Chapter 585

At the railing of the dance pavilion, he looked back at the long sleeve of the misty rain.

Li Changshou asked Ling Zhuzi to invite Heng’e. Heng’e agreed without hesitation. Even if Li Changshou had not had time to prepare, she would have come to meet him that day anyway.

The oath to not leave the moon had been broken the last time the Jade Emperor had issued a decree.

In other words, Heng’e only needed to find a “legitimate” reason to leave the Glacial Palace at any time.

It was not appropriate to meet Heng’e alone.

Li Changshou held a sumptuous banquet in the Great White Palace and specially called Long Ji to accompany him. He also found a musician with a special status—Ling’e.

It could be said that he had a strong desire to live.

Beside the round table of the banquet, there were two screens. Bai Ze was hiding in the concealment array formation behind the screen. He was “playing” with the bottom of the gourd that had been mostly dismantled.

Tiny “parts” floated beside him like meteorites. They represented the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber technique of the Demon Court’s “highest living weapon refinement technique”. There were no secrets in Bai Ze’s hands.

Mr. Bai had an idea. He took the opportunity to mix the two small squares that he had left behind when he assembled this thing last time.

Nothing happened.

The natural rules of the Primordial World were different from Li Changshou’s hometown, the blue planet. This place was still round and square. The Heavenly Dao projected the sky above a square world. Only the five continents of the Primordial World were legitimate.

The warmth of the sun gradually receded. A bright moon hung in the sky. A pure white path seemed to have appeared in front of the Great White Palace. It slid down from the moon to the front of the Great White Palace.

The fairy from the moon rode a cloud over. Her immortal dress, which was complicated and magical, revealed her shoulders and legs. It emitted immortal light, causing many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to be dazed and dizzy.

Fortunately, Bian Zhuang had returned to his hometown. Otherwise, he would have fainted from excessive nosebleeds today.

Yu Tu and Ling Zhuzi were naturally not suitable to appear at that moment. The two of them drank tea and ate snacks in the Glacial Palace. Yu Tu listened to Ling Zhuzi complain about the bitterness in her heart.

Most likely, the Golden Roc, Ao Yi, and Bian Zhuang had missions, but he could only run.

It was a short distance leg.

Fairy Heng’e landed in front of the Great White Hall. Li Changshou brought Long Ji out to welcome her.

Li Changshou, who maintained the appearance of an old immortal, immediately bowed and smiled. “How have you been, Moon Lord?”

“Lord, don’t be so polite.” Heng’e smiled and returned the greeting. She also bowed and reached out to cover her collar.

Heng’e asked straightforwardly, “Lord, I’m afraid you didn’t just invite me here to drink.”

“Hey, Moon Lord, what are you saying?”

Li Changshou said politely in all seriousness, “Moon Lord, you are in the important place of the moon and are one of the few experts in the Heavenly Courts. It’s necessary for me to treat you to a meal and keep in touch with you.”

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, please come in. It’s just some wine and some dishes. ”

Heng’e nodded with a smile and walked into the hall.

Li Changshou activated the restrictions in the hall and isolated the place from the outside.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a wisp of sorrow coming from the corner. The music was slow and contained endless sorrow. It was as if there were women crying, admiring, and complaining.

“Ahem!”

Li Changshou cleared his throat and reprimanded with his hands behind his back.

“What’s wrong with the music? Play something more cheerful. I’ve been busy for hundreds of years, can’t I enjoy myself? I just want to communicate with the Moon Lord about the Heavenly Courts’ official business!”

Ling’e, who was in the corner, could not help but roll her eyes. She did not embarrass her senior brother and replied gently, “Yes, I played it wrong. Lord, don’t be angry. If not, how about I ask my Sister to play it?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“It’s good that you know your mistakes and can change them. There’s no need to be too loud.”

Ling’e naturally would not make things difficult for her senior brother. The tune quickly turned into the sound of a mountain spring. It had the effect of clearing one’s mind.

If not for the many rules in the Jade Pool, Long Ji, who was the Queen Mother’s favorite child, would definitely not be able to hold it in and turn around to laugh.

Fortunately, Long Ji tensed up. Not only did she tense up, she even took the initiative to explain to the confused Heng’e.

“In order to entertain the Moon Lord, my master invited his most precious treasure.”

Heng’e immediately understood. She bowed to the little fairy in the corner who had yet to appear and continued to chat with Li Changshou.

Heng’e had also heard some rumors about the situation in the Great White Palace.

Tsk, it’s not because I’m too bored. When I’m free, I’ll use the Cloud Mirror Technique to look at the sky and the earth!

When they entered the banquet, Li Changshou used his exquisite mouth techniques and chatted happily with Heng’e.

However, it was currently a tense preparation period. Li Changshou did not want to waste too much time on the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. Soon, he shifted the topic to the ancient matter.

“Previously, I was chatting with the Moon Lord. I seem to have heard that you and the Grand Magus of the ancient Magi, Yi, are not husband and wife. You are just in a marriage alliance.”

Heng’e did not expect Li Changshou to be so straightforward. She blushed and said softly, “Heng’e naturally did not lie. However, this matter concerns the reputation of the human race and the Magi. Please don’t tell anyone about it.”

“Don’t worry, Moon Lord,” Li Changshou said seriously. “I invited you here today because I want to ask you for help. I found this Great Magus Yi recently.”

After saying that, Li Changshou secretly observed Heng’e’s expression.

Heng’e’s gaze did not change much. The first expression she revealed was relief and joy, but it was not deep.

It was difficult to achieve such a superficial level of acting.

Li Changshou could basically conclude that the gratification and joy came from the Qi of the living beings of the same generation.

Heng’e said gently, “Was Yi not harmed by the Demon Court? That’s considered lucky.”

“I’m not considered lucky. It’s worse than death.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “I’m now wondering how many heartless things the Demon Court had done back then. The Demon Master Kun Peng is already extremely evil, but the Demon Court is still superior.”

Heng’e sighed and said, “Without experiencing the darkness of the ancient times, I don’t know how difficult it is for the human race today. The Magi were originally happy to hunt all living beings. Although they are considered ferocious, they are open and aboveboard. They specialized in hunting experts. The demons were originally the saints of all living beings. They obtained the protection of the Heavenly Dao and fought against the Magi. However, they did not govern themselves and did not restrain themselves. They used the Magi as their standard of conduct, but they specially targeted the weak. The Demon Court was at its peak, and it was also the most difficult time for the living beings of the Primordial World. In the demon race, the stronger tribes bullied the weaker tribes. Now, the Qing Qiu race is just a plaything of the stronger tribes. He was enjoying exploiting other living beings. He did not think about strengthening himself or advancing. Instead, he kept probing his bottom line. In the end, he would suffer a calamity. No matter how talented the Demon Emperor was or how elegant the Demon Empress was, she could not suppress the Demon Court that was built on decay. The Demon Master Kun Peng is just a miniature.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and brought the topic back.

“This Grand Magus, Yi, has also been tortured. Now, he’s in a daze. Only his essence soul has been refined into a treasure.

Do you want to meet him?”

Heng’e smiled and said, “I’m considered an old friend of his. If you feel that there’s a need to meet him, you can arrange it yourself.”

Long Ji praised from the side.

The fairy in the Glacial Palace was not a simple person.

Li Changshou clapped his hands. Behind the screen beside him, Bai Ze carried the “ladle” and floated over.

On the “ladle”, there was an altar. The Grand Magus Yi’s soul was locked outside the bronze pillar. The Immortal Palace that released sword Qi on the upper half had been temporarily removed. Only a small portion of the secret of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber was revealed.

Bai Ze’s dismantling technique became even more exquisite.

“Well…”

Heng’e frowned and stood up. She walked to Li Changshou’s side and looked down at the tragic state of the Grand Magus Yi’s soul. She could not help but call out softly, “Grand Magus, Grand Magus?”

The essence of the Grand Magus Yi suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with madness and anger. Then, he raised his head and roared silently, as if he wanted to burn himself.

Li Changshou raised his hand and pointed a finger. The essence soul was instantly sealed by the Yin and Yang Qi and was shouting silently.

Heng’e hurriedly asked, “What is he saying?”

“It’s meaningless. I’m just expressing my anger.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “He has gone crazy for a long time and can’t communicate with him. Is there any way to awaken his essence? If I can’t awaken Yi’s consciousness, this treasure can only be destroyed along with his essence soul. Otherwise, keeping it would only be a hidden danger. It’s not safe.”

“Ah.” Heng’e pondered for a while and said, “I’m not familiar with him. I know that the Grand Magus likes his wife’s dance of prayer. Let me try and see if I can use this technique to awaken his consciousness.”

Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Moon Lord.”

“I’m just doing something for my old friend.”

Heng’e said softly. She walked to the side and hesitated for a while before sending a voice transmission to the musician in the corner.

Ling’e was also an expert in the Dao of Music. She was the musician with the strongest background of the Little Qiong Peak and was familiar with all kinds of techniques. Soon, she took out a small drum and began to beat it rhythmically.

Then, Li Changshou, Bai Ze, Long Ji, and the crazy Grand Magus, Yi Hun, witnessed…

It was a lame prayer dance.

Who would have thought that Fairy Heng’e, who was still dignified and beautiful a moment ago and was dressed in more than ten layers of a structured immortal dress, would suddenly open her arms, lower her head, and arch her back? She jumped around barefooted and muttered…

The scene was tragic, and everyone was speechless.

Heng’e was unwilling to admit defeat. However, the more she tried, the more… she felt sad.

The Grand Magus Yi’s essence soul did not move at all. He continued to raise his head and shout.

A few moments later…

“Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”

Heng’e smiled and said those words. Her squinted eyes were filled with sharpness. The short sword in her hand shone with cold light, causing the weaker Long Ji and Ling’e to shiver.

“Don’t worry, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Don’t worry.”

Li Changshou promised repeatedly. Then, he thought of something and asked, “If the Magi are invited to act as Yi’s wife and dance this dance…”

Heng’e sighed and said, “Where can we find the Magi now?”

“It’s fine. There’s one in the backyard.” Li Changshou waved his hand. Long Ji stood up and rushed away. She pulled Xiong Lingli, who was sleeping in the mountain and was too lazy to cultivate.

The Sea God had already made arrangements. It was useless for her to cultivate alone.

Heng’e looked at Xiong Lingli, who had her hair tied up in two ponytails and her arms and legs tied up. She hummed softly and said, “She’s too thin and weak. The Magi think that being strong is beautiful.”

“That’s easy!”

Xiong Lingli took a deep breath and raised her left hand. She puffed up her cheeks and blew at her thumb. Her entire body swelled up!

The muscles on his body bulged and he transformed into the “fake mountain” state back then.

Li Changshou secretly broke out in cold sweat. He thought that Xiong Lingli was going to transform into a giant and almost threw out the Cosmic Minor Array that was specially meant for Xiong Lingli.

After a simple reminder, Xiong Lingli took a deep breath and jumped around the banquet in front of the number one dancer in the Three Realms, Fairy Heng’e.

The Magi were very mystical.

The essence of Great Magus Yi was no longer restless. Instead, he revealed a yearning expression.

As the drums became lighter, Xiong Lingli jumped more and more happily. The Great Magus Yi’s soul was gradually stunned. Chains appeared around him and tied him firmly to the bronze pillar.

Until Xiong Lingli’s forehead was covered in sweat. The expression of the Great Magus Yi had already become affectionate and nostalgic. There were still tears at the corners of his soul.

The affectionate voice that had traveled countless years echoed in their hearts…

“Is that you? Iron Hammer…”

Heng’e could not help but support her forehead with her hand. She almost left.

A moment later.

“Xiong Lingli of the Magihuman race greets Senior.”

At the side of the banquet, Xiong Lingli bowed. The Grand Magus, Yi Jing, who had regained his senses, looked at Xiong Lingli with a complicated expression. His voice sounded in the hearts of the immortals present.

“Is there no place for us Magi in the world?”

Li Changshou said, “Grand Magus, don’t worry. The Lady of Earth protected a group of Magi in the Netherworld. The Magi in the north of the North Continent are also reproducing. Although he is no longer as magnificent as before and is monitored by the Heavenly Dao, his bloodline has not been severed.”

“Heng’e is also here. Demon Commander Bai Ze is also here… Then, who are you?”

The Grand Magus, Yi, closed his eyes. However, Li Changshou felt that he was being watched by a sharp gaze. His Dao heart actually trembled.

As expected of an ancient mighty figure who could repair the array for the twelve Ancestral Magi.

“I’m just Lord Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Courts,” Li Changshou said with a smile.

Bai Ze said, “However, if you still have some feelings for the Magi, don’t be rude to this immortal in front of you. If not for him, the Magi of the North Continent would probably be extinct. The Lady of Earth would also be in trouble…”

“Mr. Bai, there’s no need to say anything.” Li Changshou raised his hand and gestured. He stared at the essence of the Grand Magus, Yi. He said calmly, “Actually, I don’t have to explain too much to you. I can’t explain it in a while. Let’s be simple. I’ll say what I invited and you’ll say what you want. It’d be best if we can hit it off.”

“Speak.”

“I want to use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber to set you free in a thousand years and give you a chance to reincarnate.”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Bai, please put the gourd back.”

The Great Magus, Yi, opened his eyes and frowned at Li Changshou. Then, he looked at Heng’e.

Heng’e smiled and nodded at him.

“You’re still alive. It’s not bad that those human generals did not make things difficult for you.”

Heng’e sighed and said, “There’s no need to mention what happened back then. So what if they are troubled? Father will protect me. It’s good that you can reincarnate. Lord Taibai Jinxing is the most interesting living being in the world. He will not lie to you.”

“In the end, the Magi lost.” Grand Magus Yi sighed. There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. “Congratulations.”

“Thank you.”

After saying that, Grand Magus Yi closed his eyes and did not say anything else. He was carried to the back of the screen by Bai Ze.

Li Changshou and Heng’e looked at each other. The latter smiled helplessly. She recalled what had happened back then and felt a little sad. She picked up the wine bottle and drank.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber could finally be used.

It was a joyous occasion to have another treasure that could kill Zenith Heaven and injure mighty figures.

However, Li Changshou did not waste too much time. After sending Heng’e away and fooling around with Ling’e for a while, he fell into a nervous trap.

There were three stages to capturing the Kun Peng:

In the early stages, he would build momentum, stabilize the situation, and catch fish.

Once the news of the Primordial Violet Vapor appeared, the mighty figures of the Primordial World would definitely explode.

However, as long as the experts of the Dao Sect became active and acted as if they were determined to obtain the Primordial Violet Vapor, they would be able to make the various mighty figures maintain a wait-and-see attitude to a certain extent. They would not fight in advance to increase the chaos.

The first thing Li Changshou had to do was to let the Qi Refinement cultivators below the Zenith Heaven realm retreat.

Be it in his previous life or in the Primordial World, all living beings who had bold ideas would not lack opportunists.

Li Changshou’s solution was very simple.

Destiny.

As long as he spread the news that the Primordial Violet Qi was about to appear, he would be able to release the eighth and ninth wisp of Primordial Violet Qi that belonged to the disciples of the Dao Sect. Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators would retreat.

If the ninth wisp of Primordial Violet Vapor really appeared, it would be a treasure that even the Saint would have to snatch. If it belonged to any sect or sect, there would be an additional Half-Saint…

Any rational itinerant cultivator of the Primordial World would not join in the fun.

As for the “side effects” brought about by such actions, such as deepening the conflict between the Dao Sect’s Qi Refinement cultivators and other Qi Refinement cultivators, and increasing the dissatisfaction of the living beings in the world towards the Dao Sect, they were all within acceptable limits.

If he captured the Kun Peng later, he would announce this matter to the public. Then, the Heavenly Courts would take the initiative to apologize to the public.

Not only could he earn a reputation for the Heavenly Courts, but he could also make the Heavenly Courts have the impression that he was powerful enough to plot against the Kun Peng. It could be considered a plan to kill many birds with one stone.

There were fifteen years left until the battle in Xuandu City.

Discussions regarding the Primordial Violet Qi began to appear in the Primordial World. Many Qi Refinement cultivators talked about things that they did not dare to talk about normally. They talked about the difference between the Heavenly Dao Saint and the Great Dao Saint.

In the same year, various phenomena appeared around the Fire Cloud Cave. Many rare beasts of ancient times appeared.

According to some big shots who claimed to be the nephew of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s concubine, the 130th generation of his great-great-grandson, the atmosphere in the Fire Cloud Cave was very solemn. A few human ancestors would gather together to discuss important matters when they had nothing to do.

A storm was brewing.

Ten years left.

A piece of news exploded in the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm.

Back then, Ancestor Hong Yun’s Primordial Violet Qi was not only divided into eight wisps. Nine was the limit. It was divided into nine wisps. Moreover, the ninth wisp was about to appear. The phenomenon in the Fire Cloud Cave was a precursor!

After the Fire Cloud Cave discovered that the news had been leaked, they immediately sealed the connection between the Fire Cloud Cave and the outside world and closed the entrance to the Fire Cloud Cave.

Moreover, a large number of Emperor Xuanyuan’s generals were stationed around the Great Swamp. They seemed to be searching for something.

A small commotion appeared in the Primordial World. It was difficult to tell if the news was true or false. The Qi Refinement cultivators pricked up their ears and widened their eyes. They wanted to witness what could happen in the world.

There were constant eminences who had been recognized as Dao Transformation in the past.

The entire Primordial World was completely stirred up by a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi.

At that moment, Li Changshou had already confirmed that Kun Peng had heard the news through the senses of Mei Wenhua and her three easily assimilated sisters.

Mei Wenhua sensed that the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy had begun to accelerate the splitting of the Heavenly Fiends.

The curtains had been completely lifted. Li Changshou was about to head to the Xuandu City to make various array formations.

A huge hand slowly opened. Although the Kun Peng was huge, it could not escape the palm of the hand…

However, what Li Changshou did not know was that when he extended his hand, another huge hand below him enveloped him and the entire world.
