I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 90: Hoodwinking the Dragon Race

"Grand Master of the Great Shang Empire? Dragon Race has no connection with the Great Shang Dynasty!" Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was puzzled.

The Heavenly Mandate Mysterious Bird descended and gave birth to the Shang Dynasty.

Instead, it was the Phoenix Clan that had a connection with the Great Shang Dynasty.

But after all, the Grand Master was a teacher of a nation, and his status was not to be underestimated. Ao Guang quickly said, "Please, Grand Master, come in!" He personally went out to greet him.

"The Grand Master's visit to the Dragon Palace is an honor for me, Ao Guang!" Ao Guang said.

"I came here this time for the third son of the King!" Xia Yi said, and a golden cloud appeared in his hand, with a faint little dragon swimming within it.

"My son!" Ao Guang was both shocked and delighted.

"I happened to pass by the Jiuhewan in the East Sea and unexpectedly saw the young prince being skinned and tortured by a child. I could only use my merit to protect the soul of the Third Prince, so that it wouldn't scatter." Xia Yi said slowly.

"Merit cloud? Thank you, Perfected Being!" Ao Guang hurriedly wanted to bow down.

The Dragon Palace was rich in the Three Realms, lacking only in merit.

Usually, only the members of the clan would go to the Southern Zhanbu Continent to perform miracles and rain, in order to redeem the sins of the Dragon Race.

"No need for excessive courtesy!" Xia Yi waved his dusting cloth, preventing him from kneeling.

"I don't know which child it was, daring to kill the officially appointed god of the Jade Emperor. Truly audacious and lawless. How can I, Ao Guang, let this go?" Ao Guang gritted his teeth.

Xia Yi said, "To be honest, that child is Li Jing's third son, the General of the Chen Tang Pass in the Great Shang Dynasty!"

Ao Guang was furious and said, "Back then, Li Jing studied under the Perfected Being of the Western Kunlun Mountain to cultivate the Dao. I also had a connection with him. How dare he let his son go astray and kill my son? This is an injustice that will last for generations. How can he also torture my son's tendons? It is truly painful to the bone marrow!"

"As the Grand Master of the Great Shang Empire, I have the responsibility to report to the Human Sovereign and capture Li Jing's third son to uphold the laws of Chengtang. But Nezha, Li Jing's third son, is extraordinary. Even if it were the current Heavenly Emperor, they would be helpless." Xia Yi sighed.

"Where does this Li Jing's third son come from? How can even the Heavenly Emperor be helpless against him?" Ao Guang was greatly shocked.

"That Li Nezha is a disciple of Taiyi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void Palace of the Orthodox Teaching. In his previous life, he was also the reincarnation of the Lingzhu of the Nuwa Palace!" Xia Yi said.

Ao Guang's raging anger was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

That was a third-generation disciple of the Orthodox Teaching!

Even if he had killed his own third son, what could he do? Who would dare to go to the Jade Void Palace to seek justice?

"It seems that the disciples of the Orthodox Teaching are all moral immortals. Why would Li Jing's third son cause trouble for my East Sea?" Ao Guang sighed.

Xia Yi smiled and said, "Now that the calamity is approaching, not only the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void Palace need to complete the calamity, but also the other disciples. The Third Prince, Ao Bing, just happened to block the disaster for Li Nezha."

Ao Guang was shocked and angry once again.

Xia Yi continued, "In ancient times, the ancestor of the Dragon Race, Yinglong, assisted Emperor Xuanyuan in defeating Chiyou and voluntarily ascended, becoming the totem of the human race. From then on, the Dragon Race broke free from the shackles of karma, but this action also offended the Orthodox Teaching."

"Why is that?"

"Guangchengzi, the teacher of Emperor Xuanyuan, promoted the rise of the human race. Originally, he could have gained great merit and directly entered the quasi-Saint Realm by killing the evil corpse. However, Yinglong sought to become the totem of the human race, so he shared a portion of the merit, causing Guangchengzi to only reach the realm of a Great Principal Golden Immortal. He could never kill the corpse. Tell me, is this cause and effect significant or insignificant?" Xia Yi laughed.

What he said was indeed true.

These were all things that were discussed as gossip during the Peach Banquet back then.

Ao Guang was shocked.

He never expected that the Dragon Race would have such a cause and effect with the Orthodox Teaching.

"Please save me, National Teacher, Dragon Race!"

Ao Guang quickly bowed and saluted.

He was truly afraid.

In the ancient times, the Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, and Qilin Race caused great chaos in the primordial world, accumulating sins that led to the Dragon Race's successive generations of experts having to fill the sea eye and repay their sins.

In the ancient times, the Dragon Race's ancestor, Yinglong, transformed into the Great Principal Golden Immortal and evolved into the totem of the human race, bringing a glimmer of hope to the Dragon Race.

Only then did the Dragon Race's days improve slightly.

They were able to manipulate clouds and rain in the Southern Zhanbu Continent, earning merits in the human realm.

"For the current plan, we can only seek refuge with the Jiejiao Sect!" Xia Yi said.

Ao Guang remained silent.

"The Daoist Saint's dojo is on the Golden Turtle Island in the East Sea. Could it be that the Dragon King wants to abandon the Jiejiao Sect by his side and curry favor with the Chanjiao Sect in the distant Kunlun Mountains? Besides, even if the Chanjiao Sect doesn't care about the Dragon Race's totem, the Primordial Saint values roots the most. The Dragon Race carries the burden of sins, so how can they gain the Saint's favor? Haven't you heard that the Yellow Dragon Perfected Being, the son of the Ancestral Dragon, is still not favored by the Saint?" Xia Yi emphasized.

After pondering for a moment, Ao Guang nodded and said, "National Teacher is right. Among the three sects, only the Saint on Golden Turtle Island values all beings equally and does not care about us sinning dragons."

"This merit and virtue can help the Third Prince restore his Primordial Spirit. As for his physical body, the Dragon Palace is rich in treasures that can reshape it. I bid farewell!" Xia Yi said.

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist. Old Dragon is extremely grateful!" Ao Guang quickly got up to see him off.

Xia Yi left the Dragon Palace and did not immediately return to Chaoge. Instead, he continued flying in the East Sea.

After flying for several days, he arrived in a sea area surrounded by gloomy and murderous aura, as if there was a broken formation hidden around.

At this moment, the sea water split apart, and a soul wearing armor walked out from it. The style was ancient, not of the present time.

He knelt down and said, "Immortal! I am Bai Jian, the General-in-Chief of Emperor Xuanyuan. I followed Human Sovereign in his conquests, driving away the foreign races and achieving great military exploits. However, when we defeated Chi You, I was struck into the sea by a witch using witch clan weapons and suppressed here. I saw the deep merits of the Immortal in the sea before, and I believe you must be a moral immortal. I hope the Immortal can display your might and let me follow you in fire and water. I will definitely follow you to the death to repay your great kindness."

Bai Jian had been trapped here for countless years and had encountered some immortals before, but none of them were able to save him.

"I will save you because of your past contributions to Human Sovereign!" Xia Yi said.

After that, he took out a ruler that was over two feet long, surrounded by countless purple qi, and a difficult-to-describe aura of power emerged.

It was the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler!

Boom...

Xia Yi gently waved it, and immediately, purple light burst forth. The ancient formation below made cracking sounds and collapsed in a short time.

Bai Jian was immediately freed and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Immortal, for your great kindness. Bai Jian is willing to serve the Immortal as his lord and obey your orders!"

"I am the National Teacher of the Great Shang Dynasty. I can report to Human Sovereign and appoint you as a general. Your talent in arranging troops will not be wasted," Xia Yi said.

"Thank you, Immortal!" Bai Jian was overjoyed.

"But you are just a wandering soul. Your physical body has long been destroyed. First, you need to reshape your body and restore your strength," Xia Yi said, waving his hand, and a landscape painting appeared, enveloping Bai Jian.

"What rich Innate spiritual energy, and such pure stellar power!" Bai Jian was shocked.

With this Innate spiritual energy and stellar power, he could reshape his body and restore his original strength within a century!

On the other side, at Chentang Pass, Li Jing was terrified when he heard that his son had killed two gods who were conferred the title of Heavenly Emperor, but unexpectedly, the aggrieved party did not come knocking on his door.

This made him puzzled. The East Sea Dragon King was not a magnanimous person.

At the Golden Light Cave of Mount Qianyuan, Taiyi Perfected Being manipulated his techniques, deducing the situation and exclaimed, "That old dragon actually suppressed his desire for revenge against his son's killer? How strange!"
