Demon King Overview
After the case of the Jing River Dragon King was closed, the dragon children felt uncertain about their future. When they traveled west, they were rewarded for their merits, but the rewards and punishments for the dragon children were undecided, which made them very anxious. They sought Yuan Shoucheng and asked him to cast another divination for them.
This divination revealed the symbol of the hidden dragon, which became a thorn in their hearts. The four dragon gods were especially worried. They supervised the four muddy places and were well aware of the harsh methods of the upper realm, so they took the initiative to resign, wanting to retreat to save their lives.
Unexpectedly, their written requests to enter the Heavenly Court were all rejected, and time passed quickly. One day, Yuan Shoucheng visited the four dragon gods and informed them that the updated divination indicated that the hidden dragon was stirring in the abyss, creating an opportunity. After hearing this, the four dragon gods left the water palace one after another and made their own plans.
Chi Ran Long was very vigilant. He knew that the Black Bear Spirit was greedy for wealth and had the protection of the South Sea. So he took out all his treasures and exchanged them with the Black Bear Spirit for a treasure cave. After that, he went into seclusion in the mountains and slept, lurking for many years. One day, he woke up and wanted to soar into the sky and stretch his body, but found himself unable to climb the clouds. He remembered an ancient saying: “For a dragon to rise to the sky, it must first have a wooden step.” So he used his electric tail to carve out a piece of wood in the mountains to help him soar, but it was of no avail.
Feeling unsettled, Chi Ran Long sought help from the Black Bear Spirit. The Black Bear Spirit was not good at flying, but how could he refuse a profitable deal? He brought the Bo Shan Stove from the South Sea to sell to Chi Ran Long, claiming that the Bo Shan Stove could produce clouds and smoke. Quoting from ancient texts: “A dragon cannot move without clouds.” This persuaded Chi Ran Long.
Believing it to be true, Chi Ran Long embedded the Bo Shan Stove on his back, ignited it with spiritual essence, and forcefully created smoke. One stove was not enough, so he added another stove. Each time the Bo Shan Stove produced smoke, it consumed a lot of spiritual essence, and the assistance it provided was very limited. Although Chi Ran Long could use it to soar again, it was ultimately not comparable to before, and he could only live in distress between the wooden steps.
Oh, there are such unfortunate things in the world. Clearly, it is a skillful technique, but forgotten due to long neglect. This is how all the knowledge in the world is. Without practical application, it will eventually be wasted. How lamentable, how lamentable.
