Chapter 103 The First Battle During The Destruction Of The Divine Sect

Li Changshou was only slightly surprised by the old fortune-teller's secret meeting with the Crow Demon.

After all, he had known since his previous life that the second most complicated thing in this world was the human heart.

It would not be conservative to say that the person who appeared late at night was a Crow Demon.

At that moment, Li Changshou was merely using his Double-Eyed Spider cobweb and his immortal senses to observe the place from afar.

Other than knowing that "that thing" was at the early-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm, he could not determine whether it was a demonic cultivator.

It was also possible that the crows just now were just illusions and a type of manifestation technique.

The old fortune-teller lowered his head and reported for a while. The figure quickly nodded and threw two gold coins and a paper talisman on the ground. Then, he turned into a crow again and flew away silently. In the blink of an eye, he was gone…

Li Changshou pondered for a while. Out of consideration for his safety, he did not pursue the matter further.

After another hour, Li Changshou used the Earth Escape technique from the forest that was fifty kilometers away and secretly went underground in the temple.

From another perspective, "Shocking: In the dead of the night, a certain Sea God sneaked into his temple and interfered with the old temple!" is somehow a little thrilling and exciting.

He had no choice but to consider the possibility that the other party had put on a show for him to deliberately lure him into the trap. Hence, Li Changshou was very careful with his actions.

He did not appear directly. Instead, he used his fingernails to hook a trace of the Soft Immortal Disperser on the ground, completely bewitching the old fortune-teller who was sleeping soundly with the golden coins, and causing him to faint.

Li Changshou then took out a Dharma artifact, which was a rope that was as thin as hair.

The rope extended on its own and quietly crawled out of the ground before wrapping itself around the old fortune-teller's forehead.

Soul-searching Technique: Misty Dream Tactic

That technique could cause the caster to enter a dream and reveal his memories in the dream. The disadvantage was that it could only be used on people with lower cultivation levels, which was why it was called a minor technique.

After a while, Li Changshou finished reading the story of the old fortune-teller's "hard life". He used the Earth Escape technique and sneaked away without staying for long.

At the same time, before he left, he did not forget to throw out a small amount of hangover medicine. He used the medicinal effects of that medicine and the Soft Immortal Disperser to make the old fortune-teller wake up normally tomorrow…

He quietly paced back and forth without leaving a trace behind.

After that, Li Changshou found a desolate mountain forest and made the paper effigy stop moving underground. He began to organize the information that he had obtained from the old fortune-teller.

That old fortune-teller…

On the surface, he was the person in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple of the Sea God Sect. In fact, he was the snitch of a total of seven sects within 1,500 kilometers, such as the 'Crow God Sect', the 'Men and Women Sect', the 'old God Sect', the 'Great Murderous Sect', and so on.

Li Changshou, the Sea God, felt… Very touched about a traitor like him.

If there were more traitors like him, would Li Changshou still have to go all out to destroy his own sect?

The crow just now was the Divine Envoy of the Crow God Sect which had instructed the old fortune-teller to monitor the "strange humans" that appeared there…

The conflict between sects that Li Changshou had sensed previously was the battle between the Crow God Sect and the Sea God Sect which were vying for incense and territory. The Crow God Sect was the first to attack.

Li Changshou had to consider a very serious problem.

The core of the entire Sea God Sect was actually the people in the Xiong Village. The village was already full of Divine Envoys and hundreds of strong people were running around.

They used the sea to express the Sea God's graciousness, their muscles to promote the teachings of the Sea God, and their punches to display the power of the Sea God with their fists…

Li Changshou had never cared about that place before. He had never appeared in anyone's dream or provided guidance before.

What are the people of the Xiong Village relying on to fight against the sects with the Perfected Immortal Divine Envoys?

Li Changshou was puzzled by that. He could not help but suspect that someone wanted to fatten up the Sea God before killing him!

The old fortune-teller knew a lot of internal information about the Sea God Sect.

Although the old fortune-teller was just a member who was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and had seven part-time jobs, he still had the ambition to climb up to the top and become an official Divine Envoy!

Regarding that… Li Changshou even wanted to show his spirit once and take the initiative to promote that old fortune-teller. He wanted to place him in the same position which could make the Sea God Sect become easily destroyed.

Ahem, let's not joke around anymore.

Li Changshou headed to that place with the intention of letting the Sea God Sect collapse naturally. He wanted to get rid of that karma and clear the hidden danger.

The process could not trigger a war between the sects in the mortal world. He could not afford to create negative karma. He had to avoid achieving the opposite effect and causing the Sea God Sect to expand further.

Before arriving, Li Changshou had already thought of several plans.

The simplest and most effective method was to think of a way to make the Sea God of the South Ocean lose his "godly halo".

That would make the mortal devotees feel that they had believed in the wrong God.

He decided to go all out!

Li Changshou had also learned that three days later, there would be a huge Sea God Ceremony in Anshui City.

Due to the fact that the old fortune-teller was in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple and was quite far away, he could not go this time.

However, according to the old fortune-teller, many important figures of the Sea God Sect and tens of thousands of disciples would gather in Anshui City for a grand Sea God Sacrifice!

It was a good opportunity. When the time came, as long as Li Changshou would be able to defeat the 'important figures' of the Sea God Sect in person as long as his paper effigy appeared and shattered the statue there…

That could prove that the Sea God did not exist.

After that, as long as the same incident happened a few more times, the Sea God Sect would naturally collapse!

Although the plan was simple and there were no experts whom he had to deal with, Li Changshou still did not dare to be negligent…

He had to investigate, plan, and consider carefully!

Once I strike, I will destroy the Sea God!

Li Changshou started his operation that night.

He first circled around the Sea God Sect's territory and used his immortal senses to check the various temples.

Two days before the Sea God Sacrifice began, Li Changshou arrived near Anshui City and investigated the Divine Envoys in detail. He also secretly tried to test the people of Xiong Village.

Li Changshou could already confirm that his "Divine Envoys" were at most "ordinary" people with plenty of energy. Very few of them had cultivation levels, but they were only at the Qi Refinement Realm and Soul Formation realm…

After that, Li Changshou kept searching for flaws in his plan.

In order to prevent the Sea God Sacrifice from being disturbed by the Crow God Sect, he hid the two 'Heaven' paper effigies outside Anshui City, making them ready to attack at any moment.

If the Crow Sect were to come and cause trouble, it would definitely cause a fight between the sects. Perhaps there would be a bloodbath, and it would cause me, the Sea God, to experience an increase in my negative karma.

He had to be wary.

Then, Li Changshou secretly investigated the Qi Refinement cultivators who might be related to the Sea God Sect.

In the end, he only managed to find out that the daughter of a Divine Envoy from the Sea God Sect had gone to the Immortal World in the north and become an immortal's disciple. She should be a young lady from Xiong Village who had entered the immortal sect of the Middle Continent.

Li Changshou could not help but think of a young girl named Xiong Lingli, whose figure was like a tower…

However, he was a little pressed for time and did not have enough time to confirm.

However, disciples who had just joined the immortal sect for a few years could not do anything much… Although he had to consider it, there was no need to be overly nervous about it.

In the past two days, Li Changshou had been exploiting the details and loopholes, hoping that his plan would be perfect.

He had taken precautions and made arrangements for everything that he had considered.

This time, it should be stable…

Ahem, I can't be too quick to speak about these things.

At this moment, I cannot be careless, or rule out any absurd possibilities… The night before the Sea God Ceremony in Anshui City.

Li Changshou's paper effigy was hiding in the small courtyard he rented. He plunged deep into thought.

The ceremony was held early in the morning, and the celebrations would last for a day and a night.

Due to the fact that too many disciples of the Sea God Sect had entered Anshui City, it was extremely crowded. The streets and alleys were especially lively.

Li Changshou did not discover any threat within a five-hundred-kilometer radius.

After keeping his guard up for half a night, it was already early in the morning.

Amidst the din caused by the gongs and drums, the entire city was filled with the sounds of people. Colorful cloths were hung everywhere.

A twenty-feet-tall Sea God statue was moved out of the temple by eight strong Divine Envoys of Xiong Village and they began to roam the streets to show off their presence…

There were countless disciples surrounding the statue, and the people of all ages and gender vied to offer their greetings.

Li Changshou could clearly sense that his incense merit had increased by a small portion!

If I'm a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal now, I'll accept this merit.

Unfortunately… Li Changshou sighed secretly. He did not find it a pity.

Compared to merit, life was more important.

It was still the segment of the celebration where they would roam the streets. When the statue landed outside the city, the disciples gathered together…

That was the best time for him to strike!

Li Changshou continued to monitor his surroundings. Even though he wanted to deal with mortals, he did not relax.

At the same time, Li Changshou's paper effigies could not detect the location with their immortal senses…

The South Ocean was 1,000 kilometers away from Anshui City.

A treasure ship surrounded by immortal light drifted gently on the surface of the ocean. The treasure ship looked like a seashell, but it was actually a thousand feet in diameter.

At the edge of the treasure ship stood a group of immortal dragon soldiers from the Dragon Palace of the South Ocean.

In order to entertain Ao Yi and Han Zhi well, the Second Prince of the South Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Mou, had sent his personal guards over as guards.

The hundreds of Immortal Flood Dragons there were all at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm!

The immortal flood dragons could be considered one of the things that added to the prestige of the Dragon Palace.

It was hard for the Heavenly Courts to even gather a huge amount of resources to use a Perfected Immortal as a weapon.

In the past half a month, Ao Mou had lured Ao Yi and Han Zhi to the South Ocean to play.

He visited the Immortal Island on the sea and enjoyed the scenery at the bottom of the sea. He visited the Dragon Palace's treasure pool and searched for the secret land of the Sea Clan.

Han Zhi's mood was slightly better.

Seeing her master who had raised her suffering a calamity was akin to the pain of losing a family member. It would take some time for her to recover completely. He was floating on the ocean becau: bored.

At that moment, Han Zhi was consulting a few female musicians from the Sea Clan, who were at the Essence Immortal realm about music.

A group of beautiful sea maidens was dancing elegantly. However, the two Second Princes of the two Dragon Palaces stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the land in the north. They did not admire the dancing postures of the sea maidens…

When Ao Yi talked about the predicament of the Dragon race, Ao Mou sighed and euphemistically expressed his opinion.

Before he reached the age of ten, Ao Yi felt that everyone was drunk while he was sober.

The eleven or twelve-year-old Ao Yi realized that there were many people around him pretending to be drunk.

The current Ao Yi had long understood that many clansmen knew about the problem of the Dragon race. However, they were unable to change anything.

However, there were also those who were not too concerned about that major matter. They were really dragons who lived their lives in a drunken stupor.

Ao Mou was just like that.

Ao Yi had his hands behind his back. The delicate and handsome young man looked mature and steady after being jaded by reality.

"When will our race be able to soar above the Nine Clouds once again and be the proud ones amongst the hundred races?"

"Second Brother, you are too careless." Ao Mou smiled and said, "Isn't living like this tiring? The older generation must have thought of what we had thought of long ago. They will definitely do whatever they can. We are just worrying about nothing."

"How will I know if I don't try?" Ao Yi sighed softly and was about to continue speaking when he suddenly saw a cloud rising in the north.

The cloud carried a wisp of golden light as it quietly dissipated in the sky…

Ao Yiqi said, "Then?"

"I don't know either." Ao Mou turned around and shouted, "Prime Minister Turtle, come and explain!"

The Turtle Immortal, who was waiting for orders not far away, hurriedly agreed. He carried the turtle shell on his back and supported himself with his walking stick. He looked forward and answered, "Reporting to Your Highnesses, that was the phenomenon produced by the merit clouds when the humans worshiped the Sea God in the South Ocean. In recent years, a Sea God Sect has emerged in the South Sea. It has developed rapidly. We have also secretly investigated it. I wonder who that Sea God is."

"Luck and fortune… That's great."

Ao Yi's eyes were filled with emotions as he smiled bitterly.

Upon seeing this, Ao Mou was enraged.

"Even I, the mighty prince of the South Ocean's Dragon Palace, do not dare to call myself the Sea God! Men, activate your troops! Follow me to that unusual place! I want to see who the Sea God Sect's Sea God is!"

Prime Minister Turtle wanted to say something but he hesitated. However, the generals of the immortal flood dragon soldiers nearby had already agreed in unison.

Chapter 104 Something's Wrong with the Script

In fact, even Li Changshou, the Sea God, felt that the Sea God Ceremony in Anshui City…

was done quite well today.

Besides, it was already very difficult to gather such a large number of disciples at the border of the mortal world in the South Ocean.

Although there were too many people outside the city and it looked a little messy at first, there was no disturbance everywhere. The disciples were maintaining order on their own…

That alone was very rare.

However, Li Changshou still had not had a good impression of the Sea God Sect yet…

The original Village Chief of the Xiong Village was the current High Priest of the Sea God Sect, Yanyang, was wearing a black bear-hide jacket. He sat on the gold-plated throne and was carried out by four burly men…

The village chief was strong, to begin with. The scene looked like a black bear spirit being carried out of the city!

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

As expected, he should destroy the Sea God Sect as soon as possible.

The Sea God's statue was moved to a hill five kilometers away from the city. Hundreds of thousands of disciples in the city followed it out.

Li Changshou's immortal senses continued to envelop the place, and he soon discovered some interesting scenes.

Along the way, the gorgeous young girls were holding hands and singing songs.

The strong and energetic young men were all in high spirits. When they saw the girl they liked, they would go up and say—they would show off their sturdy and toned bodies under the pretext that they were fishing.

The large-scale celebration was also a good opportunity for young people to hook up with each other, ahem… to get to know each other and develop romantic relationships

The old men who were walking at slower speeds had strong young men supporting them from the side.

The lively children were being held onto tightly by their adults.

There were also some women in long skirts and solemn expressions everywhere in the crowd.

They scattered some dew-stained petals and leaves in the crowd. That was a blessing from the Sea God Sect.

Most of the disciples were singing missionary songs and smiling as they chased after the Sea God's back…

The atmosphere of the celebration was harmonious and warm.

When the statue stabilized, the eight Divine Envoys of Xiong Village were also drenched in sweat from exhaustion.

They quickly adjusted their auras and spread their legs with both hands behind their back. They stood on both sides of the statue.

There were more than a hundred burly men from Xiong Village. They were dressed in black short-sleeved shirts, leg-bound trousers, carrying huge sabers, double hammers, and other "heavy" weapons as they surrounded the statue…

"It's time to go," Li Changshou muttered to himself.

He slowly disappeared from the small courtyard and used the Earth Escape technique to rush to the statue.

It was almost time.

His immortal senses were focused on the disciples who were rushing towards the hill. Li Changshou could only apologize in his heart.

He was not an expert who could protect an entire place. The Primordial World was too big and too dangerous.

Now, he could not even pluck his own Dao Fruit of Longevity. Even if he continued being the Sea God, he could not protect those devotees.

After obtaining the merit from incense offerings, he would have to protect those who worshiped him. That was the rule of the Heavenly Dao.

Today, he would personally break the illusions of those devotees…

Great demon?

Li Changshou, who was about to appear underground, suddenly stopped.

The paper effigies that Li Changshou placed at the periphery, released his immortal senses to capture the strange scene in the sky.

It had indeed come

The Sea God Sect's ceremony this time was of the highest-scale in the past years.

Due to the rapid expansion of the Sea God Sect, they had already started a conflict with other sects this year. Li Changshou had predicted that the celebration today would attract some fiendish demons and ghouls that would cause trouble.

Li Changshou had a feeling that there were probably traces of people from the Western school behind him.

Someone must be thinking of finding out something about the Sea God Sect's background during the ceremony today… "Fortunately, I'm here.

Otherwise, how many negative karma will I have to gain if I let you start killing?" In the Pill Chamber of the Little Qiong Peak in the Immortal Du of the East Continent, Li Changshou's main body opened his eyes and raised his hand to grab the box in the corner of the Pill Chamber. He took out three black talismans with red words and secretly stuck them into his sleeve.

Then, he immediately conjured a seal with both hands and formed the Immortal Du Sect's lotus flower-shaped seal.

Wisps of immortal light stabilized his Essence Soul and strengthened his telepathic detection towards the paper effigies…

At the same time, about 600 kilometers northwest of Anshui City, three black shadows swept up a black cloud and flew towards Anshui City.

The black cloud was still far away and had yet to be discovered by the mortals of Anshui City. Li Changshou slowly closed his eyes and put his attention back onto the paper effigies.

This time, it was different from the past.

He realized that the three demons had already decided to attack. They did not hesitate.

He had already thought things through. Of course, the most important thing was that Li Changshou had made sufficient preparations for this trip to the South Sea.

In terms of defense, he had achieved the maximum he could.

If the paper effigies were to encounter any expert, they would instantly self-destruct and turn to dust.

In addition, the Immortal Du Sect had just suffered a calamity, and the Perfected Du'e from Ren School had appeared. The Immortal Du Sect had officially been recognized as a faction by the Three Sects.

Although the head disciple of the Ren School, Xuan Du, did not appear directly, there were rumors in the Immortal Du Sect that the Great Daoist Master had gone to Golden Ao Island and talked some sense into the disciples of the Jie School.

With someone backing him up, Li Changshou had more or less gained some confidence… to secretly steal a glance at the Western school…

He would not dare to kick them. Just looking at them made his heart ricochet in fear.

To be safe, the paper effigies had to pretend to be human Qi Refinement cultivators who were just passing by.

If he allowed the three demons who were in the Perfected Immortal realm to disturb the Anshui City's celebration, he would be considered to have gained negative karma for every mortal that died.

That was the reason he had to make a move.

The forces behind the three demons were too much of a bully…

In the eyes of some Connate lifeforms, mortals might only be Dharma artifacts that could provide merit from incense and karma, just like rice and wheat.

Retracting his attention, Li Changshou quickly began to attack.

In the direction of the three great demons, Li Changshou controlled a 'God' paper effigy and made it use Earth Escape to move 150 kilometers into the forest where there was no one.

He first used some illusions and the Transformation Technique to disguise the benevolent-looking old Daoist priest as a middle-aged Daoist.

After that, he released five original paper dolls and quickly set up an isolation array there. He also started preparing for the expiation ritual.

Immediately after, Li Changshou charged into the sky and faced the black clouds in the north-west. He generously blocked the path of the three demons and with a longsword in his hand!

Unlike before, this time, Li Changshou first pulled out the sword from its scabbard. A cold light flashed.

It… was actually a real sword!

However, don't be fooled by its appearance. It was actually a poison-dispersing Dharma artifact.

It was not quite accurate to call it a Dharma artifact. It should be considered a good-quality Dharma treasure.

It was a Dharma treasure specially used for poisoning.

The three demons hiding in the black cloud flew closer and let out a thunderous roar.

"Get lost!"

However, Li Changshou answered, "The world is now at peace. How can you demons cause trouble in the prosperous place of the humans!?!"

Then, he threw the sword in his hand forward!

He had obtained inspiration from Youqin Xuanya's sword case and found a simple sword-control swordsmanship. At that moment, both his hands were in the shape of sword fingers, forming sword seals one after another. It looked quite decent.

In an instant, the sword split into three, followed by nine. The sword flashed and he attacked the three demons in the black cloud!

The three demons could clearly sense Li Changshou's Perfected Immortal cultivation level.

They did not dare to be careless and attacked one after another. They maintained their demon forms and sacrificed numerous treasures.

However, the three demons were stunned when they saw the sword flying towards them.

The sword-reinforcement technique looked awe-inspiring. Why was its power… So weak?

The three demons sneered and wrapped themselves in black clouds. They charged at Li Changshou ferociously, ignoring the nine sword shadows that were constantly moving.

However, as the sword shadows trembled, wisps of colorless and odorless poisonous fog spread out from the blade of the sword and entered the bodies of the three demons, approaching their demonic souls…

The black cloud rushed in front of Li Changshou and stopped strangely…

The three demons struggled in the black cloud twice, but they did not let out any howls. Their huge bodies landed in the forest below and crashed into the isolation array.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

It was much easier than he had imagined.

He raised his hand and the sword returned to his hand, stained with demonic blood.

Li Changshou snorted coldly. "You three insignificant demons are not enough to force me to use my Twelve Individual Swords!"

With that, he lifted his sword and swung it downwards. He had the demeanor of an expert.

After a while, Li Changshou sent the three piles of ashes flying in the isolation array and retrieved the paper doll. He grabbed the Soul-Conserving Pearl and quickly searched the remaining scenes.

They were indeed Western demons.

Li Changshou shook his head slightly. After breaking the array formation, the paper effigy quickly sank into the ground and rushed towards the place where he was originally hiding. After this… Why is there more?

Trouble happened again before the matter came to a rest. Li Changshou's immortal senses captured another black cloud that was floating over in the north!

There were pitch-black crows inside, which seemed to have some cultivation level…

At the bottom of the hill, Li Changshou, who was about to jump out and smack the Sea God statue, twitched his lips slightly.

He shifted most of his attention to the paper effigy in the north and continued to destroy the demons…

Did I come here today to destroy the sect or to protect it?

Negative karma is really troublesome!

Outside Anshui City.

At that moment, many disciples had already arrived near the statue. After bowing and paying respects, they all read the teachings of the Sea God Sect.

Li Changshou placed a portion of his attention on that place. As he listened to the people outside sing, he felt a little emotional…

Although he had never cared about the Sea God Sect, he had gained some understanding after a few days of observation.

It was a pretty good sect.

Apart from the fact that the Divine Envoys in the sect were greedy, the Sea God Sect itself had a positive effect on maintaining safety and peace on one side…

Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would not have given him so much merit from incense offerings.

The teachings of the Sea God Sect were not complicated. There were also songs that spread about it. Apart from worshiping the Sea God, they also promoted kindness and peace, and advocated for people to "not give up when they were out at sea" because "the Sea God will always accompany them"…and so on.

Li Changshou had determined one of the teachings to be the important factor that the Sea God Sect could develop rapidly. "The Sea God will bring the lost souls in the sea to reincarnate. They will be able to appear by our side many years later."

It was obvious that someone in Xiong Village had made use of the matters of reincarnation in the underworld.

However, the existence of that doctrine allowed the disciples of the Sea God Sect to have a desire to fight and live when they went out to sea and faced some harsh environments.

As a result, many fishermen survived disasters.

The Sea God Sect did not do anything out of line. However, a faction secretly sent demons to cause trouble because they had possessed the merits from incense offerings.

This time, the operation was even faster.

Li Changshou relied on the paper effigy to launch a sneak attack. The True Samadhi Flames burned the murder of demonic crows.

Li Changshou quickly dealt with the ashes of the crows and focused his attention on the paper effigy that was hiding nearby.

The time was ripe.

Li Changshou did not dare to delay any further. He immediately terminated the Earth Escape technique.

This paper effigy maintained the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist. With his hands behind his back, he stepped on the clouds and appeared at a spot that was a thousand feet behind the statue, before slowly rising into the sky.

The huge hillside was filled with people, but at that moment, it was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard!

A woman pointed at the middle-aged Daoist and screamed.

"It's showing! The Sea God has appeared!"

"Everyone, run!"

"Why are you running? This is the Sea God!"

"Everyone, kowtow quickly! Thank you, Sea God, for protecting my wife and child!"

"Thank you, Sea God, for protecting my son from the sea!"

The scene instantly turned chaotic!

"Everyone, don't kneel!"

The village leader of Xiong Village suddenly shouted, "This is a demon. He doesn't look like our Sea God!"

"Fool! How could there be a Sea God in the South Ocean?!" Li Changshou shouted loudly, and his voice traveled 50 kilometers.

With a wave of his long sleeve, Li Changshou extended his palm. Li Changshou's immortal power condensed into a huge green palm that struck the statue!

Sorry, everyone…

When I find a way to return the merit from incense offerings to you, we will not owe each other anything…

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He felt a little disappointed and could not help but laugh bitterly.

The palm shadows were about to land!

Li Changshou suddenly caught a glimpse of a yellow glow that was rapidly condensing beside the statue…

In the next moment, the shadow of a huge ax appeared above the statue without warning in a bizarre manner.

The huge ax was held by a huge hand that was also formed from light. It struck Li Changshou's palm. Li Changshou's palm shadow, which was equivalent to an attack from an ordinary immortal, was actually struck by a huge ax…

It was defeated in an instant…

Report chapter

Chapter 105 The Secret About the Strongest in Xiong Village

Palm shadows, axes, thick arms…

This?

Li Changshou had always known that there were many extraordinary people in the Primordial World. He was just an ordinary human Qi Refinement cultivator.

However, he did not expect that he would be completely wrong!

Beside the statue, a burly man opened his mouth and spat out a yellow glow.

The beam of light condensed into the giant arm that held the huge ax and effortlessly dispersed Li Changshou's palm shadows!

In that instant…

Li Changshou's understanding of Xiong Village was completely shattered.

At first, he could tell that there was something unusual about Xiong Village. However, he was busy stabilizing his cultivation level after ascending. After observing for a while, he left quietly.

Later, the villagers of Xiong Village embarked on their plan to promote the Sea God Sect and accumulate wealth. They subsequently developed it to its current scale.

During this process, Li Changshou would occasionally pay attention to the people in Xiong Village.

However, Li Changshou could not see any flaws in those guys who looked like they were only physically well-developed at first glance. He only thought that they were a little greedy.

Sometimes, when he saw how honest and naive they looked, he even felt that some people lived simple lives and were kind and simple-minded…

He did not expect that…

He did not expect it at all!

He had been fooled by those naive-looking fellows for so many years!

Li Changshou admitted that he had indeed concealed his abilities a little too much at times.

However, compared to the people from Xiong Village, he was definitely inferior. They beat him to it!

The Sea God Sect of the South Ocean might as well change its name to the 'Unguessable Sect'!

The men, women, and young of Xiong Village can stage an act together. The strange fish that carried me back then might have been deliberately caught by them…

At that moment, Li Changshou's heart was filled with three words—It's a scheme.

However, Li Changshou did not panic. Although he was shocked, it did not affect his judgment of the situation.

Li Changshou controlled the paper Daoist and immediately retreated at an extremely fast speed. However, the giant arm slashed the palm shadow before grabbing the huge ax and charging towards Li Changshou.

The scene was inexplicably peculiar…

A burly man with muscles all over his body opened his mouth and spat out an earth-yellow glow. Within the glow, a huge ax and an arm were formed. Like a living creature, it chased after Li Changshou and slashed him.

The attack seemed to be extremely slow, but Li Changshou could sense the faint and mysterious Dao runes on it.

It seemed to be slow but it was actually fast. It seemed to be light but it was heavy!

This was completely different from the Daoist techniques and mystical abilities that Li Changshou knew!

Li Changshou could not sense the strength it contained, but he did not dare to underestimate the power of the ax.

He quickly moved horizontally in the air, barely dodging the ax.

However, a crack that was a few thousand feet long silently appeared on the hill behind him…

His immortal senses suddenly captured it, and another light shone brilliantly beside him!

In the blink of an eye, Li Changshou's body immediately soared into the sky. An arrow swiftly brushed past his feet. Its power was definitely enough to pierce through the paper effigy that was being supported by his immortal power!

When he lowered his head, he saw that something was amiss with another burly man.

That person did not suddenly change and become equipped with axes. His arms, which were originally very buff, were now of the same width as an ordinary person's…

The two arms were glowing like glass.

Then, the man's hands turned into the shape of a bow and an arrow. The light on his arms condensed into longbows and arrows.

Li Changshou rushed into the clouds in a flash and immediately swayed left and right. He barely managed to dodge another arrow…

The arrow pierced through a white cloud and exploded in the sky.

Li Changshou continued to fly into the sky. When he reached the height where the arrow had exploded, the threat below disappeared.

He looked down… A group of strong men dressed in black waved the weapons in their hands and flaunted their prowess in front of Li Changshou's paper effigy. They made "oh" sounds like they were mocking Li Changshou.

Throughout the years of the development of the Sea God Sect, the men and women of Xiong Village had traveled all over the world. They were considered experienced and knowledgeable.

They were no longer the simple villagers of Xiong Village.

Back then, when they saw some Qi Refinement cultivators that could fly, they would think that they were gods and immortals and would kneel to pray for blessings.

Now, they had sent their Sea God's incarnation high up in the sky and made him not dare to descend. They were even laughing and cursing below.

"Come down! Coward!"

"You're playing tricks! If you have the ability, come down and fight with me!"

At this moment, Li Changshou was not the only one who was stunned. The group of mortal devotees below was also stunned…

The village chief, who had dressed up as a black bear, reacted quickly.

The village leader rolled his eyes and immediately shouted, "The manifestation of the Sea God! It is the manifestation of the Sea God that had bestowed his godly powers on the Divine Envoys! Thank you, Sea God, for your blessing! The might of the Sea God cannot be violated!"

All of a sudden, the devotees in the surroundings shouted loudly. Their voices were like a tsunami.

This group of disciples kowtowed to the statue once again. Many of them had fervent looks in their eyes. The scene was spectacular… That works too?

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had used the paper avatar to go to that village because he wanted to tell those devotees that there was no Sea God.

However, he had made a thorough plan today. In order to protect the devotees in that place, he had killed two powerful demons that were attacking him…

In the end, he had been chased by the Divine Envoys of his Sect for a while! What kind of ridiculous thing was that?

It was the biggest joke in the world!

Perhaps, he should be the most embarrassing "Incense God" in history…

Originally, Li Changshou had thought that the Sea God Sect would become a hidden danger in the future and that there would be negative karma in the future. Therefore, he had to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

From the looks of it, he might have been used by the people from Xiong Village.

Those devotees have really filthy hearts!

In the sky, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across Li Changshou's eyes. He grabbed two porcelain bottles…

However, he realized that if he really did that, he would only cause trouble for himself for no reason.

Moreover, there might be a terrifying presence behind the people from the Xiong Village.

He had to figure out the backgrounds of those people first.

A small detail was quickly captured by Li Changshou. The burly man who had spat out his arms and ax earlier was now sitting beside the statue, in low spirits

The burly man, who had just turned his arm into the same width as that of an ordinary person's, had also lowered his arm, unable to lift it up…

Could it be the power of bloodline?

How could humans possess such a bloodline power?

Li Changshou's heart was suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning. He looked at the group of people who were flaunting their prowess and recalled a few ancient classics.

After Pangu split the Heaven and Earth, his Essence Soul turned into Three Pure Ones, and his corpse produced another race—Magi.

The Magi grew slowly in ancient times. They had the protection of merit, and a small amount of divine power left behind by God Pangu. The twelve ancestral Magi summoned the wind and the rain and had the power to control the ancient laws. There were countless Grand Magus and Battle Magi in the race.

After the war between the dragons and phoenixes, the Magi became the strongest one out of the hundred races.

They gradually became complacent and bullied the masses.

The Hundred Races were not convinced and gradually joined forces. The Golden Crow Race was led by the East Emperor Tai Yi and Di Jun who were born from the Sun Planet. They called themselves the Saints and fought against the Magi for many years.

After that, the Saints gradually became known as the Demons. The East Emperor and Di Jun had established themselves as Demon Emperors and established the Heavenly Courts of the demon race at the top of Mount Buzhou…

The Magi and demons had fought three battles and destroyed the destiny of the two races, which resulted in the rise of the human

race.

man race

Due to the hatred between the human race and the demons that could not be resolved, the Magi gradually married the humans during the long period before the third battle between the Magi and demons, thus resulting in the birth of Magihuman.

The war had come to an end, and the Magi were sealed in the North Continent. The demons had retreated to the border between the continents, while the Magihuman had the power of the human race, and the abilities of Magi. They were also quite powerful. However, in the process of the human race's rise at the end of the ancient era, the more ferocious Magihumans were gradually suppressed.

One of the more famous battles was the Luck-seizing Battle between the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You.

After that, the Magihumans gradually disappeared.

Could it be…

Li Changshou looked at the lively devotees below and felt apprehensive.

Is this really the lineage of the ancient Magi?

Was it because the ancestors had lived in a corner of the South Ocean and had escaped the calamity of the Magihumans, so they survived until now?

Tsk, the more I look at it, the more likely it is…

Li Changshou put away the porcelain bottle in his hand and frowned as he observed the situation below.

Things were getting more and more troublesome.

During the long years of the Great Magi-Demon War, the living beings in the world had died in batches. Countless lonely souls lingered in the sky and gradually dissipated.

The Ancestral Magus, the Great Virtue Empress, could not bear to see that happen. She sacrificed herself and returned to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Therefore, most of the living beings today owed the Great Virtue Empress some karma. Moreover, a portion of the remaining members of the Magi had gone to the netherworld to take over their duties.

The fact that these fellows from Xiong Village can use such mystical abilities means that the proportion of the Magus bloodline in their bodies is definitely not low…

Li Changshou kept thinking about it. At this moment, he had already come up with a way to deal with those villagers.

Incapacitating agents and array formations could easily achieve the effects he wanted.

However, the first plan to destroy the Divine Sect was useless.

Unless he made up his mind to destroy Xiong Village, the Sea God Sect would continue to expand rapidly in front of people…

At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly realized that another huge black cloud was pressing down on the sea in the northwest direction.

There were six demons in the cloud, and their demonic auras covered the sky.

They were as arrogant as ever! It was obvious that someone did not want to give up the opportunity. They wanted to take advantage of that gathering to destroy the Sea God Sect…

Li Changshou felt a little helpless. Although he had the same goal as the other party, he could not let the mortal devotees be harmed for no reason.

Yes, this Xiong Village…

Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and made it dive downwards suddenly. He dodged the arrow and immediately flew towards the northwest.

He secretly cast the Wind Speech Incantation and imitated the voice of the "Black Bear Spirit", the village chief below.

He yelled into the ears of the people of Xiong Village, "Chase!

Don't let him escape!"

In an instant, more than a hundred strong men ran at the same time. They were indeed not slow.

"Why did I speak?"

The village chief was stunned. Then, he quickly shouted and stopped most of the people.

The twenty or so people who were running the fastest had already bypassed the disciples who were being pressed down by the dark clouds and were running towards the north-west direction. They were howling wildly…

Their speed was even faster than that of ordinary cultivators who had yet to become immortals.

Magi were good at running. They were the masters of the earth. Li Changshou secretly observed those beings who were "suspected Magihumans". At the same time, he was prepared to kill the six Grand Magus.

He wanted to see how strong the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village were and whether they could give him other "shocks".

However…

Li Changshou's immortal senses discovered another dark cloud in the south. He felt a little helpless.

What's going on today? A mere gathering of the Sea God Sect has caused so many factions to react?

On the ocean in the south, a black cloud rapidly pressed towards Anshui City.

It was not a demon. There were rows of immortal flood dragon troops on the black cloud who should have been the elite soldiers of the Dragon Palace in the South Ocean.

Li Changshou thought about it and decided not to bother about it. He continued to lead the twenty or so people from Xiong Village to fight the great demons that were thousands of kilometers away…

However, the endurance of those men from Xiong Village was not strong.

They only chased after Li Changshou for tens of kilometers but they were already panting heavily and had gradually slowed down.

Li Changshou had no choice but to deal with the matter of exterminating the demons himself.

Later on, should I deliberately let a big demon come over to test the combat power of these people from Xiong Village?

Li Changshou quickly dismissed that idea. He did not need to perform such a redundant test…

The people in Anshui City were about to start fighting! The black cloud from the South Ocean had already arrived above Anshui City.

Rows of Immortal Flood Dragon troops looked down from above. There was a murderous aura between heaven and earth. The mortals below were once again shocked.

The row of Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers at the front retreated and two figures walked out side by side.

Li Changshou scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and his heart tensed up. He nearly fell from the clouds!

Ao Yi!

Oh no, this guy knows my statue! At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly wanted to give up on thinking, follow the flow, burn the paper effigies, and never come to the South Ocean again.

Could this be the place where he would suffer bad luck?

However, the development of the matter was far beyond Li Changshou's expectations…

At that moment, the "main character" was not Ao Yi. Instead, it was the tall, thin, and somewhat weak foreign dragon prince beside Ao Yi…

Ao Mou scanned the area below. He did not sense any aura fluctuations. He only sensed two to three Soul Formation human Qi Refinement cultivators.

Then, he snorted and thought of showing off in front of Ao Yi, his Second Brother.

He said calmly, "How dare you call yourselves the South Ocean Sea God Sect? Someone, go and smash that statue!"

"Okay!"

The few Immortal Flood Dragon troops received the orders. They did not know what they were going to face next.

Chapter 106 Li Changshou Who Was Not Confident Enough

Below the isolation array formation in the forest, the orange-red fire rose into the sky. Amidst the flames, the six demon corpses were rapidly melting.

The flames rose hundreds of feet high and emitted heat waves. Spiritual energy spewed out and illuminated… Li Changshou's listless eyes.

He raised his hands as if he were sensing the temperature of the True Flames. His heart, however, felt extremely chilly.

Ver

The three paper dolls turned into three people of different ages. They stood outside the fire and chanted sutras.

They were still chanting the Amitabha Sutra, the Salvation Sutra, and the Blessing Spell. They hit the wooden fish in their hands with a tool. The Soul-Suppressing Bell was swaying.

That place was 350 kilometers northwest of Anshui City, deep in a desolate valley.

He stopped the six demons and engaged in a bloody battle. He wasted some poisonous pills and killed them.

The paper effigy that Li Changshou had hidden under Anshui City, spread out his immortal senses to observe what was happening. Li Changshou was already having a headache since he found out that there were Magihumans in Xiong Village.

However, that matter was not unsolvable.

However, the sudden appearance of the dragons made it seem like they were going to fight, especially since Ao Yi was there…

That made Li Changshou more or less want to destroy all of that karma.

Impulsiveness was a demonic resistance. He could not mess around.

Li Changshou recited the Steadiness Sutra in his heart and quickly thought of a solution.

The most troublesome problem now was that Ao Yi knew him. The Sea God of the South Ocean and the Immortal Du Sect's inferior immortal seedling Li Changshou would be connected to him.

The easiest way was to kill all of them.

However, that was also the crudest and unreliable method. It would result in the most karma, and it was handled too roughly.

He could not be anxious precisely because of what the situation was like now. He had to come up with a better solution in time.

Li Changshou was never one to sit around and wait for death.

It was his Little Aunt-Master, the Jiu Immortal's habit to obtain victory while being impulsive. She had the protection of the "This is probably justice" aura.

If he was not strong enough and deliberately schemed against them, he would be walking on a tightrope… Li Changshou had always insisted on the principle of pursuing a life of stability which would produce wealth and longevity. That had already been ingrained in his mind. He did not want to take any risks.

The problem now was that he did not take the risk himself.

He was just standing there while risks were covering him layer by layer like rings of fire.

Li Changshou was actually rather glad that he had discovered the problem in time.

The members of the Dragon Palace should have been attracted by the Sea God Ceremony. It had nothing to do with Li Changshou's appearance.

If Li Changshou did not turn up there, perhaps… he wouldn't even know how he died!

"When I was repairing the array formation for Little Aunt-Master, I had a sudden impulse. I felt that something was about to happen, but now, I've come into contact with it."

Li Changshou gradually came up with a plan in his heart. His mind started to operate at the same time.

His main body flew out of the Pill Chamber and towards the lake.

The 'God' paper effigy there continued to deal with the corpses. The 'Heaven' paper effigy, which was hiding under Anshui City, was ready to take action at any moment and take down the Dragon Palace.

The people in Anshui City had yet to start a complete battle, but both parties were already at each other's throats.

When the members of the Dragon Palace first appeared, the village chief of Xiong Village looked timid, but he was shocked by them.

However, the old village chief saw that more than ten Immortal Flood Dragon troops had rushed down to destroy their Sea God's statue…

To many mortals, cutting off one's wealth was like killing their parents.

The old village chief of Xiong Village panicked. He shouted, "Hold them down!"

The twenty or so villagers beside him opened their mouths and spat out a wave of earth-colored light. It transformed into arms, legs, and the head of a ferocious god. All of them unleashed their abilities, causing the Immortal Flood Dragon troops to be stunned…

A few Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers were knocked to the ground. Seven to eight Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers were sent flying back, each injured.

A group of men swarmed forward and stopped the Immortal Flood Dragon troops that were left behind. Their fists and legs collided, and violent conflict ensued.

The witches had the ability to capture dragons and fight against phoenixes. Moreover, it was a natural mystical ability.

There were still more than a hundred thousand mortals present. The entire mountain was filled with the devotees of the Sea God Sect. When they saw the Divine Envoys display their might, they were excited.

At that moment, the scene was extremely chaotic. Many adults covered the eyes of children and told them not to look around…

Fortunately, there were no large-scale riots or stampedes. Ao Mou who was on the cloud was also scared by the fierceness of the Xiong Village Magihumans who caused him to retreat. He unknowingly stood behind Ao Yi…

Fortunately, the old village chief was still rational and shouted, "Don't kill them!"

Only then did he save those few Immortal Flood Dragon soldiers that were almost torn apart.

In the forest, Li Changshou continued to roast some fire. He coughed and continued to deal with the corpses of the six demons.

When they were almost done chanting the sutras, the flames weakened.

A burly man in the form of a paper doll beside him took out his trumpet and raised his head to play a melody with a hint of sadness.

Another paper doll that transformed into a woman was reciting poems and burning some yellow paper to comfort her soul in the wilderness…

Li Changshou looked at his carefully-designed funeral service and smiled bitterly.

What is the use of ending this small karma?

I've not gotten myself embroiled with huge karma. If I do not handle it well, I will probably die.

However, he was still not forced into a dead end.

There was hope for everything. He still had a chance of survival, which could allow him to continue to seek stability…

He still had a chance to stabilize the situation.

Li Changshou squinted his eyes slightly and lifted his hand to blow away the pile of ashes in front of him. He felt slightly comfortable.

Due to the comfort, he had more thoughts.

With his hands behind his back, he started multitasking…

His immortal senses focused on the situation over there. The Immortal Flood Dragon troops were about to charge downwards when Ao Yi shouted, "Stop!" The old village chief of Xiong Village also shouted, "Let them go back!" Only then did a group of burly men from Xiong Village toss aside the few Immortal Flood Dragon troops, who had been held down and beaten up. The troops then flew back to the clouds with bruised faces and swollen faces…

Ao Yi seemed to have discovered something. He flew to the front of the statue and studied it carefully.

His delicate face was soon filled with shock.

There was not much time left for Li Changshou… "Then, take the initiative and attack."

Li Changshou took a deep breath. There was only determination in his eyes. He focused on multitasking and getting everything to work simultaneously!

In the forest deep in the valley, the paper effigy crawled underground and rushed towards Anshui City.

The paper effigy under Anshui City had already stealthily reached the bottom of the statue, ready to unleash its immortal powers at any moment.

At the same time, on Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, in the straw hut by the lake.

Li Changshou got his junior sister Lan Ling'e to join him and woke his master who had unknowingly fallen asleep during cultivation.

Then, Li Changshou activated the array formation in the straw hut, lifted the hem of his Daoist robe, and knelt in front of his master. Ling'e and Qi Yuan were shocked…

"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Ling'e panicked.

She had never seen her senior brother having such a solemn expression. Even when the sect suffered a calamity previously, her senior brother had always been calm.

Qi Yuan frowned and said, "Changshou, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Master, I'm sorry." Li Changshou lowered his head and said, "Today, I have caused huge karma. I might implicate Master and Ling'e in the future. If this matter gets exposed one day, and an expert wants to kill me, please, Master, and Ling'e… Don't bother about me." Qi Yuan quickly said, "Changshou, don't scare me. Aren't you fine?" "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Ling'e hurriedly walked forward and knelt beside Li Changshou. She grabbed Li Changshou's arm and her eyes turned red. "Don't say that. Can't we hide at the ends of the earth?"

"There's nowhere to hide this time."

Li Changshou shook his head and sighed. "Master, Junior Sister, there's not much time left. You guys, agree first."

Qi Yuan let out a long sigh with a warm smile on his face.

The old Daoist priest smiled and said, "If you get into trouble, how can I not care?"

Li Changshou's face grew gloomy. "If I don't handle this properly, I might implicate the Zenith Heaven and the sect.

"There might be countless karma and terrible consequences."

Qi Yuan smiled again. "I'm just a Turbid Immortal. Why should I be afraid?"

"Master!"

Li Changshou's heart warmed up, and his eyes flickered. "Hey, disciple!"

Qi Yuan raised his hand and patted Li Changshou's shoulder lightly. Instantly, the straw hut became much warmer.

Ling'e, on the other hand, blinked.

If? Perhaps?

Ling'e asked softly, "Senior Brother, have you… not done it yet?"

Li Changshou nodded and said, "That's right. I'm about to do it."

*Coughs* "You!"

Qi Yuan's aura surged. He raised his horsetail whisk and was about to hit him. "You haven't done it yet! Why are you shouting here?!"

Li Changshou's figure flashed backward and he revealed a smile.

"To be safe, I decided to inform Master and Junior Sister before I do it. If anything happens later, you don't have to care about me. Master, you can just expel me from the sect and cut off all ties with me. Master, I'll take it that you've agreed. I'll go back now. I can't be distracted."

After saying that, Li Changshou turned around and was about to fly back to the Pill Chamber. Qi Yuan hesitated, but Lingle hurriedly chased after him.

"Senior Brother! Are you confident this time?"

Li Changshou did not even turn his head. Instead, he said, "Not really."

Ling'e quickly asked, "How confident are you, exactly?"

"About eighty-five percent."

Li Changshou sighed and disappeared into the forest.

Ling'e also frowned. Eighty-five percent confidence is indeed not much…

"Huh?"

Ling'e blinked.

She felt that something was wrong with her thoughts, but she could not find the root of the problem.

When he returned to the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou activated the various Bewitching Array Formations, Trapping Array Formations, concealment arrays, and warning arrays. He also hung up the Sensing Stones.

A fire was set up in the Pill Furnace, and the paper dolls were guarding it. The scene of Anshui City surfaced in his mind.

The battle between the people and the dragons was already ready to begin.

At that moment, Ao Yi had completely recognized the Sea God's statue. He looked hesitant, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Li Changshou cast the Smoke Escape technique and delved into the ground. He walked through the stone path, pushed open the wooden door, and sat in the circular chair behind the desk in the secret underground chamber.

Come on.

Victory or defeat!

In an instant, Li Changshou made up his mind. His thoughts cleared up and he analyzed the situation that might happen next.

His current crisis was that the Sea God's identity was about to be exposed.

Ao Yi could not kill him directly. If he killed him, he would incur the wrath of the dragon race…

In addition, the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect were Magihumans. The experts of the Western Sect were already going to deal with the Sea God Sect…

In front of Li Changshou, there seemed to be swaying ropes. Only one of them was safe. If he held onto it, he could continue climbing up the path to immortality.

The other ropes would be dragged down with force… and he would be dealt with by knives and poison…

The ropes swayed, but Li Changshou felt a sense of peace in his heart. He smiled.

It was as if he had already grabbed one of them…

"Since I can't come up with any ideas previously, I'll try to change my train of thought."

Li Changshou took the initiative to sense it. Following the incense, he quickly sent a wisp of his attention to the outside of the Peace City on the South Ocean. At that moment, a large amount of merit from incense offerings were gathered on the statue.

At the same time, outside Anshui City.

Ao Yi kept looking at the statue's face. He had already recognized it to be "Brother Changshou". While he was shocked, he had many thoughts.

Why did Brother Changshou become the Sea God of the South Ocean?

Is this… a plan hatched by the Ren School?

But why is it a disciple like Brother Changshou who had yet to become an immortal?

Although Brother Changshou is very outstanding, gentle, and refined, ultimately… Suddenly, Ao Yi was stunned.

Ao Yi felt that the statue seemed to have come alive and had a hint of spirituality.

Below, the burly men from Xiong Village had already discussed. All of them glared at the clouds, determined to defend the Sea God's honor.

At that moment, Ao Mou had already made up his mind. He immediately wanted the Immortal Flood Dragon troops to kill and teach the South Ocean Sea God Sect a lesson.

However, something unexpected happened!

There was a slight tremor from the ground. The two-feet-tall stone statue swayed and slowly rose into the sky. Immortal light surrounded it, and the forehead of the statue flickered!

A faint chant sounded from the statue…

Those phenomena were naturally caused by the paper effigy underground. The people from the Dragon Palace looked at each other.

All the mortal devotees in the mountain range bowed in unison. The oldest was a woman in her eighties while the youngest was a teenage girl. They all looked extremely excited. Just as Ao Yi was about to speak, a voice transmission entered his ears…

"Brother Yi, how much do you know about the current predicament of the dragon race?"

Ao Yi was stunned whilst on the cloud.

Report chapter

Chapter 107 Suddenly, The Dragon Becomes Lame

Brother Changshou? Ao Yi immediately looked around but could not find Li Changshou.

He looked at the stone statue in front of him and felt even more shocked.

Could it be that Brother Changshou had already started to walk the path of becoming a god before he became an immortal? Could it be that the statue of him is sending voice transmissions to me?!

However, Li Changshou chuckled as he spoke, as if he had seen through Ao Yi's thoughts…

"Brother Yi, there's no need for you to say anything for now. The cause and effect of this matter are complicated, and it's difficult to explain it in a short time. I'm right here, right now. The statue's sudden manifestation is just a trick. The last time we talked, I learned that you're very worried about the current predicament of the Dragon race. Recently, I have also thought of a few countermeasures for you, Brother Yi. If you trust me, please let these Immortal Flood Dragon troops of the South Ocean Dragon Palace retreat temporarily. Brother Yi, please wait here for a while. After I perform this ceremony, I will meet you again. Is that okay, Brother Yi?"

Ao Yi's expression changed slightly, and he nodded calmly.

He was about to leave in the air when he heard Li Changshou's voice. "There's something I need your help with…"

Blah blah blah…

Li Changshou transmitted a few words and Ao Yi quickly nodded.

Ao Yi shouted softly, but a dragon's roar sounded in the sky!

In an instant, rays of light filled the air, and clouds appeared!

Ao Yi revealed his thousand-feet long body and pointed at the Sea God statue's dragon head. His slender body swayed gently and flew into the sky. The scene was spectacular.

The burly men from Xiong Village and the devotees below were stunned…

The azure dragon hovered in the sky before it slowly flew back to the front of the Immortal Flood Dragon troops and transformed into an elegant young man. "Second Brother!"

Ao Mou rolled up his sleeves and immediately came forward.

"Second Brother, I've already sent people back to dispatch the troops. Today, we will destroy the South Ocean Sea God Sect! We'll smash all the South Ocean Sea God Temples here!"

"No." Ao Yi frowned. "I'll deal with this matter. Bring the troops back to the surface of the sea. Do not harm mortals and increase our negative karma."

Ao Mou frowned. "Second Brother, we…"

He leaned closer to Ao Yi and muttered, "Isn't it embarrassing for us to be acting like this?"

"Is pride more important than our lives?"

Ao Yi said calmly, "We must try not to offend Ren[1]. I'm not referring to living beings." "Not a living being? You mean… the Ren School!?!"

Ao Mou was enlightened. He glared at the Sea God statue. "Second Brother, this is!"

"Don't say anything else. Let's go first. I will handle this matter properly."

Ao Yi raised his hand and patted Ao Mou's arm. "If there's a chance later, I will introduce a wonderful person to you."

Ao Mou understood and smiled.

"I understand. Second Brother, go ahead and get busy here.

I will explain to Fairy Han Zhi that you have something important to do here.

Later, I'll bring along a wonderful person… No, I'll bring two!" After saying that, Ao Mou winked and laughed loudly. With a wave of his sleeve, he commanded the troops to retreat.

The Immortal Flood Dragon troops took care of the wounded. The black cloud immediately flew towards the South Sea.

Ao Yi rode a cloud and flew to a nearby mountain forest. He did not pay much attention to the mortals' kowtows and gazes.

Although Ao Yi could sense that something had gone wrong with his conversation with Ao Mou, he could not be bothered with such trivial matters.

Ao Yi was very interested in the two sentences Li Changshou mentioned. "The current predicament of the Dragon race."

"I did not establish the Sea God Sect."

The first sentence made it impossible for Ao Yi to leave the place. He wanted to ask Li Changshou about the matter and see if Li Changshou could give him some inspiration.

The second sentence made Ao Yi's thoughts run wild…

If the Sea God Sect was not established by Brother Changshou, who else could it be?

Ao Yi had long known that the Dao Sect, the Western Sect, the Great Sect, the Great Immortal Sect, and the various experts had been plotting the matter regarding incense for a long time. On the way here, Ao Yi had heard from the Immortal Turtle that the South Ocean Sea God Sect had developed to a considerable scale in just a few years. It was indeed rare…

Could it be that someone is behind this?

But why must Brother Changshou appear?

In the forest, Ao Yi fell into deep thought. He also observed the situation of the manifestation of the Sea God.

At that moment, Ao Yi did not know that he had fallen into the "trap" that Li Changshou had thrown out.

If he wanted to deceive someone…

It was not too accurate to say that he was "bluffing". After all, Li Changshou was a proper disciple of a Daoist sect. He was upright and innocent. Besides the fact that he was hiding some trump cards, he was not a bad person.

To be precise, it should be:

"If you want to abduct someone, what are you going to do first?"

The first step was to first make that person interested in what he was going to say so that he could make the other party stay, which was the beginning of everything.

Li Changshou had already begun the second step. He was giving Ao Yi some hints and giving him enough space to imagine. He wanted Ao Yi to think about it.

Later, Li Changshou would follow Ao Yi's reaction and choose the subsequent steps… According to Li Changshou, it was on par with the "Steadiness Sutra". It was one of the teaching books used by his junior sister Ling'e. It could be described as the content of "Volume Of Tricks" of the three classics of "Stabilizing Little Qiong Peak".

The third step could be to play hard to get. It could be to advance by retreating, or it could also be to gain momentum…

In short, Ao Yi chose to stay there and had already entered a quagmire.

Li Changshou calculated that his chances of surviving this tribulation had increased by another twenty-three points!

After stabilizing Ao Yi, it was time to tidy up Xiong Village.

The statue emitted an immortal glow from the sky and slowly landed on the ground. Be it the burly man from the Xiong Village or the disciples, they kept kowtowing.

A phantom image flew out of the statue. Its face was blurry, and its figure seemed to be formed from light.

It was actually Li Changshou's little trump card, the Flying Feather Substitution Technique that he used when he was escaping. However, in an instant, he made three fake bodies that were identical to his.

The fake body was formed from immortal power, but it could be condensed within the stone statue.

However, Li Changshou did not expect to use that escape technique there…

However, it was fine. Li Changshou had a few complete escape techniques.

"The escape technique is only the basics. These 'small tricks' that can be changed at random are actually equally important." The fake body spoke slowly, and its voice spread throughout the wilderness. The tens of thousands of mortals fell silent, kneeling on the ground and listening quietly.

"I have manifested my True Spirit and created a good fortune for everyone. Please be thrifty, friendly, and protective of the old and the young. Do not be afraid of hardship and you will gain happiness. Today, I will teach the teachings of the Sea God Sect. All of you must remember this. Be a good person and follow heaven and earth…"

Li Changshou then summarized the teachings of the Sea God Sect that he had heard over the past few days. He used three simple sentences and mixed in some of his own Steadiness Sutra…

While the paper effigy that was hiding under the statue was reciting the sutra, the other paper effigy had already returned. Li Changshou secretly observed the reaction of the people from Xiong Village. He discovered that most of the burly men were kneeling on the ground in awe.

However, the old village chief and a few Divine Envoys had complicated expressions on their faces. They knelt there, looking confused.

What? There really is a Sea God?

"Hmph!"

The few of them suddenly heard a cold snort, followed by the voice transmission of Li Changshou's other paper effigy. Li Changshou said, "When I was patrolling the ocean, I was picked up by you from the undersea carriage. You saw my face. You know that I am the Sea God and even built a temple for me in the South Ocean. Why? Why are you all kneeling and not bowing when I personally appear?"

The old village chief frowned. Just as he was about to signal to them, he kowtowed for the time being…

The few Divine Envoys at the side suddenly rolled their eyes and slowly lay down on the ground.

The old village chief was shocked.

Li Changshou's voice entered the old village chief's ears. "I will punish them by taking their souls for a few days. They will wake up a few days later. When the time comes, you can ask them if they remember anything."

In fact, it was just some Soft Immortal Disperser. Li Changshou had increased the dosage.

The old village chief shivered a few times, and his Adam's apple trembled. Li Changshou's voice transmission kept entering his ears like a demonic voice…

"Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because you have the bloodline of the witches? However, because I have an old relationship with your ancestors, I did not care about you using my name to earn money."

"Did your ancestors warn you not to go out and hide in that corner? Is there a precept that tells you not to marry women from outside the village? And that women can choose husbands but not marry outsiders? Is there a special instruction for each generation's leader to not cause trouble? What have you done all these years?"

The old village chief broke out in cold sweat, and his body trembled even more violently. His pupils were starting to turn glassy.

The Sea God was real, really…

Every question felt like a heavy burden weighing down on the old village chief's back. It kept him suppressed and lowered.

That voice appeared in his heart again.

"Does your Xiong Village still want to continue existing?

"If you guys don't want to, I'll get rid of you guys, lest you tarnish your ancestors' reputation."

"We do, we do!"

The old village chief hurriedly shouted and looked up at the statue. However, he happened to see the image of the statue explaining the scriptures.

The latter lowered his eyes and head.

At that moment, the statue seemed to come to life. Its eyes were filled with coldness.

The old village chief was ultimately just a "mortal". At that moment, the defense in his heart had completely collapsed. He lay on the ground, kowtowing, and crying… "Sea God, please punish me, just punish me! I am greedy, I am greedy! I came up with this idea. The people in our village merely listened to me!"

"If that's the case, your soul will be punished for a few days."

Li Changshou snorted again. A wisp of incapacitating agent entered the old village chief's nose. The old man immediately fell to the ground.

It just so happened that the "Sea God", who had just finished teaching, slowly dissipated on the statue.

A voice transmission entered the hearts of the other villagers of Xiong Village.

"The celebrations will continue. Maintain the order here. Do not let anyone get hurt.

The High Priest has been greedy for money for a long time, but he did not make a huge mistake. I will punish him a little today and bring his soul back to receive punishment. He will wake up in a few days. Since you respect me as the Sea God, you will also be given the title of living beings and understand the logic of foolishness in the future. Don't do anything dirty and undeserving, shoulder the responsibility of a Divine Envoy, and protect the devotees!"

As the voice fell, the light on the statue dissipated at the same time…

The group of burly men from Xiong Village trembled. They looked at the High Priest and the Divine Envoy who were lying on the ground under the statue's feet and did not dare to go forward to support them.

As expected, the village chief was too greedy. He had been punished by the Sea God…

Many devotees cheered when they saw that.

The Sea God Ceremony continued. The devotees were excited. They took turns to offer incense and pray for the Sea God. Li Changshou counted with his fingers. His merit from incense offerings… were surging.

Ao Yi sat cross-legged in the open space in the forest and pondered silently. He had just heard the teachings of the Sea God Sect and felt a little admiration for his Brother Changshou.

Not far away, more than a hundred thousand humans continued to celebrate. Ao Yi stared at the rising clouds of merit, his eyes filled with envy.

Once upon a time, the dragon race had been like that too…

"Brother Yi?"

A human voice came from the side. Ao Yi hurriedly stood up and looked over. He saw a middle-aged Daoist walking over.

The Daoist priest smiled and recited the poem that the two of them had read the last time they met. Ao Yi also saw that he was using an illusion technique on him, and he immediately understood something.

Ao Yi carefully sensed that the Daoist was at the eighth-stage of the Void Return realm. His identity was confirmed.

He was Li Changshou, a disciple of the Ren School.

Li Changshou bowed and said, "I've embarrassed myself, Brother Yi."

"Brother Changshou, you're too kind." Ao Yi cupped his fists and bowed as he strolled along with Li Changshou.

Li Changshou had already observed Ao Yi's reaction and came to a conclusion. He knew which "Third Step" he should choose next.

Li Changshou looked at Ao Yi and set up a simple soundproof barrier around them. He said seriously, "Brother Yi, what do you think of the South Ocean Sea God Sect?"

Ao Yi nodded slowly and said, "The people of the sect do good deeds. They are not simply plundering the incense. They are extraordinarily meaningful."

Li Changshou smiled as if he had expected his reply.

Ao Yi could not help but lower his voice and ask softly, "Brother Changshou, can you tell me everything? Is the South Ocean Sea God

Sect…"

Li Changshou immediately shook his head and pointed upwards. Then, he pointed at his mouth, followed by the ground.

Ao Yi did not seem to understand. In a daze, he suddenly understood something.

As I expected, Brother Changshou was merely coerced into this. The experts of the Ren School are the ones collecting incense offerings.

Li Changshou smiled again and sighed. "Those Divine Envoys caused some damage to the Immortal troops of the Dragon Palace. I'm really sorry."

Ao Yi was stunned. Then, he thought of something

It's not just the experts of the Ren School. There are also the plots of the witches!

A certain Sea God: We did not say anything.

Ao Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's just a small matter. I'll just give them instructions later."

Ao Yi raised his head and looked at Li Changshou, who was beside him. He felt emotional.

"Brother Changshou asked me just now. Do you know how tired the dragon race is? How much do you know?"

Li Changshou sighed.

"There are no external problems, but there are ancient disasters. It is hard to survive in a drunken state. Brother Yi, I roughly know what you have done, but it's very difficult to turn the situation around with just you alone."

Li Changshou paused and secretly observed Ao Yi's eyes.

Just now, he had used a series of trickery methods, such as "Deliberate Blank", "Hint", "Let your imagination run wild", and "Fall into the trap, step by step"…

However, the highest realm of tricking would be staying silent and making the other party make the request one wanted.

In that case, karma could be transferred.

In the end, Ao Yi might even be grateful to him and say, "Thank you for your advice, Brother Changshou."

[1] Human in Mandarin

Chapter 108 I'll Take the Merit, You Take the Blame

"Thank you for your advice, Brother Changshou!"

At the edge of the forest, Ao Yi, who had horns on his head and the figure of a young man, bowed deeply to Li Changshou.

He had violated his principles as a dragon and made such an outrageous request to Brother Changshou…

Although it was a matter of mutual benefit, it was indeed his inordinate desires that made things difficult for Brother Changshou.

Brother Changshou has too little experience in the Ren School, and he pursues a reputation of being quiet and passive. The matters of the South Ocean Sea God Sect can only be carried out secretly. I have to keep it a secret.

Although Brother Changshou did not say it directly, Ao Yi was not a stupid dragon. How could he not guess it?

Now, the Sea God Sect of the South Ocean has already begun to rise. There are Magihumans who disguised as Divine Envoys, and there are also meaningful doctrines that promoted enlightenment. They also had the experts from Ren School as their backers!

Ao Yi had seen the abundant incense merit with his own eyes. It was definitely real.

What did the dragon race lack the most now?

Merit!

In the distant ancient times, the dragons and phoenixes had gotten laden with endless negative karma because they destroyed the Primordial World.

The phoenixes immediately perished and suppressed the Immortal Volcanoes.

The dragon race's ability to reproduce was relatively strong. They used countless treasures to suppress the race's destiny and used the bodies of countless clansmen to fill the tumultuous Nine Polluted Springs of Heaven and Earth. Only then did they barely survive…

In ancient times, the dragon race had secretly formed good relations with the humans that had yet to become stronger. They had become the totems of some tribes. Thus, they had secretly accumulated some merit, which helped to ease the dragon race's predicament.

Therefore, the Dragon race had a deep understanding of how important merit was and how terrifying negative karma was.

Although it was difficult to say it, Ao Yi still did it.

"Brother Changshou, can I come to the South Ocean Sea God Sect to help? I can be a Guardian and earn some merit to protect myself too."

In fact, Ao Yi wanted to gain some merit for the dragon race himself.

What surprised Ao Yi was… the fact that Li Changshou quickly agreed.

However, he could tell that Li Changshou wasn't too willing to agree to his request.

Ao Yi also understood. After all, Li Changshou was not the real person in charge. He was just the assignee who had been pushed out.

Li Changshou must have thought highly of the relationship between the two of us. That's why he reluctantly agreed to let me come to Anshui City in half a month's time… to listen.

It just so happens that I will be returning to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to look for my father and have a good conversation with him.

The dragon hatches the plot, whether it succeeds will depend on the heavens!

Ao Yi's heart was filled with enthusiasm. He thanked Li Changshou and bowed again.

Li Changshou bowed repeatedly and pondered for a few moments. He tactfully expressed his worry…

Soon, Ao Yi swore an oath immediately and recited the Gratitude Incantation. He swore that he would never tell anyone else about the connection between Li Changshou and the Sea God Sect of the South Ocean.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

Ao Yi sighed in his heart.

Ao Yi was definitely going to befriend Li Changshou!

Li Changshou shook his head as he watched the little dragon leave quickly on a cloud.

In the future, I should treat him, the Second Sect Master better.

Since you have entered the South Ocean Sea God Sect, how can I just let you be a Guardian?

Li Changshou had already made the necessary arrangements. He directly appointed Ao Yi as the Second Sect Master of the South Ocean Sea God Sect and the Azure Dragon Guardian of the sect!

Later, he would settle the administrative matters and teach the Divine Envoys a lesson. He would add a statue of the Second Sect Master next to each of his statues and give 20% of the merit from incense offerings from the Sea God Sect to the dragon race!

If not for the fact that the Heavenly Dao had already recognized him as the Sea God of the South Ocean, he would not be able to change the sect master unless he destroyed his sect.

Li Changshou wanted to imitate the ancient human sages and give the position of Sect Master of the South Ocean Sea God Sect to some expert from his own sect.

The merit from incense offerings could not be given to the dragon race and allow them to take advantage for no reason.

After casting the Earth Escape, Li Changshou began to get busy. The most crucial step had already been taken. Next, he would have to see the reaction of the dragon race.

What is up with this incident?

I'm the original body of the Sea God who had come to destroy the Sea God Sect but my plans had been interrupted one after another. Due to the involvement of various factions, I fell into a crisis where I'm in danger of being exposed…

Li Changshou had thought about how the Immortal Du Sect and the Ren School would react if his identity as the Sea God of the South Ocean was exposed. He wondered if he could cozy up to the experts of the Ren School and resist the schemes of the experts from the Western Sect.

However, he continued to deduce, and the final outcome was death.

Not to mention the might of a Sage, the Seven Arrows Book and the Daoist rituals could kill a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

At the crucial moment, Li Changshou immediately changed his mind and tried to seek a way to survive. He turned the factors that were harmful to him into conditions that were beneficial to him!

He took the initiative to accept the Sea God of the South Ocean. He used his identity as a disciple of the Ren School and his understanding of Ao Yi to implicate the dragon race.

Then, used the Dragon race as a shield to withstand the pressure exerted by the Western Sect in the future and attract the attention of everyone.

Next, Li Changshou would be reorganizing the internal affairs of the Sea God Sect, mending the details of the teachings, perfecting the management structure of the Divine Envoys, and strengthening the self-monitoring within the sect…

At the same time, he wanted the dragon race to become the best tool for manifestation. He also wanted the dragon race to protect the devotees and prevent bloodshed between them.

That way, he would be able to reach the main goal of his trip to the South Sea-to avoid being laden with negative karma.

The reward that he had given to the dragon race was the 20% of merit from incense offerings that Ao Yi had taken away.

No matter what, Li Changshou would not lose out.

What the Dragon race lacked the most now were merit and luck.

Li Changshou had predicted that although Ao Yi would face some difficulties after returning to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he would still return on time.

Moreover, there was a high chance that Ao Yi would be stationed at the edge of the South Ocean.

He only needed to do three things before he could leave and let the Sea God Sect operate on its own.

He would use incapacitating agents to deal with the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village.

He had to think of a way to hide his face from the various statues.

He had to restrict the development of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean so that they could only pass the Dao within a certain area along the sea and not touch the Dao Sect's interests.

That was the first major part of Li Changshou's plan…

He could not say that he was being proactive. He had been forced to the edge of the cliff by those people. He could only take the risk and retaliate.

He had to prepare for the worst-case scenario and alter the most number of details possible!

Li Changshou's paper Daoist immediately rushed to Xiong Village and used the only thing he could do using the statue—appear in the dreams of others.

Coupled with the incapacitating agent, he continued to make his presence known in Xiong Village. He had turned most of those fools who were probably married to their relatives, into followers of the Sea God.

Would an expert amongst the witches pursue this matter?

How would they go about it?

A Divine Envoy of the Sea God Sect had improved the lives of those Magihumans and allowed them to obtain benefits.

Moreover, the Sea God Sect was established by those Magihumans in the first place. Li Changshou was originally a "victim".

Half a month passed quickly.

Li Changshou had a lot of fun at the border of the South Ocean. He had even secretly sent a batch of paper effigies over because he had expended too much immortal power.

He had put in all his effort to plan and eliminate any mistakes.

Hard work does not disappoint.

In half a month's time, more than half of the 1,700 statues had been covered up. The new statue's face was deliberately a little blurred.

In the beginning, the statue indeed needed a clear face. That was the only way to determine where the merit from the incense offerings would go to.

However, the Sea God Sect had developed to a major scale and no longer needed to reveal its true appearance.

Ao Yi did not disappoint Li Changshou.

Initially, Ao Yi brought back three hundred Immortal Flood Dragon troops and a few experts of the Heaven Immortal realm.

However, Li Changshou secretly ordered the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village to gather the devotees. He then announced that Ao Yi was the Second Sect Master and the Azure Dragon Guardian. Ao Yi was also a little stunned.

After that, Li Changshou gave Ao Yi an explanation and reason that he had already prepared beforehand.

The South Ocean was remote, and Li Changshou could not care much about it. The dragon race might have to put in more effort, so it was reasonable for him to give Ao Yi more merit.

Ao Yi could not refuse. He used the messenger talisman to call for help again.

The dragon race was also suspicious of that matter. However, the experts in their race took turns to deduce the whereabouts of the Sect Master of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean. However, the result that they all got… was that there was no such person. However, Ao Yi swore that he would communicate directly with the Sect Master of the Sea God Sect.

They reckoned that he must be some expert and also confirmed that the Sea God Sect had the background of Ren School…

Therefore, the East Ocean Dragon Palace sent six experts and a thousand Immortal Flood Dragon troops. They were stationed at the edge of the South Ocean and could be deployed at any time.

Since Ao Yi wanted to return to Golden Ao Island to cultivate, he could not stay in the mortal world for long. 118.

Ao Yi received permission from Li Changshou to arrange a few experts from the dragon race to be the True Dragon Guardians of the Sea God Sect. At the same time, they could earn a small amount of merit from incense offerings.

Those Guardians would usually patrol the area and protect the devotees of the Sea God Sect who were in the territory of the ocean.

Ao Yi, on the other hand, was full of energy. He continuously planned the next steps of the plan for preaching and spreading the doctrine of the Sea God Sect. He wanted to develop it in thirty years and spread it around the borders of the South Sea in three hundred years!

Li Changshou and Ao Yi had also talked about Xiong Village in detail. He told Ao Yi not to be too deeply involved with Xiong Village.

Ao Yi did not obey Li Changshou entirely, but he was also very grateful towards the latter and trusted him.

He no longer addressed him as Brother Changshou. Instead, he addressed him as 'Brother Sect Master'…

That made them seem closer to each other!

Li Changshou held back the right to complain at any time. He was glad that he was only addressed as 'Brother Sect Master' and not 'Royal Brother'.

Although he could escape from that place, how could Li Changshou not worry? Li Changshou continued to take action secretly. Three months later, most of the paper effigies used up their immortal powers and were destroyed by Li Changshou.

He had left two paper effigies at the edge of the South Ocean so that they could react according to the changes.

At this point, Li Changshou's basic plan was achieved.

He took the merit and pushed the blame to the dragons.

Furthermore, the dragon race had taken the initiative to join the Sea God Sect. They owed him karma and would have to repay him in the future.

Of course, Li Changshou would not do such a thing. He would just work together with them and reap mutual benefits.

The South Sea God Sect had also gotten on the right track. The sect's habits of flaunting their wealth were stopped. The Divine Envoys of Xiong Village had also been recognized by the Sea God.

As the True Dragons continued to appear and protect the sect, the number of devotees increased rapidly every day.

However, Li Changshou could not completely relax. He continued to plan carefully for a few months and deduced the possible problems that might occur. He was also prepared to react to the situations that might crop up…

Half a year later.

Li Changshou finally came out of the secret underground chamber. He decided to tell his master and junior sister that the problem had been resolved temporarily and that there was no need to be overly worried.

However, the moment he saw Ling'e, he gave her a shock.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong with you!?! Why do you look so haggard!?!".

In the straw hut, Ling'e hurriedly stopped her needlework and stood up to welcome him. She looked worriedly at Li Changshou's slightly faint face.

What's wrong?

I had been busy for half a year and deduced the possibilities for such a long time. I'm just mentally exhausted.

After all, these are related to existences like Saints and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals…

Li Changshou yawned and carried two paper effigies in his hands. He floated to his junior sister's bed and lay down.

"I'll sleep here for a while to recover my energy. I'll have to trouble you to protect me, Junior Sister. Later, I'll tell Master that I'm fine for now. I'll tell him not to worry…"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and rested. He still kept a portion of his mind active, and he was subconsciously keeping his guard up.

Ling'e blinked. Senior Brother…

He took the initiative to climb onto my bed…

Ling'e said softly, "It's fine as long as the matter is settled. Senior Brother, lie down."

She slowly walked forward and lifted her senior brother's legs that were hanging outside the bed.

Ling'e lowered her head and looked at Li Changshou's tired face. She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with pity…

However, she could not let go of such a rare opportunity!

Ling'e licked her lips, and a plan came to her mind. She tiptoed to the partition and looked for a thin chiffon dress to change into. Her fair skin was vaguely visible.

Of course, she did not dare to do anything to her senior brother.

However, she decided that while Li Changshou was asleep, she would hide beside him and secretly remind her master to come and take a look at that scene…

As long as he begged her master to make a decision, her marriage with her senior brother would be settled…

She had long thought of that plan, but Li Changshou had not revealed any loopholes.

Today…

Heaven bestowed a good opportunity. We're a match made in Heaven, and we're going to form a marriage blessed by Heaven!

I must muster the courage and take him down at once…

"Are there any disciples in the Little Qiong Peak who have yet to enter seclusion? I'm the disciple in charge of guarding the sect today. Someone outside the sect is looking for someone from Little Qiong Peak."

An exclamation came from outside. A figure had already entered the outer isolation array.

Li Changshou had already opened his eyes and was slowly sitting up on the bed.

Psht!

The partition was broken by a small fist that punched through it. "What's wrong?" Li Changshou yawned and asked. "N-nothing. I'm hitting mosquitoes!" Mosquitoes?

Li Changshou shivered and no longer felt sleepy.

Report chapter

Chapter 109 Senior Brother Smiles

According to the disciples who were in charge of patrol, there were Qi Refinement cultivators who came to visit and claimed that they were looking for someone from the Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou scanned the area with his immortal senses. Fang Hao saw two figures leaving on a cloud outside the mountain gate. They seemed to have entrusted something to the immortals guarding the gate.

Li Changshou waved his hand and asked Ling'e to go over, according to the fixed rule of the Primordial World where the seniors would order the juniors around.

Li Changshou searched the Little Qiong Peak carefully to see if there were any mosquitoes.

The presence of mosquitoes was not a trivial matter.

Perhaps it was because Li Changshou had been too tired recently, but now that he was focused, he felt a little anxious…

He stood beside the lake, amongst a group of Spirit-Eating Jade Frogs, and used his immortal senses to examine the various parts of the mountain.

He suddenly realized something and obtained the ability to sense his surroundings.

What did that mean?

In fact, it was just a technique for using his immortal senses. There were no cultivation techniques in the system. It required the Qi Refinement cultivators to comprehend and figure it out.

With that ability, he could break the barrier within 50 kilometers when he spots an ant from 500 kilometers away.

Thus, Ling'e flew over from the gate.

When Li Changshou's immortal senses were focused on her body in the past. He could only see her figure, face and expression. He could also barely tell the extent that her hair was fluttering.

It was different now. His immortal senses could even allow him to see the veins on her skin…

Actually, Lingle's skin was really not bad. Even if Li Changshou used his Spiritual Perception, he could not find any flaws. Her skin was as smooth as jade and could be broken with a snap of a finger.

With such perfect skin… it would be a pity if he did not use her for spirit herbs.

Li Changshou retracted his immortal senses and continued to search the various parts of Little Qiong Peak. With his ability to detect, it allowed probing to be faster and more convenient.

Where were the mosquitoes?

Previously, he had performed a few full-scale massacres on mosquitoes in Little Qiong Peak. There was not a single ordinary mosquito at all.

"Senior Brother! See what I brought back!"

Ling'e jumped down from the cloud and shouted as if she was seeking credit.

A jade talisman slowly rotated in Lingle's palm. It emitted a faint glow and looked rather ordinary.

"Have you checked it?"

Ling'e said, "I've checked. It's just a messenger jade talisman. There are no restrictions."

Li Changshou grabbed it and checked it a few more times.

Ling'e hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, this is for Master. We can't open it casually."

"For Master?"

"Yes. The immortal guarding the gate said that this jade token was left behind by two Qi Refinement cultivators. They said that they had something important to attend to, so they left first. The two of them asked if there was anyone else at Little Qiong Peak, and said that Master's old friend had asked them to bring this jade token here. They want us to pass it to Master…"

"I wouldn't have been interested if you didn't tell me about it." Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and weighed the jade token in his hand as if he wanted to see through the restrictions inside.

He did not dare to open it directly. After all, many jade tokens were made poorly. After the content was read, it would disappear automatically. However, if this is a trap, and there are some harmful methods hidden in there…

It was not easy for Master to become a Turbid Immortal. Even if he were to work in the Heavenly Courts in the future, he would barely be able to live for tens of thousands of years. He could not withstand such torture.

Ling'e whispered, "Senior Brother, does Master have any friends outside?" "As far as I know, no."

Li Changshou said, "Let's not talk about the people outside the sect. Those few acquaintances of Master's in the sect barely have any ties with him. After all, Master has been cultivating hard for the past thousand

years."

Ling'e sighed softly. "Master is so pitiful." Li Changshou said in a low voice, "This communication jade token is probably part of someone else's scheme… Ling'e, do you remember the rumor that you told me when I came back from the tomb?"

The two of them looked at each other and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Hence… the duo returned to Li Changshou's straw hut and activated several small-scale array formations. They gathered and fiddled with them.

A moment later.

"Hahahaha! Senior Brother, I've already said it!"

Ling'e collapsed on her senior brother's bed and laughed out loud. She laughed to the extent that the red hairpin tilted and her hair became messy.

It's a pity that Little Aunt-Master is not here. Otherwise, it would have been a spectacular sight to see her laugh to this extent.

Beside the short table, Li Changshou was speechless. He stared at the "family letter" written on the jade token, as well as the words that were about to disappear…

It was really an ordinary letter…

Furthermore, it was a letter from an important person, who signed off as "Wan Jiangyu".

If Li Changshou remembered correctly, his master had read that name out loud after getting drunk on several occasions when he was younger… It should be his Aunt-Master.

Li Changshou did not want to read the content of the letter, and he could only pen the words down before they disappeared.

Li Changshou wanted to use the communication jade token again, but he realized that the spiritual energy inside it had been used up.

He thought about it and took out a piece of cloth. He held a pen in his left hand and wrote down the contents. He then used his immortal power to dry the ink and created a fake letter.

He had also placed the jade token aside, and on it was the aura of "Wan Jiangyu".

"Senior Brother, what is written in the letter?"

Li Changshou said, "The writer wants to tell Master that she has been doing well all these years. She has been leading a good life. She said that she was wrong in the past. As Master's Senior Sister, she failed to protect him… Yunyun."

Ling'e frowned slightly. The corners of her mouth twitched as she whispered, "Senior Brother, I don't really like this Aunt-Master."

"Yes, she never returned for eight to nine hundred years and didn't contact Master at all. I don't really like her either."

Li Changshou's voice became mellower. It was rare for him to speak in a gentle tone.

"I always prepare myself for the worst, be it when it comes to humans or other matters. Only by doing so can I deal with the worst situation. However, for this matter, I hope for the best."

"Senior Brother, what is the best possibility?"

Ling'e folded her skirt and knelt beside her senior brother. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she listened carefully.

"The best possibility… would be that this Aunt-Master had gone out to search for treasures that could heal Master's injuries and restore his Dao foundation. However, her efforts were futile and hundreds of years had passed quickly. Her heart was filled with despair, but she did not dare to return. She was afraid that she would see Master giving up on himself, or a pile of bones and his grave.

Therefore, after eight to nine hundred years, she finally dared to send a letter of greeting…" After Li Changshou finished speaking, Lingle was already in a trance as her eyes glazed over.

Ling'e said gently, "Senior Brother if someone were to hurt me one day, would you also travel everywhere and put in all your effort for me…"

"Don't worry." Li Changshou nodded and said seriously, "As long as you're not beaten to death, I can think of a way to save you. Even if you die, you can go to the underworld to reincarnate as long as your body and soul are not destroyed, can't you? Besides, why would you get injured? Haven't you written enough copies of the Steadiness Sutra?"

"I!"

Ling'e snapped back to reality instantly. She rolled her eyes in anger and wanted to bite her senior brother!

However, Ling'e noticed that her senior brother was squinting slightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled.

Every time her senior brother showed such a subtle expression…

Ling'e immediately retreated and felt nervous.

Who is it this time? I'm going to be arranged by Senior Brother…

"Ling'e, don't you know a few disciples from other peaks?"

Li Changshou continued, "Let's spread the news about Master and Wan Jiangyu secretly. It's up to you to make arrangements. As long as you let others know that Little Qiong Peak's Wan Jiangyu has returned to find Little Qiong Peak's Qi Yuan, that'd be enough."

Ling'e thought about it and understood her senior brother's plan. She whispered, "Senior Brother, are you planning to…" "Don't say anything more." Li Changshou looked at his junior sister. "Just do these things to feel a little involved. I'll make arrangements later." "Oh." Ling'e pursed her lips and did not dare to speak. She was already thinking about how to spread the news…

She naturally knew what her senior brother wanted to do. He undoubtedly wanted to sever the karma accumulated by her master in the past and settle that grudge.

As Li Changshou had expected, Old Daoist Qi Yuan discovered that he had secretly read the letter when he handed it to him.

In the end, his master naturally raised his horsetail whisk and chased Li Changshou around the mountain for an hour…

Qi Yuan read the letter and sighed. He did not say anything and did not look happy either.

The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan looked even older. He continued to meditate in his room.

Ling'e could not help but worry. "Senior Brother, why does Master not seem happy at all?"

Li Changshou rubbed the back of his buttocks and pursed his lips. He could not help but send a voice transmission to his junior sister and dissed his master.

"Master, is a stubborn person. He's slow-witted. He's still immersed in the disappointment of Aunt-Master leaving him and losing the battle back then. He still can't get over it for the time being. If you don't believe me, go over to take a look in an hour's time. You'll definitely jump around in the house."

After saying that, Li Changshou shook his head and rode a cloud towards the Pill Chamber. Before he left, he muttered incessantly.

He had opened the communication jade token in advance for his master's safety!

An hour later…

Ling'e, who was leaning against the window, suddenly heard a series of clattering sounds. A burst of laughter came from her master's straw hut. The wooden door was slammed open by her master.

The old Daoist priest jumped out and raised his horsetail whisk while shouting, "Changshou! Ling'e! Your Aunt-Master has finally taken the initiative to send me a letter!"

Ling'e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. She then cooperated and shouted, "Master, is that true?"

"Ah! That's right! Ling'e, quickly come and take a look!"

"Yes, Master. I'll be right there."

Ling'e smiled and ran over to read the letter that Li Changshou had copied…

In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that.

The next thing to do was to wait for news.

Once Junior Sister releases the information regarding Wan Jiangyu, we'll see if we can find out where Master's enemy is.

It would be best if we can provoke the other party and lure him to the Little Qiong Peak to stir trouble…

However, Li Changshou did not focus all his attention on that matter. He had two important things to do every day.

One of them was cultivation and enlightenment.

Secondly, he had to spend two hours every day to observe the development of the Sea God Sect through the senses of the statue…

Occasionally, he would give the Divine Envoys a dream and give blessings to the kind people who worshiped him.

Since he had voluntarily chosen that path, he would try his best to be a qualified "illegitimate god" and then slowly find an opportunity to escape…

It was worth mentioning that the few dragon Guardians were very powerful and supportive.

Those True Dragon Guardians discovered some demonic aura in the periphery of the Sea God Sect some time ago.

Without hesitation or investigating the other party's background, they attacked him directly when they met. They even chased a Flying Great Demon that was of the for 15,000 kilometers and killed it in a large city in the mortal world.

The dragons of the Primordial World were quiet yet ruthless.

After that, some forces secretly got up to tricks, and a group of great demons arrived.

The Immortal Flood Dragon troops and experts of the dragon race that were hidden in the South Ocean were fighting together. However, they defeated those demons in a short while…

Li Changshou, who had "watched" the entire battle through the statue, felt very comfortable.

After a few conflicts, it was time for the Dragon Palace's announcement to all the forces in the southwest region of the South Continent—the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean was used by the dragon race to collect incense offerings.

The dragon race had a deep heritage and was now filled with anger. Even the Western Sect was a little afraid of them. Moreover, there were some things that could not be shown explicitly…

Therefore, the people who were plotting in secret only used the powerful demons that were being controlled to test them. They did not want to be embroiled with the Sea God Sect.

Li Changshou felt that it was a pity that he could not promote the "One-stop funeral service" in the Sea God Sect, which included a funeral, scattering of ashes, and expiation Otherwise… the scene would definitely be spectacular.

While paying attention to the Sea God Sect, Li Changshou had also secretly observed the sect for three months.

Many people in the sect knew about the gossip revolving around Little Qiong Peak, but they only smiled and said a few words.

The enemy did not reveal any traces of his presence. He was having a battle of wit and bravery with Li Changshou and the air.

However, it did not matter. Li Changshou could wait patiently… However, what surprised Li Changshou was that three months later, the second letter was delivered to his master.

Qi Yuan became even more excited after reading the letter.

The old Daoist priest called Li Changshou and Lan Ling'e to the front. He smiled so widely that his beard seemed to touch his eyebrows and he solemnly announced, "Changshou, Ling'e, I'm going out now. Take care of Little Qiong Peak!"

Li Changshou frowned. His master had already flown towards the gate. Why are you in such a hurry?

What if you're being schemed against?

Li Changshou hurriedly shouted, "Master! Wait…"

Li Changshou felt that the words 'a minute' were too unlucky. When he was about to say them, Li Changshou changed it to his usual voice and exclaimed, "Hold on!"

Chapter 110 Fellow Daoist, Have You Heard…

In the white clouds of the blue sky, in front of the straw hut by the lake.

The moment Qi Yuan, who had been stopped in his tracks by his eldest disciple, landed on the ground, Li Changshou and Lan Lingle immediately rushed forward and blocked their master's path.

This scene immediately reminded Qi Yuan of his encounter in the Pill Chamber.

The old Daoist priest subconsciously took half a step back and looked at both of his disciples solemnly…

"What are the two of you up to again?"

"Master, don't worry. Junior Sister and I will not drug you and make you pass out this time." Li Changshou smiled kindly and humbly.

Lan Ling'e said, "Master, this Aunt-Master has not given you any news for so many years. She suddenly sent you two letters in the past few months and even asked you to meet her. Isn't that too… sudden?"

Qi Yuan sighed and said, "Your Aunt-Master was just angry at me for being incompetent back then."

Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Master, men cannot call themselves incompetent."

Qi Yuan did not understand what was going on. Ling'e glanced at her senior brother and smiled meaningfully… with some shyness.

Li Changshou continued, "Master, our Aunt-Master is also from Little Qiong Peak. If she wants to see you, why won't she come back to the sect? Back when Aunt-Master left the sect, she did not become an immortal. She went out under the pretext of looking for the grandmaster who was out traveling. However, she did not return for nearly a thousand years. According to the sect rules, it should be considered treason."

"Master, if you go and look for this Aunt-Master, how are you going to explain to the sect? Master, if the elders in the sect ask about it, how can you answer them with a clear conscience?"

Qi Yuan frowned and pondered. He grabbed his horsetail whisk and paced back and forth on the grass patch beside the lake.

At the side, Ling'e secretly gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up. Li Changshou merely lowered his head and did not say anything.

Li Changshou knew that he would occasionally complicate issues and read too much into things.

However, it was better to consider more than not.

Moreover, there was indeed something fishy about the matter regarding his master.

Although he had just said that he would not drug his master and make him pass out, he would not be wrong to create a Bewitching Array Formation or something if he could not convince him verbally.

Just as Li Changshou was about to continue persuading his master, he heard his master

sigh.

Qi Yuan said, "That's true. When your Aunt-Master left, the sect had already removed her name from the list of disciples."

Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou. Although he found it difficult to speak, he still asked, "Changshou, what do you think we should

do?"

Li Changshou used the voice transmission technique and said,

"Master, why don't you write a letter and tell me where you are meeting her? I'll send this letter to you using paper effigies.

Master, you've seen it before. It's going to be just like how I went out to buy herbs.

No matter what, we can't just look at this matter from our own perspective. Master, you can convince Aunt-Master to go back to the sect and admit to your mistakes.

"Although the rules in our sect are strict, the punishments are not too severe. At most, you will have to be in seclusion for a thousand years.

Master, do you think that's true?"

Qi Yuan remained silent. He had already made up his mind.

Li Changshou then sent a voice transmission to Ling'e, telling her what to say. The two of them began to carry out their carefully premeditated conversation.

Not long after, Qi Yuan nodded and was convinced by the two of them.

5 спе

The old Daoist priest hurriedly returned to his room and wrote a letter using the communication jade token. He edited it repeatedly and deliberated over his words. After four hours, he handed the communication jade token to Li Changshou solemnly.

"Don't peek!"

"Don't worry, Master." Li Changshou smiled and said, "When you were writing the letter, I had already finished reading it."

"You!"

"I'm joking. I'm just joking. Master, don't be angry."

"Sooner or later, the two of you will be the death of me!"

Then, Qi Yuan told him the location of the meeting place.

In the mortal world of the South Continent, there was a mortal city called 'Lindong' on the Coast of the East Ocean.

The agreed time to meet was two months later. The two agreed to meet at the east side of the city, after the sun set…

Li Changshou advised his master to cultivate in the house during this period of time. He also strengthened the array formation around his master's straw hut to prevent external detection.

"Senior Brother, what do you want to do?"

Ling'e sneaked up to him and muttered under her breath. Li Changshou did not say anything else and simply told her not to wander around for the time being.

"I won't be going to the Pill Chamber for the next two months. I'll just cultivate in the straw hut." Li Changshou's gaze remained calm.

Ling'e tidied her hair and asked softly, "Then, should I send the paper effigy out of the mountain?"

"No need." Li Changshou looked at his junior sister and smiled. "You're quite familiar with the process. Just cultivate peacefully. When you transcend the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation and encounter such a thing again, I will let you participate more."

"Yes! Senior Brother, don't worry. I will work hard!"

Ling'e immediately agreed energetically.

When Li Changshou returned to his straw hut to cultivate, she snapped out of her senses and held her forehead while moaning.

If I want to be used as a Dharma treasure by Senior Brother, I will have to be an Immortal at the very least…

Little Aunt-Master, seriously!

She has warped Senior Brother's understanding of the size, and had also raised the threshold of his requirements for being a "human Dharma treasure"!

Just as she was complaining in her heart, Ling'e suddenly heard a shout from afar.

"Little Ling'e…"

Ling'e looked up and saw a black shadow pouncing at her.

She grabbed the two jade bottles subconsciously. However, she suddenly remembered that her senior brother was beside her. No one would be able to ambush Little Qiong Peak…

as

In a split second, Lingle looked up again.

There was no need to take a look at that person's face at all. Just by looking at her heinous sins, she could tell that it was her Little Aunt-Master, whom she was complaining about in her heart, who had arrived!

With a soft heave, Ling'e put away the jade bottle and was hit in the chest. Jiu Jiu picked her up and spun a few rounds on the spot. The two of them laughed and joked in front of the straw hut.

"Uncle-Master, you're making me feel so uncomfortable…"

"Hahahaha, feel my love for you! Little Ling'e!"

"Uncle-Master, I was wrong. Hahaha! Don't tickle me… I was wrong…"

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that.

However, deep down, he was also worried about Ling'e's cultivation.

She had been fooling around with Jiu Jiu every day, and her cultivation had inevitably been delayed. He had to remind her about that.

Not long after, Ling'e, who could not withstand her Little Aunt-Master's attack, could only pass the buck and call for Senior Brother to save her…

Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up. "Eh? Your senior brother is out of seclusion?

Call him over to play Fight the Great God! I haven't seen him in half a year!"

Li Changshou shook his head helplessly and walked out of the straw hut.

The meditation cushion wasn't warm yet.

Ling'e's straw hut soon became lively.

Li Changshou took out two jars of fine wine. Ling'e took out the snacks that she had made for her Aunt-Master previously. The three of them held onto the cards that Li Changshou had made and started battling.

"A pair of Perfected Immortals!"

"Hmph! A pair of Heaven Immortals!"

"We are Little Immortals in this match. Senior Brother is a Great God! Aunt-Master, why are you suppressing me!?!" "Uh… I was tempted, I was tempted."

"I think you should just admit defeat." Li Changshou shook his head calmly. "The two Golden Immortal cards are in my hands. Do you think you can make a comeback?"

Ling'e immediately snorted. "Nonsense. The little Golden Immortal Card was clearly with me… Oh no, I was tricked!"

Jiu Jiu hugged her feet and laughed out loud. She almost flipped while laughing. "How dare you mock me…"

At that moment, an old Daoist priest walked over leisurely. It was Qi Yuan.

"Master!"

"Senior Brother Qi Yuan!"

The three of them were about to stand up when "Qi Yuan" raised his hand to indicate that they did not need to stand up. "You guys can have fun. Changshou, Ling'e, accompany Junior Sister Jiu Jiu. I have to go out, I have something to do." Lan Ling'e blinked. Li Changshou stood up and bowed.

"Qi Yuan" waved his hand and smiled as he rode a cloud and flew towards the gate.

As if recalling something, Lan Ling'e winked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou smiled and told them to continue playing cards.

Jiu Jiu was immediately delighted. "Did you hear that? Your master told you to accompany me! Quick, serve me some good wine and dishes. Let me win when we play cards!"

Li Changshou and Ling'e chuckled as they continued playing with Jiu Jiu.

Li Changshou was multitasking at this moment, but it did not affect his consecutive victories.

The old Daoist Qi Yuan who came in just now was naturally a paper effigy whom Li Changshou disguised as Qi Yuan. He had also been given the green light by his master.

Due to the fact that he had controlled multiple paper effigies simultaneously previously, it was no longer a burden for him to multitask.

While the main body was playing cards with Little Aunt-Master, the paper effigy had already made it out of the sect easily. It rode a cloud towards the south…

After a while, Li Changshou took a look at the Sensing Stone that the paper effigy which was in the form of his master had brought with him. The sensing stone was shimmering.

A wisp of immortal senses continued to probe the paper effigy. Li Changshou maintained his composure and continued flying towards the south. The paper effigy's expression immediately turned complicated. There were some anxiety, amazement, and some timidness on his face which seemed to show that he was afraid to see him. It looked more like Qi Yuan than Qi Yuan himself…

The immortal senses chased for more than 200 kilometers before gradually weakening.

Although he did not know who was secretly investigating, he reckoned that based on that situation, the other party's cultivation level was probably at the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm.

It was a confirmation of his previous guess.

However, it was just a guess. Li Changshou would not make any judgment based on it. The information he knew was too little.

It was actually very difficult to simulate his master's Turbid Immortal Qi. The hardest part was the Turbid Qi.

Li Changshou had also thought of an "indecent idea". He grabbed his master's horsetail whisk, which was often used to punish disciples, and restrained most of the paper effigy's aura to make it seem like the real deal.

When Li Changshou was about to return, he helped his master replace the horsetail whisk with one that had softer "fur"…

After traveling more than 500 kilometers from Mount Li, he took the path to the Southern Continent.

The free, frolicking birds in the sky are laughing at my troubles.

The paper effigy, which had disguised himself as Qi Yuan, was flying in the sky. Li Changshou's immortal senses discovered a white cloud with a few Immortal Du Sect immortals on it, 250 kilometers to the east… However, they were Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, and the other two executives who had gone out to do their work and were returning to the sect.

e

Jiu Wu also noticed "Qi Yuan".

The short Daoist was worried. He said something to Jiu Shi, who was beside him. Then, he let the three of them return to the sect first. He took a turn on his cloud and chased after them.

However, Jiu Wu did not move forward. He followed "Qi Yuan" while keeping a distance of 150 kilometers between them and kept his immortal senses fixed on "Qi Yuan. He wanted to see what "Qi Yuan" was going to do.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Did Uncle-Master Jiu Wu take Master for a spy…

He was disguised as his master now. His master's immortal senses definitely could not detect Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and did not bother about Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, allowing him to follow.

As he chatted and played with Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, he controlled the paper Daoist and slowly flew towards the South Continent.

Jiu Wu, on the other hand, was very patient. He kept a distance of 150 kilometers and stroked his chin from time to time, thinking about something…

The tailing lasted for half a month…

Li Changshou even suspected that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu was related to his master's enemy.

However, after careful consideration, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had only met Qi Yuan by chance and had no interaction with him. The two of them had also met a few times and there was nothing unusual about it.

After walking and stopping, "Qi Yuan" arrived one and a half months ahead of time. He arrived at the place where he and his senior sister were supposed to meet. It was Lindong City, which was located in the northeast of the East Ocean.

The paper effigy transformed into a common old Daoist priest that roamed around. He held his horsetail whisk and frowned as he entered the city through the city gate.

Jiu Wu landed outside the city and scratched his head. It was obvious that he was curious about his junior brother's whereabouts.

Could it be related to the great calamity that happened in the sect previously?

He is also Junior Disciple-Nephew Changshou's master. I can't ignore him…

Just as that thought surfaced in Jiu Wu's mind, his immortal senses captured Junior Brother Qi Yuan, who had just entered the city, and saw that he was greeted by an old Daoist priest in a Daoist robe. He said something in a low voice.

"There is indeed a problem."

Jiu Wu immediately concealed his aura and secretly moved towards the city, wanting to investigate carefully.

The short Daoist naturally misunderstood.

When Li Changshou's paper effigy entered the city just now, the old Daoist priest clad in a Daoist robe and whose cultivation level was at the Soul Formation realm walked up to him. He did not meet him, nor did he mention anything about Wan Jiangyu.

The old Daoist priest's face was decent-looking and his aura was calm. He came forward and cupped his hands before bowing. Then, he said, "Fellow Daoist, have you heard of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean?"

Chapter 111 It's Impossible For The Qi Refinement cultivators To Appear In Brothels

Fellow Daoist, you're preaching about your sect to your own Sect Master.

At that moment, even though Li Changshou really wanted to say that, he merely smiled and said, "I respect the moral Ren School."

Then, he cupped his hands and carried his horsetail whisk while walking towards the street.

The old Daoist priest did not pester him further. He only bowed and apologized for disturbing him before returning to the seat in the corner of the street.

Li Changshou naturally knew the reason for that.

Previously, Ao Yi had discussed with him through the statue and he had also agreed.

The East Ocean Dragon Palace that was behind Ao Yi saw that the Sea God Sect had great merit and was developing rapidly. He wanted to promote it in the East Ocean of the South Continent.

Li Changshou agreed to that matter. He reiterated the old rules that the Sea God Sect could not leave the edge of the ocean.

After sensing for a while, he realized that the Dragon Palace was really quick to act. Over a hundred god statues had been built in the East Ocean.

What made Li Changshou feel slightly more at ease was that regardless of whether it was the newly-established god statue or the previous ones, his face was very blurry. He could barely see the facial features of his face, and he did not have the "Divine Quintessence".

However, the smaller-sized Azure Dragon Guardian statue standing beside his statue was clearly different.

It was especially so for the two god statues that had been erected in the villages at the beginning, on the East Ocean's side. Li Changshou's statue was made of high-quality stone. It was carefully carved by the craftsman of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Other than his face, the rest of the details were very precise.

Ao Yi's statue which was beside it was made of superior-class jade. It was carefully polished by over a hundred craftsmen. Its face was clear, and its facial features were well-defined. The details of its horns were extremely exquisite. There was even a treasure robe that was wrapped around the statue…

Li Changshou really wanted to persuade them regarding that matter.

Are you guys… not afraid that the statues would be stolen?

However, Li Changshou did not say anything when he thought about how happy the dragon race felt about seeing a silver lining after a long period of misery, as well as the foundation of the dragons of the Primordial World.

In any case, he was holding tight onto his seventy-percent-share of the merit from incense offerings, and Ao Yi's twenty-percent-share of merit would not increase because of that.

The remaining ten percent was given to the Guardians and Divine Envoys. Some of the merit was given to the disciples who had done good deeds.

There are more than a hundred statues in the East Ocean. Together with the Coast of The South Ocean, um… huh? Why is there a delay in the deduction…

Together with the 3,692 completed statues, as well as 463…

Cough!

Li Changshou, who was cultivating in the straw hut, almost cursed the paper effigy.

Why are there so many all of a sudden?!

When I checked three and a half months ago, I had barely counted 2,000! Why did the number double now!?!

Do I need that bit of merit from incense offerings?

Yes, I don't mind having too much of them. It's a good thing that I can condense the Golden Body of Merit earlier.

However, if this continued, would the Dragon Palaces of the Four Oceans be able to withstand all the pressure?

If this continues…

Perhaps, in another twenty thousand years, the Sea God Sect would complete the route along the sea and surround the land. As a result, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation would be brought forward. The Sect Master of the Three Sects suddenly appeared in front of him. The Grandmaster of Heaven held the Immortal Vanquishing Array Diagram while the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning held the Pangu Banner.

The Sect Master of Ren School said coldly "Fellow Daoist, shall we discuss the God

roll?"

Li Changshou was instantly engulfed by the shadow.

Previously, he had thought that he had temporarily resolved the hidden dangers in the South Ocean. However, he did not expect a new hidden danger to appear. The development was too fast!

Indeed, it was hard to sever karma. However, Li Changshou quickly regained his composure.

The current Sea God Sect was considered part of the merit from incense offerings that he had taken the initiative to make.

Li Changshou had actually thought about the future path for the Sea God Sect while he was fooling the dragon.

As long as the Sea God Sect could stabilize itself and the little dragons did not make the Dragon Palace of the West Ocean attack the Western Sect in a moment of recklessness, it would not be too much of a problem.

I don't think they will attack…

The dragon race should not be so short-sighted.

What is the Sea God Sect's way out?

It was very simple. They had to submit to the Heavenly Courts, to the Ren School, and move to the trichiliocosm.

As long as the dragon race helped him take the blame, Li Changshou would give them another chance in the future.

Recently, Li Changshou had actually thought of an emergency solution to escape. Through changing his name, Li Changshou managed to escape and allowed the dragon race to make a grand wish to protect the human race and enter the Sea God Sect.

The inspiration for that method was Li Changshou's future plans.

However, the Hundred Races competed for reproduction.

In the prehistoric times, the human race and the dragon race were also competing. If he gave the Sea God Sect to the dragon race, it would be equivalent to putting pressure on the human race.

Therefore, as long as the South Ocean Sea God Sect remained stable and did not cause him any trouble, Li Changshou would definitely not do that.

Now, the dragon race's merit from incense offerings was gathered on Ao Yi. The most important thing was to nurture a dragon expert…

Sigh…

It's the 204th day since I officially became the master of a sect…

I have to think, worry, and remain stable.

Half a month after leaving the sect, Jiu Jiu had already gone to the Little Qiong Peak to play for the second time.

At that moment, Jiu Jiu was already drunk. She occupied Ling'e's bed and continued to perform her skills after drinking.

In Lindong City of the South Continent East Ocean, Li Changshou shifted his attention to the paper effigy. He found an inn in the city that he could stay in and stayed there.

The ancient Southern Continent had been bustling for tens of thousands of years, and various inns had already appeared.

Due to the fact that the South Continent was too huge, there was a limited number of mortals. The customs of various places were completely different.

His immortal senses spread out carefully in the city. Li Changshou soon discovered Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, who was behaving suspiciously.

At that moment, Jiu Wu was trying his best to hide his aura, and he was indeed hiding well.

However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had clearly forgotten that he was in the mortal world. For someone like him… he could be considered an extraordinary person.

In particular, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu was dressed in an exquisite Daoist robe. His entire body exuded a dignified aura. Many mortals could not help but watch and gossip about him.

Fortunately, the human race of the Primordial World did not know the stories about the old officials and young ladies. Otherwise, they might have taken the initiative to offer some food and buns to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

Uncle-Master Jiu Wu also realized that he was quite eye-catching.

He imitated Qi Yuan and found a random restaurant. He threw out two pieces of jade and asked for a suite. At the same time, he used his immortal senses to pay attention to this junior brother who did not have a deep relationship with him.

Seeing this, Li Changshou thought for a while and smiled.

He stayed in the room for three days and two nights, until night fell again. Those shopkeepers and shop assistants who were worried that he would starve to death could not help but want to break through the door and enter. Li Changshou finally decided to go out.

Li Changshou was worried that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu would disrupt his plan to lure the enemy. He wanted to contact Jiu Wu, but he had to take the initiative…

Hence… he disguised as his master, took off his Daoist robe, changed into a brocade robe, and dressed up. Li Changshou wandered around the city for a while. He took advantage of the night sky and arrived at the most bustling street in the city.

The place was brightly lit, and there were all kinds of women everywhere. The sounds of them addressing men as "Master" were incessant. There were magnificent wooden buildings and small courtyards.

After taking ten steps, he could hear the intersecting sounds of music.

After traveling ten thousand feet, he still could not see the end of the street.

The prosperity of that place also showed that the mortals in Lindong City lived carefree lives. After all, only with rich material support could they pursue such… spiritual

life…

Li Changshou had disguised himself as Qi Yuan. At that moment, he entered the street and found a rather elegant brothel. He walked in slowly and seemed to be familiar with it.

If he wanted to take advantage of Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, he naturally had to take action on him.

He only needed half a bottle of transcendent-grade Soft Immortal Disperser and a Shadow-Retaining Ball to get the matter settled…

At the same time, Jiu Wu, who had been secretly following them all the way, was stunned when he saw "Qi Yuan" enter a small brothel!

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan looked anxious on the way here. Is this what he's worried about?! How could they allow the mortal world to be so chaotic and distasteful? This place is worse. If he were to have a physical relationship with the courtesans of the mortal world, he would definitely be tainted… Could it be that he gave up on himself after reaching the Turbid Immortal realm?".

Jiu Wu hid in the corner of the street. He rubbed his chin and felt conflicted. He was a married man. He could not enter that place.

However… Jiu Wu scanned the place with his immortal senses. There were no array formations in that place, and it was difficult to see everything.

"Their actions are quite interesting. I don't have any…

Hey! What nonsense am I saying!"

Jiu Wu shook his head and was about to turn around to leave. However, a thought flashed through his mind, and he muttered to himself, "I can't watch Junior Brother Qi Yuan go on the wrong path. It'd be good for me to scare him."

Jiu Wu took a step forward and quickly walked towards the place that "Qi Yuan" had previously entered.

It was only a few thousand feet away. To Jiu Wu, it was really awkward… He heard a young lady at the side saying, "Hey, which handsome young master is this? Why are you dressed like this? Are you out to play with your master?" Jiu Wu looked up and glared at the girl.

The latter's face instantly turned pale. The rouge on her face smudged and her breathing became irregular.

"Hmph!"

Jiu Wu swept his sleeves and continued to move forward. Soon, he arrived at his destination.

The short Daoist had a cold expression on his face. He stood in front of the brothel and did not plan to go in. He immediately wanted to release his aura…

He heard a voice transmission.

"Senior Brother Jiu Wu, calm down."

Jiu Wu was stunned. Then, he laughed awkwardly.

My hiding technique is really lousy. Junior Brother Qi Yuan actually discovered me so easily.

Li Changshou imitated his master's voice and continued to transmit his voice to Jiu Wu.

"Senior Brother, don't make any noise. Senior Brother, please sense the southwest direction carefully. Nine thousand feet away, that brothel… seems to give off a few unusual demonic auras."

Jiu Wu probed further and raised his eyebrows.

Then, Jiu Wu walked into the pavilion and casually threw a piece of inferior-quality treasure to the mortals there-gold nuggets. He followed "Qi Yuan"'s instructions and entered a private room on the second floor.

As soon as he entered, Jiu Wu scanned his surroundings carefully. Finally, he stared at "Qi Yuan", who was standing by the window.

Li Changshou continued to transmit his voice and read the rules of the Immortal Du Sect.

Only then did Jiu Wu become slightly cautious. He sighed and walked in with his hands behind his back. He casually cast an immortal power barrier and said softly, "Junior Brother, why are you here? You ran so far away, I'm afraid you didn't come here especially to eliminate the demons!"

"Qi Yuan" smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother, please allow me to report this matter to you later. I am indeed not doing anything despicable or lowly, though I have indeed discovered something amiss here."

"Alright, according to the rules of your Little Qiong Peak, make a vow first."

Jiu Wu lifted his chin. Li Changshou could not help but twitch his lips a few times. He raised his hand and took an oath, swearing that he really did not plot against Jiu Wu at this moment.

He was naturally doing it in the name of "I, Qi Yuan".

In the dark, Li Changshou kept the Shadow-Retaining Ball and the transcendent-grade Soft Immortal Disperser…

Previously, he wanted to grab hold of Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's weakness and use the Shadow-Retaining Ball to record some wonderful scenes.

However, Li Changshou discovered that there was something wrong with the demonic aura in the brothel not far away.

Under the demonic aura, there was merit.

There was a clear aura hidden in the filth.

Li Changshou's first reaction was to think that there were Merit Numinous treasures hidden here.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Changshou used his master's name to invite Jiu Wu into the room to discuss. He planned to secretly give Uncle-Master Jiu Wu some hints later.

He and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had worked together to obtain a treasure there. That was not bad…

After "Qi Yuan" swore an oath, the two of them finally sat down by the window and looked at the place where the demonic auras were.

Coincidentally, there was a commotion in the brother where the demonic auras were.

A few thin "workers" pushed a young man in ordinary clothes out of the brothel.

Soon after, a graceful figure slowly walked out of the brightly lit area.

The woman was dressed in a refreshing and graceful style. She held a jade-green cigarette stick in her hand. A wisp of fragrant mist was gently exhaled from her red lips. There was a colorful butterfly-shaped mark on her left temple, and her face was rather enchanting.

She took two steps forward and stood in front of the young man.

"Young Master Xia, do you know what's the saddest thing for a man? Having a very long life but a very short member, and entering a brothel with no money. Why, do you want to hire a prostitute for free? I'm not running a charity here."

After saying that, the woman snorted and took a puff out of her cigarette. She shifted her gaze over to the people beside her. She seemed to be looking at Li Changshou and Jiu Wu.

However, she did not react at all. She seemed to have ignored Li Changshou and Jiu Wu.

When she turned around and entered the brothel, the people who had been passing by could not help but follow her.

In the private room, Li Changshou and Jiu Wu looked at each other.

Li Changshou, who was pretending to be Qi Yuan, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He said softly, "Senior Brother, how is it?"

Uncle-Master Jiu Wu muttered to himself and replied, "What she said… does make sense." "Huh?"

He coughed and said, "Let's get down to business. Junior Brother Qi Yuan, let's work together to get rid of the demons here and protect the world. Wouldn't that be great?"

Report chapter

Chapter 112 The Influence of the Ash Scatterer

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, I have a question. Please forgive me for being foolish…"

A thousand feet below the ground of Lindong City, two figures were curled up into a ball and searching for light in the darkness.

The short Daoist priest, Jiu Wu, led the way and held a sword that was connected to its sheath in his hand.

"Qi Yuan", who was also Li Changshou's paper effigy, was following behind Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, slowly approaching the huge brothel that contained the demonic auras.

Jiu Wu turned his head and said, "Logically speaking, sneak attacks should be launched at night."

He continued, "It's broad daylight and bright, in the middle of the afternoon. Why don't we attack directly?"

"Senior Brother, you are wrong."

Li Changshou imitated his master's voice and replied, "There are very few guests in this place. The mortals are resting. We've seen how lively this place gets at night last night."

Jiu Wu nodded slowly and smiled. "I didn't expect you to know this place quite well, Junior Brother Qi Yuan."

"I heard Changshou mention it a few times."

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. In order to protect his master's reputation, he could only sacrifice himself.

Jiu Wu chuckled and said softly, "I believe you. Your eldest disciple's heart has turned black like the ashes of a furnace! Once terrible thoughts manifest, even the Essence Immortals will really not be able to take it. The Perfected Immortals will fall. When he transcends the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation later, he'd probably dare to even plot against the Heaven Immortals."

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

I'll stab you with my sword!

"Ahem." Li Changshou continued to use his master's voice during voice transmission. "I've heard Changshou mention it before. He admires you very much, Senior Brother. He feels that you have contributed greatly to the Immortal Du Sect's stability in both cultivation and internal affairs."

"Sigh, it's fine if I don't mention it. I get worried at the mention of this. I'm always busy. I have to run everywhere. There are some places and people who can't do without me…"

When he saw that Jiu Wu was about to start complaining, Li Changshou hurriedly interrupted him.

"Senior Brother, it's best if we investigate more later. After we deal with these demons, we can talk throughout the night."

"Yes, it's not the right time to chat." Jiu Wu smiled awkwardly and continued to move forward slowly.

As Jiu Wu did not have a deep understanding of the Earth Escape technique, he was unable to do it without making a sound.

While the two of them concealed their auras, Li Changshou secretly concealed their auras once again…

The scene made Li Changshou miss the experience of performing operations with Elder Wan Linyun.

They stealthily arrived on the ground of the brothel. The two of them began to investigate carefully and quickly found the source of the seven demonic auras.

"There were actually two Perfected Immortal realm demons." Jiu Wu frowned. "They have occupied this place for quite some time. Why did no one notice them?"

Li Changshou replied, "It's unlikely that ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators would come to such a place."

Jiu Wu chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan, why did you come here previously?"

"Qi Yuan" sighed softly and said, "I want to find a place to drink to relieve my boredom. I recently received two letters…

"Senior Brother, let's not talk about this for now. Let's eliminate the demons first."

Letter?

Jiu Wu looked curious but did not ask further.

However, Li Changshou secretly observed the change in Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's expression and knew that he had successfully planted a seed.

Soon, it would be reasonable for him to continue discussing that matter with his uncle-master.

"One step at a time, play by ear, hide your intentions."—the 'Theory of Tricks', written by Li Changshou, a disciple of Ren School, Sect Master of the Sea God Sect.

The two of them looked at the bottom of the demonic creature. Uncle-Master Jiu Wu took out a long sword and was about to secretly attack. He then attacked and killed the two Perfected Immortal realm demons.

One of the two Perfected Immortal realm demons was the alluring manager of the place that they had seen previously.

At that moment, the demoness was in a small wooden hut. She was looking at two pretty young girls who were practicing the zither and playing the flute…

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, help me out here."

Jiu Wu said that because he obviously did not want Qi Yuan to fight.

Li Changshou's paper effigy quickly took action and used his Turbid immortal power to stop Jiu Wu.

Could it be that the Immortal Du Sect's most commonly used "passive technique" is fighting head-on? "Senior Brother, since we already have the advantage of being in the dark, why don't we maximize it? I have a few poisonous pills for longevity, filial piety, and self-defense. Senior Brother, why don't you secretly activate them here, quietly kill the demonic creatures there, then take the treasures and leave…"

As he spoke, Li Changshou took out two bottles of incapacitating agents and poisonous pills that Elder Wan Linyun had given him and even specially explained how to use them.

In the dark and narrow rock layer underground, Jiu Wu looked at Qi Yuan suspiciously.

Jiu Wu smiled and said, "As expected…"

Li Changshou frowned secretly. He thought that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had seen through him.

However, Jiu Wu chuckled and said, "Disciple-Nephew Changshou is so smart. I didn't expect him to be trained by you, Junior Brother. True masters don't reveal their capabilities, Junior Brother Qi Yuan."

"Qi Yuan" sighed. "The world is hard, and my powers are weak. I have to be careful."

"Good."

Then, Jiu Wu secretly made a move. He carefully controlled the dosage of the incapacitating agents and released the pills one by one. Very soon, two to three hundred figures were thrown down from the front and back courtyard of the brothel.

Although most of them were already asleep,

Li Changshou even reminded him that if a mortal were to be contaminated with such a drug, they would either die or be injured.

"The women in this place are all people who have lived hard lives. Senior Brother, just bewitch those demons that consume the essence of mortals here."

"I can't tell that you're still so protective of women, Junior Brother Qi Yuan."

"I'm just afraid of negative karma."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother." Jiu Wu smiled and continued to activate the medicinal properties.

The manager of the brothel, who was holding a cigarette stick, could not help but raise his hand to support his forehead. He took two steps back and slowly leaned against the round chair.

The cigarette stick that was made of jade landed on the ground. She was completely intoxicated and her sleeping posture was a little disturbing.

Without Li Changshou's reminder, Jiu Wu started to search carefully…

Overall, Elder Jiu Wu was more cautious than Elder Wan Linyun.

It did not matter if they did not search carefully. However, after carefully searching, both of them had eyeopeners.

Last night, when the lights were dim, there were many beautiful figures.

However, their makeup had faded in the day, and they looked much older.

Those mortal women were considered good-looking. Without their rouge, face powder, and dim lighting from the candlelight, their faces looked slightly different.

The five Courtesan Belles were demons whose cultivation levels were in the Essence Immortal realm. They were currently in a daze, revealing their true forms. There were three flying beasts and two white foxes…

The real custom-made Primordial version of Phantom Tank.

Jiu Wu shook his head and sighed. "How can those mortals like this?"

"They've just been blinded by their appearance," Li Changshou said. However, he was monitoring the movements from hundreds of kilometers away.

Jiu Wu decisively attacked and used the Heaven Immortal Poison to quietly kill the five "Little Demon Immortals".

In this place, they were shielded by the brothel. They usually relied on absorbing the Yang of mortals to cultivate. Their demonic powers were impure. At that moment, they were completely unable to resist the toxicity of the poisonous pills. Their souls dissipated instantly.

The method they used to cultivate was actually rather brilliant.

They received many guests, and they usually took action on more than one mortal. They would not take the lives of the mortals.

An example would be the 'Young Master Xia' who had been chased out yesterday. He had almost lost both his Yang and his family fortune, but he had not lost his life. It was just that he did not have much life span left.

"I killed a few little demons and I actually still gained merit," Jiu Wu muttered softly and continued to attack.

This time, he was going to deal with the two Perfected Immortal demons.

One of the centipede demons kicked its legs on the spot.

However, the brothel manager, who had yet to reveal her true form, had a faint golden glow around her…

The light condensed into the appearance of a snow-white fox. There were six tails on its back that were resisting the invisible poisons around it.

Jiu Wu frowned and was about to add more poison when Li Changshou suddenly said, "Senior Brother, take back the poison.

This demon cannot be dealt with so easily!"

"Oh?"

Although Jiu Wu was confused, he stopped in time.

He also sensed that the light-gold glow was not simple. It was emitting a small amount of power of merit.

The merit and purity that the two of them had sensed previously did not seem to be from treasures, but the merit that the brothel manager had.

Or perhaps, the treasure was with the brothel manager…

The short Daoist priest was very careful. He first retrieved the surrounding poison and used his immortal power to bind it. Then, he carefully put the porcelain bottle into an abandoned storage Dharma artifact. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Jiu Wu frowned and said, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan, what do you think is going on? Could it be that the demons have opened up another brothel and are doing good deeds again? They actually accumulated so much merit!"

Li Changshou asked, "Senior Brother, do you have any Dharma treasures that can be used to store living humans?"

"I didn't prepare any…"

"It's fine. I did."

"You did… eh?"

Jiu Wu looked at Qi Yuan and said with a bitter smile, "Junior Brother, why did you come out? You have Dharma treasures meant for storing humans, and poisonous pills…"

Li Changshou sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I'm just a Turbid Immortal. There's no hope of fighting them head-on."

"I understand, I understand."

Jiu Wu looked ashamed, but he felt that he should not have said those things. He had struck a sour chord in Qi Yuan.

Li Changshou took out the spiritual beast hide pouch from his master and instructed, "Give this demon more incapacitating agents. We'll think of a way to deal with it later.

"Senior Brother, take the demons and leave this place temporarily. Go to the edge of the East Ocean. I'll make some arrangements here to prevent others from seeing through me."

"Good."

Jiu Wu quickly crawled out of the ground and stored the flirtatious and sultry lady boss in the spiritual beast hide pouch. Then, he soared into the sky and flew towards the East Ocean.

The moment Jiu Wu left, the brothel was enveloped by an isolation array formation. A few figures emerged from the ground. They were naturally formed by the original paper effigies.

Li Changshou had purposely asked Jiu Wu to leave because he did not want to expose all of that.

He searched the place carefully and transported the corpses of the demons to a remote backyard.

The paper effigies moved quickly and efficiently.

He chanted the sutras, rang the bell, activated the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, and restrained his remnant soul.

Then, the trumpet rang, and the demons began wailing. The yellow paper and lonely ghosts… Not long after, there were only some ashes left.

Most of the ashes he scattered previously were in the deep mountains and dense forests. That was the first time that he had seen such a beautiful and elegant brothel with a rich cultural vibe.

Li Changshou was disguised as his master's face and he shook his sleeves. The pile of ashes in front of him scattered and turned into a pile of soil.

The touch was indeed different.

"Since you have come to the humans' world to do evil, it is your fate to have encountered this calamity."

With that, Li Changshou put away the paper effigies and the array formations in the area. He left some medicinal powder in the air to make the mortals sober up.

His immortal senses captured that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had already brought the beautiful demoness to hundreds of kilometers away.

For the sake of the harmony of the Jiu Immortals, Li Changshou chased after them…

In the straw hut of Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou's main body heard a sound coming from outside the straw hut. He opened his eyes and saw his aunt-master and junior sister playing on a boat on the lake.

Previously, he did not think that it was too obvious. He had just walked around in the brothel in the mortal world twice. Now, looking at it again…

Not only is Uncle-Master well-endowed, but her figure also is wonderful. Her waist is slender, and her face is beautiful.

Junior Sister is even more elegant and charming. She has a gorgeous appearance, a slim figure that is really exquisite, and a face that is beautiful and extraordinary… At that moment, Li Changshou was filled with emotions.

Whether he cultivated or not, the impact was too great.

His attention quickly returned to the paper effigy. He frowned when he saw the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and the Earth Escape.

The Perfected Immortal realm demonic centipede that he killed just now had something to do with his arrival in Lindong City!

This time, he was correct.

Chapter 113 Specializing in all Bewitching Mystical Abilities

How… do I go about it?

On the way to meet up with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Li Changshou allowed the paper effigy to maintain his master's Earth Escape speed. He was a little conflicted.

He had used the paper effigy to help his master go to that place because he wanted to catch the other party's weakness that would reveal her true colors.

However, his True Samadhi Flames had burned the "weakness" to the point that there were only some scraps left. He had even scattered them just now…

Although there were still some remnant souls of the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, they would quickly dissipate…

Li Changshou had analyzed and deduced the possibility. The two letters could be part of a scam. The only enemy that his master had, wanted to deceive his master to that place and then secretly kill him.

However, Li Changshou did not expect that his master's enemy would secretly hire a demon in the Perfected Immortal realm to commit murder.

A masked man in a Dharma treasure cloak appeared in front of the centipede demon's remnant soul…

Considering that the other party would definitely use an illusory trick when doing such a thing, that tiny bit of information was meaningless.

This centipede was considered unlucky.

He had traveled hundreds of kilometers from the North Continent to that place and rushed to the "home" of the demons, which he was familiar with. The centipede demons had chosen Lindong City

The centipede demons thought that it was a deal that was definitely profitable. They had been hiding in the dark for months and were waiting to meet their target during a "late-night rendezvous". They would then kick the Turbid Immortals to death with their legs…

However, he did not expect that the centipede demon would be gone for more than a month before the agreed date. Li Changshou put away the Soul-Bewitching Pearl and sighed softly in his heart. He did not dwell on that matter.

Perhaps, that was fate.

Li Changshou intentionally revealed a wisp of his aura. Jiu Wu quickly captured Qi Yuan, who had rushed over underground.

The short Daoist coughed and put his hands behind his back, indicating that he had not gone overboard.

The lady boss, who had a graceful posture, was now tied up with an immortal rope and thrown under the tree. "Senior Brother, have you not asked?"

"Qi Yuan" slowly crawled out of the grass. Jiu Wu frowned and shook his head.

Jiu Wu said, "Junior Brother, I did some calculations just now. However, my deduction method is not good. I can only find out that the origin of merit on this demon is not insignificant."

Li Changshou deliberately sighed and said, "I thought that there would be some merit treasures this time…"

"Junior Brother, you can't think that way," Jiu Wu said seriously. "We are both human Qi Refinement cultivators. It is our duty to protect the human race since we entered the Ren School to cultivate."

He continued, "If we let this bunch of demons cause trouble in that brothel, who knows how many mortals would have their families ruined? How many mortal men would have their Yang sucked away by the demons, and end up having their lifespans shortened?"

Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He thought, Uncle-Master's awareness is quite good.

"This demon is also evil," said Jiu Wu. "Although he has merit protecting her, we can't ignore her. When she wakes up, we'll interrogate her and take action…"

Jiu Wu swiped his hand across his neck. Qi Yuan gave him a thumbs-up and smiled. The word 'good' was actually an expression of 'yes' and 'sure'. It was mostly used by older Qi Refinement cultivators.

Try imagining a white-haired, youthful-looking old immortal arriving on a cloud and saying a few words to his disciple before nodding with a smile.

"Okay!" "Yes!" "Sure!" "Alright!" "Just do

it!"

Wouldn't that seem too out-of-character?

If that old immortal flung his horsetail whisk and calmly said the word 'good', it would make it difficult for others to understand him. At the same time, his temperament would be even more mysterious.

However, Li Changshou did not like to say the word 'good'. When he picked the Dao Fruit of Longevity and lived a long life, he would probably say something like 'steady' when he talked to his juniors when he was old.

"Steady."

He will then talk about serious matters.

Jiu Wu and Li Changshou who had disguised himself as Qi Yuan, brought the manager of the brothel who might actually be a six-tailed fox and who had never woken up, to hide at the edge of the East Ocean.

They were also worried that experts from the demon race would come to seek revenge, so they kept changing their hiding places. Killing living beings with merit would naturally attract negative karma.

However, that demoness had done evil in the secular world. If they did not kill her, it would contradict the principles of the Immortal Du Sect.

Jiu Wu and "Qi Yuan" were also discussing. If they could not do it, they would bring the female vixen back to the Immortal Du Sect to be imprisoned. They would kill her after her power of merit dissipated.

Before that, they had to interrogate her and find out what kind of good deeds she had done…

Half a month later…

"Senior Brother Jiu Wu, how much incapacitating agent have you drugged her with?"

"Not much. An entire pill bestowed by Elder Wan…"

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

The manager of the brothel was only at the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm. Naturally, she could not withstand such strong medicinal effects.

The matter in Lindong City had been resolved in advance. Li Changshou did not want to wait there any longer, so he secretly used some "antidote".

Three days later, the charming demoness finally woke up.

She woke up at dusk on the edge of a deserted island, bound by the immortal rope. Her demonic powers could not be used… Li Changshou immediately sensed that the demoness had woken up and wanted to remind Jiu Wu. However, he could not say anything as he was using his master's identity.

The female manager was not simple either. When she woke up, she did not do anything unusual. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep while secretly using her immortal senses to observe the two Daoists.

An hour later, the rainbow butterfly mark on her forehead flashed gently. A wisp of dark fragrance silently spread on her body and diffused.

Soon, she made a sound and her long eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes…

Jiu Wu and "Qi Yuan", who were meditating in the ocean, opened their eyes simultaneously.

"Hmph, you're finally awake!"

Jiu Wu immediately stood up and swept his sleeves. He held the immortal-grade sword while it was in its sheath and turned around to interrogate the demoness.

However… just as Jiu Wu turned around, he saw a dim light under the tree. The demoness trapped by the immortal rope was actually that… graceful, sultry and charming.

Her face looked somewhat similar to his beloved senior sister. Her figure was actually so charming…

Jiu Wu put down the sword in his hand and stopped in his tracks. He stared straight ahead and his breathing began to quicken.

"Qi Yuan", who was standing at the side, reacted in the same way. Moreover, his breathing rate was even higher than Jiu Wu's.

However, Li Changshou had deliberately made the paper effigy behave that way.

What a powerful charming ability!

The paper effigy pretending to be his master was just a paper effigy that had a portion of the power of his Essence Soul.

After the demoness secretly used her mystical ability, Li Changshou could sense that his mental state had changed slightly…

He silently chanted the Heart-Calming Incantation, and his heart suddenly felt empty.

That was the first time Li Changshou had encountered such a mystical ability. He was also using the paper effigy to observe carefully.

That mystical ability was called an Enchantment Spell. When the ancient demons flourished, some demons would specially cultivate that technique. They would use it to trap the experts of the demon race and find a backing for themselves.

At that moment, the demoness was not just casting a simple Enchantment Spell. She was also displaying her charm. Her posture, expression, gaze, and even the degree of her lips opening and closing were clearly complementing her charm.

Very quickly, Li Changshou realized that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu could not take it anymore…

The short Daoist took a small step forward…

If Uncle-Master Jiu Wu got controlled by the other party's Enchantment Spell, things would get a little troublesome.

Hence…

Crack!

A portrait suddenly slipped from "Qi Yuan's" sleeve and hit the beach. Then, it opened a little.

"Qi Yuan" lowered his head and looked confused.

He muttered, "Isn't this… the painting Changshou gave me… Senior Brother, Senior Brother Jiu Wu?"

"Huh?" Jiu Wu's eyes were fixed on him. Without looking back, he replied casually, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"

"Qi Yuan" picked up the portrait on the ground, walked to Jiu Wu's side, and slowly opened it.

It was as if he had accidentally bumped into Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's shoulder with his elbow.

Jiu Wu lowered his head subconsciously and saw the painting that was being unveiled slowly…

At that moment, the world in Jiu Wu's eyes was pink.

The painting was half a foot open and he could see the edges of a dress. Jiu Wu was curious as well. He wanted to look up at the beauty under the tree but he also wanted to see who the person in the painting was.

Soon after, the painting was revealed by another inch and the face of the person in the painting could be seen.

Her face was full of wrinkles, her dress was loose and baggy, her fingers were slightly bent like an orchid, and her fingertips were yellowish…

In an instant, Jiu Wu seemed to have heard a "ding" sound. The decadent voice beside his ear instantly dissipated.

The short Daoist took three steps back and held his breath. His eyes regained their clarity. He was full of energy and could not help but shiver.

The demoness under the tree frowned but continued to exert her force.

However… it seemed that her mystical ability was completely ineffective.

Jiu Wu's back was covered in cold sweat. He whispered, "What… What happened just

now?"

"Qi Yuan", who was at the side, continued to slowly open the painting. "Senior Brother, look. The technique used in this painting is quite amazing."

"I…"

Jiu Wu lowered his head and looked at the painting that had already been half-revealed. The "beauties" on it had all kinds of postures, and there were no longer any ripples in his heart.

Jiu Wu frowned. "Junior Brother, what is this?"

"Ah, this is a gift from Changshou." "Qi Yuan" smiled bitterly. "I don't know why it dropped out just now.

Changshou is teasing me. He said that I'm old, so he gave me this strange painting of beauties."

"Fortunately, we have this!"

Jiu Wu squinted and looked at the demoness under the tree.

With a clang, Jiu Wu pulled out his immortal sword. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "How dare you use your Enchantment Spell to deceive us! You are courting death!"

Under the tree, the manager of the brothel frowned. However, she smiled delicately and revealed a pitiful look. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like an orchid that was blooming in the wind…

The old Daoist priest by the side carried the painting and leaned over.

"Senior Brother, look at this person. Changshou drew quite well."

Jiu Wu lowered his head and took a glance. It was as if the old woman in the painting had come to life and winked at him gently.

The short Daoist priest shuddered again.

He then looked at the demoness under the tree. Just now, he had thought that she resembled an orchid blooming alone in the wind but now, he instantly felt that… there was nothing but Setaria everywhere!

Jiu Wu raised his hand and threw his sword at the manager of the brothel. The sharp sword brushed past her ear and pierced into the tree.

This time, the manager of the brothel was completely shocked.

She stared at the painting in the old Daoist priest's hand. Naturally, she could not see the contents of the painting.

However, she was certain that it was that very painting that made the two of them instantly escape the effects of the Enchantment Spell that she had cast with all her strength!

What Dharma treasure is that?

Jiu Wu immediately threw out dozens of Dao talismans. Without any effort, he completely suppressed the demonic power and spirit of the demoness who was originally bound by the immortal rope.

Jiu Wu looked at "Qi Yuan" and asked, "Junior Brother Qi Yuan, what is this thing?"

"It's just a painting," Qi Yuan replied and slowly stowed away the painting.

The "Aged Beauties" painting was a necessary item for Qi Refinement cultivators who wanted to cultivate their Dao,calm their hearts and resist Enchantment Spells!

"Let me take a few more glances." "Well… Alright. This item is good but please don't look at it too much, Senior Brother. After all, you have a Dao companion."

Jiu Wu smiled and said calmly,

"Don't worry. It won't be a problem.

Disciple-Nephew Changshou's painting skills are really not bad. Time will take its toll on all beauties and they will eventually turn into nothing but skeletons and ashes. It's better to live a carefree life."

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Isn't this effect a little too good?

Later on, I shall give Uncle-Master some Poisonous Dragon Wine. After all, if he were to become a sexually impotent Daoist, I would end up forming karma with Aunt-Master Jiu Shi.

Half a day later, Jiu Wu and Li Changshou's paper effigy rode a cloud towards the East Continent.

The two of them did not directly kill the demoness. They had already inquired about her origins. After her Enchantment Spell became ineffective, she did not put up much resistance and instead straightforwardly told them about her origins.

Simply put, the vixen was fearless. She was certain that the two of them would not kill her who had merit to protect her.

Just like how there were both good and evil humans, there were good and evil demons as well.

This Six-Tailed Vixen had been cultivating for more than six thousand years. She had only been a manager of a brothel, earned some money and kept the little demons under control. She had never directly absorbed mortal Yang energy.

However, she did not do any kind deeds.

The merit she had was passed down from her ancestors. Her ancestors had secretly saved many humans during the Great Magi-Demon War back then. After the human race prospered, they gave her a small amount of merit.

It was not easy for the two of them to deal with demons who had merit on their bodies and had ancestors who had contributed to the human race. Therefore, they brought the demoness back to the sect to be punished.

"Junior Brother," Jiu Wu said, "Can you lend me your Aged Beauties painting? I'm afraid that the elders in the sect will be charmed by her. Although it won't be a big deal, it'll still make them look bad."

Li Changshou hesitated for a moment before handing the painting over. It was originally an ordinary painting. It was just that the concept was a little ingenious. It was not a big deal.

Besides, he… had many other items that were similar.

Report chapter

Chapter 114 The Culprit Who Bullied The Teacher

"Senior Brother, the sect is watching. This demon can't do anything. You and I shall bid farewell here."

150 kilometers outside the Immortal Du Sect Mountain, "Old Daoist Qi Yuan", who was disguised as Li Changshou and riding on the same cloud, suddenly bid Jiu Wu farewell.

"Junior Brother Qi Yuan, why don't we go to the Punishment Hall together?"

Jiu Wu was slightly stunned. He continued, "Junior Brother, you deserve half of the credit for eliminating the demons this time. We should go and receive rewards together."

"Qi Yuan" smiled and said, "Please pass my reward and this spiritual beast hide bag, to both my disciples. To be honest, Senior Brother, I still have matters to attend to and have to rush back to Lindong City. After all this delay, it's almost time for my date."

Date?

Jiu Wu frowned and nodded. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Qi Yuan" bowed and turned around in a bid to leave on a cloud.

However, as soon as "Qi Yuan" flew less than five feet away, Jiu Wu shouted, "Junior Brother, please wait! Can you tell me who you're meeting?"

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief…

Once Uncle-Master falls into the trap, everything will be easy to handle.

"Well…" Li Changshou deliberately put on an awkward expression. Then, he sighed softly. "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, Senior Brother. A few months ago, my Senior Sister sent me two letters to ask me to meet her in Lindong City."

Jiu Wu was obviously stunned. He pinched his fingers and made some calculations, after which he confirmed those memories that were somewhat considered deeply-etched in his mind.

For a moment, Jiu Wu's expression was extremely strange.

What Jiu Wu said next surprised Li Changshou.

"That's impossible. Junior Brother Qi Yuan, someone must have schemed against you!"

"Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

A hint of anxiety appeared on the paper effigy's face. He hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, please explain yourself!"

"This…" Jiu Wu muttered to himself and did not reply. He simply said, "In any case, this is unlikely."

"Senior Brother Jiu Wu!"

"Qi Yuan" immediately stepped forward and bowed to Jiu Wu.

Jiu Wu could not hold back his urges. He sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "Your senior sister died eight hundred years ago. Her remnant soul had reincarnated. I saw it with my own eyes."

"That year, you fought with Junior Brother Kuai Si from the Immortal Downpour Peak. Junior Brother Kuai Si ambushed you secretly. You injured your Dao base. Although you survived, you could not continue cultivating."

"Your senior sister, Wan Jiangyu, secretly left the sect. She said that she wanted to find your master, who was traveling around the world, and get him to meet you… However, in reality, she had gone to the North Continent to search for a precious type of medicine to repair your Dao base." "When the elders in the sect discovered it, they immediately sent me and two other executives to chase after her. However, when we caught up, she was already in the depths of the North Continent. Her Essence Soul was injured by a ferocious beast and she was on the verge of death. The three of us tried our best to save her, an immortal seedling, but to no avail."

"When your senior sister passed away, she asked the three of us to tell you that we haven't found her and to hide the truth from you. Her corpse was buried by the three of us. If you don't believe me, I can let the two of them tell you…"

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother Qi Yuan? Are you… alright?"

"Qi Yuan's" body trembled, and his eyes lost their focus. He took a few steps back, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Li Changshou had never thought about how he had to put up an act and pretend to be pitiful. At that moment, he could only rely on his imagination to stage the act.

Fortunately, Jiu Wu closed his eyes and sighed softly. He did not have the heart to look further.

Jiu Wu did not want to reveal that matter, but he was worried that "Junior Brother Qi Yuan" would fall into some kind of trap.

"Where… where is she buried?"

"The place where the poisonous fog was spreading had long been destroyed. Junior Brother, don't be so obsessed. She has already reincarnated."

Jiu Wu wanted to comfort him, but "Qi Yuan" had already cupped his hands and bowed. He remained silent and flew towards the mountain gate.

"Senior Brother, I want some peace." "Junior Brother Qi Yuan…"

Jiu Wu knew that "Qi Yuan" was distressed and hence, did not try to persuade him. Instead, he carried the spiritual beast hide pouch and followed closely behind him.

The short Daoist was also filled with emotions. He shook his head and mumbled, "I can't get over the relationship. It's too difficult for me to feel at ease. Ask the world what romance is. It… makes it impossible for you to sleep at night."

Thinking about his Dao companion, Jiu Wu smiled gently.

All of a sudden, charming old women appeared in front of his Dao companion…

Ding

Jiu Wu shuddered.

All beauties will turn into corpses, and cultivation is the proper thing to do!

At the same time, in the straw hut on Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou opened his eyes with a complicated expression.

There's actually such a secret behind this matter…

However, it was a pity that he was a paper effigy who had disguised himself as his master. Logically speaking, he should not ask too many questions. Otherwise, he would have to ask them properly before carefully investigating the details.

This time, he had gained a lot by finding out from Uncle-Master Jiu Wu who his master's enemy was.

Kuai Si from the Immortal Downpour Peak.

He was a Perfected Immortal who was not famous in the sect. Li Changshou had only seen his name on the name list in the Hundred Mortal Hall by chance.

As a Perfected Immortal in the sect, that person's reputation and recognizability were far inferior to that of Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. He was a unique existence who was individualistic.

This person… fought secretly with evil intentions, assaulted my master, and caused my master to end up with no choice but to become a Turbid Immortal.

He even forced my Aunt-Master to take the initiative to go out to the North Continent for a few Immortal-Emancipating Herbs. From then on, she created lots of karmas.

Now, I found out that you have indirectly caused the death of my Uncle-Master and his beloved Senior Sister.

"Fellow Daoist."

Li Changshou's gaze became a little sharp, but he quickly hid it.

He mumbled… "Isn't our karma a little too big?" Li Changshou stood up and paced back and forth in the straw hut.

I can't rush. Killing or crippling an enemy in the Perfected Immortal realm is not considered difficult for me.

However, the matter concerns my future in the Immortal Du Sect as well as Ling'e's and Master's. I must be sure.

His priority now was to decide if he should tell his master about the matter.

Thinking about it carefully, Master is also… a pitiful male immortal.

His Dao base, which is the foundation for Immortal Ascension, had been destroyed, his Senior Sister never returned again after she went out, and so did his master. He turned into a Turbid Immortal and had been schemed against. He does not even have a good friend or close confidante in the Immortal Sect. He even gets teased by his disciples every day…

Ahem, the last one doesn't count.

Not long after, Li Changshou had a plan in mind.

He took out a communication jade token that was of inferior quality and tried to imitate the handwriting of the first two letters. He wrote two sentences:

"I can rest assured now that I know you're safe and sound."

"Don't think about me anymore. From now on, we'll go separate ways." Later, he would explain to his master that he had stayed in Lindong City for a few days and found the jade token by his pillow. He would tell him that he did not find the person whom he had arranged to meet, and that afterward, he met Uncle-Master Jiu Wu whom he worked together with to eliminate the demons…

If I tell Master the truth, he will definitely be utterly dejected. The Dao bases of Turbid Immortals are unstable, to begin with.

I'll use this method to make Master think that Aunt-Master is still around and is merely unwilling to meet him. Then, Master's mental state should be like — "The snowflakes flutter, the north wind blows. It's nothing but bleakness (1. This is a recent meme song by Taiwanese singer, Fei Yu-ching's Xue Hua Piao Piao)…"

Although it would be melancholic, it would still be vibrant.

I'll think of a way to find the reincarnate of Aunt-Master in the future.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He stared at the word 'stable' that he had stuck to the straw hut earlier. The ripples in his heart gradually calmed down.

Things had to be done step by step.

The paper effigy that was disguised as his master returned to Little Qiong Peak on a cloud. He entered Li Changshou's straw hut first. Then, Li Changshou and the paper effigy entered his master's house.

The paper effigy's mission had come to an end.

After a while, only Li Changshou walked out.

A few days later, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu went to visit his "Junior Brother Qi Yuan" whom he had just gotten closer to. He wanted to give him the reward given by the sect for his efforts in extinguishing the demons. He also wanted to inform Qi Yuan of the punishment that the demoness suffered.

Li Changshou used the excuse of "my master seemed to be in agony for some reason, for the past few days" to stop Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. He then discussed the matters of the past with him.

Jiu Wu repeated what he had said previously.

Li Changshou asked for a few details, and Jiu Wu answered him in detail as well.

After that, Li Changshou repeatedly begged Uncle-Master Jiu Wu to ask the other two executives who had gone out with him back then to keep the matter a secret and not mention it in the sect again…

Jiu Wu agreed solemnly. To Jiu Wu, it was a small matter.

Thus, the small episode Lindong City came to an end.

The vixen that he had captured was suppressed outside the Immortal Du Sect's gate by the sect's elders. She was punished by being grounded in an Earth Meridian Array for 300 years.

That vixen could not die, so it did not say anything. She was quietly suppressed under a mountain peak and she did not seem to be too resentful.

Li Changshou thought that it would be best if the demoness was dealt with directly.

However, none of the immortals in the sect wanted to lose merit or increase their negative karma, so they could only temporarily seal her outside the sect.

Li Changshou did not take her, a demonic fox lightly.

After all, it was "his master" and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu who took action and captured her. They even carried her "house" away from the mortal world.

Li Changshou had read about a few ways to destroy merit in ancient books. Although it was troublesome, it was not impossible.

However, dealing with the demonic fox was not his main priority for now.

After confirming that his master's enemy was Kuai Si from the Immortal Downpour Peak, Li Changshou quickly began to secretly investigate and plan. His immortal senses did not stop for a moment, and they enveloped the entire Immortal Downpour Peak…

Even if it was just a small matter, he had to put in all his efforts.

He wanted to implement the perfect plan to eliminate the enemy. Naturally, he had to plan carefully.

He had to formulate a plan of action, mark out the various difficulties, and analyze them one by one. In the end, he would have to come up with a few plans, choose the most perfect one, and make the remaining preparations.

After all, causing the other party to end up in a mishap would be the safest option for him.

About half a year later, Li Changshou finally met Kuai Si.

He was a middle-aged Daoist. His face was decent-looking, and his bearing was extraordinary. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was indeed somewhat "good-looking": Daoist Kuai Si entered from outside the gate. He had presumably just returned to the Immortal Du Sect from elsewhere. When he returned to the Immortal Forest Peak, he had looked in the direction of the Little Qiong Peak four times. His gaze was cold.

Li Changshou grabbed a bamboo slip and wrote down the details.

Daoist 'Kuai Si' [2. Means 'about to die' in Chinese)…

A Daoist who's about to die?

Ever since he learned of that name, Li Changshou had started to prepare for revenge for his master.

Outside the sect, two 'Heaven' paper effigies were on standby. They brought poisonous pills that could kill twenty Heaven Immortals.

Li Changshou could keep multitasking for a long time. It was not difficult for him to divide his attention and focus on the Immortal Downpour Peak with his immortal senses.

However, what made Li Changshou worried was… the fact that ever since his master read those sixteen words, he had never left the straw hut.

If Li Changshou had not sensed his master's condition, he would have broken the array and entered the array to investigate.

However, he could not neglect his own cultivation for the sake of observing.

Li Changshou continued to refine pills, read books, gain insight, teach his junior sister, and regularly went outside his master's house to greet him and talk to him.

Twelve years passed in a flash. Daoist Kuai Si had been cultivating in his Cave Abode.

This Daoist probably did not know that someone had long secretly seen through the isolation array outside his cave and that a wisp of immortal senses had been staring at him for more than ten years.

Even though Daoist Kuai Si had a vague feeling that someone was watching him, he was already… used to it after ten-odd years.

It was normal for a Perfected Immortal to cultivate in seclusion for tens or hundreds of years. If the other party did not move, Li Changshou would not.

However, Li Changshou did not expect to receive a piece of news before he could go and visit Kuai Si.

Due to the previous calamity that struck the Immortal Du Sect, the sect wanted to relieve the pressure on the disciples and select the outstanding ones to participate in the Three Sects' Meet…

The internal sect competition that was held once every 200 years would be held in advance, in three years' time…

Report chapter

Chapter 115 Fellow Daoist, The Path Is Narrow

"The internal sect competition…"

It began to rain in Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou tidied up the pills in the Pill Chamber and headed towards the straw hut. He was thinking about the important internal sect competition that he and his junior sister could not avoid.

Now, his cultivation level was at the first stage of the Dao Requital realm. His disciple ranking within the sect was maintained in the twenties.

To the sect, he was an immortal seedling who had taken the wrong path. He liked to refine pills and array formations.

To Li Changshou, that position was just right. He did not have much of a presence, but he could also receive better treatment in the sect.

He kept a wisp of immortal senses and watched Daoist Kuai Si, who was in seclusion on the Immortal Downpour Peak. Li Changshou then focused most of his attention back onto the trivial matter before him…

"It's time to deliver the poison." Youqin Xuanya had just arrived yesterday and he felt that she should not have left yet.

Over the past decade, Youqin Xuanya has come to the Little Qiong Peak rather regularly.

Every two years, she would appear at the Little Qiong Peak on time.

It was like she was just performing an official chore that was part of her routine, in order to maintain the friendship.

At the same time, it was also because she had not seen a certain senior brother for a long time and she felt slightly empty deep down.

She felt that Senior Brother Changshou was a role model for her. She had to look at him often to know if she had gone astray…

Every time she visited, Li Changshou would avoid her and let Ling'e accompany her for tea instead.

Li Changshou would only appear when Youqin Xuanya was about to leave and return to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to continue cultivating in seclusion. He would say a few words to her and bid her farewell.

That way, Youqin Xuanya would feel that her trip was not wasted. When she returned, she would not repeatedly look back either.

The rain was hazy, and the clouds gradually rose.

Li Changshou quickly walked to the lake and threw some fish food into the lake.

The mountains in the far distance were hidden, and there were ripples on the nearby waters.

In the straw hut behind him, which was within two layers of array formations, the cups and plates were strewn all over the place. The banquet had long ended. The three figures were sleeping on Ling'e's bed…

Youqin Xuanya's exclusive spot was at the foot of the bed. She was sleeping soundly. Lingle lay on her side while Jiu Jiu hugged her wine jar and sat by the bed.

All three of them had rouge on their faces which were painted badly to make them look funny. Jiu Jiu had the most rouge on her face. Naturally, she had lost the most miserably yesterday. Li Changshou glanced at Youqin Xuanya's cultivation level…

She was at the sixth stage of the Dao Requital realm, which was still three stages away from reaching her Heavenly Tribulation.

Li Changshou was slightly worried about Youqin Xuanya's Tribulation Transcendence.

Judging from Youqin Xuanya's current aptitude, she would have at least seven Heavenly Tribulations, or eight Thunder Tribulations.

However, Youqin Xuanya's cultivation level was still rather low. If she encountered a Heavenly Tribulation like the one he had, she might…

Although Youqin Xuanya did not "benefit" him much, she was still considered half a friend…

I'll give her ten percent of the set of preparations for the Tribulation Transcendence that I had made for Ling'e.

Li Changshou smiled in his head. As he observed his master's condition, he stared at his enemy.

In comparison, Li Changshou felt that it was a little unjust.

Ling'e had heard about the incident that happened between Junior Brother Qi Qi and Senior Sister Yan'er back then. She had also asked around and found out some rumors about their master, Uncle-Master, and Daoist Kuai Si.

According to the rumors, Master and Daoist Kuai Si had a conflict because of an issue regarding Dao companions. Both of them had a private battle.

However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had mentioned a sneak attack.

Based on Li Changshou's secret investigation over the past ten years, as well as the information that he had obtained from his master, he had more or less figured out the original story… About a thousand years ago, the master of Little Qiong Peak took in two disciples. When his disciples' cultivation level was on the right track, he left to wander the world and seek a breakthrough.

He left Wan Jiangyu, and her Junior Brother, Qi Yuan behind.

They were all immortal seedlings of that batch of disciples back then. Wan Jiangyu was ranked 89th, and Qi Yuan was ranked 145th.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts. In the environment of the Immortal Du Sect where everyone had a Dao companion, they naturally had feelings for each other.

After that, the immortal seedling of the Immortal Downpour Peak, Kuai Si, fell in love with Wan Jiangyu at first sight. He begged for her to reciprocate his feelings for more than ten years but to no avail. Hence, he blamed it on Qi Yuan. He secretly provoked Qi Yuan and was at odds with him. In the end, he asked Qi Yuan out for a battle. In reality, he secretly launched a sneak attack and severely injured Qi Yuan…

That was why Wan Jiangyu took the risk and went out to search for herbs for Qi Yuan.

As for the rumor that Ling'e had first found out, Wan Jiangyu was angry that she had been objectified and treated as a "treasure" that the male Qi Refinement cultivators fought over. Hence, she left the sect to look for her master, while Qi Yuan and Kuai Si fought. Qi Yuan was not his match and ended up getting severely injured.

That piece of news was actually spread by the Immortal Downpour Peak back then. They were just biased towards Kuai Si.

Back then, Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu and his master were isolated and helpless. There were no elders or immortals from Little Qiong Peak and hence, they had no choice but to bear with it.

Now…

Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu died miserably in the North Continent. Fortunately, her remnant soul reincarnated in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Qi Yuan's Dao base had been damaged and he had struggled for eight to nine hundred years. He should have died under the Heavenly Tribulation, but he had been saved by a pill from his eldest disciple, Li Changshou.

Li Changshou was a little angry. The reason why he was angry was not that Kuai Si was despicable and shameless. He had long experienced such people in his previous life.

Li Changshou was angered by two things.

Firstly, the sect's choice of internal punishment after the incident was based on the principle of downplaying major matters into smaller ones and avoiding trouble. The Immortal Downpour Peak managed to protect Kuai Si. Kuai Si was now rigorous and in high spirits. He had a Dao companion, became a Heaven Immortal Conspiracy, and was working towards immortality. However, his master could only reach the Perfected Immortal realm at most.

Secondly, Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu had been forced to such a state by the Immortal Forest Peak. How helpless had she been? There were numerous immortals in the sect, yet she had to go to the North Continent alone…

However, it did not matter.

If the sect did not punish the culprit, he, Qi Yuan's disciple, would go and seek justice on his behalf!

There were tension and disagreements between the peaks. That was the conclusion that Li Changshou had come to after entering the sect.

Therefore, he would not deliberately target the Immortal Downpour Peak. At most, he would launch some sneak attacks during the internal competition in the sect where he would meet the disciples of the Immortal Downpour Peak.

Now, I just need you to move.

Li Changshou squinted slightly. He stared at the Immortal Downpour Peak that was shrouded in the rain and fog, as well as the figure that was meditating in the Cave Abode.

"Senior Brother? When did you come over?"

Li Changshou turned around and saw Lingle walking out of the straw hut.

She was combing her long, smooth hair with her fingers. Her pretty face was slightly flushed because she had just woken up. She smiled at Li Changshou. The two figures slowly woke up in the straw hut behind him…

Li Changshou smiled at Ling'e.

Back then, Wan Jiangyu could not protect her junior brother, and no one stood up for Little Qiong Peak.

It will not be the case now.

A moment later.

"Tsk, tsk. Little Changshou, Little Ling'e. Which place are you planning to come in when you compete on behalf of Little Qiong Peak in this internal Sect Tournament?". Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu leaned against the door frame of the straw hut and asked with a smile on her face.

Ling'e blinked and looked at her senior brother.

Youqin Xuanya, who was nervously adjusting her dress, stood on her tiptoes and looked outside.

Clearly, they were very concerned about Li Changshou's "ambitiousness".

Li Changshou pondered for a moment. He originally wanted to say that it would be enough for him to get into the top fifty places. If he could obtain most of the rewards given by the sect, it would be useless to fight to get into the top twenty.

However, for safety's sake, he hesitated slightly and announced the expected ranking.

"I'll definitely come in the 108th place but I'm aiming for the 72nd place… yeah."

Ling'e burst out laughing.

Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes. Youqin Xuanya, who had just tied the garment around her waist, frowned.

Youqin Xuanya thought to herself, Senior Brother Changshou is very outstanding no matter what. He is just too humble and lacks confidence.

Just as she was about to speak, Little Aunt-Master had already launched into a tirade.

"Little Changshou, can you be a little more promising! Everyone in Heaven-Breaking Peak knows that I am close to you! If your ranking in the internal sect competition is too low, I will be utterly embarrassed!"

Ling'e chuckled. She knew that her senior brother had already transcended the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, so she was not worried about his performance in the sect competition at all…

"Senior Brother Changshou."

Youqin Xuanya walked out of the straw hut and looked at Li Changshou.

"There are still three years before the competition. I have encountered some obstacles during cultivation recently. Why don't I come over a few more times? We can spar with each other and improve our abilities."

Li Changshou smiled and replied, "Junior Sister Youqin, just focus on your cultivation. When the time comes, I will work hard and I should be able to reach the Heavenly Dipper realm."

"That's more like it!"

Jiu Jiu snorted, but she was still a little dissatisfied. She continued, "The number of disciples in the sect will be fixed once every two hundred years. The internal sect competition is very important. It will decide whether or not you can continue to cultivate in the sect. Ling'e has only been in the sect for a short period of time. You have already been in the sect for more than a hundred years. You must aim to be in the top thirty-six places!"

"Aunt-Master, you're right!"

Li Changshou bowed solemnly. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Then this time, I'll be bolder. I'll definitely get into the 72nd place but I'll fight for 36th place!"

Jiu Jiu was instantly touched. She gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up. She said, "Although you will not be allowed to use poisonous pills, incapacitating agents, and array formations during the internal sect competition, you will definitely be able to do it if you go all out!"

Beside her, Ling'e placed her hands behind her back and looked up at the sky… "Senior Brother Changshou." Youqin Xuanya took half a step forward as well. Her eyes were glistening. "Senior Brother, do you have any hopes for me?" "Since you are the Head Disciple, you have to do it…"

Li Changshou paused. He felt that his words might put a lot of pressure on Youqin Xuanya. Hence, he changed his mind and said, "Fight for the top three." "Pui!"

Jiu Jiu let out a cold snort and trembled slightly. She was aggressive.

She said fiercely, "Xuan Ya naturally has to fight for the title. That's the only way she can prove herself to be worthy of being the Head Disciple." Li Changshou smiled and said, "The fights don't just depend on one's cultivation level. The ability to react during critical junctures, your mystical abilities, and your treasures tend to affect your performance too. The effects of the latter three are even greater…"

Li Changshou paused a little.

Daoist Kuai Si from the Immortal Downpour Peak had already stood up and walked out of the Cave Abode.

Three young disciples stood outside the Cave Abode and reported to him about the internal sect competition… Li Changshou's thoughts were running through his mind. He remained calm and smiled.

"If you don't mind, why don't you come over tomorrow and let's spar for a few days?"

Youqin Xuanya smiled and said, "I'll come over tomorrow morning." "I'll wait for you, Junior Sister."

Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya bowed and smiled at each other.

Youqin Xuanya did not think too much about it. She was purely elated.

Li Changshou considered the matter and thought, If Daoist Kuai Si is going out this time…

The first witness who could prove that he had an alibi had appeared.

Based on Li Changshou's understanding of the three people in front of him, the second witness who could prove that he had an alibi would jump out soon. "In that case!" *Coughs*

Jiu Jiu placed her hands behind her back and took two steps forward like an expert. "I'll give you a few days of guidance since I'm your Aunt-Master."

She continued, "Remember to prepare your gifts for me. I want… a hundred sugar bean pills and ten jars of good wine!"

Li Changshou nodded with a smile.

Qi Yuan who looked a little haggard stood in front of the door of his straw hut. When he heard the laughter outside, his lips curled into a smile of gratification. He raised his hand and lowered it again.

Then, Qi Yuan turned around and returned to the meditation cushion. He sat cross-legged to meditate and continued to cultivate. Li Changshou naturally saw that scene. He pondered for a while and came up with a plan…

Although revenge was important, it was equally important to let his master recover and enjoy the rest of his life.

After all, Li Changshou did not go looking for Daoist Kuai Si to vent his anger.

He just felt unjust for his master.

Daoist Kuai Si did not disappoint Li Changshou.

The Perfected Immortal Daoist who had been cultivating in the mountain for more than ten years had promised his disciples that they would each obtain a superior-class Dharma treasure before the big competition.

Thus, Daoist Kuai Si left the mountain the next day and headed towards the familiar town in the north.

Li Changshou naturally would not let go of that opportunity that he had been waiting for more than ten years. The two paper effigies had embarked on the journey at the same time. They naturally carried the spare paper effigies with them.

Kuai Si flew forward while the paper effigies used the Earth Escape technique and secretly followed him. After following him for two days, they arrived at a small town near the border of the North Continent. If he wanted to attack, he naturally had to stay as far away from the Immortal Du Sect as possible.

That place was filled with demons and humans. It was rather lively, and there were many people performing hard labor to earn money.

After some thought, Li Changshou began to implement the second plan.

An hour later…

When Daoist Kuai Si was choosing some Dharma treasures that had unknown origins, in a Dharma treasure shop that he was familiar with, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking over from the corner of the street.

The Daoist was stunned for a moment. His immortal senses immediately followed the figure, and his eyes were filled with confusion.

The figure was wearing a cloak, but his face and body… were exactly the same as Daoist Kuai Si's body!

However, his cultivation level was barely at the Perfected Immortal realm.

Although that person had tried his best to "advance" his cultivation level to the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm, a discerning person would be able to see through him at a glance.

This is… atrocious!

How dare you impersonate me in this place. You are courting death. At that moment, Daoist Kuai Si said to the owner of the Dharma treasure shop that he would come back later and then quickly walked out of the shop. He hid his aura and followed behind secretly. Soon, he left the town and rode his cloud to chase the figure.

At the same time, on Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou looked at the dazzling and eye-catching Youqin Xuanya in front of him and made an inviting gesture. "Junior Sister, make your move… Remember to hold back and save more energy today." Youqin Xuanya looked serious. She bowed to Li Changshou and immediately charged forward with her sword.

Report chapter

Chapter 116 Paying Someone Back in Their Own Coin, Doubled

On Little Qiong Peak, the flaming swords shuttled and the talisman array formations rotated. Two figures were fighting in mid-air.

Youqin Xuanya, who had changed into an icy-blue dress today, was still as beautiful as she was in the past.

In front of the straw hut, Little Aunt-Master and Little Junior Sister, who were sitting on both sides of the short table, were raising their heads and looking out while continuously munching on some snacks and sipping tea.

When Youqin Xuanya flew over their heads, Little Aunt-Master would yelp… "Little Ya! You're wearing…"

Ling'e hurriedly interrupted, "Aunt-Master!"

Jiu Jiu continued, "Hey, hehe. Little Ya is still as pretty as she was yesterday."

In the air, Li Changshou activated the array formation with a smile. With his agile movement technique, he seemed to be engaged in a battle with Youqin Xuanya. However, in reality… he was being chased and beaten up.

Youqin Xuanya followed Jiu Jiu's instructions. Although she only used eighty percent of her cultivation level, she also used all her Dharma treasures as she took every sparring session seriously…

The talisman amulets for the talisman array formations were consumables. Although they were cheap, Li Changshou still felt the pinch after several days of sparring.

Every resource of their Little Poor Peak was valuable!

However, it was worth it.

In the sky above a dense forest near a town that was at the border of the North Continent and the South Continent, a figure in a cloak flew past. Not long after, another figure chased after it…

The two figures were in close proximity to each other.

The person in front was naturally the paper effigy that was disguised as Daoist Kuai Si by Li Changshou.

The one at the back was the actual Daoist Kuai Si, whom Li Changshou had been monitoring continuously.

Ten years of waiting… He had been chased for tens of thousands of kilometers…

The other party had been lured out so easily that Li Changshou had no chance to make an appearance in any of the methods that he had come up with after thinking for a long time.

He felt like he had not met his match at all. Although his opponent looked down on him, Li Changshou looked up to his opponent.

xLi Changshou did not lay an ambush in that direction or set up an array formation because that might trigger the other party's spiritual perception. At the same time, Li Changshou was suppressing his murderous intent. He was thinking about how he could communicate with the other party to prevent him from having a premonition.

After taking a look at the Sensing Stone, Li Changshou felt that he already had the opportunity to make a move. At this moment, very few people were paying attention to them…

There was no hurry. He had to hold on.

His immortal senses did not stop for a moment. He probed the surrounding environment that was within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. He also probed up and down, from a high altitude to ten thousand feet underground.

Li Changshou devoted all of his energy to making continuous calculations and deductions.

One of the paper effigies remained put and lured the opponent out, while another paper effigy released the third paper effigy, as well as eight original paper dolls in another direction. They secretly set up the "home ground" that they would use later…

More than half of the treasures that he had bought with his monthly allowance from the sect and accumulated over a decade of practicing alchemy, were used there.

In order to make Ling'e feel a little involved, Li Changshou even deducted a few months' worths of allowance from Ling'e and got her to exchange it for some materials to refine large batches of array formation foundations.

Of course, Ling'e did not know what Senior Brother was using those materials for. However, if Senior Brother needed them, she would get them for him.

Li Changshou liked to take the initiative, but he did not like to get embroiled with karma.

Today, Li Changshou had taken the initiative to make a move. He had already made a thorough plan, as well as a follow-up plan for responding to the situation.

Although he could not say that he was 100% confident since the Daoist whom he wanted to mess with could be considered a disciple of Ren School, the Daoist had already taken the bait.

At that moment, his confidence could be considered to be at about 98%.

The two figures flew 500 kilometers away. Daoist Kuai Si's killing intent towards his impersonator intensified.

It was obvious that he had committed lots of sordid acts like killing others and robbing them of their treasures, as well as tailing. When he followed behind, he maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close. He was very experienced… After flying for 600 kilometers, Daoist Kuai Si began to increase his speed quietly. He continued to conceal his aura fluctuations and quietly approached from the side.

Daoist Kuai Si was about to attack the paper effigy who was pretending to be him.

What Li Changshou cared about was that there were no longer any immortal senses that were probing, shown on the Sensing Stones.

Clearly, tailing others and committing murder was considered normal in that town where humans and demons cohabited. It was nothing unusual.

The paper effigy, which was disguised as Daoist Kuai Si, secretly opened a porcelain bottle and continued flying for thousands of feet. All of a sudden, it turned around and looked behind.

Ten thousand feet behind him, Daoist Kuai Si frowned and stopped.

However, after that, Daoist Kuai Si sneered and slowly rose into the sky, remaining at the same altitude as his impersonator. "Fellow Daoist." Daoist Kuai Si continued calmly, "If you're going around pretending to be me, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Since we have already formed this karma, I'm afraid we will have to do this today."

Kuai Si's impersonator's expression changed. He slowly retreated in the air and cupped his hands while facing Daoist Kuai Si. He said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. I'm only doing this because I want to take advantage of you. I have no intention of offending you."

"Take advantage?"

Daoist Kuai Si rode a cloud and advanced forward. He held a longsword and a flying shuttle in his hands which were placed behind his back. His immortal power was also injected into his Dharma treasure…

A hint of panic appeared on the face of Kuai Si's impersonator. "Fellow Daoist, I'm just pretending to be you. I didn't tarnish your reputation. There's no need for that."

"Hah." Daoist Kuai Si squinted. The flying shuttle had already disappeared from his hands.

The flying shuttle seemed to be able to disappear. At that moment, it made a huge detour and quietly touched the back of Kuai Si's impersonator.

Li Changshou curled his lips and thought, This fellow is also an expert at sneak attacks and dirty tricks…

Well… Why should I say 'also'…

Unfortunately, even though Daoist Kuai Si had the flying shuttle Dharma treasure, he was still less vigilant…

It was not easy to poison someone in the air as it would take some time to do so, and the action would easily be discovered by the other party.

However, at that moment, the two figures retreated and advanced respectively. Most of Daoist Kuai Si's attention was fixed on controlling the flying shuttle… Suddenly, a piercing sound could be heard as the flying shuttle appeared behind Kuai Si's impersonator. It was covered in blazing flames and it was smashed against the back of his head.

A cold smile appeared on Daoist Kuai Si's lips. However, it instantly stiffened.

The aura of the person pretending to be him suddenly surged. He went from the initial-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm to the late-stage!

Just as his flying shuttle was about to hit the back of the other party's head, a huge hand reached behind him. Immortal power gathered in the palm and it grabbed the flying shuttle, extinguishing the immortal flames on it.

"Fellow Daoist." Kuai Si's impersonator grabbed the flying shuttle that was quivering continuously and he said coldly, "It seems that I will have to do this today."

Daoist Kuai Si's expression changed. However, he did not say anything and immediately retreated!

However, before he could turn around and retreat more than 100 feet, his vision suddenly turned dark and he fell to the ground…

His essence soul was in a daze and his mind was distracted.

However, the phony Kuai Si flew forward quickly. He held the flying shuttle in one hand and Daoist Kuai Si in the other. He instantly sealed Kuai Si's cultivation level.

He quickly fell into the forest below and used Earth Escape to disappear.

The first step… was executed pretty well.

Although he had only plotted against a Perfected Immortal, he had paid attention to his acting skills and his lines. He had made calculations and predicted the other party's reaction, after which he executed the perfect technique for poisoning…

A moment later…

1250 kilometers away from the town, in the deepest part of the valley that was covered by an array formation.

Kuai Si experienced excruciating pain in his essence soul…

When Daoist Kuai Si woke up from his sleep, he felt like he had experienced a terrifying nightmare.

In his dream, various scenes appeared one after another, as if someone was searching through his memories.

However, in reality, it had only been about half an hour since the moment he fainted. Someone had indeed used the Soul-searching Technique on him.

To be safe, Li Changshou had to confirm whether that fellow, Kuai Si, had harmed his master or not.

Although the Soul-searching Technique was against nature, it was not difficult to master. Li Changshou had seen it in an ancient scroll.

It was better to search Kuai Si's soul than kill him by mistake.

However, things went awry after he started searching…

Li Changshou was a gentle, refined, and cultured young man of Ren School. However, he almost turned Kuai Si into ashes!

Although the Immortal Du Sect was only a mid-grade immortal sect, there were quite a number of disciples. It was understandable that there would inevitably be a few scums…

Li Changshou had always been adhering to his strict requirements for himself to start and end a battle quickly and escape as soon as he attacked.

However, this time, he set up an isolation array in advance. He had to leave behind some "evidence" and give his enemy a terrible experience. Thus, he had to spend more time.

At that moment, Daoist Kuai Si had woken up and completed an internal scan on himself…

"No… My essence soul…" Daoist Kuai Si shouted weakly.

The middle-aged man's face was pale. His eyes were listless and out of focus at first, after which he panicked.

His essence soul had withered!

He did not know what was going on, but his essence soul had dropped to the preceding realm. He was curled up and powerless. There was not much immortal power left in his body.

Nine long nails had been inserted into his Dao body, sealing his diaphragm, lower abdomen, his skull, and other vital parts of his body. That was also the source of the excruciating pain…

That was not all. The tufts of turbid earth meridian Qi invaded his immortal body and tainted his immortal glow. The three Dao flowers that had yet to bloom had already withered…

At that moment, Daoist Kuai Si clearly knew that he had been crippled.

His Dao base had been completely destroyed!

Daoist Kuai Si's eyes turned red as he cursed, "Who!?! Who are you!?! How can you be so vicious!?!"

A figure suddenly emerged from the ground in front of them. He was dressed in black and had a long face. There was a black aura surrounding him. He smiled coldly at Daoist Kuai Si.

Daoist Kuai Si was obviously stunned. He immediately recognized the figure and could not help but curse. "It's actually you! Since you have taken my Spirit Stones and precious materials, why did you go back on your words and attack me like this!?!"

That person was none other than the centipede demon that Li Changshou and Jiu Wu had destroyed in the brothel.

At that moment, it was naturally the paper effigy that was disguised as the centipede demon by Li Changshou.

Since he had never heard the centipede demon speak, Li Changshou could only say in a hoarse voice, "The other party gave me much more."

"I shouldn't have believed you! He's just a Turbid Immortal. What can he give you?!"

Suddenly, Daoist Kuai Si sensed that something was amiss.

He had never revealed his face to the centipede demon before…

Boom! Boom!

A muffled rumbling of thunder sounded above his head. Daoist Kuai Si looked up and saw that the sky had already turned dark.

The Daoist's face turned even paler…

The dark clouds were hanging low, and there were lightning spots on them. Spiritual energy gathered around them, and so did the lightning spots.

On the grassland not far away, a huge hand stretched out and put away a Sound-Shadow Sphere that was placed there previously.

The Sound-Shadow Sphere was meant to prevent the matter from blowing up. He did not want to alarm the experts of Ren School and cause them to deduce the matter.

Although the probability of that happening was very low, he had to consider it carefully.

The paper effigy that was disguised as a centipede sneered. It slowly took two steps back, and its expression gradually changed. It raised his hands and pinched its face. In front of Daoist Kuai Si, he transformed into a clone of Daoist Kuai Si.

Kuai Si barked angrily, "You!"

"Look up." The paper effigy pointed at the sky.

In the array formation, Daoist Kuai Si raised his head and looked up. The dark clouds in the sky were shining, and countless lightning bolts suddenly exploded, forming a lightning pillar in the sky!

It was as if the Heavenly River gates were open and a sea of thunder was surging.

Lightning flashed and engulfed Daoist Kuai Si who was kneeling on the ground… Triple-kill Heavenly Thunder Array Formation!

It was the strongest one of all the array formations that Li Changshou had set up. It was also the closest to the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

He had already refined the array foundations and array discs. He only placed them here quickly and used a few small Spirit Gathering Formations to quickly gather spiritual energy

The array formation had three waves of lightning

The first ray of lightning landed and Daoist Kuai Si did not have any immortal power to resist it. His immortal body was blasted apart, and his essence soul was torn apart. A huge hole was formed in the ground

While he was still breathing, Li Changshou activated the second wave of lightning and released it. The ray of lightning fell again…

Li Changshou felt that it was a pity that it was not a true Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation. There was no Heavenly Tribulation that could turn Qi Refinement cultivators into ashes instantly.

After the third wave of lightning, Daoist Kuai Si was only left with half of his charred body which had been severed.

Li Changshou placed his attention on the paper effigy. At that moment, he was already in front of Daoist Kuai Si's corpse. Without saying a word, he thought to himself, The Dao base was destroyed to fight against the lightning

"You should have experienced that feeling, right?"

With a wave of his sleeve, the paper dolls turned their heads and jumped out. They quickly cleaned up the remnants of the array formation.

Another three Soul-Bewitching Pearls were thrown out and absorbed the remnant soul.

This time, he did not perform the step of reading the sutra for expiation.

It was impossible for Li Changshou to let that person reincarnate.

As compensation, Li Changshou first used the True Samadhi Flames to burn him once, followed by the Cold Ghostly Flames.

In the end, he was still worried. He released two Soul-devouring Worms and made them stay near the pile of ashes.

Then, he used the True Samadhi Flames to ignite the poisonous worms… Li Changshou sent the ashes on the ground flying. There was a look of relief in his eyes. He felt much more carefree, and he seemed to have understood something.

However, this time, he could only reject the epiphany because he still had many matters to attend to…

It was easy to kill enemies, but he still had to make careful arrangements for the matters after the killing of enemies.

Report chapter

Chapter 117 Sigh, My Relationship Has Turned Sour

What else did I miss?

The more he felt that he could relax, the more he could not let his guard down.

Li Changshou stood by the lake and pondered.

Seven days had passed since Daoist Kuai Si left the mountain. It's quiet at Little Qiong Peak again.

Youqin Xuanya still has to go into seclusion to cultivate after all. She would not come here from today onwards.

Moreover, she had been at Little Qiong Peak for a long time. She had witnessed me and Master staying in the mountain for the past few days. That's enough.

Li Changshou had to hold back.

At that moment, he was an inferior immortal seedling in the sect. If something happened to a Perfected Immortal, he would naturally not be a suspect.

However, in the future, once his true cultivation level was exposed, the Immortal Downpour Peak could very likely link Li Changshou, who had concealed his own abilities, to Kuai Si's disappearance since Qi Yuan had a feud with the latter…

Youqin Xuanya was a very righteous Qi Refinement cultivator. There was a high chance that she would step forward and clarify that matter.

By then, the truth would be blurred and he would have more opportunities to deal with

it.

At that moment, someone at the Immortal Downpour Peak realized that they could not contact Daoist Kuai Si. They suspected that something had happened to him.

A few Perfected Immortals of the same generation as Kuai Si had already gone out to search for him.

If they could not find any clues left behind by Li Changshou, that would be fine.

If they did, he would be led to the vast North Continent. Li Changshou would not know what would happen next.

In any case, the paper Daoist who was disguised as Kuai Si had already found a crack in the bottom of a valley and lit up a ball of True Samadhi Flames for himself before returning to the void.

So far, apart from the Tribulation Transcendence and the trivial matters of his daily life, Li Changshou had only taken the initiative to plan two major matters.

The first was when he went to the North Continent to help his master find some herbs for his Tribulation Transcendence. He had prepared for more than ten years.

The second time, which was the matter regarding Kuai Si, had also taken him more than ten years to prepare,

The matter regarding the Sea God Sect was not a big deal. It was purely a coincidence that rendered him helpless, forced him to fight back, and earn merit while pushing the blame to others…

It would be best if he stayed put in the mountain if he did not want to be embroiled with any karma.

However, the big black turtle in the North Continent back then did not do anything and yet, trouble fell from the sky. All four of its limbs were chopped off by the Saint to support the world.

Li Changshou did not dare to include that story in the Steadiness Sutra.

Therefore, when he was secretly cultivating in the mountains, he had to do his best to protect himself. It was also necessary for him to make sure that he did not look like he had any special traits, and that he had prepared well enough to flee for his life.

Li Changshou went into seclusion in the straw hut and observed the reaction of the people in the Immortal Downpour Peak.

Even though he had the ability to face the elders of the peak head-on, the support he received from the Immortal Du Sect had finally stabilized and he had become a recognized disciple. He did not want to lose that backing.

When he searched Daoist Kuai Si's soul, Li Changshou also saw the elder who had stood behind Daoist Kuai Si and humiliated his master and aunt-master was.

He was Daoist Kuai Si's master, an elder from the Immortal Downpour Peak who was at the early-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm.

It was precisely because of that person that Daoist Kuai Si, who had launched a sneak attack on Qi Yuan, did not receive the punishment that he should have according to the sect rules. That caused Little Qiong Peak to be completely alienated.

Li Changshou kept it in mind.

If he had the chance to add insult to injury to that Heaven Immortal Elder in the future, he would definitely sneak up and throw Little Qiong Peak at him…

The bamboo slip that he had previously used to pen down the matters about Daoist Kuai Si had already disappeared from the Pill Furnace. Half a month later, the Immortal Forest Peak was in chaos.

Originally, it was common for a Perfected Immortal to go out and not return for more than a hundred days.

However, before Daoist Kuai Si left, he said that he was going to get some Dharma treasures that his disciple could use during the sect competition. However, after such a long time, there was no news from him. They could not even contact him using the communication jade token…

There was an elder who was good at divination. When the divination was being carried out, the turtle shell shattered…

Kuai Si's Dao companion knew many things about him, so she led her subordinates to the town to investigate. Following the clues, she was led to the border of the North Continent.

Another month later, the people of the Immortal Downpour Peak were almost certain that Kuai Si had died, and that the reason for his death was because he had fought with someone outside the town.

Such matters were common in the Primordial World.

The elders of the Immortal Du Sect had also worked together to make a deduction. They could only deduce the day that Kuai Si had died and there was no other information.

There was no other choice.

If there was a clear enemy, the people Immortal Du Sect would stand up and seek an explanation for the member of their sect.

However, there were no traces of his enemies. He did not leave any useful clues behind. The Immortal Du Sect could only comfort Daoist Kuai Si's Dao companion and disciples.

They arranged for another Perfected Immortal to help him teach Kuai Si's disciples and helped his Dao companion find another Dao companion…

Ahem, that would depend on one's will.

As for the master of Little Qiong Peak and his two disciples, they did not have any presence in that matter.

Li Changshou observed quietly for a year and temporarily put that matter aside. As for the evil deeds that Daoist Kuai Si had done, Li Changshou could not be bothered to mention them.

He was not like his toxic junior sister. He did not have such a strong sense of justice.

Being able to live with his conscience was enough for him.

The various peaks of the Immortal Du Sect were also bustling with activity. The internal sect competition for the younger generation would be held in advance, and all disciples had to take part.

The immortals of the older generation had also come out of seclusion one after another to teach the younger generation how to fight.

The masters also got busy with their own tasks. They would reward their disciples with some Dharma treasures that they no longer needed and teach them how to adapt and react during fights.

Some of the disciples who were not considered competent were inspired by the battle between the terrible immortal seedling of Little Qiong Peak and the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace. They began to strengthen their escape techniques.

However, most of them had one question…

Why was their Earth Escape so stiff?

It was very troublesome for them to get in and out of the ground. It was not as smooth and natural as when Senior Brother Li (Junior Brother) raised his spiked mace.

That was probably an issue of talent and temperament.

The date of the competition was approaching.

Li Changshou had been refining pills for several months. He had made use of the paper effigies to make money by making them go out twice. Finally, he had replenished the inventory of his poisonous pills.

On this day, he and Lan Ling'e had a discussion and started working together. They killed two chickens with colorful feathers, killed two snakeheads, cooked a pot of jade frogs, and whipped up a few stir-fried immortal spirit vegetable dishes, which would be paired with two bottles of fine wine. They set up a table in Li Changshou's straw hut…

Although Ling'e did not know why her senior brother suddenly wanted to throw such a feast since there was nothing worth celebrating in the mountain, she naturally gave her all to help because she wanted to make her master walk out of seclusion early and cheer up.

After being busy for half a day, the pair stood in front of their master's straw hut.

Li Changshou said loudly, "Master, there's still another year to go before the internal sect competition. Do you want to give us pointers for the technical fight?".

There was no reply from the straw hut.

S

no

Hence, Lan Ling'e, who was at the side, cleared her throat and shouted, "Ah… Senior Brother, don't be like this! We haven't gotten Master's approval yet, so we can't!"

"Hey! Rebellious disciples, stop! You guys are turning yourselves into laughing stocks. You have to go to the Hundred Mortal Hall to register first!"

With a clang, the door of the straw hut was kicked open. Qi Yuan raised his horsetail whisk and rushed out with some remnant enlightenment Dao runes.

Upon sight of the two disciples who were standing in front of him, the old Daoist priest laughed bitterly and cursed, "How can you joke around with such things? It concerns your pride!"

"Hehe." Ling'e quickly grimaced. "Master! Come and try it. I colluded with Senior Brother. No, we worked together to whip up a table full of delicious dishes!"

Li Changshou smiled and said, "I also brewed two bottles of fine wine recently."

The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan sighed softly and looked disappointed. He looked into the distance and his gray hair fluttered slightly.

"My heart is already dead. I will be by your side for the rest of my life. The dishes and wine are superb. You, young people, take your time to taste them… Sigh, Changshou, I have come to a realization recently."

"Master, tell me." Li Changshou listened attentively.

Qi Yuan said, "Cherish the people in front of you. Don't talk about the future. The weather is unpredictable. Who can say if it's a blessing or misfortune?"

At the side, Ling'e blinked slightly. She pursed her lips and stole a glance at her senior brother. Her face was slightly red.

She was the type to say one thing and mean another.

Li Changshou smiled and said, "I will remember this. Master, don't worry. I will definitely protect Junior Sister well."

"That's good." Qi Yuan waved his hand. "You're more capable than me. You and Ling'e can decide on your own regarding the internal competition.

"I will continue to cultivate in seclusion. You should enter the Perfected Immortal realm as soon as possible and do what you previously mentioned. In the future, I'll look forward to the two of you doing well."

After saying that, Qi Yuan turned around and returned to the straw hut. His back view was slightly bleak, and he seemed to be singing…

"The snowflakes flutter, the north wind blows…"

The wooden door of the straw hut was closed, and the array formation was activated once again.

Li Changshou and Ling'e looked at each other worriedly.

Ling'e asked softly, "Senior Brother, what should we do about this?"

Li Changshou shook his head and felt relieved.

To his master, his relationship with Aunt-master was not just a tragic romance, but also a thorn in his heart and an obsession.

Fortunately, he chose not to tell his master the truth. Otherwise, his master's current state of mind would probably be like— "After the mountains are empty and the rain pours again, I'll hang myself on a tree branch in the Southeast"…

"Tsk, it's hard." Li Changshou pondered for a while. He did not have a good plan for now. Ling'e sighed and said, "Love is really torturous." "No." Li Changshou shook his head and said calmly, "What you see now is not what you see. The most torturous thing is not being in love but someone who is stirring trouble secretly… Forget it, I can't say much about that. When your cultivation level is higher in the future and you come into contact with the Inaction Sutra, you will understand."

Ling'e blinked in confusion.

Li Changshou waved his hand and said, "You can't waste the food that we've made. Make a few more dishes. I'll go to Heaven-Breaking Peak to invite Little Aunt-Master and Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. Bring the food to the Pill Chamber."

"Yes!" Ling'e agreed obediently.

"Cook two more fishes and prepare a food container. I'll be visiting Elder Wan Linyun later."

"I, Little Qiong Peak's, female cook, will obey your orders!"

"Female cook? You don't even know what an apron is."

Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed Ling'e's head. He rode a cloud and flew towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

On the other hand, Ling'e continued to think about how to help her master get out of his current state of mind. She went to the kitchen beside the lake to continue cooking…

How can I help Master?

Ling'e recalled her memories in the mountain. Her heart was filled with the

ws of her senior brother, so she did not have much that she could take reference from for that matter.

She recalled the situation in her mortal family. She vaguely remembered that when she was younger, her mother and stepmother had a discussion. That time, it was the death of the spouse of one of her uncles who was a general. He was heartbroken…

Then, her mother and stepmother introduced him to a beautiful lady. In less than two months… that uncle of hers held another wedding banquet.

The moral of that story was-Men are all playboys who love new things and dislike old things. You have to keep an eye on them.

However, she could use that method for her master.

Ling'e blinked and began to think carefully. She was prepared to mention the solution to her senior brother later.

She did not dare to make any random arrangements. She did not want to be punished and made to copy the Steadiness Sutra a few thousand times.

On Heaven-Breaking Peak, Li Changshou flew all the way to Immortal Jiu Jiu's residence. Before he descended from the cloud, he saw a big scene.

He was not the only one. A few disciples who were in charge of miscellaneous tasks, Little Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, and a few Jiu Immortals who appeared during the battle at the Immortal Du Sect were also secretly observing Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's residence…

He heard…

"If you have someone else in your heart, say it! I. Jiu Shi, won't pester you anymore!"

After that, Jiu Shi flew out of the pavilion, covered her nose and mouth, and hurriedly flew away. Li Changshou was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly.

Uh, due to the fact that he had heard about Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu and had been busy keeping an eye on the Immortal Downpour Peak, he did not give Uncle-Master Jiu Wu the Poisonous Dragon Wine.

At that time, he had thought that the formula for the Poison Dragon Wine had already been given to Jiu Wu and Jiu Jiu. He did not expect that there would be a problem…

Li Changshou landed in front of Uncle-Master Jiu Wu's pavilion and said, "I have something to say to you, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu."

"Changshou." A sigh came from inside. "Come in."

Li Changshou walked in and saw the items that had been thrown on the ground. Uncle-Master Jiu Wu activated the array formation around the attic.

"What is it?"

Li Changshou asked softly, "Uncle-Master, what happened?"

Jiu Wu sat at the side. He supported his forehead with one hand and slowly exhaled…

He sighed and said, "Ah, my relationship has turned sour."

Report chapter

Chapter 118 Little Qiong Peak's Special Production of the Ambition Pill

"Aren't Dao companions just people who cultivate together? When did Dao companions become the same as a married couple? Can't I just focus on the Great Dao?

Can't I have some peace and cultivate quietly? Can't I!?!"

In the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Wu's face was slightly red. He sat on the table and smacked it continuously, letting out a low growl.

At the Pill Chamber's banquet, Jiu Wu sat at the main seat. Beside him was Jiu Wu's sixth junior sister, Jiu Lu'er, and his seventh junior brother, Jiu Qi.

Jiu Jiu was naturally there as well. However, she was currently sitting beside Li Changshou and Ling'e. She looked more like the host who was entertaining guests.

Jiu Lu'er looked like a graceful and intelligent fairy who exuded a delicate and gentle aura.

She seemed to love green. She was dressed in an elegant light-green dress and a straw-green jacket. Her red hairpin was carved from clear jade.

Jiu Lu'er was of average height, and her figure was slender and petite. It was somewhat similar to Jiu Jiu, but a little inferior.

She had a round little face, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, and a fair neck…

At first glance, she gave off a very gentle vibe. She spoke in a gentle voice and her speech was well-paced. It was as if one would feel that they were being rude and offensive by speaking loudly to her.

As for Jiu Qi who was beside him… he was also worried about Fifth Senior Brother and the two of them followed him to the banquet.

Jiu Wu drank two cups of wine in sorrow. Jiu Lu'er asked softly, "Fifth Senior Brother, what happened between you and Fourth Senior Sister?"

Therefore, Jiu Wu broke his silence and started complaining.

Jiu Lu'er and Jiu Qi frowned and remained silent.

Li Changshou, who was at the side, kept comforting him. He pinched Jiu Wu's nose and made him gulp down some chicken soup.

Ling'e and Jiu Jiu, who were the only ones who did not know what was going on, looked at each other…

Ling'e only knew a little bit about romance.

Jiu Jiu, on the other hand, had been influenced since she was young. She had cultivated for more than a thousand years and knew about those things. However, because she did not have much experience, she did not know what happened to Fifth Senior Brother. He was suddenly full of complaints…

At the start of the banquet, she heard Jiu Wu whining constantly.

Fortunately, Li Changshou suggested that Jiu Wu go out for a walk and relax. He asked the four of them to eat, drink, and play. Hence, the delectable dishes did not go to waste.

As Li Changshou strolled around the spiritual beast enclosure, he thought about how he could salvage the situation.

Seeing that Jiu Wu had calmed down, Li Changshou asked softly, "Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, there is no one else here. I treat you as my uncle-master and a good friend. What is going on? Haven't you and Aunt-Master Jiu Shi always had a loving relationship?"

"Ah!"

Jiu Wu sighed and turned his head.

Li Changshou asked again, "Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, do you have something… that you find difficult to say?"

"Ah!"

Jiu Wu sighed again and hesitated to speak. Li Changshou thought about it and said in a low voice, "Uncle-Master, there's something I don't know if I should say."

Jiu Wu said, "Tell me. I'm listening."

"Uncle-Master, sometimes, you're not very confident in this aspect," Li Changshou continued, "Actually, you're already very good. If you still end up like this I'll definitely keep a distance from matters regarding Dao companions in the future."

Jiu Wu paused and laughed bitterly before patting his thigh.

"Alright, I'll tell you the truth! I don't know why, but… I just don't want to get close to women lately…"

Li Changshou immediately took half a step back. Jiu Wu was instantly angered to the point of bursting into laughter. He cursed, "Don't think about it! I'm not impotent!"

"Yes, yes." Li Changshou was naturally just cracking a joke. He also knew what Jiu Wu's problem was.

After muttering to himself for a while, Li Changshou said, "Uncle-Master, I heard Master mention the details of the process of you guys destroying the demons. Have you seen the… 'Aged Beauties' painting that I painted?"

"Yes, I have." Jiu Wu frowned and continued, "That painting of yours is just a painting. How could it affect me? I'm a Perfected Immortal after all. My mental state is quite stable."

"It's definitely not just the map alone. However, at that time, it seemed that you had been struck by the demonic vixen's Enchantment Spell, Uncle-Master. At that time, you were completely mentally unprepared…"

Li Changshou reminded him a little. Jiu Wu thought for a while and suddenly realized something.

"Is that so?"

"That should be the case." Li Changshou sighed. "This matter stemmed from the painting I created. Although you're suffering from the after-effects of the Enchantment Spell, I'm responsible for it. Uncle-Master, if you trust me, let me try and see if I can salvage the situation." Jiu Wu's short and thick eyebrows furrowed. "How are you going to salvage this?"

Li Changshou smiled calmly and confidently.

After a while, Jiu Wu was full of energy. His eyes were filled with hope as he returned to the banquet at the Pill Chamber.

He seemed to have completely become a different person. He kept calling out to the few of them and asked them to drink and eat. The atmosphere quickly became lively…

His junior brother and two junior sisters were naturally confused.

Li Changshou did not return with Jiu Wu. Instead, he rubbed his forehead and returned to the Pill Chamber two hours later. He solemnly stuffed a treasure pouch into Jiu Wu's hand.

Jiu Wu asked softly, "How many?"

"Thirty-six volumes, the number of Heavenly Constellations."

"Very good! Thank you, Disciple-Nephew!" Jiu Wu grinned.

Seeing that Jiu Jiu was staring at the treasure pouch in her hand with a burning gaze, the short Daoist laughed and chided, "Don't stare at it for too long. This is not something a child like you can see!"

Then, Jiu Wu put away the treasure pouch solemnly and gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up. "Disciple-Nephew, you're still the most reliable!" "It's just a small matter. Uncle-Master, don't forget our previous agreement." "Of course! Come! I'll toast to you! If I succeed this time, I'll reward you greatly!"

"Uncle-Master, you don't have to be so polite. Just remember not to tell others."

The two of them spoke one after another, which was enough to whet the appetite of the people around them. However, no matter how the four of them tried to pry and find out, the two of them smiled and did not say anything.

Very quickly, Jiu Wu abandoned his junior brother and junior sister and left on a cloud in a hurry.

Jiu Lu'er and Jiu Qi also bade farewell and left.

After they left, Jiu Jiu stared at Li Changshou and kept bombarding him with questions. Li Changshou had no choice but to explain to his Little Aunt-Master.

"Uncle-Master Jiu Wu is experiencing some issues with his body, and his Yang is slightly damaged. Hence, I gave him some pills and created some paintings that would be pleasing to the eye."

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

However, just as Li Changshou finished speaking, Ling'e, who was cleaning the dishes, suddenly recalled something. Her hand trembled and she almost shattered the jade plates.

Li Changshou turned to look at her, and Ling'e immediately lowered her head to suppress her laughter. She became more agile. She recalled the rapid reproduction of the Jade Frogs…

In the residence of the Nine Jiu Immortals on the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Jiu Wu hurriedly flew back and plunged into his pavilion. He took out two treasure pouches. He took out a few bottles of pills from a treasure pouch, as well as a set of exquisite portraits. Li Changshou's advice surfaced in the short Daoist's mind.

"Uncle-Master, remember to take a look at the scroll first and try to forget the images in your mind. Then, try to take another Ambition Pill and see if it works. Remember, you can't eat too many pills. One pill can wake you up. Two pills will allow you to never get exhausted. Three pills will easily cause trouble."

Jiu Wu took a deep breath and whispered, "Disciple-Nephew Changshou, I'll leave my future in your hands!" With that said, he slowly and solemnly unrolled the scroll that was labeled 'One'. He saw two lines of a poem.

"When will spring and autumn end? How much do you know about my lingering dreams?"

Then, the painting was slowly unfolded. An indescribable painting was outlined with fine ink…

Jiu Wu gradually felt that something was amiss. He slowly looked at it, and a smile appeared on his lips…

An hour later, he unrolled all the paintings and consumed another pill. He remained seated in a daze.

This time, after a short while, Jiu Wu stood up.

His Adam's apple bobbed and his heart trembled. His eyes were red…

This!

This is the feeling that I had not felt in more than a decade!

"Shi Shi, Shi Shi! I'm fine now!"

The short Daoist quickly put away the pills, picked up the paintings, and left the pavilion in a hurry. He rushed towards his Dao partner's pavilion.

Half a month later.

Jiu Wu and Jiu Shi held hands and headed to the Little Qiong Peak together to thank Li Changshou. They said that Li Changshou had miraculously helped them and that he was a noble doctor… and so on.

After that, Ling'e laughed uncontrollably.

As the competition was approaching, Jiu Wu gave them an immortal treasure and two superior-grade Dharma treasures as a gift. Li Changshou did not refuse. He knew that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu served as an executive all year round and had a rich family background. Therefore, he accepted all three treasures and gave Uncle-Master Jiu Wu three jars of Poisonous Dragon Wine.

After consolidating the effects and replenishing his Primordial Energy, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu looked like he was a little weaker than he was more than half a month ago.

Li Changshou had originally thought that he would let that matter rest…

That immortal treasure was a short sword that Li Changshou had given to Ling'e for self-defense.

Li Changshou kept the two superior-grade Dharma treasures for himself. He thought about how he would use them for research when he studied the restrictions of refining later.

Li Changshou set a goal for Ling'e for the internal sect competition-Even if Ling'e took the initiative to expose her true cultivation level, she had to work hard to get into the top 108 places!

Only then would Ling'e receive more attention from the sect.

Li Changshou was now the trump card of Little Qiong Peak. It did not matter whether his junior sister hid it or not.

As long as Ling'e stayed outside, kept her promise, and didn't cause any trouble, everything would be alright. As for Li Changshou himself, he actually did not have many expectations for the internal sect competition. He just needed to make it to the top thirty-six. There was no point in competing

Days passed. The Little Spirit Trees that had been planted at the back of the mountain were growing healthily. The paper effigies had a continuous supply of tree sap.

The old trees that had worked hard and worked hard were also…

chopped off like firewood by Li Changshou.

After all, they knew too many things. It would be too cruel to kill after they became spirits.

They were currently still trees. It would be fine if they were cut. There would be no pain and they would die peacefully.

Little Aunt-Master had been behaving rather properly for the past few months. She seemed to be afraid of disturbing Li Changshou and Ling'e's cultivation.

The two of them might be the disciples with the most stable mentalities in the sect, before the internal sect competition.

When the two of them were free, they would discuss how to help their master overcome his sorrow. Lingle's suggestion was to find a Dao companion for their master. Li Changshou also agreed.

However, Li Changshou also said that they should let nature take its course. They could not rush it.

Just like that, another few months passed by in a hurry. The Immortal Du Sect's peaks would shoot out streams of light every day, and figures would appear endlessly. They were busy preparing for the competition.

This atmosphere was very similar to that of the mortal world during celebrations.

Li Changshou also began to teach Ling'e how to defend herself. He shared some simple tricks with his junior sister so that she could advance more easily.

Among those disciples, Ling'e was the last to enter the sect, but her cultivation level was not the worst.

There was still half a month before the competition. The Heaven-Breaking Peak had already begun to set up the venue. Most of the elders who had been in seclusion all year round had also woken up and were prepared to watch the grand event of the Immortal Du Sect that occurred once every 200 years…

That was not all. The Immortal Du Sect even sent out invitations to the outside world to invite the sects of the East Continent, which had a good relationship with them, as well as the factions under Ren School.

The aura of the Golden Immortal Sect Leader would occasionally appear once or twice.

Li Changshou also missed him. He wondered if the Sect Leader was still vomiting blood…

Originally, Li Changshou had thought that nothing would happen before the competition.

The people of the Immortal Downpour Peak seemed to have forgotten about the Perfected Immortal Kuai Si for the time being. The Immortal Du Sect's surroundings were already stable and no one was plotting against it.

On the Sea God Sect's side, their ferocious development had finally stabilized. The dragon race had also restrained themselves. They did not go head-on with the other factions. They only guarded the merit that they obtained.

Li Changshou had already accumulated quite a lot of merit from incense offerings. He could almost condense a… small fingernail of a Golden Body out of merit…

However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had gone to Little Qiong Peak on a cloud and with a bunch of gifts.

The short Daoist priest revealed a meaningful smile when he saw Li Changshou. "Changshou, do you still have any Ambition Pills?"

Li Changshou frowned and said, "Uncle-Master, you shouldn't be running out of those pills…"

"I haven't run out." Jiu Wu's expression was a little awkward. He set up a sound-proof barrier. "Well, I don't know why Master found out about me and Shi Shi."

He continued, "Master asked me what happened, so I explained briefly. I didn't say anything about you. I still remember the oath. However, when Master asked me about it at that time, two elders happened to be there. Then, an elder secretly looked for me…

"Changshou, you should know that if you cultivate for too long, your mental state will become dull. The elders also have Dao companions. Naturally, they would be worried about such matters. It's not good for me to turn them down, so I took out the Ambition Pill… Guess what? Heh! It really works!"

Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand.

He cultivated in Ren School in order to find backing to protect himself so that he could successfully obtain the Longevity Fruit!

I'm not here to operate a medicine hall and sell Ambition Pills. I'm not here to cooperate with some unreliable Great Daoist Masters and create trouble!

Jiu Wu smiled and said, "Changshou, can you still refine the Ambition Pill? What materials do you need? I'll bring them over immediately!"

"No." Li Changshou shook his head firmly. "These pills are very difficult to refine. There won't be more of them."

Uncle-Master Jiu Wu looked disappointed and he asked softly, "Really? I'll go back and tell the elders then. Sigh, they had prepared many gifts to thank you. The Mentor Elder had promised that when you become an immortal, you would be rewarded with the next volume of the Inaction Sutra…"

Li Changshou smiled and thought, Am I someone who wavers because of a material object?

Yes.

Li Changshou took out six porcelain bottles from his sleeve and said, "I'll give a single portion to each of the elders. I really don't have more."

After all, he had to leave some for the spiritual beasts in his spiritual beast enclosure…

Chapter 119 The Grand Competition Begins, The Two Sect Masters Support

As he approached the Immortal Sect Competition for disciples, Li Changshou could clearly sense that there was a hidden biasness in the sect.

"Elder Ge, do you have any extra Ambition Pills?"

"Sigh, Little Wu only gave me three pills. After using them, I feel that the effects are really not bad. It's as if I've found that feeling of having my heart race, from back then…" "This item is really not bad. We've tried many Spirit Pills and elixirs before. The Ambition Pill is the only thing that caused our Dao Hearts to stir again." "Not bad, not bad. It contains an extremely rare medicinal herb. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't understand it."

"I have to say that the young disciple who refined this pill is a genius…"

"We have to keep a disciple like him in the sect and focus on nurturing him…"

That was the conversation between two elders on the cloud, who were in the Heavenly Immortal realm. Li Changshou's Wind Speech Incantation caught it by chance.

The medicinal herb that they could not figure out should be the Love Stone that is more "unorthodox"…

Originally, Li Changshou only needed to release the pill formula, and that matter would have nothing to do with him.

However, the Ambition Pill was not only used to awaken the old Qi Refinement cultivators' passion for life. If someone used it to do evil things, he would have to be laden with karma.

That pill was different from the Poisonous Dragon Wine.

The Poisonous Dragon Wine would replenish the Primordial Energy and Yang of a Dao Body. It would use the Dao Body's reaction to affect one's actions.

However, the Ambitious Pill would directly affect one's mental state.

Now, the most important thing to do was to control the usage of those pills through Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

The refining method of the Ambition Pill was not complicated. The requirements for refining were not extreme. The difficult part was getting the "Love Stone".

Thus, it would not arouse any suspicion about Li Changshou's cultivation level.

At most, others would be amazed at how smart he was as a disciple. They would think that he was good at creating array formations and alchemy.

Originally, there was still half a month to go before the Immortal Sect Competition. As a young disciple, Li Changshou ought to be preparing to fight with his fellow disciples later.

Although it was useless, it was the only reasonable thing to do.

But now…

"Compete? What for? Will you gain more benefits from the sect competition, or from refining the Ambition Pills? Changshou, you are not selling pills. You are making outstanding contributions to the harmony and stability of the Immortal Du Sect! Do you need Love Gu? I'll go and get you 180 pairs. Just wait!"

After saying that, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu hurriedly left the Immortal Du Sect and rushed to the town to search for some Love Gu.

Li Changshou also reminded him that the Ambition Pill was a secret of Little Qiong Peak and the matters regarding the Love Gu and the Love Stone could not be spread around. Jiu Wu naturally agreed.

With the restrictions of the Great Dao oath, Jiu Wu would not fool around and put his long, remaining life on the line.

After Jiu Wu went out for six days, he really managed to obtain three pairs of Love Gu and secretly gave them to Li Changshou.

Li Changshou did not hide anything.

In front of Jiu Wu, Li Changshou fed the Love Gus with the Spirit-Solidifying Poison Herb and turned them into Love Stones. He then produced the secret pharmaceutical water that was necessary for refining the Ambition Pill and sealed it in the Pill Chamber…

However, the next batch of Ambition Pills would require at least 49 days to produce.

Since he already had new Love Stones, Li Changshou took out two-thirds… of his remaining stock.

He had to keep some for himself in case of emergencies. "Uncle-Master, I have an idea."

Li Changshou pondered for a while and slowly said, "Please pay more attention to these Ambition Pills from now on. You must record where every pill goes to. Even if the elders brought them around and gave them away as gifts, you must ask where the pills are being brought to. This thing can be used to stimulate one's Dao heart, and it could also be put to evil means. It is best to be careful. I can't let you work for nothing either, Uncle-Master. Uncle-Master, let's split the benefits from the elders equally between us. How about that?"

Jiu Wu smiled and said, "You're being so cautious. I don't know why you're so afraid! Let's not split them by half. That'd be unfair to you."

Li Changshou said seriously, "I am supplying the Ambition Pills while you are in charge of giving them to the elders, Uncle-Master. Both of these segments are equally important. The cost of these pills is just these pairs of Love Gu. Uncle-Master, you had also provided precious materials for refining the pills."

"Just as you said before, Uncle-Master, we're not selling pills. We are doing others a favor. It is reasonable for us to split the rewards from the elders equally between us. Uncle-Master, don't stand on ceremony with me."

"This…" Jiu Wu muttered to himself. When he saw Li Changshou's sincere gaze, he nodded and agreed.

Li Changshou reminded Jiu Wu not to mention anything about him when he was "offering" the pills. He also gave Jiu Wu a copy of the pill formula.

Jiu Wu felt a little uncomfortable for him to be treated so well by a disciple-nephew.

However… he, the "main distributor of Ambition Pills" of the Immortal Du Sect Ambition Pills was also very touched.

Thus, another batch of pills were "distributed" by Jiu Wu and landed in the hands of the elders who had Dao companions.

That resulted in a slightly abnormal phenomenon.

A few days later, the sect's internal competition began. Most of the Heaven Immortal Elders and the Perfected Immortal elders who were in charge of external affairs, gathered on a cloud in the sky.

There should have been more than a hundred old Daoists with white hair and youthful looks, who gave off immortal vibes.

However, the people who appeared were a group of young, middle-aged male immortals, as well as some beautiful and gentle female immortals…

As the disciples' horizons were broadened, the Sect Master of the Immortal Du Sect who appeared later almost thought that he had gone to the wrong sect.

It was half a day before the official start of the competition.

Qi Yuan finally walked out of his straw hut and looked at his two beloved disciples who were about to go on an expedition. His eyes were filled with emotions.

He had watched his two disciples grow up slowly, and he was about to send them to the Heaven-Breaking Peak for the "examination". Qi Yuan's heart stirred slightly. However, Qi Yuan took a closer look and realized that something was amiss.

His eldest disciple, Li Changshou, was naturally the same as usual. He was dressed in an ordinary long robe, and his aura was not outstanding. It made people subconsciously ignore him.

However, his younger disciple Ling'e was quite different that day.

She was dressed in a warm, yellow dress. The dress had an ordinary style, but it was not at all ordinary and the craftsmanship was rather intricate. More importantly, there were some immortal lights circulating on it. It looked like an Immortal Treasure.

In addition to the long dress, there was also a red hairpin on Ling'e's head, a bangle on her jade-like arm, a short sword in her hand, and a pair of unique-looking earrings on her earlobe. They were all immortal treasures that contained immortal light… In order to let his junior sister clinch a good ranking, Li Changshou equipped her with immortal treasures. Moreover, those Immortal Treasures were all gifts from the elders in the sect, which were handed to them by Uncle-Master Jiu Wu.

Although that matter should not have been publicized, the elders were not surprised by the fact that the Little Qiong Peak had so many treasures.

"Changshou," Qi Yuan looked at Li Changshou and asked softly, "Did you do something that went against your conscience?"

Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He handed a treasure pouch to his master.

"Master, take these treasures for self-defense. Don't worry, Master. These treasures were all bestowed by the elders."

Li Changshou then reported the matter regarding the Ambition Pills to his master. Qi Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"We're from the Ren School, so why would the matters regarding the Dao companions be like this… ah, forget it. Changshou, don't covet the elders' rewards when you offer the pills. The Immortal Du Sect has the protection of these elders. Only with the help of everyone will we be able to cultivate peacefully." Li Changshou nodded. He had to comply with his master. However, it was impossible for him to give the pills for free.

With the help of the Ambition Pills, Li Changshou's plan to transform the Little Qiong Peak could be completed hundreds of years earlier…

The bell on the Heaven-Breaking Peak rang. The two of them bid farewell to their master and rode a cloud towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

Along the way, many clouds flew out from the various peaks. Some were high, some were low, but all of them were rushing to the venue of the internal sect competition.

The venue was at the foot of Heaven-Breaking Peak. There was a slope and a valley there. At that moment, they had already set up the place.

The competition rules were not complicated. All the disciples drew lots for the technical fights. Every disciple had twelve chances and would go for twelve preliminary rounds. Based on the number of wins and losses in the twelve rounds, 360 people would advance to the next round, which was the number of Heavenly Cycles.

They kept repeating the same thing. 108 winners would be selected out of the 360 candidates, followed by 72 out of 108, and 36 out of 72…

As there were many disciples, there was no time limit for the competition. During the day, they would fight and during the night, they would listen to the elders in the sect who would talk about sutras.

From this, they could tell that it was indeed a grand event that was held once every two hundred years in the sect. It was comparable to the grand opening ceremony After Li Changshou and Ling'e arrived, they naturally found an inconspicuous corner to stay in.

Some of the high-profile peaks, such as Pill Tripod Peak and Immortal Downpour Peak, would also set up flags with the words 'Pill' and 'Lin' written on them respectively. The disciples at the peak would also gather together.

Some of them were more casual. The disciples gathered together with their close friends and often visited each other.

The bell rang nine times.

The white clouds rose and fell everywhere, and the mountain valley was filled with people.

The last time there were so many disciples gathered in one place, was when the Immortal Du Sect was in danger. However, the disciples were only fleeing for their lives and were in a sorry state back then.

Today, they were high-spirited and eager to try their hands. They had the demeanor of immortals of a great immortal sect.

Seeing this scene, Li Changshou also felt a little poetic. He recited in his heart,

The entire mountain is filled with beautiful young people. I can see all the beautiful young girls.

Looking up at the clouds, the elders are not simple.

Li Changshou felt a little helpless and speechless when he saw the elders who had gotten rid of their old appearances.

All of a sudden, a series of exclamations could be heard as dozens of white clouds flew over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

The first person was dressed in a fiery red dress. Her black hair was tied up in a simple ponytail. Her face was as cold as ice. With a huge sword on her back, she landed in the most eye-catching spot that was reserved for her.

She was the Head Disciple of the current generation, Youqin Xuanya.

Before Youqin Xuanya landed on the ground, she was searching for something in the crowd. After looking around for two rounds, she finally saw the duo— Li Changshou and Ling'e. The corners of her lips curled into a smile as she nodded slightly.

Instantly, numerous gazes gathered on Li Changshou and Ling'e. When Youqin Xuanya appeared, Li Changshou had already taken half a step back without a trace. Everyone's attention was drawn to Ling'e.

On the other hand, Ling'e graciously bowed and returned the gesture. She raised her clean chin slightly, and a gentle smile on her lips. She appeared rather confident…

She heard a voice transmission in her ear.

"Bear in mind that you will copy the Steadiness Sutra for a hundred times."

Ling'e immediately lowered her head and thought, My Dao Heart is bad. Why didn't I stop myself from comparing myself to Senior Sister Youqin just now? As the disciples gathered in the mountain valley, white clouds floated around them. Most of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect were gathered there. After a while, the bell rang again. A jade platform rose from the Immortal Du Hall, and dozens of Daoists sat on it.

The Empty Sect Leader… Ahem, Daoist Wuyou, the Deputy Sect Leader Exalted Zhong Yu, Exalted Wang Qing and the other Heaven Immortal realm elders accompanied dozens of guests who had arrived a few days earlier. They slowly walked over from the jade platform.

Li Changshou sensed the aura from the jade platform and frowned.

The Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island were there again.

Furthermore, there were two Golden Immortal realm experts who had come this time. They were emitting some oppression of Golden Immortals. Perhaps, they were one of the ten Heaven Monarchs.

Li Changshou had never seen them before. That was just his guess.

Previously, when the Blood Mosquito puppets attacked the Immortal Du Sect, three of them were Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island. Later on, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du came forward to investigate and discovered that the three of them had been controlled.

Today, the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Golden Ao Island had arrived to observe the ceremony again. They must have wanted to "bury the hatchet" with Ren School. There was a hint of apology in their attitudes.

That had nothing to do with him, a small disciple.

However, there were a few young disciples standing behind the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island. Li Changshou was very familiar with one of them…

At that moment, that young man also noticed Li Changshou.

He whispered a few words into the ear of a Golden Immortal from Jie School before he slipped off the jade platform and flew towards Li Changshou and Ling'e.

It was the disciple of Jie School, the Second Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, the Second Sect Master of the South Ocean Sea God Sect and the Great Azure Guardian Dragon — Ao Yi!

"Brother Changshou!" "Oh, Brother Yi, how have you been?" "Thanks to you, Brother Changshou, I've been well lately."

The two of them looked at each other and did not say anything.

According to the rules of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean, the simple conversation just now actually meant: "Greetings Sect Master!" "Second Sect Master, you're exempt from formalities. Everyone is watching."

"The Sea God Sect has been doing well recently. Sect Master, you don't have to worry about it. Just focus on your cultivation…"

So on and so forth…

Although the two of them were playing dumb and did not expose anything, it was not a secret that Ao Yi had been on good terms with Li Changshou in the Immortal Du Sect previously

However, Li Changshou felt a little uncomfortable at that moment.

On his left was his little junior sister who was as beautiful as a flower. Her Fairy Ranking in the sect had been rising rapidly. Occasionally, male disciples would look over at her.

On his right was a young man with a powerful background. He had an outstanding appearance and a pair of dragon horns on his head which made him look rather adorable. Occasionally, female disciples would also look at him.

Li Changshou, who was standing in the middle, was speechless.

He had a feeling that the peaceful, comfortable, and low-key daily cultivation routine that he had been in for eighty-nine years had disappeared.

Report chapter

Chapter 120 It's a Fight Between Two Experts

As a disciple of Jie School, it would not be reasonable for Ao Yi to always stand together with the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect.

Fortunately, this prince knows that I'm the merit assignee of a certain expert from Ren School, and hence I have to keep my identity a secret.

Li Changshou decided to persuade him via voice transmission. Ao Yi smiled and said, "After the internal sect competition, I will chat with you, Brother Changshou."

Then, Ao Yi flew back to the jade platform on his cloud and returned to Han Zhi and the other senior brothers…

Not long after, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou flew out of the jade platform on a cloud. The disciples and sect members below all held their breaths and focused. It was silent in the entire sect. Li Changshou sensed it carefully and realized that the Sect Leader… might still be injured. His aura was still unstable.

After a while, Ji Wuyou spoke and his voice was spread throughout the sect. *Coughs* "On this auspicious day, the young disciples of the Immortal Du Sect, who had been recruited for nearly 200 years, are all gathered here… *cough*… The competition in the sect today is not for you guys to be ranked. The ranking is only for the sake of supervising your cultivation. Even if you fall behind for a while, you might still be able to make it in the future. The invasion of the demons seems to be just right in front of us. I've already seen your determination to advance and retreat with your masters in the sect. I'm very heartened and pleased." "Now, the Three Sects' Meet is just around the corner. We, the members of Immortal Du Sect, which is founded by Master Perfected Du'e and is a faction of Ren School, have to attend the meet. In this internal sect competition, the ones who are ranked in the top thirty-six places, or have been recommended by the elders, can follow me to the Middle Continent…"

Li Changshou frowned slightly when he heard the Sect Leader's words.

The top thirty-six are going to the Three Sects' Meet?

Having had gained some experience during the previous Dragon Palace Demon-Sweeping Meet, Li Changshou naturally did not want to participate in such a grand event. He only wanted to hide in the mountains and cultivate peacefully.

It was especially so because Youqin Xuanya became more and more eye-catching as her cultivation level kept increasing. If one or two infatuated men who had lost their conscience were to appear, they would cry and clamor about wanting to fight him, the "ordinary friend of Junior Sister Youqin"… That would be terrible. At that kind of meeting, experts would gather. There might even be big shots who were at the same level as the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School.

His disguise might not be enough.

If he were to attract attention, it would be easy for things to escalate into something that he could not control…

Why don't I try to maintain my ranking at around the 37th place to the 40th?

Li Changshou was just about to make up his mind when he suddenly realized that many gazes were fixed on him.

He secretly checked the sources of those gazes.

They belonged to Elder Wan Linyun who was on the jade platform, a few outer sect elders who were familiar with the Hundred Mortal Hall, and a few Heavenly Immortal Elders who looked radiant and energetic.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

I'd better think of a way to continue improving the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra.

From the looks of it, I probably have to be there or be square. I can only prepare for the Three Sects' Meet in advance and deal with it carefully.

The internal sect competition was carried out according to the established procedures.

After the Sect Leader finished talking, he handed the time over to the Deputy Sect Leader, followed by the Grand Elder…

In the end, Elder Ge from the Hundred Mortal Hall appeared and announced the start of the meeting.

The two Grand Elders flew away from the jade platform. Their white hair danced in the wind, and their skinny bodies looked extraordinary.

Four long sleeves fluttered in the air and scattered a large amount of starlight. The scene was quite spectacular. The starlight turned into jade slips and slowly descended, allowing each disciple to hold one.

The jade slips were marked with serial numbers. The initial of a serial number would be one out of the ten Heavenly Stems, namely Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui 1. [Chinese system of ordinals, equivalent to the English alphabetical sequence of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.), followed by three numbers. Li Changshou's serial number was D026 while Ling'e's was H121.

It was surprisingly the same serial numbering system as the one Li Changshou used to mark the 'small' treasure pouches that he had refined.

If their jade slips were to light up later, they would have to fight.

Apart from their serial numbers, there were twelve blank squares on each of the jade slips. If they won later, one of the squares on each of their jade slips would light up.

Those jade slips were an entire set of Dharma treasures. It was not easy to refine them. Hence, some tiny words were written on the back-"Do not destroy the jade slip. Return it after the meet. If you lose it, you will be suspended for half a year."

Immediately, dozens of Perfected Immortal executives from the various sects entered the venue first and stood at their respective positions in the periphery. The two disciples who were fighting in the first round had already entered the arena with glowing jade slips and were waiting for their turn.

The disciples who were both near and far away began to sit down. Those who were more particular would take out meditation cushions and cushions. Those who were more casual would sit on the ground and have intimate contact with the ground.

"Senior Brother…"

Ling'e shouted softly from the side. She took out two meditation cushions and a bamboo basket from her jade bracelet that acted as a storage space. She even deliberately placed the meditation cushion five feet away.

Li Changshou said via voice transmission, "Your performance is not bad. We'll deduct the number of times you have to copy the Steadiness Sutra by fifty."

Lan Ling'e pursed her lips and muttered, "Stupid Senior Brother, I didn't do it for the sake of writing fewer copies of the sutra."

"We won't reduce the number of copies then."

"Hey, don't, don't…"

Li Changshou grinned. He lifted the front of his Daoist robe and sat down with his junior sister.

The two of them had just sat down and Ling'e had yet to take out the basket of snacks and cold tea that she had prepared during the past few days. A fair pair of hands reached out from behind and hugged the basket secretly… "Hehe, let me see what good food Ling'e has made again."

Jiu Jiu had already sneaked over and sat between the two of them. She lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket.

Immediately, numerous gazes were cast on them. Many disciples who had never seen Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu were shocked…

Li Changshou had already expected that. He remained calm and closed his eyes to rest.

Ling'e obediently addressed her as Aunt-Master. Since they were in front of so many people, she did not dare to argue with Jiu Jiu. She watched helplessly as the snacks that she had made painstakingly, filled Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu's sins… Jiu Jiu and Ling'e were seated together. In the eyes of the disciples, it was a pleasant and beautiful sight. When Jiu Jiu moved to Li Changshou's side and asked him how he wanted to fight later, the expressions of the disciples changed subtly.

"In terms of fighting, we can only adapt and change according to the situation," Li Changshou said as he chuckled.

Jiu Jiu did not ask further. She encouraged him and moved back to give Ling'e some pointers.

The technical fights were carried out one after another. Li Changshou was secretly observing with his immortal senses. He watched even though the battles between the Qi Refinement cultivators of the same generation were no longer useful for him. In the past, some of the moves used in fights seemed to be like precious guidance from immortals. However, they now looked like embarrassing dance moves… However, he took a few more glances, so he would be able to disguise himself more naturally. During the 79th match of the first round, Ling'e appeared. She held a few Immortal Treasures in her hands and displayed her cultivation level which was at the ninth stage of the Soul Formation realm, easily suppressing a fellow disciple who was in the Void Return realm.

Li Changshou was quite satisfied with Ling'e's performance. He took the initiative to send a voice transmission to secretly praise her.

Although Ling'e's face was expressionless, she was actually overjoyed.

Li Changshou continued to wait. He only had to fight his first match much later in the afternoon. During the 362th match, the jade slip in Li Changshou's hand trembled slightly, emitting a faint glow. The executive of the sect had already shouted the serial number of the jade slip in his hand. Li Changshou stood up and flew towards the arena.

At the same time, a disciple who stood under the flag of the Immortal Downpour Peak flew out and smiled at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou frowned slightly. After monitoring the Immortal Downpour Peak for so many years, he naturally knew who that person was. He was an immortal seedling from the Immortal Downpour Peak. He was ranked 19th in the sect and was at the second stage of the Dao Requital realm. He happened to be one stage ahead of Li Changshou. What a coincidence!

This should not be a coincidence. Previously, I had also encountered immortal seedlings whose ranks in the sect were close. It seemed that the elders had deliberately arranged for them to have an "evenly-matched" battle every hour.

Both of them landed on the flat ground that had been enhanced by the array formation. The two executives walked forward and inspected the jade slips in their hands. They also briefed the two of them about the rules of stopping at appropriate times.

Previously, there were already disciples who had accidentally injured their fellow disciples because of the intense battle.

After the two executives confirmed that there was no mistake, they retreated. Li Changshou and the disciple of the Immortal Forest Peak bowed to each other.

At that moment, Li Changshou heard a voice transmission.

"Senior Brother Li, why don't we give it a try today? There's no need to stop right after you've gained a point." Li Changshou smiled when he heard that. He nodded slightly and talismans flew out of his sleeve.

He would defend and counterattack! He would not admit defeat directly to the disciples of the Immortal Downpour Peak, but he would not win too effortlessly either. After all, their cultivation levels were similar.

The disciple of the Immortal Downpour Peak must have done his homework and studied how the top disciples in the sect fought previously before this.

Li Changshou and Ao Yi had sparred many years ago, and that was witnessed by most of the people in the sect. At that moment, the disciple of the Immortal Forest Peak raised three Dharma treasures. He held the Lightning-Attracting wooden sword and there was a plum blossom on his head. There was also a pearl floating around him that emitted an extraordinary aura. There were no blind spots on his body at all. Then, he flew into the air and pointed his wooden sword at Li Changshou.

Dozens of tiny lightning bolts were beaming, forming a lightning bird that had a wingspan of over ten feet long. It flew towards Li Changshou. Li Changshou tapped his feet lightly and his body flew backward. He quickly formed a seal with his hands. There were 72 yellow paper talismans above his head that condensed into Earth-Fire Talisman Array formations.

Fire pillars shot out from the talisman array formations and barely managed to strike the lightning birds to the point of shattering.

At that moment, Li Changshou's feet had already touched the ground again. His body quickly sank to the ground.

The disciple from the Immortal Downpour Peak sneered when he saw that. He started to activate his spells quickly with both hands and cast the Ice Seal Incantation. A layer of ice appeared on the ground and spread rapidly in all directions.

Indeed, he was prepared.

However, the Earth Fire Talisman Array formations were not affected at all. It summoned fire snakes that filled the sky and chased after the disciple of the Immortal Downpour Peak.

The pearl shone brightly. The red plum blossom above his head glistened and protected the disciple of the Immortal Forest Peak…

For a moment, sparks flew and lightning flashed.

However, Li Changshou had already disappeared without a trace. He had avoided letting the other party's immortal senses be locked on him.

At the beginning of the battle, most of the disciples were already watching with relish. It was indeed a battle between Qi Refinement cultivators who were in the Dao Requital realm.

Li Changshou hid underground at a steady pace, controlling the talisman array formations and making them disturb the enemy continuously. He decided to go for a more stable approach and fight with the disciple for a while. Then, he would win in a dangerous situation…

After a moment of the fierce battle, Li Changshou's talisman array formation had already been replaced with two talismans.

The treasure light around the Immortal Forest Peak disciples started to weaken.

Although the Dharma treasures were good, he had to expend his Dharma powers to keep it going. That person sacrificed three treasures at the same time, but he could not find any trace of Li Changshou. He was forced into a long battle…

Anyone could tell that although Li Changshou was not proud of his ability to escape through the Earth Escape technique, he was confident that he would win.

Gradually, the disciple of the Immortal Downpour Peak looked anxious. He suddenly said loudly and smugly, "Why? Senior Brother Li, is curling up in the soil the only thing you know to do? You have the same demeanor as Little Qiong Peak!"

Many disciples frowned and felt that the disciple of the Immortal Downpour Peak was being rude. Li Changshou's expression remained unchanged while he was underground. So what if he spoke fast?

Li Changshou would not hold it against a fellow disciple of the Dao Requital realm…

However, he had to consider how he should perform. After all, there were grudges between the two peaks.

Hence…

Without them even realizing, there were more talismans in the sky. The 72 talismans turned into 108 talismans. Then, they continued to grow and gradually grew to the number of 360, which was the number of Heavenly Cycles.

On the jade platform, Ao Yi raised his eyebrows. The power of the array formation…

He had experienced it before. It was quite good.

The 360 talismans unleashed their power at the same time. The endless heavenly flames rolled, and the fire pillars kept falling.

The Immortal Downpour Peak disciple blocked left and right, and the three Dharma treasures gradually weakened. They could not hold on any longer. He was about to give it his all and raise the pearl when he suddenly heard the sound of fire behind him.

When he looked up, he saw the surging heavenly flames above him, forming a huge foot that stomped down!

The expression of the disciple from the Immortal Downpour Peak changed. He tried his best to defend himself. Although he used his Dharma powers to protect himself, he was stomped on ferociously by a foot. His body fell downwards rapidly! Seeing that the person was about to fall to the ground, the executives at the side declared the name of the winner.

In a split second, something suddenly appeared on the ground. Its head was thick and thin, and its entire body was covered in sharp spikes. It easily pierced through the layer of ice and stuck out by half a foot, aiming at the figure that was falling from above…

The Spiked Mace!

It was the Spiked Mace, the Dharma artifact that the disciples seemed to have seen before!

The disciple from the Immortal Downpour Peak did not have much Dharma powers left. He was no longer able to use his Dharma treasures!

He did not know if the Spiked Mace had deliberately targeted the disciple or not, but it happened to be aimed at his derrière, which would not result in serious injury… Blood splattered three feet away! All the disciples held their breaths. The surrounding female disciples covered their eyes and did not dare to look. On the jade platform, Ao Yi could not help but break out in cold sweat… The Spiked Mace stopped at the sight of blood. It only gave the other party some punishment.

However, the disciple grunted and lay on the ground, while blood flowed out of his body. He rolled his eyes and fainted from anger. Li Changshou's figure slowly emerged from the side. His aura was weak. It was obvious that he had used up too much of his Dharma powers. His hands were empty, and the frightening Dharma artifact was nowhere to be found. Li Changshou looked at his opponent and frowned.

He gibed, "It was just a superficial wound just now. Why did you faint, Junior Brother? Uncle-Masters, please take a look!"

The two executives who had already flown up had gloomy expressions. Why did he faint… Tell me, why did he faint?! Very quickly, the two executives shouted and declared that the disciple of the Immortal Downpour Peak was only infuriated and did not have any serious issues. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

He sighed and said, "This is really a battle between two people of equal strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changshou turned around and rode his cloud back to his seat. Over there, Jiu Jiu was pulling Ling'e. The former was already laughing while the latter was trying her best to contain her amusement.
