half a month later.

Water Curtain Cave.

On this day, Cheng Long finished his three-day training and walked out of the secret room. He saw A Bao lying in the front hall drinking. He had a tough face, but a red dog nose, which was particularly incongruous.

"A Bao, why did you think of leaving a dog's nose when you transformed? This nose is really annoying. Why don't I help you transform into a human?"

"You don't see it often, but you'll get used to it after seeing it more. My nose is very useful. It has turned into a human nose. I am thankful that I can retain at least a little of my innate ability to track people over a thousand miles."

Although Po was born a wild dog, he has a trace of Sky Roaring Dog's blood in his body. He has a very sharp nose since he was young and can find a target thousands miles away with just a trace of scent.

Therefore, the original dog nose can be retained when transforming.

The tail doesn't have any special talents, it's just for the sake of looking good.

"Okay, as long as you're happy..."

Cheng Long shrugged his shoulders. He really didn't understand the aesthetic taste of the monsters. A dog's nose hanging on a human face was obviously ugly, but Po still regarded it as a treasure.

But this is someone else's business after all. Since Po is unwilling to give up his nose, he can only let it go.

"Boom~~"

Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the cave.

Cheng Long shook his body and teleported to the cliff outside the cave. Then, a demon king came into his sight. He was wearing a black gold helmet, a black silk robe, and black iron armor. He was as majestic as a general, with a waist that was ten feet wide, three feet tall, and holding a big knife.

The devil of the world!

In the original drama, the Demon King originally lived in the Dirty Cave of Kanyuan Mountain. He captured many little monkeys when Sun Wukong was away and almost occupied the Water Curtain Cave. But later he was defeated by Sun Wukong who had returned from his studies using magic. Then Sun Wukong snatched his sword and chopped him into two pieces on the top of his head.

Now the Demon King is capturing monkeys near the Water Curtain Cave. Cheng Long, who replaced Monkey King, feels that he needs to kill the Demon King and give peace to the nearby monkeys.

"Just this once. Whatever happens to the monkeys in the future will have nothing to do with me."

Cheng Long made this decision silently.

Then, he teleported to the front of the Demon King and said coldly: "What a monster! How dare you act so recklessly in the Water Curtain Cave? I will not let you off today!"

His voice was not actually loud, but this sentence could easily spread throughout the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain, attracting the attention of all the demon kings including those in the Seventy-Two Caves.

The 10-foot-tall Demon King looked at the little pudding in front of him, who was only about 1.8 meters tall, and sneered, "Your frail body is not even enough for me to swallow in one bite. How dare you speak so arrogantly here? I think you are tired of living!"

"I hope you can still laugh later."

Cheng Long had a sneer on his face and stared at the three-meter-tall Demon King with a look of despair.

The next moment, a surge of milky white magic power surged out, dyeing the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain white, with clouds and mist rolling and changing unpredictably.

A dazzling five-clawed golden dragon rose up from the clouds, its scales sparkling with dazzling golden light, and its eyes were like two blazing fireballs, emitting sharp and majestic light.

"Ang~~"

The golden dragon roared, the sound shaking the earth, as if announcing its arrival to the world.

The Demon King, who had seemed confident of victory just now, felt the terrible pressure from the golden dragon. He was instantly startled and broke out in cold sweat on his back, with beads of sweat the size of beans constantly oozing out.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but when he felt Cheng Long's cold eyes, he couldn't open his mouth.

"Boom~~"

A breath of dragon was exhaled.

It transformed into a fireball filled with terrifying high temperature in the void and fell on the Demon King like lightning.

The Demon King, who was ranked among the top five among the 72 demon kings in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, was burned to ashes on the spot, and his ashes were blown away by the wind.

The demon kings who used their spiritual sense to observe this scene were all terrified.

"The Water Curtain Cave Master's illusion technique is truly amazing. Give the order, from now on, no one is allowed to approach the Water Curtain Cave. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The demon kings gave orders one after another.

The central area of ​​the Flower-Fruit Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, immediately became a forbidden area for monsters.

At this point, apart from the monkeys that originally lived near the Water Curtain Cave, only the dog demon Abao and the cuckoo Qingyi could enter and exit the forbidden area freely.

……

Time is like running water.

One year and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Aunt Qing, who had been guided by Cheng Long, finally took the last step, which brought about the heavenly tribulation that led to her transformation from a mortal to an immortal.

In the dark clouds, lightning snakes surged wildly, as if they would pour down at any time and raze the Flower-Fruit Mountain to the ground.

"Aunt Qing, please stay away from the tribulation and don't destroy our family."

Next to the Water Curtain Cave is the boundless East China Sea. Cheng Long doesn't want Aunt Qing to face the calamity at the doorstep and destroy his family.

The Water Curtain Cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. There is also a small space inside with abundant spiritual energy, which is very suitable for retreat and practice.

It's a pity to ruin it.

"Hmm~"

Aunt Qing smiled, and then turned into a small cuckoo and flew away. The calamity clouds in the sky seemed to be controlled by someone and surged with her movement.

Soon, the bird flew dozens of miles away.

When she stopped, the first thunderbolt fell.

"boom!"

Thunderbolts as thick as an arm fell from the calamity cloud and hit Aunt Qing's body with incredible precision. The palm-sized cuckoo was instantly struck black by the thunderbolt.

However, just as her body fell into the sea, a mysterious white light emerged, and the cuckoo, which had a dark surface, was completely healed of its injuries.

Not only that, even her breath became much longer.

"Thanks to the rejuvenation charm given by the young master, otherwise I would have died in an instant!"

Aunt Qing welcomed the thunder with her true form and felt the terrifying power of the heavenly tribulation. She was only grateful in her heart. If it weren't for the nine rejuvenation talismans given by Cheng Long, she would have surely died under the thunder.

Only after experiencing the horror of the thunderbolt personally did she understand why Grandpa Turtle, who had lived for more than ten years, was so hesitant to endure the thunderbolt and would rather die than take this step.

The probability of an ordinary monster successfully surviving the tribulation is too low.

It's shockingly low.

Qing Yi's strength among the demon kings in the Tribulation Realm in Huaguo Mountain is actually not too weak, especially after she learned several magical powers and secret techniques under the guidance of Cheng Long, she can even rank in the top ten.

But even so, she still needs external help.

As the thunderbolts fell one after another, Qingyi was beaten to death, but then she was healed by the rejuvenation talisman and instantly revived with full health. She finally survived the heavenly tribulation that lasted for half an hour. "Wow!"

A beam of white light dispelled the dark clouds and fell on Qingyi.

After experiencing nine dangerous situations, her aura began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is this the power of immortals?"

Aunt Qing, who successfully broke through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, felt the surging power in her body and subconsciously punched the sea.

boom!
The navy blue fist mark slammed into the sea, like dropping a bomb into the sea, raising up splashes of water all over the sky and killing a lot of fish and shrimps.

Looking around, there were at least hundreds of tons of seafood floating on the sea with their stomachs turned upside down.

"Aunt Qing, you really understand me. You knew I wanted to eat seafood, so you fried such a large piece specially for me." Cheng Long spoke casually, and quietly flashed beside Aunt Qing. His eyes were like radar, and he began to pick out the best seafood from the crowd of seafood.

We must have a big meal today to celebrate Aunt Qing’s transcendence of calamity and becoming an immortal, entering the realm of earthly immortals.

"Sir, it's all thanks to you that Qing Yi was able to take this step and overcome the tribulation to become an immortal."

Qingyi was saved by Cheng Long more than ten years ago, and now she relies on the rejuvenation talisman given by the other party to survive the heavenly tribulation. She owes him two lives, and she really doesn't know how to repay him.

If the young master was lustful, she could serve him every night, but unfortunately the young master was not lustful, or he had no interest in her.

If I can't repay a favor with my own life, then I can only work like a slave.

From today on, she is the young master's maid, washing clothes and folding quilts, pouring tea and serving water, bathing and changing clothes, washing feet and massaging shoulders... As long as she can serve the young master, she is willing to do anything.

"You are Xiaoyue's elder. Since I have this ability, I will naturally help you become an immortal."

Cheng Long smiled and was just about to catch some shrimps as big as calves to eat when suddenly a large group of shrimps and crabs emerged from the sea. Leading them was a middle-aged scholar carrying a turtle shell, who looked quite festive.

When Qing Yi saw this scene, he subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

"Miss, we are your neighbors. I am Prime Minister Turtle under the Dragon King..." Prime Minister Turtle was very kind and said with a smile, "My Dragon King is very hospitable. When he learned that you were going through the tribulation in the East China Sea, he specially prepared several tables for you to celebrate with at the Crystal Palace after you successfully go through the tribulation."

"So that's how it is. I thought that Prime Minister, you are here to collect debts for these creatures!" Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

It would have been fine if she didn't see any shrimp soldiers or crab generals after killing so many fish and shrimps at once, but now she suddenly saw a large number of shrimp soldiers and crab generals emerging from the sea, as well as the turtle prime minister beside the Dragon King. Her heart instantly hung in the air.

It was only because Cheng Long remained calm that she would have escaped long ago.

"No, no, they are just ordinary creatures without intelligence. There is not much else in the East China Sea, but there are a lot of fish, shrimps and crabs. The fish and shrimps you killed are not even a drop in the bucket."

What Prime Minister Turtle said is indeed correct. There is so much seafood from all over the world in Journey to the West that it is impossible to eat it all.

Hundreds of tons of fish and shrimp had just been killed in the sea area where Cheng Long and his companions were standing. However, in just a few minutes, it attracted countless carnivorous fish, which scrambled to devour their own kind.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Prime Minister, to lead the way."

Qingyi glanced at Cheng Long and learned of the young master's intention. She immediately made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Prime Minister Gui should lead the way.

"please."

Prime Minister Turtle immediately called on the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him to dive into the sea.

Cheng Long and Qing Yi followed behind.

After diving for about an hour, a large glittering crystal palace suddenly appeared at the bottom of the bottomless East China Sea. The door and porch were extremely wide.

Come to think of it, it is, after all, the crystal palace of the dragon clan, a habitat specially prepared for dragons. If the door is not big enough, how can the dragon swim in?
Prime Minister Turtle arrived at the entrance of the Crystal Palace and turned around to say, "You two, please come in."

Cheng Long didn't hesitate and walked straight in.

Qingyi, who was following behind, stepped over the water curtain and into the Crystal Palace. The moment she did so, she breathed in the familiar fresh spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the Crystal Palace was extremely abundant, even more exaggerated than that in the Water Curtain Cave.

But this is normal, after all, it is the territory of the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Even though the dragon clan seems to be in decline now, they were once wealthy several kalpas ago, and were even one of the protagonists in one of the kalpas.

Therefore, Cheng Long was not surprised by everything in the Crystal Palace. When the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes dominated the ancient world, no one knew how many rare treasures they had collected.

He had originally wanted to "borrow the treasure", and this time he must not return empty-handed.

No matter what, you have to have a weapon that suits you.

Immortal clothes and armor are not a big deal. As he practices the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, his physical body, although not as good as Superman's clone, can still rival the great wizard of the wizard clan who once reigned supreme.

"Hahaha……"

Before a person speaks, his voice already captures people's attention.

The hearty laughter of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, suddenly came. Cheng Long walked into the reception room and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head, walking towards him with vigorous steps.

In many film and television works, the Dragon King of the East Sea is portrayed as a timid and cowardly coward, as if any random character with a name and surname can cause trouble in the Crystal Palace and take everything.

In fact, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is a very low-key Daluo Jinxian. Cheng Long's golden eyes can see at a glance that Ao Guang's "late Taiyi Jinxian" cultivation is a disguise.

The late Daluo stage is Ao Guang’s true cultivation level.

The Prime Minister Turtle who disguised himself as the Golden Immortal is actually the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"I am deeply honored to have such a distinguished guest. I wonder which of you is the master of the Water Curtain Cave in Mount Huaguo?" The Dragon King of the East Sea seemed to be asking, but in fact, his eyes were all on Cheng Long.

"It's me~~" Cheng Long smiled slightly, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Junior Sun Wukong, nice to meet you, senior."

"Haha, there's no need to be like this, my friend Sun. We are all neighbors. Just call me Old Dragon King. Don't be polite to me." Ao Guang didn't expect that the man destined to obtain the scriptures would be so polite to him. For a moment he was actually flattered.

The group chatted for a while in the hall and then moved to the banquet hall.

Just as Prime Minister Turtle said, the old Dragon King had already prepared several banquets with a rich variety of dishes, including lobsters, golden arowana, king crabs, and all kinds of precious seafood.

There are even land birds on the table.

Fortunately, there was no cuckoo, otherwise Qingyi wouldn’t know whether she should sit at the table.

"My friend, try the arowana. You must have never eaten it before..." Ao Guang picked up a piece of crystal clear golden arowana meat for Cheng Long.

Cheng Long tasted it and replied with a smile: "Old Dragon King, this fish tastes really good. Where do golden arowanas usually live? I'll catch a few and cook them someday when I'm free."

"If you want to eat dragon fish, just tell me. Dragon fish live on the seabed and are rare, so it's hard for ordinary people to catch them."

"Old Dragon King, I am not an ordinary person."

"Ha ha……"

After a lot of turmoil.

Cheng Long drank a mouthful of the fine wine that Ao Guang had collected, and said slowly, "Old Dragon King, I heard that there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. I wonder if you can lend me a weapon?"

"My dear friend, you are really rude. You want weapons, right? I will ask Prime Minister Turtle to get them."

"Give me a few more to choose from, knives, guns, sticks, clubs, whatever."

"Okay, okay..." (End of this chapter)
