My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 359
Chapter 359 Changshou Is a Demon, Le’er Will Help!
Since there was only an 80% chance of ‘seizing the sword and detonating it’, why couldn’t he change his train of thought and add 100 million points of calculation to ensure that he could obtain the Magi Soul Sword and cause more damage to the demons?
In that case, even if more than half of the negative karma demons managed to escape, the overall gains might be greater. Although he had devised plenty of schemes, it was ultimately for merit… However, if he had the confidence to take care of his personal needs, interests, and longevity, why not? Hence, the two incarnations belonging to Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor quietly retreated to an inconspicuous corner of the underground array formation.
Li Changshou thought for an hour and devised schemes for another hour. In less than two hours, he drew up a complete plan and began a comprehensive discussion with the Jade Emperor.
In the end, there were less than 0.1% changes to the overall plan… However, he had to give the Jade Emperor, who had been watching by the side, a sense of participation! Due to the time constraint, Li Changshou did not have time to formulate many backup plans. Therefore, he used the current plan as the main idea and left a few backup plans for the segments that could easily change.
Even if there were any changes, he had to develop the storyline and bring it back to the original main storyline! The overall idea of plotting against the demons was actually very simple. It was just a simple idea of “surrounding and attacking the reinforcements”.
To be precise, he had to pretend to surround the place and ensure that the negative karma demons could not leave with the sword. That would alarm the demons who knew about the matter and send reinforcements. Then, he would take away the Magi Soul Sword and complete a huge spirit explosion with the smallest loss!
Any demon who knew about the refinement of the Magi Soul Sword would not be considered innocent.
This matter sounded simple, but it was extremely complicated. How could he stabilize the demons and make them come to the conclusion that they were “protecting this place” and not “escaping with their swords”? How could he make the demons not suspect anything during the first half of the plan and let their reinforcements enter the area within a radius of 50 kilometers?
The most difficult part of this process was how to make the Heavenly Courts gain the upper hand, convince the masses, and show their might while Li Changshou remains free of any karma…
That would require some plots and schemes.
To be safe, Li Changshou still reported his only worry to the Jade Emperor… “Your Majesty, if we can injure the essence energy of the demons this time, there is a small possibility that we will attract a Saint to mediate the fight. Then, even all our efforts do not get wasted, we will still be in trouble.”
“Changgeng, don’t worry.” The Jade Emperor’s incarnation said seriously, “According to the arrangements here, the demons can be convicted of failing to accept the heavenly mandate. Putting everything else aside, just the evil sword alone could condemn the demons! If the Saint behind the demons is blindly protecting them, I will have to go to the Purple Cloud Palace to explain the cause and effect and ask the Dao Ancestor to uphold justice!” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you’re tough.” “It’s destiny.” Since the scapegoat had been found… ahem! Since the Jade Emperor was already prepared to face Saint Nuwa, Li Changshou did not have many worries. He immediately began to make preparations. The preparation work was mainly divided into three parts. Firstly, he could mobilize a sufficient number of paper effigies to come here and equip them with enough immortal beans. Secondly, the Heavenly Courts would prepare 300,000 troops. The Jade Emperor would also have to attack from behind and borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao at any time. Thirdly, they needed to find a Demon King who was not very smart but was rather powerful and had some influence…
The third point is especially important. Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor each had an incarnation hiding in the underground array. They hid quietly and were prepared to attack at any time. After settling the two incarnations, the ordinary Heavenly Emperor and ordinary officials began to get busy. In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor summoned General Dongmu and ordered him to immediately organize the troops. In three days, 300,000 troops of the Heavenly Courts would gather and await orders at the Middle Heavenly Gate, the Western Heavenly Gate, and the South Heavenly Gate.
There was no need to ask about the specific orders. He could just announce it to the public. Outside the underground array, Li Changshou’s paper effigies carefully moved around and occupied a few vital spots…
There were not many places in the world that could allow him to earn great merit. Li Changshou had long planned to kill the demons. Previously, he had been thinking that after the Heavenly Courts recruited a million soldiers, he would start to use the demons to train their troops. He would mix the paper effigies with them and obtain some merit from the negative karma demons.
However, this time, with the matter of the Magi as a guide, Li Changshou was determined to do something big. He wanted to obtain a huge amount of merit from the demons’ negative karma and help the Golden Body of Merit succeed as soon as possible!
Although he had only been given a short time to prepare, he could still plan as thoroughly as possible… In a certain forest above the underground array, Li Changshou’s paper effigy looked at the little demon that had been knocked unconscious.
He originally wanted to ask for some information, but he smiled faintly.
He first sealed the little demon’s soul. Then, he took off the cloak on the little demon’s body and draped it over himself.
Li Changshou transformed and used the transformation technique to transform into the figure and appearance of the little demon. Then, he pulled out the little demon’s soul and wrapped it with the True Samadhi Flames.
After a while, the demonic soul woke up and shivered in the fire.
Li Changshou said coldly, “Answer every question I ask. If you don’t answer them, your soul will scatter. If you can answer all of them, I can let your soul reincarnate since you don’t have too much negative karma.”
The demon soul of the little demon almost cried.
Li Changshou deliberately waited for a while. When the little demon’s soul calmed down, he asked, “Where is this place? How many demon kings are there?”
“This place is called the Demon Ascension Mountain. There are six Great Kings…” Li Changshou nodded and asked, “Is there anything unusual here?” The little demon’s demonic soul shouted with a trembling voice, “Nothing unusual! “Lord… I’m just a little demon who has cultivated for thousands of years. I don’t have much ability. I’m usually in charge of patrolling the mountain to see if any human cultivators have barged in.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. The True Samadhi Flames shrank slightly, and the demonic soul immediately squeaked. “Spare me! Lord, spare me! I’ve seen it a few times. A few seniors crawled out of the ground and went to the South Continent to eat humans! When I reported this to my King, he told me to shut up. Otherwise, he will destroy my entire family!” “Hmph!” Li Changshou retracted his True Flames and looked at the dispirited demonic soul. He said calmly, “Are there any rumors regarding the Demon Ascension Mountain?”
“Rumors… rumors… there are rumors!” The little demon’s soul trembled. Under the threat of having his soul getting scattered, he could not care too much.
“I’ve heard from the older generals that this is a crucial place for the revival of the saints. The few Great Kings here are all chosen talents. Their futures are limitless…”
“Tell me in detail what you know about the six demon kings here. Tell me about your Great King first.”
“Yes, yes… My King is wise and mighty. He can fight well and is said to have an indestructible golden body!”
“Huh?”
“No, no, no. The old demon on the mountain is a rhinoceros demon with a wretched appearance. He has thick skin and is the toughest. He is also lustful and lecherous. He has three Cave Abodes on the mountain. He had snatched all six of his wives by force. He even brags to us every day that he is extremely charming and that these demonesses are throwing themselves at him!” “Continue. The more detailed, the better.”
Thus, an hour later…
Bang!
Bang!
A small demon wearing light armor and a cloak emerged from the forest. A wisp of ashes floated behind him and returned to the ground. He swayed three times in two steps. He swayed his head, waist, and the wooden mallet in his hand. He knocked the clapper in his hand a few more times and shouted with a teasing tone, “Great King is wise. He asked me to patrol the mountain! I ensure that there is peace everywhere and the humans do not dare to offend us!” This attracted the attention of the lesser demons and demonic beasts in the mountains.
There was no choice. That was the slogan of the demons patrolling the mountain. Li Changshou could not change it. At that moment, the patrolling demon was naturally Li Changshou’s paper effigy in disguise. The body of the originally patrolling demon had already been burned. His demonic soul was imprisoned in a pearl by Li Changshou. After that, he would fulfill his promise and let him reincarnate. Now that he had the pearl with him, he could ask the little demon for some information at any time, lest he exposed himself later…
Just like that, Li Changshou knocked on the clapper and wandered around the mountain for half a round before returning to his residence. He turned into a gust of demonic wind and flew back to the mountainside at the third peak of the Demon Ascension Mountain.
There was a valley there that contained a Cave Abode in the deepest part. There were long intersecting caves that extended in all directions. Thousands of demons were gathered there. That was the Demon King Rhinoceros’ Cave!
Without any surprise or danger, Li Changshou, who had transformed into a mountain patrol demon, easily sneaked into the cave and frantically tried to obtain information. He even successfully met the demon king there and assessed the strength of the rhinoceros…
He was at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm and was a weakling with mottled demonic powers. Clearly, the rhinoceros demon was in charge of guarding the underground array. It did not matter if he was weak. What was important was his status as the Demon King and the special position of the Demon Ascension Mountain. To be safe, Li Changshou checked the Demon King’s Cave a few more times. After confirming that there were no experts lying in ambush, he activated the official plan.
The first scene of ‘Plotting Against The Demons’: A Fairy Descends into the World!
“Ao Yi, do you want merit?”
Ao Yi, who was floating quietly on the cloud with eight Magi behind him, could not help but be stunned when he heard his Brother Sect Master’s voice transmission.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “There’s something that I need help with this time. The risk is not high, and the benefits of merit should not be small. It’s easy for me to expose myself by using the paper effigy.” Ao Yi immediately nodded, his eyes filled with determination. Soon, Ao Yi followed Li Changshou’s instructions and flew to the Middle Continent to settle the eight Magi including Ox-head and Horse-face. He left the paper effigy that he carried with him to Ox-head and Horse-face for future “communication”. The eight experts of the Magi race were also a precious force. Li Changshou would not waste them. Ao Yi immediately rushed to the place where he had agreed to meet Li Changshou. In a dense forest, he saw the paper effigy that Li Changshou had transformed into a young Daoist.
And…
A barrier and a dressing table…
“Brother! What do you need me for?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Come, pretend to be Miss Ke Le’er first. This matter is quite complicated. I’ll tell you step by step.” “Uh…”
Ao Yi blinked and looked at his Brother Sect Master. He could only walk forward quickly.
He would naturally do whatever the Sect Master said. It was fine even if he wanted his dragon soul.
Li Changshou said, “Regarding this matter, it’s easy to see through the illusions and transformation techniques. It’s best to do your makeup straightaway.”
“Brother, are you going to mess with Bian Zhuang?” Ao Yi asked as he sat in front of the dressing mirror obediently. He recalled some of the tricks that his wife had used when she was putting on makeup and began to do it.
“Why are you messing with Bian Zhuang?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Here’s the thing. I need you to put on a show later and pretend to be injured. You will be saved by a Demon King and then let the Demon King declare war on the Heavenly Courts.”
Ao Yi’s hand trembled, and his eyebrows twitched. “Can… this be done? It sounds like the demon king has lost his mind.”
“It’s up to the person to do it.” Li Changshou smiled calmly. “Love between a man and a woman can easily make living beings lose their minds. Let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we will have a backup plan.” “Yes!”
Ao Yi nodded gently and quickly began to draw his eyebrows and blush. Li Changshou was slightly surprised as he watched from the side. “Why are you so proficient?”
“Well…” Ao Yi smiled in embarrassment.” I often help Si’er with these…”
“You and Si’er are quite loving.” Li Changshou calmly changed the topic and asked with a smile, “When are you planning to have an heir? As your child’s uncle, I’m always ready to give you congratulatory gifts.” Ao Yi said in a low voice, “It’s still early… The dragon race has been suffering recently. It’s more important to survive together.” “It’s good to celebrate.” Li Changshou took out a few Daoist robes from his sleeve and began to think about how to change them into a little immortal dress. Ao Yi took a few glances and muttered softly, “Si’er has a wardrobe with me. Brother, don’t be anxious. I’ll change into it later.” Li Changshou could not help but take two steps back. This little dragon’s hobby is quite unique.
Let’s talk about serious matters.
Ao Yi dressed up. Ke Le’er, whom he had not seen for a long time, appeared again. She was dressed in an immortal dress, a pair of cloud boots, and her long hair was tied up into a ponytail. Her Adam’s apple was hidden…
Most importantly, Li Changshou took out two sachets. He let Ke Le’er hang one on his waist while he kept the other for backup.
Fifth-grade Spirit Pill: Flame of Heart
After making those arrangements, Ke Le’er quietly flew into the sky. Li Changshou’s paper effigy transformed into a silver-armored Heavenly General and released sixteen paper effigies with the original mystical abilities, turning into sixteen Heavenly Soldiers.
At night, Li Changshou activated several bolts of lightning! Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky. A beautiful figure staggered and fell from the clouds. More than ten figures chased after her. Coincidentally, the figure landed on the Demon Ascension Mountain. More than ten Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals chased after her!
At the same time, he shouted to remind the demons, “The Heavenly Courts have captured the sinful immortals. All living beings are to avoid them!”
The demons within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were alarmed. Demonic senses swept over, and they were all shocked.
At that moment, in the Rhinoceros King’s Cave Abode, a demon patrolling the mountain shouted, “Reporting! King! Some Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals have chased a female immortal to the mountain! At this moment, they are fighting in the back mountain. They are only tens of kilometers away from us!”
“Got it. What’s the hurry?”
The burly man who was soaking in the pool stood up.
His appearance when he transformed was not ugly. It was just that the horns on his nose looked a little out of place.
The rhinoceros spirit jumped out of the pool, summoned its armor, and carried the iron ax. It used the “demonic wind” mystical ability that was more popular among the demons. It swept up more than ten Demon Generals and more than a hundred small demons and headed towards the back of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the rhinoceros demon saw the location of the “intense battle”.
There was a female immortal whose dress was stained with blood. There were wounds on her waist and shoulder. She held two short swords and fought with the Heavenly General…
However, after taking a glance at the female immortal, the Rhinoceros King’s eyes turned blurry. The fairy in his eyes was not in a sorry state at all. Her beautiful figure was wrapped in gentle light, and she was actually so beautiful that he… felt his heart race.
At that moment, the Rhinoceros King heard some panting sounds. He turned his head and saw that the demon generals and demon soldiers he had brought were all red-faced and panting heavily. “What are you looking at!?!” roared, “Turn around! I’ll kill you all!” The group of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals trembled and quickly turned around. The Rhinoceros King looked at the battle between the fairy and the Heavenly General. His eyes were gradually filled with tenderness. With a clang, the ox ax landed beside his feet. He interlocked his fingers and placed them beside the huge face plate, rubbing it gently. “Ah, I might have fallen in love at first sight again…”
Gradually, even his eyes turned into peach blossoms.
The Heavenly General shouted from the battlefield, “Don’t make me kill you! Follow me back to the Heavenly Courts to report!” “Big Brother!” The “female immortal Ke Le’er” shouted firmly, “I will decide my own marriage! I will never become a Dharma artifact for you to curry favor with those gods of authority!” Big Brother? Marriage? To curry favor with the gods of authority!
The Rhinoceros King’s eyes lit up as he instantly imagined a huge scene. The Heavenly General scolded again, “I’m doing this for your own good!” “If it’s for my own good, let me go free and let me find my own marriage!” As soon as the “female immortal” finished speaking, she was hit by the Heavenly General’s spear. Her graceful figure was sent flying and fell to the ground. She stood up stubbornly.
The Rhinoceros King subconsciously took half a step forward and raised his hand from afar. He wanted to catch the female immortal’s falling body, but he was far from it… “Your marriage?”
The Heavenly General’s expression was cold. He raised his hand and made a gesture. The ten or so Heavenly Soldiers stopped in their tracks. The Heavenly General said calmly, “That is your marriage.”
“No!”
The female immortal swayed as she stood up with her sword. She shouted, “My lover is tall and strong. He has the power to protect me!”
Oh?
The Rhinoceros King lowered his head and looked at himself. His toned chest muscles began to pulsate rhythmically.
“The person I love can soar through the clouds and ride the fog. He’s wearing armor, holding a sharp weapon, and wearing a red cloak. He can hold up the sky and the earth!” The Rhinoceros King silently pulled out a red cloak and put it on. He then grabbed the ax on the ground. “The person I love will eventually appear in front of me, even if he is a demon, a human, or an immortal…”
“Rascal!”
The Heavenly General shouted angrily, “I’ll fulfill your wish today! I’ll pretend that I never had a sister like you!” As soon as he finished speaking, he swept his spear horizontally and smashed it at the female immortal, Ke Le’er, without showing any mercy!
At that moment, a gust of wind blew from the side. An iron ax swept over and sent the spear flying! The Heavenly General took the opportunity to retreat. His eyes widened as the sixteen Heavenly Soldiers quickly flew over to protect his general. After the violent wind, a burly figure blocked the female immortal. He raised his head, puffed out his chest, and raised his ax. His red cloak was fluttering. He turned his head slightly and looked at the shocked fairy behind him. At some point in time, he had hidden the nose of the rhinoceros horn and spat out a wisp of white fog. “Fairy, don’t be afraid. I…”
“Fairy! I’m here to save you!”
Huh?
The Rhinoceros King frowned and looked in the direction of the shout. However, he saw a demonic wind flying past in the sky. The lion-headed king, who was on the mountain beside him, jumped down. The demon was covered in golden fur. Its strong muscles were slightly bulging, and it even emitted a faint floral fragrance… The lion-headed king actually hid his proudest lion head and transformed into a handsome golden-haired man. The red cloak on his back fluttered slightly as he waved his hand.
“General Rhinoceros, retreat. You are not a match for this Heavenly General.”
General!
Screw you!
They were all demons who had occupied the mountain and were advancing later. Why were they pretending to be powerful demons!?! Just as the Rhinoceros King was about to curse, a cold snort sounded from the side. A handsome burly man that was transformed from a wolf demon jumped out. He was also wearing a red cloak… “Marshal Lion, General Rhinoceros, retreat. None of you are a match for this Heavenly General!”
Then, two demonic winds blew over…
Ke Le’er was speechless. She secretly looked at Li Changshou’s paper effigy. A voice transmission entered Ke Le’er’s heart…
“It’s time to test your acting skills. If there’s one of them, bluff them, if there are five or six, get them drunk. My paper effigy will support you from the side. Don’t worry.
Ke Le’er was speechless.
The Heavenly General glared at the demons furiously and said coldly, “Are you demons going to be nosy?”
The lion-headed king smiled and said, “Big…”
“Brother-in-law, please!”
The Rhinoceros King took a huge step forward and shouted, “Fairy is tired today. Why don’t you let her rest for a few days before giving Brother-in-law an answer!? We’re all family. Don’t ruin the harmony!”
He said coldly, “Get lost!” The Heavenly General shouted angrily and was about to move forward with his spear.
However, the demon kings unleashed their auras simultaneously. There were two Golden Immortal realm demon kings there… “Alright! Just you wait!” Li Changshou, who was disguised as a Heavenly General, gritted his teeth and cursed. Then, he turned around and rode a cloud, rushing away with the sixteen Heavenly Soldiers.
The five burly demon kings turned around and looked at Ke Le’er.
“Fairy!”
At the same time, they stopped talking and looked at each other. The hostility in their eyes increased! Not long after, the five demon kings fought. Fortunately, Ke Le’er stopped them in time. According to Li Changshou’s reminder, Ke Le’er opened the restrictions on the treasure pouch and closed the Flame of Heart. Then, she stood up with her sword and went to the forest to recuperate… The five demon kings looked at each other and snorted coldly.
Then, they followed her. Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Alright, the first scene was completed smoothly. The second scene of the fairy complaining and being angry for a beauty had to be played out as soon as possible. Any delay would cause changes. As Li Changshou prepared for the next scene, he had to ensure Ao Yi’s safety. It was just a show. He could not let these demon kings take advantage of him! Apart from that, the deployment of troops was already underway. Li Changshou closed his eyes and adjusted them slightly. He redistributed the power of his mind and began to activate the ‘Carriage’ paper effigies. Deploy the paper effigies guarding the sect. Deploy the paper effigies on guard at Anshui City.
Deploy the paper effigies assisting the East Ocean.
Deploy the paper effigies in the South Ocean. Deploy the paper effigies at the West Ocean’s Sea Eye.
Deploy the paper effigies at the North Ocean… Although 60% of the paper effigies were rushing to the desolate corner of the Primordial World, Li Changshou still felt that it was not safe. A paper effigy of the Water God took the initiative to rush to the Tushita Palace.
An hour later… At the entrance of the Pill Chamber of the Immortal Du Sect, Little Qiong Peak,a small Taiji Painting slowly condensed and a small pagoda emerged from it. The small pagoda shone with ripples, as if it was summoning something. Ling’e, who was meditating on the meditation cushion by the door, could not help but open her eyes and look around in a daze… A large hand reached out from the side and held the little pagoda. Li Changshou’s voice entered Ling’e’s heart.
“Cultivate in peace. I have something to do.” “Oh,” Ling’e agreed. She blinked her eyes before closing them again, returning to the state of Dao enlightenment. Li Changshou looked at the small pagoda in his palm and listened to the Pagoda Master’s cheers in his heart. He could not help but smile. He sighed… Since when did my main body become my trump card?
Be steady. With the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda above your head, make a fire rescue team. The Heavenly Courts still lack a group of high-level fighters…
