Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 99: Hong Gu He Dao Authority God, Jinghe Woman

The old Dragon King smiled dotingly, "My beloved, have you forgotten that the Jing River that my dear girl insisted on going to is now a no-man's land?"

"The Jinghe Old Dragon and his family had previously angered the Dongting Dragon King because of a matter concerning their children. He found fault with them and brought the case to the Heavenly Court. Afterwards, the entire Jinghe Old Dragon family was beheaded."

"Among the old dragons of Jinghe, not a single dragon, jiao, qiu, viper, or even a newly born anaconda was spared."

"The Jinghe Old Dragon Clan previously occupied the Jinghe River. Within the vast Jinghe River, all the power, incense, and divine positions were occupied by this family."

"So, after their death, they left behind a lot of authority and positions in the Jing River. However, over the past hundred years, the great demons of this river and other water palaces have fought for it and hindered each other. As a result, these authorities and positions have remained vacant until now."

"I, Old Dragon, have the power to control rivers and lakes on land. Since my dear girl intends to go to Jing River, I, Old Dragon, will first obtain an authoritative priesthood!"

Concubine Li was a little worried: "If the Dragon King takes it first, I'm afraid the other gods and demons will have objections."

"There's no need to worry about river monsters. If they can't become gods, they're still wild monsters. They constantly fight for the things that immortals and gods want. Their biggest ambition is to beg for a position of worship. How can they dare to get involved in power and authority?

As for the other gods and deities, hehe, I don't think they would dare to fight for what I, the East Sea, want!"

The old Dragon King was usually very patient, but the hint of arrogance in his words at this moment made Concubine Li's eyes light up and her heart flutter when she saw it.

As he spoke, the old Dragon King wiped his mouth and sprayed out a water-blue light spot, which then grew against the wind.

In just a breath, it turned into a huge water vein map.

On it, there are all the four seas and rivers, water mist is everywhere, and mysterious light is faintly visible. Through the water vein map, you can vaguely see countless river monsters in the water.

The old Dragon King signaled Hong Gu to come closer. Hong Gu came over with her hands tucked up her skirt. The old Dragon King then pointed to the Jing River on the water vein map.
Then, a thin white light flew out from the Jing River on the water vein map. The white light was like a small snake dancing in the air, without horns or claws. It was one of the powerful priesthoods born from the Jing River.

The old Dragon King stretched out his hand and pressed the water vein power that was like a small snake towards Hong Gu's eyebrows.

At this moment, the East China Sea suddenly surged underwater, and the sea surface was also surging with huge waves. Thunder and lightning flashed in the clouds, and ghosts wailed and gods howled on the land.

The old Dragon King sneered disdainfully and shouted, "Today, I, the old dragon, am seeking power for my beloved daughter. If anyone dares to stop me, don't blame me for flooding the mountain temple and crashing into the clouds afterwards!"

"roll!--"

In an instant, the wind died down, the clouds dispersed, the ghosts stopped crying, the gods were silent howling, and the seas and rivers were peaceful.

The old Dragon King pressed the water vein authority on Hong Gu's brow. However, the water vein authority, which was shaped like a small snake, did not merge with the Yang Spirit in Hong Gu's body and tried to break free and escape.

The old Dragon King snorted coldly, opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of golden light. In the blink of an eye, countless golden ingots appeared in front of Hong Gu.

"One million authority gold, is that okay?"

As soon as these words came out, the little snake transformed from the power water vein immediately stopped struggling. The old dragon king waved his hand, and millions of power golds burned.

The flames shot up several feet, swirling around the little water viper of power. The little water viper faintly let out a satisfied hiss.
It just slowly seeped into Hong Gu's eyebrows.

After all the small snakes transformed from the power water veins penetrated into Hong Gu's eyebrows, the millions of power golds on the ground were burned out.

An hour later, Hong Gu's eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light.

Concubine Li quickly covered her mouth and cried with joy.

A jade sceptre suddenly appeared in Hong Gu's hand. On the front of the sceptre, the words "Goddess of Jing River who responds to the wishes of the world, seventh-rank deity" were engraved in relief, while on the back of the sceptre, the pattern of the Jing River's veins was visible, and below it were the words "Dragon Fish Hong Gu".

Hong Gu pulled her skirt back and bowed, "Hong Gu thanks my parents for your help in my achievement!"

At this time, Hong Gu had added three points of majesty to her original rich and dignified temperament, and golden light occasionally appeared in her eyes. She truly deserved the title of the Goddess of Jinghe River who responded to the wishes of the world.

The old dragon king looked his darling daughter up and down, with a look of reluctance in his eyes: "Alas, my precious daughter, how could she be so easily taken away by that abominable snake?"

These words were like saying that the juicy cabbages in one's own garden were being eaten by a pig. When Hong Gu heard this, her face turned red and she stamped her feet repeatedly in protest.

Hong Gu got what she wanted and was very happy. Unlike before, she was no longer as talkative as before and became more talkative.

"Father, when you helped Hong Gu merge with the Dao's power water veins just now, what was that power gold you used?"

"The incense of Hedao must be supported by incense silver, and the authority of Hedao naturally requires authority gold."

"Authority gold is not only the currency used by the gods of heaven and earth for transactions, but it is also essential for achieving unity of authority. Generally speaking, a ninth-rank authority god needs 10,000 authority gold, an eighth-rank god needs 100,000, and since you're a seventh-rank god, you'll need a million."

"If you, my dear daughter, are lucky enough to gain a higher authority in the future, your father will pay for the authority money needed to achieve the Dao!"

"In our East China Sea, the most abundant thing is not soldiers and generals, but wealth and treasures!"

Hong Gu was shocked. She had been busy practicing and thinking about Liu Qing before, and didn't care about her family's wealth. She never thought that her family was so luxurious.

Concubine Li winked and said, "Aunt Hong, why don't you thank your father?"

Hong Gu hurriedly thanked me, but Concubine Li added, "That's not enough. You must thank me again. It was not because your father gave you the authority to merge with the Dao that you were able to preserve your body. If it were based on your incense, your body would be gone, and only your soul would remain."

"Without a physical body, what's the point of you going to see the snake?"

Concubine Li blinked, and Hong Gu suddenly understood and her face turned red.

To become a god through incense, one must abandon the physical body and fuse the soul with incense before becoming a god. He is called the god of incense, but he is actually a ghost god.
But authority is different. There is no need to abandon the body. The body, soul, and authority are integrated into one. Walking the path of immortals, authority is not lost, and there is eternal life.

In other words, the way of the gods of power is equivalent to the way of demons and immortals, except that the majesty of the heaven and the underworld is growing day by day, and it is not as barbaric and lawless as in the ancient times. It just accepts the demons of the ancient times who have been cultivated into immortals and incorporates them into the Shinto system, calling them gods of power.

The most important thing is that you have a physical body to get married and have children.

Thinking of this, the redness on Hong Gu's face spread to her neck.

"That snake is lucky. I really want you to be the incense god. Humph, but even if you have the power and the body is still there, you can't let that snake get away with it easily. I have to satisfy my father before you can get married."

Hong Gu said softly, "Father, Father, what level of performance does Xiaoqing need to achieve to satisfy you?"

"You must transform into a dragon to be qualified to become the son-in-law of my East Sea Dragon Palace!"

Hong Gu's face turned bitter, and her eyes slowly began to turn red again. The old Dragon King slapped his forehead and groaned:

"It's not that my father wants to make things difficult for it, or that he values ​​family background. It's just that you are still young and inexperienced. You don't know that in today's world, snakes and pythons are treated like animals and are not favored by gods and earth. If you meet a greedy person with black hands, you will be caught and used as a snack.

If it transforms into a dragon, it's different. Even if it's a mixed-blood dragon that transformed from a snake or python into water, it's still a dragon. Once it's a dragon, it's under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Palace. With me, the master of the dragon clan, here, I can protect it a little. The gods and deities won't dare to mess with it easily for my sake."
