Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1203 Recreating the King of Chu, Yin and Yang Revolving (Part 1)

Life and death are exchanged.

A chilling aura spread and covered the entire cave, and the little star on the cave ceiling retracted its crimson arms and legs.

Long Eying gripped the Blood Fiend Divine Power Token tightly, her fingernails turning white. Only when the finless porpoises beside her called out to each other, beating drums to transmit messages and rapidly sending signals with their round-headed fins at a ninety-degree angle, did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and put away the Divine Power Token.

According to the South Water Frog King's perception, the "River Stone" in Liangqu is still in the world and has not left the Ghost Mother Cave.

Some kind of mysterious link?
"How amazing! They're definitely remnants of the previous dynasty. The Ghost Mother Cult is quite something! Brother-in-law, this is a series of interconnected layers; it's like your physical body has entered the underworld?" Long Yanrui jumped up and touched the Ghost Mother sculpture's arm. "I really want to go see if there are eighteen levels of hell and boiling oil cauldrons..."

"What are you doing, touching things like that? What kind of nice place is the underworld for you to go play in?" Long E'ying glared at Long Yanrui, who was climbing up and down, and tightened the bag containing the remains of the Net Lord for refining pills. "If you have nothing to do, go outside and patrol with the finless porpoises, or go to the port and help your brother-in-law dig a harbor."

"Oh."

……

boom!
A bright crimson light shone forth.

As the little star was being born and dying, it fell into the palm of the Ghost Mother. Its five slender fingers stood like pillars supporting the sky, just like the scene before.

Consciousness jumps to Patrick Star, then swims to the cave of the Demon Mother sculpture.

Seeing the shadow of the "dead position", Liang Qu leaped with all his might, plunged into the sub-body, and went against the current!

The current flows against the current, swirling and turbulent, pouring forth in torrents.

The little star was sent against the current, revealing a bluish-gray fish body, gradually returning to its bizarre appearance of being half fish and half snake, with tentacles growing all over its scales.

"Wow."

The sound of water rose, and blood-red foam filled the air.

The sub-body successfully entered the Blood River. Liang Qu and the others, who were carefully lurking in the swamp, were shocked, as if they had penetrated an invisible and intangible transparent membrane.

They arrived in a completely different world, their limbs and bones freed from the shackles of heaven and earth, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

really.

Unlike the Whirlpool Palace, the Swamp Kingdom can bring people!
"what?"

As the view changed, Wu Cangshou slowly rose into the air, floating in mid-air as if no longer bound by gravity, roaming freely, even more freely than in the water.

The fat catfish swung its tail, but couldn't get any leverage. It was momentarily disoriented and bumped into the frog. It immediately spat out ink and, using the recoil, darted away like a squid.

"Croak! Pava! Hahaha, endless Pava! They're back, they're all back! This elder lacks nothing now! What do you mean by impending doom! From this moment on, I am the Great Demon Duobao! Call me the Spirit Toad Frog!"

The old toad laughed wildly, shouting in the foreign language Liang Qing had learned, grabbed the frog's leg, spun around three and a half times in the air, sticking out its round belly, and stretching its limbs towards the sky and earth.

As soon as it passed through the membrane, it felt an endless surge of energy flowing into its body. It was no longer weak, powerless, or breathless. It moved its limbs, its strong frog legs kicking and leaping, soaring freely between heaven and earth.

Is this what it feels like to be a great demon?
So cool.

I really will live another five hundred years!
"Wuhu!"

The old toad leaped and bounded about, full of vigor and energy, like a bouncy ball. It used the fat catfish's head to propel itself upwards, knocking the black catfish aside, then used the frog's belly to return, making a second attempt, and knocking the black catfish again, having a great time.

The fat catfish flipped over, its fins whipping around in a small whirlwind as it tried to control its direction.

Wu Cangshou lost his grip, and the tortoise shell spun in mid-air. He inadvertently glanced at "himself" behind him and was horrified.

"what is that?"

The demons turned around at the sound.

Wu Cangshou, Old Toad, Frog Guerrilla, Fat Catfish, Liangqu...

One by one, replicas of "themselves" lay sprawled on the ground!

How can there be two? Did it split into two?

"Out-of-body experience?" Recalling what Liang Qu had said about where he had come to, Wu Cangshou scratched his paws and immediately realized what was going on. He grabbed the old toad's leg and said, "What kind of great demon are you? You're just free from the constraints of a physical body, so you're not sickly anymore! You only feel comfortable when your stomach hurts!"

"Croak! A soul?" The old toad was shocked and clutched its belly to examine itself.

“It seems that it didn’t come to the underworld in its physical body, but rather the separation was completed within the body of the Ghost Mother’s ritual.” Liang Qu’s consciousness returned, and his expression became calm. He looked at his seated body, reached out his hand, and there was a layer of resistance between the two.

"No wonder we feel free from constraints, floating in the sky. Does this mean we're not bound by our physical bodies?" Wu Cangshou wasn't too alarmed. It believed that Liang Qu wouldn't leave no way out, and since he was so familiar with the route, it must not be his first time here.

Liang Qu nodded and turned to say, "Frog Master, if you cannot be promoted in the next two days, you may never be able to go back. It's all or nothing."

"Croak?" The old toad's face turned pale.

"Boss Fatty, if we succeed, how do we get back?" Frog Guerrilla swayed and found his way.

"Long Eying is outside with the pills. I will remind her when it's time to switch back to the life and death position of Pai Xiaoxing and use my small world again to go back."

"Can the Prince of Huai contact the outside world at any time?" Wu Cangshou asked in surprise.

"There is a way."

Wu Cangshou breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could make contact, there was nothing to fear. There were so many heroes in the world; there was always a way.

"Let's go outside and talk about it."

Liang Qu was originally thinking about how to bring people in to develop the other world, but unexpectedly, the old toad forced him to unleash his potential and, with the help of the Xuan Turtle, directly found the "bug".

Now, by using the rituals of the Ghost Mother Cult to make the little star body of Pai die and be reborn repeatedly, he can freely enter and leave the underworld. Judging from the remains of Net Master, it is no problem for him to go back and forth seven or eight times.

The blood-red river flowed and crashed against the riverbank.

The small asteroid disappeared and entered the swamp.

The fat catfish shrinks, is enveloped by tiny asteroids, moves outward, and then enlarges.

The fat catfish disappears and then reappears.

A man, a turtle, and two frogs all came out and ascended to the underworld.

Gravity pulls us forward, and we stand firmly on the ground.

"The Prince of Huai's methods are truly boundless, but why use such a complicated method of entry and exit?" Wu Cangshou clicked his tongue in amazement, utterly astonished. Kings never meet, and the old toad was nowhere to be seen. It often went to the pond at Liang's residence to sunbathe, but now it realized it was practically meeting Liang Qu for the first time.

"Our abilities are limited, so this is all we can do."

Liang Qu was helpless.

The mechanism in the Zeguo region is quite complex.

First, the Swamp Kingdom is divided into two layers: an inner small world and an outer manifested national territory. This is also the main change that led to the Swamp Kingdom's advancement from the Vortex Palace.

The size of the kingdom is equivalent to the volume of water that its inner miniature world can hold.

Within the domain, the enemy's "original" and "favor" will be greatly suppressed. At the same time, Liangqu's ability to compress the size of water beasts will increase dramatically, while enlarging them will not change, still subject to the multiplier of Ruyi's long-lasting energy.

Secondly, the movement of things in and out must rely on the control of water beasts.

In this way, the tiny star-shaped body, which only spreads out to three feet, simply cannot carry a person; it cannot contain them. It must be a fat catfish. Its mouth is large, making it unparalleled among aquatic beasts. Then the fat catfish shrinks to allow the star-shaped body to carry it.

The frog clan originally wanted to send a powerful demon along, but the fat catfish couldn't swallow it.

Of all the operations, the most crucial issue is import and export.

When Liang Qu is outside, things in the inner kingdom can come out by borrowing from any water beast, no matter how far away the water beast is. But if Liang Qu is inside, the Ze Kingdom will move with the last water beast that enters or leaves.

In the past, when the Ghost Mother Cult was attacked, there was a master named Chen Shixuan who used a strange stone to create a small world. The space followed him, and once he entered, the space became fixed.

The same was true of the Whirlpool Palace in the past, but the Swamp Kingdom broke free from this fixed pattern, which was more ingenious, but it was not very useful. It could not hide the "stone in the river", and the water beast "carrying" the Liangqu could not pass through the [whirlpool escape path].

“The current Zeguo is (pseudo) (small), roughly equivalent to dimension 0.1. After it advances further, it may become a parallel world, hiding ‘river stones’ that come out of the mouths of different water beasts, like higher-dimensional beings…” Liang Qu’s mind conjured up a strange image of a white hedgehog-headed man emerging from a toad’s mouth.

Wu Cangshou didn't ask any more questions and began to observe the surrounding environment.

There were no rice paddies on either side of the river, only spider lilies. The climate was cold, with snow falling, just like winter outside. Even in winter, there were spider lilies. Every plant and tree amazed it.

The fat catfish transformed into four limbs and came ashore. It picked a red spider lily, put it in its mouth to taste, and then handed one to the frog slitherer, who also put it in its mouth.

"Sweet!" The frog's eyes magnified.

The old toad perked up its ears, put its hands on its hips, and announced that this was its newly discovered world, and that eating flowers required paying.

Wu Cangshou stroked his forehead with his tortoise claws.

These three frogs were so clueless and silly that they had no idea how important things were.

The underworld!
This is the legendary underworld!
The Great Ancestor of Dali and the Mirage Dragon—what magnificent ancient legends!

You should be shocked, incredulous, horrified, and speechless, not wide-eyed, prostrate on the ground, and say that the spider lilies here taste sweet!
"Master Shou".

Wu Cangshou suppressed his inner grumbling, knowing the important matter at hand. He looked at the old toad collecting money from the fat catfish and the frog guerrillas, and was greatly shocked: "Good fortune! Such high good fortune! There's hope! Quickly bring it to your little world; it should be able to give you another boost!" Changing the world, it's useful!

It was all for nothing that I went to such great lengths, revealing my trump card and the underworld.

Multi-Evolution is worth it!

Liang Qu said sternly, "Frog King! Only two days left! It's all or nothing! Have you forgotten the future of the Frog Clan?"

"Alas..." The old toad stood solemnly on the riverbank, his webbed feet swaying in the breeze. "I sense a great demon calling! Is the first great demon of the Jianghuai region, Duobao, about to be born?"

Frogs roam freely, and fat catfish stare wide-eyed at the frogs.

Say it.

"Legless frog, open your mouth!"

The fat catfish opened its mouth wide.

"I have arrived!"

The old toad leaped back into the swamp, curled up into a ball, shivered, and its skin quickly lost its color, turning gray and gradually transforming into a rock.

The other monsters followed closely behind.

"Is this how we begin?" Liang Qu asked.

Wu Cangshou shook his head: "I don't know, perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't. Entering your little world has increased my fortune, and I already have hope of success. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Whether it succeeds or not depends on destiny. The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and humans escape one. Great demons with many treasures are indeed not tolerated by Heaven and Earth..."

Liang Qu understood the meaning.

He only hoped that the lightning tribulation after he got out wouldn't be too strong.

It's considered a success if you don't end up with a completely bald head.

Taking the old toad to the underworld and changing the world depends entirely on oneself; the superfluous Liangqu cannot help.

"Ah Fei, Frog Guerrilla, you two take good care of Frog Master. We're counting on you to look after us."

"Do not worry."

"Fatty."

Watching the fat catfish disappear and reappear, Wu Cangshou sighed inwardly at Liang Qu's mystery. He even had a way to enter and exit the underworld, and it seemed like he knew someone there...

"Why does it feel like Prince Huai comes here all the time?"

Returning to the Blood River, Liang Qu's bones cracked and popped as he looked up at the sky.

"came back!"

Previously operating under the aliases of a strange fish and a white ape, it can now finally appear in its true form!

The surrounding area was desolate and deserted.

Originally, the sub-body had already arrived at the River God Sect, but unexpectedly, it returned after being resurrected and ran to an unknown place. Fortunately, Liang Qu was much faster than the sub-body and quickly found a nearby sect to find out its location. Using the "Water Travel Thousand Miles" technique, it sped to the River God Sect. Without rushing back, it reached out and pulled out two "gray mists".

"Goooooooooo."

The river of blood resembled sulfuric acid, bubbling and billowing.

Then countless drops of blood gathered on the gray mist, gradually forming two "blood figures".

Half a day passed in a flash, and plates formed on the old toads in the swamp.

As the blood river washed over them, the features of King Chu and Yi Chen gradually became clearer. Liang Qu remained tense at all times, and whenever King Chu exuded the aura of a Martial Saint, he would lean against the River God Sect.

There are no "river stones" in the underworld, but there are bloodstone tablets. They are organized by sect, one tablet per sect. One sixth-realm cultivator in a sect is one tablet, and ten sixth-realm cultivators are also one tablet. When the King of Chu becomes a Martial Saint, he does not belong to any sect and will send down a new bloodstone tablet, which will be noticed by the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Fortunately, firstly, upon arriving in the underworld, one's strength will be greatly reduced, to less than one-tenth of what it was; secondly, King Chu had already killed the Martial Saint himself.

However, the changes brought about by the King of Chu were still far greater than those of the past. Half of the blood river was boiling, billowing thick smoke, and bubbles kept bursting, splashing into the sky.

Rumble.

The river surged and eroded.

"Hmm... Where am I? Wasn't I... dead?"

His consciousness was hazy as he awoke from a long sleep. The King of Chu opened his eyes but could see nothing clearly. All he could see was a blood-red expanse before him, and he could not breathe, as if he were in water.

"you're awake?"

The King of Chu coughed violently, discerned the direction, swam out, and gasped for breath. He immediately saw Liang Qu sitting on the bank, and his pupils dilated: "It's you?"

"it's me."

"Where am I? Didn't I commit suicide?"

"Naturally, it is the underworld."

The King of Chu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I wish this place were the underworld, so that it would prove you had also perished, which would be truly gratifying! Tell me, what trick was it, and how did you save me? I died before you. If this were truly the underworld, I should be on the shore waiting for you to come out!"

Liang Qu shrugged and pointed to the side.

The King of Chu turned around and was immediately stunned.

In the river of blood, Yi Chen reshaped into human form, with flesh and blood clinging to him.

This……

I waded through the water and looked around.

A crimson river of blood, with spider lilies blooming on both banks, from bones to muscles...

The King of Chu clenched his fists.

"What... happened?"

Liang Qu held up two fingers: "In short, now you have two choices: one, work for me in the underworld; two, die again."

The King of Chu composed himself: "Hmph, why should I work for you? I am a dead man, and the Great Qian Dynasty has perished. What can you give me?"

"As long as the Empress Dowager and the young prince are still in the hands of the court, you can work for me and you'll have a chance to see them again in the future. Only I can make them come here to see you."

The King of Chu opened his eyes wide, like a cat being choked by the scruff of its neck.

a long time.

"What do you want me to do..."

"I won't tell you what we're going to do right now, but I need to tell you something: the people in this world aren't very friendly to 'illegal immigrants,' so you absolutely mustn't get discovered..."

"Smugglers?" The King of Chu frowned. He knew this term; it was often used on the frontier.

The red spider lilies sway in the wind.

The words faded away, and when I looked back, there was no one on the riverbank.

Yi Chen choked on some water, swam around, and looked around in confusion. When he saw the King of Chu, it was like seeing his pillar of support: "Your Highness, what are we doing here..."

"Yi Qing, there's no time for mourning. We need to get to work now."

"Do something? What is it?"

"My old profession—rebellion and robbery."

"rebel?"

Yi Chen was taken aback.

The King of Chu was also taken aback and paused for a moment.

"recovery?"

……

Shuyu Pavilion.

The Blood Ape suddenly leaped out of the cave, intending to show himself to his disciples before heading to the Dragon King's Cave to find out what was going on.

Hearing the sound of flowing water in the peach garden, Lao Mengyao opened her eyes wide, jumped up, and exclaimed, "Master! That's wonderful! Master, you've finally come out of seclusion! I thought I wouldn't make it in time!"

"Can't make it? What are you rushing for?"

“A few days ago, people from the Heavenly Fire Sect came to invite Master. They said that since this is Master’s first year at the Heavenly Fire Sect, he can receive an extra year’s salary as a settling-in allowance. This offer will not be accepted after the deadline.” Lao Mengyao counted on her fingers, “A second-class elder receives three first-grade blood treasures a month, which is thirty-six a year! We’re rich!”
