Chapter 51: The Dragon Dives into the Sea
Nezha entered the East Sea, aiming to seek help from Ao Bing, only to realize that though the Dragon Palace of the East Sea was vast, the sea was even broader.
Wherever he looked, the scenery was exactly the same. To find the Dragon Palace in this immense sea would be like finding a needle in a haystack without some guidance.
After swimming for a while, he saw many strange fish and shrimp, but not a single one with cultivation.
Nezha pondered that this was getting him nowhere, and thought to himself, "Instead of me looking for them, it’d be quicker to have them come to me."
He took out his Seven-foot Chaos Sky Silk and with a flick of the red handkerchief, the rivers shook, and with a shake, the cosmos trembled, stirring the waters and leaving countless fish and turtles dizzy with its force.
Let’s not dwell on how Nezha, using his magic treasure, turned a swath of the sea red. Let’s shift to Ao Bing, who was in the Crystal Palace, hearing a rumbling sound as though thunder struck the palace.
Ao Bing called his attendants in a hurry and inquired, "The ground shouldn’t quake, so why is the palace shaking? Send word to General Stickleback at the South Gate, tell him to investigate this commotion."
General Stickleback took the command and led a team of shrimp soldiers toward the disturbance, only to see a child standing amidst the sea, waving a red handkerchief in one hand, and holding a golden bracelet shaking the waves with the other, throwing the fish into a frenzy, unable to stand or swim.
"Stop shaking! Stop shaking! Are you Nezha?"
General Stickleback finally got one thing right, recognizing Nezha by the magic treasure.
