Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1103 Great Sage, Stop Using Your Supernatural Powers (Part 2)

Clang! Clang!
Swords clashed, their clear sounds echoing around them.

Green waters and verdant mountains, lush algae-covered land, and two rows of sword shrimp respectfully escorting them.

In less than half an hour, the group changed direction, rode the fat catfish, and came out of the turtle tribe's territory again.

Liang Qu sat upright, looking dazed, wondering if he had been set up and his experiences and time had been erased. He turned to look at Long Eying and asked uncertainly.

"I saw the Western Turtle King?"

"I saw him."

"You spoke to it?"

"said."

"You mean dealing with the dragon?"

"Ah."

After a moment of silence, Liang Qu asked again.

"Done?"

Long Eying hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"It should be done."

Liang Qu turned to look at Long Binglin and asked again, "Did it work?"

Long Binglin was equally bewildered, guessing, "Elder's foresight might be due to the recent frequent contact between our Dragon Clan and the Turtle King, who anticipated this and made a decision in advance?"

Liang Qu had sent Long Binglin early in the morning to sound out Xi Gui's intentions. With the Dragon Clan and the Turtle Clan frequently exchanging information, it was only natural that things would fall into place when the time was right...

"Oh dear," Long Yanrui said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Don't overthink it. I heard everything clearly. The Turtle King agreed to join us in dealing with the Flood Dragon."

In my opinion, of the four great demon kings of the Jianghuai region, the Flood Dragon and the Iron-Headed Fish are both treacherous ministers! They should be used to refine elixirs! The Frog King didn't enjoy the Dragon's favor for long; his feelings are superficial. After considering all the options, only the Western Turtle King possesses deep affection, is honest and kind as a turtle, and is extremely loyal!

"Elder, when you ascend the Dragon King's throne, my sister Eying will become Empress, Haifangzhu will become Imperial Merchant, Frog King will become General, and the remaining one will be Turtle King—he should be appointed Prime Minister!"

Say it.

Two long tendrils stand straight up, swaying left and right like windshield wipers, attracting attention.

Once everyone was looking at him, the fat catfish retracted its long whiskers, patted its belly, cleared its throat, and began to speak eloquently and at length.

wrong.

Nothing!
This matter is related to the Dragon People, but not extensively.

The reason for the success was that I, the number one warrior under the Heavenly God, infiltrated the Turtle Clan. I swallowed a fish in three bites and devoured a hundred and eighty fish in a row. With the charm of the fish, I shocked the whole audience. My outstanding business ability made me successfully win the business and facilitated this negotiation. I deserve the credit!
Another frog king also deserves credit for this.

Without the Fierce Fang General, the Turtle King and Frog King will not participate in the battle, and not participating in the battle is the same as not participating in the battle.

Through reasoning, it can be proven that: the participation of the Frog King and the Turtle King in the battle is equivalent to the participation of the Fierce Fang General, while the Frog King and the Turtle King did not participate in the battle; the battle merits of the Frog King and the Turtle King are equivalent to the battle merits of the Fierce Fang General, while the Frog King and the Turtle King did not have any battle merits.

In summary.

The Dragon Palace General, the Dragon Palace Prime Minister, and the Dragon Palace Treasures are all mine!
"Snapped!"

Liang Qu stomped his foot to urge the fat catfish to swim forward properly and not to get distracted by eavesdropping, interrupting, or interfering. He then offered a word of encouragement.

"That's right, Fatty, you've made great contributions, but you're still a little short of being the most meritorious. If you have the chance, bring in another demon king."

Drag another demon king!
The gods bestowed a great responsibility upon this fish, and the fat catfish's whiskers suddenly folded at a ninety-degree angle.

"Hahaha, Demon King? Where are you going to find one, Fatty? In the East China Sea? Do you even know where the East China Sea is?" Long Yanrui mocked mercilessly. The Huai River was no longer as bustling as it once was. Looking around, in the vast Five Lakes, where could one find a Demon King to plunder?
The fat catfish tried to flick its tail to shake Long Yanrui off, but the god was on its back, their whiskers poking each other. Sullen and unhappy, it secretly made a grudge...

Liang Qu didn't take it seriously.

He looked back at the turtle clan's territory, which was about to disappear from sight.

An unexpected encounter.

Before coming to Xishui today, Liang Qu had prepared a whole host of arguments, including a strong analysis of the enemy's and our own strengths, the probability of success, and even the distribution of the Dragon Palace's treasures after the battle. He was 80% confident that he could persuade the Western Turtle King to join him in fighting the dragon.

The dragon is an outsider, while assisting the white ape is a meritorious act of following the dragon. The Western Turtle once joined forces with the Frog King to protect the remnants of the Dragon Human Clan and the Dragon Sturgeon Clan. The two sides have a long-standing feud. Even if we take a step back, the latter is more advantageous.

Unexpectedly, when the time came, the Western Turtle King looked him up and down for a long time and only asked some unrelated questions about life. The only thing related to the event itself was the distribution of the treasure and the time. There was no bargaining on the treasure. The Turtle King agreed directly, only asking that the time be postponed for a year, to after May of next year, as it also needed time to prepare.

One year.

We will start next year.

It wasn't a long time, still within the margin of the Liangqu plan, so he agreed.

And that was it.

Having accomplished their task, the Western Turtle King didn't stay for dinner; instead, they turned and left.

Much of the prior preparation was in vain.

"Regardless of the purpose, interrupting the Jiaolong's progress and muddying up the Huai River is ultimately a good thing..."

Liang Qu pondered, guessing that if he didn't act soon, it wouldn't be more than ten years, or even less, before the Flood Dragon King would "achieve great success in his divine skills," initiate the Long Flood Dragon Waterwalking Ceremony, and ascend to the Demon Emperor level.

At that time, the path for the Great Sage Water Ape to advance further may very well be blocked by the Flood Dragon!

He didn't forget.

The journey from Water Monkey to Swamp Marmoset, and from Swamp Marmoset to Water King Ape, all require certain favors and cannot be accomplished simply by accumulating enough essence. However, since the Water Monkey's journey to Swamp Marmoset is completed beforehand, the five favors required for the Swamp Marmoset's journey to Water King Ape are not difficult to achieve.

If the Western Turtle King also harbored ambitions for the throne, then the process would be different from that of the Flood Dragon King. It would at least drag on until the Dragon King disappeared for two Jiazi (60 years), giving Liang Qu more time to prepare.

Whether a "born dragon" will emerge to disrupt things is another story and interpretation altogether.

"Five horse-drawn carriages, all done!"

Blood Fiend Divine Power, Exposed Seeds, Five Great Demon Kings, Internal Spy...

Everything that needed to be prepared was prepared, and the surprise attack plan was proceeding smoothly.

Liang Qu exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Binglin, you'll stay with the Dragonkin for now, and continue your duties of contacting the Demon King as before. Yanrui, go home. The fleet is coming to Pingyang to unload cargo soon. The Third Elder is in seclusion, so take responsibility for anything the clan needs and show concern for it. Eying, remember to prepare a map and compass; we're going to the Tridacna Clan's territory tomorrow!"

……

The next day.

Liang Qu packed up and prepared to go to the East China Sea. An official from the River and Lake Administration delivered an invitation.

"Captain, the invitation." Yue Yanyu bowed.

"What invitation? Whose invitation?"

Liang Qu flipped through the bright red invitation card, not remembering any major events recently. Could it be that the commanders of the Three Judicial Offices and the Demon Suppression Office had been promoted to the Zhenxiang level?

It shouldn't be.

At the end of February after the New Year, the family brought back resources and exchanged them for the Qi of Heaven and Earth. But that wasn't the end of it. There were still two of the five difficulties in absorbing Qi. They had to go to the Imperial Observatory to calculate the suitable medium for absorbing Qi for each individual and search for it.

Even if the medium is easy to find, and it's not some three-legged toad, but a seventy-year-old cicada, it will take at least another month to recover. It's only April now, and we don't even know if Zuo Heng and the others have "eaten qi" yet.

"It's Lord Ke's wedding invitation."

"Huh?" Liang Qu was surprised. Recalling that Ke Wenbin had also been in a relationship for many years, time had flown by, and the woman was probably in her early twenties and should have practiced some martial arts. "When?"

"June 27th, the month after next in the capital."

"Alright, I have something urgent to attend to. Tell them when you return to Hebo that you will definitely prepare a generous gift."

"Yes!"

Liang Qu flipped through the invitation.

The romantic relationships of spiritual practitioners are very different from those of ordinary people.

He himself was an exception. Normally, martial arts masters would consider marriage alliances and get married relatively late. But at Zhenxiang, whether or not one got married didn't matter much. For example, Xu Yuelong was already a powerful part of the family.

As for carrying on the family line, General Xu Wenzhu was the third son in his family, which was thriving, so he didn't have much pressure.

"During the New Year holidays, it seems that Master's wife arranged marriages for Senior Brother Lu and the others?"

Looking back, Liang Qu chuckled and shook his head.

The good thing is that it will be a bit of a headache to decide what gifts to give each person in the future.

Alright, household chores should be handled by Eying. Eying, go and think about it.

"Eying, did you bring the map and compass?"

Long Eying raised her hands and shook the compass and map in them.

"Alright!" A white ball appeared, a white ape emerged, and lifted the old giant clam. "Old Bei, let's go!"

"Hey, slow down, slow down!"

……

East China Sea.

Emerging from the waterway connecting to the Sea Abyss Palace, the white ape held up the three-zhang-tall giant clam shell with one hand, while Long Eying sat on its other shoulder.

"Southeast..." Long Eying adjusted the compass and pointed with her index finger, "This way!"

"Alright, as you say, Madam. Onward to the Tridacna territory!"

The water roared, countless tiny hands lifted the beam canal, pulling out cotton-white bubbles, and swiftly sailing to the East China Sea.

"Wow."

The shrimp retracted into its shell.

The small fish escaped.

three days later.

The fish swirled around, and a thorough search yielded nothing.

The white ape looked around.

"Old Bei, are you sure this is the place? Do you even remember it?"

"Hmm, calm down, calm down..." The old giant clam landed on the ground, groped around for a long time, and hesitated before saying, "Perhaps we should go further ahead?"

Liang Qu: "..." Has this old man been away for too long and forgotten his hometown?
Fortunately.

After searching for almost half a month, a monkey, a dragon, and a giant clam finally found a dense algae forest based on the clues from the fish. The algae in the forest were thick and several tens of feet long, stretching endlessly, interspersed with many dead fish, and small fish and shrimp were feeding around the dead fish.

The little sprite controlled by the golden eyes gave a vague response: this is a dead algae forest, with no way out once you enter.

Something's been orchestrated!

The old giant clam was very excited and went straight into it, leading Liangqu to walk around for a long time, stopping and starting.

The lush green seaweed forest suddenly disappeared, and a bright and open view appeared before my eyes.

The canyon stretches far and wide.

Sunshine, white sand beach, with black reefs standing tall in the white sand beach.

On the reef.

Tridacna shell!

So many giant clams!

Each one is plump and full, its large shell basking in the sunlight.

Although not as exaggerated as the old giant clam, their body length is all over three feet.

Spring has arrived, all things are reviving, and it's the season for giant clams to socialize in the East China Sea once again.

"Ha ha!"

The white ape's eyes shone brightly as it was about to approach when the giant clam suddenly convulsed and spewed out a stream of white liquid. Part of it dissipated in the water and drifted with the current, while the rest scattered towards other giant clams.

Liang Qu realized something, his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled Long Eying into his arms. The [Vortex Palace] opened and closed, and the vortex water formed the [Vortex God Armor], isolating them from all directions without any blind spots.

The giant clam tribe's reproductive methods are truly "unrestrained".

They each went into the water, and what happened after that was up to fate.

The unusual movement of the water alerted the giant clam, which was communicating with the white ape. Upon seeing the white ape, they were terrified.

"Who are you! How dare you trespass into my clan's sacred ground!"

"Elder! Elder!"

"Oh no! Oh no! Monkeys are attacking!"

"Boom bang bang."

The giant clam shell is tightly closed.

“Not all of them are as old-fashioned as Old Giant Clam.” Liang Qu listened to the Giant Clam’s accent and felt a sense of difference compared to Old Giant Clam’s constant use of classical Chinese phrases. “Old Bei, go!”

"Let us sit down calmly, without haste!"

An old giant clam emerged slowly from behind the white ape, instantly attracting the attention of the giant clams and causing a stir.

"A giant tridacna?"

"No, my eyes are like rulers. They are two inches short of the required distance of three zhang. Within three years, I will surely become a great demon!"

boom!
The giant clam demon—this is a terrifying level of cultivation that only a handful of clan elders can achieve!
Top-tier high-shell!

"Which elder is it in person?"

"Never seen him before, could he be a wandering vagabond?"

"It's so awesome!"

The old giant clam was secretly pleased with itself.

The power of the giant clam clan is immediately apparent from its size; few can surpass it. With this one strike, it instantly seizes the initiative!
"Hurry up," Liang Qu urged. He had already received a message from Long Pingjiang that the fleet had reached the Jianghuai Marshland, and as a captain, he had to be there.

With his mood largely ruined, the old tridacna reluctantly asked, "Who is in charge here?"

"It's the Second Elder! You went to look for him, and he's coming right away!"

The voice just fell.

A giant clam, spanning three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in length and larger than the old giant clam, stood upright on the ground. The soft flesh inside its shell wriggled and gradually crawled closer.

A true giant clam demon!
Not some half-baked expert like Old Giant Clam!
The Second Elder didn't recognize the old giant clam, but with so many giant clams in the sea, it was normal not to recognize some. He glanced at the white ape and scolded without mercy: "Since you are a giant clam, you know the clan rules. How dare you bring outsiders here?"

This classical Chinese, this accent.

Right!
The older generation certainly has its own way of communicating.

The old giant clam was not annoyed. It went straight to the point and said that the white ape was a master it had met during its travels and wanted to come to the tribe's territory to touch the giant clam pearl. It said that touching it would not cause any harm, but was just a kind of spiritual practice.

The giant clam tribe was astonished.

Touching a giant clam shell pearl?
That's the lifeblood of the giant clam!

The young giant clam was also unwilling.

The second elder, too lazy to reply, simply shooed them away: "Leave now! Don't say you weren't warned!"

The old giant clam tried to dissuade him.

Back and forth, repeatedly pulled and tugged.

The white ape sat on the reef, and seeing that the Second Elder would not agree no matter what, it picked up Long Eying and got up.

"Wow."

Seeing the white ape's actions, the Second Elder assumed it was finally giving up and mockingly urged, "Go and never return!"

However, the white ape did not go outside. Instead, it branded its paws onto the white sand and went straight to the Second Elder.

The old giant clam, who had originally intended to persuade the second elder, understood the implication and remained silent.

I've been nagging you for ages and you still won't listen. Are you getting impatient with the monkey?
One must be able to use words, not martial arts.

Monkey Head may not have much else, but he has incredible strength!
The enemy not only refused to leave but also looked down at them from their high vantage point. Enraged by this blatant offense, the Second Elder roared, "Halt! What do you intend to do?!"

The shadow was cast onto the seashell.

The white ape looked up at the midday sun, then opened its arms, suddenly bent down, and embraced the Second Elder.

Long Eying grabbed the monkey's fur and climbed up until she stood on its shoulder.

Teng.

White sand swirled in the air.

"Insolence!" The Second Elder leaped into the air, furious. He immediately slammed his shell shut. "A mayfly trying to shake a tree! My body is imbued with the power of Heaven. What kind of insect are you to strip me of my shell?!"

It could tell that the white ape was exceptionally strong, most likely a powerful demon of the third realm. The ape could withstand the weight of the earth it was connected to, but it was useless!
It is at the second realm, and with the giant clam's talent, a mere third-realm demon could never threaten it!

The white ape ignored him.

The shell was too big, so it flipped around for a while, found a suitable position to exert force, and gradually tightened its upper arm, causing its muscles to bulge.

"Bang~"

The giant clam shell felt the immense force of the shell and was slightly startled, but it remained composed and mocked, "Not full from porridge? As weak as a maiden!"

The white ape did not reply.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Like a hinge spring being pulled to a critical point.

The great demon tridacna's expression changed slightly, but its tone remained the same.

"Even coarse food and bran won't fill your stomach? And even straw and firewood are hard to carry!"

"Are you working on an empty stomach? You haven't even finished your load of dirt!"

"So weak! So weak! Wielding the hammer like a duster!"

"boom!"

what sound?
The young man was startled.

The shouting suddenly stopped.

The usually composed and taciturn Second Elder.

Are you saying you're tired?
An invisible pressure seemed to spread through the water, making all the young people gasp for breath.

The white ape's arm muscles swelled several times their normal size, its golden eyes gleamed like gold, and its canine teeth bulged out.

"Roar!"

A low drink.

In the tooth-grinding pressure.

"Crack!"

The Second Elder's expression changed drastically.

"Let go! Don't force me!"

"Kaka!"

"Solve it! Solve it urgently!"

"Kakaka!"

"Once touched, proceed swiftly, without hesitation!"

"Kakaka..."

"Great Sage! Stop using your supernatural powers! Stop using your supernatural powers!"

"boom!"

The giant clam shell landed, creating a dent and a cloud of dust.

Liang Qu clapped his hands.

"Second Elder, you should have said so earlier, you should have said so earlier."
