The Dao Ancestor's temple statue: the Sea Dragon King
"As a member of the Nagas, you should know how to speak, right?"
After a brief calculation, Li Boyang closed his Heavenly Eye again and looked at the sea serpent, asking a question.
"I... I can... speak..."
I don't know if it's just their nature, or if they've been scared out of their wits.
Dragon King Sagara's voice trembled, and even his tone sounded apprehensive.
"Her voice is quite pleasant, but her appearance is rather unsettling."
This is Xiluo's complaint, and Miaoshan shares the same thought.
Despite having the face of a Dao Ancestor, his demeanor and tone were both alluring and timid, which was truly both laughable and pathetic.
"So, are you the Dragon King Sagara now?"
Ignoring Xiluo's complaints, Li Boyang continued to ask softly.
"Sagara... the Dragon King?"
Slightly confused, the Dragon King Sagara blinked and said uncertainly.
I guess I am?
"That's what the Utpala call me."
"That's what the little dragon that came to my place last time called me too."
Clearly sensing Li Boyang's goodwill, Dragon King Sagara's voice became much more normal.
Although the volume was still very low, and although he still looked timid, at least he was able to communicate normally.
So what exactly happened?
As she gently lifted the Dragon King Sagara from her palm, Xiluo couldn't help but ask further questions.
"Well... that's a long story..."
Before Li Boyang could even begin to suspense, Xiluo interrupted him impatiently.
"Then let's make it short. You know I've never been very good at expressing my temper or patience."
With a helpless shrug, Li Boyang took the Dragon King Sagara into his hands before slowly speaking.
"It all started with the God of the South Sea, Buyan Huyu."
Influenced by Wu Yi Shoots at Heaven, Bu Buyan Huyu attempted to invade the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and obtain the complete Method of the Celestial Person.
During that disaster in the South Sea, the Mountain Folk resisted the invasion of the South Sea with tenacious perseverance.
Ultimately, the great battle ended with Li Boyang refining Buyan Huyu's body into the [Mutton-Fat Jade Purifying Vase], which was used to suppress the South Sea Eye.
As an extension of Buyan Huyu's power, the sixteen Night-Wandering God were afflicted by the [Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness] were used as raw materials to forge the [Baleful Force of the Five Punishments] now in Xiluo's hands.
However, everyone knows that besides these sixteen Night-Wandering God, many other gods in the South Sea have also been afflicted by the [Incantation of Jade Transformation and Sleeplessness]. These sixteen Night-Wandering God are merely survivors who emerged from among them and possessed a portion of the Buyan Huyu power.
In order to break free from Wu Yi's Curse.
Buyan Huyu of madness, hunted down the gods of the South Sea, turning countless deities into jade statues.
These jade statues either fell into the deep sea, sank into the darkest trenches, or were crushed by the terrifying pressure of the ocean.
Only a few jade statues survived, and were then washed ashore by the waves.
This includes a deity who attained enlightenment through a sea serpent.
As Li Boyang killed Buyan Huyu, the jade statue of the sea serpent began to regain its vitality.
As time went by, a village of a foreign tribe along the South Sea noticed the mystery of the jade statue and eventually decided to enshrine it in Li Boyang's temple.
In any case, the statues of gods in Li Boyang's temples have always been bizarre and varied.
In comparison, the jade statue of a sea serpent is considered the most ordinary among them.
Because similar incidents had occurred so frequently, even Li Boyang didn't pay much attention to this somewhat strange jade sea serpent statue.
On the contrary, the alien village discovered that since they enshrined the jade statue of the sea serpent, the area around the village had become as blessed with favorable weather as the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Moreover, whenever the alien tribes went out to sea to fish, they would witness the spectacular sight of sea snakes willingly falling into their nets.
From initial panic to later getting used to it.
The alien races gradually became accustomed to these "prey" who walked right into their trap, and each time they would choose the thickest sea serpent to offer as a sacrifice in the temple.
The jade statue of the sea serpent enshrined in the temple was thus revered by the foreign tribes as the "Sea Dragon King".
If nothing unexpected happens, this jade statue of the sea serpent will regain its sentience over time and be reborn as a new god. Unfortunately, before the jade statue regains its sentience, the Nagas built the [Dragon Transformation Platform].
Through the selection process at the [Dragon Transformation Platform], this jade statue of a sea serpent became one of the most suitable physical bodies for the Nagas.
However, the jade statue of the sea serpent did not become a member of any of the Nagas.
Or to be more precise, no single Nagas could possess the Sea Serpent Jade Statue alone.
The Nagas are the embodiment of the desires of all living beings; they are immortal and indestructible.
Since the pools all originate from the same source, they can naturally be united into a single entity with the help of the [Dragon Transformation Platform].
However, in most cases, no Nagas is willing to sacrifice themselves to create a new "pool".
Once such an exception occurs, the being born from the combined power of multiple Nagas will be revered as the "Dragon King" by the Nagas in its pool. Since the birth of the Six Desire Heavens, only eight Dragon Kings have been born.
Nanda, the Joyful Dragon King, was the first dragon king created by the Nagas to fight against the Devas.
The Wise and Joyful Dragon King, Upananda, is the brother of the Joyful Dragon King. He was conceived to deal with the Yakshas.
The Nine-Headed Dragon King, Heshuji, was a dragon king formed by the aggregation of nine dragons to resist Garuda's predation of the dragons.
The Poisonous Dragon King, Takshaka, represents the collective will of the Nagas who, seduced by the Gandharva, have abandoned everything.
The Dragon King of Great Strength Monas was a powerful dragon king who single-handedly drove away the invading Asura.
Anavatapta, the Dragon King of Anavatapta, is the natural-born Dragon King of Lake Anavatapta, the birthplace of Nagas.
The Blue Lotus Dragon King, Utpala, was born in a blue lotus pond after being enlightened by the Buddha.
As for this eighth Dragon King?
This is none other than the timid-looking Sea Dragon King, Sagara.
These eight dragon kings came from different backgrounds, but without exception, they represented the unity and cooperation of the Nagas time and time again.
This is not only rare among the Eight Legions, but also virtually unheard of.
The Eight Legions are all embodiments of desire, immortal demon kings...
Getting these guys to work together is harder than killing the ponds.
This alone shows that the Nagas are perhaps the most united of the Eight Legions.
Especially after the [Dragon Transformation Platform] was created, the vast majority of Nagas wanted to be reborn into the mortal world rather than be trapped forever in the Six Desire Heavens. So, is this another reason why that calamity dragon came to the South Sea?
"Chi wanted Sagara's help, but was ultimately killed by Yinjiao near the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?"
