Investiture of the Gods: The Haotian King

The dragon demon was wreaking havoc, and Li Quan sacrificed his own wife to save the lives of the people of Chentang Pass, finally sealing the dragon demon. After Li Jing grew up, he lacked discipline and spent all his time mixing with the wealthy second generation in the city, easily believing rumors that releasing the dragon demon would allow him to resurrect his mother. Fortunately, Li Quan arrived just in time to repair the seal. To grind away Li Jing's rebelliousness, Li Quan sent the two of them to Mount Kunlun to learn the way. There, they met Hong Fu, the leader of a bandit village, who told them she had a vendetta against the dragon demon. The three formed a companionship and together broke the seal of the dragon demon. However, Li Jing did not find his mother's lingering soul in the seal; it turned out that Hong Fu was a fragment of the dragon demon's spirit, existing to release the dragon demon. When the dragon demon was unleashed, living beings suffered greatly, and Li Quan sacrificed his own life to save Li Jing. With no opponents left to challenge the dragon demon, Li Jing summoned everyone to escape, but Zheng Lun chose to stay and defend his hometown, criticizing Li Jing for only knowing how to flee. On the way to escape, Li Jing looked at the scattered fleeing refugees and finally made up his mind to confront it all. At the moment he resolved himself, the magical artifact Linglong Tower appeared in his hand, accepting him as its master. Just as everyone was losing against the dragon demon, Hong Fu exerted all her strength, finally buying some time to affect the dragon demon, and Li Jing seized this opportunity to seal the dragon demon within the Linglong Tower.
