Chapter 54: Gods and Immortals
The Dragon King of Changhe has endured half of it.
He knew that Nezha was a disciple of the Chan sect, practicing the ways of the saints, and he was also one of the most powerful gods in the Three Altars and Sea Assemblies in the Heavenly Court, with many magic weapons. He did not try to seduce Nezha and bring humiliation upon himself.
But, the Li Anran in front of him is different!
From the conversation between Nezha and Li Anran, he heard that Li Anran was just recommended by Yang Jian to be the prison god, and was not the disciple of the saint who was originally listed in the List of Gods.
And since Li Anran was the prison keeper and had to escort the prisoners personally, he deduced that Li Anran was not having a happy time in this prison.
A prison keeper god who suddenly rose to a high position but is not living a happy life!
This is his last chance to survive!
Seeing that they had reached the corner and there were no other heavenly soldiers or generals around, the Changhe Dragon King hurriedly went to talk to Li Anran.
"Boy, your title of Prison God sounds good, but you are just a high-level jailer. You stay in this prison all year round, and even your cultivation is restricted. How much better can you be than the prisoners in the prison?"
Li Anran glanced at the Changhe Dragon King indifferently, with only two words in his mind: "idiot".
This Changhe Dragon King was born the son of the ancient dragon clan leader. Later he became the Dragon God of the Four Rivers, and his status was second only to the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
Even at this time, there was a hint of condescension in his tone.
That's fine!
The key point is that one of the dragon horns on his head is broken and one is twisted, his eyes are one big and one small, his nose and face are swollen, the dragon scales on his body are incomplete and bloody, and he walks with a limp!
With such a miserable appearance, and still trying to confuse him by saying “How much better can the prison god be than the prisoners in jail”, it’s simply hilarious!
Li Anran didn't even bother to say anything. He turned around and continued dragging them forward.
"Boy, what's your attitude?"
The Changhe Dragon King thought that Li Anran didn't know his identity, so he pretended to be angry, but in fact he introduced himself: "I am also the Four Rivers Dragon God after all, how dare you be so disrespectful!"
After shouting a few times, seeing that Li Anran did not even turn his head, the Changhe Dragon King seemed to have finally realized the reality. He sighed and said, "Boy, although I am in trouble, I am still a Dragon King. Why do you tie me up with them?"
"How about this! I won't make it difficult for you. Just untie the ropes that connect me to them, and I will teach you a spell that can resist the erosion of evil spirits, such as..."
Before he could finish his words, a golden light flashed and directly sealed the mouth of the Changhe Dragon King.
Li Anran believed that the Dragon King of Changhe knew how to resist the invasion of evil spirits.
But he doesn't need it!
And even if he needed it, he wasn't going to get it this way.
Being in heaven, he didn't want to give people anything to talk about.
Without the Long River Dragon King making noises beside him, Li Anran continued to check the life stories of the other water dragon kings.
Compared to the Long River Dragon King, the experiences of other water dragon kings are much simpler.
Some of them were the dragon sons and grandsons of the Changhe Dragon King, and some were monsters who had successfully cultivated and surrendered to the Changhe Dragon King, relying on the Changhe Dragon King to become water gods, and then joined him in rebellion, but were all caught in one fell swoop by Li Jing and his son.
After reading it, Li Anran’s biggest feeling was that the Jade Emperor was really powerful and the dragon clan was really in decline!
In the generation of Changhe Dragon King, the vast majority of dragons do not need to practice at all. As long as they reach adulthood successfully, they will at least have the cultivation level of a True Immortal, or even a Heavenly Immortal.
And when it came to the generation of the Four Dragon Kings.
There are very few dragons who can cultivate to the celestial immortal realm, and the vast majority are struggling in the true immortal realm.
The culprit behind all this is, of course, the Jade Emperor!
He first accepted the surrender of the dragon clan and brought them into the rules of the game in heaven.
Then he enthroned a large number of Dragon Kings, causing the dragon clan to fall apart.
Then he used the Heavenly to boil the frog in warm water, and gradually suppressed the ancient dragon clan to its current level.
No wonder the Dragon King of Changhe would rebel.
No wonder the Jishui Dragon King would expose it.
One of them hated it to the extreme, and the other was afraid to the extreme, so naturally they made completely opposite choices.
Li Anran's original impression of the Jade Emperor was more like the one in the TV series Journey to the West who hid under the table and shouted "Go to the West to invite the Buddha", and the somewhat absurd and confused henpecked husband who was strictly controlled by the Queen Mother in The Lotus Lantern.
But now, it is completely different.
The Jade Emperor is powerful and terrifying!
Li Anran locked up all the dragon kings and water gods in cells, and his participation rate in the arrest increased from "1%" to "5%".
However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he cast a sleeping spell to make Taohe Dragon King, the least powerful of Changhe Dragon King's sons, fall into a deep sleep, and then used the Soul Binding and General Spell on him.
People like to talk about "gods" and "immortals" together, but in fact, gods and immortals are completely different.
The biggest difference between them is whether or not they have accepted the canonization of the priesthood and mastered the authority of the gods!
If not, even if one is an official in heaven and ranked among the immortals, he is only an immortal, not a god!
For example, the sinful immortals who were previously imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by Yang Jian also included Li Anran.
Although he is now the de facto ward of the prison, in charge of the Heavenly Prison, the duties of the ward of the prison are still on Qiu Yin.
Although the Dragon Kings are not Yin gods, they have accepted the canonization of the Heavenly Court and enjoy the incense and worship of mortals. They are also a kind of gods and are restrained by the detention of spirits and the dispatch of generals.
In addition, the magical power of the Taohe Dragon King has also been sealed.
He only struggled for a moment before he was controlled by the Soul-Binding General and completely became Li Anran's puppet.
This kind of puppet is not only physical, but also in terms of thinking, consciousness, emotions and even cognition.
As long as Li Anran is willing, he can control and change everything about the Taohe Dragon King at will.
Li Anran sat cross-legged in front of the Taohe Dragon King, and his consciousness directly entered the Taohe Dragon King's sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness, also called the spiritual platform, has no top or bottom, no left or right, yet within this small space it is as vast as the sea of stars, boundless and limitless.
It is a very dangerous thing to project your own consciousness into someone else's sea of consciousness.
Once an accident , at the very least the mind and soul will be damaged and the cultivation level will decline, at the worst the soul will be scattered and there will be no reincarnation.
However, the Dragon King of Tao River has been controlled by the Juling Qianjiang, so there is no need to worry about these.
Li Anran didn't need to say anything more, the Taohe Dragon King already understood his intention and began to teach Li Anran the skills and magic he had practiced one by one.
Swallowing clouds and blowing out mist, making clouds and rain, controlling the heavens and the earth, moving mountains and hills, turning stones into gold...
The Changhe Dragon King can be said to be the last batch of ancient dragons to receive a relatively complete inheritance. As the Changhe Dragon King's most valued and most talented son, the Taohe Dragon King also received his careful teaching.
The Taohe Dragon King knows many magic spells.
Among them, some are more mysterious and practical, and were later classified by the Xuanmen into the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.
There are also many strange and profound things that Li Anran has never even heard of.
However, when the Taohe Dragon King was about to teach Li Anran the dragon clan's unique skills and secret techniques, he suddenly got stuck.
I was so anxious that I was sweating all over, but I couldn't utter a single word or have a single thought.
Li Anran realized that this should be a restriction set by the powerful dragon clan to prevent the dragon clan's skills from leaking out.
He did not take the risk to test it, but chose to quit while he was ahead.
Just the general magic spells he got from the Dragon King of Tao River made him take a big step forward in the practice of the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang.
It would be enough for him to comprehend and practice for several days!
