassins taking orders.

Huai Kong was far away in Hantai, and his life was indeed quite turbulent. Fortunately, the little monk did not suffer in vain. He used the incident of being ambushed to fight back, gained a great advantage in public opinion, and was quite methodical. He was preparing to ruin the enemy's water and land ritual.

"The Buddhist disciples of the Hanging Temple should have the responsibility and commitment to restart a new era. This is entrusted to you, Huaikong!"

Confirm progress.

Liang Qu chose to keep Huai Kong in Hantai Prefecture, giving full play to his initiative.

……

Mid-February.

Snowflakes fell from the sky.

The Cloud Island is gradually taking shape.

The perfect image is composed of six parts: foundation, pillars, beams, walls, roof, and components. If we compare them, the Immortal Island is located at the last step, the "components"!
Glazed tiles are formed piece by piece.

A thin layer of snow covered the white jade bricks, reducing their reflectivity and adding a touch of warmth.

In the vast marshes of the Jianghuai region, several ferocious snake heads emerged, watching the drifting clouds in the sky and whispering amongst themselves.

"Brother Lin, Cloud Immortal Island is a celestial dragon palace located on the banks of the Yangtze and Huai rivers. With such favorable timing and location, wouldn't it be a pity not to take it?"

"What do you know?" Lin Jie hissed, scolding the giant snake beside him, "The Mirage Clan has been gone for ten thousand years. Why would the Immortal Island in the Clouds suddenly reappear in the human world?"

The only remaining clan with any semblance of power, the Mirage Clan, is currently by the side of Marquis Xingyi of the Great Shun Dynasty. Just last month, they came to our valley and stole the vital energy of heaven and earth. Marquis Xingyi of the Great Shun Dynasty is also a friend of the White Ape. How do you know that the imperial court isn't behind the Immortal Island? If the Flood Dragon King were to make a move, wouldn't that play right into the hands of the Great Shun Dynasty, giving them a pretext to send troops and interfere in our Jianghuai Great Marshland?

"My wisdom is not even half as profound as yours."

"Don't let small gains distract you from the greater good. The good thing about the Immortal Island is that it's located in the Great Swamp. Once the Dragon King succeeds and seizes the Dragon Lord's position, how could the Immortal Island possibly escape?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The giant serpent nodded repeatedly, then looked up, a hint of confusion in its eyes, and suddenly exclaimed, "The Immortal Island has vanished!"

"what?"

The snakes suddenly raised their heads.

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds, the once solid fairy island has become transparent again.

"Kakakaka."

The purest snowflakes do not stick to the body.

In the snow, a figure can be clearly seen sitting in meditation.

Wei Lin's bones cracked as he exhaled a long, drawn-out breath.

The sea of ​​consciousness spread.

The surging sea of ​​qi, nearly twenty-six times larger than that of the Heavenly Palace, was turbulent and undulating. The five parts of the Second Heavenly Palace were complete, with only one part missing.

The limit of a normal first-stage Qi Sea is no more than twenty times, but twenty-six times proves that he has broken through the minor limit! His talent is outstanding!

The cultivation of Qi Sea is so slow and arduous, yet it has expanded so greatly in a single day.

Visiting the fairy island was indeed very useful!
half an hour.

Having regulated his qi, Wei Lin suddenly opened his eyes and immediately looked at Xu Yuelong. Seeing that his aura was stable and he had not yet entered the second realm, he breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, a fluctuation of aura came from the side.

His gaze shifted away.

Su Guishan!
Breakthrough!
Wei Lin was taken aback.

Su Guishan was originally a Grandmaster of the Second Realm, and had completed five of the six divisions of the Third Heavenly Palace. Now he is breaking through again...

All three palaces are complete.

Celestial beings?!
Wei Lin scanned the crowd again and found that the auras of the others were more or less stronger, from which he benefited greatly.

Let's look at the central government again.

Huh?
What about people?

boom!
In the center of the Dragon Court, a vigorous column of energy shot straight into the sky, while thin snow fluttered and rippled, piling up in concentric circles of snow mounds.

Thousands of glazed tiles trembled and resonated!

Wei Lin closed his eyes tightly.

Now I know.

"Wow!"

The column of air dissipated in mid-air, the glass stopped trembling, and there was a moment of silence.

Above the rooftop, white mist slowly billowed out like swords.

Liang Qu opened his golden eyes, clenched his fists, and his clothes fluttered.

Look inward at yourself.

A Qi Sea of ​​1,127 times larger, surging and exuberant!
The fairy islands rise and fall, the vast sea stretches out, resembling mirages, jade palaces and towers.

Imagine the power of a thousand times greater than that of the "Dragon Slayer".

Who can withstand it?

Who can stop it?

How can one word, "profit," possibly encompass it all?
In the ordinary realm of perfect phenomena, with each additional pile foundation, the limit of the Qi Sea quadruples. Taking twenty as the limit of one realm, Liangqu is already approaching the limit value!
But it's far from over. Using Zhang Longxiang's triangular pyramid method, the fourth stake can be multiplied by five times, or even more. His limit in the first realm is not twenty!

"I feel like I'm far from my limit."

More than 1,100 miles in total. Liang Qu stretched his shoulders and felt no "swelling" at all. He only felt that the road ahead was empty and there was still a lot of space waiting to be explored!
Unfortunately, if it weren't for the whale king's sudden appearance, which delayed things for a few days, it might have been able to reach 1,500!

Thinking about it this way, even a whale pearl containing 100,000 essences doesn't seem so appealing anymore.

"Boss, boss!" The little mirage dragon flew over and wrapped itself around Liang Qu's forearm with a whoosh. "The ancestor said that the Immortal Island is complete and it needs to be temporarily closed. You should hurry down, or you'll fall down later."

"Close?" Liang Qu looked around and found that the entire immortal island was gradually becoming transparent. "Returning to illusion?"

“That’s right.” The little mirage dragon nodded. “I can’t control the Immortal Island right now, so I’ve turned it into a void to prevent others from coveting it.”

Liang Qu nodded.

The immortal island was originally a physical structure, but it was later transformed into a void through a desperate struggle. Now, with the help of the imperial court, it has been transformed back into a physical structure, and its attributes have obviously been completely changed, allowing it to switch between them to some extent.

It can be used freely to distinguish between reality and illusion.

That's truly amazing!

"Where is Senior Mirage Dragon?" Liang Qu asked curiously, wondering if Mirage Dragon had recovered along with the Immortal Island.

"The ancestor said that it has become the island spirit of the immortal island, in a state of half life and half death, barely surviving."

on one's last legs……

Is this a proper way to use words?
Liang Qu's lips twitched; the little mirage dragon really didn't hold back when it spoke.

"Did Senior Mirage Dragon say when you would be able to control it?"

The little mirage dragon rubbed its claws together and said expectantly, "Our ancestor said that once I become the Demon King, he will give me the Immortal Island!"

Liang Qu automatically ignored the little mirage dragon's expectations.

We can't afford it.

The little mirage dragon wasn't disappointed: "But you can't give me all of it."

"What do you mean?"

"The imperial court holds a 30% stake. After I inherit the Immortal Island, 30% of its area will belong to the imperial court, which will be allowed to engage in commercial activities."

Liang Qu was not surprised at all.

The cabinet is not just sitting idly by; it keeps profits firmly under control.

"Okay, let's go."

The little mirage dragon swam down from the forearm and transformed into a belt.

With the construction of the Immortal Island completed, Su Guishan, Yang Dongxiong, and others gradually recovered from their cultivation, each with a ruddy complexion and a look of great accomplishment.

Especially Su Guishan.

The Three Realms Reach Perfection!

His Qi Sea, which he was in his early eighties, had expanded to over one hundred and fifty! What a magnificent sight! It drew admiration and praise from many.

He achieved great things late in life; his reputation is well-deserved.

"Thank you, thank you. However, the Immortal Island is the ancestral land of the Mirage Clan. Since we have already gained something, it is not advisable to stay any longer. Let's go down first." Su Guishan noticed that the Immortal Island was gradually becoming ethereal and interrupted everyone's congratulations.

"Alright." Liang Qu waved his hand and summoned Qinglong. "Go down and make it easier for Lord Su to arrange the banquet as soon as possible!"

Su Guishan laughed heartily: "It should be decided, it should be decided!"

When people encounter happy events, they are in high spirits, enjoying themselves immensely and engaging in lively banter.

Xu Zishuai leaned close to Yang Dongxiong and whispered, "Master, I've heard that Grandmasters measure their strength by their Qi Sea. How much has your strength increased this time?"

"Twenty is perfect, and the next step is breaking through the minor limit." Yang Dongxiong stroked his beard with satisfaction.

To have cultivated to such a stage in this lifetime is something I never even dared to dream of.

Master is twenty.

Xu Zishuai kept it in mind and then went to ask Long Binglin.

"Twenty-two, I guess."

"Master is quite good, sister-in-law, what about you?"

“Eighty-six,” Long Eying replied.

"My sister-in-law, this Grandmaster is truly amazing!"

"Ah Shui!"

"Don't ask me anymore."

"Why? Tell me so your senior brother can see for himself! You are a celestial being, and you still have inner fire."

Liang Qu raised four fingers.

Four hundred!

Wei Lin, who was eavesdropping silently, was filled with turmoil.

Xu Zishuai was also startled, thinking that over four hundred times the Qi Sea power was indeed his junior brother, a human in disguise. But then he thought, four hundred times is the normal low level among grandmasters of the third realm plus the Heart Flame. Given his junior brother's heaven-defying abilities, it couldn't be that simple. Then what about those four fingers...?

"It can't be four figures, can it?"

Xu Zishuai touched his chin.

"Alright, let's talk about it back home. Uncle is right, we shouldn't stay on the Immortal Island any longer. Let's go down first."

The azure dragon reappeared, engulfing everyone and interrupting Xu Zishuai's train of thought.

"let's go!"

The Azure Dragon swiftly descended from the clouds, and Liang Qu's golden eyes swept across the water, inadvertently catching sight of several large snakes swimming on the surface.

Time waits for no one.

Not yet fully separated from the fairy island, he was already planning his next harvest.

"After spring arrives, it's the perfect time to visit the Tridacna tribe's territory and give the Great Huai Army a piece of their mind..."

The white ape has not been seen in the Jianghuai region for a long time.

It's not good to let the Huai Army do nothing all the time.

Ah Fei's plan to obtain clues about the white ape is now on the agenda.

Before anything big happens, let's desensitize the dragon!
