Chapter 620




“Ah!”
After the Dao Ancestor searched for Teacher, Teacher searched for Uncle-Master, and Uncle-Master searched for the Goddess…
No, the Goddess is searching with Uncle-Master.
I am a disciple of the Grand Pure One, not a disciple of the Heavenly Dao!
Li Changshou…
He did not dare to be angry or say anything.
The transmigrators from other families would go against the heavens and be favored by fairies. Then, they would hug the fairies and enjoy all kinds of opportunities.
Why did it become survival in the gap between the Dao Ancestor’s palm and development in the surging torrent of the Great Tribulation?
It was difficult.
Now, he still had many worries and many people he cared about. He had lived the life that he did not want to live in the past. That would be difficult.
He had to calculate everything and consider the consequences.
For example, at that moment, Goddess Nuwa and the Grandmaster of Heaven summoned at the same time. Li Changshou had to make a choice and think of a solution. He had to make sure that a Saint did not mind that his main body went to another Saint first. He had to make it through successfully.
He could not hide it. When facing a Saint, he had to tell him everything truthfully.
That was the basic requirement to communicate with the Saint.
The Grandmaster of Heaven was most likely involved in the Chaos Bell. He might be delayed for a long time.
It should be relatively simple for Saint Nuwa. Moreover, she had the Time Freeze mystical ability…
Moreover, based on their relationship, the Grandmaster of Heaven was indeed closer to him. His tolerance level should be higher.
After all, Yunyun was involved.
After some thought, Li Changshou set down the two sides of the story and took out two “main body” paper effigies from his sleeve.
His main body entered one of them at random. Then, he “parted ways” and rushed to the two Saint Daoist Sects.
Should he use the paper effigy that had deceived Randeng with to challenge the Saint’s judgment?
Li Changshou did not dare to do such an unstable thing.
Although he was jumping around happily below the Saint realm, Li Changshou had a good understanding of how powerful the Saint was.
Apart from a certain Saint who had a weak foundation and later on had his cultivation weakened by his teacher, the Saints were all advancing in the Dao Realm and life. They were infinitely close to the threshold of transcendence.
Half a day later, in the Green Touring Palace’s mystic realm, Li Changshou bowed outside the hall and did not enter. He only reported, “Uncle-Master, I was summoned by the Saint Nuwa previously. I’m on the way to the Goddess’s Palace. I’ll come over immediately after the matter there. Uncle-Master, please don’t blame me.”
On the throne in the hall, the Grandmaster of Heaven, who was playing with a pile of “huge eggs”, immediately laughed.
“It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry. You can go and do your business first.”
In other words, what was going on here?
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and bowed outside the hall. Then, the paper effigy transformed into a paper effigy that was one foot tall and sat down against the wall.
At the same time, in the small building in the center of the Goddess’s Palace, a Dao rune circulated. Li Changshou was pulled into the Goddess’s mystical ability domain.
He sat obediently in his exclusive seat and drew a story that he had prepared in advance. He did not speak much and did not dare to ask.
At that moment, Nuwa was lying in the pool with a few pieces of spiritual fruits stuck to her face. She was also wearing a headband embellished with pearl agates and looked artistic. Her snake tail swayed gently in the spiritual pool.
The Dharma artifact that looked like a Shadow-Retaining Ball at the side played a soothing and relaxing melody. Goddess Nuwa followed the fluctuations of the music and breathed, breathed, breathed, breathed…
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The life of a Saint was so simple and boring.
After a while, the Time Freeze domain had passed.
The sketches in front of Li Changshou had already piled up to three inches tall. He began to book them.
Suddenly, the Goddess of Mercy said, “Does Randeng have a feud with Yun Xiao in the original God-Conferment Story?”
Li Changshou paused. Then, he recalled that the Goddess should have heard about the God-Conferment matter from Senior Lang. However, she probably did not know much about it.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “The Great God-Conferment Tribulation is still ahead. I don’t know the details.”
“Stop pretending.”
Nuwa said calmly, “I know very well whether you know or not. Since you don’t want to say more, forget it. I can’t force a junior like you. Randeng’s death was unexpected. I originally thought that the Heavenly Dao would protect him.”
“I’m foolish. The Heavenly Dao is for the stability of the world. The process might not be too important relative to the outcome.”
Li Changshou quickly sealed the sketch and used a cloth to seal it. He also placed a restriction on it to prevent decay and damage.
He said slowly, “Uncle-Master, apart from painting, do you have something to remind me about?”
“Why? Can’t I let you come to my place?”
Saint Nuwa said calmly, “Taibai Jinxing is a busy person now. My Goddess’s Palace is ultimately cold.”
“Uncle-Master, why are you teasing me?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “After returning to the Heavenly Courts, I only cultivated quietly and waited for the Great Tribulation to arrive. I will naturally do whatever the Heavenly Dao wants me to do.”
Goddess Nuwa smiled and opened her phoenix-like eyes slightly. She smiled and said, “Are you afraid?”
“Yes, I’m very afraid.”
Li Changshou sighed slowly and said, “However, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do. Although I don’t have any intention of causing trouble, I’m afraid that I will forever be a variable in Grandmaster’s eyes. It’s all thanks to that senior who laid a good foundation. Tsk.”
Nuwa smiled and squinted. The spiritual fruit on her face disappeared.
The water in the pool rang. She transformed into a human and walked out of the pool. Rich holy light accompanied by a blue dress slowly slid down, covering the impeccable figure of the only female Saint.
A soft couch flew over. Saint Nuwa sat behind two curtains and yawned lazily.
This time, the Saint asked calmly, “Now that the final killing tribulation of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation is approaching, what do you think of the current situation of the three sects?”
Huh?
Li Changshou was a little puzzled. He looked up at Saint Nuwa behind the curtain and thought that it was strange.
Most of the time, Saint Nuwa was rather casual when she conversed with him. She was very peaceful and could easily pull him closer.
At that moment, the question seemed normal, but it did not match Saint Nuwa’s personality. She would normally say that…
“You destroyed the luck of the Western Sect. Are you planning to let the Dao Sect destroy the Western Sect first before fighting among themselves?”
Is the Heavenly Dao asking me?
Or is there a problem?
Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to answer, Saint Nuwa’s voice sounded in the depths of his Dao heart.
“I asked you to come this time to give you a reminder about something. Previously, you destroyed the destiny of the Western Sect and happened to satisfy the need for the Western Sect to experience hardship before it prospered. The Heavenly Dao has already asked me to make arrangements. Just answer me in your heart. It doesn’t seem to be difficult for you to multitask.”
It was indeed related to the monkey.
The Heaven Mending Stone was personally put down by Saint Nuwa. Moreover, Saint Nuwa had said ‘Heavenly Dao’ and not ‘Dao Ancestor’.
She was probably referring to the will that had stared at him for eleven or twelve years during the opening of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
Li Changshou smiled calmly and said, “The situation of the three sects is still very unclear…”
He answered with a bunch of formalities.
In his heart, Li Changshou’s heart stirred.
“Goddess, I don’t want to interfere with what happens after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It’s already decided. After the God Conferment ends, I will bring the people I want to bring away from the Primordial World.”
“Oh?”
Saint Nuwa asked via voice transmission, “Are you going to take Yun Xiao and Ling’e away?”
“Yes. After all, I’m in the Primordial World. I’m always in danger. If my relatives and friends who are related to me want to go with me, I will bring them along even if they are not restrained by the Heavenly Dao. There will only be seven to eight people at most.”
“That’s a good choice. You’re indeed much more reliable than that fellow.” Saint Nuwa chuckled and sighed slightly. She seemed to be a little disappointed.
Li Changshou almost asked, “What’s wrong?”
Li Changshou was very smart and did not ask anything.
He continued to spout nonsense and waited in his heart.
Not long after, Saint Nuwa continued to send a voice transmission. She said calmly, “You don’t even answer. How are we going to chat today?”
“I know my limits. I can’t help the Goddess resolve her problems.” Li Changshou looked ashamed. “After all, you are a Saint, one of the only six Saints in the world.”
“I used too much merit when I became a Saint. My current Dao Fruit is almost completely locked by the Heavenly Dao.”
Saint Nuwa sent a voice transmission helplessly.
“I can sense that the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions on me are becoming more and more obvious. Li Changshou, you’re that fellow’s hometown. Do you have a way to help me escape?”
“Well…”
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Saint Nuwa sent another voice transmission. “I can form an alliance with you and advance and retreat together in the Great Tribulation later.”
“You think too highly of me!”
Li Changshou almost cried. How could he say that casually?
“I’m just a stronger ant now. It’s not appropriate to ally with you!”
Saint Nuwa snorted in his heart.
“You can hide from Senior Brother Taiqing and Teacher Dao Ancestor, but you can’t hide from me.
Back then, I was quite familiar with your senior. We often played cards together and… discussed the Dao.
“People like you and him are best at taking a unique path. From the moment you arranged for Yang Jian, I can roughly guess what you want to do. Currently, you can no longer be destroyed just because the Dao Ancestor wants you to. This is your first plan. It is deeply tied to the Heavenly Dao. Is that right?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He decided to remain silent and see how much the Saint Nuwa had guessed.
Saint Nuwa continued, “On the one hand, you explained your intention to leave Teacher. On the other hand, you made all kinds of arrangements to leave the Primordial World. You have a greedy, peaceful, and thorough personality. You did it so that you could deceive Teacher and make things easier for you…”
“I swear to the Heavenly Dao that this matter is definitely not a lie!”
Li Changshou looked serious and remained silent.
“Goddess, you might have some misunderstandings. I admit that I’m doing what you said, but my ultimate goal is to escape safely. The conditions in the Chaos Sea are a little bitter, but it’s not impossible to survive. Moreover, that senior left behind clues to return home. These are all things that are worth exploring. You’re really wrong about that.”
“Oh?” Saint Nuwa crossed her legs and revealed a threatening gaze.
Li Changshou looked at her calmly with a helpless expression.
“Do you think I’m testing you?”
“I don’t dare. What is there for me to test?”
Li Changshou said, “Uncle-Master, please don’t blame me. I just want to safely control the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. I don’t have any desires that I shouldn’t have.”
Saint Nuwa leaned against the couch and supported herself with one hand on the armrest of the couch.
“In that case, I won’t force you.”
“Thank you for your understanding, Uncle-Master,” Li Changshou said again. “However, if I have the chance and the ability to help you in the future, I will definitely not reject your request.”
Saint Nuwa waved her hand gently. Lights and shadows circulated around her. Li Changshou subconsciously left the pavilion and sat on a cloud boat.
He sighed softly in his heart.
Li Changshou stood up and bowed to the cloud boat. He knew that it would be difficult for him to come to the Goddess’s Palace in the future.
It was also because he had not thought it through previously and had even thought of letting Ling’e come to the Goddess’s Palace to cultivate. Now, it seemed that that thought was indeed a little dangerous.
He was not in a hurry to go to the immortal mountain on the East Ocean.
Goddess Nuwa had already told him that it was the Huaguo Mountain. There was a stone on the mountain, and a stone monkey would jump out.
Everything was indeed arranged by the Heavenly Dao.
On the way back to the five continents, Li Changshou escaped into the void and could not calm down for a long time.
Li Changshou did not expect Saint Nuwa to suddenly ally with him.
On the other hand, Saint Nuwa had almost seen through his plan. It almost made him break out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, the Goddess of Saints had only guessed the beginning. Her later thoughts had gone astray. There were still many limitations.
Li Changshou could not agree to the alliance that Saint Nuwa had proposed.
On the surface, he could obtain the absolute support of a Saint. However, after careful analysis, he realized that this matter was unreliable.
If the Goddess of Saints wanted to escape the Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t that be true transcendence?
He could not do that.
Actually, what was different about living beings?
The Saint was at the peak of all living beings. He also had his own worries.
The two Saints of the Western Sect were worried that they would not be able to repay the loan. The Grandmaster of Heaven was worried that he could not shout out the Great Tribulation. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning was worried that his junior brother would be implicated.
When Saint Nuwa became a Saint, she had used too much merit. As a result, she was controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, she had a vision to escape the order of the Primordial World and escape the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao…
His teacher had also made his disciple worry for the sake of the Dao Sect and the Heaven and Earth.
Eh? Something seems amiss.
Forget it, there’s no need to care about such details.
Yang Jian was not the only one he wanted to arrange.
“Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, you’re really impressive ~”
Li Changshou hummed a ballad in his heart and sped up. He did not alarm any flowers or plants and escaped into the five continents to rush to the Green Touring Sect.
Not long after Li Changshou left the Goddess’s Palace.
Goddess Nuwa sat on the soft couch and fell into a daze. The wind chimes sounded from the window beside her, and the bamboo forest outside swayed slightly.
A blurry gray figure appeared outside the window. It seemed to be an old Daoist priest, but he could not see his face.
“Are you relieved?”
Saint Nuwa snorted and said, “I already said that this little fellow is really afraid of death. He won’t take risks.”
The old Daoist priest outside the window nodded slightly and said, “You can’t be careless.”
After saying that, the old Daoist priest’s figure trembled a few times and disappeared without a trace.
…
“Changgeng, look. How did I gain in the Chaos Sea this time?”
In the Green Touring Palace’s hall, Li Changshou walked among the dozens of huge “eggs” while the disciples of the sect watched. He kept feeling the appearance of the living beings inside and praised them.
What kind of mystic realm did the Grandmaster of Heaven find? Why did he get so many Primordial Beasts!?!
Speaking of which…
“Uncle-Master, didn’t you go to look for the Chaos Bell?”
The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled awkwardly when he heard that. He put down his arms and placed them behind his back. He looked up and sighed.
“I’m afraid that Jie School is destined to not rely on treasures to suppress the luck of the sect. We will have a chance of survival in this Great Tribulation.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
If you can’t find it, just say it. As a dignified Saint, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by your own disciples?
However, Li Changshou could see that the disciples of the Saint of Jie School were rather touched. They even said that they were holding hands and walking side by side. All the calamities disappeared like smoke!
The Sect’s Culture.
The Grandmaster of Heaven blinked at Li Changshou and said, “Duobao, distribute these strange beasts to your junior brothers and sisters. Let them serve as mounts or pets that are to be used during fights. They’re not bad. Changgeng, come… scrub my back.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Li Changshou bowed and followed behind the Grandmaster of Heaven obediently. They rode a cloud to the Great Array Saint’s bathhouse in the rear mountain.
Daoist Duobao agreed after a while. Then, he looked at Li Changshou and his master’s back view.
Ah, the new generation replaced the old. Master does not even need him to take a bath now.
A moment later, in the Green Touring Flower Pool.
The Grandmaster of Heaven laughed loudly and gestured for Li Changshou to turn around. He personally rubbed Li Changshou’s back.
“That’s right, Changgeng. You destroyed Randeng so easily and even arranged the Cosmic Ruler for Gongming. Yun Xiao did not see wrongly. You are really interesting.”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Uncle-Master, I got rid of Randeng because of a personal feud.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Eldest Senior Brother told you about the stone coffin?”
“Teacher said a portion,” Li Changshou said. “I only know that the expert buried in the stone coffin had once fought with the Demon Ancestor Rahu. He was almost defeated and killed. His corpse is not damaged. It exists on the Spirit Vulture Mountain. The coffin lamp gave birth to its own intelligence and refined the coffin and corpse into one, turning them into Daoist Randeng.”
“That’s true. It’s enough that you know so much.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven changed his tone and asked, “How long until the killing calamity?”
“One to two hundred years, or two to three hundred years,” Li Changshou said. “Uncle-Master, you should be able to deduce it.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven said, “I can’t be bothered to calculate… Can you go out of the Chaos Sea during this period of time and accompany me to block the Chaos Bell? You can return in less than 50 years. We will only try once. If we can’t do it this time, I will give up.”
Li Changshou blinked. “Uncle-Master, have you found traces of the Chaos Bell?”
“Of course.” The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled calmly. “I’ve fought with it for so many years. I naturally know it well. However, it’s not convenient to say it just now. In that case, find a reason and an excuse. We can openly go out of the Chaos Sea and secretly obtain the Chaos Bell. After the matter is done, you will get 70% and I will get 30% of the profits. As long as the Chaos Bell helps me survive the Jie School’s calamity, the treasure will be yours in the future. What do you think?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
‘He won’t let me do the work either!’
