Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

"The matter at hand is not yet settled."

With fury in its eyes, the dragon king stared intently at the giant hand, its roar shaking the heavens.

"When my dragon race returns to its ancient origins, and when our ancestors reappear in the mortal realm, we will surely offer the blood of the celestial court to commemorate their dragon souls!"

"My dragon race will surely rule the world once more!"

After speaking, the old Dragon King stepped into the pre-set formation and instantly fled under the pressure of the stars in the heavens.

In his last moments before disappearing, he turned his enormous dragon head and looked at the thousands of heavenly soldiers in the distance, as well as the phantom image of the Jade Emperor appearing in the Lingxiao Palace, his dragon eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

The sounds of resentment and unwillingness, like thunder from the heavens, resounded throughout the celestial court.
"I hate that Heaven has stolen billions of years from my dragon race!!!"

-

The array shimmered, reaching to the heavens and the earth!

A streak of light, accompanied by the roar of a dragon and the crimson glow of the sky, pierced through the clouds, transformed into a speck of light, and disappeared into the horizon.

I hate that Heaven stole billions of years from me!

The old Dragon King's words echoed from afar, still reverberating throughout the Heavenly Court, deafeningly loud.

The immortals gazed at the sky, their faces grim.

He actually escaped?!

The Celestial Star Array is undoubtedly one of the most powerful arrays in the Three Realms, and its manifested supernatural powers can suppress all enemies!

But now!
He actually escaped with the help of an old, cunning dragon!
The Antarctic Immortal looked back at the shattered Southern Heavenly Gate and the many fallen heavenly soldiers, his face extremely grim!
The stars are falling.

The Celestial Star Array slowly began to operate, and starlight shone down, bathing the heavily injured celestial soldiers in its radiance.

Limbs regenerated, bloodlines revived, divine radiance spread, and they gradually returned to their original appearance, bowing respectfully towards the Lingxiao Palace.

The souls of the heavenly soldiers who died in battle also drifted up and returned to the Heavenly Court with the starlight, waiting for reincarnation and to return to the ranks of immortals.

The collapsed South Heavenly Gate slowly recovered and shone brightly once more.

However, upon closer inspection, a clear mark can be seen on it, marking the fact that it was once divided in two.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, the immortals' expressions were uncertain, ranging from gloomy to calm.

What to do now?
On the other side of the Buddhist journey to the west, Lü Dongbin was entangled with the Buddhist community.

This matter concerns the westward journey of Buddhism, which is destined for prosperity. We must go and check it out no matter what!

Now, more than half of the immortals and gods have entered the underworld and joined forces to interfere with reincarnation.

The reason so many people go there is because the Land of Reincarnation was transformed from Houtu, and even Quasi-Saints are wary of it.

Therefore, sending only a few people would not be of any use, so more than 50% of the immortals and gods entered the underworld, and dared not forcefully attack the cycle of reincarnation, but only used special means to interfere.

This has resulted in the Heavenly Court being empty, with no suitable immortals or gods to send!
The execution of the Four Dragon Kings has caused such a stir...

This farcical situation has left the already overwhelmed Heavenly Court in a state of utter chaos.

To pursue or not to pursue?

Who should we send to chase after them?

Finally, the Jade Emperor spoke up to stabilize the situation:
"No need to panic!"

"Block all news from the Heavenly Realm; the matter of the Southern Heavenly Gate must not be reported to the Three Realms!"

The Jade Emperor's voice was like a booming bell, resounding throughout the Lingxiao Palace, and all the immortals subconsciously looked over.

The Jade Emperor sat regally on his throne, his body radiating divine light.

He was also very angry, but under these circumstances, as the Emperor of All Immortals, he was still able to remain calm.

"Of the remaining immortals and gods, half will go to the Flowing Sand River to assist Lü Dongbin, and the other half will remain in Heaven to seal off all regions!"

"Move more troops!"

"The Antarctic Immortal and the Barefoot Immortal will lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers to capture the wicked dragon Zhuliu, the traitorous immortal Yang Jian, the Howling Celestial Dog, and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas!"

The Jade Emperor's calm voice gradually calmed the restless hearts of the immortals, allowing them to return to normal.

“No need to be nervous!”

"I do not believe that the mere dragon race can overturn the heavens!!"

The Jade Emperor spoke slowly, his eyes burning with divine flames!
"If we cannot find the Willow Candle, we cannot find the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas."

"Then they toppled the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, exterminating the dragon race and wiping them out completely from the annals of history!"

……

……

In Heaven, the Jade Emperor was furious and dispatched 100,000 heavenly soldiers to hunt down the Dragon King, his hound, and others.

Meanwhile, in the distant Jambudvipa (Southern Continent) and Purvavideha (Eastern Continent), at the border of the various heavenly realms.

Mingxuan continued to live a leisurely life.

A recent battle in the East China Sea disturbed the fish population, causing the fish tide, which was originally scheduled to arrive next month, to arrive ahead of schedule.

This pleased Mingxuan greatly, and the meals had improved considerably recently. 'Crackling sounds…'

As the campfire burned, Mingxuan held a crab bigger than his face and used a fishbone spoon to scoop crab roe into his rice, enjoying its delicious flavor.

Before I could eat more than a few bites, I heard that familiar notification sound again.

[Disciple No. 275 of the Heavenly Dojo, has begun to show his fame in the Three Realms. Reputation +1, Status +1]

[Host, your strength has increased by 11111]

[A garden of 'million-year-old blood ginseng' will be awarded as a reward]

……

[Disciple No. 201 of the Heavenly Dojo, has begun to show his fame in the Three Realms. Reputation +1, Status +1]

[Host, your strength has increased by 1]

[Award: One 'Enlightenment Tea Tree']

…………

【The sacred grounds of all heavens…】

Upon hearing these hints, Mingxuan remained calm and composed.

The notification sound has been incessant lately and cannot be turned off.

Since it can't be avoided, I'm too lazy to bother with it.

From initial surprise upon hearing the news to now calmly enjoying the fish.

Mingxuan gradually stopped taking these hints to heart.

But the last hint made Mingxuan pause slightly.

[Disciple No. 369 of the Heavenly Dojo, renowned throughout the Three Realms, Fame +99, Status +99]

[Host, your strength has increased by 999999]

[Reward: 'The Divine Essence of the Great Dao' bestowed upon you!]

Mingxuan was slightly surprised.

It is not because of the divine essence of the Great Dao.

It is neither a case of widespread fame nor a sudden surge in strength.

It was the hint from disciple number 369...

"Disciple number 369?"

Mingxuan vaguely recalled that there were only about three hundred disciples in the dojo, and he could not remember some of their names clearly.

But number 369 should be one of the very last disciples, right?

Although the disciples are not ranked according to the order of entry, the last few disciples should be the ones who entered the temple last, right?

Did they also get involved in the fighting?

If it is a struggle, why is it that his prestige in the Three Realms is "fully displayed" instead of "first displayed"?
Although it's only a one-word difference, they are clearly different, and the rewards are much more generous.

"Among the last few disciples, if we include that old Gou Long, there should also be a dog guarding the gate?"

"Those few prompts from Xiao Jiu earlier seemed a bit unusual?"

Mingxuan rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

The more he thought about it, the more his brow furrowed, and the more suspicious he felt there was something amiss.

Thinking back on everything that happened, and recalling the details of the past...

When the Heavenly Court attacked the Dragon Clan's ancestral tombs, Mingxuan felt something was amiss, and now he felt even more uneasy.

Mingxuan frowned as he ate his rice, still savoring the grilled fish and crab.

But at the same time, he began to think seriously.

My dear disciples, are you sure you're not really causing trouble in the Three Realms?
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have this ability, right?

I must be overthinking it.
With such a cautious teacher, my disciples shouldn't be too ostentatious...

Yes, that must be it.

"Speaking of which, the date we agreed to meet last time is approaching."

"Shouldn't my group of pure and obedient disciples be back by now?"

"I miss you all very much!"

Muttering to himself, Mingxuan was somewhat confused. He missed his disciples and worried that they would be bullied outside, but what did it mean when his right eyelid kept twitching?
………………

Just as Mingxuan's right eyelid twitched,
In the distant human realm, several streaks of light were speeding towards us, riding on the clouds.

None other than the Celestial Hound and his companions, who had just escaped from the Celestial Realm!
They broke through the barrier between the celestial realm and the mortal world, successfully returning to the human realm, but did not return to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. (End of Chapter)
