Chapter 109 News from Heaven

The deep sea was already pitch black, and when the Dragon King of the East Sea came to the door, he blocked out the remaining candlelight, and the stench of corpses poured into the gaps between the doors and windows.

Yang He could hear the whispers of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

"After three hundred years of separation, I didn't expect that my son Ao Bing would be the most filial one. You are the only one willing to come back specially for Old Dragon's birthday party."

"Your brothers and sisters, one by one..."

The Dragon King of the East Sea stopped in front of the door, as if he was trying desperately to remember something.

Yang He swallowed his saliva. The figure of the Dragon King of the East China Sea was not as exaggerated as in the tomb, but it was already more than three meters tall. His posture was a little clumsy, and he was breathing like an asthma patient.

The Dragon King of the East Sea turned his head and looked at the tomb, his expression becoming incredible.

"All of them died? All of my children died?!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea asked and answered himself neurotically, then kept beating his chest and stamping his feet, sometimes sobbing, sometimes shouting at the top of his lungs.

Yang He suppressed his fear and forced his eyes open.

The East China Sea Dragon King that came into view also had nothing to do with a real dragon. He had a bloated body, and his exposed skin was covered with scales of various colors.

The most creepy thing is the belly of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

Under the tattered robe, there were distorted dragon faces on the surface of the skin.

If Yang He guessed correctly, it was the dragon son and daughter that the East China Sea Dragon King himself had eaten, and their bodies were entirely made up of more than a dozen dragon corpses.

And it also exudes a familiar scent.

Corpse transformation into immortal body?

That’s right, the badly damaged acquired immortal body.

Yang He's scalp felt numb.

His corpse-transmigrated immortal body was nurtured by absorbing Nezha's corpse. The tremendous resentment contained in the corpse may be the foundation of his corpse immortality.

boom.

The door of the wing was pushed open.

The Dragon King of the East Sea stretched out his long and narrow neck and moved into the house. The stench of corpse hit him in the face. The long robe that should have been an official robe was no longer suitable for him.

"Ao Bing."

"Tell me, where are the children?"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea opened his mouth wide, with saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth. The different sizes of his teeth also confirmed Yang He's guess.

The teeth are definitely from dragon sons and daughters, and the degrees of wear and tear are different.

"Father." Yang He looked at the bloody mouth that was gradually opening.

"Could they have gone to... Heaven?"

Yang He was not talking nonsense, the Heavenly Palace was mentioned in the original work of Nezha Conquers the Dragon King, and the Dragon King of the East Sea wanted to report to the Jade Emperor because of Ao Bing's death.

"Heaven?"

"Heaven?!!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea burst into tears and cried bitterly, "It's the Heavenly Palace again!!!"

"The old dragon coveted the benefits of the Heavenly Palace. When he returned to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, all the children were missing. I... shouldn't have gone to the Heavenly Palace."

The words of the Dragon King of the East China Sea contained a huge amount of information, and Yang He's mind exploded with a buzzing sound.

The apparent theme of The Investiture of the Gods is the alternation of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the open and secret struggles between the orthodox and unorthodox sects, and how Jiang Ziya eventually enfeoffed immortals and gods for the Heavenly Court through the Investiture of the Gods and managed the three realms for the Jade Emperor.

As long as you make the list, you can at least get a position in heaven.

In the world of allusions, the purpose of Conferred God is the same, but the reasons seem to be subtly different. Perhaps something went wrong in Heaven.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea should have visited heaven once three hundred years ago.

After that, the old Dragon King went crazy.

After eating up all the dragon sons and daughters, and becoming its current strange and inexplicable state, it completely fits Yang He's impression of the chaos and disorder in the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Yang He thought of the main world where everything was ghosts and gods, and he felt great doubt in his heart.

Was it the enthronement of the Gods that led to the corpses of ghosts and gods everywhere, or was it something else that happened to them after they took office in the Heavenly Court?
Yang He was terrified when he thought about it and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Well."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea squeezed half of his body into the side room, "Ao Bing, you are afraid of father, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Ao Bing, do you think your father will eat you?"

The mental state of the Dragon King of the East China Sea became increasingly out of control, the flesh and blood of the walls intensified, and the night pearls extended out like the eyes of a snail.

"Father, I am born with a weak body. Your aura is too strong and I am bound to be affected."

"No wonder, no wonder."

The Dragon King of the East Sea fell into deep thought, and Yang He did not dare to disturb him.

"Ao Bing, you have not yet transformed. I asked Prime Minister Turtle to make some soup for you to transform, so as to avoid being impolite at the birthday banquet."

"Thank you, father."

Yang He had no choice but to agree. After seeing that the Dragon King of the East China Sea had stabilized, he couldn't help but feel the urge to ask him something.

"Ao Bing, you should rest more. There is no rush to attend the banquet after your transformation."

The Dragon King of the East Sea turned around and walked out of the room, and the flesh and blood on the wall slowly disappeared.

"Father." Yang He called out to the Dragon King of the East China Sea for some unknown reason.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Yang He hesitated for a few moments, but did not want to miss the opportunity to uncover the tip of the iceberg of the world of allusions.

"Father, was there originally a dragon in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea..."

"Dinghai Shenzhen?"

Yang He's blood rushed to his head and his face turned red.

The Dragon King of the East Sea was not angry, but his scales stood up slightly, and then he slowly sank into the darkness, "Ao Bing, don't mention it again."

Yang He watched the Dragon King of the East China Sea leave, the shock in his eyes was beyond words.

The attitude of the Dragon King of the East Sea clearly shows that he knows about the Dinghai Shenzhen. After all, in Journey to the West, Monkey King got it from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Maybe the world of allusions is not just about the Investiture of the Gods?
While Yang He was in a daze, Prime Minister Turtle had already arrived with a large amount of unknown materials, accompanied by a dozen ordinary waiters.

The materials were packed inside river clams, and when they were opened, all they contained were miscellaneous blood and flesh remains.

Yang Hechu had just glimpsed the art of alchemy, and with his psychic vision he was able to check the properties of medicinal materials. He felt that the remains of flesh and blood were all evil things that would help to nourish the bloodline of the True Dragon.

The waiters showed reverence on their faces. They were all transformed from people of Chentang Pass. Compared with the deformed and terrifying appearance of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Yang He was more like a real dragon.

Prime Minister Turtle scolded: "Can you look the Third Prince in the face? If you do that again, I will have my shrimp soldiers and crab generals dig out your eyeballs!"

The waiter fell to his knees in fear, and Prime Minister Turtle impatiently signaled them to leave.

"Third Prince, I see that your alchemy furnace is quite extraordinary. If it is convenient, why not use it as a container for boiling the transformation medicine?"

"alright."

Yang He smiled awkwardly. If the Dragon King of the East China Sea was going to cook his dragon son, he would have brought his own iron pot.

The tripod was summoned again.

Prime Minister Turtle placed the Yin objects into the cauldron one by one, "Third Prince, transforming is not an easy task, you must be careful and keep your mind steady."

"Alas, it's a pity that the birthday banquet will be held soon, otherwise the medicine can be absorbed slowly."

"Third Prince, I have served countless dragon sons and daughters in their transformations. Your constitution is indeed the weakest. You must be more careful."

Prime Minister Turtle kept talking, and Yang He hurriedly closed the doors and windows.

"Third Prince, you..."

"Master, please stop pretending. A ghoul wouldn't be as thorough as you are."

Yang He's spiritual vision allowed him to see the clues at a glance. The auras of the two turtle prime ministers were completely different, but they were both very lifelike.

Prime Minister Turtle smiled helplessly, but his tone was completely different.

"Yang He, I don't know whether your luck is good or bad."

Jiang Ziya waved his hand, and thick smoke billowed out of the tripod. The Yin object dissolved, and the complex medicinal properties became one in the blink of an eye.

"Not only did the corpse Taoist help you transform into a dragon and prolong your life, but Nezha also tempered your Yin weapon, and the three-legged tripod actually gave birth to some karma fire."

Yang He was trying to figure out how Jiang Ziya was refining the elixir, and he said, "My disciple, those who are righteous will have many friends, while those who are unrighteous will have few friends."

"This is indeed the truth."

Jiang Ziya nodded in satisfaction, "My disciple, you have turned danger into safety this time, but there is still one last disaster that you have not yet overcome."

Yang He blinked his eyes, "Master, you can't let me deal with the Dragon King of the East China Sea."

"How could that happen?"

Jiang Ziya patted Yang He's head, and the solemnity on his face faded a little. "More than 100,000 people in Chentangguan almost became evil spirits because of the selfish desires of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I have been looking for the flaws in the magic circle in the Dragon Palace, and I have some clues."

"Yang He, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of your safety from now on."

"Master, why don't you send me away from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea first? Brother Nezha and you can work together to easily deal with the little dragon disaster."

Jiang Ziya muttered, "So Nezha is also in the Dragon Palace."

"My disciple, you must not leave rashly. The old dragon has been mad for several days. He has only calmed down a lot after you were recognized as the third prince Ao Bing."

Yang He didn't force it anymore.

Jiang Ziya definitely put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people first. Although he would not sacrifice his own disciples, he was always ready to sacrifice his own interests.

This is the biggest difference between Jiang Ziya and Taiyi Zhenren.

boom.

The tripod shook, and then a pill fell into Jiang Ziya's palm.

"My disciple, take this. The herbs from the Dragon King of the East China Sea can indeed be used to refine the Transformation Pill. But you have to be careful. We don't know if the old dragon is crazy or not."

Yang He took the pill.

【Transformation Pill】

[After taking it, you will transform into a human body, suppressing the characteristics of ghost transformation, and it is pure dragon blood. Long-term consumption will gradually degenerate the dragon body. 】

"Master, is the Heaven Palace that the Dragon King of the East Sea talked about true or false?"

"I am just a mortal, how can I manage the heavens?"

Jiang Ziya didn't dare to stay for long. After confirming that everything was correct, he pushed the door and left.

Yang He recalled that Jiang Ziya was not outstanding in Yuxu Palace. In the original work, he went down the mountain with several treasures, but he encountered difficulties in business everywhere and even married a mortal woman who was kicked away.

"Hehe, it seems like... Jiang Ziya's ex-wife was given a bad name?"

Yang He swallowed the transformation pill in one gulp.

Then the scales drilled into the flesh one by one, and the skeleton underwent drastic changes. The pain was insignificant, but the transformation process was terrifying.

The so-called transformation is not complete, and it still maintains the image of half human and half dragon.

Even the dragon's tail remains behind.

Yang Heyi touched the angular facial features, half of the dragon horn was exposed on the top of the head, and the eyes had vertical pupils. He felt more and more frightened. He could not tell that it was the original storyteller.

After seeing this, will Nezha strangle himself with the Hun Tian Ling?

Yang He was exhausted both physically and mentally, his consciousness was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. He could vaguely sense the fluctuation of yin energy in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. What Jiang Ziya said was true.

Whether the water-burying ghost can be completed depends on the upcoming birthday banquet.

dong dong dong.

"Third Prince."

"The Dragon King asked when you will go to Zishan Palace to take your seat. The birthday banquet has already begun."

Yang He was startled and found a robe in the house and put it on.

The waiter stood at the door. "The Dragon King mentioned that the other three sea dragon kings will come to the birthday banquet. Third Prince, you...you can enjoy a feast."

"What do you mean?"

"I am just repeating what I said, please don't blame me, Third Prince."
