Chapter 301 Brother Yu, Your Path Is Blocked
What is going on? Daoist Lu Ya had yet to appear but another golden cicada jumped out. Originally, accompanying the Jade Emperor to suppress the coastline was already an unexpected change that was outside of Li Changshou's plan.
He thought that he could not dampen the Jade Emperor's mood. Besides, no one in the Three Realms dared to offend the Jade Emperor. Therefore, he decided to come out and take a look.
However, why is the direction of development so unstable today?
The people from the Western Sect are hiding at the Dragon Princes' gathering… There must be something wrong!
Li Changshou quickly thought about it and made a decision. He sent a voice transmission to the Jade Emperor in the cabin.
"Your Majesty, this person is an expert of the Western Sect. His name is Jin Chanzi. He has fought with me a few times in the past few decades. Today, the Dragon Princes' Gathering should have been his plan. We accidentally bumped into him.
I don't know what he is plotting, but it must be related to the dragon race." The Jade Emperor transmitted his voice calmly, "My dear minister, just pretend that I'm not here. Do what you have to do."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Your Majesty, when you were not here. This fellow came to the Sea God Temple to strip and perform a prayer dance. He did not even see me.
However, seeing the eagerness in the Jade Emperor's eyes, Li Changshou could not say that directly.
Come to think of it, His Majesty only wants to participate in such a major event in the Heavenly Courts…
"I accept your orders!"
Li Changshou agreed and sent a voice transmission to General Dongmu.
If there was a conflict later, he had to protect the Jade Emperor immediately. The strength of his paper effigy was limited. Even if he joined forces with General Dongmu, he would not be a match for Jin Chanzi. Moreover, there were many dragon troops there. The dragon race's position was uncertain…
If they really fought later, the Jade Emperor would probably protect the two Heavenly Courts' ministers. The Jade Emperor knew whether they were strong enough or not, but they had to have the right attitude and posture.
Li Changshou gestured for the dancers to rest for a while. He asked the musicians to stop playing and left the cabin with his horsetail whisk.
General Dongmu bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture. The Jade Emperor glared at him secretly. General Dongmu hurriedly straightened his back and smiled at the Jade Emperor. Just like that, the three of them stood on the deck of the ship. Li Changshou's divine power swayed and he sped along.
The Jade Emperor sent a voice transmission and asked with a smile, "Dear Changgeng, how do you usually deal with such enemies?"
"The strength of my incarnation is limited. It's not good at fighting. Most of them have some ideas."
Li Changshou did not turn around. He secretly sent a voice transmission. "This Jin Chanzi is ruthless. His main body is a Primordial Beast. Now, he is being favored by the Saint of the Western Sect who seems to want to take him in as a disciple. Recently, the Western Sect had schemed against the dragon race and he's the culprit behind that. It would be best if we can keep him here today."
"Alright!"
The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up. "Today, let me see how my beloved subordinate is going to fight the powerful people of the Western Sect!"
Li Changshou was speechless.
He said so much because he wanted to say that the Western Sect would definitely feel the pinch if he killed Jin Chanzi.
Although a golden cicada was not worthy for the Jade Emperor to personally take action, he clearly had the ability to kill his opponent directly, but he had to hide behind and watch the show.
That was a little… unstable.
Forget it. This is the Jade Emperor after all. I'm just a fourth-stage God. I have many things to do and don't have much merit. If others take a break, I'll work overtime. I can only rely on the Immortal Bean Soldiers for my troops. How could he fight with his wits?
How else could he fight with his wits…
Li Changshou began to call for help secretly.
First, his spiritual will descended in the Sea God Temple and intertwined with the jade statue next door. Soon, he contacted Ao Yi and asked him to immediately bring the experts of the dragon race that he could find and rush to the West Ocean as soon as possible. Li Changshou cut off his spiritual will after Ao Yi agreed. Soon after, he sent a paper effigy that looked like a young girl to the edge of the South Ocean from Anshui City. She blew a short flute at the sea.
However, in the blink of an eye, a fish appeared in the seawater. Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to the fish.
That fish was Daoist Wen Jing's puppet.
Li Changshou did not explain further. He only told Daoist Wen Jing to come to the West Ocean if she had the chance. She could not expose herself. She had to secretly meet him first.
After doing that, Li Changshou began to think about how he could stall for time. He had to consider his pride and the authority of the Heavenly Courts. At the same time, he had to make the Jade Emperor feel that… the battle was quite interesting.
Such matters were all about being reasonable and unexpected.
It seemed that he had to make use of the arrogance and stupidity in Jin Chanzi's nature…
"Hmph!"
At that moment, Li Changshou snorted coldly from thousands of kilometers away. His expression was cold as he flicked his horsetail whisk.
Jin Chanzi smiled and squinted when he saw that. He seemed rather smug.
At that moment, a few dragon princes stood up on the Seashell Immortal Boat. Their expressions were all different.
The princes of the West Ocean and the South Ocean Dragon Palace smiled calmly and remained unmoved. The Eldest Prince of the North Ocean Dragon Palace was puzzled, but he was still normal. The Crown Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Jia, was a little nervous. He frowned and looked at Jin Chanzi, who had suddenly stood up. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. 'Where did this fellow come from? Ao Jia's figure was slender, and his face was handsome. However, he was happy all year round, making him look thin. When he stood on the ship, he looked like he was dressed in a brocade robe. The horns on his head were not clear either.
At that moment, Ao Jia saw that the Sea God was coming from the southeast with an unfriendly expression. Then, an expert suddenly appeared and shouted, "Can the Sea God talk to me again?"
After thinking carefully, Ao Jia understood something
He had been set up!
Although Ao Jia usually led a carefree life, he was not a fool. He knew which path his father had chosen. At that moment, he made a prompt decision.
"Brother Sea God!"
Ao Jia shouted, looking anxious. He even passed Jin Chanzi and headed towards Li Changshou, who was 500 kilometers away. Upon seeing that, Jin Chanzi frowned slightly. He placed his hands behind his back, and a willow-leaf-shaped knife that was as thin as cicada wings appeared between his fingers. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Li Changshou keenly captured Jin Chanzi's actions. He squinted and said calmly, "Do you dare?"
A smile appeared on Jin Chanzi's lips. Just as the fingers on his back were about to be flicked gently, he suddenly stopped. What a strong killing intent! Suddenly, he heard a few dragon roars. Three figures flashed out of the seawater, but they did not cause any ripples. They formed a triangle and surrounded Jin Chanzi.
They were three old men with dragon heads. Their auras were stable and dignified. The scales on their faces were slightly sanguine, and their bodies were wrapped in a layer of negative karma that could be seen with the naked eye.
Ancient Battle Dragon!
At that moment, Jin Chanzi's expression changed.
The Sea God suddenly arrived…
The dragon race had ambushed such an expert…
It seems that my plan today has been seen through by the Sea God and the dragon race!
Why?
He had planned for a long time and found another way. He had secretly used the Western Sect's secret technique to affect the mind of the West Ocean Dragon Palace's Crown Prince. He was prepared to make use of this opportunity to take over the next generation of the dragon race.
The dragon race valued the inheritance of the younger generation very much. As long as he controlled more than half of the dragon race's next generation and put pressure on the dragon race in other aspects, why would the dragon race not collapse?
However, the plan had just begun. Today, he had finally managed to summon the three Dragon Kings of the South Ocean, the East Ocean, and the North Ocean Dragon Palace, respectively. He had also found the children of a few important dragon officials.
He had secretly made a move. At that moment, he had just moved two unimportant sons of dragon officials when the Sea God arrived!
As expected, he was indeed an existence that could make the Queen of the Mosquitoes suffer continuously.
"Hahaha!"
Jin Chanzi was not afraid at all when he was surrounded by the three experts of the dragon race. He laughed loudly and praised, "Sea God, you win!"
Huh?
Although Li Changshou's heart was filled with questions, he remained calm on the surface. He smiled casually, his eyes filled with disapproval. Behind him, the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu looked at each other.
General Dongmu's eyes were filled with admiration. Although he did not understand how the Sea God did it, he could not let His Majesty see that he did not understand.
The Jade Emperor also revealed a faint smile, as if everything was under his control. The eldest prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace had already flown in front of Li Changshou. An old man followed behind him and bowed deeply to Li Changshou.
"Brother Sea God! I was almost tricked by someone today. It's all thanks to Brother Sea God's timely arrival!"
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and asked the old man, "Why are you here?"
The elder from the dragon race hurriedly said, "Sea God, it was the Second Prince who found us and asked us to come and protect the Crown Prince." Ao Jia smiled and said, "So, Brother Sea God has already made arrangements!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
That matter was really not arranged by him. It should have been dealt with by Ao Yi.
Li Changshou said calmly, "Everyone, please attack and capture this ferocious beast!"
"There!"
The dragon-headed elder cupped his fists and answered. He turned around and let out an earth-shattering dragon roar. The three experts from the dragon race that surrounded Jin Chanzi attacked together. Jin Chanzi chuckled and disappeared in a strange manner. When he reappeared, he was already behind the confused prince of the North Ocean Dragon Palace.
A short knife that was as thin as wings was pressed against the Dragon Prince's neck!
At the same time, a few thin blades appeared on the backs of the necks of the West Ocean and the South Ocean Dragon Crown Prince!
The three Dragon Princes were instantly restrained. The three ancient battle dragons could only stop.
Seeing that, Ao Jia, who was thousands of kilometers away, immediately hid behind the dragon-headed elder and looked into the distance from behind the latter's shoulder.
Jin Chanzi's gaze swept across the surroundings. He was still calm and composed. Clearly, he had already planned that method to escape. He smiled and said, "I'm good at teleportation and have extreme speed. I'm afraid it will be troublesome if you want to keep me here. Sea God, why don't we take this opportunity to talk again? After talking to the Sea God the last time, I kept feeling that the Sea God had led me astray. I could not express my thoughts." Li Changshou said calmly, "I have nothing to talk to you about.
Jin Chanzi, do you really dare to kill these three Highnesses? Does the Western Sect want the dragon race to obey your orders or do you want the dragon race to fight you to death?" "I'm afraid the Sea God has misunderstood," Jin Chanzi said coldly. "I'm just an idle cultivator in the mountains. I have nothing to do with the spiritual mountains in the West." "Really?"
Li Changshou said calmly, "The Great Dao oath you made last time is still lingering in my ears. Why don't you dare to recognize your backer now? Could it be that he has been chased out?"
"What a joke!"
Jin Chanzi shouted coldly. This time, he was much more cautious and did not continue to argue. At that moment, Li Changshou heard a voice transmission. The voice was charming and gentle, but also a little timid. It was like a vibe of a delicate flower that was deliberately created.
"Sir, I'm already here. You can send a voice transmission to the spiritual fish in the sea. I'm hiding 500 kilometers away."
Daoist Wen Jing had already arrived.
They had not contacted each other for a period of time. Why did he say that he had changed?
Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission to the spiritual fish and instructed, "If Jin Chanzi can escape later, you will take the opportunity to save him. Remember not to reveal yourself. If Jin Chanzi can't escape later, you don't have to appear. Just pretend that you've never been here before."
Daoist Wen Jing immediately replied via voice transmission, "I will obey your orders, Lord. There are experts from the Western Sect hiding here. Please be careful." Li Changshou smiled when he heard that. He had already considered that. Just as he finished making arrangements for Daoist Wen Jing, he heard Jin Chanzi say loudly, "Why did the Sea God stop 300 kilometers away? Could he be afraid? If I'm not wrong, the Sea God is still using his incarnation. How can he not have the courage to talk to me?"
It was a provocation.
Li Changshou said calmly, "Those who discuss the Dao with me are all heroes. They are not small fries."
It was reverse psychology.
"What a hero." Jin Chanzi mocked. "If you want to talk about scoundrels, who are the two people behind you? From the looks of it, their auras are ordinary and they have some merit from the Heavenly Courts. They are just small gods of the Heavenly Courts. Why? Am I inferior to them?" General Dongmu shouted, "You!"
"Ah." The Jade Emperor interrupted General Dongmu with a smile. He did not say anything and just looked at Jin Chanzi quietly.
Li Changshou cursed.
"Absurd! Ridiculous! Jin Chanzi, you use your mystical abilities to talk about heroes, but you don't know that I'm talking about morals and character! Look at your actions. You are using the lives of the three Highnesses to threaten me. Do you still want to discuss the Dao with me? You can say that you have no shame. How can you not be called a scoundrel?"
"You, Sea God! You're sharp-tongued, but I can't beat you!"
A murderous glint flashed in Jin Chanzi's eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light surged and his figure disappeared! The three ancient battle dragons punched somewhere in the sky at the same time. The universe trembled and the clouds shattered, but they did not gain anything!
The battle dragon suddenly shouted, "Sea God, be careful!"
Li Changshou suddenly felt a sense of danger. A black vortex appeared on the surface of the ocean a thousand feet away. Six faint golden rays shot out from it!
At that moment, Li Changshou jumped from the left to the right and stood in front of the Jade Emperor! Li Changshou opened his arms. General Dongmu did not care about his own safety. The two of them looked as if they were ready to die. They were just short of shouting "protect me" and "protect me"…
The Jade Emperor was speechless. He almost slapped his right arm away.
Under the cover of Li Changshou and General Dongmu, the Jade Emperor pointed his finger gently. A ray of white light shone from above and covered Li Changshou's paper effigy.
With a few clanging sounds, the six thin golden blades were easily blocked by the white light…
Two beams of white light shot out from the Jade Emperor's eyes. The white light converged and condensed into a huge sword that slashed into the vortex!
A painful groan sounded from the vortex. A blurry figure trembled slightly and disappeared along with the vortex. Only a handful of blood fell from the sky… Jin Chanzi's ferocious words came from all directions.
"I never thought that there would be hidden talents in the Heavenly Courts. I have experienced it today! You hid it but did not reveal it. You hurt others secretly. Fellow Daoist, you are not a hero. You are a true villain! Hahaha!"
Li Changshou secretly observed the Jade Emperor's expression and his heart twitched.
Why is this brother still smiling?
"Ah, Brother Yu, I finally know why you were killed nine times by a Curtain Lifting General of the Heavenly Courts who did not want to reveal his name when you reincarnated and went to get the sutra…"
The Jade Emperor's eyes were filled with white light. He looked in a certain direction in the sky and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou. "Someone is helping him. He escaped."
"Your Majesty, who is receiving him?"
"A woman who should also be a ferocious beast."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "What do you think of that woman, Your Majesty?"
"Hey, don't think too much," the Jade Emperor said seriously. "My junior sister and I are the representatives of the marriage between the heavens and earth. We can't do anything rash." Li Changshou was rendered speechless. His Majesty's words could not be deciphered carefully.

Chapter 302 The White-Robed Jade Emperor's Heart
Da ~
The clear spiritual liquid fell from the stalactite and landed in the small pond.
At the edge of the five continents, deep in the ground, in a cave that emitted colorful light, Jin Chanzi was sitting cross-legged beside the spiritual pool. His face was pale, and his long robe was stained with blood. His entire body was tense, and he would shiver from time to time. The smile on his lips was a little forced… Was he afraid?
What a joke. The grand Primordial Beast, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, was only subdued by the Western Sect because the Saint personally captured it! How could that be called being afraid?
He was just… scared. The fear came from his instincts and the blurry figure beside Jin Chanzi.
Beside Jin Chanzi, the woman in the sanguine dress swayed her lotus steps. Her enchanting figure seemed to have condensed into a fog. She touched Jin Chanzi's forehead gently with her slender finger and slowly drew it across. "Senior." Jin Chanzi smiled and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Senior."
"Hehehe…" The laughter was light, but there was a hint of laziness in it. It was clearly gentle and sweet, but when it landed in Jin Chanzi's ears, it sounded exceptionally ear-piercing. Jin Chanzi believed that if he was not injured, he would not be afraid of the Black-Winged Blood Mosquito. Even if he attacked, he would be able to escape with his mystical abilities.
However, at that moment, he had been injured by the divine sword in the eyes of the Heavenly Courts' immortal. The woman beside him had seized the initiative…
"I saved you?"
"Of course."
Jin Chanzi replied with a smile. However, just as he finished speaking, his Adam's apple could not help but tremble slightly. Daoist Wen Jing stepped on the stone slab beside him with her jade-like feet and slowly leaned over. There was a hint of playfulness on her face, which could attract all living beings. She approached the side of Jin Chanzi's face and sniffed gently. "Tsk, why is your blood so smelly that I have lost my appetite…" Jin Chanzi smiled insincerely and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Senior. We are both working for the lord. We naturally cannot have any internal conflicts."
Hah.
Daoist Wen Jing's figure flashed slightly and appeared on the other side of the pool. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with faint disdain.
"Don't address me as Senior. I'm not familiar with you.
I saved you today because I happened to pass by. If I don't save you, I'm afraid that the sect will blame me.
Remember, don't be too ruthless. Leave some good things for others.
Otherwise, the next time I see you like this, it won't be as simple as… taking a wisp of your essence soul."
As she spoke, Daoist Wen Jing slowly raised her left hand. Wisps of blood energy surrounded her fair and jade-like fingertips, forming the figure of a blood cicada. She pinched it gently with her slender fingers and the blood cicada exploded. When?!
Jin Chanzi's face turned pale. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
However, Daoist Wen Jing snorted coldly and did not look at him again. Her flexible waist swayed slightly, and her figure disappeared. All that was left was a faint smile, a hint of blood, and a sound that was piercing to Jin Chanzi's
ears…
Buzz ~
Jin Chanzi's delicate face trembled slightly. His left hand was clenched into a fist, and the ground within a five-hundred-kilometer radius rumbled continuously.
Wen Jing should know what to do next. Li Changshou pondered. He trusted Daoist Wen Jing's ability to handle matters more than Master Zhao's. Daoist Wen Jing naturally did not come here today to pay the Jade Emperor a visit. No one could predict the future. The human heart was the most unpredictable. Regarding the matters related to Daoist Wen Jing, Li Changshou could not bare everything to the Jade Emperor. There was no other reason. The ultimate beneficiaries of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation were the Heavenly Courts and the Western Sect. There was no need to make a fuss about it if the two of them were 'connected during the God-Conferment Tribulation.
If he let the Jade Emperor know in advance that Daoist Wen Jing was a hidden pawn that the Ren School had buried in the West, she might become a "chip for bargaining" in the future.
During the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the Jade Emperor was half a chess player. He could not be judged based on human nature. Li Changshou had been clear about that when he had been developing the dragon race's strategy in the past few years.
Today, he wanted Daoist Wen Jing to act according to the situation. If Jin Chanzi could escape, he would let Daoist Wen Jing receive Jin Chanzi. It looked like she was giving him help in times of need, but in reality, she was just adding icing to the cake and putting up an act for the Western Sect. During the subsequent plans, if Daoist Wen Jing was not scheming enough, she would show kindness to Jin Chanzi. If Wen Jing had considered it more thoroughly, she would give Jin Chanzi two punches and warn him not to take credit for himself in the future. That way, she would gain the trust of the Western Sect…
There would be more insurance and more security. At that moment, Li Changshou, as the Sea God, had already arrived on the dragon race's immortal ship with the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu.
The troops of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had already surrounded the place.
A few of the dragon princes bowed forward. Ao Shi from the West Ocean Dragon Palace cried. He said that he had made a mistake by making the wrong friends and set a fox to keep the geese. "Minister Changgeng," the Jade Emperor reminded him via voice transmission. "The essence souls of these dragon princes are a little strange." Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, "Your Majesty, this is a commonly used method over there.
The experts of the dragon race have already noticed the abnormality. It's not convenient for us to ask about this matter." The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and did not say anything else. Soon, the Jade Emperor realized that the situation was more troublesome than Li Changshou had said. At that moment, two-thirds of the people who had surged out of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had cultivation levels that were equivalent to the Heaven Immortal realm of human cultivators.
In other words… they were surrounded by a large group of traitors.
Then, the Jade Emperor looked at Li Changshou who was chatting and laughing with the puppets of the Western Sect.
This is really…
The scene was filled with laughter and endless chatter. From afar, one could see that they were all pretending and had scheming tricks up their sleeves.
The Jade Emperor's eyes revealed some thoughts and determination. However, he soon regained his clarity.
At the side, General Dongmu keenly sensed that the Jade Emperor seemed to be a little different at that moment. Li Changshou made some small talk in front of them. Hundreds of azure dragons flew from the south and north. When they approached the immortal ship, they transformed into human forms.
"Brother Sect Master!"
Ao Yi rushed over with hundreds of experts and cupped his fists at Li Changshou from afar.
Li Changshou nodded calmly and did not expose the Jade Emperor's identity.
This time, Li Changshou was not stingy with his praise for Ao Yi's "foresight ". In front of the Jade Emperor, he ruthlessly… praised Ao Yi. After the dragon expert thanked Li Changshou, the Jade Emperor sent a voice transmission. "Changgeng, let's go back. There's nothing interesting here."
Li Changshou bade farewell to the experts of the dragon race. Before he left, he reminded Ao Yi not to forget to arrange for the patrolling young gods to patrol the four seas. Before leaving, Li Changshou said to Ao Yi, "After settling everything, Ao Yi, come to Anshui City. I have something to give you."
"Alright!"
Ao Yi lowered his head, cupped his fists, and bowed to send Li Changshou and the others
off.
After a while, Li Changshou maneuvered the wooden ship and continued to stroll around the West Ocean.
He and General Dongmu realized that there was something wrong with the Jade Emperor's expression. It was completely different from the peaceful and comfortable expression that the Jade Emperor had when he first descended to the mortal world.
He seemed to have something on his mind… General Dongmu and Li Changshou exchanged glances. Both of them were confused. After a while, the Jade Emperor waved his hand and stopped the singing and dancing. He finished the wine that was specially brewed for Jiu Jiu.
"Forget it!"
Li Changshou and General Dongmu stood up at the same time.
The Jade Emperor sighed softly and stood up to look at Li Changshou. He raised his hand and patted Li Changshou's shoulder. "The Heavenly Courts have just been established now. Beloved subordinate, I have let you suffer." Li Changshou thought, It's not much to suffer. Just give me more merit. The Jade Emperor said, "Today, I saw how you dealt with the powerful people of the Western Sect and exchanged pleasantries with the people of the dragon race. I feel hatred in my heart! How can an important minister of the Heavenly Courts be bullied by a ferocious beast!?! Why would the legitimate god of the four seas, whom I have conferred a title to, smile and interact with those unbearable living beings!?! Where is General Dongmu!?!" General Dongmu immediately bowed and accepted the order. "I'm here!"
The Jade Emperor stood in the slightly short ship and paced back and forth. He pondered carefully before speaking slowly.
"Once we return to the Heavenly Courts, immediately draw up a decree. My beloved subordinate Changgeng has blessed the four seas and raised the prestige of the Heavenly Courts. His rank will be increased by three stages and his salary will be increased by sixty percent. The Heavenly Courts will set up a Heavenly Courts' navy and station the troops in the Heavenly River. They will be trained day and night for Changgeng! The decree will be drafted within twelve years. The Heavenly Courts' navy will be deployed immediately!" General Dongmu replied firmly, "I accept your orders!"
"Where is Changgeng?"
Li Changshou lowered his head and said, "I'm here."
"I had overlooked something previously. I felt that you had the protection of Senior Brother Taiqing, and so the Western Sect would not dare to bully you. This is my fault." The white-robed Jade Emperor looked apologetic. Li Changshou's smile was rather warm. He replied, "Your Majesty, I find it interesting to compete with them."
The Jade Emperor chuckled and said seriously, "However, Changgeng, you have your shortcomings. It's just that you're too stable. You are a disciple of Ren School. It is understandable that you are similar to Senior Brother Taiqing. Changgeng, come and take a look."
As he spoke, the Jade Emperor pushed open the window of the cabin and looked at the thousands of kilometers of smoke outside the window.
He continued, "The wind is gentle, but it is also swift. The clouds are relaxed, but there are also sudden emergencies. There is a sense of urgency for everything in the world. The matter regarding the dragon race should be the same."
When Li Changshou heard that, he immediately looked touched. He nodded slowly and bowed with a Dao salute.
"I understand!"
"I will give you an order today regarding the dragon race. You don't have to bother about the dragon race for now." The Jade Emperor said, "Twelve years later, the Heavenly Courts will hold a Heavenly Peach Banquet. I will invite the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to the Heavenly Courts' banquet. If they are willing to submit to the Heavenly Courts, I will not raise the Dragon Slaying Sword. If they still have disloyal thoughts and do not admit to destiny, I will personally go to the Purple Cloud Palace and ask the Dao Ancestor to send down the Heavenly Punishment and hold the dragon race responsible!"
Li Changshou and General Dongmu looked at each other. They were both shocked and they bowed at the same time.
The Jade Emperor closed his eyes and slowly exhaled. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at the blue water and blue sky.
Her white clothes were as white as snow, and her long hair danced in the wind. Li Changshou looked at the back view of the ruler of the Three Realms and felt that… he was a little handsome.
Li Changshou shouted, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Changgeng, General Dongmu, you might not know, but I'm actually not interested in holding the authority of being the Heavenly Emperor." He continued, "Back when the Demon Court was destroyed, the Dao Ancestor and the Six Saints appeared and dealt with the shattered mountains and rivers after the battle between the three races. They integrated the Ancient Demon Court and refined it into the current Heavenly Courts. At that time, Senior Brother Zhun Ti of the Western Sect pleaded with the Dao Ancestor and said that the Heavenly Courts should be controlled by the Saint. How can Teacher not know the intentions of Zhun Ti?"
The Jade Emperor's gaze was extremely distant, as if he could see through the sea and the sky.
As he continued speaking, a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's Dao runes had already wrapped around the wooden ship. There was no need to worry about anyone listening. The Jade Emperor said, "The Three Pure Ones is quiet and indifferent. He doesn't care about the affairs of the world. If Teacher had agreed back then, the Heavenly Courts would have become a Dharma treasure for the two Senior Brothers to repay their wishes. The order of the Three Realms would never be restored."
"Therefore, my teacher took me and my junior sister out of the Purple Cloud Palace. He did not tell me anything and just made me and my junior sister the Emperor and Empress of the Heavenly Courts, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. He put us in charge of the Three Realms."
"When I first became the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Courts were empty. There were only clouds everywhere. I sat in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with my junior sister and we were in a daze. I did not know what I should do, nor did I know what the position of the Heavenly Emperor represented."
"Junior Sister and I were originally just serving tea and water to Teacher, relaying messages on his behalf and guarding the doors. When have we ever been the Heavenly Emperor and Empress? Until today, I still keep asking myself, What did Teacher want me to do by making me the Heavenly Emperor? Today, I have a rough idea."
Li Changshou said in a low voice, "Pardon me, may I ask to hear more of your words, Your Majesty?" General Dongmu could not help but fall into deep thought. Why couldn't he think of that? The Jade Emperor said, "Heaven, earth, and living beings. How powerful are the Three Realms? Saints can easily refine wind, fire, water, and earth. The disciples of the Saints have the ability to cover the sea and make land sink. The experts of the various races can move mountains, fill the seas, and make the universe spin. I need to restrict them. Before the True Spirits transformed, they were only in the void. However, after the transformation of True Spirits, there were differences in strength. The Heavenly Courts want the strong to be infallible and the weak to live in peace. I need to control it. Changgeng, General Dongmu, are you willing to follow me?" General Dongmu answered firmly, "I'm willing to sacrifice my life to serve you, Your Majesty. I won't regret it even if I die!"
Li Changshou sighed slowly and smiled. "The path ahead is long. I'm willing to meet you, Your Majesty." The Jade Emperor turned around and nodded at Li Changshou with a smile. General Dongmu could not help but fall into deep thought again…
He really could not think of that.
The Immortal Peach Banquet hosted by the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Courts, which was meant for the dragon race, would be held twelve years later. If they do not submit, they will be punished by the Heavenly Punishment… After sending the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu away, Li Changshou settled the paper effigy in Anshui City and fell into deep thought in the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak.
Twelve years was a little short.
The time that the Jade Emperor took the initiative was slightly earlier than he had expected. Li Changshou stood up from behind the desk and walked to the bookshelf in the corner. He took out two treasure pouches and two cloth portraits. He slowly spread them out and they filled the entire secret chamber.
That was the 'strategy' he had written when he first accepted the mission of the dragon race to ascend to the heavens.
Most of them had been erased.
Today, after careful consideration, Li Changshou rolled up most of the cloth and hung it in front of him. He burned the True Samadhi Flames.
It was useless.
Li Changshou turned around and looked at the remaining three pieces of cloth on his back, as well as the arrowheads on them.
"Finally, I can use this part."
Then, Li Changshou took another cloth and drew a drumstick, a bamboo basket, orchid, a slingshot, and a luminous cup on it. This time, he thought for a while and added another hairpin. Then, he sat cross-legged in the air and allowed the cloth to float around him. He picked up his brush and continued to write and draw.
At such a moment, he could not be too passionate and disregard everything.
In the past twelve years, there were still many things that he could do. The Jade Emperor wanted to be decisive and did not hesitate to use the resources of the Purple Cloud Palace. What he needed to do was to quickly regulate this mess so that the Jade Emperor would not have too much resistance when he attacked. He also did not want to leave too many problems behind.
He looked at the area where Ling'e was in seclusion and glanced at the few people playing in the chess room.
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He began to focus on thinking.
Actually, the Jade Emperor did not know… His Dao was not inaction. It was just that there were times when he had to make a choice that would be more beneficial for him.

Chapter 303 Xuan Du Tours Around The Little Qiong Peak, Changshou Wants to pass the Sutra
Strangely, it was noisy and boisterous in the Tushita Palace today. Under the old tree, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stretched his back and sat up. He was about to lower his head and deduce what had disturbed his cultivation when two images appeared in his mind…
The first scene was a vast ocean.
Changshou's incarnation?
The Jade Emperor? General Dongmu?
A few question marks appeared on the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's forehead. He stared at the image and observed it carefully…
Then, the Great Daoist Master saw a vortex appear in front of Li Changshou and the others. There was a Six-Winged Golden Cicada in the vortex.
The golden cicada flapped its thin wings and slashed six beams of golden light at Li Changshou's incarnation. However, it was blocked by the Jade Emperor.
The first scene ended there, followed by the second…
In the wilderness, a mortal was riding a white horse, wearing a kasaya, and a monk's hat. He was crossing mountains and rivers, traveling slowly from the east to the west.
That person seemed to be unable to endure the heat and was about to faint. However, tens of thousands of rays of golden light surged behind him, and the shadows of a few Great Buddhas stood still…
The clear Dao runes trembled slightly, and the second scene disappeared. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du muttered to himself and could not help but think.
What… does Teacher mean?
The first scene was very clear. According to the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's understanding of his teacher's mystical abilities, it had already happened.
As for the second scene, other than the young mortal who was riding a white horse and dressed strangely, everything else was very blurry. That was the scene that he had seen during the prediction of the heavenly secrets. His teacher had used a supreme mystical ability to expand it and present it to him.
Teacher's mystical abilities are becoming more and more unfathomable.
However, what does Teacher want me to do this time?
Xuan Du sat quietly under the old tree and began a long and complicated thought process. In the end, he came to a conclusion. Teacher, are you asking me to integrate this person into Ren School?
Suddenly, he heard a muffled thunder. The familiar Dao runes appeared in the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's heart again. This time, they condensed into two words.
"Try Killing'.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but support his forehead with one hand. He had actually made so many wrong guesses.
It's really rare that Teacher would let me "try" to see if I could kill this spirit…
Tsk, the karma that this person is implicated with can actually make Teacher have the intention to test him. Although this is not unprecedented, it is indeed a little unbelievable.
It must be related to the lifeline of our sect.
"Forget it. I'll go and discuss it with Changshou first."
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stood up and walked out of the Tushita Palace. He looked in the direction of the Sea God's Residence and turned around to head to the East Heaven Gate. After taking three to five steps, the Great Daoist Master was already standing above the mountain-protecting array formation of the Immortal Du Sect.
This time, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not ask Li Changshou to go out and meet him. Instead, he had the thought of "seeing what Li Changshou was doing" in his heart. He moved according to his heart and disappeared. Today, Little Qiong Peak welcomed a distinguished guest. The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du hid outside the universe and walked slowly on the Little Qiong Peak with his hands behind his back.
The images in his eyes were filled with faint ripples. It was the Cosmic Barrier, which was also the real world.
Firstly, the Great Daoist Master found a bean field that was enveloped by the array formation. He discovered a paper effigy that was tending to the bean sprouts.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du laughed. Just as he was about to appear and ask Li Changshou why he did not cultivate properly, he realized that the paper effigy's movements were very stiff. Every move he made was very "standard", and his eyes did not glow.
The Great Daoist Master immediately understood that Li Changshou's attention was not there. Then, the Great Daoist Master looked at the chess room nearby and saw three women of different sizes playing with a piece of paper.
The Great Daoist Master could not help but think of the Three Stars and Moon in the Hall of Marriage and Li Changshou's clay figurine…
Among the three of them, one was one of the Three Stars.
The Great Daoist Master flicked his finger and three wisps of aura flew to the chess room.
Xiong Lingli, Jiang Lin'er, and Jiu Jiu, who were playing Fighting The God, trembled at the same time. They rolled their eyes and collapsed on the table, surrounded by mysterious Dao runes.
They were pulled into their respective dreams and began to comprehend their own Dao. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was not in a hurry. He turned around and strolled casually.
This time, he followed Li Changshou's aura and arrived at the straw hut by the lake. He discovered the six paper effigies that Li Changshou had hidden there.
Changshou actually cares so much about his master and junior sister's safety… The Great Daoist Master looked at Ling'e, who was ascending. His eyes lit up.
This time, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du put in more effort. He drew out a pure Grand Pure Dao rune and wrapped it around Lingle's essence soul. After Ling'e ascended, he could add another wave of enlightenment for her.
After doing that, the Great Daoist Master looked at Qi Yuan, who was in the Turbid Immortal realm and turned to leave.
If it did not work, he would move on to the next one.
The Great Daoist Master strolled around the Little Qiong Peak and saw the Immortal Cat Divination Barrel that had been abandoned for a long time. He went to the stream beside the forest that was designated as a barbecue area.
It could be seen that the days on the peak were carefree and comfortable.
After walking around the entire Little Qiong Peak, the Great Daoist Master slowly walked to Li Changshou's Pill Chamber.
The heavy array formation that Li Changshou had set up naturally could not capture the figure of the Great Daoist Master outside the universe.
However, when the Great Daoist Master entered the Pill Chamber and was about to appear, he realized that Li Changshou was refining pills…
It was still the paper effigy Where did this fellow hide his main body?
The Great Daoist Master was a little interested. He slowly spread out his powerful immortal senses. This time, he did not spend much effort and found the secret chamber in the Little Qiong Peak.
Even if the Great Daoist Master were to judge, he would find that the design of the secret chamber was very ingenious. It was actually in one of the gaps between dozens of array formations. It was really not easy to attract the attention of others…
One would not be able to find the place easily even with time.
The Great Daoist Master walked slowly from the void and arrived at the secret underground chamber in the blink of an eye.
Li Changshou was writing and drawing behind his desk. He looked rather serious.
What is he writing?
The Great Daoist Master secretly glanced at the paper that Li Changshou had written something on. Every paragraph had the word 'Ao' at the beginning. It seemed to be the name list of the experts of the dragon race.
The Great Daoist Master was about to laugh softly and remind Li Changshou that he had arrived. However, his aura was already at the tip of his throat, so he forcefully suppressed it.
Eh?
I didn't take a closer look just now. Why is this fellow here an incarnation?
The Great Daoist Master could not help but laugh.
Then, he opened his left palm and the image of the Taiji Painting condensed on it. Wisps of faint ripples spread outside the universe, and a breeze blew all over the Little Qiong Peak…
A moment later, the Great Daoist Master walked through the void with his mystical ability and returned to the Pill Chamber that was enveloped by the outer layer of the array formation. He stopped in front of the bookshelf in the corner of the Pill Chamber and stared at a scroll that was placed flat.
The Great Daoist Master placed his hands behind his back and slowly walked forward. He easily saw through the bamboo slip outside the scroll and saw the small "room" that was wrapped in restrictions.
The room was only three inches long and one inch wide. However, it was filled with all kinds of furniture.
On a small bed, there was a Daoist who was the size of an ant. He was lying with his legs crossed, drinking wine and reading an ancient book with relish…
The Great Daoist Master almost laughed out loud.
Thinking about the paper effigies that he had seen along the way, the Great Daoist Master finally appeared and sighed emotionally at the scroll.
"Why are you hiding so obscurely? Are you afraid that the Saint will catch you?"
"Huh?"
The 'little person' in the scroll was stunned. Then, he froze on the bed.
The Great Daoist Master used his mystical abilities to check and realized that he was still…
At that moment, the paper effigy, who was standing behind the Great Daoist Master, turned around and looked at the Pill Furnace. He stood up in a flurry. "Great Daoist Master, I'm here! That's meant for luring the enemy!"
After saying that, the paper effigy took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a jade-colored Spirit Pill. The Spirit Pill exploded and transformed into Li Changshou's figure.
Li Changshou hurriedly bowed and carefully looked up at the Great Daoist Master who was slowly turning around.
Uh…
There was killing intent!
A moment later, in the valley where Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master first met, the Great Daoist Master stood beside the stream with a smile. He was very happy. Li Changshou placed a hand on the bump on his forehead and roasted the few spiritual fish that he had just picked up from the river. He kept sighing… What kind of spell did the Great Daoist Master use to flick my head to the extent that it still hurts but neither my Dao Body nor essence soul is hurt?
The Great Daoist Master asked leisurely, "Changshou, have you encountered any powerful enemies recently?"
It was as if nothing had happened.
Li Changshou thought about it and thought about the answer before thinking about why the Great Daoist Master had asked that.
If he were to talk about the powerful enemies he had recently encountered, Daoist Lu Ya should be considered one of them, and so was Daoist Randeng
There was still a golden cicada, which could barely be considered one-third…
Li Changshou immediately said in a low voice, "I've recently met an old Daoist priest. He has a gourd numinous treasure called the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. That old Daoist priest's name is Lu Ya. According to my deduction, he should be the remaining Demon Crown Prince of the ancient Demon Court. His flying saber is quite powerful. If he successfully refines it, he will become a very tricky person to deal with." "Lu Ya?"
The Great Daoist Master pinched his fingers and deduced. Soon, he frowned slightly.
There was a warning from the red hydrangea.
"The Saint has concealed the heavenly secrets for him." The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and opened his left hand. The Taiji Painting appeared again and he continued to deduce.
Soon, the Great Daoist Master said, "Lu Ya is hiding in the Golden Crow Palace on the Sun. It seemed that the Saint had helped him condense the remnant fate of the demon race and gave him the destiny to revive the demon race. However, this remnant fate is not deep and the destiny was uncertain. It was unlikely that he would end up well. Changshou, I'm not here today for Daoist Lu Ya. Have you seen a Six-Winged Golden Cicada?" Li Changshou smiled and said, "That's a ferocious beast raised by the Western Sect. I've fought him a few times."
"Take a look."
The Great Daoist Master flicked his finger and a wisp of Dao runes entered Li Changshou's forehead. The same scene appeared in Li Changshou's heart.
With just a glance, Li Changshou recognized what it meant.
Monk Tang Seng, who was riding a white horse, was dressed in a kasaya and embarked on the journey to the west!
Li Changshou even subconsciously added some background music to the scene in his head.
It would be hard to say if the pitch was accurate.
Golden light surged behind Tang Seng. It was the destiny and the merit of the human race.
This scene verified that the Western Sect had used the human race's destiny and merit to make the Western Sect prosper.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, "Great Daoist Master, what are the instructions given by the Saint?"
The Great Daoist Master said calmly, "He only gave me two words, 'try killing'."
Huh?
Li Changshou was really surprised. His first reaction was to think…
This is not the style of Ren School, this is totally not the style of Ren School!
Li Changshou was puzzled.
If the plan of the Saint turning into Buddha was successfully completed after the Great God-Conferment, the Gautama of Buddhism would be the Daoist Duobao of Jie School today…
Could it be that there is a variable in this plan?
Or could it be that Daoist Duobao could not take over the Western Sect and instead got counter-attacked by the two Western Saints?
The relationship was complicated. Li Changshou could not figure it out.
The orders that the Saint had given the Great Daoist Master were for them to try to kill the Golden Cicada and ruin the Western Sect's destiny in the future.
Li Changshou smiled when he got some inspiration.
The Great Daoist Master asked curiously, "Changshou, why are you laughing?" "The words 'try killing' given by the Saint is really mysterious." Li Changshou lifted the grilled fish and handed it over respectfully. He felt enlightened.
The Saints would also take the initiative to find a way to break the situation!
What the heavenly secrets had presented should be the events that were most likely to happen in the future. If the Saint saw that possibility and was dissatisfied with it, even the Saint of the Grand Pure One would interfere!
In other words… everything was not set in stone.
It was not impossible to change the future! Li Changshou's Dao heart trembled and he felt enlightened. The issue in his heart that he had been depressed about previously had been gently broken by the word 'try'!
Li Changshou did not enter an epiphany in front of the Great Daoist Master.
The Saint had already given the order that he and the Great Daoist Master would try to target Jin Chanzi. If they could kill Jin Chanzi, they would be able to change the sutra to a certain extent. That would be a good thing. If he failed, he would retreat in time. There would not be any losses. The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Your eyes seem to be glowing. Do you have an idea?"
"I have an immature idea. Great Daoist Master, please correct me." "Just say it."
The Great Daoist Master sat back on the bluestone and grabbed the grilled fish to taste it slowly.
"Yes." Li Changshou pondered for a while and slowly paced around. He began mentioning a few schemes to kill Jin Chanzi.
Recently, he had a conflict with Jin Chanzi.
Jin Chanzi had attacked Li Changshou's incarnation that day. He had also been ruthless and wanted to destroy Li Changshou's incarnation.
Li Changshou had invited the Great Daoist Master to "uphold justice" for him. In turn, he chased after Jin Chanzi. It was reasonable and backed by evidence.
That was enough.
The problem now was that Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not be sure if the Second Saint of the Western Sect knew the "importance" of Jin Chanzi.
"Therefore, I feel that I have to kill this Golden Cicada in the blink of an eye and not give the other party any chance to get help." "That's a little troublesome," said the Great Daoist Master. "The ability of a Saint is to turn the impossible into something possible. No Saint can be underestimated. Moreover, Changshou, you don't have much confidence in fighting Jin Chanzi. How can you kill him in one blow?"
Li Changshou could not help but ask weakly, "Great Daoist Master… Aren't I in charge of making plans?"
The Great Daoist Master smiled and squinted. He stretched out his right hand and slowly condensed a small pagoda that was wrapped in the black-yellow aura.
"This time, it's not as simple as just one wisp of power. Just be at ease." Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He could not help but ponder for a while and began to think of a solution.
At that moment, his spiritual will trembled slightly. He sensed that Ao Yi had arrived at Anshui City with a large number of dragon troops. Ao Yi came from the West Ocean Dragon Palace. He should be staying in the West Ocean Dragon Palace for a banquet before returning today.
Li Changshou said, "Great Daoist Master, can you bring me to Anshui City? It just so happens that I have a scripture to give to Ao Yi. If I use my main body, I will seem more dignified. We can also consider this matter carefully there."
"Okay."
Chapter 304 Firstly, I Should Have A Small Plan
In the Sea God Temple of Anshui City, Ao Yi quickly entered the main hall in his silver armor.
IT Look at Ao Yi. He's wearing a silver chain mail and a traditional dragon battle armor. His face is delicate like a young man's, causing many young female devotees to look at him.
Of course, most of them were curious as to why that little general was that similar to the Great Guardian's statue.
When the Divine Envoys heard the news and went to pay their respects, the True Dragon Guardian rushed over to address him as His Highness. Only then did the devotees understand that the Great Guardian had descended to the mortal world!
Hence, they bowed, knelt, surrounded him, and caused quite a commotion in the Sea God Temple.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
His paper effigy which was in the form of an old immortal, had always been active there. Later on, he had publicly announced that he was the incarnation of the Sea God. How did it just!?!
Nowadays, even immortals had to look at their faces…
Just as Ao Yi was at a loss and did not know how to deal with that situation, Li Changshou's voice transmission reached his ears.
"Come to the rear hall. The Great Daoist Master is also here. Don't be rude."
IT Great Daoist Master? Ao Yi could not help but become nervous. He looked at his own attire and rushed to the rear hall. He saw a young Daoist who was drinking tea and standing at the side…
Li Changshou.
ME Ao Yi even forgot to bow to the Great Daoist Master first. Instead, he said in shock,
"Brother Sect Master, why did you… run out?" Li Changshou glared at Ao Yi. The latter immediately reacted and bowed to the Great Daoist Master. He said, "Greetings, Great Daoist Master!"
"Alright." The Great Daoist Master smiled and nodded.
ME Li Changshou knew that the Great Daoist Master did not want to add karma, so he took the initiative to move forward. He took out a scroll from his sleeve and reminded earnestly,
"You dealt with the matter regarding the West Ocean in advance. It's not bad.
Ao Yi, you are now a mature Dragon Prince. You have a Deity Position in the Heavenly Courts and have cleared your negative karma. You have a stable footing in Jie School.
Today, I will impart this sutra to you. I hope that you will comprehend it properly and not be arrogant or rash. You have the will to support the dragon. In the future, you will definitely soar into the sky. No matter what the dragon race experiences in the future, you will have to use this sutra as a reference.
Do you remember?"
Ao Yi agreed. "I understand!"
Then, he held the scroll with both hands. Seeing that there were no words on it, he was curious.
The Great Daoist Master at the side also scrutinized the sutra. He did not ask further and just smiled.
Li Changshou muttered to himself again with a serious expression.
Ao Yi whispered, "Brother Sect Master, did something major happen?"
ME "This matter has yet to be decided." Li Changshou said. "His Majesty, the Jade Emperor, intends to hold the Immortal Peach Banquet twelve years later and invite the Four Sea Dragon Kings to attend the banquet in the Heavenly Courts. There is a deeper meaning behind this. Think about it carefully. You can report this matter to the Dragon King of the East Ocean, but remember not to tell anyone."
"Don't worry, Brother!" Ao Yi agreed. He looked at the sutra in his hand and began to consider the matter.
Li Changshou deliberately avoided the threat of the Heavenly Emperor. He also described the matter of the Immortal Peach Banquet very vaguely, so as to reduce the pressure on the dragon race.
In the next twelve years, forming good relations and putting pressure on them would be carried out simultaneously.
With the four Sea Dragon Kings being so old, ahem, they should be able to understand the Heavenly Courts' attitude. Li Changshou instructed, "Return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Remember to read this scroll carefully. It will definitely be beneficial to you."
Ao Yi asked again, but Li Changshou only shook his head and told him not to worry.
Then, Li Changshou gave him a hint.
"Previously, that expert from the Western Sect attacked my incarnation. No matter what, the karma has to be removed in time."
Ao Yi immediately understood something. He bowed to the Great Daoist Master and did not say anything else. He quickly left Anshui City with the dragon troops.
As an insignificant prince of the dragon race, he could not meddle with the matter.
ME Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and sighed. "Changshou, you only said a few words just now, but you managed to do a few things.
You have imparted the sutra and reminded the dragon race. You have also used Ao Yi to spread the karma regarding the Golden Cicada.
I really don't know how to praise you."
Li Changshou said seriously, "I was just doing some trivial matters. Without the protection of the Great Daoist Master and the Saint, I couldn't have used these little tricks."
"You!"
The Great Daoist Master flicked his sleeve and placed a round chair beside him.
ME "I'm thinking about how to act.
If you have any good ideas, feel free to tell me. Let's study it carefully. If it's something that Teacher has personally set up, we should do our best."
"Great Daoist Master, you're right." Li Changshou did not hesitate and said directly, "I thought that the most important part of this attack would be… to retreat."
The Great Daoist Master's lips twitched. "What kind of logic is that?"
"Thank you for your guidance, Great Daoist Master."
Li Changshou said slowly, "This time, we attacked Jin Chanzi. Jin Chanzi is a key pawn in the Western Sect's rise to prosperity. Even if the two Saints of the Western Sect are not as good at predicting as us, the Saints, they are still Saints.
According to what I know, Jin Chanzi is the only favored one among the Primordial Beasts that the Western Sect has taken in."
"Hahaha!"
The Great Daoist Master suddenly laughed out loud. "Continue talking. Continue talking. Why do you leave so much to imagination when you say the words 'only favored one'?"
"Uh, I just wanted to be more descriptive." Li Changshou smiled awkwardly and continued to explain his analysis.
He talked about a variety of things, from the power of the Saint's mystical abilities and the Cosmic Escape technique of the Golden Cicada, to the cunning and ferocious nature of the Primordial Beasts. He also analyzed from a few perspectives, that the Golden Cicada might have a life-saving trump card.
ME An hour later, Li Changshou said,
"Before you make a move, think about the punishment for failing. That way, you will be able to prevent any mistakes."
ME The Great Daoist Master nodded slowly and said, "Changshou, what you said makes sense. This matter involves the schemes of the Saint. It's not bad to be cautious.
How should we set up the retreat?"
"Great Daoist Master, can I tell you while I write?"
Li Changshou took out two blank scrolls from his sleeve. "I'm used to doing this when I'm thinking about something."
"Sure!"
The Great Daoist Master was also excited. He condensed a desk for Li Changshou and began to discuss the next "simple" plan with him.
ME Four hours later…
"Alright!"
The Great Daoist Master looked at the two paintings that were filled with small words and arrowheads. He praised, "With this method, why should I worry about this matter? Why should I be afraid of the Western Sect's retaliation!?!"
ME Li Changshou smiled shyly and said, "However, Great Daoist Master, this is just a plan that is of our first priority. Moreover, it is an ideal state to deliberately ignore a few variables.
In my opinion, I should make more arrangements and reconsider the most basic variables."
The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and was about to say that there was no need for that.
Li Changshou bowed again and said, "I feel that there are no accidents in the world. There are only situations that we have never thought about."
"Yes!"
The Great Daoist Master felt that what Li Changshou said made sense. He pulled a chair and continued to discuss the backup plan with Li Changshou.
Four hours later…
ME "Changshou, these plans should be enough. We are going to kill a Primordial Beast, not attack the spiritual mountain. How about this?
If anything happens, I can ask Teacher to help us."
"Yes, since you say that it's possible, Great Daoist Master, let's do that. I'm just giving some useless suggestions. The final plan will still have to be decided by you, Great Daoist Master."
The Great Daoist Master was obviously relieved.
ME Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Great Daoist Master, may I be bold enough to recommend the pawn that the Ren School planted in the West?
She should have some ties with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. Perhaps, she could grasp its weakness.
In that case, I will be more confident when I attack later."
ME The Great Daoist Master looked up slightly and sat in the round chair. He smiled and said, "I can really be at ease now. From now on, I'll let you handle the affairs of Ren School.
Go, go. Do you need me to help her conceal her whereabouts?" ME "Great Daoist Master, you only need to use your mystical abilities to envelop this place. She is also considered vigilant and should have a way to protect herself.
However, I cannot expose my identity. I will disguise myself."
"Yes." The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Your transformation technique seems to be unique. Come, let's take a look."
Li Changshou immediately accepted the order and recited the incantation in his heart. He turned half a round and transformed into the commonly used image of the Sea God paper effigy.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and squinted. He did not comment and only said, "Go and make arrangements."
Li Changshou agreed and immediately closed his eyes to focus. He made the paper effigy start to move.
I'll take this opportunity to complete Daoist Wen Jing's long-cherished wish so that she can officially come into contact with the Great Daoist Master.
In that case, he would not be breaking his promise to Daoist Wen Jing.
IT Great… Great Daoist Master?!
On a desolate beach in the south of Anshui City, a fish jumped out of the ocean. It supported itself against the surface of the ocean and glared at the young girl who was holding onto a flute.
The young girl sent a voice transmission. "Don't be anxious. Be safe. Don't expose yourself."
The fish kept nodding. With a wave, it disappeared. ME In the Cave Abode at the foot of the spiritual mountain, the figure that was originally lying on the bed suddenly sat up. She waved her hand gently, and her sleeves fluttered.
IT Is he going to meet me?
There were ripples in Daoist Wen Jing's phoenix-like eyes, but she immediately snorted and raised her chin slightly. IT I'm just giving you some face. Do you really think that you can be high and mighty just because you are a disciple of a Saint? You are bossing and ordering me around.
Hmph, I'm just doing this for the sake of the Sea God…
I messed up. The Sea God still has to listen to
him.
Daoist Wen Jing sat there in a daze for a while. Then, she sneered and floated towards the clear pond with a hint of smugness.
Her dress fluttered in the wind, and she looked timid as she bathed and put on makeup.
She changed into the dress that she had prepared a long time ago. She felt that it was a little too 'conservative' and was too different from her usual self. Hence, she hurriedly condensed a few different sets of clothes. After picking and choosing, she still ended up in a red dress. However, she hid her shoulders and skirt, leaving only four parts of her body exposed in an alluring manner and adding some otherworldly aura. She was used to having her bare feet wrapped in a pair of embroidered shoes.
She was usually not fond of formalities but she also put on some clothes today.
She then carefully thought about her makeup. Her long hair was combed back with some sideburns, and she stood in front of the water, gently turning half a round. IT Hmph, I will definitely make you lose your mind! Kneel under my dress, hahaha…
At this moment!
"Did you encounter any trouble? If it's not convenient for you to come, don't force yourself."
That was naturally what Li Changshou said to the Blood Mosquito puppet
"Nothing, nothing. I just spoke to a few Western Sect disciples," Daoist Wen Jing hurriedly replied in her heart. Then, she pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, and rolled her eyes. With a flick of her sleeve, her figure disappeared.
She was an expert in hiding from others and preventing them from checking up on her.
Moreover, Daoist Wen Jing was not suspected, and the Western Saints did not notice anything unusual. No one would pay special attention to her whereabouts.
To be safe, Daoist Wen Jing used a few methods to conceal her whereabouts at the same time. She chose a place where the hidden experts of the Western Sect often gathered. Along the way, she used her mystical abilities and sent her incarnation there. Her main body secretly rushed to Anshui City.
ME An hour later, in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, Daoist Wen Jing appeared outside the rear hall. When she sensed the Dao runes of the Connate treasure, her Dao heart trembled slightly.
She had originally held her head high and puffed out her chest as she took a step forward. However, after taking two steps, her eyes landed on the person who was dozing off at the back of the hall master's seat. She could not help but change her posture subconsciously.
As she walked, she deviated from their path. For some reason, she arrived at the left side of the inner hall's door. She held onto the door frame with her slender hands and looked inside.
IT Such a powerful smell!
This feeling of fear and deja vu…
It was just like how she felt as a young girl. Back then, her heart palpitated when she saw the powerful leader in the sea of blood when she was still an ignorant mosquito.
By the way, the leader was smacked to bits by her later.
IT Um..
She moaned softly and winked at him. It's him, it's him, it's him!
She actually spaced out.
*Coughs*
Li Changshou coughed hard. The Great Daoist Master, who was sleeping soundly, sat up calmly. Daoist Wen Jing, who was outside the door, seemed to be shocked and quickly retreated to the side.
Outside the house, Wen Jing's forehead was against the door frame, and she was twisting the corners of her clothes with her fingers.
In the hall, the Great Daoist Master tilted his head slightly. He was confused. He frowned and looked at Li Changshou, who now had the appearance of the Sea God.
IT Is this the ferocious beast of the Primordial World, the queen of the Black-Winged Blood Mosquitoes, who killed countless living beings?
Li Changshou nodded helplessly.
The Queen was indeed the Queen. However, today she might be a little damaged…
"Ahem!" The Great Daoist Master cleared his throat and said, "Changgeng, has the person you were talking about arrived?"
"She's here." Li Changshou smiled and said, "I'll go and call her over now. Great Daoist Master, please wait for a while."
After saying that, Li Changshou held the horsetail whisk in his left hand and the hem of his robe in his right. He rushed out.
ME "Wen Jing, you're here! The Great Daoist Master is inside. Why are you standing there…"
When he reached the door, Li Changshou paused. He saw Daoist Wen Jing holding a handkerchief to her red lips. There were some tears at the corners of her eyes.
The handkerchief was drenched. Her obsession was really admirable!
Li Changshou said in a warm tone, "Wen Jing…"
"Lord, please wait a moment." Daoist Wen Jing covered her mouth and hurriedly sent a voice transmission. "When I saw the Great Daoist Master, I could not help but drool. I immediately held back."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He cursed using the vulgarities of Ren School and in the language of Xiong Village.
Report chapter
Chapter 305 Discussing About The Saint
It was autumn in the South Continent and there was a gathering at the coast of the South Ocean. The only disciple of the Saint of Ren School who was one of the first batch of humans that the Goddess Nuwa had personally created, and also the oldest pure Yang person in the Primordial World, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Three Schools of the Dao Sect, and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, met the secret pawn of Ren School— Daoist Wen Jing.
In this meeting that did not have much historical significance in the Primordial World, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du used his gentle smile and extremely personable character to leave a deep impression on Daoist Wen Jing.
The scene was warm and pleasant. As the witness of this matter, the matchmaker, the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts, who had several other identities, the Little Daoist Master of Ren School, the young disciple of Ren School, the favorite Dharma treasure of the Saint of Ren School, the stand-in Elder Moon of the Heavenly Courts, the controller of the Little Acacia Tree… was really sweating.
She drooled because of the Great Daoist Master!
Why? Do you want to steam the Great Daoist Master?
Fortunately, Li Changshou was still smiling and trying to smooth things over. He tried to make Daoist Wen Jing's expression which initially seemed to show that she was a fan of the Great Daoist Master, seem like a special way for the primordial ferocious mosquitoes to express their respect.
Otherwise, Li Changshou would completely understand the reason if the Great Daoist Master were to kill the Blood Mosquito.
In order to prevent Daoist Wen Jing from going crazy, Li Changshou cut to the chase and said, "Wen Jing, I called you over because of Jin Chanzi. Previously, in the West Ocean, Jin Chanzi injured my incarnation. He was ferocious and arrogant. I invited the Great Daoist Master here today to find this Jin Chanzi!"
Fortunately, Daoist Wen Jing seemed to be a little normal when it came to serious matters… However, she was also a little abnormal.
She actually revealed her righteousness and said firmly, "Do you need me to take action?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Previously, she was still a servant. Now, she called herself a subordinate.
Tsk, a fickle and vicious woman.
"No," Li Changshou said. "You have more important things to do there. Hide and wait for the right time. Tell me everything you know about the Golden Cicada and I will be more confident."
"Yes." Daoist Wen Jing agreed and began to walk around in front of the Great Daoist Master.
She raised her head, puffed out her chest, revealed her figure, and deliberately let out a few soft moans. She revealed her mature and intelligent side. Every action, every expression, and every gaze was carefully considered. However, Li Changshou had a deja vu that… he was pretending to be the dragon girl.
Not long after, she parted her red lips and said gently, "In my opinion…" Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master could not help but listen attentively.
"Um…"
Daoist Wen Jing blinked at Li Changshou and asked via voice transmission, "Are you going to deal with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, Lord Sea God?"
Li Changshou slipped and almost fell to the ground.
"Yes, hurry up!" Li Changshou gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission. Daoist Wen Jing blinked and paced around again. After pondering for a while, she finally said something that would not be misheard. "It's very difficult."
The inner hall of the Sea God Temple was silent for a few seconds. The Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou were speechless.
Daoist Wen Jing turned around, pursed her lips, and closed her eyes. She wished she could punch herself.
Where did all my intelligence, ruthlessness, and cunningness go?! When it's time to showcase my abilities, I can't squeeze out any of them! "That makes sense." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Wen Jing, do you know where the Golden Cicada's Cave Abode is? Does it have any weaknesses?"
Wen Jing hurriedly tried to salvage the situation and said, "The Golden Cicada Cave Abode should be near the spiritual mountain. I never had much interaction with him, so I've never explored it. It is hard to find a weakness in him. For Connate lifeforms like me and him, who were born from the Primordial World, we must have some life-saving methods to be able to survive so many disasters to this day. Such methods will not appear in front of others. However, I schemed against him just now. After the Sea God asked me to see him off, I secretly snatched two wisps of his essence soul. In order to prevent him from suspecting, I destroyed a wisp of her essence soul in front of him and injured him further. I do not want to cause trouble for you. There's… still one wisp here."
Daoist Wen Jing shook her hand gently. A wisp of blood energy lingered on her fingertips and condensed into a small Blood Cicada.
Li Changshou looked at Daoist Wen Jing with admiration and smiled. "You really can make me… and the Great Daoist Master feel at ease."
Beside him, the Great Daoist Master nodded with a smile.
Although he had the urge to criticize her for her dirty tricks, he just had to maintain a smile at this point.
Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk, and the blood cicada floated in front of the Great Daoist Master.
"Great Daoist Master, is this useful?"
"It's useless." The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "It's not difficult to know where he is. Why don't you leave this with Wen Jing?"
"Yes," Li Changshou replied respectfully and returned the blood cicada…
Uh, where are the mosquitoes?
A few question marks appeared above Li Changshou's head as he looked at the still afterimage that was left behind.
The Great Daoist Master raised his chin outside the hall. Li Changshou turned his head and saw Daoist Wen Jing running out the door again. She stuck her head out and looked over. For some reason, she looked a little… emotional. Could it be because the Great Daoist Master called her name?
Li Changshou sighed and said, "I'm here to discuss serious matters. Why are you always running out?"
Buzz ~
"Speak." "Blabla ~"
Li Changshou silently took out a scroll from his sleeve and threw it out.
He chided, "Calm down."
The Great Daoist Master could not help but ask curiously, "What is that?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "That's just a painting of mine. I want to see if I can make her return to normal."
"Oh?"
The Great Daoist Master immediately got interested…
"Great Daoist Master, it's not appropriate to be interested." Li Changshou hurriedly stopped the Great Daoist Master. A few sounds could be heard outside the door. The painting had been torn into pieces by Daoist Wen Jing.
After a while, Daoist Wen Jing floated back. Although she was still acting coquettish and did not dare to look at the Great Daoist Master, she could already communicate normally.
Yada yada.
Daoist Wen Jing told him everything she knew about Jin Chanzi.
Li Changshou made slight adjustments to the battle plan according to the information.
Daoist Wen Jing stayed there for two hours before leaving reluctantly. Before she left, she even bowed to Li Changshou.
Although the Great Daoist Master was there today and had attracted all of Daoist Wen Jing's attention, Daoist Wen Jing still sensed something unusual before she left.
The vigor of the Sea God's body seemed to be the purest and densest…
True form?
Daoist Wen Jing's heart skipped a beat. Then, she understood something. If the Great Daoist Master was not beside him, the Sea God's true body would not have appeared…
This is probably Ren School.
With a faint sigh, Daoist Wen Jing left the South Continent silently and returned to the place where her incarnation had gone.
If she had guessed correctly, there would be a good show coming up. It might even alarm the Saints of the Western Sect.
She had just said that she had vaguely heard a few disciples and Deputy Sect Leaders of the Western Sect discussing that the Golden Cicada was closely related to the Western Sect. The Saint had the intention to take the Golden Cicada in as his disciple and remove all traces of it being a ferocious beast.
How did they do it?
It was actually very simple. Before the Primordial World was destroyed by the dragons and phoenixes, there were no other forms of ferocious beasts. It was only during ancient times that there was a distinction between the Connate lifeforms that survived.
Those with strength, background, Dharma treasures and vast connections were also known as Connate lifeforms.
As for those who had strength but no background, lacked Dharma treasures, and were antisocial, they were known as the Primordial Beasts. They were abandoned by the Heavenly Dao and gradually purged by the hundred ancient races.
As long as the Golden Cicada successfully became a disciple of a Saint, he could be transformed from a Connate ferocious beast to a Connate life form.
Daoist Wen Jing was not envious of such matters.
It was just a title. It was not as important as her Great Daoist Master.
"Wen Jing… Hmph, I'll make you call me Queen next time! Hahahaha!"
Buzz
After Daoist Wen Jing left, the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou fell into deep thought.
"There's an eighty percent chance that the two Uncle-Masters from the Western Sect will be alarmed if we touch the Golden Cicada." The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned slightly. "From the looks of it, Changshou, you have to kill the Golden Cicada. If the Saint of the Western Sect appears, I can still use the Taiji Painting to block him. However, you have to remember that once the Saint's Dao runes appear, you have to stop immediately. That way, he will not be considered a disgrace to the Saint."
Li Changshou nodded solemnly although he wanted to ask him to forget it.
However, it was a mission given by the Saint. It was impossible for him to enjoy the protection of the Saint without giving anything.
The risk that he had to take this time was already a necessary condition. What he could do was to do his best to turn that matter into his own opportunity… "Great Daoist Master," Li Changshou said, "What level is the strength of the Western Saint at?"
"This…" The Great Daoist Master thought for a while and raised his hand, pointing it at the roof beam. The Taiji Painting appeared at the roof beam and completely enveloped the place. The Great Daoist Master said seriously, "I'll take this opportunity to tell you about the strength of the Saint." He explained, "When the Primordial World was created, the strongest Saint in the world was the Great God Pangu. However, the Great God Pangu endured the karma of splitting open the sky. He sacrificed himself to help the countless True Spirits in the Chaos Sea, which resulted in the current Primordial World."
"The Great God Pangu had obtained the Primordial Chalice from the chaos. He is the Boundless Saint of the Primordial Dao. He is also the only Great Dao known to the Primordial World. Now, Teacher, my two Uncle-Masters, and Uncle-Master Jie Yin from the Western Sect are working hard in that direction…"
Li Changshou could not help but find it strange that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du only mentioned the four Saints today.
He asked, "Then, the other two Saints…"
"Don't worry. Listen to me carefully. I should be telling you this."
The Great Daoist Master took a sip of tea and said slowly, "After the Great God Pangu died, the Great Dao directly appeared in the original world. There were six strongest experts in the world who wanted to pursue the position of the Great Dao Saint. There are also strong and weak experts among the six. The Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun, and the Fiend Ancestor, Luo Hou, were the strongest. The Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix were second. The names of the other two experts had been erased from the Great Dao. According to his teacher's speculation, they should be the Connate Godfiends that the Great God Pangu had killed during the opening of the world."
"At that time, the three old masters of the Dao Sect had not cultivated for long. Although they had the protection of the Heaven Splitting Merit, their realms were slightly inferior to the six experts. The person who had instigated the first Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation was the Fiend Ancestor, Rahula. He had used the resentment of living beings to forcefully cultivate the Ten Thousand Spirit True Spirit. After the Dragon-Phoenix War ended and the Primordial World was destroyed, the Demon Ancestor, Rahula, suddenly revealed his ferocious claws and teeth. He wanted to destroy the Primordial World and trace back to the Great Dao to pursue the opportunity to attain the Dao. At that time, the Ancestor of the Dao Sect, who had been cultivating in secret and did not care about the affairs of the world, stood up and fought with Rahula. In the end, Rahula was killed in the Aparagodānīya Continent. The spirit roots and spirit meridians of the Aparagodānīya Continent were shattered because of the battle. The current Aparagodānīya Continent is formed by the Dao Ancestor using his great Dharma powers." Li Changshou nodded slightly when he heard that. Such a secret could not be seen in the ancient books… although he had seen many versions in his previous life.
The Great Daoist Master continued, "When the six old masters became Saints in the ancient times, the two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect used their grand aspirations to borrow the merit of the Heavenly Dao and become Saints. One of the most important wishes was not to save all living beings but to revive the Western Sect. The two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect are now risking their lives to make the Western Sect stronger. They even resort to unscrupulous means and owe the Heavenly Dao karma! Do you think that the Western Sect is going overboard by using the ferocious beasts and demons to cause trouble?"
Li Changshou blinked. Could there be something more overboard? The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "In ancient times, these two Uncle-Masters dug up the Spirit Roots of the Middle Continent and extracted the spiritual energy of the Major Chiliocosm. They saw a treasure and found some Connate lifeforms. They told them they were fated with the Western Sect and forced them to join them. If Third Uncle-Master had not stood up and waved the four Immortal Vanquishing Swords, perhaps half of the immortals of Jie School would have been fated guests of the Western Sect! Hahahaha!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It was similar to what he knew.
He asked, "Great Daoist Master, is there a huge difference in strength between the six Saints?"
"It's hard to say. It's related to the strength of the six Saints before they became Saints. It's also related to the Connate treasures that they each wield." The Great Daoist Master cleared his throat and smiled.
"After the last battle of ancient times, our Dao Sect's ancestor obtained the opportunity to become a Saint. I heard from Teacher that the Dao Ancestor could have forcefully broken through the Heavenly Dao and entered the Primordial Chaos Great Dao Saint realm before the Heavenly Dao completely manifested. However, if the Dao Ancestor did that, the Primordial World would quickly collapse…"
"It was the Dao Ancestor who had abandoned the position of the Saint of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao and used the Creation Jade Disc to perfect the Heavenly Dao. He had gradually integrated himself into the Heavenly Dao to make up for the lack of the Heavenly Dao and protect the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm." "Therefore, the Dao Ancestor is both a Saint and not a Saint. He could be called a Heavenly Dao Saint and is the most special."
"The six Saints are all disciples of the Dao Ancestor. However, the two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect are just in-name disciples."
"In ancient times, the Dao Ancestor divided the Primordial Violet Qi in the Purple Cloud Palace. That was the opportunity to become a Saint. At that time, the person closest to the Great Dao Saint realm was our… Ahem, my teacher."
"Teacher was originally unwilling to fuse with that wisp of Primordial Violet Qi. However, if he wanted to become a Saint of the Great Dao, he had to break through the barrier of the Heavenly Dao and fight against the Dao Ancestor."
"Since he was helpless, Teacher had no choice but to fuse with the Primordial Violet Qi and establish a sect. That is also the reason that my teacher is almost not restrained by the Heavenly Dao. He can do whatever he wants. After establishing the Ren School and accepting me as his disciple, he stopped caring about the other matters."
"Compared to Teacher, Second Uncle-Master's realm and Third Uncle-Master's are similar. They are just slightly weaker than Teacher. Therefore, he is not considered to be deeply restrained by the Heavenly Dao."
"After all, they all had Heaven-splitting Merit. Uncle-Master Jie Yin of the Western Sect should be in the same realm as the two Uncle-Masters. However, Uncle-Master Jie Yin does not have killing treasures such as the Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords and the Pangu Banner. He also doesn't have the protection of the Taiji Painting or the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. Therefore, he is indeed slightly weaker."
"The Goddess has a red embroidered ball. If a Saint touches it, he would be injured. If a Zenith Heaven Immortal touches it, he will die. Although the Goddess relied on merit to become a goddess, her overall strength is only slightly weaker than Uncle-Master Jie Yin. There's also another person, Uncle-Master Zhun Ti…"
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "If we meet the Saint this time, it will probably be him."
The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and said, "Yes, that Uncle-Master's Seven Wonder Tree is quite unique. However… you don't have to be afraid. Just do it."
Li Changshou immediately felt more confident.
It seemed that it was time to test his escape technique again…
At the same time, in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Yi, who had just returned to this place, did not delay for a single moment. He returned the troops and hurriedly returned to his bedroom.
He took off his armor and waved the maidservant away. He walked to the table in the corner that was carved out of jade and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.
This…
This is!
"Uh, the 'Steadiness Sutra'? Anonymous?"
Ao Yi blinked and started reading attentively as he decided to give it a try.

Chapter 306 Angst Pagoda Master Is Here
What plan should he use to plot against the Golden Cicada?
Of course, he would first lure the cicada out of the mountain, lure it into the array, restrict the cicada's mystical abilities, and then show the cicada's weakness, and attack the cicada when it was unprepared. Then, he would kill the cicada and scatter its ashes.
Li Changshou understood that it was a crucial battle for him to advance towards the Tushita Palace!
However, one thing was for sure. If Li Changshou were to "coincidentally" meet Jin Chanzi, Li Changshou would not be his match in a head-on battle. There was no other reason. Their accumulation of various aspects of cultivation was too different.
There was a huge difference between Li Changshou and Jin Chanzi in terms of combat mystical abilities and speed. However, Li Changshou understood very well, the importance of being flexible. He would not force himself to be thick-skinned and really fight with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. If he did not have enough combat power, he could come up with a plan to gather some. He could set up some array formations and add some schemes.
The Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect was escorting Li Changshou, while the Connate treasure was protecting him. Li Changshou was actually in an invincible position. What he needed to think about was how to 'trap the cicada' and 'break the defense'. The Great Daoist Master was also worried that Li Changshou would be accidentally killed by the Golden Cicada. This time, he was not stingy. When they went to the West Ocean to set up an ambush, the Great Daoist Master's mystical ability against Jin Chanzi had given Li Changshou three types of support in defeating the enemy. The Water-Fire Origin Array was used to seal the universe.
The Nine-Spirit Mystic Energy Array was used to trap Jin Chanzi and slow him down. There were also two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
The Great Daoist Master did not have any numinous treasures. After all, he could borrow the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Wind-Fire meditation cushion, the Earth-Fire Flag, and many other treasures of Ren School at any time… There was no choice. Li Changshou was not an official member for now. He could only take advantage of the trial card given by an official member…
When the Great Daoist Master waved his sleeve in the air and personally set up two array formations, he hid the two array formations in a desolate forest where the West Ocean and the Aparagodānīya Continent intersected… "Changshou, receive the pagoda!" The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du shouted softly. He held the exquisite Heaven And Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and pushed it gently, sending it to the top of Li Changshou's head.
The mysterious aura around the three-inch-tall pagoda scattered and emitted colorful rays of light that enveloped Li Changshou.
It was a supreme-grade defensive numinous treasure, one of the strongest treasures in the world, the Heaven Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda!
Just like that, it landed on his head! At that moment! Li Changshou felt a sense of warmth, peace, and… indescribable gratitude! I, Changshou, am willing to work hard for Ren School and shed my blood to a certain extent! The pagoda vibrated gently. Li Changshou felt a little enlightened. It was as if the pagoda was talking to him, encouraging and comforting him. It made him straighten his chest and face the future bravely… "What are you thinking about? Hurry up! Let go of your mind and let me protect your essence soul." Huh? Who's talking? Li Changshou glared at the small pagoda above him.
The light around the pagoda seemed to be flickering rhythmically. Wisps of warm aura flowed through Li Changshou's body, making his immortal power become clearer.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stood at the side with his hands behind his back and smiled without saying anything. Li Changshou heard the rough voice, which was not of a specific gender, continue to ring in his heart. It was a voice that Li Changshou was familiar with in his previous life.
Why is my mind in turmoil? "I was given to you by Master for temporary use. Don't think that you can control me with just this bit of Dao Attainment." "As a disciple of Ren School, you should have some background as a disciple of Ren School. What's with the fluctuations in your mental state? Where did you come from?" "Today, I, the Pagoda, will protect you. What else can happen?". "If the Immortal Vanquishing Sword Array does not come, the Pangu Banner will not be activated. If anyone can hurt you, I will write my name backward. Do you believe me?" "You have already been taken care of by the Saint and you are about to become his disciple. Why don't you have the demeanor of an expert from Ren School? You have completely embarrassed Ren School!"
"Look at yourself, can you buck up?"
1111
Li Changshou felt helpless and turned to look at the Great Daoist Master.
The Great Daoist Master turned around and shrugged. However, he did not laugh. The Great Daoist Master said, "Changshou, you have to respect Senior." "Yes," Li Changshou answered respectfully. He bowed deeply towards the Heaven Earth Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda above his head and then relaxed. The small pagoda slowly sank into Li Changshou's Dao Body. At that moment, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was still attacking wildly.
"That's right. I am a numinous treasure. Do you know what a numinous treasure is? Do you know what a mysterious yellow aura is?"
"You don't understand, right? Come, let me tell you slowly." "I have to start from before the creation of the world…"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "If the numinous treasure has sufficient spirituality, it can naturally communicate with the wielder. Teacher's treasures have always been by Teacher's side for a long time. Teacher has also rejected all the communication with them, so they seem to be rather talkative
now."
"Great Daoist Master." Li Changshou was a little flustered. "Why did I hear… a strange accent?"
Li Changshou had an answer to that question.
"What strange accent? Do you really think that I can speak? Do I have a mouth or something? "This is the voice that I sent to your essence soul through spiritual communication. Your essence soul will understand and condense it on its own. If you don't even know this, how did you become a Golden Immortal? How old are you? You're still so naive… Uh, why aren't you 300 years old yet? That's fine. You're just a kid. Don't worry. I'll protect you so you can do whatever you want!" His voice was filled with love and concern. It was much gentler than before. Li Changshou pursed his lips and frowned. He had learned something today. "Great Daoist Master," Li Changshou said, "Why don't we act out a few retreating scenes?"
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Hasn't your plan been completed?"
"No matter how much is written on the paper, it's better to test it out a few more times." Li Changshou bowed and said, "Great Daoist Master, please grant me my wish."
"Alright." The Great Daoist Master shook his sleeve. "Tell me, how should we rehearse?"
Li Changshou took out a few paper effigies from his sleeve…
Two days later…
At noon, the warm rays of sunlight shone on the blue sea.
In the sky above the West Ocean near the Aparagodānīya Continent, several figures rode a cloud over. The first person had white hair and was wearing a white robe with a smile on his face. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand, and his immortal body emitted a faint Golden Immortal pressure. He was Li Changshou's Sea God paper effigy. Behind him, there were three silver-armored Heavenly Generals. The three of them had similar auras and were connected. They seemed to be in the Golden Immortal realm. The four figures flew above the West Ocean Dragon Palace on a cloud and headed straight for the Dragon Palace. As soon as they entered the ocean, they heard the dragons roaring. Azure dragons and flood dragons surged out of the magnificent crystal palace and formed a human shape in front of Li Changshou and the others. They bowed to Li Changshou from afar.
An old dragon-headed man led the group out and shouted, "Greetings, Sea God. Sea God, please enter!"
Li Changshou knew that the dragon-headed elder was the younger brother of the West Ocean Dragon King. He also had a lot of authority in the West Ocean Dragon Palace. After exchanging some pleasantries, Li Changshou and the three Heavenly Generals were led into the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
"The Dragon King is already waiting in the hall. Sea God, please head there."
"Okay."
Li Changshou put his hands in his sleeves and laid his horsetail whisk in his arms. He smiled and followed the dragon-headed elder to the main hall of the West Sea Dragon King. The three Heavenly Generals did not enter the Dragon Palace. When he saw the West Sea Dragon King, Li Changshou immediately explained his intentions.
"Dragon King, I'm here to ask about something. Have you found any traces of the Primordial Beast that tried to harm the dragon sons and even attacked my incarnation?"
That was the first step of the plan to destroy the cicadas — luring the cicada with the Dragon Palace.
When the Dragon King of the West Ocean heard that question, he sighed. "I won't hide it from you, Sea God. I gained nothing." "Oh?"
Li Changshou frowned slightly. "At the very least, we should find out when he sneaked into the Dragon Palace and how he got to know the few of you."
"This…"
The West Ocean Dragon King stroked his beard and said, "I have indeed sent someone to investigate this matter. I have also personally asked my son about it. I have indeed found nothing. I only know that the ferocious beast is a Six-Winged Golden Cicada. This ferocious beast is of the metal and water elements. It is good at the mystical abilities of the universe. It had once caused trouble in ancient times and was chased out of the Chaotic Sea. Moreover, there is someone behind this Six-Winged Golden Cicada to conceal the heavenly secrets for him…"
What he meant was that he had already pointed out the fact that Jin Chanzi was from the Western Sect. Li Changshou asked again, "Are there really no clues about the whereabouts of the Golden Cicada?"
The West Sea Dragon King shook his head slowly and said, "I'll order my people to search with all their might."
"Forget it. There's no need to trouble you."
Li Changshou stood up and cupped his hands at the Sea Dragon King. He looked displeased and turned to leave the hall. The West Ocean Dragon King stood up and wanted to persuade him to stay, but he could not say anything… How could the Dragon King not know about the situation in the West Ocean? He was just helpless. If he did not move, he could still maintain his original state and secretly compete. If he moved, the West Ocean Dragon Palace would not be able to recover…
Li Changshou walked out of the hall and seemed to have calmed down. He turned around and bowed to the West Ocean Dragon
King.
He said calmly, "Dragon King, I will settle the scores of Golden Cicada injuring my incarnation. Please forgive me for disturbing you today, Dragon King. I'll take my leave." Then, he turned around and left, writing the word 'dissatisfied' on his face.
"Well…."
The West Ocean Dragon King could only sit on the throne and sigh softly. However, he could not do anything.
At the same time, in a corner of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, an Immortal Flood Dragon soldier stared at Li Changshou's back as he left. A ferocious glint flashed in his eyes… After leaving the Crystal Palace, Li Changshou met up with the three Heavenly Generals. One of the Heavenly Generals asked, "Sea God, have you found any traces of that ferocious beast?" "The West Ocean Dragon Palace did not manage to find anything." Li Changshou sighed. "I've troubled the three of you to make a trip. I thought that the Dragon Palace would take this matter seriously. I didn't expect it to be just this."
Another general said, "Sea God, the Marshal injured that ferocious beast that day. Now is the best time to find him and bring him bad luck!"
"What's so good about bullying the incarnation of the Sea God? The Marshal of that day severely injured him with just a glance. Today, the three of us are here. We must let this ferocious beast die!" "That's right. This ferocious beast is cunning. It bullies the weak and fears the strong. It should really be killed!" "Alright," Li Changshou said. "Why don't the three of you follow me to the place where I met the ferocious beast and see if you can find any clues?"
The three days passed peacefully. The four of them left the West Ocean Dragon Palace and rode a cloud towards the distance.
Had he taken the bait?
In a dark corner, Li Changshou muttered to himself and used his immortal senses to observe his surroundings. The pagoda master's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Little fellow, you've been targeted. Is that the ferocious beast you're looking for?" "He has three pairs of wings and dyed himself golden. He is following behind. After transforming, he is quite handsome." Li Changshou was shocked. Although he could not detect any traces of Jin Chanzi, the words of the Saint's numinous treasure could not be faked. This Golden Cicada was really fearless. Moreover, its immunity to the "provocative method" was almost zero… Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He followed the plan.
He and the three Heavenly Generals quickly arrived at the sea area where he had encountered Jin Chanzi previously. They searched carefully there…
The search was fruitless.
Just as Li Changshou had expected, Jin Chanzi did not appear directly. Instead, he continued to hide in the dark and seemed to be hesitating. Then, he would add two more fires. Li Changshou said, "The three of you, if you continue searching like this, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. He had vomited a lot of blood here previously, but now, it's hard to find his aura." A Heavenly General asked, "Sea God, what should we do?" "I plan to go to the spiritual mountain of the Aparagodānīya Continent and ask the Western Sect about this matter," Li Changshou said. "The Western Sect is competing with the Heavenly Courts for the dragon race. This Golden Cicada actually attacked me directly. It's too overbearing. At the end of the day, I still am a disciple of Ren School. I really want to ask the people of the Western Sect if the ferocious beast that they raised has any manners!" A ferocious beast they raised?
At the bottom of the sea, in a certain crack in the universe, the veins on the back of the delicate-looking young Daoist's hand bulged. The corners of his mouth twitched continuously, and the ferocious glint in his eyes became even sharper! On the surface of the sea, Li Changshou and the three Heavenly Generals rode a cloud and headed towards the Aparagodānīya Continent.
In the spatial rift, Jin Chanzi's expression changed several times. Although he was angry, he was still weighing the pros and cons.
If he let the Sea God and the others go to the spiritual mountain to cause trouble, what would happen to him?
However, while Jin Chanzi was thinking, he subconsciously followed them secretly. He was not worried that he would be exposed.
Jin Chanzi could naturally tell that the Sea God he was seeing now was still an incarnation and not the Sea God's main body. Otherwise, he would not have hesitated and would have already killed the other party… Jin Chanzi did not care about the three Heavenly Generals at all. Not long after, Jin Chanzi made a decision. I can't let them go to the spiritual mountain. Even if it doesn't affect me, I'm afraid that the Deputy Sect Masters will blame me for being incompetent and affect the matter of me becoming a disciple. A ferocious ray of light shone in Jin Chanzi's eyes. At the same time, Li Changshou felt a headache…
At that moment, the pagoda master, who was hiding in his Dao Body, was using the traditional skills of Ren School's numinous
treasures…
He was nagging "Why are you hiding? Turn around and fight. With me around, what are you afraid of?" "This is just a ferocious beast in the Zenith Heaven realm. It can't even be considered a quasi-saint. How can he hurt you?" "Think about it. In the past, the Demon Emperor was considered a top-notch figure. I protected the Great Daoist Master, but didn't I also provoke the Demon Emperor a few times to the extent that he could not retaliate?" "You are from Ren School, do you understand?"
Then…
In the darkness, Li Changshou tried his best to maintain his smile and try his best not to be affected by the pagoda. After all, being scolded by the pagoda in such a manner was something that others could not envy…
Li Changshou could not help but imagine that scene.
During the ancient battle, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was on top of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's head and he also had the Taiji Painting to back him up. He wielded the Heaven and Earth Ruler and stepped on the Wind-Fire meditation cushion. He fought with the emperor of the demons and caused the world to tremble.
In reality, in the Great Daoist Master's heart… The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda said, "Kill him! Do it! Yin-Yang Reincarnation! Open up! Open up! Eldest Disciple, can you do it?!" The Taiji Painting said, "Don't save him any face! Hit his East Emperor Bell! If this little bell doesn't follow his elder brother and second brother, how can it be impressive just by assisting a Demon Emperor?"
The Heaven and Earth Ruler said, "I'm not a treasure but I can still move him."
Wind-Fire meditation cushion said, "He's following a few big brothers. It's very suitable." Li Changshou's Adam's apple bobbed. For a moment, he could not bear to look at it. He quickly erased the images in his head to prevent himself from being possessed.
He suddenly heard the Pagoda Master shout again. "He's coming. He's about to attack. Turn around and attack him!"

Chapter 307 One Of The… Ultimate Trump Cards
After hearing the warning from the Black Yellow Tower, Li Changshou's heart tensed up. His immortal senses captured a hint of disturbance in the universe…
The universe referred to the two opposing sides of heaven and earth or Yin and Yang. The Primordial World referred to space.
On the surface of the sea, it was invisible!
It was as if a blade was rapidly approaching the four of them!
"Be careful!"
Li Changshou shouted loudly. The four figures on the cloud rushed forward. In three days, they would use the Wind Escape technique at the same time. Their figures turned into three wisps of smoke and disappeared.
Li Changshou turned around and took the initiative to attack Jin Chanzi.
He put away his horsetail whisk and a thin blade covered in golden light strangely appeared in front of Li Changshou. It dragged out a thin golden line and slashed at Li Changshou's neck!
In front of the blade, ripples appeared in the universe. They looked like ripples in the water, and they actually looked beautiful.
They were ripples of slaughter.
Things were different now. How could Li Changshou sit still and wait for death?
Unknowingly, a blue pearl appeared in his left hand. The pearl flickered slightly, and Li Changshou's body turned into a ball of seawater!
The golden thin blade passed through the water without any resistance…
After the thin blade slashed across, the two streams of water merged again and transformed into the white-robed old immortal. He was completely unharmed.
Li Changshou looked up into the distance and smiled.
The pearl in his hand was one of the Five-Element Pearls that Daoist Duobao had given him.
At that moment, the three Heavenly Generals were gone.
On the surface of the ocean 50 kilometers away, Jin Chanzi stood with his hands behind his back. He pursed his lips and said in a sarcastic tone, "If you want to look for me, why go to the spiritual mountain? Why, is the Sea God willing to talk to me this time?"
A numinous treasure sword appeared in Li Changshou's right hand. He held the Water Spirit Pearl in his left hand and said calmly, "Golden Cicada, I came to look for you today because I wanted to find the dignity that you had left behind previously. Since you attacked me previously, don't blame me for being ruthless today!"
Jin Chanzi's long and narrow eyes were filled with smiles as he said leisurely, "Sea God, did you and the three Heavenly Generals come here because you thought that I was stupid and could not guess that the three Heavenly Generals were your incarnations? Are you rushing to the front to set up an ambush? Tsk, I thought that you were smart and scheming, Sea God. I thought that you and I are the same. I never thought that today, I would expose your low cultivation level and you don't know how to do it. You only have some tricks up your sleeves."
Li Changshou said, "You talk too much."
Jin Chanzi paused. The fire in his eyes burned even brighter as killing intent surged.
Li Changshou took a deep breath and the immortal power around him began to surge. The ocean beneath his feet surged with dense water spiritual energy and poured it into the pearl in his left hand.
It seemed that they were about to fight head-on!
At that moment, on the shore 15,000 kilometers east, the three Heavenly Generals had just arrived. They quickly set up a huge array formation.
It was exactly as Jin Chanzi had said.
The mockery in Jin Chanzi's eyes became more intense. Six thin golden wings slowly appeared on his back. His body was enveloped by a faint golden light, and he looked indescribably holy.
Li Changshou's heart did not waver. He even wanted to laugh.
Jin Chanzi slowly raised his right hand. The thin wings on his back spread open, and hundreds of light spots appeared on it. Within the light spots, thin blades slowly condensed… "Sea God, I'll accept your four incarnations today!" Before he could finish his sentence, Jin Chanzi waved his right hand in front of him weakly. Light wings spread out, and hundreds of thin blades broke through the universe. With an ear-piercing whistle, they slashed at Li Changshou!
At that moment, Li Changshou had raised his immortal power to a certain critical point. He faced the golden light that filled the sky and looked at the thin blades that strangely appeared in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched.
The Five Elements rotated and combined into one!
The water flowed on its own, and he could not sense it!
Water…
At that moment, the spiritual will of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda reached Li Changshou's essence soul and projected a calm sentence. "Don't worry, little fellow. Even if it's just an incarnation, I'll give it to you…" Before the spiritual will of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda could be fully transmitted, a small cloth bag on Li Changshou's sleeve was about to emit a faint light!
However, "Li Changshou" swayed slightly and turned into a ball of clear water before exploding!
At such a moment, he, of course, had to use Water Escape!
Hundreds of thin blades slashed in all directions, and crisscrossing gullies appeared on the surface of the sea. The universe was in turmoil, and spiritual energy surged. In the blink of an eye, the weather changed.
Li Changshou's figure appeared thousands of kilometers away. He laughed loudly and turned around to rush towards the array formation that the three Heavenly Generals were setting up!
Although he was escaping, he felt a sense of heroism.
"Golden Cicada, do you dare to chase after
me!?!"
"Sea God!"
Jin Chanzi gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. The six golden cicada wings on his back trembled slightly. His figure disappeared from the surface of the sea, leaving only a few ear-piercing sounds of the wind whistling. Jin Chanzi's angry roar could be heard from 5,000 kilometers away. "Do you really think you can escape!?!" Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. The paper effigy's immortal power erupted and perfectly concealed the fluctuations in his sleeve. His body, which had merged with the seawater, suddenly sped up! The shouting formed by Jin Chanzi's immortal power gradually faded away!
So fast?
Jin Chanzi, who was chasing at the back, was also stunned. Then, he became even angrier. The six cicada wings on his back began to move rhythmically. Every time the cicada wings moved, his figure would flash forward once, leaving behind a ring of smoke-like ripples. However, Jin Chanzi was shocked to discover that although he could catch up to the Sea God, he was 5,000 kilometers away! The escape technique of the Sea God… Could it be that there was the power of the Heavenly Dao in the ocean?
Jin Chanzi was right this time…
He was half-correct.
Li Changshou's paper effigy's immortal power fluctuations were only acting as a cover. The true one who used the Water Escape was actually the main body hiding in the paper effigy's sleeve. This was the first time that Li Changshou had unleashed his immortal power with all his might and used his most prized mystical ability -Water Escape technique!
In the blink of an eye, the normal scenery was almost distorted.
He obtained the Water Essence Pearl's enhancement.
He was wrapped in the divine power of the Sea God.
After he transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he had been continuously studying and improving the Water Escape technique…
At that moment, Li Changshou felt as if there was a little person shouting in his heart.
As long as I escape fast enough, it's impossible for any mystical abilities to hit me!
Li Changshou had already expected what would happen at that moment when he first came up with that plan. The ambush location was the location that he had deduced after making calculations in his heart. He had also considered the possibility that Jin Chanzi had hidden some of his cultivation…
Everything was developing in the direction that Li Changshou had deduced. However, at the bottom of his heart…
He was being attacked by a certain pagoda master.
"Why are you running? Just hit him!"
"Little kid, why are you so familiar with running? If you have the ability, why can't you fight him later?"
"I'm the Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth. I'm invulnerable to all Dharma, and I can't be destroyed unless I'm a killing treasure. It's really… awkward for you to run like this…"
Li Changshou could only smile and repeatedly apologize.
He begged again and again that if the attack did not land on his main body, he would ask the Mysterious Yellow Tower not to appear.
Fortunately, he had unleashed his full speed and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Li Changshou plunged into the array formation set up by the three Heavenly Generals and turned around. In the sky, the golden ray of light that was shooting over stopped thousands of feet away. Jin Chanzi spread his thin golden wings and looked at Li Changshou with a smile. He was about to mock him.
Li Changshou smiled and beat him to it.
"I'm good at teleportation and have extreme speed. I'm afraid it will be troublesome if you want to keep me here."
Jin Chanzi's face turned pale.
That was what he had said to Li Changshou previously on the dragon race's immortal ship
At that moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect the Sea God to have such abilities," Jin Chanzi said calmly. "You are indeed the righteous god of the sea. You actually managed to deduce the Water Escape technique to such an extent."
Li Changshou swung his sword and said, "Jin Chanzi, do you dare to enter the array?"
"Hahaha! Why wouldn't I dare?"
Jin Chanzi laughed loudly, but his feet did not move at all. He grabbed the spot in front of him with his left hand, and a purple arrow appeared in front of him.
Jin Chanzi flicked his finger at the purple arrow. The arrow pierced through the air and rushed to the array formation that Li Changshou had set up. It exploded! Wisps of purple and red auras entered the array formation. The spiritual energy in the array formation immediately lost balance, and the small half of the array foundation used to set up the array formation exploded! The array dissipated, revealing the three hidden Heavenly Generals which were actually paper effigies.
Li Changshou's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. The three Heavenly General paper effigies looked a little stunned.
Jin Chanzi took in all the details and smiled.
"I can tell that the array formation you set up is quite ingenious, Sea God. Unfortunately, your realm is still a little lacking. You don't understand the true profoundness of the array formation."
Li Changshou said calmly, "In that case, I'll take my leave today."
"Sea God, why don't you look around?"
Jin Chanzi said calmly. Li Changshou looked over and saw six golden cicada wings!
The world suddenly darkened. The six cicada wings trembled extremely quickly. Ripples spread out and covered a radius of 50 kilometers in the blink of an eye!
The waves froze and the wind stopped blowing. It was as if the pause button had been pressed.
That was the Great Cosmic Technique, the mystical ability that Jin Chanzi was proud of. Its name was unknown.G
Daoist Wen Jing had explained it in detail before. On the surface of the ocean in the distance, Jin Chanzi was leisurely and even showed Li Changshou the secret of this place.
Jin Chanzi revealed his true form. It was a winged golden cicada that had its back facing Li Changshou. The golden cicada was not ugly. In fact, it had a certain charm of the Great Dao that gave it a sense of beauty. The six thin wings that it had on its back when it was in human form, were actually six cicada legs!
Jin Chanzi's main body returned to human form in a flash. The complacency in his eyes intensified.
In the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed. He had completely grasped the initiative and control over the situation in this place.
Li Changshou sighed softly, his eyes filled with indignation. Jin Chanzi did not say anything else. He waved his hands and grabbed the two short knives.
va
Behind Li Changshou, the three Heavenly Generals quickly gathered around him and linked their auras.
Jin Chanzi's figure flashed and he swooped down!
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly. He seemed to have accepted his fate. The immortal powers in the four paper effigies began to surge wildly…
Does he want to self-destruct his incarnation?
Jin Chanzi snorted softly and flashed continuously. The six thin wings in the other three directions disappeared at the same time.
In an instant, golden light flashed, and three heads flew up. The three Heavenly Generals' bodies instantly deflated and turned into paper effigies.
"Hahahaha!"
Jin Chanzi appeared in front of Li Changshou and placed a short blade on his forehead.
"Next time," Jin Chanzi said calmly. "Come and see me with your real body. I will naturally…"
Jin Chanzi suddenly paused.
It was not that he had discovered something unusual and was interrupted. It was purely because his lips could not move, and his body was suddenly frozen!
How could it be…
Why did the universe suddenly lose its senses!?!
The world turned dark again. However, this time, the pause button was pressed within 500 kilometers!
There was something the Golden Cicada could not see.
A Water-Fire Taiji Painting silently appeared in the sky. The power of water and fire in the world was continuously transformed into Yin and Yang. It stirred the Great Dao and sealed the entire world!
The Water-Fire Origin Array!
The illusory figures of nine stone monuments appeared in the world. As the chanting sounded, black chains appeared out of thin air.
The power of Yin and Yang was attached to the chains. One end extended into the void, while the other end wrapped around various parts of Jin Chanzi's body. After it completely bound around him, it became invisible!
Nine-Spirit Mystic Energy Array!
That was an array formation set up by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. It was not something that the Golden Cicada could recognize and break.
At that moment, Li Changshou did not say anything. He did not waste any time. He pursed his lips and threw out paper effigies!
The paper effigies did not transform into humans. Instead, they pounced onto Jin Chanzi!
The 72 paper effigies held hands and stood side by side, as if they had put a layer of robe on Jin Chanzi.
Every paper effigy had the strength of a peak-stage Heaven Immortal and a half-step Golden Immortal. It was very similar to the spiritual explosion paper effigies that Li Changshou had tried and failed to self-destruct, when he had yet to comprehend the method to balance immortal power in the Golden Core.
Li Changshou had really spent a lot of money on the 72 paper effigies. He had almost taken out half of the savings of the spiritual trees of Little Qiong Peak!
The ultimate trump card…
Earth Spirit Explosion Array!
That was the strongest attack that Li Changshou could unleash in an instant!
That scene happened in a split second. When Li Changshou's 'paper effigy' tapped the tip of his toes and retreated, he released 72 streams of light with his hands and injected them into the paper effigies!
Then, he forcefully attached his mind to it and balanced the rhythm of the immortal powers in the 72 paper effigies, pushing them to the critical point of the spiritual explosion!
Jin Chanzi watched the scene with his eyes wide open. At that moment, he had just reacted and wanted to break free of the array's shackles.
However, it was too late.
One breath, two breaths…
The world was dead silent. 72 light spots appeared in the dead silence.
At that moment, Jin Chanzi suddenly understood.
They were all schemes!
The Sea God went to the Dragon Palace to lure him out!
First, he showed weakness to him. Then, he suddenly revealed an escape technique that made him want to fight!
The Sea God had even predicted that he would rush forward and personally destroyed his incarnation…
That's right. The Sea God had set up a powerful trapping array formation here in advance. However, he had deliberately set up a layer of array formation in front of Jin Chanzi and asked him to destroy the outer layer of the array formation so that the latter would think that he had control of the entire situation.
In fact, the real trap was hidden under the trap!
It was both real and fake!
Jin Chanzi looked at the Sea God's retreating figure and suddenly felt fear in his heart.
No, that was not the most terrifying thing.
That human had only come into contact with him a few times, but he had already grasped the weakness of his personality!
Sea God!
Jin Chanzi was shouting in his heart. His gaze showed that he was begging for mercy!
However, just as Jin Chanzi was thinking about that, the 72 paper effigies that were wrapped around him had already completed their activation!
Their originally calm and abundant immortal powers suddenly went to the extreme. The layers of talismans engraved on the 72 paper effigies were also catalyzing and accelerating the immortal power's turmoil!
The Heavenly Dao did not allow it, so it could not exist!
Those 72 paper effigies!
Those 72 paper effigies contained Li Changshou's immortal power!
The 72 of them had immortal powers that were comparable to the early-stage Golden Immortal realm. At that moment, they were like 72 Golden Immortals who had just cultivated and had gathered into a group of paper effigies that had self-destructed!
They were ignited at the same time!
Li Changshou instantly retracted his thoughts. His main body seemed to have collapsed. The paper effigy that was controlling the paper effigy that was in the form of an old immortal turned around and fled!
Behind him, it was as if 72 sun stars were rising into the sky!
As soon as the violent spiritual energy surged, it tore the universe into layers of wrinkles…
The world was trembling, and the array formation was shaking!
Li Changshou had only escaped a thousand feet when Jin Chanzi's body was engulfed by the light. The Golden Cicada was roaring silently, but it was torn to pieces by the powerful spiritual energy in the blink of an eye! On the West Ocean Coast, a huge beam of light soared into the sky!
The light beam split into dozens, hundreds, and quickly turned into an incomparably huge ball of light, illuminating the day and earth…
Great Spirit Explosion!
Earth Spirit Explosion Array!
The Great Daoist Master, who had been hiding in the sky, frowned and looked at the scene below. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless.
The spiritual explosion lasted for a few breaths. All the spiritual energy surged out in the shortest time possible.
The spiritual energy within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was in chaos. A gust of wind blew up the seawater within 500 kilometers, exposing the bottom of the shallow sea. Countless seafood were turned into ashes. The deserted island disappeared and turned into a deep pit that was 50 kilometers in diameter. With the ground as the center, rifts extended thousands of kilometers across the ground.
The earth trembled continuously.
Just as a huge "tsunami" in the West Ocean was about to be launched in the opposite direction, a wave of divine power descended. The seawater quickly flowed back, reducing the number of casualties in the sea to the lowest.
In those few breaths, only the Xuanhuang Pagoda in Li Changshou's body could see Li Changshou's main body hiding in the darkness. He lowered his head and carved something on the bamboo slip…
There was still room for improvement in the immortal power conversion rate.
The 72 paper effigies were not the true limit. As the power of his essence soul became stronger, it was possible to increase it to the 108th rank.
The conditions to activate it were too harsh. He had to have a powerful array formation to assist him or catch him off guard.
I can choose the second plan. I can hang the Earth Spirit Explosion Array on the paper effigy and activate it when you approach a powerful enemy…
The Exquisite Heaven And Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was speechless. Without stopping, Li Changshou diverted his attention and rode the paper effigy back from thousands of kilometers away. He quickly rushed to where Jin Chanzi was.
There was a ball of golden light there…
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart.
As expected of a Primordial Beast. He could not even kill it!
At that moment, Li Changshou understood that he probably could not kill Jin Chanzi this time.
From afar, Li Changshou could see that the golden light was a Golden Cicada larva. It had yet to grow wings. Li Changshou carefully sensed the mysterious Dao runes contained in the golden light.
The cicada is returning to its shell?
That should be one of Jin Chanzi's intrinsic mystical abilities. He can hide his dying body in his old shedding, give up most of his cultivation level, memories, and return to the state before he became an expert.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada could only use such a mystical ability once in its life. That was because there was only one old shedding technique that could save his life.
There was no such thing as miscalculation. The ultimate mystical ability of the ferocious Primordial Beast was naturally unknown.
Previously, Li Changshou had calculated many possibilities of escape. However, he did not expect that the other party would return to his shell to save his life.
That was the problem of having too little knowledge.
Li Changshou still had the mentality of giving it a try. He opened his sleeve, and paper effigies appeared… "Stop. This spirit is fated with the Western Sect."
A sigh and a voice came from the clouds. An obscure Dao rune slowly spread out from the world and wrapped around the Golden Cicada's skin.
Li Changshou suddenly shivered. He abandoned all the paper effigies that he had scattered. The old immortal paper effigy was instantly engulfed by the flames and turned into ashes!
At that moment, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's figure appeared at the spot where Li Changshou was originally standing. His sleeve fluttered and ashes entered the Great Daoist Master's sleeve.
They had arrived!
In the sky, white clouds scattered and the sky was filled with rays of light. An old Daoist priest in a tattered Daoist robe sat cross-legged on the clouds. His true face was hidden in the chaos, and his sharp gaze swept below.
The Great Daoist Master smiled calmly and bowed to the cloud.
"Greetings, Saint."
Li Changshou muttered, "Great Daoist Master, if you attack now, the golden cicada will definitely die."
The Great Daoist Master's mouth twitched a few times, but he did not reply.
On the other hand, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda sighed in Li Changshou's heart.
"Only now do we understand that you are the one who is the most ruthless in the Ren School… Are you really only 300 years old?"
Report chapter
Chapter 308 First Meeting With The Saint, Changshou Schemes Against The Golden Cicada
In the rear hall of Anshui City, a Water-Fire Taiji Painting appeared out of thin air. It carried the power of water and fire and slowly rotated.
The Great Daoist Master jumped out of it with a cold expression.
When the Water-Fire Taiji Painting dissipated, the Great Daoist Master's sleeve fluttered gently. A handful of ashes floated out and turned into Li Changshou's figure with specks of light.
He still looked like an old immortal. There was still the image of a pagoda on his chest. The Great Daoist Master exhaled and sat back on the round chair. He was silent for a while before sighing.
"This Uncle-Master is a little too…"
Li Changshou held his horsetail whisk and whispered, "Great Daoist Master, after all, this is the Saint…"
"Yes, I know that." The Great Daoist Master nodded slowly and said, "I should have listened to you and cut off the cicada's skin in front of this Uncle-Master. I originally thought that it would not be good to involve the conflict between the Western Sect and the Dao Sect. However, from the looks of it, there is no need to care about the pride of the Western Sect. They don't care about pride."
The Great Daoist Master was gentle and easy-going even when he was angry.
Li Changshou did not know how to persuade him.
That Saint is really… it's hard to explain.
A moment ago, at the ruins of the Great Spirit Explosion, the Second Sect Master of the Western Sect, Daoist Zhunti, whose face was blurry and whose body was covered by the rays of light, appeared. He said that the Golden Cicada was fated with the West and asked the two of them to stop.
At that time, Li Changshou had secretly given the Great Daoist Master a suggestion to add insult to injury. However, the Great Daoist Master had clearly hesitated, causing him to miss the opportunity.
It was not that the Great Daoist Master did not dare to go against the Saint. If necessary, the Great Daoist Master would still go against him.
However, what happened today was Li Changshou's counterattack against Jin Chanzi. There was a reason for it.
If the Great Daoist Master forcefully killed Jin Chanzi, he would be exposed. If the Ren School wanted to destroy the destiny of the Western Sect, they would increase unnecessary karma for the Ren School…
That was actually nothing much.
The Ren School had a total of two and a half Saints. At most, the Grand Pure One would fight with the two Saints of the Western Sect.
It was impossible that they would be afraid. He reckoned that they would be able to defeat the Western Sect…
However, in that case, things would get out of hand. The Primordial World would definitely be in turmoil. The Dao Sect's luck would be affected, and the Great Daoist Master would definitely be pulled back to the Grand Pure One and be grounded for a few hundreds of thousands of years…
That would not be beautiful.
Mostly importantly, the Great Daoist Master saw Li Changshou's performance today and realized that Jin Chanzi… It would be difficult for Jin Chanzi to pose any threat to Ren School in the future.
When Jin Chanzi grew up again, Li Changshou would not stay in the same place. When the time came, he would probably only use his brain and his fingers to deal with him.
Therefore, the Great Daoist Master decided not to kill Jin Chanzi. He only tried to sever the karma.
The Great Daoist Master said, "Uncle-Master Zhun Ti, this Primordial Beast wants to harm the disciples of Ren School. It should be killed by the disciples of Ren School."
The old Daoist priest on the cloud said calmly, "Why? Is my status not enough?"
The Great Daoist Master's smile gradually disappeared. He looked up at the rays of light in the clouds, his figure still standing tall.
The clouds in the sky were like mountains, and the people below were like huge ponds!
The Great Daoist Master said, "If you say that, I won't dare to say anything. However, Uncle-Master, how should we end today's karma?"
The old Daoist priest said, "Since I'm here, karma can be destroyed." "What if the Golden Cicada attacks the people of Ren School again?"
"There is a natural law of fate," the old Daoist priest said leisurely. "Since there is a cause, there will be consequences."
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du squinted slightly.
Li Changshou, who was hiding in the Great Daoist Master's sleeve, sighed.
Is this a Saint?
He said those words casually and did not care about the actual meaning at all. It was purely to tell you— "I will definitely protect this Golden Cicada today. Do whatever you want!"
That only happened with the presence of the Great Daoist Master. If it were Li Changshou alone, he would probably not even have the chance to speak. Daoist Zhun Ti would attack him with the Seven Wonder Tree.
At that moment, the Great Daoist Master could only retreat. If he continued speaking, Daoist Zhun Ti would probably use some pompous words to dismiss him. Li Changshou rubbed the Great Daoist Master's arm and sent a voice transmission. "Great Daoist Master, pardon me, but you can say, 'I wonder what the Western Sect is going to do with the Golden Cicada.' Even if such a Primordial Beast has cleared its negative karma, it should not enter the Saint's eyes."
Since he could not kill Jin Chanzi, he would destroy his opportunity to become a disciple of the Saint and minimize the trouble he would face in the future.
The Great Daoist Master's eyes lit up and he followed his instructions.
Indeed, Saint Zhun Ti had changed his strategy… The old Daoist said, "This Golden Cicada attacked my senior brother's golden body a long time ago, so he owes the Western Sect karma. In the future, we will have a fateful encounter with him and make him offer his Dharma body to the Western Sect. I've already come here personally today. Do you think that I'm not worthy enough for you to let him off on my account?"
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "Uncle-Master, you're being too serious. Since you've made a request, I will not make things difficult for this Golden Cicada today. However, this Golden Cicada is a ferocious Primordial Beast. It has accumulated many bad karma. Aunt-Master, you are a Saint. You actually personally appeared and took it away. I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the Western Sect."
Zhun Ti did not speak for a long time. Then, he said, "This Golden Cicada's ferocious nature is rare. I brought him back to the spiritual mountain to suppress him in the Merit Pool and expiate his soul.
Disciple-Nephew, you worry too much. Leave."
Upon hearing that, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du cupped his hands and did not say anything else. He turned around and walked away, disappearing from the world and returning to the rear hall of the Sea God Temple.
That was a Saint.
There was no need to reason. Once he spoke, even the Great Daoist Master could only retreat temporarily and return home to throw a fit.
In the Sea God Temple, the Exquisite Heaven And Earth Mysterious Yellow Pagoda slowly emerged from Li Changshou's chest and sent a spiritual message to the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou. Li Changshou did not know what kind of voice and tone the spiritual will had transformed into, in the Great Daoist Master's heart.
However, in Li Changshou's heart, it said, "Kill him! Eldest Disciple, what are you afraid of? Zhun Ti is a good-for-nothing. If we really fight, he might not be your match! Can his Seven Wonder Tree be used? I've tried it in the ancient times. That tree is not good at all. It's just bullying quasi-Dao Saints who don't have any treasures and small Connate numinous treasures. Call the Boss in the painting and the others over and fight him head-on. There's no problem. We definitely won't lose!"
The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and said, "I can do whatever I want, but I cannot go overboard. If I were to attack the Saint, I would have embarrassed Teacher. Moreover, the Saint's mystical abilities are unfathomable. He has merged with the Heavenly Dao and is connected to the world. We will not be able to win just by having many treasures."
The little pagoda trembled and immediately retracted the light, as if it was angry. Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Great Daoist Master, I did not think through it properly. I only considered how he would escape and did not consider that his life-saving mystical ability would be like that. If I had hidden some of the paper effigies at the side back then, there would be no further trouble at the end of the spiritual explosion." "This is not your fault," the Great Daoist Master said kindly. "You have already done very well. If I had your cultivation level and gone to do such a thing, I would definitely not be able to do it so properly without leaving traces. However, after this matter, Changshou, you can be at ease. The Western Sect will not dare to attack you directly."
As he spoke, the Great Daoist Master took out a jade token from his sleeve and gently pushed it towards Li Changshou.
"Today, I saw you use the Water Escape technique to almost shake off that golden cicada. Only then did I know that your greatest talent is in this escape technique. Take this. I wanted to let you cultivate in peace. Don't be distracted by these mystical abilities."
Li Changshou held the jade token with both hands and carefully looked at it…
He was so excited that his heart raced and his hands trembled!
From now on, I don't have any escape techniques!
I only have the Cosmic Escape Technique!
The name of the escape technique was very simple. It was the Cosmic Escape. However, according to the theorem of 'the fewer words there are, the bigger the matter', those three ordinary words were definitely extraordinary! "Thank you, Great Daoist Master."
Li Changshou put away the jade token. Naturally, he could not comprehend it immediately.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, "You have finally met the Saint today. Do you have any enlightenment?"
Li Changshou said seriously, "I actually don't have any thoughts. I couldn't see the appearance of a Saint either. I feel a little regretful…
Great Daoist Master, I think we can continue with this matter. We should not let it go."
"What do you want to do? Tell me."
"I want to use the power of the dragon race to spread some news."
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said slowly, "For example… They can say that in the ancient times, there was a ferocious beast known as the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. It is ferocious and ruthless. It has powerful abilities and is proficient in the Universe Technique. If anyone captures this ferocious beast, they cannot kill it directly. The cicada's skin can be used to refine Spirit Pills that would give immortality to those who consumed them, and Golden Immortals who take them can perfect their Dao realm. We can use this to pressure the Western Sect so that the Golden Cicada will not be able to make a comeback."
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's eyes lit up. Then, he looked at Li Changshou in admiration.
The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, which was sulking, trembled slightly. The rays of light appeared again, and the aura of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda kept falling. Two wisps of spiritual will entered Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master's hearts… "Where did this random treasure come from? This scheming fellow is almost catching up to our old master!"
Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master looked at each other and did not dare to reply. He was really frightened.
as r
When the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda left, it was a little reluctant to leave and cursed.
It really wanted to stay by Li Changshou's side and protect Li Changshou when he roamed the world.
Although Li Changshou wanted to nod and agree, he could only thank the senior of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda for protecting him…
Although the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda did not unleash any of its power in the previous fights, it was a guarantee and a sense of security that Li Changshou yearned for!
Moreover, the Great Daoist Master was not beside him. Li Changshou's main body would only cultivate in the mountains. There was nothing fun about it. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda would probably get tired of it soon.
The Great Daoist Master sent Li Changshou back to the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou watched as the Great Daoist Master returned to the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Courts.
In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou postponed his plans and began to reconsider.
The thickness of the "slingshot" was slightly different from what Li Changshou had expected.
He's really thick-skinned…
As expected of someone who could say that the Primordial World is fated with the West.
Li Changshou would not be surprised if such a Saint killed a disciple of Ren School.
Especially since he had met Saint Zhun Ti today, he had to be more careful in the future.
Yes, I will persevere and hide in the mountain for 100,000 years without wavering! Li Changshou checked the anti-detection trinkets on his body and carefully sensed the Dao runes left behind by the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. Then, he carefully sensed a wisp of obscure Dao runes that were similar to that of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.
That was the power of the Taiji Painting, which was a treasure of Ren School that was used to conceal his identity and block out all deductions!
Li Changshou chuckled.
How could a numinous treasure like the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda have such a temperament? I wonder what kind of temperament the Taiji Painting, the Wind-Fire meditation cushion, and other treasures have.
If they are all hot-tempered, it would be extremely lively.
"Saint…"
Li Changshou took a deep breath and took out two copper coins from his sleeve.
Previously, when the Great Daoist Master was in the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou had secretly tried to use his merit to nurture the two copper coins. There were no abnormalities or changes.
At that moment, more than half of the "coating" on the two copper coins had been removed. The coins were bright gold.
Li Changshou placed his hands on the two copper coins and transferred some Heavenly Dao merit into them.
Ding – The two copper coins trembled slightly and let out a crisp sound. A wisp of spiritual will was transmitted to Li Changshou's heart…
However, the difference between the treasures was obvious.
For example, the Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda Pagoda of Heaven and Earth could not only communicate with the wielder of the pagoda, but it could also talk about learning to tease, ahem, to get close to living beings. It knew the orders of the Saint and was as lively as a chatterbox who was not able to speak for millions of years.
The two copper coins that Li Changshou had been looking forward to for a long time could only express their intimacy and joy towards Li Changshou. They tried their best, and only then did Li Changshou realize something. It had the simplest instruction manual.
Li Changshou studied it carefully and frowned.
This treasure is not as mystical as I thought…
The Great Dao that they contained was a "trade-off" of the human Dao.
It meant that any treasure could be sold at a good price and could be bought back with the copper coin.
Due to the fact that 'military affairs can destroy the market', the copper coins could not be used on weapon-like Dharma treasures.
Since it was a transaction, the person who held the copper coins would naturally have to pay the price.
The copper coins were just a kind of currency. They were given value, and what gave them value was the power of merit.
Simply put, if he used the copper coins to obtain numinous treasures, he would have to expend his merit.
The higher the grade of the treasure, the more merit he would have to consume. In fact, the Heavenly Dao allowed negative karma.
That also verified Li Changshou's previous conjecture. Merit and negative karma could be offset, but the two were not as simple as eliminating and negating each other.
Li Changshou could not help but fall into deep thought…
His merit had to be used to condense the Golden Body of Merit. He could not waste it.
From the looks of it, the main purpose of him obtaining the copper coins was to help Master Zhao block a calamity and reduce the karma of Fairy Yun Xiao's tribulation…
"Forget it." Li Changshou shook his head and gently gave the two copper coins some words of encouragement. Then, he put them into a brocade box and placed it into his trump card storage.
Then, Li Changshou took out a piece of cloth and began to plan carefully for the matters regarding Jin Chanzi in the future.
He wanted to hold a public debate so that the Western Saints would not accept Jin Chanzi as their disciple.
If Jin Chanzi was only a Dharma treasure used for obtaining a sutra, he would have more room to maneuver.
Today, the Western Sect had actually lost the battle. Saint Zhun Ti had personally appeared to protect the Golden Cicada. That was embarrassing.
However, he did not expect the Saint to be so thick-skinned that he was not bothered by it at all. That made the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou feel that they did not get much of an advantage…
He had used 72 paper effigies…
The inventory had become less abundant.
Li Changshou scanned the rear mountain of the Little Qiong Peak with his immortal senses. It seemed that he had to get some thousand-year-old spiritual trees for a transplant.
"Huh?"
Li Changshou blinked and realized something. Could it be that… I was the one who spread the rumor that one could live forever after eating the flesh of Tang Seng?
What a subtle participation in historical myths… Hence, Li Changshou felt more confident.
Report chapter
Chapter 309 Collecting the Dragon Clan's Matters, Searching for the Mental Demon at the Mountain Gate
It was rare for Li Changshou to act so swiftly. After setting up his plan for the Golden Cicada, he immediately began to execute it. In the spiritual will dream, Li Changshou reminded Ao Yi carefully for an hour.
The little dragon nodded while thinking. It was unknown if it was because he had read the sutra, but when Ao Yi answered his questions, he would think carefully for a while before speaking That made Li Changshou feel more at ease.
"Brother Sect Master, do you have any other instructions for this matter?"
"There's no need to rush the matter regarding the Golden Cicada," Li Changshou said.
"We just need to plan slowly and let more living beings know about this matter. This Golden Cicada has been injured by the Great Daoist Master previously. It will probably take thousands of years for it to recover."
"Yes." Ao Yi nodded heavily, but he hesitated to speak. His eyes flickered. "Just say it."
"Brother Sect Master." Ao Yi sighed with a heavy heart. He bowed to Li Changshou and asked, "Then, what is the secret of the Immortal Peach Banquet? Would the Jade Emperor attack the dragon race directly…"
Li Changshou put his hands behind his back and sighed. "Let me tell you something. Don't tell anyone. The Heavenly General who injured Golden Cicada a few days ago in the West Ocean was the Jade Emperor. However, he hid his tracks."
"What?"
Ao Yi could not help but be stunned. Li Changshou continued, "Do you know how high the Jade Emperor's cultivation level is? The Jade Emperor's mystical abilities and Dharma powers are probably not inferior to the famous experts of the three sects. He also has the power of the Heavenly Dao. His strength is unfathomable. Don't forget that the Jade Emperor came from the Purple Cloud Palace and cultivated for a long time in front of the Dao Ancestor."
Ao Yi nodded after hearing his Brother Sect Master's words.
Li Changshou continued, "That day, His Majesty discovered that the experts of the West Ocean Dragon Palace who appeared on the surface of the sea had abnormal essence souls. There were about fifty to sixty percent of them who were unusual."
"What!?"
Ao Yi could not help but turn pale with fright. "How could this happen? I'll go look for Father now!"
"The Dragon Kings should have tacitly agreed to this matter," Li Changshou said. "Why are you in a hurry again? Copy the sutra that I gave you three hundred times when we return. Remember to burn the paper and cloth after copying it." Ao Yi was puzzled, but he nodded and agreed. "Brother Sect Master, how can my father and uncles agree to this?" Li Changshou smiled and said, "Firstly, the Dragon Kings are all extraordinary. How could they be so easily schemed against since they could all survive in the ancient times until today?
Secondly, the true foundation of the dragon race is at the eye of the sea and not in the Dragon Palace. Even if the entire West Ocean Dragon Palace is controlled, they can be rebuilt at any time.
Thirdly, the dragon eggs cannot be placed in a single nest. I remember that the dragon race should have such slang. Therefore, it is reasonable for the few Dragon Kings to make such a choice and turn a blind eye to what happened in the West Ocean Dragon Palace." "Well…"
Ao Yi pursed his lips and slightly suspected his life.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "You're still young and tender. Let me test you again. What do you think the Jade Emperor will think when he sees this situation?" Ao Yi hurriedly said, "His Majesty will probably be worried that the Four Seas Dragon Palace will be controlled by someone over time?"
A certain Heavenly Emperor who did not want to reveal his name felt very impressed.
"How can it be so simple?"
Li Changshou sighed and said, "The Jade Emperor is very dissatisfied with the dragon race's idea of wanting everything to go smoothly. The dragon race thinks that as the victims, they can conceal the fact that the West Ocean Dragon Palace had been infiltrated by the Western Sect. After all, the dragon race is the one that had been schemed against. However, how could such a thing be hidden from the Jade Emperor? The Jade Emperor's intelligence and vision are far above mine." A certain Heavenly Emperor who did not want to reveal his name praised him.
Ao Yi immediately understood the entire situation. He looked worried as he paced around Li Changshou anxiously.
"Brother Sect Master, what… What should we do? Father and the rest actually…"
"It's just normal," Li Changshou said. "Since you're so worried, I'll tell you everything honestly today. Ao Yi, the dragon race needs you to step forward now." Ao Yi held his breath and bent forward slightly to listen carefully.
Li Changshou pondered carefully. Although that was a step that he had thought of previously, he had to be honest with Ao Yi and get rid of the worries that he had buried previously. If he and Ao Yi could not work together, it would definitely be difficult for them to succeed in the twelve years before the Immortal Peach Banquet. "Ao Yi, do you know that I was only a Qi Refinement cultivator in the Heaven Immortal realm during the early stages of the Sea God Sect's creation? I did not deliberately establish the Sea God Sect."
Ao Yi did not understand why the Sect Master would bring that up.
However, afterwards, Ao Yi captured the key information- Heaven Immortal realm! When I was sparring with Brother Sect Master in the Immortal Du Sect, was he just teasing me?
Li Changshou's voice was calm as he recounted what happened back then. "At that time, I only had one identity. I was a disciple of Ren School, Li Changshou of the Immortal Du Sect. It was because of a coincidence that the Magihumans of Xiong Village bumped into me when I was comprehending the Great Dao. They worshiped me as the Sea God and set up a temple to worship me. Then, things got out of hand. I'm afraid you won't believe me. When we met at the South Ocean, I went to destroy the Sea God Sect. At that time, I was mainly worried that the Sea God Sect would cause trouble for me and offend the Western Sect. However, because the dragon race had appeared and you had seen through the Sea God's identity, I could only change my train of thought and try to control the Sea God Sect. I never expected that the Sea God Sect would become my opportunity."
Ao Yi listened attentively and could not help but ask, "How is it an opportunity?" "Due to the fact that the Sea God Sect has obtained the help of the dragon race, the influence it has over the people gradually widened. As a result, the Western Sect schemed against me and attracted the Jade Emperor to observe me. This allowed me to have the first contact with the Jade Emperor. Due to the influence of the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Courts, and the dragon race, I was chosen by the Saint as a human Dharma treasure. Ahem, I was chosen as a representative for this matter. The reason I can be recognized by the Great Daoist Master is actually after the rise of the Sea God Sect… Only by walking step by step did the Sea God of today appear." Li Changshou smiled and said, "In the beginning, I was worried every day about the Sea God Sect. I was afraid that I would be targeted by the Western Sect and torn apart by the dragon race. It's really like walking on thin ice."
When Ao Yi heard that, he looked a little awkward. Then, he pursed his lips and frowned. He bowed to Li Changshou. "I've troubled you, Brother!" "This is probably our fate. There's no need to bow."
Li Changshou gently supported Ao Yi. Then, he turned around and looked at the figure standing behind him in the spiritual will dream.
"Ao Yi, take a look."
Ao Yi looked up. Li Changshou waved his sleeve, and the fog around him dissipated. The appearance of the Great Daoist Master was slowly revealed on the large statue. Then, his appearance changed again and returned to Li Changshou's appearance. Li Changshou smiled and said, "At that time, I could only rely on myself. I could only find a balance between the Western Sect, the dragon race, and the Heavenly Courts. You have asked me many times before why the human race can be strong. It's probably because… We are braver and more courageous."
"Brother!"
Ao Yi was filled with guilt. He sighed and said, "I didn't know about all these. I placed all the blame on you, Brother. I even…" "Ao Yi, I'm telling you all of this today for no other reason than to let you know that the matter regarding the dragon race's entry to Heaven is not my plan, nor is it the Jade Emperor's plan. That's the way it is. It's just fade and destiny." "Destiny…"
Ao Yi lowered his head and pondered. The young man's face was more troubled than usual.
Li Changshou was about to continue when Ao Yi suddenly took two steps back. He lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down.
"What are you doing?"
Li Changshou supported him while Ao Yi bowed deeply to him.
"I was ignorant and fearless previously. I did not know that Brother Sect Master was in a difficult situation. Please forgive me! Now, the dragon race is already on the cliff. One wrong step and we will be crushed. Sect Master, please save my dragon race and make my dragon race serve the Heavenly Courts! Today, I swear that I will entrust my life to you, Sect Master!"
Li Changshou did not expect Ao Yi to figure out the key point so quickly. He did not expect Ao Yi to have such a huge reaction. However, at that point, Li Changshou took the opportunity to move forward and asked, "Even if you will get misunderstood and scolded by your clansmen?" "What's there to fear about?" "Get up," Li Changshou said. "I'll tell you the plan for the Immortal Peach Banquet in detail. Ao Yi, you have to remember. The purpose of us doing all of this is to make the four Sea Dragon Kings take the initiative to ask for orders and be loyal to the Heavenly Courts before the Jade Emperor gives his decree during the Immortal Peach Banquet. That way, the dragon race will have more luck!"
Ao Yi jumped up, his eyes filled with determination.
Li Changshou had already started to explain the next steps of the operation…
"There are only twelve years. There are not many things that we can do. Therefore, we cannot waste a single day."
The spiritual communication lasted for more than thirty hours this time, giving Li Changshou a headache.
He had already done all the hard work that he could. He could be considered to have done enough to deserve the treasures of the dragon race which he did not waste.
There were definitely effects. However, he could not control what he could do in the end. It was mainly the Dragon Kings' own choice.
The Jade Emperor said that he had already selected the Heavenly Courts' naval troops.
Now, he just had to wait for this batch of naval troops to arrive and officially begin the great plan to reel in the dragons.
In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou kept the two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills that he had just obtained.
Ling'e's one shall be placed with her.
Li Changshou scanned Ling'e's straw hut beside the lake with his immortal senses. He sensed the Dao runes left behind by the Great Daoist Master and knew that the Great Daoist Master had given Ling'e benefits… Can this girl really ascend to greater heights this time? Yes, I will reward her by letting her copy more sutras later to prevent her strength from suddenly increasing and her Dao heart from becoming unstable. Since she has entered the Dao with the Steadiness Sutra, it is not wrong to write more…
"I shall go and find some spiritual trees." Li Changshou muttered to himself, closed his eyes, and focused. He activated the paper effigy outside the mountain gate, which was waiting for orders, and began the "Recovery of Greenery of Little Qiong Peak". The Primordial World was rich in spiritual energy. The East Continent was vast and sparsely populated. It was not difficult to find some aged spiritual trees that had yet to become spirits.
The difficult part was that the spiritual tree sap needed for the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had to be filled with the aura of living beings. There were also other requirements…
Li Changshou searched carefully for half a day, but he only found more than ten old trees. He carefully moved them out of their original habitat and secretly transported them back to Little Qiong Peak. In order to make them more comfortable, Li Changshou's main body appeared and performed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the old trees. It was just that there was a lack of audience. It was more or less deserted.
As soon as he settled the old spiritual trees, Li Changshou's immortal senses captured the abnormality in the chess room. Xiong Lingli, Jiang Lin'er, and Jiu Jiu woke up together. The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Lin'er and Jiu Jiu stood up at the same time. Li Changshou's attention was instantly attracted by Aunt-Master Jiu… Yes, this is a force that will attract everyone. I didn't do it voluntarily. Jiang Lin'er hurriedly said, "Take care of Yushi. I'll go back to seclusion first!" "What's going on? How can you suddenly gain enlightenment while playing cards?!" Jiu Jiu shouted anxiously and rushed to the second floor. Subconsciously, she had no intention of returning to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to cultivate.
"Lingli, tell Yushi that I'll be in seclusion for about three to five months! Let her cultivate in peace. Don't force her to break through. Wait for me to come out of seclusion and check her cultivation results!"
"Oh, okay!" Xiong Lingli nodded and was stunned. Li Changshou could not help but laugh when he saw that. He arranged for a paper effigy to go over. He deliberately made the paper effigy transform into an old woman and sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli, asking her to go into seclusion for a period of time. The old woman was in charge of taking care of Jiu Yushi…
Is the Great Daoist Master giving out benefits in his backyard? Why is my master still the same? Why is he meditating in the straw hut and not showing any signs of breaking through? Could it be that the Great Daoist Master had misunderstood and treated the women on the mountain as him…
Forget it.
Li Changshou was just about to retract his immortal senses that were probing Qi Yuan when he sensed something strange.
There was something wrong with his master's condition.
Li Changshou could not help but perk up. His immortal senses enveloped his old master as he carefully checked. Then, he put on a serious expression and rushed to the straw hut by the
lake.
Master must have been possessed. It was very likely that his master had developed a demonic-resistance because of Jiu Yushi's matter and had triggered his mental demons! Turbid Immortals were prone to such things. Li Changshou had been prepared for this. He had read many ancient books and found many ways to help people remove their mental demons. Li Changshou arrived in front of the straw hut, but he did not disturb his master. Instead, he merged with the array formation barrier and quietly appeared behind his master. He raised his hand and pointed at Qi Yuan's neck.
"Master, I'll help you."
Li Changshou raised sword fingers with both hands and took a step forward. His fingers quickly pointed around Qi Yuan and injected wisps of immortal light into him. After a while, Qi Yuan coughed and spat out a mouthful of black gas. Li Changshou waved his sleeve and enveloped the black aura with immortal power. It formed a ball and was about to be purified when he exclaimed softly.
Master… does not have a mental demon?
The black aura condensed into a black shadow and let out a soundless roar, as if it was provoking Li Changshou.
Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon?
The so-called Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon was not a living being but an existence that was attached to the Great Dao. It was similar to resentment, obsession, and negative karma.
No one could explain the origin of that thing. However, it was clear that it was related to the mental demons of the Qi Refinement cultivators.
If a Qi Refinement cultivator's Dao heart had a demonic-resistance which was not removed in time, it would easily grow into a mental demon, and the mental demon would easily attract such a Dao-Defying Heavenly Demon, causing the Qi Refinement cultivators to be trapped both inside and outside.
Some immortals would die if they closed their eyes. Half of it was because of that difficulty.
Cultivation was dangerous.
The reason that his master had fallen for it was probably because he did not have a good foundation in the Turbid Immortal Dao and his Dao heart was easier to break through. That was why he had attracted that… Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon from someone else… Should I report this matter to the Sect Leader?
Find out who attracted the Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that if this matter was exposed, it would be a huge blow to his master's pride.
Master is very prideful…
"Forget it. I'll just spend some effort." Li Changshou walked forward first and whispered to his master, who was still in a meditative state, "Master, please cultivate in peace. Everything is fine." Then, Li Changshou left the straw hut with the black aura and pinched his fingers to deduce. It was not difficult for Li Changshou to deduce such a small matter.
Soon, he found the path that the Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon had taken to the Little Qiong Peak. His immortal senses followed the path and finally locked onto the mountainside of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
"Isn't that…"
Li Changshou did not hesitate and quickly disappeared from the Little Qiong Peak.
Now, his main body could use the Earth Escape technique to silently break the barrier set up by the Heaven Immortal realm cultivators. He could also ignore most medium-sized and small-scale array formations.
As he walked through the mountains on the ground, Li Changshou found the source of the Heaven-Defying Demon.
It was a Cave Abode that Li Changshou had never been to before. There was a bed, a few wardrobes, and a flat stone wall. There were a few paintings by Li Changshou…
On the meditation cushion in the middle of the Cave Abode, the female immortal, who was dressed in a training attire, closed her eyes tightly. Her slender body trembled from time to time.
Her long hair was let down, and her beautiful face was covered in sweat. She bit her lips gently, as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
She was Youqin Xuanya. Li Changshou shook his head slightly. Three paper effigies flew out of his sleeve, each holding… wooden fish, clapper, and Soul-Suppressing Bell…
Report chapter
Chapter 310 Only… Can You Defeat the Inner Demons!
The wooden fish sounded and the bell rang.
The three paper effigies transformed into a young girl, an old woman, and a middle-aged woman, respectively. They sat cross-legged around Youqin Xuanya, raised their Dharma artifacts, and chanted the 'Grand Pure One's Heart-Calming Incantation' in unison.
Under the activation of the immortal power that was of the Golden Immortal, the incantation condensed into small green words that revolved around Youqin Xuanya.
However, in the blink of an eye, the pain on Youqin Xuanya's face had mostly disappeared. Her body was no longer trembling. That would not treat the cause of the problem.
Li Changshou pointed at the door of her Cave Abode and used the barrier to seal it before walking forward.
He took out a meditation cushion from his sleeve and sat five steps behind Youqin Xuanya. He used a simple incantation technique and carefully probed Youqin Xuanya's essence soul.
Upon doing so, Li Changshou realized… Her toxic mind was in a mess. Her mental demons had grown to a very serious state.
Li Changshou could not help but feel puzzled.
Back then, his evaluation of Youqin Xuanya was that she had a flawless Dao heart and would never have any mental demons in her life. However, Youqin Xuanya had proved him wrong.
Indeed…
one can never be too sure about something and jump to conclusions.
I should include this in the next version of the Steadiness Sutra in the future. It also serves as a warning
How should I deal with other people's mental demons?
Li Changshou made seven to eight plans in a row. Those were originally prepared for his master and junior sister. He did not expect to use them on his toxic junior sister…
Moreover, his cultivation level was much higher than Youqin Xuanya's. It was a piece of cake for him to do that. There was no risk at all.
However… I should stabilize myself first. After all, it's a mental demon. I have to respect him.
There was a saying in the Primordial World:
After the Demon Ancestor, Rahula, died, his demonic thoughts did not die. Therefore, he condensed a Great Dao Demonic Resistance and prevented the Qi Refinement cultivators from cultivating.
Therefore, Li Changshou did not dare to be careless in the face of Youqin Xuanya's mental demons.
Li Changshou raised his hand and tapped seven times on his chest, using the Seven-Star Demon-Expelling Array to protect his essence soul.
Then, he used his merit to put on underwear, long-sleeved shirts, and boots for his essence soul. He also put on a Christmas hat, a pair of protective glasses, and a mask. He was fully equipped.
Li Changshou still felt that that was not enough. His essence soul held onto the Sea God's Divine Power Treasure, and a wisp of Heavenly Dao power was added to his body. His essence soul shone with a brilliant golden light!
Set off!
Hence, he released a wisp of his essence soul, which was about one-tenth of the power of his essence soul. He carefully entered Youqin Xuanya's unguarded sea of consciousness and headed towards her inner demon.
In a daze, the clouds and fog rose.
Li Changshou saw a dark world.
That was the manifestation of Youqin Xuanya's mind. It was similar to a dream. Youqin Xuanya's Dao heart was trapped by her mental demons.
The sounds of killing and shouting entered his ears with the wind. The world was filled with black smoke as groups of soldiers fought everywhere. There were immortals fighting in the sky, while mortal soldiers were fighting on the ground. The corpses were piled up like mountains and oozing rivers of blood. Both parties seemed to have fallen into a frenzy. They did not retreat because of the large number of casualties…
Is this her inner demon? That doesn't seem right.
Li Changshou frowned as he looked at the place. Everything looked lifelike, but there was no aura of a demonic resistance. After some calculations, he realized that those images were just a scene in Youqin Xuanya's memories.
Youqin Xuanya's Dao heart was trapped there.
Was it because of the memories regarding the war in the mortal world that had triggered the mental demons?
Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He was just an innocent bystander. He wandered around the battlefield and searched for Youqin Xuanya.
Not long after, Li Changshou discovered Youqin Xuanya's spiritual will in a corner of the battlefield.
She stood at the edge of a cliff. Her icy-blue dress was dyed red with blood. Behind her, there were two figures leaning against each other. In front of her, there were blurry shadows.
That was naturally the scene that Youqin Xuanya had imagined, and the scene… was very tragic. Aren't the two people behind Youqin Xuanya, me and Ling'e?
Naturally, they were also the "Senior Brother Changshou" and "Junior Sister Ling'e" that Youqin Xuanya had imagined.
Junior Sister Ling'e is fine. Her dress is neat and tidy, but there are faint bloodstains at the corners of her mouth. There are thousands of wounds on "Senior Brother Changshou's" body!
No, to be precise, the entire "Senior Brother Changshou" is pieced together from wounds. He barely has a human form and is almost dead…
What the hell?
Can't you just hope for me to be in a better state?
Li Changshou was speechless. He almost turned around and left.
At the edge of the cliff, the black shadows kept attacking
Youqin Xuanya, who was covered in wounds, raised her sword fingers and continuously activated more than ten flying swords that barely repelled the black shadows' attack.
At that moment, Youqin Xuanya did not have much immortal power left. She was on the verge of collapsing.
The danger of the mental demons was that Youqin Xuanya did not know that everything was fake.
If her mental projection in this place collapsed, or if she was killed by the mental demon, her mind would be imprisoned there forever.
A lighter consequence would be cultivation deviation, while a terrible consequence would result in her perish!
Among the black shadows, Li Changshou saw Yuan Qing, the "kind man" who had died in the hands of Youqin Xuanya. He saw the fierce Elder Wan Linyun, the old man who guarded the sect, and so on.
The so-called mental demons were nothing more than an obsession in one's heart. If he wanted to save Youqin Xuanya, Li Changshou only needed to get rid of the demonic-resistance and give her a hand to save her.
However, doing so would make her waste this opportunity Although the mental demons were dangerous, if he defeated them, her Dao heart would become stronger and her Dao realm would improve.
Li Changshou looked at "Senior Brother Changshou", who was lying in the arms of "Junior Sister Ling'e" and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Tsk, this toxic girl has such a strong desire to protect.
How can I help her obtain this opportunity?
At that moment, Li Changshou had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood how to guide her.
That wisp of consciousness quietly entered "Senior Brother Changshou's" obsession.
The lips of the deformed "Senior Brother Changshou" trembled slightly. The extremely weak and intermittent voice transmission entered Youqin Xuanya's ears. "Charge to the 4th… Ahem, I, I'll retreat to the 6th…
"Junior Sister Youqin… a ferocious beast under the cliff has been alarmed. Later, when I tell you to jump… You'll bring Ling'e and me behind and jump backwards…"
It could be said that he had gotten immersed in acting out the scene in an instant and his ability to come up with lines was fully displayed!
Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and nodded secretly. In the intense battle with the inner demon, a wave of fierce attacks suddenly erupted and forced the inner demon in front of her to retreat.
Suddenly, the cliff began to tremble. Li Changshou turned to look at the bottom of the cliff, and he could not help but have his vision turn black.
A Qilin's head, which was thousands of feet wide, was rushing over from below. Below the cliff, there was a black, poisonous pool!
Youqin Xuanya had subconsciously imagined that situation. The Qilin was the same! Have I been poisoned?
Why did I make things difficult for myself?
Li Changshou felt that if he did not come today, Youqin Xuanya would really use her imagination to kill herself!
Fortunately, Li Changshou quickly found a way out and sent it to Youqin Xuanya. Youqin Xuanya turned around and hugged "Senior Brother Changshou" and "Junior Sister Ling'e". At the crucial moment, she flew towards the sky…
Below, the huge Black Qilin swallowed the cliff. Countless black shadows and the Qilin dissipated at the same time.
That's it?
Li Changshou wanted it to be that simple too, but it was obvious that there was a long story behind it.
He watched patiently and realized that the mental demon drama led by Youqin Xuanya was getting more and more exciting.
After breaking free from the cliff, Youqin Xuanya brought "Senior Brother Changshou" and "Junior Sister Ling'e" to a large mortal city. That was the capital of the Youqin Kingdom.
They welcomed the people who were celebrating, singing and dancing, the dukes and ministers who were scheming against each other but had blurry faces, and the king who was sitting on the platform and surrounded by a few enchanting beauties…
That should be Youqin Xuanya's childhood memories.
Not long after, the scene changed. "Senior Brother Changshou" and "Junior Sister Ling'e" got married in the city and held a lively wedding banquet. Before and after the wedding banquet, Youqin Xuanya had been smiling and giving her blessings. She then watched as "Senior Brother Changshou" and "Junior Sister Ling'e" entered the warm pavilion with the word 'joy' on it…
Li Changshou was almost touched by Youqin Xuanya when he saw that.
In Toxic Junior Sister's subconsciousness, she does not have the intention to own me by force. This is…
The mumbling in Li Changshou's heart had yet to end when the plot suddenly changed. It could be said that the situation had changed!
"Senior Brother Changshou" suddenly pushed open the door of the warm room and ran to Youqin Xuanya. He made a firm vow to become her Dao companion.
"Junior Sister Ling'e" appeared by the window with a relieved smile. She nodded slightly at Youqin Xuanya, her eyes filled with blessings. Hence, amidst the surrounding applause, Youqin Xuanya and "Senior Brother Changshou" became Dao companions. They left the country and lived happily together. Every day, they would fish, roast fish, and row boats in the rivers, lakes, and seas. They rode the clouds in the sky.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
At that moment, Li Changshou finally understood that Youqin Xuanya's biggest mental demon was him, Li Changshou.
How should he save her?
If other immortals were to come here, they would probably only be able to forcefully pull her away from such a magical place. However, it was Li Changshou… Let's take a look at the happy life that Youqin Xuanya had imagined with Senior Brother Changshou.
Every day, they would repeat the monotonous routine of traveling and cultivating together. The two of them did not have any physical contact at all. They were mostly more than a foot apart. Their interaction was pure and tasteful.
Li Changshou did not delay any further. After all, there were still many important matters waiting for him to handle outside. He observed everything and immediately began to tackle the problem.
The method was very simple. He once again focused his attention on "Senior Brother Changshou ". As he accompanied Youqin Xuanya on a scenic tour, he suddenly reached out and hugged Youqin Xuanya. His movements were very skillful, and he extended his "Claws of Anlu Mountain" at Youqin Xuanya… "Junior Sister, there's no one here and we like each other. Why don't we just go through the traditional custom?"
Youqin Xuanya was stunned. Then, she broke free and jumped dozens of feet away. She frowned and looked at "Senior Brother Changshou".
"Senior Brother… what traditional custom?"
Li Changshou smiled evilly. He raised his hand and pulled open the collar of his long robe, exuding an evil aura.
"Junior Sister, hold your tongue. Let me do it." Youqin Xuanya's face turned red, and a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. Li Changshou took the opportunity to make the three paper effigies speed up their recitation of the Heart-Calming Curse. In the mental demon realm, he tried his best to perform!
"No, you're not Senior Brother Changshou!"
Youqin Xuanya suddenly regained her senses. She struggled free from Li Changshou's hands and jumped into the air. She was surrounded by immortal light and emitted rays of golden light!
She shouted firmly, "Senior Brother Changshou is so polite and gentle. He would never do such a rude thing to me! Who are you?"
"Hahahaha!"
"Senior Brother Changshou" laughed loudly. His body began to expand and turned into a ball of sinister black Qi, revealing the main body of the mental demon.
At that point, Li Changshou managed to extricate himself from "Senior Brother Changshou" in time. However, he was still worried and continued to observe.
Youqin Xuanya looked determined and attacked the mental demon decisively. The two of them fought a huge battle. In the end, evil could not triumph over righteousness… When Youqin Xuanya cut off the head of the mental demon, the entire illusion collapsed.
A moment later, in the Cave Abode, Yougin Xuanya slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful face was flushed red. She was the only one in the Cave Abode.
It was as if she had just gone through a dream. At that moment, she was still blushing because of the happenings in the dream. Her heart was in a mess, and she raised her hand to grab her collar.
"Senior Brother Changshou would not…"
Crack!
She suddenly slapped herself hard and chided softly,
"Youqin Xuanya, why are you so weak? Why do you still have the thought of making Junior Sister Ling'e give in to you!?!" Li Changshou, who was hiding in the mountain wall, was amused when he heard that. Shaking his head, Li Changshou used Earth Escape and left the Heaven-Breaking Peak quietly. He pretended that he had never been there.
This junior sister… has really lived up to her reputation of being toxic.
To summarize, what had defeated her mental demons was not her strong willpower or unyielding willpower, but… the pure shyness of a young girl.
However…
"That's it?"
Li Changshou cursed in his heart and secretly returned to the Pill Chamber. He hid his main body according to the sixth old rule and began to wait quietly.
Li Changshou was waiting for General Dongmu to go to the Sea God's Residence in the Heavenly Courts and for the Heavenly Soldiers to take their positions.
He had only spent four hours at Youqin Xuanya's place. In the Mental Demon realm, time flowed like a dream.
His immortal senses captured Youqin Xuanya talking to herself in her Cave Abode for a while before she entered seclusion again. I should be fine this time, right?
After thinking about it, Li Changshou was still worried. He wrapped a wisp of his immortal senses around her wrist.
That was all he could do.
His immortal senses scanned the sect. The Immortal Du Sect was bustling with activity. Tribulation Transcendences happened occasionally.
They had already decided which disciples of this batch would stay and which ones would be made to leave.
In a few months, the Immortal Du Sect would send a batch of "elites" to the trichiliocosm and the five continents of the Primordial World.
The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect, who had succeeded in learning and were going out to continue cultivating, would spread the news of the opening ceremony of the Immortal Du Sect to the people in the places that they could go to. As a result, more immortal seedlings would be attracted to the Immortal Du Sect.
That was actually the way most immortal sects accepted disciples. There was no choice. The resources in the immortal sect were limited. It was impossible for them to accept disciples endlessly.
If there were a thousand disciples in the same batch, there would only be a small group of disciples that were the most outstanding. They could choose to stay on the mountain or go out to train according to their wishes. The other disciples could only leave the mountain and spread the Dao heritage…
Li Changshou waited for another four days before General Dongmu rode a cloud towards the Sea God Residence. However, he had already deployed 100,000 Heavenly naval troops and was waiting for Li Changshou to take over.
Although 100,000 was not a big number, they were directly controlled by Li Changshou and its significance was extraordinary. When Li Changshou arrived at the Heavenly River with General Dongmu, he saw the handsome young man standing at the edge of the Heavenly River. He could not help but smile.
General Dongmu smiled and said, "Sea God, look. That's the deputy commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang. I heard from the Heavenly Courts that Bian Zhuang has a background in Ren School. It's most suitable for you to command him."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Look, this is the power of rumors.

Chapter 311 Heavenly Emperor's Demon-Slaying Sword, The River Splits the Gods!
When Bian Zhuang changed into the brand-new silver armor and stood by the calm but vast riverside, waiting for the Sea God and General Dongmu to inspect it, he… had extremely complicated emotions.
Back then, he, Bian Zhuang, had gone to the Heavenly Courts for the sake of that fairy.
Although he still did not know her name and had already given up on her, he could not go against his rationale.
However, in such an environment, the Heavenly Courts had used merit and authority to make Bian Zhuang… have the ambition to advance and become career-minded!
How long had it been since he, Bian Zhuang, had become the deputy commander of the Heavenly River Navy!?!
It had only been a short while, but the amount of merit he had accumulated was already several times more than what he had accumulated over the years of running the World Edge Pavilion!
Of course, there were not many opportunities to accumulate merit by running such an outlet for 'impromptu Love Tribulations'.
Now, in the Heavenly Courts, Bian Zhuang would address the Heavenly Generals as brothers and when he encountered Heavenly Soldiers while walking around the area where he was free to move about, he would be addressed as 'General' or 'Marshal'.
The word 'Marshal' was a thousand times more comfortable to his years than being called 'Young Master' a hundred times!
More importantly, when he occasionally passed by groups of fairies, they would mostly cast curious and gazes of admiration at him. They did not dislike him or feel disgusted with him.
Those were only the benefits that he could see. He could not count the other benefits!
The most obvious example was that it was easier to increase his cultivation level. The bottleneck seemed to have disappeared…
He, Bian Zhuang, was now sincerely determined to become an outstanding general in the Heavenly Courts!
Therefore, when Bian Zhuang received the transfer order from the Hall of Enlightenment, he was so excited that his Dao heart almost suffered from an acute myocardial infarction!
However, when he saw the last sentence of the decree— "Lead the Heavenly Soldiers to provide the Amazing Flawless Sea God of The Four Seas with temperance", Bian Zhuang's vision darkened. He almost escaped from the Heavenly Courts overnight!
Why?
What he was most afraid of now was the Sea God!
Bian Zhuang was not a fool, other than in the aspect of romance.
How could he not understand that the reason he could receive so many rewards from the Heavenly Courts was that he had accidentally said something wrong after drinking? He had bragged that he had obtained the recognition of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and the Sea God of Ren School.
Fortunately, an extraordinary existence like the Great Daoist Master did not care about that small matter.
The Sea God was rather busy and did not bother about such a small matter.
But now…
Bian Zhuang was no longer an ignorant bean farmer. He completely understood how powerful the Sea God was in the Heavenly Courts.
It was said that General Dongmu had personally said that the Sea God was now in charge of more than 80% of the important matters in the Heavenly Courts. He was the most trusted servant of the Jade Emperor, and he was the only important minister of the Heavenly Courts who had the authority to mobilize troops, other than General Dongmu!
Of course, the strongest supporter of the Sea God was naturally the third elder of Ren School.
What about him, Bian Zhuang?
His family just had some assets. It was nothing in the Heavenly Courts.
With the help of the boasting that he had done and the harrow of the Tushita Palace that he had, he became the popular Heavenly General of the Heavenly Courts.
However, those were all just a frivolous facade. As long as the Sea God spoke, he would immediately reveal his true form…
In fact, he would be thrown to the ground in the next moment!
"I'm going to die!"
What should I do?
Bian Zhuang kept hesitating. He wanted to leave, but he could not bear to part with his current wealth.
In the end, Bian Zhuang decided to pay a visit to the Sea God in advance. No matter what price he had to pay, he had to ask the Sea God not to expose his bragging. However, just as Bian Zhuang was about to leave, a group of Heavenly Soldiers came to urge him to immediately go to the Heavenly River to restrain the troops.
How long had it been?
He had just received the order from the Hall of Enlightenment yesterday, and he was already going to take on the role today!
At that time, Bian Zhuang's legs went weak and he almost collapsed in his own courtyard.
The Heavenly Soldiers immediately helped him up. Without another word, they carried him to the place and placed him in the position of Deputy Commander.
Looking at the ingratiating smiles on the faces of the Heavenly Soldiers, Bian Zhuang really wanted to send them to the World Edge Pavilion's Ladies' Court, to serve the female immortals who liked to torture others!
What should he do?
What else could he do?
Bian Zhuang was in a mess. His immortal senses captured the figures of General Dongmu and the Sea God arriving on a cloud.
At that moment, the scene playing in Bian Zhuang's left eye was that of him drinking with the Heavenly Generals and being addressed as "Brother Marshal" by the fairies. In the scene in his right eye, he was pinned to the ground by a few Heavenly Soldiers and thrown into the Heavenly Punishment Pool. He was struck by lightning and turned into ashes. The eyes of the fairies were filled with contempt…
He could even imagine what the fairies were talking about!
"Eh, he forged the orders of the Ren School to cheat and duper everyone. He even received so many rewards from the Heavenly Courts. He's really shameless." "Scum! Shameless!"
"I thought he would be the future Marshal."
No…
All of this cannot leave me. I, Bian Zhuang, must grasp my destiny!
"Sea God!"
The veins on Bian Zhuang's neck bulged. His voice was hoarse as he roared and shouted from his essence soul.
"The Sea God is here! It's the Sea God! Lord Sea God!"
Behind Bian Zhuang…
The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers were lined up in three rows, one in the front, one in the middle, and one in the back. At that moment, all of them looked at Bian Zhuang, puzzled.
However, Bian Zhuang did not care anymore. With tears in his eyes, he rode the white cloud towards General Dongmu and Li Changshou.
A few hundred kilometers away, Bian Zhuang shouted, "Sea God! I, Bian Zhuang, am your deputy commander!"
General Dongmu was dumbfounded and dismayed. He looked at Li Changshou doubtfully and whispered, "Should I find another deputy commander? This one doesn't seem… normal."
"It's fine." Li Changshou squinted and smiled. His immortal senses captured Bian Zhuang's expression. When he heard Bian Zhuang's voice that was filled with immortal power, he understood why Bian Zhuang was like that.
Li Changshou was puzzled… What happened to this fellow's pride when he was in front of the Dragon Palace?
However, Li Changshou did not want to make things difficult for his future "Second Senior Brother".
Especially when he saw how handsome Bian Zhuang was now, he thought about the image of his future Second Senior Brother…
Yes, Li Changshou felt emotional.
Bian Zhuang hurriedly flew to Li Changshou. It was unknown if he was too excited, but he bent his legs and prostrated himself on the cloud. He lay on the cloud and flew thousands of feet away.
Crack!
Bian Zhuang buried his head in the clouds and pressed his palms together. He shouted, "I, Bian Zhuang, am willing to pursue the fairy for the Sea God. No, I'm willing to do anything for the Sea God! I will give my all!"
General Dongmu frowned and looked at Li Changshou. He asked seriously, "Is he really fine?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "He's still young. He can be of great use after some training."
Bian Zhuang, who was lying in the clouds, could not help but be stunned. He raised his head slightly and secretly looked at the two powerful big shots of the Heavenly Courts in front of him. He frantically listened to the Sea God's words…
What did that mean?
Is the Sea God really optimistic about me?
Is there something special about me that I didn't notice, which attracted the attention of the Sea God?
Bian Zhuang was still in a daze when Li Changshou urged, "It's cold on the clouds, Commander Bian, quickly get up. Commander Bian, please rush back first. Let the high-ranking generals come out. I have plans later."
Bian Zhuang trembled and immediately jumped up. His eyes were blank, and so was his heart.
What is going on?
At that moment, Li Changshou smiled and said, "Commander Bian, you have to keep the harrow that the Great Daoist Master gave you. Don't damage it." "Hey, hey!" Bian Zhuang's lips trembled. Then, he snapped out of his daze and shouted, "Thank you, Sea God, for your orders." Then, he hugged the Nine-Toothed Harrow and turned around to rush towards the Heavenly River. He hurriedly shouted…
"General Dongmu, let's go over."
Li Changshou invited him with a smile. He and General Dongmu enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the Heavenly River. As they chatted and laughed, they headed towards the place where the Heavenly Soldiers were gathered.
Li Changshou suddenly recalled that his Second Senior Brother seemed to have a chain of immortal clubs called the World Edge Pavilion.
That was quite useful.
After General Dongmu handed over the Tiger Tally, the 100,000 Heavenly River Soldiers bowed to Li Changshou. Li Changshou officially took over the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers.
Without delay, Li Changshou immediately summoned 300 Heavenly Generals of various sizes.
The first thing Li Changshou did was to promote the other two deputy commanders and let them and Bian Zhuang take charge of the Heavenly River Water Army.
Bian Zhuang did not have any complaints about that. He even felt that the Sea God knew that his abilities were limited and had made some "considerate arrangements". Bian Zhuang went from feeling great sorrow to great joy.
In just one day, Bian Zhuang had experienced the ups and downs of life.
When Li Changshou dismissed the Heavenly Generals and only left the three deputy commanders to discuss the matter, Bian Zhuang was the first to step forward. He held the allowance that he had saved for many years — two storage Dharma treasures that looked like rings.
"Sea God, this is a gift from me!"
The two Heavenly Generals looked at each other and quickly touched their own pockets. "Rascal!"
Li Changshou suddenly shouted, exuding a shocking aura and dominance.
Bian Zhuang's legs trembled as he hurriedly knelt on one knee.
Li Changshou raised his horsetail whisk and shouted,
"Those on the left and right! Pull Deputy Commander Bian Zhuang down and use the Heavenly Thunder Whip to whip him thirty-six times!
How dare you bribe me so brazenly? If you continue to be so arrogant, you will be in trouble!"
Bian Zhuang opened his mouth. Before he could speak, a few Heavenly Soldiers rushed over and carried him to the side.
Not long after, lightning flashed by the riverside, and Bian Zhuang's screams echoed.
The other two deputy commanders were also a little worried. Fortunately, Li Changshou did not flare up again and restored his amiable expression.
After Bian Zhuang was punished and returned, Li Changshou gave him a healing pill. After Bian Zhuang consumed it, he began to discuss important matters with the three of them.
Li Changshou naturally would not use the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers to attack the Four Seas' rebel army.
He made arrangements for three matters.
Firstly, he would choose the place where the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers were trained in the South Ocean and East Ocean. He would train at least 20 times a month in front of the dragon race. The two deputy commanders would be in charge of that.
Secondly, he would choose a group of clever Heavenly Generals and let Bian Zhuang bring them to the South Ocean, North Ocean, and East Ocean Dragon Palaces to seek financial help. He would also let Bian Zhuang appear and talk about how good the Heavenly Courts were.
Li Changshou would arrange for a few Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect to be in charge of guiding Bian Zhuang.
However, at the same time, Li Changshou had also given Bian Zhuang a strict order. He could eat and drink with the dragon race, but he could not touch the sea maidens or the female dragons. He could ruin the dignity of the Heavenly Courts.
"Otherwise, hmph!"
"I will definitely not dare. Otherwise, I will be at your mercy!"
Li Changshou said calmly, "Let me say this first. If you really commit such a crime, I will strip you of your Deity Position and make you throw yourself into the Heaven Punishing Well to become a mortal. You will turn into a state where all women are afraid of you!"
Bian Zhuang's legs trembled uncontrollably. He hurriedly said that he did not dare.
During his days in the Heavenly Courts, he had actually figured it out…
He did not like a specific woman. He only liked women for their beauty. After making these arrangements, Li Changshou took out a book called "The Military Training Plan" and asked the three deputy commanders to study it carefully. In half a month, he would begin the first military drill of the four seas.
The three deputy commanders cupped their fists and agreed. They respectfully sent Li Changshou away from the Heavenly River.
As soon as Li Changshou left, the other two deputy commanders cupped their hands at the same time. One of them smiled and said, "Brother Bian, I'm an impatient person. If I ever offend you in the future, please forgive me."
Bian Zhuang was stunned at first. Then, he endured the pain in his back and straightened it. He smiled and replied, "Sure, sure."
The crisis had temporarily passed. At that moment, Bian Zhuang understood that he…
He had already become the Sea God's person!
To put it nicely, he was a trusted aide!
This happiness came too quickly, and he was caught off guard. He was eager to send some local specialties from his hometown to the Sea God.
After leaving the Heavenly River, Li Changshou rode a cloud and rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Letting the soldiers of the Heavenly River descend to the sea to train was just a part of his plan.
I have to report the matter to the Jade Emperor in advance and borrow the power of the Heavenly Courts.
When he arrived at the Lingxiao Hall, the Heavenly Soldiers guarding the door did not dare to stop him. The Heavenly Generals in front of the hall hurriedly bowed to him. Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed in front of the hall. He carried his horsetail whisk and white robe into the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor put down the scroll in his hand and smiled.
"Changgeng, did you come up with another brilliant plan?"
Li Changshou bowed first before explaining some of his plans in detail.
When the Jade Emperor heard that…
"Your Majesty, you have already given your decree. The Immortal Peach Banquet will determine the survival of the dragon race. I will use this as a pretext to take in the dragon. I feel that there is still a possibility of completing the best plan. If the dragon race takes the initiative to submit, the power of the Heavenly Courts will be maximized."
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Changgeng, if you feel that time is running out, we can postpone the Immortal Peach Banquet."
"Your Majesty, you can't do that!"
Li Changshou said seriously, "Your Majesty, it's a taboo to change your orders all the time. Your Majesty, your decree will affect the Heavenly Dao's operation and affect countless living beings in the world. If you change it easily, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm just trying my best. It would be best if I succeed. If not, I can reduce some resistance after the Heavenly Courts accept the dragon race."
"Sure!"
The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "Changgeng, what do I have to worry about? Is there anything that the Heavenly Courts can do?"
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Pardon my brazenness, but I need three things."
The Jade Emperor perked up. "Tell me!"
Li Changshou said, "I need a blank letter from Your Majesty. There's no need to seal it with the Heavenly Emperor's Seal. Your Majesty, you can leave a wisp of Dao runes on it."
"Okay."
"I need some immortal peaches. Later, I will go to the Jade Void Palace, Golden Ao Island, and other places that the Saint is in charge of. I will meet the people who are in charge of the sect affairs of Chan School and Jie School. With the Heavenly Courts wanting to take the dragon race into the Heavenly Courts, I will ask the experts of the two sects to voice their support and pressure the dragon race."
"Sure!"
"I still need some merit and an order from Your Majesty."
Li Changshou took out a scroll from his sleeve. It was the Hydrology Diagram from Da Yu. He said calmly, "When I went to the Fire Cloud Cave, I was bestowed with this item by Emperor Da Yu. There are annotations of the rivers, lakes, streams, and pools of the South Continent."
In the next twelve years, I would like to bring this diagram with me and travel to the South Continent.
Your Majesty, although the four seas are huge, there is a limit to the Deity Positions. We can confer titles of low-level water gods for rivers and lakes in the South Continent.
As for the Water Gods that have been conferred, they can be in positions for a few thousand years or even a few hundred years.
Then, this batch of deities can allow the dragon race to quickly clear their negative karma. How can the dragon race not be tempted?
Suppressing, showing kindness, and giving the dragon race hope, I am not afraid that the dragon race will not take the initiative to ask for permission. Moreover, by putting the matters of the South Continent under the direct control of the Heavenly Courts, we can make up for the lack of the Heavenly Courts' Deities."
"Amazing, amazing!"
The Jade Emperor clapped and laughed. He stood up behind the jade table and looked at Li Changshou with a burning gaze.
"Changgeng, how many more surprises can you give me?!
With Da Yu's Diagram, we would be able to develop the Deity Positions for the rivers and lakes in the South Continent. With such Deity Positions, why would he have to worry about not being able to make the dragon race take the initiative to pledge their loyalty?
Changgeng, you had to come up with such a brilliant plan!
Changgeng, listen to me!"
Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and said, "I'm here."
The Jade Emperor paced back and forth behind the jade table. He was full of energy and his eyes were shining!
Then, he drew the power of the Heavenly Dao and spoke. "Today, I order the Sea God Changgeng to hold the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram and wield the Demon-Slaying Sword. He will patrol the waters of the South Continent, stabilizing the Deity Positions of the rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds!"
"I accept your orders!"
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, golden light flickered all over the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Waves of power of merit surged towards the diagram in Li Changshou's hand. In the blink of an eye, the diagram turned golden.
Following that, another sheathed sword slowly condensed in front of Li Changshou. It was wrapped in rich Heavenly Dao power and was comparable to a top-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure!
The Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword!
Well… although it was basically useless, it looked quite nice in his hands.
Report chapter
Chapter 312 Sea God, Do You lack Female Disciples?
On the way back to the Sea God Residence after leaving the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Li Changshou squinted and smiled.
He felt that it was not bad to use his position for personal gain…
No, that's not right. Both public and personal matters are beneficial. How can it be called abusing my authority for personal benefits?
Li Changshou looked at the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram in his sleeve, which was shining with golden light. He felt extremely comfortable.
That would save him a huge amount of merit!
In a while, the treasure would only need to be slightly refined to become a top-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure that could attack and defend!
According to Li Changshou's prediction, as long as he completed his exploration of the rivers and lakes, the Heavenly Dao would still give him merit. This treasure might be able to improve again! Therefore, when he left the Lingxiao Hall just now, Li Changshou felt a little touched when he saw the Jade Emperor's emotional gaze…
He felt a little embarrassed.
The twelve-year Dragon-Subduing Plan had been fully activated. Li Changshou had already made arrangements. Next, he would not do everything personally. After visiting Chan School and Jie School, he would go to the Dragon Palace to greet the Dragon King of the East Ocean. Then, he would travel to the South Continent in public and wait for the Immortal Peach Banquet to begin.
Whether or not this plan was the most effective was actually debatable.
However, to Li Changshou, that was the most stable plan. It was also the plan that he could carry out without offending both sides…
After returning to the Sea God Residence, Li Changshou placed the Heavenly Emperor's Demon-Slaying Sword in the most eye-catching position in the main hall and bowed with a Dao salute.
Then, he moved a rocking chair and basked in the sun of the Heavenly Courts, waiting for General Dongmu to deliver the immortal peaches.
There was a Heavenly General who served tea and a fruit platter that the Fairy of the Jade Pool had given to the Queen Mother. Li Changshou enjoyed it leisurely… Although the paper effigy tasted a little lacking, he still had to put on an act.
If he did not have so many paper effigies, his life in the Heavenly Courts would be extremely carefree, comfortable, and boring.
Speaking of the Queen Mother, Li Changshou had never seen the Heavenly Queen's true appearance since he had ascended to Heaven.
Actually, Li Changshou had deliberately avoided the Queen Mother and did not pay a visit to her.
Avoid suspicion?
There was no need for that.
Li Changshou was not that conceited to think that his paper effigy that was in the form of an old dragon would be misunderstood by others. Usually, he did not even interact with female immortals. At most, he would joke with the Heavenly Generals.
Li Changshou was not going to meet the Queen Mother because he was worried that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother would have conflicts regarding the authority of the Heavenly Courts.
The Queen Mother was similar to the Jade Emperor. The Dao Ancestor had let the two of them manage the Heavenly Courts back then.
In name, the Queen Mother's authority was not inferior to the Jade Emperor's.
Now, Li Changshou did not understand the relationship between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. However, the authority of the Heavenly Courts was gathered in the Jade Emperor's hands. The Queen Mother only cultivated in the Jade Pool.
Therefore, there was a risk of being misunderstood by the Jade Emperor if he took the initiative to visit the Queen Mother. He would not suffer any losses if he did not visit the Queen Mother.
Comparing the two, it would be easier to take the easy way out. The word 'steady' suddenly emerged from his core.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Changshou chuckled. The old immortal paper effigy was resting with his eyes closed. Amidst the sounds of the wind, there were whispers outside the wall, the orderly footsteps of the Heavenly Soldiers patrolling, and the soft laughter of the fairy on a distant immortal mountain.
He heard the noises but did not pay much attention to them.
The real reason he went to the Chan School and Jie School to meet the person in charge of the education, was actually to meet Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao.
It was easy to meet the people from Jie School but the Deputy Sect Master Randeng of Chan School was tougher to deal with. He had to make preparations in advance to prevent the other party from making things difficult for him.
Li Changshou had heard from General Dongmu that there were not many guests at the Heavenly Peach Banquet previously. The remaining immortal peaches in the Jade Pool's treasure vault were very serious. Many of them would turn into spiritual energy and dissipate after a thousand years, causing a serious waste.
Therefore, the Heavenly Courts should not be stingy with sending gifts to the Chan School and Jie School.
How should I hint to His Majesty that I want to eat some peaches too?
Although the immortal peaches were not of much use to him, his master, junior sister, Aunt-Master, Grandmaster, and future wife would definitely benefit from consuming them.
After his junior sister ascended and came out of seclusion, it would be quite appropriate for her to get some immortal peaches to celebrate.
As he thought about that, Li Changshou multi-tasked. Half of his attention was left in the Sea God Residence of the Heavenly Courts, while the other half returned to his main body.
His immortal senses checked the various parts of the sect carefully. After confirming that everything was normal and that there were no mental demons, he retracted his gaze.
At that moment, a beautiful figure flew out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak and headed towards the Little Qiong Peak.
She was wearing a rainbow-colored dress and an icy-blue, elegant dress. Her long hair was not combed back with some sideburns, but was tied into a simple ponytail. Her jade-like face was cold and beautiful at the same time. One could not help but wonder what she looked like when she smiled.
"Isn't Toxic Junior Sister going into seclusion?"
Li Changshou was also puzzled.
He had just helped her deal with her mental demons. Now should be the time for her to gain enlightenment. Why would she go out?
Could it be that she was still depressed and troubled?
"Forget it. I'll help you to the end. I'll go all the way."
Li Changshou sighed softly and took the initiative to go out. He stood outside the Pill Chamber and closed the various array formations. He quietly waited for Youqin Xuanya to fly over.
Youqin Xuanya, who was about to head to the chess room, noticed Li Changshou's figure. The white cloud under her feet immediately made a turn and landed directly on the Pill Chamber…
When she jumped down from the cloud, her skirt fluttered slightly. Her jade-like feet were flawless, and she was quite pleasing to the eye.
"Senior Brother Changshou."
Xuanya cupped her fists and bowed. She pursed her thin lips slightly and revealed a faint smile. Her eyes were clearer than the starry night sky, and she felt safe and happy.
"Junior Sister Youqin." Li Changshou cupped his hands and returned the greeting. He smiled and said, "Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation recently?"
Youqin Xuanya hummed softly and nodded seriously. She looked a little ashamed…
Ash… ashamed?
"I've disappointed you, Senior Brother." Youqin Xuanya's face. "When I was cultivating, I was almost taken advantage of by my mental demons. Although my Dao heart has stabilized, this is really…"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's just a mental demon. Most of us Qi Refinement cultivators have to experience it. There's no need to worry about it." "Instead, Junior Sister, you should reflect on why there are gaps in your Dao heart and avoid being taken advantage of by your mental demons."
"I will remember what you said, Senior Brother Changshou."
Youqin Xuanya looked up at Li Changshou and said in a low voice, "Can you walk around the mountain with me? I have a few questions that are related to the gaps in my Dao heart. I want to ask you, Senior Brother."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Could it be that she wants to share her inner demon experience with me?
That was true.
Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya strolled casually in the forest outside the Pill Chamber. Youqin Xuanya explained the general situation of the mental demons.
In fact, she did not want to lie. She endured the embarrassment and told him how she could cultivate happily with the "Senior Brother Changshou" that was transformed from the mental demon.
It was very pure and innocent.
"Senior Brother Changshou." Youqin Xuanya turned to look at Li Changshou's side profile and asked softly, "There's something I don't understand. The mental demon had once been rude to me, specifically, it moved forward…" "There's no need to explain the details!"
Li Changshou interrupted Youqin Xuanya and smiled. "I roughly understand the problem. The dual cultivation life that you yearn for, is about cultivating together and talking about it together. You two will wander the world, play the zither, and walk the path of immortality together. This is actually what many Qi Refinement cultivators think about Dao companions. It's quiet and elegant. It's not
bad."
Youqin Xuanya blinked and whispered, "Senior Brother, I'm not asking about that…"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "What is it then?"
"Um…"
Youqin Xuanya pondered for a while. Then, she pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows. A gentle breeze blew through the forest. "I asked Master just now. Master said that the inner demons are actually my obsession. I have also asked my heart. I was still a little confused, so I came to look for you to find an answer, Senior Brother." "Yes." Li Changshou said seriously, "Junior Sister, just say it. If I can give you an answer, I will give it to you."
"Then… Um…"
Youqin Xuanya groaned softly. She lowered her hands in front of her and interlocked her fingers.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she only said a few words after a while.
Li Changshou waited patiently and finally heard Youqin Xuanya say, "Senior Brother Changshou… I might have… thoughts about you that are different from Dao companions…" Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand.
Could it be that she had taken the inner demon's act of stretching out her 'Claws of Anlu Mountain' as her inner obsession? That was reasonable. However, that was just ahem, that was just an intense method that Li Changshou had used to scare her.
Moreover, in the mental illusion realm, he was really just putting on an act. He did not do anything beyond his bottom line!
What should I do…
Should I coax her like she's a child, and tell her that it is not right to think that way? Should I tell her that it is not pure and make her blame herself so that she will feel guilty?
That is not right or ethical.
Li Changshou deliberated over his words and raised his head with his hands behind his back. Through the gaps in the forest, he looked at the white clouds in the sky.
He said warmly, "Junior Sister, before we cultivate, we were all mortals. Mortals are weak. They have to reproduce to maintain the stability of their race and allow their bloodline to expand. Therefore, some things are fixed in the bloodline, including the reproduction of the human race. The thought that appeared in your heart is actually very normal. If a Golden Immortal is not heartless, how can he or she have no desires? Therefore, you don't have to feel ashamed and feel that you are not pure enough. Desire, emotions, and feelings are all a part of you. Learning to control, face, and overcome them is also a form of cultivation."
Youqin Xuanya was deep in thought. After some thought, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The knot in his heart had indeed been untied.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Moreover, Junior Sister, your thoughts are indeed very simple. Let me give you an example. Do you know how a mortal couple does things in detail to obtain children?"
Youqin Xuanya immediately answered, "I've read about it in a book. It's said that Yin and Yang should be intertwined in order to give birth to living beings. The two of them would sit facing each other and place their palms together. Both of them would circulate their Dharma powers and immortal power. With the essence of Yin and Yang as a guide, the Qi of Life will be formed before returning to the woman's stomach."
A few question marks appeared on Li Changshou's forehead. "Who taught you this? This is a mistake."
Youqin Xuanya blinked in confusion. She bowed to Li Changshou and said seriously,
"Senior Brother Changshou, please teach me!"
"I'll teach you!"
Li Changshou could not help but blush. He hurriedly said, "You should ask your master about this or ask Ling'e, Aunt-Master Jiu, and the others.
There are differences between men and women. This is not something that can be easily taught."
Youqin Xuanya could not help but feel even more puzzled. Li Changshou took the initiative to change the topic and began to talk about the "whereabouts" of his fellow disciples.
Youqin Xuanya was the current Head Disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. Naturally, she paid attention to that matter and was easily distracted by Li Changshou.
An hour later, she returned to Heaven-Breaking Peak with her doubts.
Li Changshou wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed in his heart. He felt that he should send a memorial to the Jade Emperor and specially ask him to establish some lessons about reproduction in the Primordial World.
There should be quite a lot of merit from that… probably.
"Put their palms together and sit cross-legged. Tsk, you actually thought of that."
Li Changshou shook his head and floated back to the Pill Chamber.
Back then, when the Dao Ancestor established the Heavenly Courts and the Saints established the Heaven and Earth, the Goddess Nuwa had used the Connate Numinous treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball, to settle the matters regarding marriage and establish the three marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The Heavenly Marriage referred to the marriage between the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. The master-disciple pair set an example for the marriage of the Three Realms. However, because the Heavenly Courts were relatively weak, it did not affect them much. They had written the marriage template into the Heavenly Dao.
After that, the various races decided on the etiquette of marriage.
It was unlike the ancient times when the Magi and the human race mainly relied on the clan gatherings to get together and matchmake. At that time, the custom was that the women would launch a surprise attack on the men they liked. They would then knock them unconscious and carry them back to their tents.
When Li Changshou read about such customs in the ancient books, he could not help but imagine.
If women of a certain tribe were to vie with each other for a handsome man, wouldn't his head be smashed by a stick?
Ah, the Primordial World…
Not only women, but men also had to protect themselves.
After sending Youqin Xuanya off, Li Changshou waited for half a day. When the sun was setting in the west and the moon was about to appear above the sea of clouds, General Dongmu arrived with a group of Heavenly Soldiers.
After seeing Li Changshou, General Dongmu made some small talk and took out two treasure pouches.
"There are a total of 300 peaches of the best quality," General Dongmu said with a smile. "Chan School and Jie School will be receiving a hundred each and the Ren School will also receive a hundred. This matter was decided by the Queen Mother."
After saying that, Li Changshou blinked and immediately understood what she meant.
Who is from Ren School?
Apart from the Saint, isn't it just me and the Great Daoist Master?
Those one hundred peaches were clearly for Li Changshou!
Li Changshou sighed in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. He put away the immortal peaches and said, "General Dongmu, do you have any other instructions? I'll go to Golden Ao Island tomorrow morning." "Well…" General Dongmu turned to look at the door of the Sea God's Residence and said softly," There's a small problem. It was entrusted to me by the Queen Mother. Sea God, do you lack disciples? I don't mean disciples who cultivate and get imparted the Dao. I mean disciples who learn to be scheming and devise strategies. They will have nothing to do with Ren School. If you lack a disciple, just give me a word and I will send one to you immediately."
Li Changshou could not help but frown slightly. He whispered, "Who can make the Queen Mother help him like this?"
General Dongmu sent a voice transmission. "It's the flesh and blood of His Majesty, the beloved child of Her Majesty. However, they have never announced it to the public…"
Li Changshou pondered for a while. "What does His Majesty say about this?"Li Changshou"
"This matter was suggested by His Majesty."
"That's fine." Li Changshou smiled and said, "How can I not respect His Majesty's orders? Where is this prince? I'll go and pay him a visit."
"He's outside." General Dongmu turned around and said while facing the door, "Your Highness Long Ji, come in. The Sea God has
agreed!"
Chapter 313 The Great Daoist Master's Return, The Three-Immortal Island Gives Peaches
As soon as General Dongmu finished speaking, a Heavenly Soldier outside the Sea God's Residence left the formation and jumped into the sect.
The soldier lowered his head and walked forward quickly. He was wearing a silver helmet and battle armor. From afar, he looked no different from a man, except that he was slightly shorter.
When she got closer, she cupped her fists and bowed to Li Changshou and General Dongmu. She lowered her head and slowly raised it, revealing a puerile and young face.
She was a young girl in her prime who would only look thirteen or fourteen years old if she was placed among mortals.
The moment she spoke, her voice was clear.
"Greetings, General Dongmu and the Sea God!"
"Your Highness, you're too polite." Li Changshou smiled and bowed.
Although Long Ji was the daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Princess of the Heavenly Courts, she did not have a Deity Position in the Heavenly Courts. She could be considered the Jade Emperor's "family member". It was reasonable for him to present such a gift.
Li Changshou felt emotional.
After the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Long Ji would become Hong Luan Xing. She was another person related to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
He and the Great God-Conferment Tribulation could not be cut off, and his mind was in a mess…
Li Changshou thought about it and some memories related to Long Ji came. After some deductions, he sorted out the information he knew.
During the God-Conferment Tribulation, Long Ji was an expert with high Dharma powers. She stood on the Chan School's side and took the initiative to help King Wu of Zhou.
Long Ji was originally the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor. It was said that she had been banished to the mortal world to cultivate because she had made a mistake. Li Changshou could not remember the relevant battle results clearly. He only remembered that she had been persuaded by an immortal and Elder Moon to marry one of her defeated enemies.
Her defeated opponent was a useless pretty boy. His name was Hong Jin or something.
According to Li Changshou's understanding of Elder Moon, the reason Elder Moon could do such a heartless thing was definitely because someone or a force was plotting against him.
That was all Li Changshou knew about Long Ji. General Dongmu said, "Your Highness Long Ji, why don't you reveal your true appearance and worship the Sea God as your teacher?"
"Yes," Princess Long Ji replied softly. A faint immortal fog appeared around her.
When the immortal fog dissipated, the armor on her body disappeared and turned into a light white dress. Her black hair cascaded down.
At that moment, Long Ji was shorter than before, and her body was much thinner. She could be described as cute.
Li Changshou took a closer look. She was really a young girl who had just entered puberty.
However, come to think of it, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are both Connate lifeforms. Is their daughter's growth cycle counted by years or hundreds of thousands of years?
Princess Long Ji should be at least a few thousand years old, right?
If she still looks like a young girl during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, wouldn't Elder Moon, that immortal, and that Hong Jin… be committing a crime?
Yes, as an ordinary minister trusted by the Jade Emperor, he had to quickly come up with a complete set of Heavenly Laws.
The young girl, Long Ji, walked forward and bowed to Li Changshou. She said respectfully, "Greetings, Teacher."
"Hey, don't call me Teacher. I can't accept this karma easily."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Since Your Highness wants to discuss strategies with me, I will be thick-skinned and accept this task. However, Princess, you can just call me the Sea God. Don't call me Teacher."
Long Ji could not help but look at General Dongmu. The latter smiled and nodded. She felt that Li Changshou was just being humble.
Actually, he was really afraid.
General Dongmu smiled and said, "You can do whatever you want, Sea God."
Princess Long Ji immediately shouted, "Sea God!"
Li Changshou smiled in satisfaction and took out a few bottles of pills from his sleeve as a greeting gift for her.
He originally thought that Princess Long Ji had only come to greet him and go through the formalities. However, he did not expect that after General Dongmu left with his people…
The princess stood in the corner of the Sea God's Residence and looked around curiously. She exuded spirituality. "Your Highness, you?" Li Changshou looked puzzled.
"Mother asked me to learn more from you, Sea God." The young girl smiled and blinked, looking a little sly. "Sea God, can I stay here?"
Li Changshou said seriously, "Your Highness, to be honest, I am just an incarnation here. Most of the time, this incarnation is cultivating. It's very boring."
"Sea God, don't worry. I want to cultivate too!"
Long Ji smiled and said, "Since Mother asked me to follow the Sea God, I naturally have to follow her orders. Sea God, if you want to go out or do something, you can bring me along. If it is not convenient, just pretend that I'm not present. I'm here to be the child beside you, Sea God. It's fine for me to run errands. I will not cause karma and trouble for you, Sea God. I will not embarrass the Heavenly Courts."
Li Changshou could not help but praise her in his head.
The princess was polite in every word she said and her actions. She carried herself well, was elegant, natural, humble and restrained. She was indeed a good seedling. She lived up to the bloodline of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Li Changshou smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you go to the Jade Pool to prepare and come to see me tomorrow morning? I will set off tomorrow to visit the experts of the three sects and the dragon king of the dragon race. Your Highness, let's walk around together and form some good karma." "Thank you, Sea God!"
Long Ji was overjoyed when she heard that. She did not insist on staying in the Sea God Residence.
After sending Long Ji off, Li Changshou could not help but ponder.
What does His Majesty… mean?
If he used the elimination method, he would first eliminate the most absurd possibility, the Beauty Scheme.
The Jade Emperor was the ruler of the Three Realms, and with the support of the Purple Cloud Palace, why would he arrange for his precious daughter to plot against a little Sea God like him?
Secondly, he had to eliminate the option of 'Inspector'. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother would not do that.
On the other hand, the reason that General Dongmu said was the most credible. Her Highness was there to learn how to devise schemes and strategies.
However, how should I teach her how to devise schemes and strategies? I, Li Changshou, am just a little more stable in handling matters. I would think about it a little more and make more preparations. I don't have any strong points that I can teach others.
He could not teach Princess Long Ji the method of thinking and visualization, and nurture her ability to divert her attention and multitasking..
Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair and felt a little troubled. In the end, he could only change his mind.
I should just treat this princess as a supervisor.
That made it easier for Li Changshou to accept it. Moreover, as the Sea God, he had nothing to hide.
Hence, the next morning… Just as Li Changshou's attention landed on the paper effigy of the Sea God's Residence, he realized that a thin figure was standing outside the Sea God's Residence. It was naturally Long
Ji.
She tied a cloth bag to her head to hide her hair, and changed into a lightweight white Daoist robe and cloth boots. She looked a little like a Dao Child.
Li Changshou stood up and walked out of the residence. The young girl outside the door hurriedly turned around.
"Have you been waiting, Your Highness?" "Long Ji greets the Sea God!" Long Ji bowed and said, "Sea God, please call me Long Ji. You said yesterday that from today onwards, I will be your Dao child." "I shall do so then."
Li Changshou chuckled and handed the horsetail whisk over.
Long Ji immediately walked forward and held the horsetail whisk with both hands. She held it in her arms and followed behind Li Changshou.
Li Changshou waved his sleeve and a white cloud rose. Then, he led Long Ji towards the Tushita Palace.
Yesterday, Li Changshou thought for a long time and decided to give the Immortal Peaches to the Great Daoist Master so that he could "distribute" it.
Although it was a small matter, he could not stay there casually.
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that… the Great Daoist Master was not sleeping in the Tushita Palace, ahem, he was not cultivating!
In the front courtyard of the Tushita Palace, Little Gold smiled and said, "The Great Daoist Master has returned to see the Grand Pure One. He said that he has something to report to the Saint."
Little Silver also said from the side, "Elder Lord rode a cow out a few days ago and is not in the palace. "Senior Brother Changgeng, do you have any difficulties? The two of us can help you!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Help? Should I take a few treasures from the Grand Supreme Elder and go down to call the monkey 'Walker Sun?
"It's not an issue." Li Changshou smiled and took out a brocade box from his chest pocket. He smiled and said, "The Queen Mother sent some immortal peaches to the Three Schools of Dao Sect. I specially sent them over. There are thirty-six immortal peaches inside. Don't eat them secretly. When the Great Daoist Master returns, he will reward you."
"Okay!"
Little Jin nodded and agreed. He did not think much of it.
In the first few thousand years that the Heavenly Courts and the Tushita Palace had first been established, the fairies would send some immortal peaches over every now and then.
Later, he got sick of eating peaches and fed them to the green bull.
Then, Li Changshou bade farewell with Long Ji and rode a cloud towards the East Heaven Gate. Princess Long Ji pondered for a while and took out a jade token. She wrote something on it.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "What did you
write?"
"Sea God, please take a look."
Princess Long Ji handed the jade token over. Li Changshou looked at it and could not help but chuckle.
Princess Long Ji had actually recorded everything that he had said to Little Gold and Little Silver. She had also written a short comment.
The comments was:
"Today, the Sea God entered the Tushita Palace to look for the Great Daoist Master. He wanted to hand the immortal peaches that my mother gave him to the Great Daoist Master to handle. Although this is a small matter, I saw that the Sea God was very cautious. It's easier said than done."
Li Changshou handed the jade token back and praised, "It's easy to read more and learn more. It's hard to think a lot. I hope you can maintain this habit. In the future, you can support the Heavenly Courts alone."
Long Ji stuck out the tip of her tongue shyly and blushed. She agreed softly. Li Changshou continued, "Let's go, let's go to Golden Ao Island. Outside the Heaven Gate, the Primordial World will still be very dangerous. If you encounter danger, you should protect yourself. I will protect you and help you escape." "Don't worry, Sea God. I will not cause any trouble."
"Okay."
Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He brought Long Ji out of Golden Ao Island and headed towards the East Ocean.
Although he wanted to give Long Ji a tuition class so that she could have a crash course on the 'Steadiness Sutra' and the 'Theory of Tricks', it was a secret that he could not reveal.
Moreover, Princess Long Ji's identity was quite sensitive. It was different from Ao Yi's.
Has the Great Daoist Master gone to meet the Saint?
Li Changshou pondered for a while. If that was the case, he would keep the remaining sixty-four immortal peaches to himself. He would find a chance to bring more than ten back to the Immortal Du Sect and let his master and the others taste them.
Half a day later, Li Changshou rode a cloud and slowly walked in front of Golden Ao Island. A few immortals from Golden Ao Island took the initiative to go out to welcome him.
Long Ji followed Li Changshou as a Dao child. No one paid much attention to her.
Initially, Long Ji was calm. However, she gradually became shocked. Then, she became inexplicably shocked. The way she looked at the Sea God changed continuously.
Who exactly is this person who has served the Heavenly Courts and supported Father?
Although Long Ji looked young, she had cultivated for a long time. She had read many books in the Jade Pool since she was young and knew all kinds of secrets and legends.
Golden Ao Island was a famous Dao venue in Jie School. There was a path to Green Touring Palace. Many disciples of the Saints usually ignored the Heavenly Courts.
However, the Sea God had come to Golden Ao Island today. First, the Golden Immortals welcomed him, and then the ten Heavenly Lords invited him to a banquet.
If they had not just come from the Tushita Palace, Long Ji would have thought that the Sea God was from Jie School.
When Li Changshou suggested that he wanted to meet the eldest senior brother of Jie School and the eldest disciple of the Grandmaster of Heaven, the senior Daoist Duobao appeared on Golden Ao Island before the ten Heavenly Lords had even agreed. He shouted 'Brother Sea God' and went forward to talk to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou made some small talk and explained his intentions. He also took out a gift from the Heavenly Courts.
Daoist Duobao blinked his eyes and took out an immortal peach. He peeled it open and took a bite of the crystal clear peach flesh. Immediately, his mouth was filled with a refreshing feeling. He snorted softly in pleasure. "This immortal peach is not bad. I'll leave some for Teacher to taste. As for the rest, we will split them among our fellow disciples. Don't let the Sea God and the Heavenly Courts down."
All the immortals from the Jie Sect agreed.
However, just as Daoist Duobao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something. Just as the Goddess of Golden Light jumped over excitedly and was about to split the peaches, Daoist Duobao said, "Reserve nine more for Brother Sea God."
"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother." The Goddess of Golden Light blinked and could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Eldest Senior Brother, are you going to return the favor?"
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Senior, that's not appropriate."
"What do you mean inappropriate!?!"
Duobao personally took action and took out a numinous-treasure-level jade box from his sleeve. He selected nine peaches of the best quality and of the highest age and placed them in the jade box.
Then, he waved his hand. "How can we not send such delicious peaches to Three-Immortal Island? The Three Xiao Immortals are the pillar of Jie School! Sea God, let's go. Please come with me again." Li Changshou thought about it for a long time. In the end, he smiled and agreed. He brought the jade box along and followed Daoist Duobao to the Three-Immortal Island together with the confused Long Ji.
On the way, Long Ji saw… a certain Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, whom she had heard about in legends. He moved together with the Sea God and they kept muttering something softly. From time to time, he would even laugh strangely.
At that moment, Long Ji was only shocked because of the wide network of connections that the Sea God had.
Another hour later, when they arrived at the Three-Immortal Island and met the famous Three Xiao Immortals of Jie School, Long Ji was shocked.
Is this Fairy Yun Xiao really someone who should be in this world?
That was not the main point.
The Sea God and Fairy Yun Xiao strolled in the forest alone and chatted and laughed. What kind of situation was that? She thought.
Fairy Yun Xiao even personally peeled an immortal peach and handed it to the Sea God…
Although the Sea God said that it was only an incarnation and could not taste much, his body accepted it honestly.
The Sea God and Daoist Duobao…
The Sea God and Fairy Yun Xiao…
Long Ji pursed her lips and stood in the corner. She listened to the two other big shots who were playing around and quietly took out a jade token to pen down her current thoughts and state of mind.
At the same time, in the Great Scarlet Sky of the Nine-layered Celestial Palace.
The clouds were misty, and immortal light surrounded them. There was nothing, no god, no immortal, no spirit. There was only a mystery.
In the depths of the clouds, the Great Daoist Master was sitting upright in front of the small hall of a small Daoist temple. There was a smile on his face. He gave off a vibe of… being obedient while not pretending to be young. Not long after, the Great Daoist Master whispered to the hall, "Teacher, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Report chapter
Chapter 314 The Sea God Who Is Familiar With The Three Schools!
Opportunity? What opportunity is Teacher waiting for? In front of the Tushita Palace's gate, the Great Daoist Master stood quietly on the stairs, thinking about the short conversation he had with his teacher in the Grand Pure Temple.
He had gone to ask his teacher for permission to officially take Li Changshou as his disciple.
However, his teacher only said… that the time was not right. In other words, Teacher has already decided to take Changshou as his disciple, but he is waiting for an opportunity?
What opportunity could there be?
Isn't it just a matter of a Saint's decree?
Why do I feel that there is a complicated plan behind this?
The Great Daoist Master frowned slightly. He pushed open the door of the Tushita Palace and returned to his fixed seat.
He was under the old tree of the cool grassland.
As the Eldest Disciple of Ren School and the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect, how could he not plan? It was just that he had been thinking less and was too lazy to devise a scheme.
The Great Daoist Master raised his sleeve and looked interested.
Today, let me deduce what kind of opportunity my teacher is waiting for and when Changshou can successfully enter the Tushita Palace!
Hence, the Great Daoist Master sat under the tree and began to pinch his fingers and ponder. He nodded and shook his head from time to time. He looked rather serious.
The Great Daoist Master only heaved a sigh of relief when he frowned…
He had given up.
He really could not figure out what his teacher was plotting
"Sigh, let them be. It's fine as long as they know that Teacher is interested in taking in disciples. It's not appropriate to tell Changshou about that. Otherwise, Changshou's mental state would be unstable. I'll congratulate Changshou after Teacher gives the decree."
The Great Daoist Master yawned. Just as he was about to "return his body to nature and let his mind fuse with the world", the Little Gold and Little Silver ran over from afar.
"Great Daoist Master! Senior Brother Changshou came over previously and brought some immortal peaches."
"Immortal Peaches?"
The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows and looked at the six immortal peaches in the jade box that Little Gold and Little Silver had opened. He smiled. "Changshou is really considerate. He didn't forget to send some over after receiving some benefits."
The Great Daoist Master sighed softly. "The two of you can share them. Don't let Changshou down."
Little Gold and Little Silver hurriedly nodded and carried the jade box back into the hall. They even burped a few times along the way.
"These two little guys don't even wipe their mouths when they eat secretly." Immortal Peach… Sea God…
The Great Daoist Master muttered, "Could it be that Teacher wants to wait for Changshou to make some contributions If that's the case, I can't be anxious. However, I always feel that Teacher doesn't care about the dragon race and should have other considerations. The word opportunity is really too vague."
Forget it.
It's useless to think so much.
The Great Daoist Master stretched his back and slowly leaned back. The shallow grass on the ground grew and intertwined, forming a comfortable straw bed.
Right, what is Changshou doing now?
The Great Daoist Master placed his left hand behind his head and tapped his right hand in front of him. The Taiji Painting slowly appeared. As the Yin-Yang fishes rotated, a painting was formed.
Oh, he actually went to the Three-Immortal Island!
When he saw that, the Great Daoist Master was instantly energized. The image slowly moved, and soon, he saw the two figures who were chatting in the forest.
The Great Daoist Master praised in his heart and hurriedly waved his hand to disperse the image of the Taiji Painting.
However, even if the Great Daoist Master was fast enough, Fairy Yun Xiao could still sense it. She looked at the sky…
The Great Daoist Master calculated carefully and realized that his Dao runes had not been captured by Yun Xiao. He heaved a sigh of relief.
'You're really something, Little Changshou.' 'He refuses to even let go of such an opportunity. How dare he go to the Three-Immortal Island with just some immortal peaches? It's not like he has an immortal peach spiritual root. Isn't he afraid that Junior Sister Yunxiao will look down on him?"
Hence, he turned around and fell asleep.
On the Three-Immortal Island, Yun Xiao frowned slightly and slowly retracted her gaze.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is someone spying on this place?"
Yun Xiao could not help but ask curiously, "Fellow Daoist, you also sensed that aura just
now?"
"My cultivation level is low. I naturally can't sense it," Li Changshou said. "I just read that from your expression, Fairy."
"Eldest Senior Brother should be watching." Yun Xiao sighed softly and felt a little helpless. "I've embarrassed myself, Fellow Daoist."
After sending Li Changshou to the Three-Immortal Island, Daoist Duobao used the excuse of going back to offer his peach to his teacher, and returned to the Green Touring Palace outside the etherealness. Li Changshou smiled and said, "Senior Duobao is carefree and unrestrained. He likes to fool around. He is really a rare figure in the world. There were many people in Jie School who were more humane than other places in the Primordial World. The path of cultivation is long. It's the luckiest thing to have a friend."
Yun Xiao could not help but stop in her tracks and turn around slightly. She smiled gently and said, "How do you make everything sound beneficial yet so reasonable?"
The forest was filled with light and shadows. Some light spots landed on her long dress, making her look more lively.
"Fairy, you flatter me." Li Changshou did not dare to look at her. He only smiled and said, "It's just that when you consider the same matter, you can try looking at it from a different perspective. Besides, the humane nature and friendliness of the members of Jie School is a good thing and also a bad thing."
Yun Xiao asked, "Karma is the bad thing."
"Yes, it is karma." Li Changshou's eyes were filled with deep meaning. He said slowly, "The more friends you have, the harder it is to get rid of karma. Karma is like a web that has already enveloped the entire Jie School."
Yun Xiao pondered.
To be safe, Li Changshou did not mention anything else. He stopped and continued strolling with Yun Xiao.
The clouds rose and disappeared. The tide rose and fell.
The scenery on the Three-Immortal Island was not bad, but Li Changshou did not remember much.
Yun Xiao also asked him why he had come to Golden Ao Island this time. Li Changshou mentioned the dragon race and a letter he had obtained from Daoist Duobao on the way. There were two ancient words written on the book. They were 'Dragon' and 'Heaven'. After that, after Li Changshou left the Three-Immortal Island, he would go to the Jade Void Palace to visit. He hoped to find Guang Chengzi and seek help from him to "trap" and "ascend".
"Trapping the dragons and allowing them to soar to the Heavenly Courts?"
Yun Xiao muttered softly, "What effect does this handwriting have on the dragon race?"
"If they were simply written by the two seniors, there might be some negative effects and they might feel that the Dao Sect is interfering in the matters of the dragon race."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "However, if this matter is handled carefully and complements the promise given by the Jade Emperor, it will form a strong suppression. Although the Primordial World is huge and the trichiliocosm is vast, the dragon race cannot hide from the Three Dao Sects."
"Now, the Jade Emperor has lost his patience with the dragon race. There needs to be a conclusion as soon as possible. At this moment, we can't let the dragon race resolve the internal problems first. We can only let the dragon race establish a name before cooperating internally and gradually reorganizing the race…" Li Changshou spoke calmly in the forest. Fairy Yun Xiao was listening quietly most of the time. From time to time, she would nod slightly or take the initiative to ask.
The two of them chatted happily.
It was as if two hours had passed quickly in the blink of an eye.
Li Changshou expressed his intention to leave. Yun Xiao sent him out of the Three-Immortal Island. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao also came out to join in the fun. There was a hint of mischief in their eyes, but they did not tease him.
They were warned not to do so, otherwise they would have to kneel.
"Let's go," Li Changshou said to Princess Long Ji, who was acting a little reserved. Long Ji flew forward and followed behind Li Changshou. She hugged his horsetail whisk and was in a daze.
She took the route of the South Continent and rushed to the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.
Halfway through the journey, Long Ji finally asked softly, "Sea God…"
"Huh?"
"Is the peach delicious?"
"Not bad. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"Hehe." Long Ji stuck out the tip of his tongue and smiled. Then, she asked timidly, "Sea God, can I ask you something? Why did you come to the Heavenly Courts to help my father?"
Li Changshou replied with a question, "Then why do you think the Grand Supreme Elder is helping His Majesty in the Heavenly Courts?"
Long Ji could not help but be stunned. She vaguely felt that she had already obtained the answer, but she felt confused. She did not know what she had understood.
Li Changshou chuckled and continued to ride the cloud. He did not explain further.
On the other hand, Long Ji pondered for a while and took out his jade token. She lowered her head and wrote some words.
"The Sea God paid a visit to Jie School. He has a wide network of connections and many friends. It was really shocking, especially when Senior Duobao took the initiative to look for him and called him brother… The Sea God actually has a close relationship with Fairy Yun Xiao. They were like soul mates when they strolled through the forest and chatted happily… Impressive, impressive." "Long Ji?"
"Yes!" Long Ji hurriedly agreed and put the jade talisman back into the sleeve of her Daoist robe. "Sea God, please give me your instructions!"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Don't spread anything about what you saw today in the Heavenly Courts."
"If Father and Mother ask…"
"Of course you can tell them." Li Changshou said, "Next, I'll go and visit a senior. I'm going to the Jade Void Palace. Remember, no matter what happens in the Jade Void Palace, don't make a sound. Just follow behind me."
"Yes," Long Ji replied solemnly.
She naturally knew that the members of the two Immortal Sects, the Chan School and the Jie School, often had conflicts with each other because of their different teachings and ideals
Long Ji saw that Li Changshou was extremely popular in Jie School and was even the "best friend" of the famous Fairy Yun Xiao. He reckoned that Li Changshou must be detested by the members of Chan School…
He should not get beaten up and chased out, right?
After all, Long Ji was still a young girl. At that moment, she had already begun to get uneasy. However, what happened next left Long Ji a little overwhelmed. They first headed to the two immortal mountains of the Middle Continent and found the Magu Cave. They saw a clean, beardless, and very friendly-looking elder.
Perfected Huang Long.
Li Changshou did not hide anything and directly said that he was here for the dragon race. He asked Perfected Huang Long to ask for a letter from Senior Guang Chengzi and took out Daoist Duobao's letter.
Perfected Huang Long asked, "You only need Senior Brother Guang Chengzi to write two words?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "That's right. It's best if you leave a wisp of Senior Guang Chengzi's aura behind. That way, you can represent Chan School's attitude."
"That's easy!"
Perfected Huang Long agreed readily and immediately brought Li Changshou and Long Ji to the Kunlun Mountain.
After finding the Jade Void Palace and paying respects to Guang Chengzi, Perfected Huang Long did not mention Li Changshou's purpose for coming. He directly took the matter into his own hands and gave the words written by Daoist Duobao to Guang Chengzi.
Guang Chengzi smiled as he raised his brush and wrote the word 'trap' and 'ascend'.
"That's it?"
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"Thank you, Senior."
"It's nothing." Guang Chengzi folded the book and returned it to Li Changshou with immortal power. He smiled and said, "The Heavenly Courts were established by the Dao Ancestor. It's only right for them to contribute."
Li Changshou thanked him repeatedly. Long Ji did not know what to say.
Are the two factions, Chan School and Jie School really that kind to the Heavenly Courts?
Long Ji naturally knew that all of that was just because of the Sea God's pride. After they left the Jade Void Palace safely and returned to the East Ocean, Long Ji took out his jade token and silently wrote a sentence.
"The Sea God has connections in all three sects. It's a surprise."
Li Changshou arrived at the East Ocean with Long Ji.
They saw that at a huge array formation in a deep valley at the foot of the spiritual mountain in the Aparagodānīya Continent, a few figures stood beside a treasure pool and attacked at the same time. They slowly sank a golden cicada that had yet to shed its skin into the bottom of the treasure pool.
The few of them looked like old Daoists. They were all wearing tattered long robes.
According to the rules of the spiritual mountain, the more tattered one's robe was, the higher one's status in the sect would be. That was so that they could be wary of oneself and not forget the fact that the Western Sect was poor.
Not far behind the old Daoists, there were two figures standing in each corner. Daoist Wen Jing was also there, watching the Golden Cicada in the Treasure Pool.
She felt a little sad and empathetic but she almost laughed out loud… The old Daoists said, "Jin Chanzi has been crippled."
"That Sea God actually has the strength to kill the Golden Cicada. Tell Wen Jing and the others be careful. Don't attack the Sea God directly. This person's powers are deeply hidden."
"He's a mysterious disciple of Ren School. I don't know why he hides his abilities."
The few of them spoke. After a few words, they fell silent.
Daoist Wen Jing was really surprised.
Sea God?
He had seriously injured Jin Chanzi with his own hands, and had beaten him up to the point that it was equivalent to reincarnating?
How is that possible? The Sea God's cultivation level should not have reached the Zenith Heaven realm. On the other hand, Jin Chanzi is a ferocious beast that has fought since ancient times. It is impossible for them to fight at the same realm…
Why did Jin Chanzi almost die? Daoist Wen Jing was puzzled. Moreover, the Sea God… Isn't he a civil official?
Daoist Wen Jing blinked.
An old Daoist priest gritted his teeth and cursed, "Are we going to put up with this? Teacher has said that Jin Chanzi is related to the rise of the Western Sect. The Sea God has cut off the great fortune of the Western Sect!"
"Even if we want to attack the Sea God, we can't find his main body. What's the use of killing his incarnation and his paper effigy?"
Another old Daoist priest said, "We can't touch the Sea God but can't we touch the people who are close to the Sea God?"
"Who?"
"The one who has a close relationship with the Sea God and has more karma with the Western Sect is…"
"Zhao Gongming of Jie School."
Upon hearing that name, the old Daoists beside the Treasure Pool fell silent again.
The silence lasted for a while until an old Daoist priest looked up and sighed.
"We can't defeat him. Another one."
Daoist Wen Jing could not help but roll her eyes. She leaned against the stone wall and waited for the disciples of the Saint to come to a conclusion.
She heard them mumbling for a long time, but they could not find a suitable target for revenge. Daoist Wen Jing could not help but snort coldly in her heart…
'As the Sea God's right-hand man, I don't even know half of his relatives and friends, let alone you guys.'
'Instead of nagging here, why don't you have the guts to go to Tushita Palace and find my beloved concubine?'
When she thought of the words 'my beloved concubine', Daoist Wen Jing's phoenix-like eyes became slightly narrower. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile…
The disciples of the Western Sect discussed for a long time before they decided on a plan to take revenge on the Sea God.
Daoist Wen Jing only used a moment to explain the plan entirely to Li Changshou's paper effigy, without missing a single detail…
Report chapter
Chapter 315 Dragon Heart in the Crystal Palace!
What a vicious plan.
Li Changshou was multitasking. One paper effigy brought Long Ji to the Dragon Palace, while the other paper effigy was in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. They sent away the mosquito that had just sent the message. Then, he began to think of a solution. Speaking of which, it was also his fault. Perhaps he had hidden it a little too much and caused the Western Sect to be unable to find a suitable breakthrough, thus shifting the attention to the structure of the Sea God Sect.
They were a second-rate force and a mighty sect with two Saints presiding over it. After pondering for a long time, they actually wanted to destroy the small Xiong Village of the Magihumans and attack the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect in Xiong Village!
They did it purely to vent their anger and take revenge.
Although that method was a little absurd, it made Li Changshou feel extremely uncomfortable…
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was not "steady" enough.
Previously, when he was young and frivolous, he had always felt that being "steady" was a comprehensive and flawless plan.
Now that his mentality had matured a little, he realized that in order to truly be steady when managing a faction, one should deliberately reveal a fake flaw and guide the enemy's actions to make them take advantage of that flaw, so as to give himself more time to deal with it.
Now was not the time to reflect on himself. He had to quickly think of a solution.
If the Western Sect wanted to destroy the Sea God Sect, they only needed to send a few ferocious beasts to kill the Divine Envoys and resident temple devotees of the Sea God Sect. They would be able to achieve an astonishing effect in a short period of time. Fortunately, Li Changshou… had prepared for it long ago.
The paper effigy in the rear hall immediately fled underground. The seven to eight other paper effigies had already begun to split up. He would move Xiong Village away in the shortest time possible and bring most of the Magihumans in Xiong Village to the East Continent. Then, he would gather the "elite" Divine Envoys in the "safe house" under the Sea God Temple.
Although the Western Sect was going to deal with the Magihumans this time, Li Changshou would remind the True Dragon Guardians that were stationed everywhere to temporarily retreat to the South Ocean…
In addition, in order to protect the outstanding underground ambushers who were hiding behind the enemy, Li Changshou even asked the resident devotees of the Sea God Temples of various places to post a notice.
"The Divine Envoys are going to concentrate on advancing their divine powers. Everyone, please offer incense at home."
After doing all that, Li Changshou still felt that it was not enough.
The matters of the dragon race had also reached a critical juncture. If he could not focus later and made a mistake, he might take advantage of the enemy. Although the Magihumans had "schemed" against him in the beginning, they had been trying their best to cheat him of his food and drink all these years. Ahem, they had been working hard to develop the Sea God Sect!
The Magihumans had made a significant contribution to Li Changshou's success in obtaining so much merit from incense offerings. Since he could protect them, he would not let them bleed for nothing…
After some thought, Li Changshou used a paper effigy that was in the Golden Immortal realm and brought a few Divine Envoys who had superb acting skills, for example, Xiong Laosan, who was hitting a woman in the middle of the night, to rush to the Netherworld together.
If the Magihumans were in danger, it would be reasonable for the experts of the Magi to protect them.
Li Changshou would not make the experts of the Magi work for nothing. He would not be stingy with the gifts that he should give them. He would order people to prepare whatever the Netherworld Magi lacked.
He just had to give them tens of thousands of spiritual beasts!
While preparing for the battle, Li Changshou brought Long Ji into the seawater and arrived at the ocean where the East Ocean Dragon Palace was.
Li Changshou said, "Wait. I have something that I have to deal with carefully first."
"Okay -"
Long Ji agreed obediently and stood behind Li Changshou, admiring the beautiful scenery in the sea.
No matter how deep and vast the four seas of the Primordial World were, there would always be some hazy light. Most immortals and Qi Refinement cultivators were proficient in the method of "secretly observing". They would observe things in the ocean as if they were appreciating flowers in the day. Not long after, Li Changshou adjusted his mindset and arranged all the matters in Xiong Village. Then, he called out to Long Ji,
"Alright, let's go to the Dragon Palace."
"Sea God, are you facing any problems?"
Long Ji said seriously, "I received Mother's instructions last night. Although the Heavenly Courts have very few Major Generals, they cannot let you, the Sea God, work alone. If there are any difficulties, please tell the Heavenly Courts. Um… That's what Mother said."
"Hahaha." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. If something happens, I will not be the only one holding the fort. I will prioritize the Heavenly Courts first!"
Long Ji blinked and suddenly realized… that the Sea God was really good with words.
Those words were just right. They were appropriate and full of depth. It almost just rolled off his tongue! Long Ji took out the jade token and immediately wrote down his findings.
She looked up at the Sea God's back and felt that he was unfathomable… in various ways. In front of them, there were dragons roaring. The seawater was boiling, and the fish fled in all directions.
The members of the dragon race, who had long known that Li Changshou had arrived in the East Ocean, sent a large number of soldiers to welcome him when he was still 500 kilometers away from the Crystal Palace.
At that moment, Long Ji heard a soft gasp from the immortal power barrier.
Long Ji stood on his tiptoes and leaned forward. He saw that the Sea God's expression was a little solemn. Moreover, the Sea God's gaze was unprecedentedly filled with determination.
"Sea God, are the matters regarding the dragon race difficult to handle?" "It's alright."
Li Changshou clenched his fists slightly. He was already determined to fight this battle well!
From today onwards, he would be known as a powerful minister in the Lingxiao Hall!
He did not expect that he, Li Changshou, could be so heroic!
Long Ji, who was at the side, keenly sensed the change in the Sea God's mentality. She could not help but feel excited.
Father said that the Sea God has a weakness. He is too focused on stability. He will only take action after thinking about it several times.
However, what I saw today did not seem like what Father… mentioned…
Before Long Ji could finish thinking about it, an expert from the dragon race arrived first. He laughed at the Sea God and bowed from afar.
On the other hand, the Sea God broke through in an instant. A moment ago, he was still full of pride. Suddenly… he squinted and smiled.
The dragon-headed elder shouted, "Sea God, how have you been!?!"
The Sea God answered, "It's all thanks to Elder Ao Jiao, I've been enjoying myself in the Heavenly Courts."
After saying that, the two of them raised their heads and laughed loudly. Their laughter echoed in the seawater.
This…
Long Ji was speechless.
He knew that there was an unwritten rule in the Primordial World. When two people met and did not know if the other party was an enemy or not, they would just laugh loudly. The longer they laughed, the less hostile they would be to each other.
How did the rules come about?
According to rumors, in ancient times, many Connate lifeforms would laugh happily when they picked up treasures. When other Connate lifeforms heard laughter, they would take a detour and rush to other places to pick up treasures…
Over time, such rules were established.
In ancient times, experts from all over the world would start laughing when they were a thousand kilometers away. If they were to go to a place where it was easy to cause fights and treasures, they would laugh and fly over…
Yes, it was reasonable and convincing. Long Ji pursed her thin lips and listened to the conversation between the dragon-headed elder and the Sea God…
"Hahaha! Sea God, quickly follow me back to the Crystal Palace. I will definitely drink 300 cups of wine with you today!"
"Is the Dragon King home? I still have a few important matters to discuss with the Dragon King." "Yes, yes. His Majesty is waiting for you. Hahahaha!"
Accompanied by such hearty laughter, Li Changshou and Long Ji were surrounded by the experts of the dragon race as they slowly walked towards the Crystal Palace.
Long Ji was still in a daze. She did not understand how the Sea God did it. He was acting like a completely different person from before.
Hence, Long Ji wrote on the jade token:
"The Sea God changes his emotions extremely quickly. His ability to put on a show is unparalleled."
However, Long Ji blinked and added, "Those who like to squint and smile are all strange… powerful people!"
Although I'm the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, it's not wrong to be more obedient when it comes to the Sea God.
Let's not talk too much for now. The dragon race's luck is at hand.
Li Changshou rarely felt nervous. Apart from facing the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Punishment, and the Great Daoist Master at the beginning, and cultivating the escape technique when he had just reached the Void Return realm, he had accidentally entered the Cave Abode of a pair of Perfected Immortal Dao companions and broken through…
That was not important.
Ahem, anyway, he could maintain a relatively calm mentality in most situations.
However, Li Changshou was indeed a little nervous during the trip to the Crystal Palace this time.
This scheme had been going on for so many years. It concerned the great merit that he had yet to obtain. To a certain extent, it had decided his future development. He could seriously interfere with the fluctuations of the survival index of the Primordial World!
However, it was precisely that nervousness that made Li Changshou tense up. His thinking became more acute and his thoughts ran through his mind faster. He entered the Crystal Palace and went to the Dragon King Hall.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean walked down the platform to welcome him. He and Li Changshou greeted each other and he then led Li Changshou to the platform.
The dragon race must have seen through Princess Long Ji's identity, as they had also prepared a seat for her at the banquet.
Seeing that Long Ji still wanted to stand behind him, Li Changshou smiled and said, "Sit. Don't let the Dragon King's good intentions down."
"Yes." Long Ji bowed and agreed. She puffed out her chest and sat behind Li Changshou.
She was naturally calm and composed.
"Dragon King." Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. "I came here today because I have something to tell you. Did Ao Yi tell you about the Immortal Peach Banquet?"
"My son has already told me." The Dragon King of the East Ocean stroked his beard and smiled. His dragon eyes were filled with vigor and he was not in his usual drowsy state.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean smiled and said, "Sea God, my son has been traveling everywhere recently. He has been talking to his elders in the East Ocean and telling them about the Heavenly Courts' Deity Positions… Did you give him these instructions?"
"Yes."
Li Changshou accepted it graciously and smiled.
"I just wanted to pave the way so that I won't feel awkward coming here today. I'm only saying this to let you know that I have no intention of fooling the dragon race."
The Dragon King of the East Ocean pondered for a while and looked down at the wine bottle in front of him.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry. He waited by the side for a while.
Amidst the silence, it was a contest but also not a contest.
Long Ji, who was at the side, held the jade token and noted down every word that the Sea God had said. She felt that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
At that moment, Long Ji seemed to have seen two black clouds gathering on the Sea God and the old Dragon King. It made her feel a little oppressed…
"Ah…" The Dragon King sighed slowly and picked up the wine bottle. His smile was filled with exhaustion.
"A toast to the Sea God."
"Thank you, Dragon King!"
Li Changshou raised his glass and returned the gesture. He took a sip of the wine and immediately looked serious.
"Dragon King, let me ask you. Let's not talk about the other three sects. Are there any key figures in the East Ocean Dragon Palace who dislike the Heavenly Courts?" The Dragon King said, "Sea God, you're making it sound too serious. Our race only has respect for the Heavenly Courts. The Heavenly Courts have helped my race several times and given us so many benefits. We are grateful. However… there are indeed many clansmen who are worried. They are worried that the Heavenly Courts is just another Western Sect. Most of our race's vitality has been lost. We can't withstand such a torment."
"Hahaha!"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Then today, I will dispel these doubts for the dragon race! Dragon King, why don't you gather all the elders in the East Ocean Dragon Palace now? I will tell all the elders about the joyous occasion today in detail. That way, you won't have to say it again."
"Oh?"
The Dragon King of the East Ocean was also interested. However, he did not ask further. He only smiled and said, "In that case, please wait, Sea God."
"Where are you, Prime Minister?"
A few turtle guards ran in from outside the hall.
At that moment, the Dragon King gave the order. In the Dragon Palace of the East Ocean, the Dragon Mother, the dragon princes, and dozens of elders with real power in the dragon race were gathered in the main hall of the Crystal Palace.
This scene made Long Ji's palms sweat…
Li Changshou remained calm and composed. When the upper echelons of the East Ocean Dragon Palace gathered, he first stood up and bowed. Then, he talked to Ao Yi about a short crosstalk that he had written in advance. Finally, he successfully diverted the topic to the matter of the dragon race ascending to the heavens…
"Everyone!"
Li Changshou stood in front of the platform and bowed to the dragons with a slight Dao salute.
"Now that the opportunities of the dragon race are in front of me and I have been conferred the title of Sea God of the Four Seas by the Heavenly Courts. I'm actually here to persuade you. I know that everyone is worried. I also know that the dragon race is unwilling to be loyal to any faction."
"The dragon race was once the ruler of the world in the ancient times. In the ancient times, they were proud and arrogant. Even today, they are still a force that could not be ignored in the Three Realms and the Primordial World!"
"Today, I will not mention those powerful people who are spying on the dragon race's essence energy, nor will I mention the so-called great luck and power. I will just say that it is related to the dragon race!"
"The dragon race will enjoy three benefits by being a part of the Heavenly Courts. One is merit, and the other is negative karma. The two are originally one, but they are not the same. Everyone, take a look at His Highness Ao Yi."
Ao Yi took the initiative to stand up and activate his merit. The almost overflowing incense merit and pure Heavenly Dao merit were complementing each other… Li Changshou continued, "I don't have to explain these two points. The third point is that the Heavenly Courts can protect the dragon race from the Western Sect."
"Sea God!"
A dragon general frowned and said, "The first and second benefits are important, why did you skip them?"
Another dragon elder said, "Since the Sea God is so straightforward, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. I have a question! How many Deity Positions can the Heavenly Courts give to the dragon race to allow us to escape our current predicament? Have you calculated it, Sea God?"
"A few hundred is definitely not going to be enough," Li Changshou said calmly. "However, since everyone wants to use the Deity Position to sweep away your negative karma, why can't those who are in position be replaced once every one thousand years or even hundreds of years? If the dragons take turns, why should you worry about the negative karma?"
The dragons were stunned.
Could the Heavenly Courts' Deity Position be replaced like that?
"The Heavenly Courts have strict rules, but they can also be used flexibly." Li Changshou smiled and said, "The Heavenly Dao is eternal and impartial, but there are many rules that can be used by us. Moreover, the Heavenly Courts' Deity Position is not eternal. Those in the low-level Deity Positions will be replaced and observed regularly. It is something that I am about to report to the Jade Emperor. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Many of the upper echelons of the dragon race were already moved. The elder who had raised the question bowed deeply to Li Changshou and looked ashamed.
"I'm inexperienced and not knowledgeable. Please forgive me, Sea God!"
"That's not all!"
Li Changshou laughed loudly and said, "In order to resolve the dangers faced by the dragon race, the Heavenly Emperor ordered me to go to the Fire Cloud Cave to meet the ancestors of the human race previously and take this treasure back. Everyone, please take a look!"
After saying that, Li Changshou took out the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram that flickered with golden light.
He waved his left hand, and the diagram spread out. In the Crystal Palace, it projected the entire scenery of the South Continent, and rivers surged out from it.
"I might as well inform everyone today that His Majesty has already ordered me to investigate the rivers, lakes, and ponds of the South Continent. In a few days, I will be able to confer all the titles of the water gods! The dragon race has been in charge of the four seas for a long time. You are good at water battles and water access. Are there more suitable candidates for the South Continent water gods than the dragon race?".
The moment he said that, all the dragons were moved. There were even many old dragons whose eyes were red… Li Changshou took the opportunity to chase after him and continued, "The dragon race ascended to the sky to follow the Heavenly Dao and obtain the righteous heart of the world. Today, I have specially presented the writings of the two disciples of the Saint who are in charge of the sect affairs of the Dao Sect, Chan School and Jie School!"
After saying that, Li Changshou took out the scroll that he had already written and handed it to Ao Yi.
Ao Yi slowly unrolled the scroll. The words 'Trapping The Dragons And Allow Them To Ascend to the Heavenly Courts' revealed two completely different Dao runes, causing the dragons present to be shocked. The benefits of the Heavenly Courts and the power of the Dao Sect!
A dragon elder whispered, "They're indeed the Dao runes of Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi."
Ao Yi held the scroll and presented it to the Dragon King. The Dragon King of the East Ocean took it with both hands and sighed.
The elegant, beautiful, and dignified Mother Dragon at the side said, "If it's really like what the Sea God said, why can't our race worship the Jade Emperor? However, even if the Sea God makes a Great Dao oath, how can the Jade Emperor's intentions… be guaranteed?"
"Why not?"
A clear voice sounded. Long Ji stood up and bowed to everyone.
"If the dragon race enters the Heavenly Courts to help the Heavenly Courts govern the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor will definitely not treat the dragon race unfairly. Now, the Heavenly Courts do indeed have a lot of difficulties. However, the Jade Emperor is trying his best to help. Everyone in the Heavenly Courts is united. With the help of the Sea God, who is a wise and intelligent person, it is only a matter of time before they prosper! If all of you were to ascend to the sky at this moment, it would be a chance for you to make a contribution. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have merit?"
"Your Highness." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Sit down."
"Okay," replied Long Ji obediently. She quickly sat back down, causing the dragon sons to look at her.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Mother Dragon, I'm only here today to express my stance in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. To be honest, apart from the East Ocean Dragon Palace, I'm worried about the other three Dragon Palaces. I'm afraid that there are moles from the Wester Sect. This is my last trump card… Please look here!"
As he spoke, Li Changshou took out a golden scroll from his sleeve and raised it high. It shone with a golden light that was tens of thousands of feet high, and rich Heavenly Dao power rippled out.
Li Changshou's hand trembled. The scroll was quickly unrolled, but it was blank!
"As long as the Dragon King and the elders agree to this matter today and swear that they will not go back on their word, If anyone has any worries, feel free to speak. Of course, I have to consider it carefully. In front of everyone, I have to write the guarantee of the Heavenly Courts on this decree and present it to the Jade Emperor. As long as it's sealed with the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, it would be approved by the Heavenly Dao. In that case, can you trust me and the Heavenly Courts?"
Report chapter
Chapter 316 Is Your Melon Definitely Going To Be Ripe?
Insane!
The dragon race is crazy!
On the cloud, Li Changshou could not help but cover his face with his hand in front of a group of old dragons. Long Ji, who was following behind him, tried to hold back her laughter. Ao Yi's delicate face was completely red.
What's wrong?
What else can it be…
That was because Li Changshou had made an emotional speech at the East Ocean Dragon Palace for a while. Then, he executed his schemes and directly conquered the core place of the dragon race— the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
The Dragon King of the East Ocean took the lead to swear loyalty to the Heavenly Courts and bet on the fate of the dragon race. Li Changshou had also written down some of the reasonable requests that the dragon race had made, on the decree. Previously, he had already called General Dongmu over and had the experts of the dragon race escort him back to the Heavenly Courts to give it to the Jade Emperor to take a look. Li Changshou did not have a 90% chance of success in the other three Dragon Palaces. For the sake of safety, he did not go there directly to persuade them. He did not want to alarm the Western Sect and ruin their plans.
Although the Dragon King of the East Ocean was the current leader of the dragon race, the Four Seas Dragon Palace remained independent.
Li Changshou pondered for a long time before deciding to use the East Ocean Dragon Palace as a foundation. Then, he would pull the battleships of the South Ocean and North Ocean Dragon Palaces to the Heavenly Courts.
As for the West Ocean…
It was a little troublesome. He would wait and see for now. The slogan meant that he had to work hard and fight for some spots.
Then, Li Changshou followed his plan and brought Long Ji to the South Continent to investigate the various water routes. Li Changshou had previously thought that the dragon race would send an elder to follow him. However, Li Changshou had completely underestimated the dragon's enthusiasm.
The dragon race had not only sent more than ten elders. Ao Yi had also been sent by the Dragon King to listen to Li Changshou's orders. The Dragon King had even invited three ancient elders who were guarding the Sea Eye to protect the Sea God's… paper effigy. After they arrived in the South Continent, Li Changshou had just checked a small waterway when the three ancient elders began to fly up and down.
First, an old dragon ran over and pulled Li Changshou to the mountain beside them. He pointed at the glistening stream and smiled. "Sea God, please take a look. I named this place the Hidden Dragon River. A River God title can be conferred!"
Then, another old dragon ran over and pulled Li Changshou to a nearby human village. He pointed at a small pond at the front of the village and asked with a smile, "Sea God, look at this lake. What should I name it?"
Just as he finished speaking, an old dragon shouted from afar, "Come and take a look! There's an extremely deep abyss here! The title of a Canal God should be conferred for this place!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
That's a well!
That's a well that the villagers had dug themselves!
"Everyone…"
Li Changshou could only try his best to remain calm. He explained tactfully, "We have to follow the rules. I can understand everyone's feelings, but there… there is a bottom line."
The old dragons smiled awkwardly. "I'm a little anxious. I'm indeed a little too eager. Sea God, please don't blame me." Li Changshou smiled and said, "The South Continent is a place where the destiny of the human race coalesces. You can investigate the water path and become a water god. It can improve the destiny of the human race, protect the safety of mortals, and accumulate merit for the local River God. This is a good thing and a serious matter. It's not just for the sake of the dragon race. Please understand and support me."
"I understand! I understand!"
"I will definitely support you!"
"In that case…" An elder from the ancient dragon race turned his head and shouted, "You little dragons should go back. We will protect the Sea God! Why are you all running around? Do you think you're good-looking? What if you scare these cute mortals?"
The group of old dragon-headed elders bowed in unison. They did not dare to say anything and hurriedly left on a cloud. Although it was a little inappropriate to say that, it was a disgrace! What a huge disgrace to the dragons!
An ancient dragon approached Li Changshou and chuckled. "Sea God, the three of us will be your guards from today onwards. My name is Ao Ao. I'm their second brother. This is Ao Fei. He's the sixth. This is Ao Bei. He's the eighth! If you can't remember our names, just call us No. 2, No. 6, and No. 8!"
Li Changshou cupped his hands and apologized, calling each of them "Senior" once. Without so many old dragons surrounding him, Li Changshou could finally feel more at ease.
Ao Ao took out a flying Dharma treasure and turned it into a small boat.
Li Changshou, Ao Yi, and Long Ji boarded the boat together. Then, they began the long "journey" of checking the waterways in the South Continent. The South Continent was vast and there were countless rivers and lakes.
It was not an easy task to investigate a river. It would definitely not be as simple as flying above the river, looking at the diagram in his hand, and then nodding and confirming that the river was still there before turning around to leave. How could such a perfunctory task obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao?
According to the rules set by Li Changshou, in order to investigate a river, one would have to first trace the source and find the origin of the river. They had to remember the various tributaries, the path of the river, and the location of the entrance to the sea.
Not only that, but one would also have to illustrate the rough shape of the river and the terrain near the river. They would also have to mark the depth of each segment, the rapid flow of the river, the blockages, and the sites that were prone to accidents.
Other than that, one would have to deduce the changes in the hydrology of the river every year, as well as the history of the river's transformation.
Before Li Changshou told the Jade Emperor about the matter, he knew that it was a huge and complicated task with a heavy workload. He might not be able to complete it in twelve years.
However, he had to do it. After that, Li Changshou reckoned that he would earn a lot of merits.
It was not a deliberate scheme.
It was reasonable for him to work hard and receive the Heavenly Dao's commendation. It was completely different from the effects of the toxic credit enhancement. Just like that, Li Changshou set off from the Coast of the East Ocean with the three ancient dragon experts that accompanied him. Following the Da Yu Hydrology Diagram, he held a numinous treasure immortal brush and began to investigate the waterways of the South Continent. The three elders of the dragon race were relieved to see that Li Changshou was so meticulous. They did not urge or disturb him. Instead, they hid themselves and did their duty as guards. However, that process was a little… boring for Li Changshou's followers.
The boat floated on the cloud and slowly moved along the river.
Long Ji was wearing a loose Daoist robe as he sat at the stern of the ship. At some point in time, her body was leaning forward and her legs were crossed. She held her face gently and was lost in thought as she looked at Li Changshou, who was writing and drawing in the straw shed on the small boat…
Ao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged at the side, rubbed his chin and glanced at Long Ji from time to time. He felt a little apprehensive. Sister-in-law?
Impossible. Why would Brother Sect Master be attracted to such a young girl, especially when Sister-in-law Ling'e is in the mountains? Although such a young girl is beautiful, she is not as outstanding as Sister-in-law Ling'e.
That's right. She's the daughter of the Jade Emperor. Could it be that the Jade Emperor is trying to matchmake them, and Brother Sect Master can't reject him?
Ao Yi pondered for a while. In just a short while, he had already imagined a scene of the "Heavenly Palace's Ultimate Love, My Twelfth and Thirteenth Immortal Wives"
At that moment, Li Changshou's voice sounded.
"Ao Yi?"
"Brother!" Ao Yi hurriedly stood up. Li Changshou did not even look back. He continued painting with the ink and said calmly, "Don't think too much. Her Highness Long Ji learned some tricks from me."
Ao Yi could not help but purse his lips and blink. His delicate face was filled with embarrassment.
Mind-reading? Brother Sect Master is indeed good at reading minds!
Li Changshou continued, "Return to the East Ocean Dragon Palace and borrow a small troop from the Dragon King. You will be in charge of leading them. I have already arranged for 100,000 members of the Heavenly Courts to train near the South Ocean, the East Ocean, and the North Ocean Dragon Palace. I have to draw various water routes here. Since I can't split my attention now, you shall supervise this matter. Don't let the members of the Dragon Palace get into a conflict with the Heavenly Soldiers. Look after those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Don't let them take the benefits of the dragon race and ruin the dignity of the Heavenly Courts." "Brother, don't worry!" Ao Yi cupped his fists and agreed. He immediately turned around to leave. A dragon elder appeared to protect Ao Yi as he returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
Li Changshou stopped writing and began to ponder. Then, he turned around and smiled. "By the way, Bian Zhuang will also bring a few Heavenly Generals to the Dragon Palace for a banquet. Remember to arrange for someone to entertain them. If you are still unhappy with him, you can punish him slightly. At the same time, you can let him know how powerful he is and restrain his temperament."
Ao Yi could not help but mutter, "Brother, how should I punish him?"
"You don't need me to teach you that." Li Changshou said helplessly, "Just get Bian Zhuang drunk and find a few ugly fish demons and prawns to surround him. When he wakes up, can't they just call him 'Official' in unison? Of course, I'm just giving an example. Bian Zhuang is now the deputy commander of the Heavenly River Navy. He can be considered a competent subject of the Jade Emperor. Don't go overboard."
Ao Yi's eyes lit up. He said firmly, "I will not disappoint you, Brother!"
He turned around and rubbed his palms together. He was prepared to go all out! After Ao Yi left, Long Ji blinked and thought about it. Finally, she came back to her senses and chuckled while covering her thin lips. She then took out his jade token and wrote: "The Sea God is not only stable and cautious, but he also has an interesting personality. Moreover, he's too evil. He actually deliberately set a trap for his deputy commander and set him up with a beautiful woman in the ocean…" "Long Ji." Li Changshou's voice drifted over again. "Some trivial matters do not have to be noted down. If others find out that I'm deliberately making things difficult for Bian Zhuang, Bian Zhuang's future will be bleak." Long Ji subconsciously sat up straight, and goosebumps rose all over her body. She was stunned.
How did the Sea God know what I had written in the jade token? This jade token was bestowed by my mother. It is also a treasure…
"Yes, I'll wipe it off now."
Long Ji hurriedly responded and wiped away the words in the jade token.
Li Changshou continued to draw the water paths. The smile on his face disappeared, and most of his attention was focused on the side, ready to deal with the disturbances that the Western Sect could cause at any time. The matter of subduing the dragon had to be rushed.
In the next eleven years, he only needed to find time to meet the Dragon Kings of the South Ocean and the North Ocean. As for the rest… he would let the dragon race figure it out themselves. Speaking of which, the Western Sect's were really slow in taking action…
Li Changshou was tensed up for half a month before he finally caught sight of the enemy.
Some strange people appeared in the Sea God Temples of various places, but the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village had already left. In the past half a month, Li Changshou had altered his previous plan. He had changed from 'hiding' to 'taking the initiative to lure the enemy'. He had allowed the elite Divine Envoys to leave the underground safe house and move about in the main Sea God Temple. In the original plan, the Divine Envoys of various places had put up a notice saying that the Sea God Divine Envoys were going to advance their divine powers. Li Changshou increased his efforts and left countless clues everywhere. Those clues pointed to the Sea God Temple and led the executioners from the Western Sect to the vicinity of Anshui City. The Sea God Temple that had been renovated was more than enough to accommodate more than 1,400 Divine Envoys. In the past half a month, every time Li Changshou scanned his Sea God Temple with his immortal senses, he could not help but imagine a classic voice from a program in his previous life. "Spring has arrived. It's time for the Magihumans to be active again."
"In Anshui City on the South Ocean, there are roars that are filled with power and gusto."
"Look, the Magihumans have walked out of their houses and gathered in the spacious square and backyard of the Sea God Temple. They are flexing their strong muscles that they are proud of. Apart from the houses and foundations, they have raised everything that they could lift. Based on this, it is clear how strong they are." "Strength is the best medicine for the Magihumans when they are facing unknown fears."
"These Divine Envoys do not rely solely on their strength to attract the attention of the opposite sex. They have their own unique skills."
"For example, singing, reading books, writing stories, and so on. They may gather in groups of two or three to hone their special skills as Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect. They compared the number of cities that they had taught…" In short, the Divine Envoys who were on vacation for the past half a month were very relaxed.
The reason why Li Changshou changed his plan was actually very simple. The Magi from the Netherworld! At that moment, there were dozens of real Magi mixed among the Divine Envoys. They were also pure ancient Blood Battle Magi! If any of the Magi were to be injured, there would be one less member. They rarely moved around in the Netherworld.
However, Li Changshou managed to invite nearly fifty of them this time! On that day, Li Changshou brought a few Magihumans to the Netherworld and arrived outside Fengdu City without any obstructions. He saw the two old men, Ox-head and Horse-Faced.
When they saw Ox-head and Horse-face, Xiong Laosan and the other Magihumans burst into tears.
When their emotions were invoked, Li Changshou began to explain softly about what had happened.
What kind of temperament did Ox-head and Horse-face have?
They heard that the Magihumans who were working for the Sea God were being targeted by the Western Sect and that the Western Sect vented their anger on the descendants of the Magi because they could not deal with the Sea God!
Afterward, the two Soul-Reaping Envoys were enraged on the spot. They took off their hoods and stomped their feet while cursing. Without a word, they carried a few Magihumans and quickly disappeared. In less than half a day, Ox-head, Horse-face, carried Xiong Laosan and the others and returned with dozens of angry and irritable males.
They followed Li Changshou back to the Sea God Temple and blended in with the Divine Envoys, ready to attack at any time.
If one were to ask why the Netherworld Magi were not afraid of the Western Sect, which had a Saint…
Their ancestor was Pangu. Who would not be convinced!?!
The Magi had offended countless mighty figures from ancient times. They relied on hunting to become the overlords of the land. Today, they were not afraid of the Western Sect at all.
At the same time, Ox-head and Horse-face represented the Grand Magus Priest. They were deeply grateful for the Sea God's concern for the safety of the Magihuman race. If Li Changshou had not stopped them, they would have brought another bunch of local specialties with them… That was probably the situation. Li Changshou naturally would not just watch from the sidelines. He silently prepared the paper effigy army. He could not rely on the Magi to fight this battle. As he included the paper effigies' surveillance system within a radius of thousands of kilometers around Anshui City, a few paper effigies activated their immortal senses at the same time. They combined the information and projected it at the bottom of their hearts. The people sent by the Western Sect had nowhere to hide. They were discovered the moment they appeared. This time, there were very few experts sent by the Western Sect. There were even fewer existences that were at the level of Wen Jing and Jin Chanzi. Most of them were demons and some remnant demons of the deep sea.
Clearly, the Western Sect felt that it was easy to deal with the Magihumans.
In just three days, hundreds of demons had appeared hundreds of kilometers away from Anshui City.
A few demons who were good at hiding had already disguised themselves as mortals and approached the Sea God Temple to obtain intelligence. After thinking about it, Li Changshou decided to leave the battlefield outside the city. Otherwise, the mortals in Anshui City would definitely suffer huge casualties. Hence, Li Changshou secretly discussed with Ox-head and Horse-face, and decided to take the initiative to attack. On the fourth day, at dusk, the demons outside the city began to gather. They were probably preparing to launch a sneak attack at night. Li Changshou was determined to attack first. He first sent a voice transmission to Ox-head and Horse-face, telling them to turn a Golden Immortal paper effigy into the size of an Divine Envoy of Xiong Village. Then, he shouted for a few Divine Envoys. Five to six burly men swaggered out of the Sea God Temple and walked around the lively market outside.
After shopping for a while, Li Changshou stopped in front of a melon vendor who was disguised as a demon.
He bent down to pick up a huge melon and tapped it lightly with his fingers. The demon melon vendor reacted quickly. He smiled and said, "Lord, are you thirsty? Just take it and eat it. May the Sea God protect you."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The blessing is wrong! Li Changshou sneered and said, "Is your melon definitely going to be ripe?" "Huh?"
"I'm asking you, is your melon definitely going to ripen!?"
The demon melon vendor was still confused.
Report chapter
Chapter 317 What Spiritual Beast? What Spiritual Beast Do You Want?
"Master, you must be joking. Our melons are planted in the soil. Are they ripe? If they are not, can I sell them?"
The great demon, who was disguised as a melon seller, reacted rather quickly. He rolled his eyes and nodded and bowed.
"In other words, your melon is definitely ripe?"
Li Changshou sneered and gently tossed the melon in his hand.
"If this melon is not ripe, what will you do?" "This, this… Lord… I'm a melon vendor who knows my place. I can't possibly sell an unripe melon to you!" A cold sweat broke out on the demon melon seller's forehead as his limbs trembled.
The great demon did not know why he was so afraid of a Magihuman. They had come this time to destroy the Magihuman Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect…
However, now, it was just a matter regarding melons. After just hearing a few questions from the other party, the great demon almost slipped into a trance as if he had been struck by some curse! The demon melon vendor asked softly, "Sir, can I… not sell this melon?"
"Huh? Not selling? Are you implying that I'm being a tyrant and bullying you?"
Li Changshou's "bear" paper effigy widened his eyes. His left hand was as fast as an illusion. He grabbed the collar of the demon melon vendor and lifted him up forcefully.
The demon melon vendor's reaction was slower by half a beat. By the time he wanted to dodge, his vision was already blurred. His demonic powers had completely lost their senses!
Demon Soul Seal!
Li Changshou released the other party's collar with his left hand and pushed his palm out.
He did not seem to use too much force when striking with his palm this time. He pressed it on the melon vendor's chest, but a faint green wave appeared on it. A black shadow emerged from the back of the melon vendor and was smashed onto the pile of melons.
The melon seller's body immediately withered. His aura was gone, and his soul was gone too. He was already an ice-cold corpse.
The black shadow was currently restrained by Li Changshou's immortal power. It revealed its true form on the melon pile. It was a demonic beast that looked like a badger…
"Demon? Take him down!"
Li Changshou shouted loudly. The Divine Envoys behind him immediately rushed forward. A few arms that were thicker than an ordinary person's thigh reached out and grabbed. They almost tore the great demon apart! Over the years, perhaps because they had been overly nourished, the divine power of the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village had more or less improved. Of course, their strength was way inferior to Little Lingli, who had been beaten by her father in the middle of the night.
At that moment, the demon that had transformed into its original form and had its demonic soul sealed suddenly understood something!
The matter regarding the ripeness of the melon seemed like a simple "mortal farmer problem" or a complicated "peddler's credibility problem". It could also be a philosophical question, or it could be a secret signal that was exclusive to the locals… No matter what, he had been tricked!
He had been distracted by the other party and did not have any chance to retaliate!
Humans are so cunning!
Li Changshou flicked his finger again, and the great demon's cultivation level was instantly crippled. The surrounding mortals reacted three beats slower and were already screaming.
However, something was amiss…
"The Sea God has appeared!" "Lord Divine Envoy has captured a demon!"
"Wow, such a huge demonic beast. After I roast it, I can have them for many meals!" Li Changshou's lips twitched. Why are the mortals in Anshui City becoming more and more unreliable? This is a Heaven Immortal realm demon!
If there are not many human Qi Refinement cultivators who can fight, this great demon would be able to destroy a town in a moment!
Although doing that would cause the great demon to be plagued by negative karma and they would definitely be struck to death by the Heavenly Punishment…
Forget it.
How can I blame the devotees for reacting wrongly? I was the one who had protected them too much.
At that moment, the few demons that were hiding nearby and sneaking into the city had already taken advantage of the chaos to hide in various corners.
Li Changshou had already taken the initiative to attack. How could he let them off? Li Changshou immediately shouted, "Tell everyone not to learn the new teachings. Come out and search the city! Demons have entered the city. There must be other demons!"
A Divine Envoy at the side asked, "Lord! What should we do with this demonic Badger?"
"Roast it outside the city! Remember to add some scallions, ginger, and garlic!"
The other demons could not help but shiver when they heard that.
A great demon could not hold it in any longer. It tore apart its shell and revealed its true form. It let out a shrill cry in the air and spread its wings to fly out of the city!
A single stone caused a thousand ripples!
The door of the Sea God Temple was pushed open. Hundreds of strong Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect were carrying hammers, broadswords, and clappers. They were shouting loudly at various places. He shouted for the mortals to squat down and quickly return home.
They told them not to let the demons run away and that the silver eagle would definitely be nourishing!
The remaining three demons panicked. In particular, there were dozens of murderous auras that could not be hidden, among the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect. Those auras were very strange. They were like the natural enemies of the demons, making the demons' hearts tremble!
"Let's go!" The few demons tore their leather pouches and transformed into their true forms. They fled the city frantically. The small area of Anshui City was in chaos. A few demons were fleeing in a hurry. Hundreds of the strongest Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect were chasing after them with all kinds of weapons. All of them were running as fast as the wind.
In order not to kill the mortals, the men from Xiong Village and the women even jumped onto the roofs and sped away.
The mortals in the city… were a little excited.
They spread the news and called their friends. They miraculously overcame the fear that stemmed from their instincts. Under Li Changshou's gaze, which was filled with helplessness, they followed the Divine Envoys on the roof and laughed and fooled around.
This…
It seemed that he had to create a large-scale education for safety knowledge within the Sea God Sect!
A moment later, hundreds of Divine Envoys rushed out of Anshui City.
The few demons received orders and flew at a steady pace. They baited the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect and headed towards a dense forest outside the city.
There was naturally a trap laid by the demons in front of them. However, with the Sea God's constant voice transmission, those Divine Envoys were not afraid at all!
Dozens of pure-blooded Magi who were closer to the Connate Dao Body sneaked to the front and used the chaotic aura of the Magihumans to conceal their presence. A demonic aura filled the forest.
Outside the city, the Magihumans were ferocious.
Li Changshou calmly followed the plan. There were already a few paper effigies hidden under the forest.
He would add a little bit of incapacitating agents and a little loneliness.
The executioners from the Western Sect had formed a simple encirclement in the forest. A few of the strongest demons were hiding at the back and had already discussed the opportunity to attack.
They wanted to wait for the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect to rush into the middle of the ambush. Then, they would surround them from all directions and attack at the same time. They wanted to resolve the battle as soon as possible and retreat after succeeding. Then, they would go back and receive their rewards. Seeing how naive the Magihumans were and how they only knew how to charge, the demons could not help but look down on them. The Magi were simple-minded!
However, the demons were soon stunned…
The change happened too quickly and caught the demons off guard!
As soon as the hundreds of Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect rushed into the forest and arrived at the periphery of the demons' encirclement, a Black Bear Spirit suddenly emerged from behind a tree. It turned its head and roared, "I understand! I'll charge at the front!"
After saying that, he ran wildly and charged towards the hundreds of Divine Envoys! A few thousand feet away, a white-robed demon jumped out from the treetop and shouted, "Kill!"
The demons lying in ambush immediately rushed out and chased after the Black Bear Spirit!
When they saw their companions rush out, most of the demons did not have time to make any judgment. They immediately appeared and formed an army of more than 300 demons! They either flew into the sky or burrowed into the ground, or sped off to fight the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect! The other half of the demons either sensed that something was amiss and wanted to retreat, or sleeping soundly and were completely unconscious. The encirclement that the demons had set up previously had been resolved for no reason. The demon commanders were so anxious that they stomped their feet and cursed… Li Changshou, who had just arrived outside the forest, chuckled when he saw that.
The disorderly mob that was temporarily put together was indeed full of loopholes.
The black bear spirit and the white-robed male demon had only secretly extracted demonic aura from the "demonic badger" and engulfed the two paper effigies. They had used escape techniques to sneak into the enemy's encirclement…
It was a basic trick.
Paper effigies flew out of Li Changshou's sleeve. They hugged the array foundation and used escape techniques to circle around.
Li Changshou's Golden Immortal realm paper effigy, did not participate in the battle. He continued to monitor his surroundings and did not dare to relax.
The soldiers in front were about to clash.
The dozens of Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect at the front jumped to the left and right at the same time!
The Magi, Ox-head and Horse-face, who were unidentifiable after taking off their hoods, suddenly sped up. Their bodies were as fast as phantoms, and huge pits were blasted into the ground. The aura of a true Magus erupted!
Forty-eight streams of blood auras soared into the sky like smoke. The afterglow of the setting sun was dyed red!
The demons were shocked and panicked! At that moment, pillars of light rose from various parts of the forest. The pillars of light gathered at the center and instantly formed a huge array formation that sealed a radius of dozens of kilometers!
At the base of the twelve array formations, three paper effigies with the strength of late-stage Heaven Immortals sat cross-legged. They were prepared to inject their immortal powers into the array foundations and enhance the array formation at any time to ensure that they would not let a single demon escape! In Anshui City, there were hundreds of Magihumans from Xiong Village running around, searching for any demons that had been left out…
Under the setting sun, rivers of blood flowed in the dense forest. The great demons were torn apart by the Battle Magi with their bare hands, and all kinds of corpses could be seen everywhere. The dozens of Battle Magi who were fighting while bathed in blood revealed ferocious looks. The blood in their bodies became thicker, and they regained the glory of the ancient battle! Even the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village, who had half of the witch race's bloodline flowing in them, turned pale. They hid in the corners and formed a defensive battle formation… They shivered and did not know what to do.
An hour later…
The forty-eight Magi each carried two to three demonic beast corpses that tasted good in their memories. Under the escort of the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village, they went to a beach by the sea. They took a bath and skillfully set up a roasting rack. The aroma of meat filled the air within a 50-kilometer radius…
Ox-head and Horse-face put on their masks and sat in the corner of the beach, watching the people of their race sing and dance.
The sea breeze blew at her soft mane, and she said solemnly, "Ox, do you remember? In those years, we chased after the demonic beasts and ran happily under the sunset."
"Ah, Horse!"
Ox-head sighed deeply. "Such days have finally returned."
"How did happiness disappear? Neigh-"
"Compared to that, I want to know more about the benefits of these demons joining a sect. Moo~"
He heard a voice behind him.
"Most of them were forced by a sect."
Hearing that familiar voice, Ox-head's face trembled and he immediately stood up. Li Changshou squeezed out from the trunk of a tree not far away. He bowed to Ox-head and Horse-face and said, "Thank you for coming to help."
"Sea God, you're too polite." Ox-head rubbed his hands and chuckled. "How can this be considered… Ahem, well, forget about the thank-you gift. Previously, my young friend Changshou from the Immortal Du Sect said that you will also have seasonings…"
Horse-face could not help but roll his eyes. "Your skin is getting thicker and thicker. Awesome!"
"What? What spiritual beast? What spiritual beast?!"
Ox-head widened his eyes. "Horse-face, how can you not know how to act appropriately!?! Nonsense! We are here to help today. No matter how distant those Magihumans are from us, they are still part of the Magi! Horse-face, how can you do that!?! Do you still have a conscience? Do you still want the pink spiritual beast that our little friend Changshou of the Immortal Du Sect raised?!" Horse-face was at a loss for words. He was about to faint from anger. "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Li Changshou smiled and took out two treasure pouches. He gave them a few jars of seasoning and said, "To be honest, I've already sent someone to the Immortal Du Sect and the various towns to purchase a batch of spiritual beasts. Please stay here with your fellow Magi for a few more days. The spiritual beasts would arrive one after another. Let's see if the other party has any follow-up attacks."
Ox-head shook his head and smiled. "Then, let's respect the Sea God's orders! Hehe… Oh, no, Moo ~"
"Get lost! The reputation of the Netherworld has been destroyed by you!" Horse-face could not help but curse. He raised his long legs and kicked Ox-head. Ox-head laughed and jumped to the side. The two Soul-Reaping Envoys quickly fought. In an instant, their headgear and shoes flew everywhere, and the starry night sky was the same color as the seawater.
Li Changshou was also amused and left a hearty laugh on the beach.
Li Changshou chatted with Ox-head and Horse-face for a while. A Battle Magihuman brought over a large piece of excellent roasted meat. Ox-head and Horse-face were not stingy. They distributed about… 0.1% of the spices and seasonings to the Magihumans.
The fragrance of spices quickly exploded on the beach, causing many of the Magi to scream. Ox-head picked a piece of the most delicious roasted meat and sent it over. However, Li Changshou shook his head awkwardly and refused.
He had no choice. He had some obstacles in his heart.
He ate until the moon appeared in the middle of the sky. Li Changshou called over a hundred Divine Envoys who were waiting in the distance and carried the Battle Magi who had eaten until they could no longer move back to the Sea God Temple…
Li Changshou predicted that the Western Sect would not make any moves next. After all, the Western Sect had already revealed their motive for taking action and had lost a small portion of their combat power. When risk and reward were completely incompatible, anyone who was rational would not continue…
However, Li Changshou was still confident. He maintained the surveillance network that was thousands of kilometers away from the Sea God Temple. He did not relax at all. Half of his attention was focused on the Sea God Sect, while the other half was focused on investigating the waterways of the South Continent. Naturally, some of his attention was still focused on the Little Qiong Peak.
He could not be careless since that was where his roots were.
For the next two months, the Magi ate and drank continuously in Anshui City. They had tasted all kinds of delicacies in the human world. Perhaps because they felt that it was a little embarrassing to eat and drink for free, the Magi found something for themselves to dothey started to train the Magihuman Divine Envoys. After a few days of training, the Divine Envoys could not get out of bed or walk. All of them cried and screamed, as if they had not used their muscles properly. Li Changshou did not care much about that. It would be beneficial to increase the combat power of the Divine Envoys. After careful consideration, Li Changshou specially brought Long Ji to Anshui City and let Long Ji "discover" the existence of the Magi and Magihumans by chance. In secret, Li Changshou handed thirty immortal peaches to the paper effigy and secretly brought them back to the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou had to think about how he could make everyone eat the peaches happily. There were three main solutions…
A, pretend that those were ordinary immortal peaches. B, tell Sect Leader Ji Wuyou about it then claim that they had been bestowed by the Sect Leader.
C, knock out Master and Junior Sister one by one and feed peaches to them. To be safe, Li Changshou decided to go ahead with the fourth plan. He decided to brew a portion of the immortal peaches into wine and claim that he had unintentionally created an immortal wine that could not be brewed again. He would then give it to his Aunt-Master, Uncle-Master, and Grandmaster to taste.
He could naturally tell his junior sister and master the truth and let them enjoy a complete immortal peach each.
"Is this immortal peach useful to Elder Wan Linyun?"
It just so happened that he had refined a few comprehension-type Spirit Pills previously. This time, he sent them to the elder as well.
A Great Poisonous Immortal who's in the Golden Immortal realm…
Tsk, just thinking about it excites me.

Chapter 318 Little Qiong Peak's Longevity Peach
In the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak, he lit up two Dharma treasure lamps refined from the Night Pearls of the East Ocean, making the narrow room, where he could not see if it was day nor night, seem more ethereal.
He threw out a paper effigy and asked it to play the Erhu. Then, he played the melodious and soothing song, 'Two Springs Reflect the Moon'.
There were a few immortal peaches on the table that were filled with spiritual energy.
He picked up a dagger and slowly rotated it on the immortal peach, making the thin peach skin turn into the shape of peaches that ordinary Golden Immortals could not eat.
The reason he decided to peel the skin of the immortal peach was not because he felt that the skin of the immortal peach was not nutritious. He just wanted the paper effigies beside him to know that his peach… was juicy.
The boring diary of Li Changshou.
Li Changshou took a bite of the tender and juicy peach flesh, and experienced the comfort of the spiritual energy slowly spreading in his mouth. He could not help but let out a few soft moans.
As expected of a Connate Spirit Fruit. This mouth-feel, this taste!
Indeed, it was a little less interesting than when the paper effigy ate the immortal peach on the Three-Immortal Island…
At that thought, Li Changshou recalled the scene of the fairy peeling the peach. It was gentle and exquisite. A ray of sunlight shone on her hand. The flesh of the immortal peach was far less crystalline than her fingertips…
Crack!
Li Changshou raised his hand to hit his forehead and shook his head hard.
Karma, I'm just going to eat the peach, yes, I'll eat the peach. After slowly nibbling a peach, Li Changshou put away the core and carefully experienced it. One could tell what a Spirit Fruit was as soon as they ate an immortal peach. The mysterious Dao runes within it seemed to contain the remnant charm of the Great Dao when the world was first born.
Li Changshou quickly came to a conclusion.
The immortal peach would benefit his master's cultivation level if his master ate it. It could also increase his master's lifespan by hundreds to thousands of years. It would not cause any harm to his master.
It was not a problem for Ling'e to have two of them either. It could increase her lifespan and raise her cultivation level. It could purify her immortal power, make her immortal body free of impurities, and make it become graceful. It could also make her skin fair, smooth, and more lustrous…
There were indeed many benefits.
Li Changshou had already transported the immortal peaches back to the sect for three months. Today, after confirming that the matter of him tampering with the immortal peaches had not been exposed, he prepared to distribute them.
Calculating the time, the "longevity wine" that he had refined previously could be released from the cellar.
Li Changshou looked at the remaining three immortal peaches on the table.
He had originally planned to eat a few more of them himself, but he realized that they did not have any obvious effects on him apart from being delicious. He decided to leave some for Ling'e and the others.
The so-called longevity wine was naturally the fruit wine brewed from the immortal peach. With Li Changshou's efforts, he could seal 80% of the immortal peach's spiritual energy. He had refined two jars of this fruit wine. He would give one to Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, and one to Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Grandmaster Jiang Lin'er, and Exalted Wang Qing. After careful calculation, he realized that Aunt-Master Jiu had already enjoyed three immortal peaches…
Yes, this is very necessary. If I don't give them more nutrients, what should I do if I cause my Little Aunt-Master, whom I have "benefited greatly from" to lose weight!?!
Li Changshou went straight to the hidden wine cellar outside the Pill Chamber and took out two jars of fruit wine.
He got to work.
He dipped his finger in some wine and analyzed it carefully. He realized that the medicinal properties and spiritual energy were much stronger than he had expected. It did not lose too many "nutrients". Li Changshou took out a few small wine jars and divided one of the two large jars of wine into three portions. He took out a messenger paper crane and invited Uncle-Master Jiu Wu over. He sent the three jars of longevity wine out and reminded Uncle-Master Jiu Wu repeatedly to give the other two jars to his master and master's wife. "What wine is this? Look at how nervous you are."
The short Daoist carried the three jars of wine and sniffed them curiously. He smiled and said, "Master and his wife don't usually drink much. Why don't you keep them for Little Jiu?"
"I've already prepared a portion for Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu." Li Changshou smiled and said, "This wine can increase one's lifespan. I accidentally refined it with some spirit herbs. Uncle-Master, don't ask further. This is just a token of my filial piety to Grandmaster and Uncle-Grandmaster. It will probably be difficult to have another one in the future."
"Ah, okay!"
Uncle-Master Jiu Wu smiled and agreed. He did not ask further.
Although the spirit herbs that could increase one's lifespan were very precious, for some reason, even if Li Changshou took out two bottles of pills and said that they were the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills of the Grand Supreme Elder, Jiu Wu would not be surprised…
He had gotten used to it. It could not be helped.
After watching Jiu Wu leave on a cloud, Li Changshou used his immortal senses to carefully observe for a while. When he saw Uncle-Master Jiu Wu send the two jars of longevity-enhancing wine to the Wang Qing Residence, he felt relieved.
I wonder when Aunt-Master Jiu will come out of seclusion…
Before Li Changshou could finish making up his mind, the mountain breeze brought about a faint yawn from afar. He scanned with his immortal senses and saw a window on the second floor of the chess room being pushed open. A beautiful figure was stretching her back.
Before her eyes could open, she had already twitched the tip of her nose. She seemed to have smelled something and smacked her lips… "Give me wine…"
There was no one else with such a nose.
Li Changshou laughed and placed the remaining wine inside a silver wine pot before floating away.
In the chess room, the old woman, who was in charge of taking care of Jiu Yushi, used Earth Escape and disappeared.
Jiu Yushi had just stepped onto the path of cultivation. The spiritual energy of the Immortality Peach was too strong, so she could not take a single sip. She could only miss this opportunity…
Li Changshou rode a cloud and flew near the chess room.
"Aunt-Master, are you out of wine again?" Jiu Jiu, who was lying weakly on the window sill on the second floor, suddenly stood up and looked outside. Her gaze quickly locked onto the wine jar in Li Changshou's hand.
"Little Shoushou!"
Jiu Jiu cheered and jumped out of the window, looking very touched. She reached her hands out and started to eat.
Li Changshou felt like teasing her. He took half a step back and put the wine pot back into his storage Dharma treasure.
Jiu Jiu pounced too quickly. With a cry, she fell onto the grass behind Li Changshou. She slid forward by half a meter and crushed the grass, causing the region to suffer from severe disasters.
For some reason, Jiu Jiu remained motionless and pretended to be dead silent.
It was extremely similar… She would lie down for a while after falling.
"What's wrong?"
Li Changshou said warmly. He tapped a white cloud and lifted Jiu Jiu up.
"Ah…"
Jiu Jiu faced downwards, her body sinking into the white cloud. Her limbs stiffened, and she started a lifeless speech.
"I'm clearly an elder, but I have to rely on a junior like you to support me. Ah, I've failed as an immortal… I've been cultivating for so many years, but compared to you, I'm completely useless. Ah, I've failed as an immortal… Senior Brother and Senior Sister are clearly a pair. Little Junior Sister reincarnated with karma. Look at me. Ah, I failed as an immortal."
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He felt that his Aunt-Master was indeed under too much pressure.
Just as he was about to comfort her, a small hand reached out from the cloud.
"So, quickly give me wine to drink and let me be drunk!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Aunt-Master's Thousand-layer Trap. "Aunt-Master, let's talk about serious matters."
"Huh?"
Jiu Jiu tried her best to raise her head and look at Li Changshou. When she saw Li Changshou's serious expression, she quickly put away her dejected and useless expression. She jumped up from the white cloud and sat cross-legged. "What serious matter?"
Li Changshou took out the wine jar and handed it to Jiu Jiu. He smiled and said, "So far, this is the best fruit wine that I can brew. I originally brewed two jars but I sent one to his Grandmaster and Aunt-Master. That jar was meant to be a token of filial piety. Remember, don't drink it like ordinary immortal wine. Its effects are extraordinary. It's best if you take it on three separate occasions. Every time you drink it, you will enter seclusion."
"Um…"
Jiu Jiu blinked and pursed her lips. Her face looked a little unnatural.
She suddenly looked away from the wine jar and stared at Li Changshou. She asked softly, "Little Changshou, tell me the truth. Do you have… any designs on me?"
Li Changshou was also caught off guard. He smiled and said, "Aunt-Master, what nonsense are you talking about?".
"You don't harbor any designs on me?"
"Aunt-Master, what are you disappointed about?"
"Hehehe." Jiu Jiu pursed her lips and chuckled. Then, she cleared her throat and said seriously, "I was thinking that if you had any ulterior motives, I would give in to you. Anyway, I feel that you're not bad. In the future, I can still get wine from you openly. My Dao heart is about to develop an inner demon from eating and drinking for nothing! Or you can find something for me to do and help you with planting all kinds of beans!".
Li Changshou thought for a while and said, "Aunt-Master, you don't have to feel bad. However, since you have mentioned it, I happen to be lacking some help. There's no need for you to do the physical work of planting beans. Aunt-Master, you're also beautiful. You're one of the few fairies in the sect. You can't work with a hoe. In that case… Aunt-Master, help me collect some thousand-year-old spiritual tree sap. I'll make paper effigies. However, Aunt-Master, please keep this matter a secret. Do not mention it to anyone else."
Jiu Jiu pouted and suddenly complained aggrievedly, "You're really willing to let me work!"
"Well…"
"Hehe, I'm just joking." Jiu Jiu quickly calmed down and patted her chest. "Don't worry, Disciple-Nephew. In the future, making tree sap will be my main job! Is a thousand-year-old tree enough? I know that some of the old trees on some peaks are about to become spirits!"
Li Changshou silently shifted his gaze away and recited the painting of the Empress of the Hundred Beauties in his heart to clear his thoughts.
"Aunt-Master, remember to drink it on three separate occasions. There are three other types of wine here."
"Yes, yes! Let me try it first… Oh my, what wine is this? It tastes so different. Did you add medicine inside?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He did not have any medicine. He only had a few immortal peaches, the kind that was formed from Connate Spirit Roots.
Li Changshou did not expect that the effects of the immortal peach would be so outstanding for cultivators who were not at the Golden Immortal realm!
Jiu Jiu, who had just finished her seclusion, drank the wine that was equivalent to the effect of an immortal peach and entered a meditative state again. The immortal power in her body was extremely abundant and allowed Jiu Jiu to advance one small realm after another.
After Jiu Jiu went into seclusion, Li Changshou invited his master to eat another one.
Qi Yuan was originally half a step away from the Perfected Immortal realm. However, after consuming the immortal peach, he advanced on the spot and officially reached the end of the Earth Immortal realm- the Perfected Immortal realm. The path ended just like that. He had reached the peak of his Immortal Life!
Qi Yuan sat there and was not happy. Instead, he felt empty and helpless. He looked down at his hands.
He was already at the Perfected Immortal realm, but his strength was equivalent to the late-stage Essence Immortal realm of the Heaven Immortal Dao…
His lifespan had not increased much. It seemed to be the same as when he had just entered the Turbid Immortal realm.
The increase in lifespan from advancing to the next realm was not as good as the bonus in lifespan from consuming the Immortality Peach. The latter had increased his lifespan by about six to seven hundred years…
Is this the entirety of my life?
Li Changshou did not expect that the advancement of a Turbid Immortal would not increase his lifespan.
He hurriedly asked his master to consume another pill. The effect of raising his cultivation level was not very obvious, but his lifespan was increased by another hundreds of years.
The effect of the immortal peach was quite good.
Hence, Li Changshou silently took out the third peach…
Qi Yuan waved his hand and hurriedly said, "Changshou, don't give it to me! Enough, enough! Keep this treasure for your junior sister!"
"Master, I still have some," Li Changshou said seriously. "This item comes from the Heavenly Courts. Master, don't mention it to anyone. I had put in a lot of effort to obtain it. I'll leave this one with you first. You can use it after digesting the other two peaches."
Qi Yuan sighed and said, "The only two things that I've done right in my life are to accept you and your junior sister…"
"Master, don't think too much." Li Changshou smiled and said, "There are still many days to come. Master, if you go to the Heavenly Courts to gain some merit, your lifespan will increase again. In that case, Master, you will report to the Heavenly Courts in another decade or so. "I will help you secretly make arrangements to see if you can become a mountain god or land god. Then, I will place your territory in the Immortal Du Sect. In that case, Master, you can cultivate in the mountains while receiving merit to increase your lifespan."
Qi Yuan was stunned. "You can do that?"
"Of course." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Let me make the arrangements. Master, don't worry. If you need to cultivate, go look for Master's wife. Ahem, find Aunt-Master Jiu Yushi to chat."
Li Changshou did not finish his sentence.
If the immortals do not have enough money, we can start from scratch. At most, we can give Meng Po more benefits. When Meng Po scoops up the soup, we can give her more spoons.
After comforting his master, Li Changshou walked around Lingle's straw hut.
When he realized that Ling'e still did not show any signs of coming out of seclusion, he placed the treasure pouch containing the three immortal peaches on her hand and left a note.
After that, Li Changshou went to the spiritual beast enclosure and called Xiong Lingli, who was reminiscing about her friendship with the spiritual beast that was waiting to be slaughtered. He casually threw a peach over. Xiong Lingli giggled. She wiped the peach and took two bites.
"Thank you, Cousin. Wow, this peach is so sweet!"
"Yes, eat them all."
Li Changshou said and began to observe openly. Soon, Li Changshou discovered something strange in Xiong Lingli's body. The spiritual energy that should have turned into Dharma powers in the young girl's tower-like body had turned into blood energy!
Psht!
Chi
Xiong Lingli's body expanded at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. She tore her battle dress!
Under her bulging muscles, a boundless aura surged… "Cousin!"
Xiong Lingli widened her eyes and said anxiously, "Lingli has become stronger again!"
"Yes." Li Changshou smiled and nodded. "The world is dangerous. It's not bad to be strong."
Xiong Lingli pursed her lips. Her cute face was filled with grievance. She raised her head and cried. She looked like a child who weighed 250 to 300 kilograms… Li Changshou comforted her and rode a cloud back to the Pill Chamber.
He took out another messenger paper crane. This time, he wanted to invite Youqin Xuanya over for a chat…
At the same time, on Three-Immortal Island, in the warm pavilion that was covered in clouds and curtains, the fairy, who was meditating and cultivating, slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the portrait hanging on the wall for a while before pursing her lips and smiling…
Then, she sighed.
She did not understand why her mental state was so complicated.
Could it be that Eldest Uncle-Master is plotting something?
She kept thinking about it and felt that she should not have done that. Yet, she felt that she should have done so.
After much deliberation, she found that her mind was in a mess. That figure became clearer in her heart.
Forget it. I'll ask Teacher to explain my doubts to prevent any mistakes.
If I have that intention, I will not avoid it.
However, if someone else is plotting against me, wouldn't he be happy for nothing?
As he thought about it, the fairy's figure disappeared. A gentle breeze brushed past her, and she sighed softly.
Report chapter
Chapter 319 The Sect Master's Bewitchment
Three for Ling'e, three for Master, and three for Youqin… Li Changshou roughly calculated the number of immortal peaches he could use. He realized that if he did not try to use the immortal peaches to refine pills, he would waste some. The immortal peaches he brought back to the sect were more than enough.
To be safe, the Sect Leader could not send the immortal peach directly. After all, the Sect Leader…
He knew too much! Li Changshou even felt that the Sect Leader knew something that he did not know. Every time he predicted the Sect Leader's reaction, there would be slight deviations.
If he could refine pills that could replicate the medicinal effects of the "immortal peach", Li Changshou would naturally offer some to the Sect Leader and the sect. He would help some Perfected Immortal elders who were about to reach the end of their lifespans increase their lifespans.
Other than that, there were many mistakes. In his previous life, Li Changshou had already experienced the principle of 'If you give someone help during times of need, they will be grateful to you.'
After handing over the peaches, Li Changshou realized that his Toxic Junior Sister was the easiest to deal with. There was no need to explain anything.
Li Changshou grabbed the peach and she raised her hand to swear that she would enter seclusion after eating it.
That made Li Changshou a little worried. He was worried that she would go down the same path as before she became an immortal, where she only focused on cultivating and did not know how to consolidate her Dao base, causing her Dao Fruit to be a little weak.
Youqin Xuanya was still far from the Golden Immortal Tribulation. There was no need for her to worry.
It would not be too late to secretly guide her in cultivation after his situation in the Immortal Du Sect became more stable.
After thinking about it, apart from the 'paper effigy's social circle', Li Changshou only had a few trustworthy Dharma treasures, ahem, good friends in the Primordial World… After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, Li Changshou realized the importance of having friends. Every time he thought about how he would be the only one on the Little Qiong Peak after tens of thousands of years, he would still feel that something was missing even if his cultivation level was high and his safety was high. "He does not like crowds, but he wants to see liveliness in his own world. When he feels a little tired, he would take a few glances from afar and feel that he's in the midst of a commotion."
Therefore, Li Changshou would help those who had formed a good relationship with the Little Qiong Peak as long as they did not have any karma.
At that moment, he was riding a cloud that was neither high nor low. He was floating towards Pill Tripod Peak to give Elder Wan… peaches.
There was a brocade box slung on his wrist. There were three immortal peaches, a few side dishes, and a little bit of longevity wine in the brocade box.
Today, Li Changshou would use the 'Flame of Heart' immortal sense poisonous pill as a guide and secretly guide Elder Wan Linyun with the Grand Pure Pill Dao that he had mastered.
When Elder Wan reacted, he would use the chance to receive pointers from the experts of Ren School to conceal it. Then, he would take out the "Enlightenment Spirit Pill" and the immortal peaches.
If he did not explain anything and only sent pills and immortal peaches, Elder Wan would most likely not pursue the matter. However, it would easily leave a thorn in his heart… Li Changshou thought about it carefully for a long time before deciding to take some risks himself. He took the initiative to reveal some information to Elder Wan Linyun to dispel the doubts in his heart. After entering Pill Tripod Peak and seeing Elder Wan, Li Changshou bowed. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Although Elder Wan's kind smile was hair-raising…
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Elder, have you been well recently?" Elder Wan Linyun nodded with a smile and invited Li Changshou to take a seat.
He placed a few dishes one the table, took out a pot of good wine, followed by two to three Poison Sutra excerpts. Four hours passed just like that.
Li Changshou's plan went quite smoothly. Elder Wan Linyun quickly realized that Li Changshou's attainments in alchemy were beyond his understanding. Li Changshou took out the Flame of Heart and shared the refinement and improvement process of the Immortal Sense Poison Pill with Elder Wan Linyun… "Changshou." Elder Wan Linyun was filled with emotions. He smiled coldly and sighed. "Your attainments in the Dao of alchemy are not something I can compare to. It really makes me feel gratified. I knew that you had such comprehensive abilities and potential. However… aren't you a little too fast?"
"Well, I had some luck."
Li Changshou looked out of the window and deliberately lowered his voice. He said in a low voice, "Elder, don't tell others that I have received the teachings of an expert of Ren School and the three volumes of alchemy. Recently, I have refined some Spirit Pills that can help cultivators improve their comprehension and break through bottlenecks. I have specially come to offer them to you, Elder!"
As he spoke, Li Changshou took out a few porcelain bottles and placed them in front of Elder Wan Linyun.
Elder Wan Linyun's gaze slowly changed from gratification to relief.
"Alright, alright… I know that you have a bright future in alchemy. It's enough to let you live comfortably for the rest of your life."
The old man waved his hand and said, "This pill is so precious. The path to immortality is long. You should use it yourself. Even if you give it to me, it will be difficult for me to take another step forward. Cultivation is like climbing a mountain. My mountain is only this high."
Li Changshou frowned and bowed deeply to Elder Wan Linyun.
"Elder, the Dao is endless, and there is a barrier in your heart. If you are hindered by the barrier, it will be difficult for you to take a single step forward. Elder, please accept these pills. If you have the intention to take another step forward, perhaps these pills can help you!"
Elder Wan Linyun frowned slightly. His eyes remained calm as he said, "Alright, don't…"
"Elder!"
Li Changshou buried his head deeper and said in a clear voice, "Elder, if you did not guide me on the Dao of alchemy, how would I be able to enjoy my current glory!?! Please accept my kind intentions, Elder!"
Elder Wan Linyun frowned slightly and said, "Get up. If you continue to be so emotional, you don't have to come next time." "I wouldn't dare!"
Li Changshou immediately looked up and smiled at Elder Wan Linyun.
Elder Wan Linyun was already fiddled with the few Spirit Pills. He could not bear to part with them. Clearly, he valued alchemy a lot.
Seeing that, Li Changshou took out three immortal peaches and naturally handed one to Elder Wan.
"Elder, try it." "Yes." Elder Wan casually grabbed the immortal peach. His gaze did not leave the porcelain bottle. He opened his mouth and bit it. His entire body froze like a stone statue…
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Elder, how is the peach? You've already eaten. You can't turn around and chase me away!"
Elder Wan Linyun frowned and glared at Li Changshou. "Where did you get this peach?"
"It's a gift from an expert, a gift from an expert. Anyway, it's not from a scam. Elder, don't worry."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Elder, you should go into seclusion after eating them today. These three peaches and one Spirit Pill are enough for you to break through to the first or second realm. You can become a Golden Immortal."
"If you can break through to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible, it will be the best thing for the Immortal Du Sect. You will have an endless lifespan, and you will be able to live forever. Wouldn't it be wonderful for you to study alchemy and poison forever?"
Elder Wan nodded slowly and took another bite of the immortal peach. He said coldly, "What other preparations have you made? Take them out."
"One more thing. It's about the medicinal effects of these few Spirit Pills."
Li Changshou waved his sleeve and placed dozens of bamboo slips in front of Elder Wan Linyun. Li Changshou said seriously, "Take a look at these before you use the pill. If I've understood something wrong, I can correct it in time." Elder Wan Linyun was speechless. "Elder, you can't tell anyone about this. I want to cultivate in peace. I don't want to… Huh?"
Li Changshou paused. Elder Wan Linyun nodded with a complicated expression. At that moment, Li Changshou frowned and said, "Elder, I have some enlightenment. I'll meditate here for a while!"
"Sure!"
Elder Wan Linyun raised his hand and pointed at Li Changshou. A light green barrier surrounded Li Changshou. If it were any other place, Li Changshou would usually remain calm and multi-task to secretly search for the source of the sudden impulse.
However, since he was with Elder Wan, he did not need to go through so much trouble. Li Changshou's mind sank to his main body. There seemed to be a blurry light in front of his eyes. He carefully sensed the spiritual perception that appeared in his heart, but he did not obtain anything. There was only… a feeling of being watched.
Li Changshou quickly captured that there was a layer of mysterious Dao runes around his essence soul. The Dao runes originated from the Big Boss Taiji Painting that the Pagoda Master had mentioned.
Someone was spying on me but was blocked by the Taiji Painting?
No, that's not right…
The Taiji Painting had been seen through! Otherwise, I would not have sensed it so strongly. What happened? The two Saints of the Western Sect had attacked? Have I been exposed just like that?
That's not right. If the Western Saints have found me, I should have sensed extreme danger. It should not be just a matter of "something happening". Not long after, Li Changshou no longer felt anything in his heart. It was as if his previous senses were just an illusion.
This…
Li Changshou was shocked.
He quickly bade farewell to Elder Wan and rushed to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
This time, he could not be bothered to ask for the permission of the elder in charge of external affairs. He walked straight to the portrait of the Saint and took out the three incense sticks on the side of his hand. He kowtowed three times seriously.
The portrait of the Saint swayed gently, and a corner of it floated up slightly. A wisp of Dao runes did not disturb anyone. It condensed into two words in Li Changshou's heart.
"Everything's fine." Li Changshou felt much more at ease. Clearly, the Saint knew that the 'Taiji Painting' warning had been broken. How much information did the words 'Everything's fine' contain… Li Changshou bowed in front of the portrait for an hour and thought carefully.
At that moment, he could only make two simple deductions.
Firstly, a Saint was spying on him and broke the cover of the Taiji Painting. However, the Saint stopped him in time. That was why the Saint said that everything was fine.
Secondly, it could be that a Saint had seen through him. However, the Saint felt that it was fine, so he said that everything was fine.
The second option was very likely to lead to problems in the future. There was no need to discuss the first option.
Could it be that the person who looked at me just now was the master of the Jade Void Palace or the Green Touring Palace?
If I make bolder guesses, could he be… the old master of the Purple Cloud Palace?
Why?
Why are you looking at me?
Li Changshou had many options in his heart. He kept thinking and eliminating them. In the end, he decided on sixteen possible scenarios. Most of them were related to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation…
Just as Li Changshou felt that something was amiss, his heart surged.
This time, the message he received was rather clear. He was very familiar with the impulse.
A distinguished guest had arrived at the Sea God Temple. Li Changshou did not dare to delay. His spiritual will landed in the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. He looked at the Divine Envoys who were cultivating the battle techniques of the Magi in the front and back courtyards. He searched around, but there was nothing unusual. Why are there so many strange things happening today.. Suddenly, he heard a voice that was deliberately suppressed beside the statue.
"Changgeng… Changgeng? Can you hear me? Changgeng? If you can hear me, reply by making your statue jump!" Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He had to make the statue move!
He used his spiritual will to look at the source of the voice. There was a faint black shadow there. The shape of the black shadow… was slightly plump.
Li Changshou remembered that voice. It belonged to the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, Daoist Duobao.
However, why is such a big shot looking for me so sneakily?
There is something abnormal about this matter. It is most likely a trap.
Li Changshou's statue remained motionless. An old paper effigy that was in the Heaven Immortal realm emerged from the ground. It was ready to show itself at any time.
However, just as Li Changshou's paper effigy appeared, a huge hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed his paper effigy's arm. Without any explanation, it pulled him into a familiar… hole.
Based on his insight, the slightly plump Daoist Bai Jing in front of him was really Daoist Duobao.
After all, it was a unique mystical ability, Void Lord.
"Changgeng!"
Daoist Duobao pulled Li Changshou's paper effigy and squatted down. He looked around worriedly and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
"You're in big trouble!"
Li Changshou held his breath and focused, but he did not panic. He remained calm and asked, "Senior, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What else can it be?" Daoist Duobao said anxiously. "To tell you the truth, I just left Green Touring Palace and immediately rushed over."
"Do you know that Junior Sister Yun Xiao went to the Green Touring Palace to look for Master!?!"
Li Changshou was confused. What does this have to do with me?
"Well, I wonder… what urgent matter does Fairy have?"
Daoist Duobao blinked and chuckled.
"Little fellow, you call me senior, and you call Junior Sister Yunxiao Fairy. No! No! From today onwards, you will call me… Hmm… male immortal doesn't sound good either…"
Li Changshou was still in the mood to joke. He heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his hands. "Immortal Elder?"
"Yes, yes. It's just that it sounds a little distant. In the future, just call me Senior Brother."
Daoist Duobao coughed and did not give Li Changshou a chance to retort. He immediately explained the entire situation. "Previously, Master and I were eating peaches and listening to songs in the palace… Ahem, Master was teaching me how to cultivate hard. Junior Sister Yun Xiao suddenly came and scared me so much that I swallowed the core of my peach!"
"Junior Sister Yun Xiao said that she had doubts and wanted Master to clear her doubts. Master did not dare to be careless. Junior Sister Yun Xiao rarely asked questions, but every question she asked would take Master a long time to answer and she could easily retort… As expected, Master could not answer the question Junior Sister Yun Xiao asked today."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Fairy is so powerful that even the Saint is stumped."
"You're being too polite!"
Duobao put his hands in his sleeves and squatted in the corner of the cave with Li Changshou. He muttered, "It's not the problem of my junior sister that is troubling the Saint. It's you, Changgeng."
Li Changshou's smile froze. Could it be…
Duobao sighed and said, "What Junior Sister Yun Xiao asked seems to suggest that she has fallen in love. There are always thoughts in her heart, and she would always think of someone. There are also traces of that person in the Great Dao. Logically speaking, she has been cultivating for countless years. She should not have been so agitated. She is worried that she has been schemed against and wants Master to help her investigate."
"Then?" Li Changshou could not help but ask.
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, "Master's deduction was blocked by the Taiji Painting. He also personally attracted the Immortal Vanquishing Sword. While the Taiji Painting was distracted, he cut through the power of the Taiji Painting and saw… You." Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The case was solved!
His previous impulse was actually because the Grandmaster of Heaven used the Immortal Slaying Sword to poke him from afar!
The Primordial World was really too dangerous! "Hehe, are you afraid?"
Daoist Duobao bumped Li Changshou with his shoulder. "Don't worry. Master said that Uncle-Master insisted on protecting you and isolated his deduction again." "However, Master also said that he only took a glance at you and knew that you would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. You are also fated with Jie School. Moreover, Uncle-Master Li would definitely not use such a thing to plot against the disciples of the Dao Sect. He told her not to worry. Do you see that? Master was speaking up for you!"
Li Changshou could not help but be puzzled.
Why did the Grandmaster of Heaven…
Duobao smiled and said, "However, Junior Sister Yun Xiao is really not easy to fool. She even asked Master a few questions about the Love Tribulation. Master did not know how to answer her. Think about it. As the Sect Master, he can't lose face in front of my junior sister. That's why he said something mysterious…" "Next, Junior Sister will definitely look for you and ask you five questions. You have to answer according to what I tell you. You have to be in the same situation as Master's prediction. That way, your relationship with Junior Sister Yun Xiao will be more stable. You can also take care of my master's pride. Do you understand?" Li Changshou frowned and muttered, "Senior, if I say that I don't understand…" Daoist Duobao glared at him and stood up. He raised his left hand in the air and shouted, "Where is the Immortal Vanquishing Array Diagram!?!"

Chapter 320 What Did You Think Of When I Came Here Today? Today, You Came Here To Solve My Thoughts.
In Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou stood in the forest with his hands behind his back and pondered quickly.
The Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords are hanging above me, asking me how long it has been.
The fairy is as wonderful as the clouds. Why is she using the name of the Saint?
Yes, the description of this mental state is too tactful. A conventional expression would be…
Li Changshou was speechless. His hands were like claws, and he had nowhere to put them. As his body twitched, he gritted his teeth. What the hell!
Is the Saint going to pull me into Jie School?
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was targeted at Jie School. There were countless casualties in Jie School. The Ten Absolute Arrays began to lose control, Zhao Gongming died tragically, the Three Xiao Immortals died tragically in the battle with the Saint in the Nine-Turns Yellow River Array, and more than half of the immortals of Jie School in the Ten Thousand Immortal Array had died!
How many of the eight disciples and seven immortals were in one piece? The Grandmaster of Heaven was truly enraged. In his anger, he wanted to destroy the world to refine the wind, fire, water, and earth. In the end, he was imprisoned by the Dao Ancestor! Wouldn't he be sending himself to the God roll if he were to go with Jie School now?
Although he had already walked ahead of the God roll and become a fourth-level legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, he had also advanced three levels. In theory, he was no longer affected by the God-Conferment Tribulation.
However, this matter was really not safe.
Today, Li Changshou finally understood why Master Zhao was so righteous, why Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were so playful, and why Daoist Duobao was so carefree…
Why is the entire Jie School so unruly? It's all because of the higher-ups!
Ahem, stable.
What is this?
Li Changshou raised his head and sighed. The Saint next door had given him a mission. It seemed that the Saint had already tacitly agreed to lend him to them like he was a tool.
Calm down, calm down. You can't panic at such a time!
Li Changshou silently recited the 'Steadiness Sutra' in his heart. The Hundred Beauties series slowly revolved around him. Li Changshou's essence soul sat cross-legged and meditated. His Dao heart quickly calmed down.
At that moment, the first thing that Li Changshou thought of was not how ridiculous that matter was, but his situation.
He was a disciple of Ren School and a god of the Heavenly Courts. He could be considered an unknown hidden Golden Immortal in the Primordial World. However, compared to Fairy Yun Xiao, he was no different from a dim star compared to a pure white moon.
From the five issues mentioned by the Saint, Li Changshou realized that…
The Saint might have been a little too theoretical when it came to matters between men and women.
However, could relationship issues be reasoned out with logic?
Dao nature and human nature were originally related to each other.
The so-called Dao nature was the compatibility between Qi Refinement cultivators and the Great Dao.
It was often said that the longer one cultivated, the more ruthless and destructive one would be. In fact, it could be understood as fusing with the Dao and increasing one's Dao nature. As a result, one would view everything from the perspective of the Dao.
The so-called human nature could be understood as the spirituality of all living beings. It was the character and personal desires of the Qi Refinement cultivators.
Li Changshou had read a book written by Big Boss Fuxi. In it, he had discussed the effects of Dao nature and human nature on Qi Refinement cultivators. Li Changshou regarded it as a classic.
There were some words:
"Connate lifeforms mostly had Dao properties, while Postnatal lifeforms mainly had human nature and spirituality."
Therefore, it was an extremely difficult task to make Goddess Yun Xiao, who was a Connate life form, develop 'romantic feelings', which were led by human nature.
Li Changshou could sense the process of Fairy Yun Xiao's Dao nature decreasing and her humanity increasing. However, the process was very slow and the extent of it was not huge…
Therefore, no matter how he thought about it, his relationship with Fairy Yun Xiao was purely mutual admiration. He could barely be considered a confidant of hers.
Of course, Li Changshou had to admit that Fairy Yun Xiao had too much karma. Moreover, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was in front of him. He was deliberately suppressing it and avoiding having a good impression of her.
However, it was impossible for Fairy Yun Xiao to fall in love with him now.
There must have been someone who had given Fairy Yun Xiao, who did not understand such things, a hint that changed how she felt towards him from a vague feeling to romantic feelings.
That person… might very well be the Great Daoist Master.
However, regardless of whether it was the Grandmaster of Heaven or the Great Daoist Master, who really understood Fairy Yun Xiao? Who would feel that Fairy Yun Xiao did not understand romance?
However, Li Changshou knew that she really did not understand.
Although Fairy Yun Xiao was strong and had cultivated for a long time, she was only a clumsy newbie in this field.
Fairy Yun Xiao had unintentionally shown her goodwill to him a few times, causing his Dao heart to flutter. However, each time, Fairy Yun Xiao would smile and pass by him. She would inadvertently reveal that there was still a huge distance between the two of them…
Li Changshou concluded simply that if he really answered the five questions according to the Sect Master's arrangements, there would be three problems in front of him.
Firstly, Fairy Yun Xiao would most likely get conflicted and be stuck in a dilemma.
Secondly, he would be trapped by the karma of Jie School. He had to do his best to plot against the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
Thirdly, when he interacted with Fairy Yun Xiao to a certain extent, he would fall into an awkward situation where there was nothing to talk about. That was because Li Changshou's understanding of the Great Dao was too shallow compared to Fairy Yun Xiao. How could he take into account the Saint's face and make Fairy Yun Xiao happy so that he would not affect his cultivation pace?
It would be difficult!
Li Changshou carefully recalled the five questions and standard answers that Daoist Duobao had given him. He could even imagine the situation in the Green Touring Palace…
The Grandmaster of Heaven sat in the clouds. His clear voice drifted and landed in the ears of Fairy Yun Xiao, who was troubled. "Yun Xiao, look for that person and ask him five questions." "What is Yin and Yang in the path of the Great Dao?"
"In the midst of everything, where could one live?"
"What are the differences between the same species of all living beings?"
"There is an end to everything in this world but what will not end?"
"What do I want today?"
"If he answers, 'Everything in the path of the Great Dao is Yin and Yang.'; 'In the midst of everything, one's heart is full of desires,'; 'The same species of all living beings were one and the same.'; 'Everything in the world will come to an end, but one's will will never end.';
Today, you have come to resolve my thoughts.'; Then, this person is your destined Dao companion. He can go with you to the Great Dao and enjoy romance."
From the five questions and answers, it could be seen that the Grandmaster of Heavenly Dao was indeed extremely profound and could directly interpret the Great Dao.
Should I change the answers?
Li Changshou suddenly recalled the scene of a map with four immortal swords chasing after him and threatening to kill him. He immediately shivered.
At that moment, his paper effigy was still being pulled by Duobao. He repeatedly reminded him of the five answers and asked him to internalize them one by one. He could not memorize them, lest Fairy Yun Xiao changed the order.
Li Changshou sighed softly. He already had a solution in his heart.
His main body left the sect through the Earth Meridian Teleportation Array under the Little Qiong Peak and headed towards the East Ocean.
He calculated the direct path from Three-Immortal Island to the Immortal Du Sect and found a seaside town with pleasant scenery. He stood in a peach blossom forest and quietly waited for Fairy Yun Xiao to come.
He took the initiative to go out to avoid exposing the location of the Immortal Du Sect to Daoist Duobao.
He used his main body… because the Saint was watching!
If he used the paper effigy to fool him, the purpose of the Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords would not be as simple as a warning!
In the cave, Daoist Duobao had already taken out the mirror that he had seen before. He took a deep breath in front of the mirror and used his mystical abilities to display where Li Changshou's main body was.
Daoist Duobao's eyes lit up. He looked at the white-haired old immortal beside him and then at the young Daoist. He could not stop laughing
At that moment, Daoist Duobao pulled Li Changshou's paper effigy and headed towards the East Ocean. He hid where Li Changshou was.
Before Li Changshou's main body met Goddess Yun Xiao, the paper effigy…
"Eldest Senior Brother?"
A gentle voice floated over from the distance. Two streams of light flew out and turned into two beautiful figures. The one on the left was dressed in a golden chiffon dress and a simple phoenix crown. With a belt around her waist, she looked graceful and charming. Her figure was tall and her aura was domineering. Several golden ribbons swayed around her, giving her an otherworldly aura.
She was the head of the female immortals of Jie School, the Goddess Jin Ling, one of the four inner sect disciples.
The one on the right was dressed in a long grass-green dress and wearing a cloud-shaped hairpin with tassels. Her long hair was divided into two sections that hung in front of her, and her figure was like that of a young girl. Her figure was exquisite, and she held a horsetail whisk in her hand. She looked calm and indifferent, as if she did not care about anything
Li Changshou had seen that expert before. She was the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, one of the four inner sect disciples of Jie School.
Alright, three of the four inner sect disciples had come. They were all hiding in Daoist Duobao's Void Cave.
What are you doing?
Blind date?
Li Changshou immediately felt immense pressure. He really wanted to ask the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du to bring the Pagoda Master over.
He waited and waited, but there was still no sign of Yun Xiao. Instead, Daoist Duobao had
School.
First, they called him 'Master'. Goddess of Fire Spirit and the Goddess of Golden Light led dozens of immortals from Jie School over.
He heard a few more people saying, "Eldest Senior Brother". There were people from Penglai Island, Fire Dragon Island, and Nine Dragons Island.
Li Changshou tactfully expressed that Senior Yun Xiao might be unhappy. Daoist Duobao smiled calmly and made the hole in the ground… deeper by a few layers.
Then, everyone looked at Li Changshou benevolently.
Li Changshou could only sigh slightly. Fortunately, he had already dealt with it previously. He had allowed his main body to conceal his true appearance through the "physical method" and used a few layers of illusions…
Most importantly, Li Changshou could vaguely sense that the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting seemed to be fluctuating. Most likely, the Grandmaster of Heaven was also watching
It is impossible for the Saint to…
Impossible. Definitely impossible.
"She's here! She's here!"
The Goddess of Golden Light suppressed her voice and shouted, "Senior Sister Qiong Xiao sent a voice transmission. Senior Sister Yun Xiao has gone out!"
The crowd in the cave was shocked. A few immortals from Jie School who were familiar with Li Changshou sent voice transmissions to the paper effigy in the cave.
A few immortals from Jie School, who already had partners, began to discuss how to put the wedding characters and couplets together…
Li Changshou thought, Are they really that free?
Since things have come to this, don't blame me for being ruthless and paying the Jie School back in their own coin!
Li Changshou had already made up his mind. Later on, he would use 90% of his ability to deceive and report the experience of the custom of Dao companions of Ren School to the immortals of Jie School!
Whether the Dao companions of Jie School would increase in the future would have nothing to do with him, the disciple of Ren School.
He was forced to come up with such a solution!
In the cave, Li Changshou's paper effigy said, "Fellow Daoists, I'll focus first."
After saying that, his paper effigy closed his eyes and focused. The dozens of immortals around him praised him.
In the peach blossom forest, Li Changshou pulled himself together. He took out a jade flute and played a melodious tune.
"In your heart, fly freely ~".
A white cloud stopped in the distance and quickly descended. Yun Xiao… had arrived.
The cloud that carried a white-robed fairy landed. Li Changshou turned around and realized that the sounds had stopped.
There was no need to say that she was exceptionally beautiful with her bright eyes and soft lips. There was no need to praise her flawless bearing. Just by standing there and revealing a gentle and comfortable smile, she could make others forget the flow of time and wish for time to freeze at that moment. The sea breeze blew, and her long hair and skirt fluttered gently as she moved towards him.
Fairy Yun Xiao pursed her lips and asked, "Why did your true body come here?"
Li Changshou was just about to say that he had been singled out by the Saint when he felt two knives being placed on his paper effigy's neck.
At that moment, the immortals of Jie School in the hole in the ground were lamenting in dismay. Yun Xiao was extremely intelligent. Just a detail was enough for her to deduce many situations.
However, Li Changshou smiled and sighed.
"I was a little restless and I wanted to go out for a walk. Only now do I know that this agitation is because I'm here to meet you."
In the cave, a group of male immortals were shocked. Many female immortals' eyes lit up.
"Heh…"
Yun Xiao chuckled and floated over from the cloud. Li Changshou made an inviting gesture. The two of them had a tacit understanding and strolled around. Li Changshou smiled and said, "Both of us don't like to go out. However, both of us have walked out today. I'm afraid something will happen." "Perhaps I affected you." Yun Xiao was a little apologetic and said, "Previously, I went to ask Teacher to explain. Teacher had deduced your situation and that should have made you feel uneasy."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Seriously, Fairy Yun Xiao's magnanimity made him feel ashamed. However, Li Changshou could only smile and say, "Oh? The Sect Master actually deduced me personally? I'm really flattered." Yun Xiao chuckled at Li Changshou's exaggerated tone. "I have already secretly used the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice to conceal the heavenly secrets of this place. Teacher will not be able to hear you say that." Li Changshou thought, They are under our feet!
Speaking of which, I'm willing to say that Senior Duobao's mystical ability is superb.
"Whether the Saint hears it or not, we have to respect him," Li Changshou said seriously. "Those who do not become Saints, he will just be ants. We can only transcend after becoming a Saint. In this world, the six Saints are six tall mountains. Both of us are in the shadow of the mountains."
Fairy Yun Xiao nodded slightly and said gently, "I have never heard of your Dao heart."
"The Qi Refinement cultivators of my generation all seek to transcend the world and the Great Dao to find their true selves." Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and waved the jade flute gently. "I naturally can't avoid this 'tastelessness'."
Yun Xiao smiled and said, "According to you, I'm just a laity."
At that moment, another knife was placed on the paper effigy's neck. The Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, who was unwilling to reveal his name, said coldly, "Don't change the topic. Talk about that quickly. At the same time, let us broaden our horizons."
The male immortals of Jie School in the cave agreed.
At the edge of the peach forest, Li Changshou blinked.
Fairy Yun Xiao asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
What else could it be? I've been kidnapped!
"Fairy, you look really good when you smile." Li Changshou sighed. "I racked my brains and thought of reciting poems to match the scenery, but I realized that the poems I know are not even half as beautiful as you. I can only give you that compliment."
In the cave, many immortals from Jie School silently took out their jade tokens to take down notes…
Fairy Yun Xiao could not help but look to the side. Her gaze was still gentle. "Why are you saying such things today?"
Li Changshou said, "Fairy, do you know what peach blossoms mean in the human race?"
Yun Xiao pinched her fingers and deduced. Soon, she smiled in understanding. Then, she put her hands behind her back and said, "Since your heart is throbbing… Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Fairy, please go ahead." "What is Yin and Yang in the path of the Great Dao? In the midst of everything, where can one live? What are the differences between the same species of all living beings?" Li Changshou pondered for a while and took out the standard answer.
Full marks for the opening exam.
However, Fairy Yun Xiao hesitated for the last two questions. She looked at Li Changshou as if she was thinking about something, but also seemed to be telling him everything.
Li Changshou looked at her calmly. His eyes were filled with peace and warmth.
Yun Xiao pondered and said, "Your answer is not bad…"
"Fairy, do you have any other questions?"
Li Changshou took the initiative to hint that Yun Xiao did not seem to have received such a signal. She shook her head gently. Yun Xiao said, "Actually, this is a question given by Teacher. You should answer as Teacher said. I roughly understand that I have entered the calamity. Actually, after I returned to the island, I decided to look for you because I already know the answer." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Fairy… can I call you Yun Xiao today?"
"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded slightly. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. She raised her hand and tidied a section of black hair beside her ear. She said softly, "You can only shout here. You have to be careful in front of my siblings."
Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and the two of them continued to stroll in the forest. However, Li Changshou had already blown the horn to retaliate against Jie School.
"Yun Xiao, why don't we talk about how we feel about each other?"
The first step was to avoid the important matter and take the initiative!
