Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 498

Chapter 496 Old Dragon King

[Assignment: The “Journey to the West” you wrote has attracted the attention of the dragon clans in the four seas. The dragon sons think that you belittle the dragon clan and feel disgusted with you, while the dragon daughters are amazed at your imagination and feel a liking for you. You recently traveled to the East China Sea and encountered a dragon clan member who lost the dragon ball. The dragon clan believed that you stole the dragon ball. In order to clear your name, you followed the clues and finally found the real culprit and the dragon ball, solving the “Dragon Ball Lost Case”. The Dragon King of the East China Sea laughed heartily and invited you to attend the old dragon king’s birthday. At your birthday, the Dragon Sons and Daughters had very different attitudes towards you. The Dragon Sons thought you came from a remote, impoverished village and couldn’t offer anything valuable.

[Please shine brightly on the Old Dragon King’s birthday and present gifts that surpass those offered by the Dragon Sons.]

[This quest is not recommended for abandonment.]

[Quest Rewards: One Soul-Breaking Water, One Set of Dragon Scale Armor, One Set of Celestial Witch Body]

“…”

Jiang Li looked at the quest, frowning in thought. Then, a sudden realization struck him. He finally remembered that the system had issued a quest to write “Journey to the West,” and had even thoughtfully indicated that it could be abandoned.

Jiang Li thanked the system for the thoughtful reminder and happily gave up.

“According to the system’s description, it’s about “Journey to the West” spreading throughout Kyushu, causing a sensation. From Kyushu to the Four Seas Dragon Palace, everyone knows about it. And then, in the Dragon Palace, I encounter a certain Dragon Girl?”

“A truly profound counterattack, not only improving my cultivation, but also my talent.”

Jiang Li followed the system’s line of thought, imagining how much he had overlooked.

“So, the idler Jiang Li has a dragon girl as his Taoist companion.”

Just as Jiang Li had brought classic stories like Nezha’s Conquest of the Sea and the Calabash Brothers to China, he’d also considered bringing Journey to the West to Kyushu.

But Jiang Li soon encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

He hadn’t read the original novels, only the TV series.

Even a Mahayana cultivator couldn’t just imagine something he hadn’t seen.

Naturally, Jiang Li gave up.

“And then there’s this ‘missing dragon ball case’…”

Five hundred years ago, Jiang Li had visited the East China Sea and encountered a true dragon who had lost its dragon ball, causing quite a stir.

While everyone was using their brains to speculate and deduced the identity of the thief, Jiang Li summoned Ji Zhi, who instantly identified the culprit.

“I wonder how the idler Jiang Li solved the case.”

“I haven’t seen the old Dragon King in ages. It’s about time I went to see him.”

The old Dragon King was the father of the East China Sea Dragon King. The previous East China Sea Dragon King was also a candidate for the Human Emperor, one of the last two candidates of that generation.

He was narrowly defeated by the 52nd Human Emperor, a stunningly beautiful female cultivator.

He had no choice but to return to the East China Sea to become Dragon King.

While in the East China Sea, Jiang Li had received the attention of the old Dragon King, who provided him with numerous assistance. After

becoming the Human Queen, Jiang Li repeatedly returned gifts to thank the old Dragon King for his assistance.

The old Dragon King was a low-key and reserved individual, gradually becoming a mere legend, mentioned only in casual conversation.

Jiang Li soared through the clouds and arrived at the East China Sea.

The East China Sea was already a bustling and bustling place, and now, on the occasion of the old Dragon King’s 2,800th birthday, it was even more bustling than usual.

True dragons cast their spells, dispelling rain clouds, clearing the sky. Flood dragons frolicked in the water, creating rainbows. The shrimp and crab soldiers were well-trained and in uniform formation.

Jiang Li saw a familiar face:

Mo Ruoyu, the master of Penglai Fairy Island.

“Master Mo, we meet again,” Jiang Li greeted with a smile. Master Mo was followed by several young men and women, who exclaimed in delight upon seeing Jiang Li.

“The Human Emperor is also invited here?” Island Master Mo looked surprised. As far as she knew, only the Four Seas Dragon Palace and Penglai Fairy Island were invited to the old Dragon King’s birthday. The old Dragon King did not invite other factions, as if he wanted to keep the celebration small.

This was in line with the old Dragon King’s usual habits.

“No, I just figured the old Dragon King’s birthday was approaching and came to see him.” Even without the system, Jiang Li would have come.

“You are quite familiar with the East Sea Dragon Palace. Go to the place reserved for us by the East Sea Dragon King.” Island Master Mo dismissed the young men and women who had brought them.

Seeing Jiang Li was a rare opportunity, and they wanted to watch him for a while longer. Unfortunately, Island Master Mo had to listen to their orders. After a few sighs, they had no choice but to leave.

They walked backwards so that they could see Jiang Li longer.

“Excuse me, Human Emperor! My disciples love nothing more than your storytelling.”

“Others may not know how much the storytelling ‘The Legend of Human Emperor Jiang’ is full of lies, but Island Master Mo, don’t you? And yet you let them listen to it recklessly?” Jiang Li was speechless. He had been injured over five hundred years ago and lived for a while on Penglai Island, where he had recounted his experiences to Mo Ruoyu.

Mo Ruoyu knew his true past.

Mo Ruoyu chuckled softly, “Because it’s funny.”

“Your taste for mischief is as good as ever.” In his youth, Jiang Li had been pranked by Mo Ruoyu many times. When the Old Emperor heard about it, he came to her for advice.

Unfortunately, the Old Emperor didn’t learn the essence of her tricks.

Fortunately, now that Jiang Li has become Human Emperor, Mo Ruoyu, out of respect for the Human Emperor and his authority, has not revealed the pranks she used, and rarely pranks Jiang Li again.

“Madam Ao, Nian’er’s niece.” Jiang Li noticed that the real dragon dispersing the rain clouds not far away was Ao Chengcheng, Li Er’s wife and the eldest princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

“Human Emperor.” Ao Chengcheng transformed into a human form and came over with his daughter.

“Uncle Jiang.” Li Nian’er didn’t expect to see Jiang Li again just after leaving the consciousness space.

“Sister Cheng, Nian’er’s niece.” Mo Ruoyu and Ao Chengcheng knew each other and had a good relationship.

“Li Er didn’t come?”

“He said he was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and it wasn’t appropriate for him to come here,” Ao Chengcheng explained.

Li Nian’er didn’t quite understand what her father meant.

Jiang Li nodded, understanding the implication of Li Er’s words.

“Stop, please show your invitation… Human, human, human, Human Emperor?!” The shrimp soldiers and crab generals stood guard at the gate of the Dragon Palace, fulfilling their duties.

Then he stuttered.

“Your Majesty, Dragon King, great news! A distinguished guest is coming to visit.” The shrimp soldiers and crab generals reported

the good news to the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King of the East China Sea was entertaining the guests. Seeing this, he lowered his voice and scolded the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in a low voice: “I told you a long time ago that when Island Master Mo comes, you must tell me secretly. What if you shout like this and the other three Dragon Kings find out?”

“It’s not Island Master Mo, it’s the Human Emperor who is coming!

” “What? The Human Emperor is coming!” The Dragon King

of the East China Sea suddenly raised his voice several levels, and half of the people in the venue heard it .

“Then why don’t you follow me to greet him.”

The Dragon King of the East China Sea apologized to the guests and then personally greeted Jiang Li. “

No need to come out to greet him, I’m already here. “

Jiang Li laughed loudly, his face more effective than any invitation.

“Where is the old Dragon King? Take me to see him.”

“My father is ill and needs to rest. The Human Emperor will see him at the birthday banquet. Please understand.”

“I understand.”
