Chapter 340 Coincidentally Passing By

They were in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Heavenly Courts.

The Jade Emperor sat on the throne and looked at the civil and military generals in the hall, as well as the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang, who had just returned. There was a smile on his face.

My beloved subordinate Changgeng is really thinking about the Heavenly Courts all the time.

However, the Jade Emperor knew that the Immortal God that he was most satisfied with at that moment was purely thinking about things and considering everything… At that moment, the Heavenly River Navy was under Li Changshou’s orders to use the Heavenly River to march towards the North Heavenly Gate to prepare for the next wave of “descending from the sky”.

Bian Zhuang brought two Heavenly Generals to the Lingxiao Hall to report the matter. According to the Water God’s instructions, Bian Zhuang was currently hanging his head low to report the matter regarding Ao Yi’s rebellion. Bian Zhuang still had a conscience after all. When he reported, he did not fail to mention the Water God…

“The Crown Prince of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Shi, has been captured by the Water God. The rebels of the Dragon Palace were forced to retreat by the Water God. After the West Ocean Dragon King was hurt by the Water God, he had rushed to the West Ocean Eye to guard it. Due to the fact that Ao Shi also has a Deity Position, the West Ocean Dragon King is handing Ao Shi to His Majesty to deal with…” After reporting, the Jade Emperor nodded slowly and asked, “How’s the situation in the West Ocean Dragon Palace?” Bian Zhuang sighed and said, “No.”

“That’s all?”

“I saw it with my own eyes. There are only ten to twenty percent of the dragons of the West Ocean Dragon Palace left. There is a huge pit at the bottom of the sea which is full of dragon corpses.”

Bian Zhuang’s Adam’s apple trembled as he said softly, “According to the Elder of the West Ocean Dragon race, the minds of most of the living beings in the West Ocean Dragon Palace have been controlled. From what I saw, there were only a few hundred trusted aides around the West Ocean Dragon King. From the looks of it, the Water God must have had a peerless battle with the dragon race rebels! He protected the West Sea Dragon King and Mother Dragon!” The Jade Emperor could not help but frown. His voice was a little anxious. “Is the Water God alright?”

“Your Majesty, don’t worry.” Bian Zhuang hurriedly said, “The Water God’s robe is not even wrinkled at all.”

The Jade Emperor in white heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled and said, “I was overthinking. Changgeng is from Ren School. How could he be injured by such a lowly person? Minister Bian Zhuang, where is Minister Changgeng now?” Bian Zhuang said, “The Water God has asked me and the Heavenly River Navy to rush to the North Gate. He will be providing support for the North Ocean Dragon Palace at any time. I don’t know where the Water God is currently. He should be heading to the North Ocean.”

The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and pondered. General Dongmu, who was below the platform, stroked his beard and groaned. He took a few steps forward and bowed.

“Your Majesty, war has already broken out in the South Ocean and the East Ocean. The Water God can mediate with all his might but I’m afraid he can’t split himself up. Although His Majesty has already ordered the Water God to take care of the four seas, the four seas are in danger. The Heavenly Courts cannot ignore it.” “What you say makes sense, General Dongmu.” The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and ordered, “General Dongmu, order 100,000 troops to go to the East Ocean to help the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Then, a general will bring 100,000 troops to the South Ocean Dragon Palace to help.” General Dongmu immediately accepted the order and rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment to deploy troops. This time, the Heavenly Courts’ movements were not slow. Soon, 100,000 troops gathered at the South-Heaven Gate and the East Heaven Gate.

A good show like this, ahem, a big matter naturally had to do with the righteous and magnanimous Marshal Hua Ritian!

The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers in the South Ocean were led by Hua Ritian and two Heavenly Generals who did not deserve to have names. Considering that the other Heavenly Generals were not strong enough, the dragon race’s army and the Sea Clan’s rebel army were fighting fiercely everywhere in the South Ocean… Hua Ritian could only make a move personally. He hid and rushed to the South Ocean Dragon Palace to meet the dragon race.

It was reasonable and irrefutable. The Jade Emperor’s incarnation originally wanted to meet up Changgeng. However, when he arrived at the South Ocean Dragon Palace and met the South Ocean Dragon King as the Heavenly Courts’ Marshal, he did not see Changgeng at all. When he asked the Dragon King, the Dragon King also said that the Water God had never been there…

Hua Ritian sighed in his heart. He knew that he had chosen the wrong direction. His beloved Changgeng should have gone to the North Ocean or the East Ocean.

Just as he was feeling regretful that he could not fight alongside Changgeng, Hua Ritian’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly sensed the location of the Water God’s divine power. It seemed to be within a five-thousand-kilometer radius.

That could be considered a small power of the Heavenly Emperor.

At that moment, Hua Ritian and the South Ocean Dragon King had agreed to send out a “signal”. He hurriedly left the South Ocean Dragon Palace in a bid to meet up with Li Changshou.

However, what Hua Ritian did not expect was…

He unexpectedly obtained first-hand information about his minister fooling around and seducing a fairy during his office hours!

It was said that the sun had just left the Dragon Palace. His immortal senses scanned the sky that he had sensed but found nothing.

After searching carefully for a while, he still did not find anything

Hua Ritian could not help but feel a little competitive.

Hence, the main body in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall closed his eyes and activated the power of the Heavenly Dao to augment his incarnation! Hua Ritian’s eyes glistened with golden light. He immediately saw through the empty space and saw the white-haired old man and the beautiful figure shrouded in immortal light and white fog… Is Changgeng… flirting? Eh? That’s not right… Li Changgeng, you only ever used your incarnation in front of me. Your main body actually only appeared under such circumstances! The Jade Emperor’s incarnation laughed cursed in his heart and felt puzzled again… Who is this fairy? Her incarnation was supported by the power of the Heavenly Dao, and he could not see through it at all. Afraid of alarming the female immortal, Hua Ritian did not look further. He deliberately released his aura and swaggered towards the South-Heaven Gate.

After all, he was the Jade Emperor. He could not fly up and take the initiative to greet his ministers. Besides, it would not be nice if he directly exposed them. He felt that it was better to give them some mental preparation.

It was a small detail about the Heavenly Emperor. Minister Changgeng is a steady person. He should not be so careless as to not discover my incarnation. However, when Hua Ritian saw the Heavenly Courts’ army from afar…

Ugh! He said that the entire Heavenly Courts was just a pretense!

However… it makes me feel more at ease when beloved Changgeng is in this state.

Hua Ritian squinted and smiled. He first met up with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

After some thought, he led the 100,000-strong army to where Li Changshou was. Yes, they were just “passing by” while on the way to support the dragon race.

On a white cloud in the northwest of the South Ocean Dragon Palace, Li Changshou maintained the appearance of the Sea God and walked on the cloud with his hands behind his back. He explained the feud between the Western Sect and the Dragon Palace in detail to Fairy Yun Xiao. Naturally, Li Changshou hid most of the content of his schemes and added a little drama.

He told them about the development of the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean, the gradual change in the dragon race’s attitude towards the Heavenly Courts, and the constant oppression of the Western Sect… When he combined those lines, he could still speak clearly and without any confusion. Yun Xiao listened attentively and would ask a few questions from time to time. Every time she opened her mouth, she would go straight to the point. That made Li Changshou feel that she actually understood him.

I miss peaches.

In fact, Yun Xiao did not “understand him”. However, Yun Xiao could see the contradictions and problems everywhere. At that moment, Li Changshou realized why the big shots of Jie School were more or less in awe of Fairy Yun Xiao…

The questions she asked were really too difficult to answer. For example, she asked, “Fellow Daoist, how can you be sure that what you deduced will definitely happen? There are variables in the Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao often resonates. Sometimes, deductions would be concealed by others. These are actually not accurate. Since the Saint has the ability to deceive the heavenly secrets, the Saint might also have the ability to create them. Your cultivation level is not even at the Golden Immortal realm. If you make a mistake, wouldn’t you be risking your life?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and answered seriously, “I’m not good at deduction and divination. Fairy, you also know that I have not cultivated for long. My Dao realm has not reached that level. When I deduce, I will not be able to encounter many of the heavenly secrets.” Yun Xiao asked curiously, “How did you do that?”

“By thinking.”

Li Changshou pointed at his heart. In the Primordial World, he had to follow the local customs. He could not point at his head.

“By thinking?” Yun Xiao blinked. “Can you tell me in detail?” “Of course.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Firstly, the deductions I made are all about the general direction of development of this matter. I have to try my best to avoid small variables. Otherwise, my mind will definitely not be enough. The method I’m used to using is to list out every possible situation and then make the important events that appear in these situations simple options. It’s as if a series of squares are strung on a string, and a few different branches are formed… Can you think of such a situation?” Li Changshou gestured with his hands while Yun Xiao nodded slightly. He continued, “When you list all the possibilities and development directions, you can respond to each situation and degree in advance according to the different possibilities. When this happens step by step, the squares on one line will be lit up. Then, we will know the general development sequence.” “I see…”

Yun Xiao hummed softly. Then, her eyes were filled with admiration. She said, “In terms of planning, that should be the right thing to do. However, that might be too tiring.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’ve been thinking about the dragon race for more than seven years.”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly and asked softly, “Don’t you feel mentally exhausted?”

“A little. However, compared to repayment, this bit of exhaustion is nothing,” Li Changshou replied with a smile.

“Then, how long did your longest thought process last?”

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Seventeen years.” Once he said that, Li Changshou’s spiritual will, which had been quiet for a while, started to beep continuously… The Pagoda Master scolded jokingly, “You are indeed a little fellow that I have taken a liking to. You can think about a matter for seventeen years! You’re incredible!”

The Cosmic Ruler continued, “Damn it, you’re so stubborn!”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and took it as a simple compliment. Yun Xiao said gently, “Can I ask why you took so long to think about it?”

“Because of the Dao Sect.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “However, the main reason is that I’m in the Dao Sect. I can’t let you ask me questions continuously. Can I ask you a few questions too?”

“Heh.” Yun Xiao chuckled. “Just go ahead. If you can be honest with me, why can’t I be honest with you?”

Li Changshou spread his hands. “Fortunately, we’re not alike.”

Yun Xiao could not help but smile even more. Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, “I often hear that you will be stronger when you meet the strong, and weaker when you meet the weak. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Fairy Yun Xiao could not help but pout. “Why are you testing me?” Even her rebuke was so gentle.

After careful consideration, she answered, “In my opinion, it is a good thing.” “You’re wrong. This is a bad thing no matter what.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Firstly, my strength is unstable. There are too many variables. Secondly, if I have to rely on the strength of the enemy to determine my own strength, I would be led by the nose. The most important thing about scheming is to have one’s own rhythm and not be affected by the enemy… Of course, that’s just a superficial idea of mine.”

Fairy Yun Xiao pondered carefully and nodded slowly. She smiled and said, “Yun Xiao has learned something.” Li Changshou cleared his throat and asked, “Fairy, if you consider it carefully when you compete with others, you’ll be several steps ahead of them. Wouldn’t that be a guaranteed victory?”

Yun Xiao subconsciously raised her hand to adjust a strand of hair beside her ear and said, “It’s not a sure win. Sometimes, if you plot too much, the other party will destroy you.” “Alright.” Li Changshou praised her in his head.

Yun Xiao smiled and asked, “Lord Water God, do you have a way to resolve this situation?”

“It’s simple. Stand on each floor.” Yun Xiao fell into deep thought and pondered over it carefully…

At that moment, Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and saw the white cloud floating in the sky and the formation of Heavenly Courts’ troops. Heavenly Courts’ troops? Why did he come here instead of staying at the South-Heaven Gate? Is he playing the ambush card? Then, Li Changshou saw the Heavenly Marshal standing in front of the Heavenly Soldiers…

That’s fine.”

Li Changshou said, “Fairy, do you want to go with me?”

“Yes,” Fairy Yun Xiao said gently. “As long as you’re not afraid that I’ll cause trouble for you. I’m fine.” Li Changshou smiled and rode a cloud to welcome the Heavenly Courts’ troops. When they were a little closer to the 100,000-strong army, Yun Xiao exclaimed softly, “Golden Body of Merit, blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Could that be the incarnation of Uncle-Master Jade Emperor?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. It seemed that even the big shots of the Dao Sect could recognize him! How much of a failure is the Jade Emperor’s incarnation!?!

However, Li Changshou was still jealous…

Yun Xiao stopped outside the cloud and did not continue forward. Clearly, she did not want to meet the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for her to bow or not.

Li Changshou walked forward and bowed to Hua Ritian. Hua Ritian raised his eyebrows at him.

“Water God, who is that fairy?” Hua Ritian smiled and said, “Why don’t you introduce her to us?”

Li Changshou said seriously, “That’s my good friend, the eldest outer sect disciple of Jie School, Fairy Yun Xiao.”

Hua Ritian’s eyes lit up. He took the opportunity to put his arm around Li Changshou’s shoulder and punch him lightly in the ribs. “Well done, Water God!”

However…

Ding!

Hua Ritian felt as if he had struck the Cosmic Barrier. A wisp of rebound force was sent back along the edge of his fist. Mysterious Yellow Pagoda? Hua Ritian looked at Li Changshou and then at the beautiful figure in the distance, who was wrapped in clouds and could not be seen clearly. As the mighty Heavenly Emperor, he actually… felt jealous. Li Changshou sent a voice transmission calmly. “Fairy Yun Xiao has already recognized Your Majesty.” Hua Ritian retracted his arm and raised his head. The armor on his body emitted a faint glow, making him look more awe-inspiring and dignified. “Ahem, yes! Water God, is there a war in the South Ocean? Let’s rush there to provide support so that more living beings will not be implicated.” “Marshal Hua, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou said seriously, “The Dragon Palace has already dealt with the situation everywhere. Since we’re here, why don’t we go to the Sea Eye and guard it? That’s the weakness of the dragon race.” “Sure!”

Hua Ritian nodded. Then, the two of them looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with doubts.

The Sea Eye…. how do I get there? The dragon race had hidden the Sea Eyes of the four seas. The Dao Ancestor had used his great Dharma powers to conceal the heavenly secrets of the Nine Polluted Springs, in case someone found it and caused chaos in the world.

At that moment, he probably could not find it without the guidance of the South Ocean Dragon Palace or the deduction of the Saint…

Suddenly, Fairy Yun Xiao’s voice entered his ears.

“Fellow Daoist, there are some abnormalities 90,000 kilometers to the southeast. The universe is in turmoil. There seems to be a large number of living beings shifting.” Li Changshou’s Dao heart trembled slightly. He immediately discussed softly with Hua Ritian. Then, Li Changshou and Yun Xiao took the lead and rushed to the place where the universe was in turmoil. Hua Ritian rushed over with the Heavenly Soldiers.

On the way, Yun Xiao took the opportunity to ask, “What if this place is a feint attack by the Western Sect?”

“At this moment, we can’t determine if it’s a feint attack or not. The direction of the other party’s attack might be the eye of any sea in the four seas. After all, what they want to do is to force the dragon race to hand over the treasure vault.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “However, Fairy… I wasn’t making a casual remark when I said we should stand on every floor. Although I’m not too confident, I’m prepared to deal with it.” “Then, how confident are you, exactly?” “94% to 95%.” Li Changshou thought for a while and added, “Probably.”
