From a carp to a dragon god

An island in the middle of the lake, with three-tiered earthen platforms.

Tu Tai practiced thunder magic, but ever since Saoxia Xianyi upgraded Wu Lei City to Lei Yun Avenue, Yu Shuyang has not practiced thunder magic again.

Usually, it was Jin Buhuan and the other three who would collect thunder energy on the earth platform to refine their magic swords, and practice the thunder talismans passed down to them by Li Taiping.

Some time ago, Yu Shuyang sent all three students to Nanhuochi to help Cao Qing and others with sword-making.

Yu Shuyang never expected that the Emperor of Dongyi would come here. In fact, he had met the Emperor of Dongyi twice, both times on the island in the middle of the lake.

"Emperor, I can't control reincarnation right now. If you want me to help cast a spell, that's fine, but I can't guarantee anything else." Yu Shuyang explained truthfully.

So far, he has only used the Nine-Curve Yellow Sand Formation twice. The first time was when he helped Liu Huangshu reincarnate in Youdu. His true spirit was taken away by the earth energy dragon veins summoned by Tu Bo for reincarnation.

Another time was when the two demon masters, Tiger Stick and Black Biao, were killed in the formation. Their true spirits were taken into the belly of the Green Rock Sheep by Yu Shuyang, and they were regarded as being led into it by the power of reincarnation.

The Green Rock Sheep was a spiritual beast. Ever since the true spirit was put into its belly, it had been in gestation, but it had never given birth. Yu Shuyang stopped watching it and entrusted the matter to the bee demon Jinhu.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Dongyi smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you haven't comprehended the power of reincarnation deeply. If you can perform the Nine Bends of the Underworld, how can you not understand the reincarnation of the Styx?"

Yu Shuyang was stunned by what he said, and then he didn't know what to say. How could he not know about the reincarnation of the Styx? The problem was that he didn't practice Shintoism, so how could he control the Styx to help send the soul into his belly.

Even if there is a section of the Styx in the Xuanming Underworld, the range of its influence is only in Hushan Island and Changliu Mountain. After all, he moved the Xuanming Underworld to the foot of Hushan Island.

Seeing Yu Shuyang's silence, the Emperor of Dongyi shook his head and said with a smile, "Just cast the spell. I'll help you with sending the soul into your belly."

He then said, "Isn't the Ghost Mother God staying with you? I heard that he has changed the authority of the Shinto and is now the God of the Underworld. It would be nice to have him cooperate with you!"

Yu Shuyang just wanted to roll his eyes after hearing this. He had always kept the matter of the power of reincarnation a secret, and was deliberately on guard against the Black Fox Pengwei. How could he possibly ask him for cooperation?

Besides, he did not practice Shinto methods and did not want to spend too much energy on the authority of reincarnation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become alert. After all, the Emperor of Dongyi was good at weaving fate and planning.

Yu Shuyang took out the Wuzhiyao Grass Sword, released the True Sand of the Earth, and asked, "Where is the True Spirit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow was thrown over, and he manipulated the pile of earth to roll it into the formation.

The reincarnation of the true soul must also go through many twists and turns before it can be controlled by the authority of reincarnation.

The true spirits of the Black-nosed Ground Rat and Linjun are also suppressed in the formation diagram, so it is a good opportunity to reincarnate together to avoid the trouble of suppressing them all the time.

The world will cares extremely about the reincarnation of the true spirit. Even the witch god who occupies the heaven does not dare to destroy the true spirit. In order to suppress the rise of the earth, he comes up with the reincarnation of the galaxy.

The true spirit of the Red Eyebrows was thrown into the twists and turns, subjected to the cleansing of wind and sand, and had some of its origin exploited.

Yu Shuyang didn't care about anything else. He controlled the formation to throw out the three suppressed true spirits one after another. They flew out from the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi like three fireflies.

The Emperor of Dongyi couldn't help but frown when he saw the three true spirits, but he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and three mulberry leaves fell.

The green mulberry leaves covered the true spirit one by one like feathers, and then dissipated like green smoke.

Yu Shuyang could feel a bit of golden light falling from the spiritual platform above his head, which was the response from the reincarnation of his true soul.

"Xuan Yunzi, when will you establish your Dao and spread your teachings? You've even moved the Qingqiu Fox Heart Island here, and you've also won over so many foxes. What are your plans for the future?"

The Emperor of Dongyi's gaze was as sharp as lightning, his eyes as sharp as nails, staring straight at Yu Shuyang, with the corners of his mouth raised in a slight smile.

Yu Shuyang was taken aback by the sudden question. He hadn't expected the Emperor of Dongyi to care about this matter. He said, "We've just moved a few islands here, and the Demon Fairy City isn't finished yet. We'll have to wait a while."

The matter of establishing the Dao and spreading the Dharma was not a big deal for Yu Shuyang. After all, he had already accepted all his disciples, except for two from the Fox Clan who had not yet been selected.

"This matter cannot be taken lightly. The Great Master has been isolated by the Heavenly Dao. Only when you establish the Dao and offer sacrifices can he distract himself and descend for a moment.

This opportunity cannot be wasted. You should know some things. I won’t hide it from you. The one who just reincarnated was the Red Eyebrows.

He is the vanguard officer of this human catastrophe. Today he has been reincarnated as a half-demon in the north. He will definitely raise the flag of rebellion one day.

At that time, all the gods in the underworld will respond secretly, thus provoking a dispute over human sacrifices. By that time, the way of heaven will inevitably wake up.

The struggle between Heaven and Earth is something that Middle-earth must experience, and it is also the choice that the human and demon races must make today.

Our two families have always been on the same page, and this time is no exception. Perhaps you will need to perform a ritual to invite a great master to enter the realm to assist. Shuiyue will let you know when the time comes."

The Emperor of Dongyi looked at Yu Shuyang with a smile on his face, still very amiable, without any trace of the majesty of a first-class demon immortal.

Yu Shuyang stood aside and nodded in response, his heart finally at ease. Hearing that the Emperor of Dongyi had something to ask of him, he no longer worried about being secretly plotted against.

"Emperor, when will the human race's calamity begin?" Yu Shuyang asked.

He had been preparing humanitarian weapons and food, waiting to use the plan of the Emperor of Dongyi to add fuel to the fire of the Baiyi in Menzhou.

"The calamity of the human race began when you manipulated the reincarnation of the underground tunnel just now. As the first person in the reincarnation of the underground tunnel, Chimei takes on the great fortune of the underground and is the vanguard of the calamity of humanity." The Emperor of Dongyi still explained with a smile.

Yu Shuyang was stunned when he heard this. He suddenly realized that it seemed that the first person to reincarnate was Liu Huangshu, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

He asked in return, "Emperor, you've been talking about the Red Eyebrows, but was it the Red Eyebrows ancestor who just attracted lightning to transcend the tribulation?"

Yu Shuyang pretended to be stupid and confused. He immediately noticed when the Red Eyebrow Spirit was led into the formation. After all, he had seen the origin of the Red Eyebrows.

He kept grumbling about this in his mind for a long time, thinking that the Red Eyebrow Patriarch had just passed away after a tribulation, and the Emperor of Dongyi brought his true spirit to visit him. Could there be some deeper meaning behind this?

It's no wonder that he was overthinking it. It was because the Emperor of Dongyi had planned too much and he had discovered his use of the fate-weaving technique.

"Every time a killing calamity begins, there will be a vanguard officer, who is equivalent to the person who starts the calamity. This calamity is different from the previous ones. It is not limited to the calamity of the demon sect, but also involves the struggle between heaven and earth, as well as the struggle between humans.

"Your Dao Alliance has never cared about these things. We two families will just wait and see what happens. The East China Sea is far from the inland areas of Kyushu, so it shouldn't be affected." The Emperor of Dongyi explained, still smiling.

At this time, Yu Shuyang had to pretend that he didn't understand. He had already cursed the Emperor of Dongyi in his heart. He finally caught his flaw!

The Emperor of Dongyi secretly joined forces with the God of Goods to create the Wild Sea Water Market. His fundamental purpose was to support the Baiyi in Menzhou, and his goal was to bring Dongyi back to Jiuzhou.

Yu Shuyang had already thoroughly researched the situation. Half-demons were causing unrest in the northern reaches of Zhongzhou, already causing unrest on both sides of the Great River. Now, they were reincarnating the true spirit of the Red Eyebrows to act as the so-called vanguard of destruction. The White Barbarians in Menzhou and the Dog Barbarians in Huzhou were both descended from the Nine Barbarians. It was unclear whether this was a hidden hand left behind by the Eastern Barbarian Emperor or whether he was instigated by him now.

Yu Shuyang is not stupid either. He had hidden a secret early on, which is Liu Huangshu, who carries the dragon nature of the Azure Dragon, the blessing of the earth's energy and dragon veins, and is the first person in the underground reincarnation.

Seeing that he was well-behaved, the Emperor of Dongyi said nothing more. After letting go of his thoughts, he left with the immortal in the black gold robe.

Yu Shuyang and his junior brother Li Taiping looked at each other, exchanged glances, and said nothing. They were worried that Emperor Dongyi and the others had not gone far and might suddenly appear like they did just now.

Let’s not talk about how Yu Shuyang and Li Taiping communicated secretly, let’s talk about Li Zhen on Sanxian Island.

Li Zhen had sent flying talismans to his master, Master Zuo Xianshi, but had not received a response, so he returned to Sanxian Island to visit him.

As the descendant of the immortal way, Master Zuo has always had a special status in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Even though he and his disciple are still staying in the Ten Thousand Crows Palace of True Lord Huo Ya, they still stand very straight.

When Li Zhen returned to Sanxian Island, he learned that his master had been in seclusion for a long time. He saw many fallen flying talismans outside the door, and thought that he must have not received them.

He had no other choice but to stay on Sanxian Island, waiting for Master Zuo to come out of seclusion so that he could talk to him about the God of Wealth.

Ever since Li Zhen settled down on the island, he has visited his fiancée Mu Lingge more often, and their relationship has become closer.

Not long after, news of the Red Eyebrow Patriarch's tribulation came. Mu Lingge was very happy when he heard about it, and often pulled Li Zhen to chat.

Even three days later, they dragged Li Zhen to the island to watch the tribulation. They looked up and stared just like the other East China Sea demons.

Even when the clouds covered the sky, Mu Lingge was still in a state of excitement and kept talking about what happened after the Red Eyebrow Patriarch broke through to the second level.

Not long after, Yu Shuyang's flying talisman was sent over. Fortunately, Li Zhen did not crush it on the spot, but used his mind to explore the contents.

Li Zhen was extremely grateful. Fortunately, he took into consideration that Mu Lingge was beside him. He was worried that his cousin would say something in the flying talisman that should not be heard by others.

Facts proved that what Li Zhen thought was right. There were indeed things that could not be heard by others. Then he began to think about the impact of this matter.

The Mu family was divided into three branches: Mu Ke, Hua Long, and Xiu Xian. Of the three branches, Xiu Xian was supposed to be the main branch, but the Chi Mei Patriarch managed it secretly and seized the initiative.

For example, Chaoju Island and Chaoju City were controlled by the Mu family only because of the relationship with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

From the perspective of the aristocratic families, Mu Lingxian and the Xiuxian lineage should be the main branch, and the Mu Ke family is more like a steward who helps manage the industry.

Now that Mu Lingxian is the only one left among the three branches of the Mu family, the relationship among them is bound to be reversed. Of course, there are many clansmen in each of the three branches, including some fifth-grade and fourth-grade demon fairies.

It was impossible for Mu Lingxian to have the final say. At this time, Li Zhen, as the young patriarch of the Mu family and the representative of the Mu Ke family, had already gained some say.

According to what Yu Shuyang said on the flying talisman, it is unlikely that he would directly embezzle the Mu family's assets.

After all, the Mu family still has another third-grade demon fairy, and they are all members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so Li Zhen can't really do that.

"Lingge, come with me back to Chaoju City now. Something big is going to happen to the Mu family." Li Zhen asked with some suggestion.

After all, he is not a member of the Mu family, and his status as the young patriarch is mostly nominal. If he rushes there this time, he may not gain much benefit.

Mu Lingge was not a fool. She quickly understood what he meant and immediately turned hostile and started beating Li Zhen.

The fist was soft and felt like a massage when it hit the body. Seeing this, Li Zhen hugged his fiancée.

"Lingge, right now, only Mu Lingxian is in Chaoju City. You should know that Mu Lingxian can't stay at home all the time.

As the young patriarch of the Mu family, it is time for me to go back and appease the people. You are also aware of the disputes among the five islands and eight cities in Yazhou.

If someone were to spy on us, who knows, maybe one of the demon families on the island would start a disturbance!" Li Zhen persuaded his fiancée affectionately.

Mu Lingge nestled in Li Zhen's arms, and after being enlightened by his words, she belatedly realized that now was not the time to be willful.

The Red Eyebrow Patriarch who was in charge of the blessed land died in one night while enduring a calamity. He was surrounded by a pack of wolves. It was good enough that someone came forward to help. There was no need to cause trouble at this time.

"Brother Dazhen, what do you plan to do? What can I do after we go back?" Mu Lingge asked.

"Don't panic yet. The news about the ancestor hasn't spread yet, which means we can still keep it secret for a while. The most important thing is that we can't let it be used by those with ulterior motives.

Especially to guard against the island and the city being fought over. It's a pity that my master has been in seclusion recently, otherwise, if he had helped to take charge, it wouldn't have been such a mess. "Li Zhen sighed,
After Li Zhen's repeated persuasion, the two of them found a ship and quickly sailed back to Chaoju Island. Along the way, Li Zhen was comforting his fiancée.

At the same time, he sent a flying talisman back to his cousin Yu Shuyang, and on the way sent another one to his mother Zhu Sanniang.

Ever since Zhu Sanniang broke through to the fifth rank, she hasn't seen Mu Lingge except for helping Li Zhen and his three brothers to divide the family.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but discuss with Mu Lingge: "Lingge, mother has successfully transcended the tribulation and has now taken control of the Zhu family.

After we return, we should visit our mother and also think about marriage; we can’t keep putting it off.”

Mu Lingge was a little confused at this time, thinking about how to appease Li Zhen, and said, "Brother Dazhen, let mother and grandfather decide on this matter.

I wonder if we should go back to Sanxian Island or stay on Chaoju Island?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "We won't come to Sanxian Island, nor will we stay on Chaoju Island. We will go to Lei Island in the desolate sea, where we will build a water market.

With the support of trade routes, our good days are coming."

Mu Lingge's expression stiffened a little after hearing this, but fortunately Li Zhen didn't notice it.

"Brother Dazhen, the Mu family is in danger. We can't just leave like this." Mu Lingge pleaded in a tearful voice.

Li Zhen had no choice but to hug Mu Lingge from behind and said, "Lingge, don't worry. Besides, Mu Lingxian is still in the blessed land."

Mu Lingge nodded and stopped speaking in a pretentious tone. She began to have a slow conversation with Li Zhen, and they both felt happy and harmonious.
