Chapter 454 As Cold As This
Reverse thinking referred to Li Changshou’s method of thinking when he could not think of any effective methods. It was also a deduction method that Shou often used.
When Li Changshou did not receive any positive feedback for a long time, he would start to think in the opposite direction. He would make bold assumptions, try steadily, and delve into the essence of the problem.
Therefore… “Uncle-Master, why did you bring me here?”
In front of the Glacial Palace, Ling Zhuzi raised the bronze mirror and asked softly.
Li Changshou smiled. Naturally, he could not say what he was thinking.
Firstly, it’s to prove my innocence.
Secondly, I brought you here. Even if you embarrass yourself when you see Heng’e, no one will blame you.
Thirdly, I can also get some live broadcast equipment.
Li Changshou cleared his throat and said softly, “Spirit Pearl, have you forgotten the cultivation that you have to do?”
Ling Zhuzi, who was dressed in a green and white robe, was stunned when he heard that. Then, his eyes lit up and he nodded solemnly.
He was doing it in order to become a normal man in his master’s eyes! Li Changshou looked at the high wall that was enveloped by an array formation in front of him and said to Ling Zhuzi, “In front of us is the legendary greatest beauty of the Three Realms, Heng’e, who lives in the Glacial Palace. As the saying goes, Yin and Yang are born together. It is the truth of the world. If you want to become what you want to become, you have to go through this test!” Ling Zhuzi said firmly, “I understand, Uncle-Master!”
His delicate face was filled with seriousness. He looked like a warrior from the Primordial World who was going to slay a dragon. He looked like a young man who was determined to reach the end of the world and explore the truth of the world.
Li Changshou patted Ling Zhuzi’s shoulder and smiled.
“Wait here first. I’ll go and ask around. Remember, don’t open the copper mirror now.”
After saying that, Li Changshou rode a cloud forward and cupped his hands in front of the Glacial Palace. He pointed forward.
The array formation of the Glacial Palace trembled slightly. Ling Zhuzi was confused.
Li Changshou waited quietly for a while. No matter how he deduced, Heng’e would not ignore his visit.
As expected, a moment later, the door of the Glacial Palace opened. A small head stuck out trembling. It was naturally Little Yu Tu, the Jade Rabbit.
From afar, Ling Zhuzi saw that “Uncle-Master Changgeng” had used a barrier to conceal him. Then, he said something to the young girl. Then, he saw that “Aunt-Master Changgeng” had handed a jade token to the young girl.
He seemed to be saying, “…I will use this method to enter the Glacial Palace later. Please prepare yourself, Moon Lord. There are still a few questions and a few suggestions.Many people have already gathered in front of the Water God Residence. Many immortals are using their immortal senses to investigate. You are receiving a lot of attention…”
Ling Zhuzi tilted his head and immediately thought of his “manly principles”. He straightened his head, puffed out his chest, and raised his head with a serious expression.
Just like the Heavenly Generals.
Li Changshou floated back and waited with a smile.
Ling Zhuzi held the bronze mirror and could not help but ask softly, “Uncle-Master, why don’t we go in directly and greet the other party?”
“Of course.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “This kind of thing is arranged in advance. How can there be a sudden attack?”
Ling Zhuzi seemed to be in deep thought.
In front of the Water God Residence, the original bronze mirror had been increased to three sides. The 300 meditation cushions that had been set up in advance were already filled with Immortal God Heavenly Generals who were not in their duties today. The surroundings were also filled with people.
“Yo, General Li is here too?”
“I’m here to increase the prestige of the male immortals for the Water God!”
“The immortal elder is not drinking at home. Is he here to join in the fun?”
“Hahaha, the Water God has such a magnificent feat. How can I sit alone on the Immortal Platform? I’m really curious about the grand event of the Heavenly Courts!”
It was lively.
It was not just the Water God Residence. In the Jade Pool and the Moon Palace, there was a bronze mirror each. The female immortals were also gathering there.
Those were only a small number of “spectators”.
Who among the Qi Refinement cultivators did not have immortal senses? At that moment, countless immortal senses were locked onto the bronze mirror in front of the Water God Residence.
There were even immortals from the Heavenly Courts who used the Cloud Mirror Art to aim at the bronze mirror. They hid in various corners and immortal seats, broadcasting the scene. For example, the residence of General Dongmu and…
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor held a memorial. There was a shallow mirror hidden in the memorial. The image in the mirror was the image in the bronze mirror.
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. The Jade Emperor could not help but complain.
Why was Changgeng so slow? He had already released the news yesterday that he was going to enter the Glacial Palace. It was already so late today, but there was still no movement!
At that moment, a female immortal rode a cloud outside the hall. She bowed and shouted, “Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you over for a meal.”
The Jade Emperor calmly put down the memorial and crushed the cloud mirror without a trace. He pretended to be tired and stretched.
“Alright. I’ll go to the Jade Pool now. You can go back first.”
The female immortal lowered her head and bowed. “Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother has ordered me to follow behind you and rush back together.” The corners of the Jade Emperor’s mouth twitched slightly. He stood up calmly, adjusted his clothes, and rode the cloud with his hands behind his back. He let the female immortal follow him.
A moment later, in the corner of the Heavenly Courts, General Qin Tianzhu, who had just arrived in the Heavenly Courts, rode a cloud and rushed to the front of the Water God Residence. He gathered at a corner to watch.
“Why is there no movement from the Water God?”
“Could it be that the copper mirror is broken?”
“Ah, yes, yes!”
As he spoke, the immortal light on the three bronze mirrors circulated and gradually, a clear image of a person appeared. Ling Zhuzi looked over and quickly retracted its head.
He heard the Water God’s voice again.
“Yes, this is the activation of the restrictions. Remember to hold it in front of your chest later. Don’t take random photos. After all, we are going to the residence of the female immortal in the Vast Glacial Palace…”
The image in the bronze mirror circulated, revealing the face of the white-haired, white-browed Heavenly Courts’ Water God.
Li Changshou cupped his hands at the bronze mirror and said warmly, “Everyone, have a good afternoon. Today, I will be entering the Glacial Palace. Due to the fear of others’ words, I have a thin face and many worries. Therefore, I invite everyone to be witnesses and follow me into the Glacial Palace to investigate. This operation has been approved by the master of the Vast Glacial Palace. In order not to disturb the peace of the Vast Glacial Palace, the bronze mirror Dharma treasure that my Disciple-Nephew Ling Zhuzi is holding will not make a sound. I hope that everyone will forgive me.”
After saying that, Li Changshou bowed and the immortals and Heavenly Generals in front of the copper mirrors returned the greeting.
It’s the live broadcast etiquette of the Primordial World.
Then, the scene began to change. Following Li Changshou’s back, he slowly approached the door of the Glacial Palace.
The door of the Vast Glacial Palace was ajar. Li Changshou raised his hand and knocked lightly.
“Is Fairy Heng’e in the palace? Previously, you went to the Moon Palace to visit me. I was in the midst of wandering the Great Void and did not wake up in time. Today, I specially came to the Glacial Palace to pay a visit as an apology.”
He heard a voice from the door.
“Lord Water God, please wait a moment. My master is bathing and changing his clothes. It’s not convenient for you to enter the palace now.”
At that moment, the immortals in front of the entire Water God Residence were excited. It was as if they had already seen something extraordinary!
Li Changshou smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll just walk around outside the palace.”
After saying that, Li Changshou rode a cloud and brought Ling Zhuzi to float under the laurel tree. He began to introduce the Connate Spirit Root and used the sound of wood being cut to attract everyone’s attention…
Many immortals knew that there was an expert of the human race in the Moon Palace. He had been at odds with the Moon Laurel Tree everyday. Since the ancient times, the Heavenly Courts had existed not long after they were established. However, they did not know much about this expert.
At that moment, Li Changshou found the “enthusiastic Qi Refinement cultivator, Mr. Wu,” who had been focused on logging for tens of thousands of years.
Bang!
Wu Gang held the huge ax in front of him. A faint layer of light wrapped around his body. That inexplicable dignity was transmitted through the bronze mirror.
Wu Gang’s declaration was below:
“My name is Wu Gang, the captain of the imperial guards of the ancient times. I’m here to protect Her Highness Heng’e’s safety. My cultivation level is mediocre. I’ve been a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal for tens of thousands of years. I walk the path of battle tactics. Recently, I’ve stopped killing demons and my skills have become rusty. Why did I cut the moon laurel tree? Her Highness has sworn that if the laurel tree does not fall, she would not leave the Glacial Palace… What? She had gone out previously? The oath seemed to state that she would not leave the moon. I remembered wrongly, I remembered wrongly. Water God, you go first. I’ll continue chopping trees. Help me persuade Her Highness.”
After saying that, Wu Gang picked up his ax and performed the ultimate technique of using an ordinary ax to look at the Moon Laurel Tree in front of the bronze mirror. He deliberately released his powerful Dao runes to prove that what he said was true.
Half of the male immortals from the Heavenly Courts could not help but cover their faces with their hands, while the other half smiled and squinted.
Li Changshou continued to circle around with Ling Zhuzi. He brought the immortals and gods around the Glacial Palace and patted the cold scenery of the Moon Palace.
When they arrived in front of the Moon Palace again, the door opened and a beautiful young girl walked out.
She changed from her usual attire and changed into a green and white tube top dress. She paired it with a chiffon shawl and her hair was combed into two rings. She also put on some light makeup on her face and looked more charming
It was naturally the Jade Rabbit.
“Lord Water God.”
She did not dare to look up at Li Changshou. She bowed and said softly, “Master, please enter and rest first. She has not tidied up properly. Please don’t blame her, Water God.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said, “Thank you.”
After saying that, he rode a cloud into the Glacial Palace and walked forward with his hands behind his back. Many immortals in front of the Water God Residence sent voice transmissions to their acquaintances. “Is this the jade rabbit that Fairy Heng’e raised? I didn’t expect that the jade rabbit would be so beautiful. I really don’t know how elegant that Fairy Heng’e is.”
“Unfortunately, he stutters and can’t even speak properly.”
“Yes, what a pity.”
Something seemed amiss.
The immortals, Heavenly Generals, and fairies carefully stared at the contents of the image.
Ling Zhuzi who was in charge of holding the bronze mirror was quite intelligent. At that moment, he was holding the bronze mirror and slowly adjusting its angle to capture the setting in the Glacial Palace.
Instead of calling it a palace, it was more like a courtyard.
There were hundreds of flowers fighting for beauty nearby, but there was only a single snow-white plum blossom among the flowers. It was beautiful and suppressed the masses.
In the distance, it could be considered a standard Immortal Abode-fake mountains, rivers, lotus ponds, buildings, immortal platforms, and immortal birds.
The first impression that the Glacial Palace gave people was that it was quiet and secluded. The palace occupied a vast area, but there were only specks of immortal light in the spotless hall. There were no signs of human activity for a long time.
Li Changshou was brought to the pavilion beside the lotus pond. He was led to a three-sided pavilion and sat down to drink tea.
The jade rabbit said with a trembling voice, “My, my master will come over immediately.”
“Thank you,” Li Changshou said warmly. The jade rabbit forced a smile and lowered her head to escape. Li Changshou invited Ling Zhuzi to take a seat together, but he rejected him softly. He even carried the bronze mirror to the corner and took a panoramic view.
It seemed that she wanted to take revenge on Li Changshou for ignoring her previously. Heng’e only arrived after an hour.
Li Changshou did not feel anything about that. In his previous life, he had understood that women did not have any concept of time when they were dressing up. However, the immortals, especially Qin Tianzhu, felt that Heng’e was too careless. She actually gave the ordinary god of the Heavenly Courts the cold shoulder!
However, following that… Suddenly, he heard a faint sigh. The image presented by the bronze mirror suddenly emitted a gentle glow.
The immortals subconsciously looked at the center of the bronze mirror. Many hot-blooded Heavenly Generals held their breaths. The immortals and gods who had visited the Hall of Marriage had also forgotten to blink.
At the edge of the bronze mirror, a light blue immortal light entered the image.
The moment he appeared, the old immortal’s face turned red. The Heavenly Soldiers could not take their eyes off him. The fairies lost their luster and the righteous gods were secretly shocked!
Her face was cold and charming. She had beautiful eyebrows, beautiful eyes, a fine nose, and cherry lips. Be it her face shape or her curves, they would be 30% worse if they were added or reduced. There was also a willow waist that could not be grabbed. Her neck was slender and fair, and her skin was crystal clear. Her proportions were wonderful.
She took a step forward and felt that this step represented the beauty of the time and a great virtue…
She said, “Sorry for making you wait.”
That soft and charming voice made him feel like his wait was worthwhile.
With Qin Tianzhu taking the lead, the Heavenly Courts’ main venue was filled with incense.
At that moment, it was peaceful in front of the Water God Residence until someone sighed softly. The immortals sighed and stared at the scene in the mirror.
In the Heavenly Courts, only the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool could sit facing each other and be on par. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother was a god of the Heavenly Courts. She was the leader of the female immortals. She was high and mighty. No one dared to compare her.
By the Heavenly River, the Heavenly Generals who were guarding the bronze mirror that Li Changshou had given them were also sighing.
Bian Zhuang was stunned. He muttered, “This time, I might really fall in love.”
Ao Yi sneered in disdain. “You can say that 365 times a year.” “No! It’s different this time!”
Bian Zhuang clenched his fists and said firmly, “I will definitely become a male immortal who is worthy of Fairy Heng’e! Hey, Ao Yi, what are you doing? Put away the immortal-binding rope. If you have anything to say, we can talk nicely. We are all brothers!”
With a few whooshes, two immortal treasure ropes tied Bian Zhuang up like a dumpling.
Ao Yi kicked Bian Zhuang, causing him to fly out and splash in the Heavenly River.
“Everyone, continue watching. Ignore him.”
The generals of the Heavenly River Navy chuckled and watched Bian Zhuang drift away.
The sound of small talk could be heard from the mirror. Most of it was meaningless. Everyone’s attention was focused on Heng’e.
Not long after, another immortal god praised in front of the Water God Residence.
“The Water God is really calm. He is actually so calm when facing the Grand Moon Lord. He looks straight ahead and speaks well.”
“We are far inferior to the Water God.”
“Look at what you’re saying. Can the Water God’s realm be the same as ours?”
Indeed, Li Changshou was very calm. He did not use the “Aged Beauties” series of Dharma artifacts to suppress it.
In his eyes, Heng’e was beautiful. Her figure, appearance, posture, and temperament were all top-notch. However, there seemed to be something missing…
Have I not seen many beautiful women?
Putting aside Fairy Yun Xiao, who was made of the most beautiful clouds in the sky, even Ling’e, who had transformed every day, had taken another path of charm. Xuanya might not lose to Heng’e in the future.
Aunt-Master Jiu was more biased and was not included in the discussion.
Li Changshou was not far from Heng’e. He was only five feet away from her, and there was only a beautiful round table between them. Heng’e’s eyes were clear and moving, but Li Changshou could not see any spirit behind them…
The woman in front of him was like an empty shell.
“Previously, when you went to the Moon Palace, I was in the midst of traveling the Great Void and comprehending the Great Dao. I did not manage to give you a response in time. I caused a small commotion in the Heavenly Courts, so I came to visit. I hope that you will not blame me for my sudden visit.”
Heng’e smiled shyly and nodded at Li Changshou. She said, “Lord Water God, please come in person. It’s really…”
Heng’e’s gentle voice echoed in his ears. Li Changshou frowned.
Strange, really too strange.
Li Changshou pondered in his heart. Why does Heng’e give me such a familiar feeling?
There was no danger during that period, but Li Changshou felt that something was amiss.
“Moon Lord.” Li Changshou went straight to the point. “Why did you look for me previously?” “It’s just an old matter.” Heng’e sighed softly. “I’ve heard that the Water God is intelligent and resourceful. He is the most trusted and wise advisor of the current generation of the Heavenly Courts and the Jade Emperor. Therefore, I want to entrust something to the Water God.”
Li Changshou frowned and said, “Logically speaking, you and I are both immortals of the Heavenly Courts. If you have any requests, I should not reject them. However, Star Lord, we have never met before. It might be inappropriate to entrust it to you so rashly…”
Heng’e sighed softly and put on a pitiful expression.
“I can give you whatever benefits you want, Water God.”
The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. He could sense that something was amiss.
At that moment, the entire Heavenly Courts was filled with “ohs”.
“Moon Lord, don’t joke.”
Li Changshou said seriously, “You can tell me what you want to entrust to me. If it’s nothing, I will naturally help you since we are both immortals of the Heavenly Courts. If you are in any trouble, please forgive me for not being able to follow your orders.”
“The Water God is really…”
Heng’e’s gaze was faint. She changed her tone and said, “Please allow me to explain slowly. Yu Tu, go and serve some tea and snacks.”
Yu Tu agreed and turned to leave.
Li Changshou stood up and smiled. “There’s no need to trouble yourself. I still have many matters to deal with. In a while, why don’t you write a letter about what you are going to entrust to me? I will reply to you.”
“Why is the Water God so anxious?”
Heng’e hurriedly stood up and stood in front of Li Changshou, almost bumping into him.
Ling Zhuzi who was at the side blinked. He did not understand what was going on.
Heng’e sighed softly and moved aside.
“I’m cold and aloof. I don’t blame the Water God for wanting to leave quickly. Water God, just go. I’m just a remnant of the ancient human race. I’m just a specter in the Moon Palace. I can’t hold the Water God back.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
What a powerful woman.
At that moment, he felt like there was a thorn in his back. Presumably, the Heavenly Soldiers from the Jade Emperor to the Heavenly Soldiers guarding the Heavenly Gate were shouting for him to stay. They wanted to hear what Heng’e wanted to ask.
Li Changshou did not care about that. The only thing he cared about was that Heng’e had taken out her identity as the princess of the ancient human race.
He had just taken in nineteen ancient human soldiers. They might have been from the same generation as Heng’e. At that moment, his relationship with her could not be too stiff.
Furthermore…
At that moment, Li Changshou was certain that Heng’e, who was talking to him, was just an incarnation!
She was playing such tricks in front of him and she wanted him to not recognize her. That was really… He played the fool in front of Pangu and played with the mud in front of Nuwa’s Temple.
The Dao in the Lingxiao Hall was lonely.
Li Changshou sighed and said in a low voice, “Forget it. On account that we are both humans, if you have any difficulties, I will help you without affecting myself.”
“Heng’e” smiled gently and bowed, inviting Li Changshou to take a seat again.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew past Ling Zhuzi’s sleeve and silently entered the wooden planks of the pavilion before disappearing…
Yu Tu sent over immortal fruit wine and a few plates of tea and snacks. She immediately lowered her head and left.
“Heng’e” did not mention what she wanted to ask for. She only chatted with Li Changshou. The immortals and gods in front of the Water God Residence watched with relish. Many old immortals were beaming.
However, Li Changshou was cautious with his words. He would think twice before he spoke. From the beginning to the end, he did not lose his composure at all. He was considered calm and composed.
In the dark, one of Li Changshou’s incarnations had already found a pavilion that was wrapped in immortal light under the Vast Glacial Palace.
With a sullen face, Li Changshou summoned some Dao runes from the Taiji Painting and silently melted the dozens of array formations around the pavilion. He hid and entered to investigate.
However, Li Changshou was caught off guard and barged into a messy room.
There were piles of thin clothes on the ground. There were more than ten large wooden cabinets on both sides. There were all kinds of dresses hanging on them. There were also rows of embroidered shoes, cloth boots, straw sandals…
There was a gorgeous full-length glass mirror in the closet. There were many decorations behind the wooden cabinets. There was a bed, a screen, a sink, a wooden bucket, a dressing table, a table, and a chair.
There were a few puppets floating in the pool.
Li Changshou heard a proud snort and looked for the voice. He saw a person lying on a soft couch, eating fruits and drinking immortal wine…
For the time being, he was certain.
Her back was slender and her face could not be seen. Her long hair was scattered messily. At that moment, she was lying on the cushion with her legs crossed. She looked at the palm-sized Glazed Tile in front of her and muttered from time to time.
“What Water God of the Heavenly Courts, the nobles of the Heavenly Courts, the man above General Dongmu? Hmph! Become my servant and do anything I ask in the future. I’m the most beautiful female immortal in the Three Realms! Ahahahaha!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He silently turned around and summoned the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting. He silently left the array formation and gently closed the “door” of the array formation.
Excuse me, goodbye!
The road to the pugilistic world is long, it’s better not to see him!
This… Is this a scene where you have been staying at home for too long?
He suddenly began to pity the Grand Magus Yi, who had died tragically at the hands of the demons and had been tortured into the core technique of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber…
He died just like that?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and soon had a foolproof plan. He held a damaged Shadow-Retaining Ball in his hand and opened the array formation again to enter.
