Chapter 82 The Ironclad Soldier of Will
The Dragon King of the South Sea led his civil and military officials, escorting Xu Xian and the Third Holy Mother, and sailed grandly towards the seabed.
In the ocean depths, corals spray colorful clouds and pearls shimmer with brilliance, creating a truly breathtaking sight.
At the deepest point, suddenly a straight mountain pillar rose into the sky, almost reaching the clouds and peering down into the netherworld.
Upon seeing this, the old dragon was shocked: "How could it be like this?"
Xu Xian looked at the Heavenly Pillar and asked in confusion, "Could this be the Iron Pillar that stabilizes the sea?"
The old dragon examined it carefully and finally nodded, saying, "It is indeed the Iron that Stabilizes the Sea, but it was originally only about two zhang tall and about dou thick. How has it become like a pillar supporting the sky today?"
Old Dragon was both shocked and afraid.
He had already boasted that the Dinghai Iron would be an excellent weapon.
To change into this state now, wouldn't that be a breach of trust?
If Xu Xian gets angry then, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Just as the old dragon was hesitating, the turtle prime minister beside him suddenly exclaimed with great joy, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Immortal!"
Old Dragon gritted his teeth: "What's there to be happy about?"
The Turtle Prime Minister said, "The Iron Pole Weapon of Following One's Heart has remained unchanged for ten thousand years, yet it transformed into this form when the Immortal arrived. This proves that the Iron Pole Weapon of Following One's Heart is a weapon bestowed upon the Immortal by Heaven! Once the Immortal subdues it, it will surely become a precious personal treasure."
Old Long's eyes lit up!
This turtle prime minister was indeed cunning; with just a few words, he shifted the blame onto Xu Xian.
Moreover, it was said extremely aptly.
The change in the Iron Pole Soldiers was due to Xu Xian's arrival, not the fault of the Dragon King of the South Sea.
Xu Xian's ability to subdue the divine weapon was due to his skill.
If they cannot be subdued, they cannot be blamed on the Dragon King of the South China Sea.
Xu Xian naturally understood the implied meaning in the Turtle Prime Minister's words.
He stepped forward with a smile, placed his hand on the huge iron pillar, and muttered, "It is indeed a fine treasure. It would be even better if it were smaller and thinner."
The enormous iron pillar did indeed change, rapidly shrinking in size.
In the blink of an eye, it shrank to more than ten feet in length and about ten feet in diameter.
Upon seeing this, the old dragon exclaimed, "This treasure is truly destined for the immortal."
Xu Xian did not answer, but continued reciting: "More detailed, more short."
The ironclad soldiers continued to change as they pleased.
At this point, it was only about ten feet long, but unfortunately it was still as thick as a bowl.
Xu Xian recited, "More detailed, more detailed."
The iron rod had indeed become a few inches thinner, just right for holding.
Xu Xian held the iron rod and examined it closely.
Five large characters are engraved on the iron bar: "Iron Rod Soldiers Who Follow Their Will!"
Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the treasure [Willful Iron Pole Soldier] (Red)
"It really is a wonderful treasure!"
Xu Xian held the iron rod, full of admiration.
The Third Holy Mother's eyes also revealed a look of joy: "Amazing! It would be even better if you had a set of armor!"
The Third Holy Mother looked at the Dragon King of the South Sea with a smile, which made the Dragon King feel uneasy.
"Immortal, I do indeed have a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown here, if you wish—"
Xu Xian thought to himself, "Of course I'm willing, but this is Monkey King's armor, so I can't take it."
In the version of Journey to the West where the Monkey King is exorbitantly depicted, his influence is immense.
If Xu Xian were to arbitrarily alter Monkey King's various opportunities, it could very well lead to unexpected consequences.
This was something Xu Xian could not tolerate.
Therefore, he immediately waved his hand in refusal, while laughing and saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Dragon King. I appreciate it. The Iron Pole Soldier is enough!"
Xu Xian's words surprised both the Dragon King and the Third Holy Mother.
They never expected that Xu Xian would refuse this treasure.
"Hey, this is a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown! I've even heard of it. Are you sure you don't want it?"
The old Dragon King was also filled with trepidation.
The strength that Xu Xian displayed truly frightened him.
If I have slighted this immortal and caused him to hold a grudge and refuse to accept the crown, it would definitely not be a good thing.
The old Dragon King stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Immortal, that treasure—"
Xu Xian waved his hand, indicating that this treasure was not meant for him.
This finally calmed the old Dragon King down.
The Dragon King, accompanied by his civil and military officials, escorted Xu Xian and the Third Princess back to the Dragon Palace, where he prepared an extremely lavish banquet and song and dance performance.
The group drank and made merry, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Three days later, Xu Xian took his leave with the Third Holy Mother.
The old Dragon King sat in the Dragon Palace, his face quite ruddy.
He bestowed titles upon the Sea Patrol Yaksha and the Turtle Prime Minister, and then began to contact the other three Sea Dragon Kings.
A moment later, the Dragon Kings of the East Sea, West Sea, and North Sea arrived as promised and gathered at the Dragon Palace of the South Sea.
"Three brothers, a few days ago a sage from Buzhou Mountain came to my place. His name is Xu Xian. Do you have any information about him?"
'
The three dragon kings pondered for a long time, then shook their heads.
"I've never heard of this person."
"Have they already reached a transcendent state?"
"Those beings were all renowned figures, and indeed none of them had ever heard of Xu Xian."
"What brings Xu Xian here? Who is accompanying him?"
The Dragon King of the South Sea said solemnly, "The Third Holy Mother will accompany us!"
"Who?!"
"The Goddess of Mount Hua?"
"The Jade Emperor's niece?"
"Erlang Shen's sister?!"
"How is that possible?"
The Dragon King of the South Sea said, "After careful examination, it is indeed the Third Holy Mother. Moreover, Xu Xian truly possesses the power to move mountains and overturn seas; he is indeed in a transcendent and saintly realm."
"What brings that sage here?"
"They said they were looking for a weapon, but they took the Iron Pole Weapon of Free Will."
"It's actually that treasure? Truly remarkable!"
The four Dragon Kings discussed the matter for a while and finally came to a conclusion.
Xu Xian possessed extraordinary abilities and was also able to befriend the Third Holy Mother.
They might be a close disciple of some important figure; we absolutely cannot afford to offend them!
"Eldest brother and two younger brothers, please remember, if Xu Xian goes to the East Sea, West Sea, or North Sea, do not provoke him."
"certainly!"
"I also want to meet that saint and make friends with him."
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Xu Xian and the Third Holy Mother rode on the clouds and soon arrived at Mount Hua.
The Third Holy Mother looked at Xu Xian and suddenly asked, "I remember you said you owned a Taoist temple?"
"That's right, my dojo is in Beiju Luzhou."
"Is Buzhou Mountain really your sacred site? I'd like to go and see it."
Xu Xian thought for a moment, then nodded.
Three years ago, he gave the drought demon an order to rebuild Mount Buzhou.
Three years have passed now, I wonder how things are now.
Let's go back and take a look.
Xu Xian rode on the golden clouds of the Jade Terrace, taking the Third Holy Mother westward.
The Third Holy Mother looked back eastward and said, "That monkey is indeed very interesting. Why don't we tame it?"
"No need."
The Monkey King was just born at this time and did not possess any extraordinary magical powers.
He first needs to find the Water Curtain Cave, become the Monkey King, and live a leisurely life for three hundred years.
Only when the monkeys in the mountains grow old will Brother Monkey cross the ocean to find Patriarch Bodhi.
Xu Xian did not intend to interfere with Monkey King's opportunity.
We just need to give the Monkey King a little guidance when he goes out to sea.
What he needs to do now is to see if the monsters on the journey to the West are all cultivating as expected.
There are many monsters on the journey to the West, but Xu Xian can only make use of a few.
Because most monsters have very powerful backgrounds and are pawns of great supernatural beings.
Xu Xian is currently not allowed to interfere.
As for other minor demons such as the King of Nanshan, Lady White Bone, and the Spider Demon, Xu Xian didn't even look at them.
The monsters he truly wanted to subdue were either like the Six-Eared Macaque, whose cultivation had already transcended the ordinary and entered sainthood.
Either they possess extremely troublesome innate supernatural abilities, like the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.
Only such monsters can become pawns on the journey to the West, giving Xu Xian the true right to intervene in the journey.
Of course, although this was the version of Journey to the West: Crossing Tribulations, it was still more than a thousand years before the Journey to the West truly began.
Xu Xian must reach level 80 within a thousand years!
That is, the pinnacle of transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint!
By then, Xu Xian would be protected by the Lotus Lantern, and his own strength would surpass that of all the gods in Luo Tian.
Only then could he gain opportunities on his journey to the West and become a true master of supernatural powers.
Xu Xian, riding on the golden cloud of the Jade Terrace, led the Third Holy Mother westward and soon arrived at the location of the Two Realms Mountain.
Of course, there are no real Two Realms Mountains here now, just some ordinary mortal mountains.
"This place is called Twin Fork Ridge, and there are some minor monsters practicing cultivation here."
Xu Xian pointed to the mountain range below and chatted leisurely with the Third Holy Mother.
The Third Holy Mother sensed the monsters on Twin Fork Ridge and said, "They're just some tigers, leopards, wolves, and bears. Should we deal with them?"
"Ignore them and keep looking west. I've taken on a disciple there; let's see how his cultivation is progressing."
Xu Xian smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation: "More importantly, your sister is coming back."
