Chapter 513: Chapter 513

The East Sea Dragon King now was really scratching his head; although their Dragon Palace had better things, they couldn't bear to part with them. You have to know that their Dragon Palace has to pay tribute to the Ancestor Dragon Hall every year, and after that period of repeated 'cooperation' with Nezha, their family wealth really wasn't much.

As Ao Longwang was troubled, the voice of Suan Ni came to his ear.

Suan Ni's message was simple: Isn't there a piece of Divine Iron left by Dayu for measuring seawater in the depths of the East Sea? Introduce this to him; this object is full of spirituality, and you can just send him off with it.

Do you think Suan Ni, this fourth brother, is being kind by giving this idea? Wrong!

Suan Ni's fundamental goal was still the Phoenix Egg in Shuilian Cave; his bloodline held great hostility towards this thing, which proved the purity of the Yuan Feng bloodline inside the egg. Although it was uncertain how old the entity in the egg was, it was definitely Yuan Feng's own child, so he had to remove it.

This Sun Wukong's background was somewhat indecipherable, so the best strategy was to kill with a borrowed knife; the Dragon Palace of the East Sea certainly couldn't serve as this knife, but the Heavenly Court could.

Among the Ancestral Dragon's Nine Sons, not one is a weakling, otherwise, they would have long been killed off by Yuan Feng. Surviving through the era of the Three Clans War itself was proof of their intelligence and martial power.

No matter how deep this Sun Wukong's background, as long as he violated the Heavenly Rules, the Heavenly Court would definitely press their army upon them, which was also a use of the rules.

The Old Dragon King, who had been fooled, didn't know that the monkey before him could really move that block of Divine Iron. His current cultivation was only at the level of a Profound Immortal emerging from the Dragon Clan, but without the approval of the Divine Iron, it couldn't be moved; he didn't believe a mere Monkey Demon could do it.

"Monkey King, since that's the case, I have a piece of Divine Iron deep in the sea. If you can move it, you may take it."

Sun Wukong quickly agreed upon hearing there was a treasure.

"Alright, alright, bring it here and I'll have a look."

"We can't carry it; how about you come with me to see it?"

"Lead the way, lead the way."

The East Sea Dragon King led Sun Wukong out of the Dragon Palace to the deep sea, where they saw, from a distance, a once dull iron pillar emitting dazzling rosy clouds.

The Old Dragon King was also puzzled; why hadn't this Divine Iron shown such miraculous features before? Sun Wukong, seeing the radiant glow from afar, asked, "Old neighbor, is that the Divine Iron?"

Sun Wukong was extremely excited seeing the immense iron pillar, directly leaping beyond the Dragon King to the Divine Iron's side, circling around it more and more with admiration.

He placed his hands directly on it and lifted with force; the Divine Iron didn't budge.

The Old Dragon King watching from afar was relieved, thinking, I said so, I can't move it, how can a Monkey Demon… He hadn't finished thinking when a loud roar was heard from afar, and the water currents in the whole deep sea violently swirled backward.

At the center of the vortex, Sun Wukong held the Divine Iron and laughed heartily.

"If it were just a little smaller, just a little smaller, it would be perfect."

The Divine Iron had spirit and, as Sun Wukong chanted, it began to shrink. The rust on it started to peel, revealing a dazzling golden light. Both ends of the Divine Iron were entwined with golden rings, with dragons and phoenixes carved in the middle; one look and you knew it was a treasure.

The Dragons' innate desire for treasures was engraved in their bones. Upon seeing the Divine Iron being so extraordinary, the Old Dragon King started feeling heartache and hurried forward.

"Monkey King, you can't take this Divine Iron! This is a central piece of our East Sea; if you take it, what will happen to the East Sea?"

Sun Wukong wasn't foolish; he would certainly not let go of the treasure now in his grasp. Besides, it was the East Sea Dragon King who had agreed earlier. Seeing the Dragon King trying to grab it away, he just tightened his hold on the Divine Iron.

"Hey! Hey! Don't move me, okay? As long as the Divine Iron doesn't fall, neither will I!"

The East Sea Dragon King exerted all his strength but couldn't separate Sun Wukong and the Divine Iron; in fact, the Divine Iron, which had started to shrink, began to wobble because of the Dragon King's exertion.

"Old neighbor, it's you who promised this to me!"

The Old Dragon King, anxious, considered summoning people to forcibly take it back. At this moment, Suan Ni's voice came to his ear again. Following Suan Ni's words, the Old Dragon King formulated a plan.

Every Dragon could feel the Jade Emperor's malice towards the Dragon Clan. The East Sea Dragon King, constrained by his position, couldn't have any retaliatory actions, but now Suan Ni's suggestion seemed like a good idea.

It was probably impossible to retrieve the Divine Treasure Iron. If this monkey could handle the Divine Treasure Iron, he must be exceptional. When the time came, reporting to the Heavenly Court would lead to two outcomes: either the Monkey Demon would be killed, and the Divine Iron retrieved, or the monkey, with his powerful abilities and deep background, would pass through smoothly. The second outcome was more probable, but either way, the monkey would surely have a clash with the Heavenly Court.

The Dragon King, being part of the system, clearly understood the current state of affairs in the Heavenly Court. Most were working in debt, unable even to restore their peak cultivation; the extension of life was already an issue, let alone dealing with such a powerful Monkey Demon.

As for the true big shots, they had long passed the age needing to personally engage in fights. Latest content publıshed on novęlfire.net

Once the Old Dragon King sorted out his thoughts, he felt his horizons expanded; if this caused trouble for the Heavenly Court, giving away the Divine Iron to the Monkey Demon was feasible.

The Old Dragon King ceased his obstruction, and under Sun Wukong's summons, the Divine Iron had become a handy weapon. You could see the monkey wielding the Divine Iron back and forth, and the sea, already missing its peg, was stirred up into chaos.

"Immortal, please curb your divine skills!"

Sun Wukong was merely overexcited upon obtaining the treasure and felt guilty for taking someone else's possession. Upon hearing the Old Dragon King's call, he immediately stopped swinging and placed the Divine Iron, now transformed into an embroidery needle, into his ear.

The Old Dragon King, now having changed his mind, did not mention retrieving the Divine Iron again, and invited Sun Wukong to the banquet once more. Seeing this, Sun Wukong happily followed.

Returning to the banquet, the Old Dragon King, while serving wine, began to inquire about Sun Wukong's background.

"Immortal, where do you hail from?"

Previously, the Old Dragon King had sent his sons and grandsons to Puti's small classroom, but the identities of the participants were kept strictly confidential. He vaguely suspected the monkey was one of them, but was unsure; could such an ordinary yet confident Monkey Demon really be that disciple?

Sun Wukong always remembered every word of his teacher, so he chuckled, saying, "Can't say, can't say."

With things as they were, whether true or not, the Old Dragon King could only proceed down a single path.

Shortly after, the Dragon Kings of the remaining Three Seas arrived following the great event in the East Sea. After some conciliatory words, the Dragon King privately explained what had happened to them, and the other Dragon Kings nodded immediately.

Although the West Sea Dragon King was doing well, he couldn't isolate himself from the small group of the Four Sea Dragon Kings, so he nodded in agreement with everything they discussed.

Upon hearing about offering more treasures, he contributed a most precious Locking Gold Armor along with a cloak. This armor shone with golden light, was indestructible, and made the wearer immune to weapons, impervious to water and fire.

The South Sea Dragon King offered a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown; the crown was set with Phoenix Wings, radiating a purple-golden brilliance, enhancing infinite divine power.

Lastly, the North Sea Dragon King presented a pair of Double Lotus Silk Cloud Shoes, which were incredibly light and allowed the wearer to float in the clouds and travel a thousand miles a day.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings went to great lengths to create trouble for the Heavenly Court, making substantial sacrifices.

The East Sea Dragon King who left alone returned as one of four, and the five held a feast once more. Sun Wukong, new to this environment, found himself in high spirits as the experienced and weathered Dragon Kings took turns flattering him.

In the end, seemingly enjoying themselves, they took the opportunity to bestow the prepared three treasures.

At that moment, the relatively simple-minded Sun Wukong thought only that his senior brother was absolutely right!

The Four Seas Dragon Palace was full of good dragons, each a talented speaker, and he truly loved it here!

After the joyful festivities, Sun Wukong, dressed in magnificent and stylish regalia, left the Dragon Palace with the Sea Stabilizing Treasure Iron, eager to flaunt the treasures he had acquired.

Seeing Sun Wukong leaving, the East Sea Dragon King suppressed the immediate urge to report to the heavens. This Monkey Demon had vast divine skills, and with his newly acquired magical treasures, his battle power was formidable; who knew what further trouble he might cause, so it was better to let the arrow fly a little longer.
