Chapter 535 Returning to the Dragon Palace, Attempting to Reach Quasi-Sainthood!
The Blood Sea Passage has reopened.
The Asura stepped forward to lead the way.
Chen Changsheng and the Golden-Winged Roc turned and left the hall.
As soon as they stepped out of the blood-red palace, the murderous intent of Yuan Tu and A Bi slowly receded behind them.
The golden-winged roc let out a long breath.
"Master, the Styx Ancestor is too terrifying."
Chen Changsheng said, "The top-tier powerhouses below the level of a sage naturally exert pressure."
The blood waves lifted the passage, sending them into the sea of blood.
Chen Changsheng glanced back at the depths of the sea of blood.
"It is indeed a great opportunity for Second Brother to be able to undergo the baptism of the blood pool."
The Golden-Winged Roc said, "Once Second Master comes out, his combat strength will definitely increase again."
Chen Changsheng said, "He follows the path of battle, and the Blood Sea suits him very well."
The Golden-Winged Roc said, "Master, shall we return to the East Sea now?"
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"Back to the East China Sea."
With a flap of its wings, the golden-winged roc cleaved through the dark clouds of the underworld.
Chen Changsheng stepped onto Peng's back.
The sea of blood receded behind them.
The boundary of the underworld was torn open by golden light.
The two traveled swiftly, soon leaving the Netherworld and returning to the primordial world between the sea and sky.
Above the East Sea, dragon energy surges.
The golden-winged roc carried Chen Changsheng to the eye of the East China Sea.
Kong Xuan stood beside the sea eye, with five-colored divine light slowly flowing behind him.
He raised an eyebrow when he saw Chen Changsheng return.
"You're back?"
Chen Changsheng fell off Peng's back.
"I'm back."
Kong Xuan looked at him, his gaze lingering on him.
"Things are going fairly smoothly, right?"
Chen Changsheng said, "Successfully."
Kong Xuan said, "You have gained some of the aura of the Ancestral Witches."
The Golden-Winged Roc immediately interjected.
"Brother, you have no idea, when Master went to the Underworld, he almost shook the Palace of Reincarnation."
Kong Xuan looked at him.
"You've entered the Samsara Palace?"
The golden-winged roc choked.
"no."
Kong Xuan asked, "Then what do you know?"
The golden-winged roc said in a low voice, "I sensed it from outside."
Kong Xuan said calmly, "Then say less."
The golden-winged roc lowered its head.
"oh."
Chen Changsheng said, "Empress Pingxin has bestowed upon me a great opportunity."
Kong Xuan's eyes flickered.
"Did Empress Pingxin personally bestow this opportunity?"
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"good."
Kong Xuan said in a deep voice, "It seems you've gained quite a bit from this trip to the Netherworld."
Chen Changsheng said, "It is indeed quite large."
Kong Xuan stared at him.
"You want to go into seclusion?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan has good eyesight."
Kong Xuan said, "You're suppressing your Qi too much."
"If I don't go into seclusion to sort things out, it will eventually backfire on my physical body."
Chen Changsheng said, "So I plan to stay in seclusion in the East China Sea for a while."
Kong Xuan said, "There are still three years before we go to the Heavenly Court, which is plenty of time."
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"That's what I think too."
He raised his hand and gestured.
A dragon guard immediately stepped forward.
"I have met the Immortal of Longevity."
Chen Changsheng said, "Please invite Dragon King Ao Guang to come here."
The dragon guards bowed.
"Yes."
A moment later, Ao Guang arrived quickly with Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and Ao Run.
The Four Dragon Kings were all delighted to see Chen Changsheng return.
Ao Guang cupped his hands and asked, "Did Fellow Daoist Changsheng have a smooth journey?"
Chen Changsheng said, "Successfully."
Ao Qin said, "With fellow Daoist's return, we are all relieved."
Ao Shun looked at the Golden-Winged Roc.
"This fellow Daoist is also unharmed; it seems the journey to the Netherworld has not been disrupted."
The Golden-Winged Roc immediately replied, "That's for sure."
"With a master around, even the Netherworld has to give him face."
Kong Xuan glanced at him.
The golden-winged roc immediately shut its mouth.
Ao Run smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist, did you summon us here for any reasons?"
Chen Changsheng said, "There is indeed one thing."
Ao Guang's expression turned solemn.
"Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Chen Changsheng said, "I would like to use a precious place in the East China Sea to go into seclusion."
"If the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas has a suitable place, please make arrangements."
Ao Guang did not hesitate.
"Fellow Daoist, how could the Dragon Clan possibly refuse your request?"
Ao Qin said, "Deep within the East Sea Treasure Vault lies the Ancestral Dragon's Quiet Chamber."
"The dragon energy there is abundant, and it is also suppressed by the power of the sea eye."
"If you are in seclusion, you may use this place."
Ao Shun nodded.
"Now that the Ancestral Dragon Pearl has returned to its place, the fortune in the quiet room is even more stable."
"Fellow Daoist is in seclusion there, and it is difficult for outsiders to disturb you."
Ao Run said, "We can personally guard the outer layer."
"I will not allow anyone to disturb my fellow Daoist."
Chen Changsheng cupped his hands in greeting.
"Thank you, four Dragon Kings."
Ao Guang quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
"Without you, fellow Daoist, the Ancestral Dragon Pearl would not have belonged to my Dragon Clan."
"Let alone borrowing a treasure land, even if you wanted to borrow the eye of the East Sea, my Dragon Clan would not refuse."
Kong Xuan said, "The sea eye should not be disturbed lightly."
Ao Guang nodded immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is right to remind me."
Chen Changsheng said, "The Ancestral Dragon Quiet Room is enough."
Ao Guang said, "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas led the way.
Chen Changsheng, Kong Xuan, and the Golden-Winged Roc followed behind.
They passed through the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and entered the depths of the treasure vault.
An ancient stone gate stood in front of us.
The stone gate is carved with dragon patterns.
The dragon pattern connects to the earth's veins and draws upon the energy of the sea eye.
Ao Guang took out the Dragon King Seal and pressed it into the center of the stone gate.
The stone gate suddenly opened with a roar.
A vast, dragon-like aura swept over us.
The golden-winged roc's eyes lit up.
"A good place."
Kong Xuan said, "It is indeed suitable for seclusion."
Chen Changsheng stepped into the quiet room.
The quiet room was small, yet it was filled with the aura of dragons.
Ancient array patterns are engraved on the ground.
At the center of the array pattern is a jade platform.
The Jade Platform receives the spiritual energy from the Sea Eye, which is sufficient to stabilize the energy impact of the Quasi-Saint level.
Ao Guang said, "Fellow Daoist Changsheng, this is the Ancestral Dragon's Quiet Chamber."
"Fellow Daoist, you can go into seclusion with peace of mind."
"Leave the outside to us."
Ao Qin said, "If you have any spiritual treasures or elixirs, please feel free to ask."
Ao Shun said, "Although the Dragon Clan is not as prosperous as it was in ancient times, its treasure trove still has accumulated."
Ao Run said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite with us."
Chen Changsheng said, "Not for now."
"During this period of seclusion, I intend to refine one thing."
Kong Xuan's gaze sharpened.
"Something?"
Chen Changsheng said, "To be precise, it's three things."
The Golden-Winged Roc whispered, "Master, could it be an opportunity bestowed by Lady Pingxin?"
Chen Changsheng glanced at him.
"You guessed right this time."
The golden-winged roc immediately perked up.
"That must be extraordinary."
Kong Xuan said in a deep voice, "What Empress Pingxin bestowed must have a great karmic consequence."
Chen Changsheng said, "I know what I'm doing."
Kong Xuan nodded.
"Then I shall go into seclusion."
"I'll stay outside and oversee things."
Chen Changsheng said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Kong Xuan said, "Come on."
"If you break through to the Quasi-Saint level, then all your efforts will have been worthwhile."
Ao Guang and the others were all shocked when they heard the words "quasi-saint".
Ao Guang couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, are you going into seclusion this time to attempt to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm?"
Chen Changsheng nodded.
"I have that plan."
Ao Qin gasped.
"If you succeed in reaching the level of a Great Luo Immortal, you will truly be among the great powers in the prehistoric world."
Ao Shun said, "With your foundation, once you reach the Quasi-Saint level, your combat power will likely shake the Three Realms."
Ao Run said, "My dragon clan is willing to protect you, fellow Daoist."
Chen Changsheng said, "Thank you."
Kong Xuan looked at the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
"Everyone, get out."
"When he is in seclusion, his vital energy must not be leaked out."
Ao Guang nodded.
"clear."
The Four Dragon Kings withdrew from the meditation room.
The golden-winged roc looked at Chen Changsheng.
"Master, I'll go out and keep watch too."
Chen Changsheng said, "Go."
The Golden-Winged Roc said, "Master, rest assured."
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble, I'll peck them first."
Kong Xuan said calmly, "Don't get pecked yet."
The Golden-Winged Roc was not convinced.
"Brother, I am very strong now too."
Kong Xuan said, "Get out."
The golden-winged roc immediately turned around.
"Okay."
Kong Xuan looked at Chen Changsheng one last time.
"If you cannot suppress your qi during seclusion, immediately transmit your voice."
Chen Changsheng said, "Don't worry."
Kong Xuan said, "The power of the Ancestral Witches is unruly; don't try to force it."
A divine light surged in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
"I know."
Kong Xuan said no more and turned to leave.
The stone gate slowly closed.
In the Zulong Chamber, only Chen Changsheng remained.
He sat cross-legged on the jade platform.
The inner cavern within the body is opened.
Three ancestral witch bones appeared simultaneously.
The fiery bones of Zhurong emitted a crimson glow.
Gonggong's water bones stirred up a cold wave.
Ru Shou's golden bones slashed out the front line.
Chen Changsheng formed hand seals, and the Dao patterns of the Great Dao Incarnation Technique lit up from his body.
The three ancestral witches condensed behind him.
A figure treading on fire.
A statue carrying water.
A golden statue.
Chen Changsheng's gaze darkened.
"Refine the three bones."
"Aiming for Quasi-Saint status."
