Night fell.
The sky was filled with stars. It was a spectacular sight.
In the wilderness above Dragon Gate Gorge, two small tents were set up.
Wu Tiehu lit a bonfire and scooped up some sweet and clear mountain spring water to boil. He then added in some jerky and wild vegetables. Before long, a pot of fragrant meat soup was ready.
"Young Master, please!"
He immediately scooped up a large bowl and respectfully invited Wu Ming to enjoy it.
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to have such skills!"
Wu Ming drank it and felt that it tasted good. He could not help but praise. "Rest early today. We'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!"
Wu Tiehu naturally did not say anything else. After the two of them had their fill, they extinguished the bonfire and entered the tent.
The night became even quieter and deeper.
Snoring sounds came from the tent next to him. Wu Ming conjured a hand seal and gradually fell asleep.
Almost at the same time, there was a slight ripple on the surface of the lake.
…
"Sneaking into dreams with the wind, whispering silently …"
Wu Ming muttered to himself in a low voice. Then, he looked at his somewhat transparent body that was glowing with white light. He couldn't help but smile. "Is this my Yin Spirit … my dream?"
He looked up and saw that the original moon had a layer of hazy moonlight.
In front of him, a whirlpool appeared in the center of the green lake. It grew larger and larger, and the waves automatically parted, revealing a path that seemed to lead to the netherworld.
"Since you have a request, it would be impolite of me to refuse!"
Wu Ming did not seem to have any doubts. He took the lead.
Among the Taoists, only those who cultivated to the Perfected Person level could have the ability to leave their body and enter the netherworld.
Of course, the current him was far from that level. What he was doing now was just a dream.
In other words, everything that he saw now was just his own dream.
However, although it was a dream, he used the Spirit Guidance Technique and was so close. The Flood Dragon at the bottom of the lake could definitely use this to send some messages.
The waterway automatically parted. Outside the water membrane on both sides, colorful fish swam past. Green algae and colorful rocks competed with each other. It was as beautiful as a dream.
"You're finally here. My Dragon God has been waiting for you for a long time …"
At the end of the waterway was a spiritual land.
Amidst the resplendent splendor, a palace appeared, on which, the four words' River Earl's Water Palace 'shone brightly.
There was a row of prawn soldiers and crab generals on each side. They wore bright armor and held spears and halberds in their hands, and they seemed majestic and extremely loyal.
At the entrance of the Water Palace, a funny old tortoise wearing a black hat and carrying a tortoise shell on his back was overjoyed when he saw Wu Ming. He stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"Alright, you lead the way!"
Wu Ming looked at himself. He was wearing a black robe and a jade crown. In his hand was a horsetail whisk. A clear light shone down on him. The Yin Deity was as bright as colored glass, with a hint of scarlet.
Looking at the turtle with a smile that was not a smile, he flicked his sleeves and said.
"Taoist Leader, please!"
The tortoise smiled charmingly, its small eyes blinking as it led the way.
This River Earl's Water Palace was naturally luxurious. Gold and silver were the pillars, white jade was the floor, and pearls were the decorations. On both sides, there were seven-colored corals that were tens of feet tall. It was extremely luxurious. Needless to say, what was even more shocking was the shocking spiritual energy that rippled within the Water Palace!
The mighty water veins carried the spiritual energy of the Wrath Dragon River. It surged over violently, even forming a spiritual rain that fell like a dream.
Without this, no matter how luxurious the Water Palace was, it would just be a palace in the human world. With this spiritual rain, it would instantly become a celestial paradise.
They walked past the pavilions and pavilions. The tortoise brought Wu Ming to an even more luxurious hall. On the board, there were two words, 'Pearl'.
"My Dragon God has specially prepared a banquet for Taoist Leader. Please take a seat!"
Wu Ming entered.
In that instant, within the hall, the bead curtains shook, and the bells rang. The accompanying water dwellers looked over and bowed.
"Taoist Leader, please take a seat!"
The tortoise brought Wu Ming to the first seat on the east side and sat down. Immediately, there were clam girls and shell girls who smiled and came forward to serve them. They served delicacies, spiritual fruits, and celestial wine for him to enjoy.
"Music!"
"Dance!"
Seeing that Wu Ming had used two Vermilion Fruits, the tortoise shouted softly.
The sound of bells and drums could be heard. A group of musicians came forward and played the instruments in their hands.
Amidst the drumming, there were tens of beautiful female dancers who only had light veils on. Their bodies were graceful and their expressions were innocent. They sang and danced, intoxicating people.
"Good! Good! Good! "
Wu Ming, on the other hand, was very satisfied. He minded his own business and enjoyed himself. Suddenly, he sighed. "Delicacies must be eaten, fine wine must be drunk, and celestial women must be used. This is indeed the atmosphere of a celestial. It makes others envious … but where is the Dragon God?"
"Since Taoist Leader has asked, I will go and invite him!"
The tortoise smiled and bowed before entering.
"The Dragon God has arrived!"
Not long after, accompanied by a clear voice, all the water dwellers in the hall left their seats and bowed. "Greetings, Dragon God!"
Wu Ming looked over and saw a group of palace maids holding palace lanterns, colorful fans, and canopies. They were standing in two rows with their eyebrows lowered and their expressions were very respectful.
A stern-looking middle-aged man wearing a golden robe and a jade crown walked out. Circles of spiritual energy formed a whirlpool around his body, as though it was resonating with the spiritual energy of the entire underwater palace.
Behind him, a river surged and formed the shape of a huge river. It was a panoramic view of the Wrath Dragon River.
"It really is the Dragon God, Earl Water!"
Wu Ming smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"How dare you! Why aren't you paying your respects to Lord Earl Water?"
The soldiers on both sides scolded.
"Lord Earl Water, do you think so too?"
Wu Ming was calm and collected. He raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be angry. He asked with emotion.
"Are you not afraid of my laws?"
The middle-aged man stretched out his palm. Boom!
Amidst the dragon's roar, a huge, golden shadow of the Dragon God appeared behind him. Its eyes were aimed at Wu Ming.
"Sigh … Even the prosperity of the celestial family is just like a dream …" Wu Ming sighed. "In my dream, it is my home field. Even if your spiritual energy is monstrous and you can enter my dream, after going through layers of seals, how much of it can be left?"
As he sighed, a ball of flame appeared on his hand.
Flames shot in all directions. Under Earl Water's horrified gaze, no matter if it was the jade palace, the thousands of water dwellers, the prawn soldiers and crab generals, the clam girls … they were all turned into powder.
Even the void seemed to shatter, stirring up the entire River Earl Water Palace and turning it into darkness.
"Ah …"
River Earl roared in anger, but he couldn't even maintain his body and exploded.
Wu Ming stood in mid-air and saw that after River Earl exploded, a white jade Flood Dragon appeared. It had a single horn, fish whiskers, a snake body, and two claws. Its body was sealed by layers of Dharmic chains. On its head was a huge stone tablet that emitted golden light.
"Flood Dragon, if you want to ask for help, you have to think about your own situation!"
Wu Ming looked at the Flood Dragon and shouted coldly.
The scene just now was obviously the Flood Dragon reenacting the scene of the Dragon Palace in the past. It wanted to use wealth, women, and even majesty to suppress him and take the initiative.
Unfortunately, Wu Ming didn't fall for it at all. He immediately made the Flood Dragon let out an angry roar.
"Daoist, what do you want?"
The dragon stared at Wu Ming. A voice appeared in his heart. It sounded like a man and a woman, but it was neither. It was the voice of a god.
"I don't want anything. You dragged me into your dream because you have something to ask of me. Why don't you just say it …"
Wu Ming's voice was like ice jade striking each other. It was extremely clear and shook the surroundings.
"Let me out!"
The Flood Dragon struggled again and said helplessly.
"Let you out?" Wu Ming smiled. "If I'm not wrong, you should have noticed it. The Wang Family even sent people to contact you. The second of February this year is the day you will be free. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The kid from the Wang Family suppressed me for a hundred years and made me suffer. He even set up many traps. If I really do what he wants, my five hundred years of hard work will all go to someone else. I won't even get revenge on the Wang Family. How can I bear it?"
The loud voice immediately sounded in Wu Ming's heart.
Even the surrounding lake was boiling, showing the Flood Dragon's great hatred.
"… Back then, I could have successfully inherited the position of River Earl. However, I was suppressed by the Wang Family. This time, he pretended to send people here and said that he could help me get rid of the shackles. The price is that I have to pay for it. I even have to provide 50% of the Water Dragon Energy to his descendants …"
As if it knew Wu Ming's personality, the White Flood Dragon said, "If that's the case, not only can the Wang Family wash away the last bit of resentment and ascend to the position of a fifth-grade City God, his family will also be able to merge the Water Dragon and Earth Dragon into one. At that time, I really won't have any hope of taking revenge!"
"I see …"
Wu Ming nodded. A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.
What the flood dragon said was exactly the same as what he had guessed before, "Then how do you want me to help you break free?"
Hearing Wu Ming's question, the Flood Dragon's eyes flashed. "You have a Dragon Pearl on you. It belongs to the Dragon Clan. If you give it to me …"
"Impossible!"
Wu Ming's expression changed. "You evil dragon. You still dare to bully me?"
"Can't you feel the Dragon Qi in it? You want my Dragon Pearl. I'm afraid it's not as simple as getting out … Could it be that you want to directly become a True Dragon? Hehe … That's a good plan. I'll end up with nothing. I won't allow that! "
Seeing this, the White Jade Flood Dragon felt a little helpless.
It could sense that the Suihou Pearl on Wu Ming could greatly increase its origin and even its dragon nature. There was even Dragon Qi in it. If it obtained it, not only could it immediately get out of trouble, it could even get great luck. Not only would it become a True Dragon, but its Flood Dragon body would also improve greatly.
Most of its previous arrangements were for this.
Unfortunately, this pearl already had an owner. If not for Wu Ming's promise, it wouldn't dare to forcefully take it even if it got out of trouble. Great luck was also great karma. It wasn't wise to interfere rashly.
"This method won't work. If you still want to get out of trouble, say it again and say how to repay me. If you succeed, we'll be even. If not, I'll immediately turn around and leave!"
Wu Ming said decisively. Seeing this, a trace of gold appeared in the Flood Dragon's eyes.
