Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

The Azure Dragon swam on the surface of the sea, its face gloomy, cursing incessantly.

This azure dragon is none other than Ao Bing, the third prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, the Star Lord Huagai!

Just a few hours ago, the Heavenly Court sent a team of heavenly soldiers to break into the East Sea Dragon Palace and demand that the dragons cooperate with the investigation!
This group of heavenly soldiers was arrogant and showed no respect even to the Dragon King of the East Sea, issuing orders in a condescending manner!
They completely disregarded the Dragon King of the East Sea!

It's as if the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is their backyard!
"A few celestial soldiers at the Heavenly Immortal realm dare to be arrogant in front of me? I really want to slap them to death..."

Ao Bing's face turned ashen, but he knew it was just talk.

The dragon race is now weak, and although they are called the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, they have no real power.

If it weren't for the fact that they still had some sea creature soldiers under their command, they might have been wiped out by the Heavenly Court one day.

Even so, the Heavenly Court still sends people to make things difficult for the Dragon Clan from time to time.

Ao Bing's face was ashen. Just thinking about the arrogant appearance of those heavenly soldiers and generals made him furious!

"What kind of apes did you send me out to look for?"

"Do you think monkeys are sea creatures?"

"Are you out of your mind? Isn't this just deliberately picking a fight?!"

Ao Bing muttered to himself, extremely angry, and wandered aimlessly on the sea, but found nothing.

Finally, he swam to a sandy beach, shrunk himself to the size of a caterpillar, coiled up in the grass, and planned to take a nap before returning to report when he woke up.

As a result, after he had been meditating for five or six hours, a figure appeared on the sea not far away.

Ao Bing glanced over instinctively.

"Hmm? Is that one...?"

Before Ao Bing could finish speaking, his innate spiritual sense, inherited from his dragon bloodline, made him shudder and he quickly looked away!
brush! !

next moment!
A sudden gust of wind arose, and the sea churned.

The figure, which was originally far away, instantly appeared above Ao Bing's location!

The demonic energy was overwhelming, and the pressure was as heavy as a mountain!
It crushed down in all directions without any restraint!

Feeling this oppressive aura, Ao Bing turned pale with fright and huddled in the grass, not daring to breathe!
I rely on!

What is this?

That's such a fast reaction!
I only glanced at it, and it got discovered?
"Senior brother, what's wrong? Did something happen to you?"

Such a question could be heard from the distant sea.

Then, before Ao Bing could even react, over a hundred powerful auras surged forth from the distant sea!
How can there be so many powerful demons!
Sensing these powerful auras, Ao Bing was so frightened that he froze on the spot, not daring to move!

Because each of these auras carried a strong killing intent, they had clearly just experienced a great battle!

Where did they come from?

As Ao Bing pondered this, he lay prone on the spot, even his breathing becoming cautious.

"Senior brother, have you found Master's whereabouts?" the Black Mountain Demon asked as he stepped forward.

"No, but I sensed a gaze just now, though it's gone now." The Six-Eared Macaque shook his head slightly.

"Really? There doesn't seem to be anything around here." The Black Mountain Demon looked around.

"My imagination? That shouldn't be the case." The Six-Eared Macaque frowned in thought.

Upon hearing this, Ao Bing's heart began to pound wildly!

"Haha, you're probably too excited because you're about to see Master, Senior Brother?" Fahai walked forward with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eared Macaque nodded slightly: "Perhaps."

The numerous auras turned and departed one by one.

Ao Bing, however, concealed his aura to the extreme, transforming into the form of a green worm and lying motionless in place.

brush! !

A strong wind blew by.

A minute later, the Six-Eared Macaque reappeared in the sky, looked down, and nodded slightly: "Perhaps it really was just my imagination."

The Six-Eared Macaque turned and left, but Ao Bing remained motionless.

really!

The next instant, a fierce wind blew up again, and the Six-Eared Macaque reappeared!

Not only the third time, but in the following hours, the Six-Eared Macaque appeared more than ten times in a row!
Each time, Ao Bing was so frightened that he stood frozen in place, too scared to move!

Several hours later, the Six-Eared Macaque finally frowned and disappeared.

Ao Bing waited for several more hours.

Just as he was about to move...

"Could it really be my imagination? Is there really no one here?" The Six-Eared Macaque suspiciously poked its head out from under the water.

I rely on!

This guy!
Isn't that being a bit too cautious?!
Ao Bing was completely stiff, lying on the spot, not daring to move an inch!

In the end, Ao Bing simply stopped running and just stayed where he was, not moving at all.

No matter what you do to me, I won't budge.

This turtle-shell tactic was something even the Six-Eared Macaque couldn't counter.

This is near the dojo; he can't just go on a killing spree here and destroy the place with a single punch.

After the Six-Eared Macaque disappeared for the nth time, Ao Bing glanced over nervously, then quickly looked away.

"A monkey? Was that a monkey just now?"

"I only glanced at it, I didn't see it clearly."

"How could there be so many powerful demons here? Could it be..."

Thinking of this, Ao Bing's heart started beating even faster!
Could these people be the ones who stormed Mount Ling?

Are they what are called disciples of the dojo?

Ao Bing wanted to turn his head to take a look, but there was no doubt that if he turned his gaze even slightly, he would be discovered by the Six-Eared Macaque.

Based on the Six-Eared Macaque's tyrannical demonic energy, Ao Bing was almost certain that he would slap him to death...

"Hey guys, what are you looking for here?"

"Let's go quickly..."

"Please, there's nothing here."

"If you want to fight the Heavenly Court, go to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea..."

Ao Bing muttered to himself.

It seemed that his chanting had an effect, and the fierce aura gradually faded away.

They waited until they had been gone for a long time and were certain that the demon monkey would not reappear.

Ao Bing then began to gasp for breath.

these people.

Just who is he?!
What are you doing in the East China Sea?
Ao Bing instinctively wanted to return to the East Sea Dragon Palace to report.

But after a brief silence, Ao Bing suddenly mustered his courage and cautiously looked in the direction where they had disappeared.

He squinted.

"Hold the courageous to death, starve the cowardly to death."

"or."

"Should we follow them and see?"

On the vast and boundless sea, the waves surge and roll.

Ao Bing transformed into the size of a green caterpillar, bobbing up and down on the crest of the wave, cautiously following behind a group of disciples from the Daoist temple, moving stealthily like a ghost.

"What exactly are these powerful demons searching for?"

At this moment, Ao Bing was basically certain that the group of guys in front of him were the same demons who had caused havoc in Xiniu Hezhou!
As they walked, their bodies were constantly radiated with brilliant Buddhist light.

Those were all Buddhist treasures, possessing immense power, which Ao Bing coveted. "Weren't they going to attack Mount Ling? How did they end up in this remote place in the East Sea?"

Ao Bing followed at a safe distance.

He didn't even dare to use supernatural powers like "Mirror Flower Water Moon," but instead relied on his bloodline talent to control the nearby fish and birds, occasionally stealing a glance at them.

He was extremely cautious, fearing he might be discovered.

Even so, he was almost discovered by the disciples of the dojo on several occasions.

Actually, this was mainly because the disciples were excited about being close to the temple and relaxed their guard at the thought of seeing their master.

Otherwise, let alone caterpillars, even if they turned into planktonic organisms, they would definitely be detected with just a glance.

The disciples of the dojo dispersed across the sea, each searching for traces of the dojo.

Only then did Ao Bing dare to glance at the disciples of the Daoist temple a few more times.

"Holy crap, what's going on? There are sea creatures inside? And they're... early-stage Golden Immortals? That's the same level as me!"

"Humans? Am I seeing things? That bald monk is actually at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, but weren't they supposed to be attacking Mount Ling? How come there's a monk here?"

"That person's name is Li Chengqian? That name sounds familiar. He looks only a few decades old, yet he's already at the Celestial Immortal realm..."

Ao Bing cautiously peered at the disciples of the Daoist temple in the distance, his heart filled with utter shock, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!
Who are these people?
What kind of force could produce such a freak?

Who is their master?
You must know how difficult the path of cultivation is!

He is the third prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace!
Living from the time of the Investiture of the Gods to the present day, he's a thousand years old!
He only barely crossed the Celestial Immortal realm a hundred years ago!

It took him tens of thousands of years to reach the three realms of Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Celestial Immortal!
This is already an extremely rare genius in the Three Realms!
How many hardships and tribulations did he experience on his path of cultivation? Ao Bing had long since lost count; he had already walked the Conferred God Platform twice!

If cultivation could grant immortality and control over the world at will, wouldn't the path of cultivation be far too easy?

And now you're telling me that the person opposite me has reached the Golden Immortal realm in less than a hundred years of cultivation?

Especially the stunning woman in the red robe at the very front.

She's not very old, but her strength seems to be about the same as my father's.

Looking at the group of people frantically searching at sea, Ao Bing felt increasingly strange and curious.

……

On the other hand, the disciples of the dojo had somewhat strange expressions.

"Why can't we find Master's temple?"

"I clearly remember it being around here!"

"We can't sense anything! Have we come to the wrong place?"

The scorpion demon looked around, appearing somewhat anxious and bewildered.

They have been searching here for several days, but there is still no trace of a temple!
The once-familiar dojo seemed to have vanished in an instant, and no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find a single clue!
"Master! Master, are you there?!"

In the group, Xiao Linxi called out anxiously.

She sat on the Golden-Winged Roc King's shoulder, holding his head, looking as cute as a delicate porcelain doll, her big eyes filled with anxiety.

……

Meanwhile, in the dojo, Lin Nan, who had finally managed to stop the noise in his mind, was fast asleep.

He was awakened by noises outside after an unknown amount of time.

Rubbing his eyes and yawning, Lin Nan looked up and saw a group of disciples outside who looked like headless flies.

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment.

This is……

Have the disciples returned?

"Master, where are you? It's been more than ten years since we last met. Your disciple wants to come back and visit you!"

"Master! Please open the gates of the temple!"

"Master, where are you?"

Looking at his many anxious disciples, Lin Nan was also somewhat excited.

My dear students, it's been so many years, I've missed you all so much!

"Since they haven't seen each other for so many years, let them go back to the dojo and catch up."

With this thought in mind, Lin Nan subconsciously wanted to open the dojo.

However, they found that the temple showed no signs of opening and remained completely silent.

The next moment, the system's voice rang out.

"Owner."

"The dojo is currently undergoing upgrades and cannot be opened at the moment."

"Upgrade progress is 60% complete..."

Lin Nan was taken aback, only then remembering that the dojo was being upgraded due to the rewards from a few days ago and could not be opened.

Lin Nan was speechless.

But then I thought, it doesn't matter. The three realms outside are in such chaos, so it's not a bad thing to open the door one less time.

Moreover, the upgrade is almost complete, so we can let the disciples come in to cultivate again after a while.

After a moment's thought, Lin Nan cleared her throat and slowly began to speak.

"I am currently refining the Heavenly Dao Fields and adding many cultivation sites, so it cannot be opened for the time being."

“You have already returned to the Three Realms.”

"One should experience and walk through the mortal world to seek the secrets of becoming a saint."

Why have you come here today?

A majestic and solemn voice emanated from the temple, causing waves to rise over a vast expanse of sea, and one after another, seven-colored golden lotuses bloomed.

It felt like a gentle spring breeze.

The disciples, who were already on the verge of despair because they couldn't find the entrance to the dojo, and whose hearts were gradually filled with loss and even confusion, all suddenly raised their heads!
"This is... Master's voice!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, their eyes instantly welled up with tears, as if time had reversed, taking them back to those carefree days, and memories of the past surged back into their hearts like a tidal wave.

"Master has not abandoned us!"

Immediately afterwards, all the disciples of the temple stepped forward in unison, knelt down with a thud, and bowed deeply in worship.

"Disciple of the Heavenly Daoist Temple!"

"Meet the Master!"

The sound was like rolling sound waves, and the vast waves spread in all directions, like thunder trembling. Suddenly, endless winds and clouds gathered from the highest heavens!

The Queen of Xiliang's eyes reddened slightly as she raised her head first.

"Reporting to Master."

"The disciples recently experienced a great battle in the West. The battle was extremely dangerous, but we also captured many treasures."

"The disciples are not slacking off in their cultivation; it's just that when they think of the kindness of their master who nurtured and taught them day and night, their hearts are filled with gratitude."

"I have no way to repay you."

"Now that I have obtained these treasures, I can only use them to repay my master's kindness in raising me and to express my humble filial piety!"

Upon hearing the words of the Queen of Xiliang, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, and then a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

It seems these disciples haven't forgotten their master even while they're away!
This is someone bringing back good things to treat themselves!

When they find something good, they know to bring it back immediately...

Really thoughtful.

"I once calculated that the war in the West would be a tribulation in your growth and training. It is truly remarkable that you have been able to overcome it safely!"

Lin Nan made up a story off the cuff, but the disciples believed it to be true. They secretly thought to themselves, "Indeed, our master is indeed knowledgeable about all things in the heavens."

Lin Nan then asked with concern, "Was this battle extremely dangerous? Did any disciples perish?" (End of Chapter)
