chapter 365

Crash!

The sound of water droplets appeared again, and the blankness disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and the scene turned into that of the spacious and magnificent interior of the main hall of the Holy Mother Palace. Li Changshou shook his stiff body. His blank eyes quickly regained their focus. His essence soul shook his head gently in his body. “Eh?”

The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda trembled and sent a puzzled spiritual will.

The Great Daoist Master beside him naturally sensed that something was amiss. He turned to look at Li Changshou and then at the Goddess sitting quietly on the throne.

The Great Daoist Master’s cultivation realm was not far from the Saint realm. He could naturally see the smile on the Goddess’ lips and capture the obscure Dao runes that flashed past.

Something interesting seemed to have happened… The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows slightly and did not say anything else. He only played with the pearl in the brocade box. It was a Connate pearl that did not have much spirituality or power. Instead of refining it into a hidden weapon-type Dharma treasure, it would be better to comprehend the lingering charm of the Great Dao on it. He might be able to comprehend some small mystical abilities.

It was really a Connate trinket.

Li Changshou was still holding onto the brocade box. He had just placed it down carefully.

The Great Daoist Master naturally saw the change in his expression just now.

The Great Daoist Master raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s brocade box. He opened it naturally.

“Don’t be rude. I’ll help you take a look.”

“Senior Brother…”

Li Changshou’s reaction was slightly slower. When he wanted to stop him, it was already too late. In an instant, the glow of treasures filled the surroundings. It was as if a dam had burst. Stars surged out one after another, and the crisp sound of bells rang incessantly. On the throne, Goddess Nuwa tilted her body and pressed her fingers against the corners of her eyes. She smiled and watched the scene with interest. When the treasure light dissipated slightly, the Great Daoist Master looked at the pearl that had bumped into his chest and scattered all over the short table. He gradually felt speechless. Is the difference in treatment so obvious?

After all, he was the first batch of humans to be produced. He was also the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect…

Although Goddess Nuwa minded being called ‘Mother’ and ‘Grandmother’, he could indeed call her ‘Mom!

What happened just now?

These pearls are not Connate numinous treasures. The material they are made of is unclear. The “treasure trees” that look like cypress trees are sealed inside. They are more like ornaments…

The Great Daoist Master focused and saw a pearl that emitted a faint yellow glow. There was a small amount of golden soil sealed inside. Nine Heaven Life-soil?! After taking a closer look, the Great Daoist Master immediately found three other extraordinary pearls. They were sealed with a jar of weak water and a cluster of Eternal Sun Real Fire…

There were also a few pieces of Ten Thousand Souls Gold that had been used to repair the human race’s treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword!

Together with the large number of spiritual trees that had been destroyed in the ancient times, did the Holy Mother directly give Changshou a pile of top-grade Five-Element treasures? A few fairies flew over from the side. They put the pearls into a treasure pouch and placed them on the short table in front of the Great Daoist Master.

Although the Great Daoist Master was a little puzzled, he would not really waver because of that. He was just curious.

He returned the treasure pouch to Li Changshou and smiled.

“It seems that I’m not as likable as you, Little Junior Brother.”

“Senior Brother, you must be joking…”

Li Changshou forced a smile. Although he tried his best to endure it, his eyes were still tired…

Likable?

I had to draw tens of thousands of pages of comics for it!

Tens of thousands of pages! He was also asked to decorate the painting with light and set up an anti-corruption restriction. If the painting was not done well, he would have to recreate it. If the protagonist was too stupid and there were all kinds of flaws in the plot, he would even see the standard disdainful face of Goddess Nuwa…

In his previous life, Li Changshou had not done his homework when he was in school and had read many comics instead.

At that moment, he could use the deduction technique to extract his memories from the past. Together with the skills that he had honed in the Art Penmanship for many years, he was like a humanoid copy machine. However, he had to spend a lot of effort to change the content into the style of the Primordial World… To be safe, Li Changshou did not directly replicate those famous works.

He had to take out the good stuff slowly. Although he did not dare to keep the Goddess Nuwa in suspense, he should be able to secure his backing because of the supply and demand. However, he did not know how important “a fulfilling life” was to the Goddess Nuwa. Li Changshou did not dare to say that he was already familiar with the Saint. However, it should not be a problem for him to go to Goddess Nuwa’s Palace in the future.

The Heavenly Courts had another authority to enter and leave freely.

To be honest, if not for the fact that he did not have much in his stockpile, Li Changshou would have wanted to empty the Saint’s treasure vault!

He wanted peaches.

It was already a pleasant surprise that he could obtain the Nine Heaven Life-soil and so many spiritual nectar trees.

Goddess Nuwa was not perfunctory. One of his works would offset Li Changshou’s previous sin of deliberately deceiving a Saint. Each additional piece would be an additional reward. At that moment, Li Changshou had actually considered his request for a long time. Originally, Goddess Nuwa had wanted to reward him with one or two Connate numinous treasures. However, Li Changshou had asked for precious materials, so… Goddess Nuwa could save the Connate numinous treasures.

“I’m done.”

On the throne, Goddess Nuwa waved her hand gently. A wisp of golden light floated past her cloud sleeve. “Everything is fine today. The two of you can go back.”

Golden light flashed and the Saint was gone.

This is…

He was in a hurry to see the ending.

“Ahem.” The Great Daoist Master coughed. He was confused. No matter how he deduced or guessed, he could not guess what had happened just now.

Hence, the Great Daoist Master turned around and looked at Li Changshou’s old face that resembled the Water God…

“Senior Brother, let’s talk on the way.”

“Okay.” As soon as he left Goddess Nuwa’s Palace, Li Changshou could not help but yawn. Seeing that he was too tired, the Great Daoist Master summoned the power of the Taiji Painting and rushed back to the five continents with Li Changshou. “Did you spend too much effort during the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain?” the Great Daoist Master asked in concern. Li Changshou forced a smile and sighed. “Senior Brother, please send me back to the Immortal Du Sect. I’ll use my incarnation to report to the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Courts.” The Great Daoist Master followed his instructions and changed his path. He fully displayed the good tradition of asking questions if he did not understand. He smiled and said, “I’m really curious. Why did the Goddess give you so many benefits?”

“This…”

Li Changshou could not help but think of the Saint, who was lying on the side of the pool and shaking her snake tail while chuckling. He hurriedly shook his head and wiped away the image that could not be spread. Red Embroidered Ball warned! “I made some poems for the Goddess. When she was happy, she rewarded me.” Poetry?

The Great Daoist Master pursed his lips and frowned. His strange understanding of the Goddess Nuwa had increased greatly. Hence, the Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Come, recite a poem for me. Let’s see how good you are!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

The senior who copied the previous poem had already been destroyed by the Heavenly Dao! This thing had karma too. He could not copy it at will! The comics that were given to the Saint would not be circulated, so it was naturally fine.

“Senior Brother, let’s do it another day. I’m really tired.”

The Great Daoist Master was not too insistent. Although he was still a little puzzled, he did not ask further.

An hour later, they were on the Little Qiong Peak. If he did not count the time he had spent in Saint Nuwa’s space that was created with mystical abilities, Li Changshou had spent more than half a month. He had returned to the peak twice in a row, exhausted.

He avoided Ling’e and Jiu Jiu, who were searching for him all over the mountains and plains. He slowly walked to the side of the Pill Furnace and opened a small restriction on one of the legs of the Pill Furnace, revealing a small “room” inside. He turned into a stream of light and entered.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to tell Lingle and Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu that he was safe. He asked Lingle to meet him in the Pill Chamber a month later. Li Changshou activated all the array formations and closed his eyes to focus. Li Changshou had taken the initiative to return the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. The lack of security made him unable to sleep peacefully even if he was mentally and physically exhausted. That person… was the Heavenly Dao…

Six Saints… Tribulation…

Li Changshou thought about it and asked himself, “Is it possible that the Saint is lying to me?” There was naturally a possibility. He had to maintain his suspicion at all times, and that was not disrespecting the mother of the human race. Would he really be safe in the Primordial World with the protection of the Grand Pure One?

In the past, he felt that it was stable, but now…

In the brilliant Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao was the chessboard, the Saints schemed against all living beings, and living beings struggled to transcend.

How can I really transcend?

What about my future? If I cannot firmly grasp my destiny, how could I obtain that stable happiness? If he wanted to make use of the situation to travel, he had to have a strong sail. Otherwise, he would only end up dying. His name could not be mentioned by his friends. In the Primordial World, the Golden Body of Merit was just a protective talisman. The only thing he could rely on was himself, and the one that only belonged to him…

Dao.

He clenched his fists gently. In the narrow and dark corner, a faint blue light floated around the figure sitting cross-legged. It gradually condensed into a blurry treasure map. A month passed.

“Senior Brother!”

Ling’e floated over on a cloud and landed gently in the Pill Chamber. After receiving Li Changshou’s voice transmission, she went to the secret underground chamber familiarly.

Li Changshou was writing something on the table. At that moment, his mind had recovered.

Lingle’s face suddenly heated up, but she pretended to be calm. She walked forward with her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at Li Changshou. “Senior Brother, what are you drawing in these small squares? They seem to be connected.” “The heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.” Li Changshou put down his brush and covered the paper below with immortal power. He took out a jade token and injected some immortal power. The jade token trembled slightly. Wisps of immortal light emerged from it, and the “dissection diagram” of the sixteen Little Qiong Peak appeared. “This is the array formation project that I’m going to modify next. What do you have to modify?” “Uh, aren’t we about to move the Little Qiong Peak away?” Ling’e could not help but ask, “Can we still do that now?” “There’s still time.” Li Changshou took a deep breath. “I’ve decided not to move for the time being.” “Really?!”

Ling’e’s eyes lit up. “Yes.” Li Changshou smiled warmly. “Something happened and it made me adjust my future development path. I don’t think I can put all my eggs in one basket. However, I will make a second Little Qiong Peak later and move the Water God Residence to the Tushita Palace. After all, I have already told everyone about this matter.”

Ling’e blinked, indicating that she did not understand.

Li Changshou stopped and began to explain to Lingle what to do next.

When she heard her senior brother say that he wanted to change the land, lake, and forest on the Little Qiong Peak, Ling’e thought that her senior brother had gone berserk…

Is there a need for that?

In the past, although the interior of the Little Qiong Peak had been changed beyond recognition by her senior brother, there were not many changes on the surface.

Until now…

Did he finally decide not to let go of the outer layer too?

Li Changshou asked casually, “By the way, did you cause any trouble when I was asleep?” Ling’e covered her egg with her hands and muttered softly, “I…. didn’t… sob…” “Huh?” Li Changshou was also amused. How could there be an unexpected gain of information? After a while, Li Changshou saw that Ling’e had calmed down. He asked seriously, “What did you do wrong previously?”

Ling’e looked like she was about to reach her peak again. She stammered and blushed. There was a little sweat on her forehead, and she did not dare to look at her senior brother.

She said honestly, “Senior Brother, I’ll punish myself by writing the Steadiness Sutra three thousand times…”

Li Changshou’s frown deepened. Punish yourself by writing the Steadiness Sutra three thousand times? “How big of a mistake did you make? Did you randomly matchmake Jiu Yushi and Master?” “Ah.” Ling’e bit her lips and stomped her feet. “Senior Brother, don’t ask. I’ll punish myself. It’s, it’s between us…”

Li Changshou shook his head and took out two stone slabs.

“Come, let’s do it together. I’ll punish myself 6,000 times and give you 3,000 times. That’ll be fair and honest.”

“Yes,” Ling’e answered with a flushed face. She sat opposite the desk obediently and skillfully took out her carving knife. She began to silently write the new Steadiness Sutra.

She did not complain at all.

There’s a problem. There’s a huge problem! Although Li Changshou was puzzled, he did not ask further since Ling’e did not say anything. He calmed his mind and focused. After a while, Ling’e suddenly asked softly, “Senior Brother, if I… I got pregnant, what should I do?” Crack!

Li Changshou inserted his carving knife into the stone slab. Cracks appeared on the stone slab, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered into small pieces.

That’s not right. My immortal body’s essence Yang does not seem to have been exhausted. Moreover, even if I was asleep, I should have felt something… He looked at Ling’e again and immediately understood something. Li Changshou put away the gravel in front of him and took out another stone slab. He lowered his head and continued carving.

“For humans, holding hands and kissing alone will not lead to pregnancy.” Ling’e was stunned. “Then how does pregnancy happen…” “We have to get married first. Then, we will be in the same room and consummate our marriage.” Li Changshou continued to explain calmly, “Then, we will kowtow to the goddess of the human race every day and pray for blessings. When she grants a clay figurine, the woman will be pregnant.” Ling’e could not help but tilt her head slowly. She suddenly thought of something and lowered her head to start copying. It turned out to be so complicated.

In the southwest of the North Continent, in a continuous mountain with thin poisonous miasma, the place had become filled with demonic aura at some point in time. Especially in the past few days, the Dao rune fluctuations of the demon experts kept circulating Deep in the mountains, in a forest, blue demonic flames floated in the forest. Countless figures gathered there. Half of them were in human form after transforming. They each retained the characteristics of their original race and were usually beast-headed. Half of them maintained their demonic beast forms, and their bodies emitted strong murderous intent.

More than three hundred demon kings, more than a hundred ancient experts, and more than ten legendary demons had already discussed for three days and three nights. They still could not come up with a concrete plan to counterattack the Heavenly Courts.

The moment they thought of the final outcome of the Demon Ascension Mountain Range, the battle intent that they had just gathered would be scattered…

The atmosphere in the forest became more and more solemn.

A Black Bear Spirit gritted his teeth and cursed, “Are we going to let this grudge go?” The demons fell silent. Silence was the Demon Bridge tonight. It was not until an old woman whispered something that the eyes of the many experts of the demon race burned with hope.

“Everyone, why don’t we ask Goddess Nuwa who is of our race to punish the Heavenly Courts’ Water God for being arrogant, unreasonable, and killing demons!?!”
