“Senior Brother, are you really not going to take a look…”
“Just send Master off.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Although Master doesn’t let us go, he won’t really scold you.”
In the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, Li Changshou’s expression returned to normal after he stood up. His eyes were clear and his face was calm. There was nothing unusual about him.
Ling’e bit her lips gently and wanted to say something. In the end, she only sighed softly and turned around to take two steps forward. A ray of golden light carried her out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Suddenly, he heard a soft sigh. Two wisps of immortal light appeared beside Li Changshou.
The two immortal lights chased each other and transformed into the figure of the Lady of Earth.
She was dressed in an ancient dress and looked at Li Changshou with the kind and gentle gaze of a mother.
“Aren’t you going to send me off?”
The Lady of Earth asked softly. She held her hands in front of her and stared at the young Daoist in front of her.
“It doesn’t change anything.”
Li Changshou bowed to the Lady of Earth and slowly sighed. He sat beside the treasure pool and was in a daze.
The Lady of Earth stood quietly at the side. Her body seemed to be illusory. It did not exist here or in the world. It was like a three-dimensional painting.
After a long silence, Li Changshou suddenly asked, “When will the remnant will of the Pangu God move?”
The Lady of Earth did not expect Li Changshou to suddenly ask that. Surprise flashed across her eyes. “Why are you suddenly asking about that?”
Li Changshou retracted his gaze and smiled.
“I just suddenly thought that the Great God-Conferment Tribulation should be fully activated with Master’s departure. I’m afraid that I will suddenly be distracted at the crucial moment of the Great Tribulation.”
However, Houtu remained silent for a long time before saying, “Do you know anything about this matter?”
“Some, not many.”
Li Changshou said slowly, “Based on the Heavenly Dao that I understand now, the Primordial One should be the last will of the Pangu God. It resonated with the Great Dao and gave birth to a living being that protected the stability of the world. However, there are a few things that I don’t understand. Goddess, can you explain them to me?”
“Yes.” The Lady of Earth slowly took a few steps forward, folded her skirt, and sat ten feet away.
At that moment, the Lady of Earth’s temperament was a little contradictory. She looked like a young girl who was ignorant of the world, but also like a wise person who had seen the vicissitudes of life.
She said, “If I can tell you, I will naturally tell you. After all… you were the one who summoned me from oblivion. I owe you a karma, a huge favor.”
Li Changshou did not stand on ceremony and said, “The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc is a part of the Heavenly Dao. This place should be under the attention of the Heavenly Dao.”
“Yes or no.”
The Lady of Earth said gently, “The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc is formed by my Dao Body. The Heavenly Dao cannot corrode my will. However, I have to follow the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions on reincarnation. Only then can the Six Paths of Reincarnation be connected to the trichiliocosm and the Primordial World through the Heavenly Dao.”
As she spoke, she tapped her slender fingers gently. Li Changshou heard her call softly in his heart.
“If we speak here, the Heavenly Dao will not be able to investigate.”
Li Changshou sighed in his heart.
The Lady of Earth asked in his heart, “Are you blaming the Heavenly Dao? Or do you hate the Heavenly Dao?”
“I don’t,” Li Changshou said. “After all, the Heavenly Dao is not a living being. Hatred has to be directed at a corresponding main body. Moreover, at the end of the day, this is just a matter of creation messing with people.”
“Actually, you can treat the Heavenly Dao as a living being.”
A hint of hesitation flashed in the Lady of Earth’s eyes. She chuckled and said, “Your Dao can make up for the lack of the entire Heavenly Dao. This is probably why Teacher and Senior Brother Taiqing value you so much. I can’t ask you to do anything. However, if possible, this balanced Dao is needed between living beings and the Heavenly Dao.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Goddess, you mentioned the carefree… Does the Primordial World have absolute carefreeness?”
Goddess Houtu said gently, “That will depend on how you comprehend it. Teacher could be called carefree, but he can no longer escape the Primordial World and cannot be cut off from the Heavenly Dao. Instead, he is restrained in the world. Living beings like Teacher, who had existed for a long time and had reached the peak of the Dao Realm, are restrained in the world and could not travel in the Chaos Sea. It was a form of torture. Senior Brother Taiqing is also known as carefree. He can leave the Primordial World at any time and abandon his position as a Saint. However, he is influenced by the Pangu God and adheres to the ideology of protecting the world. He has also accepted the control of the Primordial Violet Qi.”
“Control?”
“I was wrong.” The Lady of Earth smiled.
He was clearly saying that on purpose.
Li Changshou thought for a while and smiled. “The Goddess is actually really carefree. The Heavenly Dao cannot affect you. The Saint respects you and is unrestrained in this small world.”
“Carefree?”
The Lady of Earth looked around and hugged her elbows gently. She leaned forward slightly and said gently, “Actually, I will be a little bored.”
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything.
He had already obtained the information he wanted.
Erosion, Control, and treating living beings.
Suddenly, the small world in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc trembled. Immortal light swayed everywhere.
Li Changshou was about to stand up when the Lady of Earth gestured for him not to care. She used her bare hands to create immortal clouds and tapped open a cloud mirror, revealing a colorful path.
Qi Yuan’s figure flew past the path. The old Daoist priest’s appearance began to gradually fade. He gradually transformed into a middle-aged Daoist, a young Daoist, a young man, and then a child. Finally, he transformed into the shape of a fetus spirit and turned into a light spot the size of a green bean. He entered the colorful vortex at the end of the path.
The scene changed. Lightning flashed in the Reincarnation Immortal Island of Fengdu City. A beam of light pierced through the layers of black fog above the Netherworld and disappeared into the void.
The phenomena of flying bears appeared on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. The purple lightning turned into the Azure Dragon and White Tiger and roared.
In the South Continent, thunder rumbled in the clear sky everywhere. A huge gust of wind blew in the home of a noble in a large city…
The wind, rain, thunder, and lightning rumbled. The beasts, insects, and ants were shocked.
The cry of an infant echoed in the Netherworld. The phenomena everywhere disappeared. The ghosts of the Netherworld looked at the land of reincarnation, their eyes burning with yearning.
In the Heavenly Courts, the golden pillar in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall flickered and suddenly began to spin rapidly. However, no one’s name was revealed.
The Jade Emperor looked up at the roof of the hall and chuckled. He closed his eyes and focused. He was naturally busy using his incarnation to cause trouble.
A moment later, there was a clap of thunder in the sky.
Li Changshou had once used the Qi Gazing technique to see the Tribulation Sword floating above the Primordial World slowly sink. The tip of the sword was almost touching the Shang Nation.
All living beings were frustrated, and cultivators were uneasy.
In the Grand Pure One Temple, the thin elder opened his eyes slightly and sighed softly.
In the small courtyard of the Three Pure Ones behind the Jade Void Palace, the South Pole Immortal received the order in a low voice and turned to look for the White Crane Child.
The Daoist under the tree kept pinching his fingers and frowning. The smile on his lips gradually disappeared.
“South Continent…”
On the white jade steps of the Green Touring Palace, the young Daoist who was leaning on the steps chuckled. There was a look of indifference in his eyes as he continued to look at the “little bell” beside him.
At the same time, the Grandmaster of Heaven began to deduce with his fingers. He frowned and muttered,
“The mortal world? The change of the human dynasties? It corresponds to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation of the three sects? Using the subordinates of the Human Emperor to fill the vacancy of the Heavenly Courts’ legitimate gods? This… is quite interesting.”
Spirit Mountain, mystic realm.
The two old Daoists opened their eyes and said, “Senior Brother” and “no need”. Then, they fell silent and closed their eyes.
In the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.
Li Changshou stood up and seemed to have let go of something. He felt much more relaxed.
He was not a wishy-washy person. He should let it go.
Li Changshou’s Great Dao balanced the relationship between the Heavenly Dao and living beings. He explored the survival of living beings in the world and tried his best to reduce the path of influence on the world itself.
On the other hand, the Heavenly Dao used his master to balance the Great Tribulation.
The logic was simple—
Yun Xiao was there. After his master reincarnated, he would most likely be taken away by Chan School.
The Heavenly Dao had given him a lesson on “balance”. He remembered this grudge. He had already prepared the method to break through the situation. There was no need to be too conflicted.
The game had just begun.
Li Changshou turned around and bowed to the Lady of Earth. He was about to bid farewell.
The Lady of Earth said, “Changgeng, can you report something to the Jade Emperor or Teacher?”
“Yes, Goddess.”
“Just now, the Heavenly Dao revealed that the final killing tribulation should be in the South Continent and the mortal world of the human race.”
Goddess Houtu’s eyebrows were filled with worry.
“If the God-Conferment Tribulation is only targeted at the Dao Sect and the Western Sect, can you restrain the immortals of the three sects and not kill the innocent in the mortal world? The power of living beings that millions of mortals have died and tens of millions have dissipated is far inferior to the death of an ancient and mighty figure.”
Li Changshou said, “I’ll report this matter to the Jade Emperor later. It’s more appropriate for the Jade Emperor to go to the Purple Cloud Palace to invite the Dao Ancestor’s decree.”
“Yes.” Houtu nodded slightly. “Thank you.”
“Goddess, why thank you?”
Li Changshou sighed softly and revealed a gentle smile. He said, “Mortals are innocent because of their ignorance. They are truly carefree if they can live happily their entire lives.”
Goddess Houtu smiled and did not say anything. Li Changshou bowed deeply to her and was sent out gently by the golden light.
Indeed.
Li Changshou sighed softly.
In the end, the Lady of Earth avoided the first question she asked.
The last will of the Pangu God was indeed related to the matter of the Magi.
Li Changshou was already confident in plotting against the three sects. He was confident that he would be safe.
However, it was really difficult to control this matter. He could not predict the consequences. If he wanted to be stable, it was best to kill the “variable” that was not controlled and calculated by him.
Huh?
What is going on in front of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc?
Li Changshou stood on the empty space beside the Reincarnation Disc and looked at the scene of the “sea of people” in front of the Reincarnation Disc dissipating. He could not help but tilt his head.
Did the Netherworld cause a huge commotion?
Ling’e was standing near the Reincarnation Vortex. At that moment, she was lowering her head and wiping her tears. Not far away, she could see the backs of the ten Yama Kings leaving together. She could also see the backs of the ghostly servants, ghost generals, judges, and the Marshals of the Netherworld.
The ground was filled with orchid petals.
On the bridge in front of the Reincarnation Vortex, Immortal Meng Po was collecting the huge bowl.
Not far away, Li Changshou saw Ox-head and Horse-face hugging their arms and holding their headgear. They were cursing the dozen or so Netherworld servants who were kneeling in front of them.
Horse-face was calmer. He persuaded, “We can only find them in a hurry. Don’t scare them.”
Ox-head could not help but grit his teeth and scold, “That’s all? You still have the cheek to say that you’re from a royal family of musicians in the Great Shang Kingdom?”
An old-looking, well-dressed ghost servant cried,
“Marshal! Marshal, you have to be reasonable! You found us an hour ago. We could not find the bell and the bell for a while, so we could only play the clay ocarina.
We thought that the sound of the clay ocarina was originally just a whimper. It was just nice to use it to send them off…”
“Are you teaching me how to do things?”
“I don’t dare. I don’t dare. Marshal, please spare me.”
“This is reincarnation. Do you know about reincarnation? You have lost your lives in the mortal world and are born from death. That is when you play music. This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, representing new life and hope. You should have done something happy just now! All of you! You’ve embarrassed the Jade Emperor’s incarnation this time!”
Ox-head stomped his feet in anger. “Didn’t I give you gongs and drums? Why don’t you beat them or blow them? You only know to mess with these things in the Netherworld every day. Where is this place?”
“The Netherworld…”
“That’s right… Aiya, you dare to talk back!”
Li Changshou, who was not far away, was speechless. The corners of his mouth twitched.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation?
Alright, he roughly knew what had happened outside just now. From the fact that the sky was filled with ghosts when they dispersed, he guessed that his master’s farewell ceremony would definitely be abnormally lively.
“View”.
Alright, Master is a prideful person. He must have felt good just now.
Li Changshou’s mood inexplicably improved. He floated to Ox-head and Horse-face with his hands behind his back. When he was still far away, he deliberately coughed, scaring Ox-head and Horse-face into putting on their headgear in a flurry.
Outside Fengdu City, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation hid his tracks and escaped quietly. He felt inexplicably guilty.
At the same time.
The Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain sounded. The traces of the Green Touring Palace appeared in the sky above Golden Ao Island.
The two Saints of the Chan School and Jie School gathered their disciples almost at the same time. Even at the crucial moment of their seclusion, they had to stop cultivating and rush to meet the Saint.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning’s figure appeared in the hall of the Jade Void Palace and sat quietly in the main seat.
The twelve Golden Immortals rushed over quickly. The Golden Immortals lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
The Green Touring Palace of the Grandmaster of Heaven was quickly filled with disciples. The reputation of Jie School was not empty.
In fact, he was rather humble.
Half a day later, the Jade Void Palace was filled with immortals.
Ever since ancient times, such situations rarely happened.
In the Jade Void Palace, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said slowly, “The Great Tribulation of the world, the creation of the mortal world. The operation of the Heavenly Dao and the appearance of the Great Tribulation should be above the gathering of the destiny of the Human Emperor of the South Continent. My disciples are all in the midst of the calamity. They have to enter the calamity. If there are insufficient sources of fortune, lack of luck, or negative karma, they naturally have to enter the rankings and be restrained by the Heavenly Book. There is nothing wrong with the Heavenly Dao giving rise to living beings. You have to make more preparations to deal with the calamity.”
As soon as the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning finished speaking, the disciples of Chan School could not help but look at each other.
A middle-aged Daoist with a dignified face and dressed in a silver Daoist robe lowered his head and bowed from his seat. He was naturally Celestial Venerable Wen Shu, one of the twelve Golden Immortals.
He asked, “Teacher, is there a way to avoid this calamity?”
“Although there is a way to avoid it, it is not perfect.” The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning’s eyes were half-closed. He said slowly, “If my disciple has a rich source of fortune, he can take in one or two disciples to face the tribulation and enter the Heavenly Dao sequence to become an immortal of the Heavenly Courts.
The intention of this Great Tribulation is ultimately to rise for the Heavenly Courts and manage the Three Realms.”
The immortals of Chan School heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not bad to have a way to avoid the Great Tribulation.
Another immortal asked, “Teacher, is Junior Brother Changgeng from Ren School really in charge of this Great Tribulation?”
“Changgeng has become a god on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Don’t become enemies with him.”
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said slowly, “Don’t say anything to Changgeng.”
The immortals lowered their heads and agreed. Another immortal asked if there were any mystical abilities or Dharma spells to avoid the Great Tribulation. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning then began to preach.
This was a meeting between the Saints of Chan School and Jie School. It formed a clear contrast.
In the Green Touring Palace, the Grandmaster of Heaven sat on his throne. He looked troubled and frowned.
The immortals in the hall did not dare to speak. The eight disciples, the seven immortals, and the second-generation elites standing on the white jade steps were all a little uneasy.
There were still many experts from Jie School who were scattered in the trichiliocosm. They had yet to rush back in time.
For example, Lu Yue, who was recuperating in the World Edge Mystic Realm.
“Tsk! Hiss! Ah…”
The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed and frowned. “This Great Tribulation is actually going to revolve around the change of the position of the Human Emperor in the mortal world of the South Continent. Do you have any ideas? Just say whatever you want.”
The disciples looked at each other and could only shut their mouths.
Daoist Duobao asked, “Master, why don’t you ask Junior Brother Changgeng?”
“No.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven said calmly, “Previously, a child of a huge calamity was born. The Heavenly Dao’s calamity was completely affected. From this moment on, it has already entered the true killing calamity. The will of the heavens was like a blade that could strike at any time. However, everything could be traced. At that moment, the outcome was still unknown. Changgeng is an important minister of the Heavenly Courts who is in charge of the Great Tribulation. We can’t take the initiative to look for him later.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit asked, “Master, why don’t we start a war with the Western Sect and resolve a portion of the calamity first?”
“Don’t act rashly.” The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed and said, “Our Jie School has no treasure to suppress the destiny of the sect. At that moment, every thought of yours might be the result of the interference of the Heavenly Dao.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned and did not say anything. She pondered on her own.
Zhao Gongming asked, “Master, do you have a way to avoid the calamity?”
“For now, it’s best not to move,” said the Grandmaster of Heaven. “After thinking about it, I have only one way to avoid the Great Tribulation—defend. From today onwards, all of you return to the Cave Abode and the Dao field to cultivate. You cannot move rashly or walk around. Whether we can withstand the pressure of this Great Tribulation depends on whether we can endure it. I will continue thinking about suppressing the treasure of the sect. Remember not to move around recklessly.”
The disciples bowed and agreed.
The Grandmaster of Heaven waved his hand. “Eighth Disciple, stay behind and make arrangements for the Great Tribulation with me. This Great Tribulation is to stop the people of the Western Sect from going to the Heavenly Courts to be immortals. It’s not appropriate for us to not send anyone.”
At that moment, the immortals bowed and left. They were all troubled.
The Green Touring Palace was quickly enveloped by the Saint’s Dao runes. The Grandmaster of Heaven discussed with the eight disciples for a long time and decided to send a few disciples to the South Continent to “test the waters”.
Not long after, Wen Zhong and the Goddess of Fire Spirit were summoned back again. They were entrusted with important tasks by the Grandmaster of Heaven.
It was none other than…
The flying bear was in the midst of the Great Tribulation. The Chan School Immortal had taken in a disciple and sealed himself.
