Chapter 361: Chapter 360 Where Did Ancestor Dragon Go?

Tongtian Sect Master is no fool. One is his elder brother, and the other is his junior martial sister, so naturally, he’ll take out his frustration on you two registered disciples.

Fortunately, Tongtian Sect Master was just venting his dissatisfaction and didn’t really intend to start a fight.

At this moment, Nezha was unaware of the Saints’ matters. Carrying the Chaos Bell, he said to Duobao, "Senior Brother Duobao, I’ll use the Chaos Bell with Senior Sister Jin Ling to stabilize the Sea Eye for ten breaths. After that, it’s all up to you."

Duobao, though envious, didn’t find it unreasonable. He thought perhaps the reward back at Treasure Dividing Rock contained information on the Chaos Bell. Too bad he miscalculated by a single move.

"Agreed," Duobao said.

Nezha, seeing Duobao’s consent, turned to Jin Ling and said, "Senior Sister, lend me a helping hand."

Jin Ling knew Nezha’s biggest shortcoming was his insufficient mana and immediately nodded.

The two arrived above the Sea Eye. Nezha, one hand holding the bell and the other forming hand seals, began chanting. Pitch-black death energy started circulating. On the other side, Jin Ling activated the Life Dao.

Finally, their handprints aligned, intertwining life and death. Initially unbalanced, the two strands of Dao Qi were quickly harmonized by Nezha’s manipulation of the Yin Yang Dao, achieving a certain resonance. This resonance acted as a converter, allowing Jin Ling’s immense and pure Shangqing Magic Power to flow continuously into Nezha’s body.

Although Nezha himself was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal, ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Mystic Sect were no match for him anymore. When the mana inside him reached Daluo Peak, Nezha felt strained for the first time while controlling it.

With their minds connected, Jin Ling quickly adjusted the output of her mana. Nezha held the Chaos Bell before him, then summoned the God Slaying Spear and channeled his mana into it, striking the Chaos Bell aggressively.

Everything within a radius of ten thousand miles abruptly froze. Even Duobao, who was setting up an array, was forcibly halted for a breath. The deep and resonant sound of the bell then echoed far and wide.

Fortunately, the only immortals present were Duobao and Wudang; others had been driven away. Otherwise, anyone below Daluo without a significant magical treasure for protection would have been killed outright by the shockwaves.

Using the Chaos Bell for the first time, Nezha simply focused on doing his best. He didn’t realize this item was an all-encompassing magical treasure. Anything within the range of its bell sound would be attacked indiscriminately. Although Nezha tried to focus its effect beneath the sea, the residual shockwaves reached far and wide.

With his advanced cultivation, Duobao managed to withstand the unintended attack from his teammate. Looking at the seawater around the Sea Eye, which had been completely sealed, he quickly carried countless beams of Treasure Light and plunged into the Sea Eye.

Eight breaths later, turbulent seawater began surging once again. However, with Duobao Daoist suppressing the Sea Eye, it was no longer as terrifying as before. Nezha, with Jin Ling’s continuous supply of mana, regained his form.

Though this mana wasn’t his own and handling it felt awkward, Nezha didn’t have the luxury to care.

Releasing the Dharma Seal, Nezha dove into the water. The Ancestor Dragon Hall, which had been above the Sea Eye, had vanished entirely. Nearby, a large hole had been punctured—undoubtedly the Dragon Clan’s handiwork.

Nezha quickly moved forward to investigate. After carefully examining the area, he concluded the hole had been made using brute force. No measurements, no planning—nothing.

Nezha was curious what Fu Xi had recorded initially. He hadn’t deliberately withheld guidance back then, but despite Fu Xi paying, Nezha hadn’t hidden any details from him.

Still, Nezha could somewhat fathom Fu Xi’s mindset.

Disregarding his thoughts, Nezha focused on patching the hole while it remained small. Luckily, there were ample materials prepared during the last repair at the Returning Ruins, which now came in handy.

The Heart’s Desire Iron, which had been involved in many engineering tasks with Nezha, had accumulated significant Merit Power over time. Truthfully, it was now no less impressive than the Ocean Stabilizing God Needle in the East Sea during its heyday.

Grabbing one end of the iron, Nezha shouted, ’Grow!’

The tip of the Ruyi Iron quickly expanded and thickened, plugging the hole securely. The Sea Eye immediately returned to its former state.

The chaotic seabed gradually regained tranquility. Using the materials at hand, Nezha centered the Ruyi Iron and swiftly deployed an array to isolate seawater before commencing repairs around the damaged area.

In just three months, with Jin Ling’s assistance, the Dragon Clan’s created hole was completely repaired. The damage wasn’t extensive; the primary challenge was that for skilled workers, it was simple, while the inexperienced struggled greatly.

They could’ve even resolved the issue using the most rudimentary method—just throwing in a Divine Dragon.

Instead, when faced with problems, this lot immediately fled at full speed.

Heavenly merit descended: Nezha received eighty percent, while Jin Ling took twenty percent.

Nezha: "Thanks, Dragon Clan old pals, for the merit gift!"

Heading deeper into the Sea Eye, Nezha saw Duobao seated at the center of an array formed by tens of thousands of magical treasures, looking completely at ease.

"Senior Brother, mission accomplished. I’ve repaired the damaged sections of the seal. However, I’ve no clue where the Ancestor Dragon is now."

Unfazed, Duobao replied, as a Saint disciple, he couldn’t be left forever guarding the Sea Eye. If someone expected him to fill the role, they’d first have to check if Tongtian Sect Master’s sword agreed.

"No need to worry, Junior Brother. Until the Ancestor Dragon is found, I’ll keep suppressing this area."

Nezha and Jin Ling ascended to the surface, only to encounter Gold Star Taibai, his face filled with urgency.

"Emperor, my good Emperor, such a major event has occurred! Quickly, come to Heaven with me!"

The calamity in the East Sea had stirred chaos above.

Frankly, Nezha didn’t want to get involved. Although he’d always been at odds with the Dragon Clan, the Ancestor Dragon escaping didn’t really concern him—at least it wasn’t him tasked with filling the Sea Eye.

Following Gold Star Taibai to the Palace of the Polestar, Nezha found the atmosphere extremely tense. However, he nonchalantly recounted the situation in the East Sea.

Hao Tian, hearing that the East Sea’s breach had been repaired and the Sea Eye was temporarily suppressed by Duobao, looked somewhat relieved. But upon seeing the kneeling Four Sea Dragon Kings below, a surge of fury rose uncontrollably.

Why was it that every time he returned to the Primordial World, it was nothing but troubles?

"Audacious Dragon Clan! You dared to damage the Primordial Sea Eye and release the criminal Ancestor Dragon? Quickly confess where the Ancestor Dragon has gone!"

The Four Sea Dragon Kings glanced at each other helplessly. They had no idea where their ancestor had fled; they’d merely been sent to bear the brunt of the blame.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we genuinely don’t know!"

The Four Sea Dragon Kings kowtowed so fervently that they saw stars but still couldn’t provide any clue about the Ancestor Dragon’s whereabouts.

Hao Tian was growing desperate. How did one of the three ancient offenders suddenly escape? If this one wasn’t promptly recaptured, would the other two follow suit?

And who would fill the Sea Eye, earth veins, and Undying Volcano then?

Back during the war between the Three Clans, the destruction it wreaked on the Primordial World was irreparable. The karmic retribution imposed by the Heavenly Dao had bound the Three Clans ever since. Strictly speaking, even if they spent eternity repaying their debt, it wouldn’t suffice.

Yuan Feng continued to endure with sheer persistence, essentially living in a state of resignation. Her days merely consisted of finding good food and cursing Old Loach endlessly.
