Riding a Serpent Chariot as King, the Western Sea Dragon Palace

Fang Shu waved his sleeve, and the seven Flying Sword he had released were instantly put back into his sleeve.

Just now, after bowing, he raised his hand and used his Flying Sword to kill all the demonesses on the ship, along with the turtle and tortoise Immortal cultivator, on the spot.

The reason for this is not because these demons are completely useless after the questioning is over.

Rather, whether from questioning or soul searching, it was found that these demonic attendants of the True Dragon Zigong were all like this demonic dragon, with a penchant for devouring human Immortal cultivator.

Even when the True Dragon Zigong doesn't appear, these guys will still use their power to intimidate islands and Sea Market around the world, forcing them to offer up the best Immortal cultivator for them to eat and practice their arts.

If Fang Shu had his original idea, these guys should have also enjoyed being refined into food.

Killing them all in one fell swoop would actually give them a quick death.

On the deck, Fang Shu glanced at the pool of blood on the ground, made a Method Formula, and the scattered Gu worms swarmed up, landing among these demons and feasting on them.

Compared to the True Dragon Zigong, these demonic creatures, though possessing Spiritual Qi and usable as medicinal materials, are practically useless to those who have achieved True Immortal Dancheng.

The only things that could barely catch Fang Shu's eye were the turtle core inside the turtle Immortal cultivator's body and its turtle shell.

That's right, this seemingly timid Immortal cultivator -like immortal is actually a True Core demon.

However, the quality of the Great Elixir formed by this fiend was quite poor, only slightly better than False Core. Moreover, its Divine Ability seemed to be concentrated on its tortoise shell, and it was not skilled in combat.

If Fang Shu hadn't acted so quickly, and the creature had actually retreated into its shell, Fang Shu might have had to imprison it and cook it for quite some time before finally killing it.

Fortunately, this Immortal cultivator was truly obsequious, thinking he could find another master and serve Fang Shu. In his carelessness, Fang Shu unexpectedly gained an advantage. "Eh!"

At this moment, Fang Shu played with the tortoise-shaped pill for a while and suddenly discovered that the quality of this True Core did not seem to be as bad as he had imagined.

This object is quite similar to the tortoise shell and turtle shell he remembered, so it should be usable for medicinal purposes.

He thought to himself, "Perfect, I can try mixing this with the True Dragon's Essence Blood; it might even enhance the medicinal effect."

He carefully tucked the item into his sleeve.

Then, Fang Shu glanced at the shell left by the Immortal cultivator immortal, made a Method Formula, and the shell shrunk to the size of a palm, then flew towards the depths of the treasure ship.

The immortals surnamed Immortal cultivator were still diligently maneuvering the Golden Core Treasure Ship.

He had seen some of what was happening on the deck of the treasure ship, but he dared not be distracted and pretended not to have seen anything.

So when the tortoise shell flew to his side, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator exclaimed in surprise at just the right moment.

The other person held the tortoise shell, examined it several times with their Divine Sense, and immediately showed surprise on their face.

The immortal family Immortal cultivator Che wanted to decline, but such a shell of True Immortal quality was most convenient for crafting Golden Core Law Artifact for alchemy.

For a False Core- Immortal cultivator like him, this item is extremely rare and highly sought after; it is a top-tier life-saving treasure!

After much hesitation, the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator suppressed his pretense and obediently prostrated himself before Fang Shu, saying, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure upon me!"

From now on, Mr. Che will be willing to give his life, even unto death.

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu simply replied, "We are both Immortal cultivator, so what's the point of talking about life and death?"

Keep it safe; consider it your reward for coming to sea with me this time.

The Immortal cultivator surnamed Che responded, "Yes!"

After preparing these miscellaneous items, Fang Shu looked up at the other items on the deck.

These were the carriage that the True Dragon Zigong rode in, along with several large black-scaled snakes that were pulling the carriage.

The former also appears to be a Law Artifact, and at a rather high level. Although it is not True Core Law Artifact, it is a False Core level Law Artifact at the Nine Tribulations perfection stage, and its internal space is quite large, equivalent to a palace.

However, after a moment's thought, Fang Shu broke the formation of the Golden Core Treasure Ship and threw the carriage into the Chidao, letting it drift with the waves.

Such a chassis has a unique shape, and many people in the Western Sea must recognize it. Moreover, it is likely that eight or nine out of ten times it still bears the special mark of the True Dragon Zigong, making it impossible to obtain.

However, it was those several large black-scaled snakes that caught Fang Shu's attention.

The several large snakes were all at the False Core stage, quite remarkable indeed.

If the True Dragon Zigong hadn't been so arrogant earlier, causing the snake to collide directly with the Golden Core Treasure Ship, leaving each one injured with broken bones and shattered scales, it might have caused quite a ruckus on the ship, hindering Fang Shu.

Contrary to Fang Shu's previous expectations, these black-scaled serpents, though intelligent, were not demons or Immortal cultivator.

They are similar to the "spirit beasts" described in the book, but their intelligence is only like that of a child. Ultimately, they cannot be considered Immortal cultivator; they can only be considered animals.

Furthermore, according to the Turtle Immortal cultivator and others, this kind of black-scaled serpent is a symbol of status and prestige in the Western Sea.

Because they possess the appearance of a dragon, but are not of dragon lineage, they are often kept by True Immortal from various seas as a facade.

Especially for true dragon sons and grandsons like the True Dragon Zigong, they used it most frequently.

Moreover, in the Western Sea, there is only one way to purchase this black-scaled serpent: the Western Sea Dragon Palace.

The methods used to raise this snake are considered secrets of the Dragon Palace, and outsiders are not allowed to see them.

Not only is a restriction placed on the Bloodline of each black-scaled serpent, preventing others from altering it or using it for reproduction, but it is also impossible for others to use it for procreation.

Even the souls of each of the black-scaled serpents had been tampered with.

Its soul and body are extremely closely connected. Once the body dies, the soul immediately dissipates, and all the memories within the soul vanish, making it impossible for others to search for the soul.

Therefore, all the Immortal cultivator of the Western Sea who purchased this snake as their mount can ride it with complete peace of mind.

The few dragons in True Dragon Zigong's hands were not ones that this fellow brought out of the mansion.

They were collected from various islands at great expense by Zigong, who also bullied others multiple times.

Fang Shu pondered for a moment, then suddenly transmitted his voice, asking the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator a few questions in detail.

As it turned out, what the immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator said was no different from what the group of demons said.

This made Fang Shu think to himself, "In that case, these black snakes might be worth keeping; they might come in handy."

After this thought swirled in his mind several times, he immediately raised his hand, and with a whoosh, another Flying Sword shot out.

The several large black-scaled snakes on the deck noticed this and let out mournful cries.

But this time, the Flying Sword did not behead them, but instead severed the chains binding them with a clang.

Sensing the commotion, the black snakes hissed in delight.

Then they shrank their bodies and flew to Fang Shu's side, sometimes sluggishly and sometimes nimbly, circling around him like cats and dogs.

Upon seeing this, Fang Shu couldn't help but laugh, "Truly like animals."

He couldn't help but reach out and scratch the chin of the five-headed black-scaled snake, teasing it quite a bit.

Meanwhile, his Core Qi also seeped into the body of the five-headed black snake.

Fang Shu even used the Dao Insect's vision on the spot to carefully examine the Karma Thread on the five black snakes.

After confirming repeatedly that the five black snakes were quite "clean" and had no backup plans, he kept them by his side.

Even so, he still planned to use that Witchcraft Gu Secret Method later to try to refine the Qi and Blood of the five black snakes.

He didn't want these five black snakes to have any unforeseen hidden tricks up their sleeves.

In the days to come.

Driven by the Immortal cultivator surnamed Che, the Golden Core Treasure Ship headed straight for the depths of the Chidao.

Fang Shu's original plan to travel around the Western Sea while continuing his journey was also abandoned.

To avoid accidentally causing trouble when stopping in some Sea Market along the way.

However, he did not intend to simply fly along the Chidao, leaving the Western Sea and heading towards the Central Province Plains.

This trip to the Western Sea did have a destination.

That is the sacred site of the Immortal cultivator of the Western Sea - the Western Sea Dragon Palace!

More than two months later.

On Chidao somewhere in the Western Sea, the water suddenly rippled, and a ship shaped like a large fish crashed through the surface and flew out.

Immediately afterwards, two figures flew out of the large ship.

They were Fang Shu and that immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator.

The two of them had already arrived near the legendary Western Sea Dragon Palace along the Chidao.

However, Fang Shu stood on the sea and looked around, only to find no trace of the so-called Dragon Palace.

The immortal surnamed Immortal cultivator quickly landed to the side and explained, "Reporting to our master, the location of the Western Sea Dragon Palace is another four or five thousand li to the north. As you instructed, this place is rather remote, so we flew out ahead of time to avoid attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives."

Fang Shu nodded; it was indeed something he had instructed them to do.

After a moment's hesitation, Fang Shu waved his hand.

Suddenly, the three-thousand-foot-long treasure ship behind them shrank.

In the blink of an eye, the treasure ship shrank to the size of a peach pit, becoming extremely exquisite.

Fang Shu put the small boat made of walnut into his sleeve and said to the Che family Immortal cultivator beside him, "Let's go that way and see the legendary splendor of the Dragon Palace."

The fortune Immortal cultivator nodded hurriedly, but his movements were somewhat hesitant, and he looked as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, "The master's attire—"

It should be noted that Che Luanshan is nothing special; he's just a small fry at sea, and since going to sea, he's been hiding on the treasure ship and hasn't shown his face yet.

However, Fang Shu is different. Not long ago, he personally killed a True Dragon in front of a group of Immortal cultivator from Shattered Star Sea Market.

To walk into the Western Sea Dragon Palace so casually now would be tantamount to turning oneself in.

Upon hearing Fang Shu remained calm and asked in return, "My attire is quite ordinary, what's the problem?"

Che Luanshan immediately mustered his courage and offered his advice.

But the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Right before his eyes, Fang Shu's aura suddenly underwent a mysterious transformation, instantly changing from that of a pure human to that of a Demon Race.

Not only did his aura change, but Fang Shu's skin also turned a shade redder, and two prominent horns even grew on his forehead.

"This..." Che Luanshan exclaimed in surprise.

The man scrutinized Fang Shu repeatedly, but found nothing amiss about Fang Shu.

With such an appearance, he looks True Immortal!

Fang Shu maintained a reserved expression, and even clapped his hands.

A rustling sound rang out, and three large black-scaled snakes emerged from his sleeves, growing larger as they faced the wind, eventually becoming ten zhang thick and long in the blink of an eye.

He then took out a cloud from his sleeve, squeezed it in his hand, and threw it onto the backs of the three black-scaled snakes, where it transformed into a simple carriage frame and saddle.

Fang Shu leaped onto the carriage and sat upright on the frame, gesturing for Che Luanshan to come forward as well.

Che Luanshan looked surprised and immediately jumped down to the driver's seat.

The man took the reins and exclaimed in surprise, "Master, your attire truly resembles that of a dragon-born True Immortal from the Western Sea on his journey!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shu finally smiled and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist, do you only see the resemblance to me, and not the True Dragon in person?"

As he spoke, his figure flickered, and the true form of the Scarlet True Flying Centipede was vaguely revealed on his face.

Now, Che Luanshan was completely convinced and immediately bowed to Fang Shu, saying, "It was I who was blind and did not recognize Your Majesty."

"Ha ha!"

Although the Scarlet True Flying Centipede is not a dragon, its appearance is quite impressive, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider it a "True Dragon".

Fang Shu immediately pointed north and shouted, "Let's go! Follow me back to the Dragon Palace!"

Hiss!

Che Luanshan immediately shook the saddle and reins in his hands.

The three black snakes beneath the carriage hissed and displayed their strength, carrying the two people as they sped towards the Western Sea Dragon Palace.

The snake-shaped chariot was incredibly fast, no less so than the Golden Core Treasure Ship in Fang Shu.

This brought a look of satisfaction to Fang Shu, making him feel that sparing the lives of these black snakes was not in vain.

Unfortunately, what the demons like the turtle and Immortal cultivator immortals said was true; the Bloodline and soul of such black-scaled giant serpents were all bound by restrictions, which could not be altered by human power.

Even though Fang Shu used Dao Register to assist in his research, he still couldn't find the right method and ended up killing two large black-scaled snakes.

Whew!

The journey of four or five thousand miles was traversed in no time, dragged along by the False Core serpent.

Soon, a variety of colorful ships came into Fang Shu's view.

Furthermore, the nearest Chidao has become congested. Even the largest ships have to queue up obediently and move forward slowly.

On the contrary, Immortal cultivator like Fang Shu, who either travel in simple carriages or fly alone on clouds, can fly to the Dragon Palace Sea Market on their own.

At that moment, a crystal-clear mountain suddenly appeared in Fang Shu's eyes.

Its shape resembles an iceberg, but upon closer inspection, it is not made of ice, but rather has the color of glass and the texture of jade; it is a crystal mountain.

This mountain stands alone above the sea, only two or three thousand feet high, but the seawater within a hundred miles around it is crystal clear. When Immortal cultivator come here and look down, they all seem to be standing in the air, and the fish swimming in it also seem to be swimming in the air without anything to rely on.

The mountain range stretches immensely below the sea level, its height seemingly immeasurable, and the further down one goes, the more robust and majestic it becomes.

Fang Shu looked around and realized that the part above the sea was less than one-tenth of the entire crystal mountain range.

In terms of sheer size, this mountain surpasses all the major Divine Immortal mountains on the Western Continent, truly majestic and magnificent.

Fang Shu couldn't help but exclaim, "This mountain is indeed the Western Sea Dragon Palace! It truly lives up to its reputation!"

With a flick of his sleeve, he immediately ordered his serpent chariots to rush towards the majestic Dragon Palace.
