My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 532

Chapter 532 Changgeng’s crew is online…
Lingli was much stronger than Ling Zhuzi and Ao Yi now.

The essence blood of the Magi, the bloodline of the Magi, and the accumulation of the pills that he had been feeding Xiong Lingli, were activated by a battle expert who could flatten Golden Immortals with his physical body.

A true expert born from eating.

The difficult thing now was to let Xiong Lingli learn to control the size of her body. If she wanted to reach the stage where she could carry mountains and leap across the North Ocean, she would have to perform the Flying Swallow Dance in her palm. That would be Xiong Lingli’s graduation.

Then, he would give her a pair of fancy axes and a pair of huge bronze hammers. He would create a Heavenly Courts Deity Position. He would definitely be good at guarding the door!

East of the East Ocean, at the ends of the world.

Li Changshou floated to a white cloud outside the East Sky. As he thought about that, he smiled calmly. Of course, what was moving was a paper effigy that had transformed into an old woman’s figure. Its main body was hidden in the snake-headed staff in the old woman’s hand.

It had been a few years since the Purple Cloud Palace had discussed the matter of becoming a god. If he cultivated and became distracted, his teacher might just throw the word “come” at

him.

There were priorities.

Although the cultivation process of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was very smooth and efficient, with continuous enlightenment every day, and his body constantly becoming stronger, it also gave him a sense of security.

However, at that moment, Li Changshou had to make some preparations for the matters of Purple Cloud Palace. At the same time, he had to make some small arrangements with the two Perfected Ones of Chan School.

He left the East Ocean and headed towards the Chiliocosm that he had chosen.

For this operation, he had planned it for twelve years during his cultivation.

At that moment, when he went out, he naturally invited the Floating Flame Flag over and left it beside Ling’e to protect her. The Pagoda Master and the Cosmic Ruler accompanied him. He was 98% confident in protecting himself under ordinary circumstances.

In the blink of an eye, he had crossed 300 worlds.

Li Changshou entered a Major Chiliocosm and found a desolate mountain. He burrowed underground. His immortal senses swept across the various places. He could see that the Chiliocosm was very peaceful. There were villages and towns everywhere that were suitable for mortals to live in. Mortals were farming, hunting, and fishing. Their lives were healthy and rich.

There were statues of gods everywhere in the towns and villages. They were either gilded and inlaid with jade, looking dignified, or made of clay. Their faces were simple, but they could produce endless merit from incense offerings.

An immortal palace was hidden in the sky. The merit from incense offerings gathered inside.

That’s right. This is the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom of the Western Sect.

After being targeted by Li Changshou repeatedly and being attacked by the Western Sect for treating the human race as livestock of merit, the Western Sect naturally made adjustments. They slowed down the harvest of incense merit and turned the various Major Chiliocosms under their control into paradise.

Li Changshou felt gratified.

Although it could not be said to be a contribution, it had indeed improved the living environment of countless mortals, causing the Western Sect to not dare to openly exploit the mortals in the trichiliocosm.

Unfortunately, this situation would not last long. Firstly, the Western Sect had made such arrangements. They also had the intention to not reveal the truth before the Violet Firmament Palace discussed the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. They did not want to cause any negative effects and prevent the Dao Sect from causing trouble.

Secondly, there were both good and bad people in the Western Sect. In order to unite the various factions in the trichiliocosm, they had taken various shady methods and made many promises.

At that moment, the mortals in the immortal palace were still toys for immortals.

The countless mortals there were still livestock that the Western Sect used to restrain their incense offerings. However, they were dressed up more beautifully.

There was still a long way to go before he could rebel against the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. What Li Changshou was thinking about was whether the new order would bring about a disaster after he overthrew the order of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. The story of the young man who killed the dragon finally became a dragon was no longer new.

The light in front of him flickered and he had already escaped to the bottom of the Chiliocosm. Ten thousand feet below, there was a light wall formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao and the power of the Saint.

The light wall enveloped the entire Chiliocosm to prevent it from collapsing.

Li Changshou followed the path in his memories and swam in the rock layer. After thousands of kilometers, he found a light blue stream that was between the illusion and reality.

The stream was tens of thousands of feet long and was “embedded” in the rock layer. It began from the void and returned to the void. There were blue light spots inside. Each light spot represented a soul that was prepared to reincarnate.

This was the end of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It was distributed in every Major Chiliocosm that had all five elements and Yin and Yang.

Li Changshou carefully scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses. He wanted to go towards the “treasure” that he had buried more than ten years ago.

Suddenly, a faint aura appeared in front of him. Li Changshou immediately stopped and held his breath. The paper effigy and his main body entered the highest alert state.

A black shadow arrived at the beginning of the stream and opened the sack on his shoulder. Light blue spots of light floated out and merged into the stream, causing the light to become several times richer.

Li Changshou watched that scene quietly. Naturally, he knew that the experts of the Western Sect had secretly captured the soul that was about to reincarnate in the Chiliocosm of the Divine Kingdom of Incense and placed it there.

After the Reincarnation Pagoda was locked by Li Changshou and turned into a spare tool for the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the other party was secretly doing that.

The direct danger was the Chiliocosm where the reincarnation spirit was stolen. Those who were supposed to be pregnant had a miscarriage. In the Chiliocosm, it was extremely simple for a couple to have a child.

The reason why the other party dared to do that was because this place was remote and the power of the Heavenly Dao was thin. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc could not sense it.

Not long after, the expert left quietly.

Li Changshou did not act rashly. He was wary that the other party would retaliate and waited quietly for three…

Day and night.

Finally, he secretly went to the “shore” of the stream and took out two “transcendent-grade Shadow-Retaining Spheres”. He put them in his sleeve and carefully checked them before quickly escaping.

After walking through seven Major Chiliocosms, he did the same thing and retrieved fourteen Postnatal numinous treasure-level Shadow-Retaining Spheres.

The sixth crime of the Western Sect, which could be used during the meeting in the Purple Cloud Palace, was confirmed.

At that time, it would be fine if the Western Sect did not make a sound. However, if a certain Saint was shameless in front of the Dao Ancestor, Li Changshou would ask the Jade Emperor to “hammer” them. It was impossible for him to appear.

Li Changshou was very clear about his position. He was working in the Heavenly Courts and running errands for the Dao Sect. It was already an honor for an immortal to be able to participate in a grand event like the Purple Cloud Palace. It was not his turn to speak.

Of course, to be safe, he still had to be wary of ‘lecturing’ or ‘lecturing on his teacher’s behalf’.

After finishing his work, Li Changshou pondered carefully for a while and used his escape technique to head towards a Major Chiliocosm in the territory of the Immortal Alliance.

After a few decades of development, the Immortal Alliance could be considered to have prospered and become the second immortal Dao force in the trichiliocosm.

The number one faction was naturally the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.

Every three to five years, the Immortal Alliance would organize an attack on the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. They would also successfully save the mortals of the four Major Chiliocosms. According to the “template” that Li Changshou had set, the immortals and mortals would temporarily separate and promote the incense offerings of the Heavenly Courts.

However, as more and more immortal Dao factions joined the Immortal Alliance, the Immortal Alliance became mixed. There were more and more power struggles within, making Li Changshou feel regretful.

It was quite a pity.

If the Immortal Alliance did well, it could become one of the “agents” of the Heavenly Courts in the Three Thousand Worlds.

However, the selfishness of humans was limitless, and so was the selfishness of immortals. They were even more arrogant than mortals. The rate of decay in the Immortal Union was too fast.

I should focus on developing the Heaven Ascension Hall. Speaking of the Heaven Ascension Hall, Li Changshou felt a little admiration for Bai Ze.

Under Bai Ze’s management, the Heaven Ascension Hall was already a famous faction. Its sphere of influence occupied two third-order universes and four Minor Chiliocosms.

Of course, it was all thanks to the help of the Heavenly Courts that they could develop so quickly.

General Dongmu was secretly in charge. The Heavenly Courts sent Spirit Stones, precious materials, cultivation techniques, and pills. They were just short of sending troops to help the Heaven Ascension Hall wipe out the enemy.

There was also the luck that the Heavenly Dao had bestowed, the framework that Li Changshou had given, Bai Ze’s intelligence that had been tested by the ancient Great Tribulation, and the name of the Saintess of the Heaven Ascension Hall that was becoming more and more popular… Ahem, the last one was not the key factor. It could only be considered adding flowers to the brocade.

Li Changshou recalled a famous saying in his previous life—even pigs could fly if they stood on the wind.

The Heaven Ascension Hall was like that.

What was worth mentioning was that the Heaven Ascension Hall already had two “Grand Elders” at the Zenith Heaven realm. They were firmly controlled by Bai Ze and could be considered a deterrent to the outside world of the Heaven Ascension Hall.

That’s right, the Hall Master, Wang Fugui, expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.

A few days later, Li Changshou’s paper effigy arrived at the place where he had agreed to meet Bai Ze. The “coachman” paper effigy also transformed into an ordinary-looking young Daoist.

He held a sheathed sword in his hand and disguised himself as a late-stage Heaven Immortal. He entered a city that was filled with immortals and mortals.

After strolling around the city for half a day, he turned around and arrived at a secluded house. He pushed the door open and entered.

The bamboo forest in front was filled with shadows. The path in the forest was winding.

After closing the door, Li Changshou walked forward.

The sound of the zither could be heard from the side. Bai Ze could be seen turning into a middle-aged Daoist. He was dressed in white and was playing the zither on the limestone in the forest.

He heard a familiar laughter from the elegant pavilion at the end of the path. It was his Grandmaster, Jiang Lin’er, who was urging him.

“Little Jiu, what are you waiting for? Isn’t he here?”

Then, the wooden door opened and a figure was pushed out. He staggered two steps in a sorry state and hurriedly stood up. He looked up and smiled at Li Changshou in embarrassment.

Li Changshou could not help but blink.

He originally thought that, during the first time he officially met Aunt-Master Jiu after so many years, she would be the Saintess of the Heaven Ascension Hall whom he had secretly admired several times. She would be charming, mature, and proud in the mortal world.

However, the person who appeared in front of him was still the Little Aunt-Master who was dressed in a linen blouse, short skirt, and straw sandals. She felt a little guilty when she saw him and felt that she had owed him money for hundreds of years.

The only difference was that the flower bud on her forehead was rather bright. Her short hair had turned into long hair and was tied up into an exquisite sideburn…

Jiang Lin’er urged again, “Say something!”

Jiu Jiu placed her hands behind her back. Her linen shirt was enduring the pressure that it should not have been enduring. She muttered softly, “Long, long time no see.” “Aunt-Master, why have you become distant from me?”

Li Changshou chuckled and put away the paper effigy. He revealed his main body and took out a bottle of Spirit Pills from his sleeve.

Jiu Jiu’s eyes lit up. She jumped up, grabbed the jade pot, and sniffed it. Her eyes lit up.

“Woah, it’s a sixth-grade Spirit Pill!”

Li Changshou took a step forward and reminded with a smile, “Don’t be greedy. The aftereffects are huge.”

“Yes!”

Jiu Jiu secretly gave him a thumbs-up. There was a cross at the corner of her eye.

Li Changshou smiled and looked at the forest beside him.

Bai Ze raised his head and sighed. He looked at Jiu Jiu with hatred. He placed the zither on the green rock and bowed to Li Changshou. “Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

“Mr. Bai, you’re too polite. Didn’t I say to continue calling me Water God?” “Yes, Lord Water God!”

In the pavilion, Jiang Lin’er, Exalted Wang Qing, and Jiu Yiyi walked out together. Jiang Lin’er gritted her teeth and pounced on Jiu Jiu. She grabbed Jiu Jiu’s neck and shook her vigorously.

“I fumbled the ball at the crucial moment. I’ve prepared for nothing all these years!”

Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes. Jiang Lin’er’s gaze landed on Li Changshou.

Li Changshou pretended that he did not understand what they were saying. He smiled and bowed to Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er. He brought the topic to serious matters.

“Mr. Bai, are you ready?” Bai Ze smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lord Taibai Jinxing. They are definitely trustworthy people. Where is the Jade Emperor’s nephew?”

Li Changshou looked at the image that appeared in his heart and shook his head. “He has yet to leave the Jade Spring Mountain. I don’t know what delayed him. However, don’t worry. Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi are guarding there. They will secretly escort him to this Chiliocosm later.” Bai Ze smiled and nodded. He pondered for a while and hesitated.

Li Changshou said, “Mr. Bai, just speak your mind. Why do we have to be bored?”

Bai Ze smiled and said, “Let’s go in and talk. Since the Jade Emperor’s nephew has yet to set off, we have nothing to do here.”

At that moment, Bai Ze invited Li Changshou into the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

The hall was tidied up very neatly. The vase was wiped so much that one could see the figure. The cushion on the chair was also spotless.

Li Changshou did not treat himself as an outsider. He invited Exalted Wang Qing to take a seat while he and Bai Ze sat beside each other. Jiang Lin’er and Jiu Yiyi sat opposite him. The fairies of dozens of worlds were serving tea and water.

Li Changshou was the youngest in the Immortal Du Sect. However, he was now the disciple of the Saint of Ren School and the second-in-command of the Heavenly Courts. He was also the “boss” behind the scenes of the Heaven Ascension Hall. He could not usually call himself a junior.

“Water God.” Bai Ze deliberated over his words and whispered, “I know that the Water God has high hopes for the Jade Emperor’s nephew. He wants to nurture a general for the Heavenly Courts. However, it’s not appropriate for us to… do this.”

Jiang Lin’er muttered from the side, “Anyway, this is the first time I’ve heard that young disciples go out to train. The stories and hardships that they are about to encounter are all set up by their elders who have a feud with them.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s just to be safe.” Bai Ze said, “Why is it safe? Aren’t the two Perfected Ones of Chan School enough to protect him?”

“It’s enough to protect him. However, it’s not enough to guide the child of calamity who is about to mature in a few hundred years.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said seriously, “The obstacles that we designed are actually like books for him to read. The content of the book is something that we can control. The guidance that we can give him can be corrected at any time. According to Senior Brother Yu Ding, Yang Jian had a grudge against the Heavenly Courts. He was tenacious and knew how to endure. That was actually a rather troublesome matter because it was difficult to change the principles he had set his mind on. Time waits for no man. The great calamity would descend at some point and strengthen the guidance of Yang Jian. In fact, it was a huge matter that concerned the stability of the Dao Sect and the Heavenly Courts. We cannot give the demons any chance! The reason why I invited the Heaven Ascension Hall to handle this matter is to prevent him from discovering that the Heavenly Courts are nurturing him behind his back. Before his cultivation level is high, this obsession that hates the Heavenly Courts is also a useful cultivation tool.”

Jiang Lin’er and Exalted Wang Qing looked at each other and remained silent.

That had already exceeded the scope of their understanding. They also felt that Li Changshou’s words were reasonable and hard to refute.

Jiu Jiu could not help but whisper, “Changshou, do you have any deep hatred?”

“Huh? Why are you suddenly asking?”

“I feel that your cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds.” Jiu Jiu blinked guiltily. She did not know if she had said something wrong again.

Li Changshou said calmly, “Nothing else. I just gained more insights.”

Bai Ze stroked his beard and pondered. He asked, “But if he sees through the truth, how should we deal with it?”

Li Changshou was puzzled. “Didn’t you prepare five to six plans previously?”

“That’s true…”

“Didn’t I also come here to protect him?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Bai. Why can’t we work together? Not to mention that if we’re scheming, his master will also cooperate with us.”

Bai Ze smiled and said, “Then I’ll follow the Water God’s orders. What else do we have to pay attention to?”

“Let’s polish the script together.”

Li Changshou took out a scroll and said seriously, “We have to design this matter to have a sense of hierarchy. Let Yang Jian feel that there is a double sublimation of his Dao heart and willpower with effort, rewards, enlightenment, and feelings. I have to let him experience a few more fierce battles and obtain the essence blood of the Magi that is extremely beneficial to him. I have to make the entire process feel real…”

Hence, in the afternoon, a script seminar was held under Li Changshou’s lead.

At the same time, in the Jade Spring Mountain of the five continents of the Primordial World.

A young Daoist packed his luggage and held a long sword. He looked at his small Cave Abode and sighed softly.

His name was Yang Jian, a third-generation disciple of Chan School. He had become a disciple of Perfected Yu Quan and was about to begin his first training outside after cultivation.

This was the fifth time he was preparing to leave the Cave Abode in the past month. When he thought about what he was going to face next, the young man’s eyes flickered with determination. He had to do it this time!

“Brother!”

A soft voice suddenly sounded from the cave entrance. Yang Jian’s eyes focused and he immediately hid the sword behind him. He looked at the beautiful figure at the cave entrance helplessly. The slender girl sighed softly and said softly, “Brother, you still have to leave, right?”

“Little Chan, I’m just going to train.”

“Then why can’t you bring me along?” The young girl took two steps forward. “I’ve already become an immortal…”

Following that, the young girl pursed her lips and said softly with tears in her eyes, “Brother, I don’t want to be separated from you. Can’t you bring me along wherever you go? I’ll always be afraid if you leave me here alone.”

Yang Jian, who originally felt that he had a heart of stone, immediately frowned and his face eased up.

“I’m just going out to train. I can return in a few months. I’m not leaving this place.” “Ah…”

“Master has been waiting for me for a month. I can’t continue to delay.”

“Ah…”

“Alright, I won’t go out. Don’t cry. I’ll accompany you.”

Outside the cave, Perfected Yu Ding, who was meditating on the cloud, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly. However, he did not say anything. Perfected Taiyi, who was beside him, raised his hand to rub his glabella and suddenly laughed.

Every family has its own difficulties. Who doesn’t have a problem with their disciple?

He suddenly found a balance in his mentality.
