My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 577
Chapter 577: Dao Ancestor’s Doubt
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jie… Jie was the old man who had been extremely powerful in the human race?
Bian Zhuang stood outside the pavilion, his hands pressed against the outside of his thighs. He raised his head, puffed out his chest, and bent slightly. He maintained a perfect nervousness, giving off a sense of… being the head instructor of the Heavenly Courts’ service industry.
He was a professional.
At that moment, in Bian Zhuang’s eyes, there were no four figures sitting in the pavilion.
These were four mountains in the history of the human race!
The Three Emperors respected the Suiren Clan, who had yet to appear. Suiren pioneered the world of the human race and led the human race through the darkest times. Before they obtained the power of cultivation, they had already taught the weak mortals to drill through wood and take fire. They fought with the demons of the heavens and the Magi of the earth back then and became the final winner of the ancient times.
Suiren’s influence on the human race was extremely far-reaching. The nature of not accepting fate, fighting with the heavens, and fighting with the earth was engraved in the human bloodline.
In the ancient times, the demons had the right to explain justice.
Then, after a long period of time, the human race prospered and split into Qi Refinement cultivators and mortals.
Fuxi was born in response to destiny. He was the reincarnation of the ancient mighty figure, Fuxi. After he became the human emperor, he imparted spells, set divinations, and sacrifices. He set the balance, reformed, and made outstanding contributions to the overall development of the human race.
The Emperor Xuanyuan of the Five Emperors had inherited the aspirations of the Three Emperors and comprehensively taught the human race. He fought Chi You and gathered immortals and mortals. It was the most glorious era of the ancient human race. From then on, immortals and mortals began to separate.
The Great Yu Emperor ruled the flood and set the Emperor’s system. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the endpoint of the rise of the entire human race.
He looked at Taibai Jinxing. Although he was not the Human Emperor, he represented the highest authority that the human race had in the Three Realms during the era that the Heavenly Courts ruled…
The four big shots sat in the pavilion and discussed. Bian Zhuang naturally did not dare to breathe loudly.
However, among the four of them, Bian Zhuang was most impressed…
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan, the role model of the men of the Primordial World!
From there, he looked into the distance. The continuous palaces in the clouds, the fairies and goddesses that he could see in the distance, were all the great mountains and rivers that Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had built!
Ahem, of course, Bian Zhuang respected his backer, the Grand Pure One’s disciple Li Changshou, the most.
Fuxi had a thin face and a slender figure. He had an immortal aura and mysterious Dao runes. He did not have the domineering aura of an emperor. He looked more like an honest elder.
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had the appearance of a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a light yellow luxurious robe and had a golden sword at his waist. There was a faint smile on his lips. He looked upright and heroic. He inadvertently had an aura of the king and emitted a dazzling charm.
The Great Yu Emperor was the most plain. After all, he was the youngest retired human emperor in the Fire Cloud Cave. He was extremely honest and down-to-earth.
The otherworldly demon was beside Bian Zhuang. Although he was still unconscious, he no longer cried.
At that moment, Li Changshou had yet to mention the uniqueness of Mei Wenhua. He only thought of a way to deal with Kun Peng with the three retired human emperors.
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan frowned. Emperor Da Yu pondered. Fuxi looked at the turtle shell in front of him and could not help but frown. He stroked his beard and said, “It’s difficult.”
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan sighed and said, “Kun Peng is extremely cunning. In my previous life, I was schemed against by it. It does things without any bottom line and has no principles. It can do anything for its own benefit. If there are any disadvantages, it can escape.
There’s probably only one thing in the world that wants to lure it into a trap.”
Li Changshou smiled calmly and said, “Could it be a chance to become a Saint?”
Emperor Huang could not help but smile. “As expected of Lord Taibai Jinxing. You figured it out easily.”
“Senior, you flatter me.”
Fuxi said, “I suffered a calamity in my previous life and was schemed by Kun Peng. I have some grudges with him and have worked with him before. Kun Peng’s alertness far exceeds your imagination. Although his character is poor, he can be considered a formidable person. He’s quite difficult to deal with.”
Emperor Da Yu pondered for a while…
It seemed that he was the only one present who was inexperienced and did not have any feud with Kun Peng.
He should be at home and not in the pavilion. If Senior Shen Nong were there, he could have held a Kun Peng Critical Meeting.
Li Changshou said, “Senior, do you know what weakness the Kun Peng has? Or is there something that the Kun Peng cares about?”
Fuxi shook his head and sighed. “He’s hiding in the Chaos Sea. He has extreme speed. I can’t deduce his location.”
Emperor Xuanyuan continued, “Apart from being too sinister and cunning, Kun Peng has no shortcomings. By the way, how did Lord Taibai Jinxing compete with Kun Peng?”
Li Changshou sighed slightly and explained some of the reasons.
He only said that Kun Peng wanted him to go to the Chaos Sea to meet it and seemed to be plotting something. He did not explain that Kun Peng’s “fish hook” was a relic of his hometown, Senior Lang.
There were some clues that could not be exposed to too many people. There was no need to expose them lest they caused trouble.
Fuxi placed a few coins used by the ancient humans into the turtle shell and made a divination. Then, he gestured for them to chat by themselves. He sat there with his eyes closed and fingers pinched, as if he wanted to pry into the heavenly secrets of Chaos.
When Li Changshou said that he had killed the old molting of the Kun Peng, the old molting was not strong. It was just an empty shell.
Then, he said that when he saw Kun Peng in Xuandu City previously, Kun Peng emitted a powerful pressure and was only at a slight disadvantage when facing the Great Daoist Master head-on.
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan pursed his lips and cursed, “This treacherous and cunning bastard loves to devour living beings’ essence the most.”
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was the reincarnation of the black turtle of the North Continent.
Back then, the Saint had cut off four of the black turtles’ legs and refined them into Heavenly Pillars. The Kun Peng had secretly ambushed the “old neighbor” who could not move. It had devoured the essence of the black turtles and improved greatly.
The black turtle’s resentment turned into the miasma that lingered in the North Continent. At least fifty percent of the reason was because of the Kun Peng.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, “Could it be that Kun Peng can also devour living beings of the Chaos to increase its strength?”
“It seems so.” Da Yu said seriously, “Why don’t we ask the Saint to attack and destroy the Kun Peng?”
However, Emperor Xuanhuang said, “Kun Peng is in the Chaos Sea. As long as he leaves the range that the power of the Heavenly Dao can affect, the Saints will not be able to find him. Moreover, Kun Peng is now mixing with the Connate Godfiends. Its strength cannot be underestimated. Actually, Lord Taibai Jinxing, I have an idea. ”
Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, “Senior, please tell me.”
“Although the Dao laws in the Chaos are chaotic and the order is difficult to understand, there is still the Great Dao to rely on.” Emperor Huang Xuanyuan folded his arms. “I once read a Dao book written by an ancient Connate lifeform. It mentioned the method to set up array formations in the Chaos Sea. If we can set up a stable array in the Chaos Sea, it will be much easier to deal with the Kun Peng.”
Li Changshou said, “There are array formations in the Chaos Sea that can trap Kun Peng. I really don’t know how many rare treasures are needed. What’s more difficult is that we have to gather the remnant Dao laws…”
Fuxi, who was calculating with his fingers, stopped. He opened his eyes and smiled.
“Why don’t we create a chance to become a Saint?”
Emperor Da Yu was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
Just as Fuxi was about to answer, a look of realization flashed across his eyes. He could not help but stroke his beard and chuckle. He looked at Li Changshou.
“Why don’t we let Lord Taibai Jinxing explain? Lord Taibai Jinxing probably has a plan for coming to the Fire Cloud Cave today. He is just giving us some face. He did not make any arrangements directly and is guiding us to come up with such a plan. Is that so, Lord Taibai Jinxing? Hehehe.”
Li Changshou stood up and cupped his hands. He said seriously, “I’ve offended you. Senior, you saw through my intentions at a glance.”
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Emperor Da Yu looked at each other. The two of them were both old emperors. Although they did not understand the crux of the matter, they smiled at the same time.
They seemed to understand but not entirely.
The business of the Human Emperor had yet to be completed.
Beside him, Tu Shan and two maidservants rode a cloud over.
Da Yu hurriedly stood up and took the initiative to welcome them. He served the tea that his wife had brought to the guests.
Then, Tu Shan bowed and left. They had given Da Yu enough face in front of outsiders.
Although she did not have any luxurious clothes, she looked graceful. Although she did not have any makeup, she was still as beautiful as before. After all, she was the wife of a human emperor. Back then, she had also suppressed the women of an era.
Emperor Da Yu asked, “What are Senior Fuxi and Changgeng plotting?”
Fuxi said slowly, “Why don’t you let me make a simple deduction… Lord Taibai Jinxing?”
“Senior, just call me Changgeng,” Li Changshou added softly.
“Alright, Changgeng.”
Fuxi reorganized his thoughts and slowly said, “You came to the Fire Cloud Cave to ask for an item. There are not many things in this world. Compared to other places, it’s best to find it in the Fire Cloud Cave. However, the eight of us have already merged with this item and turned it into the Heavenly Dao. It is actually just a mark. It is very difficult to take it out and use it… Let me think about it. Do you want to fake it and create a rumor? Then, let me say something to prove it?”
“Yes.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior, you’ve guessed my thoughts.”
Emperor Da Yu, who was at the side, was enlightened. “So you’re talking about the Primordial Violet Qi.”
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan continued to smile.
Li Changshou secretly made a comparison in his heart and immediately realized that… the method that Fuxi had given him was slightly more brilliant than the idea that he had previously come up with.
I’ll use it.
That’s the benefit of being slow!
Where did the Primordial Violet Vapor of the retired Human Emperor come from?
In the ancient times, at the end of the Purple Cloud Palace’s Dao preaching, the good person, Hong Yun, had also obtained a wisp of Primordial Violet Vapor. However, just as she left the Purple Cloud Palace, she was ambushed by Kun Peng and died. The Primordial Violet Vapor was taken away by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
Then, when the Three Emperors and Five Kings reincarnated, the Dao Ancestor divided the Primordial Violet Qi into eight. As a pension for leading the human race to prosper, he distributed them to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Li Changshou had come to the Fire Cloud Cave to find the Emperor to discuss fishing the Kun Peng. He had come for the Primordial Violet Vapor.
He did not need the Primordial Violet Qi of the eight human emperors. After hearing Fuxi’s words, he knew that the essence of the Primordial Violet Qi was the “permit of the Heavenly Dao”. He could not extract it and use it again.
Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts and smiled.
“There are indeed some articles here. For example, back then, the Primordial Violet Qi was divided into eight portions, or rather, nine. There was also a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi that was stored in the Purple Cloud Palace. This wisp of Primordial Violet Vapor came from the same source as the Primordial Violet Vapor used by the seniors in the Fire Cloud Cave. Therefore, before it appeared, strange phenomena appeared in the Fire Cloud Cave. The eight seniors were alarmed. The news happened to be spread by Senior Xuanyuan’s family. Everything was flawless. The louder the sound, the better. It would be best if it could cause the Heavenly Dao to tremble. The Jade Emperor and I can work hard on that. However, he quickly suppressed the phenomenon. That way, it would be much more believable.”
“That’s right.” Fuxi chuckled. “I noticed that the Heavenly Courts spread the news extremely quickly. I reckon that since Kun Peng could control the Heavenly Fiend Clan, it must have set up spies in the Primordial World. If you want to deceive Kun Peng and make it take the bait, you have to deceive the living beings of the Three Realms. The fewer people who know the truth, the better.”
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan, who was at the side, said warmly, “I can let them spread the news first. Then, I can let the thirteen consorts immediately gather everyone for a meeting. Before the matter outside is completed, cut off their contact with their respective families.”
Li Changshou cupped his hands and thanked him. “Thank you, Senior.”
“It’s a small matter, a small matter.” Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand and smiled calmly.
What is a winner of the Primordial World?
At that moment, Li Changshou and Fuxi decided on a huge scheme against the Kun Peng.
It was easy to say, but he had to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control. He had to prevent the living beings of the Primordial World from getting beaten up. He had to be fully prepared.
He could tell that the retirement life in the Fire Cloud Cave was comfortable but boring. Fuxi had opened his mouth and was tempted by schemes. He casually came up with schemes one after another, making Li Changshou admire him.
As expected of an ancient mighty figure. As expected of the ancient emperor.
After discussing in the pavilion for half a day, a general plan surfaced. He had already caught Kun Peng’s fishing rod and hook. He was just short of locking Kun Peng’s fishing rope.
If the Primordial World had the last wisp of Primordial Violet Vapor and the last wisp of the opportunity to become a Saint, it would escape into outer space. The Xuandu City could immediately become a huge vortex.
It was a huge temptation for the Kun Peng. As long as he could deceive the Kun Peng in the early stages, the Kun Peng would most likely take the bait.
Naturally, Li Changshou was more focused on considering various possible scenarios in advance and observing what happened during the operation. He would correspond and deduce the other party’s movements.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
Fuxi sighed and said, “We can’t leave the world casually, but we can’t go to the Xuandu City to ambush together.”
Li Changshou said, “Now, there are many experts in the Dao Sect. As long as Kun Peng can appear and not unleash its extreme speed at the first moment, we have a 90% chance of keeping him.”
“It’s not easy to break Kun Peng’s speed,” Emperor Huang Xuanyuan said. “We have to deal with this matter in advance. Otherwise, no matter how meticulous the arrangements are, the other party would turn around and escape.”
“We still have to discuss this matter in the long run.” Li Changshou did not say everything. He did not mention how his Great Dao of Equalization was.
Let the seniors think about it. They might have a better idea.
It was said that having an old man was like having a treasure. The Fire Cloud Cave… was a treasure vault.
…
Fuxishi and Li Changshou discussed and schemed. They felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
Li Changshou made friends based on the other party’s background. However, he wanted to see if the other party would cause trouble in the future.
For example, the few human sages in the Fire Cloud Cave were not simple people. They either had outstanding charisma and had a good view of the overall situation, or they deduced, divined, and had astonishing intelligence. It was naturally beneficial to build a good relationship with them.
Unknowingly, it was already noon. Li Changshou and Fuxi had sorted out the general sequence and some details. Li Changshou had to make arrangements for the rest.
Li Changshou changed the topic and asked about Suiren.
The expressions of the three kings immediately turned solemn.
“Not optimistic.” Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan sighed and said, “Senior Suiren will naturally not be taken advantage of by the demonic aura. His mind is extremely tough. Even the Fallen Demons maintain their sacredness and can suppress the demonic aura every time. However, every time he suppresses the demonic aura, he will expend Senior Suiren’s essence. In the long run, he might not even be able to live forever.”
Emperor Da Yu said, “Every time, it’s very painful.”
Li Changshou frowned when he heard that. The situation seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.
Back then, when he first came to Fire Cloud Cave to visit, because the Heavenly Courts were not prominent and his reputation was far inferior to today, although the few Imperial Lords treated him warmly, Emperor Da Yu kept it a secret when he mentioned Senior Suiren and told him not to ask.
This was mainly for the sake of Suiren’s reputation. It was to prevent the news from spreading and being casually spread by ignorant juniors.
Now, he was already the Lord Taibai Jinxing. The Heavenly Courts was destined to prosper and was about to take over the Three Realms. The few Imperial Lords finally told them about Senior Suiren.
Actually, Li Changshou had the right to know about that.
“I came to the Fire Cloud Cave today to visit you, seniors. Secondly, I wanted to teach you about the Kun Peng. Thirdly, I came for Senior Suiren. Bian Zhuang, bring the Heavenly Fiend over.”
“Yes.” Bian Zhuang agreed and led the bubble that Mei Wenhua was wrapped in into the pavilion. He looked at Emperor Huang Xuanyuan excitedly and lowered his head. He bowed and quickly returned to his original position.
Fuxi frowned and asked, “Are you saying that this is a… Heavenly Fiend?”
“That’s right.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. He took out his “Heavenly Demon Research Notebook” from his sleeve and handed it to the three seniors to take a look. Then, he stood up and walked to the side of the sleeping Mei Wenhua. He began to slowly explain the origin of Mei Wenhua.
When Li Changshou spoke, he had an idea. He used the Dao heart demon planting technique to do the opposite and plant demons in the demon heart. He did not expect that he would completely reverse the Dao of the Heavenly Demon…
The expressions of the three retired human emperors were extremely interesting.
Da Yu scolded jokingly, “When others see the Heavenly Demons, they want to stay as far away as possible. Yet, you went up and gave the Heavenly Demons the mental demons!”
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan sized up Mei Wen for a while and shook his head. “It’s unbelievable. It’s amazing.”
Fuxi put down the bamboo slip in his hand and smiled bitterly.
“Let’s talk about the ninth wisp of Primordial Violet Vapor. The latter waves really surpass the former. There’s actually such an extraordinary person like you in the world! It is really a great creation.”
Li Changshou felt a little embarrassed.
Actually, this was a misunderstanding. He had originally only wanted to destroy the Heavenly Demon Heart Defense and obtain information that he could believe.
To make a pioneer like him believe, he had to satisfy certain conditions. It was impossible for him to casually analyze five or six levels and believe it…
That was why Mei Wenhua had defected to the demons.
“I want to ask.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “If I borrow the power of the Heavenly Demon, can I help Senior Suiren relieve the trap of the demonic aura?”
Emperor Huang smiled and said, “I think there’s a chance.”
Fuxi said, “Don’t be anxious. I’ll invite Fellow Daoists to discuss together.”
The few of them agreed and split up to invite the other Imperial Lords who were in seclusion. This was a huge matter for the Fire Cloud Cave.
Li Changshou sat in the pavilion and drank tea quietly. Then, he closed his eyes and pondered. He quickly sorted out the plan that he had just set in the Little Qiong Peak.
At the same time…
Above the Nine Heavens, outside the world, in the Purple Cloud Palace.
The bamboo forest that Li Changshou had once gone to was in a mysterious illusion. The Dao Ancestor was sitting in the straw hut and frowning at the square table in front of him.
There was a disc on the square table. The clear image revealed was the situation in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Super Pure Transmission, Heavenly Dao specialization!
At that moment, the Dao Ancestor pondered for a while. He opened his left hand, and a wisp of purple and green light intertwined and circled gently in his palm.
“Did this fellow guess randomly?”
Not necessarily. This little grand-disciple might have already seen something…
“Interesting.”
