Chapter 538




‘Goddess Nuwa even asked me to go to the Goddess’s Palace. I have to go there as soon as possible.’
With that in mind, Li Changshou emerged from the earth meridian and put away the Yin-Yang Qi left behind by the Taiji Painting. He quietly entered the Little Qiong Peak’s Recovery Array and headed towards the secret chamber.
He carefully analyzed the mission given by the Dao Ancestor for three months and finally came to a very useful conclusion.
“It’s useless to think.”
The battle at that level had even exceeded the Saints’ game.
The information he knew was too one-sided. He had only heard the Dao Ancestor talk about the past. If he rashly participated, no one could be sure what would happen.
The incarnation of Pangu’s remnant felt that it would be a huge trap.
The Dao Ancestor seemed to have given him the choice of “killing” or “protecting”. In fact, he had already made a biased choice—seeking stability.
Li Changshou sighed softly.
If he did not even think of that, he would have spent all his years in the Primordial World in vain.
The bad news was that he had become a saber in the Dao Ancestor’s hand.
The good news was that when the Dao Ancestor used him, he would protect himself appropriately.
What he had to do was to become stronger in the shortest time possible. At the very least, he had to have the ability to survive in the Chaos Sea and create a path of retreat.
There were many things in the world that originally could not be solved. However, after being stable for many times, there was a way out.
Li Changshou pondered for three months and finally made a decision.
I must cling onto the Grand Pure One!
From now on, my actions will revolve around the Grand Pure One!
That was because Li Changshou realized that the Dao Ancestor seemed to be afraid of his Saint teacher.
What story could he come up with by restoring the information that the Dao Ancestor had told him to a certain extent?
“In the ancient times, there was a competition that no one knew about. The two parties were ‘Friend of the Primordial Women, frivolous senior’ and ‘The Great Winner of the Ancient Era, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun’.
The goal of the competition was to prove the Dao and reach the level of the Pangu God.
Regardless of whether Senior Lang had really gone crazy, Senior Lang must have used the countless reserves accumulated from the ancient times to snatch the Dao Ancestor on this path.
For an unknown purpose, the Dao Ancestor assumed that it was to protect the Primordial World and join forces with the Heavenly Dao to forcefully suppress Senior Lang and directly erase all traces of his existence.
Apart from Goddess Nuwa, who had already become the Heavenly Dao and could not be touched, everyone else who was related to Senior Lang had died. Only Heng’e had forgotten some of her memories and woke up after sleeping for ten thousand years…”
The biggest question was whether Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had lied about that.
Li Changshou personally felt that the Dao Ancestor was telling the truth.
After all, the thoughts of living beings like him who floated over from Earth were more complicated…
From that perspective, the remnant will of the Pangu God definitely had nothing to do with Senior Lang. Otherwise, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun would definitely not let him, who could possibly let Senior Lang off, attack.
In three months, according to limited information, Li Changshou had lost countless hairs.
Fortunately, he had already found a solution!
Sue the teacher!
Li Changshou knelt in front of the portrait of the Grand Pure One in the secret chamber and shouted, “Teacher, please bestow the pagoda.”
A faint Grand Pure Dao rune appeared in the portrait. The Pagoda Master’s spiritual will sounded in Li Changshou’s heart. Then, it landed on Li Changshou’s head.
The Pagoda Master’s spiritual will said, “Why? Are you going to Three-Immortal Island to look for Sister Golden Dipper?”
Li Changshou said, “Pagoda Master, I have something important to do for the time being… Will the Heavenly Dao monitor me if I contact you with my spiritual perception?”
The Pagoda Master chuckled.
“What is a Connate numinous treasure? Connate numinous treasures are born from the Connate Dao. I was originally a pagoda formed by the first wave of Mysterious Yellow Mother Qi in the world. Master had injected me with Saint Merit. Although the grade is not a supreme treasure, I have the effect of being immune to all Dharma. The Heavenly Dao wants to investigate our communication unless it’s in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall or the Purple Cloud Palace!”
“That’s good. Pagoda Master, help me convey some words to Teacher.”
Li Changshou deliberated over his words and muttered to the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda in his heart for a while. Then, he brought the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda to the portrait of the Grand Pure One.
“Teacher! I’m returning the pagoda!”
The corner of the portrait of the Grand Pure One swayed gently. A shallow vortex appeared in the universe. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda disappeared after throwing a complaint.
“After working for so long, you want me to do this?”
Li Changshou smiled calmly. That was also a new way to expand the employment of the Primordial Connate numinous treasure.
It was an encrypted message!
Li Changshou waited for a while. His Dao heart rippled slightly. The Grand Pure Dao runes descended and condensed into six words.
“Yes, Master.”
His teacher’s style was as rare as gold.
Li Changshou lowered his head and bowed. He lit three incense sticks and left the secret chamber. He felt much more relaxed.
When the Dao Ancestor informed him, he would go and find that thing to attack. Regardless of whether he killed or released it, his teacher would naturally pay attention to it.
The sense of security finally returned.
His current strength was too low. The Saints could only test him at the edge, let alone the Dao Ancestor’s schemes.
Could the Dao Ancestor read minds directly?
Actually, that was not the case.
Only when the power of the Heavenly Dao and the power of calamity invaded his heart could the Dao Ancestor know what he was thinking. The Dao Ancestor of the Purple Cloud Palace’s frightening question should have been deduced.
Li Changshou originally wanted to see Ling’e and teach her some Dao techniques. However, when he left the secret chamber, he felt enlightened.
Hence, he sat on his old rocking chair and closed his eyes to focus. He carefully savored it and instantly fell into Dao enlightenment.
He had really accumulated a lot of ‘materials’ during his trip to the Purple Cloud Palace.
Wisps of Dao heart enlightenment flowed through the spirit platform like streams, filling Li Changshou’s incomplete Dao runes.
Li Changshou focused a portion of his attention and began to think about the Heavenly Dao.
If he wanted to perfect the Art of Equalization, he could not avoid his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao.
The existence of the Heavenly Dao was mysterious and wonderful. The Great Dao intertwined and the will of Pangu resonated.
At that moment, the composition of the Heavenly Dao was very clear.
The will of all living beings resonated with the Great Dao and formed the Heavenly Dao itself. That was the first part, the main body of the Heavenly Dao.
The will of the Heavenly Dao and the incarnation of the Great Tribulation that had faced him before were the second part. They could also be seen as branches of the main body of the Heavenly Dao, but they were more special.
That was Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, who had the authority to oversee things.
The remaining will of Pangu, which had evolved on its own since the ancient times and was about to become a living being, was the fourth.
The first part of his Great Dao of Equalization had to be interfered with and affected.
Gradually, Li Changshou immersed himself in the Great Dao and entered the Realm of Two Oblivions. Mysterious and obscure Dao runes floated around him. His long hair would be stirred by spiritual energy from time to time…
Half a month later, an explosion sounded outside the Pill Chamber. The Little Qiong Peak trembled a few times. The array formations shone wildly, but they quickly quietened down.
“Huh?”
In the straw hut by the lake, Ling’e was awakened by the commotion. She put down the jade token in her hand and ran out of the house barefooted. She looked in the direction of the Pill Chamber.
Did Senior Brother blow up the Pill Furnace again?
Ling’e blinked, her eyes filled with worry. She stepped on a white cloud and rushed to the Pill Chamber with the jade token.
However, just as she flew a thousand feet away, she suddenly felt that the buns on her head were gently poked by someone. She heard a familiar laugh.
“Why do you like this outfit?”
Ling’e subconsciously took two steps forward and turned around nimbly. She saw that her senior brother had appeared at the edge of the white cloud.
This…
My immortal senses could not detect Senior Brother at all!
Alright, the difference in strength between me and Senior Brother is getting bigger and bigger.
Ling’e was a little disappointed.
Li Changshou sized up the little Heaven Immortal in front of him at a close distance. She was wearing a simple short skirt with a white background. There were light blue flowers painted on the top and bottom of the short skirt. Her hairstyle was still in two buns. She was charming and cute.
Ling’e giggled. Her face was red as she tiptoed and circled the cloud.
“Is it nice?”
“It does look good.” Li Changshou stroked his chin and commented seriously, “It’s just that it’s a little less mature and stable. It’s too childish.”
Ling’e complained unhappily, “Stupid Senior Brother, just praise me. I don’t need to hear your opinion! I’m using my advantage to the fullest. I’m trying my best to differentiate from Sister Yun Xiao’s feelings.”
Li Changshou could not help but smile. He took half a step forward and raised his hand to twist Ling’e’s face.
Tsk, this familiar smooth touch.
“Cultivate seriously. No one can avoid the Golden Immortal Tribulation. If you want to live forever, you have to face it. This is what you need to spend energy on!”
Ling’e blushed and raised her hand to cover her pinched face. She pursed her lips.
Li Changshou turned around and took a step forward. His body dissipated like smoke and condensed again under the willow tree by the lake. He pointed out two meditation cushions and calmly sat down.
“Come over. I’ll teach you the Dao of the Golden Immortal today. You don’t have to worry about the Immortal Union in the future. I have enough energy recently. I will personally keep an eye on them. Ao Yi and Ling Zhuzi are not far from the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Don’t slack off. They are far too ahead of you.”
“Yes!”
Ling’e nodded seriously and flew down with her toes. She pulled the meditation cushion and sat down beside her senior brother. Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Li Changshou exhaled and began to talk about the Grand Pure One’s Dao of Longevity.
The shadows of the green lotuses condensed by his mouth and circled around Ling’e.
During the lecture, Li Changshou looked at the “artificial peak” on the opposite side of the lake. He had some thoughts that had nothing to do with the lecture.
Previously, Ling’e had put in a lot of effort to make suitable clothes for Lingli.
Later, he would have to go to the Tushita Palace to see the Grand Supreme Elder and see if the Little Divine Slaughtering Spear was completed. At that time, he could ask the Grand Supreme Elder to make a set of clothes for Xiong Lingli.
Yes, Yang Jian’s three pointed, double-edged spear was about to be put on the agenda. He would probably have to trouble the Grand Supreme Elder.
The matter of subduing the divine flood dragon and transforming it into a divine weapon would only fool mortals.
Anyone who had any “immortal knowledge” would know that the divine weapon had first transformed into three divine flood dragons. The process of the battle between the divine flood dragon and Yang Jian was the process of Yang Jian taming the divine weapon.
Thinking about it carefully, the Grand Supreme Elder could not be at peace with a disciple who was as worried as him.
…
In Perfected Yu Ding’s Cave Abode on the Jade Spring Mountain.
When Li Changshou was preaching to Ling’e, Perfected Taiyi, Perfected Yu Ding, and Perfected Huang Long were drinking with a rare guest at the stone table in the Cave Abode.
Yang Jian, who had just experienced a “perfected” experience two years ago, was currently sparring with Ling Zhuzi in the back mountain.
Yang Jian had finally obtained a drop of the essence blood of the witch, Gonggong.
Now, although he could not completely refine the blood essence, his strength could not be underestimated. He did not need Ling Zhuzi to specially give it to him.
That made Ling Zhuzi, who had been cultivating for a long time, feel a little depressed. Recently, he had been strengthening his physical body.
Yang Chan sat on a tree branch not far away. Her face was red and she kept swaying her feet. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Guang Chengzi, the twelve Golden Immortal immortal heads, sighed.
“You two Disciple-Nephews are really not bad. In time, you will definitely be the pillar of our Chan School.”
Perfected Yu Ding said softly, “Eldest Senior Brother, you flatter me.”
Perfected Taiyi scoffed and said, “It’s another matter if he’s weak. My precious disciple is especially valued by Junior Brother Changgeng.”
Perfected Huang Long, who had recently begun to grow his beard to try out a new look, could not help but laugh when he heard that.
“Junior Brother, you’re joking. Whether Junior Brother Changgeng values Ling Zhuzi or not has nothing to do with his cultivation.”
“No, no.” Perfected Taiyi held the wine bottle and shook his head. “If that’s not the case, why would Eldest Senior Brother come here today?”
Guang Chengzi smiled and did not say a word.
Perfected Huang Long smiled awkwardly and asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, what happened in the Purple Cloud Palace? Why did Teacher order us not to go to the South Continent after returning?”
Guang Chengzi’s smile disappeared. He sighed and said, “The situation back then was difficult to explain. Don’t ask too much about this matter. It concerns the stability of the Dao Sect and the peace of the three sects. The matter of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation had gradually become clear. The Heavenly Courts are in charge. The Jade Emperor and Junior Brother Changgeng are the two most important figures. I came here today to ask the three of you who are familiar with Changgeng to visit him.”
Perfected Yu Ding frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I’m afraid it’s useless.”
“That’s right.” Perfected Taiyi pursed his lips. “Eldest Senior Brother, could it be that you want us to compete with Fairy Yun Xiao for Changgeng?”
Guang Chengzi pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “This matter is not trivial. You have to be careful. Don’t take it lightly.”
Huang Long asked, “In that case, wouldn’t we be using our friendship with Changgeng? Changgeng is so smart…”
“That’s why I’m just going to sound him out.”
Guang Chengzi said warmly, “It’s not to force Changgeng to make a choice between the two sects. Changgeng has to know that if he wants to target the Western Sect in the future, Chan School can attack appropriately.”
Perfected Taiyi raised his eyebrows. “That’s all?”
“That’s all.” A complicated expression flashed across Guang Chengzi’s eyes. “You guys naturally don’t know what I saw in the Purple Cloud Palace?”
Perfected Huang Long leaned forward and asked, “What did you see? The few of us will definitely not leak it.”
“Yes…”
Guang Chengzi was about to speak when he recalled his teacher’s instructions. He chuckled.
“Ah, the most unexpected thing is to see Changgeng’s… little bottom.”
With a puff, Perfected Taiyi spat a mouthful of immortal wine on Perfected Yu Ding’s face. Perfected Huang Long’s eyes widened and he was shocked speechless.
Guang Chengzi chuckled and briefly described the scene of the Dao Ancestor beating Li Changgeng up. The expressions of the three Perfected Ones were extremely interesting.
The same story would always have a different effect on different people.
At the same time, almost all the eight outer sect disciples of Jie School were gathered on the Three-Immortal Island.
Daoist Duobao sat in the main seat of the pavilion and was also telling the same story. However, he was much more vivid than Guang Chengzi.
“…Guess what?
The Grandmaster flung the Purple Heaven Punishing Whip in his hand, and Changgeng was instantly sent flying more than thirty feet. Then, lightning flashed and thunder exploded, causing Changgeng to be unable to land.
That scene!
Ah! The power of the Heavenly Punishment was extremely sharp. The sound of thunder exploding could be heard continuously!
Do you think Grandmaster doesn’t like Changgeng?”
On the left, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit nodded. On the right, Yun Xiao, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, and Zhao Gongming were filled with concern.
Daoist Duobao smiled smugly and raised his hands to the side. He panted and continued, “No, no! The Dao Ancestor was telling the Western Sect that Changgeng was his valued disciple. Although the Heavenly Punishment Whip was terrifying, it only had power. Although the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder made a huge commotion, every time it landed on Changgeng’s buttocks, which had the most flesh. What are these? Isn’t it obvious that this is like when someone in the mortal world is mischievous and gets beaten up by the elders in the family? What is intimacy? This is intimacy! Moreover, his Grandmaster had not done it casually. He had expected that Changgeng would be afraid of trouble and would shirk responsibility. He first subdued Changgeng, threw him in front of him, and could not move. Then, he took out the Heavenly Book God roll and the God Striking Whip. With a shake of his hand, he landed in Changgeng’s hand and decided on the person in charge of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. The two Saints of the Western Sect at the side even shouted… Teacher, the Western Sect is poor! Grandmaster glanced at them and was just about to say, ‘You’ve been working for so many years, but you haven’t seen the prosperity of the Western Sect. It looks good, but it’s useless.’ Of course, Grandmaster took care of the pride of the two Saints of the Western Sect. He smiled and said, ‘I’m old. My hands are trembling a little. It seems that this item is fated with Changgeng.’ He left after saying that and did not stay any longer. Just like that, he decided to preside over the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.”
Daoist Duobao let out a long sigh. His junior brothers and sisters beside him praised him one after another. They were naturally happy with the outcome.
Then, Daoist Duobao looked at the elegant Fairy Yun Xiao and smiled.
“I’ve said so much just to ask… Junior Sister, when are you going to see Changgeng?”
Yun Xiao frowned and said seriously, “I haven’t seen him for decades. Why are we in a hurry to meet?”
Daoist Duobao was instantly speechless. He waved his round palms a few times and stammered for a long time before saying, “Don’t you miss him?”
Yun Xiao blushed slightly. She stood up and turned around. She subconsciously wanted to retort, but she faced her heart and experienced her true nature. She could not help but purse her thin lips and say softly, “I… naturally want to see him more. However, now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, he is in charge of the Great Tribulation. After seeing it, I’m afraid that he will be biased and make a mistake.”
“Junior Sister, you’re wrong!”
Daoist Duobao stood up and smiled. “The Great Tribulation is the Great Tribulation. Dao companions are Dao companions. They cannot be mixed together. Junior Sister, you can’t find a reason to look for Changgeng. I’ve prepared it for you! Here! ”
As he spoke, Daoist Duobao took out a jade token and a three-inch-long pocket immortal sword from his sleeve and handed it to Fairy Yun Xiao.
“Teacher has previously found a treasure land in the Chaos Sea. There is a huge opportunity for Changgeng there. Teacher’s Immortal Entrapping Sword can bring you there. At this moment, the Purple Cloud Palace has just finished discussing the God-Conferment matter. It is impossible for us to fight with Chan School directly. The Western Sect did not dare to stand out either. It was just right for us to take this treasure. Most importantly, you can take this opportunity to spend some time alone. In the Chaos Sea, there is no Heavenly Dao monitoring. The Saint can’t find your location, and he can’t use a treasure to spy on you…”
Daoist Duobao looked at Yun Xiao and hesitated. He decided to strike while the iron was hot.
“Don’t forget that the teachings of Jie School are to intercept a chance of survival. We are always waiting for nothing. The Great Tribulation is tomorrow. No one knows what will happen in the future. What if… Junior Sister, do you want to leave some regrets?”
Fairy Yun Xiao frowned slightly and slowly gripped the jade token and the small sword.
