Extracorporeal Incarnation, Descendants of Luo Hou, Three-Headed Flood Dragon—Another Target for Testing Our Swords!

Lin Zhu, Xuan Du, and Guang Chengzi rescued a Dragon Girl in the West Sea.

This Dragon Girl was the daughter of the West Sea Dragon King, so she invited the three of them to visit the West Sea Dragon Palace. They gladly accepted.

Along the way, the West Sea Princess showed Lin Zhu great respect, and their conversation was quite pleasant.

Lin Zhu answered each of the West Sea Princess's questions.

Before long, the group entered the West Sea and headed for the Dragon Palace.

The underwater world was an entirely different sight.

Countless fish drifted through the seawater, while all manner of aquatic plants flourished in abundance.

There were many palaces upon the seabed.

The palaces were splendid and magnificent. Though they did not compare to the Heavenly Court, they were not far inferior.

This was hardly surprising.

The Dragon Clan had ruled over the aquatic races of the Four Seas for countless years.

There were innumerable treasures beneath the sea, most of which had fallen into the Dragon Clan's hands. Their foundations were exceedingly deep.

When they arrived outside one palace, there was no seawater here. Only squads of shrimp soldiers and crab generals patrolled back and forth.

Outside the palace stood pavilions and towers, with no shortage of rare treasures.

Even Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du were greatly astonished.

Though Lin Zhu was surprised, he did not show it.

"Greetings, Princess!"

Seeing the Princess personally leading several guests, the aquatic races along the way stepped forward to pay their respects.

The Dragon Palace Princess held an exalted status among the aquatic races, so they naturally treated her with the utmost respect.

The group walked straight into the main hall of the Dragon Palace. The interior was a world apart, and its lavish decorations gave Lin Zhu and the other two a fresh impression.

An elderly man clad in a yellow robe sat upon the Dragon Throne.

The Dragon Girl stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, Father King."

The Dragon King was rather surprised to see the Dragon Girl bring three people with her.

"Xiao Ying, who are these three fellow Daoists?"

The Dragon Girl hurriedly said, "They are my lifesavers!"

She then recounted how she had encountered danger in the West Sea and how Lin Zhu and the other two had come to her aid.

Upon hearing this, the West Sea Dragon King said coldly, "Outrageous! A Fierce Beast actually dared to bully a Dragon Clan Princess in my West Sea."

Then his expression changed. He rose to his feet and cupped his hands toward Lin Zhu and the other two. "Thank you, three fellow Daoists, for stepping in righteously and helping my daughter escape danger. May I ask your names?"

Before Lin Zhu could speak, Guang Chengzi said, "I am Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect. These two are my senior brothers: Lin Zhu, Shangqing's direct disciple, and Xuan Du, Taiqing's senior direct disciple!"

Hearing that the three were disciples of Saints, the West Sea Dragon King immediately regarded them with solemn respect. He hurriedly bowed once more and invited them to take their seats.

The Dragon Clan was weak now, confined to the Four Seas.

Saints, meanwhile, stood second only to the Dao Ancestor. Given their status, the Dragon King naturally did not dare slight them, especially since they had saved the Dragon Girl.

Befriending disciples of Saints would greatly benefit the Dragon Clan.

"Great favors need no words of thanks. You three saved my daughter, and I will certainly repay such kindness handsomely. If you have no pressing business, please stay in my West Sea for a time, so that I may fulfill my duties as host!"

Lin Zhu and the other two had come to travel through the Primordial Wilderness, so naturally they did not refuse.

Lin Zhu said, "Then we three shall impose upon you."

The West Sea Dragon King smiled. "You are honored guests. How could it be an imposition? I have long admired the Three Saints. To meet their disciples today is my good fortune, and I shall certainly entertain you well."

With a wave of his hand, he ordered Immortal Wine and Spiritual Fruits brought forth. He personally kept them company and entertained Lin Zhu and his two senior brothers.

Naturally, the three did not stand on ceremony.

They ate and chatted, getting along quite well.

The West Sea Dragon King lamented the Dragon Clan's weakness and lack of powerful experts, unable to hide his sorrow.

Lin Zhu naturally offered kind words of consolation, saying that the Dragon Clan still ruled the Four Seas and retained immense authority. The Four Seas held countless resources, so nurturing powerful experts would not be difficult.

Guang Chengzi, Lin Zhu, and Xuan Du remained at the West Sea Dragon Palace for several years.

The West Sea Dragon King personally acted as their guide, leading them through the sights of the West Sea. They chatted freely and enjoyed themselves greatly.

As Lin Zhu observed the scenery of the West Sea Dragon Palace and watched the lives of the aquatic races, he gained much insight.

One day, the West Sea Dragon King held a banquet for the three senior brothers. Many aquatic race generals and water palace officials attended as well.

During the feast, aquatic races sang and danced. A Water Sunflower Spirit even performed the art of division, repeatedly splitting its body apart before merging it back together.

As Lin Zhu watched, his divine sense suddenly stirred, and a notification sounded by his ear.

"You observed the lives of the aquatic races and gained insight. With your heaven-defying comprehension, you have comprehended the Divine Power of Extracorporeal Incarnation."

Immediately afterward, information regarding the Extracorporeal Incarnation Divine Power appeared within Lin Zhu's sea of consciousness.

After absorbing the information, Lin Zhu was overjoyed.

An Extracorporeal Incarnation was a duplicate formed by separating a portion of one's divine sense from the True Body.

The duplicate possessed half of the True Body's cultivation and could act independently, fight others, and so on.

This Divine Power was exceedingly useful.

When the True Body was cultivating, the duplicate could handle affairs. It could also search for treasures and the like.

Several years later, Lin Zhu and the other two wished to leave the West Sea and head for the North Sea.

The West Sea Dragon King ordered lavish gifts prepared for them.

Lin Zhu did not stand on ceremony and accepted the gifts.

The West Sea Dragon King personally saw them off, escorting them beyond the borders of the West Sea before waving farewell.

Thus, Lin Zhu and his two senior brothers left the West Sea and headed for the North Sea.

The North Sea was far more vast than the West Sea.

There were also many Immortal Islands in the North Sea.

As they traveled, they would stay for several days whenever they encountered an Immortal Island. On some islands, they obtained Spiritual Roots and spiritual herbs, making modest gains.

One day!

The three were resting upon an Immortal Island, regulating their breaths in meditation.

Their magical treasures swirled around them, shimmering with flowing light.

Suddenly, Lin Zhu's divine sense stirred, and he rose to his feet.

Outside the island, towering water mist surged into the sky, as though demons were causing trouble.

Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi also sensed the disturbance. They stood up and looked beyond the island.

"Senior Brother, this is..."

Lin Zhu said, "This mist has come too strangely. Demons must be casting a spell outside the island, intending to lure the three of us onto it, perhaps even to come ashore and wreak havoc."

Sure enough, before Lin Zhu had finished speaking,

a figure slowly emerged amid the churning water mist.

It was a monster clad in armor and carrying a great axe. Its hair was like Zhu Miao, its face like Lan Ding, and a pair of fangs jutted from its mouth. It looked incomparably vicious.

When the monster revealed itself and saw the three of them, it laughed loudly. "I went out today to ease my mind, yet I never expected to encounter you three. You can only blame your own fate for this tribulation."

Lin Zhu frowned slightly. "We have traveled through the North Sea and have never had any Karmic Bond with you. Why do you treat us with such malice?"

As he spoke, he used the Omniscience Divine Ability to examine the monster.

The monster's origins immediately became clear to Lin Zhu.

He had not expected such an evil demon to exist within the Primordial World.

Lin Zhu's heart trembled slightly.

This demon's True Body was a Three-Headed Giant Flood Dragon. In its early years, it had entered Luo Hou's service and willingly undergone demonification.

After the conflict between Dao and demons, this demon concealed its Demonic Qi and hid in the North Sea.

Because it had learned a demonic cultivation method that allowed it to absorb the cultivation of others for its own use, it often moved in secret, killing cultivators who came to the North Sea and absorbing their cultivation.

By now, this demon had reached the Grand Luo Late Stage.
