Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao

"Oh, now I remember, it's very similar to the aura of Hong Jun," Great Chun King seemed to be murmuring to himself.

Lu Yu, however, was startled by these words, secretly pondering in his heart. He wondered if Ancestral Master Hong Jun could be a transmigrator as well, but one could not be sure. Such transcendent figures were beyond description in words, having escaped the bounds of time, it was possible they bore an aura from the future.

"As one ages, one often reflects on the past," Great Chun King said with a smile and a sigh.

"With all due respect to my senior's extensive experience and knowledge," Lu Yu was deeply disturbed by the previous conversation and did not know what to say, only managing a clumsy reply.

Seeing that Lu Yu was distracted, Great Chun King chuckled softly, "Would you like me to send you out?"

Lu Yu sighed in relief, afraid that the Great Chun King would persist in questioning about his aura, only to let it pass so lightly.

He quickly bowed to Great Chun King, "That would be most kind, senior!" Following that, a passage appeared, and with one step, Lu Yu left this world through the vortex.

After his departure, the entire world was plunged into tranquility, with only Great Chun King standing between heaven and earth, bathed in thunder.

At that moment, Great Chun King suddenly said, "Old bat, aren't you leaving?"

From the Sea of Thunder, an old man riding a donkey backwards emerged, his face bearing a child-like grin. "You old tree, still as boring as ever. I'm not just some 'old bat' anymore, I have my own name now, Zhang Guolao," he said.

"Zhang Guolao? Why would you choose such a name?" Great Chun King seemed very familiar with Zhang Guolao, his tone carrying a hint of puzzlement.

"There's a great deal to this name, but as to why, Heaven's Secret should not be revealed," Zhang Guolao said smugly.

"Don't think I don't know, you clearly have ties with the other two young ones who came before. If I am not mistaken, it must be related to a great change in the heavens and the earth," the Great Chun King said.

"Haha, cannot say, cannot say, for now, I'll just stick to Zhang Guolao, don't call me old bat anymore," Zhang Guolao said, laughing as he waved his hands.

"Hmm! I haven't settled scores with you yet. I was sleeping peacefully, and you woke me from my deep slumber. How should we settle this account?"

"I was helping you. If I hadn't woken you up, that creature would have shattered this world, and then you wouldn't find a good place to sleep. I didn't even ask for a reward, yet you want to settle accounts with me," Zhang Guolao said indignantly.

Great Chun King began to sway his branches, ready to teach this fellow a lesson, but before he could make a move, Zhang Guolao had already ridden off on his donkey, even taking one of Great Chun King's branches with him.

"Old tree, this branch of yours is nice, just right for a whip." His voice echoed in the Thunder Sea, and his figure had vanished into the vortex.

"The world is finally at peace, oh, forgot about that little fellow, Hydra. Oh well, just throw him out," Great Chun King then remembered that there was still the Hydra in this world.

At this moment, Hydra was wandering in the Sea of Blood with a dejected look on his face. Since the monster was slain by the phantom of Heavenly Venerable, the Sea of Blood seemed to have lost its Spiritual Nature, having become utterly desolate.

It was only now that he suddenly realized he had no way to leave this world. At that thought, panic instantly took hold of him. After all, how could this silent world be as enticing as the vibrant world outside? If he were to be trapped here for hundreds of years, he figured he would go mad.

Just then, a tremendous force suddenly struck him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a branch wrapped in Thunder, and the towering figure of Great Chun King flashed through his mind, sending a chill over his heart.

However, the death he imagined did not come. Instead, he was flung by the force and instantly fell into a vortex, where he could faintly hear an old yet slightly annoyed voice, "Oh no, I sent him to the wrong place. It seems to be the Western Sea. Never mind, sleep is more important."

When he opened his eyes, he found himself above a vast ocean, with blue skies and seas, clusters of white clouds, and a breeze blowing from afar, which almost moved him to tears. He had finally escaped that dreadful place and no longer had to endure the loneliness and silence.

Yet, the thought of confidently preparing to become a powerful being, only to find that it was all a ruse, and feeling like a fool being played, made him feel utterly disheartened, diminishing even the joy of having just escaped from death.

"Princess, this is the Western Sea. It's much bigger than our Green Wave Pool. Once you marry the Third Prince, part of this marine territory will be yours," a young girl's voice rang out not far away.

"That's nice. Why don't you marry him then? I have no interest in the West Sea Dragon Palace. They are all cowards, a disgrace to the name of the Dragon Clan. My ideal person must be a heroic figure," replied a melodious voice, like that of a warbler, instantly healing Hydra's melancholic heart.

Looking in the direction of the voice, there was a stunning woman with a maid, wandering by the shore of the Western Sea. The woman was strikingly beautiful, with flowing garments and sparkling eyes, adorned with a pair of small dragon horns on her head.

The moment Hydra saw this woman, his eyes widened, feeling as though he had found a new direction in life. His desolate heart was revitalized,

Immediately, he whipped up a Demon Wind, sweeping across the heavens and earth, and instantly flew to the woman's side, kidnapping her.

That day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the Western Sea. The fiancée of the Western Sea Third Prince was kidnapped, her whereabouts unknown. The West Sea Dragon Palace issued a warrant, offering a reward for capturing this Mysterious Figure, willing to give a treasure from the Dragon Palace in exchange.

At this time, the Third Prince of the Western Sea was still practicing spells in the Dragon Palace, completely unaware that his destiny had just been significantly altered in the unseen forces and that his peaceful and beautiful life would soon drift far away from him.

In Kyushu, above Dongting Lake, Lu Yu left the Thunder World, stepping out into another realm.

Dongting Lake was tranquil, the surface untroubled, with birds flying across the sky but never stopping, the world around quiet.

Lu Yu lay on the grass by the shore of Dongting Lake, emptying his mind. In recent times, events had been unfolding one after another, keeping his mind constantly tense. A rare moment of leisure like this was particularly valued, especially since discovering the Ancestral Master might be a transmigrator, which had particularly shaken him, necessitating a good period of rest.

However, before he could rest for long, the sky suddenly twinkled with stars, competing with the sun and moon. In a place unseen by others, countless stars descended to the mundane world, landing upon newborns.

"The stars compete for brilliance, and the Heavenly Star takes its place. A great era is about to begin!" Lu Yu muttered to himself as he watched the scene unfold. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
