The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 310 - 309: Searching for the Mirage Dragon
Chapter 310: Chapter 309: Searching for the Mirage Dragon
The Old Dragon Kings didn’t really mind Nezha’s fondness for seafood; after all, they lived in the sea. Guess what they ate?
The other shrimp soldiers and crab generals were about the same. They didn’t consider seafood without spiritual wisdom as part of their kin.
They mainly feared Kong Xuan.
After Nezha and Kong Xuan had their fill, they returned to the Western Spirit Mountain.
Currently, Buddhism’s operations aren’t going well; they’re just managing to keep things running. The saying "a man with money commands, a man without struggles" has been true since ancient times.
Running such a large organization like Buddhism requires money everywhere.
People join Buddhism for resources and cultivation techniques, not to live on air.
Old Li’s current policies, although not as extreme as when Nezha broke through the formation, do allow taking private jobs and finding some means to earn incense and spiritual materials, as long as no wrongdoing is involved.
Guanyin wasn’t home; she was guarding the Spirit Stone at Fruit Mountain, so Nezha sought her two best friends, the Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Puxian.
Furthermore, these two were the mentors of Jinzha and Mu Zha, so they should be considered for good opportunities.
When they met, they didn’t discuss employment issues. Buddhism intervened out of compassion, and if someone insisted on giving incense money to show sincerity for a job well done, who could refuse?
Having discussed their ’sincerity,’ Manjusri happily went to call for reinforcements. Reinforcements couldn’t be too weak; too weak would fall asleep upon touching the white mist.
The task of clearing the white mist was successfully outsourced. Nezha divided the broker’s fee he earned with tears into two parts, giving one to Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan glanced at it and didn’t refuse.
At her level of cultivation, material things had little effect, but she still had a wise mother, a lost sister, and a fool to support.

Manjusri and Puxian were efficient, quickly gathering a group of friendly Buddhist disciples to head to the East Sea.
Nezha and Kong Xuan followed to take a look. Seeing the fog indeed disperse under the shining Buddha light, they felt relieved.
The last step was to seal the Mirage Dragon, marking the complete end of this incident.
"Sister Kong Xuan, are you confident we can deal with the Mirage Dragon?"
"If it were an ordinary Dragon Clan member, even those brothers of the Ancestor Dragon wouldn’t scare me from a fight, but this Mirage Dragon is mysterious, and I don’t have any strategies against it."
"However, ensuring your safety should still be more than adequate."
The implication wasn’t that it couldn’t be beaten, but that it couldn’t be fought? Looks like they’ll need another ally.
While Nezha was considering who to recruit, an ally presented themselves: the Jin Ling Saint Mother.
The fog of the East Sea was dispersed by Buddhism, and the Jin Ling Saint Mother, who had been trying to find a way, came directly.
From afar, she saw Nezha standing with an incredibly beautiful female immortal, and couldn’t help but frown.
Meeting the Jin Ling Saint Mother again shortly after parting, Nezha was delighted.
"Hehe, Sister Jin Ling."
"Stop with the hehe!"
Seeing that Nezha still had that shameless attitude, she felt relieved.
"Junior Brother and Daoist Friend, have you found the culprit?"
Nezha nodded and explained the situation regarding the Mirage Dragon to the Jin Ling Saint Mother.
The Jin Ling Saint Mother was very decisive.
"I’ll go with you."
If she hadn’t been unable to find this Mirage Dragon, she would have charged in headlong a long time ago!
With a One Corpse Quasi-Saint and another comparable to a Second Corpse Quasi-Saint, Nezha felt this lineup could handle anything short of a Saint, essentially able to walk sideways in the Primordial world.
No more to say, let’s set off!
He took out the Mirage Pearl, injected mana, but failed to set off. To enter the special instance required special transportation, which was the Dream-eating Rhinoceros.
Finally, Nezha found Old Bear to get three Dream-eating Rhinoceroses.
Then the three rode on the black and white long-nosed pigs, once again setting off towards the Dream World following the direction indicated by the Mirage Pearl.
Along the way, Nezha kept observing the two female immortals riding the pigs, finding the style very mismatched yet extremely amusing.
With the cultivation of Jin Ling and Kong Xuan, they certainly wouldn’t feel embarrassed just by Nezha looking at them. They closed their eyes to rest and prepare for the upcoming battle.
After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the Dream World. Nezha hadn’t been here before, but he had heard from Yang Jian that the previous Dream World was like a honeycomb composed of countless bubbles.
Now it had completely turned into a deep pool with scant bubbles on the surface still exuding a dreamy glow.
The collapse of the Dream World, with the dreams of all beings losing their barriers and connecting, was probably the reason the Mirage Dragon could cause such harm. If the fog wasn’t dispersed in time, allowing the dense fog to spread to the lands where the Human Clan lived,
the human population would undoubtedly plummet, potentially overwhelming the underworld.
Approaching the Tan Water, the seemingly clear pool reflected not Nezha’s image, but an array of bizarre and exotic scenes.
Nezha, holding the Mirage Pearl, said, "The Mirage Dragon should be in the Tan Water; let’s go in."
Kong Xuan and Jin Ling nodded in unison.
Nezha, carefully sensing with the Mirage Pearl, indicated the direction, leading the dive into the pool.
Entering the pool, there was no sensation of water flowing, only a fantasy power affecting Nezha’s Divine Soul. Unfortunately, Nezha was highly resistant to this power, completely unaffected.
Behind him, with Jin Ling and Kong Xuan, there was even less to worry about.
The main constitution of the Dream World was still the power of mortal dreams. Though immortals were strong, the sheer number of mortal beings was overwhelming. While the scenes in the dream were distorted and bizarre, they could ultimately find their symbolic counterparts in the real world.
Compared to Chaos, it wasn’t much.
Feeling the surrounding powers, Nezha felt as if he was within his Infinite Dao Domain. His False Dao saw its power amplified several times here.
All the illusory and enchanting powers around him became his strength.
His perception began to rely on false powers to expand, soon making a new discovery. With a stroke of his hand, a spatial door opened before him.
"Ladies, let’s go."
He plunged in first after speaking. Kong Xuan and Jin Ling didn’t hesitate; they were there to serve as fighters.
The trio passed through the space passage, arriving at earth-yellow mountains.
"Ladies, the Mirage Pearl points to this location."
Jin Ling and Kong Xian scrutinized for a moment, then spoke in unison, "There’s the aura of the Qilin Clan here."
Jin Ling had once tamed a Mo Qilin, giving it to her disciple Wen Zhong as a mount. Although it seemed cumbersome, its bloodline was decent, albeit still a juvenile.
As for Kong Xuan, the Dragon and Qilin Clan auras were etched in the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline.
As soon as their words fell, the distant mountains began to rumble, and as the earth-yellow light spread, an earth-yellow Qilin leaped out.
