Chapter 61: Taking Out Anger
Half a month later, Li Anran's life returned to normal again.
Every day he listened to sermons, read Taoist scriptures, and practiced magic, all with the goal of successfully practicing the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang as soon as possible.
The heavenly soldiers and generals in the Heavenly Prison unexpectedly stood in front of him that day.
He also returned the favor.
He also searched for several remote temples, and not only set up the Ziwei Star Fighting Formation to isolate the evil spirit, but also set up a spirit gathering formation to provide the heavenly soldiers with a better environment for training when they were not on duty.
This made his prestige in the Heavenly Prison even greater.
The only one who was in some trouble was the Monkey King.
After its thousand-year-old cultivation was taken away by the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, its intelligence was greatly reduced, and it was only slightly smarter than an ordinary monkey.
He jumped up and down in the cell every day, squeaking non-stop.
In order to prevent the money tree from dying accidentally, Li Anran had to ask the heavenly soldiers for some food to feed it.
After a few interactions, the Monkey King became familiar with him and would rush forward when he saw him, showing great enthusiasm.
During this period, Li Jing and Nezha also returned to the court.
Although they captured the Changhe Dragon King and other water dragon kings, and flattened the Emperor Sang Mountain and the Shishui Abyss owned by the Jiao Demon King, the Jiao Demon King still broke out of the encirclement, fled to the North Sea, and his whereabouts are unknown.
This reduces their contribution.
In a rage, Li Jing killed all the demons and monsters under the command of Jiao Demon King on the spot, and burned down the Jiao Demon King's cave. Only then did he reluctantly withdrew his troops and returned to heaven to apologize to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor did not blame them. After comforting them, he gave them a lot of rewards.
At the same time, an order was issued to the Temple of the God of Justice, asking it to continue investigating the origins and whereabouts of the Demon King Jiao.
He also issued an order, ordering the powerful ghost king and the heavenly soldiers and others to escort the water dragon kings to the Dragon-Slaying Platform and chop their bodies into pieces.
Li Anran's daily experience gain was therefore reduced by nearly 200,000, but he also gained 14 opportunities to draw extra rewards.
[Congratulations on obtaining the Changhe Dragon King's reverse scale! ]
[Congratulations on obtaining the qualifications of Baihe Shuijun! ]
[Congratulations on gaining the power of the Taohe Dragon King! ]
[Congratulations on obtaining the spell "Call the Wind and Rain"! ]
…
Among these rewards, the most valuable ones are attribute bonuses such as "qualification" and "strength".
But, unfortunately, what he drew was not the qualifications and power of the Changhe Dragon King, but only the qualifications of the Baihe Water Lord and the power of the Taohe Dragon King.
However, even so, his qualifications were raised to a higher level, reaching the standard of a four-tailed fox that he himself classified.
The external manifestation is that the "Hehuan" technique has made rapid progress again.
In at most half a month, he would be able to master one more magical power and save one more life.
The improvement in strength is even more exaggerated and obvious.
Although the Taohe Dragon King has only reached the True Immortal realm, it is a dragon after all. Without using magic power, its physical strength is more than ten times that of Li Anran!
And all of this now belongs to Li Anran.
As for other rewards, they are somewhat useless.
The Changhe Dragon King's reverse scale is a material for refining weapons, and he has no use for it now.
He has also mastered the ability to call the wind and rain, and his mastery is even deeper than that of the Dragon King. It would be a waste if he drew from it.
The other rewards were similar. Either Li Anran could not use them for the time being, or they were completely useless.
When these prisoners were escorted to the Gulongtai, Li Anran also went with them.
It was not out of curiosity, but he wanted to know whether there would be any changes to the body of the Changhe Dragon King after he drew these extra rewards, such as the Changhe Dragon King's reverse scale.
It turns out, no.
The reverse scale on the body of Changhe Dragon King still exists, and his extra reward seems to have appeared out of thin air.
It’s very unscientific, but very systematic and reassuring.
Li Anran returned to the Heavenly Prison and saw that it was already noon, so he found some food and fed it to the Monkey King.
I have to say that after transforming into his original form, the Monkey King is still quite handsome.
It has golden hair, a ruby face, and a long tail that swings back and forth when it is happy.
But it is very good at pleasing people. When it saw Li Anran coming, it started dancing with joy. Its happy energy is absolutely unique in this prison.
"No wonder the king kept it as a pet."
Li Anran did not have much contact with it. He fed it food with an expressionless face and returned to the quiet room.
This Monkey King has killed and eaten countless people, and his sins are grave. Now that he has no magical powers, he will be sent to the demon-slaying platform sooner or later.
From this perspective, the Monkey King's loss of his spiritual power might not be a bad thing for him.
At least, it doesn't have to eat copper balls, drink iron juice, or suffer various punishments.
Time passes quickly in this dull life.
In a blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
The traps and mechanisms destroyed by the Monkey King have been rebuilt by Zhang Lu's Second Team, and all the checkpoints have been reinforced again.
It is hard to say how useful it is, but at least it looks like it is armed to the teeth and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
On this day, Li Anran was practicing in the quiet room as usual, when he suddenly heard a celestial soldier outside report: "Sir, Generals Guo Shen and Zhi Jian are escorting the monster to the outside of the celestial prison."
Li Anran stood up suddenly, overjoyed: "Finally here!"
Li Anran hurriedly walked to the entrance of the Heavenly Prison, and at a glance he saw the Demon King Peng, who was tied up by Guo Shenzhi.
Compared with the original King Yuxiong, this Demon King Peng is much more miserable.
Not only was its scapula and dantian pierced, sealing its magical powers, but its two arms were also cut off at the shoulders, exposing its white bones and bleeding. It seemed that its consciousness was not clear, and it needed the support of two grass-headed gods to stand firmly.
Li Anran's first reaction was how fierce the battle must have been to have injured Demon King Peng so badly.
But soon, he noticed that Guo Shenzhijian only had some superficial injuries on his body.
This is obviously inconsistent with the tragedy.
"General Guo Shen, General Zhi Jian."
Li Anran suppressed the doubts in his heart and stepped forward to bow.
Guo Shen and Zhi Jian have learned from Yang Jian that Li Anran had seen through their transformation skills, but he tied them up like dumplings on purpose because he did not want to get involved in the fight between Yang Jian and Qiu Yin.
Seeing Li Anran at this time, Guo Shen was obviously a little embarrassed.
Zhi Jian didn't care about these things, and took the initiative to apologize: "Brother Li, we were too smart and almost caused big trouble for you and the Second Master. I'm here to apologize to you!"
Li Anran said he didn't dare.
Zhi Jian added, "Brother Li, before we came here, the Second Master specifically told us to treat you as our own brother. There's no need for us to be so distant with each other!"
After he said this, Li Anran immediately changed his tone and started calling him "Fifth Brother" and "Sixth Brother".
The relationship between the two sides suddenly became much closer.
Afterwards, Li Anran asked if the trip was going well.
Li Anran was Yang Jian's personal man.
Guo Shenzhijian also had a lot to say in his heart.
After Li Anran asked this question, they could no longer hold back and started talking nonstop.
"Brother Li, you don't know what we encountered this time..."
As Guo Shenzhijian told the story, Li Anran quickly understood what was going on.
The reason why Demon King Peng was so miserable was not because their battle was so brutal.
Although Demon King Peng was fast, he could not escape Yang Jian's divine eye. With the help of Roaring Sky Dog's sneak attack from the side, Yang Jian captured Demon King Peng without much effort.
The reason it ended up like this was entirely because it was a big peng and Yang Jian took his anger out on it.
The reason for his anger was the golden-winged Roc!
"We have been planning for more than a month in Xiniu Hezhou. We have finally cleared out its peripheral forces without alerting the Demon King Peng. We are just waiting to charge towards Fuyao Cave and capture the remaining monsters in one fell swoop."
"As a result, the Second Master noticed that there was a huge amount of resentment coming from the direction of the Lion Country, rising straight into the sky. Using his heavenly eyes, he discovered that a golden-winged Peng bird had swallowed millions of civil and military officials and common people from the Lion Country into its belly!"
When Guo Shenzhijian talked about this incident, he was still frightened, with a hint of fear hidden in his anger and hatred.
Obviously, they were also frightened by the ferocity and wantonness of the golden-winged Roc!
"Second Master didn't bother to care about the Demon King Peng anymore and flew directly to the Lion Country..."
