Chapter 38: Yu's Lingering Soul (1) (Seeking Recommendations)

  "Hmm... Just look above my inverted scales and you'll know!" Ba Xian said hesitantly after a while.

  Shen Gong's eyes flashed with a strange color, and although the tortoise-like creature below looked like a black turtle, it was undoubtedly a true dragon, as evidenced by the presence of reverse scales on its neck.

  The reverse scales of the dragon, whoever touches them will die!

  Never has anyone been able to approach and touch a dragon's inverted scales, unless the dragon is dead. For even though the inverted scales are the weakest part of the dragon's body, whoever approaches them will be fiercely killed by the dragon.

  Ba Xia let himself go and went to the place where his scales were reversed, Shen Gong Bao said: "Really let me go to the place where your scales are reversed?"

  Ba Xia heard a muffled voice say: "Ba Xia knows that Dao Zhang is an immortal who has attained the Tao and is a good person!"

  Shen Gong Bao was stunned, and after a while, he chuckled. Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan exchanged a glance, also feeling speechless for a moment. After a long time, they silently conveyed their thoughts with their eyes, thinking to themselves: "Yes, what a good person! What a great good person!"

  Shen Gong Bao saw this, directly ignoring the unusual expressions of Liu Er and others, and flew up to the top of Ba Xia's dragon head, close to where the inverted scales were. At first, Ba Xia still instinctively wanted to shake his head, but fortunately he quickly calmed down, and the dragon head landed on the ground, no longer moving, allowing Shen Gong Bao to perform at the inverted scales.

  The body of the tyrant is enormous, with a length of several hundred feet, like a giant turtle being pressed down by stone monuments. Over time, the stone monument has formed a huge island, and the tyrant's entire body is surrounded by thick layers of rock, unable to move, and has been sleeping for years.

  But just before, Ao Bing and others came to disturb, which awakened the dormant Ba Xia. Ba Xia also shook off many rocks near Long Shou in the previous shake, and its inverted scales were also exposed.

  The reverse scales are easy to recognize, because only this piece of dragon scales is growing upside down. Shen Gong Bao floated above the inverted scales, his consciousness carefully explored, and after a moment, Shen Gong Bao's gaze condensed on a coral reef not far from the inverted scales.

  The reverse scale is the weakest part of the tyrant, so before he made a fierce swing, he carefully protected this place, and the rocks here did not fall off, but only slipped away. This place was not affected by the previous movement, and it was still a calm and peaceful underwater world.

  The light shield formed by the Water-Repelling Seal surrounded him, allowing him to breathe freely in the deep sea. The interior of the ocean was quiet and serene, with clear sunlight visible in the dark blue water, and the columns of light were beautiful, casting a colorful glow.

  This coral reef seems ordinary at first glance, but when Shen Gong Bao takes a closer look, he discovers the subtlety of it. The other seas may appear calm on the surface, but there are always undercurrents flowing beneath, whereas this place is not only calm on the surface like a mirror, but also has no turbulent flow inside, isn't that quite strange?

  This coral reef is extremely large, with a length and width of several zhang, and the coral grass on it is exceptionally lush. Many unknown fish species swim in search of food, creating a colorful world.

  Of course, Shen Gong Bao was not attracted by the beautiful scene in front of him, but he suddenly discovered that the spiritual energy here was extremely dense, which is why the coral grass grew so lushly.

  Shen Gong Bao's eyes gleamed with an eerie smile as he said, "Finally found you! Let me see your true face, Lushan!"

  Having said that, Shen Gong Bao walked towards the coral reef in the direction of the inverted scales. As he approached, he didn't see him make any movements, and his entire body suddenly disappeared like a shadow, vanishing in front of the coral reef.

  Shen Gong Bao looked around and found himself in a strange space of about three feet square, where the spiritual energy was as dense as that of Kunlun Mountain Qilin Cliff, or even half a degree denser.

  When Dài Shēn Gōng saw the object in mid-air, he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Unintentionally planting a willow tree and it grows into shade! What a wonderful gain without any effort!"

  Why did you say that? Only to see a giant iron rod standing upright, shining with golden light, flapping the heart of Shen Gongbao, and clearly written on the iron rod was "Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod, weighing 13,500 catties" which was exactly the Dinghai Divine Needle - Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod that Shen Gongbao had been searching for a long time but couldn't find.

  But see the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod, with a golden hoop at each end, in a golden yellow color, and a red segment in the middle, standing upright, mapping the entire space with a brilliant light, auspicious energy soaring.

  Shen Gong Bao was so excited that he almost danced with joy, never expecting to actually find this divine weapon. Although its power can be inferred from the brief records of later generations, it is the weapon that Sun Wukong used to battle heaven and earth - how could it be ordinary?

  And this divine weapon emits auspicious energy in all directions, without any evil aura, apparently absorbing the heavenly merit of Da Yu's water control, becoming a treasure of great merit, it must be an excellent object that kills people without causing karma.

  With difficulty controlling the excitement in his heart, Shen Gongbao involuntarily shifted his gaze to two things beside the Ruyi Jingu Bang: one was a giant axe with a black handle and body, its aura subdued, looking like an ordinary object. Yet, something that could be placed alongside the Ruyi Jingu Bang couldn't possibly be an ordinary item. Shen Gongbao suddenly recalled another of Yu's water-controlling tools - the Kaiming Axe!

  The legendary axe of Yu the Great was said to be forged from the heavenly metal, and accompanied him as he split open rocks and led the rivers back to their sources, bringing order to the chaotic waters and blessings to heaven and earth.

  Shen Gong Bao's face changed, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. If Shen Gong Bao remembered correctly, the giant axe Yang Jian used to split Peach Mountain seemed to be an opening mountain axe.

  "Could it be that there is a will of heaven in the midst of all this?" Sheng Gong Bao muttered to himself.

  Shaking off the annoyance and confusion in his heart, Shen Gongbao turned his gaze to the last object, a bronze tripod with two ears.

  This tripod stood quietly on a stone platform, residing in the middle, while the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod and the Mountain-Opening Axe stood silently at both ends, as if guarding this tripod, making Shen Gongbao involuntarily surprised, wondering what was so extraordinary about this tripod.

  Looking at this display, it's clear that this tripod is more precious than the Ruyi Jingu Bang, but in Shen Gongbao's memory, there seems to be no news of this tripod.

  "Is this tripod also a vessel of Da Yu?" thought Shen Gongbao to himself, "But didn't Da Yu only cast nine tripods to stabilize the energy of the nine provinces and protect the land of the nine provinces?"

  Only the bronze tripod stood on the stone platform, emitting a faint halo, which was very soft and had no grandeur at all. Compared to the auspicious colors of the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod, it was much more subdued, and compared to the introverted Open Mountain Axe, it seemed somewhat more noble. Taking the middle path, not biased or leaning, it was truly extraordinary.

  On the bronze tripod, auspicious beasts and birds were engraved. Three legs stood on heaven and earth, most stable. Two ears took the meaning of embracing yin and yang. The more I observed, the more extraordinary it felt. Shen Gong Bao had a kind of intuition that this tripod must be an extraordinary spiritual treasure, perhaps even a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure.

  At this point, Shen Gong Bao could no longer resist the temptation of the treasure in front of him. He first walked to the front of the Kuai Shan axe, stretched out his hand and lifted it, but immediately grinned wryly and put it down, as it was too heavy. It weighed several thousand catties. Thinking of the weight of the Ruyi Jin Gun rod, Shen Gong Bao couldn't help but wonder: "Could Da Yu be a born strongman, able to lift tens of thousands of catties?"

  Without mentioning the doubts in his heart, Shen Gong Bao thought for a moment before deciding to slowly refine the treasure. Only then could he take it away. However, before that, Shen Gong Bao went out once and told Liu Er that he had discovered something and gained some insight, needing a period of time to retreat and meditate, asking them to guard him well on the side.

  Thus, Shen Gong Bao began to refine the object and had the experience of refining the two instruments of the Clear and Clean Lamp. With some familiarity, he spent about a month before finally refining the Mountain-Opening Axe and incorporating it into his body.

  Then, Shen Gong Bao continued to meditate for several days, and after his magical powers recovered, he began to refine the Ruyi Jingu Bang. This time it took even longer, more than three months, before he finally refined the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

  Sun Wukong thought of the rumors in later generations, and his curiosity was greatly aroused. After experimenting with it, he found that the compliant golden hoop rod could not only change its thickness, but also transform into other objects, which was incredibly magical.

  After putting the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod into his body, Shen Gong Bao shifted his gaze to the last magical bronze cauldron, and as long as he refined it, this action would be perfectly completed.
