Chapter 54 Trapping the Ghost King, Opening the Dragon Gate
Yinglong is an ancient deity from the time of creation.
Legend has it that Yinglong opened a dragon gate in the Yellow River.
All living beings in heaven and earth who can cross the Dragon Gate can transform into dragons.
Xu Xian then took Bai Suzhen to the Yellow River to transform into a dragon!
The two set off by water, not in a hurry.
They rowed boats to enjoy the scenery during the day and spent their nights practicing meditation on the boats, living a very relaxed and carefree life.
Even under Xu Xian's quirky sense of humor, Bai Suzhen conjured up clothing that didn't belong to this era, which truly excited Xu Xian.
They traveled for several days without encountering any monsters.
During this process, Xu Xian spent a lot of treasures to upgrade the divine light shield to the blue level.
It can be considered a treasure for trapping the enemy.
Until late that night, suddenly a chilling aura arose.
A demon king, over three zhang tall, suddenly appeared before Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.
"You audacious fiend! How dare you kill my Underworld Black Mountain! You truly have a death wish!"
The Rakshasa King roared so loudly it almost shook the heavens and the earth.
Xu Xian, however, was unconcerned and retorted, "Your Black Mountain Demon came to the mortal realm to commit atrocities, and I am cleaning up the mess for your underworld."
"Hmph, matters of the underworld are none of your concern."
As they spoke, the Rakshasa Demon King raised his steel fork, ready to stab Xu Xian.
Bai Suzhen then drew her jade hairpin sword and used it to parry the Ghost King's steel fork: "My lord, shall we kill him?"
Xu Xian handed the divine light shield to Bai Suzhen and said, "Forget it. If we kill him, the underworld will never be at peace. Let's throw him into Stone Chamber Mountain."
"Alright, I'll do as you say, my lord."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were exchanging flirtatious glances, which infuriated the Rakshasa King.
He gripped the enormous steel fork, gathering all his surging Yin energy into it, and thrust it downwards with a sudden burst of power!
The Rakshasa Demon King intended to kill these two cultivators who dared to provoke the underworld.
The enormous black fork fell, almost shaking the earth.
Just as the black fork was about to reach Xu Bai, boundless golden light suddenly shone forth from this spot.
The golden light completely enveloped the Rakshasa Demon King, leaving no gaps.
The Rakshasa Demon King frowned, reached out and recalled the steel fork, and forcefully swung it towards the surrounding golden light.
"Break it!"
With a furious shout, the malevolent energy surged forth.
Unfortunately, under the golden light of the divine light shield, the mere Yin energy had no effect whatsoever.
The golden light remained omnipresent, completely trapping the Rakshasa King.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
The Rakshasa King was anxious.
He could feel himself moving at high speed, but he didn't know where Xu and Bai were taking him.
At one point, the sensation of movement disappeared, and the boundless golden light completely dissipated.
The Rakshasa King has finally seen the light of day again.
"You've run out of magic, haven't you? This time, let me..."
He roared and was about to swing the steel fork, but Xu Bai was nowhere to be seen.
The surrounding area was shrouded in mist, and there were also Buddhist monks and two immortals, Linghe Tongzi and others!
The Rakshasa King was startled, while the Buddhist monks and the Crane Boy glared at him fiercely.
Although the Rakshasa King's cultivation level was similar to that of the Buddhist monks and the Crane Boy, he did not hold any immortal position.
According to the five categories of immortals in the world—heaven, earth, man, gods, ghosts, and spirits—the Rakshasa King is the lowest rank.
Therefore, the Rakshasa Demon King no longer displayed his previous arrogance and immediately bowed in respect.
"A ghost from the underworld? You're also chasing those two cultivators?"
"yes!"
"Heh, just wait and see."
-------
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen enjoyed two leisurely months before finally arriving at the Dragon Gate of the Yellow River.
"My lord, your timing is perfect; this is precisely the day the Dragon Gate opens!"
The Yellow River flows turbulently, carrying countless silt and sand, turning the entire river a dark yellow color.
For ordinary people, this is not a good time to fish.
Or rather, given the current state of the Yellow River, it is simply impossible to navigate by boat.
But this was certainly not a problem for Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, which was precisely why they came.
It was precisely because the Dragon Gate was about to rise that the number of monsters in the water suddenly increased.
They unleash their magical power in the water, causing the Yellow River to become extremely unstable.
"My lady, I don't have any magic to repel water, so I can't help you this time. You just need to remember..."
Bai Suzhen was born as a snake-dragon and was naturally drawn to water.
Being in water will not only not affect their strength, but will actually be a great help.
Xu Xian, however, was different.
He doesn't know how to hold his breath, nor does he know how to separate water.
Therefore, they dared not enter the Yellow River.
However, he was familiar with the plot and naturally knew how to quickly pass through the Dragon Gate, so he told Bai Suzhen the secrets one by one.
Bai Suzhen nodded naturally and said, "My lord, please wait on the shore. I will be right back."
"Um!"
Bai Suzhen left behind a wisp of her magic to protect Xu Xian before leaping directly into the Yellow River.
The Yellow River basin is rife with undercurrents!
The space within it far exceeds what ordinary mortals can see.
Bai Suzhen entered the water and plunged straight down until she saw a palace in the water that radiated a dazzling light several miles away.
At this moment, the palace was teeming with fish, shrimp, and crabs.
These fish, shrimp, and crabs each wore armor and held steel forks.
They are all soldiers of the Water Palace, there to prevent evil spirits from causing trouble.
After all, the Dragon Gate was now wide open, and all the demons in the world who wanted to transform into dragons gathered here.
If something goes wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, the fish, shrimp, and crabs are on high alert, scrutinizing any monsters that enter the Yellow River waters.
Bai Suzhen arrived at the entrance of the Water Palace, announced her name, and after undergoing a series of checks, finally entered the Water Palace.
Inside the water palace, various wondrous treasures emitted a crystalline light, truly a breathtaking sight.
Besides treasures, this place is also home to all sorts of monsters.
Looking around, there are hundreds or even thousands of snakes and dragons alone.
The number of other fish, shrimp, and crabs that do not belong to the Water Palace is countless.
They all wanted to cross the Dragon Gate and transform into dragons.
Bai Suzhen kept Xu Xian's words in mind and did not make a fuss, but quietly stayed in the corner.
Some demons saw through Bai Suzhen's dragon form and sensed her powerful magic, and wanted to talk to her.
However, Bai Suzhen coldly rejected him.
Time slowly passed.
Half a day later, the Yellow River Dragon King appeared before all the monsters, clad in golden armor.
The Yellow River is one of the largest rivers in the world, and the Yellow River Dragon King is a deity almost comparable to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
Therefore, the surrounding monsters dared not make the slightest move and all bowed in respect.
The Yellow River Dragon King nodded with a smile, then pointed with his dragon claw.
boom!
Boundless golden light rose, and the illusory image of the Heavenly Gate descended.
The demons looked up and saw a dragon gate, higher than the heavens, standing silently in the void.
The Dragon Gate is carved with mythical beasts and celestial birds, and even fairies and goddesses sing and dance, a truly beautiful sight.
"This is the Dragon Gate, established by the ancient god Yinglong! Please rely on your own abilities; as long as you cross the Dragon Gate, you will naturally achieve the true dragon's foundation."
The monsters bowed and thanked them, then made no further hesitation.
They each used their movement techniques to head towards the Dragon Gate above their heads.
On the banks of the Yellow River, Xu Xian conjured a fishing rod with his Ruyi scepter and was leisurely fishing.
Half a day later, the Yellow River suddenly boiled.
A white dragon soared into the sky, successfully leaped over the Dragon Gate, and became a true dragon.
It was Bai Suzhen!
