My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 611
Chapter 611: The Jade Emperor’s Might Suppresses Kunlun!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Jade Emperor is here…
He had to be there personally.
Guang Chengzi was almost done sealing the path. If he did not allow the Little Boss of the Heavenly Courts to appear at such a crucial moment, would it develop to the point of alarming the Big Boss of the Heavenly Dao?
Li Changshou pursed his lips and silently cursed. Then, he activated his clear Dao heart. A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, followed by a warm smile.
“Life is like a show. It’s all about acting.”
Li Changshou sat on Bai Ze’s back and followed beside the Nine Dragons Carriage. He was even a little relaxed and not nervous at all.
The Jade Emperor had no choice but to come.
According to his and Bai Ze’s deductions, that was the only way to minimize the possibility of Chan School and Jie School falling out.
His immortal senses captured the immortals of Jie School rushing towards the Jade Void Palace in the direction of Mount Emei.
They had not gone far previously. Li Changshou’s paper effigy was in Zhao Gongming’s sleeve.
When the Jade Emperor rushed to the Jade Void Palace, they continued to come over to be witnesses and get involved.
If they really wanted to cause a conflict between the three sects today, there had to be immortals from Jie School. Otherwise, the immortals of Jie School would be extremely passive.
Originally, Li Changshou wanted to use a stalling technique to see if he could find an opportunity to resolve the Dao Sect’s crisis. However, he did not expect…
In less than half a day!
In less than half a day, he had chickened out!
Li Changshou was still discussing the follow-up with Bai Ze. He had just found some ideas and was about to rush to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!
Ju Liusun who was one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School was only interrogated by General Dongmu and the other Golden Immortals in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. The Jade Emperor had yet to exert any pressure…
Ju Liusun came clean.
Are General Dongmu and the others very terrifying?
If not for the fact that Ju Liusun was restrained and severely injured, he could have made General Dongmu walk the “fixed path”!
Just…
It was ridiculous!
It was extremely ridiculous.
Ju Liusun said that he was just following orders of the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, Daoist Randeng.
However, he was smart enough to not say anything about the world. That way, Chan School would not have any room to retreat.
Ju Liusun only said, “Deputy Sect Master is concerned about the fact that Taibai Jinxing, who is in charge of the Tribulation, is too close to Fairy Yun Xiao of Jie School. I’m afraid that during the Tribulation, Chan School will be targeted by Taibai Jinxing.”
Then, the Deputy Sect Master told him about the plan and asked him to find some itinerant cultivators to secretly threaten Chang’e of the Moon Palace and plot against his trusted subordinate, the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang.
“As long as something happens to Bian Zhuang and the matter is pointed towards Jie School, it will definitely cause a rift between Taibai Jinxing and Yun Xiao…”
He sold Randeng out.
Li Changshou smiled bitterly in his heart.
If such a saying were to spread, it would definitely damage Yun Xiao’s gentle Dao heart, which was actually very sensitive, and make her feel that she was dragging him down.
However, the overall effect was better than Ju Liusun saying that the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School wanted the three sects to fight as soon as possible.
That would be the real deal.
If Li Changshou did not know that the Ju Liusun’s path would become the same as Daoist Randeng in the original God-Conferment Path…
He had every reason to believe that Guang Chengzi had deliberately sent Guang Chengzi to deal with Randeng!
Li Changshou became angrier the more he thought about it. He almost could not suppress his clear Dao heart.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for half a day. I’ve already found an idea with Bai Ze. Perhaps I can make this fellow less guilty!”
It was really for nothing!
It was useless to say that now.
There might be many schemes involved. We only needed to achieve our goal.
The waters of Chan School were much muddier than he had imagined.
Li Changshou thought to himself. He could already see the traces of Kunlun Mountain ahead.
The Kunlun Mountain was like the spine of the ancient Ancestral Dragon. It rose from the gentle terrain and crawled and meandered on the ground. The spirit veins were dense and filled with spiritual energy. The shadows of the Great Dao could be seen everywhere.
Not long after, the Nine Dragons Carriage arrived in front of the Jade Void Palace. It did not enter the Jade Void Palace directly.
When they looked out of the Jade Void Palace, they could see the black clouds rolling and the azure dragon roaring. This made many immortals’ expressions change.
Hundreds of thousands of troops stood on the black cloud. They were divided into three levels, one on the left and one on the right. The power of the Heavenly Dao was extremely rich!
The immortal light around him dissipated. Nine azure dragons lay on the mountain. The Jade Emperor was dressed in white and maintained his young face. He slowly stood up from the carriage.
He simply put his hands behind his back and exuded an indescribable dignity.
Golden clouds appeared around the Jade Emperor. Seven-colored rays of light surrounded him. His figure seemed to have arrived above the Jade Void Palace, but he remained three kilometers away.
At that moment, figures flew out from the Jade Void Palace. Most of them looked suspicious, and a small number of them had cold expressions.
Guang Chengzi brought the twelve Golden Immortals who had yet to return to their respective Cave Abodes forward and bowed in the cloud.
Guang Chengzi said loudly, “I, a Jade Void Palace disciple greets Uncle-Master Hao Tian! Uncle-Master, you’re a rare guest. Please enter the hall to rest. ”
Rare guest?
The Jade Emperor looked unhappy. He stood in the carriage and snorted coldly, making the immortals of Chan School feel very uncertain.
The Jade Emperor said, “There’s no need to go in the hall. I’m here today to capture the criminals of the Heavenly Courts. Where is Daoist Randeng?”
Guang Chengzi maintained a faint smile and said, “Uncle-Master, Daoist Randeng is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. He was even closer to Teacher in ancient times. He is not in charge of teaching. Uncle-Master said that he is a criminal of the Heavenly Courts. May I know what he has done?”
Beside the carriage, Li Changshou, who had been holding back from moving forward, looked thoughtful.
Indeed, no matter how intense the battle was usually, Guang Chengzi had no choice but to protect Randeng at that moment.
However, is it really that simple?
Li Changshou watched that scene quietly. He sat on Bai Ze’s back and did not move forward or speak.
The script had been written for His Majesty. There were no lines, only some “norms”.
The person who suppressed the Kunlun Mountain this time was the Jade Emperor. He had no direct relationship with the three sects.
At that moment, the Jade Emperor was rather arrogant.
When he heard Guang Chengzi’s words, the Jade Emperor only said calmly, “Do I need to report this to you?”
“I wouldn’t dare,” Guang Chengzi said seriously. “I have no intention of interfering with the actions of the Heavenly Courts. However, Deputy Sect Master Randeng is the only Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. He was also personally taught by Teacher in ancient times…
Uncle-Master, did Ju Liusun spout nonsense?”
“Alright, since that’s the case!”
The Jade Emperor waved his sleeve and threw a Shadow-Retaining Ball at the cloud path in front of Guang Chengzi.
“Then come and take a look! This is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School.”
Guang Chengzi frowned and raised his hand to take the Shadow-Retaining Ball into his palm. Before he could call out, dozens of immortals gathered.
Guang Chengzi, who was originally a little hesitant, could only open the Shadow-Retaining Ball and release the scene inside. When the immortals of Chan School saw it, their expressions were brilliant.
What the Shadow-Retaining Ball remembered was the scene that had just happened. It was the scene of him being afraid of being interrogated.
The fat and ugly old Daoist priest sat on the meditation cushion. He did not kneel or get hung up. The six jade pillars of the Lingxiao Hall around him emitted light and completely suppressed Ju Liusun’s essence soul and Dao Body.
In front of Ju Liusun, there were a few figures. They were all kind-looking.
General Dongmu asked, “I’m afraid of Fellow Daoist Ju Liusun. Don’t you want to speak? It’s not a solution to be in a deadlock.”
His tone was polite.
All kinds of details indicated that Ju Liusun did not encounter much trouble in the Heavenly Courts. Although the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the surroundings were ferocious, Ju Liusun was covered in old injuries from the Heart-Piercing Lock.
Just as the Immortal of the Jade Void Palace was wondering why the Jade Emperor had come here personally this time, Ju Liusun in the image sighed…
‘It was the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School who asked me to do that.’
The scene stopped.
The immortals of Chan School frowned and tried to analyze the impact of the matter. Then, as if they were angered, they caused a huge commotion!
“Where’s Deputy Sect Master Randeng? Where’s the Deputy Sect Master!?!”
“Ju Liusun is really cool! He doesn’t want to think about it! Ah! Forget it!”
“What should we do? Ju Liusun is at fault in the first place. Now, Teacher Randeng is involved… Could it be that Teacher Randeng is going to be captured and interrogated in the Heavenly Courts?”
Perfected Taiyi and Perfected Yu Ding looked at each other from behind the crowd. The former pursed his lips and the latter shook his head. The two fellow disciples did not say anything and just stood there to make up the numbers.
The weakness of Chan School could be summarized into four words—too shameless.
Normally, he would secretly scold and point at Randeng. He even wished that he could blow out the coffin lamp with a mouthful of immortal Qi. At that moment, he still had to stand up and try to protect the reputation of Chan School.
On careful thought, what could Deputy Sect Master Randeng, an ancient mighty figure, not do?
Plotting against the small generals of the Heavenly Courts was a basic operation. There was no need to make a fuss.
*Coughs*
Li Changshou stood in front of the carriage and cleared his throat. He focused his gaze on himself.
Then, he cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor and said warmly, “Today, the Jade Emperor came personally because he knows that this matter is very troublesome. Its nature is extremely bad. It will cause a certain impact on Chan School. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, His Majesty has already arrived. Could it be that the Heavenly Courts will deliberately frame Chan School for Ju Liusun? I have always respected Chan and Jie School. I admit that I do have an old grudge with Randeng. However, this is official business. I don’t have any personal feelings. The Jade Emperor had always been polite to the Dao Sect. Where is Deputy Sect Master Randeng? Let’s not talk about whether he is here to take him today. If the Jade Emperor is here, why isn’t he here to pay his respects?”
The immortals of Chan School looked at each other and wisely looked at Guang Chengzi.
Daoist Ci Hang asked softly, “Eldest Senior Brother, how should we deal with this matter?”
Guang Chengzi frowned and pondered. He looked at the Shadow-Retaining Ball in his hand and looked up at Li Changshou. He seemed to have something to say.
The Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School seemed to be in a dilemma.
In Li Changshou’s heart, he had already given Guang Chengzi a simple choice.
If Guang Chengzi said something similar to “please allow me to ask my teacher”, it would prove that Guang Chengzi’s “extremely shrewd” evaluation was not true.
If Guang Chengzi said that Daoist Randeng was the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, it would prove that Guang Chengzi was using the situation to plot against Randeng.
As long as Guang Chengzi said, “Could it be that the Heavenly Courts are so easily determined that this matter is related to Deputy Sect Master Randeng?” That would prove…
The level that Guang Chengzi was standing on was higher than he had expected.
Perfected Huang Long reminded, “Eldest Senior Brother, say something.”
Guang Chengzi sighed and bowed to the Jade Emperor. His eyes were filled with helplessness and his expression was a little bleak. He seemed to have made a difficult decision in a short period of time. He took two steps forward and said slowly, “Uncle-Master, Changgeng. I know about this matter. The Heavenly Courts are extremely angry. However, Randeng is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. If we don’t protect Randeng, Chan School will probably have to bear the infamy of not being loyal and will not be able to survive in the world. Uncle-Master, please forgive me. Please forgive me. Dare I ask!?!”
Guang Chengzi raised his voice. With the righteousness of the universe, he said firmly “Could it be that the Heavenly Courts wants to convict the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School just because of what Ju Liusun said?” Aren’t you looking down on Chan School!?!”
“Guang Chengzi.” Sword light seemed to surge in the Jade Emperor’s eyes. “Do you mean that I can’t take away your Deputy Sect Master of Chan School and ask him to go back and cooperate with the interrogation?”
Guang Chengzi released his clenched fists and took a deep breath. He looked at the Jade Emperor’s carriage.
“Please investigate this matter in detail and produce convincing evidence!”
“Good! How bold!”
The Jade Emperor’s figure suddenly soared into the sky. He stood in the sky and attracted countless purple lightning bolts. His white robe trembled slightly and quickly turned golden.
However, in the blink of an eye, the Jade Emperor was dressed in the Heavenly Emperor’s golden robe and a golden tassel crown. He was surrounded by the shadows of the Ancestral Dragon.
In an instant!
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in an area of 5,000 kilometers. The world was filled with the aura of the Supreme Emperor. Countless ferocious beast phantoms appeared in the Heavenly Dao. The silver armor of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were dyed golden!
The Jade Emperor looked down at Guang Chengzi. At that moment, he did not say anything to Guang Chengzi. Instead, he looked straight at the three friends’ courtyard.
He slowly spoke. His voice pierced through the world as divine light flickered around him.
There were no Dharma spells or any mystical abilities surrounding him. At that moment, the Jade Emperor’s figure appeared so majestic. He stood in the world and the world respected his orders!
“Senior Brother Primordial Beginning, I came personally because I did not want Chan School to be difficult. I have given Senior Brother enough respect. Where is the dignity of the Heavenly Courts?”
“Ah…”
A soft sigh came from the Three Friends Courtyard. A cloud rose and a middle-aged Daoist stood with his hands behind his back.
Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning!
The Qi Refinement cultivators of the Chan School turned around and knelt in front of the Saint. Guang Chengzi and the other eldest disciples were no exception.
When Li Changshou saw that, he hesitated slightly. However, he lowered his head and bowed. At that moment, he was in the Deity Position and could not kneel easily.
When the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals faced the might of the Saints, they instinctively wanted to kneel and kowtow. However, the golden light on their bodies seemed to be telling them that they did not have to kneel and could not kneel. At that moment, they represented the Heavenly Courts and the Heavenly Dao.
Zhao Gongming and the others were more unlucky.
He rushed over from Mount Emei at full speed and did not say anything. As soon as he arrived, he encountered the Jade Emperor and the Saint. He could only follow the rules of Jie School and kneel on the cloud to pay his respects to Uncle-Master.
There was no choice. The Grandmaster of Heaven was the youngest and had to listen to his two brothers.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning looked around and smiled warmly at Li Changgeng. Then, he looked at the Jade Emperor from afar and sighed.
“Thank you, Junior Brother. I’m also conflicted about this matter and did not meet you in time. This matter concerns the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School and the disciple that I mistrust. I can’t bear to do it. However, the prosperity of the Heavenly Courts is a must for the operation of the Heavenly Dao and the continuation of living beings. I will not increase the resistance of the Heavenly Courts. Randeng.”
In the small courtyard of the Three Friends, the thin old Daoist priest rode a cloud and stood on the cloud. He bowed to the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and did not say a word. He turned around and flew towards the Nine Dragons Carriage.
Li Changshou gestured. A few Heavenly Generals in the Golden Immortal realm walked forward and activated the power of the Heavenly Dao. When Randeng flew closer, they surrounded him.
They did not use any forceful methods. Randeng sealed his essence soul and sat quietly. He was very cooperative.
If he did not cooperate, he would be going against the Saint’s decree.
The Jade Emperor’s expression softened slightly. The golden light around him retracted into his body. The image of the Ancestral Dragon disappeared and he returned to his white clothes.
The nominal Supreme Martial Artist of the Three Realms smiled faintly and said, “The matter of the Heavenly Courts’ generals has disturbed Senior Brother’s cultivation. This matter is also due to the Heavenly Courts’ oversight. Minister Changgeng?”
Li Changshou immediately walked forward and lowered his head. “I’m here.”
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “In a while, you have to be fair and reasonable when dealing with Randeng and Ju Liusun. You have to consider Chan School’s contribution to stabilizing the world and Senior Brother Primordial Beginning’s pride. I have to give the Heavenly Courts an explanation and prevent people from criticizing Chan School.”
Li Changshou smiled bitterly. He looked troubled, but he still lowered his head and accepted the order.
He could only swallow the script that he had written.
“Yes.”
The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and cupped his hands at the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning. He turned around and walked towards the Nine Dragons Carriage.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning nodded with a smile. His figure dissipated with the wind, leaving behind wisps of mysterious Dao runes that circulated in the world.
At that moment, Li Changshou looked at Guang Chengzi. Coincidentally, Guang Chengzi also looked at Li Changshou.
In an instant, their gazes met. It was as if they had been old friends for many years. Both of them had a tacit understanding.
At that moment, Li Changshou was completely convinced that Guang Chengzi had deliberately sealed all the paths when he captured Guan Chengzi. He had deliberately brought out the Dao Sect’s agreement to not fight.
It for the sake of destroying the battle agreement and let the relationship between the Heavenly Courts and Jie School be confirmed. Then, Chan School and the Western Sect would join forces openly.
When Li Changshou had considered various problems previously, he had actually neglected one thing. That was Chan School’s request.
Chan School was indeed under a lot of pressure. They could not compete with Jie School in terms of strength. As the main Calamity, he had become Dao companions with the eldest disciple of Jie School and had many friends in Jie School.
However, he had already understood this on the way back to the Heavenly Courts. When he was discussing this with Quan Dong and Bai Ze in the Great White Palace, he deliberately paced back and forth to show his impatience.
That was just to express it to the Heavenly Dao and send some misinformation. It would be best if the Dao Ancestor felt that his “stability” was nothing much.
Li Changshou had long figured out the key to breaking the situation today. It was the Jade Emperor.
When General Dongmu was interrogating Ju Liusun, he had only secretly guided Bai Ze to give such a suggestion.
The Jade Emperor came personally and bypassed Guang Chengzi. He did not give Guang Chengzi a chance to talk about the matter without a battle. He directly negotiated with the Saint and caused Guang Chengzi’s plan to fail.
“Life is like a show. It depends on acting.”
However, Li Changshou had a question in his heart that he could not answer.
In the end, it was Randeng who schemed first. After Guang Chengzi discovered it, he took the opportunity to push the boat and wait for him to come.
It was Guang Chengzi who had instructed Randeng and even Ju Liusun.
If it was the latter, the Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School would really be an old silver…
The two of them looked at each other for a while. Guang Chengzi sighed and smiled helplessly.
Li Changshou bowed and turned to leave.
Buzz…
Li Changshou’s heart trembled. He subconsciously closed his eyes. The Grand Pure Dao runes lingered in his Spirit Platform, revealing a scene.
It was a scene of Li Changshou asking his teacher to help him deduce before he left the Grand Pure One Temple.
In the Waterfall Pavilion behind the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi held a jade scissors and trimmed the branches in front of him. However, his eyes were filled with contemplation.
After a while, a shadow appeared behind him. It was a short and plump old Daoist priest.
Ju Liusun.
“The Deputy Commander of the Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang, is Junior Brother Changgeng’s confidant. He has a bad reputation. He can make some articles.”
“Yes, Eldest Senior Brother.”
At that moment, Daoist Huang Long and Guang Chengzi’s conversation drifted over from behind.
Huang Long asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, what should we do? This Deputy Sect Master is really… unexpected for the Jade Emperor to personally come and get him.”
“Don’t spout nonsense.”
Guang Chengzi frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Deputy Sect Master Randeng is just troubled by the calamity. Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, return to the hall and discuss how to save Deputy Sect Master Randeng and Junior Brother Ju Liusun
I’ll go and pay my respects to Teacher.”
The disciples of Chan School agreed softly. They looked at Guang Chengzi with respect.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Indeed, none of the Eldest Senior Brothers of the three sects were simple. They had played the Seamless Dao beautifully.
However, was he that unhappy?
Li Changshou turned to look at Guang Chengzi and pretended to be enlightened. He turned around and looked at the Nine Dragons Carriage that was about to rise into the sky. He hurriedly shouted, “Your Majesty! I suddenly had an idea! Can you invite the three disciples of the Saints from the Chan School and Jie School to observe the entire process while the Heavenly Courts investigate the case? This will show that the Heavenly Courts’ condemnation is publicly transparent and impartial!”
“Yes!”
The Jade Emperor’s chuckle sounded from the carriage. “Minister, you can make the decision. If you need me to appear, just say it.”
It was quite interesting to insult a Saint.
