Under the cold lotus platform, on the sparkling water surface, a white cloud slowly floated from the north to the south.
Li Changshou maintained the appearance of an old immortal with white eyebrows and white hair. There was a gap between him and Daoist
Ci Hang…
It was seven feet long!
He looked straight ahead and did not hear much. Although a barrier was formed around the two of them, the immortal power barrier was transparent. It would not cause any misunderstandings.
At the edge of the lotus platform, Zhao Gongming hugged his arms and said in confusion, “Junior Brother Lu Yue, why do you think Junior Sister Ci Hang will look for Changgeng to be alone?”
“Senior Brother, I really don’t know.”
Lu Yue sighed and said, “I’ve only heard that among the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, Junior Sister Cihang is gentle and upright. Her cultivation realm is not bad.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted. “Anyway, nothing good will happen.”
“That’s right,” Zhao Gongming said. “Now, things are starting to become clear. Changgeng is the person in charge of the calamity.
Changgeng is a disciple of the Dao Sect and the authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts. Even the Heavenly Dao owes him merit. This relationship is almost unclear. It’s reasonable that Chan School wants to rope Changgeng in.” Upon hearing that, Lu Yue began to worry. “Could it be that Chan School wants to…”
Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit looked at each other. Their expressions were a little serious. They took this matter very seriously.
Master Zhao said in a low voice, “Junior Brother Lu Yue, I want to ask you something. You have to answer truthfully.”
“Senior Brother Gongming, just ask. I will tell you everything I know.”
Zhao Gongming whispered, “The World Edge Mystic Realm, what exactly…”
Swoosh!
The Goddess of Golden Spirit unsheathed her sword three inches from its sheath, her eyes filled with warning.
Zhao Gongming’s Adam’s apple trembled. He changed the topic. “Did Changgeng make any mistakes?”
“How can I make a mistake?”
Lu Yue hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, I can use my Dao heart as a guarantee. Changgeng has been in the World Edge Mystic Realm for so many years. He has never touched any fairies. Even Old Madam Bian, who is the seventh Deputy Alliance Leader today, the Pavilion Master of the World Edge Pavilion, asked me several times if I should arrange some programs for Changgeng to relax during his busy work. I rejected all of them! Changgeng is staying in the World Edge Mystic Realm to do great things. He is plotting for all living beings in the world!”
Zhao Gongming nodded in satisfaction. “Then?”
Lu Yue blushed. “Old Madam Bian is too enthusiastic. She has always arranged for me…”
Clang!
The Goddess of Golden Spirit unsheathed her sword, which rippled with clear waves.
Lu Yue shrank his neck and closed his legs tightly. He subconsciously hid behind Zhao Gongming
“Hmph!”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit put away her sword and looked down at the situation below.
Zhao Gongming placed his hands behind his back and nudged Lu Yue with his shoulder. The latter heaved a long sigh of relief and stood nervously at the side.
Lu Yue was, after all, the number one poison expert in Jie School. Not to mention fighting with great mystical abilities and top-notch experts, he could bury a large number of Golden Immortals with his poisonous pills. However, in front of the eight disciples of Jie School…
He was just a junior brother.
At that moment, a golden light flashed across the sky. The Golden-Winged Roc flew back and landed beside Zhao Gongming and the others. It did not go down to disturb them.
Zhao Gongming asked, “Have you found the whereabouts of the Void Bodhi?” “No.” The Golden-Winged Roc shook its head in disappointment. “It seems that he was just short of escaping in advance.”
Teacher Water God had clearly said that it would be a great merit.
“He is indeed a powerful person.”
Zhao Gongming looked at the setting sun and sighed. “When he caused trouble previously, I was really worried for Changgeng.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, “We should kill him when his incarnation appears.’
However, Lu Yue said, “Senior Sister, Changgeng probably wants to use the coercion of the thief to say what he said previously so that the various factions of the Immortal Union will completely submit to him.” “Is that so?”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said disapprovingly, “I thought Changgeng almost made a fool of himself.”
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Changgeng is smart and resourceful. He won’t miscalculate easily.”
“That’s right!”
The Golden-Winged Roc praised from the side, “Teacher is the wisest person I have ever seen in my life!”
The three big shots of Jie School smiled knowingly.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Every time the Western Sect schemes, they almost have to lose a disciple of a Saint. The Void Bodhi has been plagued by the calamity and is wanted by the Heavenly Courts in the Three Realms. I wonder what will happen in the future. What are they fighting for? Just wait for the Great Tribulation to descend.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit revealed a faint smile. “If every time the Western Sect schemes, a disciple of a Saint will be schemed against by Changgeng, that’s not bad.”
Lu Yue pondered for a while and said, “From what the Void Bodhi said today, there are still many capable people in the Western Sect. We cannot be careless.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit lowered her head and looked at Li Changshou and Ci Hang, who had been chatting for a while.
At that moment, Li Changshou was frowning and deep in thought. He seemed to have encountered something that made things difficult for him. Daoist Ci Hang, who was at the side, looked guilty.
“What are they talking about?” The Goddess of Golden Spirit seemed rather curious.
Zhao Gongming was about to take out a few pieces of listening numinous treasures that he had obtained from Eldest Senior Brother Duobao.
Li Changshou said a few words to Daoist Ci Hang below. Ci Hang smiled and agreed. He bowed to Li Changshou again and turned around to leave on a cloud. He only sighed softly.
Li Changshou bowed at Daoist Ci Hang’s back and sighed softly. He rode a cloud back to the lotus platform.
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Gongming asked directly.
“Some matters regarding Chan School.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal. Let’s return to the five continents. Today, the Immortal Alliance has been established. The most difficult step had been taken. Later, they would have to operate on their own… Senior Brother Lu Yue, can I ask you for a favor?”
Lu Yue was shocked. He smiled and said, “Just say it directly. Why do you say ‘please’?”
“I might need you to stay in the World Edge Mystic Realm in the future, Senior Brother,” Li Changshou said seriously.
Lu Yue was originally happy to hear that. However, he saw his Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters behind Li Changshou, especially the sharp gaze of the Goddess of Golden Spirit…
“Well…” Lu Yue looked troubled. He whispered, “Changgeng, Junior Brother, I… need to rest.”
Huh?
He suddenly understood why there was a treasure like the ‘Unruffled Pill!
Li Changshou frowned and said, “I’m worried that the Western Sect will go to the World Edge Mystic Realm to cause trouble in the future. The World Edge Mystic Realm will also become a place where the various factions of the Immortal Union exchange information. If Senior Brother Lu Yue is not guarding it, it will really be troublesome.”
“Ahem, since we’re doing serious business…”
Lu Yue dragged his voice and looked at the Goddess of Golden Spirit weakly.
“Why are you looking at me?” The Goddess of Golden Spirit said calmly, “Pay more attention when you’re outside. Your reputation is rising, and your every move represents the image of the disciple of the Saint of Jie School. If there are too many rumors spreading outside, don’t blame me for teaching you a lesson!”
“Yes, yes. Senior Sister, don’t worry. I will definitely not let any news spread…” “Huh?”
“I, Lu Yue, will definitely not do anything to tarnish the reputation of Jie School!”
When Lu Yue made that promise that day, he was extremely resolute and serious.
If Li Changshou’s paper effigy had not seen it with his own eyes, Li Changshou would have really believed it if Lu Yue had not sat there for two days and accidentally entered the red and green pavilion…
There was no danger in the Immortal Alliance Meeting. Lu Yue had returned to the World Edge Mystic Realm to guard the place. Bai Ze and Jiu Wu had already retreated with the crowd.
At that moment, the Heaven Ascension Hall had already entered a period of rapid development. With Bai Ze in charge, Li Changshou was still at ease.
At that moment, the Western Sect’s attention in the Trichiliocosm was focused on the Immortal Alliance. That was Li Changshou’s main goal. Now, he had achieved it perfectly.
With the help of the Golden-Winged Roc and the suggestion of the Goddess of Golden Spirit, they went to the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom that the Western Sect had built everywhere to cause destruction and kill experts.
Only when the Goddess of Golden Spirit lost her interest did she embark on her return journey.
A month after the Immortal Union Meeting ended successfully, in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple on the South Ocean.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit bade farewell and left first.
However, Zhao Gongming was still worried. He made up an excuse to stay and drink tea. He deliberately sent the Golden-Winged Roc away and asked Li Changshou again, “Why did Junior Sister Ci Hang of Chan School look for you previously?”
Li Changshou smiled and sighed. “Actually, it’s very simple. She pleaded for Daoist Randeng and wanted me to stop targeting him in the future. I didn’t agree.”
“Just like that?”
“That’s all.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Senior Sister Ci Hang and I only have two sides. What else can there be?”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. “Then I’m relieved. I’ve returned!”
Li Changshou could only shake his head.
Who did they think he was!
After Zhao Gongming left, Li Changshou specially summoned the Golden-Winged Roc and asked, “Golden Roc, look. Do I look like someone who would be easily tempted by women?”
The Golden-Winged Roc smiled and said, “Teacher, you’re joking. How can you be infatuated with women?”
“What about this?”
Li Changshou turned around and transformed into the image of a young Daoist. It was 70% similar to his original image.
The Golden-Winged Roc pondered for a while. He…
He clearly hesitated.
Although Li Changshou had participated in the process of the Golden-Winged Roc being “tamed”, he still had 50 to 60% trust in the Golden-Winged Roc.
However, he could not let the Golden-Winged Roc notice his whereabouts.
When the Golden-Winged Roc returned to the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence to cultivate, Li Changshou first went to the South Ocean to take a stroll. He also observed the “fish” in the South Ocean and went to the outer space to take a stroll. Only then did he quietly return to the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou had been away for a long time. He thought that Ling’e would be worried and afraid.
However, when he quietly returned to the Little Qiong Peak, he realized that Ling’e was beside the spiritual beast enclosure, happily playing on the swing with Xiong Lingli… A certain Heavenly Courts’ Water God silently took out the composite array diagram of the Little Qiong Peak and prepared to let Lingle continue her revision later. He also wanted her to finish drawing!
Let’s talk about the Immortal Alliance.
In the next two years, the Western Sect was not at ease at all.
On the surface, the various countries had tightened their defenses and did not expand their sphere of influence.
The scattered factions of the Western Sect that were scattered everywhere quickly returned to the various incense kingdoms to strengthen the defenses of the incense kingdoms.
Under the “guidance” of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, the Immortal Alliance trained their immortal soldiers and gathered their experts to prepare for the first battle.
In secret, the Western Sect had been swindling and cheating non-stop for the entire day. They had been trying to break down the Immortal Union, secretly attacking, bribing, dividing, and sowing discord. They had done everything they could.
Under the guidance of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, the Immortal Alliance began to promote the incense offerings of the Heavenly Courts. They began to gradually devour the incense offerings of the various divine kingdoms.
Obtaining devotees from the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom would not only shake the foundation of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom, but it would also prevent the mortals’ beliefs from collapsing and causing a tragedy.
The two parties fought continuously in the open and in the dark. However, the disciples of the Western Sect had completely disappeared. There were not many experts in the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.
Daoist Wen Jing had also come to the Sea God Temple to inform them in the past two years. The information she sent was also very valuable.
Many experts of the Western Sect had entered the Blood Sea and seemed to be searching for a treasure.
Li Changshou quickly thought of the blood-colored lotus flower…
Unfortunately, Daoist Wen Jing did not know much about that matter. The Western Sect did not let her, who was born in the Blood Sea, join the search.
Regarding that, Li Changshou could only tell Daoist Wen Jing not to bother about it. He had his own plans.
The Taiji Painting, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda had been by his side for two years. He had even placed the treasures in front of his teacher’s portrait, but his teacher had not taken them back.
That explained the problem.
It was also because of that that the Little Qiong Peak, which had temporarily become a little cold because Bai Ze, Jiu Jiu, and the others had gone to manage the Heaven Ascension Hall, had been very lively for the past two years.
Li Changshou and Lingle’s spiritual platform seemed to have become two “chat groups”. The Taiji Painting, the Cosmic Ruler, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Heart-Piercing Lock, and the Flame Flag were chatting inside every day.
Let’s talk about the interesting things that happened in the early days of the Saint, the numinous treasures that he had fought against, and the spirituality of all kinds of treasures.
Although it was an eye-opener for Li Changshou and Ling’e, they felt tired after listening for a long time. In particular, the Pagoda Master had been egging Li Changshou on to bring the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors over to live together and expand the size of the numinous treasure chat group.
Fortunately, Li Changshou’s willpower was outstanding
Due to the subsequent calamity, it was indeed not appropriate for him to enter the heat wave realm with Fairy Yun Xiao at the current stage. He did not want her to be distracted during the calamity or be used by the calamity.
That day, Li Changshou was refining pills in the Pill Chamber. He was holding a porcelain bottle that contained the “Unruffled Pill” refined by Lu Yue. He was analyzing the medicinal properties carefully. It was indeed a “divine pill” of the same “tactical value” as his Flame of Heart!
If he used the same Dharma artifacts as Elder Bai, he might be able to purify the ‘evil aura’ in Senior Brother Lu Yue’s essence soul!
After pondering for a while, Li Changshou put away the pill and stared at the dancing flames in the pitch-black furnace. He was a little lost in thought…
Should I go into seclusion for a period of time and wait for the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss becoming a god?
The tree wants to be still but the wind will not stop. The Western Sect will definitely cause some trouble next. After all, the current situation is quite disadvantageous for the Western Sect.
Although Li Changshou did not want to take the initiative to participate in the matter regarding the blood-colored lotus, he had always been very concerned.
According to the information he had obtained at that moment, he could deduce that the blood-colored lotus flower should have been formed from the lotus seed of the destroyed twelfth-grade Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus. It was the backup plan of the Nether River Patriarch.
According to Wen Jing’s report, the Western Sect possessed a lotus seed of a twelfth-grade red lotus. That was the main reason why the Asura Clan sided with the Western Sect.
However, the Western Sect would not hand over the lotus seeds easily. Back then, Patriarch Nether River had defied the heavens and helped him revive. He had definitely provoked endless negative karma.
He then thought that the Western Sect was most likely searching for the whereabouts of the lotus flower. Therefore, there was a high chance that the Western Sect was not behind this matter.
Then, where did this blood lotus come from? Who was plotting behind the scenes?
The Asura Clan is causing trouble?
It was even more impossible.
At that moment, the Tribulation had already descended. How many times had the Asura Clan been kicked by a donkey before their ancestor could be resurrected during the Tribulation…
For a long time, Li Changshou’s gaze had been shifting back and forth between the Dao Sect, the Western Sect, and the Heavenly Courts.
However, regarding the Blood Lotus, Li Changshou felt that he had to jump out of the original framework and be more vigilant.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Li Changshou chuckled and began to put away the fire in the furnace, preparing to put away the pills.
At that moment, the power of the Heavenly Dao condensed in the Immortal Du Sect made Li Changshou’s hand tremble. He almost destroyed a cauldron of Spirit Pills.
This is?
Li Changshou looked at the gourd-shaped peak surrounded by the Heavenly Dao power and could not help but smile.
Elder Wan had finally broken through.
At the same time, in a mystic realm in the spiritual mountain of the Aparagodānīya Continent…
“Teacher, please save me! Please save me!”
In front of the treasures of the two Saints, an old Daoist priest with gray hair kept kowtowing. A wisp of green-black calamity luck on his forehead was extremely clear.
“Ah.”
The Saint sighed and slowly closed his eyes. “Junior Brother, why don’t we go to the Heavenly Courts?”
“Senior Brother, you’re right.” Saint Zhun Ti carried a potted plant that was filled with seven-colored light. He smiled and said, “You should go to the Heavenly Courts and meet the Heavenly Emperor today.”
