Chapter 83 Red Moon

Time flies, years go by, and a hundred years have passed in a hurry.

The Blackwater River is still the Blackwater River. But there are many differences.

"The Dragon King is coming!"

Drums and gongs are loud, firecrackers are blasting, and thousands of people gather at the Blackwater River to visit the temple fair and worship the Dragon King.

Eight strong men carry the stone statue of the Dragon King and parade through the streets.

Many farmers also come to various places in the fish farm and pour bags of fish food.

In the river, many fish are fighting for food, and there are many giants and even monsters.

But people are not surprised, and they pour fish food by themselves. There are even children watching, pointing and laughing.

"I wonder if the Dragon King will show up tonight?"

"Needless to say, he will definitely show up. Today is February 2, when the dragon raises its head. It's a great day for the Dragon King. How can he not come and have fun with the people?"

"Thanks to the blessing of the Dragon King, there are no more water monsters eating people in the Black Water River, and the surrounding area is even more prosperous!"

"I heard that the temple priests of the Dragon King Temple are all disciples of the Dragon King. The Dragon King has passed down many farming methods and blessed the good weather and good harvest, which has greatly increased grain production and achieved a bumper harvest every year."

"Look at those men. They carry the Dragon King statue weighing tens of thousands of pounds on their shoulders like a cotton basket. It doesn't take any effort at all. Sure enough, they have all learned the immortal method from the Dragon King, and they will be immortals in the future."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, and it was even more heated.

At the same time, in the Black Water River.

The black water is deeper and the spiritual energy is thicker.

There are guards in all waterways, and there are shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals, eels, dragons, snakes and pythons patrolling back and forth.

Looking closely, under the heavy black water, there is a black crystal dragon palace, which is the Black Water Dragon Lord's Palace.

The four gates of the palace are guarded by four naval forces.

The general at the south gate has a human body and a dragon head. He wears a chainmail gold armor and holds a three-pointed two-pronged fork. He is surrounded by electric light and looks very powerful. He is the general of the Electric Department, the Eel Dragon!

The general at the north gate has bulging eyes and a round belly. He stands on one foot. His whole body is gilded and colorful. He only has a red shawl behind him. He is also very powerful with his bare hands. He is the general of the Fighting Department, the Golden Toad King!

The general at the east gate is also a dragon head. He hisses and spits out a long letter. He is a snake. He hangs a Xuanshui magic sword on his waist. He is graceful and charming. He is the general of the Dragon Department, the heroine Bai Jiaojiao!

The general at the west gate has black skin and a white belly. He is extremely fat. He holds a pair of eight-sided golden melon hammers in his hands. It seems to have the power to break the mountains. He is the big-bellied general of the Xuan Department!

After the four gates, in the water palace, there was a clam spirit serving as a maid, bright and charming, and a turtle minister serving as a prime minister, all calm and composed.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you girls, how can your hands and feet be slower than an old guy like me?"

An old man with a turtle shell on his back and a crown on his head urged a group of clam spirit maids: "Hurry up and send these wine and food in, don't delay the Dragon King's drinking."

"Yes!"

The maids laughed in unison, carrying wine and food, and entered the palace.

In the extremely spacious hall, a green dragon with a body of nine feet sat on the dragon throne in a very humane posture.

Many maids wandered around the hall, pouring jars of fine wine into large wine glasses like vats, and roasting and cooking spiritual rice with grains as big as fruits, as well as cattle and sheep...

Yes, cooking, this water palace can also light fire and cook cooked food.

"Lord Dragon, please have some!"

"Hmm~!"

Xu Yang stretched out his short claws, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then threw a few roasted and cooked cattle and sheep into his mouth, chewed his lower abdomen, and the whole dragon lay down on the dragon chair with great satisfaction.

As mentioned before, the black carp is lazy and prefers quietness to movement.

The body's instinct has a great influence, making Xu Yang's temperament more and more tired and more and more fond of enjoyment. Every once in a while, he has to live a "wine pool and meat forest" life.

Compared with the body that practices hard day and night and works hard, it is simply too comfortable.

Xu Yang has no way to deal with this. The body's instinct is like this, and he can't resist it completely. It's good not to be affected by "dragon's nature is lustful". If "fish's nature is salty" doesn't relax a little, then this body may be suffocated.

Of course, instinct is instinct, and there is a little influence, but it can't completely control actions.

In the past hundred years, Xu Yang has done a lot of things.

For example...

"How is the spiritual medicine garden going?"

After drinking another cup of spiritual wine, Xu Yang, who was a little drunk, lowered his eyes and asked the woman serving beside him.

The woman did not dare to neglect it and said repeatedly: "Reporting to the master, under the nourishment of spiritual energy, three batches of spiritual medicine will mature this month. Master, do you want to pick them yourself, or let me and other disciples do it for you."

Xu Yang collapsed on the dragon chair and waved his paws casually: "You go."

"Yes!"

The woman nodded and remembered it in her heart.

She was Xu Yang's eldest disciple, one of the few human races in the water palace.

More than 60 years ago, a group of people suddenly came to the Black Water River, shouting something about offering sacrifices to the Dragon King, and then threw her and several boys and girls down.

Then...Xu Yang had a group of disciples and began to contact the human race in this world, officially extending his influence beyond the Black Water River.

He did not intend to dominate the world again.

In this world, immortals and gods are everywhere. Although most of the gods are sleeping now, Xu Yang still doesn't dare to show off too much. He just wants to be a salted fish in the Black Water River.

He extends his power just to get information and collect spiritual medicines. There is no other intention.

In addition to recruiting and teaching these human disciples, Xu Yang's own strength and the development of the water tribe have not fallen behind.

In a hundred years, he visualized himself and gained something. He created the "transformation realm" of the fish-dragon transformation, and successfully cultivated with the help of the Black Water Divine Seal. Now he has become a transformed demon who has cultivated a dragon ball and is comparable to a golden elixir.

As for the aquatic tribe, because he took over the Black Water Divine Seal and completely gained control of the Black Water River, he could call on the earth's spiritual energy at will, so the breeding business was further improved. The number of black water aquatic tribes rose sharply, and the various naval forces developed rapidly.

Now, there are 100,000 naval forces, divided into four parts: "Xuan", "Long", "Dou" and "Dian". The generals of each part are great demons who have transformed from golden elixir, and they are under the command of hundreds of foundation-building generals who have trained into demon bodies, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers at the level of demon beasts.

It is not easy to make a golden elixir, and it is even more difficult to cultivate demons. These four generals can become transformed demons who have cultivated inner elixir in just a hundred years, all thanks to his "enlightenment".

It is not only the enlightenment of breeding skills, but also the enlightenment of the authority of the earth god.

That's right, the authority of the earth god can also enlighten and awaken the spirit. With the enlightenment characteristics of the breeding skills, the two effects are superimposed, so there is such progress.

Whether it is strength or power, the progress is great.

There is only one thing that is stagnant.

That is the earth god's practice and the development of the spiritual land.

After practicing, Xu Yang found out how difficult it is to practice the earth god's law.

It can be divided into five realms, ordinary land, spiritual land, spiritual domain, blessed land, and cave heaven!

The Black Water River currently belongs to the spiritual land, but this spiritual land is not his credit, but the result of the Black Water God Seal running independently, gathering spiritual energy, and improving the earth element for tens of millions of years.

A hundred years ago, when he took over the God Seal and began to practice the earth god, this Black Water River was a spiritual land.

A hundred years later, he worked hard to improve the quality of the Black Water Aquatic Clan by several times, and transplanted many spiritual objects, and even accepted the incense and faith of the people, and the people's wishes, but this Black Water River is still a spiritual land.

Although there are different levels of spiritual lands, even with many skills and characteristics to help them develop, a hundred years of hard work has not been able to improve one level, which shows how difficult it is to practice as a land god.

In fact, the practice of land gods is not calculated in units of a hundred years, but thousands of years.

The previous Black Water Dragon King spent thousands of years to barely upgrade the Black Water River to the level of "upper-grade spiritual land", but the demon world invaded and it collapsed and disappeared in one day.

Now, Xu Yang took over and started to operate from the "lower-grade spiritual land". After hundreds of years of hard work, he barely touched the threshold of "middle-grade spiritual land".

In this way, if you want to upgrade to a higher-grade spiritual land, and then turn the upper-grade spiritual land into a spiritual domain, and the blessed land and cave heaven after the spiritual domain, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years, and you don't even want to succeed.

It can be seen how difficult the way of land gods is.

Fortunately, the practice of land gods does not hinder practice.

It is like... a profession?

That's right, a profession, a profession called "god".

The level of the priesthood will only affect the effect of the priesthood, and will not limit the improvement of other aspects.

Theoretically speaking, even if Xu Yang's earthly cultivation method has not made any progress and he will always be a small river god, it will not prevent him from practicing martial arts and entering the realm of martial gods and true immortals.

The priesthood is the priesthood, and the cultivation is the cultivation. A high priesthood is certainly strong, but a low priesthood is not necessarily weak.

That's the logic.

Therefore, Xu Yang didn't care much and continued to live his salted fish life, raising fish, planting grass, opening a furnace from time to time, refining pills, improving his skill proficiency, and then delving into the talisman formation, eating and drinking while maintaining cultivation, and slowly deducing the fish dragon transformation method...

In this way, more than a hundred years have passed.

His alchemy skills have been greatly improved, and now there is a 70% probability that he can refine a foundation-building pill.

70% probability is really not low. You should know that even for a third-level alchemist, the probability of refining foundation-building pills is only 70% to 80%, and 40% of them are obtained by relying on advanced cultivation, mind and magic power control.

Xu Yang is now a transformed demon comparable to the golden elixir, so apart from the 40% probability brought by the cultivation advantage, he now has a 30% probability of refining foundation-building pills.

He can try it. In fact, he has already tried it. Every once in a while, he will consume the power of his soul to transmit the spiritual medicine cultivated in the Black Water River to the real world.

Now, the spiritual medicine reserves in the real world are enough for him to refine three foundation-building pills.

This is the accumulation of the Black Water River for a hundred years.

There are a lot of gains.

But there is still a regret, that is... the method!

Although there are immortals and gods in this world, that was tens of millions of years ago.

Tens of millions of years ago, the battle between gods and demons caused the sky to collapse and the earth to split. Countless celestial beings, earth gods, and human gods fell, not to mention mortals. Except for some who were lucky enough to be protected by the gods and escaped to the paradise, the rest were basically exterminated.

The human race now is all new, and there is no inheritance of the ancient gods.

The inheritance of the ancient gods, the related skills and classics, and the jade slips of Taoist books were destroyed in that war. The survivors could not resist the erosion of time. For example, the Black Water God Mansion, which can leave a god mansion and a god seal, is a fluke among flukes.

For a hundred years, Xu Yang has been committed to finding "immortal caves" and "gods' relics", but he has found nothing. He, an "illegal household", dare not go to the few famous mountains and Taoist temples of the gods rashly, so now he doesn't even have a high-level skill, and he still practices the fish-dragon transformation based on his own creation.

This makes Xu Yang a little distressed.

He lacks skills.

The martial arts classics have only been deduced to the "Baodan" realm.

The same is true for cultivation techniques. All the techniques he has are only about foundation building, not about Jindan, and even not about the method of breaking through the foundation and Jindan.

Because this is also controlled by the Jindan Sect, if you want Jindan techniques, you can only go to the Jindan Sect to buy and exchange them, but the techniques in Xu Yang's hands are all obtained from Qigong cultivators. The strongest is only the likes of the White Dragon Three Evils. How can they have the capital to contact the Jindan Sect?

Now Xu Yang has only one technique that contains the Jindan section, which is the Fish Dragon Transformation.

This Fish Dragon Transformation was created by him based on his own fish dragon body. Rather than creating it, it is better to say that it is to add fuel to the flames and let nature take its course, accelerating the evolution of the "fish dragon body". The original human body cannot replicate the practice at all.

Therefore, his main goal now is to obtain the immortal god inheritance of this world, and it would be best if he could cultivate all the way to the Daluo Jinxian, and no longer have to worry about the problem of techniques.

But...

Just when Xu Yang was thinking about how to find the immortal god inheritance,

At the Black Water River, gongs and drums were blaring, and it was the climax of the temple fair.

Suddenly...

The clouds of disaster surged, covering the sky and the sun!

"Huh?"

"Why is the sky dark?"

"Is it going to rain?"

"Why would the Dragon King make it rain today?"

Everyone was surprised and looked up, only to see a dark sky covering the sky.

In the darkness, another blood light appeared, curved and unfolded, from a crescent moon to a half moon, and from a half moon to a full moon, enchanting and ominous, illuminating the sky.

The blood moon was in the sky!

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the water surface exploded, and a dragon shadow flew out of the Black Water River, rushed into the sky, and stared at the blood moon in doubt.

"Qiong Gao, you are defeated!"

At the same time, between heaven and earth, a voice that was difficult to describe and difficult to describe sounded, announcing to all beings in the three realms.

"I am Mara, the lord of the six heavens of the demon world, the Great Freedom Demon King!"

"This world belongs to me!"
