Wei Jiao was stunned by his description. She could imagine what the scene must have been like, but she could never understand what it felt like unless she was there.
"Maybe. Anyway, if there's any place in this space that I don't understand, it's that place."
"So, senior, are you about to become an ancient dragon?" After all, he was the only one left.
"No, it's still a little short. Maybe eating you will be enough." The black dragon spirit suddenly opened its eyes wide and emitted a dragon's might.
Wei Jiao was startled by his sudden somber words and dragon-like aura; his heart clenched and his body stiffened.
"Hahaha, is there any difference between eating you and eating a worm?" the black dragon spirit laughed loudly. "I am just one opportunity away from the realm of an ancient dragon, not a matter of cultivation level, so you'd better keep your life safe."
Wei Jiao sighed helplessly; this old dragon seemed rather shameless.
However, the shadow in her heart finally dissipated. Based on her observations over this period, the old dragon seemed to have gradually given up the idea of treating her as food. The reason she was so attentive before was because of her concern about this issue.
As for what he said about the great mistake the dragons made, she didn't understand what he meant, and it wasn't an important matter to her, so she put it aside.
According to Lao Heilong, this seabed is still worth studying carefully.
He could wait for an opportunity for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but Wei Jiao didn't have that much time; she had to get out as soon as possible.
"Speaking of which, you're so weak, what terrible mistake did you make to end up locked up here?"
Black Dragon Spirit, oh, he is the Black Dragon King, he should have his own name, but he doesn't say it, he only refers to him as Black Dragon Spirit or Old Black Dragon in his heart.
"I indirectly caused the East Sea Dragon Palace to lose its heir," she then briefly explained the whole story of Shuoyuan to the Black Dragon.
When she learned of this from her mother, her first reaction was absurdity and disbelief. Now, after calming down, she thought about it carefully and realized that if the human woman's life had to be attributed to her, she could bear it. But Shuoyuan's decision was his own; he decided to go to the Yellow Springs with his beloved, betraying the entire East Sea Dragon Clan. Why should the East Sea Dragon Palace hold a grudge against her for this?
"That kid is quite the romantic. I never thought the Dragon Clan would produce such a person." The Black Dragon Spirit sighed after hearing this, but his focus was rather hurtful.
Seeing Wei Jiao's depressed expression, he offered a rare explanation: "Since ancient times, the dragon race has been an amorous race that worships the powerful. According to your description, this Shuo Yuan should like powerful members of the opposite sex, but I didn't expect him to like a weak human. He would rather like you."
Wei Jiao felt no comforted at all, so he changed the subject and asked, "Then, senior, do you still have a wife and children left in this world?"
"Hmph, I became an Yinglong at the age of 1,300 and 1,000. There are still no beings in heaven and earth worthy of me. Later, I followed the great god Gonggong to fight everywhere. I didn't have time for that."
Wei Jiao was speechless. It seemed that the dragons of the past were not only amorous and worshipful of the powerful, but also extremely arrogant!
But what about the great god Gonggong?
"Senior, the great god Gonggong has been dead for 150,000 years!" Wei Jiao exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, you are actually that old!"
The Black Dragon King glared at her angrily: "Get out of here, get out of here, don't get in my way."
The Black Dragon King had revealed quite a bit today, which made him somewhat angry and embarrassed. Wei Jiao dared not provoke him any further, so he obediently withdrew.
Wei Jiao returned to his cave and carefully considered the old dragon's words. He felt that there must be undiscovered secrets at the bottom of the abyss. However, after so many years and countless creatures had died here, the bottom of the water was now like a tomb. Although the corpses were buried here, the souls could not rest in peace. Perhaps at the beginning there were many angry and resentful souls here, but after 100,000 years, all that anger had returned to nothingness.
Wei Jiao had a strange intuition that his chances of leaving this place largely depended on this secret that hadn't been unlocked for tens of thousands of years.
In the time that followed, Wei Jiao simply set up her daily training location at the bottom of the Cold Abyss, which she called the Undersea Dragon Tomb.
After carefully observing the gray mist, she discovered that some of it was possible to leap over. So she carefully found a very safe distance and carved out a platform there, where she would meditate and cultivate.
After a while, she didn't find anything special, but after cultivating here for a long time, the undead in the gray mist no longer posed a significant threat to her.
After realizing this, she felt extremely distressed. Thinking of the mistakes made by the Dragon Clan and the God Gonggong, she had a general idea in her mind. She didn't know much about the God Gonggong, except for the two things: flooding the human world and breaking Buzhou Mountain. The flooding of the human world must be related to the Dragon Clan.
So the dragons who followed the god Gonggong back then were punished. They were imprisoned in a closed space and died there, their souls unable to be released. It was a truly cruel punishment.
Today, burdened by her emotions, she stands here, and perhaps in the future, she too will become one of those people in this gray fog. The Dragon King of the East Sea probably hopes she will receive such punishment.
Buddhists often talk about saving all sentient beings. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva even made a great vow that he would not become a Buddha until the hells are emptied. If the souls in hell can be saved, then the souls here should be able to as well.
Suddenly, the scriptures he had memorized before came to mind. Feeling a sense of connection, he crossed his legs, closed his eyes, made a hand gesture, and began to recite silently.
She heard this scripture when she went to listen to Buddhist teachings with Shuoyuan. Later, she put in a lot of effort to memorize it so that she could communicate with Shuoyuan. She knew the Heart Sutra very well because it was short. She could also memorize the Diamond Sutra. She had only read other scriptures such as the Lotus Sutra. She was confused when she listened to the Buddha's teachings. But now, with her mind and body clear, she could feel the obscure and difficult words when she read them. She went from stumbling at the beginning to gradually getting into the swing of things.
People often say that Buddhist scriptures are very mysterious, and they pray to copy scriptures, burn incense and donate money every day, hoping that they can have a smooth and successful life.
However, the Buddha also said: "If one seeks me through form or sound, that person walks a false path and cannot see the Tathagata."
Wei Jiao was not a Buddhist and had never had any reverence for the Buddha. Today, he was simply reciting Buddhist scriptures out of sympathy for his deceased kinsmen. It was a coincidence that he unconsciously began to recite Buddhist scriptures. However, it was precisely this state of mind that resonated with the meaning of the scriptures.
She calmed herself completely and repeatedly recited the Buddhist scriptures she remembered. Because of this, her mind and body became clearer, and some scriptures that she had not memorized before came out of her mouth, gradually leading her into a mysterious state.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Wei Jiao opened her eyes. Golden light flashed in her eyes, and she felt a peace she had never felt before. The world in her eyes and heart seemed to have been wiped clean of a layer of dust, becoming clearer. Her body also felt extremely comfortable, an experience she had never had before.
