Chapter 686: Taibai Jinxing Suppresses the Dragon

An hour ago, everywhere in the Heavenly Courts.

“The dragon race is causing trouble in Chentang Pass! Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, hurry to the Heavenly Might Divine Pillar and await orders to descend to the mortal world.”

The dragons at Chentang Pass are causing trouble?

Youqin Xuanya was clearly stunned when she received the news.

In her impression, the dragon race was rich in the four seas. They were a huge race from the ancient times and were also loyal supporters of the Heavenly Courts. Why did they suddenly cause trouble in Chentang Pass?

However, Youqin Xuanya did not hesitate. At that moment, she had already successfully transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation. She was already considered an absolute backbone in the Heavenly Courts. Due to that, every time she appeared, she would attract the attention of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

The increase in morale was instantly maxed out.

Carrying the Fire Scale Sword Case that Senior Brother Changshou had already taken to the Tushita Palace to refine twice, Youqin Xuanya nodded slightly at the Heavenly Generals who often worked with her and stood in front of the Divine Might Pillar.

On the pillar, a bronze mirror that was five feet in diameter flickered gently. The Chentang Pass appeared inside.

Youqin Xuanya frowned…

The flood flooded Chentang Pass and turned the Pool Kingdom into a thousand kilometers.

Mortals hid on the hills, and fear and uneasiness spread everywhere.

As the azure dragons lingered in the sky, the dragon-headed elders kept attacking and attacking the figures in Chentang Pass.

Youqin Xuanya had been in the Heavenly Courts for a long time. She only recognized the exhausted young man and her senior brother’s foster son…

Although Youqin Xuanya could not understand why her senior brother would take in an uncle as his foster son at such a young age, Li Jing was not as old as her senior brother. It was understandable that he looked old.

Moreover, Li Jing was from the Immortal Du Sect and could be considered his junior…

Youqin Xuanya looked a little angry. At that moment, she looked at the bronze mirror and began to get angry.

Suddenly, he heard a shout.

“The landing point of the Divine Might Heavenly Pillar has been decided. All tribes, descend quickly. Lord Taibai Jinxing has ordered the formation of the Heavenly Net Array! If there are any dragons charging the array, kill them without mercy!”

Above the sea of clouds in the Heavenly Courts, the heavenly pillars flickered. Layers of talismans surrounded them, and rich Heavenly Dao power kept surging.

Golden light bloomed. The light tore through the layers of clouds and descended into the mortal world.

Youqin Xuanya and the Heavenly Generals beside her stepped forward at the same time. They spread their hands and jumped!

They descended.

…

The gods of the eight tribes, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the twelve tribes, the power of the Heavenly Dao descended, and the Heavenly Net Array battle formation.

Before the dragon race could react, they had already fallen into the encirclement of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. The Heavenly Soldiers formed a “net” with hundreds of people as the foundation. With their immortal powers connected and the power of the Heavenly Dao, they displayed strength that far exceeded their cultivation level.

Since the development of the Heavenly Courts’ battle formation, it was already the sign of the Heavenly Courts and the confidence of the Heavenly Courts.

When Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk, water azure dragons appeared in the East Ocean to seal the dragon race’s retreat. The hundreds of dragon-headed elders, hundreds of dragon race generals, and countless prawn soldiers, crab generals, and immortal flood dragon soldiers all felt immense pressure.

It was a huge pressure that the heavens were about to give them.

Li Changshou sat on the clouds and looked down at the Dragon Kings of the four seas. He calmly asked the dragon race who said that Li Jing was guilty.

The dragons below did not dare to answer. The dragons returned to the dark clouds and revealed their main bodies. Although they felt endless pressure when facing the Heavenly Courts, they were already prepared for a huge battle.

The Dragon Kings of the four seas maintained their human bodies and dragon heads. They rode a cloud and slowly flew up.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean looked up at the benevolent old man that Li Changshou had disguised as and said calmly, “Is Lord Taibai Jinxing going to protect Li Jing today?”

“Protect?”

Li Changshou chuckled and replied, “I’ll ask again. Who was the one who said that he wanted to convict my godson?”

The dragon race fell silent. Many dragons looked up and glared at Li Changshou. Their mane exploded.

The Dragon Kings of the four seas flew up dozens of feet. The South Ocean Dragon King sighed and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, you are so unscrupulous as to decide on official matters based on personal feelings. Isn’t that unfair to the Heavenly Dao?”

Li Changshou raised his voice.

“Then is it fair for you to flood Chentang Pass and destroy thousands of kilometers of land? If I had not reminded the people at Chentang Pass previously that hundreds of thousands of mortals inside and outside Chentang Pass were hiding on the high ground of the forest, your dragon race would have declared war on the human race today. At that time, many tried to explain that they were innocent, but the other living beings did not care about their lives. Whenever they wanted to bully the human race, they would say that the strong are respected. At that moment, the Heavenly Courts had descended. 99% of the people present were from the human race. They said that the Heavenly Dao was unfair. Are you really not ashamed?”

The leader of the dragons said, “Everyone in the Primordial World knows about the defense of Lord Taibai Jinxing. We are naturally not his match.

May I ask, Lord Taibai Jinxing, how do you plan to deal with us today?”

Li Changshou was silent, and so was everyone.

At that moment, the immortals of Chan School rushed over and lined up outside Chentang Pass. A crack appeared in the Heavenly Courts’ battle formation and they flew in.

Guang Chengzi’s face was livid. He looked at Li Changshou and gestured to stop the immortals from fighting.

“Heavenly Courts, dragon race, please give Chan School an explanation.”

“Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, calm down.”

Li Changshou said slowly, “Today’s matter arose from the conflict between Li Jing’s three sons, Nezha, the third-generation disciple of Chan School and the Third Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. The dragon race was dissatisfied and violated the heavenly rules. They were originally the gods of clouds and rain, but now, they had flooded Chentang Pass and threatened the lives of hundreds of thousands of mortals. The Heavenly Courts will deal with this matter first.”

However, Guang Chengzi said, “Teacher has a decree. Those who want to kill the disciples of Chan School should be killed.”

Li Changshou asked, “Where is Second Uncle-Master’s decree?”

“Here!”

Chi Jingzi shouted softly and took out a golden scroll from his sleeve. A few obscure Dao runes floated out of the scroll and condensed into the image of a Daoist standing with his hands behind his back.

He was naturally the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

On the dragon race’s side, most of the dragons were already panicking.

If the pressure from the Heavenly Courts could be resisted, the Saint’s decree would descend, and Chan School would pretend to leave all the dragons there. Isn’t that…

Just Li Jing and Nezha are going to let so many experts of the dragon race die here?

Li Changshou frowned slightly.

Is Chan School a little too forceful?

The Saint had even invited the decree.

Today, suppressing the dragon race’s increasing mentality was the “basic goal”. If he could not place the hatred of the dragon race on the Heavenly Courts, his arrangements this time could only be considered half the credit.

That was not the end.

Suddenly, he heard a chuckle from the East Ocean. Under the water dragons that Li Changshou had condensed with his divine power, a cloud circulated and four figures appeared.

The person in the lead was wearing a golden dress and a golden hairpin. She held a sword that was shining with golden light in her hand. She was naturally the Goddess of Golden Spirit.

The person who laughed was beside the Goddess of Golden Spirit. He was Zhao Gongming, who was dressed in armor and had a smile on his face.

Behind Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao brought Qiong Xiao over leisurely. There were faint clouds surrounding her. As soon as she appeared, she attracted countless gazes.

Fairy Yun Xiao was dressed in a simple Flowing Cloud white dress. There was a jade girdle around her waist which accentuated her slender figure. However, it did not make her look sultry and instead, she looked like a natural beauty.

Four of the eight disciples of Jie School had arrived. They appeared above the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

There were twenty-four stars shining faintly around Zhao Gongming. He felt like the universe was revolving around him. It was becoming more and more unfathomable.

The path of retreat for the dragon race and the nearest reinforcements was completely blocked by the four of them.

The Goddess of Golden Spirit was good at battling. She set the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl to suppress the sea. Fairy Yun Xiao’s Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice was extraordinary. The Golden Flood Dragon Scissors hanging on Qiong Xiao’s waist happened to be the nemesis of the dragon race.

The dragon race’s already difficult situation worsened.

Zhao Gongming shouted, “Li Jing, don’t be afraid. If you have any grievances, just vent them. If you have any concerns about unfairness, just raise them. If it’s not convenient for the Heavenly Courts, just let me make the decision! I don’t have so many worries. I’ll fight anyone who has objections. If I cannot win, I will lie down and call for help. Changgeng, I’m your brother.”

Fairy Yun Xiao shook her head slightly. She was a little dissatisfied with her brother’s frivolous style. She firmly took out a palm-sized jade statue from her sleeve and urged it to return to its normal size before standing behind her.

The palm of the jade statue was facing the Dragon Kings of the four seas. The restrictions that were absorbing spiritual energy were ready.

A hundred-fold spiritual energy crossbow was ready!

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Then, he would take advantage of the situation.

“Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of Chan School and Jie School, please bear with the actions of the Heavenly Courts. If the Heavenly Courts need to borrow the power of the two sects, they will not be polite to you. Today, the Heavenly Courts will give the human race and Chan School a suitable explanation. Dragon Kings of the four seas, do you still have any excuses?”

Many gazes gathered on the four dragon-headed elders.

The West Ocean Dragon King sighed and took half a step forward.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing! Previously, the West Ocean Dragon Palace suffered a calamity. It was Lord Taibai Jinxing who saved my life. Previously, the Sea Eye of the East Ocean had been destroyed by the Star Lord. The Jade Emperor had abandoned the Golden Body of Merit and saved the dragon race. When the dragon race was forced by the Western Sect, they did not have much luck. It was also supported by Lord Taibai Jinxing and led the Heavenly Courts’ luck to protect the dragon race, allowing the dragon race to have the momentum to prosper today. Did the dragon race cross the line? Will the revival of the dragon race endanger the human race? If the Heavenly Courts wanted to stop us, why didn’t they give the order to stop us when we were in the East Ocean? Why did they wait until now?

As long as you appear in the East Ocean, how can we not retreat?”

Li Changshou said calmly, “Did the dragon race get bewitched by others today?”

The West Ocean Dragon King was silent.

Li Changshou continued to ask, “Today, the dragon race wants to kill Li Jing and Nezha. Who instigated the dragon race?”

The Dragon Kings of the four seas were silent.

Li Changshou’s voice spread throughout the world and entered the ears of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

“The tribulation today is only because of the dragon race. It stemmed from the dragon race’s indignation and pride. You chose this path, yet you still have to blame others for cutting off your retreat. These words are unreasonable and laughable. Do you think that Ao Bing’s death is reasonable? Do you need me to reenact the situation that happened that day here?

You think that you can regain your lost pride by killing Li Jing and his son because you are the pillars of the ancient race and the Heavenly Courts.

How laughable!

What’s the difference between your actions today and the Western Sect’s Sea-Splitting Eyes!?!

At the end of the ancient times, the dragon race was the totem of the human race. The character of the dragon race is widely spread among the human race. Now, you have forgotten the guilt that you should have felt when you shattered the Primordial World. You have forgotten the determination of the ancestors of the dragon race when they eternally suppressed the Sea Eye!

He is greedy, frivolous, and does whatever he wants in this world. He looked down on everything and ignored justice!

What’s the use of such a dragon!?!

I have personally pushed you to your current position. Today, I will personally make you respect me again!

The living beings in this world should coexist!

There should not be any power above the ground!

The principles of the Heavenly Courts ”

Li Changshou raised the horsetail whisk in his hand, and resplendent starlight shone everywhere in the Heavenly Cycle. The twelve Heavenly Soldiers shouted in unison. As the universe trembled, the weapons in the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals’ hands connected and turned into an inescapable net that completely sealed the world.

Then, Li Changshou slowly stood up. His beard and hair fluttered in the wind as he slowly descended.

The experts of the dragon race wanted to say something but hesitated. The four Sea Dragon Kings sighed and remained silent.

The clouds around Li Changshou dissipated. He stood alone in the sky. Under his old face, his body surged with extreme power.

“Those who are shouting that Nezha wants to commit suicide and take Li Jing’s life, step forward.”

Li Changshou sneered. “Why? Does the dragon race now have the habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong? Did you choose the path and don’t even dare to bear the consequences? Did you flood Chentang Pass today just to show off?”

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, we are in the wrong. However, for the dignity of the dragon race, we have offended you!”

A dragon elder shouted and transformed into a dragon. He pounced at Li Changshou!

The moment the elder moved, the dragons present had complicated expressions. However, they revealed their dragon bodies and flew towards Li Changshou.

When the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals saw that, they immediately wanted to suppress him.

When the immortals of Chan School saw that, they had already activated their Dharma treasures!

Fairy Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and the others moved forward and were about to attack the dragons from the side.

However, Li Changshou’s calm voice calmed them down.

“Everyone, retreat. I will fight alone. Those who are inferior to me in the Dao realm are useless.”

As he spoke, Li Changshou opened the fingers of his right hand and aimed at the dragons flying over.

Balance existed between reality and illusion.

On the East Ocean, waves of water exploded. The Taiji Painting behind Li Changshou rotated gently. The Great Dao of Equalization was augmented by the Connate Cardinal treasure and instantly engulfed a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

The water dragons formed by the power of the Water God appeared behind Li Changshou.

The Great Dao of Equalization forcefully deprived the strength of the dragon race and balanced them on the water dragons.

Then, he added the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Yin and Yang Qi, the power of the Heavenly Punishment, and Li Changshou’s will!

There were sounds of roaring and dragon roars.

Under the shocked gazes of the living beings, hundreds of azure dragons flew out from Li Changshou’s back and pounced at the dragon race below. It was as if a huge water mirror had been erected in the world.

Outside the mirror, the dragon shadows were fighting!

This was Taibai Jinxing suppressing the dragons.

…

Half a day later…

The starlight was faint. The immortal light of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals illuminated the night at Chentang Pass like it was daytime.

Dozens of azure dragon corpses floated in the sky. Hundreds of dragon-headed elders were injured. Their cultivation levels had been sealed, and they were sitting cross-legged behind the Dragon Kings of the four seas.

At that moment, the four dragon kings were also injured. The Dragon King of the East Ocean, in particular, had half of his horns broken.

Li Changshou stood in the air with his hands behind his back. His aura was lingering, and his silver-white hair kept dancing.

In this battle, the four dragon kings and the elders with the highest strength in the dragon race naturally did not use their full strength. Li Changshou also showed mercy and only killed dozens of dragon experts with the fiercest eyes.

All of this was a prelude and a foreshadowing. It was all to let the dragon race feel sufficient pressure.

What Li Changshou was about to say was the main point.

“Dragons, do you want to live or die?”

The dragons lowered their heads and remained silent. The Dragon King of the East Ocean sighed slowly. “Life.”

“In that case, I’ll give you one last chance.”

A bright star shone behind Li Changshou. The starlight shone on the foreheads of the Dragon Kings of the four seas and formed four golden Five-Element Brands.

“Pass me the Water God decree. The dragon race are to reform themselves within a limited time. They are not allowed to enjoy too much. They are not allowed to be blindly arrogant and oppress the Sea Clan. Three years later, the Dragon Kings of the four seas shall report to the Heavenly Courts about the reform and accept the Immortal Gods appointed by the Heavenly Courts to monitor them. In the future, if the dragon race violates the Heavenly rules, they will be punished severely. The positions of the water gods of the mortal world are appointed by the Heavenly Courts to test living beings regularly. They are no longer limited to the dragon race.”

“The great authority the dragons hold in the mortal world shall be confiscated by the Heavenly Courts. The Hall of Enlightenment will issue a degree at any time. Those who cross the line will be severely punished. If there are any mistakes in the timing, region, or division, the wrongdoers will be executed. From today onwards, the dragon race will stop accumulating merit for a thousand years to pay for the flood of the Chentang Pass today. From today onwards, the Heavenly Courts’ Dragon Slaying Platform will be on standby. Don’t forget the lesson today. The dragon race is not rich. The dragon race is only repaying the sins of the past and suppressing the Sea Eye. The Heavenly Dao shall bear witness.”

After Li Changshou finished speaking, a blue divine light rippled in the world. The power of the Heavenly Dao turned into immortal light and descended everywhere in the four seas. It turned into the shadow of shackles and wrapped around the dragon’s neck.

Li Changshou shook his head slightly. In the depths of his Dao heart, his essence soul summoned a “stone tablet” and slowly erased the word “four” on it.

He carved the word “five”.
