Chapter 32: Of the Three Thousand Waters, Not Even a Goose Feather Floats!

That day, the rain still did not fall!

School ended at the Dao Academy, and Luo Zhou returned home.

Dean Zhao was not here today; otherwise, he could have had a good chat with him.

Returning home, Luo Zhou waited in silence.

Gradually, midnight arrived, and from within the courtyard came a loud, surging sound.

Over a thousand children had climbed up here.

They were packed so densely that there was almost no place to stand.

Chattering and noisy, the sound was so chaotic that Luo Zhou felt he was going mad.

They came before Luo Zhou, lightly touching him, passing something over...

Once the contact was finished, the Deathly Spirits were liberated, slowly transforming back into their forms from before their deaths.

One by one, the children returned to their normal appearances.

They looked at Luo Zhou with gratitude, thanks, bows, and salutations.

Looking at them, Luo Zhou took out two items.

With the Beimang Ritual Feast, a banquet appeared, containing pig heads, sheep heads, ox heads, pastries, fresh flowers, fruit...

All of them were made of paper, shimmering brightly, slowly burning and turning into blue smoke that rose leisurely.

Luo Zhou then took out the Soul-Crossing Incense and lit it slowly.

He had bought this specifically!

"Everyone, please have a bite. You are all children; don't go hungry on your journey. I prepared this specially for you. Others do not get this treatment; only you do. It cost a full two spirit stones, after all. Everyone, your vengeance has been avenged. Go now, enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

The Beimang Ritual Feast and the Soul-Crossing Incense emitted spiritual energy.

Many children ate, and some even began to cry, calling out for "Mama" and "Mother."

Then, one by one, they vanished, slowly dispersing to return to the cycle of reincarnation!

The Deathly Spirits all dissipated.

"Luo Zhou, sensing the plea for help from the dead; spirits have committed evil, punish them!"

"Punish the evil, slay the parasite Liu Changlong; reward the good!"

"The rewarding of good and punishing of evil is complete. Reward!"

Essence, Qi, and Spirit!

As the Essence entered his body, Luo Zhou's entire being underwent a silent evolution.

Flesh, bone, the five senses, meridians, limbs, internal organs, spirit, and soul—everything was incrementally strengthened and enhanced as the Essence was injected.

In truth, this shared a similar principle with the cultivation technique passed to him by Immortal Wang earlier today.

However, this was safer and provided several times more enhancement than Immortal Wang's method.

As the Qi entered his dantian, he received strands of True Qi.

Weak Water Qi!

"To the north of Kunlun lies water, whose force cannot overcome even a mustard seed; hence it is named Weak Water."

The poison of Weak Water: not even a goose feather can float upon it, and even Immortals and Buddhas find it difficult to cross.

A total of twenty-four strands of Weak Water Qi arrived.

The True Qi within Luo Zhou's dantian consisted of

Eleven strands of Heaven-Erosion Qi, eleven strands of Earth-Borer Qi, nine strands of Heavy Water Qi, eighteen strands of Heaven-Water Qi, twenty-six strands of Tide Qi, and twenty-four strands of Weak Water Qi.

Exactly ninety-nine strands of True Qi!

As for the Spirit, Liu Changlong's various life experiences, cultivation insights, and special skills transformed into strands of divine sense, injecting into Luo Zhou's mind to become his life experience.

Liu Changlong was truly a recluse. Despite being a gang leader, he barely managed anything; if he could lie down, he would never sit, and he could go his entire life without ever leaving his house.

He had no wives or concubines and fathered no children; he cultivated alone.

The only thing he could actually show for his life was his carpentry, as he could craft all sorts of furniture.

His various memories regarding the Jellyfish Heavenly Palace were chaotic and disorganized, as oaths and curses had been placed upon him to prevent his soul from being searched if he were exposed.

His cultivation methods were the same; due to the oath curses, they could not be passed on.

Luo Zhou only knew that his cultivation method was called "The Hundred Rebirths of Cloud Peaks and Water Ravines," which, like Luo Zhou's secret manual "Green Water Flows East and Returns Here," was a supreme method of the same grade from the Jellyfish Heavenly Palace.

However, there was one great benefit that Luo Zhou obtained.

That was Liu Changlong's innate divine ability: "Three Thousand Weak Waters."

This was his innate life-bound divine ability, awakened through his bloodline, so it was not controlled by the opponent's curses and was thus passed to Luo Zhou.

Three thousand weak waters, not even a goose feather rises!

It could create a water domain, and within this domain, all laws and divine abilities would dissipate.

Luo Zhou tested it; the area of the domain was a circular water zone with a radius of one zhang surrounding his front and back.

However, this method required the True Qi used to be Weak Water Qi.

Luo Zhou was overjoyed; he had gained another divine ability.

Still, why did he feel like he was becoming more and more of a Holy Son of the Jellyfish Heavenly Palace?

Having obtained Liu Changlong's legacy, Luo Zhou was very happy. After cultivating for a while, he went to sleep.

Looking at the weather outside, there would surely be a heavy rainstorm tomorrow.

Tomorrow would be the day the Old Crocodile Dragon met its end!

While sleeping at night, in a trance, the Eternal Sea of Fire appeared again.

Liu Changlong was slowly sent into the sea of fire to be refined, turning into a single flame wandering within the sea of fire.

But hadn't Liu Changlong's Essence, Qi, and Spirit been eaten by the Deathly Spirits and passed to me?

What exactly is this?

Is it a case of "one person, multiple servings"?

Will every enemy I kill turn into a flame within the Eternal Sea of Fire?

What is the benefit of becoming a flame?

Luo Zhou did not know. He would take it slow; as long as he could survive, he would find out sooner or later!

The second day of the seventh month—only one day left!

Sure enough, starting from early morning, it began to rain. It started small, just a pitter-patter, then grew heavier and heavier.

Luo Zhou got up and looked outside; today was the decisive battle.

Either he died, or the Old Dragon perished!

Then, it was time to set out.

He put on a straw raincoat, slung three leveling staffs over his back, and set off into the rain.

He soon arrived at Submerged Bay, the place of the dragon-slaying in his memories.

He would wait here to ambush the Old Crocodile Dragon.

In fact, Luo Zhou had been here countless times over these past few days to familiarize himself with the environment.

The heavy rain grew stronger, with thunder occasionally crashing down.

Luo Zhou took out an Invisibility Talisman and quietly activated it.

With one Invisibility Talisman, as long as Luo Zhou remained still, he could maintain invisibility for three hours.

However, despite the straw raincoat, the torrential rain meant one talisman could only last a maximum of an hour and a half.

But Luo Zhou was not afraid; he had six Invisibility Talismans, three Flying Talismans, and three Transformation Talismans on him.

If he didn't spend his spirit stones, were they meant for the corpse collectors?

He would spend these spirit stones to transform them into his own strength.

Time passed bit by bit, and the effect of the Invisibility Talisman began to fail.

Luo Zhou activated another Invisibility Talisman.

The rain was not quite as heavy now, gradually turning into a light drizzle.

However, the river ahead had surged; the originally calm riverbed had become a rushing torrent.

During this hour and a half, not a single person passed by.

Even a fool knew that the Rain Night Demon would come out to eat people on rainy nights; walking on the riverbanks, bridges, or lakes at this time was seeking death.

Although the Crocodile Dragon was called the Rain Night Demon, it also came out during the day.

You might think you are safe if you aren't on the shore, but it can easily crawl onto land and move about.

The careless and the unbelievers were already dead!

Continuing to wait, around noon, Luo Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the river, something was swimming against the current!

It was the Old Crocodile Dragon!

At this moment, however, it had transformed into the size of a small dog, swimming upstream along the river.

Looking at it, the dog-sized Old Crocodile Dragon actually looked quite cute and adorable.

But whoever encountered it would find it to be their last meeting.

For many years, the Old Crocodile Dragon had eaten people silently, leaving nothing behind.

Ten years ago, perhaps it had grown tired of eating humans and began leaving corpses, which is why it earned the title of the Rain Night Demon.

Luo Zhou remained motionless, fully focused, holding the Dragon-Slaying Spike and waiting silently.

The Old Crocodile Dragon swam through the river unhurriedly.

It seemed to be cruising through its territory with leisure.

It paid no attention to anything on the riverbank; it was simply eating and playing!

Suddenly, great tides appeared around it, waves surging as if a massive peak were crashing through.

Someone roared, "Turning the rivers and seas, the giant waves reach the heavens!"

The Old Crocodile Dragon smiled. Is the fun starting?

Someone else has come to slay the dragon!

Monthly tickets—do you have any? Give me one!
