Buddha is the Tao

This bronze Dharma wheel is the hub for controlling the bronze bell. It is hung on the bronze ring, just like a bell inside the bell. It is perfect. Only when the two magic weapons are combined can the full power of the bronze bell be restored. Zhou Qing fully understood the trick and decided to catch the Great Sage Jiao Demon King and his subordinates in one fell swoop.

Zhou Qing used his primordial spirit to refine the Dharma wheel every day. He was familiar with the secret of the bronze bell, but he did not control it. He still did not come out inside to confuse Jiao Demon King. He only waited for the opportunity to attack him by surprise. Although Jiao Demon King had a way to control the bronze bell, it was very superficial. Without the Dharma wheel, the bronze bell was not complete, and Jiao Demon King could not refine it. He had no way of knowing Zhou Qing's movements inside the bronze bell. He just sent the navy to guard it strictly every day. Thousands of large-scale forbidden methods were arranged outside the bronze bell. At least 100,000 demon soldiers took turns to watch over it. They were all masters who had cultivated the immortal way.

At this time, the Jiao Demon King did not discuss with Zhou Qing, but just launched water, fire, wind and thunder to refine every day, and sent the green Jiao to Jilei Mountain to invite the Bull Demon King.

Zhou Qing was not afraid at all, and he was able to separate his divine consciousness and quietly observe the movements of the entire Water Palace through the bronze bell. Although there were masters setting up restrictions around and demon fairy sailors guarding, Zhou Qing's divine consciousness was ethereal and unpredictable, and his skills were much higher than theirs. After several careful tests, he naturally avoided the restrictions and roughly understood the situation of the entire Water Palace.

However, outside the Water Palace, the cold water was surging, and the entire North Sea Hell was wider than the land, with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles. After all, Zhou Qing was not a leader-level figure, so he did not have the ability to know everything. Even if he used all his divine powers, he could only sense the movements within a radius of 500,000 miles. Even so, Zhou Qing was still surprised by the methods and power of the Jiao Demon King.

This water palace has a radius of 5,000 miles, which is more than ten times larger than the Jade Pillar Immortal Palace. Of course, it is not as abnormal as the Jade Pillar Immortal Palace. The materials of the Jade Pillar Immortal Palace are all natural treasures, and they are the best materials for making magic weapons. No matter how rich and extravagant the Jiao Demon King is, it is impossible to find ten times the materials to build the water palace.

Although it is ordinary materials, it is also mixed with weapon refining techniques. The steps and railings of the entire water palace, the altar of the main hall, are connected layer by layer, beautiful and brilliant, with blue light flashing. One by one, the water-proof pillars are propped up, like a cover, isolating all the water.

With the Water Palace as the center, there are almost 100,000 miles of territory around, and underwater cities stand tall. Countless water monsters come and go among them, and there are teams of soldiers guarding them, just like an underwater country. This is the monster kingdom built by the Jiao Demon King with great effort, imitating the secular world. He also specially invited demon immortals who have achieved success in cultivation to open a school in the city to teach the way of cultivation, so that the water tribe can grow rapidly in order to strengthen his own power.

"This is the demeanor that the demon saint should have. It's a pity that the Bull Demon King, although powerful, is too ostentatious."

While Zhou Qing was surprised, he also admired the Jiao Demon King a little. He didn't know how the Jiao Demon King hid these things when he was chasing the Green Jiao. He didn't even feel it. Although he was chasing from top to bottom, there were some clues that didn't let him notice at all. It was really well planned.

The Bull Demon King had his own monster kingdom in Xiniu Hezhou, but it was destroyed by Buddhism. His current power is far less than that of the Jiao Demon King who has been planning for tens of thousands of years. In particular, the Jiao Demon King is a monster left behind in the ancient great war. He even got the magic weapon of Donghuang Taiyi. He must have some hidden treasures. After tens of thousands of years of hard work and plunder, it is no wonder that the four sea dragon kings can't do anything.

After a little understanding of the power of the Jiao Demon King, Zhou Qing felt that his plan might not succeed. It was impossible to completely cut off the foundation of this guy.

"Well, well, even if I can't kill him, I have to make this Jiao Demon King suffer a big loss, otherwise I will suffer this big loss in vain!"

Zhou Qing began to recalculate, and the divine consciousness he sent out changed. He focused on sweeping around in the water palace and carefully looking for places where treasures were collected.

In addition to a bamboo stick, Zhou Qing's magic weapons, except for this Dharma wheel, are a few robes, a few bottles of elixirs, and the Twelve Hades Flags. In addition, all the magic weapons are placed in Black Wind Mountain. Originally, when he was alone, he was relatively rich, but now that he has a sect and tens of thousands of disciples, no matter how many magic weapons he has, they are not enough.

Moreover, Zhou Qing has only been in the earthly immortal world for a few decades, and the mountains are all robbed by others. His foundation is pitifully shallow. Compared with these big monsters who have been operating for thousands of years, he is really not as good as them.

Besides, those magic weapons are useless to Zhou Qing's current Taoism. After practicing the changes of the Heavenly Dao, his physical body is much stronger than those magic weapons, and the power is much greater. It is better to give them to his disciples for protection.

The Jiao Demon King had to practice diligently every day, either to hone his soul or to strengthen his body. However, the place where the Jiao Demon King practiced was too tightly guarded, and deep underground, which triggered the Taiyin Yuan magnetic blockade in the earth's lungs. Even Zhou Qing's divine thoughts did not dare to penetrate.

Only once, the Jiao Demon King came out, and he had not yet changed his true form. Zhou Qing saw clearly in an instant that it was a nine-clawed golden dragon with two golden horns on its head, and it looked like the nine-clawed golden dragon on the bronze bell that pulled the cart for Donghuang Taiyi.

"No wonder this guy has Donghuang Taiyi's magic weapon. It turns out that he is a coolie who pulls the cart. He is not a small person!" Zhou Qing laughed in his heart.

The Jiao Demon King had no idea that his every move was under the surveillance of others, so he was complacent and just waited for the Qing Jiao to pass on the news that the Bull Demon King had captured Zhou Qing's disciples, and then he would succeed immediately. Not afraid that Zhou Qing would not agree obediently, the Jiao Demon King naturally had vicious means.

And Zhou Qing didn't know that the Jiao Demon King really dared to go to the Black Wind Mountain. When the Jiao Demon King gave the order, Zhou Qing was still trapped in the bronze bell. If he knew, Zhou Qing would come out immediately and make a mess.

A blue light drilled in and out in the air. Although the speed was not as fast as Zhou Qing's heavenly changes, it was also very impressive. In the void, it was thousands of miles away. This was when Lan Shen was ordered to go to the South China Sea.

After almost a day and a night of hard work, Lan Shen finally arrived above the South China Sea. He dived down and soon approached the residence of Dragon Princess Ao Luan.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Shen, how come you have time to come and see your old friend!"

The water ape was now fully armored, holding an eight-petal purple gold hammer, leading a team of navy soldiers to patrol the periphery. When he saw Lan Shen coming from a distance, he immediately stopped his action and stepped forward to greet him.

Lan Shen had been to the South China Sea several times with Zhou Qing over the past few decades, so he was familiar with the situation, but he had no time to talk, so he quickly took the water ape into the Crystal Palace to inform the princess.

After a while, the princess came out and listened to the situation. She was rarely in deep thought for a moment, frowning and said, "This matter is not trivial. The power of the Great Sage Jiao Demon King of Fuhai is so great that even the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas combined cannot do anything about it. However, since Brother Zhou has something to do, I have to take action. You stay here for two days. I will inform my father to gather the elite sailors from the four seas before we can act."

Lan Shen knew that this matter was a bit complicated, so he had to give up and stay in the Crystal Palace, waiting for a response.

Ten days passed before the princess came back, and she brought Nezha and other immortals with her. She said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhou received the talisman from Yuanshi Tianzun, which is the Great Emperor Gou Chen. Since the decree has been issued, our Four Seas Dragon Clan must obey it. The Jade Emperor also knows about this, and has specially appointed Shuide Xingjun to lead the water gods to secretly help. The elite sailors of our Four Seas Dragon Clan are also secretly gathering in the North Sea, waiting for the right time to break through the North Sea Hell."

Lan Shen hurriedly stood up and saluted. He himself was a small horse-faced Yin God in the underworld, how could he compare with the water gods. Nezha and other dignitaries in the heavenly palace had never seen them, and now he was a little at a loss. He instinctively wanted to salute. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered his identity and hurriedly changed his kneeling to bowing.

The Water Virtue Star Lord and the Water Gods hurriedly returned the greeting, saying, "My friend, you are a disciple of the Emperor Gou Chen. How can we afford such a great gift? The Emperor's demeanor is something that we, the gods of the Heavenly Court, admire very much. This time, the Jade Emperor was afraid that other demon clan saints would know about it, so he did not send heavenly soldiers and generals down, and only asked us to act in secret. Without further ado, we will go to the North Sea immediately to see what the Great Saint Fu Hai is capable of."

The gods of the Heavenly Court knew a little about Zhou Qing's bet with Maitreya Buddha. The Western Paradise was powerful, and many things were faintly oppressing the Heavenly Court, but these gods could do nothing about it. Although Zhou Qing lost some face this time, he won the bet anyway, and these gods and stars were a little impressed.

When the Blue God saw the other party returning the gift, although he knew that the other party was seeing Zhou Qing, he still felt extremely honored.

At that moment, the princess brought along the Taoist Xuanwu, the water ape and others, selected the soldiers and generals, and hurried to the North Sea. The four sea dragon tribes naturally had a common waterway, so the army's movement would not be discovered, and it was extremely concealed. Some water monsters, monster kings and other forces living in the depths of the four seas did not find anything wrong. The four sea dragon tribes had been operating for so many years, and they were legitimate and were canonized by the heavenly court. If the news of this matter leaked out, they could just find a piece of tofu to kill themselves.

Three days later, the Water Deity Star Lord led the four water star gods Zhenshuiyin, Shenshuiyuan, Bishuili, and Jishuibao to the North Sea. The four sea dragon kings each dispatched a million sailors, a total of five million elites, all led by Ao Luan, but the four sea dragon kings did not come. They each held a banquet in the palace and invited the surrounding monster kings to paralyze the monsters to avoid any speculation.

The army marched forward and entered the North Sea Hell, and arrived at the territory of the Jiao Demon King. Now they could no longer hide it. Five million elite soldiers, how powerful they were, marched all the way, approached the underwater empire established by the Jiao Demon King, and a monster had already reported to the Jiao Demon King.

"Ah!? What happened? How did the news leak out?" The Jiao Demon King was shocked.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. It's not the heavenly soldiers and generals who came, but the navy of the Dragon King of the Four Seas. There are at least millions of them, and they have entered our territory." Long Tian said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, so that's how it is. I guess the Jade Emperor also has concerns and can only send the navy to fight me. You two, follow me out. I want to see if the four sea dragon kings have the guts to come to my underworld to seek death."

The Jiao Demon King thought for a moment, and immediately asked his men to pass the order to his 108 sons, asking them to guard the various checkpoints and activate the forbidden method. He gathered 4 million elite soldiers, rushed out of the underwater empire, and advanced all the way to meet Princess Ao Luan's navy.

Both sides had advance officers scouting ahead. Knowing that the two armies were coming head-on, Ao Luan ordered the navy to stop and station in a seabed mountain range. The Jiao Demon King stationed on a high underwater slope with a radius of 100,000 miles. He arranged the battle formation and led the generals to the front of the battle formation.

"So it's you, a little girl who is still wet behind the ears. Why did you come to this king to die? You are not a son of man. I don't want to kill you. You should go back and ask your father to come, so as not to be killed. It's a pity for your original appearance."

When the Jiao Demon King saw the princess coming forward with a sword, he laughed.

"You monster, I spared your life in the Heavenly Palace last time, but you didn't repent. Today you are making trouble again. Quickly disband the demon soldiers and surrender quickly. Maybe the Jade Emperor will send down the grace of heaven and spare your life." Shenshui Yuanxingjun stepped forward and laughed.

The Jiao Demon King was immediately furious. Last time, the seven great saints joined forces to attack the Heavenly Palace, and the other six great saints fled in the face of the enemy, which had always been ridiculed. When the Jiao Demon King saw the Shenshui Yuan Xingjun bringing up the old matter, his face turned red and he became angry and embarrassed.

"You, the hairy god, used to be a person with fur and horns. You are on the Conferred God List and become a slave. You dare to lie. Long Tian, ​​go and capture this hairy god." The Jiao Demon King also brought up the old matter.

The words of both sides hit the sore spot of the other side. The gods of the water department were immediately furious. Shenshui Yuan raised a sword and stepped forward. Seeing that Long Tian also held a sword and came forward, one was a famous star god on the Conferred God List under the seat of Jiejiao, and the other was the ancient dragon whale in the underworld who had practiced for ten thousand years. The two fought in front of the battle and it was difficult to tell who was better.

Not to mention the fight between the two, the Jiao Demon King and Ao Luan retreated and watched from a distance.

Zhou Qing was well aware of everything, and when he saw the Jiao Demon King go out, he was secretly happy.

The entire water palace was still heavily guarded, but it was much looser than before. There were at least 20,000 navy soldiers arranged in formation outside the bronze bell that trapped Zhou Qing. They were all first-class demons and fairies. There was also a young man with red hair, red skin and red clothes guarding him. He was a red Jiao, and the son of the Jiao Demon King.

These days, Zhou Qing had already thoroughly refined the Dharma Wheel with his Yuanshen, spit it out, chanted the mantra, and threw the Dharma Wheel up. With a click, the Dharma Wheel still fell on the bronze ring.

"Collect!" Zhou Qing waved his hand, and the huge bronze bell flew up. A yellow light flashed, and a golden star fell as heavy as Zhou Qing's hand. It was three inches in size and very delicate. When it was shaken, it kept dinging.

The bronze bell suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Qing got out. The sailors and red Jiao around him didn't know what was going on and didn't react.

"Oh no, this guy is running away!" A sailor shouted, and when he opened his mouth, a thick and crystal-clear water hose came over to tie him up.

"Hehe, you have some skills. Awesome! Awesome!"

Zhou Qing quickly transformed himself into Gonggong's true body, thousands of feet high, and with a flick of his giant finger, the water hose was shattered. At the same time, the dark big hand pressed down, and with a bang, a huge handprint three feet deep appeared on the ground, and dozens of sailors were crushed into meat patties.

Twelve huge Pluto flags floated behind him, and the black air rolled up, and at the same time, the souls of more than a dozen sailors were collected in it.

"Hurry up and launch the immortal trap formation!" Seeing Zhou Qing so vicious, Hong Jiao quickly commanded the navy to launch a large formation to siege.

"If I have to wait for you to launch the formation, how can I get out?" Zhou Qing laughed wildly, threw the bronze bell, and chanted a spell, and then there was a radius of hundreds of miles, covering it directly, covering all 20,000 sailors.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the red dragon quickly flew away, but how could it escape in front of Zhou Qing? With a big hand, he caught the red dragon and showed its original form. Its whole body was like red crystal and its body was hundreds of feet long. But in front of Zhou Qing's true body of Gonggong, which was a thousand feet tall, it was like a red snake, struggling in his hand.

"Good stuff, good stuff. I have many disciples and I just happen to lack a mount. I won't wrong you." Zhou Qing sealed the red dragon and pointed at the spell. The inside of the bronze bell rang, and the sun, moon and stars shone brightly. The light and sound disturbed people. How could these navy soldiers bear it? They fainted immediately.

The bronze bell recovered its full power, which was even more powerful than the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. There was a world inside. It could trap people and kill people in a thought. It was all activated with all its strength. Even if it was an immortal body, it would be turned into dust.

"Demon King Jiao! I will make you lose money today!" Looking at the palace in the distance, Zhou Qing shook his body, and the twelve flags behind him each emitted nine huge black rainbows, a total of 108 black rainbows across the north and south.

"Rise!" With a loud roar, these black rainbows fell down, directly pulling up several palaces with a radius of ten miles, which were bright and blazing, and obviously hidden treasures, and put them all into the bronze bell.

This action was simply earth-shattering. The guards from all directions were alarmed and rushed over. Zhou Qing saw that the situation was not good, so he rushed up quickly, sacrificed the bronze bell, smashed a gap, and ran out. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't handle the millions of navy rushing up.
