Chapter 281 Unable to find the Treasure, Unintentionally Blowing Things Up
In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat in front of the Pill Furnace and looked at the few balls of fire that were flickering gently. A portion of his attention was focused on maneuvering the carriage-driving paper effigy and making it move across the mountains, and towards the South Continent. If it was during the opening of the Primordial World, there would be treasures everywhere in the Primordial World. One could pick up some Connate items with just two steps. After all, the entire Primordial World was born from the Connate Dao.
However, countless Yuan Meetings had already existed in the Primordial World. Wave after wave of tribulations descended. Connate lifeforms, dragons, phoenixes, magi, and humans had survived a few Great Eras…
Connate numinous treasures that had yet to be born were just like the Saint's. They were truly rare.
That's not right. There should be many collectors in the Primordial World. If he wanted to search for treasures, the first choice would be to go to the Middle Continent. The chances of encountering treasures were higher. However, Li Changshou did not want to randomly encounter opportunities for no reason.
For example, when he first left a good impression on Old Master Wan Linyun, he had carefully calculated and studied it. Then, he had done what Elder Wan Linyun liked and set up an ambush. Finally, he had obtained the Poison Sutra for Dao Protection.
Treasure-hunting was the same. He had to plan carefully.
Firstly, he wrote a copy of the book "The Rules of Treasure Hunting ". There were only three core points of the manual. He had to calculate the gains and losses of karma, consider the problem of conscience, and not embarrass Ren School. Secondly, he had to confirm the main goal. Li Changshou's main target this time was the treasure that Master Zhao was destined to obtain, which was in the top three on the Fiend rankings, the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, or the Treasurefall Coin.
Thirdly, he needed a perfect plan.
Before the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies set off, the entire treasure-hunting plan had been completed. They had also spent more than ten rolls of cloth.
Fortunately, he did not need to create new paintings of the Hundred Beauties and the Autumn Palace. It was okay for the cloth to be used up.
Apart from those three points, Li Changshou still had a fourth plan.
"Don't feel heartache even if you get nothing" was a self-consolation treatment.
This time, Li Changshou was not confident that he could find the copper coins. Before the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies set off, he was already prepared to return empty-handed. If he returned empty-handed, he would not suffer any karma. It would be a huge loss if he did not gain anything but was stained with karma instead! The Copper Coin of Treasurefall was a 'sample' made by a human emperor. It was the first two copper coins in the Primordial World. It had obtained the merit of the Heavenly Dao and was quite spiritual. Li Changshou had two copper coins in his hand, which had a deep relationship with the Copper Coin of Treasurefall. They were the first copper coins of the human race. There was some power of merit on them, and they could be considered the "children" of the copper coins.
Therefore, this time, it was also… the journey of the copper coins finding their mother!
Li Changshou really wanted to go to the Tushita Palace to pay his respects. He held his two copper coins and shouted at the Grand Supreme Elder.
"Grand Supreme Elder! Please pity these two children and let them move in with their parents!"
Ahem, just kidding. The copper coins could be used for divination, but their strongest effect was to obtain Connate numinous treasures.
The moment the copper coin shone brightly, it snatched away the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl during the God-Conferment Tribulation.
At that time, Zhao Gongming, who had emerged from the mountain because of the casualties of the ten Heavenly Lords, relied on the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl to sweep through the experts of Chan School. He then chased after the Deputy Sect Master of the Burning Lamp Sect and fought fiercely.
While fighting, Randeng fled to Wuyi Mountain and encountered two old men who were playing chess in a corner. The two old men took a closer look and realized that the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School had been beaten up. They immediately wanted to go forward and curry favor with him. They took out the Copper Coin of Treasurefall to deal with Zhao Gongming's Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.
The moment the copper coins appeared, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and the Dragon Binding Rope were snatched away by the coins. Zhao Gongming was caught off guard and could only stare.
Zhao Gongming hurriedly snatched it and whipped one of the two old men to death. However, because he had lost a precious treasure like the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, he was forced to retreat by Randeng.
From then on, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls landed in the hands of Randeng. Randeng probably had the confidence to betray the sect…
By the way, one of the two old men was called Xiao Sheng and the other was called Cao Bao. In the original God-Conferment story, they went to the Heavenly Courts and became Zhao Gongming's subordinates. They were also the Heavenly Venerate Zhaobao and Heavenly Venerate Nazhen.
Li Changshou had never heard of the interesting events in the Heavenly Courts. It should be very exciting. He also talked about searching for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.
If he wanted to find the copper coins, he had to first consider finding the original owners of the coins, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. Where is the Wuyi Mountain in the Primordial World?
Li Changshou checked a few copies of the "Records of the Middle Continent" from different sources, but he could not find any traces of the Wuyi Mountain. Instead, he found a few places in the South Continent called 'Wuyi Mountain'. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the main battlefield of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation should be in the South Continent. At that time, Zhao Gongming should have been chasing after Randeng. From this perspective, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao did not seem to have met by chance. That scene might have been the old Daoist priest Randeng's scheme. There was a problem that Li Changshou had to consider carefully. If he really obtained the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, what effect would it have on the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?
Zhao Gongming had been killed by Lu Ya's Seven Arrows Book. Although it had something to do with the copper coins, it did not have much to do with him.
At that time, Zhao Gongming had lost the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and borrowed the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors. He had also suppressed the Chan School. That was why the Seven Arrows Book had the chance to appear.
However, if he took away the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, he would miss the matter of Zhao Gongming going to the Three-Immortal Island to borrow treasures because he had lost the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.
Then… Fairy Yun Xiao might be able to lessen her involvement with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
However, as long as Master Zhao died, he would probably still get what he deserved. That problem was still very difficult to solve.
Seven days after the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies set off, they had already investigated a few places in the South Continent that were related to Wu Yi…
As Li Changshou had expected, that was the mortal world. There were no traces of Qi Refinement cultivators there.
To be safe, Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and carefully searched those places.
Li Changshou had also asked the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies to bring the two "prototype" copper coins that were used to prevent deductions. That would increase the chances of him encountering treasures. However, he still did not obtain anything in the South Continent. "Since that clue does not work, I can only start from the other clues."
Li Changshou sighed softly and skillfully controlled the fire. He experienced the wonders of the "pill formation" in his heart. He controlled the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigies and changed his path to the Middle Continent…
He did not know how far he was from the God-Conferment Tribulation.
Li Changshou did not see too many signs of the God-Conferment Tribulation. There was no major event like the 'Black Bird Life Merchant' in the South Continent.
In the Primordial World, time was mostly calculated by thousands of years.
Among the remaining options, there are three that are most reliable.
A, search for Cao Baosheng's whereabouts. B, search for rumors about Copper Coin of Treasurefall.
C, ask my Great Daoist Master to help me deduce the whereabouts of the Copper Coin of Treasurefall…
He had to do A and B, but C would be troublesome.
It was not safe for the Great Daoist Master to help him search for treasures.
It would easily make the Great Daoist Master feel that he was asking for treasures in a disguised manner. It would affect his image of an outstanding disciple that he had painstakingly established with the Great Daoist Master. Therefore, Li Changshou could only choose "Option D' when the first and second options failed.
"In the name of the Jade Emperor, I'll go to the Fire Cloud Cave to visit the ancestors of the human race and search for a way to get along with the Heavenly Courts. At the same time, I'll ask about the whereabouts of the Copper Coin of Treasurefall."
In the next half a year, Li Changshou's Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigy Team that had been searching everywhere in the Middle Continent.
In order to increase efficiency, more than twenty Treasure-seeking paper effigies split up. They used the name of the Primordial Spiritual Treasure Manual to collect all kinds of rumors and obtain all kinds of information. However, in the end, he only gathered a bunch of numinous treasures that he had never heard of. There was no news of the whereabouts of the Copper Coin of Treasurefall. On the other hand, the Primordial Spiritual Treasure Sutra looked like it was about to be published…
Cao Baosheng and Xiao Sheng were also untraceable. They did not know where to find them.
Although he had not done anything useless in the past six months, his gains still made Li Changshou feel a little depressed. It could not be helped. It was just that difficult to search for treasures these days. "Let's go to the Fire Cloud Cave." Without further delay, Li Changshou's Sea God paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts left the Sea God Residence and rode a cloud towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
At the mention of the Fire Cloud Cave, he had no choice but to mention the famous good old man of the Primordial World. The classic negative example of the Steadiness SutraAncestor Hong Yun! After Ancestor Hong Yun was ambushed by Kun Peng and reincarnated after being severely injured, the Fire Cloud Cave was left idle. Later on, it became the place where the Three Kings and Five Emperors of the human race went into seclusion after becoming Saints. The 'Saints' of the Three Kings and Five Emperors were the meaning of sages. They were naturally different from the Primordial Saints.
Li Changshou had heard that in his early years.
After the preaching of the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace, Hong Yun obtained a stream of Primordial Violet Qi. However, because Hong Yun of the Purple Cloud Palace had given up his seat to the two people of the Western Sect, Kun Peng had no choice but to give up his seat. Kun Peng had lost his opportunity to become a Saint, and Ancestor Red Cloud had been ambushed by the Demon Master Kun Peng.
When Ancestor Hong Yun was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he was fortunate enough to have the Three Pure Ones and Zhen Yuanzi stop Kun Peng. They allowed a wisp of Ancestor Hong Yun's soul to escape and go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to nurture it. The Primordial Violet Qi was retrieved by the Dao Ancestor. When the Lich and Demons were defeated, the human race would rise, the Three Kings would appear, the Five Emperors would return, and the human race would become the protagonist of the world.
According to rumors, Hong Yun had reincarnated into the Shennong. The Primordial Violet Qi that originally belonged to Hong Yun was divided into eight portions. The Three Kings and Five Emperors shared the opportunity to become Saints. The Three Emperors had a slightly larger share, while the Five Emperors had slightly lesser shares.
Therefore, the Three Kings and Five Emperors were not Saints, but they were close to Saints.
They were the cornerstones of the human race's destiny and also the "trump cards" of the human race. The non-human races would not appear easily in the face of death.
Now that the Heavenly Courts were in power, the Human Dao was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Courts. It was reasonable for them to use the Jade Emperor's name to visit the human sages in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Most importantly, that would not add any karma to Li Changshou. After all, he was only following orders.
The Jade Emperor was quite easy to fool…
Ahem, the Jade Emperor was reasonable. He completely agreed with Li Changshou's suggestion. The Jade Emperor wrote a letter and said that he was now the Heavenly Emperor who was in charge of the Three Realms. In the future, he would take care of the human race, who was the protagonist of the world. At the same time, he also hoped that the human race would be able to support the Heavenly Courts and carry out the sacrificial ceremony towards heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Courts. If the human race had any conflicts with the Heavenly Courts, they would communicate in time. With the letter and the Jade Emperor's instructions, Li Changshou asked General Dongmu to prepare a gift. Then, he left the Heavenly Courts and headed to the Fire Cloud Cave in the Middle Continent.
However, just as Li Changshou's Sea God paper effigy flew above the Middle Continent, a commotion alarmed his main body. Li Changshou diverted his attention and frowned slightly. He landed the Sea God paper effigy in a forest and used Earth Escape to hide near the earth meridian.
He focused most of his attention on the Little Qiong Peak and quickly left the Pill Chamber.
Bang
The bell on the Heaven-Breaking Peak rang. Three Golden Immortal auras surged into the sky, and figures flew up from the various peaks!
On Pill Tripod Peak, Elder Wan Linyun appeared with two elders.
Beside the spiritual beast enclosure of the Little Qiong Peak, Jiu Jiu hurriedly reminded Lingle to take care of Jiu Yushi. Then, she carried the huge gourd and rushed to the sect. The bell signified that they had encountered an enemy.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He rode a white cloud and slowly walked towards the sect.
The current situation was similar to what he had expected. 1,500 kilometers to the south of the Immortal Du Sect, a huge wooden ship broke through the sky. Colorful smoke floated around it. There were lanterns and colorful banners everywhere on the wooden ship. There were handsome men and women on it, but their dressing was…
To put it nicely, it was unpleasant. To put it bluntly, it was an eyesore.
Li Changshou looked at it carefully for a while and then criticized it in his heart.
Overly revealing. Those people were naturally the demons that Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had mentioned previously. Their background was extremely complicated and they had merit. Previously, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had mentioned the fox demon. Li Changshou had given Jiu Wu a plan. The plan was actually very simple. It was to let the Immortal Du Sect spread the news secretly and let the clan know that the fox demon was doing well. As she had opened a brothel in the South Continent and allowed some demons to absorb the Yang energy of mortals to cultivate, she was captured by the sect. Although the plan was simple, it was very effective.
He wanted to make sure that the fox demon was safe and sound so that the matter would not blow up. When the demons visited the Dao Sects of Ren School, they were told that the latter had not captured any fox demons. They would investigate step by step and eventually find the Immortal Du Sect. Before that batch of demons went to the Immortal Du Sect, they had also learned about the Immortal Du Sect. They knew that although the Immortal Du Sect was in the East Continent, it had once received the protection of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School. Therefore, the demons were very restrained. They stopped the wooden ship at the border of the immortal sect that was 1,000 kilometers away. They sent a few men and women who were in the Heaven Immortal realm forward and explained their intentions from afar.
They also gave Li Changshou the impression that they were just there to pay the ransom for the person that had been held captive.
The rest of the matter went quite smoothly. The Immortal Du Sect had already secretly checked on the fox demon and realized that she was cultivating in the underground cage. Her cultivation level was much higher than when she had first been locked up. One of the executives of the Punishment Hall had informed the fox demon in advance. Soon, her clansmen would come to pick her up.
In front of the sect gate, when the demons walked forward, they presented gifts and said some good words.
The elders of the Immortal Du Sect pondered for a while. They were in a dilemma. They made the demons swear that the fox demon would not do anything evil in the future.
After a while, they walked through the venue. Under the watchful eyes of many disciples of the Immortal Du Sect, the fox demon was released from the Earth Meridian Cage by a few executives…
The fox demon seemed to have a powerful background. When the demons saw her, they cheered. Many of the demons even cried tears of joy. Originally, that matter should have come to an end. However, to everyone's surprise… "Can I join the Immortal Du Sect?" The fox demon asked softly. Her gaze was pure and clear, and she emitted a clear aura. There was not much demonic aura around her. Li Changshou, who was hiding in the crowd, suddenly had a bad premonition. "Well?"
An elder frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist, the Immortal Du Sect is a disciple of Ren School. We only accept human disciples." "I can be the spiritual beast that protects the mountain. I'm also willing to be the maidservant sweeping the ground."
The fox demon that had just been released spoke with a hint of urgency. Under the puzzled gazes of her clansmen, she took a few steps forward on the cloud, her phoenix-like eyes revealing a hint of pleading. "If not, please let me meet the Daoist priest who captured me back then. I have something to say to him."
Report chapter
Chapter 282 Shou… Shou'er
Daoist priest, which Daoist priest?
In front of the sect gate, a female demon in a long green dress stood quietly. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and she exuded a gentle aura from inside out.
However, when she said that, not only were the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect confused, but the "demons with complicated backgrounds" behind her also listened carefully.
What happened?
Something is wrong! As one of the parties involved, Li Changshou's thoughts raced through his mind. He immediately suspected that the female demon had been controlled.
Li Changshou naturally would not forget about the fox demon.
Back then, Daoist Kuai Si had schemed against his master and deliberately lured him to the mortal world's city. When Li Changshou had gone to meet his master, he had captured the demon in the city.
After the matter, he realized that the fox demon had taken in the assassin, the centipede demon, whom Daoist Kuai Si had bribed. It could be considered a lucky strike.
Due to the merits the fox demon had, the Immortal Du Sect did not kill her. Instead, they suppressed her under the desolate mountain outside the sect.
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced carefully.
When he pretended to be his master and captured the demoness with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, she was a manager of a brothel. She held a jade cigarette stick, had a tall figure, and enchanting curves. She was clearly the manager of a brothel who was extremely domineering.
After that, Li Changshou had interacted with the female demon a few times. She had also revealed her cunning and sinister nature as a demon.
When she was first captured, she even took the opportunity to use her Enchantment Spell to plot against Uncle-Master Jiu Wu. Li Changshou had no choice but to offer the old version of 'Aged Beauties' to the sect. Why is it… like this today? Is it a pretense?
Do they want to blow things up? Li Changshou hid in the crowd and stared at the fox demon carefully. Soon, he realized that the other party was either really good at acting or because of some reason…
Maybe she had fallen in love with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu or Master, whom I was disguised as!
How is that possible?
There was a moment of silence in the sect. The people inside and outside the sect were in an awkward situation. Only the fox demon seemed to be eager and did not think that she was wrong.
"What happened?"
On the other side of the sect, Jiu Shi, who was ranked fourth among the Nine Jiu Immortals, suddenly spoke.
Immediately, numerous gazes gathered over. First, they landed on the dignified, elegant, and beautiful Jiu Shi. Then, they shifted their gazes down to the short Daoist who was five and a half feet tall…
The group of immortals from the Immortal Du Sect looked enlightened.
So that's what happened…
There was killing intent! Jiu Wu shuddered subconsciously and slapped his thigh anxiously.
"That's not it! That's not it! I have nothing to do with this demoness. At that time, it was indeed me and Junior Brother Qi Yuan who captured her. It was because she had instigated the demons in the South Continent to commit evil. However, after I captured her, I suppressed her underground. I only went to check on her condition once or twice and did not say anything! The elders and the other elders from the Punishment Hall can vouch for me!"
Upon hearing Jiu Wu's yelling, a few white-haired elders at the side looked up at the sky with their hands behind their backs, maintaining their composure. Jiu Shi gritted her teeth. However, with so many people around, she also cared about her Dao companion's face and endured her anger.
At that moment, the fox demon muttered again, "Qi Yuan… Can I meet this Daoist priest Qi Yuan again? I have something to say to him."
Jiu Wu heaved a sigh of relief. He almost kowtowed to the vixen and thanked her for not killing him.
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect, who wanted to watch the show, looked at each other.
If the fox demon had taken a liking to the executive of the sect, Jiu Wu, it would be fine. It could be explained.
Jiu Wu's master was a Golden Immortal. It was almost certain that Jiu Wu would become a Heaven Immortal. He knew how to handle matters well and was good at socializing. Moreover, if one were to neglect his age, he would be a handsome young man. In terms of size, he could be considered unique. However, Qi Yuan was the only Turbid Immortal in the Immortal Du Sect… This is not Ren School. It is obviously not Ren School!
"Is Junior Brother Qi Yuan so charming?"
"Impressive, impressive."
"Should I call Disciple-Nephew Qi Yuan over?"
Many immortals from the Immortal Du Sect spoke one after another. Most of them were curious.
Jiu Wu hurriedly looked at Li Changshou. The two of them winked at each other. Beep-beep "Changshou, what did you do!?!"
Ta-ta… "You mean, what did my master do…"
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! "Do you really think I'm that stupid? Wasn't it you who pretended to be your master that day? You have to be careful. My tenth junior sister has been living at your Little Qiong Peak since she joined the sect!"
Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. He could only give Jiu Wu a helpless look and ask him to calm down.
Now, he could only delay. No matter what the demoness' goal was, he could not let things continue developing.
"Ahem!"
Li Changshou cleared his throat and flew slightly higher in the crowd. He smiled awkwardly at the sect gate and said,
"Senior… My master is in seclusion. Why don't you return with your clansmen first and talk about this after my master comes out of seclusion?"
The demoness blinked and immediately revealed a loving and benevolent smile.
"Are you his disciple?"
An elder in the sect immediately introduced, "This is Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. He is Qi Yuan's eldest disciple."
The demoness took half a step forward and said happily, "Then, can I call you Shouler? The disciples your master accepts are all extraordinary."
Li Changshou was speechless. He retracted his right hand into his sleeve and grabbed a carving knife!
Yes! Immediately!
How much karma would he have to bear if he killed those demons on the spot!?!
At that moment, one of the Heaven Immortal realm demons behind the demoness finally stood up and asked, "Little Lan, what's wrong with you? What kind of curse did these people cast?"
"How dare you!"
An elder of the Immortal Du Sect, who had a bad temper, widened his eyes and scolded, "The Immortal Du Sect is a faction of Ren School. We pass down the Grand Pure One's Dao. Why would we use such a trick?
If she did not have merit to protect her, she would have been indebted to the human race. How could I allow her to cause trouble in the mortal world!?!"
"What a joke." A male demon said coldly, "You clearly saw my little sister's merit protecting her body. Killing her will increase the negative karma! You actually said it in such a dignified manner! You human cultivators really dare to do anything for your pride!"
Dong!
Elder Wan Linyun slowly walked forward with his bronze walking stick. The two elders in front of him immediately made way for him.
The old man held onto his walking stick and took two steps out of thin air. He walked out of the sect and swept his listless eyes across the few people. "I'll do it."
In a split second, the demons looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. They hid the demoness named 'Little Lan' behind them and looked at Wan Linyun warily. The two demons with weaker cultivation levels were trembling!
On the wooden ship in the distance, figures soared into the sky. The pressure of a Golden Immortal realm demon swept across the sky and swept towards the Immortal Du Sect.
However, the pressure was a little mottled. Clearly, the Dao Realm was not pure enough. The pressure of the three Golden Immortal experts in the Immortal Du Sect erupted and pressed towards the demons.
A male demon shouted, "Quickly go and invite our old ancestor!"
The situation changed drastically. The immortals gathered at the gate of the Immortal Du Sect were about to attack!
They would strike first and gain the upper hand later!
Li Changshou frowned slightly. If they fought like that, it would be disadvantageous to the Immortal Du Sect…
He was about to send a voice transmission to Elder Wan Linyun to persuade him, but before he could say anything, the fox demon, Little Lan, who had just been released, suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, "No, don't!"
Her shout was like the cry of a cuckoo. It made both parties, who had already taken their positions and were rubbing their palms together, stop their actions!
The fox girl sighed softly. Under the protection of her clansmen, her slender and beautiful legs bent. She knelt in the air and kowtowed to the 'Immortal Du Sect.
"This matter started because of me. I secretly left the clan and was reluctant to leave the mortal world. I also allowed the few spirits that were attached to me to cause trouble. I was willing to be imprisoned by the Immortal Du Sect for another three hundred years. However, can you let me see him… I have already been bewitched by him. I no longer have any other wishes in my life. I just want to be together with him.
I'm willing to make a Great Dao oath to prove my love."
Her words…
If the people of Chan School heard them, they would definitely shout, "Demon, die!"
If the disciples of Jie School heard it, she would probably be pulled into the group by a group of men and women.
However, today, her words were heard by the disciples of Ren School…
The disciples of Ren School were famous for having Dao companions!
The wretchedness and infatuation in the fox demon's words moved half of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect.
Jiu Wu pondered for a while and stood up at the crucial moment.
"You've only met my Junior Brother Qi Yuan a few times. How could you have such an obsession? If you can't explain it, I will not let you see my Junior Brother Qi Yuan today."
That question hit the nail on the head. The demons quickly asked a few questions. At that moment, the vixen sighed softly and fell to the ground.
She muttered with listless eyes, "That day, I found an opportunity for this Daoist priest and Daoist Priest Qi Yuan to plot against me using my race's bloodline mystical ability, Enchantment Spell. The Daoist priest who spoke was extremely ugly, but Daoist Priest Qi Yuan was unmoved. He only used a painting to break my Enchantment Spell…"
As the fox girl talked about the past, the surroundings were quiet. He could only hear her slowly recount her story.
Beside Jiu Wu, a slender hand reached over without batting an eyelid. It grabbed his ear and pulled hard.
"Ss…"
The short Daoist cried.
Jiu Shi shouted, "Hmph! You've shown your ugly side! Go back and explain yourself to me!"
Jiu Wu felt awkward and cupped his hands to apologize.
Then, he heard the vixen changing her words…
"After locking me underground, I still have a grudge against Daoist Priest Qi Yuan. After some time, he suddenly appeared and asked me to swear that he would not take revenge on anyone in the Immortal Du Sect because of that matter. At that time, I naturally agreed but I was angry and used all my charm on him. However, I only received a slightly sarcastic smile. It was that smile that made me feel indignant. I would then cultivate my mystical abilities painstakingly. I must make this man kneel in front of me! That was what I thought back then."
In the crowd, Li Changshou, who had already retreated to the corner, nodded secretly.
He was right.
A female immortal in the sect could not help but ask, "What happened after that?"
"After that…"
The vixen smiled bitterly and continued to explain. "Just as my mystical abilities improved, he quickly appeared in front of me again. In the dark underground prison, there were a few layers of restrictions between us. At that time, he smiled at me. I remember very clearly that his smile was relaxed and comfortable. He asked me if I could use my Enchantment Spell to test if his Dao heart was sturdy. I thought that it was ridiculous, but I took the opportunity to attack. I used all my strength to activate my mystical abilities to confuse him, but he… he!"
A demoness was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that he has gone berserk!?!"
The fox girl smiled in a daze. "He actually took a book slip outside the cage and kept writing and drawing. He even gave me some pointers on my Enchantment Spell. I still haven't forgotten how he looked when he lowered his head and wrote… At that time, I thought, "How can there be such a man in the world who doesn't have any lust for me?"
In the corner, Li Changshou was speechless.
Yes, he really felt lustful at that time. It was just that his series of 'Hundred Beauties' paintings was more powerful. What the vixen said were all the things that happened during the refinement of the Flame of Heart Pill.
Li Changshou had considered everything at that time. However, he really did not expect that the fox demon had made a mistake..
What should he do?
Kill her. I can only do that, right?
Back then, in order to study the Heart Flame Immortal Sense Poison Pill, he had used his master's image to meet the demon fox under his master's permission. He had gone there a few times in the past few months, but he had not discovered anything unusual about the demon fox…
"I'm really silly, I really am." There were already stars in the fox demon Lan'er's listless eyes… "Now, I only feel that the few times I met him were the best times of my life. However, at that time, I felt a little indignant. Every time, I would use all my strength to deal with him using the Enchantment Spell, but I never revealed my feelings to him. Since then, he has never come to see me again. Every time I close my eyes, I would see his back view when he left. Year after year, unknowingly, he has become the only one in my heart. There is no one else or anything else… Now, I'm out."
The fox demon Lan'er slowly stood up and walked past her clansmen. Although her voice was gentle, her gaze was extremely firm.
"According to the rules of my clan, if I belong to someone, no one will stop me from leaving. Today, I'm standing in front of the Immortal Du Sect. I only hope to see him again. Even if he kills me with one strike, I will not have any resentment. I only hope that he will leave a wisp of my soul behind. I will go to the underworld and beg them to let me reincarnate into the woman whom Daoist Priest Qi Yuan likes."
"Alright!"
An old woman from the demon race, who had rushed over at some point in time, shouted softly when she heard that. She could not help but wipe her tears. "According to the rules of the clan, the Qingqiu Fox Clan will fully support Little Lan in finding her marriage! Marriage is a priceless treasure. Why do you have to forcefully break a pair of lovers up?! Listen up, Immortal Du Sect. Little Lan's grandmother's third aunt is the Exalted Immortal who served the Saint in the palace. Our Little Lan's background is not inferior to the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect. Does he agree or not? Let him appear first and give a straightforward answer!"
Hence, Li Changshou silently put away his carving knife.
Outside the sect, a group of demons and demonesses gathered. They stood behind the vixen Little Lan, and worked together to help!
The immortals of the Immortal Du Sect were stunned.
After living for so many years, it was the first time the immortals had dealt with such a situation…
Kill?
It seemed that she did not dare to make a move. The Qing Qiu Clan had a good reputation in the Primordial World. Moreover, the vixen was extremely infatuated. Her only request was to meet Qi Yuan.
Should I let them see me?
However, he felt that it was as if the Immortal Du Sect had succumbed to the demons. They were enemies with the demons to begin with. Although the Qing Qiu Clan had a complicated background and had merit to protect them, their foundation was definitely not that clean.
"Why? Do you, the Qing Qiu Clan, dare to snatch someone from my Immortal Du Sect?"
He heard another cold laugh. A figure flew over from the Immortal Du Sect and landed outside the sect.
She was dressed in a light blue dress, and her long hair flowed down her back. She was naturally Little Qiong Peak's Grandmaster, Jiang Lin'er.
Jiang Lin'er used her immortal senses to listen for a long time. She could not help but jump out and walk to the vixen with her hands behind her back. In front of the many demons, she circled around the vixen twice…
"Tsk tsk, your figure is not bad… Wow, you're quite evil, but you're not as good as my Little Jiu. You're called Little Lan? What's your full name?"
The vixen frowned slightly and whispered, "You are…"
"Unfettered Lin Jiang, Jiang Lin'er!" Jiang Lin'er patted her chest and said, "My husband is a Golden Immortal of our sect. My grand-disciple is extraordinary, but that's not important. Tsk, tsk. I'm the master of Daoist Priest Qi Yuan whom you're looking for. When he was young, I fed him feces and urine. Ahem, I raised him. How about that?"
The vixen blinked and bowed. "Little Lan greets Master."
"Don't kneel so quickly." Jiang Lin'er chuckled and scanned the crowd. She only saw the Dao hoop on Li Changshou's head. "This matter must have been a misunderstanding. How about this? Come with me to the Little Qiong Peak. I'll make things clear for you. How about that?"
"I will listen to you, Master!"
The vixen became excited and her voice became gentler.
Report chapter
Chapter 283 Ah, It's Loneliness…
"Disciple, what's wrong? Why are you stopping me?"
They were in Qi Yuan's straw hut beside the Little Qiong Peak.
As soon as Qi Yuan opened his eyes during his cultivation, a paper effigy emerged from his sleeve and transformed into him. He raised his hand and pointed, causing his entire body to be enveloped by light.
Qi Yuan… was immediately immobilized.
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Master, there's no time to say anything. Sit down first. Grandmaster is on the way to bring that fox demon over!
Well, I still have to ask, do you… have any thoughts about the fox demon?"
In Qi Yuan's old eyes, there was a look of shock and confusion. He looked at Li Changshou and did not know what to say.
"Changshou, what's going on?"
Li Changshou sighed softly. He quickly tapped his hands on his master's body and explained.
To put it simply, it was because he had used his master's image with his master's permission, to provoke a beautiful demon fox which he could not just kill while saying "Slaying the demon with immortal power!"…
Beautiful fox demon.
Qi Yuan pondered for a while and seemed to have understood something. He said emotionally, "Changshou, if you really can't do it, I'll help you!"
"Master, don't worry." Li Changshou smiled and said, "I have a way to sever her thoughts!"
Li Changshou paused and said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to take a look at this demoness?"
"Why should I look at her!?!"
Qi Yuan glared and said anxiously, "Don't spout nonsense! What if someone hears you?
I don't want my clean reputation to be destroyed today!"
"Alright, I'm relieved." Li Changshou took two steps back and bowed to his master. "Master, stay in this straw hut later. You must not go out. Let me deal with everything!"
"Go, go, ah!" He sighed.
Qi Yuan waved his hand. "I really don't know how capable you are now. What are you doing outside every day?"
Li Changshou smiled and condensed a water mirror. He looked at his paper effigy.
His face was not considered strange, but his eyes were bright and energetic. His silver hair was also quite energetic-looking. He looked exactly the same as he did after Jiu Yushi had arrived in the sect.
Then, Li Changshou borrowed his master's horsetail whisk and fused the aura on it with the paper effigy. After carefully checking it twice, he opened the door and carried the horsetail whisk out of the straw hut.
Qi Yuan, who was sitting on the meditation cushion, pondered for a while. Then, he saw the door close on its own. Layers of array formations were activated…
He was protected by his disciple.
Qi Yuan casually pointed at the water mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. Immediately, he saw the face… of an unfamiliar-looking and beautiful woman…
Her vision turned black and he almost fainted from anger.
On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou's 'Human' paper effigy walked to the side of the lake. He stood quietly under the willow tree and looked at the figures flying towards the sect.
Although only the demoness from the demon clan was there, how could the immortals in the sect be that careless?
We're talking about demons!
Extremely fierce ones!
Therefore, apart from the necessary forces that were meant to guard the gate of the sect, the elders and experts of the various peaks were all staring at the vixen who was only at the Perfected Immortal realm… Ahem, they were just wary. The demoness had self-destructed and injured the Golden Immortal's Dao companion, Jiang Lin'er. She was definitely not there to cultivate the Eight Trigrams Technique!
Li Changshou shook his head when he saw that. There was no difference whether he did it in front of the immortals in the sect or not.
His current attainments in the mystical ability of creating and using paper effigies could naturally deceive the other Qi Refinement cultivators in the sect, except the Golden Immortals.
At the same time, Li Changshou had already begun to operate simultaneously. He activated the spare 'Sea God' paper effigy hidden in the Sea God's Residence of the Heavenly Courts.
By severing the karma, he could use numbers.
Outside the Sea God's Residence in the Heavenly Courts, the kind-looking old Sea God left the mansion on a cloud.
He carried his horsetail whisk and rushed to the Hall of Marriage!
Li Changshou had just left on a cloud when the Heavenly Generals in front of the residence looked at each other.
"When did the Sea God come back?"
"I don't know. I didn't see him just now. Why is he still appearing and disappearing unpredictably?"
"Be careful. If we can see through the Sea God, will he still be the Sea God?"
The Heavenly Generals felt that it made sense They kept quiet and looked in the direction that Li Changshou had left.
When the 'Sea God' paper effigy was halfway through his journey, the Little Qiong Peak was already filled with the shadows of the immortals in the sect.
Fortunately, Jiang Lin'er said, "Fellow disciples, please watch from outside. It's not appropriate for so many people to observe this matter at close proximity."
Son
After saying that, he brought the vixen, Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, and Jiu Jiu to the lake.
When Little Lan saw the old Daoist priest standing under the willow tree, she was first shocked. Then, she could not wait and rushed forward eagerly.
However, her legs turned into jelly, and her eyes revealed a hint of weakness. She could not help but bite her plump red lips, making her look even more pitiful.
However, Jiang Lin'er stopped a thousand feet away with Jiu Wu and the other two. She directly sent a voice transmission to the old Daoist priest under the tree…
"Are you Second Disciple or Changshou?"
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He knew that he could not hide it from Jiang Lin'er. After all, his Grandmaster knew his master too well and had been nourishing him since he was young.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Jiang Lin'er via his immortal senses. "I am Disciple Changshou. This matter has nothing to do with my master. I borrowed Master's figure to make things easier for me."
Jiang Lin'er immediately sneered and blinked at the old Daoist priest under the tree. She seemed to be saying, "You shall settle it yourself."
Following that, Jiang Lin'er pointed at "Qi Yuan" who was under the tree.
"Isn't he here? You may go over."
"Yes," the vixen said gently and slowly floated down.
Her enchanting figure was very charming, just like Liu Yiyi and the ripples in the lake.
When she was about 100 feet away from the old Daoist priest she adored, the vixen's voice trembled slightly. She said softly, "I…"
Li Changshou pulled a long face and said, "Why do you want to see me, Fellow Daoist?"
The vixen seemed to want to say all kinds of things at once, but when the words reached her throat, she only hummed softly and turned them into…
"Daoist Priest, do you still remember me?" Li Changshou frowned slightly when he heard that. He controlled the changes in his expression and looked puzzled. Li Changshou said, "I remember that I don't have a deep relationship with you. I captured you to protect the Dao of humans.
I went to the foot of the mountain to meet you, Fellow Daoist. At that time, I was trying to figure out a cultivation technique. I also gave you Spirit Pills and some miraculous medicine as a thank-you gift.
Fellow Daoist, why did you cause such a huge commotion today? Are you deliberately targeting me?" "Why would I target you?" The vixen took a few steps forward in a hurry.
Li Changshou swept his horsetail whisk and a wisp of immortal power with turbid Qi appeared beside the vixen's feet.
"Fellow Daoist, please respect yourself. I have cultivated for a thousand years. I will not allow you to ruin my reputation!"
"I-I…"
The vixen's breathing was a little rapid. Her snow-white skin was dyed red. However, she calmed down and said gently, "I just wanted to see you once."
Li Changshou flung his horsetail whisk. "Alright, you've seen me now. I won't send you off."
Little Lan was stunned. Many immortals outside the Little Qiong Peak either sent voice transmissions or praised him in their heads.
They thought, This Junior Brother Qi Yuan (Senior Brother/Disciple-Nephew) is actually such a strong and upright person. It is a pity that he can only become a Turbid Immortal.
The vixen said pitifully, "Can you bear to let me go without saying a word to me?"
"Fellow Daoist, you have already said forty-nine words to me. How did I not give you a chance to speak?"
Li Changshou frowned and swept his sleeve across. A short table and two chairs appeared on the ground.
"Come, sit. I will not only give you a chance to speak, but I will also give you a chance to speak to me properly. However, if you don't agree with me, please talk less. Let's make things clear today so that we won't cause any misunderstandings in the future."
At that moment, Li Changshou sat down. The vixen hesitated for a while and sat opposite Li Changshou aggrievedly, as if she was a little wife who had been angered.
At that moment, the 'Sea God' paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts had just managed to see Elder Moon's Marriage Hall. Therefore, Li Changshou was not in a hurry to speak under the willow tree.
The time was not right.
Not far away, Ling'e walked forward with a teapot and teacup. She called out to her master and served them tea.
That was naturally arranged by Li Changshou via voice transmission.
At that moment, Li Changshou took the opportunity to smile kindly at Ling'e and said, "Disciple, it's been hard on you. Go and cultivate."
Although Ling'e did not know that her senior brother was disguised as her master, her master was usually just as kind to her. She immediately bowed and acknowledged him before turning around and leaving.
Li Changshou smiled and nodded. Then, he shifted his gaze to the vixen. His expression instantly became very serious.
"Fellow Daoist, just say what you want to say. I have so many fellow disciples watching. I really don't want to be alone with you."
The vixen felt her heart ache, but she knew that it was just her wishful thinking.
She sighed softly. "Daoist Priest, do you lack a servant beside you? I can do anything but I just want to stay by your side."
This time, Li Changshou fell silent. He raised his teacup but did not drink any tea. He frowned.
He seemed to be tempted by that suggestion…
As Li Changshou "hesitated", the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect had their interests piqued. They were fully focused on listening to the conversation, afraid that they would miss any important details…
However, Li Changshou was only focused on talking to Elder Moon. He stopped that paper effigy from talking.
If anything went wrong and he connected to the wrong paper effigy, it would be troublesome!
In the Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou's 'Sea God' paper effigy rushed over. He did not give Elder Moon a chance to go out and welcome him. When he arrived, he grabbed Elder Moon's arm.
"Elder Moon, I have something to ask of you!"
"Sea God, don't be anxious. Sea God, don't be anxious." Elder Moon was shocked.
Who is the Sea God?
He was a popular person favored by the Jade Emperor. Even if he wanted to marry ten beautiful fairies, he, Elder Moon, would have to make arrangements for them!
At that moment, Elder Moon said seriously, "Sea God, feel free to give me any instructions!"
However, Li Changshou's following words made Elder Moon's expression turn even more solemn.
"To be honest, other than the Sea God, I also have another identity. I'm a member of Ren School. I even received the orders from the Great Daoist Master to handle some small matters of Ren School."
Elder Moon immediately nodded and said, "I've heard, I've heard."
Li Changshou replied solemnly, "I'm here to ask Elder Moon for help this time not as the Sea God, but as an immortal of Ren School. Elder Moon, according to my previous deductions, there is a small calamity brewing in the Ren School's Immortal Du Sect. I sent my incarnation to investigate. However, I happened to discover that a demoness had fallen in love with someone from the Immortal Du Sect. That demoness is actually from Qing Qiu. At this moment, there are still many demons from Qing Qiu gathering at the Immortal Du Sect. If this continues, I'm afraid they are going to use force on that disciple of the Immortal Du Sect!"
"Huh?!"
Elder Moon's eyes widened. "There's such a thing!?!"
Li Changshou said seriously, "That's right. After thinking about it, I realized I can't do anything about it. If a man fell in love with a woman at first sight and asked his clansmen to rush over to force the woman into complying, that would be evil. He would be beaten up and scolded.
However, once a woman takes the initiative to confess to a man, most people would probably question the man first by saying that he was the one who flirted with her in the first place.
Therefore, I can't deal with this matter directly. I hurriedly came here to look for you, Elder Moon. I'd like to ask you to sever this ill-fate!"
"Alright! I will definitely help you!"
"There's no time to lose. They are about to start fighting!"
"Let's go to the rear hall!" Elder Moon raised his hand and shook his sleeve. He grabbed a pair of golden scissors and rushed to the rear hall. Li Changshou took the opportunity to follow him.
Elder Moon was not careless at all. He immediately pushed the stars to attract the dust and summoned the two groups of clay figurines.
On the left was the Qing Qiu Clan. There were many clay figurines. Most of them were humanoid and had sharp fox ears.
In general, the red strings of the Qing Qiu Clan were in a 'loose' state. Many of them extended in all directions.
A red string extended from it and moved to the marriage clay figurines of the Immortal Du Sect on the right. Following the red string, he immediately found the clay figurine that looked somewhat like Qi Yuan.
The red string wrapped around Qi Yuan, but there was no corresponding red string on Qi Yuan's clay figurine…
There was not even a thin thread. "That's it!"
Elder Moon was quick-witted and took a step forward. His beard and hair fluttered!
With a crack, the red string was cut off!
However, the red string trembled slightly and began to grow on its own again. It continued to move towards Qi Yuan's clay figurine… "Another infatuated person?" Elder Moon snorted and calculated in his heart. He could not lose face in front of the Sea God. That was his duty!
Elder Moon immediately said, "Hmph! Since ancient times, those who are infatuated have always been promiscuous!"
The golden scissors continued to snap. When Li Changshou saw that, he pondered for a while and took the initiative to attack on the main battlefield!
On Little Qiong Peak, under the willow tree by the lake, "Qi Yuan", who had been silent all this while, suddenly chuckled.
Due to the fact that the red string had been cut, Little Lan, who was feeling inexplicably vexed, immediately said, "Daoist Priest, what's wrong?"
"I'm waiting for you to speak. Why aren't you saying anything?" The vixen, Little Lan, was stunned. She quickly said, "I thought you were thinking about it…"
"Think about what asking you to stay behind? Don't think too much."
Li Changshou smiled. The sound of the Moon Elder's golden scissors clicking echoed in his ears. His expression became much more relaxed as he faced the vixen.
Li Changshou said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you're not interested in me, are you?" The fox girl looked anxious. "Daoist priest, my heart is filled with you!"
"Is this considered falling in love?"
Li Changshou's eyes emitted a threatening glow. He stared at the vixen, as if he could see through her defenses. Li Changshou said, "Have you ever asked yourself what you truly think? Do you really understand your feelings?"
"I naturally asked…"
The fox girl's voice weakened as she tried to sense her Dao heart. However, she realized that those figures had become a little faint!
"No, actually, you didn't," Li Changshou said calmly. "The simplest example is that if the person who saw you in the underground prison was not me, but anyone from the Immortal Du Sect. As long as someone has found a way to deal with your Enchantment Spell in advance and make you feel defeated, you will place his shadow in your heart. After the passage of time, you will have the illusion that you have engraved this person in your heart. Is that so?
"Well…"
The fox girl parted her red lips but could not say anything. She hurriedly stood up and was at a loss.
Li Changshou sighed.
"Fellow Daoist, if I were someone else, you would only be attracted to another person. How can you say that you have feelings for me?
The most basic and most precious thing about the relationship between a man and a woman is being loyal to only one Dao companion. Liking a person is not just being obsessed with them. Liking a person means that that person is someone who cannot be replaced in your heart.
Clearly, that's not the case for you."
The vixen's eyes were a little dazed as she muttered, "I didn't…"
"The Earth Meridian Prison is dark and gloomy. You were alone in it. Without the flattery of the little demons beside you, and without the bustling scene of the mortal world, you only want to find someone to rely on. You are also at the Perfected Immortal realm. You can experience it yourself. Is that so?
Fellow Daoist, you're not interested in me, Qi Yuan."
The fox girl took two steps back. Her eyes were filled with confusion. She muttered softly, "I'm not attracted to Daoist Priest Qi Yuan. I'm attracted to…"
"It's loneliness."
Little Lan's slender legs gave way and she fell onto the grass.
Li Changshou sighed and said, "Don't give your loyalty to loneliness anymore. I only said that to you because you're from the Qing Qiu Clan. Fellow Daoist, please leave."
After saying that, Li Changshou flicked his sleeve and walked towards Lingle's straw hut, leaving behind the confused vixen and the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect who were deep in thought.
That was not the end.
At the gate of the Immortal Du Sect, the paper effigy, who had not followed Jiang Lin'er to the Little Qiong Peak previously, flew out of the sect on a cloud and headed towards the old woman who should be the leader of the Qing Qiu Demon Clan.
The internal problem had been resolved, and the external pressure had to be removed in time.
A moment later, in the Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts, Elder Moon raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He looked at the red string that had finally stopped growing and heaved a sigh of relief.
Elder Moon turned around and saw the Sea God sizing up the Immortal Du Sect's Clay Figurine Array with interest…
"Sea God, is everything alright now?"
"Everything is fine for now." Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your help, Elder Moon! However… why are there three red strings surrounding this clay figurine?"
"Oh?" Elder Moon walked over and took a look. He smiled and said, "This is the marriage clay figurine of my young friend Changshou from the Immortal Du Sect. When I first saw it, it was already like this. Little friend Changshou is also a good person. The Sea God paid a lot of attention to him. He is definitely a talent among the disciples of Ren School!"
When Li Changshou heard that, he smiled and shook his head.
Elder Moon hurriedly asked, "Sea God, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart, but he only said, "There better not be any more."
Report chapter
Chapter 284 Entering the Fire Cloud Cave For The First Time, The Snow Fox Questions Her True Feelings
When the fox girl left the Immortal Du Sect, her eyes were still filled with some confusion.
Li Changshou looked at the vixen's back and weighed the consequences of the matter in his heart. He thought about what else he could do.
Karma was something that could not be severed. It would definitely cause chaos and cause trouble in the future.
Yes, I should sever my karma with the vixen. Although my methods are a little too extreme, it is still better than letting this matter continue developing.
The Qing Qiu Clan…
Li Changshou had actually seen the records of that clan in ancient books. They had been quite famous since ancient times.
They were a group of demons who were more romantic. They did not fight or vie with each other. They only wanted to write romantic and moving stories.
It was undoubtedly because… there were many mighty figures in the Primordial World. Only the wanderers would leave their names.
The Qing Qiu Clan should not be related to the three demons in the Xuanyuan Tomb. There are so many fox demons in the world. It can't be that simple.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and thought about the problem that he had been thinking about previously.
The Xuanyuan Tomb was a tomb built by the descendants of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan after he returned to the Fire Cloud Cave. It was once occupied by the demons during the God-Conferment Tribulation. According to the God-Conferment story that Li Changshou knew, when the God-Conferment Tribulation began, Goddess Nuwa felt offended by the Emperor of Shang, so she used the Demon-Sealing Banner to gather all the demons. In the end, she chose the three demons in the Xuanyuan Tomb— the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Lute Spirit, and the Nine-Headed Chicken Spirit. She dispersed King Zhou of Shang's energy and made the Shang Nation collapse faster.
The nine-tailed demon fox had possessed the body of the daughter of the Ji Prefecture's Marquis Su, Su Daji. She had written a classic love story with Di Xin, which was 'The Only Favored Concubine In The Harem'… Ahem, they had caused so many "good ministers" in the Shang Nation to be implicated, leaving behind endless infamy in the future!
So, what's the name of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the story?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and could not help but laugh.
It would be a waste of effort to think about that. Even if he found the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in advance, he would not be able to do anything, nor would he do anything. It was something that had nothing to do with him.
I should think about how I should communicate with the big shots when I meet the ancestors of the human race in the Fire Cloud Cave later. I should also ask about the whereabouts of the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.
Li Changshou's 'main body' paper effigy stood in front of the mountain gate and watched the demons fly away.
On the Little Qiong Peak, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect had already dispersed. In the next few days, there would be various conflicts between Dao companions in the mountain.
In order to stabilize the atmosphere in the sect, Li Changshou had already sent a voice transmission to Jiu Wu, asking him to spread the news within the sect.
For example…
If the elders in the sect were to encounter a question like "Did you get together with me back then because of the loneliness of cultivation?", they would use a formatted answer.
"I, I didn't miss you because I was lonely when we were apart. I only felt lonely because I missed you."
Li Changshou did not dare to guarantee if it would be useful, but it was better than stammering and not knowing how to deal with the questions…
In the straw hut, Jiang Lin'er did not expose the identity. She discussed with Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, and Jiu Jiu about whether she was lonely or loved.
Finally, Jiang Lin'er was afraid that Li Changshou would expose himself. She took the initiative to ask Qi Yuan to go back and calm down. After thinking about it for a few hours, she left the Little Qiong Peak with the Jiu Immortals.
Li Changshou opened the outer layer isolation array and heaved a sigh of relief while sitting on the meditation cushion. Ling'e, who was at the side, muttered to herself. Her face was filled with seriousness.
Why did she see the expression that her senior brother often had, on her master's face?
Li Changshou scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and carefully sensed with his spiritual senses. Then, he restored his paper effigy to its paper effigy form and shouted, "Help me put away this paper effigy."
Ling'e blinked and pondered for a while. She understood what had happened.
"Senior Brother, you helped Master reject such a beautiful wife. Will Master blame you? That vixen just now is quite infatuated with him!"
Li Changshou's voice sounded from the paper effigy. "Nonsense. How can you call her Master's wife? How much karma is this? Master has never seen her before! Copy the Steadiness Sutra three hundred times."
"Oh." Ling'e grimaced and quickly put the paper effigy away into her sleeve pouch.
As soon as she put away the paper effigy, Li Changshou flew back to the Little Qiong Peak from the sect.
Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed in front of Ling'e's straw hut. He sat on his personal round chair and continued to think about the possible problems that might happen in the future.
Man proposes, God disposes…
"Senior Brother…"
Ling'e moved her little head over from the side. There was a solemn expression on her pretty face. She was less than a foot away from Li Changshou's face.
"Huh?"
Ling'e blushed, but she said seriously, "I'm not lonely at all! I will copy the Steadiness Sutra three hundred more times. In total, I will copy it six hundred times. I will accept it myself!" Then, she smiled smugly and looked at her senior brother provocatively.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
I haven't dealt with her in three years and she's gotten so smug!
At that moment, the immortal power barrier around his master's straw hut was retracted by Li Changshou. The door of the straw hut was immediately pulled open.
A beautiful woman ran out with a horsetail whisk and shouted angrily, "You traitor! Come here!"
Li Changshou quickly pointed at his master and activated the multi-layered isolation array that had been added after the renovation of the Little Qiong Peak.
With a "peng" sound, the beautiful woman transformed into Qi Yuan's appearance. She was angry and her beard was trembling. She raised her horsetail whisk and rushed in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou pulled Ling'e and skillfully… hid behind his junior sister.
"Master, I have settled the matter!"
"What did you settle?" Qi Yuan glared and scolded, "Don't give your loyalty to loneliness? Where did you learn these twisted logic from!?!"
"It's all because you taught me well, Master."
Li Changshou laughed and hurriedly said, "Master, I was just dealing with the root cause of the problem and severing her thoughts."
Qi Yuan said angrily, "If you had done anything wrong, just admit it. Can't you give her an explanation and compensate her?" "Master, this matter cannot be resolved just by compensating. It will only become more chaotic. Moreover, I did not do anything to her. There was nothing to apologize for. She was just thinking too much… Master, don't be angry. It will hurt your liver, ahem, your Dao base, it will hurt your Dao base." "Today, I will!"
Qi Yuan raised his horsetail whisk and was about to hit Li Changshou. Li Changshou used Ling'e as the axis and dodged using the method of the Qin Emperor circling the pillar. Ling'e could not help but laugh continuously.
Suddenly, Li Changshou thought of Jiu Yushi and Xiong Lingli who were in the straw hut next door. He thought for a while and decided to help his master.
"Ah!"
Li Changshou's feet swayed and he immediately collapsed outside the door.
The old Daoist priest, Qi Yuan, raised his horsetail whisk and rushed forward. He whipped Li Changshou's buttocks that he had been hitting since Li Changshou was young. He even lectured, "You have to be upright and kind! How did I teach you!?!" Ling'e covered her mouth and chuckled. Based on her observation, her Senior Brother was still a paper effigy. Naturally, she would not feel the pinch. However, Ling'e also thought of Little Aunt-Master Yu Shi, who had come to the lake with her. She immediately understood something
She cleared her throat and pounced forward. She spread her hands open and faced Qi Yuan.
"Master, if you want to hit me, hit me!"
Qi Yuan could not bring his horsetail whisk down. He stayed still for a few moments and could only sigh.
"Ah! Forget it! Changshou, you have to remember that no matter how capable you are, you can't be arrogant. No matter how powerful your mystical abilities are, you can't be arrogant! The demons are not kind either. Don't get too involved with them!"
Crack!
Li Changshou, who was lying on the ground, pressed his palms together above his head. "I will follow Master's instructions!"
Ling'e hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master, for not beating me up!"
"I'm going into seclusion to cultivate." Qi Yuan shook his head. He held his horsetail whisk and floated back to his straw hut, leaving behind the view of his back that was filled with vicissitudes and stories.
In front of the window sill of the straw hut next door, two heads popped out and sized them up. They also shrank back weakly.
"Senior Sister Xiong, Senior Brother Qi Yuan is so fierce…"
"Yushi, that's the Peak Leader of our Little Qiong Peak. He's not fierce. He's dignified."
"Yes, I feel that Senior Brother Qi Yuan is a very good person." Upon hearing that, Ling'e, who had just helped her senior brother stand up, looked at him.
The senior brother raised his eyebrows and the junior sister blinked. Everything was silent.
"Senior Brother, do you want me to apply medicine for you?"
"There's no need. I can't absorb it either. Ahem, I'll go back to the Pill Chamber to cultivate in seclusion."
Li Changshou sighed softly and made a white cloud. He lay on it and floated back to the Pill Chamber, not bothering to salvage his image.
After resolving that troublesome matter, Li Changshou reorganized his thoughts and stopped all the paper effigies. His attention returned to the 'Sea God' paper effigy that was hidden underground.
Later, he had to prepare a gift of gratitude for Elder Moon.
In the future, he should not use his master's image to cause trouble. It would be safer to use some fabricated characters. Li Changshou used the Earth Escape technique to burrow out of the ground. He placed his attention on the paper effigy that was in the form of the Sea God and continued walking towards the Fire Cloud Cave.
The Fire Cloud Cave was hidden somewhere in the Middle Continent. It did not appear in front of people, just like the Three-Immortal Island.
He knew that the Three-Immortal Island was in the fog above the sea. If he did not have a way to enter, he would not be able to find any traces.
When Li Changshou first wanted to find the Fire Cloud Cave, he calculated with his fingers and knew that that place… could not be deduced with his limited deduction skills.
However, he now had the Heavenly Courts to back him up. It was not difficult for him to find out where the Fire Cloud Cave was.
He rode a cloud and traversed thousands of mountains and rivers.
After traveling for half a day, a vast lake appeared in front of him.
Li Changshou flew towards the sky of the Great Swamp. He turned around in the sky and fell towards the Great Swamp. Just as his body was about to land on the surface of the water, his immortal senses saw a wisp of smoke condense in the air.
Hence, he stopped and rode a cloud towards the cloud… That was the detailed method of finding the Fire Cloud Cave in the Heavenly Courts' records.
Li Changshou flew to the cloud and felt that there were mysterious Dao runes in front of him. He heard the music played by string instruments in his ears, as if there was a hidden paradise ahead.
There seemed to be an invisible door in the clouds, causing Li Changshou to stop in his tracks.
Li Changshou said loudly, "The Heavenly Courts' envoy is here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to pay a visit to our ancestors."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle in his heart. An Eight Trigrams disc appeared in front of him out of thin air. The eight circular rings on it rotated gently, and the lines carved on it flickered with dim light.
I can enter after it's undone.
Li Changshou bowed and formed the Water-Fire Taiji with his left hand. He slowly pushed the Taiji Painting forward and placed it in the center of the Eight Trigrams disc.
Then, Yin and Yang circulated. The Eight Trigrams Disc began to flicker with light. Li Changshou added in his heart, I'm a disciple of Ren School, may I enter? The invisible door immediately disappeared, and a cave appeared in front of him. The cave was very deep, but it was brightly lit.
Li Changshou bowed again and walked into the cave with the generous gift that General Dongmu had prepared from the Heavenly Courts' treasure vault.
His heart was still filled with vigilance, and he was prepared to destroy himself.
After taking sixty-four steps forward, his vision cleared up. There was still a huge lake in front of him. It seemed to be the body of water that he had just seen, and also the mirror image of the body of water.
Above the lake, there were clearly two large regions. There were seven immortal mountains floating on the left. The scenery there was different, and most of them were quiet.
On the right, there were continuous mountain ranges connected to each other. There were palaces and buildings everywhere, and the sounds of women laughing, playing zithers, and playing the flute could be heard…
It was obvious that the left side was where the ancestors of the human race lived in seclusion, while the right side was the family member area of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan. Shennong, who was one of the three emperors, may gain more merit for leading the human race to fighting hard in the battle, preserving the human race's fire seedlings, and leading Fuxi.
However, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was clearly the winner in life among the "retired human emperors "! Has the three-thousand-member harem been included in the Fire Cloud Cave?
Everyone gets along with each other and they're laughing continuously. Did they become partners who could live forever together and be happy and carefree?
This is too powerful.
Li Changshou praised in his heart. He did not dare to criticize the ancestors. He held the gift and looked around, not knowing which peak to go to.
At that moment, Li Changshou saw a boat in the corner of the Great Swamp. His eyes lit up and he flew over on a cloud. From afar, he could see a burly man in a straw raincoat fishing on the boat. However, when he was a little closer, he heard the burly man… sobbing softly. "Senior, Senior?" Li Changshou shouted from afar. The burly man, who was fishing, quickly wiped his face and turned around to look at Li Changshou. He revealed a dignified, square-shaped face which had an unhappy expression.
"Who are you? What are you doing? How did you get in? Why are you shouting? This is the Fire Cloud Cave!"
Li Changshou was at a loss for words when he heard the burly man's deep voice, which was mixed with a heavy South Continent accent.
Am I really just lonely?
On the huge wooden ship, the vixen was lying on the bed in a quiet room with a blank expression. Six snow-white fox tails appeared behind her, swaying gently.
She was recalling and thinking.
No, this should not be loneliness!
The vixen sat up with her snow-white arms supporting her body. She looked strangely excited.
She raised her hand and waved at the desk beside her. She grabbed a brush and a piece of cloth out of thin air and laid them on the bed. Then, she picked up the brush and started writing
My Qingqiu Clan has entered the Dao through love. Could it be that so many seniors and elders in the clan are just lonely?
No, perhaps I'm tempted by loneliness, but I do have you in my heart. Daoist Priest Qi Yuan…
Her thoughts raced as her slender fingers swayed. An image appeared on the cloth.
In the dark dungeon, an old Daoist priest stood quietly and looked at the snow-white demon fox in the dungeon.
The vixen picked up her brush and wrote 'Qi Yuan' on the side. Then, she slowly laid down on the side of the painting as if she had lost all her strength. She used her demonic power to protect the painting and gently touched it with her slender fingers.
After an hour, the vixen slowly stood up and sat cross-legged. The painting floated in front of her and swayed gently. The person inside seemed to have come alive. A wisp of Dao runes appeared around the fox
girl.
She muttered softly, "I actually don't understand why I'm attracted to you. Perhaps it's the backlash from my Enchantment Spell, or perhaps it's because of the gentleness you unintentionally showed me. However, I will figure out my true intentions and feelings. If the answer is in the Dao, I will go to the Dao to search for it. You are right. If I can't even understand my own intentions, I can't refute your theory about me being lonely. I, Qingqiu Xinlan, will then not be worthy of cultivating any Dao of Love. However, you are wrong, Daoist Priest… Love is not loneliness. Love is sincerity."
As she mumbled, the Dao runes on her body kept rising. A blurry figure appeared behind her. That figure looked up at the void as if it was questioning something.
Gradually, after an unknown period of time, the Dao runes filled the room and alarmed her clansmen.
The seventh snow-white fox tail quietly appeared behind her…
Daoist Priest Qi Yuan, I will definitely look for you again.

Chapter 285 Care for the Peaceful Life of the Retired Human Emperor
"Senior, I'm a disciple of Ren School. I'm currently the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts. I received the Jade Emperor's orders to come to the Fire Cloud Cave to visit the human sages."
"A disciple of Ren School, the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts? Ahem!"
The burly man, who had been a little careless and unrestrained just now, immediately sat up when he heard that.
Even though he was only wearing a straw raincoat, he still looked mighty without being angry. His square-shaped face was even more domineering
Li Changshou stared at the burly man. A towering mountain seemed to have slowly risen in front of him. It stood tall on the lake and looked mighty!
Which retired Human Emperor is this?
The person said in a low voice, "Do you have a token of the Heavenly Courts?"
"Of course." Li Changshou immediately took out the Jade Emperor's personal letter and held it in his hand. There was the image of a golden-scaled dragon slowly swimming on it. A mysterious Dao rune flowed out.
The burly man nodded slowly and said, "He is indeed the Heavenly Emperor who follows the Heavenly Dao and walks the Three Realms."
He changed the topic and said, "Since you call yourself a disciple of Ren School, you should also be a human. Why did you send your incarnation here?"
"I don't dare to deceive you, Senior." Li Changshou sighed and said, "I don't dare to move around in the Primordial World. I'm only serving the Heavenly Courts as an incarnation."
"Then how are you going to prove your identity? This place is not a place that you can enter just because you picked up a letter." The burly man frowned and said, "I don't mind. If I disturb the rest of the seniors, how are you going to take responsibility?"
Seniors…
I seem to have seen this burly man's appearance on an ancient sheepskin scroll…
A thought flashed across Li Changshou's mind. He roughly guessed the burly man's identity and smiled. "Senior, could it be that you are His Majesty, Yu the Great, who established the Nine Continents and pushed the human race to prosperity?"
The burly man's expression remained the same. He nodded calmly and said, "My seniority and merit are the lowest here. Don't be nonsensical and address me with such an honorific. Now, I'm no longer an emperor. I'm just an old man in the mountains."
Li Changshou smiled and cupped his hands. "It's my mistake. Senior, you can verify the power of my Heavenly Courts' Deity Position."
As he spoke, Li Changshou's sleeve fluttered gently. Layers of water appeared under his feet. Then, schools of fish gathered from all directions.
Most of the fish there were spiritual fish. The scales on their bodies were colorful. They swam under the water and dazzled the eyes of the people.
The burly man's eyes lit up and he picked up the fishing rod at the side.
Li Changshou smiled and raised his hand. The spiritual fish rushed towards the wooden boat and surrounded the burly man.
"Hahaha! You, the Sea God, can still manage the fish in the lake… Ahem!"
The burly man was instantly in a good mood. His accent appeared again, but he coughed dryly and held his fishing rod.
"Your Sea God is quite impressive. However, this is the lake. You can actually use your divine power. How is that so?"
The true nature of the retired Human Emperor was rather personable.
Li Changshou pondered for a while when he heard that. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly reacted. Perhaps the Emperor, Yu the Great, was testing him.
Then, he said in a warm voice, "The rivers gather and turn into raindrops and dew, all rivers return to the sea. Although I can only use my divine power in the sea, most of the water paths in the world are connected to the sea. I can also project my divine power here."
"What a great saying, the rivers gather and turn into raindrops and dew, all rivers return to the sea!"
The burly man praised. When he saw that the fishing rod was sinking, he quickly raised it. A spiritual fish broke out of the water and was caught by the burly man. He stuffed it into the fish basket at the side.
Then, the burly man let out a comfortable sigh. He looked at the school of spiritual fish in the lake and waved his hand slightly.
Li Changshou's divine power dissipated. The spiritual fish shook their tails and quickly disappeared under the lake…
The burly man smiled and squinted. "As expected of a legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, and the most valued minister of the Lingxiao Hall in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes, your phrase 'all rivers return to the sea' is just right for me. It's enough to show your intelligence. Come and sit. I'm here on orders to wait for you. I'll ask you three questions."
Li Changshou did not dare to be careless.
There was a giant in Fire Cloud Cave who was in charge of deduction and divination. He was Fuxi. He might really be able to predict the future.
It was said that Fuxi was the reincarnation of the elder brother of the Goddess of Nuwa. He replaced Suiren and led the human race to gradually stabilize and prosper. Suiren had led the human race to fight against the heavens and the earth all his life. He had struggled and survived between the magi and demons.
On the other hand, Fuxi focused a portion of his energy on consolidating the human race's own destiny. It could be considered as a form of enlightenment for the human race and perfecting the cultivation techniques of the human race…
The three kings and five emperors of the Primordial World were all at the end of the ancient times. They led the human race to rise one step at a time. Every human emperor's "specialization" was different, and their contributions were also different.
The great world was not formed easily. Li Changshou calmly rode a cloud forward and sat at the end of the wooden boat.
Da Yu sized up Li Changshou and smiled. "If you can't answer these three questions, leave the gifts and letters behind today and return on your own. The seniors should not see you."
He was reminding Li Changshou. As long as he answered the questions well, the few human Emperors would be able to obtain opportunities…
Li Changshou's expression turned serious. He cupped his hands and said seriously, "Please ask me the questions that you have, Emperor."
"Firstly, you are a minister valued by the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Courts. You are also from the human race. If the Heavenly Emperor brings disaster to the human race, how will you persuade the Heavenly Emperor to retract his orders?"
Li Changshou pondered for a while…
Are you going to go big immediately? No matter how he answered that question, it was difficult to answer it perfectly. It was just like the question of how to be loyal and devoted.
Yu the Great squinted and smiled. He waited quietly for Li Changshou's reply and did not rush him.
Li Changshou sat there and thought for a long time. Various thoughts surfaced in his mind.
After a while, Li Changshou said seriously, "I won't."
The corners of Da Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He chided with a smile, "I asked you how you would persuade him, but you said that you wouldn't. You didn't answer my question!"
e
Li Changshou praised in his heart. Although the Human Emperor had retired, he was not foolish at all. It was not easy to mislead him.
"Senior, I can't persuade him nor should I persuade him. Please listen to me in detail."
"Speak." Da Yu smiled and said, "No matter what you say, if you can't make sense, you will not be able to pass today's test. To be honest, when I was a human emperor, I had seen many people who were eloquent and could defend themselves well. Don't have the intention to defend yourself."
"I wouldn't dare." Li Changshou nodded with a smile and began… a debate.
The answer to that question was beyond the question.
Basic answer:
"The Heavenly Dao does not operate with the will of the human race. Humans should learn to get along with nature. Humans are also a part of the world. Moreover, the years of calamity and prosperity are only a matter of time. Humans will live and eventually die, and they will enjoy good fortune. The Heavenly Dao is stable, and it cannot be easily broken."
Next, it could be extended slightly.
"Humans cannot decide whether a natural disaster will descend, but humans can fight against it and use human strength to cause it."
Then, he dug deeper into his thoughts.
"The human race is currently the only main character in the world. We should always be vigilant, self-reliant, and independent. We should use the natural disasters to train ourselves and avoid being replaced by other races."
Finally, he pointed out the philosophy of Ren School
"The laws of the world, the laws of nature. Naturally, it is not about only being gentle, but also cruel and violent. The human race should learn to respect Heaven and Earth. Only then can they prosper and remain as the main characters forever."
Just like that, he obtained full marks for the "Retired Human Emperor's Palace Test" was released.
He could even create a formula to include other content.
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, Da Yu frowned and sighed.
Seeing that, Li Changshou could not help but feel uneasy. He asked, "Senior, did I say anything wrong?" "That's not the case. Your answer is very good, but it's a little too standard. It seems that you have prepared the answer beforehand. I can't evaluate it."
Da Yu pondered for a while and said, "You've passed. The second question is, if one day, the Heavenly Emperor wants to descend into the mortal world and walk around and experience the life of humans, would you stop him or help him? You just need to say if you will stop him or help him. You don't need to say anything else. I'm getting a headache just by listening to the question…"
Li Changshou was stunned when he heard that. Then, he said, "Don't worry about it. What matters is what the Heavenly Emperor wants, It has nothing to do with me."
"Very good, the third question… If you get scolded by your wife over a small matter, should you forgive her or retaliate?"
Of course, he would choose to forgive her!
Li Changshou almost blurted it out, but he soon realized that the problem might not be that simple.
The first question seemed to be asking about the Heavenly Emperor's natural disaster, but in reality, it was about humans and nature.
The second question seemed to be about the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and the human race, but in fact, it was hinting at something. It should be that Fuxi had predicted that the Jade Emperor would descend to the mortal world to experience the life of a human.
Otherwise, how did Yang Jian, the nephew of the Jade Emperor, come about during the Great God-Conferment War? The Jade Emperor had to reincarnate in the mortal world to cultivate before he could return to the Heavenly Courts and bring back a sister.
The third question seemed to be a very common one. It was actually a question asked by a husband who had been scolded by his wife…
It should be a conflict between the males and females within the human race!
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Counterattack, and we have to retaliate."
"Oh?!"
The Emperor, Yu the Great, was shocked. He could not help but speak in a low voice. "Why are you so determined?"
"Ever since the Goddess of Nuwa created humans, the ancestors have decided on marriage. Men and women should be equal. The men are strong and fit. Men would work hard and provide food and clothing for their families. The women would be more delicate and meticulous. They would give birth to children and also help the men work. The two of them raised children together, so that the human race could reproduce endlessly. No matter which side, if one is too powerful, it would cause the imbalance between Yin and Yang. If one side is unstable, the other would be unstable. If the tribe is unstable, the entire race would be in danger. Therefore, if you encounter unfair treatment, you should retaliate appropriately to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang!"
Da Yus' eyes lit up. "Fellow Daoist, you're talking about the truth of the Great Dao! That's right. Husband and wife should respect each other. I'm still the former Human Emperor who governed the Nine Continents. How can I be scolded by a woman every day after I abdicate!?!"
The expression of Li Changshou's paper effigy, which was in the form of an old immortal, froze.
This Emperor…
What is going on?
Da Yu stood up and grabbed the thin arm of Li Changshou's paper effigy.
He said smilingly, "Let's go! Fellow Daoist, follow me! I'll talk to her in front of you today!" The retired Human Emperor suddenly stopped talking. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The sky within a radius of hundreds of kilometers around the Great Swamp suddenly turned dark. Li Changshou subconsciously looked up and saw a beautiful figure standing quietly in the sky. He extended his right hand towards the two people on the small boat below.
Da Yu's body trembled and he shouted, "Madam, don't attack! A guest has arrived!"
"Hmph!"
Li Changshou heard a cold snort from the cloud above. He felt that the immortal power in his paper effigy had stopped circulating. The Emperor Da Yu in front of him was instantly petrified.
Before Li Changshou could react, he had already turned into two stone statues with Da Yu. Their clothes and treasures were all the same.
The figure on the cloud disappeared, and the world regained its clarity. The two men below teared up in regret…
A moment later, a breeze blew past, causing ripples on the water surface.
An hour later, two pairs of birds passed by. They stopped on the foreheads of the Emperor Da Yu and Li Changshou before spreading their wings and flying away. "Well…"
Li Changshou heard Da Yu's voice in his heart. "Sea God, I'm sorry for implicating you." "Senior, that…"
"I let my wife down during the regulation of rivers. I can't really get angry at her." Da Yu coughed twice. "Her mystical ability will dispel on its own in three days. Sea God, are you anxious? If you are, I will save the two of us." "No hurry, no hurry."
Li Changshou's heart twitched. Fortunately, his mind was unrestrained. He chatted awkwardly with Da Yu for a while and left some of his attention there.
At this moment, he could not communicate much with the Emperor Da Yu. That should be one of the most awkward moments for the Great Yu Emperor…
Hence, Li Changshou felt even more admiration for Senior Xuanyuan.
However, it was said that Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was the reincarnation of the big black turtle in the North Continent. He had the merit to support the heavens, and the living beings of the Primordial World owed him karma.
If it was anyone else, they would definitely not be able to bear the good fortune.
It was the second day after they had gone through thick and thin together. On Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou was guarding the Pill Furnace and refining pills.
Previously, when the Treasure-Seeking Paper Effigy Team was searching for the whereabouts of the copper coins in the Middle Continent, they had not achieved their main goal. However, they had achieved their other small goals.
There was no need to mention the Primordial Spiritual Treasure Record. It did not have any practical value.
Li Changshou had also found some spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs. He could already prepare to refine pills that could help Elder Wan Linyun and his master break through the bottleneck.
Due to the fact that he had to constantly pay attention to the Fire Cloud Cave, Li Changshou did not dare to be distracted. He only dared to study alchemy there.
Just as he was feeling bored, he suddenly sensed a slight surge of spiritual energy from the chess room at the back of the mountain. It seemed that someone had broken through…
Li Changshou's immortal senses immediately saw through the layers of restrictions and saw Ling'e, who was shining with spiritual light.
At that moment, eight translucent lotus flowers with eight petals floated out of Lingle's body. Her exquisite figure was even more charming, and her cultivation level was only a step away from Dao Requital.
Li Changshou frowned slightly.
Her Dao base was not stable enough, and her Dao was unclear. If she could use the Tribulation Transcendence Gift Bag well, the success rate of her Tribulation Transcendence would be about 95%.
That gift bag was much stronger than the one Li Changshou had prepared for himself back then.
"It seems that I still have to conduct a cultivation training camp."
I don't expect you to transcend the tribulation and ascend…
However, you have to survive, Ling'e.

Chapter 286 You're Not Showing Me Respect If You Don't Take It
"Hey, be gentle… Fellow Daoist, be gentle."
On the immortal mountain in the corner of the lake, two figures were tiptoeing and sneaking towards the mountain peak.
The burly man in front of him had already taken off his raincoat. His short-sleeved shirt and long pants were rather plain. However, he exuded an authoritative aura that no one dared to underestimate.
He was a big shot who had separated a wisp of the Primordial Purple Qi!
Behind the burly man, Li Changshou's old immortal paper effigy slowly followed. He had already prepared the gift that he would present to Da Yu.
When General Dongmu prepared the gifts, he naturally prepared eight of them. No matter how poor the Heavenly Courts were, they still wanted their pride. It was impossible for the Sea God to bring a single gift to pay respects to the eight human sages.
However, the current situation far exceeded Li Changshou's expectations…
He really wanted to ask Senior Da Yu some questions.
Why?
Why did you have to drag me into your house?
Everyone had a tacit understanding and smiled at such matters. It was all in the past. There was no need to be so thick-skinned…
After nervously passing by a few buildings, Li Changshou followed the Emperor Da Yu into a few layers of array formations. When they arrived at a mountain peak, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other and laughed loudly, pretending that nothing had happened. "Please!" Da Yu raised his hand and acted like a domineering emperor. With a wave of his hand, he said, "My humble abode is simple and crude. Don't mind it. Today, we have gone through thick and thin together. We should be close friends and confidantes!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Is he trying to seal my mouth?
Li Changshou smiled bitterly. Even if I jumped out and shouted at everyone to tell them that Yu the Great, the human Emperor Da Yu, is afraid of his wife, Tu Shan, and cries every day, no one would believe me, right? Moreover, compared to the gossip of Emperor Da Yu, the human Qi Refinement cultivators were more concerned about Xuan, ahem, and how to achieve immortality and seek Dao!
"Senior, don't worry," Li Changshou said in a low voice. "I have seen and heard nothing during this trip. I only know that you are very powerful and you love your wife. You are the role model for men!"
Da Yu immediately smiled and sighed. "I'm just afraid. There's no need to be so tactful. I owe her. It's only right for me to dote on her."
After saying that, Da Yu put down the fishing pole and fish basket. He hung the straw raincoat at the side and asked Li Changshou to wait at the stone table under the tree.
"There's no need to be restrained. There are no rules in this small courtyard."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Senior." Li Changshou cupped his hands and sat obediently on a wooden chair at the side. He waited for Emperor Da Yu to drink tea with him.
To Li Changshou, being able to build a good relationship with Emperor Da Yu was naturally beneficial.
At the same time, Li Changshou began to size up the miscellaneous items in the courtyard.
In the corner at the side, there was a stone tablet. Beside the stone tablet, there was a rusty metal rod. Beside it, ther was a stone ax. Li Changshou was not interested in it at first. He had only seen it by chance. However, he could not take his eyes off it because he had taken another look at it…
Such an intense power of merit!
In fact, each of them was several times the amount of merit he had accumulated from incense offerings! Furthermore, it was pure Heavenly Dao merit. Could it be that this is the Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure of Emperor Da Yu, the Mountain-Splitting Set that he had used when he was in charge of regulating the rivers? Did he just leave it in the corner to collect dust like this?
"Huh?"
Da Yu, who had changed into a long robe, walked out of the house. He followed Li Changshou's gaze and smiled. He opened his hand and grabbed the metal rod. Da Yu carried it forward. "Here!" Da Yu laughed out loud. "To seal your lips. This is a ruler that I used to measure the water level back then. It's not very useful. Its size can be varied. It's sturdy and not easily destroyed. There's a portion of merit on it. It's not bad to place this at your home and set up a roof beam and tent."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Divine Sea-Calming Needle? Why is he using this thing? He was the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts. He could not possibly use the appearance of an old immortal to fight with others with a rod, right? Could it be that after I take this thing and extract its merit, I can refine it again, carve the words 'Ruyi Golden Rod' on it, and send it to the Dragon Palace as a decoration for a monkey that might only appear in tens of thousands of years?
Moreover, the calamity of the Journey to the West was most likely a plot by the Saints and a battle between the great sects. He really did not dare to touch the Sea-Calming Divine Needle!
It was true that he lacked treasures now, but he did not want to take any.
Li Changshou would definitely not accept such an item that came with huge karma. "No, no. How can I accept such a huge gift!?!"
"Hahaha!" Da Yu laughed and said, "Don't make fun of me. When I came to Fire Cloud Cave, I left all that I could leave for my fellow clansmen. I only brought these treasures that were stained with merit. Now that I have succeeded in my cultivation, merit is useless to me. Take it! Why? Do you still want my Mountain-Splitting Axe? That's my weapon. I can't give you any treasures that are meant for killing. Moreover, this metal rod and mountain-splitting ax were given to me by Senior Grand Supreme Elder. It's fate that I'm returning them to the disciples of Ren School today."
Why is this rod not a killing treasure?
Are you looking down on the monkey?
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Senior, I'm here on behalf of the Jade Emperor. It's not convenient for me to accept the treasure that you have given me."
"Ah, there are no human emperors or ministers of the Heavenly Courts here." Da Yu threw the rusty metal rod in front of Li Changshou. "Take it if you like it. If you don't, don't take it."Li Changshou" After saying that, Da Yu smiled at Li Changshou. If he did not accept the hush money, the matter would not end today… However, in the face of the metal rod, he really..
"Senior, can you change to another one?"
Li Changshou immediately had a solution.
When Da Yu heard Li Changshou's question, he was really stunned. He looked down at the metal rod in his hand and wondered, "Is there any other explanation for this thing?" Li Changshou said, "Senior, if you want to give me a gift, I won't reject it. However, please don't give me a treasure refined by the Grand Supreme Elder. When I went to the Tushita Palace to meet the Grand Supreme Elder, he had imparted to me the Dao of alchemy, not a treasure. If Elderly Lord sees this, he will definitely think that I'm unsatisfied…"
Although that reason was far-fetched, it was barely acceptable. Da Yu thought for a while and placed the metal rod aside. He was a little conflicted.
Then, Da Yu slapped his thigh and said, "How could I have forgotten about that treasure? You're the Sea God. That thing should be very beneficial to you! Wait, I'll go in and look for it!"
Li Changshou smiled and agreed. His heart twitched.
When Emperor Da Yu rushed to the main room, Li Changshou sized up the metal rod that was near his feet.
He raised his hand and grabbed the metal rod. However, he felt that it was rather heavy.
Fortunately, the immortal power in the paper effigy's body was pure Golden Immortal immortal power. Before he became a Golden Immortal, Li Changshou's paper effigy would probably have to use all his strength to pick it up. Li Changshou raised the metal rod and wiped away some rust. He saw that there were densely-packed strokes on it. He understood something
The reason why the rod had not gone to the East Ocean was probably because it had yet to transform into the Ruyi Golden Rod.
Such rich power of merit…
It was impossible for Li Changshou to say that he was not tempted.
Furthermore, he also thought that as long as he took the item away, took away the merit, reforged it, placed it in the East Ocean, and asked the East Ocean Dragon Palace to take care of it, he would actually be able to fulfill the final destination of the item.
However, Li Changshou dispelled that thought based on the principle that he ought to avoid karma as far as possible.
In order to be safe, it was better not to take it.
Li Changshou stood up and placed the metal rod back into the corner.
The ground of the small courtyard was also covered by the array. Otherwise, it would not be able to withstand the weight of the iron rod.
Li Changshou looked at the rusty Mountain-Splitting axe and the almost blurry Merit Tablet. He sighed in his heart. In the past, he had been the regulator of water and an emperor. He had established the foundation of the Kingdom of the Nine Provinces.
Now, he had gone into seclusion with his wife, and his armor had been hidden.
Ancestors of the human race like him were indeed worthy of praise.
After exchanging poems with Daoist Lu Ya previously, his poetic abilities had improved greatly! "Come, take a look at this!"
Da Yu shouted loudly with gusto. He held a scroll and slowly opened it. With a strong blow, dust flew everywhere.
"This is the Hydrology River Diagram of the mortal world of the South Continent. It's different from the Connate treasure, the River Diagram. It records the Earth's Water Vein that I drew when I was in charge of regulating water. The hydrology in many regions is rather complicated. The Heavenly Courts did not know much about the South Continent. I'm giving this to you today, it might benefit the humans in the future. You only need to refine this item slightly. It can be used for protection."
As he spoke, Da Yu pushed the painting with both hands. The painting slowly unfolded, and streams of blue light surged out from it, emitting faint water ripples. There were images of rivers surging on it. He could hear the sound of rumbling water beside his ears!
This is… a top-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure!
Li Changshou raised his hands. The painting was quite intelligent. It rolled up in front of Li Changshou and landed in his hands. Far away in the Immortal Du Sect in the East Continent, his main body suddenly felt strange. His essence soul sensed the joy from the treasure map. The Sea God's divine-rights trident beside his essence soul also trembled slightly. "Thank you for the treasure, Senior!"
Li Changshou bowed to Da Yu, who finally felt relieved.
"Come, have some tea. Rest here for half a day. I'll bring you to meet the seniors!"
Hence, Da Yu and Li Changshou sat down and drank tea while talking about the current situation of the human race.
Li Changshou took out the gift that the Heavenly Courts wanted to give to the Emperor Da Yu. There was a brocade box inside. There were three large peaches, a book, two exquisite phoenix hairpins, and a few items that he was playing with The immortal peach was formed from the Connate Spirit Root, so the value of the gift was guaranteed.
Seeing how Yu the Great liked the items, he knew that the gift was naturally considered perfect.
At that moment, Da Yu held the two jade balls in his palm and gently "examined" them. Wisps of strange immortal power entered the palm of the Great Yu Emperor, making him look rather comfortable.
"Do you have any gifts for the seniors?" "Yes." Li Changshou smiled and agreed. Da Yu said, "Senior Fuxi has already predicted your arrival today. He also knows why you are here. In fact, there is no need for us, who are no longer in the position of the Human Emperors, to agree to promote worshiping the heavens and earth in the human race." He continued, "Ah, the South Continent has been without a leader for a long time. The various places are in chaos and there are many countries. The order that I established back then has long disappeared."
"Although the human race is prosperous, there are many humans who are suffering from the chaos of war. If the Heavenly Emperor interferes and allows the South Continent to reunite as soon as possible, the human race will be safe."
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the rise of the Shang Empire originated from today and the world?
Uh, did I come to look for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall and also participated in the Heaven Earth Tribulation and the human race's matters?
Could it be that I have become a tool of the Heavenly Dao and am pushing some matters towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao's deduction?
He would not be able to transcend the place if he did not become a saint. Most of the dangers in the Primordial World were probably because of that.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He did not delay his conversation with Da Yu. The two of them were chatting happily. Da Yu was knowledgeable and had seen plenty of the world. He had dabbled in various matters of the Dao. He also had a bearing that was rare for ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators. From time to time, he would say a few simple words, which made Li Changshou understand.
Most of their conversation was about the human race.
Just as the two of them were chatting happily, Da Yu suddenly stopped talking. He stood up nervously and gestured at Li Changshou. "Quick, hide!" Li Changshou blinked. A beautiful woman walked over from the courtyard.
She was born with an outstanding beauty, and her skin was fair and smooth. Even though she was only wearing a long dress and had a simple hairstyle, she still looked elegant.
However, her expression… was a little cold.
Tu Shan
Judging from the tense state of the Da Yu, that should be the case.
She carried a tray over. There were a few dishes that were steaming hot. There was also a pot of wine and two wine glasses. Tu Shan did not say a word as he set up the array formations. Li Changshou bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior."
"Yes." Finally, she responded. However, she did not even look at Da Yu and simply carried the tray away.
Da Yu smiled awkwardly. After Tu Shan left, he heaved a long sigh of relief.
Li Changshou said in a low voice, "Senior, I shouldn't have asked about your family matters. However, I accepted the treasures that you gave me today. I want to help you do something. Your wife is…" "We quarreled." Da Yu sat back on the chair and looked at the few dishes. He carefully picked up a piece of spiritual fish and placed it in his mouth to chew carefully. "We've been arguing all year round. I wonder what happened."
Li Changshou said, "That's how relationships are. Why don't you explain it in detail, Senior? Even if I can't come up with any ideas, I can help you."
"Do you know this?"
Li Changshou smiled and nodded. "Elder Moon, my brother."
"Oh?" Da Yu's eyes lit up. After thinking for a while, he told her about the trivial matters that happened in the past.
At that moment, Da Yu was not the Human Emperor. He was just a man who did not understand what his wife was thinking.
Not long after, Li Changshou understood what was going on. "Senior, please listen to me," Li Changshou said. "I have a technique, a plan, and a mantra that might be of some help to you." "Really?" Da Yu's eyes lit up and he moved forward.
Li Changshou deliberated over his words and began to explain slowly. He said, "I see, I see." Very quickly, Da Yu came to a realization and fell into deep thought.
Four hours later, they were in a pavilion.
Da Yu, who had changed into golden battle armor, slowly walked over and arrived at the window sill of the pavilion. He looked at the beautiful figure who was dressing up in the mirror.
"Madam…"
'Thirteen Strategies to Coax Your Wife' (written by the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts, suggested to be used in conjunction with the 'Precious Book of Words For Coaxing Your Wife') "You're so beautiful. I was wrong. What principles can a small matter have?"
"Do not argue, say more romantic words, observe her expression and hug her first." Da Yu said in a warm voice, "In my life, my wife is still the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Even if there are a few hundred more thousands of years, I will not get tired of her."
"Hmph!" The woman who was combing her hair paused and looked at her husband in the mirror.
"Milady, I did something wrong previously. I got into a conflict with you because of a small matter… I really did something wrong." The woman's eyes turned red as she whispered, "You are the former Human Emperor. Why do you have to apologize to a woman like me?"
"How can there be a human emperor at home? I'm the only one who has a wife who has gone through hardships."
Yu Da sighed softly and took two steps forward. He raised his hand tentatively and held his wife's shoulder. "Madam, I couldn't let go of my pride previously…"
"Why did you…"
"Milady, it's really my fortune to be able to meet you in this life. Being able to stay here with you is also the proudest thing I've done in my life. I'm only willing to spend the rest of my life with you. If I owe you anything in the past, I'll use the rest of my life to make it up to you. Milady, don't be angry."
"Hubby, it's my fault."
"Milady, you're so beautiful…"
In the pavilion, two figures slowly hugged each other and spoke softly.
Li Changshou, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, waved his horsetail whisk and silently retracted his immortal senses. He looked at the vast smoke and waited quietly.
The living beings in the Primordial World were relatively pure. It was much easier to coax a companion here than it was in his previous life…
However… Senior Da Yu seemed to have forgotten about the matter of visiting the big shot Fuxi and activated the layers of array formations! Forget it. It's not easy for Senior Da Yu either. Let's wait.
Report chapter
Chapter 287 Thank You, Senior!
After wasting four hours on the mountain, Emperor Da Yu rushed over.
After temporarily resolving the disharmony within his family, Da Yu was in high spirits. He brought Li Changshou to a few immortal mountains to pay their respects three times. He visited the retired human emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave and gave each of them a small gift from the Heavenly Courts.
The true love and concern came from the junior's meticulousness.
However, Li Changshou felt that it was a pity that he could not visit Emperor Huang Xuanyuan.
Big Boss Xuanyuan was already waiting in Big Boss Fuxi's Cave Abode. Li Changshou's next stop would be to see Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan all at once.
He had obviously made a profit!
Along the way, Da Yu praised Li Changshou non-stop. When he saw a senior Human Emperor, he complimented Li Changshou for being "very intelligent" and introduced him as "the most intelligent person in the Heavenly Courts".
Li Changshou felt awkward being praised…
However, he could also tell that the Emperor Da Yu was really excited. If not for the fact that their seniority were too different and the karma of the human Emperor was too great, Da Yu would probably have put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Sea God, my brother!"
Li Changshou thought about it carefully. The only problem that Senior Da Yu had now was his relationship after retirement. It was a problem that Senior Da Yu had to solve every day.
With Li Changshou's help, Da Yu would be able to live a long life in the future… As long as he could familiarize himself with the Sea God Sutra, his family would be harmonious in the future, and his wife would go along with his decisions. It would not be a distant dream!
From that perspective, Li Changshou felt that it was reasonable for Senior Da Yu to be that enthusiastic towards him.
On the way, Li Changshou asked Da Yu why he did not look for Emperor Huang Xuanyuan to obtain the scriptures.
Da Yu smiled bitterly. "How can that be the same? The situation on Senior Xuanyuan's side is completely different from mine. It was said that apart from a small portion of the three-thousand-odd seniors who had high cultivation levels, most of them were from different factions. Every day, they would think about how to please Senior Xuanyuan. I really can't learn to reach such a stage."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Fortunately, he did not go over. Otherwise, he would be in trouble since he had only prepared a gift and three immortal peaches.
When they arrived near Fuxi's Cave Abode, Yu the Great took the initiative to send a voice transmission.
"Senior Fuxi knows the number of heavens and divination. His Dao of prediction and deduction is extremely profound. Don't lie or brag in front of Senior later. You have to speak the truth about everything." "I wouldn't dare to deceive you, seniors."
Li Changshou's expression was solemn. He cupped his hands and thanked him.
Da Yu rode a cloud and landed in front of Fuxi's Cave Abode with Li Changshou.
The door of the Cave Abode was open. Laughter could be heard from inside. It seemed that there were immortals playing chess.
As they walked forward, he saw a winding path leading to a cave.
The stone slabs on the ground were engraved with complicated divination diagrams. The cave wall above his head flickered with the image of the stars, and the painting of mountains, rivers, and trees were hung on the walls on his left and right. Occasionally, he could see some unique diagrams. The spiritual energy in the Cave Abode carried a faint fragrance, making those in it feel an indescribable comfort.
Li Changshou did not release his immortal senses to investigate.
It would be rude if he released his immortal senses as experts like Fuxi and Shennong might detect it.
He took another turn and got another eyeopener.
In front of him, there was a rather tall stone hall. On his left, there was an artificial mountain, stone steps, a pavilion, and on his right, there was a Treasure Pool, a koi, and a lazy little spiritual turtle.
There was a stream at the edge of the stone cave's circular hall. The purpose of the overall arrangement was to gather the power of Yin and Yang
In the pavilion, there were two old men and a middle-aged man.
The most eye-catching one was an old man in a red robe.
That old senior had a clean face and no beard. Although his face looked old, he did not have any wrinkles. There was even a faint, moist luster…
The red-robed old man was playing chess with the middle-aged man in the light-yellow robe.
The middle-aged man looked ordinary at first. However, when he looked at him again, he felt that he was calm and steady. After looking at him for a while, he felt that he looked decent and righteous. He sat in front of the chessboard, and his tall figure gave off a sharp vibe.
Da Yu sent a voice transmission. "Sea God, don't be mistaken. The one in the red robe is Senior Shennong. The one in the yellow robe is Senior Xuanyuan. The one in the green robe is Senior Fuxi."
Li Changshou agreed via voice transmission. Then, he looked at the old man in green who was wearing a straw hoop. He was full of respect for the three retired human emperors.
At that moment, the three people in the pavilion stopped moving.
As the owner of this place, Fuxi was the first to move forward. He stood in front of the pavilion and stroked his beard while smiling. Although his voice was light, it had a sense of intimacy.
"Little friend, it's been hard on you. Come and rest here."
Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, who was behind him, stood up and fiddled with the chessboard. The black and white positions on the chessboard were in a mess. He smiled and said, "Is this the Sea God whom Fellow Daoist Fuxi mentioned a few days ago?"
Shennong frowned and said, "Why are you acting shamelessly again!?!" "Ahaha, hahahaha!"
Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan raised his head and laughed. "Fellow Daoist, although you didn't win, I didn't lose either. It's a draw. Let's end it in a draw. Hahaha!"
Shennong immediately looked helpless. Then, he smiled and sighed. He cast his gaze outside the pavilion and looked at Li Changshou.
Putting everything else aside, Li Changshou was already quite satisfied today. Seeing so many people living in the legends of the human race, he, who was used to flipping through ancient books, felt as if they had jumped out of the books.
Under the lead of Emperor Da Yu, Li Changshou walked to the pavilion and bowed.
"I am the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts, and a disciple of Ren School. Greetings, seniors."
"Okay."
"Yes."
"Come in quickly."
Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan all responded. They accepted the greetings in the pavilion and smiled at Li Changshou.
Although Li Changshou's Sea God paper effigy looked the oldest at that moment…
However, his seniority was really low.
He entered the pavilion and presented the gifts.
Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand, and a stone stool appeared beside him, allowing Li Changshou to take a seat.
Then, the four retired human emperors, including Da Yu, looked at Li Changshou and clicked their tongues in wonder.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He was about to collect money if they looked for a second longer!
Fuxi stroked his beard and smiled.
"The concept of this incarnation is rather ingenious. It actually uses the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique to bind multiple paper effigies together. It also utilizes the Forging Restrictions and the calcining technique of alchemy…"
"There seems to also be a secret book of the Magi. You must have used a profound essence soul transformation technique. Tsk, it's not easy for you to have such an ingenious idea." Li Changshou felt a little sad when he heard Senior Fuxi's words.
He felt that his mystical ability was a low-level incarnation that he had "accumulated"…
That was indeed the case.
When he did not have the technique to create incarnations, he had indeed put all his effort into creating the paper effigy incarnation so that his main body would not have to appear! After the Great Daoist Master had given him the incarnation technique, the paper effigy, which was cost-effective, did not hurt his body, and did not require him to entrust a portion of his essence soul to it while allowing him to operate multiple paper effigies simultaneously, made Li Changshou stay firm on his path to modifying paper effigies.
Up till this day, the paper effigy and the Little Qiong Peak tree had helped him too much.
Although the latter had been exposed… that was not important.
Senior Fuxi could tell the background of the paper effigy at a glance.
His cultivation level and knowledge had really… made Li Changshou exclaim!
He was probably the big boss.
The seniors commented on Li Changshou's paper effigy for a while before Fuxi brought the topic to "serious business".
Fuxi said, "Little friend, you must have come for the human race's sacrifice to Heaven and Earth. You are very thoughtful."
Li Changshou said slowly, "The Jade Emperor is very respectful to the seniors in the Fire Cloud Cave. Logically speaking, I have to ask the seniors for their opinions before I can be at ease and promote the authority of the Heavenly Courts in the South Continent."
Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan smiled and said, "In that case, let's put on an act and agree."
"Hey, Fellow Daoist, we can't look down on the Heavenly Emperor!" Fuxi said seriously.
Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan nodded obediently and agreed, feeling a little awkward.
"Little friend, what do you think?"
Fuxi pondered for a while and took out a jade disc from his sleeve. He pushed it gently towards Li Changshou.
"This is the ritual of human sacrifices. If you want to sacrifice to the world, you should use this gift."
Li Changshou stood up and took the jade disc. He said seriously, "I will definitely present this item to His Majesty."
"Alright." Fuxi nodded in satisfaction. After he finished speaking, he revealed a peaceful smile and discussed the Dao of incarnation with Li Changshou.
The so-called discussion was actually mostly Li Changshou listening to the big shot Fuxi when he pointed out some flaws in the paper effigy technique.
After listening for a while, Li Changshou felt enlightened!
There was a new solution to the problem regarding the upper limit of the paper effigy's technique that he had been struggling with previously!
Li Changshou had gained a lot from the trip to the Fire Cloud Cave.
After obtaining the Hydrological River Diagram, he obtained a "friendship" with Senior Da Yu.
With the guidance of Senior Fuxi, the paper effigy's path to change had a new beginning.
He had also completed the matter of reporting to the Jade Emperor and earned some merit…
Li Changshou felt a little embarrassed to ask about the whereabouts of the copper coins.
However, Li Changshou had gained more than that.
Fuxi smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come here. I don't have any suitable treasures to give you. Why don't I perform a divination for you?"
When Li Changshou heard that, he quickly thought about the pros and cons of the matter. He immediately stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
At that moment, Fuxi raised his hand and tapped the Treasure Pool gently. The little spiritual turtle that was swaying slowly turned into a stream of light and flew into Fuxi's hand, turning into an old turtle shell.
Li Changshou pursed his lips as he watched from the side.
The numinous treasure had taken form and looked like a living creature. Is this turtle shell a Connate numinous treasure?!
A Connate numinous treasure is used for a divination?!
Fuxi smiled and said, "The divination technique that we implemented in the human race previously consisted of roasting the turtle shell and observing the patterns on it. This technique is easily affected by the five elements. The technique I'll use today is different."
As he spoke, Fuxi took out a stone rod of different lengths from his sleeve and placed it into the turtle shell. He shook it gently a few times.
"Little friend, do you have anything you want to know?" asked Fuxi.
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Senior Fuxi is planning to give me an opportunity? "I haven't been cultivating for long, and I lack a suitable protective treasure." Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please help me predict the whereabouts of this treasure when you perform a divination today."
"Alright." Fuxi smiled when he heard that. He gently shook the turtle shell and stone strips of different lengths fell out.
Fuxi looked at the stone slip and pinched his fingers to deduce. A wisp of Dao runes surrounded him.
The three retired human emperors beside him watched excitedly. No one said anything to disturb him.
A moment later, the Dao runes around Fuxi dissipated.
He smiled and said, "According to the divination, the treasure is at the 'Kun' position of your main body."
"Your main body can travel 33,000 kilometers south. If you travel another 16,500 kilometers west, you can go through a headless mountain and a river. When you reach a valley, you can naturally find what you want."
"Thank you, Senior!"
"It's fine." Fuxi wiped the sweat off his forehead and shook his head. "It's really tiring to read your fortune for you. Even though I did not deduce the whereabouts of your main body, the Taiji Painting has been interfering. Young friend, you are really valued by the Grand Pure One."
Li Changshou smiled awkwardly, feeling surprised.
Even with the power of the Taiji Painting, Fuxi was able to predict his future. There was no one else who could do that…
Then, he heard Shennong say in a warm voice, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you have given Fellow Daoist a divination. I should also give him something."
Then, Shennong took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Li Changshou with his immortal power.
"This item is called the Hundred Wood Return Pearl. It is to be placed in a herb garden. As long as there is abundant spiritual energy in the surroundings, the Postnatal plants and vegetation can mature overnight."
Li Changshou was shocked. With this treasure, the subsequent development and production of the immortal bean soldiers would be guaranteed.
"Thank you, Senior."
At that moment, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan stood up again…
"Both of you have given something to him. If I don't do so too, wouldn't I be too stingy?"
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He had owed the residents of Fire Cloud Cave a lot of favors.
Fortunately, the Fire Cloud Cave was not in the Three Realms or the Five Elements. It did not involve any karma. Otherwise, he would have to consider carefully when accepting the gifts.
The gift given by Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was very unique.
It was a jade token that recorded a cultivation technique. Li Changshou did not have time to look at it. He only looked at its name— 'The Essence-Restoring Technique'. It should not be a dual cultivation technique between men and women… right? "Thank you, Senior!"
"This…" Da Yu, who had been silent all this while, stood up and smiled." Since all the seniors have given you a gift, I'll give you another one!"
As he spoke, Da Yu took out the… familiar-looking metal rod from his sleeve.
This time, Yu the Great specially wiped away the rust on the metal rod. The metal rod shone with golden light and was engraved with dense carvings. It was filled with the power of merit and was handed over with immortal power…
Li Changshou hurriedly stopped him. "Senior, you can't do that. I've already taken your Hydrology Treasure Diagram."
Yu Da smiled and said, "Compared to the help that you've given me, Sea God, these are nothing. Don't stand on ceremony with me!"
Li Changshou looked troubled and said in a low voice, "The Grand Supreme Elder…"
"This will do the trick." Da Yu casually made a hand gesture and cut off the carvings on the metal rod, turning it into a smooth metal rod.
Yu Da smiled and said, "I've refined it. There you go!"
After saying that, he threw the metal rod into Li Changshou's arms.
Li Changshou was almost sent flying… At the side, Fuxi pinched his fingers and deduced. Soon, he laughed. It was unknown if he had seen through the heavenly secrets. Fuxi said, "This treasure is fated with you. It's beneficial but not harmful."
Li Changshou did not dare to embarrass Da Yu in front of the other three Human Emperors. When he heard Fuxi's words, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He put away the metal rod.
It seemed that the fate of that item should be to enter the East Ocean Dragon Palace through his hands.
Perhaps there were other laws of fate, such as using the power of merit to help the dragon race…
Li Changshou bowed and thanked him again with a Dao salute.
Fuxi asked if he knew how to play chess. Li Changshou returned the favor. After careful deliberation, he took out his Fighting The God cards.
"Fighting The God" was Little Qiong Peak's reserved item. It could not be given out easily.
However, when Li Changshou took out that set of cards, he had already sent out the paper effigy to secretly spread the items in the East Continent, the Middle Continent, and the Heavenly Courts. That way, people would not be able to use the origin of the "Fighting The God" to find his tracks.
Everything in Fire Cloud Cave was good. However, he was there for a long time, time passed slowly, and the big shots were bored…
Li Changshou was showing respect for the human sages by increasing the number of entertainment programs for the seniors. Not long after, the five consecutive bursts of laughter of four Heaven Immortals sounded in the Fuxi Cave Abode. Their voices were clearly much louder than when they were playing chess previously… Thus, three days later, Li Changshou bade farewell to the few human emperors and Da Yu personally sent him to the exit of the Fire Cloud Cave.
Before he left, Li Changshou looked at the immortal mountain that he had not gone to. He reckoned that it should be Suiren's Cave Abode.
Li Changshou asked, "Senior, should I visit Senior Suiren?"
"There's no need." Da Yu sighed and said, "Before leaving Fire Cloud Cave, just bow to the Great Swamp. Senior Suiren's combat body is unwell. He is cultivating at the bottom of the Great Swamp. Senior led the human race to struggle and survive among the magi and demons. He fought countless battles and experienced many hardships. According to Senior Fuxi, when Senior Suiren entered the Fire Cloud Cave, his tensed Essence Soul relaxed and he heaved a sigh of relief. If not for the power of merit surrounding Senior Suiren, his combat body would probably have collapsed. Moreover, Senior Suiren would occasionally go berserk and would not be able to suppress the demonic aura in his body. It's not appropriate for him to meet guests."
Battle body…
Demonic aura…
Li Changshou was filled with respect. When he reached the exit of the Fire Cloud Cave, he turned around and bowed to the Great Swamp three times.
"I'm a disciple of the human race. Greetings, Senior Suiren. I hope that you will recover soon. I hope that the human race will prosper and the four seas will be peaceful."
It was impossible to push away the karma of being human. Fine ripples appeared on the surface of the water. A gentle breeze blew over, seemingly responding to him.
Report chapter
Chapter 288 The Long Path to Immortal Ascension
Before he left, Li Changshou entrusted the last gift that the Heavenly Courts had given him, to Da Yu. He asked Da Yu to hand it to Suiren. Senior Suiren did not have any family members in the Fire Cloud Cave. Li Changshou could have kept the last gift for himself, but he could not bring himself to do that. Moreover, as a fourth-rank legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, a Daoist in the Tushita Palace, and the Sea God whom the Jade Emperor relied on, would he lack an immortal peach?
Yes.
No matter how many fruits a Connate Spirit Root produced, he would still be lacking!
Unfortunately, Li Changshou had previously thought about it carefully. In order to maintain the image of an "expert of Ren School", he could not seem too demanding.
He really wanted to eat peaches. According to the rumors in the Heavenly Courts, the immortal peaches could increase the lifespan of cultivators below the Golden Immortal realm. He wondered if it would be effective for his master who was a Turbid Immortal.
Ling'e had yet to become an immortal. Eating the immortal peaches would be harmful and useless for her. It was probably because it could not make up for her weakness. He left the Fire Cloud Cave and headed to the Heavenly Courts. Li Changshou did not immediately search for his "opportunistic numinous treasure".
Although he was full of respect for the few human emperor seniors, he had to consider carefully and investigate a few times in advance.
He had to believe it but he could not believe everything Moreover, although Fuxi did not locate his main body and tracks, and only gave him a map, if the "destination" was exposed, the location of his main body would be exposed. Li Changshou really had to think carefully about how to obtain that treasure.
He carefully recalled what he had seen and heard.
Of the seven human sages, the person who had left the deepest impression on him was naturally Da Yu, whom he was most familiar with.
After all, they had stood together on the small boat for three days and three nights. According to Da Yu, they had gone through thick and thin together.
Senior Da Yu had given him a Hydrology Treasure Diagram and a Divine Sea-Calming Needle. He owed him a favor.
Senior Fuxi had given him clues to find the treasure, but Li Changshou did not dare to confirm if the treasure was the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.
He felt that Senior Fuxi had predicted his prediction… The pearl that Senior Shennong had given him should be a treasure of the Five Elements. At that moment, he could not determine if it was a Connate item. However, he could rely on it to increase the production and harvest for the Heavenly Courts' bean-planting business. It would be impossible to bring it back to the Little Qiong Peak. If the pearl was recognized, the flaw would be too obvious. Li Changshou had shown sufficient respect and vigilance to every retired human emperor.
To be able to become human emperors in the past, the seniors were definitely not simple-minded. He did not know if he would still have any interactions with the Fire Cloud Cave in the future. There was a high chance that he would…
When the clouds enter the mist, the Heavenly Wind will not stop him. Not long after, the Zhongtian Sect was in sight. Li Changshou rode a cloud forward. A soldier bowed and verified his identity. He also checked Li Changshou's jade disc in detail… Li Changshou felt much more at ease when he saw how meticulous and conscientious the Heavenly Generals were. He also gave Hua Ritian a 'like'! After entering the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Li Changshou completed his mission and handed over the jade plate that he had obtained from Senior Fuxi. The Jade Emperor officially issued a decree to promote the worship of Heaven and Earth in the South Continent.
With Li Changshou's Sea God Sect as the foundation, it would not be too difficult to start that matter. However, while guiding the mortals to sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, it would also be easy for the incense offerings of the Dao Sect to be affected… Li Changshou had to take the lead in this matter. In the name of Ren School, he had to discuss it with the eldest disciples of Chan School and Jie School, who were in charge of the sect affairs. In that case, he would not leave any evidence of the Heavenly Courts disrespecting the Saints of the Dao Sect.
Li Changshou wanted to ask the Great Daoist Master to take action on that matter. Now that the Jade Emperor's decree had yet to be formed, there was no need to be overly-eager. Every decree of the Jade Emperor would take hundreds of years to form.
It was unknown if it was because Li Changshou's Sea God had returned and the dragon race had obtained a small number of the low-level Deity Positions, but the Heavenly Dao had a deeper connection with the Heavenly Courts.
According to the immortal officials of the Hall of Enlightenment, the speed of the Jade Emperor's decree had increased by… ten percent. Li Changshou's trip was naturally not for nothing. Although he had obtained many benefits in the Fire Cloud Cave, he still had to receive rewards bestowed by the Jade Emperor. The number of treasures that the Jade Emperor had given him to decorate the mansion could be ignored. The Heavenly Courts had bestowed a small amount of merit, but it was not as much as when the mission of slaying demons in the South Ocean and the West Ocean was completed.
This matter was considered a catalyst. There would be a large amount of merit to be earned in the future…
Li Changshou informed the Jade Emperor that he would return to the mansion to wait for his announcement. The Jade Emperor smiled and sent him off.
The Heavenly General Hua Ritian was already waiting near the Lingxiao Hall. After meeting Li Changshou, they rode a cloud back to the Sea God Residence together.
The two incarnations looked at each other on the cloud. At the same time, they used the traditional technique of the Heavenly CourtsIn-person Voice Transmission.
Hua Ritian asked, "Sea God, have you seen the human emperor, Suirenshi in the Fire Cloud Cave?"
Li Changshou answered, "Your Majesty, do you have something to tell that senior? That senior seemed to be recuperating at that time. I did not see him."
"Before I became the Heavenly Emperor, I was ordered by Teacher to train in the mortal world. I also served under Suiren." The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "I didn't expect that his injuries have yet to recover." Li Changshou thought for a while and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, how is your cultivation level now? Your Majesty, don't think too much. I'm just worried…" "Haha, don't be nervous. It's reasonable for you to ask that. After all, the things that you have to consider are too complicated." The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Let's put it this way. As long as I'm in the Heavenly Courts, no one can harm me unless Teacher and a few senior brothers and sisters do so personally." The Jade Emperor's strength was indeed unfathomable. He was also protected by the power of the Heavenly Dao and was different from other experts… That made Li Changshou feel a little more at ease.
The Jade Emperor asked about dealing with Daoist Lu Ya and asked Li Changshou what good plan he had. Li Changshou had been busy searching for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall recently and did not think much about it. He could only deal with it casually and express his worries to the Jade Emperor tactfully.
It was very likely that there was a Saint behind Daoist Lu Ya. Unless he had something on Lu Ya that could make others speechless and immediately kill him, it would be very difficult to get rid of him…
Simply put, it was very difficult. The pair of officials of the Heavenly Courts kept sending voice transmissions to each other to discuss the matter. When they arrived in front of the Sea God Residence, Hua Ritian was finally satisfied and bade farewell. His Majesty, the Jade Emperor, is quite concerned about the matter regarding Lu Ya.
Li Changshou smiled and raised his eyebrows.
Li Changshou drove the Sea God paper effigy back to the Sea God's Residence and took out the two numinous treasures that he had obtained from Senior Da Yu.
For him, the greatest function of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle was the power of merit on it.
However, it was not easy to extract the power of merit. Li Changshou did not know how to do it. He could only put away the metal rod temporarily. It really fits that sentence… What's the use of this metal rod? Li Changshou was rather interested in the Hydrology Diagram. However, after some deductions, he felt that the treasure diagram seemed to be beneficial to the dragon race instead. He was not in a hurry to refine it into a treasure for fighting. Li Changshou put away the treasure map and prepared to shift his attention back to his main body.
Only then did he understand-Later, with the guidance of the painting, he could confer titles to many dragons and become the "Water God" of the rivers and seas! It was another huge merit that he could take but had yet to obtain.
Li Changshou returned to his main body and stood in front of the Pill Furnace, lost in thought.
If the Jade Emperor can bypass me, the Sea God, and secretly kill Daoist Lu Ya, that would be perfect. In that case, he would not have to bear the karma, nor would he have to worry about being "named" by the Saint. The God-Conferment Tribulation would also change slightly. At the very least, the terrifying Seven Arrows Book would be able to leave early. The Heavenly Dao is balanced. There shouldn't be such an abnormal evil spell.
Li Changshou pinched his fingers to deduce and searched his memories. In the God-Conferment Story, when the people of Zhou Nation were thinking of a way to get rid of Zhao Gongming, it was Daoist Lu Ya who had given the Seven Arrows Book to Jiang Ziya and asked him to perform a sacrifice to kill Zhao Gongming with a curse.
However, in the legends that he had heard, there were no rumors of Jiang Ziya bearing any consequences. The luck of the Son of the Tribulation? The merit of becoming a god? If he were to sum up the final fate of Jiang Ziya, he could only say that Jiang Ziya would become a high official in the mortal world and enjoy wealth and glory. He would not be like Li Jing, Nezha, Yang Jian, and the others, who after severing the mortal ties, would go to the Heavenly Courts to become legitimate gods… Perhaps there was some unknown karma involved.
"I won't think too much about it." I'll take the treasure first.
Li Changshou raised his hand and patted his face to wake himself up. He snapped his fingers at the box on the bookshelf and summoned thick paper effigies. He carefully injected immortal power into each of them.
The treasure-seeking paper effigies would attack for the second time! Li Changshou actually had a question- could the God-Conferment Tribulation that he knew about, go through any changes? He only needed to find the "treasure of destiny" that Big Boss Fuxi had divined for him. He wanted to see if it was the Copper Coin of Treasurefall. Then, he would be able to obtain the answer. If he really obtained the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, the God-Conferment Tribulation in the future would definitely be slightly different from what he knew.
The most likely possibility was that the general direction would not change while the details could be changed. His main body was meditating in the Pill Chamber to recover his immortal power. Li Changshou focused his attention on the paper effigy who was driving the carriage. He led more than twenty treasure-seeking paper effigies and sped towards the southwest. They would have to travel 33,000 kilometers if they headed to the south and 16,500 kilometers if they headed to the west. Therefore, he decided to take a direct route, which was naturally the nearest. The landmark that he needed to find was the "Headless Mountains", which was a mountain that did not have a peak. There were such mountains all over the Primordial World. Quite a number of them might form during a battle between experts… The paper effigy used Earth Escape to move forward. The first half of the journey was very smooth. After walking through the journey, he easily found the 'Headless Mountain' that the elder Fuxi had divined.
However, when he arrived near the mountain, Li Changshou could not help but frown. That place was close to the border between the East Continent and the Middle Continent. It was still within the East Continent. The demonic aura in a radius of 500 kilometers soared into the sky. He could vaguely sense a few powerful auras and pressures. Where is this? Is the treasure that I'm looking for here?
Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy that was driving the carriage and released a small paper kite. The paper kite slowly flapped its wings and emerged from the ground, transforming into an eagle that spread its wings and soared. Li Changshou placed a wisp of his attention on it and carefully observed the surroundings of the mountain.
This should be a town of the demons. The top of the mountain should have been flattened by an expert who used his mystical abilities. He had built a sturdy city stopper. There were various array formations protecting it. The earth meridian spiritual energy was also fully utilized by the array formations. In the town, there were humans, beasts, and birds.
Although there were human Qi Refinement cultivators moving about, there were not many of them. Most of the residents had beasts' ears… ahem, most of them were demons who had retained some of their characteristics before their transformation. The eagle broke through the clouds and crossed the Headless Mountain, finding a huge river.
After flying along the river for a while, he saw a valley that was enveloped by a huge array formation…
The treasure was there.
The valley was naturally the land of the demons. The scenery inside seemed pretty good. Due to the isolation of the array, it was impossible to see how many experts were inside.
However, according to the distribution of the demon race's forces, most of the experts of the demon race were gathered at the North Continent, the border of the Middle Continent. This place was not too far away from the Immortal Du Sect. If there were any powerful demon experts, the Immortal Du Sect would have probably instructed their disciples not to go there to train. The first thought that popped up in Li Changshou's mind was to use the paper effigy Immortal Bean Soldiers to attack that place. He could obtain treasures and obtain merit.
However, he quickly rejected that thought.
Firstly, as one of the two ancient tyrants, the demons had some accumulation of strength. They could easily provoke the older ones if they beat the younger ones. These demons were not comparable to the deep-sea demons. Secondly, he did not know what the treasure was. It might have been hidden somewhere. If it was taken away by the demons when they attacked, it would be troublesome. That matter could not be rushed. He would first gather intelligence and formulate a plan. When it was time to take action, he would strike with lightning speed. There was no need for him to seek both treasures and merit. At that moment, Li Changshou began to secretly gather paper effigies near the Immortal Du Sect, in the South Continent, and in the East Ocean. He also transported a new batch of immortal beans in the Immortal Du Sect.
In just a few days, Li Changshou had already ambushed 100,000 "male soldiers" around the valley. There were also hundreds of paper effigies that had strength that was comparable to the late-stage Heaven Immortal realm and were in charge of deploying the Immortal Bean Soldiers.
Let's not care about anything else. Let's surround him first!
Of course, those were just the backup plans. Li Changshou wanted to secretly take the treasure away with the least karma and cost. The gathering of intelligence was also carried out in an orderly manner. Li Changshou had always been patient…
At the same time, Li Changshou was doing something else in the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak.
He was making a few Golden Immortal realm paper effigies!
In the past few days after returning from the Fire Cloud Cave, Li Changshou had been pondering over the guidance of Big Boss Fuxi. Today, he had a complete train of thought and was prepared to give it a try… If he could make a Golden Immortal paper effigy sooner, he would be able to obtain twice the results with half the effort! Li Changshou sorted out the new ideas of the improved paper effigy in his heart. This time, the chances of success were not too high. At most, it was 60% or 70%. He did not know how the final product would turn out… However, if he did not try, he would never break through. Li Changshou opened the pitch-black Pill Furnace and carefully cleaned it. Then, he summoned a few paper effigies that were carrying cloth bags. The paper effigies stood on the wooden table obediently and followed Li Changshou's thoughts. The paper effigies each took out a pile of herbs and precious materials. The incarnation technique that Big Boss Fuxi had taught Li Changshou opened up a new path. Why did his paper effigies reach a bottleneck?
The difficulty was that when his Golden Immortal realm immortal power was injected into the paper effigy's body and reached a certain amount, it would become extremely unstable and continuously self-destruct.
Previously, his thoughts had been limited to strengthening the paper effigies and improving the restrictions.
However, after Fuxi's guidance, Li Changshou found a new path.
Next, he would try to give his paper effigies a core to stabilize their immortal power!
He injected some immortal power into the immortal power core to maintain the stability of the paper effigy's immortal power. When the paper effigy's immortal power was depleted, the small portion of immortal power could be used for emergencies. Although that matter was simple, how to refine the core and how to achieve such effects were all difficult questions for his immortal research…
The Dao of alchemy became the first solution that Li Changshou thought of.
The Grand Pure One's Great Dao of Inaction and the method to balance Yin and Yang could also be used.
Combining the Great Dao of the Saint, the principles of Yin and Yang, the guidance given by Big Brother Fuxi, the reference mystical abilities given by Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, and the rich experience he had gained from immersing himself in the paper effigy technique for many years… It would not make sense if he gained nothing! Li Changshou quickly threw medicinal herbs and precious materials into the Pill Furnace and began the refinement process of the core of the paper effigy.
Half a day later…
With a loud boom, a mushroom cloud slowly rose 1,500 kilometers east of the Immortal Du Sect. Half of a desolate mountain had been blown up.
The spiritual explosion appeared again, but its power was obviously much weaker.
Report chapter
Chapter 289 Have You Seen The Divine Lightning of Heavenly Punishment…When The Primordial World Is Ugly?
"Sect Leader, the spiritual explosion incidents have begun again in the past half a month. This time, they are more frequent than the previous time."
"Ahem, ahem… I'm not deaf. I heard it long
ago."
In the Immortal Du Sect's Immortal Du Hall, the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, who was dressed in a blue robe, coughed and looked at the elders in front of him helplessly. Could he have done anything about the explosion? Ever since there was an unknown spiritual energy disturbance around the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou had already brought the elders to investigate many times. In the end, they came to two different conclusions.
The elders of the Immortal Du Sect all felt that that might be a "spiritual charge" caused by the unstable spiritual meridians in the earth.
Perhaps, two experts were sparring and fighting nearby, causing such a commotion.
However, no matter which explanation it was, it would not be convincing. However, the Sect Leader had already guessed the correct answer…
Changshou is probably cultivating some great mystical ability that the Great Daoist Master taught him. Every time the spiritual energy erupted, it would appear a thousand kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect. Moreover, it would appear in different directions at random times.
Although the Sect Leader did not have any evidence, all the evidence proved his guess to be correct. "It should be a certain expert cultivating some mystical ability. Ahem." Ji Wuyou wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and smiled.
He continued, "Don't be nervous. Elders, restrict the disciples of the various peaks and cultivate in peace. The opening ceremony is round the corner. There are many complicated matters. Now, the Immortal Du Sect is going to send away another batch of disciples who have succeeded in their cultivation. It's more important to make proper arrangements for them."
The elders looked at each other and roughly understood that the Sect Leader knew something. They agreed and left.
"Um…"
There was a hint of a smile on Ji Wuyou's pale face. He thought for a while and rode a cloud with his hands behind his back. He headed towards the Little Qiong Peak and coughed lightly. After flying for less than a thousand feet, the Sect Leader's figure disappeared into the air, causing many people in the sect to be unable to continue tracking him with their probing gazes and immortal senses.
After a while, the Sect Leader appeared outside the Pill Chamber's array formation of the Little Qiong Peak. He sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou in the Pill Chamber… and coughed twice.
The surrounding array formations were activated. The Sect Leader took a step forward and his figure flickered a few times before he appeared in front of the Pill Chamber.
However, Li Changshou sat quietly in the Pill Chamber and did not move.
Ji Wuyou frowned slightly…
After all, he was the Sect Leader in name. Li Changshou should welcome him.
However, Ji Wuyou exclaimed softly and realized that something was amiss with Li Changshou, who was sitting beside the Pill Furnace.
He could not say for sure, but he felt like an empty shell. It was a coincidence that the Sect Leader had come.
At that moment, Li Changshou was at the crucial moment of "condensing the pill". His mind was focused on his main body, which was hiding in a rift in underground rock 3,500 kilometers away. He was watching the "pill" in the herb tripod that was constantly emitting seven-colored light. The only distraction Li Changshou could have was letting the Sect Leader in. However, it only took a few breaths for Li Changshou's main body to quickly use his escape technique to escape hundreds of kilometers away. He had already done all the steps before the pill was formed. Whether it would explode or remain stable would depend on its own luck. In front of the Pill Furnace in the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou's body trembled slightly. A wisp of his attention returned to the 'main body' paper effigy in the Pill Chamber.
He immediately stood up and bowed to Ji Wuyou with a Dao salute. "Sect Leader, please forgive me. I was thinking about the pills and could not come back to my senses!" "Hahaha, ahem, it's fine." Ji Wuyou laughed and walked into the Pill Chamber. He felt much more relieved. Why did the Sect Leader suddenly come?
Li Changshou took out a chair from his treasure pouch and placed it in the middle of the Pill Chamber. He respectfully invited the Sect Leader to take a seat. Ji Wuyou smiled and asked, "Changshou, have you been cultivating smoothly recently?" "Sect Leader, my cultivation has been quite smooth."
"Okay." Ji Wuyou nodded. He pondered for a while and said, "There have been constant movements outside the sect recently. Are you cultivating your mystical abilities?"
Li Changshou subconsciously wanted to deny
it.
He wanted to say, "How can that be? Impossible. I don't have that ability." However, from the looks of it, the Sect Leader seemed to be very certain that there was already concrete evidence. "I did that accidentally…"
"Were you the one who caused the previous 60-odd explosions and the recent 100-odd explosions in the past half a month?" "I'm refining a special pill." Li Changshou felt a little awkward. "However, I'm outside the immortal sect. Recently, I've also placed the venue where I refined pills underground. That way, the ground will only tremble slightly." "Yes, refining pills is a good thing, but you have to be mindful of your own safety." Ji Wuyou lectured him casually. Then, he looked at Li Changshou and asked in a low voice, "Changshou, what pill are you refining? Why did you cause such a commotion?" "I can't explain it for now…" "There's no need to explain. I'm just wondering." Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "Since I'm sure that you were the one who did it, there's no harm in it. I will inform the sect members later and let them cultivate in peace. Changshou, how long will you continue refining pills like this?" "'This…"
Li Changshou thought about it carefully and suddenly realized something. The pill just now did not explode? "Sect Leader, please wait a moment. Let me deduce," Li Changshou agreed. The paper effigy stood in front of Ji Wuyou. 1,500 kilometers away, his main body hurriedly checked the location of the "pill".
The small herb tripod was safe and sound. There was a pill inside that was emitting a colorful glow. There was a layer of Yin and Yang surrounding it, and five stars were chasing each other inside. Is it stable?!
Li Changshou's eyes widened. He quickly picked up the jade token and sorted out the refinement process of the pill. He added the order, timing, control curve of the immortal power, and so on!
This Sect Leader is my lucky star! Li Changshou carefully probed the various characteristics of the pill and suppressed the joy in his heart.
What did that mean?
The Immortal Research is about to explode. How can I continue if it does not explode?
As long as it exploded well, he would definitely succeed!
Li Changshou confirmed that the pill was completely stable and had reached his expectations. He immediately tidied up the place and headed for the next temporary venue!
In the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou's paper effigy's expression did not change much. At that moment, he had already given the Sect Leader a precise duration. "Sect Leader, I will be able to refine this pill in half a month at most."
"That's good. Ahem, ahem."
Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "The opening ceremony is approaching. Don't alarm those disciples who are going to become official disciples because of this matter. Changshou, are you willing to take in any disciples?" Li Changshou smiled and said, "I've just reached the Essence Immortal realm. It's not appropriate for me to take in disciples." "That's right. I forgot that it's not convenient for you to reveal your cultivation realm." Ji Wuyou lifted the hem of his Daoist robe and stood up. "In that case, I won't delay you from studying the Dao of alchemy. If you need anything, come to the Immortal Du Hall to look for me. There are many things going on in the sect recently. I can't meditate in seclusion."
"Sect Leader, if you need anything, just tell me. Please recuperate, Sect Leader."
"Okay."
Ji Wuyou waved his hand and left the Pill Chamber on his own. His figure disappeared into the sunlight and vanished without a trace. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and was a little puzzled…
Although he had used the Grand Pure Dao to let the Sect Leader know that he knew the Great Daoist Master and had received benefits from him, why was the Sect Leader so polite to him?
Li Changshou could not think of anything. He could only accredit it to the fame of the Great Daoist Master. Causing trouble! The paper effigy sat back in front of the Pill Furnace and activated the array formations around the Pill Chamber. A wisp of immortal senses surrounded the Little Qiong Peak. Li Changshou focused all his attention on his incarnation
The core pill had already been completed. The most difficult step for the Golden Immortal realm paper effigy had been completed! He could not be anxious. He had to be steady. The success of refining a pill was obviously coincidental.
Li Changshou changed the testing ground and followed the previous method. He recalled the feeling he had previously and perfectly replicated the process of refining pills. In the end… it exploded. However, this time, the "pill" exploded at the last moment. Li Changshou keenly captured the subtle changes in the power of the five elements within the pill before the explosion.
Overall, the pills were stable.
According to the subtle changes this time, Li Changshou immediately made a reverse deduction. He quickly found the problem and made corresponding adjustments. The second success and the third success followed!
Two days later, Li Changshou, who had triggered six spiritual explosions, looked at the immortal power cores in front of him and finally smiled in satisfaction.
What happened next was much easier.
Li Changshou took out the new paper effigy and carefully placed a pill into the restrictions on the paper effigy's abdomen, making the pill the core of the restrictions. In the next moment, colorful immortal light shone. The dozens of layers of restrictions slowly lit up on the paper effigy's body. The immortal power communicated and circulated on its own.
Li Changshou placed his left hand on the paper effigy's back and injected wisps of immortal power… He was approaching the Golden Immortal node and breaking through the Golden Immortal node…
Immortal powers circulated rapidly in the paper effigy's body through the core of the pill. After a while, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. His main body used Earth Escape and disappeared. His attention landed on the paper effigy.
He was not as happy as he had imagined.
It was undoubtedly because the production costs of that thing… were too high!
One of the advantages of the paper effigy was that it was cheap. The paper effigy of the Golden Immortal realm, on the other hand, was worth about 60 times more than the paper effigy of the Heaven Immortal realm, excluding the huge amount of herbs and precious materials that he had spent during the "research and development period".
The requirements for the spiritual tree's sap alone were quite harsh. Only tree sap above a thousand years old could create such a paper effigy. However, with the Golden Immortal incarnation, it was indeed much more convenient for him to go out and do things. At that moment, the greatest advantage of the paper effigy technique was that the paper effigy did not have any intelligence. It was like a "body" that could carry the power of his mind and essence soul. "Let's test its power." Li Changshou closed his eyes and sensed that the paper effigy was more nimble when he was controlling it. It was also easier to control his immortal power through the core pill. With a thought, faint smoke surged out from the paper effigy's body. A middle-aged man walked out. That was the appearance of the paper effigy. Li Changshou tried to release a few spells. They were indeed powerful. The immortal power inside was stable. Next, he prepared to test the stability of the paper effigies under various extreme conditions. For example, getting beaten up by 300 burly men of the Golden Immortal realm.
However, just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard thunder. The paper effigy looked up. A layer of black clouds covered the starry sky, and the vast heavenly might suddenly appeared!
A wisp of Dao runes that Li Changshou was extremely familiar with locked onto the paper effigy. Does the Golden Immortal realm incarnation need to go through the Heavenly Tribulation? No, that's not right. This is not a Heavenly Tribulation. This is… The Heavenly Punishment!
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched violently. The paper effigy immediately bowed to the sky and said, "I am willing to accept your punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening rumbling above his head. The black cloud, which was only hundreds of kilometers in diameter, emitted a pressure that made even Golden Immortals tremble in fear! Li Changshou could only smile bitterly.
He had worked hard for so long, but it was all in vain. The Heavenly Dao did not allow paper effigies to have the combat power of the Golden Immortal realm.
Why?
The incarnations of other big shots might have the combat power of Golden Immortals and Zenith Heaven. Although he had used many tricks, he did not allow the paper effigies to have their own thoughts… Could that be the problem?
At the current stage, he really did not have any plans to produce Golden Immortal paper effigies in batches. Moreover, he could not afford to use the amount of precious materials that he had consumed. At most, he would just assemble the materials that he had prepared and the twelve "core" pills that he had successfully refined.
Forget it.
"Thank you, Heavenly Dao, for taking the time to strike!"
The paper effigy could only give up…
Crack!
The black clouds in the sky trembled, and a bolt of purple-red lightning as thick as a water bucket struck down! The paper effigy closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate. Li Changshou quickly turned his attention back to his main body and was about to escape underground…
A wisp of heavenly might silently descended and suddenly locked onto Li Changshou's main body!
The moment the purple-red divine lightning was about to hit the paper effigy, it strangely turned around and streaked across the paper effigy's head!
After the divine lightning flew thousands of feet away, it walked out of the sky and entered the ground!
A deep hole that was hundreds of feet in diameter appeared on the ground. The soil and rocks inside disappeared… At the bottom of the deep hole, Li Changshou only had time to activate more than ten layers of immortal power barriers before he was engulfed by the lightning! W-What the hell!
Would the Heavenly Punishment take shortcuts too? Who can withstand that!?!
Under the ground, Li Changshou spat out a mouthful of blood. However, immortal light shone all over his body. He was not seriously injured by that attack. He understood the logic.
However… why did it strike his main body?
Li Changshou had heard that there was a Heaven-defying Spirit Pill during alchemy. The Heavenly Dao had sent down Heavenly Punishment to destroy that pill. When refining a Heaven-defying numinous treasure, the Heavenly Dao would send down a Heavenly Punishment to destroy it.
My paper effigy is completely considered a Dharma artifact, right? Furthermore, it definitely does not have any intelligence. It is completely a special Dharma treasure of mine! The Divine Lightning of Heavenly Punishment had clearly struck the paper effigy! The 'Zhi' Divine Lightning is too much!
At that moment, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky. Immortal power surged in Li Changshou's body. He raised his left hand high and released wisps of immortal power from his palm. They turned into the Taiji Painting of Water and Fire and slowly rotated to resist the divine lightning!
However, halfway through the power of the lightning, the Taiji Painting in Li Changshou's palm exploded. He was hit hard. The Daoist robe on his back was torn apart, leaving a charred scar…
Is this reasonable!?! Li Changshou did not dare to scold it out loud. He could only complain in his heart. He quickly jumped out of the pit and put away the paper effigy. Then, he ran towards a dense forest.
In the sky, the rolling black clouds quickly condensed into a small gray cloud and stopped steadily above Li Changshou. From time to time, a purple-red bolt of lightning would descend.
In the face of the Heavenly Tribulation, Li Changshou could not hide. He could only continuously resist it. Fortunately, it was no longer the same as when he had just undergone the Tribulation Transcendence. Even if he were to encounter twelve Heavenly Punishments, Li Changshou would not be too seriously injured.
At that moment, he missed Fairy Yun Xiao's… Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice!
Gradually, the rhythm of the Heavenly Punishment was relaxed and comfortable. It was as if an old man was sitting on the gray cloud and brewing a pot of fine Dao Comprehension Ancient Tea. He took a sip of the dawn of immortality tea and tasted it carefully. At the same time, he whipped the Heavenly Punishment Whip.
Below the gray cloud, the figure was hiding everywhere. His Daoist robe was tattered, and he was covering his head and running like a rat. He looked handsome and suave when he ran.
However, Li Changshou quickly realized that he had helped his paper effigy endure the Heavenly Tribulation. It was also to protect his efforts.
The Heavenly Dao had acknowledged his Golden Immortal realm paper effigy! Immediately, when Li Changshou spat out blood at the treasure pouch, he revealed a brilliant smile…
Report chapter
Chapter 290 Before the Treasure Was Born, the Big Boss Arrived First
Life was actually like that. There would always be some hardships that were hard to predict.
For example, he was smashed by something as he walked. As he was refining pills, he was struck by the Heavenly Punishment nine times in a row. Each strike was stronger than the last, and he was seriously injured…
However, humans had to learn to be strong. It was also a necessary skill for a mature man to be happy in times of hardship.
Yes, the Heavenly Punishment was not without benefits.
In the sunset, Li Changshou, who had changed into a new robe made by Ling'e, lay on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber. He looked at the "Treasure Bag of Vomiting Blood" that had turned into ashes in his palm and felt the medicinal effects of the two sixth-grade recovering Spirit Pills, as well as the comfort that slowly spread throughout his body. A smile of peace and relief graced his face.
He had gained some resistance to lightning. If he was struck again in the future, his injuries would be reduced…
Then, Li Changshou continued to worry. If every Golden Immortal realm paper effigy has to be subjected to the Heavenly Punishment, who can withstand it?
There was no other way to solve that problem. He could only try again after he recovered.
If the creation of every Golden Immortal realm paper effigy would subject the creator to nine Heavenly Punishments, he could only give up on that path.
To be safe, if he were to trigger the Heavenly Punishment when he assembled the second Golden Immortal paper effigy later, he would directly destroy the second paper effigy and see if he could persuade the Heavenly Punishment to stop… Although treasures were precious, his life was more valuable.
It was not like he could not use the paper effigies that were at the Heaven Immortal realm. At most, he would use the tactic of piling a large number of paper effigies to win!
Li Changshou took a deep breath and stood up with some effort. His entire body felt numb and sore, as if he was about to fall apart…
He walked back to the Pill Chamber and found a bookshelf in the corner. He conjured a seal with both hands and used the modified transformation technique.
He transformed into a small butterfly and entered the hidden compartment behind the vase in the corner of the bookshelf.
Footsteps could be heard from the side. 'Main Body' Paper Effigy No. 3 had already gone to work. It walked to the Pill Furnace and meditated properly. In reality, Li Changshou's attention was already on the only paper effigy with the combat power of the Golden Immortal realm. He drove the paper effigy towards the underground Earth Meridian Teleportation Array.
The Golden Immortal realm's incarnation's escape technique was rather smooth…
At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly had an absurd thought.
Did I accidentally create something impressive and extraordinary?
He lowered his head and looked at his paper effigy. He stared at the pill that was slowly revolving in the paper effigy's abdomen and recalled the cultivation method of the Essence Soul Dao in the Primordial World that was currently in trend…
As the Primordial World was too suitable for cultivation, every place outside the South Continent was filled with pure spiritual energy. One could dig out a spirit meridian from any mountain.
In such an environment, it was not difficult for humans to embark on the path of cultivation. With aptitude and cultivation techniques, they could embark on that path. It was just that the places they could reach were different.
Therefore, the current cultivation system was to refine Qi, cultivate the essence soul, and ascend to immortality.
If the external environment was not as excellent as that, cultivators would have to continuously purify spiritual energy in order to satisfy the requirements to become an immortal…
Wouldn't that require another cultivation system?
Golden Pill Great Dao? As long as he had enough time, he could deduce a new cultivation system that was suitable for an environment with "weak spiritual energy"! I have swallowed a Golden Pill into my stomach. My life… ahem, the same sky is still above my head!
At that thought, Li Changshou felt a sense of danger. It was as if a pair of eyes was watching him.
The eyes were not looking at his main body or the paper effigy's incarnation. Instead, they were looking at his essence soul and true spirit with a hint of warning.
Li Changshou instantly dispelled his thoughts. He bowed to the sky and kept reminding himself.
Don't think about it, don't think about it!
Why am I always thinking about these meaningless things!?!
In an instant, the feeling of being watched dissipated. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately made the paper effigy that was of the Golden Immortal realm escape deeper and closer to the Headless Mountain.
After half a month of investigation, Li Changshou had figured out the details of that place.
The demon city on the Headless Mountain was called 'Ci Tie City'. It was considered an important town of the demon race.
The human race and the demon race had been fighting for many years since the ancient times. However, the human race could not destroy the demon race, and the demon race could not revive. Hence, the two sides fell into a deadlock.
In addition to being at odds against each other, the demons and humans had formed a tacit understanding. They would open up some of their towns to both sides and do things for each other.
For example, at the border of the North Continent, there were many human and demon towns.
The town that Daoist Kuai Si had gone to was one of them.
Ci Tie was one of the ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Court in ancient times. The demons should have named the city after this demon expert in order to commemorate him.
The person in charge of that place was from the Ox Demon race. It could be considered a large race among the demons at present.
Most importantly, Li Changshou had been investigating for a long time. No one could say that there were experts left behind from the ancient times in the demon race.
Li Changshou did not dare to be careless.
He had seen the scene of Ox-head and Horse-Face bullying and defeating the experts of the Asura race. In the ancient battle, Ox-Head and Horse-Face were the experts of the Magi race who had followed the Lady of Earth to the Netherworld. They were the kind of people who were unknown.
If he used the Ox-head and Horse-Face as a measurement of the combat power of an ordinary Golden Immortal from the ancient times, there might be a few figures among the ox demons who would be hard to deal with. The valley that Big Boss Fuxi had predicted to be the location of the numinous treasure after some divination, was the "tribal ground" of the ox demon…
It would affect the entire situation.
At that moment, he sorted out everything and came up with a set of effective information. Ci Tie City is rich in precious metals. It's suitable for forging sharp blades. The ox demons are not considered to be hostile towards the human race. They have existed for tens of thousands of years and are very obedient. Every time the human race and the demons had a conflict, they would not interfere.
The human Qi Refinement cultivators seem to have neglected this place. There are no immortal sects or organizations that would lead them to exterminate demons.
However, the city was ultimately the territory of the demons. There were a large number of experts from the demon race who had huge negative karma. Occasionally, human cultivators would be attacked after leaving the city.
The human cultivators who dared to go there naturally had some impressive skills and were competent. Their cultivation levels were at least at the late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm…
How did Li Changshou obtain the information?
Naturally, collecting intelligence could not be done with one-sided efforts. It also had to be technical.
Firstly, Li Changshou used an 'old Daoist' paper effigy and used the excuse of wanting to buy some black gold to sneak into the city.
A few days later, using the appearance of a young girl and an old woman, he went to the immortal sects and towns closest to the place that he was in, to inquire about the information regarding the ox demons of Ci Tie City.
The "young girl" first went to the immortal sect that was thousands of kilometers away and asked the old man who was guarding the mountain if he had seen her grandfather, telling him that her grandfather said that he was going to a place called 'Ci Tie City'. She claimed that she did not know where the city was.
The old woman went to the town and asked if anyone had seen her husband before. She also took the opportunity to search for the rumors about Ci Tie City…
In that case, he could verify the news from various sources and did not have to be afraid of being investigated.
There were also some details. For example, if he used the image of a young girl to get close to the old man who was guarding the mountain, he could guarantee that those old immortals would not chase him away…
Anyway, Li Changshou had seen such a situation many times when he was monitoring the Immortal Du Sect.
Ahem, let's talk about treasure hunting.
Before Li Changshou took action, he had to first have a plan and prepare a few backup plans.
After the paper effigy that was in the Golden Immortal realm arrived, he was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he set up hidden sentries outside the city and the valley, observing the place from all directions…
It took him half a year.
In the past half a year, Li Changshou had captured the pressure of the Golden Immortal realm from the same expert three times. He thought that the other party should be an expert from the demon race who was guarding the city. The frequency was rather high.
At the same time, Li Changshou figured out the flaws of the array formation in the city and found the weak spot to break the array formation from the inside.
He had figured out the deployment of the troops, the laws of defense, and the speed at which they deployed reinforcements…
Apart from that, he had also seen the City Lord's wife's younger sister meeting the demon general, who was guarding the north gate in the wilderness. He had seen the City Lord's wife's brother-in-law and the City Lord's wife secretly playing footsie under the table.
The City Lord was an ox demon in the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. He drank and ate with a group of demon experts every day. The green hair on his head was rather unique…
The treasure I'm looking for is most likely this ox demon's clan treasure.
Li Changshou deduced.
The battle plan that he had decided on was not complicated. It was to lure the ox demon away.
He would pretend to attack Ci Tie City and spread the sense of danger. He would then deploy the experts of the demon race in the valley and take the opportunity to enter the place to search for treasures.
The only thing he was uncertain about now was which realm the strongest expert of the ox demons was at. If there was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal guarding it, most of the paper effigies would be crippled.
Therefore, to be safe, Li Changshou arranged the 'Golden' Paper Effigy No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 that he had just completed, to go over.
The three 'Golden' Immortal paper effigies entered a frontal attack. One Golden Immortal paper effigy entered the valley to search while the other two Golden Immortal paper effigies were prepared to escape at any time! The six Golden Immortal realm paper effigies gave Li Changshou more confidence to search for treasures.
Naturally, he was most pleased about the Golden Immortal realm paper effigies during this period of time.
After Li Changshou recovered from his injuries, he tried to make a second Golden Immortal paper effigy. He did not receive the love and concern of the Heavenly Dao again. However, as he continued to create paper effigies, Li Changshou could vaguely sense that if more than nine Golden Immortal realm paper effigies existed at the same time, the Heavenly Punishment would descend, and it would be even more ferocious than before.
Forget it.
I'm afraid.
At the current stage, six Golden Immortal incarnations were enough. He could also make up the story of the six Golden Immortals besieging Ci Tie city.
The fake bugle horn was set to be blown up three days later by Li Changshou! I have to break through Ci Tie City's array formation within an hour and stop the other party's reinforcements. I have to kill the demons in the city who are suffering from negative karma and enter the valley to search for treasures!
The battle is about to… come…
"Brother Sect Master -".
The sudden wave caught Li Changshou off guard.
Li Changshou immediately retracted his attention. A wisp of his spiritual will landed on the Sea God Temple in Anshui City, which had already been completed. He used his spiritual will to build a bridge and bring Ao Yi into the dream.
What happened? Li Changshou had never neglected the dragon race. However, the dragon race had been stable recently and nothing major had happened. What should have been done had still been done.
"Brother Sect Master!"
In the dream, Ao Yi, who was dressed in a golden-patterned white brocade robe, looked even more delicate and refined. He jumped in front of Li Changshou and immediately bowed.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Look at how happy you are. Is there any good news?" "Hehe, Brother, do you have anything important to do these few days?"
After hearing Ao Yi's question, Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "There's something I have to do. I'll be busy for half a month. Could it be that there's something you want me to do?"
Ao Yi could not help but pause. He frowned and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell Ao Yi that you need help handling something? I am willing to help you!" "It's fine. I'm just looking for something."
Li Changshou shook his head with a smile and asked, "Do you have anything to do here?"
"It's not something important." Ao Yi hurriedly said, "However, Aunt-Master Qin Wan from Golden Ao Island looked for me and asked if I could invite you to the Golden Ao Island for a banquet. In three days' time, an Aunt-Master and an Uncle-Master will become Dao companions on the Golden Ao Island. Everyone wants to take the opportunity to have some fun."
"I won't go." Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. "Later, send someone to Anshui City. I'll prepare a gift for them. Just help me to deliver it."
"Alright." Ao Yi immediately nodded and agreed. Then, he looked at Li Changshou with concern. "Brother, if you have something to do, please tell me!"
"Don't worry." Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Ao Yi's shoulder.
Ao Yi knew that he was a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. It was not impossible for him to make use of Ao Yi to get the experts of the dragon race to help him facilitate the operations in Ci Tie City. However, the dragon race had been troubled by too many things recently. He had to lessen the burden on them. Li Changshou smiled and said, "I won't be polite to you."
Ao Yi grinned and quickly ran away.
There was a joyous occasion on Golden Ao Island…
Li Changshou thought about it and felt that that matter should not have anything to do with him. It should not affect the important matters that he had to do.
He had to continue preparing for battle!
Hence, three days later… an hour before Li Changshou was getting ready to fight, hundreds of thousands of figures gathered outside a hall on Golden Ao Island.
In a corner of the hall, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, who was wearing a golden crown, frowned and looked at the empty main seat in the middle of the hall.
Goddess of Golden Light, who was dressed in a short skirt, walked over quickly from the side and asked softly, "Where's Eldest Senior Brother? Why isn't he here yet? Didn't Eldest Senior Brother come with you?"
The Goddess of Fire Spirit could not help but slap her forehead.
"Just now, he said that he smelled that a treasure was about to be born and wanted to go take a look. I really don't know where he is now."
"Well…" The Goddess of Golden Light thought for a while. She continued, "I've already said it previously. Eldest Senior Brother Duobao came personally to witness the two of them… What should we do?"
"Why don't we invite another eldest disciple over?"
"We can't go to the Green Touring Palace… How about this?" The Goddess of Golden Light hurriedly said, "I'll invite my two sworn brothers to rush to the nearest Three-Immortal Island together. Let's see if we can invite one of the three senior sisters over."
The Goddess of Fire Spirit looked a little guilty. "I'll go with you. I really…"
"Ah."
The two goddesses looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Chapter 291 Who Has No Personal Habits!?!
In a dense forest that was 150 kilometers outside of the city, the trees suddenly began to shake, and the grass on the ground gradually began bulging.
The soil then collapsed and turned into hundreds of deep circular pits.
Then, figures flew out of the circular pit…
A burly shield-armored man with a dignified face and a beautiful female archer quickly stood in formation in the forest. 5,000 people flew up in a square formation.
The fog and the clouds rose. There was a murderous aura in the forest.
A moment later, the ten phalanxes were formed. The 50,000 immortal soldiers were gathered there, all ready to set off!
Tens of thousands of figures filled the sky. They charged towards the oxen with mixed auras that were extraordinary.
"Immortal Bean Soldiers, attack!"
Li Changshou gave a simple order. The 50,000 Immortal Bean Soldiers slowly flew towards the city. They seemed to cover the sky.
Li Changshou had calculated that number repeatedly and finally decided on it.
If there were too many Immortal Bean Soldiers, it would be easy for the other party to fight with their lives on the line. They would soon be exposed.
If it was too little, it would not be enough to deter them.
At the same time, more than twenty Heaven Immortal realm paper effigies flew out from below and mixed into the gaps between the Immortal Bean Soldiers' formation.
In order to make it easier to command, Li Changshou placed the Heaven Immortal realm paper effigies in a group. Their main responsibility was to use the mystical ability to form soldiers and release the most powerful firepower…
Elite Pea Soldiers!
They were mighty and murderous. 50,000 Immortal Bean Soldiers were attacking the demon race's Ci Tie City!
Naturally, that was just a feint.
The real surprise attack should have approached silently and broken through the enemy's Great City-Protecting Array at the fastest speed possible. Then, it would rush into the array at lightning speed and cooperate with the decapitation operation. It would be good to use incapacitating agents and poisonous powder to deal with the miscellaneous troops and catch the enemy off guard.
This fake surprise attack seemed to have appeared suddenly in a domineering manner, but in reality, it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It only had the strength of three to four waves of attacks. Moreover, the designated goal of the battle was only to break the other party's Great City Defense Array…
Often, the more powerful an operation was, the more it would achieve other purposes other than the battle.
Only by doing his best to hide his troops would he be able to predict the true arrival of the battle…
At the same time, three Golden Immortal auras fluctuated and appeared outside the city. Two men and one woman stood in the air. Their faces were cold as they stared at the demon city.
The woman shouted, "Survivors of the demon race, come out and die!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the old man on the left extended his palm. Green lightning burst out from his palm and struck the Great City-Protecting Array of Ci Tie City. The array formation shook continuously and was almost torn apart…
The demons in the city were stunned.
A beautiful demoness of unknown species screamed, "Humans! Humans are attacking!"
The city was in chaos. Most of the demons panicked and fled in another direction.
A small number of demons were immediately enraged. They roared and rushed into the sky, but they were stopped by the mountain-protecting array formation. It made the city even more chaotic.
The gongs and drums were noisy, and the bell rang continuously. The sounds of cursing and crying were endless. Li Changshou observed the scene from various directions and could not help but feel emotional.
It was said that the demons were ferocious, and humans were afraid of demons.
However, the human race was now standing in front of the demons. They were making the demons feel the fear that they had suffered in the past.
Strength was the only criterion for survival in the Primordial World.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the three Golden Immortal realm paper effigies began to attack the array formation continuously.
The old ox demon in the Golden Immortal realm in the city rushed to the sky above the City Lord Residence. However, he did not dare to step out of the array formation. He only glared at the scene outside and kept roaring. He got the troops from all over the city to move and let the demons in the city exert their strength.
Soon, Li Changshou's eyes lit up. The old ox demon took out a horn and shouted into it.
He shook him!
The feint attack was much easier than Li Changshou had expected.
However, he could not be careless now. The treasure hunt had just begun.
Li Changshou's attention was mainly focused on the six Golden Immortal paper effigies. In order to leave enough mental energy to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations, the other paper effigies would only occasionally be distracted.
It was as if dozens of "screens" had been opened in his heart. Li Changshou observed his surroundings through the windows. He followed the script that he had written and continued to push forward the show.
The reaction of the demons in Ci Tie City far exceeded the chaos that Li Changshou had predicted. That reduced most of the pressure on Li Changshou.
At that moment, a crack appeared in the array formation in the valley to protect the place.
Dozens of strong figures rushed out of the array formation.
Their faces and figures were similar to that of humans. Most of them were pure ox demons that had transformed.
The male ox demon had a strong body. Their sturdy and rugged horns were the parts of their body that they were most proud of. The fur on their heads was dyed in various colors, and most of them looked like they had afros.
The nasal ring was an ornament that the male ox demons especially liked. Almost all the oxen had one.
They turned their heads and roared, "Gather at the village entrance! Bring your weapons! The humans are attacking!"
Clearly, that group of male ox demons was at the front line of the Primordial World's fashion industry…
The female ox demons were relatively ordinary compared to the male ox demons. There was nothing special about them. The female ox demons were strong and beautiful. Their bodies were slender. Even if their cultivation levels were slightly higher, they could not feel proud compared to the other members of their race. As for the female ox demons whose bodies were swollen, they still puffed out their chests and raised their heads high even if their cultivation levels were not high. They walked in the middle of the group of ox demons…
As soon as the cow demons rushed out of the valley's array formation, a gust of wind blew towards them!
There were a total of 46 Heaven Immortal realm experts in this batch of ox demons. Most of them were in the mid-stage and late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. However, none of them could detect the abnormality of the sand and leaves in the violent wind. They each rushed out of the wind and headed towards the city to provide support.
When the 46 Heaven Immortal realm ox demons rushed away, two majestic figures immediately rushed out from the depths of the valley. They let out two heaven-shaking "moos" from their mouths and emitted a domineering Golden Immortal realm pressure while charging to the city!
Li Changshou did not dare to be careless and waited patiently.
After the group of experts rushed out for a distance, a few sandstones and fallen leaves in the inner part of the array formation slowly merged with the ground…
They were naturally paper effigies who had used the transformation technique.
The most crucial step of the plan was to let the paper effigy enter the array formation the moment the array formation was activated.
It was not difficult for Li Changshou to break the array formation there. However, it would not be easy for him to enter without anyone noticing
The opportunity was fleeting. Fortunately, he had succeeded.
The eight paper effigies quickly scattered and tidied up the intelligence in the valley.
The terrain, the distribution of experts, the loopholes in the array…
Li Changshou's mind was quickly filled with all kinds of information. After carefully analyzing for a while, he was slightly stunned.
The scene inside was very different from what he had been imagining.
He thought that he had barged into a brutal campground of ruthless and determined soldiers but when he regained his senses, he realized that it was like a paradise…
The wooden houses were filled with laughter.
There were no patrolling guards who were on guard. There was only a group of demons who had just transformed and were playing in the fields. They were also hiding from their ox demon parents who were rushing over from afar to call them home.
What made Li Changshou feel a little regretful was that there was no negative karma there. Instead, there was a hint of auspiciousness amidst the peace.
Yes, he had confirmed that it was a place where treasures were hidden!
Since he had chosen to lure them away, he naturally had to follow through with that tactic.
The eight paper effigies that had sneaked into the place were split into two groups. Two of them stayed near the array formation and prepared to break the array formation to lure the enemy. There were also six paper effigies lying in ambush outside to provide support.
Six other paper effigies reached into the deep valley to search for the treasure.
Was that all he could do?
Of course not.
The 'Steadiness Sutra' had a saying that he could only adapt to the situation if he had more backup plans.
In order to make his actions more deceptive, the paper effigy that Li Changshou had really used to search for treasures was the 'Golden' paper effigy. At that moment, he used the manifestation technique to transform it into a flying bug and made it follow behind a paper effigy that was in the Heaven Immortal realm.
At that moment, 90% of Li Changshou's mind was already occupied. At that moment, he continued to multi-task. If he made a mistake, it would easily cause a complete collapse! Soon, Li Changshou locked onto the location of the treasure vault.
That place had the most restrictions and was the most tightly guarded.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and chose a plan. The six paper effigies brought the incapacitating agents underground and approached the treasure vault. They would attack the treasure vault later.
As for the 'Golden' Paper Effigy No. 4, it used Earth Escape to escape underground.
After the dozens of ox demon guards outside were knocked down by the incapacitating agents, the two paper effigies rushed out first and lured away the other party's experts. Then, the four paper effigies attacked the array formation outside the treasure vault. They threw miniature array formations that were meant to "self-destruct" at the array formation…
Amidst the chaos, the 'Golden' paper effigy touched the edge of the treasure vault.
He was just one step away! Li Changshou calmed himself down and controlled the paper effigy to press his left palm against the light of the restrictions in front of him. His immortal power erupted and he blasted open two layers of restrictions!
His immortal senses quickly probed forward and confirmed that there was no aura of living beings. The Five-Element escape technique caused his body to turn into a beam of light underground!
Heaven and Earth Escape!
Almost instantly, Li Changshou reached the core area of the treasure vault. With lightning speed, he rushed through the thick stone slabs of the treasure vault and entered the golden Cave Abode!
He was inside!
The walls were filled with weapons that emitted ferocious auras. A large number of precious materials that were emitting golden light were piled into a small mountain.
Li Changshou fixed his gaze on it and his expression changed.
Someone was there!
That was not all. Li Changshou could not see through that person's cultivation level at all. He had not discovered that person previously!
Moreover, the slightly plump Daoist was lying on the top of the treasure mountain and muttering in an intoxicated manner. His body kept wriggling in the treasures…
The main point was!
He did not have clothes… to cover his body…
Suddenly, the slightly plump Daoist who seemed to be drunk sat up and stared at Li Changshou.
Time seemed to have stood still!
"Hey! Look at the Dharma treasures!"
The slightly plump Daoist shouted with a voice that was like thunder. He raised his eyebrows and roared!
Dazzling light shone around him, condensing into daggers, spears, swords, axes, hooks, and tridents. He revealed the Ruyi Stone Pagoda and smashed it at Li Changshou!
Li Changshou could only shout, "I'm a disciple of Ren School!"
The paper effigy's figure was engulfed by dozens of numinous treasures. In the blink of an eye, it lost connection with his main body. The wisp of essence soul's power turned into residue…
On Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou stood still in a daze. He subconsciously controlled the paper effigies around him and was momentarily stunned.
He had a vague memory of that Daoist just now…
At the Three Sects' Meet, the person beside Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was the one who was that slightly plump Daoist…
"What kind of nonsense is this?"
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched wildly. A wisp of powerful immortal senses had already locked onto the other paper effigies.
Treasure hunting is solemn and sacred.
I picked up so many numinous treasures on the Treasure Splitting Cliff back then. Do I really lack treasures?
Daoist Duobao often asked himself that question, so he naturally did not lack an answer.
Not only did he not lack money, but he was also very wealthy. It was the same for any living being below the Saint.
When he made friends in Jie School, he would never look at their cultivation level or the number of numinous treasures they had. Anyway, it was impossible for them to have more than him.
Daoist Duo Bao was not stingy. Many outstanding disciples of Jie School had obtained the numinous treasures that he had given away.
However, it was difficult for him to suppress the urge to search for treasures. It was as if he was addicted.
When his cultivation level was low, he had to rely on mystical abilities to find treasures.
When his cultivation level was high, his mystical abilities improved. He could directly smell the signs of the heavenly secrets and find the treasures that were about to appear.
Today, he realized that a treasure was about to appear and came over to join in the fun.
Daoist Duobao's current cultivation level was already at the final step before he killed the three corpses. Duobao also knew that as long as he understood the matter regarding the "treasure", he would be able to enter a whole new realm.
However, how could he be enlightened and gain comprehension so easily? Almost everyone in the Primordial World knew that Daoist Duobao's main body was the first Treasure-Seeking Rat in the world.
When the Three Pure Ones split up, the main reason was that the Grandmaster of Heaven brought Duobao back to the Three Friends' Courtyard and even accepted Duobao as his eldest disciple. It made the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning feel that he had been offended…
Daoist Duobao had never felt that there was anything wrong with his background. That was why meeting his master was his greatest blessing who had given him the best opportunity.
However, treasure-seeking was like a demon in his heart that he could not get rid of, thus causing him to hunt for treasure since the ancient times until today.
It couldn't be helped. The process of treasure hunting was filled with intoxicating charm for him. It could make him forget himself and feel the most basic rhythm of the Great Dao.
The difficulty of finding treasures was all for the satisfaction and joy of finding treasures!
When he hugged the treasure, felt the pulse of the Great Dao, and was immersed in his own Dao…
There is nothing in the world that can satisfy me more than this!
Daoist Duobao praised in his heart.
Is it wrong to have intimate contact with treasures?
Is there a problem?
This is a realm!
"Ahem." Daoist Duobao sat on the treasure pile and lowered his head to wipe his face. His clothes, which were formed from immortal power, had already appeared on his body. There was even a layer of real Daoist robes on the outside.
So awkward.
Isn't the Little Sea God of Ren School still outside? Why did he suddenly appear here?
Eh, that's not right. The thing I smashed into ashes just now seemed to be in the Golden Immortal realm…
He seethed.
Could it be the main body of the Little Sea God of Ren School?
If he had killed the disciple whom his Aunt-Master valued in a moment of anger, it would be terrible! Daoist Duobao hurriedly jumped down from the pile of treasures. When he realized that he had only destroyed a paper effigy, he heaved a sigh of relief. He retracted the three-hundred-odd treasures that he had thrown out in batches.
It's all my fault for being too intoxicated just now…
How embarrassing! Daoist Duobao had found that place an hour ago. The treasure-seeking Daoist Master quickly discovered the paper effigies that Li Changshou had secretly set up. At that time, Daoist Duobao understood that the appearance of the treasure should be related to the Sea God…
Now, the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had almost become synonymous with the Sea God.
Daoist Duobao secretly locked onto a paper effigy and tried to deduce it. After discovering the warning from the Taiji Painting, he naturally verified the identity of the person who was controlling the paper effigies.
However, Daoist Duobao did not care much. What he liked was the joy of searching for treasures and the feeling of finding a weak living being.
Daoist Duobao had originally planned to leave after finding the treasure. He did not want to disturb the Little Sea God of Ren School.
In fact, he would even give the Little Sea God a small gift and form some good ties with him.
At that moment, Daoist Duobao silently entered the treasure vault of the ox demons. He gathered the treasures together and lay on them. He was intoxicated and mesmerized as he waited for the moment before the Sea God's paper effigy arrived.
Daoist Duobao was naturally confident that Li Changshou would not be able to see him leave.
However, what he focused on was the eight paper effigies outside…
Unexpectedly… the other party had given him a shock after Duobao gave him a surprise.
"Why did he suddenly appear from underground?"
Daoist Duobao smacked his head and quickly thought about how to resolve the matter. However, he was vexed and confused. For a moment, he did not have any good ideas. Therefore, without caring about anything else, Daoist Duobao took out a violet gold alms bowl from his chest pocket. He raised his hand, and the alms bowl shook slightly before disappearing At the same time, an alms bowl that was 500 kilometers in diameter descended from the sky and enveloped the entire city and valley.

Chapter 292 The Copper Coin of Treasurefall!
Actually… Li Changshou had set up more than that for his treasure hunt this time.
At that moment, in the various parts of the Middle Continent and the South Continent, there were terrain maps of seven to eight Headless Mountains, the Great River, and valley. There were numerous paper effigies and immortal bean soldiers buried there.
Those places were all desolate and uninhabited. However, Li Changshou would create a scene after the battle and leave some traces of the sect being "destroyed".
Those were all protective measures.
Li Changshou had considered everything beforehand.
As long as he searched for treasures, he would leave traces behind. Moreover, it would be too difficult for him to take the ox demon's treasure without alarming them.
As for Fuxi, Xuanyuan, Shennong, and Da Yu, the four big shots, they knew of the treasure-seeking route.
It is inevitable that there will be some commotion. If people know about it, the risk of exposing my main body will continue to exist.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Changshou only had two options. He could either give up on searching for treasures and find other ways to enrich himself, such as studying the mystical techniques that Senior Xuanyuan had given him or he could make more arrangements and use his identity as the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts to search for treasures in various regions.
That would leave some interference information that would minimize the possibility of his main body and tracks being exposed.
In that case, those who did not know his treasure-seeking route would only know that the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts was causing trouble.
Those who knew about Li Changshou's treasure-seeking path would not be able to directly determine where Li Changshou's main body was when he entered the Fire Cloud Cave. Although he still had to consider the fact that the Immortal Du Sect was a faction of Ren School, Li Changshou still had plans to roam the Little Qiong Peak.
It was not that Li Changshou did not trust the four retired human emperors. The main point was that there were not only the Three Kings and Five Emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave. There were also the three-thousand-odd concubines…
In order to coordinate with the overall situation, Li Changshou could not cause too many demon casualties in Ci Tie City and the Ox Demon Valley.
In fact, the moment he saw the ox demon's treasure vault, Li Changshou had already decided not to touch the treasures and weapons. He only wanted to find the opportunity that he was destined to encounter.
However, now, those comprehensive arrangements and meticulous arrangements had been completely… lost.
Why…
Li Changshou was asking himself that question repeatedly.
Why exactly?
I used so many resources and launched a full-scale feint attack. I even lost a Golden Immortal realm paper effigy. Yet, my only gain was…
Ding! You have discovered the eccentricity of the big shots of Jie School.
Who could I reason with!?!
In his previous life, Li Changshou had seen all kinds of strange situations under the pressure of society. He did not feel that such a matter was embarrassing. The big shots were also living beings. All living beings were not perfect. That was the natural Dao.
However, why did Daoist Duobao appear?
Why is it so difficult for me to find a Postnatal treasure? Must I defeat Daoist Duobao?
Li Changshou groaned and realized that he was a little overwhelmed. He immediately recited the Heart-Calming Incantation to calm himself down.
If anything happened, there would naturally be an emergency plan.
I thought about it before…
Forget it, I really did not consider that situation previously!
At that moment, the violet-gold alms bowl covered the ground and sealed off an area of 500 kilometers.
Li Changshou's paper effigy looked up and immediately made the most rational decision.
Self-destruct! At that moment, the army of Immortal Bean Soldiers was still a distance away from the city.
The Immortal Bean Soldiers were like a timer. When they arrived in front of the array formation outside the city, it was Li Changshou's "time of execution".
Unfortunately, it was useless now.
Li Changshou gave the Immortal Bean Soldiers a command to stay still. The twenty-odd paper effigies that had mixed with the Immortal Bean Soldiers made a uniform movement.
They raised their hands and supported the sky!
Balls of True Samadhi Flames surged out of the paper effigies' palms and transformed into fire dragons that wreaked havoc in the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Immortal Bean Soldiers were completely ignited!
The army of soldiers that was in charge of pretending to attack and giving pressure were all products of mystical abilities. At that moment, they were being corroded by the True Flames condensed by Li Changshou's Golden Immortal realm immortal power. In the blink of an eye, the twenty paper effigies were engulfed by the flames and turned into ashes that filled the sky!
Li Changshou did not feel any pain for such a loss.
The Immortal Bean Soldiers could only exist for twelve hours at most. After that, they would disperse their immortal powers and self-destruct.
The paper effigies that were not in the Golden Immortal realm only consumed the spiritual trees on the Little Qiong Peak.
Soon after, while the violet-gold alms bowl descended and the immortal bean soldiers burned themselves, the demons in the city were stunned. The three Golden Immortal realm demons outside the city were in a panic. The three Golden Immortal paper effigies, which were entangled with the three big bull demons, unleashed their immortal powers and blasted the three demons away! The three paper effigies turned around and used Wind Escape, instantly disappearing from the other party's line of sight and immortal senses.
Li Changshou's paper effigy had an obvious characteristic. Its combat strength was average, but its escape technique was definitely superior to those of the same level… In the wind, only the "human woman" remained. "You guys are impressive!" The three experts from the ox demon clan were stunned. How are they impressive? We had just exchanged a few blows. Aren't we still testing each other?
The paper effigy, which did not appear in the Ox Demon Valley, immediately used Earth Escape and hid deep underground.
The paper effigies which had already appeared activated the self-destructing restrictions in unison. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ashes, water, lightning, and feathers.
Hence, the ox demons were extremely puzzled.
In the previous moment, Ci Tie City and the treasure vault of the valley were in danger. The human Qi Refinement cultivators were aggressive. In the next moment, the sky was filled with ashes. The powerful enemy disappeared without a trace. A violet-gold alms bowl covered a thousand kilometers.
Is this a dream?
Is it an illusion array?
What schemes do the humans have?!
The "wise ones" of the ox demons could not help but put their hands on their foreheads. They felt that their heads were about to explode.
"Damn it, what are these humans doing?" "I understand! Tens of thousands of humans sacrificed themselves to the heavens to unleash such an evil mystical ability!"
An old ox pointed at the cage-like alms bowl and shouted, "Our clan is in danger! Ci Tie City is in danger!"
Hence, miserable cries could be heard everywhere in the city…
The demons felt the pressure emitted by the violet-gold alms bowl. They sensed the vast Dharma powers that made the demons despair. The entire Ci Tie City and the Ox Demon Valley fell into another round of panic… That had nothing to do with Li Changshou.
At that moment, Li Changshou had already gathered the five Golden Immortal realm paper effigies. One of the paper effigies put away the other four and hid deep underground.
There was no choice. Li Changshou's paper effigies were also trapped in the alms bowl. Originally, Li Changshou was prepared to destroy the five Golden Immortal realm paper effigies too.
However, before he attacked, he sensed the immortal senses that were locked onto him and he looked at the alms bowl above his head…
If he just destroyed them, the karma between him and Daoist Duobao would be officially formed.
Who was Daoist Duobao?
He was the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School and the eldest disciple of the Grandmaster of Heaven. He was a big shot of the Dao Sect who could sit at the same table as the Great Daoist Master.
How could Daoist Duobao be at peace when Li Changshou had accidentally discovered some of his personal secrets?
Furthermore, he had used the "Sea God Set" for this operation. Daoist Duobao would be blocked by the Taiji Painting if he made any deductions. Naturally, he could set his focus on the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts.
He had to think of a way quickly.
If he could not do it, he would swear a Great Dao oath and guarantee that he would not spread the news.
No, it can't be that simple…
"Ah…"
Scouring for treasures would make three generations live in poverty and hunting for treasures would ruin his life. In the future, I should not think about enriching myself. I should just focus on creating mystical abilities, array formations, and pills. What a profound lesson!
Later, I'll copy the 'Steadiness Sutra' 9,000… Forget it, I'll do it 3,000 times and get my junior sister to supervise me. I'll reflect on why I suddenly have a desire for superficial items like numinous treasures.
"Um! That!"
Suddenly, Li Changshou's paper effigy heard a voice transmission.
"Little Sea God, oh no, Little Sea God, why don't you come to the treasure vault again?"
Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy and made a Dao salute. He looked at the array formation outside the Ox Demon Valley.
Just as he was in a dilemma, Daoist Duobao's voice sounded again.
This time, he gave him a hidden path. It was the treasure-hunting path that Daoist Duobao had previously dug out and opened up.
A moment later, in the ox demons' treasure vault.
The two figures looked at each other while standing 30 feet apart. Time seemed to have frozen again.
On the left, there a middle-aged Qi Refinement cultivator was dressed in a black Daoist robe. He was naturally Li Changshou's paper effigy.
On the right, Daoist Duobao was dressed in a light yellow Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk. His entire body was emitting rich Dao runes, and he maintained a stiff smile on his slightly plump face… They fell into an awkward situation again. On the other hand, the disciples of a certain sect who had made some achievements in the aspect of livening up the atmosphere could not find any words that were appropriate and relaxed. Daoist Duobao said, "Sea…" "Huh?" Li Changshou looked surprised. He smiled and asked, "Senior, why are you here?"
"I… Ahahaha!"
Daoist Duobao raised his head and laughed loudly. He flicked his horsetail whisk and smiled. "I happened to pass by this place. Fellow Daoist Sea God, are you searching for treasures here?"
"Hahahahaha… What a coincidence. Senior, you also discovered that there are treasures here?"
"I happened to smell it." Daoist Duobao squinted and smiled. He carried his horsetail whisk and approached Li Changshou.
Li Changshou subconsciously wanted to take half a step back, but he forced himself to take half a step forward. "Senior, since you like the treasures here, I'll take my leave!" "Hey!"
Duobao smiled and grabbed Li Changshou's arm. "It's fate that we met today. I am the eldest disciple of Teacher, the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School. How can I snatch the treasures from Fellow Daoist Sea God? Come, I'll help you. Don't let yourself return empty-handed! Although this demon is not famous, there are indeed a few treasures hidden here!"
Li Changshou muttered in his heart.
From the looks of it, Big Boss Duobao is not going to pursue the matter from before?
After Daoist Duobao finished speaking, he pointed his horsetail whisk at the pile of treasures that had formed a small mountain. The treasures immediately turned into streams of light and flew towards the empty corners of the treasure vault, returning to their original positions.
Even before Li Changshou said anything, Daoist Duobao took the initiative to say, "I believe you don't fancy any Dharma treasures or Dharma artifacts here. Come, take a look at the treasure here!"
Li Changshou could not help but become more energetic. He followed the direction of Daoist Duobao's horsetail whisk and saw… a five-feet-tall bronze ox statue. The copper ox had its head raised. Its tail also curled up. All four of its hooves were stepped on the clouds made of bronze, and its two eyes protruded to the left and right.
That was the supreme treasure of the ox demons. The frivolous ox was playing a fool, ahem, it was a young ox that was turning stone into gold!
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "In the past, there was an expert in the demon race. He was transformed from the Primordial Demon Beast, Ci Tie. His most proud ability was to swallow ordinary treasures and obtain all kinds of essence gold. After Ci Tie died in ancient times, his demon core remained in the bronze statue. Therefore, the bronze statue has such a function. Although it's not a treasure used for protection during fights, it's also an extremely rare treasure that can be used for making money."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Although this treasure was good, he could not bring it back to Little Qiong Peak. However, it was useless.
"Well…" Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked," Senior, are there any other treasures here? To be honest, I received guidance from an expert and learned that there is a treasure here that is fated with me. That's why I put in so much effort to enter this place."
"Oh?"
Daoist Duobao blinked and immediately perked up. "What treasure are you looking for? In terms of treasure hunting, I'm considered good among those below the Saint in the five continents." "I don't know either." Li Changshou looked at the green ox statue and whispered, "But it should be a protective treasure."
"There's no hurry. I'll help you!"
At that moment, Daoist Duobao reached his left hand into his sleeve and rolled it. There were clanging sounds inside. Daoist Duobao quickly took out a few ice-blue-colored butterflies.
"This is the Treasure Seeking Spirit Butterfly."
After a simple introduction, Daoist Duobao raised the jade butterflies. One flew towards the bronze ox statue, while the other flew to the left and right corners and landed on a treasure armor and a short bow.
The fourth jade butterfly flew out of the cave… Li Changshou looked at the armor and longbow and hurriedly said, "Senior!" "There's no hurry. I'll knock out the living beings here first." Daoist Duobao waved his horsetail whisk, and a light blue ripple appeared on it.
The ripples slowly spread out, and the entire Ox Clan valley became extremely quiet.
Li Changshou extended his immortal senses and discovered that all the demons, regardless of their cultivation level, were unconscious. He could not help but be speechless.
At that moment, Duobao rushed out of the cave excitedly while Li Changshou followed behind.
The Jade Butterfly was fearless of array formations and restrictions. It flew past the somewhat chaotic venue in front of the treasure vault, passed through the stone houses and tall buildings, and floated towards a wooden hut at the edge of the valley. Finally, it entered the wooden hut.
When Li Changshou and Duobao rushed over, they realized that the Jade Butterfly had stopped on a dirty cloth bag. Li Changshou picked up the cloth bag and poured it out. A few puppets dropped, and two copper coins landed in his palm.
This is!
Really! Li Changshou's Dao heart trembled. He was full of admiration for the divination technique of Fuxi! "Come, let me take a look!"
Daoist Duobao stuck his head out.
A few thoughts flashed across Li Changshou's mind. He held the copper coin with both hands and said, "Senior, please take a look." Daoist Duobao's expression was very solemn. He picked up the copper coin and scrutinized
Then, he praised, "Good stuff, good stuff! These are the first two copper coins that you humans have made. You used them to set up the system of commerce. There is a lot of merits hidden in them. However, now that the treasure is covered in dust and does not appear in front of others, you only need to use my merit to nurture it later to make it reveal its true appearance!"
Daoist Duobao placed the copper coin back onto Li Changshou's palm. "Congratulations, my young friend. This treasure can be used to protect yourself!"
Li Changshou immediately felt at ease. He bowed to Daoist Duobao and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior. I'm very grateful!"
"Hey, what help? You're treating me like an outsider!"
Daoist Duobao squinted and smiled. "I'm being too careless. I'll also call you Changgeng. It's a joyous occasion that Changgeng obtained a treasure today! I have to give him a congratulatory gift no matter what!" Li Changshou hurriedly said, "I have already received help from you, Senior. How can I take your gift?"
Duobao glared at him. "Why? Are you looking down on me? Master gave me my name!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Is he determined to give me hush money? "Come, come, come!" Daoist Duobao opened his sleeve and said, "You can choose any of the thousands of numinous treasures inside. If you can't take a treasure as tall as you, you will not be giving me enough respect. I will also fly into a rage."
Report chapter
Chapter 293 Obtaining the Five-Element Pearls Again
What should I do when a big shot who I can't beat wants to seal my lips with a gift?
Li Changshou's first reaction was to reject him.
He had already obtained the treasure that he liked. If he took more treasures, he would owe Daoist Duobao karma.
However, Daoist Duobao… was too generous!
Seeing that Li Changshou was too embarrassed to extend his hand, Daoist Duobao shook his sleeve. The entire valley was instantly illuminated by the light of treasures.
The Postnatal numinous treasures, which were full of spirituality, slowly rippled around Li Changshou. From top to bottom, left to right, they completely surrounded Li Changshou seamlessly! Li Changshou, who had almost been blinded by the light of the treasures, silently raised his hand to cover his chest.
It was very painful there.
What kind of "treasure uncle" would be able to take out hundreds or thousands of treasures so calmly and tell him to choose whatever he wanted? At the very least, he had to take away something that was as tall as him.
Something as tall as me…
Does that mean that the treasures he takes out would be as tall as me after being stacked together?
Then, there would be a huge difference between taking pearls and taking pagodas, depending on if he placed them together horizontally or stacked them vertically…
"How is it? Do you like any of these?"
Daoist Duobao smiled calmly outside the circle of numinous treasures. "If there's nothing you like, I'll give you a few more batches to choose from. We can slowly pick some out!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He seemed to have seen Daoist Duobao wearing a huge golden chain around his neck, a huge golden watch on his hand, and a golden silk robe. He sat in a round chair and leaned back.
What is a treasure-hunting professional?
This is too exciting! Then, Li Changshou realized something sadly…
Previously, he had gotten the treasure-seeking paper effigies to move around in the Middle Continent. In his boredom, he had made a "Primordial Spirit Treasure Record" and collected all kinds of famous numinous treasures. Back then, he thought that he had already gotten to know most of the Primordial Spirit Treasures.
When Li Changshou saw Daoist Duobao display his treasures today, he realized that he knew too little.
The treasures flying around him were all Postnatal numinous treasures. There were even a few top-grade Postnatal numinous treasures!
Treasures that were not Postnatal or lacked spirituality would never appear in Daoist Duobao's collection!
The quality of those treasures was not low and they were rather powerful. They were rarely revealed in front of others. Daoist Duobao only used them as bricks, so they were not famous and were not known by others.
That name list is a younger brother. Let's add the word 'little' in front.
"Senior." Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute. He wanted to wave his hand, clench his fists, and shout domineeringly, "I want all of them." However, he ultimately suppressed his impulse. He could not deepen the karma between him and Jie School.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission.
"The Great Daoist Master has instructed me that my cultivation is not deep enough. I cannot rely on Dharma treasures, lest I neglect my cultivation. If you insist on giving me a gift, Senior, why don't you give me a set of Five Elements numinous treasures of the same grade? I've been studying some Five-Element Arrays recently, and I can use them. The Great Daoist Master had said that no matter how many treasures I have, they cannot be integrated into my Great Dao. It would not benefit my cultivation. I'll swear that it's my first time meeting you, Senior. I didn't see anything previously."
The 'Heaven' No. 1 shield – Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.
At that moment, Li Changshou recited the Great Dao oath in a clear voice. He said that if he spread what he had seen previously, the Heavenly Dao would punish him.
Duobao pondered for a while and looked at Li Changshou with a complicated gaze. He sighed and said, "Changgeng, don't be like this. I trust your character."
As he spoke, Daoist Duobao smiled. He opened his sleeve and retrieved all the numinous treasures. He looked at Li Changshou apologetically. "Changgeng, your cultivation level is not high and you are still young. How can your words be so memorable? Indeed, no matter how many treasures you have, it would be useless. One or two Connate numinous treasures that can protect the Dao and suppress your destiny would be enough. At the end of the day, you can't integrate them into my Great Dao."
Duobao sighed deeply and said, "Wait a moment. I remember that I have collected a set of treasures for thousands of years. It happens to belong to the Five Elements."
Li Changshou held the Copper Coin of Treasurefall and could not help but look forward to it.
Daoist Duobao fumbled in his sleeve for a while. He was about to reach his entire arm in to fish out five pearls of different colors.
The five pearls were obviously a set of Dharma treasures. They contained the power of the Five Elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The power of the Five Elements was extremely pure without any impurities. If the Earth Elemental Pearl that Youqin Xuanya had given him was only an Elementary Five-Element Pearl, the five pearls today were the limit of Postnatal treasures!
Daoist Duobao raised his hand and pushed them over. The five pearls slowly flew over and rotated around Li Changshou.
Li Changshou did not know what kind of mystical ability Daoist Duobao had used, but the five pearls had already recognized him as their master. They sent him a warm message, and many insights regarding the Five-Element Dao Techniques surfaced in his heart…
Li Changshou opened his hands and the five pearls flew over slowly. They landed in Li Changshou's palm and floated up and down.
Just as he was about to put away the treasure and thank Duo Bao, Li Changshou suddenly exclaimed softly. He felt a wisp of ethereal Dao runes that seemed to contain the concept of transcendence in the five pearls… Can the five beads be considered Connate numinous treasure?
Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. Using such Connate numinous treasures as the core of the array formation of Little Qiong Peak was too much of a waste.
"Senior, this pearl is too precious…"
"Hey!"
Daoist Duobao frowned. "Changgeng, are you looking down on me? It's just a little trinket. Keep it. I've already said that this is a form of apology for hurting your incarnation!"
"Thank you for the treasure, Senior!"
Li Changshou bowed and put the Five-Element Pearls and the pair of Copper Coins of Treasurefall in the two treasure pouches.
He had not wasted the effort that he had put in in the past six months.
Daoist Duobao seemed to have let go of something. There was a hint of relief in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Changgeng, come with me… Eh? Why is he here?"
Who?
Li Changshou was wary. Daoist Duobao raised his hand and pointed at the sky. The violet gold alms bowl that enveloped a radius of 500 kilometers trembled and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in Duobao's palm and turned into an alms bowl that had a five-inch diameter. It was stowed back in Duobao's sleeve.
Then, Duobao raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou's arm. "Let's go!"
After saying that, he jumped lightly. The environment around the two of them changed and appeared… in the cave that Li Changshou had just walked through, which had been dug out by Daoist Duo Bao.
The cave was no small matter. It was a treasure cave that the eldest disciple of Jie School had dug. Its concealment was excellent.
The two of them squatted in the corner of the treasure cave. Daoist Duobao took out a mirror, which was a treasure, from his chest pocket and exhaled at it. A white cloud appeared in the mirror at lightning speed.
An old Daoist priest sat on the white cloud. There was a faint cloud around him.
However, Daoist Duo Bao spat at the mirror again. The clouds slowly dissipated, revealing the old Daoist priest's true appearance. He was dressed in a brown Daoist robe and had a square face. He placed his hands on his temples and ears. There was a bronze lamp on his shoulder. Isn't he the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, Daoist Randeng?
Daoist Duobao was afraid that Li Changshou did not know him. He took the initiative to introduce him. "This is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. According to him, he is of the same generation as the three of us. I usually have to call him Uncle-Master when I see him."
Li Changshou was enlightened. He hurriedly said, "Senior, if he's still far away, let's leave first."
"He saw my alms bowl and has seen me using it before…"
Daoist Duobao pondered for a while and said, "I'm not busy. Let's see what he's doing here first. Although he's a senior of our Dao Sect, I'm not afraid of him."
"Don't worry. Even if Daoist Randeng is the Deputy Sect Master, he is just an outsider. The three old masters value the Dao heritage the most. He is a disciple of the sect. If Deputy Sect Master Randeng is also here to search for treasures, I'll secretly place a few treasures here and let him take them."
For some reason, Li Changshou could tell that Daoist Duobao was unhappy with Daoist Randeng Hence, he felt much more at ease.
According to Li Changshou's deduction, Randeng should have come for the Copper Coin of Treasurefall.
If that was the case, the scene of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao snatching away the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl with the Copper Coins of Treasurefall in the God-Conferment Story would definitely be a good show for the director of the Burning Lamp. He would have brought Master Zhao into the trap!
Today, he had taken away the Copper Coins of Treasurefall and ended everything that would happen in the future. He had also lost the opportunity to seize the Sea God's Pearl… Could it be that Randeng had sensed something? Li Changshou said, "Senior, I've also come into contact with the Deputy Sect Master of the Burning Lamp Sect. I'm afraid I've offended him previously." "Oh?"
Daoist Duobao could not help but be interested. "How did you have a conflict with him?"
In a few words, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to tell Daoist Duobao about the conversation he had with Randeng previously.
He naturally could not tell the truth. He could only say that he did not know the senior from Chan School in the beginning and had "accidentally" cursed Lan Ling. He did not say that Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long were watching from the side. Daoist Duobao tasted it carefully. A look of realization appeared on his slightly plump face. He could not help but laugh and raise his hand to hit Li Changshou gently twice.
"Why are you so scheming!?! Hahahaha! I can't see this scene with my own eyes. It's really a
pity."
Li Changshou asked softly, "Senior, you seem to be…"
"Ah." Duobao shook his head. "There are some things that we should not mention!"
Normally, hearing such words meant that the person who spoke desperately wanted to complain. Li Changshou took advantage of the situation and said seriously, "I want to understand more, lest something goes wrong in the future."
Hence, Duobao sighed softly.
He said, "In the past tens of thousands of years, there has been endless friction between the two sects. Fellow Daoists from Chan School often cause trouble for no reason. Sometimes, there will be fellow disciples who will say something wrong. Every time something like that happens, it's mostly me who has to settle it. After a while, I've come into contact with this senior. Tsk… Changgeng, you should avoid interacting with this senior, who's an expert, in the future. You should pay more attention to what you say to him. Don't let anything slip and don't let him have something against you. This senior, hehe, his thoughts are very complicated!"
Li Changshou roughly understood. At the same time, how far could an expert like Duobao and Randeng detect with their immortal senses?
After talking for a long time, the image in the mirror was still the same. If not for the clouds that were retreating quickly, Li Changshou would have thought that there was something wrong with the mirror. Just as he was about to ask, Li Changshou's immortal senses captured the figure of Randeng
As soon as his immortal senses captured the figure of Randeng, it appeared in the sky above the Ox Demon Valley in the blink of an eye. A mighty pressure filled the sky.
The ox demons, who were still in a coma, shivered in their dreams.
Daoist Duobao's detection range…
His detection range…
Li Changshou felt an inexplicable sense of helplessness in his heart. He had originally thought that since he had become a Golden Immortal and had the backing of the Ren School, he would have the ability to obtain some small numinous treasures in the Primordial World.
I should copy the 'Steadiness Sutra' 9,000 times.
Yes, I'll let Junior Sister do half of it for me. If I need anything, Junior Sister will do it.
"He's coming, he's coming!"
Daoist Duobao said in a low voice. His eyes lit up. He held his breath with Li Changshou and paid attention to the changes in the mirror.
At that moment, they retracted their immortal senses to prevent themselves from being detected by Randeng. The mirror in Duobao's hand was naturally a probing-type numinous treasure. Its concealment and anti-detection abilities were outstanding. Randeng sat on the cloud and circled the place twice. Then, he took out the Glazed Pagoda and raised his hand to give it away. In the blink of an eye, the pagoda became thousands of feet tall. Immortal light surged out from the tip of the pagoda, and in the blink of an eye, it covered an area of 500 kilometers. The demons of Ci Tie City were speechless.
"Hmph!"
Randeng flicked his finger at the city, and the array formation instantly shattered.
"The person in charge of this place, come and reply."
The cold voice, coupled with the pressure that Daoist Randeng was exuding, caused the demons in the city who had yet to recover from the suppression of the violet gold alms bowl to fall into chaos again. Not long after, the three ox demons in the Golden Immortal realm arrived in front of Randeng. They snorted and bent their knees, subconsciously crouching in the air.
"Greetings, Senior!"
"Cut the crap," Randeng said coldly. "Is this your race's territory?".
"Yes, it's our territory."
Randeng asked again, "What happened here previously? If you're lying, your race will cease to exist today."
At that moment, the three ox demons spoke one after another, and hurriedly explained everything that had happened previously.
According to the description of the ox demons, they were first attacked by a group of human troops with unknown origins. However, the other party immediately retreated after appearing for a moment. It seemed that he had used some kind of trick.
Then, the violet gold alms bowl appeared and enveloped a radius of 500 kilometers…
Randeng sat on the white cloud and kept pinching his fingers to calculate. His frown deepened.
He had been cultivating in the Jade Void Palace when he suddenly felt a sense of danger. After some calculations, he realized that the treasure that had a deep connection to his Dao Fruit had been taken away!
The warning was purely a resonance between his Dao and the heavenly secrets. It would only let him know what happened. He did not know the details.
Randeng immediately used his Glazed Cup to deduce carefully. Following a wisp of heavenly secrets, he deduced the exact location of the incident and immediately rushed over.
However, what Randeng did not know was…
At the same time that he arrived at the valley, Li Changshou had already diverted some of his attention and started to disguise himself in the terrain of the six regions of the Middle Continent that were similar to each other…
At the same time, Li Changshou's main body flew out of the Little Qiong Peak on a cloud and went to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
It was time to offer incense to the Saint again.
a
ce
Just as Li Changshou flew to the Hundred Mortal Hall, Randeng, who was above the Ox Demon Valley, had already figured out what was going on. Randeng first swept his gaze across the three Golden Immortal realm ox demons and said coldly, "Go to the treasure vault of your race and investigate if you have missed anything. Then, wake your clansmen up and ask them one by one what they have lost. I'll give you an hour. If you're not on time, don't blame me for being ruthless." The three ox demons hurriedly lowered their heads and agreed. They hurriedly landed in the valley.
They had confirmed that he was a ruthless person who could destroy their race with a lift of his finger!
After the ox demon left, the glass lamp on the shoulder of Randeng shone brightly. Randeng spoke again, his voice spreading to the sky and the ground within 500 kilometers.
"Disciple-Nephew Duobao, why don't you appear? The treasure you took away is fated with me. I'm willing to exchange it with favors."
In the treasure cave, Daoist Duobao pursed his lips and immediately went out to confront Li Changshou. He even sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
"Did you see that? The Deputy Sect Master is so confident. He can't even bear to take the treasures. He wants to take the treasures from me just by offering to give me a favor!"
"Does he think I'm a treasure-disperser? Hmph, since I'm here, what's wrong with going out to meet him?" "Senior!"
Li Changshou grabbed Daoist Duobao's arm in time and sent a voice transmission. "Senior, this is just a lie. If you don't believe me, just watch. He will definitely say the next sentence after a while. If it's not something like 'Why? Do I still have to personally invite you out?' It would be 'Disciple-Nephew, are you trying to blow this matter up?'"
Daoist Duobao blinked and was slightly apprehensive.
However, Randeng was really a little anxious. Just as Li Changshou finished speaking, Daoist Randeng frowned and said, "Why? Do you need me to invite you out?"

Chapter 294 Yun Xiao's Three Questions To Make Randeng Retreat
In the cave, Daoist Duobao blinked when he heard Randeng. Then, he laughed silently and patted Li Changshou's back…
"Hahaha, Changgeng, you're really something! Quick, what else will he say next?"
Li Changshou pondered for a while. The paper effigy's immortal power was a little unstable from the slap. He sent a voice transmission, "It's not easy to deduce what this senior will say next. However, there should be two scenarios. One is that he will be emotional, and the other is that he will threaten and try to coerce you with benefits."
He continued, "There's a high chance that it's the former. This Deputy Sect Master wants to talk about the relationship between the three sects and their families." Daoist Duobao immediately listened attentively. In the valley, Randeng scanned the surroundings. The Glazed Cup scanned the surroundings, but it did not find anything. This time, he paused for a while. When he saw the chaos in the valley, he spoke again. This time, Randeng's voice was like muffled thunder. It made the ox demons feel a little dizzy. Those with lower cultivation levels than the Golden Immortal realm could not understand what the Burning Lamp was saying. Li Changshou naturally understood that the method Randeng used was indeed similar to what he had imagined…
What Randeng said was:
"Disciple-Nephew Duobao, if I have offended you in the past, please forgive me. However, the heavenly secret predicts that this treasure is greatly fated with me. I cannot lose it today. The three sects were originally one, and the Dao Sect's luck is flourishing. As the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, I have a deep relationship with you. Why do you have to make things difficult for me today?"
In the cave, Daoist Duobao turned to look at Li Changshou. After smiling, he could not help but feel puzzled.
He smiled and asked, "Changgeng, do you have any ability to predict the thoughts that others have? You're right again!" "Actually, I'm just familiar with this trick."
"Trick?"
"Yes, they're just some commonly used techniques. Under such circumstances, the Deputy Sect Master is likely to only use these few tricks. At this moment, he is not sure if we have already left. If he has discovered our tracks, he should have forced us to appear before threatening us…"
Li Changshou chuckled and explained to Daoist Duobao.
Daoist Duobao kept nodding when he heard that. He recalled the dozens of times he had interacted with Randeng previously. The slightly plump eldest senior brother of Jie School was slightly angry. He cursed Li Changshou via voice transmission. "I'm really used to being tricked by him! No wonder I always suffer secretly! This Randeng is really scheming! At this stage, he still has the cheek to call me his disciple-nephew!" Li Changshou felt a little awkward. Daoist Duobao immediately thought of something and chuckled.
"Changgeng, don't think too much. A junior with a good character like you is… You are very intelligent. You are different from Daoist Randeng. Quick, use another trick. What will he say next?" Li Changshou smiled and continued to think…
Those who were good at tricks would naturally understand them.
Li Changshou was just putting himself in Randeng's shoes. He listed a few tricks that he could use at that moment and analyzed the possibility of using them.
After saying a few more lies, Li Changshou began to wonder what Burning Lamp would do next.
After all, there were many ways to go about it. Since he was not Randeng, his plan was different.
However, Daoist Duobao was already convulsing with laughter. "Awesome, awesome! This is even more comfortable than beating the Deputy Sect Master up after placing him in a sack!" Li Changshou smiled when he heard that. Then, he frowned and pondered. "Senior, we can't resolve this matter by hiding here. Since he knows about your alms bowl and is very concerned about the treasure, he might go to the Jie School next." Duobao came over from the side and asked softly, "Changgeng, you're good at scheming and plotting. Just come up with an idea to get rid of him!" Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Does he really think that I am the wise star of the Primordial World, the Three Sects' Zhuge Liang? (1. Zhuge Liang was a Chinese politician, military strategist, writer, engineer and inventor during the Three Kingdoms period.) He even casually came up with an idea to get rid of Randeng… Li Changshou had fought with Daoist Randeng previously and knew how powerful that old senior was.
Under the intersecting conditions of the 'Fuxi's divination' and the 'Coincidental Meeting of Many Treasures ', he had taken the first step to take away the Copper Coins of Treasurefall. At that moment, the person whom Randeng was really looking for was actually him.
Daoist Duobao naturally understood that. After all, he and Li Changshou had only obtained two copper coins that had "unknown power" in the Ox Demon Valley.
However, Daoist Duo Bao had decided to shoulder the karma for Li Changshou after his Dharma treasure, the violet gold alms bowl was exposed to Randeng, either because of his loyalty to Li Changshou or because he was dissatisfied with Randeng…
As such, Li Changshou could not leave. He was planning carefully. He did not want to let Jie School suffer because of that matter and owe Jie School karma. He did not want to expose himself in front of Randeng and be hated by him. It would be best if he could use the power of Jie School to block Randeng today. Otherwise, he would have to make a trip to the Tushita Palace and place the copper coins in the Great Daoist Master's care…
Li Changshou had already come up with a plan.
He sent a voice transmission to Daoist Duobao.
"In my opinion, it's best to wait and see. I want to see if the Deputy Sect Master can find out what treasure he is looking for and whether he wants to go to the Jie School. If he does not even know what treasure he is looking for, we'll just let him do whatever he wants. Senior, I have a little trick to offer." Duobao's robe trembled. "Hey, tell me quickly!" Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to suggest ideas like vehement denial, counter-attacking, asking for facts and evidence, and so on.
Daoist Duobao nodded repeatedly when he heard that. His thick eyebrows and big eyes were filled with "kindness".
After a while, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down…
It was undoubtedly because the three Golden Immortal realm ox demons flew to the front of the Daoist Randeng and reported to him about their checklist.
They realized that there was not a single item lost in the valley. There were no treasures missing from the treasure vault either. However, there were many treasures placed in different directions.
Burning Lamp frowned slightly and snorted softly. A small amount of Dao runes circulated. The three Golden Immortal realm ox demons spat out blood and fell from the sky. They were already severely injured.
Duobao…
Randeng's eyes slowly narrowed. There was a hint of hesitation and contemplation in his eyes.
Soon, Randeng continued… behaving according to Li Changshou's prediction.
Randeng said calmly, "Since Disciple-Nephew is unwilling to appear, I'll go and find the other disciples of the Saint of Jie School and tell them about what happened today!"
After saying that, he rode a cloud towards the southeast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the cave, Daoist Duobao gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up and dragged Li Changshou out of the cave. He followed behind Randeng.
Daoist Duobao's burrowing mystical ability was quite extraordinary.
It was not an escape technique, nor was it a Cosmic technique. Instead, it was just the extreme of digging holes. The hole in the ground did not exist in the world, but it was attached to the world. It was similar to the Great Daoist Master's use of the Taiji Painting to walk outside the Five Elements and jump between them. He was probably a grandmaster in digging holes…
There was no one else like him.
After Randeng, Duobao, and Li Changshou's Golden Immortal paper effigy left, something happened in the inconspicuous wooden hut in the Ox Demon Valley.
A palm slowly reached out from the ground. With a flick of his finger, he threw two ordinary copper coins from the mortal world of the South Continent into the child's cloth bag. Then, the palm was surrounded by flames and instantly turned into ashes. It melted into the ground and did not leave any aura behind.
"Where is he going?"
Not long after they left the Ox Demon Valley, Duobao, who was traveling in the deep sea, looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and asked in confusion.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "From the looks of it, he should have gone to Golden Ao Island."
"From the looks of it, yes." Duobao frowned slightly and said, "There are two other disciples of the same sect hosting guests on Golden Ao Island today. They have officially become Dao companions. Uh, he seems to have invited me to be a witness. When I went out, I sensed that a treasure was about to appear, but I forgot about it."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do to stop their joyous affair from being disturbed today. We'll just give them more gifts later."
Li Changshou sighed.
Perhaps, when the Qi Refinement cultivators of Jie School became Dao companions, they would always take the initiative to invite this Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School to be their witness.
He definitely had to give them gifts!
Along the way, he passed through the bottom of the sea and chased after Randeng. Soon, Golden Ao Island was in sight.
Randeng was still aggressive, as if someone had stolen his Glazed Cup and snatched his Life Coffin.
Before arriving at Golden Ao Island, Randeng restrained most of his pressure and said loudly to the people on the island, "Are there disciples of the Saint here? Please come out and meet me!"
The immortals of Jie School on the island were immediately alarmed. The figures in a lively hall moved. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of figures flew out, and many more figures looked around.
"Isn't this the Deputy Sect Master Randeng of Chan School?" "Why is he here? I don't remember inviting such a senior to attend the ceremony."
"We have to be able to invite him. There must be something wrong with him!" In the cave, Li Changshou and Duobao looked at each other.
The latter said, "You've predicted it again, Changgeng. Wait here for a while. I'll go in another direction and land on the island. I'll bump into him!" The former cupped his hands and said, "Senior, you will win!"
"Wahahahaha!"
Daoist Duobao laughed. He turned around and with a thought, a deep hole appeared in front of him.
Create a hole with your heart and travel with the hole!
Such a mystical ability could not be cultivated by others. It was purely due to his talent. After a while, Duobao arrived at a place that was thousands of kilometers south-east of Golden Ao Island. He changed into a Daoist robe and combed his hair. He held his horsetail whisk and was about to cast a mystical ability. He was about to appear in the sky.
At that moment, before Duobao could jump, his immortal senses suddenly captured two familiar yet unfamiliar Dao runes on Golden Ao Island.
Li Changshou's voice transmission had already reached Duo Bao's ears through the hole. "Senior, wait! Look at the island!"
Without Li Changshou's reminder, Daoist Duobao had already discovered that something was amiss on the island.
Clouds suddenly rose from the Golden Ao Island. A white cloud appeared under the feet of the hundreds of immortals from Jie School who flew into the sky, protecting them.
The clouds slowly dispersed, and a beautiful figure flew out of the hall. The immortals of Jie School retreated to the sides and kept bowing.
There was a hint of mercy on Randeng's face. He sized up the person who flew over, but his frown deepened. There was no need to describe the beauty of the person who had arrived. Her figure was exquisite and stunning.
Her black hair was like a waterfall, and she had beautiful sideburns. Her plain white dress and light-colored cloth shoes were presentable. She was elegant, beautiful, refined, and gentle.
Li Changshou could not help but mutter, "Fairy, why are you here?"
Daoist Duo Bao, who was thousands of kilometers away, pondered for a while and frowned. "Why are my two Junior Sisters Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, who have been away for a long time, here?" "Changgeng," Daoist Duobao asked via voice transmission. "Do I appear now?"
"Senior, there's no hurry." Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, "Let Senior Yun Xiao deal with it. Senior, you can appear at the crucial moment. The effect should be better." Daoist Duobao immediately nodded. He looked at Yun Xiao's back and could not help but smile bitterly. He even complained to Li Changshou via voice transmission.
"Why isn't Junior Brother Zhao here… When Junior Sister Yun Xiao teaches me a lesson later, I won't be able to handle it…"
Li Changshou recalled the power of the "kneel" on the Three-Immortal Island and could not help but smile.
Before Fairy Yun Xiao reached the immortals of Jie School, she was 300 to 400 feet away from Randeng. She first bowed slightly and asked a question directly.
Her voice was neither cold nor indifferent, neither soft nor heavy. It was ethereal and gentle. "Why did the Deputy Sect Master Randeng suddenly visit?" Randeng said coldly, "It's a good thing that your Eldest Senior Brother did!" "Eldest Senior Brother?" Yun Xiao said calmly, "Senior Brother Duobao, did you offend Senior?"
"Hmph!" Randeng cursed. "He relied on his treasure-hunting mystical ability to snatch my treasures! If I had gone half a step later, I might not even have seen his shadow!" "Oh?"
Yun Xiao frowned slightly when she heard that.
If it were any of the other eight disciples of Jie School, they would have thought that it was Senior Brother Duobao who had snatched the opportunity of Randeng and caused him to fly into a rage.
However, Yun Xiao hummed softly and asked three questions calmly.
"I don't know the details, but I can't say that. May I ask, Deputy Sect Master, did Senior Brother Duobao snatch that treasure from
you?"
Randeng frowned slightly. Yun Xiao had already waved her slender fingers gently in front of him and was calculating with her fingers. Randeng said, "Although it's not in my hands, that treasure is indeed fated with me!" Yun Xiao asked again, "In that case, did you know where that treasure was previously but you did not take it?" "That's right!"
Randeng said calmly, "I knew where that treasure was long ago. It's just that it wasn't time for it to be born yet, so I've been waiting quietly." "Since you knew where it was, why didn't you wait there? Why did you wait for Senior Brother Duobao to retrieve it before coming here to blame and question him?"
Yun Xiao asked softly. Her tone was calm and composed
Without waiting for Randeng to reply, Yun Xiao said lightly, "Deputy Sect Master Randeng, we're no longer in the ancient times. You can't just snatch a treasure because you saw it and said that you're fated with it." "If we're talking about fate, since that treasure is already in the hands of my Senior Brother Duobao, it would naturally be more closely related to my Senior Brother. Why are you being so overbearing, Deputy Sect Master Randeng?" Just as Lan Ling was about to retaliate, Li Changshou, who was in the cave, sent a voice transmission to Daoist Duobao.
"You may appear, Senior. Senior Yun Xiao, you are really powerful. Senior, you only need to say one word to decide the situation!" "Hahahaha!"
Daoist Duobao laughed loudly. With a flash, he appeared above the clouds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, he arrived above Golden Ao Island and landed in front of Yun Xiao.
"Thank you for your explanation, Junior Sister Yun Xiao. I've been listening by the side for a while. Deputy Sect Master, I still have a question. If you can answer it, let's talk about the treasures today!" There was a hint of fear in Burning Lamp's eyes, but he still asked calmly, "What do you mean?"
Duobao chuckled. "What is the treasure that you mentioned, Deputy Sect Master?" Burning Lamp said, "It's naturally an item that is fated with me!"
"Psht!"
A chuckle sounded from behind Yun Xiao. It was Qiong Xiao.
Qiong Xiao smiled and said, "Deputy Sect Master, you don't even know what that is. How do you know where it is? Could it be that you happened to pass by and discovered that Senior Brother Duobao was searching for treasures and got interested in it? Ah, my big brother's wonderful technique of 'collapsing upon contact' is far inferior to your pride, Deputy Sect Master Burning Lamp." Daoist Randeng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He nodded slowly. He knew that he could not do anything today, but he was not angry at all. He simply said, "In that case, I will remember this matter. I will report this to the Sect Master later and ask everyone for an explanation!"
After saying that, Daoist Burning Lamp turned around on a cloud and left after saying those words…
Daoist Duobao looked at Daoist Randeng's back and could not help but smile. He stood with his hands behind his back and felt extremely comfortable.
After Randeng was far away, a cloud enveloped Golden Ao Island and temporarily isolated it.
"Eldest Senior Brother?"
Yun Xiao's voice came from behind. Duobao shivered subconsciously. His smile was filled with bitterness as he slowly turned to look. Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak, Daoist Duobao moved quickly. He waved his sleeve and waved his left hand. The light in front of Li Changshou, who was in the hole, swayed.
Li Changshou appeared beside Daoist Duobao and was pulled back by the latter.
Daoist Duobao smiled.
He said, "Junior Sister Yun Xiao, look! I really picked up a treasure this time!"

Chapter 295 On The Starry Night, Ling'e Will Soon Transcend The Tribulation
He had picked up a treasure… Before Li Changshou could complain, Yun Xiao's eyes lit up. Yun Xiao seemed to be saying, "Why are you here again, Fellow Daoist?" She was asking him why he had formed some ties with her Senior Brother Duobao and why he had brought him here. "Fairies, we meet again."
Although Li Changshou was caught off guard, he knew that he could not let the big shots of Jie School have a feud with him.
He bowed to Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao and said, "This matter is complicated. Please allow me to explain it in detail later."
Yun Xiao nodded slightly. Her gaze was gentle.
However, Qiong Xiao, who was not worthy of appearing, snorted and said, "Who are you? Have we met before?"
"Wait, wait."
Li Changshou smiled awkwardly. He took out a paper effigy from his sleeve and transformed it into an old immortal that was specially used by the Sea God.
The paper effigy that looked like a middle-aged Daoist turned into a paper effigy and entered the old immortal's sleeve.
Li Changshou bowed again and said, "Fairy, don't blame me."
Daoist Duobao looked at Li Changshou's paper effigy with interest. Yun Xiao also smiled.
Qiong Xiao, on the other hand, supported her forehead with one hand. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. "It's you again, that little fellow who likes to pretend to be old." "Why?"
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "You guys know each other?"
Qiong Xiao snorted and replied, "The Sea God and the immortals of the Three-Immortal Island are familiar with each other. The four of us have received a lot of care from the Sea God. Big Sister has even personally gone into seclusion for him for twelve years. Eldest Senior Brother, do you think we know each other?"
Twelve years of seclusion?
Wow!
Daoist Duobao's eyes instantly lit up!
"Third Sister, don't say that," Yun Xiao said gently. "Fellow Daoist Sea God and the four of us are fated. It's true that he had taken care of
us.
Let's go down and talk. Don't let the fellow disciples wait for too long."
"Alright." Daoist Duobao nodded and agreed.
Li Changshou said, "Then I'll tell you…"
"Hey! What are you going to say?"
Daoist Duobao immediately attacked and grabbed Li Changshou's arm. "Changgeng, why are you running away? Since you're already here, you should join in the fun!"
He continued, "Also, what if the Deputy Sect Master Randeng ambushes you when you are on the way? You have insufficient Dharma powers and numinous treasures are insufficient. How will your incarnation deal with it?"
"Let's go, let's go. Let's go down and drink tea and eat wine. I still have so many tricks up my sleeve. I want to talk to you in detail. You can take your leave after you've had your fill. Coincidentally, Junior Sister Yun Xiao is here. Let her send you back to the Heavenly Courts. There's no need to be afraid of Randeng."
Li Changshou looked at Fairy Yun Xiao and saw her nod with a smile. He could not continue to decline.
Therefore, he performed a Dao salute and followed behind Daoist Duobao. Together with Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, they left the island and headed towards the immortals from Jie School.
They exchanged greetings and laughed.
There were smiling faces everywhere. There were immortals everywhere too.
The immortals of Jie School indeed followed their hearts.
Daoist Duobao wanted to have a long chat with Li Changshou. Li Changshou was arranged to sit at the main table of the wedding banquet, beside Daoist Duobao. On the other side was Goddess Yun Xiao…
If that was a banquet of Chan School, Li Changshou's seniority would be insufficient. He would not even be able to sit at the main table.
Just as they sat down, Li Changshou heard a surprised voice transmission.
"Brother Sect Master! Didn't you say that you were busy previously!?!"
Li Changshou turned his head and saw his Second Sect Master, Ao Yi, standing in the corner of the hall.
Ao Yi immediately wanted to move forward, but he could not help but stop when he saw the people seated at Li Changshou's table.
The aura was too strong, causing the dragon to be afraid.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. "I met Senior Duobao by chance and was pulled here. I'll go and talk to you and Sister-in-law later."
Ao Yi agreed and lowered his head to return to his seat. He whispered a few words into Jiang Si'er's ear. Jiang Si'er turned her head and looked over, her eyes filled with admiration.
The two main leads of today's banquet… were not important.
At that moment, they had already completed the ceremony to become Dao companions. When the immortals from Jie School walked forward, Daoist Duobao took out three to four Postnatal numinous treasures from his sleeve as a congratulatory gift.
Li Changshou could not be rude. He took out two bottles of Spirit Pills from his sleeve.
The benefits of Ren School's forte at alchemy were also reflected. In Li Changshou's eyes, the Grade Four and Grade Five Spirit Pills, which were not considered outstanding, were considered a significant gift to the immortals of Jie School
After sending the congratulatory gifts, he became more confident about eating at the banquet.
However, Li Changshou sat in between Daoist Duobao and Fairy Yun Xiao. He was really a little restrained. He did not dare to move his chopsticks. He just smiled and sat still like a clay statue.
He suddenly heard a voice transmission.
Fairy Yun Xiao on the left asked, "Fellow Daoist, what's going on?"
Daoist Duobao on the right asked, "Changgeng, what's going on between you and Junior Sister Yun Xiao?"
That was probably the tacit understanding between the big shots.
Li Changshou returned to Fairy Yun Xiao and said, "When I was searching for treasures, I accidentally met Senior Duobao. Then, I met the Deputy Sect Master Randeng. This matter is quite complicated." Then, he replied Daoist Duo Bao, "Senior, don't misunderstand. I've only interacted with Fairy Yun Xiao a few times."
Yun Xiao said, "There's no hurry. Tell them slowly."
Daoist Duobao, who was on the other side, remained calm and smiled secretly.
"Only interacted a few times? I don't think so. I smelled it just now. After Junior Sister Yun Xiao saw you, not only did her expression change, but her Dao runes also became as gentle as water. Even her own scent changed. Why? Do you still dislike Junior Sister Yun Xiao? Please understand the Four Immortal-Vanquishing Swords."
Immortal Vanquishing…
Numerous Primordial Beasts ran through Li Changshou's mind.
What the hell?
Is everyone in Jie School afraid that Fairy Yun Xiao will not be able to find a Dao companion? Isn't being someone's Dao companion an insult to an existence like Fairy Yun Xiao, who is as beautiful as a painting?
Li Changshou did not even have time to complain. He had already started to transmit his voice to the left and right.
Especially when he was talking to such experts, he had to think carefully and consider every word he said. He was afraid of causing misunderstandings and making mistakes.
It would be fine if it was just a random matter that they were discussing.
While Daoist Duobao was pulling him to gossip, Yun Xiao was carefully asking about the matter regarding Randeng and Duobao.
Not long after, Qiong Xiao went to the side to join in the fun. She asked him if there were any new tricks during this period of time. She even asked Li Changshou to plead with Fairy Yun Xiao so that she and Bi Xiao could go out and move around.
That was completely different from controlling the paper effigy. Li Changshou felt exhausted after a while and almost exploded… Fortunately, Yun Xiao noticed Li Changshou's abnormality in time. She felt that Li Changshou's reply was slower and that he would say "Yes" and "well" as fillers to express what he was thinking
Yun Xiao asked gently, "Is Senior Brother Duobao also sending you a voice transmission?"
"Ah, yes…"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Yun Xiao said softly, "You should respond to Senior Brother Duobao first. Don't be slow. You and I can talk later."
There was a warm and fuzzy feeling in Li Changshou's heart. He thanked Fairy Yun Xiao and began to focus on transmitting his voice to Duobao.
Half a day later, the stars in the night sky were traceless.
A white cloud flew across the sea and carried two figures towards the Immortal Du Sect.
Fairy Yun Xiao knew about Li Changshou's background. Previously, when she left Golden Ao Island, she had taken Li Changshou to the Heavenly Courts on a cloud. However, she had turned to the East Continent halfway.
On the way, Li Changshou did not hide anything. He said that he had received guidance from Senior Fuxi and had gone to the valley to search for treasures. He had accidentally bumped into Daoist Duobao. With Daoist Duobao's care and help, he had obtained two small copper coins.
Then, Randeng arrived. Duobao brought him to hide in the cave and chased him all the way to Golden Ao Island.
There was nothing to hide. Firstly, Li Changshou did not take the initiative to plot against Duobao.
Secondly, from Li Changshou's point of view, if the Copper Coins of Treasurefall were to be taken away by Randeng, the ones who would suffer would be Jie School.
After hearing that, Yun Xiao pondered for a while and said, "You can't be blamed for this matter. The Deputy Sect Master Randeng is really going overboard. Did your paper effigy technique break through to the Golden Immortal realm? This will greatly increase your strength. I should congratulate you."
"Ah…"
"What happened?" "I'm fine, I'm fine. I just remembered that I was punished by the Heavenly Punishment previously." Li Changshou sighed softly. "Now, I'm thinking that I might have received the love of the Heavenly Dao.
"I was punished by the Heavenly Punishment during the Tribulation Transcendence. I was also punished by the Heavenly Punishment when I was refining pills and treasures. I was struck until my skin and flesh were torn apart. However, to be safe, I can only be grateful."
"Heh…"
Such faint laughter?
Li Changshou could not help but look at Yun Xiao, who pursed her lips and smiled.
At that moment, the starlight shone on her fair and flawless skin…
Ahem, karma, karma, calm down.
Li Changshou raised a red wooden sign in his heart and immediately calmed his mind. He maintained his calm state of mind and continued to chat and laugh with Fairy Yun Xiao.
In the fog, mountains and rivers were connected.
Li Changshou had never felt that the Golden Ao Island could be so close to the Immortal Du Sect. After saying just a few hundred words, he had already arrived near the Immortal Du Sect.
Yun Xiao looked at the mountain-protecting array formation and asked, "Can I send you into the array formation?"
"No need, no need. I'll just use the paper effigy to receive it." Li Changshou bowed and said, "Thank you for sending me off, Fairy."
Yun Xiao bowed slightly and said, "Then I'll return to the Three-Immortal Island to cultivate."
"Take care, Fairy."
"Yes."
At that moment, Fairy Yun Xiao rode a cloud and turned around. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared under the resplendent stars.
Li Changshou landed in the forest below. Then, he used Earth Escape and disappeared without a trace.
"Tsk, how should I sever this karma?"
The Copper Coins of Treasurefall, the Divine Sea-Calming Needle, Da Yu's Hydrology Diagram, the Acacia Tree, the Five-Element Spiritual Pearl…
In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou felt satisfied when he counted the treasures that he had obtained recently.
His strength had been greatly enhanced!
However, the Five-Element Pearls had to be used in the core array formation of the Little Qiong Peak. Although the five pearls could barely be considered Connate numinous treasure, it would be a waste to use them there.
However, from another perspective, that also increased the possibility of the future development of the Little Qiong Peak. After all, the plan for Little Qiong Peak's vagrancy was only in the early stages. Its final form should be similar to the Heaven-Breaking Seal's brick that was used for smashing people, as well as the mobile Cave Abode, which was extremely sturdy.
Da Yu's Hydrology Diagram was exclusive to the Sea God. It was also a huge trump card of the Golden Immortal realm paper effigy in the future.
There was no need to mention the Godly Sea-Calming Needle. He could not snatch a monkey and dig its ear with the rod. The metal rod was destined to go to the East Ocean. He could only think of a way to obtain the power of merit on it.
The only thing that could be used were the Copper Coins of Treasurefall.
Li Changshou held the two copper coins in his hand and carefully sized them up. The words and patterns on the copper coins were a little blurry.
He rubbed his fingers gently a few times and realized that that layer of "wrapper" was actually formed over many years by the turbid energy in the mortal world.
Just as Daoist Duobao had said, as long as he used his own merit to nurture it, he could make the treasure shine again.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and decided to stabilize himself first. The next time he went to offer incense to the Saint, he would bring him to the Heavenly Courts to use the Merit Sacrifice.
Logically speaking, Randeng should not have sensed anything, but just in case…
"Senior Brother?"
Ling'e's gentle voice sounded outside the Pill Chamber.
The paper effigy guarding the Pill Chamber immediately stood up and called out to Ling'e, "Follow my instructions and cast the Manifestation Spell to enter from this small hole."
"Alright." Ling'e agreed without hesitation. Soon, the wooden door of the secret underground chamber was gently pushed open. Ling'e looked around curiously and jumped in gracefully. "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Your Tribulation Transcendence is imminent. There are some things that I should tell you."
Then, the wooden door closed. Li Changshou pointed in front of him and a circular chair appeared behind the desk.
Ling'e walked over slowly. Although she usually had light makeup on, her entire body exuded a surreal vibe, perhaps because she was approaching the Tribulation Transcendence.
In the following period of time, Li Changshou would not wander around anymore. He would focus on accompanying his junior sister and helping her successfully transcend the tribulation and ascend to immortality.
It would be best if she could ascend.
However, he could not force it.
"Ling'e, how much do you know about Ren School?"
Ling'e blinked. Her long eyelashes flickered, and her fair face flushed.
When it came to Ren School, it was definitely the custom of Dao companions that stood out…
She bit her lower lip and asked softly, "Senior Brother, is this place very hidden? No one will find out, right?"
"That's right. This place is surrounded by the array formations of the Little Qiong Peak. Now that the array formations are constantly being upgraded, even ordinary Golden Immortals would not be able to find this place unless they open this mountain."
Ling'e's face turned red instantly. She pursed her lips and white fog appeared above her head. It was unknown what she was thinking…
Li Changshou silently took out two stone slabs and a carving knife. He placed one in front of Ling'e and the other in front of him.
"Come, I've done some unsafe things outside today. I'll be punished with you. We'll copy it 4,500 times each."
"Ahem!"
Ling'e's aura trembled. She looked at her senior brother pitifully and said aggrievedly, "Senior Brother, I've punished myself previously and adding them together, I only have more than 900 copies left…"
"I need to copy it 9,000 times."
"Hehe, Senior Brother, I'll write half for you!"
"Yes, remember to add the 900 times too. I'll copy it 4,500 times. You will copy it 5,400 times. Let's begin."
Ling'e's eyes were filled with tears. Li Changshou, on the other hand, squinted and smiled. He lowered his head and picked up the carving knife to start carving carefully. "Focus on writing. Don't think too much. I will help you improve your Dao base and increase your chances of success."
"Senior Brother, can you remove the concealment spells on your body…" "I can do it this time, but don't make such a request again." Li Changshou nodded and dispersed the few spells on him.
Report chapter
Chapter 296 Nine Heavens Elemental Spirit Tribulation!
It had been a few days since the Golden Ao Island's wedding banquet. "Brother Sect Master, it's no longer within our reach. Ah."
In the Dragon Palace of the East Ocean, two figures were hugging each other in the corner of the huge bed in the Second Prince's palace. Jiang Si'er did not know how to comfort Ao Yi. She could only lean closer to her husband and say softly, "Hubby, why did you sigh? The Sect Master has already taken great care of us. He has done his best for the dragon race. Previously, didn't the elders say that when you entered the Heavenly Courts, the dragon race's luck had clearly increased a little? After the 16 sea-patrolling low-ranked gods returned, the dragon race's luck had increased again. These are all benefits that the Sect Master has given us." "This is called laughing and sighing. I'm happy for Brother Sect Master," said Ao Yi with a smile. "Now, Brother Sect Master can sit at the same table as the top mighty figures in the world. Back then, Brother Sect Master was just…" "Hubby."
Jiang Si'er suddenly interrupted Ao Yi and said in a low voice, "You reminded me not to mention anything about Brother Sect Master. You cannot mention it to me either." Ao Yi was immediately alarmed. He immediately checked the array formations outside the hall and heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you for the reminder, Si'er."
Jiang Si'er said gently, "A powerful enemy is bearing hatred and jealousy towards Sect Master because of the dragon race. We can't make such a mistake." Ao Yi hugged his wife even tighter and spoke gently. "Your Highness, the Prince of the West Ocean, Ao Shi, has arrived in the palace. Mother Dragon invited Your Highness to meet him. She said that she has something to discuss with him."
Jiang Si'er heard the sea maiden reporting outside the hall and whimpered before hiding under the thin blanket.
Ao Yi's mouth gently twitched a few times… "Got it. I'll go over now." "Hubby." Jiang Si'er stuck her head out of the blanket and whispered, "Remember to discuss everything with the Sect Master. Although there's nothing major in the four seas recently, I still feel uneasy." "Alright." Ao Yi gave Jiang Si'er a reassuring look and quickly dressed up before heading out of the hall.
An hour later, Ao Yi frowned and returned. Jiang Si'er, who had already dressed up, quickly walked over. "Hubby, what's wrong?" "It has nothing to do with us," said Ao Yi. "Cousin Ao Shi is here to invite our elder brother to the West Ocean Dragon Palace for a banquet. This time, the crown princes of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas are gathering. They're probably just seeking pleasure and it's not something serious." "Why are you frowning then?" "I keep feeling that something is amiss." Ao Yi pondered for a while and recalled what he had seen previously. "Today, not only is Cousin Ao Shi here, but also Cousin Ao Mou from the South Ocean. You might not know what cousin Ao Mou's personality is like. He doesn't like rules and restrictions. He's a little unrestrained. Moreover, he's quite indulgent towards himself and often mingles with maidservants…" Jiang Si'er blinked. "There are quite a number of such disciples in the dragon race." "Tsk." Ao Yi said in a low voice, "The last time I saw my cousin, Ao Mou, was two years ago. He was in low spirits, his Yang energy was depleted, his dragon origin was unstable, and his aura was weak." He continued, "However, when I saw Cousin Ao Mou today, his eyes are filled with divine light, and his aura is dense and stable. His face is rosy, and his dragon origin is deep. He seems to have become a completely different person."
"You…" Jiang Si'er chided." Can't he change his personality? Or has he taken some supplementary pills?" "There's a problem." Ao Yi shook his head. He stood up and paced around the bed. He pondered carefully. "However, I can't disturb Brother Sect Master because of this." Jiang Si'er hurriedly said, "Husband, don't put yourself in danger. Sect Master once said that you should tell him everything, no matter how major or trivial the matter may be." "Don't worry." Ao Yi thought carefully. If I were Brother Sect Master, how should I deal with this matter?
Soon, Ao Yi had an idea.
First, be steady. "I'll go and discuss this matter with the elders. I'll see if I can invite a few experts to secretly follow me to the West Ocean to take a look." Then, Ao Yi rushed out of the hall.
Jiang Si'er wanted to say something but stopped herself.
In the chess room at the back of the mountain of Little Qiong Peak, there were cards from a half-finished game placed on the table.
Yu Shi, who had just started cultivating, was meditating in the room next door.
Two beautiful figures and a towering figure were gathered at the stairs of the attic, looking up with concern. Not long after, Jiu Jiu walked down the stairs quietly and used her immortal power to create a barrier. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. Youqin Xuanya asked, "Junior Sister Ling'e, have you cultivated?" "No, I fell asleep." Jiu Jiu frowned and sighed. "This is too scary!" Jiang Lin'er hurriedly asked, "What happened? I saw her riding a cloud back just now. She was exhausted and seemed to have lost her soul." "I don't know either." Jiu Jiu frowned and said seriously, "I heard her mumbling something. Senior Brother wants her to… do it 5,400 times… or something." Youqin Xuanya was confused. "5,400 times?" "Pfft!"
Jiang Lin'er almost burst out laughing. "Xuanya, don't think too much. Little Jiu is just joking." Youqin Xuanya tilted her head and fell into deeper confusion. "Hehehe." Jiu Jiu jumped down in two steps. The silk thread on her hemp garment was being tugged. Jiu Jiu smiled and said, "He wants her to copy the sutra 5,400 times. Master's Wife, you're thinking too much. Ling'e is still being despised by her senior brother because her Dao base is unstable." At the mention of the Tribulation Transcendence, as Ling'e's Grandmaster, Jiang Lin'er could not help but look serious. "Ling'e is about to transcend the tribulation. If her Dao base is really unstable, she should suffer some hardship. However, how can copying sutras strengthen one's Dao base?" "If Senior Brother Changshou asked Junior Sister Ling'e to do it, it would naturally be beneficial to her." Youqin Xuanya said, "Just believe in Senior Brother Changshou." Xiong Lingli nodded. "My cousin is awesome!" "The problem is, why is Lingle's Dao base unstable?" Jiu Jiu pursed her lips and said, "I've seen Ling'e's Dao base a few times before when she was having an enlightenment. Her Dao base Green Lotus has more than eight petals. Her Dao base is much more stable than mine back then."
"Hey." Jiang Lin'er suddenly interrupted Jiu Jiu and pointed at the ceiling. "Look!" The few of them looked up and saw a two-inch diameter green lotus flower floating slowly on the ceiling The green color was faint, and the nine petals were glowing. There seemed to be a wisp of fragrance spreading everywhere. Jiu Jiu widened her almond-shaped eyes and exclaimed, "Nine petals!" "That's not right." Jiang Lin'er's eyes shone brightly as she saw Ling'e's current situation. In the quiet room on the second floor, Ling'e, who was originally lying on the bed, was wrapped in spiritual light. She sat cross-legged in the air, surrounded by blurry words. Those words were gathering behind Ling'e. There was a faint image of a book that was about to form. "Quick!" Jiang Lin'er immediately started to call out, "Ling'e is about to transcend the tribulation! Quick! Quick!" Jiu Jiu said anxiously, "What are you doing, Master's Wife!?!" Youqin Xuanya remained silent and immediately rushed upstairs.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. She is currently comprehending the Dao before she becomes an immortal."
At that moment, a breeze blew in from outside the door. Li Changshou appeared in front of them.
She's getting an enlightenment so quickly? Li Changshou was slightly surprised. He thought that Ling'e would need to rest for half a month before she could make a breakthrough… No, that's not right. Li Changshou stared at Ling'e, who was on the second floor. His gaze landed on the image of the book behind Ling'e. He could vaguely see the word 'stable' on it. Uh, entering the Dao through the Steadiness Sutra?
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched a few times, and he was a little confused. Fortunately, after carefully observing for a while, he realized that his junior sister had indeed walked a different path on the foundation of the Inaction Sutra…
There was nothing wrong with that Dao. She could also hope for the future. Li Changshou said, "Grandmaster, please tell the sect that Ling'e will be going outside the sect to transcend the tribulation later. Tell the disciples of the sect not to approach and disturb her, lest they get injured by the Heavenly Tribulation." Jiang Lin'er said, "Alright, I'll go to the Hundred Mortal Hall now and tell them that it was said by my Fugui!" Youqin Xuanya asked, "Senior Brother, is there anything I can do?" "The Tribulation Transcendence is a personal matter." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Don't worry. Ling'e has already made sufficient preparations. I will protect her later." Jiu Jiu volunteered. "I'll go and cheer for Ling'e!" Xiong Lingli asked softly, "Can I help?" "Alright!" Jiu Jiu waved her hand. "You'll be the drum!"
Xiong Lingli immediately agreed bitterly. There was also some laughter in the pavilion. It was different from Qi Yuan's hesitant Heavenly Tribulation. It was also different from Li Changshou's Heavenly Tribulation which had repeated cycles.
Ling'e's Heavenly Tribulation arrived rather gently.
After the last Dao Enlightenment session before she became an immortal, Ling'e slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with brilliant spiritual light. Her entire body was wrapped in a faint cloud, and her snow-white skin looked fragile. Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. "The Heavenly Tribulation has arrived. Are you ready?"
"Yes." Ling'e nodded slightly. She had already sensed it. She thought that she would be a little worried and afraid, but when she heard her senior brother's voice, she felt at ease. What can the Heavenly Tribulation do? After transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, I will have a longer lifespan and I can accompany Senior Brother on the peak… Ling'e took a deep breath and quickly checked the storage Dharma treasures on her body. She looked at the various treasure pouches that were "specially used"for Tribulation Transcendence and were placed in different categories. She felt more confident. She changed into a special Dharma treasure chiffon dress and put on a chiffon dress. Her long hair was cascading down and she tied it up simply. She carried a short sword and a jade flute. She went downstairs and smiled at her senior brother. When she pushed open the door, she was already surrounded by dark clouds. Boundless spiritual energy surged over, and the clouds above the dark clouds churned.
The immortals in various parts of the sect were alarmed as their immortal senses gathered there. Li Changshou waved his sleeve and a white cloud lifted him and Ling'e up. He rode the cloud towards the sect. Li Changshou asked, "Have you checked everything?" "Yes." Ling'e nodded slightly. "Senior Brother, don't worry. I'm ready." "Put this in your mouth." Li Changshou took out a golden pill wrapped in immortal power. Ling'e did not even think about it and did not ask what it was. She picked up the pill and placed it in her mouth. The corners of her lips curled up. Li Changshou reminded her, "Don't swallow this pill directly. This is your last trump card and you should have it just in case. It's for your survival. It is very expensive." "It's in my mouth… I can't even speak properly…" "Stop talking." "Okay." Ling'e agreed obediently. She looked up at the dark clouds, but her Dao heart was peaceful.
At the mountain gate, more than ten figures were waiting for the two of them.
Her Grandmaster Jiang Lin'er, Master Qi Yuan, Little Aunt-Master Jiu Yushi, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Jiu Shi, the other four Jiu Immortals, Senior Sister Yan'er, Junior Brother Qi Qi…
Lingle bowed with a Dao salute. Jiang Lin'er smiled and said, "After transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, I'll ask your Uncle-Grandmaster Wang Qing to take action and knock your senior brother unconscious before throwing him into your room!" Ling'e blushed. She wanted to nod but did not dare to. She could only look at her senior brother weakly. Li Changshou stood at the side with a smile. Qi Yuan, on the other hand, reminded him worriedly, "I have experience in transcending the tribulation. If you can't take it head-on, don't force yourself to take it head-on. Changshou, have you prepared that pill for your junior sister?" "I've prepared another type of pill." Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Master, don't worry. When you were transcending the tribulation, my cultivation level and my abilities were insufficient. I'm now already prepared for Junior Sister's tribulation." "That's good, that's good." Qi Yuan sighed. Jiang Lin'er and Qi Yuan immediately made way for Li Changshou and Ling'e. There were encouraging words coming from the surroundings. Ling'e bowed one by one, but she could not say anything. After leaving the sect, they headed to the place for the Tribulation Transcendence, which was on the desolate mountain ahead.
Qi Yuan and the others followed on a cloud and stopped five kilometers away. Li Changshou walked forward another five kilometers and told Ling'e where the Tribulation Transcendence was. "Go."
"Senior Brother…"
"Steady."
"Yes!"
Ling'e nodded slightly. With her left hand as a guide, she floated up. Her skirt fluttered, and her long hair danced in the wind. She was like a fairy that had flown away from the painting. She flew to the desolate mountain that was filled with signs of Tribulation Transcendence. Boom! Boom! The thunder rumbled above her head. Ling'e looked up and saw that the black clouds in the sky had begun to rotate. Right, where's Little Aunt-Master?
At that moment, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard from the side. Lingle turned her head and saw that on a cloud a few kilometers away, Jiu Jiu was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a headband. She was waving the drumstick and striking the drum. Xiong Lingli stood at the side and kept hitting the gong. The two of them shouted in unison, "Ling'e will succeed!" "Transcend the tribulation and become an immortal!"
Youqin Xuanya stood behind the two of them. She curled her right leg up and pointed her left foot at the ground. She was dressed in a fiery-red dress, and she looked extremely beautiful. She was holding onto sixteen flagpoles with her slender fingers. On the flags were the phrases 'Ling'e will definitely win' and 'Transcend the tribulation to become an immortal'. Ling'e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. For some reason, she felt a little… ashamed.
"Don't be distracted."
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and rushed over. Ling'e immediately perked up and took out Dharma treasures and Dharma artifacts from her treasure pouch. She pushed them a thousand feet away from her and wrapped them with Dharma powers, ready to use them at any time.
They were items like the Faraday Cage and the other special Dharma artifacts of the Little Qiong Peak. There were three types and a total of nine Dharma artifacts.
There were six Dharma treasures that could be used to protect one's essence soul during the Tribulation Transcendence. Half of them were high-grade immortal treasures.
There were four Dharma treasures that could quickly gather spiritual energy and restore one's Dharma powers. For prevention against sneak attacks, triggering miniature array foundations, there were twelve… There were two bottles of second-grade Spirit Pills that could increase one's resistance to the Thunder Tribulation. There were six bottles of fourth-grade Spirit Pills that could continuously heal one's injuries. There were three bottles of third-grade Spirit Pills that continuously emitted medicinal effects and sped up the recovery of immortal power. There was a bottle of pills that could restore one's essence soul.
There were also three pills that could quickly repair the Dao base and help one recover from trauma… and so on.
Five kilometers away, in the direction of the sect, the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect who had witnessed that scene had complicated expressions. Jiang Lin'er muttered softly, "When did our Little Qiong Peak become so wealthy? Not to mention the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, people will believe that it is meant for transcending the Golden Immortal Tribulation!"
Qi Yuan chuckled, his eyes filled with comfort.
"Ahem, ahem." A few coughs were heard. A slender figure descended from the sky and landed in front of them. He stood calmly with his hands behind his back.
The person who came was naturally the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou.
Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "These are all bestowed by me. Ling'e is a rare cultivation genius in the Immortal Du Sect. It's reasonable for me to take care of her."
The immortals of the Immortal Du Sect were enlightened. Ji Wuyou smiled and squinted. From the looks of it, the identity of the Great Daoist Master's daughter-in-law is confirmed. If anything happens during the Tribulation Transcendence later, I will help her pass the test even if I have to destroy a few Dharma treasures.
At that moment, the Tribulation Cloud had begun to form the Lightning Well vortex. It suddenly stopped. Waves of spiritual energy began to gather from all directions. The Tribulation Cloud, which had already been formed, began to grow again! Li Changshou did not feel anything strange. The Heavenly Tribulation that appeared just now was the Heavenly Tribulation that Ling'e should have withstood with her potential. At that moment, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation began to increase because of Ling'e's current Dao base. Li Changshou quickly calculated in his heart. The success rate was still 98%…
"Huh?"
Li Changshou sensed something and looked up. He saw a gray cloud suddenly fly out of the Tribulation Cloud and stop above his head.
Why?
The figure that was hiding in the forest and moving forward 1,500 kilometers east of the Immortal Du Sect suddenly stopped.
It was a black leopard with a young girl on its back.
Recently, the black leopard had regained a portion of his memories from his previous life. He brought his wife to a forest at the edge of the South Continent to search for the treasures that he had buried when he was called 'Daoist Priest Yuan Ze' in his previous life. At that moment, he looked towards the east and vaguely saw a Tribulation Cloud. On the Tribulation Cloud, a group of fairies seemed to be dancing
He seethed.
"It's actually the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Tribulation, which is ranked third in the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!"
The black leopard gasped. The young girl hurriedly said, "Say it simply, don't make a long speech." "She can't transcend such a huge tribulation, she definitely can't!"

Chapter 297 Senior Brother, I Must…
"Why did the Heavenly Tribulation split?"
Jiu Yushi asked in a timid tone. The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect, who had quietened down because of the changes in the Heavenly Tribulation, immediately regained their senses.
The small gray cloud had already flown above Li Changshou's head.
The gray cloud looked ordinary, but as long as the Qi Refinement cultivators tried to investigate with their immortal senses, they would feel a cold, powerful, and obscure Dao rune.
"Heavenly Punishment?!" Jiang Lin'er was the first to react. "Why would the Heavenly Punishment go to Changshou when it's Ling'e's Tribulation Transcendence?" A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The cultivators of the Immortal Du Sect, who were originally hiding in the mountain-protecting array formation or outside the sect, were now discussing.
The legendary existence of the Heavenly Punishment made them feel… that it was very rare.
The human race's destiny was flourishing. As the protagonist of the world, they were protected by the Heavenly Dao. The possibility of them being punished was very low. Today, Little Qiong Peak's immortal seedling, Ling'e, was undergoing her Tribulation Transcendence. However, a Heavenly Punishment had gone to the Little Qiong Peak's "Essence Immortal", Li Changshou. The relationship between the two of them was somewhat hard to fathom.
The "empty" Sect Leader Ji Wuyou stood with his hands behind his back. He pondered for a while and wanted to explain for Li Changshou, but he… could not continue lying!
However, no matter what, Ji Wuyou could not let anything happen to Li Changshou. He immediately shouted, "Changshou, this is the Heavenly Punishment. I will help you!"
"Sect Leader, don't worry!" Li Changshou turned around and bowed with a Dao salute.
There was no choice. The Sect Leader could not bear the intensity of the Heavenly Punishment that he was suffering.
However, the main problem now was… how to survive the Heavenly Punishment in front of everyone without exposing too many of his trump cards!
When Li Changshou saw that question, he rejected it.
However, the Heavenly Dao was impartial and did things according to the rules. It would not bargain with him. The Divine Lightning of Heavenly Punishment that could destroy everything was brewing in the sky. The Heavenly Might was firmly locked onto him. After looking, he confirmed that it was lightning that he could not refuse.
However, what is it for this time? He should at least give me a reason, right?
He remembered that it was during the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. It was the first time he had met the Heavenly Punishment. At that time, the Heavenly Punishment was very inexperienced. It came and left quickly. Li Changshou had admitted that it was because he had concealed the heavenly secrets then.
The Golden Immortal Tribulation was split into twelve Heavenly Punishments. That was mainly because he had severed his Dao nine times and shaken the Heavenly Tribulation nine times. Li Changshou accepted it. The Nine Heavenly Punishment struck the paper effigy that created the Golden Immortal realm. Later on, Li Changshou also understood that it might be a warning to him not to create a cultivation system of "swallowing a Golden Pill".
Therefore, Li Changshou reluctantly accepted
it.
However, today!
Only today! Under the premise of the approval of the Heavenly Dao, he summarized the experiences of his predecessors during the Tribulation Transcendence and used the Grand Pure One's Dao of Alchemy to help his junior sister make some preparations for the Tribulation Transcendence. Why should I be struck!?! Why am I being punished!?!
Why… wait.
Li Changshou blinked and suddenly looked at Ling'e.
At that moment, Ling'e was also looking over. Her eyes were filled with shock and nervousness.
Behind Ling'e, the image of a book slowly floated. It was becoming more solid, and the word 'stable' on it became clearer.
Could it be because of that?
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched. Soon… he admitted it again. Above the gray cloud, the power of heavenly punishment was about to descend. The immortals of the Immortal Du Sect and Ling'e, who was undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence, looked at him. What should I do…
What else can I do? I'll endure it.
Fortunately, because he had been struck by the Heavenly Punishment many times, Li Changshou had already established an emergency response to the Heavenly Punishment in the wilderness. Facing the Heavenly Punishment, he felt more confident. After being sick for a long time, Li Changshou could already tell whether the Heavenly Punishment was a punishment or an extermination punishment. The Heavenly Punishment that he had suffered was naturally a punishment. Otherwise, he would have long been dead.
According to the frequency of the Heavenly Punishment's fluctuations and the total amount of Heavenly Punishment contained in the gray cloud, it should be the same this time. The Heavenly Punishment did not wait for anyone. At that moment, it was almost ready and was about to descend… Li Changshou opened his left sleeve and a sanguine gem flew out. The gem flew into the distance and flew hundreds of kilometers away in the blink of an eye.
The gray cloud disappeared without a sound. When it reappeared, there was a bolt of purple-red divine lightning that was as thick as a water bucket above the gem!
The color of the world changed, and the wind and clouds stopped moving!
The gem smashed into the mountains below, causing them to collapse! The expressions of the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect changed. Fortunately, there were not many people in the sect who liked to gasp. Otherwise, the scene would definitely be spectacular. Ling'e thought of something and looked nervously at the collapsed mountain hundreds of kilometers away. She could not even care about her Heavenly Tribulation… Senior Brother!
"Focus on transcending the tribulation."
Li Changshou's voice entered her ears again. He was still very calm. Ling'e subconsciously looked at her senior brother, who was two and a half kilometers behind her.
The person standing there was naturally Li Changshou's paper effigy.
The thing that was thrown out just now was the small box that Li Changshou's main body was hiding in after using the transformation technique. He hid his main body on the paper effigy. Then, the paper effigy went out to cheer for his junior sister. That was equivalent to his main body attending personally… Right?
Li Changshou, who had just been struck by the Heavenly Punishment, continued to send a voice transmission. "Don't worry. I've already withstood Heavenly Punishments like this many times. Just quickly become an immortal."
Ling'e hurriedly agreed and felt touched. Although I don't know the exact reason, Senior Brother did it for me…
Boom! Boom!
Lightning spots flickered above Ling'e's head. The huge Tribulation Cloud, which was 50 kilometers in diameter, slowly pressed down, and the spiritual energy within 500 kilometers quickly boiled.
A pool of blue divine lightning fell from the Tribulation Cloud like a pearl curtain and a waterfall, landing on Ling'e's head! Ling'e's expression was solemn. The image of the book behind her became clearer. Her slender hand moved like a cloud and was as fast as an illusion. According to the power of the Thunder Tribulation, she circulated enough Dharma powers and condensed three Dharma power barriers above her head. As the lightning fell, the dark world was illuminated, and the Immortal Du Sect's immortals' attention was drawn back.
Qi Yuan cried out, "Is this Lingle's first Thunder Tribulation?"
"Nine Lightnings Heavenly Tribulation! It's the legendary Nine Lightnings Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Could it be that the Immortal Du Sect is going to produce another Golden Immortal!?! Anyone who can transcend the ninth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation will be blessed with longevity!" "Hahaha!"
Jiang Lin'er clutched her waist and laughed. "My grand-disciple has the potential of a Golden Immortal!"
At the same time, a second bolt of purple-red lightning struck from 750 kilometers away…
However, only immortals above the Heaven Immortal realm could see the Heavenly Punishment's Divine Lightning. Li Changshou hid underground and endured the Heavenly Punishment while paying attention to Ling'e's Heavenly Tribulation. At the same time, he spread his immortal senses as far as possible to prevent the Heavenly Punishment from attracting any experts and threatening him. Junior Sister's Heavenly Tribulation…
As a senior brother, I'm really tired!
At the gate of the Immortal Du Sect, Ling'e was safe and sound after resisting the first Heavenly Tribulation. Her Dao Body already had the first immortal aura.
As per her senior brother's instructions, she absorbed the immortal aura into her body and protected her heart meridians. She quickly integrated it into her Dharma powers. The Immortal Ascension Tribulation was more haste. After all, it was not a big deal for a Postnatal lifeform to become an immortal.
The second and third Heavenly Tribulation descended one after another. Each time, the lightning pool would collapse and the lightning would fall like a waterfall. Ling'e was able to deal with them easily. She had also swallowed pills that could continuously restore her Dharma powers and maintained the abundance of her Dharma powers. Senior Brother did not give her that many Spirit Pills for her to scrimp and save them.
She ought to use it when she should. Immortal Ascension was the beginning and the foundation of everything!
At that moment, a disciple of Little Qiong Peak had already escaped more than 1,500 kilometers and was silently welcoming the third Heavenly Punishment.
In front of the mountain gate, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou flew to Li Changshou's paper effigy and asked, "Changshou, are you… alright?"
Although Li Changshou's heart was bleeding and his body was in pain, he still bowed and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader. I'm fine. However, Sect Leader, can you help me conceal the matter regarding the Heavenly Punishment? Due to some reasons that I cannot say, I cannot expose my other identities in Ren School… Sect Leader, please grant me my wish!"
Ji Wuyou could not help but reveal a knowing smile. He said warmly, "Don't worry. I understand. Tell me how to cooperate with
you."
Li Changshou quietly sent a voice transmission and said a few words. When he spoke, he even endured the fourth Heavenly Punishment. The paper effigy could not help but shiver. The injury was not serious, but it was really painful. After a while, Ji Wuyou coughed and said calmly, "Changshou, the Magi Blood Soul Gem I gave you is for you to figure out the Dao of array formations. Today, the Blood Soul Gem provoked the Heavenly Punishment and even flew away on its own. What punishment do you deserve?"
Li Changshou hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. "Sect Leader, please punish me!"
"Yes, I'll punish you by not giving you any monthly allowance for 30 years. After your junior sister transcends the tribulation, you will stay in the Little Qiong Peak for 30 years. Are you willing to accept this?" "I lost my treasure and so I am willing to accept punishment!"
Ji Wuyou nodded and continued to stand in front of Li Changshou, watching Lingle transcend the tribulation on the desolate mountain.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. His main body looked at the gray cloud. The gray cloud seemed to be… resting in the middle. Fortunately, the Heavenly Punishment this time was not too ruthless.
After enduring four Heavenly Punishments, Li Changshou's injuries were not too serious.
At that moment, he finally had a chance to add that sentence…
"I am willing to accept the punishment. Thank you, Heavenly Dao, for rushing over to lecture
me."
He felt much more at ease.
Then, Li Changshou looked down at his charred Dao Body and used his immortal power to seal his injuries. He raised his hand and swallowed a pill. He used the Wind Escape technique and rushed hundreds of kilometers away to continue receiving the Heavenly Punishment. The fifth Heavenly Punishment arrived late. Its power was similar to the first four. Li Changshou endured it and quickly healed himself. At the same time, he did not forget to observe his junior sister's movements.
He felt a little unstable since he did not remind his junior sister to take the pills and use the Dharma spells in time.
Fortunately…
Although Li Changshou was a little depressed after being punished by the Heavenly Dao, the situation when Ling'e transcended the Heavenly Tribulation was within his expectations.
In fact, every time a Heavenly Tribulation descended, Ling'e would be able to retain a few percent of her Dharma powers, which was similar to what Li Changshou had expected.
This is the junior sister that I brought up!
Ling'e's seventh Heavenly Tribulation, which was mixed with purple lightning, flattened the mountain below. Blood seeped out of Ling'e's forehead and shoulders, and her dress was slightly tattered.
en r
S
Ling'e nonetheless divided a portion of her Dharma powers and wrapped herself up tightly. Her eyes were filled with determination.
She did not know if it was because she could not be seen by anyone other than her senior brother, or if it was because she felt that she had to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal and thus felt overjoyed.
However… they were all beliefs! When the eighth Heavenly Tribulation landed, Ling'e inevitably suffered injuries. However, after consuming a few third-grade and fourth-grade healing Spirit Pills, her injuries were immediately suppressed. In short, there was no danger. However, when the Tribulation Clouds in the sky collapsed and revealed a phenomena of nine thousand-feet-tall immortals, Li Changshou, who had just survived the seventh Heavenly Punishment, felt a little worried.
There should be one more Heavenly Punishment. There were not many tribulations that were of the power of the Heavenly Punishment left.
The power of his junior sister's last Heavenly Tribulation was beyond Li Changshou's expectations…
It was not strong.
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao had temporarily divided a portion of the Heavenly Dao's power to turn it into Heavenly Punishment in order to strike me, causing the power of Ling'e's Heavenly Tribulation to weaken?
No matter what, it was naturally a good thing.
At that moment, 80% of Ling'e's Dao Body had transformed into an immortal body. According to that deduction, after the last bolt of lightning, her immortal foundation would definitely be perfect.
In the sky, the nine fairies with blurry figures raised their hands. A ball of purple lightning that was more than a thousand feet in diameter quickly condensed.
The lightning ball pressed down, and the phenomena of the nine fairies shattered from top to bottom, turning into clouds that filled the sky. However, in the blink of an eye, the Thunder Tribulation that seemed to be about to sink the ground crashed down on Ling'e! Many disciples in the Immortal Du Sect held their breaths. The disciples who had just transcended the Heavenly Tribulation felt their foreheads go numb as they exclaimed in admiration.
The stronger the Heavenly Tribulation was, the higher the potential one had after becoming an immortal.
Ling'e's Heavenly Tribulation was so dangerous but she had a high chance of surviving it…
She had the demeanor of a Golden Immortal. She was indeed worthy of being called an "immortal seedling'. "Senior Brother!"
Lan Lingle, who was facing the lightning ball in the sky, suddenly turned around. Although she could vaguely sense that her senior brother was a paper effigy, she could not suppress the urge in her heart. She knew that her senior brother did not like to be flamboyant, so she used the Wind Speech Incantation to send a gentle voice transmission to Li Changshou.
Then, Ling'e turned around and faced the Thunder Tribulation that was falling from the sky. Her graceful figure jumped up from the sky above the mountain. Her black hair danced wildly, and her skirt fluttered.
She held her sword and slashed the lightning!
She charged straight into the Thunder Tribulation and unleashed all her Dharma powers! "Senior Brother… I will definitely become your Dao companion…"
In a deep pit 1,500 kilometers away, Li Changshou lay at the bottom of the pit. His body was as black as charcoal. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
If she is going to transcend the tribulation, so be it. Why is she being so emotional?
You still dare to force your way through the Thunder Tribulation and act cool. The stone slabs on the mountain should not be enough for you to write on and wipe… Li Changshou took a deep breath and quickly recovered his immortal power. He used Earth Escape and disappeared from the bottom of the pit. Just as he was about to rush back to the Immortal Du Sect and return to the Little Qiong Peak to recuperate, Li Changshou suddenly exclaimed softly. His immortal senses captured that there was a black leopard carrying a young girl on its back in the south-east direction, which was only a thousand kilometers away from him. It was speeding through the forest. This black leopard…
For some reason, Li Changshou felt a sense of mystery.
However, his main body was injured at that moment. He would not act rashly. He only casually sent a paper effigy that was in the Golden Immortal realm, wanting to see why the two weak demons would appear there. Why does this black leopard give me a… strange sense of familiarity?
Report chapter
Chapter 298 Changgeng Teases The Black Leopard According to Orders
In front of the Immortal Du Sect's gate, immortal light lingered and auspicious clouds filled the sky. A beam of immortal light shone from the sky and landed on Ling'e. Ling'e put her sword on her left hand and stood quietly on the ganoderma-shaped cloud. She allowed the fairies around her to dance and the immortals to congratulate her. However, she looked into the depths of the sky and saw something…
She should be comprehending the sublimation of her life realm.
As Li Changshou thought about that, the paper effigy quietly retreated while the figures rode past him on clouds.
The most important thing now was to bring his main body back to the Little Qiong Peak. It was too dangerous to wander outside with injuries.
Is this the Immortal Realm?
Ling'e stared at the void and the door of the Great Dao in front of her. Her thoughts drifted elsewhere. I'm an immortal now. If I have a child with Senior Brother in the future, will our child also be an immortal…
Senior Brother… Son…
Ah, what nonsense am I thinking about? How embarrassing!
Ling'e's face turned red, and she let out a moan. A wisp of white smoke appeared above her head and curled up from the immortal light. After her Immortal Ascension, the amount of steam had increased significantly. Right, where's Senior Brother?
Listening to Grandmaster Jiang Lin'er's laughter from afar, Ling'e temporarily put away her inner thoughts and turned around to search on the cloud.
Ling'e subconsciously stood on her tiptoes, only to see the figures approaching… She was familiar with some of them while some were strangers to her. She was either close to them or had only met them a few times. They were far less important than the figure that had disappeared.
Stupid Senior Brother…
He did not even congratulate me!
Ling'e pouted, feeling aggrieved. However, she was reminded of her senior brother's constant reminders before and after the Tribulation Transcendence. She pursed her lips and smiled happily.
Following that, numerous insights surged into her heart… Ling'e's Dao heart seemed to have an additional spiritual spring. The insights that she had never had before kept gushing out. The Great Dao was bright, and everything was harmonious.
There were some thoughts in Ling'e's beautiful eyes. She bowed to the many relatives and fellow disciples who were about to fly over. Then, she folded her skirt and sat cross-legged. A rich Dao rune appeared around
her.
At that moment, Ling'e had a question.
What is my Dao? From the moment she started cultivating until today, the answers she obtained from the path she took and the problems she encountered all came from her senior brother.
Even the principles that her master had taught at the beginning had been corrected by her senior brother later on. Is my Dao imitating Senior Brother's Dao?
Not entirely. Senior Brother once said that the Great Dao is born naturally. It does not move according to one's heart.
Dao comes from the heart, not from the world. The rationale is to do the right thing. Every living being has their own Dao. The Dao is born from oneself. The guidance and insights that Senior Brother had given me were only to make the process of comprehending the Great Dao and condensing my own Dao as simple as possible.
Now, after pushing open the mysterious door, the Dao mark was right in front of her.
Ling'e's mind was calm. She accepted, experienced, and felt everything. As she recalled her senior brother's figure, she gradually sank into the Great Dao…
Behind Ling'e, the colorful immortal light condensed into a book. The book slowly turned over a page and shone brightly. The flowers of the sky fell gently, and the clouds drifted.
"Don't go over. Ling'e is ascending. Don't disturb her."
Jiang Lin'er transmitted her voice to various places. The phenomenon around Ling'e made the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect stop as they dared not move forward… Sect Leader Ji Wuyou personally set up a layer of immortal power barrier and sent Ling'e back to the Immortal Du Sect and to the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou, who had already picked up his main body, set off from the Little Qiong Peak. He carefully moved Ling'e, who had fallen into the Dao Enlightenment realm, back to the straw hut by the lake. He activated layers of restrictions to let her cultivate in peace. The Nine Heavenly Tribulations were no small matter.
The entire sect was completely alarmed. Many Peak Leaders and elders brought their proud disciples to the Little Qiong Peak to congratulate her.
Li Changshou followed behind his master, Qi Yuan. His master, Qi Yuan, followed behind his grandmaster, Jiang Lin'er, and kept welcoming and sending the guests off. It was rare for the Little Qiong Peak to be so lively…
However, Li Changshou's attention was not focused on that. He was multitasking. Apart from healing himself, he also placed a portion of his attention on a Golden Immortal realm paper effigy. He secretly stared at the demon couple. Because of that, Li Changshou's doubts and shock increased.
Who is this leopard demon?
Perhaps it was because Li Changshou had been punished by the Heavenly Punishment many times and was now the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, he was especially sensitive to special Dao runes related to the Heavenly Dao. In particular, he had a close relationship with a friendly fellow Daoist whose surname was Hua. He often sensed the hidden power of the Heavenly Dao's protection from that fellow Daoist… When Li Changshou first saw the black leopard, he only felt that it was inexplicably familiar. However, after secretly following it for a while, Li Changshou was shocked! He could sense a wisp of the protection of the Heavenly Dao from the black leopard! Black-fur leopard spirit…
It is protected by the Heavenly Dao…
Could it be that I accidentally discovered that extraordinary one who's driven about the tribulation?
However, if this is Eunuch Shen, the 'Son of Tribulation' of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, why would he appear here with a female demon and run around in the fields?
Where did that sense of familiarity come from?
What should I do…
Li Changshou could not help but think carefully. He had already jumped out of the God-Conferment Tribulation. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation had nothing to do with him. Even if the black leopard was really Shen Gongbao, he did not need to plot against
it.
There was nothing to plot against either. It was better for him to avoid such a huge karma.
I'll be steady, take it easy and pretend that I did not see the black leopard.
Li Changshou's paper effigy stopped using Earth Escape underground. He used his immortal senses to take a few more glances at the black leopard before turning around to leave.
Suddenly, Li Changshou felt like someone was playing a zither in his heart. The Dao was ethereal, and the true meaning of inaction was revealed.
The familiar obscure Dao runes, the familiar voice transmission, the familiar frequency of the trembling of the Great Dao…
Go.
Just one word was condensed in Li Changshou's heart. Li Changshou was shocked. He emerged from the ground and bowed to the sky. Then, he turned around and chased after the black leopard without hesitation.
The Saint had given another order!
It was the Dao runes of the Saint whom he had not seen for a long time, the orders of the Saint that he had been waiting for for a long time! Finally, Li Changshou confirmed that the Grand Pure One was paying attention to him, the Little Daoist Master. His safety factor soared!
However, speaking of which, the Saint had only given him the word 'go'. What did it mean? Li Changshou comprehended it carefully and quickly gained something. The Saint should be asking me to do what I wanted to do previously. Or, he should be telling me to follow behind the black leopard and help it survive some disasters… What did I want to do previously?
I wanted to confirm the true identity of the black leopard.
However, the Saint had now personally given the order to verify the black leopard's identity. That fellow must be Shen Bao, who had racked his brains and put in a lot of effort in order to have more true experts in the Dao Sect in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation of the Heavenly Courts! After thinking about it, Li Changshou carefully pondered for a few hours. Finally, he decided to follow the instructions given by the word "go" and complete the few things that he wanted to do after discovering that the black leopard was protected by the Heavenly Dao… It was already late at night. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. There was a thin layer of fog. Li Changshou deduced the path that the demonic couple would choose. The Golden Immortal realm paper effigy took the lead and left behind an old paper effigy along the way. When the black leopard carried the young girl to that place, Li Changshou's paper effigy transformed into a slightly plump old man and walked out of a huge tree. He carried the dust and appeared in the black leopard's vision. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait." That was the first thing! He shouted at Shen Gongbao, "Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
The black leopard hurriedly stopped running and almost shook his wife off his back.
The demon couple looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The young girl jumped down from the black leopard's back gracefully. She held a pair of daggers in her hands and her face turned cold.
The black leopard stood up from the ground and transformed into a middle-aged man. He blocked the young girl behind him and looked at Li Changshou warily. At that moment, Li Changshou's paper effigy rode a cloud forward. He smiled and shook the dust off his face.
"Fellow Daoists, why are you here? Where are you going?"
The couple looked at each other in shock and apprehension.
This old man with an unfathomable cultivation… won't kill us? "Fellow… Fellow Daoist." The black leopard cupped his hands and said, "The two of us are only passing by this place. We have not harmed anyone. We are not greedy for treasures. We just want to go to the south… to visit our relatives." Visit relatives?
Li Changshou squinted and chuckled. He asked again, "Then, where did you come from? Do you have a name?" "We are all wild fairies who have taken human form." The black leopard looked at his wife with a gentle gaze. "I'm Ah Bao. Her name is Miao Miao. Senior, can you let us go this time? We are really not going to go to the South Continent to harm people. We just want to go there to visit our relatives." The demoness held onto the black leopard's arm and leaned against him as if no one was around.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Shen Gongbao is actually showing off his loving relationship in front of me?!
Ah Bao…
Is this really the Saint's pawn that will stir up the Three Sects in the future?
Why does the Saint want me to meet him?
No matter what, I should form a good relationship with him first.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be nervous. There is no negative karma on the two of you. I don't have the intention to kill demons. The reason why I appeared to meet you is because I felt that I had seen you somewhere before. I felt a sense of familiarity. Come, take this."
As he spoke, Li Changshou took out two storage Dharma treasures. There were two middle-grade immortal treasures and some Spirit Stones in them. He used his immortal power to push them to the couple.
"Well…"
The couple looked at each other. They then looked at the Dharma treasure that had floated in front of them and did not know if they should take it. "Husband." The water demon, Miao Miao, gently pulled the black leopard's arm. "That person is gone." The black leopard looked up and saw that there was no one in front. After hesitating for a while, the Black Panther Spirit picked up two bracelets. When it saw the treasures and Spirit Stones inside, it was excited.
"Milady, we have Dharma treasures to use!"
"Yes, is this also the good karma of your previous life?" Of his previous life?
Li Changshou's eyes lit up as he hid in the dark. He quickly captured the keyword. "I can't remember that. I can only remember a little bit of my previous life's memories." The black leopard sighed softly. His eyes were filled with emotions.
"However, this senior who's an expert, treated me so well and said that I looked familiar to him… Ah, I won't say anymore. I wish him a good life!" "Husband!"
The water demon, Miao Miao, quickly covered the black panther's mouth and said anxiously, "You just!" The black leopard was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had slapped himself.
"My silly mouth! Why do I keep forgetting that!?!"
Underground, a question mark slowly appeared on Li Changshou's paper effigy's forehead.
What is going on?
At that moment, Li Changshou's main body, which was recuperating in the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak, spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the immortal power that had suddenly gone astray in shock.
Why did I suddenly vomit blood? How many years had it been? He was a disciple of Ren School who was stable, straight to the core. He had never made any mistakes when he was circulating the Qi. He was already a Golden Immortal. Why did such a superficial problem suddenly appear?! Then, Li Changshou's paper effigy heard the demoness's reprimand…
"Husband, you can't say that easily! You said that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me. On the second day, a demoness visited you and said that she was your old lover. You said that we would definitely be safe and sound. However, three days later, a great demon came to our door and forcefully occupied our Cave Abode… Ah, you might as well curse that senior just now." Black Panther sighed. "Madam, the mystical ability of my mouth will be ineffective if it's used deliberately. It can only be used unintentionally."
Li Changshou roughly understood something after hearing that.
He was indeed the son of the Great Tribulation.
The sentence "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment" was really not something that could be used by anyone just by saying it casually. Only the black leopard could use it… However, Li Changshou did not believe him completely. He immediately began a few "experiments".
He directed two small scenes in front.
The first scene was a battle between two human Qi Refinement cultivators. Both sides were evenly matched, but at the final moment, both parties were heavily injured and could not move.
The couple witnessed the scene with their own eyes. However, they only minded their own business and avoided it. They were not greedy and did not want to attack. Instead, they wanted to take a detour and leave.
When Li Changshou saw that, he immediately made the two paper effigies fake their deaths and deliberately revealed some treasures. The black leopard and his wife discussed for a while. Although they were reluctant, they still left quickly… Li Changshou had a good impression of the black leopard because he valued his life. In the second scene, Li Changshou arranged for the paper effigies to transform into a few human Qi Refinement cultivators to attack the black leopard and his wife, and then capture them. The black leopard was so angry that he kept cursing As for the injuries that Li Changshou's main body had sustained from the Heavenly Punishment, they began to speed up and recover amid the curses!
Is it really useful?
Then, a masked expert who was emitting demonic aura appeared and chased the human cultivators away. He saved the couple and gave them some pills. The black leopard was extremely grateful. Just as he was about to offer his blessings, the water demon reminded him in time and interrupted his "casting".
This time, Li Changshou keenly captured traces of Dao runes circulating…
The talent of the black leopard was almost confirmed.
The Heavenly Dao Toxic Jinx! It was definitely the Heavenly Dao Toxic Jinx!
Li Changshou thought about it carefully. No matter what, he had to keep a distance from the black leopard. His mystical ability was strange and unpredictable. It was impossible to guard against it. It was best if he did not let the other party know his name. He would hide as far as he could. With the orders of the Saint, Li Changshou did not dare to leave easily. He followed secretly.
The black leopard led the water demon, Miao Miao, to hide in all directions. They passed through the territories of many immortal sects in the East Continent. After half a month, they arrived at their destination.
They arrived in a forest at the border of the South Continent that intersected the East Continent, and the Middle Continent. At that moment, Li Changshou knew that the black panther was there to search for treasures. He was looking for some of the "legacies" left behind in his previous life. The process of searching for treasures was quite smooth. The black leopard found a stone wall in the valley in the middle of the forest. After searching the stone wall, he opened a hidden stone door and entered with the Water Demon Miao Miao…
Li Changshou heard the black leopard shout happily after finding a large number of Spirit Stones and Dharma treasures.
"Milady! We can cultivate peacefully from now on! These Spirit Stones are enough for us to become Heaven Immortals!" However, just as black leopard finished speaking, Li Changshou's immortal senses captured a few demon experts flying over from the South Continent. They flew back to the valley while chatting and laughing… In the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with his hand. He was impressed.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly thought of something. Perhaps he could really make the leopard speak for him… Slaying demons in the Heavenly Courts.
Report chapter
Chapter 299 Secret Trump Card
After the black leopard demon gave him his blessing, a few demons returned while chatting and laughing Li Changshou hid in the dark and observed. Then, he realized that the demons were only returning to their own Cave Abodes. The Cave Abode was hidden in the shallow valley.
The few demons had "accidentally" discovered the Cave Abode that the black leopard demon had just opened. They immediately sent their sincere greetings to their neighbors.
They had captured the water demon and hit the black leopard demon. Just as they were about to humiliate the water demon in front of the black leopard, a breeze blew past. The demons rolled their eyes and fell to the ground. Their auras dissipated and their demon cores lost their color.
It was just a Heaven Immortal realm demon that was leading a few demons in the Perfected Immortal realm. Li Changshou's Golden Immortal paper effigy was very simple…
He used poisonous powder and incapacitating agents to deal with them.
If he could not waste immortal power, he would not waste it. That was the manual for the paper effigy.
Then, Li Changshou appeared outside the Cave Abode on a cloud and chuckled.
The leopard demon dragged the water demon, Miao Miao, out. When it saw Li Changshou, it bent its legs and knelt down.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving me! Senior, you're really…" "Shut up!" Li Changshou and the demoness shouted almost at the same time.
The black leopard shivered and smiled bitterly.
Li Changshou continued, "Don't think about congratulating me in your head. I'm unlucky and can't take it."
The black leopard did not know whether to laugh or cry. It could only kowtow repeatedly.
"Thank you for saving my life, Senior! Please come in and rest!"
Li Changshou nodded calmly and said earnestly, "Ah Bao, I saved you once. Perhaps I can save you a second time, but I might not be able to save your life a third or fourth time. I'll leave now. You and your wife can cultivate here in peace. Don't say anything else… It's better to be down-to-earth and do everything well, one by one. Let your actions speak louder than words. Do you understand?"
The black leopard fell into deep thought and bowed deeply. "I understand!"
Following that, Li Changshou looked at the water demon Miao Miao with a complicated gaze.
He felt a little puzzled and asked, "I'm a little puzzled. Why did your wife… Could it be that you're unhappy with your wife!?!"
"Senior, you've misunderstood. My wife was being grateful to you…"
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the black leopard's head flew towards the left. Its body spun in a straight line from its head to its feet 36 times!
The hand, which was as fast as an illusion, maintained the final pause in its slapping motion. Then, it was calmly retracted and replaced by the other hand that was placed on the hem of its owner, the Water Demon Miaomiao's skirt.
She smiled in embarrassment and whispered, "Senior, you're quick."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Ah Bao quickly got up and wiped the corners of his eyes with his swollen right cheek.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Senior."
"Very good." Li Changshou nodded calmly and said, "I'll leave now. Ah Bao, just focus on your cultivation."
"Senior! Senior!"
The black leopard shouted and stopped Li Changshou. Then, it asked nervously, "Senior, can you tell me the truth? Do you like my communication skills? If you like it, I will definitely repay you for saving my life just now…"
Li Changshou shouted, "Wait!"
The Black Panther Spirit quickly shut up and swallowed his words.
"I don't want you to be loyal to me. You have nothing to do with me." Li Changshou deliberated over his words. "I'm not plotting anything against you. I also know that your mouth is not effective if you deliberately want it to work.
To be honest, I just find your mystical ability a little strange.
A talent like you is needed for the great prosperity of the demon race.
"You can cultivate here in peace. You will naturally have a place to shine and prosper after nurturing demons for a thousand years. Take these pills and use them to assist you and your wife in their cultivation."
The black leopard demon was touched and bowed to Li Changshou with a Dao salute again.
Li Changshou turned around to leave and flew into the sky on a cloud.
The black leopard demon shouted, "Senior, can you leave your name?"
He heard a voice coming from the clouds.
"I'm a cultivator myself. Don't ask about the affairs of the world. Just call me Daoist Lu Ya."
The black leopard demon muttered softly and praised, "Senior Lu Ya is really…
I can't say, I can't say. Phew!
Milady, quickly get a memorial tablet and write down the name of this senior. Although I can't open my mouth to wish or think about it, I can still set up a memorial tablet and offer incense every day."
"Husband." The water demon, Miao Miao, walked forward and said softly, "It's all because of your natural mystical abilities. We have been taken care of by an expert." "The good days are still… Ahem! Ahem!"
The black leopard shut up in time and said, "I will deal with the corpse first. Madam, go and set up the memorial tablet."
"Yes." The water demon, Miao Miao, answered in a low voice. The couple immediately got busy. On the other side, Li Changshou naturally did not go far. When he heard the black leopard's words, he smiled and squinted…
He had left two paper effigies there to protect and monitor the black leopard demon in the future.
He thought about the matter of the Heavenly Courts killing demons.
The time was not ripe yet.
To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Courts were not considered a high-end combat force. The overall strength of the troops was not even comparable to the overall strength of the demons. How could they defeat the demons?
The deep-sea demons were just a branch of the demon race. Furthermore, they had lost a large number of experts during the battle with the dragon race. It was easy to deal with them.
However, the remnants of the Demon Court at the border of the North Continent and the Aparagodānīya Continent did not lack powerful experts from the older generation. To the current Heavenly Courts, this was a nightmare.
Demon-Slaying was just a plan for the Heavenly Courts to make a name for themselves and earn merit in the future. The black leopard would be considered a strategic-level Dharma treasure.
Later, I will deceive… Ahem, I will nurture this black leopard's approval of the demon race. I will make the black leopard shut his mouth and meditate. Then, he will sincerely seek refuge from some powerful demon kings.
He will use his toxicity to destroy the demons' bank!
Li Changshou thought for a while and asked the two paper effigies who were monitoring the black leopard to stay further away from it.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was very careful with such a double-edged sword.
On Little Qiong Peak, while Li Changshou was tracking the black leopard, the place had already quietened down.
Li Changshou was not optimistic about Lingle's ascension. After all, she lacked experience and hardships. Most importantly, although she had strengthened her Dao base according to his method, there were still many gaps and flaws.
At most, she could only ascend to the intermediate stage to late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm.
Originally, Jiu Jiu had prepared all kinds of celebratory programs to celebrate Lingle's successful ascension. However, because Ling'e was in seclusion, she pushed all of them back.
Youqin Xuanya, on the other hand, felt the pressure. Ling'e began to enter seclusion, and so did she. It seemed that she did not want to fall behind Ling'e.
That day, Li Changshou had just settled the matter regarding the black leopard. He opened the furnace in the Pill Chamber to refine pills and analyze… The word 'go'. The methods of the Saint were definitely not something that he could imagine.
Actually, he did not need to think about what the Saint wanted him to do.
The Saint had escaped the shackles of the Great Dao. He sat on the shore of the long river of time and looked at the living beings in the Sea of Misery who were constantly hesitating. What they saw was different from what the living beings understood.
At that moment, Li Changshou had no choice but to make that assumption. As long as he had come into contact with the black leopard at that time, no matter what choice he made, be it plotting against the black leopard, using it, or killing it, it would all lead to the story that the Saint had seen. No matter what kind of guesses or schemes he had in his heart, as long as the Saint did not interfere directly, it meant that he had not deviated from the development path set by the Saint.
In terms of how to become an outstanding Saint's pawn and this game… When can I jump out?
There is no need to be a chess player. It would be good to just hide far, far away.
Most of the power of the True Samadhi Flames in the Pill Furnace had been reduced. The few precious pills inside were already on the verge of taking shape. A few figures flew over from the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued to focus on refining pills. He closed the array formation outside the Pill Chamber.
Those precious pills were the "Soul-Strengthening Pills" that were refined for Xiong Lingli. They were used to make up for the deficiencies of the Magihuman race's Connate Essence Soul, so that her strength could increase quickly.
Now, the captain of the Little Qiong Peak's security team had become the third last in terms of strength. That did not make sense.
By the way, the one in the last place would definitely be…
Jiu Yushi.
His master will never be last!
Exalted Wang Qing rode a cloud while Jiang Lin'er followed beside him. Jiu Wu stood behind and they arrived at the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak together.
Jiang Lin'er shouted, "Changshou, are you refining pills?"
"Grandmaster, Uncle-Grandmaster, Aunt-Master, please enter and wait for a while. I will be done with this batch of pills in a moment."
Li Changshou said warmly. Exalted Wang Qing smiled and nodded. He was a little impressed that Li Changshou did not choose to waste the pills to welcome them.
Although he was a Golden Immortal in the sect, it was not a big deal.
Soon, Li Changshou retracted the flames and slowly opened a crack on the lid of the pitch-black furnace. It emitted some medicinal fragrance and sealed the furnace, allowing the pills to settle in.
Li Changshou turned around and bowed with a Dao salute.
"I was rude."
"It's fine." Exalted Fugui waved his hand. Jiu Wu had already brought two chairs over for his master and master's wife to take a seat.
Jiang Lin'er cleared her throat and smiled. "Little Changshou, I'm here to talk to you about Ling'e's cultivation. He specially called me over to make you feel at ease. Don't deceive
me."
Li Changshou said seriously, "Grandmaster, you're being too serious. Why would I lie to
you?"
At most, he would make some arrangements.
Jiu Wu chuckled and looked like he was watching a show.
Exalted Wang Qing asked, "When Ling'e transcended the tribulation, I was cultivating in seclusion. I didn't see her. I heard from Lin'er that she transcended the nine-stage Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Yes."
"What about you?"
Exalted Wang Qing asked calmly. There was a threatening look in his eyes. Li Changshou was slightly nervous. He said softly, "My aptitude seems to be inferior to Junior Sister's." "Really?" Jiang Lin'er crossed her legs and smiled. "I don't believe you."
From the looks of it, Grandmaster Jiang Lin'er was going to ask about him today.
It was not difficult to crack such a trick.
If they were reasonable, he would be the one to stir up the emotions. If they were the ones to stir up the emotions, he would reason with them.
"Grandmaster, Uncle-Grandmaster," Li Changshou said firmly. "I was raised by Master and I have always been focused on cultivation.
en if I have some achievements now, I don't dare to forget his kindness. Grandmaster, you should be able to sense it. Ever since you returned to the sect, have I done anything to harm the sect? The reason Ling'e's Dao base is so deep is indeed because I had taught her wholeheartedly. She had also used extremely precious and hard-earned pills! I really don't want anything. I only want Little Qiong Peak to forever be in peace. I only want my friends and relatives to be safe!"
The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was still at Ling'e's place. Ling'e had not seen her senior brother after her Tribulation Transcendence.
His words were sincere. It really made Jiang Lin'er feel guilty and made Exalted Wang Qing feel emotional. Jiu Wu, the short Daoist, looked up and sighed. His eyes were slightly red.
"Changshou, don't say anymore," Jiang Lin'er said gently. "I know you're worried sick about the Little Qiong Peak. You're also worried sick about your master and junior sister but…"
Jiang Lin'er smiled slyly. "Today, we're not here to ask you about your cultivation level. A straightforward person would not do anything shady! Do you see the Golden Immortal beside me? I'm here to fulfill my promise to tie you up and throw you into Ling'e's room!"
As she spoke, Jiang Lin'er puffed out her chest and raised her head. She even patted her chest loudly. "I, Jiang Lin'er, mean what I say. Since I've said this, I have to do it!"
Exalted Wang Qing nodded slowly and said, "I'll help you with what you said, Milady."
Jiu Wu took out an immortal rope and smiled. "Changshou, look… It's quite difficult for me to do it. After all, it's Master's instructions."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
What a good move! It caught him off guard!
However, that was not a problem for him.
Li Changshou frowned and suddenly exclaimed, "Sect Leader, why are you here?" Exalted Wang Qing, Jiang Lin'er, and Jiu Wu turned to look at the same time. Li Changshou tapped his feet lightly and turned into a wisp of green smoke. He instantly used Earth Escape and retreated into the outer array formation.
Jiu Wu also heard a voice transmission.
"Uncle-Master, if you're loyal, you'll take the initiative to chase after me!"
Exalted Wang Qing chuckled. "This little disciple is actually so sly." "Master! I will go and chase after them!" Jiu Wu shouted. Without waiting for his master and master's wife to nod, he grabbed the immortal rope and rushed out.
Just as Exalted Wang Qing was about to move forward, he saw a brocade pouch embroidered with the word 'joy' on the ground. He stretched out his hand and picked up the brocade pouch. There was a pill inside. Li Changshou must have been in a hurry and accidentally dropped it.
"Lin'er, let's go…"
"Husband!"
Jiang Lin'er suddenly shouted softly at the side. She grabbed Exalted Wang Qing's arm with both hands. Jiang Lin'er's eyes were filled with a little confusion. She said in a low voice, "Let's go back first and let him off temporarily…"
"Lin'er, what's wrong?"
"Quickly bring me back using your escape technique."
Exalted Wang Qing was confused. However, he did as he was told. The two of them turned into a beam of light and flew back to the Heaven-Breaking Peak in the blink of an eye.
In the array formation outside the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou and Jiu Wu looked over…
Jiu Wu asked in confusion, "What pill was that?"
"It's an Immortal Sense Spirit Pill called the Flame of Heart Pill," Li Changshou said calmly. "If the person you love is holding it, you will not be able to resist at all."
Jiu Wu could not help but gasp. "What a powerful Spirit Pill!"
Li Changshou took out two bottles of pills
It was a solid third-grade Spirit Pill. Its effect was three times that of the Poisonous Dragon Wine. Most importantly, its medicinal properties could be continuously released.
"It's a new product. Use it well and keep it a secret."
"Understood!"
Jiu Wu snapped his fingers and grabbed the pill. He immediately laughed out loud.
This time, he had come with his master and master's wife. It was exactly as he had expected. His master and master's wife were easily sent away. Disciple-Nephew Changshou would even thank him with a gift.
Amazing, amazing!
"Changshou…"
"Uncle-Master, wait a moment." Li Changshou frowned slightly. He suddenly had an impulse.
He pinched his fingers and calculated. His spiritual will landed in the Sea God Temple of Anshui City and saw a familiar white-robed young man. He could not help but be surprised.
Report chapter
Chapter 300 Bring the Jade Emperor For "Fishing"
The Sea God Temple in Anshui City was destroyed by Ox-head and Horse-face…
Ahem, after it was demolished by the Asura Clan, he took the opportunity to expand and reconstruct it.
Now, the relationship between the Sea God and the dragon race was no longer the same as before. In order to express their gratitude to the Sea God, the dragon race mobilized the dragon race's craftsmen and numerous prawn soldiers and crab generals. With the enhancement of his immortal powers, it only took him half a month to build a new landmark building in Anshui City- the New Sea God Temple.
The size of the temple had increased several times. It was more solemn and magnificent.
The dragon race followed Li Changshou's arrangements and changed the main hall to the three-hall form.
The front hall was the Sea God Hall. There were Sea God statues, Great Guardian statues, True Dragon Guardians, and so on. After the devotees paid their respects to the Sea God, they would be able to walk around and enter the more solemn Middle Hall. The portrait of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was hanging high in the hall, and the Three Realms' Heavenly Emperor, whose face could not be seen, was seated in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. After paying respects to the portrait of the Heavenly Emperor, he took a detour and entered the rear hall. The decoration there was simple. There was only a Taiji Painting hanging in the middle.
Li Changshou had also thought of copying the portrait of the Saint in the Immortal Du Sect. However, he was afraid that the mortals would offend the Saints, so he only used the Taiji Painting to represent the Ren School.
After the Taiji Painting was the true core of the Sea God Temple. There was the Saint's brush and ink hung on the wall, and an inner hall with the power of the Taiji Painting.
At that moment, the white-robed young man, who had alarmed Li Changshou's spiritual will, was standing alone in a corner, admiring the murals created by the masters of the dragon race.
Many visitors who came to pay their respects would subconsciously ignore his existence and not disturb him with their gazes…
As for the Divine Envoys and devotees in charge of taking care of the temples, they had received Li Changshou's instructions previously. They would not stop the "immortals" if they encountered them.
The white-robed young man was clearly in a good mood. After he arrived, the smile on his face never faded.
Due to the story system that had been circulating in the Sea God Sect in the past ten years, the character of the "Heavenly Emperor" was heavily promoted. Most of the devotees who came to the Sea God Temple to pay their respects would go to the Middle Hall to pay their respects to the Heavenly Emperor's statue.
That was not all. The contents of the murals were also completely different. They added some content about the Heavenly Emperor to the content that was initially all about the Sea God.
Of course, the fun and unofficial historical versions of "The Secret Between The Sea God and the Widow of West Street" could not be changed to "The Secrets of The Heavenly Emperor, The Sea God, And The Widow of West Street".
They were meticulous and they paid attention to the details.
Just as the white-robed young man was getting excited, a voice transmission sounded from the rear hall. It sounded hurried.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The white-robed young man turned around and saw the familiar thin old immortal.
Li Changshou carried his horsetail whisk and walked over quickly. He ignored the shock of the devotees and the Divine Envoys and bowed to the white-robed young man. The white-robed young man waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite in front of mortals."
Li Changshou frowned slightly and quickly asked, "Your Majesty, why did you… come down using your real body?"
"The Heavenly Courts are fine. Come down and take a walk." The Jade Emperor chuckled. "Let's talk in a quiet place."
Li Changshou turned around and invited the Jade Emperor to the rear hall.
At that moment, Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and realized that there were a few white clouds in the sky far away. General Dongmu was waiting obediently with a large number of troops.
He should have been ordered by the Jade Emperor to not follow them.
They took a seat in the master's seats in the rear hall and the Divine Envoys served fragrant tea. Li Changshou personally served the tea and did not dare to be rude.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "My dear minister, your temple is improving."
"Previously, there was a demonic invasion. It destroyed this temple. The dragon race helped to repair it." Li Changshou stood at the side with a smile. He bowed slightly and stood in a relaxed posture. "Oh? What's the matter?"
"It's the Asura Clan…"
At that moment, Li Changshou told the Jade Emperor about the matter of the Asura creating a huge wreckage. The Jade Emperor frowned.
He should indeed frown.
Demons, Asuras, Primordial Beasts…
The Western Sect revealed more and more marginal forces. Regardless of the strength of the Saint or the difference in the disciples of the Saint, the overall framework of the Western Sect was already very "huge".
Those marginal forces were pawns that the Western Sect could easily abandon. They were all destroyed and would not harm the Western Sect.
The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "If the Western Sect obtains the dragon race, I'm afraid the Heavenly Courts will never rise. Fortunately, Changgeng, you are helping us." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I did not do anything. It's just that the Heavenly Courts are in a good position after gaining power. Your Majesty, you should enter the Three Realms."
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Taiqing should be the one taking care of me."
The Jade Emperor laughed loudly and winked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou could not help but frown and blink a few times.
The Jade Emperor nodded and blinked… Li Changshou lowered his head and pondered for a while. He felt helpless. The Jade Emperor had come down this time to find trouble with Lu Ya. Furthermore, he was rather confident that as long as he found Lu Ya, he would be able to kill him easily.
This…
The Jade Emperor said, "Dear Changgeng, why don't you bring me to the four seas to patrol?"
"Your Majesty, how can you take risks so easily?"
The white-robed Jade Emperor chuckled and said, "Why? Do you think that the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court is only hiding in the Heavenly Palace during the Great Magi-Demon War?"
"Well…" Li Changshou muttered to himself. He couldn't help but mumble a little.
Is the little leopard's Heavenly Dao poisonous enhancement that powerful?
As soon as he set up Daoist Lu Ya's memorial tablet to pay respects, the Jade Emperor appeared personally to cause trouble for him.
If this continues, wouldn't the script of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation have to be changed? "Your Majesty," Li Changshou said via voice transmission. "Pardon me for being bold to give you some advice. Your Majesty, you want to observe the suffering of living beings and the worries of the Three Realms. This is your pity. As a subordinate of the Heavenly Courts, I should not stop you. However, Your Majesty, you're related to the authority of the Heavenly Courts, the stability of the Three Realms, and the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Your Majesty, please prioritize your own safety and the overall situation of the Three Realms." "Sure!"
The white-robed Jade Emperor agreed with a serious expression. His eyes were filled with comfort.
The Jade Emperor continued, "Since that's the case, there's no need to delay any further. Shall we move now?"
Li Changshou smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to be more elegant or more formal?" "Searching for the remaining demons is just one of them. I can also go out and take a look to relieve my boredom," the Jade Emperor said with a smile. "Why don't we find a small boat and follow the waves to be at ease?"
Li Changshou bowed and accepted the order. He asked the Jade Emperor to wait for a while and immediately asked the Divine Envoys to set up the array.
After Li Changshou followed the Jade Emperor and strolled around Anshui City for a while, he rode a cloud to the harbor by the sea. There was already a wooden ship that was hundreds of feet long there. There were a few old musicians and a few popular dancers in Anshui City…
At the same time, above the clouds in the sky, General Dongmu used his immortal senses to observe the situation below and sighed. His Majesty trusts the Sea God the most…
I was the one who came first…
Ah, the person beside His Majesty has been replaced…
People will only pay attention to the newcomers. Who would listen to the old?
He heard a voice transmission. "General Dongmu, don't just stand there. The Jade Emperor is going to have fun in the four seas. Hurry and choose a few Heaven Generals with high cultivation levels, get them to change their clothes and come to protect him. If you don't fight for credit now, when will you?"
General Dongmu was shocked. Sea God is my brother!
At that moment, General Dongmu pointed out a few Heavenly Generals and changed into long robes and short shirts before landing on the sea.
They waited in front of the wooden ship. When the wooden ship arrived, General Dongmu bowed and apologized. He took the opportunity to board the wooden ship to watch the dance and listen to the song, ahem, to be the Jade Emperor's personal guard.
Li Changshou's Sea God divine power was finally useful today.
A ship!
In the main body of the Immortal Du Sect far away, his essence soul was holding onto the Sea God's Divine Power Treasure. The paper effigy immediately received the support of the Sea God's divine power.
He set up a wave of seawater and wrapped the wooden ship. It floated slightly above the surface of the sea. When it flew, it was extremely stable. The people on the ship would not notice any waves.
In the cabin, the mortal musicians were playing music with their hearts, and the dancers were dancing. They did not lose their bearing or composure. Everyone had a residence in Anshui City. Who had not seen a few immortals?
Moreover, they had paid more money!
Although the cabin was quite spacious, it was only an item from the mortal world after all. It was not too particular.
There was only a short table in the main cabin. The Jade Emperor sat in the main seat, while Li Changshou and General Dongmu accompanied him. They could only maintain a distance of five feet from the dancers.
Li Changshou also knew that the Jade Emperor did not come down to stroll around. Instead, he was getting a little anxious while waiting for his plan to be implemented. He wanted to personally descend to the mortal world to find Daoist Lu Ya.
Therefore, the ship flew towards the West Ocean.
At the very least, he had to go to the place where he met Daoist Lu Ya and accompany His Majesty…
On the way, the Jade Emperor and his two important ministers talked about the Heavenly Generals who had been rather active recently and arranged for them to be promoted.
As they spoke, the musicians and dancers could only sense that the immortals were smiling and chatting, but they could not hear what they were saying.
Originally, the conversation between the three ministers of the Heavenly Courts was quite normal. However, for some reason, the topic was shifted to the Queen Mother…
"Changgeng." The Jade Emperor frowned slightly. "The Queen Mother has been planning to hold a banquet at the Jade Pool recently. This time, she wants to invite some immortals from the three sects. This is also a token of appreciation from the Queen Mother. She wants to borrow the power of the Immortal Peach Banquet to make the Heavenly Courts more important to the immortals of the three sects. What do you think of this matter?" "This matter…"
Li Changshou pondered for a while and pondered carefully.
He wanted to say that it was inappropriate.
There were only two benefits for the Heavenly Courts to invite the immortals of the three sects to the Heavenly Courts to enjoy the immortal peaches. They could become liked by the immortals of the three sects and increase the Heavenly Courts' presence in the world.
However, the risks were high.
At that moment, most of the immortals from the three sects looked down on the Heavenly Courts. They felt that the Heavenly Courts were only established by the Dao Sect and that the three Saints were above the Heavenly Courts.
If the Heavenly Courts were to place too much emphasis on formalities and mention the position of the Heavenly Emperor, it would easily anger the disciples of the three sects.
As long as there was a little mockery, the matter would blow up.
Not to mention, there was a fake big shot like Daoist Randeng who might want to see the conflict between the Heavenly Courts and the Dao Sect.
Li Changshou said, "Your Majesty, I think the time is not ripe yet."
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Changgeng, when do you think it's time to hold the immortal peach banquet?".
Of course, he had to wait for the peach to ripen, the Tribulation to end, and the monkey to be born…
Ahem, just kidding.
"Seal the dragon race of the four seas and make the Heavenly Courts famous," Li Changshou said. "I think that the time is ripe."
The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded in approval.
General Dongmu listened obediently and did not have any intention to speak.
Li Changshou immediately told the Jade Emperor about the future development of the dragon race in detail. At that moment, they had already gained some initiative. There was no need to wait for the Western Sect to make a move.
However, he could not be too nervous. He had to be safe and steady.
The music was endless, and everyone was drinking together.
With the support of Li Changshou's Sea God divine power, the ship quickly flew past the southwest corner of the five continents and entered the West Ocean. The Jade Emperor, who was chatting happily with Li Changshou, suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Changgeng, 18,000 kilometers to the north-west, there seem to be a few dragon princes playing. It's just nice. I'll take this opportunity to see how the princes of the dragon race are like." Li Changshou smiled and nodded, but he was mumbling in his heart. Gathering of the Dragon Princes? Why did Ao Yi not tell me about this?
It is not the time to think about this now.
Li Changshou immediately adjusted the direction of the wooden ship and rushed towards the direction that the Jade Emperor had mentioned.
The Jade Emperor was also interested. "Come, come! I will pretend to be your supporting god later. Don't expose my identity. Since I have to use the dragon race in the future, I have to find out their background and know what I'm doing." Li Changshou explained, "Your Majesty, the dragon race has come from ancient times. They carry negative karma on their backs. Most of their clansmen are often in a drunken state, especially the few princes of the dragon race. According to my understanding, Ao Yi is the most promising among the princes of the dragon race."
"Ao Yi is indeed a good seedling. He can be of great use in the future," the Jade Emperor said with a nod. Then, he urged Li Changshou to change his seat.
Li Changshou braced himself and sat down. The Jade Emperor immediately hid his aura and restrained the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor. He did not reveal his merit or luck.
The Jade Emperor asked General Dongmu to transform into a middle-aged man before continuing to chat with Li Changshou.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
His Majesty was purely visiting the mortal world to see if he could meet Lu Ya.
He could not help the dragon race in this matter. It all depended on the performance of the dragon princes.
If he happened to encounter an unsightly situation, he would not need to help the dragon race. After all, the matter of the dragon race ascending to the heavens was a win-win collaboration for the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race.
The wooden ship sped forward, covering more than 15,000 kilometers.
From afar, he could see a huge seashell that was thousands of feet in diameter floating on the surface of the sea. The treasure was glowing, and groups of sea maidens danced in the air. Their music drifted for 50 kilometers.
The Immortal Flood Dragon troops were lined up at the edge of the sea, their faces solemn. On the east side of the seashell immortal ship, there were more than ten short tables. There were delicacies placed on them, and beautiful concubines surrounded them. More than ten young and middle-aged people were drinking and enjoying themselves. They were already a little unrestrained.
"Are we really going?"
Li Changshou asked softly.
"Go." The Jade Emperor squinted and smiled. He sent a voice transmission, "Dear subject, quickly release your aura and see how they react." This should be considered "dragon fishing", right?
Li Changshou sighed in his heart and did not do anything else. He released his aura and divine power fluctuations, shocking them from afar.
However, that shock really created a huge fish. "Hahahaha!"
On the short table beside the dragon sons, a handsome young man stood up. His eyes shone brightly, and his aura locked onto Li Changshou. His voice traveled thousands of kilometers.
"The Sea God actually took the initiative to look for me. It really saved me a lot of effort." This familiar aura…
That slightly arrogant voice…
Li Changshou frowned slightly. He had already recognized that fellow.
It was the primordial ferocious beast, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.
"Sea God, are you willing to talk to me again?"
