Chapter 125, Section 124: [The Secret Treasure of Yanfu - The Sea-Stabilizing Needle]

The moment Chen Sheng stepped into the main hall, the Yin spirit hidden in the sea cave looked up at the Dragon King of the East Sea who was sitting on the throne.

With just one glance, the Dragon King's true nature vanished in his eyes.

In Chen Sheng's eyes, this dragon-headed, human-bodied monster lost its concrete form; its powerful dragon body transformed into a writhing mass of golden-red blood and qi.

[Seeing Through Walls]: One can see clearly and thoroughly, observing all directions from a seated position. There are no obstructions above or below the heavens, and one can clearly see all things, including ghosts, gods, and people, whether they are hidden or visible, large or small.

"It is pure and powerful, with a total amount of qi and blood that is about twenty times that of mine, and its quality is also a whole grade higher."

Having made this judgment quickly, Chen Sheng continued to look deeper into the space, where the mass of qi and blood rapidly expanded in his eyes, resembling a sun radiating light and heat.

As the gaze pierced through the surface of the "sun" and entered its interior, what came into view was a network of surging demonic power flowing like a river.

"Its total demonic power is thirteen times that of mine, and its quality is also one level higher."

His gaze continued to wander within the Qi and Blood Sun, where Chen Sheng saw clusters of stored, massive amounts of incense and prayer power.

That was the Dragon King's acupoint, which was currently continuously converting his willpower into qi and blood to nourish his physical body.

After searching within his Qi and blood, Chen Shengcai finally spotted a ferocious dragon spirit with a single horn, three fingers, blue scales, and three halos on the back of its head.

This relieved him.

"Fortunately, the Dragon King of the East Sea is only at the third level of sexual cultivation, and is not a true demon who cultivates both body and mind."

Within this fruit, the path of cultivation for demons also involves the two paths of life and death.

Unlike humans who cultivate Taoist arts and martial arts, the power of demons is inherited from their bloodline.

The power inherited in these bloodlines is biased towards the path of sexuality; some towards the path of destiny; and some cultivate both sexuality and destiny, making progress in both paths simultaneously.

Take the Fierce Tiger King, which Chen Sheng fought, as an example. Despite its majestic appearance, the power inherited in its bloodline is biased towards sexuality, and all its skills lie in controlling ghosts and wind.

The Dragon King of the East Sea before us is following the path of destiny.

Both his demonic body and demonic power have reached the mid-stage of the fourth rank. In addition, he cultivates his spiritual path and uses the power of incense and vows to help him cultivate his life path.

In terms of hand-to-hand combat ability alone, Chen Sheng was naturally far inferior to it, but if Taoist arts were added, Chen Sheng was still slightly inferior to it.

"This old dragon is not easy to defeat!"

Just as Chen Sheng was pondering whether or not to take action, his vision suddenly caught sight of a burst of golden light.

As the gaze continued to penetrate deeper, a towering iron pillar emerged from the golden-red blood and qi.

The middle of the pillar was dark and dull, as if it were cast in iron, with a golden band at each end, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

Chen Sheng simply stared at it, and felt his eyes were blinded, as if he were being attacked.

"This is a Yamafu treasure, and a combat-type Yamafu treasure at that!"

"Although we don't know the specific properties of this stick, judging from the abilities of the Dragon Qi Scale and the Yan Han Treasure Seal, it can't be that weak."

"Damn it, how could I possibly defeat a mid-stage fourth-tier demonic dragon that possesses such a treasure!"

In this realm, fourth-order cultivators are also known as terrestrial immortals, as those who are close to gods and immortals have extremely fast thinking speeds.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Sheng had a clear understanding and analysis of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

After obtaining the relevant information, he immediately felt the urge to retreat and planned to find an opportunity to escape from the East Sea Dragon Palace.

If the Dragon King of the East Sea refuses to release them, then they should force their way out. Even if they can't defeat him, surely they can escape?

Just as Tie Zhu noticed Chen Sheng spying and emitted golden light, the Dragon King of the East Sea, as the master, sensed Tie Zhu's unusual movement.

The Dragon King knew that Lin Suling was trying to probe his true strength, but he didn't care.

Only those in positions of power who lack superhuman strength and need to manipulate others to rule require elaborate rituals to control others, maintain their mystique, and emphasize their unique status. As a fourth-tier demon king standing at the pinnacle of power in this realm, the East Sea Dragon King never hesitates to display his might.

It even enjoys the fear and awe others feel when they perceive its unfathomable power.

Of course, it didn't think that Chen Sheng, a mere third-tier cultivator, could truly see through its secrets. It was probably just like an ordinary person sailing on the sea who accidentally saw a huge shadow rising from the deep sea and would wake up in terror in the middle of the night.

The Dragon King of the East Sea was overjoyed and immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Lin Suling, I heard you've come to your senses and want to become my son-in-law?"

Chen Sheng was perfectly aware that the iron pillar's warning had alerted the Dragon King of the East Sea to his spying, so he took the opportunity to feign being frightened.

Just as he was about to begin implementing his escape plan, a muffled thunderous sound suddenly came from beside him.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
"I have known the eldest princess for many years, and we are deeply in love. We are a match made in heaven. How can you betroth her to this outsider?"

Chen Sheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the largest monster in the hall who was speaking.

His skin was bluish, and he had a round body. When he sat down, he was six zhang tall, which was taller than the Dragon King of the East Sea who sat in the main seat.

I heard that the Dragon King has eight third-tier monsters under his command, and this must be the Blue Whale Monster among them.

Chen Sheng remained calm and observed the sudden unfolding of this scene with detached indifference.

Sure enough, the blue whale demon immediately continued speaking.

"We had already started an affair before the eldest princess's husband died."

No one is more qualified than me to be the eldest princess's new husband!

The demons overseas have less contact with humans and are more savage and blatant in nature. Upon hearing this, all the ministers in the hall burst into laughter.

"General Lan, among the demons present, there are several fellow demons who climbed into the eldest princess's bed even earlier than you."

"If we were to decide who to marry based on the advanced timeline, you wouldn't even be in the queue."

"I never expected General Lan to be such a romantic."

Dragons are inherently silver, and even female dragons who only possess half of the dragon bloodline are no exception.

Faced with the demons' teasing, the eldest princess smiled broadly, seemingly unconcerned about being known that she had been ridden by many demons.

"I didn't expect this widow to be such a womanizer."

Chen Sheng glanced at the dragon girl beside him and secretly admired her.

General Lan was clearly a madman, ignoring his colleagues' teasing and instead looking directly at Chen Shengdao.

"His Majesty wishes to bestow a marriage upon you because of your position as the Demon King."

But, do you really deserve to be the eldest princess's husband, someone who couldn't make it on land and came to my Dragon Palace for protection?
"As the eldest princess's long-time lover, I am an obstacle you must overcome."

At this point, General Lan turned to Chen Sheng and then bowed to the Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Our king has a treasure called the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, which is a supreme treasure born of heaven and earth, and its weight changes with its volume."

Lin Suling, if you are male, then compete with this general in strength and see who can lift the heavier pillar.

If you are lucky enough to win, you only need to offer up the title of Demon King to marry the beautiful princess.

It doesn't matter if you lose. As long as you obediently offer up the title of Demon King, my king will still spare your life.

However, you can no longer covet my eldest princess.

Do you dare to bet?
