Journey to the West: Reincarnation as a Woman in the Cleansing Spring (Limited Time)

Chapter 34 A Great Treasure at the Bottom of the Pool

Princess Wansheng opened the dragon's mouth and swallowed the green snail. The dragon's body changed in a flash, transforming into a beautiful woman.

Her body was covered in a blue robe conjured by magic, and her delicate eyebrows were furrowed.

She moved with light, graceful steps, slowly landing on the mountaintop.

Then, after looking around and seeing that no one was around, he reached down and touched his buttocks, carefully rubbing them while cursing angrily.

Lu Changgeng knew without even listening that they were praising him.

Princess Wansheng then sat cross-legged and meditated for a while before getting up to determine her direction and then riding the mist into the air.

It was nearly dusk. Lu Changgeng saw that she had left in the direction of Bibo Pool. After thinking for a moment, he took advantage of the twilight to follow Princess Wansheng at a distance, also flying towards Bibo Pool in the form of clouds and mist.

After flying for about half a day, the clouds ahead gradually lowered, and Princess Wansheng finally landed on the clouds in a secluded valley in the mountains.

Bibo Pool is located deep in the Luanshi Mountain, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The pool water is deep blue and the surface is shrouded in a thin mist all year round.

The lair of the Old Dragon of Ten Thousand Saints is hidden deep at the bottom of the pool, and is extremely difficult for ordinary people to find with the naked eye.

Although this Bibo Pool is called a pool, it is actually a vast body of water.

Lu Changgeng watched from afar as Princess Wansheng plunged into the Bibo Pool, disappearing without a trace after a ripple spread across the surface.

He waited for a long time above the pool to make sure there was no one else around before transforming into a very thin stream of water that clung to the mountain wall and seeped into the pool, following the scent of Princess Wansheng as he slithered along.

Beneath the Azure Wave Pool stands a Dragon Palace. However, calling it a Dragon Palace is merely a self-proclaimed title by the Old Dragon of Ten Thousand Saints. In reality, it is more like an underwater cave. The true Dragon Palace is the residence of the Four Seas Dragon Kings.

-

At this moment, at the bottom of the Azure Pool, deep within the Dragon Palace.

Princess Wansheng passed through the palace gate, and several fish demon guards at the Nascent Soul stage immediately bowed their heads in respect.

Wan Sheng ignored him and went straight into the main hall of the Dragon Palace.

An aged voice came from the side door inside the main hall.

"You're back?"

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints strolled out from the side of the hall, leaning on his cane.

He looked quite old, with white hair and beard, deep wrinkles on his face, a thin frame, and a slightly hunched back. Yet his pair of emerald-green vertical pupils remained clear and vigorous, exuding the unique majesty and profundity of a dragon.

He waved for the maid to leave, slowly sat down in the main seat, leaned his dragon-headed cane against the side of the chair, and looked her up and down.

"They've blown all four conch shells; they must have encountered something important. Are they hurt?"

"No." Princess Wansheng sat down in the guest seat, picked up her teacup and took a sip, then put the teacup down again. "He was some random country cultivator who appeared out of nowhere. I was careless and fell for his trick. It's nothing serious. As soon as I blew the conch shell, that fellow sensed my father's presence from afar and immediately ran away."

"A hermit cultivator from the countryside? You think you can just blow your own horn?" The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints raised an eyebrow, his tone now tinged with caution. "What's your background? What's your cultivation level? What methods did you use?"

"A rogue water spirit in the early stages of transformation, whose origins are..." She paused, "should be a water spirit, using water manipulation techniques, but also knows the Heavenly Court's Orthodox Weaving Cloud Technique, and has a strange set of footwork. His cultivation level is not high, but his magical power is profound, and his methods are quite cunning."

"Water spirits?" The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints stroked his beard and pondered.

He has always been averse to trouble and acts cautiously. Even Erlang Shen once said, "The Old Dragon of Ten Thousand Saints does not cause trouble." Therefore, upon hearing the words "Heavenly Court Weaving Clouds Technique," his brows furrowed involuntarily.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Could it be a mount or attendant of some deity from the celestial realm who secretly descended to the mortal world?"

"My daughter doesn't think so."

"How so?"

"When my daughter met him, he had just completed his transformation tribulation."

"Oh? You've already suffered a setback right after your tribulation?"

Princess Wansheng blushed slightly and shook the old dragon's sleeve: "Father, what do you mean by this? That wild cultivator is extremely cunning. I was caught off guard and fell into his trap. I almost didn't make it back, and you're still making fun of me..."

"Alright, alright, Father was wrong. Should Father ask a few old friends to investigate? Those old fogies can still give this old man some face."

"No need, Father." Princess Wansheng immediately refused, not wanting the whole demon world to know about the lost dragon.

"She's just a minor demon in the early stages of transformation; it's not worth bothering your old friends. I made the mistake myself, and I'll get my revenge. If Father could give me that treasure from the bottom of the pool, that would be even better."

"You...you mean that spear?" The old dragon looked at Princess Wansheng hesitantly. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he knew he had guessed correctly. He said in a deep voice, "That spear must not be touched. It is the treasure of our clan that guards the pool. It is like the sea-stabilizing treasure of the East Sea. It cannot be taken lightly."

"Besides, that spear was the personal weapon of the ancient god Gonggong. With your current cultivation level, you'd have difficulty even lifting it, let alone wielding it to kill enemies."

"Hmph, it's just a rusty, broken gun, and you treat it like a treasure."

"That's not right!" the old Dragon King said earnestly. "Legend has it that the great god Gonggong lost the struggle for the throne to Zhuanxu and angrily struck Buzhou Mountain, causing the Milky Way to overflow and the four seas to flood."

He then forged a war spear to resist it. It was made by mixing the Nine Heavens Dark Sea Weak Water with the Four Seas' fine gold and was engraved with the four characters "Dark Sea Canglan". It should be called the Dark Sea Canglan Spear. It was the divine weapon used by Gonggong to suppress the water and rule the water creatures of the world.

After Gonggong's death, this war spear sank into the deep abyss of the lower realm. After ten thousand years of being swept away by the dark currents, it finally sank to the bottom of the Bibo Pool in my Luanshi Mountain.

My father once traveled to the deep sea and found this spear by chance at the bottom of the cold abyss. He hid it away as a treasure to protect our clan. You must not touch it.

Besides, how could that gun be rusty? It was just a little trick my father used to prevent someone with ulterior motives from seeing through it…”

"Alright, alright... I'm tired of hearing your story. If Father doesn't want it, then so be it." Princess Wansheng pouted, immediately got up, and walked towards her boudoir.

"well……"

Old Dragon shook his head helplessly.

While the father and daughter were talking, a small bubble had been lurking in the shadows of the hall, unnoticed by the two dragons.

This bubble was naturally Lu Changgeng in disguise. After transforming, his aura became even more perfectly concealed, and he listened to everything that Wan Sheng and his daughter had said.

There was a great treasure at the bottom of this pool! Lu Changgeng was overjoyed; this trip hadn't been in vain!

He considered going directly to the bottom of the pool to see the spear, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate.

Firstly, the place where the guns are hidden must be heavily guarded, and there might be some kind of barrier that could break through the restrictions; secondly, the bottom of the pool is vast, and we don't know exactly where they are hidden. We should first find out the environment inside and outside this Dragon Palace.

If you want to get to know your surroundings, it's best to stick with someone you know well; no one knows him better than Princess Wansheng.

Seeing Princess Wansheng enter her boudoir, Lu Changgeng immediately decided to follow her in.

With a thought, a small bubble slowly floated up, mingling with the other bubbles, swaying from side to side, intentionally or unintentionally drifting slowly towards Princess Wansheng's boudoir.
