Chapter 924: Qingjiao King’s Sister, Descendant of the Azure Dragon!

Half a month later, deep within the myriad fathoms of the sea.

Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor, who was seated on the back of the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale, transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng, who was resting in its stomach chamber: “Master, we have already entered the range of the Forbidden Sea.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, lightly patted his robes, and stepped out of the stomach chamber. He then had Lu Lingjing transform into her human form, and they quickly headed towards the Qingjiao King’s island.

The Forbidden Sea is the territory of the Yao Race, with numerous Demon Kings residing there.

If the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale traveled too quickly here, it might attract an attack from a Demon King.

Although they feared no Demon King below the Late Stage of the Fourth-Order.

However, considering that the Rift Sea Mysterious Dragon Whale was in a semi-wanted state in the Xingxiu Sea, they did not wish to encounter any unexpected troubles, delays, or waste time.

Just like that, another half a month passed, and the three of Lu Changsheng successfully arrived at Qingjiao Island, where the Qingjiao King resided.

The island was about ten miles wide, quite majestic.

Unlike the islands, factions, and immortal cities of the Human Race Cultivators,

apart from the faint Demonic Qi permeating it, it resembled an ownerless island, without any Formation Restrictions protecting it.

However, Lu Changsheng could tell at a glance that this island was a large entrance, connecting to layers of Spiritual Veins, geo-sea rifts, and the boundless sea below.

Within the geo-sea rifts, there should be some kind of Restriction method.

“Qingjiao King, I, Wang, have come to fulfill my promise, repaying a past favor.”

Lu Changsheng did not advance further. He cupped his hands towards the island and shouted, a Nascent Soul pressure emanating from his body.

“Cultivator, a Human Race Cultivator!?”

Although Qingjiao Island belonged to the Qingjiao King, there were still many Yao Beasts and Yao Race members on the island.

Upon sensing Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul aura, their hearts instantly trembled, and they roared uneasily.

However, at this moment, the seawater within a hundred-mile radius of Qingjiao Island suddenly boiled and churned.

A terrifying Demonic Qi rose, as if a Flood Dragon was roaring and howling.

The Yao Beasts and Demon Kings on the island, as well as those in the sea, instantly prostrated themselves, trembling, welcoming their King.

Immediately after, a tall and burly man appeared. He had two ferocious Flood Dragon horns, his cheeks, neck, and arms were covered in green scales, and a thick, long Flood Dragon tail trailed behind him.

His vertical pupils, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, looked at Lu Changsheng with some surprise and astonishment.

Then he grinned and praised, “Human Race Cultivator, you are indeed extraordinary. You possess such profound magical power despite only recently breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.”

Although Lu Changsheng had not fully displayed his magical power and Spiritual Pressure,

as a Yao Race member, the Qingjiao King’s senses were very keen.

He could tell that Lu Changsheng’s magical power and prestige were not comparable to that of an ordinary newly advanced Nascent Soul.

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Lingjing and Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor behind Lu Changsheng.

He recognized Lu Lingjing at a glance as a Fourth-Order Beast King who had recently broken through to the transformation stage.

Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor, operating his innate Divine Ability [Turtle Breath], appeared like an Old Servant, so even the Qingjiao King could not discern his true depth.

However, as a top-tier Demon King, the Qingjiao King instantly realized that Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor was not simple.

At this moment, the Qingjiao King’s regard for Lu Changsheng rose by a level!

Having only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, he already possessed magical power and prestige far exceeding the average.

Furthermore, he had a Fourth-Order Beast King by his side, and an Old Servant whose depth even he couldn’t easily see through. He was by no means an ordinary person.

The Qingjiao King felt no apprehension about this, but rather a sense of joy.

After all, how could an ordinary person have a way to cure his “sister”?

Previously, when he helped Lu Changsheng to gain a favor, it was entirely based on the prophecies of Meng Wuhen and his wife.

Otherwise, a Lu Changsheng who was only in the Golden Core Realm, even with a Fourth-Order Spirit Pet and a Fourth-Order Puppet, would not have been taken seriously by him.

“I, Wang, was delayed by my Breakthrough. Please forgive me, King Jiao.”

Lu Changsheng said, cupping his hands, very politely.

“No matter.”, the Qingjiao King said magnanimously.

For a Fourth-Order Demon King like him, a few years were just a nap.

As long as Lu Changsheng didn’t delay for decades, making him feel deceived, he didn’t care at all.

“May I ask where your sister is and what her current situation is?”

Lu Changsheng sensed the Peach Blossom Gu in his Sea of Consciousness awaken and call out with intense desire, his face twitching slightly as he asked seriously.

Lu Changsheng had no ulterior motives regarding the Qingjiao King’s sister.

He came primarily to repay a favor.

“Follow this King.”

The Qingjiao King’s voice was resonant as he led the three of Lu Changsheng into the island.

As Lu Changsheng had observed earlier, Qingjiao Island was merely an entrance; the true Immortal Cave was in the geo-sea strait beneath the island.

Passing through layers of cracks and tunnels, the group arrived at a massive palace.

The entire palace was constructed from natural abyssal rock walls, with countless Yao Beast bones, sea stones, blood coral, and luminous pearls embedded in the rock seams.

Pale blue Demonic Qi flowed on the walls, connecting with twelve dark pillars in all directions of the palace, forming streaks of mottled Flood Dragon shadows resembling lightning.

Lu Changsheng was astonished when he saw the palace before him.

This palace appeared crude and simple, devoid of any luxurious design.

However, the chaotic stacking of various Materials on the rock walls, along with the Formation Restrictions, were exceptionally intricate, completely unlike a Demon King’s Immortal Cave.

It is known that the Yao Race inherently possesses powerful Physical Bodies and physiques. During their growth, they gradually Awaken Bloodline Legacies and innate Divine Abilities.

Therefore, most of the Yao Race disdain researching Divine Ability Magic Treasures and the myriad arts of Cultivation.

Even Fourth-Order Beast Kings, whose learning abilities are not inferior to those of the Human Race and who have long lifespans, rarely learn or research Magic Treasure refining, palace architecture, Formation Restrictions, and so on.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng was amazed by the Qingjiao King’s construction and Formation levels.

He realized that the Qingjiao King was even more extraordinary than he had imagined.

“Great King!”

“Greetings, Great King.”

Within this palace, there were other Demon Kings.

Among them were even two Fourth-Order Demon Kings, who respectfully bowed to the Qingjiao King, then looked at Lu Changsheng and the others with surprise.

The Qingjiao King was very majestic. He nodded slightly to them and continued to lead the three of Lu Changsheng to the deepest part of the palace.

Here, it was like the deep sea, a gloomy expanse where everything in sight dissipated into nothingness, leaving only Formation Restrictions resembling swirling black shadows.

Looking at the situation before him, Lu Changsheng felt a dangerous aura.

He believed that he would need to use the [Sun Moon Two-Phases Profound Light Mirror] to blast open a rift here.

Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor, seeing the situation, couldn’t help but be surprised and bewildered.

He had naturally heard of and known about the Qingjiao King during his long time in the Forbidden Sea.

But he never expected that the other party’s Immortal Cave would possess such methods.

His figure was hunched, his face unperturbed, like an aging Old Servant, completely unthreatening.

But once the situation changed, he would instantly act, displaying the combat power of a top-tier Demon King!

After entering the palace, Lu Lingjing subconsciously moved closer to her master, feeling a bit afraid.

On one hand, the Qingjiao King before her gave her a dangerous and terrifying feeling.

On the other hand, this palace, with the Yao Beast bones piled around and the Formation Restrictions, gave her an inexplicable sense of danger.

Especially the archway from the rift tunnel to the palace earlier, she vaguely sensed that it was the jawbone of a giant whale.

A token appeared in the Qingjiao King’s hand. The swirling black shadows around them intertwined, countless sources of light bloomed, forming ripples of spatial fluctuations.

Immediately after, on a large concave couch carved from dark blue sea marrow jade, lay a woman silently frozen in ice.

The woman’s body was very tall, almost ten feet high.

Her graceful figure was draped in a blue-purple gown woven from what appeared to be Dragon scales and mermaid silk, perfectly outlining her curvaceous and proud figure.

Her snow-white shoulders and delicate collarbones were exposed. Her two arms, seemingly slender and elegant, yet full of power, were covered in a layer of translucent blue-purple Dragon scales, like sleeves, and rested quietly on her flat stomach.

Her legs were very long, but unlike the fair and plump, fleshy legs of most female Cultivators, they were covered in a layer of dark blue and moon-white Dragon scales.

Her feet were also different from those of the Human Race, resembling Dragon claws, adorned with dark silver chains, and her toes glowed with a blue-purple luster, giving her an indescribably enchanting beauty.

The woman’s face was like a cold moon covered in frost, her eyes tightly closed, her lips dark red, and through the slightly parted gap, she continuously exhaled breaths carrying icy, clear radiance.

Two long, spiral coral Dragon horns on her forehead glowed with the deep blue luster of deep-sea pearls.

Her blue-purple hair, like jellyfish, naturally flowed behind her, crystal clear.

“This is the Qingjiao King’s sister?”

Lu Changsheng looked at the woman on the jade couch, couldn’t help but be stunned, and glanced at the Qingjiao King, whose face was ferocious and covered in scales, thinking to himself, are these two siblings?

They don’t look alike at all!

Not to mention their appearance and looks.

Even their scales and Dragon horns were different.

They clearly belonged to different Bloodline types of Flood Dragons!

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!” The Peach Blossom Gu, which had already awakened in his Sea of Consciousness, frantically called out to Lu Changsheng at this moment.

It indicated that he must seize this opportunity well; if he formed a connection, he could gain a massive amount of peach blossom luck.

“Fellow Daoist Wang, this is my little sister.”

The Qingjiao King said to Lu Changsheng, without introducing his sister’s condition.

If the other party couldn’t even discern his sister’s condition, then how could he talk about curing her?

At this instant, Lu Changsheng’s Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Soul keenly perceived that when the Qingjiao King looked at this “sister,” he seemed to carry a hint of reverence.

At the same time, Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor transmitted a message to Lu Changsheng: “Master, this woman is definitely not the Qingjiao King’s sister; she is very likely a descendant of the Azure Dragon!”

Lu Changsheng merely felt that the Qingjiao King and the frozen woman didn’t resemble each other, and their Bloodline types were different.

As a member of the Yao Race, Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor instantly sensed a Bloodline aura from the woman that was no less powerful than his own.

This level of Bloodline was completely incomparable to a Low Rank True Spirit like the Qingjiao King!

“A descendant of the Azure Dragon?” Lu Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged.

“The strongest force in the East Sea Cultivation World, the [Dragon Palace], was established by the Azure Dragon clan!”

“According to my Bloodline memories and the records in the [Imperial Sea Mountain] ancient texts, the appearance of this woman’s Dragon horns resembles those of the Azure Dragon clan.”

Turtle Immortal Old Ancestor explained to Lu Changsheng.

Although he had already arrived in the Xingxiu Sea when he hatched,

he still knew quite a bit about the East Sea Cultivation World, relying on the Yao Beast Bloodline memories and the Imperial Sea Mountain’s Legacy texts.

It’s just that many pieces of information were only partially understood, making it impossible to fully confirm them.

“Dragon Palace, Azure Dragon clan…”

Lu Changsheng murmured in his heart, not expecting this woman to have such a prominent background.

He cast the Divine Ability Fire Eyes Golden Eyes and extended his Divine Sense to observe the woman’s condition.

In just a moment, he understood what was wrong with this woman.

The other party was not in a coma or deep sleep.

Instead, she was desperately suppressing the uncontrolled and violent power within her body.

This power was terrifying, causing her to be in an imbalanced state.

Besides that, she seemed to be poisoned.

The toxins缠绕着 her Physical Body and Divine Soul, causing her to be in a semi-conscious, semi-sleeping state.

“Qingjiao King, was your sister poisoned or cursed by someone?”

Lu Changsheng mused.

“Since Fellow Daoist Wang can discern my sister’s condition, do you have a way to cure her?”

The Qingjiao King, seeing that Lu Changsheng had so quickly discerned his master’s condition, immediately grinned and asked.

“I need to further examine your sister’s condition before I can know.”, Lu Changsheng said.

He was able to discern the frozen woman’s condition so quickly entirely due to his Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Soul.

For the specific details, he would need to break through the ice and thoroughly examine her body.

“Good.”

If Lu Changsheng were just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, unable to even discern his “sister’s” condition, then the Qingjiao King would not have agreed to let Lu Changsheng further examine her condition.

But now, Lu Changsheng had already demonstrated his capabilities, making him worthy of trust.

The Qingjiao King cast a Divine Ability, melting the ice crystals on the woman’s body.

In an instant, a scorching, overbearing aura, filled with destruction and ruin, surged from the woman’s body.

It was evident that the previous ice seal was helping the woman suppress this scorching and overbearing power.

“What an overbearing power. What is this woman’s strength? Despite being severely poisoned, she can still endure and suppress such an overbearing power?”

Lu Changsheng was astonished, realizing that this woman’s strength would not be weaker than his own, or the Qingjiao King’s.

He took a deep breath, his Qi and blood rumbling. His Fourth-Order Middle Stage physique fully recovered, then his muscles glowed brightly. With a solemn expression, he stepped forward to examine the woman’s condition.

“Hmm?” The Qingjiao King looked at Lu Changsheng’s Qi and blood physique, and a look of surprise appeared on his ferocious face covered in green scales.

This Human Race Cultivator actually possessed a physique comparable to a Fourth-Order Middle Stage Demon King?

Although the Human Race possessed Body Refining techniques,

no matter how much a Cultivator refined their body, they could hardly compare to Demon Kings like them.

Moreover, wasn’t Lu Changsheng only recently broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?

How did his physique reach such a level?

For a moment, the Qingjiao King became increasingly curious about Lu Changsheng’s situation.

He watched Lu Changsheng with a solemn expression, waiting for him to further investigate his master’s condition.

With Lu Changsheng’s abnormal performance, his anticipation for Lu Changsheng curing his master grew stronger.

Relying on his Fourth-Order Middle Stage physique, Lu Changsheng disregarded the scorching and overbearing aura emanating from the woman’s body. He placed a finger on her wrist to examine the chaotic power and severe poison within her body.

Instantly, he felt a surge of toxins spread from her body to his finger.

Possessing a Fourth-Order Middle Stage physique and cultivating the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique and Vatican Devil True Saint Art, Lu Changsheng already had extremely high poison resistance.

And his Chaos Body, furthermore, incorporated the top-tier poison body [Eradication Poison Body], meaning he was essentially immune to all poisons.

Yet, this severe poison was actually able to have some effect on him.

High Grade Fourth-Order severe poison!

Lu Changsheng realized that this severe poison had already surpassed Low Grade and Medium Grade Fourth-Order, reaching a Rank that could threaten a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator!

Only this Rank of severe poison could affect him!

The Chaos Body operated, suppressing the spreading toxins.

After several breaths, Lu Changsheng withdrew his finger and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, now clearly understanding the woman’s problem.

Looking at the tall, ferocious-faced Qingjiao King, he said, “Qingjiao King, I already know your sister’s condition, and I have a general solution.”

“Oh?”

The Qingjiao King didn’t expect Lu Changsheng to identify the problem and offer a solution so quickly. He immediately looked at him with a joyful expression.

However, his ferocious and fierce eyes and face gave off an unparalleled sense of oppression.

Especially when he smiled, the corners of his mouth split open, revealing sharp, interlocking fangs.

“Your sister’s condition is that she is afflicted by severe poison, and there is a power within her body that she cannot control, constantly raging.”

“The solution is simple: first, detoxify her, then either remove or control this uncontrollable power.”

Lu Changsheng paused, then continued, “Regarding the severe poison, although I can solve it, this poison affects not only the body but also the Soul, so it is very troublesome to resolve.”

Possessing the poison-immune Chaos Body and the Wan E Du Ling Secret Canon, even if the toxins in the woman’s body reached the Late Stage of the Fourth-Order, Lu Changsheng could still resolve them.

However, while the toxins in the Physical Body were easy to resolve, those in the Divine Soul were not.

It required the other party to open up her Divine Soul.

Not to mention whether the other party would be willing.

During the Divine Soul detoxification process, if there was even a slight error, leading to a disturbance in the Divine Soul consciousness, and the power within the woman’s body went out of control, it would be extremely troublesome.

Although Old Ancestor Lu could help bear and share the other party’s power while detoxifying,

this kind of detoxification method, like Hua Tuo telling Cao Cao that treating his headache required a craniotomy, the Qingjiao King would probably immediately turn hostile and attack upon hearing it.

After all, from the Qingjiao King’s subtle expressions, it was clear that the woman before him was by no means his “sister.”
