Chapter 114: Chapter 110: King Wu Meets the Four Sea Dragon Kings, The Ninth Abyss Takes on a Disciple

The Fusang Golden Chicken saw Song Lin, its massive wings spanning a thousand meters instantly spread open, its beak emitting a glow, displaying an incredibly aggressive appearance.

"Divine Beast, no need to rush, I am the Kunlun Deity!"

As he spoke, a pattern appeared on Song Lin’s brow.

"Kunlun Deity?" The Golden Chicken took notice of the mark on Song Lin’s brow and became intrigued. "So you’ve finally arrived, no wonder you were able to awaken me!"

"You recognize me?"

"Not really, but Muu Emperor mentioned that one day someone would awaken me." The Fusang Golden Chicken’s form shrunk until it was half the height of a man, and its sparkling eyes stared at Song Lin. "Have you found the Jade Chicken and Stone Chicken?"

"What are those?"

"You don’t know?"

"Not a clue."

Song Lin explained the reason he came to this place.

"Shentu and Yulei? I could suppress Ghost Gate and completely liberate them with just a single crow."

"But..." The Fusang Golden Chicken changed its tone, "Currently, I’m not able to crow—I’m missing the Jade Chicken and Stone Chicken."

Ancient texts say: The Fusang Mountain holds the Jade Chicken; when the Jade Chicken crows, the Golden Chicken crows; when the Golden Chicken crows, the Stone Chicken crows; when the Stone Chicken crows, all chickens in the world crow, and the tides will respond.

In summary, without the other two chickens, it cannot crow.

"You are the destined person foretold by prophecy. The mission of finding the two chickens is now entrusted to you!" exclaimed the Fusang Golden Chicken.

"Perhaps, but where are those two items?"

Song Lin felt a bit exasperated. Why did it seem like he was turning into Tang Seng, constantly being sent on missions to save others?

"Tianzhu, with the Four Great Arhats!"

"Arhats? And four of them?"

This meant facing four experts at the Core Formation Stage.

"What’s the big deal? There are also four Dragon Kings."

Seeing Song Lin’s apparent confusion, the Fusang Golden Chicken began to recount, revealing all the ancient secrets before the time of legends.

It turned out that Song Lin was possibly the last Kunlun Deity in the world. Even if it truly thought Song Lin was weak, the final hope rested with him—there was no other choice.

Before the ancient times, King Wu of Zhou had ordered the establishment of the capital Luoo.

The construction consumed vast amounts of manpower and resources, yet the progress went smoothly.

One day, four strange individuals arrived in coral-drawn carriages to meet King Wu.

Each carriage had pairs of horses in different colors, and they were accompanied by several white-haired youths.

The strangers immediately asked, "Do you know our identity?"

King Wu truthfully replied that he did not.

To his surprise, the strangers flew into fury. In an instant, storms arose, tearing down all the newly constructed buildings.

"You’d better listen closely. If you fail to recognize us, a great flood will destroy your kingdom!"

"I am Xuanming, God of the North Sea!"

"I am Ju Mang, God of the East Sea!"

"I am Ruishou, God of the West Sea!"

"I am Zhuu Rong, God of the South Sea!"

The four demanded that King Wu sacrifice 3,000 slaves every ten years in accordance with Yin Shang’s rituals.

At that time, King Wu still had Jiangg Taigong by his side.

Jiangg Taigong declared, "Demons and wicked creatures! This era is not like the past! Heaven’s mandate has changed, and the connection between heaven and earth is severed! You imposters masquerading as ancient gods!"

As his words fell, the four deities transformed into divine dragons and soared into the sky, leaving behind a threat: "In forty days, floods shall annihilate your kingdom!"

"What happened next? Did the Four Dragon Kings retaliate? And at what level were they?" asked Song Lin.

"Probably immortals... the forty days haven’t yet passed."

It turns out the Four Dragon Kings are associated with the Buddhist Sect, originating from the Four Heavenly King Heaven.

When the Zhou Dynasty was founded, the Four Heavenly Kings wished for the Dragon Kings to descend and preach, but King Wu of Zhou didn’t accept their methods.

Furthermore, they couldn’t resort to force as the Zhou Dynasty had just been established and held numerical dominance.

"This realm cannot bear immortals. The Four Dragon Kings now sleep within Four Heavenly King Heaven, where fifty mortal years equate to only one day in their realm. So ’forty days’ equates to two thousand years in mortal terms."

The Fusang Golden Chicken went on to say:

"There should still be another three hundred years before the Four Dragon Kings awaken. Our priority is to first seize control of Ghost Gate and recover the other two chickens. Otherwise, before the Four Dragon Kings emerge, their followers might already dominate the world."

"I see."

At this point, Song Lin finally understood.

The key to this mission was not merely the revitalization of the Taoist School; the primary task was to defeat the Four Great Arhats.

Once the Four Great Arhats were defeated and the two chickens recovered, those liberated could guard the Central Plains, fulfilling the karmic cycle.

As for the later Four Dragon Kings, they likely wouldn’t appear in this realm.

True immortals, perhaps even stronger than the Purple Mansion realm, possessed the ability to annihilate this world entirely.

However, Song Lin’s most pressing concern wasn’t about that.

"What opportunity did Muu Emperor leave behind?"

"Opportunity?" The Fusang Golden Chicken sized Song Lin up and mentioned, "You seem to need Pure Yang Qi. I have the Golden Crow Yang Pattern here. With this pattern, you’ll be equivalent to a ninth-grade Penglai Martial Officer and can freely absorb Pure Yang Qi from Tangg Valley."

Pure Yang Qi is the most absolute Yang energy under the heavens, resolutely powerful and blazing.

Once endowed with the Golden Crow Yang Pattern, it signifies recognition by the Golden Crow, allowing absorption of Pure Yang Qi through the pattern.

Song Lin pondered internally—it was yet another type of official capacity bestowed through empowerment.

The Moon Cultivation Great Witch mark on his brow could already be carried over into the real world. Could the Golden Crow Yang Pattern function similarly?

If that were the case, it might save him from additional karma altogether.

Considering this, Song Lin bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Divine Beast!"

"Come here!"

The Fusang Golden Chicken gestured for Song Lin to approach the Fusang Tree.

Under the tree, Song Lin sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.

The Fusang Golden Chicken chanted peculiar incantations.

Vaguely, a golden sun could be glimpsed.

Sunlight seeped into every crevice, enveloping his entire body.

In the real world, he felt an intense warmth, followed by a surge of overwhelming heat.

Song Lin felt as if he were inside a furnace—the raging flames melting and reforging his physical form.

After what seemed a long while, the heat dissipated.

Song Lin opened his eyes, went to a stream nearby, and gazed at his reflection. On his forehead was a radiant, golden pattern resembling the sun, yet it also looked like a soaring three-legged divine bird, vividly lifelike.

[Golden Crow Yang Pattern]: Possessing this mark is equivalent to being a ninth-grade Penglai Martial Officer, capable of absorbing Innate Pure Yang Qi. Activating the pattern grants Taiyang Golden Pupils, which can discern all corrupt transformations and reveal absolute truths.

With this newly acquired mark, the speed of Spirit Refining increased tenfold.

Additionally, cultivation could now happen anytime, anywhere, unrestricted by Tangg Valley.

For the next few days, Song Lin remained there, deeply attuned to the mark.

At that moment, news arrived from the real world.

...

Hidden Sword Manor.

In the grand hall, Jiuyou sat leisurely on the main seat, sizing Song Lin up.

"Song Lin! I intend to accept you as a disciple! Tomorrow, the formal induction ceremony will be held!"
