Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 312 Spring's Sworn Brother? Who? Me?

Even the Nine Provinces Order Talisman on Han Wugui's body, which was just one step away from the top three ranks, could not escape, becoming the core of the Obedient Dragon Pearl and the Three Officials' Dharma Realm.

It begins to transform along with the Dragon Balls.

The first layer, [Water Official Dharma Realm], was completely perfected, reaching or even exceeding the strength of similar celestial treasure ships and legendary warships.

At the same time, in addition to the [Water Official Realm], another layer of the [Earth Official Realm] and another layer of the [Heaven Official Realm] began to take shape.

All that's missing is one last shudder from Han Wugui's true form, Ao Jun, to achieve complete perfection.

Wang Cheng didn't rush to leave; he turned his head and glanced at the bedroom next to him.

Old Turtle Han Qinyu once again used his ghostly divine form to leave his body and wander off somewhere unknown. At this time, he probably still didn't know that a major incident had occurred in the Prince's mansion, and that the servants were about to empty the house.

"This royal palace is essentially the sacred space of a living ghost or deity; it's one thing for it to operate on the periphery."

Trying to sneak into his bedroom and kill his seemingly defenseless body is just wishful thinking.

Moreover, the timing isn't right; killing just one would only alert the enemy.

So, Wang Cheng took out a giant gunpowder barrel that he had prepared in advance from the money box. It was filled with high-explosive purple gunpowder that he had obtained from Lu Yunchen.

A Five Thunder Talisman, capable of long-range remote control, was affixed to its surface. Then, the [Heavenly Market Equalization Method] was activated, and a wish was made:

"By the Heavenly Market, your disciple makes a vow to borrow the secret technique of the national treasure, 'Openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass,' to keep the gunpowder here hidden for another seven days without being discovered by anyone."

He handed another Five Thunder Talisman, used to control the gunpowder barrel, to Lu Yunchen.

Seven days is roughly the time it takes to open the furnace of the immortal elixir. No matter what conspiracies there are, they will all be settled at that time.

To deceive a living ghost or deity, even with a readily available scheme, Wang Cheng still had to exhaust a month's worth of hard work, leaving him with a pained expression.

"Old Lu, Old Lu, I've been through thick and thin for you, brother."

It doesn't matter to me whether the main branch or the collateral branch of the Han family wins. The old tortoise is dead and his son can't find my fault. I'm only helping Emperor Shaozhi out of respect for you.

Whether my guess is right or wrong, and whether you can protect that ruler who is beset by enemies on all sides from being assassinated, this is all I can do to help you.

The money eye directly sent Tongmu Ren back to Yingzhou, where war clouds were already gathering, and his consciousness was instantly withdrawn and returned to his physical body.

At this moment, Wang Cheng's true form had already appeared with Yan Yunxiao on the vast and boundless north side of Poyang Lake, above Luoxing Lake, which was occupied by Ao Jun.

Further north lies the formidable river, where the rich essence of the marshland washes over you.

Woo woo woo.
Here, dark clouds gather, pressing down from all directions, layer upon layer, so thick that you could reach the bottom of the clouds with just a stretch of your hand across the lake.

The fishermen fishing on the lake and the water collectors in the inland rivers realized that something was wrong and rushed ashore to take refuge.

Some sharp-eyed people even saw two dragons, one white and one green, each over ten feet long, peeking out a scale or claw in the clouds, surrounded by countless temple soldiers and ghost soldiers dressed in black armor.

He immediately bowed down:

"May the Dragon God protect you!"

Such a commotion naturally alerted the owner of the place long ago.

Amidst the churning of the water, a gigantic turtle with horns on its head and a body larger than a thatched hut emerged from the water's depths, puffing out smoke from a jade pipe dangling from its mouth.

This is quite different from Han Moo-kyu's image.

Behind him followed hundreds of temple soldiers and ghost soldiers [shrimp soldiers and crab generals].

As is widely known, after reincarnation, the human form is the true form of those demons.

Han Wugui originally planned to wait until his health improved before causing trouble for [Qinglan Dragon Lord] Yan Yunxiao, but unfortunately, he will never get to do so.

Due to the burden of his human form, Ao Jun's demon body suffered severe damage to his spirit and soul, resulting in a decrease in his strength by at least half.

Even now, his mind is still filled with a frenzied rage:

"Ah—! I've not caught a stroke!"

It must be the emperor who has targeted my lineage, the Guangze King. The one who killed my reincarnation must have been some kind of curse.

Prince Yi, it's all your fault for acting recklessly and exposing yourself, which has implicated everyone.

"I am unwilling! I am unwilling to let the divine artifact of the state, so close at hand, slip through my fingers! The opportunity to transform into a true dragon is so near! I am unwilling!"

Unfortunately, this is just impotent rage and solves nothing.

As the tide receded, and sensing the undisguised fourth-grade aura emanating from his original target, [Azure Dragon Lord] Yan Yunxiao, and the azure dragon beside her, Ao Jun's heart sank.

He forced a calm expression, pretending not to recognize her, and said indignantly:
"We are neighbors, and we are all aquatic creatures of Poyang Lake. Why do you dare to invade my Luoxing Lake for no reason?"

Wang Cheng and Yan Yunxiao were both taken aback by this opening remark.

"Uh"

They exchanged a glance and realized that, excluding Han Wugui's influence, they indeed had no legitimate reason to follow him, and had never even had any dealings with Ao Jun.

Thousands of aquatic creatures in Poyang Lake also peered around, eager to find out the answer.

Wang Cheng, unable to explain the truth to others, glanced at the jade pipe in his mouth, then nodded and said solemnly:

"Smoking is harmful to your health." A-Xiao was even more direct:
"That's right, prepare to die!"

This monster has been in the human world for too long and has lost its mind. As monsters who live in seclusion, why would they need any reason to fight?
Might makes right!

Its right paw supported the seemingly weightless square tombstone, the Hundredth Stone.

The [Nine Provinces Order Register], which has the authority to allocate official energy, is activated.

The local official aura swept in and enveloped the tombstone, transforming the square tombstone into a large, golden seal.

"town!"

With a gentle toss, the seal, once released from his hand, immediately revealed its true weight, representing tens of millions of taels of silver.

Like a meteor falling to earth, a sonic boom carrying the pressure of collapsing air swept across the sky, and a golden-red streak of light crashed down towards Ao Jun.

At the same time, a surge of military aura, like boiling oil, rose above A-Xiao's head.

A thousand temple-army ghost soldiers [Gao Li Ghosts] emerged from the clouds, forming ranks that surrounded the central Ao Jun and hundreds of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, chanting in unison:
"The way to fight is to strike from the highest heavens to the deepest earth."

The Nine Heavens are represented by the Azure Dragon in spring, the Vermilion Bird in summer, the White Tiger in autumn, and the Black Tortoise in winter. These four deities constitute the Nine Heavens, and their counterpart is the Nine Earths!

Now that autumn has arrived, the military aura has turned blazing white, transforming into a giant white tiger the size of a mountain, pouncing down behind the Hundred-Stone.

The Secret Manual of Military Strategy: The Yin Fu Jing - Nine Heavens Striking Nine Earths!
Later, Wang Cheng unleashed his full power with [Giant Spirit Descends], perfectly acquiring immense strength commensurate with his size. In this state, even when fighting against Sister A Xiao, the true Dragon Girl, he was evenly matched and held his own.

He was even somewhat eager to use this peak condition to reclaim his authority as the head of the family from her.

In his hands, the pair of [Qilin Shangfang Maces] transformed into two enormous iron rods resembling battering rams, and he followed up to deliver the final blow to Ao Jun.

Before Wang Cheng's breakthrough, they might have needed to use some tricks and schemes, but after the breakthrough, the two of them working together to beat a turtle spirit who was exhausted and injured was like beating a grandson.

I could walk sideways in this Poyang Lake and say, "What does it matter to you if I destroy you?"

"Wait, I'm Chen."

Boom! ! !

His last words were completely drowned out by a loud bang.

Even though Ao Jun was in his own Daoist realm and possessed the power of Baxia carrying the monument, he was instantly shattered by the three heavy blows. The sturdy tortoise shell on his back could not save his life.

A silent lament escaped my lips: "What a tragedy!"

Wang Cheng then grabbed it and refined it into a part of the [Good Dragon Pearl].

Even the body possessing the blood of Baxia was taken in by money, and they prepared to ask the experienced Turtle Spirit Goddess to brew another pot of beauty-enhancing turtle jelly.

His minions scattered and fled, leaving only a thick resentment that lingered on the lake's surface.

Of course, anyone would die with regrets if they encountered a reason like "to prevent him from committing suicide, we must shoot him dead in advance."

From his previous reincarnation as Han Wu-gui, his death was far too unbearable.

At this moment, the resentment in Ao Jun's heart must be at least at the level of a human centipede, and he must be the one at the very end of the line.

If Wang Cheng hadn't captured his soul and brought it to the Wang ship, allowing his remnant spirit to roam freely, it probably wouldn't have been long before another great evil spirit appeared in Poyang Lake.

Moreover, unlike the Grandpa Zong San who is said to have merged with the remnant soul of Chen Jiu Si and only exists in Junshan Lake, the entire Poyang Lake is thrown into chaos by him.

"I've obtained the Dragon Lord's decree from Falling Star Lake!"

Yan Yunxiao raised her hand and a golden divine decree fell into her hand, her face full of joy.

Taking control of Luoxing Lake and Qinglan Lake means that at least one-fifth of the entire Poyang Lake is now in their hands, a truly substantial gain.

Of course, the biggest gain was finally getting the complete version of "The Three Officials of the Dharma Realm".

The second level, the Earthly Official's Dharma Realm:
"The full title of the Earth Official is the Second Rank Earth Official of the Middle Yuan, the Pardoning Earth Official, the Great Emperor of the Cave Spirit and Pure Void."

"He governs the three mountains and five peaks, and on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he will remove from the register of sins and eradicate the roots of evil for all beings suffering in prisons and hell, erase their names from the register of the dead, and elevate them to the register of the living."

But the underworld has vanished from this world, and power has been lost to others.

Wang Cheng could sense that what was being nurtured in this layer was not combat capability, but a shipborne grotto-heaven of considerable size, resembling a blessed land scattered throughout the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

The first layer, the [Water Official Dharma Realm], took one day to condense, while the second layer, the [Earth Official Dharma Realm], required three days to condense.

The condensation of the third layer, the [Celestial Official's Realm], takes seven days.

Wang Cheng didn't really care.

The reason my family was able to obtain the triple power of the Three Officials' Dharma Realm was purely because of the powerful residual energy of the dragon veins of the three dynasties; I had taken a great advantage of the Pu family.

With the complete first layer of the Demon King Tide, he was confident he could challenge any legendary warship.

However, just when Wang Cheng thought it was over...

The "no-capital business" has struck again, acquiring a brand new identity from Ao Jun, much like the "scholar Wang Fugui" of the past.

Wang Cheng stared blankly at the new title that had appeared above his head, and murmured:
"Wait a minute! Junshan Lake Villa. Fourth in command. [Lichun]'s sworn brother? Who? Me?"
