Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 201 The Fire Qi Leaving the Room Subdues the Demons

The water cave was chilly, and bubbling bubbles were rising from it.

Chen Shunan had just approached the water cave.

Then a gatekeeper monster, holding up a pair of shrimp claws to the sky, shouted,
"They're here! They're here! The general is back!"

Upon hearing this, the little demons in the cave were overjoyed.

"Someone has taken over! Finally, someone has taken over!"

Chen Shunan stared intently, and saw that this shrimp demon was actually a real Yellow Sea prawn that had come to life.

These shrimp are the best! They're plump and springy. The people of Wuqing County love to fry them first and then cook them, coating them with a thick sauce before serving. They're incredibly fragrant!
Judging by its size, this prawn probably weighs several tens of kilograms. I wonder if the meat is too tough or even more tender.

This was the first time Chen Shunan had ever seen a giant prawn come to life, so he couldn't help but take another look.

In that very glance, the giant prawn vaguely sensed the greed in Chen Shunan's eyes and flew into a rage,

"You wicked man, you want to eat me?!"

"Oh, it's just a habit. This is indeed the first time I've seen this, so I couldn't help but be curious..."

A calm voice suddenly rang in the shrimp's mind.

The prawn's body suddenly froze, its claws dangling in mid-air, and it gurgled out a string of white bubbles.

How can this person speak a demonic language?

Could he also be a demon in disguise?!
In that instant when the giant prawn lost its focus, Chen Shunan unleashed a wisp of flying immortal energy, silently striking the prawn demon's claw joint across several feet of water.

The next moment, the large prawn let out a muffled groan, feeling its entire body go limp and numb, and crashed heavily against the cave wall, splashing up a cloud of muddy water, struggling motionless.

Chen Shunan swam past it and said,

“Your general is dead. I killed him.”

The scholar, like a guide, led the way, but only gave the giant prawn a lukewarm look.

The shrimp demon, its black eyes wide open, finally realized what was happening and let out a loud scream.

"They're here! They're here! The general isn't coming back, he's dead!!"

[Wish +2]

Upon hearing this, the water monsters who were still grinding their scales in the cave were so frightened that they dropped the pebbles in their mouths and scattered in panic.
"The general is dead!"

"The general is dead again!"

"Divide your belongings and run for your lives!"

The golden-scaled fish vaguely sensed a familiar aura coming from the cave. It quickly swallowed the seaweed in its mouth and looked towards the cave entrance with shining eyes.

After being a demon for several days, it actually gained a lot of weight, its belly round and bulging like a ball.

Just then, a group of little demons were in a panic when Chen Shunan drew his sword, treading on the waves and leaping through the hole. He brandished the sword, revealing a faint trace of divinity, his divine power awe-inspiring, and shouted…
"Shut your fish mouths!"

The water cave immediately fell silent, with only the sound of the rising and falling currents remaining.

The white-flowered snake dropped its weapon, fell to its knees, and couldn't stop the tears from streaming down its cheeks.

[Wish +4]

A catfish spirit hid its body in the mud and sand, buried its head, and silently pretended to be dead.

[Wish +2]

Some monsters also cried out,
"Spare me! Spare me, Your Majesty!"

[Wish +1]

Seeing that Chen Shun'an was impervious to water, moved naturally, and even understood demon language, and was as imposing and majestic as a mountain, these water demons assumed he was some great demon in human form.

"Why call me 'King'? Call me 'God'!"

"Yes, yes, yes, God, spare my life!"

Chen Shunan looked around and saw five lesser demons, including the giant prawn that was still slumped outside the cave. However, they were of low status and far inferior to the Silver Scholar and the Golden Scale Catfish.

After all, as soon as Yin Shusheng and Jin Lin Gui sensed the divinity in Chen Shun'an, they felt an instinctive call from their bloodline, as if they were peeking into a corner of the ancient and vicissitudes of the past.

That was the divine power belonging to the grass god.

But these lesser demons were no match for them; they were simply intimidated by power.

only……

Chen Shunan took another look at the soft, boneless white snake.

This snake is somewhat intelligent and has shown four points of feedback, making it worthy of cultivation.

Let's raise a white snake.

Chen Shunan ignored the little demons and quickly swam to the red scale.

Instantly, Chen Shunan sensed an extremely pure life force rushing towards him.

The red scales are ancient and simple in appearance, with only a small part being slightly smooth due to long-term polishing.

And it was in this smooth, mirror-like part that Chen Shunan could clearly see wisps of light, like mist or smoke, swimming among the red scales.

The riots were scorching hot, boiling over to the heavens!

It seems that sparks would fly if touched even slightly!
"Doesn't it resemble some kind of 'form and energy' related to fire?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Shunan muttered to himself twice.

All things in the world can be divided into tangible things and intangible things.

The Qi of tangible things is called 'Form Qi'.

The Divine Might Purple Thunder Cannon was forged using 'form and energy'.

In other words... this crimson scale in front of us is some kind of celestial material?

Materials used by cultivators for forging artifacts and drawing inscriptions?!
Chen Shunan was startled.

Under Chen Shunan's patient guidance, the little demons chattered away, revealing the origin and all the information about the creature.

This scale was indeed obtained by General Huang by chance.

It was later discovered that if the scales were carefully polished to make them smooth, touching them could trigger the release of fiery energy within.

It is truly indestructible and can burn anything.

However, if this thing is not handled properly, it can lead to self-destruction.

Even the process of polishing the red scales is extremely dangerous.

So General Huang outsourced the matter, forcibly conscripting these lesser demons to do the hard work. General Huang was a lesser demon who only knew how to use his claws and teeth; he had no knowledge of refining magical treasures or immortal arts, not even the technique of breathing in moonlight.

So he could only polish the red scales and prepare to hang them on his body so that they would be activated if any fierce people attacked.

However, he died before he could even begin his mission, and before he could stir up any trouble with the Crimson Scales, he was betrayed by the Silver Scholar.

Chen Shunan got a good deal.

At this moment, as Chen Shunan reached out and touched the unpolished, ancient part of the red scales, a piece of information appeared in the corner of his eye.

[Obtain a large demon scale containing 'Separation Fire Qi'. Extracting it will replenish the scales of the Ran Yi Fish.]

[Is it extracted? 】

Using form to supplement form?!
Finally, we've found a way to replenish the scales of the Ranui fish!

Upon seeing this, Chen Shunan's eyes lit up and his face lit up with joy.

The fish has been almost plucked bare. Although it still has 59 scales left, it probably won't last even a month.

This was just the right moment to relieve Chen Shunan's and Ran Yiyu's urgent crisis.

Moreover... fire energy outside the room?
Chen Shunan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

The Book of Changes states that the trigram Li is composed of two yang lines flanking a yin line, and its symbol is fire, which also corresponds to the heart and mind.

In martial arts techniques and Taoist scriptures, the term "room" usually refers specifically to certain acupoints for cultivation, such as the lower dantian, the yellow court, and the heart chamber.

Therefore, the fire energy outside the room is the true yang fire that originates from the acupoints.

It has the meaning of flow and growth, which is not innate, but acquired through cultivation!

Therefore, Chen Shunan vaguely guessed that the great demon probably really possessed the method of cultivation, and was a genuine demon immortal, or rather...

Immortals!

Those of different kinds, including demons, who seek immortality and enlightenment are called immortals.

In particular, the people of Baishan, who live in the Changbai and Heishui areas, have adopted Tantric shamanism as their state religion. After entering the Central Plains, various spirits such as weasel spirits and shamans also flowed into the Central Plains, causing a great uproar among the people.

Ordinary people have never seen a real shaman, and only think that it is a money-making trick by a village dummy.

【no】

Chen Bapi thought that Ran Yiyu could hold on for another month, and now that he had mastered the method of replenishing scales, there was no rush.

Let's draw it when we need it; let Ran Yiyu stay bald for now.

Chen Shunan made his decision, waved his hand, and the red scale the size of a millstone vanished into thin air and reappeared in the divine palace.

The Divine Palace is based on the 'Qiankun' position, but currently it only has the [Xu Fire Tomb], which is quite inconvenient and cannot yet contain everything.

But since these red scales are also considered objects of war and fire, they can naturally be included in the divine palace.

So there's no need to worry about flaunting it in public and leaking information.

After putting the red scales into his pocket, Chen Shunan turned around and looked at the group of strangely shaped little demons.

He suddenly flicked out two strands of flying immortal energy from his fingertips. The pale blue energy pierced through the water layer and instantly penetrated the heads of two small demons whose auras were turbid, whose essence and blood were impure, and who had eaten human hearts and livers.

The stench of blood filled the water, and the remaining three little demons huddled together in fear.
It wasn't that Chen Shun'an was kind-hearted and couldn't stand seeing demons eating people.

Instead, by eating people, they developed ambition, learned the deliciousness of human flesh, and discovered the shortcut to spiritual cultivation.

That would be difficult to control and would affect the team's morale.

This is not beautiful.

"Silver Scholar, heed my command!"

Chen Shunan said in a deep voice.

"I am here!"

The silver scholar quickly swam forward, his tail slapping the water, his eyes full of anticipation.

Chen Shunan said, "From this day forward, you will be the first advisor under my command, the Silver Prime Minister! You will be responsible for devising strategies, regulating the water demons under my command, and establishing laws, etiquette, and government affairs! You will temporarily lead these water demons!"

After saying that, Chen Shunan flicked his finger, and a piece of excrement from a gas-eating worm was instantly stuffed into the silver scholar's mouth.

"Understood!" The silver scholar swam around excitedly, his body glowing faintly, and his blood and qi flowed faster.

All my hard work and dedication have finally paid off, and I've finally earned my title!

Then, Chen Shunan looked at the three lesser demons, released a wisp of divine power, and said,
"Are you all willing to submit?!"

Without hesitation, the three demons, even the catfish demon, immediately crawled out of the mud and said,

"We are willing to submit and have met Prime Minister Yin!"

Then, the excrement of three more air-eating insects fell in front of the three demons.

Smelling the fragrant, round treasure in front of them, the three demons swallowed it in one gulp. After only a few breaths, they felt a jolt throughout their bodies, as if their blood and energy had become stronger.

"Thank you, God!" x3
[Wish +2]

[Wish +2]

[Wish +4]

A combination of kindness and severity, a combination of a beating and a sweet treat, is most effective against such lowly demons.

Human believers on the water can collect dew and reap their wishes.

The spirits and monsters at the bottom of the water can also wield the power of life and death, bestow titles and transmit scriptures, enlighten and enlighten, and harvest desires.

Grab it with both hands, both hands must be hard!
Seeing that all the lesser demons had received rewards from the gods except for himself, Jinlin Gui looked at Chen Shunan with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Chen Shunan glanced at its round belly, shook his head, and popped out a pellet as well.

"Thank you, God!" Jinlinji said happily.

Looking at the group of cheerful, innocent little demons.

Chen Shunan always felt guilty about trafficking minors.

Using the excrement of gas-eating insects as a reward is far too stingy!

This does not match the identity of the Water Emperor!

"However, once the grass talisman is complete and the Ran Yi fish upgrades to four legs, it can plant golden lotuses in the mud ball to enlighten the intelligence of aquatic creatures and cleanse their impurities."

"That will be the time for Chen to demonstrate his power in the water, build his team, and assemble a large army of water warriors!"

At that time, won't all those Cloud-Spreading Boys, Pearl-Holding Clam Girls, Tray-Bearing Messengers, Whale Warriors, and Crab Warriors fall into my trap?
Or perhaps they are trusted confidants whom you have cultivated and nurtured, bound together by incense offerings and vows, who would never betray you!
