Life Space: Hu Xiaoxue.
Lin Qing closed the attribute panel and then summoned Hu Xiaoxue.
"Young master, what world is this? Hmm? Young master, you seem to have changed." Hu Xiaoxue asked, looking at Lin Qing.
"I concealed all my presence, yet you still managed to detect it?" Lin Qing chuckled.
"I just feel like the young master is different, anyway... oh dear! I don't know how to describe it," Hu Xiaoxue said somewhat anxiously.
"Hehe, now that I've become a saint, this world is the world of the movie Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Achieving sainthood? Congratulations, young master! Does that mean you can go home now?" Hu Xiaoxue was genuinely happy for him.
"No, I will only be told how to go home after I complete the main quest. The main quest is to establish the Dragon Court, which requires the approval of one of the major powers, such as the Heavenly Court."
"I'm starting to get some leads. I've integrated the Dragon Clan, and in ten years, there should be a huge improvement," Lin Qing said.
"Well, young master, is there anything I can do for you?"
Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "You should also improve your strength as soon as possible. The Xuanming Chaos Record, which you mainly cultivate, involves absorbing chaotic energy."
"Great! I have evolved into the Chaos Ancestral Dragon and can control the Chaos Qi. Now sit cross-legged and circulate your magic, and I will help you break through the barrier."
"Yes, young master," Hu Xiaoxue said solemnly.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Lin Qing caused boundless chaotic energy to fill the desolate planet and then surge into Hu Xiaoxue's body.
Lin Qing carefully helped Hu Xiaoxue refine the chaotic energy.
Suddenly, Lin Qing seemed to have thought of something, and then a spiritual body separated from Lin Qing's body and headed towards the fantasy Earth.
Inside the underwater dragon palace.
Lin Qing arrived at the cave where Ao Bing was in seclusion.
A drop of dragon blood, shimmering with golden light and containing boundless chaotic energy, was dripped by Lin Qing into Ao Bing's brow.
In an instant, an extremely powerful aura erupted from Ao Bing's body. In a fraction of a second, Lin Qing raised his hand and placed it on Ao Bing's brow.
After a long while, the momentum gradually subsided. Seeing the pain on Ao Bing's face, Lin Qing sent a divine thought into him:
"Ao Bing, I give you a drop of blood. You have ten years. If you can refine it, I will pass on a spiritual treasure to you. I hope you will take good care of yourself!"
Instantly, Ao Bing trembled, but then a resolute look appeared on his face. Suddenly, the speed of refining accelerated, and his cultivation level also increased rapidly.
After dealing with Ao Bing, Lin Qing broke through the water and arrived at Flower Fruit Mountain.
The Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain is located in Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and is the hometown of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
This mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It was established when the clear and turbid were separated, and was formed after the primordial chaos was divided.
There is a cave in the mountains called Water Curtain Cave. Inside the cave are stone pots, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone basins, stone beds, and stone benches. On a stone tablet in the middle, it is engraved with "Blessed Land of Flower and Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave Paradise".
At this moment, Sun Kong slumped on the stone bench, holding a pot of monkey wine in his arms, with his monkeys and their offspring below him.
His left and right arms were the Red-bottomed Macaque, also known as Marshal Ma Liu, and the two Cross-backed Apes, also known as Generals Beng Ba.
The four monkeys were very excited. Although they all belonged to the Thirteen Protectors of Flower Fruit Mountain, they were the ones who followed Sun Kong.
Besides the five of them, powerful demon kings like the Bull Demon King and the Flood Dragon Demon King all became mounts or gatekeepers for some immortals and Buddhas.
As for the twentieth and twentieth, they were two one-horned ghost kings who came to join Sun Kong, but now they've long since disappeared to who knows where.
Although the Four Marquises ranked low among the Thirteen Protectors, they were not weaklings.
Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha for five hundred years, and the fact that Flower Fruit Mountain was able to survive was entirely due to their efforts.
The red-bottomed macaque understands yin and yang, knows human affairs, and is good at entering and exiting, avoiding death and prolonging life; the long-armed ape grasps the sun and moon, shrinks a thousand mountains, discerns good and bad fortune, and manipulates the universe. They are all masters.
"Your Majesty, is the one who followed the great monk on his journey to the West truly the Five Protectors, the Monkey King?"
"The Fifth Protector is a real scoundrel. Back when the King hadn't even been captured yet, this guy was already defecting to the enemy. He's a complete scumbag."
"Your Majesty, has Buddha truly spared you?"
“Let him go on his pilgrimage. Now that I’ve become a disciple of the Dragon Emperor, with the Dragon Emperor protecting us, what is there to fear?” Sun Kong said boldly.
“With me protecting you, Tathagata will certainly not cause you any trouble, but if his subordinates come, how could I possibly make a move?” Lin Qing appeared to the side and said coldly.
"Who?" Red-Bottomed shouted, and the other three monkeys were on high alert.
"How dare you! This is the Dragon Emperor. Greetings, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!" Sun Kong shuddered, dispelling the smell of alcohol, and bowed.
"Greetings, Dragon Saint!" Upon hearing this, the four were immediately filled with fear and knelt down.
"No need for formalities, Sun Kong. I can help you hold off powerful figures like Tathagata, but what if their subordinates come down? How can I intervene? Would I be bullying the weak?" Lin Qing said calmly.
"As long as it's not that old Buddha himself who comes, I'll beat them to a pulp every time one of them comes," Sun Kong said fiercely, clenching his fist.
"Heh, let alone Guanyin, even if a few powerful Buddhas, or Erlang Shen, or Nezha came, do you think you could withstand them with your current strength?" Lin Qing said calmly.
"It's all that Buddha's fault. For five hundred years, he poured special molten copper and iron into my body every day, trying to break my golden body."
"Although he didn't succeed, my magic power was broken, and seven or eight tenths of it has dissipated. My own strength has been severely damaged." Sun Kong shook his head and sighed.
"Then you should intensify your cultivation. The cultivation techniques you are currently practicing are among the most advanced in the world."
"In that case, I will give you some cultivation resources. I want you to recover as quickly as possible. The strength of your subordinates also needs to be improved. I will pass on this cultivation technique to you."
Lin Qing passed on the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique to Sun Kong and gave him a storage bag filled with cultivation resources.
"Yes, Dragon Emperor, I will speed up the recovery of my cultivation and also help my monkey descendants improve their strength." Sun Kong's face lit up with joy, and he bowed in thanks.
"Yes, remember, I have integrated the Dragon Clan. Take some time to reconnect with them. You got your golden cudgel from Ao Guang," Lin Qing said calmly.
"Alright, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor," Sun Kong said with an awkward smile.
Chapter 642 The Dragon Court Stands Firm
Time passed little by little, and soon, ten years had gone by.
Deep in the universe, Lin Qing is protecting Hu Xiaoxue.
Hu Xiaoxue is now at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and is currently consolidating her cultivation. After all, she is just an ordinary fox demon, and reaching this level is already quite impressive.
Several more days passed, and Hu Xiaoxue opened her tightly closed eyes.
"Thank you for protecting me, young master," Hu Xiaoxue said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go back to the East China Sea. Hopefully, they'll give me a big surprise," Lin Qing nodded and said.
Afterwards, Lin Qing took Hu Xiaoxue back.
The underwater dragon palace.
The East Sea Dragon Palace has now become the main base of the dragon race, where a large number of dragons have gathered. In addition, there are also some dragons guarding the other three seas.
In ten years, all forces in the four seas and east, west, south, and north have been subdued.
Even those stronger than the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas submitted with the help of Flower Fruit Mountain.
Today, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are hosting a banquet in their Dragon Palace to entertain the people of Flower Fruit Mountain.
Sun Kong sat in the main seat, flanked by the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas. Below him were Sun Kong's Four Tiger Generals. Behind them were the leaders of various large and small forces.
"Come on, drink." Sun Kong picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
"Haha, drink."
Everyone quickly raised their wine jars and began to drink. The entire Dragon Palace was filled with joy and laughter.
"Not bad, Sun Kong, your cultivation has recovered to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal." Lin Qing's voice suddenly rang out.
Then, Lin Qing and Hu Xiaoxue appeared at the banquet.
Sun Kong immediately snapped to attention, his drunken state vanished, and he stood up respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."
"Greetings, Ancestor!" The dragons hurriedly bowed.
The leaders of the other major and minor factions also reacted quickly, bowing in unison.
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, the four seas have been brought under control. These are the leaders of all the major and minor forces," Sun Kong said, pointing to the monsters below.
"We swear to be loyal to you to the death!" they said in unison.
"Very good, this is a reward for you." Lin Qing took out a drop of the Immortal King's essence blood and scattered it into the wine.
Instantly, these drinks became like precious medicines; drinking them could enhance their cultivation, and some could even break through their bloodline to reach a higher level.
"You guys keep drinking. Ao Guang, Sun Kong, come with me." After saying that, Lin Qing walked towards the Dragon Palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor. We respectfully see you off."
The demons' eyes gleamed with excitement. After Lin Qing left, they all drank the divine wine with gusto, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The Dragon Court was established the next day, with its headquarters at the bottom of the sea.
Lin Qing created a small world, which served as the headquarters of the Dragon Court.
The spiritual energy inside was exceptionally dense, and Lin Qing had transformed it into something quite mystical, making it no less than Mount Ling or the Heavenly Court.
This news was also announced to the world. Furthermore, a month later, Lin Qing hosted a banquet for various bigwigs, as well as leaders of sects and forces, to come to the Dragon Realm to participate in the founding ceremony of the Dragon Court.
The Dragon Realm is currently decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Hu Xiaoxue is planning a grand ceremony, with the four kings, including Ao Guang, assisting her.
On this very day, the Dragon Court became famous, and the entire Three Realms came to know about the Dragon Court founded by Lin Qing, the newly promoted saint.
A large number of cultivators, immortals, gods, great demons, sect leaders and patriarchs of various sects led their outstanding disciples to converge on the underwater dragon realm.
In the Dragon Realm, all arrangements have been made. A large quantity of delicacies made from the flesh of immortal kings are offered to attract guests, along with various divine medicines, immortal medicines, and elixirs of immortality.
Most importantly, there are countless ancient delicacies.
Why are they countless? Because Lin Qing used the flesh and blood of the Primordial Eight Treasures to create the Primordial Eight Treasures within his sea of consciousness.
Based on the current ratio of 1 to 100,000 years, Lin Qing has planned a vast area spanning hundreds of millions of miles in the central continent, all of which are ancient treasures.
Lin Qing is now eating as much as he wants, and he can't finish it all. He has no natural enemies and is being fed the best food and drink.
Nowadays, these ancient delicacies are used as signature dishes for banquets, after all, even Lin Qing enjoys this delicacy.
The one-month deadline arrived quickly.
