My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 520
Chapter 520 Brother, Something’s Wrong With You
On the day that the immortals of Jie School of Golden Ao Island bled, Li Changshou only watched secretly and did not appear.
After all, at such a moment, he, a disciple of Ren School, could easily become the target of jealousy and hatred among the immortals of Jie School.
He swore an oath with the four eldest disciples of Jie School and the Goddess of Stone City in the Small World. He also asked Daoist Duobao to erase some of the Goddess of Stone City’s memories and did not give the torturers today a chance to speak. It was all to ensure that the word “Changgeng’would not appear in the inner sanctum of Jie School.
He was in the Primordial World. He could not overestimate the kindness of strangers to him.
At the same time, Li Changshou had something important to do in the dark!
Daoist Duobao waved his hand. The Goddess of Golden Spirit drew her sword and killed the hundred-odd immortals of Jie School. The ten-odd paper effigies that Li Changshou had set up outside the Heavenly Courts and Golden Ao Island released their immortal senses and circulated the Great Dao of Equalization. Their eyes widened like copper bells!
Hard work does not disappoint! When the Goddess of Golden Spirit’s sword beam landed, Changshou and the experts on Golden Ao Island sensed a strange power of the Heavenly Dao. The immortals of Jie School treated the power of the Heavenly Dao as if some of the Jie School immortals who had been punished today had actually been affected by the calamity and committed a huge mistake.
Even Daoist Duobao, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, and Zhao Gongming did not think much about it.
However, at the same time, Li Changshou, who was observing the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and the Five Great Heavenly Gates, keenly discovered that a few subtle Essence Soul disturbances had entered the golden pillar in front of the Lingxiao Hall that had descended with the Great Tribulation!
This…
Could it be that the Heavenly Dao has already decided on the God roll?
Or could it be that the Heavenly Dao felt that the immortals of Jie School had the potential to become gods and had taken them here in advance?
Li Changshou pondered for half a day and did not come to a clear conclusion.
If the name on the God roll had already been decided by the Heavenly Dao, where would the Saints be?
That is completely unreasonable. Just as Li Changshou made up his mind, he heard the sound of a bell on Golden Ao Island…
He sighed softly and hid the few paper effigies at the bottom of the sea. He had also placed a paper effigy in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City on the South Ocean. A few disciples of Jie School would definitely come to look for him later.
The others could not guarantee that Zhao Gongming would most likely complain.
In addition to killing one to warn the others and cleaning up the chronic illnesses, he also rejected the in-name disciples who used Spirit Stones to exchange for followers. At that moment, there was no need to observe. The luck of Jie School had improved. The six personal disciples of the Saint who were killed today were not actually core disciples. The more than 90 immortals of Jie School were mostly people with low cultivation levels and insatiable
greed.
The ferocious immortal of Jie School, Ma Yuan, who had fooled the Goddess of Stone, was someone with a stronger cultivation level. He had obtained many benefits from the matter of being an in-name disciple, but he was not directly punished. This immortal had a deep negative karma and was very capable. He was one of the top immortals on the “Tribulation Resistance Scroll”. Daoist Duobao probably wanted to use this ferocious blade to create more Tribulation Gray outside the sect when the Great Tribulation descended. Then, he would arrange for this ferocious immortal to deal with the Tribulation…
That was why Li Changshou was more willing to be close to Zhao Gongming and maintain a certain distance from Daoist Duobao. Duobao was the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School. He had many concerns and considerations that Zhao Gongming did not have. Zhao Gongming was much happier. He had a high cultivation level, powerful Dharma treasures, and remarkable abilities. He was a carefree breeze in the world. He smiled, swayed, and rippled. If he did not feel good, he would just sigh and vomit a few mouthfuls of blood. How happy was that?
However, Li Changshou… was not envious.
Li Changshou could imagine the conflicted and depressed look on Zhao Gongming’s face when he arrived at the Sea God Temple a few days later after the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting ended.
“Changgeng, about this matter…”
If Zhao Gongming did not say those words, he would be the Heavenly Courts’ Water God!
How could he scare a rabbit to tears by livestreaming in the bronze mirror!?!
Just kidding, just kidding.
Li Changshou scanned the various parts of the immortal sect with his immortal senses and sensed the Golden Immortal Dao runes circling the Immortal Downpour Peak. Elder Wan Linyun should be coming out of seclusion soon.
However, the older the immortals of the Primordial World were, the less sensitive they were to the passage of time. Elder Wan should still have ten to fifteen days before he would come out for a stroll…
Everything on the Little Qiong Peak was normal. Ling’e was cleaning her master’s straw hut. There were three incense sticks that had just been lit in front of her master’s memorial tablet.
Xiong Lingli and Jiu Yushi were busy in the spiritual beast enclosure.
Ever since Jiu Jiu and Jiang Lin’er, the elite members of the upper-class foodie group of the Little Qiong Peak, went out to manage the Heaven Ascension Hall with Bai Ze, Jiu Yushi’s cultivation speed had clearly increased.
It should be because there were fewer people disturbing him. Li Changshou looked at Li Jing, who was cultivating peacefully in the Immortal Du Sect. He retracted his attention and closed his eyes to meditate for half a day.
Although he had been busy with matters regarding Jie School recently, his main body had not gone out. Therefore, Li Changshou had long sent the Taiji Painting, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Floating Flame Flag back to the Grand Pure One Temple. He only kept the Pagoda Master by his side in case he had to go out for something. He would lack a basic sense of security. Half a day later, Ling’e flew over from the lake with a bowl of refreshing and delicious soup and called out to her senior brother. Li Changshou’s main body appeared from the Pill Chamber. He stretched and sat on the wooden bridge outside the Pill Chamber. Ling’e moved a meditation cushion and sat beside her senior brother. She swayed her feet back and forth and asked softly, “Senior Brother, is there any trouble recently? I haven’t been looking at the communication jade talismans regarding the Immortal Alliance that the paper effigy brought back recently.” “Yes.” Li Changshou pinched the soup ladle and took a sip of the ice powder that his junior sister had specially made. He smiled and said, “If I have to do everything personally, even a hundred of me won’t be enough. The Immortal Alliance is just more troublesome during the recruitment and establishment process. Now, there are already twelve deputy alliance leaders presiding over the situation. We only need to control it in a general direction. It doesn’t matter if he’s in cahoots or colluding with others. As long as it’s beneficial to the Heavenly Courts and doing good deeds to resist the invasion of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom, it’s enough.”
Ling’e lowered her eyebrows and thought for a while. Then, she asked, “Senior Brother, what have you been worried about recently?”
“About Jie School.”
Li Changshou placed the jade bowl beside him and simply said that there were immortals from Jie School who could accumulate wealth and obtain Spirit Stones. They could take in disciples and impart their Dao techniques. As a result, they would implicate the entire Jie School.
Ling’e frowned and said softly, “Why is there such an immortal in Jie School? He has already become a disciple of the Saint. Can’t he restrict himself? Is there anything he’s not satisfied with?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “All living beings have their own desires, so they have their own selfish desires. Their selfish desires are for fame, safety, wealth, and things that they care about. That’s not derogatory. It’s just an ordinary principle. If Chan School also has such a number of disciples, such a problem would probably occur. The Grand Pure One is far-sighted and knows the nature of living beings. Therefore, he did not take in too many disciples.” Ling’e blinked and asked angrily, “Teacher, are you listening?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
His junior sister’s mental awareness was far from enough! Does sucking up have to be done in front of the Saint? That requires everyone to have the same thoughts and respect him!
After all, no one knew if the Saint would be able to see through the Dao hearts of the Qi Refinement cultivators if he took the initiative to investigate… Steadily, steadily. “I used your cousin a little previously,” Li Changshou said. “The follow-up has been dealt with. A few days ago, I sent a letter and some pills.” “Hehe, my cousin’s personality is actually not bad. She just likes to show off.” Li Changshou smiled without saying anything. Ling’e thought for a while and suddenly stopped swaying. She asked in confusion, “Senior Brother, can I ask you a question?” “Just ask.” Li Changshou leaned back and placed his hands on the wooden bridge. He looked at the distant mountains and the clouds.
Ling’e said, “How can someone secretly do this? How can they hide it from the Saint? The Uncle-Master and Sect Master of Jie School should know about these matters. Why didn’t they interfere previously?” Li Changshou could not help but fall silent.
Ling’e asked softly, “Should I not have asked that…”
“Why should I ask?” Li Changshou slowly sighed. “Ling’e, think carefully. What is the essence of them collecting Spirit Stones and taking in in-name disciples? He was promiscuous. If it is in Chan School, according to the teachings of Chan School, the Dharma would not be taught easily and the Dao would not be taught lightly. It would just be expulsion from the sect. There is no restriction on the preaching of the Dao of Jie School. Now that the ten thousand immortals of Jie School have arrived, it is the achievement of Third Uncle-Master’s preaching. Actually, this matter is only worth reprimanding. At most, he would be expelled from Jie School. Today, he killed more than a hundred immortals. It is because the red lotus had failed to suppress Jie School’s teachings and had magnified their crimes many times. This time, Senior Brother Duobao had only found an excuse to shock them. He wants to make the entire Jie School unite and deal with the Great Tribulation. After all, what really crushed the camel was not the last straw. It was the original weight on the camel’s back.” Ling’e pinched her chin and muttered softly, “There are so many things going on here.” “Don’t always think that you’re smart.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “There are no experts in the three sects. The three Eldest Senior Brothers are experts who are far more scheming than me.” Ling’e said, “Senior Brother, you’re being too humble. Sister Yun Xiao admires your scheming ability.” “I’d rather be ten thousand times more humble than be arrogant.”
Li Changshou flipped his body and floated to the reclining chair beside the door. He said, “Remember to wash the dishes.” Then, he closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep. Ling’e grimaced and picked up the jade bowl and summoned the tray. She hummed a tune in the forest and rode a cloud away from the array formations.
He was really relaxed.
Li Changshou shifted his attention to the South Continent and decided to do a few “important things” before the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting of Jie School ended and Zhao Gongming came to talk to him.
Although it was a big matter, it was actually just a checkup of the situation. The paper effigy woke up in the territory of the Shang Tribe. He scanned with his immortal senses and realized that the flags of the Shang Tribe were already planted in various cities within 5,000 kilometers.
The speed of expansion was really impressive. Then, Li Changshou’s immortal senses were found. He had perfectly integrated into the mortal world and was experiencing the seven emotions reincarnations of mortals.
With Kong Xuan’s secret protection, the Seven Emotions reincarnations lived quite comfortably. In a large city, they lived like little tyrants who had endless joy.
The seven emotions were divided into seven personalities. They would go out at different times, causing the young girl to become a “freak” in the eyes of mortals. He was extremely energetic.
However, in this day and age, as long as the external appearance was good, his morals would follow his facial features.
The reincarnations of the Seven Emotions were born beautiful. There were naturally many people who proposed marriage and had ulterior motives. However, without exception, they were teased by the reincarnations of the Seven Emotions. Fortunately, they were just playing with each other. They maintained the gentleness of the Lady of Earth and did not really hurt mortals. Seeing that, Li Changshou temporarily gave up on the idea of bringing them to the Heavenly Courts.
It was ultimately beneficial for them to interact more with the human race.
It was precisely because mortals had short lifespans that their lives could produce more poetic and romantic feelings. The Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Humans’ cities were much less lively and boring. Kong Xuan was still in seclusion. Although Li Changshou was curious, he did not dare to disturb him. He sent a paper effigy to the South, East, and Middle Continents to investigate the situation of the demons. On this trip, Li Changshou specially went to Chentang Town.
After Ling’e’s training and killing a group of demons, Chentang Town had become much more peaceful than before. The human and demon factions were temporarily at peace. However, as the demons’ Yuan Qi gradually recovered, conflict would continue to erupt in the future.
The population of Chentang Town was rapidly increasing The land there was fertile. There was also a group of strong people guarding the place. Due to the pressure from the demons in the periphery and the presiding over the cultivators, the theft and bullying had almost disappeared. It attracted many wandering people to land there. Li Changshou did not disturb the peace of the place. He was like a passerby. He walked and looked around before the paper effigy left quietly. Speaking of using the paper effigy to monitor, there was a place that Li Changshou had never forgotten. It was naturally the black leopard.
Ever since the black leopard lost its wife, it had been cultivating obediently in the Cave Abode and steadily increasing its strength.
It was unknown if it was due to the influence of the Heavenly Dao or the great calamity, but the black leopard’s cultivation speed was much faster than before. Its thoughts were gradually becoming more extreme.
Li Changshou occasionally heard the black leopard mutter to itself. It gradually changed from “If others can do it, why can’t I?” to “It’s all unfairness of the Heavenly Dao. That’s why I can’t do it.” Regarding that, Li Changshou could not do anything. He did not dare to forcefully interfere with the black leopard’s growth path. He did not want to be consoled by a master who had owed him a debt. I’m not afraid. I’m just… Yes, I’m embarrassing myself! The real Lu Ya had already been killed by the black leopard. He did not have any urgent requests.
The next time Ling’e wanted to transcend the tribulation, she would come here to ask for a sign that she would definitely not succeed in transcending the tribulation. That would increase the chances of success.
Since he had nothing to do, he had to wait for Zhao Gongming to complain. Since he could not cultivate in peace, Li Changshou began to find something to do. I’ll go to the Netherworld and play chess with Ksitigarbha of the Reincarnation Pagoda to enjoy Truth Listener’s shoulder massage service.
He wanted to walk around the South Ocean and have a chat with the Demon soldiers who had chosen to follow him. He wanted to ask them what they wanted.
Then, he would go to the Dragon Palace and get some array formation treasures. At the same time, he would experience the boring life of the Dragon King.
Then, he accidentally discovered that Ao Yi, Bian Zhuang, and Ling Zhuzi had left the Netherworld. He did not know where they were going. The Demon Soldiers had recently fallen in love with the mortal world. They were experiencing hundreds of lives and doing various jobs in the mortal world. They even had plans to marry. The Dragon King of the East Ocean had been a little depressed recently. He was worried about the problem of the dragon race’s low fertility rate… After waiting for four to five days, the Ten Thousand Immortals Meeting of Jie School had ended. However, Zhao Gongming did not come to the Sea God Temple.
Li Changshou muttered in his heart, Could I have guessed wrong? That made no sense…
“Changgeng, Changgeng!” A familiar voice sounded in his heart. It came from outside the study of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence. Li Changshou hurriedly shifted his attention over and confirmed the paper effigy’s appearance in the mirror. He held his horsetail whisk and rushed out.
General Dongmu stood outside the door in high spirits. When he saw Li Changshou, he laughed. “Hahahaha! Congratulations, Changgeng! Congratulations!” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Where did the joy come from?” “The Grand White Palace has been repaired,” General Dongmu praised. “The immortal god who supervised the construction of the Grand White Palace yesterday has already reported his duties in the Hall of Enlightenment. Today, the Hall of Enlightenment has also sent someone to inspect it. If Changgeng is willing, I can move there today!” Li Changshou thought for a while and said, “Thank you for your trouble, General Dongmu. However, His Majesty’s decree has yet to be completed. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to enter early.”
“Hey.” General Dongmu persuaded warmly, “Which one of the Heavenly Courts doesn’t know? Which one doesn’t?”
“That’s not the case,” Li Changshou said seriously. “It’s better to be safe. When His Majesty gives the order and the Deity Position advances, it won’t be too late for me to move. Those are just superficial titles. The most important thing is to serve the Heavenly Courts and His Majesty.” General Dongmu bowed and smiled. “Then, according to Changgeng, I’ll go and urge the Hall of Enlightenment to stop the unnecessary decree.” “Thank you, General Dongmu!” “It’s a small matter, a small matter.”
Although the Heavenly Courts had condensed the decree much faster than before, there were also many more decrees that needed to be condensed. The amount of Heavenly Dao power needed to change the position of the Heavenly Courts and increase the rank of the Moon Lord was many times more than the other decrees. It naturally took longer. “Actually, I’ll just go with the flow.” Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk and invited General Dongmu in for tea.
However, General Dongmu remembered Li Changshou’s advice a long time ago. It was best for the two of them to maintain a distance. They could not be too familiar with each other, lest they affect the Jade Emperor’s prestige. Then, General Dongmu bade farewell and left. Li Changshou sent him out of the Water God Residence.
Before Li Changshou could turn around, the other paper effigy finally heard the familiar sigh.
“Ah…”
Master Zhao, you’re here at the Sea God Temple!
Uh, there’s nothing to be excited about.
After settling the paper effigy in the Water God Residence, Li Changshou shifted his attention to the Sea God Temple. He successfully met Zhao Gongming and ordered the Divine Envoys to serve tea.
Master Zhao looks troubled.
Li Changshou picked up his teacup and took a sip. He observed Zhao Gongming’s complicated, helpless, and slightly tired face and sighed in his heart. Next, it was the appearance of the words “Changgeng, this matter.” “Changgeng,” Zhao Gongming called softly. He frowned and his beard trembled. It’s coming, it’s coming! Li Changshou sipped his tea again and prepared to give a long speech later. Zhao Gongming heaved a sigh of relief but quickly calmed down. He asked in a low voice, “If the Yin and Yang merge and we have a physical relationship, will we… have children like mortals?” Li Changshou was stunned. He quickly swallowed the tea in his mouth and was confused. Something is not right. Master Zhao is not right today!
