Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

After having a vegetarian meal at Luojia Mountain, Yun Chonghua returned to his water palace.

After returning to his residence, he took out the "golden Buddha relic" that the Buddha had bestowed upon him.

He placed the relic on the table in front of him and slowly opened the golden box.

When the golden box was opened, a dazzling beam of Buddhist light shot out.

In an instant, the entire water palace was enveloped in this Buddha light.

Yun Chonghua stared intently, and saw the golden relic lying quietly inside, like a pill. The light it emitted brought a sense of peace to the heart.

Under this radiant light, Yun Chonghua was free from all distracting thoughts and desires, experiencing only inner peace and tranquility.

Within this auspicious light and mist, there seemed to be boundless power. Holding it close, Yun Chonghua even felt his physical and magical strength, which he had just used, slowly recovering.

However, after studying the relic for a long time, Yun Chonghua couldn't find any other mysterious aspects about it.

He thought for a moment, and realized that in the original Journey to the West, there were only two places where relics were mentioned: one was Kui Mulang's "Exquisite Inner Elixir of Relics", and the other was the Buddhist relics stolen by the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints from the top of the pagoda in Jisaguo.

But Yun Chonghua wasn't sure whether Kui Mulang's "Exquisite Inner Core of Relics" was actually a relic, or just an inner core that looked like a relic. He only knew that it seemed to have no special functions other than curing diseases.

As for the one atop the tower in Jisaguo, Yun Chonghua felt it was more like a "light bulb" hanging on the top of the tower. Not only did it not show any specific function, but it also had to be nurtured with the Queen Mother's Ganoderma lucidum.

Yun Chonghua felt that the treasure bestowed by Buddha was more profound than this, but he couldn't fathom it, so he had no choice but to put it away for the time being.

I'll ask the White Crane Fairy about the miraculous effects of this relic when I see her again in the future.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. The Purple Smoke Bell rings, signaling the day to report to Heaven once again.

Yun Chonghua leaped into the air, activating the power of the Kunlin Treasure Robe, and arrived outside the South Heavenly Gate in the blink of an eye.

Nezha, as usual, was checking on the guards here.

Upon seeing Nezha, Yun Chonghua hurriedly went to greet him, cupping his hands and saying, "Brother!"

Seeing Yun Chonghua's radiant appearance, Nezha immediately said, "Brother Chonghua, you've become even more charming in just one day."

Yun Chonghua said, "What has passed in a day for you, elder brother, is a whole year for me in the mortal realm. I have some good fortune in the mortal realm."

At this moment, Yun Chonghua remembered the time when the White Crane Fairy had called him away and neglected Nezha. He then said, "Brother, the other day, Sister White Crane..."

Upon hearing this, Nezha waved his hand and said, "I understand her concerns. She's doing this for your own good. Although we have a good personal relationship, getting too close wouldn't be a good thing for you. But don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, our brotherhood will not change."

Yun Chonghua smiled and nodded, saying, "It's good that you understand, brother. I'm relieved."

After bidding farewell to Nezha, Yun Chonghua immediately went to Kehan ​​Si to report on his duties.

On the way to Kehansi, when they reached the banks of the Milky Way, they saw the White Crane Fairy slowly approaching.

Upon seeing the White Crane Fairy, Yun Chonghua rushed forward to greet her.

Seeing this, Fairy White Crane laughed and said, "Oh my! This time you're much faster than before. I haven't even reached the South Heavenly Gate yet, and you're already almost at Kehansi."

Yun Chonghua asked, "Oh? So, Sister Baihe came all this way specifically to welcome me?"

The White Crane Fairy nodded and said with a smile, "That's good. Go to the Kehan ​​Division to report for duty first. Then come to the entrance of Yaochi; I'll be waiting for you there."

Seeing the expression on the White Crane Fairy's face, Yun Chonghua knew something good was about to happen. So he hurried off to report to the Kehan ​​Division.

After finishing his report, Yun Chonghua headed straight for Yaochi. But on his way there, he saw a pair of acquaintances.

These two people were none other than the two celestial officials who had captured him and taken him to heaven back then.

When the two men saw Yun Chonghua from afar, they immediately turned and ran.

But now that Yun Chonghua has the Kunlin Treasure Robe protecting him, his speed is extremely fast.

The two had barely turned around and taken two steps when they bumped into him.

Yun Chonghua then laughed and said, "Don't run away as soon as you see me!"

When the two men came to their senses and saw Yun Chonghua standing in front of them, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive our past transgressions. We were only following orders from our superiors when we captured you and took you to heaven. Please forgive us."

Just as the two were about to kneel, Yun Chonghua helped them up and said, "I said before, if you two hadn't captured me and taken me to heaven, I wouldn't have the good fortune I have today."

The fox spirit replied, "The divine lord's good fortune is his own blessing. It has nothing to do with us. We hope that the divine lord will not hold our grievances against us and will forgive us! Forgive us!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Yun Chonghua knew that he couldn't have a normal conversation with them.

Yun Chonghua's eyes darted around, and then with a thought, four bright pearls from the East Sea flew out of the jade bottle.

He handed the four pearls to the two of them.

Upon seeing the brilliance of the pearl, the two immediately fell silent.

The two then exchanged a glance and looked at Yun Chonghua simultaneously.

Yun Chonghua smiled and said, "Don't worry. I truly want to thank you both. If it weren't for your kindness in sparing my life, I wouldn't have the prosperity I have today. Although there were some unpleasant twists and turns in the story, it wasn't your fault. And that doesn't stop me from thanking you both."

Seeing Yun Chonghua's sincerity, the two celestial officials slowly stood up.

The two of them accepted the pearl from Yun Chonghua, and then the fox spirit said obsequiously, "You're too kind, Divine Lord. My brother and I were only concerned about your cultivation back then. You needn't take it to heart."

Yun Chonghua then summoned more treasures from the jade bottle.

After what happened in Jimo, the Dragon King of the East Sea gave him a considerable amount of wealth, which Yun Chonghua couldn't use all by himself. So he decided to take out a portion to give to the two of them.

Yun Chonghua said, "These are just some tokens of my appreciation, a way to express my gratitude for your kindness back then. I have business to attend to at Yaochi, so I won't linger here any longer."

After saying this, Yun Chonghua turned and left, giving the two no chance to refuse. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Yun Chonghua secretly hid to the side to observe the two's reactions.

Although Yun Chonghua gave them only gold and silver, they were both very happy and quickly put the valuables away.

Then he bowed with his hands clasped in the direction of Yaochi, as if to thank Yun Chonghua for his reward.

Then Yun Chonghua smiled and headed towards Yaochi.

Upon arriving outside the Jade Pool, the White Crane Fairy was already waiting there.

The White Crane Fairy asked, "Why did it take you so long to arrive?"

Yun Chonghua replied, "On the way here, I encountered the two celestial officials who had previously captured me and taken me to heaven. Although they captured me, they had shown kindness and intended to release me. Before, they would run away whenever they saw me, but I ran into them today. So, I must thank them properly."

Then, Yun Chonghua moved his divine sense, and several pearls from the East Sea flew out of the treasure bottle. He said, "This is the reward given by the Dragon King of the East Sea after the incident in Jimo. I'm afraid you wouldn't be interested in some of the gold and silver, but these pearls from the East Sea are very beautiful. I kept a few to use as lamps and gave four to the two celestial officials. The rest are for you, sister."
