Chapter 340: Refining the Yu Ding, Wei Emperor Conferred the Title to the Mermaid Kingdom
Once upon a time, all the treasures in this world belonged to Mount Emei in Shu.

But when Cao Jie and the Liangshan heroes arrived, they had to fight, rob and seize with the people of Emei, young and old.

In an age of great contention, how can the world's rare treasures, precious gems, and talented people be given up?

If you take one point away, I will have one point less.

The road to becoming an immortal ultimately requires you to rely on your fists to plunder resources.

The reason why Emei can dominate the world is not because of its mouth, but because of its magic weapons and supernatural powers, which were won by the efforts of Changmei Patriarch and others.

Liangshan is now focusing on overseas operations, and has made great gains in the Ziyun Palace in the East China Sea. In the south, it is also cooperating with the Tiandihui to fight against the Qing Dynasty and seize the destiny of the world.

As long as the time comes, the outcome of the competition with Emei is unpredictable.

A mighty dragon roamed above the lakes of Yandang Mountain, with wind and clouds rising and thunder coming from the sky.

The rumbling sound of thunder pierced my ears.

Seeing that the illusory monster was unable to do anything to the practitioners on the shore, and then hearing the sound of thunder, a monster suddenly rushed out of the lake.

This monster has a human head and a lion face, a fish back and a bear body, and is three meters tall. Its messy hair covers its entire face. Its ears are shaped like coiled dragons, and a small snake is coiled on one side, spitting out red tongue like it is spitting fire. From its messy red hair, a pair of green eyes as big as fists are wide open, and its bloody mouth is full of fangs. It looks up and then stares at Cao Jie, as if it is extremely angry and wants to chew him into pieces.

However, he knew that the dragon controlling thunder above his head was very powerful, so he did not dare to try it rashly.

Cao Jie looked at the monster from head to toe and said with a smile, "The true form has finally appeared! It deserves to be my mount, Cao Jie. It really is a great whale!"

Seeing the lightning coming towards him, the demon Gun bared his teeth and became extremely ferocious. He let out a strange roar and opened his mouth, and a bronze tripod the size of a thumb flew out along with a cloud of colorful smoke.

When it first appeared, it was only a few inches long, and in an instant it stood on three legs, emitting streams of light, and flew straight towards the thundercloud above.

As Yu Ding flew into the cumulus clouds, the sky had already turned dark as the bottom of a pot. Arcs of gold and silver electricity appeared and jumped in the clouds, and a dull rumbling sound came from there.

A little below the black clouds, gusts of white hurricanes were dancing and howling wildly, hitting the mountaintops continuously, causing rocks to collapse and trees to fly.

The thunderclouds did not dissipate because of Yu Ding, and even became stronger, but Cao Jie lost control of the thunder.

It is no longer possible to control thunder to make precise lightning attacks.

After all, Cao Jie only relied on the Great Heavenly Dragon to control the thunder method, and his clone was still far from sufficient in terms of magical powers.

Thunder roared in the distance, and then arcs of gold and silver lightning suddenly burst out. In the rolling dark clouds, arcs of electricity fell from the sky one by one. At first, they were just one by one, but in the blink of an eye, they were densely packed, pouring down like a rainstorm.
A strange scene appeared. Silver electric arcs hit the top of the mountain and exploded, turning into balls of dazzling silver light, easily cutting off a large section of the top of Yandang Mountain.

As soon as those golden arcs touched the top of the mountain, they flashed and disappeared strangely, like invisible objects.

Immediately there was a loud thunder in the belly of the mountain, and the dull explosion seemed even more violent than the thunder at the top of the mountain.

This strange thunder exploded and made Cao Jie a little dazed.

Cao Jie dodged several lightning strikes, and the Gun monster did not dare to escape from such indiscriminate lightning strikes.

The thunder only lasted about ten seconds before the energy of the thundercloud was fully released.

The sky is clear and the sun is high in the sky.

"Hey Hey……"

Demon Gun laughed loudly, and seeing that everything was destroyed, he immediately raised a gust of evil wind, trying to blow up the Yu Ding and take it away.

By the way, half of the lake’s water was also rolled up, covering the entire sky and flooding the Yandang Mountains.

As an aquatic monster, without water, its strength would be greatly reduced.

Even if you fly into the sea, you will be swept by the water.

"The mighty Tianlong!"

The power of the Heavenly Dragon is not only a blessing for martial arts, but also the control of thunder and lightning and the manipulation of water veins.

That half of the lake was immediately drawn by the power of the Heavenly Dragon.

Gun monster performed many magic tricks, but he could only protect his body. The half lake water that protected his body was stuck in mid-air and retreated back into the big lake.

"Ahhhhhh..."

There were continuous roars, but a demon is still a demon. It has been sealed underground for thousands of years and has tremendous magical powers, but its IQ is in urgent need of replenishment. It is not as high as that of humans, and it cannot comprehend any advanced magic. It relies entirely on racial talent to fight.

How can he be a match for Cao Jie?

The small tripod was rolled up by the dragon and fell down along with the lake water.

The Gun monster seemed to be so angry that he lost his mind. He exposed half of his fish body, opened his big mouth, and summoned a huge flood to submerge the earth.

This form is exactly the shape of the big fish that the demon Gun originally was. Although only a part of it is revealed, it can be seen that the original body is a creature similar to a whale, but its body is covered with scales and its mouth is full of sharp teeth.

Seeing that Yu Ding fell into Cao Jie's hands, Yao Gun would never give up. He would never give up the treasure he had been seeking for thousands of years. He opened his bloody mouth and bit at Cao Jie. Behind him, there was wind and rain, and huge waves.

"court death!"

The Great Power Heavenly Dragon Sutra is indeed a truly supreme and unique skill! It is known as one of the ten great magical powers of Zen Buddhism and the top of the power of strength, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

After practicing, it is as if one is possessed by a dragon, with the power of a dragon, the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, and the power to suppress all kinds of evil.

After practicing to the extreme, one can also refine the body of a celestial dragon.

Flying and hiding, omnipotent!

The monk Fahai has boundless magical powers and almost suppresses the human world in Liao Zhai.

Bai Suzhen, who had practiced for thousands of years, had almost no ability to fight back in front of him.

If it weren't for his Buddha's heart being clouded and his inner demons being present, I'm afraid no one in the world could be his match.

Seeing that the human's aura was becoming more and more terrifying, Yao Gun immediately transformed into his full demon form, and a terrifying giant fish several dozen feet long opened its mouth and swallowed him.

Cao Jie's tiny human body seemed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of the big fish and was about to be crushed to death.

Before the attack arrived, the wind and rain came first, and the huge waves came overwhelming. Cao Jie took root on the ground, motionless in the strong wind and heavy rain, and then punched the demon fish.

A simple straight punch.

The punch is simple, but the power contained in the fist is not simple. It contains tremendous power, as if a mountain blocking the way would be crushed into dust.

"boom!"

The fist hit the fish head of the demon, and a terrifying force instantly penetrated the body of the big fish demon. The most direct feeling was that the wind and rain around him suddenly stopped, and the huge waves retreated at a faster speed than they came.

"Ka... Ka..."

A shattering sound was heard from inside Yao Gun's body.

The monster's body, which was more than ten feet long, stopped in mid-air. The entire world was still for three seconds before it crashed into the lake.

The defense that required powerful artifacts like Zi Ying and Qing Suo to break was actually injured by Cao Jie's punch. The power of the dragon penetrated the bones and the mountain. The outside was covered with solid fish scales, so it couldn't be seen, but inside the body, the place where the punch landed had already turned into a pool of flesh and blood.

Fortunately, this monster's body was strong, and although it was injured, it was still far from death. Even a strong man like Shen Ni Youtan, one of the few strong men in the Shushan world, would have to surround the monster with nine Tianlong Fumo swords and refine them for 108 days before destroying its spirit.

This shows how strong his vitality is and how profound his spirit is.

"What a strong defense!"

"Roar!" The Gun monster roared, and a bloody wind blew in his face.

"Take my punch again!"

Cao Jie continued to punch a few more times, until his arms became numb.

Qi Xiaer's magic power recovered a little, and she looked at Cao Jie violently beating the Gun demon, dumbfounded.

This old senior is really violent!

This physical strength, could it be that he is an alien being?
Although she did not gain the merit of slaying the demon, she did not hold much resentment in her heart. Although the righteous can be overbearing at times, that is towards the enemy.

The party unites to fight against the dissidents. This is a true saying whether in the human world or in the spiritual world.

After a beating, the Gun monster finally calmed down.

In the world of monsters, the strong are king.

It is not afraid of death, but it is afraid of endless torture.

I thought to myself, once I enter the sea, I will see if you have the power to subdue me. The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and I will escape...

Seeing that he could not subdue the Gun monster by force, Cao Jie could only follow the Gun monster eastward into the sea.

Qi Xiaer looked at Cao Jie with admiration as he left: "This senior is truly an expert! If he can really subdue the demon Gun and convert him to a righteous person, it would be a great merit..."

The Gun monster is actually a mutated giant whale. It has been practicing for many years, and its physical strength is no less than that of the mighty heavenly dragon.

Entering the deep sea and stepping on the raging waves is like a fish leaping in the vast sea.

Once he stepped into the ocean, Cao Jie no longer restrained himself.

The guards around, such as Bai Suzhen, are dragons who have practiced Taoism for thousands of years. How could their Taoism be inferior to that of Gun?

Everyone rushed forward, one fleeing and one chasing, and finally arrived at the sea area of ​​​​Ziyun Palace.

In this "Shushan" world, the sea is so deep and vast that no one can fully explore it. Practitioners all know that the sea is richer than the land by a thousand times, so those immortals who have condensed their primordial spirits almost all go to the sea to open up caves and collect resources for cultivation.

Cao Jie's clone followed him into the deep sea, where there were innumerable monsters and beasts, including giant octopuses several feet in size, extremely poisonous sea snakes, huge immortal jellyfish, and even more common fish monsters.

Finally, here, Gun monster was entangled by Bai Suzhen, and was helped by Zhang Shun and Li Jun, while Fahai and others were also on the way.

The Gun monster must either surrender or become nourishment for the practitioners of the Wei Dynasty. There is no third way.

And the Yu Ding was also delivered to Cao Jie's real body, who was playing with it slowly.

This Yu Ding looks like it is made of bronze, but it is actually Shoushan copper, a top-quality material for refining tools. The body of the Ding is covered with ancient monsters. If you master the Yu Ding, you can transform into the monsters on the body of the Ding. It can be said to be a top-quality water-based magic tool.

Gao Ren lifted the lid of the tripod and took a closer look with his concentrated mind. There was a talisman with ancient dragon characters cast in the center of the tripod.

It is extremely mysterious.

"Emperor Wei, this tripod is not simple!"

After carefully reading the ancient dragon characters on the tripod, Luo Zhenren returned the Yu Ding to Cao Jie and said, "The emperor uses this tripod to suppress the dynasty's luck, and all the monsters in the world can be subdued. With this tripod in hand and the luck of the divine dynasty as the root, even I, an old Taoist, can do nothing to you within the sea."

"Does he have such magical powers?"

"The nine tripods cast by Dayu were originally intended to suppress the mountains and rivers of the nine states!"

"Okay!"

Another two months passed, and Cao Jie completely refined the Yu Ding with the luck of the Divine Dynasty.

In the Shushan world, the overseas Mermaid Kingdom has completely become a vassal state of the Wei Dynasty.

Li Jun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the document from the Taiping Sea Kingdom. The East Sea Kingdom is a kingdom of mermaids, and all the people are half-human, half-fish. They are monsters, but not monsters; they are humans, but not humans either..."

Putting down the documents for the audience, Li Jun continued, "This country has already submitted to our Great Wei, presented a letter of surrender, and also countless treasures."

In the world of "Shushan", there is human civilization on land, the Central Plains and the Nine Provinces. To the west of the Nine Provinces are the Great Snow Mountains and the Western Regions. Further west is the land of the Western barbarians. To the north is the vast prairie. To the north of the prairie is the ice field that reaches the North Pole, where most of the barbarians live. In the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south, there are also many foreign races, not the people of the Nine Provinces.

Of course, there are countries in the sea, but the sea area is very large, the living environment is harsh, and population reproduction is particularly difficult!
There are human island countries on the East China Sea, such as Ryukyu and Dongyi, but there are more small countries occupied by alien species.

For example, mermaids!

That is, a mermaid-like creature.

Cao Jie nodded and said, "Brother Li Jun, thank you for your hard work. After our Great Wei enfeoffed this kingdom of mermen, we have a foothold in the Shushan world."

Although it is only a small overseas country, the fortune it gathers is far less than that of the country that controls the nine provinces, but all things are difficult at the beginning.

Only by accumulating little by little can one defeat Emei and dominate the world.

At this time, Gongsun Sheng said, "Your Majesty, the jewels and other things offered by the mermaid country are nothing, but the mermaid silk woven by the mermaids is a treasure."

"Shark rice?"

"Your Majesty, this thing is the mermaid silk!"

Li Jun presented a box, inside of which was a piece of glittering cloth.

"Hey! It's actually woven with water spirits, what a great craftsmanship!"

Cao Jie was in charge of Yu Ding, and he was proficient in water-related magical powers, so he immediately became interested. Although this kind of Taoism had no combat power and did not look very good, in his eyes, he was able to glimpse the great way of water magic.

"Looking for a mermaid who is proficient in this art to come and see me?"

This mermaid silk is not extracted from plants, nor is it spun by silkworms, but is made by mermaids weaving water. With their natural ability to control water, they extract the essence of water and refine it into water-refined silk threads, which they then weave with their skillful hands. The finished product is as light as nothing and as soft as brocade clouds. When worn on the body, it is invulnerable to cold or heat, and will not get wet in water or burn in fire.

It is indeed the most wonderful spiritual material in the world.

Even Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng was amazed.

Moreover, the Mermaid Kingdom also paid tribute to a lot of materials for refining weapons, such as thousand-year-old cold iron and the essence of five metals.

As well as the unattainable materials for refining instruments in the Water Margin world, such as the Milky Way star sand, the Western Taiyi real gold, the eternal cold iron under the sea, the Western Gengjin essence, the earth's core magnetic iron, and the Eastern Taiyi essence.

On this day, a graceful figure came to Jiaozhou Bay, followed by a pleasant voice: "Your Majesty of Wei, I am the princess of Taipinghai Kingdom. May Your Majesty enjoy eternal happiness and a long life!"

He spoke Chinese, with a Wu accent that was quite pleasant to the ear.

If you didn't look at her appearance, you would think she was a girl from the Jiangnan water town.

I just looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl who looked to be about 28 years old. Her chest was wrapped in a layer of strange diamond-shaped gauze. Below her waist, she did not have human legs, but a slender tail fin. Apart from that, she was no different from an ordinary person, only more beautiful.
