Dongsheng Shenzhou, Huaguo Mountain.

In the water curtain cave, the colorful lotus is in full bloom, and a young man in purple clothes sits by the pool, his eyes slightly closed, as if he is recuperating his spirits.

This person is Ao Qing. Now a thousand years have passed since the weak water disaster in the past, and he has also been awarded the title of Heavenly Venerable, which is not what it used to be.

A lot has happened in this millennium.

For example, Tu Shan's present life.

Yes, Tu Shan is here.

Although the Tushan clan has not completely emerged from the Heluo world, most of the fox clan has settled in Beiju Luzhou.

In the past, the creatures of Beiju Luzhou were almost swallowed up by weak water, and after a thousand years, it has almost become the territory of the Tushan Fox Clan.

Of course, among them, there is a lot of help from Ao Qing. Otherwise, no matter how weak Beiju Luzhou is, it is one of the four major continents after all, and it is difficult for the Tushan Fox Clan to really gain a foothold with only its own strength. However, with the existence of Ao Qing, it was finally done.

After all, Ao Qing is not only the Emperor of the East personally awarded by the Jade Emperor, but also has a good relationship with the great supernatural powers of the Three Sects. He is now the lord of the dragon clan and the head of the dragon kings of the ten directions.

The so-called "Dragon Kings of the Ten Directions" is actually not a fixed ten dragon kings, but a synonym for all the dragon kings in the Three Realms.

Even the Qinglong, one of the four spirits, and even the candle dragon in ancient times, must respect today's Ao Qing.

Yes, that includes candle dragons as well.

Since Ao Qing was personally named Tianzun by the Jade Emperor, the Ten Directions Divine Dragon has induction. The candle dragon is also one of them.

As early as a thousand years ago, Ao Qing personally visited the candle dragon. The candle dragon is located on the Zhangwei Mountain in the northwest of the overseas area, and its location is located between the West Sea and the North Sea.

The candle dragon is the mountain god of Zhangwei Mountain.

Speaking of which, this candle dragon also has a certain relationship with weak water. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Jedi Tiantong, the Gonggong anger touched the Zhou Mountain. The sky is tilted to the northwest, and the earth is sunk to the southeast.

At that time, the sky in the northwest was dark, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the people were struggling to make a living, so the candle dragon went to the northwest on the order of Taiyi, lit up the world and became the god of the northwest.

And the relationship between the candle dragon and the dragon clan is also quite ambiguous. He was originally the dragon of the mountains, but later he lit up the starry sky, and he became a dragon of the star palace like a green dragon. He didn't have dragon blood, so he wasn't a dragon in the first place.

But according to Ao Qing's "Vientiane Divine Dragon Dao", he still belongs to a part of the dragon clan. Even not only the candle dragon, the future emperor of the world is also within the scope of Ao Qing's "Vientiane Divine Dragon".

Because the dragon is a totem of the human race, it will naturally make the luck of the human race produce dragon veins. The Son of Heaven who gathers luck is naturally a dragon!

But that's another story.

In short, the candle dragon is almost such an experience. Chu Ci asked: If the day is not good, how can the candle dragon shine? The candle dragon illuminates the dark earth in the west when the sky is falling to the northwest.

After Dayu ruled the water, the heaven and the earth gradually leveled, and the land and even the Zhangwei Mountain have been escaped, until Ao Qing was enshrined in the heavens, and after reaching the holy realm, he found the traces of the candle dragon and asked him to join the dragon clan.

For Ao Qing's proposal, Candle Dragon did not refuse, but he did not agree either. Because he was ordered by Taiyi to suppress the northwest land, he didn't get Taiyi's order, so he didn't dare to leave without permission. Unless Taiyi personally ordered, the candle dragon was willing to listen to Ao Qing's dispatch.

For this statement, Ao Qinggu also agreed. Although he didn't know where to look for that Taiyi God, the candle dragon still had the heart to join the dragon clan.

What's more, Ao Qing is not completely clueless.

Thousands of years ago, the Tianhe Divine Dam was broken, weak water descended, and many ancient demons also broke the seal. With the help of Ao Qing, Zhang Guolao pressed the jellyfish Niangniang in Sizhou Town, and then found an ugly girl in Sizhou City.

Although this woman is ugly, her personality is very gentle. After the test of Lan Caihe and Zhang Guolao, it was discovered that this woman was Feng Yi, Hebo's wife!

And Hebo is naturally one of the subordinates of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the mythology of the Chu State.

In addition to the candle dragon, Feng Yi is quite related to the existence of many great gods in the mythology of the Chu State. Eventually, Ao Qing helped her and asked her to take care of parts of the Yellow River. When Feng Yi really attains the Tao in the future, he may be able to lead to Hebo, so as to know where the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is now.

Of course, these are actually not big things for Ao Qing. It can only be to a certain extent, which is beneficial to the dragons.

And now Ao Qing is actually decentralizing power in the dragon clan.

Since he was named Tianzun, although he is called the lord of the dragon clan, in fact, the four seas under Ao Qing's command, the mountains and rivers of the world, and the many dragon clans in the stars and heavens have a certain degree of autonomy.

It's just that they all take the Four Seas Dragon Clan as the core.

Ao Qing did not hold all the power in his own hands, but like the Zhou Dynasty, he divided the princes.

The star dragon vein is dominated by the green dragon, the mountain and river dragon vein is dominated by the candle dragon, the four seas dragon vein is dominated by the dragon king of the four seas, the five directions have the five elements of the dragon god, and the south of the province has Qixiang, Qiantang Jun and others......

Although if you want to, there is no one who will not follow Ao Qing's orders. But most of the time, Ao Qing will not get involved in the affairs of the dragon clan.

After all, the status of the dragon clan has been greatly improved now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has risen and revitalized.

When you get the Busan Harmony in the future, you can really connect with the luck of the human race, and at that time, even if you don't need Ao Qing, you can always survive.

And the so-called power Ao Qing doesn't care about it, so he is naturally happy to let it go.

However, although the matter of the dragon clan can indeed be said to be over. But Ao Qing's purpose is even clearer.

That's ...... Arrive at the "Dao" realm!

Break through what is "heaven and earth" and what is "avenue". In this way, the essence of this heaven and earth is comprehended.

Yes, like man, heaven and earth have a lifespan.

In this case, in fact, like people, heaven and earth can naturally be understood. If we can achieve this, then we may be able to understand the meaning of the existence of heaven and earth.

Even, epiphany "avenue". At that time, we can reversely trace the long river of time, cross eternity, and truly get transcendent.

And today's Ao Qing is cultivating and laying out for this purpose. Not only from the dragon clan, but also from the three sects, the demon path, and even from many great gods outside the world.

Before that, the "Journey to the West" thing is an excellent starting point.

"Amitabha, the little monk has seen the emperor."

Suddenly, a voice came from the water curtain cave.

Ao Qing turned around slightly, looked at the entrance of the cave, and saw an extraordinary-looking monk with his hands folded and facing him.

That person is the golden cicada!

However, compared with back then, the golden cicada at this time is a downturn.

His monk's robe was no longer white, but tattered, and the nine-ring tin staff in his hand was gone, leaving only a thick wooden stick.

"Little monk, I have come to bid farewell to the emperor."
