Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 362: Heavenly Palace Treasure Stealing
Silizhai, inside the secret room.

After hearing Princess Wansheng's plan to "steal treasures from heaven", Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, stroked his forehead with his hand, and confirmed with Ao Yao:
"Get into the heavens, adapt to circumstances, and leave everything to fate?"

"Ao Yao, is your plan that simple?"

Princess Halloween had a calm expression, her eyes were firm and bright:
"It's that simple."

"if not?"

“I also know this is difficult.”

"Heaven is not a place you can just enter or leave. The heavenly soldiers and generals are highly powerful and on high alert."

“But I can’t just give up because it’s difficult, right?”

"Nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum is so important to me. It is related to my practice and future. I must get it!"

As she spoke, Princess Halloween's tone became more resolute, with an unquestionable light flashing in her eyes:
"If I don't try, how can I know if it works?"

"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to fight hard!"

Xiao Chen looked at Princess Halloween in front of him and seemed to understand something.

People grow and change, and this sentence seems particularly appropriate at this time.

More than a thousand years of time and experience are enough to completely change a person.

Just like a rock that has experienced wind and frost, its edges and corners will eventually be smoothed by time, becoming round and smooth.

Just like Sun Wukong, the Monkey King during the period of havoc in heaven, how brave and fearless he was. He never shed tears, was strong and unyielding, fearless of heaven and earth, as if nothing in the world could restrain him.

During this period, Sun Wukong had no idea what reinforcements were, nor did he need them. He was the most arrogant person in the Three Realms!
Sun Wukong held a golden cudgel in his hand and, without distinguishing good from evil, he caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace, forcing the Nine Stars to close their doors and windows and the Four Heavenly Kings to disappear without a trace.

In the Heavenly Palace, he was equally matched, using his iron rod to hit enemies everywhere, and no god could stop him. He fought all the way to the Tongming Palace, and outside the Lingxiao Palace, he threw away his stance, and none of the Thunder Gods could get close to him. He made endless changes to disturb the Heavenly Palace, and the Thunder Generals and their divine weapons could not be caught.

Even when facing the Buddha, Sun Wukong was not afraid at all. He was full of anger, shouted loudly, and challenged the Buddha brazenly.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace, Sun Wukong held the Ruyi Jingu Bang and angrily questioned the Tathagata Buddha:
"The strong should be respected, and only heroes dare to be the first!"

"This old Jade Emperor sits on the throne of heaven."

"How come I, Sun Wukong, can't sit on the throne of heaven?"

How proud and confident was Sun Wukong at that time! It seemed as if he was the only one in the world! No force could make him bow his head.

But five or six hundred years later, Sun Xingzhe Sun Wukong is no longer the unruly Monkey King.

He became much more smooth-talking, more worldly-wise, and even a crybaby.

From being aggressive in the past to being patient and compromising now, Sun Wukong's character has changed dramatically.

Maybe this is what growth is.

Time is like a blade, it sharpens my edges and grinds my pride, but it also gives me wisdom and experience, so that I can learn how to survive in the world.

Whether mortals or immortals, no one can escape the carving of time, and all evolve and transform in its torrent.

The same is true for Princess Halloween.

A piece of rough jade may become a priceless jade after being carefully carved by a craftsman.

Princess Halloween a thousand years later may shed her youthfulness and become calm and wise, becoming the "beautiful woman with great talent" praised in the book.

She will become a mature and calm "Big Dragon Girl" of Halloween, with both talent and beauty.

The Halloween Princess at that time might be extremely beautiful, rational and deep, mature and steady, and her every move would reveal the peerless charm of a queen.

however.

Today, the Halloween Dragon Girl is still just a reckless and impulsive little girl.

In the long lifespan of the dragon race, more than a thousand years is indeed just her childhood and growth period.

At this moment, the Halloween Dragon Girl is like an impulsive little Lolita, full of curiosity and rebelliousness towards the world.

Her character and abilities have not yet fully developed, and she is impulsive and rebellious.

Her skills are really average, and she only knows some simple spells.

Even if she met a powerful heavenly general in heaven, she couldn't defeat him.

Her character, her cultivation, and her experience all need time to be honed and grow.

at this point in time.

Princess Halloween does not have the help of Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian in the Heavenly Palace.

Even, where is the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum?
She didn't know anything and relied entirely on her own guesses and assumptions.

The current Halloween "Little Dragon Girl" is a lone dragon that breaks into the Heavenly Palace, wanting to steal treasures from the Heavenly Palace. Isn't this just a joke?

"Ao Yao, is this so?"

Xiao Chen tapped his fingers, his eyes gleaming with deep thought.

Inside the secret room.

At the stone table.

The candlelight flickered.

Xiao Chen's figure was stretched out, reflecting his solemn and complicated expression at the moment.

Princess Halloween stood aside with a firm and resolute look on her face, but her slender hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt. This subtle movement revealed her deep inner nervousness and anxiety at the moment.

Her figure was extremely graceful, and her light blue dress swayed gently in the wind, making her look even more fresh and refined, like a quietly blooming lily, full of feminine beauty.

One can't help but want to get closer and savor the tranquility and beauty.

But Princess Halloween's eyes were as bright as torches and seemed extremely tenacious. Her eyes revealed an indomitable spirit and a determination to persevere to the end no matter what difficulties she faced.

This is in stark contrast to the softness of her appearance.

"Will this Golden Horn King help me?"

Princess Halloween thought to herself.

She was waiting for the final decision of the Golden Horned King.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually filled with nervousness and anticipation.

The King of the Golden Horn once owed her father a favor and had solemnly promised to help her in this matter.

But she did not use this as an excuse to gain respect.

Princess Halloween is a smart person with many thoughts. She is well aware of the subtlety and complexity of human relationships.

In her opinion:

"If someone doesn't really help me, it will only become a burden to me. It's better not to have them."

She would rather bear everything on her own than let the King of the Golden Horn force her out of favors.

The atmosphere was quiet, yet extremely tense.

Xiao Chen was thinking about the current situation, and every detail flashed through his mind quickly.

He knew that the decision at this moment not only concerned the fate of his woman and his adopted son, but also involved Princess Halloween, old Dragon King Halloween and the friendship between them.

at the moment.

Nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum is undoubtedly a necessity for Wan Shenggong at this moment to repair his damaged foundation.

Without this nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, her cultivation would hardly make any progress, and she might even fall back to a lower realm, which would undoubtedly be a slow death.

But at the same time, this nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is also something that King Golden Horn urgently needs.

"Heaven..."

"Do I have an insider?"

Xiao Chen looked up at the ceiling, as if his gaze could penetrate all obstacles and reach the heaven above the nine heavens.

He had never been to heaven, so he had no idea what it looked like or what its terrain was like.

The most critical point is:

"A thousand years later, this nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum will be in the Lingxiao Palace in the Heavenly Palace. But now, will the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum still be there?"

"At this time, is the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum in Heaven?"

"Who knows?"

All this is unknown.

This matter is of great importance and without an insider, nothing can be done.

He needs an extremely reliable insider who will never betray him.

at this point in time.

Marshal Tianpeng and General Juanlian are still in heaven and have not been demoted to the mortal world.

So, does King Jinjiao have an accomplice in Heaven?
Of course he did.

He has the best and most suitable insider who can help him!
"She will definitely go!"

Xiao Chen looked at Princess Halloween who had a determined look on her face.

He understood Ao Yao's determination and her situation.

Princess Halloween had no choice at this point; she was destined to give it a try, and no one could stop her.

This is an act of survival, who has any reason to stop it?
At this moment, it was inevitable for Princess Halloween to go to the Heaven to steal the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, and this time she came to ask for help from King Golden Horn.

What King Golden Horn needs to consider is whether to help Princess Halloween or not.

The answer is yes.

He will definitely help with this.

On the one hand, he was the indirect cause of the damage to Princess Halloween's foundation, and this matter was caused by him.

He also promised the All Saints Dragon King:

"If there is a way to repair the foundation in the future, and it is useful to me, King Jinjiao, I will definitely help you."

On the other hand, he also needed the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum.

When he helps Princess Halloween, he is actually helping himself!
Although the foundations of his five adopted gourd spirits were destroyed, they were still lucky enough to survive.

However, his lover, who was also the leader of the Pansi Cave forces under his command, Pansi Daxian, was now seriously injured and would not live more than a hundred years.

There really isn't much time left for him.

He knew very well that the injury of Pansi Daxian could not be delayed any longer, otherwise the consequence would be her death.

This nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is also of vital importance to him, the King of Golden Horn.

He originally wanted to obtain this "method of repairing the foundation", but he had no way to find it, and he had been searching for it.

Unexpectedly, Princess Halloween actually gave him this "foundation repair method" directly. This was really good news that made him happy.

He and Princess Wansheng actually have the same goal. He also wants to get the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum!
"No matter how hard you try, you will never find it. But when you find it, it is effortless."

“This is a God-given opportunity.”

Xiao Chen looked at Princess Wan Sheng with a firm gaze, and he had already made a decision in his heart:

"Nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, I want it!"

A hint of ruthlessness emerged on Xiao Chen's face. It was the mark left after he had gone through countless storms and defeated countless powerful enemies. It was the domineering and decisiveness that was unique to him, the King of the Golden Horn!

He, the King of Golden Horn, once imprisoned the uncle of Buddha Sakyamuni, the younger brother of the Peacock King.

He had also admired the daughter of the Jade Emperor, and his memory of her extraordinary beauty remained unchanged.

He had slaughtered the heavenly soldiers and killed the generals of heaven. In his eyes, the majesty of heaven was as fragile as paper.

He, the King of Golden Horn, had also killed the Bodhisattvas of Lingshan and chopped off the disciples of the ancient Buddha Dipankara. In his eyes, all the Buddhas of Lingshan could be killed.

...These disasters are enough to shock the three realms, and any one of them is bigger than the sky.

However, for the King of the Golden Horn, these things were just small episodes in his life.

Like a passing cloud, it is gone in a flash.

Stealing a treasure from heaven?
Haha, this may be extremely shocking to ordinary people, like a huge storm.

But to King Golden Horn, it was just a trivial matter, as natural as eating and drinking.

What’s the point of talking about this?
Xiao Chen slowly said:

"Ao Yao, since I have promised your father, if there is a way to repair the foundation, I will definitely help you."

"Then we should keep this promise."

Princess Wansheng heard this and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly and said:

"King Jinjiao, your kindness and loyalty will always be remembered by Ao Yao."

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and said:

"I'm here to help you with this matter of 'stealing treasure from heaven'!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Halloween's pretty face instantly broke into a brilliant smile, filled with infinite joy.

She stood up, walked lightly like willow catkins in the wind, and walked to Xiao Chen, bowed gracefully, and said softly:
"Then Ao Yao will thank Uncle Jinjiao..."

"Oh no, it's you, King Jinjiao."

However, Xiao Chen waved his hand to stop her from thanking him.

He looked at Princess Wansheng, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness, and said in a deep voice:
"Ao Yao, wait a minute."

"I have one more condition that needs to be negotiated in advance."

Princess Halloween was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Chen to put forward conditions at this time.

She raised her head, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked:

"King Jinjiao, please speak."

Xiao Chen said:

"This Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, since it has nine leaves..."

at the same time.

Xiao Chen secretly calculated in his heart:
"The five elements of the gourd spirits are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each gourd spirit needs a piece of Ganoderma lucidum leaf to nourish it. This is the fifth leaf."

"Besides, Great Immortal Pansi has been ill for a long time, and he is at the level of Daluo Jinxian. One tablet may not be enough. Two tablets are needed to help him recover."

"In that case, I need seven pieces."

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

After all, according to his calculation, he would take seven of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum for his own use, which was almost equivalent to him enjoying this precious magical herb alone.

As for the Halloween Princess Ao Yao, she could only get two Ganoderma lucidum leaves, which was only a small part of it.

He and the All Saints Old Dragon King are close friends, and he owes the All Saints Old Dragon King a favor.

The incident with Princess Halloween was also caused by him.

"My behavior was indeed a bit excessive."

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly.

However, the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum is also indispensable to him and is something he must obtain.

There is no way that King Golden Horn would give up his woman and children.

Hey……

He really had no choice.

Xiao Chen looked at Princess Wan Sheng and communicated with her frankly:

"Ao Yao, if I get this nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, I need to take seven of the nine leaves for my own use."

"Do you think it's feasible?"

"This takes seven leaves..."

Upon hearing this, Princess Halloween frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by the distribution plan proposed by Xiao Chen.

She didn't expect Xiao Chen to take away seven Ganoderma lucidum leaves at once, which made her hesitate.

After all, the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is essential for repairing her foundation. Each leaf contains endless spiritual power, making it particularly precious.

Every Ganoderma lucidum leaf is precious to her.

Princess Wansheng pondered for a moment, her eyes scanning Xiao Chen's face, thinking to herself:

"The Golden Horn King in front of us is already the overlord of the demon world."

"His reputation as the 'King of the Golden Horn' is known across the four continents, and his friends in the demon world are all over the world."

"This Golden Horned King is a top-notch Taiyi Golden Immortal. He is even the offspring of the Ten Great Demon Saints..."

"Even Yuan Hong, the great demon in the Conferred God War a thousand years ago, was no match for him."

"He has countless magical weapons and a brilliant record. He has never been defeated so far."

"For a great demon like this, no one knows where his limit is."

“No one has seen his ceiling.”

"It can be said that his magical powers are vast and unfathomable."

"Without the help of the Golden Horned King, it would be difficult for a little dragon girl like me to enter the Heavenly Palace."

"Not to mention stealing the heavily guarded Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum."

"For this matter, I will need to rely more on the power of the Golden Horn King."

"With my current level of cultivation, two pieces... are enough."

Princess Halloween was secretly calculating and pondering in her mind.

After weighing the pros and cons, Princess Halloween's brows gradually relaxed.

She knew that cooperating with the King of the Golden Horn was her best choice at the moment.

What's more, this King of Golden Horn and her father, the Old Dragon King Wansheng, have been close friends for many years. They have known each other for a long time, so she is not worried that King of Golden Horn will break the promise.

Princess Halloween opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear and pleasant:
"King Jinjiao, then it's up to you."

"If you really get the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, you can get seven and I'll get two."

"but……"

Having said that, Princess Halloween paused for a moment, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and then continued:
"The root of this nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum must belong to me."

Seeing Xiao Chen's puzzled expression, Princess Wansheng quickly explained:
"I am good at growing Ganoderma Lucidum. If I can get the roots of this nine-leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, I might be able to cultivate some high-quality acquired Ganoderma Lucidum."

“It also works wonders.”

"If the cultivation is successful, you and I will split the profits 50-50, how about that?"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment after hearing this.

He knew in his heart that the root of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum was of no use to him, and he was not an expert in growing Ganoderma lucidum.

Princess Halloween is good at this. If I let her cultivate it, maybe she can really cultivate high-quality Ganoderma lucidum, which will be an extra gain for me.

then.

Xiao Chen nodded, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand:
"Ao Yao, that's it."

"Deal."

Princess Halloween was stunned. She looked at the hand Xiao Chen stretched out. At first, she thought that he was going to perform some special etiquette from the demon world or that he wanted to high-five to form an alliance.

She hesitated for a moment, but then stretched out her slender hand and gently patted Xiao Chen's hand.

A rough big palm and a snow-white and delicate small palm, the two palms collided in the air.

There is a crisp "pop" sound.

Xiao Chen held Princess Wansheng's hand, shook it gently, shook hands and said with a smile:

"Ao Yao, we are allies in this matter."

"Pleasant to work with."

"I hope we can successfully obtain the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum together."

Princess Halloween was stunned by the special etiquette of "handshake".

But in the demon world, there are many strange races, and it is not uncommon for various demon races to have strange ways of interacting with each other.

She was smart and quickly understood Xiao Chen's intention, and responded with a smile:
"Okay, nice to work with."

"King Jinjiao, I believe that with your help, we will succeed."

That's it.

King of the Golden Horn and Princess Halloween.

A toad and a dragon girl.

The current overlord of the demon world, made an alliance with the Wansheng Little Dragon Girl of Bibotan, stole treasures from the Heavenly Palace, and conspired to seize the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum!
As agreed:

Of the nine leaves of the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, the Golden Horn King got seven and the Halloween Dragon Girl got two.

The rhizomes of the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum belong to the Halloween Dragon Girl so that she can try to breed more Ganoderma Lucidum.

As for the future, the Ganoderma lucidum bred by the Halloween Dragon Girl using the rhizomes of the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma lucidum will be divided equally between the Golden Horn King and the Halloween Dragon Girl.
