Chapter 36: The Son of the Dragon Overlord (Part 1) (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  Shen Gong Bao galloped away, gazing at the Xian Island of Yingzhou. Earlier, he had chatted with a few people on Sanxian Island, discussing the Tao, and then bid farewell to them, leaving behind his own island's address before returning to the Xian Island of Yingzhou.

  Not yet approaching the Penglai Fairy Island, Shen Gong Bao had already sensed that thousands of miles away from his own fairy island, the surface of the sea was rolling and surging, as if many aquatic creatures were inside, turning over and making a big commotion.

  Suddenly, the sound of thunderous roars filled the air, with voices full of indignation and some laughter. Shen Gong's divine consciousness expanded, curiously looking over, only to see a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals surrounding the base of a massive island, with a person at the center wearing a magnificent dragon robe, with two dragon horns on his forehead, and a faint aura of dragon power emanating from his body, his identity self-evident, undoubtedly a member of the sea dragon tribe.

  Shen Gong Bao entered the Xian Island of Yingzhou and saw Liu Er and Nian Ling Yan gathered together discussing something. Seeing Shen Gong Bao return, they hastily stood up and came forward respectfully saying: "Master, you're back!"

  "Long live the master!"

  "Free of charge!" said Sheng Gong Bao lightly. "Liu Er, do you know what that group of aquatic tribe is doing not far from here?"

  "Master, I overheard them saying that beneath the massive island lies a dragon prince, specifically Ba Xia, one of the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon!"

  "What's going on?" Duke Sheng Ba was shocked and puzzled, his face full of doubt.

  But it is said that the dragon clan is born with a good lust, and many creatures between heaven and earth **, giving birth to many species, all of which have the blood of the dragon clan, collectively referred to as the dragon clan. There are snake-like, turtle-like and other forms, but among them, the first ancestor of the dragon clan born in heaven and earth - the ancestral dragon gave birth to nine sons, with different shapes and personalities.

  The first is the Jiaotu, which is the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon and loves music.

  One is called Jiaozi, ranked second in line, born with a fondness for fighting and killing, naturally having a small heart and eyes, loving to bear grudges.

  One is called Chao Feng, ranked third in seniority, with a beast-like appearance; he has always been fond of taking risks and having high aspirations.

  One is called Pu Lao, ranking fourth in sequence, shaped like a curled dragon, fond of roaring and bellowing.

  One is called Xi Wang, ranked fifth in sequence, resembling a lion, naturally likes quiet and dislikes movement, fond of sitting, also enjoys smoke and fire.

  One is called Ba Xia, ranked sixth in the row, resembling a turtle, born with a fondness for carrying heavy loads, with boundless strength.

  One is called Bi Hu, ranked seventh in age, resembling a tiger, fond of litigation, yet having authority.

  One is called Fu Dou, ranked eighth among the Eight Trigrams, resembling a dragon shape, fond of literature in his lifetime.

  One is called a tortoise mouth, ranked ninth in age, walking like a fish, with a wide and rough mouth, fond of swallowing things throughout his life.

  Because the nine sons of the dragon are not in a dragon shape, they were abandoned by their ancestors after birth and discarded outside the dragon clan. From then on, they wandered the vast wilderness, and the nine sons had different personalities, never appearing together. Now, I didn't expect to meet one of the nine sons, Bà Xià.

  Recalling the information related to Ba Xia in my mind, I found that the last time Ba Xia appeared was during the period of Da Yu's water control. At that time, Ba Xia often carried three mountains and five peaks, stirring up winds and waves in rivers, lakes and seas.

  Later, when Da Yu controlled the flood, it was subdued and followed his command to push mountains and dig canals, dredging rivers and making contributions to flood control. After the flood was brought under control, Da Yu worried that Ba would run wild again, so he moved a giant stone monument that reached the sky and stood on the ground, engraved with the achievements of Ba's flood control, and called Ba to carry it. The heavy stone monument pressed down on it, making it unable to move freely.

  People only know that the tyrant was pressed under the stone tablet, but they don't know that he was actually pressed under the East Sea. It seems that over time, the stone tablet has become a huge island.

  The nine sons of the dragon are not recognized by the dragon clan. Thinking back to the young man in the dragon robe, Shen Gongbao understood that he must have known that Ba Xia was being suppressed here and came to mock him. Poor Ba Xia was being pressed under the stone tablet, unable to resist, and could only let out waves of angry roars.

  Shen Gong Bao furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment. The tyrant who had been oppressed for so long had not yet escaped the sea of suffering, and now that he had been discovered by the dragon tribe, it was inevitable that they would come to tease him again in the future. Originally, all this had nothing to do with Shen Gong Bao, but the place was only a few thousand miles away from Yingzhou Xian Island, which would indeed disturb his own cultivation and that of others.

  Moreover, Shen Gong Bao didn't want too many people to pay attention to this immortal island, so he thought of going out to see if there was a good strategy to solve this matter.

  Shen Gongbao said: "Liu Er, listen for a moment and see if you can tell what identity the leader of that group has."

  "Master, that person is Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon Clan!"

  "Is that the Third Prince of the East Sea Dragon King, Ao Bing?" Minister Shen's face turned strange as he muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but think of the poor devil who was later skinned alive by Nezha.

  Shen Gong Bao nodded and said, "Wait for me to go out and take a look!"

  "Master, can we go and take a look too?" Liu Er's face lit up with excitement, and Yan Lingyan beside him was the same. The two of them had been staying on the Xuanzhou Immortal Island for a long time, although the environment was beautiful like a fairyland, but both of them were fond of fighting and adventure, this kind of dull life was not what they wanted. Now that there's excitement to be seen, why wouldn't they go? If it weren't for Shen Gongbao's previous warning that no one was allowed to leave the island without permission, the two would have gone to join in on the fun long ago.

  Shen Gong Bao smiled and said: "Alright, let's go together!"

  Having said that, he mounted on top of Nian Lingyan's body, and together with Liu Er, they left the Xuanzhou Immortal Island, heading towards Ao Bing's place.

  "Who comes here? Report your name!" Before several people approached, a shout came from afar, the voice of a patrolling Night Yaksha.

  Xuēn Gōng Bào stopped Liù ěr from speaking, and only after approaching did he say: "I am Xuēn Gōng Bào, a disciple of the Primordial Heaven Lord of the Expounding Teachings Sect. I don't know what Your Highness, the Third Prince, is doing here?"

  Shen Gong Bao concentrated his mind and looked away, only to see Ao Bing's face change from arrogance to a smile after hearing that Shen Gong Bao was the legitimate disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. "So you're a fellow practitioner under the saint, I'm Ao Bing, nice to meet you."

  "The prince is polite!" said Shen Gongbao, bowing in return.

  Ao Bing didn't suspect that Shen Gongbiao would tell lies. Who dares to impersonate a disciple of the Holy One? The power of the Holy One is boundless, and as soon as you mention his name, he can sense it. If what you say is false, he will not let you off easily, and forming evil karma with the Holy One is probably the greatest sorrow for all cultivators.

  After the initial calamity of the Dragon and Phoenix, the dragon clan's talents dwindled, and they could no longer stand firm on the vast expanse of the Desolate Lands. They all relocated to the Four Seas, relying on the residual prestige of the dragon clan to control the aquatic tribes of the Four Seas, dominating them, and far away from the turmoil of the Desolate Continent, living a carefree and leisurely life.

  Nowadays, the highest cultivation among the dragon clan is the four Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, all of whom are high-ranking Dharma Golden Immortals. The rest are all lower-level cultivators, far inferior to the heyday of the Dharma Golden Immortals in the past.

  Even in its heyday, the Dragon Clan would show great respect to the descendants of saints. How could Ao Peng dare to show off in front of Shen Gongbao? He quickly put away his arrogance and greeted him with a smile.

  "Fellow Daoist, this is the Overlord, he's a discarded member of my dragon clan. Although his seniority is high, he's not recognized by my dragon clan. Coincidentally, Xun Hai Ye discovered him recently, that's why I'm here." Ao Bing was embarrassed and didn't continue speaking.

  Shen Gong Bao saw this, but didn't expose it. He lightly smiled and said: "So that's how it is. However, since this place is very close to my Taoist temple, you people making a ruckus here is disturbing my quiet cultivation. That's why I came to take a look."

  "Please be at ease, fellow Taoist," Ao Bing hastily said. "I'll leave right away. This place has already been abandoned by the Dragon Clan, so let it fend for itself. Moreover, he's being suppressed under the stone stele by Yu Wang and has been sealed with a restriction. Unless there's a powerful Golden Immortal cultivator of the Great Luo Deity Sect, no one can release him."

  "Thank you so much, Your Highness! If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to visit and thank you again!"

  "Haha, no need to be polite, Fellow Taoist and I are neighbors in the East Sea Dragon Palace, we should get along well. If you have time, please come visit often, my father and I will personally receive you!" Ao Bing was overjoyed, now that the dragon tribe is showing its might, being able to establish a good relationship with a disciple of a saint is also a great fortune.

  "Good! I will definitely visit you another day!"

  "So, I'll take my leave now!" Ao Bing said, and then led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals towards the East Sea Dragon Palace.

  After Shen Gong Bao waited for Ao Bing to leave, he parted the sea water and walked close to the bottom of the island, taking a look at the famous Dragon's Son - Ba Xia!
