Chapter 548: Brother Shou of the Society
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When did the Immortal Du Sect get exposed?
In the empty Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou stood quietly by the lake and looked in the direction of the Heaven-Breaking Peak. He listened to the faint sobbing in the air and felt empty.
It should not be a direct exposure.
Perhaps Bai Ze, Uncle Gongming, and the Fairy of the Three-Immortal Island came and went.
Perhaps Ksitigarbha had tricked the demons to attack the Immortal Sect of Ren School and appeared in the Immortal Du Sect.
Perhaps it was because the Truth Listener divine beast, who was used to pretending to be confused, had spoken the truth to the Western Sect.
Of course, there were two more possibilities. The Saint directly interfered, or the other party had a rough deduction from a series of events.
Was Maitreya declaring war on Ren School?
No, it’s not that simple.
The nature of this matter was already extremely bad. If he wanted to make a fuss, there would be too many negative effects.
However, should he just let it go like that?
The Immortal Du Sect had lost a Sect Leader. Although the remnant souls had been protected, they had suffered heavy losses.
Maitreya had really given him a difficult problem. Furthermore, no matter which direction he deduced this problem from, he would not want to see the outcome.
When things reach an extreme, they will go in the opposite direction. Actually, sometimes, when people reach an extreme, they will go to another extreme…
“Senior Brother.” Ling’e’s voice sounded from behind.
Li Changshou assented and placed the Dharma treasure that was nourishing his essence soul into his chest.
Ling’e walked forward quickly and grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. She said softly, “Punish me.”
“Why should I punish you?”
“Everything… has been exposed.”
Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Ling’e’s head. He said warmly, “The Immortal Du Sect’s losses this time can be minimized. You have contributed the most. It’s mainly my fault. The paper effigy’s mystical abilities were destroyed, so it did not have any means to retaliate.”
“No, Senior Brother.”
Ling’e bit her lips gently and rested her forehead on Li Changshou’s shoulder.
“Don’t feel guilty. Senior Brother, you taught me. We can’t feel guilty because bad people did evil things. We can’t stop them in time. Those evil people are the ones who did evil.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “You’re comforting me instead. Go and pack up. I’ll bring you to meet many people later.”
Ling’e blinked, confused.
Lightning suddenly flickered in the sky, and dark clouds came from the southeast.
The immortals from the Immortal Du Sect immediately rose into the sky. They were originally reminiscing about the Sect Leader and their fellow disciples who had died previously. At that moment, their eyes were filled with anger and vigilance.
Li Changshou’s voice sounded everywhere.
“Fellow disciples, don’t panic. I’ve transferred 5,000 Heavenly Soldiers to protect the sect and help it survive this period of time.”
The immortals in the sect heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to the Little Qiong Peak.
Although sorrow was spreading everywhere, another piece of news was equally shocking.
The disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, no, an immortal, was the Little Qiong Peak’s Li Changshou, who did not reveal himself and only occasionally became famous because of some interesting rumors.
He was actually the third person of Ren School, the second disciple of Ren School’s Sect Master, the famous Lord Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Courts!
When the identity tags were exposed layer by layer, the “wall” that was piled on Li Changshou’s body was extremely thick. The immortals from the same sect did not dare to approach.
The dark clouds flew over and figures quickly landed. Groups of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarded the four corners of the Immortal Du Sect. Ao Yi, who was leading the troops, rushed to the periphery of the Little Qiong Peak.
“Brother Sect Master, the five thousand soldiers have been brought here!”
“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded and stood by the lake with his hands behind his back. He gestured for Ao Yi to wait at the side.
At that moment, a white cloud floated over from the south. Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi arrived together. They had just received news that the Immortal Du Sect had been attacked and rushed over to investigate the situation.
Li Changshou sighed and focused on greeting his two senior brothers.
Perfected Taiyi asked directly, “What’s going on? Did the Western Sect cause trouble again?”
“The immortals who attacked this place are all from Jie School,” Li Changshou said softly. Perfected Taiyi could not help but frown.
Li Changshou’s relationship with Jie School could not be said to be known by everyone, but he did not hide it from anyone.
No one would believe that the immortals of Jie School had ambushed Li Changshou’s original “old sect”.
Either a traitor had appeared in Jie School or someone had deliberately provoked them.
When he saw that Tai Yi and Yu Ding were about to ask, Li Changshou said, “Let’s not talk about this for now. Wait for me to reply.”
Taiyi and Yu Ding looked at each other. They could naturally tell that Li Changshou was in a terrible mood. They did not say anything else and waited by the side.
Not long after, a loud cry sounded. The Golden Roc spread its wings and came over. Seven to eight figures jumped down from its back.
The person in the lead was the Goddess of Golden Spirit. Behind her were Zhao Gongming, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit, the Great Black Clouds Immortal, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, the Heavenly Lord Qin, and a pair of master and disciple.
As soon as she landed, the Goddess of Golden Spirit quickly walked forward and said to Li Changshou, “Changgeng, don’t be anxious. My Jie School will never do such a thing. Someone must have schemed behind my back.”
Zhao Gongming said, “It’s definitely a scheme, but who’s plotting? I can’t bear to see us having a deep relationship with Changgeng.”
Li Changshou slowly sighed and said, “Most of the people have arrived. I’ll share my opinion. The immortals from Jie School who ambushed the Immortal Du Sect today had their essence souls tampered with. However, we do not have any proof, and we cannot confirm who did it. Also, before the Immortal Du Sect suffered the calamity, I was transferred far away. The one who transferred me away was the Primordial Beast raised by the Western Sect.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit glared. “I’ll go and kill them now!”
The Immortal Du Sect immortals hurriedly stopped him.
“Everyone, I don’t want to blow this matter up.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect has died. There are more than 300 casualties in the sect. I know that the Immortal Du Sect is not large enough to be considered a large sect. However, in my eyes, this place is rather important.”
Zhao Gongming said, “I know this the most. Changgeng, investigate it to the end! Whoever dares to stop you, I will definitely teach them a lesson!”
“What if the last clue is lost on Jie School?”
Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “The other party’s plan is quite brilliant. As long as I investigate the Three Sects of the Dao Sect will have a conflict because of this matter unless I directly investigate the Western Sect.”
The Goddess of Fire Spirit asked, “Uncle-Master, are we just going to let this matter go?”
“It’s impossible for me to let it go. Firstly, Jie School…”
Li Changshou’s gaze skipped over the few of them and looked at the master and disciple standing behind. He said calmly, “What’s the matter with the Blood Transformation Divine Saber? Are you willing to give me an explanation?”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned and looked at her disciple. He was a Qi Refinement cultivator from the Penglai Island of Jie School, a slightly famous Immortal Qi, Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan trembled slightly and immediately looked at her disciple, Yu Hua.
Yu Yuan said, “Yu Hua, have you refined the Blood Transformation Blade?”
Yu Hua lowered his head and was about to speak when the Goddess of Golden Spirit shouted softly, “Kneel!”
“Yes.” Yu Hua cried and knelt in the middle of the immortals. He lowered his head and said, “Grandmaster, Master, I have indeed refined the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, but the Blood Transformation Divine Saber is not a mystical ability that I have. I have already explained to the disciples how to cultivate the Blood Transformation Divine Saber. I’m willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao that I have no ulterior motives towards Jie School and no intention to harm Grandmaster Changgeng. I definitely have nothing to do with what happened today!”
With a rumbling sound, the power of the Heavenly Dao came and went. There was indeed nothing unusual.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was also in a dilemma. She frowned and looked at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou said, “I hope… naturally, it’s just hope. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of Jie School, restrain the disciples and investigate how the immortals of Jie School were schemed against and how they became the knives in the hands of others. Give me an explanation that is no less than 50,000 words.”
“Alright!”
Zhao Gongming agreed immediately. He turned around and said, “Yu Yuan, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
The disciple of the Goddess of Golden Spirit, Yu Hua, immediately lowered his head and bowed. He hurriedly said, “I will not disappoint Uncle-Master Changgeng!”
Li Changshou nodded slowly and said, “I trust Jie School. Everyone, don’t think too much. This matter has come to an end. Please make a trip here. Brother, please go to the Three-Immortal Island and help me bring a message to her. Tell her that I’m moving the Little Qiong Peak to the Heavenly Courts and that she wants to summon me using the jade token later.”
“Hey… When are you moving to the Heavenly Courts?”
“Today.”
Li Changshou’s expression was a little cold, but he quickly smiled. Zhao Gongming was confused.
Half a day later, the Golden Roc turned into a hundred feet tall. Under the protection of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, it carried Ling’e and the Little Qiong Peak, which had turned into a rock garden, and headed towards the Heavenly Gate.
The immortals of Jie School had already returned. Li Changshou asked them to give an explanation. They had also given an explanation. After returning, they immediately began to investigate the identities of the thirteen immortals of Jie School. They gathered the immortals who knew how to refine the Blood Transformation Divine Saber and investigated them one by one.
However, Li Changshou was nowhere to be seen.
When the Golden Roc carried the Little Qiong Peak into the East Heavenly Gate and flew towards the Grand White Palace under the attention of everyone, In the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, Li Changshou sent Ji Wuyou’s remnant soul into the treasure pool and looked at the Lady of Earth apologetically.
“I’ll have to trouble you again.”
The Lady of Earth shook her head gently and said, “Don’t give yourself too much pressure. You’ve already done well.”
“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and stared at Qi Yuan’s remnant soul for a while. He was indeed in a much better mood.
Now, it was time to talk about settling scores.
…
Crash…
On the top of the Reincarnation Pagoda, Ksitigarbha looked at the wooden cabinet that he had just repaired and was smashed by Truth Listener. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Truth Listener was kicked out by the young Daoist in front of it. The kick was rather hard, and he used some skill to stop the force on Truth Listener’s body, preventing it from attacking the structure of the Reincarnation Pagoda.
Truth Listener’s limbs twitched from the kick. It could not recover for a while.
It was not that Ksitigarbha did not want to move, nor was it that he did not want to go. Instead, the young Daoist priest in front of him barged in without any explanation and used the power of the Divine Power to shout at him, “Shut up and don’t move.”
With that said, he grabbed Truth Listener’s neck and grabbed the side. He punched and kicked Truth Listener until it almost vomited blood.
Ksitigarbha could not move or speak.
That was the miniature version of the God roll.
“Water… Lord Taibai Jinxing!”
Truth Listener smiled bitterly. “I really didn’t leak a thing about the Immortal Du Sect. I knew about this long ago. My master kept asking me but I didn’t tell him. I still don’t know how powerful the Saint of Ren School is. How can I dare to offend Ren School?”
Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “Has Maitreya been here?”
“Yes.”
“Are you involved?”
“Definitely not! I’m definitely not involved! Maitreya deduced it himself. Your previous series of actions had actually separated the Immortal Du Sect from the other sects! Especially that time, you were like a divine soldier and heavenly general. You brought a group of Dao soldiers and ambushed the demons in the Immortal Du Sect…”
Truth Listener crawled up and said bitterly, “At that time, Maitreya interrogated me. I was already sure that he knew about that. When he said that you had once cultivated in the Immortal Du Sect, his people had already arrived above the Immortal Du Sect. This matter indeed has nothing to do with me! Don’t be anxious. I’ll swear a Great Dao oath now…”
Li Changshou took out two scrolls from his sleeve and threw them in front of Truth Listener. “Make two oaths. You don’t have to participate in the battle of the sect in the future. Stay here and accompany your master obediently.
If not for the fact that you have reported to me several times previously, I would definitely not allow you to stay here today. ”
“Thank you, Lord Star Lord! Thank you for sparing my life!”
Truth Listener sighed and opened the scroll with its claws. It could not help but cry as it began to read word by word.
Li Changshou looked at Ksitigarbha and said, “Move.”
Ksitigarbha’s originally stiff body immediately moved. He smiled at Li Changshou.
“I rarely see you suffer.”
“This time, it’s far inferior to the time when you schemed against the Dragon Palace in the East Ocean.”
“What do you want to know from me?”
“Maitreya,” Li Changshou said calmly.
Ksitigarbha nodded slowly and asked, “Why should I betray Eldest Senior Brother to help you?”
“You understand me.” Li Changshou’s gaze was slightly sharp.
Ksitigarbha could not help but be silent. Then, he sneered and said, “Eldest Senior Brother is a strange person. Or rather, someone who only thinks about his own situation, which is why he has been expelled from the spiritual mountain by Teacher. However, the spiritual mountain is in decline now. My Eldest Senior Brother’s cultivation level has reached a certain level and he has returned. To outsiders, he said that he is in seclusion. He dealt with the Immortal Du Sect today because he wanted to make you unhappy. He wanted to take revenge for being defeated in the Heavenly Courts.”
“There’s not much just revenge. It’s just an excuse to make himself look better.”
Li Changshou said, “He did it flawlessly this time. The marks in the remnant souls pointed to the Immortal Chi Jingzi of Chan School. He seems to be fearless, but he had actually made thorough arrangements. He was afraid that we would not admit to it later. He is really on the same path as a senior expert. The most important goal of this Senior Brother of yours is to tell me that he has the strength and determination to flip the table at any time. The bottom line is that there will not be a battle between Saints. He wants me to restrain myself when dealing with the Western Sect. Right?”
Ksitigarbha closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. “His tricks really won’t work on you.”
“In the ancient times, he should have been used to smooth sailing.”
Ksitigarbha did not agree. He sat there and did not reply.
For a moment, on the Reincarnation Pagoda, there was only Truth Listener’s sobbing as it lowered its head and recited the Heavenly Dao oath. It was aggrieved and could not control itself.
An hour later, Truth Listener was like a frosted eggplant. It lay listlessly on the ground and hid behind.
Li Changshou turned around and was about to leave. Ksitigarbha seemed to have the habit of asking questions before leaving.
“May I ask where your bottom line is?”
“Teacher said that.” Li Changshou turned his head slightly and left Ksitigarbha a side profile.
However, Maitreya’s side profile always had a strange smile, while Li Changshou’s side profile was calm.
“Saints cannot die.”
Ksitigarbha was clearly stunned.
…
After leaving the Netherworld, Li Changshou headed west and sorted out his thoughts.
He maintained his clear Dao heart and would not be affected by his emotions.
He had to respond to the Immortal Du Sect.
Be it from the perspective of the dignity of Ren School, his future plans, or warning the Western Sect, he had to stand in front of them.
The paper effigy’s mystical abilities had been broken, and Maitreya’s meticulous arrangements were reminding Li Changshou that his style of doing things and his usual thinking had been figured out.
He naturally had to be stable, but not without a bottom line.
The person placed the knife on his neck and scratched it gently, although it was only a scratch…
However, if he did not retaliate, he would only be treated as a compromise by others. He would be treated as a kind person who could be bullied!
Wind Escape, Cosmic Escape, traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers!
At the border of the Aparagodānīya Continent, Li Changshou stopped and frowned at the figure standing on the cloud in front of him.
Wei Shenmo.
He sighed softly in his heart and walked forward. He bowed to Wei Shenmo and said, “General, why are you here?”
“Of course I’m waiting for you.” Wei Shenmo smiled and said, “I’ve been waiting for you in the Heavenly Courts for a long time. I didn’t see you come, so I thought that you might go and confront the Western Sect. I’m really worried about the two Saints of the Western Sect… It’s just a little troublesome to transform.”
Li Changshou’s heart warmed. He said seriously, “Your Majesty, let me…”
“Let’s go.” Wei Shenmo smiled and said, “I’m here. Do you think the two Saints of the Western Sect can’t see me? Scold me today.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and smiled warmly. He walked forward with Wei Shenmo.
The spiritual mountain quickly drew closer. The golden peak on it shone brightly.
He heard the bell ring. The spiritual mountain was ready for battle. A few disciples of the Saint level of the Deputy Sect Master flew out to welcome him.
However, Li Changshou landed on the hillside of the spiritual mountain and walked up the broad and magnificent golden stairs.
The old Daoists of the spiritual mountain frowned and looked at each other.
This fellow respects their spiritual mountain so much? Even if an ordinary Zenith Heaven came to visit the spiritual mountain, they would not take the golden stairs…
There were fifty steps left on the golden staircase. Li Changshou raised his left hand in the air. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda appeared above his head and rotated. The Mysterious Yellow aura scattered down.
There were forty steps left on the golden staircase. The Cosmic Ruler appeared in his left palm and was held by Li Changshou.
There were thirty steps left on the golden stairs. Li Changshou looked up at the magnificent golden mountain gate. The signboard at the gate was engraved with the words’ spiritual mountain ‘. There was a mark of a twelfth-grade golden lotus in the middle.
He lifted the hem of his Daoist robe and stuffed it into his belt.
At that moment, the old Daoist priest of the spiritual mountain was confused.
Li Changshou took another ten steps and opened his left hand. A golden line streaked across the sky. A black-red meteor landed and turned into a spear that Li Changshou held firmly.
The God-Slaying Spear was a weakened version.
How could the old Daoists of the spiritual mountain not see that Li Changshou was about to attack? They quickly retreated and shouted.
“Li Changgeng, you dare?!”
“Quick! Quickly invite Teacher to appear!”
Suddenly, the spiritual mountain shone with golden light. The clouds gathered and were about to condense into a thousand-feet-tall image of a Saint.
At that moment, on the cloud above Li Changshou’s head, General Wei Shenmo’s body emitted rays of golden light. With a shake of his body, he transformed into the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts and looked straight at the Saint Dharma Idol that was about to condense!
That was not the end.
A clear sword chime suddenly sounded in the sky above the spiritual mountain. A sword that was sheathed revealed a 10,000-feet-tall shadow that hung in the sky behind Li Changshou!
The Qingping Sword!
As soon as the Qingping Sword landed, Li Changshou looked at his left shoulder and saw the image of a Taiji Painting condensed in the clouds. Its diameter was also 10,000 feet. However, the pressure emitted by the Taiji Painting almost caused the golden light of the entire spiritual mountain to dissipate!
The image of the Saint on the spiritual mountain returned to the clouds.
Bang!
Li Changshou was already standing under the golden door. The long spear in his hand stopped gently on the ground as he looked around the spiritual mountain.
Then, he did not say a word. He suddenly jumped up, raised the spear in his hand, and smashed it vertically. The golden memorial immortal light surged, but it only lasted for an instant before it broke!
The entire gate collapsed in an instant. The spiritual mountain rumbled and cracks appeared on the mountain.
In the dust, Li Changshou looked at the old Daoists. He saw that they were indignant, worried, and uneasy. His heart remained calm.
The way to break the situation was to jump out of the logic set by Maitreya and transfer all the contradictions to the ruins.
“Hmph!”
With a sweep of his sleeve, Li Changshou turned around and rode a cloud into the sky. However, he did not say anything.
