My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 449
Chapter 449 Changshou’s Secret Love
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, when Li Changshou had just taken over the position in the Moon Palace.
“Changgeng made a bronze mirror and hung it there so that people can see what he is doing at any time?”
“That’s not all. The Water God even flared up at Heng’e’s maidservant because she did not appear. She was so frightened that she almost cried.”
“Hahaha! This Changgeng!”
The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He clapped and laughed. “Really… Ahem, I can always come up with something new! He actually thought of such an idea. Impressive, impressive.”
General Dongmu smiled from below the platform. “I can tell that the Water God is indeed a little concerned about this matter. Your Majesty, how should we react?”
The Jade Emperor pondered carefully for a while and asked in confusion, “Why do you have to react accordingly?”
General Dongmu blinked and asked softly, “Your Majesty, didn’t you ask the Water God to go to the Moon Palace to weaken the influence of Jie School on the Water God?”
The Jade Emperor was clearly stunned. However, he nodded slowly and sighed.
“I really can’t hide my worries from you, General Dongmu.”
General Dongmu heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally guessed the Jade Emperor’s intentions this time.
The Jade Emperor rubbed his chin and pondered for a while. Soon, he said, “The Great Tribulation is imminent. In a hundred years, the three sects will discuss the matter of becoming a god. It’s indeed not appropriate for you to have too much interaction with Jie School, Minister Changgeng. Otherwise, if you interfere too much in the Great Tribulation, you will suffer a backlash. In that case, how do you think we should break Changgeng’s move?”
General Dongmu thought for a while and quickly shook his head. “I’m slow-witted and can’t think of any brilliant ideas.”
The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and sat there to think carefully. Soon, he shook his head and smiled.
“It’s fine. Let Changgeng decide on his own. He can do whatever he feels comfortable with. Anyway, it’s only been ten years.”
General Dongmu wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he still lowered his head and agreed. He did not dare to say anything. The Jade Emperor’s tone changed and his expression became a little solemn. “How’s the investigation of the origins of Fu Yuan?”
General Dongmu’s expression became extremely serious. He began to report the results of his investigation in detail. The Lingxiao Treasure Hall was enveloped by golden light and stopped all other investigations.
Let’s not talk about the Jade Emperor and General Dongmu secretly investigating the traitors of the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou began his leisurely teaching career in the Moon Palace.
It was originally the place where the beauties of the Heavenly Courts gathered. However, he was a little unromantic and began…
Beside the “bronze mirror live stream”, there were three small barbecues every day.
The beautiful Chang’e was still a little reserved at first. After half a day, under the arrangements of the female immortal officials, they began to take turns to dance and let the head instructor see their abilities.
In the hall, the music was beautiful and wonderful.
Li Changshou ate the delicious fruits that Ao Yi kept sending over and calmly enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Although it was just a paper effigy and his five senses were a little blurry, Li Changshou felt quite comfortable.
At that moment, the knowledge of Ao Yi, the Second Prince of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, was extremely powerful!
In the Heavenly Courts, there were only a few people who could face such a beautiful scenery without attracting attention. However, Ao Yi was definitely one of them.
He had seen many things.
The songs and dances of the Heavenly Courts were still considered ‘elegant’. If one were to say that they knew how to play, it would be the ancient dragon race.
However, after a few days, Bian Zhuang could not hold it in.
Logically speaking, Bian Zhuang had lived in an environment that was more extravagant than Ao Yi’s since he was young. The World Edge Pavilion was the head of the temporary Love Tribulation Association outside the five continents of the Primordial World. Bian Zhuang, the young master, had never seen such a situation since he was young.
However, to Bian Zhuang, the fairies of the Heavenly Courts seemed to be inexplicably attractive.
The first time he came to the Moon Palace, Bian Zhuang had come to report that the Heavenly River Navy’s armor was insufficient. Li Changshou tolerated it for the time being.
However, after half a day, Bian Zhuang came over again and reported that there were Heavenly Soldiers fighting in the Heavenly River Navy…
Two hours later, Bian Zhuang came to report that someone in the Heavenly River Navy had suffered a heat stroke from excessive training…
Li Changshou sealed Bian Zhuang’s immortal power on the spot and called Ao Yi over. He tied Bian Zhuang up and sent him to the Heavenly River to soak until he woke up.
This Second Senior Brother is really heartless.
Ever since he had released his nature, he had been too unrestrained. In the future, he would definitely fall because of this!
At the thought of Bian Zhuang, Li Changshou thought of the Journey to the West and the Golden Cicada that he had sent back to be rebuilt.
Now, he had to focus all his attention on dealing with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. There was no need to be anxious about going west.
From the results of the two calamities, the Western Sect would only prosper. However, the God Conferment would decide who the mastermind of the Western Sect would be.
Li Changshou could not return empty-handed after coming to the Moon Palace. Moreover, he had to produce some results as an instructor.
He planned to introduce a new way to perform for the Chang’e half a year before he left.
There was no soft pounce.
He might even have to harm the little jade rabbit and let her learn how to roar.
He wanted to participate in the Great Tribulation in advance.
Ahem, let’s talk about serious matters.
Li Changshou could deal with the errands, but the God roll was about to be signed. He could not really waste his time in the Moon Palace and play with a group of Chang’e.
An incarnation naturally could not bind his mind.
Li Changshou was not just trying to set an example for the male immortals and give them some benefits so that he could improve his reputation.
There were a few layers of considerations that others did not know about.
Li Changshou wanted to use this opportunity to attack the Western Sect!
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles.
Li Changshou felt that his understanding of the Western Sect had always been superficial. He only knew that the Western Sect had two Saints and many disciples of the Western Sect. They controlled a large number of Primordial Beasts and ancient demons.
Other than that, he knew very little.
In ancient times, the Western Sect had stood outside the Dao Sect. The Saints had relied on their grand aspirations to obtain endless merit. Since ancient times, the Western Sect had an urgent desire to become stronger.
How many experts had they sent away over the years? How many factions had they developed outside the five continents?
It was probably hard to count.
Although it was a little disrespectful to describe the Saint’s sect with the words’ hiding evil and accepting evil ‘, the Western Sect was indeed very Western in this aspect. There were many disciples who had yet to appear. The person whom he had fought was mainly Ksitigarbha. The Golden Cicada could barely be considered half a disciple of the Saint.
Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener had once caused him a lot of trouble. Although Bai Ze had suppressed Truth Listener, he could not underestimate them.
Apart from that, the Void Bodhi had also tried to bewitch the demons twice. He wanted to use the demons to weaken the Heavenly Courts and delay the time for the Heavenly Courts to rise. His intentions were extremely obvious and his thoughts were very clear. Both times, he did not reveal himself and allowed the Western Sect to retreat.
It had to be said that the Void Bodhi would be a troublesome enemy.
From the moment the land was crushed until today, the reason why the world seemed calm was because of the arrival of the great calamity. The Heavenly Courts had become the leader of the great calamity. No matter how one considered the word ‘God Conferment’, it would revolve around the Heavenly Courts. The Western Sect could only restrict its disciples and wait for the specific sequence of the great calamity to appear. It was not just the Western Sect. Jie School and Chan School did not dare to make any rash moves.
However, Li Changshou could clearly sense an undercurrent flowing at the bottom of the Heavenly Courts and surging in the Primordial World.
Li Changshou was not in a hurry to get rid of the traitors in the Heavenly Courts. They could also be his pawns and become an important part of the backup plan…
Schemes were not simple tricks. He had to learn how to use them.
Taking advantage of that moment, Li Changshou swaggered through the Moon Palace and lived a carefree life. He even “broadcast” his whereabouts to let the Heavenly Courts know. There were also some rumors in the Primordial World. For example, the Water God was afraid of his wife and the Water God was afraid of Fairy Yun Xiao.
Seriously!
How could he be afraid if he was an immortal?
He just had a little respect for her!
However, in the dark, Li Changshou’s paper effigy went out from the east and south ends of the world. It transformed into a young woman and an old woman and gradually disappeared.
Li Changshou did not dare to talk about the Saint. However, regardless of whether it was the Saint or most of the experts in the Primordial World, they subconsciously treated the trichiliocosm as vassals of the five continents. They had a contempt for the Three Thousand Worlds.
However, how could Li Changshou ignore that?
When the Western Sect dealt with the dragon race, they had already used the “power” from the trichiliocosm a few times.
Li Changshou was going to investigate the external forces of the Western Sect this time.
To be safe, Li Changshou’s paper effigies had undergone six layers of disguise. If they were exposed or appeared within 500 kilometers of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, they would self-destruct.
However, it would be fine if he did not investigate. After investigating it personally, many of Li Changshou’s knowledge changed. On careful thought, he had previously been affected by the Qi Refinement cultivators’ “inertial thinking”. He felt that even though many factions had risen in the Trichiliocosm in the past ten thousand years, their influence on the five continents had been limited. After all, they were still “accessories” for the five continents.
Actually, that was not the case.
Li Changshou had only been investigating outside for two years. His importance to the Trichiliocosm had increased.
The most direct reason was that there were too many humans and human Qi Refinement cultivators in the Trichiliocosm.
There had never been a lack of people with outstanding potential in this world. The Trichiliocosm had also nurtured a large number of experts, and they had long been divided into various factions.
Some large factions could occupy an entire Chiliocosm and radiate to the nearby Chiliocosm and Minor Chiliocosm. They could be considered huge. The Western Sect had many large factions of such scale!
In the past two years, Li Changshou had relied on his escape technique to investigate hundreds of worlds.
More than thirty of them had already been “united”. Half of them had the shadows of the Western Sect!
More than half of the other sixty-plus Sectors had long hands that the Western Sect had extended!
The foundation of the Western Sect had never been used.
“It’s indeed a little scary.”
Actually, it was not just to deal with the Western Sect. If Li Changshou wanted to change the Heaven Earth Law and perfect the Art of Equalization, he had to fundamentally adjust his attitude towards the Trichiliocosm.
The five continents were the holy land in the hearts of the Qi Refinement cultivators. The mortal world of the South Continent was where the destiny of the human race gathered. It was the most important place.
However, the trichiliocosm contained huge potential. It was definitely not just a simple “source of soldiers”.
Li Changshou had already discovered that the Western Sect was creating a huge “Burning Incense Sect” in some of the Sectors. Large batches of mortals provided them with the power of incense. Although it was not as effective as the mortal world of the South Continent, it was still a considerable amount of merit.
That made Li Changshou think of a certain existence after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
In the Buddhist Kingdom.
Indeed, the Western Sect’s goal was not just to repay the Heaven Dao merit and ‘loan’. The two Saints seemed to be unwilling to be suppressed by the Saint of the Dao Sect.
“What can I do?”
In a dark corner, Li Changshou muttered to himself. He kept thinking and burning the two paper effigies that he had sent out.
Since the Heavenly Courts could not spare the time to attack everywhere… Then why not secretly create some factions and borrow the resources and luck of the Heavenly Courts to let this faction develop and grow in the three thousand worlds?
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up and he wrote down that thought. The paper effigy wrote quickly in the secret chamber.
As soon as he thought about it, Li Changshou had more ideas.
Previously, he had thought of the Heavenly Courts’ secret forces. However, that was just an idea to settle Daoist Wen Jing in the future and force her out. He did not take it too seriously.
What was extra?
Bai Ze.
Bai Ze’s schemes and intelligence were enough to support a large faction!
With a few more experts, it would not be difficult for him to use the paper effigy to follow them at any time.
And Grandmaster Jiang Lin’er… The tough-as-iron Grandmaster, who had been in the Trichiliocosm, could be of some help when his faction had just started!
He did not need to spend too much effort on this faction. Bai Ze could completely be his shadow!
He only needed the Jade Emperor to secretly give him a decree. While the heavenly secrets were in chaos and others could not deduce, the dragon race and the Netherworld would secretly work together. They would definitely become a wildfire that would set the entire world on fire!
Suppressing the Western Sect, the rise of the Heavenly Courts, protecting the Dao Sect, and balancing the Heavenly Dao! Li Changshou picked up his brush and wrote three words on the paper in front of him. The Heaven-Reaching Hall!
Huh?
Li Changshou frowned and closed his eyes to take a deep breath. His body flickered with blue light.
He activated the advanced version of Clear Dao heart and carefully sensed his situation.
There was no interference from luck. This thought was actually accumulated by him over many years. When should I start?
Li Changshou maintained his clear mind and pondered carefully. He took out another piece of paper and wrote down a row of strange “random codes”.
A dog was referring to the Heavenly Hound, who was also Yang Jian.
A small dress referred to Youqin Xuanya’s plan to enter the Heavenly Courts and become a super Heavenly Soldier.
The word ‘illness’ was about the 108 Demonic Armaments and the Netherworld.
A rock was secretly referring to the Goddess of Stone Rock. She was the person he was going to visit later…
A dining table represented the gathering of the disciples of the two sects…
A cave was referring to the Fire Cloud Cave.
A cloud referred to visiting the Primordial Immortal of the Five Village Temple and trying to see if he could fight for such a neutral mighty figure…
After that, there were seven to eight other things. Then, Li Changshou drew a simple wooden hut and represented the establishment of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
“There’s really quite a lot of work.”
Li Changshou chuckled. His thoughts were clear and he immediately felt enlightened. He immediately closed his eyes and focused, but his mind swayed slightly.
The paper effigy in the Moon Palace captured that Long Ji was bringing her aunt, Hua Yun, towards the Moon Palace.
At that moment, Hua Yun had also changed her name. She was called Fairy Yun Hua. In less than two years, her cultivation level had already reached the Perfected Immortal realm.
Her cultivation level was not cultivated but directly bestowed by the Queen Mother. Later on, she would be promoted to the Heaven Immortal realm. The disadvantage was that she did not know how to fight at all. Her advantage was that she had a pure immortal spirit body.
Although this method could not directly advance to the Golden Immortal realm, the Heavenly Courts had the Immortal Peach Spirit Root. It could naturally allow Fairy Yun Hua to have a long lifespan.
Cultivating to cheat was just an epiphany every few days.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother are the standard “cheat”!
Li Changshou waited for a while. Long Ji flew over from the side of the hall with Fairy Yun Hua. She did not disturb the Chang’e who was practicing her dance and arrived in front of Li Changshou’s seat.
Li Changshou adjusted the position of the bronze mirror and temporarily closed the “voice transmission” function of the bronze mirror, allowing the bronze mirror in front of the Water God Residence to only show his face.
“Teacher,” Long Ji called softly.
“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He stood up and bowed to the two “princesses” of the Heavenly Courts. He summoned two meditation cushions and gestured for them to take a seat.
“Why are you here?”
Long Ji took the initiative to send a voice transmission. “Teacher, Aunt has something to ask of you… Teacher is Father’s most trusted person. Can you ask Teacher to plead for mercy and let Aunt descend to the mortal world?”
Fairy Yun Hua’s eyes were filled with apology. She said softly, “Thank you for your trouble.”
“Descend to the mortal world?”
Li Changshou frowned and sent a voice transmission. “Why did you suddenly descend to the mortal world?”
Yun Hua sighed softly and handed a letter to Li Changshou. Li Changshou opened it and took a look. It was a letter from Fairy Yun Hua to Yang Tianyou…
The letter was filled with longing and pain.
Li Changshou took a few glances and sent the letter back.
“Fairy Yun Hua, the day you decide to ascend to the heavens is the day that you are no longer related to the mortal world. I know that you are deeply in love, but I can only remind Fairy Yun Hua… to tell the truth to His Majesty. Only with His Majesty’s permission can your marriage come to an end. His Majesty also has memories of the mortal world’s tribulation. He has long known about this matter. If you are honest with His Majesty, His Majesty might be able to reunite Yang Tianyou with the Heavenly Courts.”
That was indeed the perfect version of Yang Jian, the Erlang God. Li Changshou was even confident that he could convince the Jade Emperor. Unfortunately, he could not interfere forcefully.
“Well….!
Fairy Yun Hua frowned slightly and muttered softly, “I’m still a little afraid.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “If you’re afraid, why don’t you forget?” “If I can forget, sigh…” “Long Ji,” Li Changshou said seriously, “It’s not appropriate for you to participate in this matter. Don’t think that you can hide from others just because you’re a little smart.
In the Heavenly Courts, tongues will wag and rumors will spread too.”
After saying that, Li Changshou waved his hand gently. Fairy Yun Hua’s eyes turned red. She bowed and turned around to leave on a cloud.
Long Ji, who was at the side, wanted to say something but hesitated. However, Li Changshou’s gaze was extremely stern, causing Long Ji to be stunned. She lowered her head and agreed.
A few days later.
In the Immortal Palace where Fairy Yun Hua was staying, a black figure quietly appeared. He pointed at the sleeping Fairy Yun Hua’s forehead and gently disturbed her dream. Then, he quietly left.
When the black shadow disappeared, two figures slowly appeared in the corner of the Immortal Palace.
The person on the left had the face of an ordinary young Daoist. He was naturally Li Changshou’s paper effigy.
The young general on the right, who was dressed in armor and had an angry expression, was the Jade Emperor’s new incarnation, Qin Tianzhu.
Li Changshou had given him the name.
The two of them were wrapped in an immortal power barrier. With Fairy Yun Hua’s cultivation level, she naturally could not detect their whereabouts.
Qin Tianzhu cursed softly, “This Fu Yuan really deserves to die!”
Li Changshou said, “Your Majesty, look around His Highness Yun Hua.”
Qin Tianzhu’s eyes shone with golden light. He looked behind Fairy Yun Hua and saw a faint gray aura lingering around her.
“Tribulation luck…”
“When Fairy Yun Hua went to look for the little god a few days ago, she was already in trouble. We should not act rashly.”
Qin Tianzhu took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Changgeng, keep a close eye on this matter. If Hua Yun really faces the calamity, I want Fu Yuan to die a horrible death!”
Li Changshou asked, “What if Her Highness Yun Hua wants to descend to the mortal world?”
“She was driven by the luck of the calamity. I can’t do anything that goes against the will of the Heavenly Dao… Ah, let her be.”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation sighed and gritted his teeth.
“That bastard Yang Tianyou! Arrange for him to suffer more. I have to make him suffer! Is it easy for me to have a sister?!”
