Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1236 Promotion, Promotion, Promotion! (Two Chapters Combined)

In late August, the scorching heat of the day turned into a humid and oppressive heat.

The court and the public were in an uproar. The Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet did not return home for three days, passing by their homes three times without entering, inquiring about the news from the Imperial Observatory. The southern border, which had been pacified for a year and a half, had once again mobilized the great shamans within its borders, seemingly threatening to be stationed at the border!

Beiting kept a close watch, ready at any moment.

The fiefdom prospers, and the Spring Pavilion shines eternally.

Inside the fish tank, the rainbow-colored fish were nowhere to be seen. The martial arts disciples bowed and apologized to the tourists who had gathered at the top: "The abalone fish are not on display today, nor will they be on display in the future. We are truly sorry to disappoint you all who came here specifically for the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai. As an apology, you can go to the left-hand corridor to pick up a large plush toy called 'Benboerba'..."

"Young man, why? Why is the treasure fish no longer on display?"

"There has been unusual activity on the southern border. Prince Huai needs to summon Feng Xian in case of emergency."

"I'm counting on my son to touch it, so he'll have a bright future in martial arts! Damn it, that son of a bitch from the south."

"How can the damn southern border be so bad!"

"We fought them once last year, haven't they learned their lesson this year? Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The wooden box landed heavily on the ground.

Otter and Golden Monkey carry the items, Hedgehog counts and tallies, Fat Catfish flicks its long whiskers to direct left and right, Fist, Round Head, Dragon Sturgeon, and Golden Tiger help out, and "Can't Move" yawns.

"Prince Huai, the imperial edict has arrived! The imperial edict has arrived! It's a personally written edict from His Majesty!" At the entrance of the Yang residence, Eunuch Li hurried up the steps, bowed, and presented the stamped memorial. "Within three days, depart immediately for Lingnan to prepare for the bandits in the southern border!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Li!"

"It was nothing, just a small favor. Prince Huai is a pillar of the nation, guarding the border. It is the people of the world who should thank you."

"The affairs of the state are like a farmer tending his field. If one person tills the land with a plow, he can only manage to cultivate ten acres. But if many people help him, the harvest will be plentiful. Everyone who has contributed will have done so!"

"Husband, everything is packed." Long Eying stepped out of the room.

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam."

"Elder/Junior Brother, everything here is arranged, and we can set off at any time."

Two rows of people were lined up on both sides.

From left to right: Long Binglin and Long Yanrui are dressed in hunting attire, followed by a dozen or so valiant and imposing dragon warriors.
From right to left, senior disciples Xu Zishuai, Hu Qi, and Xiang Changsong led a dozen or so disciples from the Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall, including the three outstanding disciples of the hall: Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu. It was their first time going on an expedition, and they were extremely excited.

Dragon people, fellow disciples, and junior students together form a team.

"very good!"

After carefully putting the scroll away and placing it in Eying's arms, Liang Qu turned around and went outside the gate. On the white marble field, he gazed at the azure sky.

"Who is my husband waiting for?"

"Since being promoted to Martial Saint, I have received many rewards from His Majesty, including fiefdoms, long-lasting qi, porcelain, and fine horses. However, there is still one matter that has been pending for a year. Yesterday, Binglin brought back long-lasting qi from the capital and went to inquire about it. Fortunately, the matter was settled today."

Long E'ying's mind stirred: "Red Mountain?"

"Yes, Chishan!" Liang Qu's eyes sharpened. "It's here!"

"boom!"

A sudden rumble of thunder.

Blood red swirled, the sky dimmed.

The villagers of Yixing Township all looked up.

Looking into the distance, before dusk, just as the sky should be bright, a fiery cloud appeared on the horizon, surging and boiling, vast and mighty, rushing in, its light reflecting off people's faces.

In the center of the blazing red light, a point of light and shadow intertwined, and a horse strides forward, its four hooves overlapping to form a ball of overflowing fire. Horns grow on its head, and its red scales reflect light, like a burning fire meteor.

Things are different now. Seeing his former colleagues again, the fat catfish, now a celestial demon, was filled with pride. He crossed his whiskers, tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, and acted as if he didn't care, didn't care at all, and pretended to be indifferent. His fists trembled for a moment, but he calmed down. It was just a mount.

"Can't move" yawns.

"laugh!"

With a loud snort, Chishan swooped down, its hooves pounding the fiery clouds, like a meteor falling to earth, tearing through the sky. Beneath the cone-shaped shockwave, the clouds split in two.

The martial arts disciples stared in disbelief, a single, winding red light flickering in their dark pupils, shining brightly and never dimming, bursting forth with fervor.

The finest of the Da Shun BMWs, the Dragon Blood Horse.

The ultimate Dragonblood Horse, a super-grade Dragonblood Horse, a Crimson Qilin!
A family with a dragon-blooded horse is a family of high-ranking officials and nobles.

If you have a red Qilin in your family, you'll be granted a title of nobility and then a king!
"Wow!"

The horse landed on its hind legs.

A strong wind whipped up dust, which rose three zhang high and swirled around the long street.

Liang Qu kindly helped cover E Ying's long skirt, but his good intentions were misunderstood. His wife rolled her eyes and slapped the hairy hand off her buttocks.

Its two horns are rugged and winding, its scales are blood red and shiny. Apart from the mane behind its neck, there is no hair left. If it weren't for the hooves instead of claws on its feet, it would be a mythical beast, a Qilin!
The most prestigious, dazzling, and status-defining demon-level mount in the world.

none of them!

Aside from the fiefdom, among the most precious rewards for being crowned a king, Chishan is definitely one of the top, even the number one, comparable to the five Xuanhuang tokens!
"Long time no see, old buddy." Liang Qu patted Chi Shan's forehead.

Chishan shook its head, its mane flying, and let out a high-pitched neigh.

When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. After defeating the Ghost Mother Cult's blood sacrifice conspiracy, four dragon-blooded horses came to Pingyang and returned to the stable. Only one horse achieved transcendence!
The little mirage dragon gritted its teeth, spewed mist to create a white jade saw, aimed it at the head and horns of the red mountain, and sharpened its blade.

"I was wondering who my brother-in-law was waiting for. We agreed on a year, and it's been over a year already." Long Yanrui's eyes lit up as he excitedly stroked the smooth scales on Chishan's back. Then he squatted down, a hint of regret flashing across his face. "Why aren't they claws? Claws are so much better, they look exactly like those of the Qilin!"

"Hmph!" Chishan scoffed.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of look is that?"

"Hahaha!" Liang Qu laughed loudly, "It's mocking your eyes, thinking you don't know what's good for you."

"Did I say something wrong?" Long Yanrui asked, puzzled.

There are only three ways in which living beings walk.

"Three kinds?" Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong leaned closer.

Long Eying was also curious: "I've never heard of different ways of walking. What are the three types?"

“Ploverism, toeism, hoofism!” Liang Qu held up three fingers. “Ploverism is walking on the palms and soles of the feet, like humans, monkeys, and bears.”

Toe walking is walking on the soles of the feet, such as cats, dogs, wolves, lions, and tigers. It is equivalent to humans lifting their feet and walking on the soles of their toes.

Hoof walking refers to walking on the tips of the toes and toes, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and deer, who lift their toes and walk using the tips of their nails.

The closer the point of contact is to the end, the better it is at running, whether turning or speed, it is superior, like a spring. The disadvantage is instability, requiring more contact points to maintain balance. If the hooves were to become claws, it would actually reduce the speed of the Red Mountain, losing the dragon-blood horse's extraordinary speed.

"I see." Long Yanrui slapped his palm with his fist, suddenly realizing, "Brother-in-law knows so much."

The hedgehog's eyes lit up, and it took out paper and pen to write and draw.

"Where did you learn all this, Ah Shui?" Xu Zishuai asked, puzzled.

"Read more books."

"Is it in the book?"

"Everything is in the book, everything is ready, let's go without delay!" Liang Qu called out, "Third Prince!"

"Here we go."

Dropping the saw, the little mirage dragon flew out of the courtyard, opened its mouth wide, and spewed out white mist.

No one needed to move; they were enveloped by a white mist carriage that had materialized from nothingness. There were benches under their buttocks and long tables in front of them. Two white jade chains emerged from the entire train, which resembled a palace, connecting to the buckle on Chishan's chest.

With a single stomp of its four hooves, it leaped forward into the air.

The magnificent white jade palace ascends into the sky.

The "River Stone" has moved south.

Both the southern border and the northern border were taking this matter very seriously.

Even before the death of the King of Huai, he was like a sharp chisel, chiseling into every crevice and creating a gap wherever he went.

This disrupted the original balance in Beiting and thwarted the favorable plans in Nanjiang. Even Zhang Longxiang didn't have the ability to find such "loopholes."

I thought that after the Dragon King, he would lose this "special ability". Unexpectedly, the hundred strands of long qi disappeared inexplicably, telling the Nine Villages of Southern Xinjiang that Liang Qu is still that unpredictable person!
The martial arts disciples looked at the spacious carriage, paced back and forth, and reached out to touch it, incredulous.

It's as bustling as you can almost imagine.

If you want to sleep, just call out to the Third Prince, and the carriage will instantly transform into a dormitory with a single bed. If you want to cultivate, it will become a series of independent small cultivation rooms, where no one will disturb you.

The workshop at the front of the car.

Long Eying and Long Binglin acted as protectors, while Long Yanrui patrolled the front and back of the train, eventually becoming the train conductor.

Liang Qu sat cross-legged in meditation, abstaining from sex for three days, and his physical and mental state was at its peak.

Ze Ding.

A shallow layer of blue tide, rippling on the deep waves.

One hundred and thirty strands of heaven and earth's long energy intertwined in the sky like feathers.

however,
not enough,

Far from enough!

To be favored and elevated, one needs six spirit fish, not six long breaths.

Fortunately, there was still one potent tonic that hadn't been used.

Pandanus fish!
Inside the marshland, the old toad stretched out its belly and slept soundly.

The "rainbow light" wandered through the round belly.

The fat catfish shook its head and tail, flicked its long whiskers, opened its big mouth, and proclaimed to the aquatic beasts that its big mouth was a great asset; without its big mouth, there would be no Phoenix.

"Awesome! Fatty is amazing! His big mouth and teeth are unbeatable!"

The little mirage dragon slammed its fist against its pincers, feigning admiration, and yawned, pretending not to move. "Fatty!"

The fat catfish understood immediately when its long whiskers were folded at a ninety-degree angle. It leaped out of the water and swooped down with its mouth open.

"Wow."

Encapsulated in bubbles.

As Ah Fei entered the swamp, as if sensing danger, the Phoenix Fish flicked its body, making itself transparent. However, this transparency still left some traces, as there was nowhere to hide in the swamp.

Liangqu leaped out of its massive mouth, exhaled all the air, and then took a deep breath, engulfing the surrounding swirling water.

Amidst the turbulent currents and fleeting vacuum, a piece of the balsam fish, carried by the whirlpool, flows into its belly.

Liang Qu instantly activated his cultivation technique to refine the treasure fish.

A surge of heat erupted from his abdomen, flowing through his limbs and bones, causing the blue tide within the cauldron to surge!
【Water Essence +124129】

[Water Essence: 128,000]

Before Liang Qu could even question how little essence there was.

The rainbow light pierced through his belly and flowed outwards.

Liang Qu: "?"

The rainbow light flickered and darted away; upon closer inspection, the outline of the balsam fish appeared smaller.

The treasure fish is mysterious and wondrous; it can transform without dying or being damaged.

Liang Qu vaguely understood, opened his mouth wide again, and the whirlpool rose again.

Within the marshland, the water beasts sat in rows, munching on the hailstones, watching the celestial god devour and repeatedly refine the Phoenix Fairy Treasure Fish.

The little mirage dragon wiggled its rear end to cheer Liang Qu on.

The fat catfish's whiskers supported his chin.

At this moment, stars burst forth and the universe exploded in its brain. It saw its own huge mouth, saw the toad squatting on the rock to catch dragonflies, saw the porcupine tribe's ability to zoom in and out, to stretch and shrink, and saw the gods repeatedly swallowing and spitting out, refining the treasure fish... Endless thoughts collided and annihilated, and the river flowed eastward instead of westward.

"Croak!" The old toad rolled over and scratched its butt.

The exploding universe rolled back and collapsed, annihilating into darkness.

Even the fat catfish scratched its butt.

I'm hungry, it's time to eat.

【Water Essence +139743】

【Water Essence +110887】

[Hydrating Essence + ...]

The blue tide is like the sea, colliding and swirling.

[Water Essence: 2,017,600]
"I really miss it..."

A treasure fish, containing the essence of two million lakes, with boundless energy accumulating in its abdomen, its stomach burning hot like a fireball. Since ascending to the Heavenly Dragon realm, how long has it been since it has felt such a bloated sensation?

The balsam fish went from being the size of a "piece of cloth" to "a foot of scraps of cloth".

The rare and exquisite treasure fish that can be eaten in segments is extremely rare in the world. Let's learn something new. It's not easy for a treasure fish to be bred, so Liangqu left behind a "small seed" because it wasn't completely eaten.

Eighty-four times the strength of the Root Sea tide, he endured the ebb and flow, barely managing to refine the essence of the Phoenix Fairy Treasure Fish's flesh and blood.

Six wisps of lower-grade qi slowly rose, lingered at the mouth of the cauldron, and disintegrated into pieces of starlight.

[Water Essence: 1,957,600]

[The Enduring Energy of Heaven and Earth: 124]

Six magical fish roam the sea of ​​water, towering like mountains.

Wow!
The patterns on the Ze Ding are interwoven, and the light bursts forth like a flood.

Tick ​​tock!

A water droplet landed squarely between his brows, its icy chill penetrating to the bone. The spear-wielding general, Qi Gaotian, transformed into a pale blue phantom, striding forward with great speed, the stars of the heavens shining upon him.

Blue Tide split in two.

The gaps between the towering tides grew wider and wider, lingering for a long time, until the center became a smooth road.

Liang Qu watched as the towering divine general approached step by step, shrinking with each step.

Until.

The unity of man and god!

The floodwaters surged, and the giant waves towered high.

Each time the Trump administration's favor is elevated, a shift in perspective is always involved.

Before the great battle against the dragon, Liang Qu was beheaded.

After the great battle with the dragon...

His eyes were wide open, staring directly at the dragon's golden pupils!
He gripped the spear tightly.

today,

cut!
蛟！
……

The lines shattered, the colors blurred, the nine-headed dragon roared and struggled, then vanished into dust and exploded into a bloody mist that scattered across the swamp.

[...Martial arts talent increased sevenfold, damage against water-type monsters increased by 70%.]

[The Divine Lord's Seal undergoes slight transformation]

[Golden Eyes Undergo Slight Transformation]

[Enhanced Phonetic Recognition]

[Consumes seven spirit fish to advance to the seventh level of Martial Arts Proficiency.]

[Water Essence: 1,887,600]

……

[...Martial arts talent increased eightfold, damage against water-type monsters increased by 80%.]

[Eight spirit fish can be consumed to advance to the eighth level of Martial Arts Divine Realm.]

[Water Essence: 1,807,600]

[The Enduring Energy of Heaven and Earth: 109]

With keen hearing and sharp eyesight, and a vast ocean of knowledge.

Willpower runs rampant.

With the six senses capturing everything in motion, the "Consciousness Method" grows like a thriving tree, and countless inspirations burst forth in the mind.

At this moment, Liang Qu's consciousness erupted like stars, the universe exploded, and he saw his own meridians, his own bones, a toad perched on a rock catching a dragonfly, a white ape pulling on chains and roaring at the heavens and earth, and a dragon splitting in two...

Countless ideas collide and vanish, the river flows east, not west.

The suppression of the treasure fish energy in his lower abdomen became increasingly easier, completely merging with the cultivation feedback brought by Ze Ling. It was as if a bridge had been built in the middle, merging and adding the treasure fish energy, making it extremely surging and increasingly chaotic, just waiting for a supernova explosion!

The eighty-four-fold increase in the size of the Root Sea remained unchanged. The sea of ​​clouds expanded and contracted, but with each "breath," it became increasingly turbulent and oppressive.

Within the Dragon Court Immortal Island, divine light rippled, and dragons coiled around the beams and pillars, awaiting the carving of a revered deity in the empty hall, standing tall between heaven and earth.

[...Martial arts talent increased ninefold, damage against water-type monsters increased by 90%.]

[Consumes nine spirit fish to advance to the ninth level of Martial Arts Divine Realm.]

[Water Essence: 1,717,600]

[The Enduring Vitality of Heaven and Earth: One Hundred]

The atmosphere in the quiet room grew increasingly terrifying, like a volcano before an eruption, with thick volcanic ash accumulating in the sky. The little mirage dragon could no longer conceal itself, and a trace of its aura leaked out. The dragon people and disciples in the palace all felt as if a stone was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe and almost suffocating.

Long Eying used her ice magic again, isolating the target a second time.

The crimson clouds raced forward, scattering the palaces in the sky amidst the flowing clouds, relentlessly advancing.

Suddenly, Long Binglin's expression changed. He pretended to listen, turned to Long Eying and said a few words before jumping off the carriage.

The "Stone in the River" is getting closer.

The great shamans of southern Xinjiang silently drew closer.

The Nanhai Commandery of Lingnan Province, where the King looked north rather than south.

Sudden.

The steward came to report.

"The Prince of Huai asked me to delay for a while?" Prince Chong was taken aback. "Why? Something happened to him, and he can't come."

“It is not that we cannot go, nor is it that my lord has encountered any trouble.” Long Binglin bowed deeply. “If we were to fight the enemy, there would be no problem. But my lord would like to ask King Chong to join hands with us to create a good opportunity.”

A thought struck the Prince of Chong, and to the surprise of his steward, he unconsciously took half a step forward.

"What constitutes a good opportunity? What opportunities are there?"

"May I ask, does Prince Chong wish to simply quell this matter, or take it to a higher level?"

"To reach an even higher level!" King Chong said without hesitation.

"The great shaman of the Southern Frontier has moved, but the situation is not as critical as it was in the past. For various reasons, he will definitely challenge our lord. If he wants to carry out the grand plan, our lord cannot easily show his face... If King Chong cooperates, delays, and creates a good opportunity, he can recreate the great victory of last year!"
