The dumbfounded Li Changshou shivered in front of the Saint.
Why did it suddenly work?
The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth kept twitching. He did not say a single word. He only offered incense and kowtowed to the Grandmaster of the Dao Sect…
This Dao rune seems familiar.
Back then, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu had cried while begging for the Dao runes to be bestowed on him, followed by toxic Junior Sister. I had also painstakingly changed his script and barely managed to invite the portrait to manifest.
Yet, now… Is that all?
Li Changshou immediately woke up. He lay on his stomach and sighed.
Finally, the Saint had begun to remember him!
Although the safety of his life did not increase linearly, the support he had was several times greater than before! However, what Li Changshou did not understand was… the fact that he did not hear any instructions via voice transmission or have any insight even though the Dao runes had been circling around him.
A few moments later…
The Dao runes were still around, and the portrait had returned to its usual peace.
The two elders, who had sensed the Dao runes just now, were also a little suspicious but they did not discover anything else.
The two elders looked at the three long incense sticks and developed the same thought in unison.
It should be because the incense offering is different.
After a while… Li Changshou was the only one who could sense that the Dao runes were still around. However, there was nothing unusual about the portrait. The surrounding elders did not pay much attention to it.
After all, Li Changshou had come to offer incense more than once…
Although Li Changshou did not know what was going on and was confused, he still lay there quietly and waited for the next set of instructions from the Saint.
However, Li Changshou was not the only one who was stunned…
Under a familiar old tree in the backyard of the Tushita Palace of the Nine-layered Celestial Palace, the wind gave off a strange odor even though it was not noisy…
It was the two little boys under Grand Pure One, trying to refine Spirit Pills. It seemed that the Pill Furnace was about to disperse again.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who was dressed in a long black robe, was sitting cross-legged on a cushion under a tree. He frowned and kept calculating.
In the image in his heart, a young disciple was kneeling in front of his teacher’s portrait. He did not say a word and simply knelt on the spot.
This situation…
Naturally, he could detect it because his “senses” were stimulated by the Grand Pure One, via a mystical ability that Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not understand.
However, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was puzzled.
After thinking about it, he could only find out that the situation happened in the East Continent’s Immortal Du Sect, which was almost destroyed previously.
He had no idea what the young disciple wanted by kneeling.
Things were very peaceful in the Immortal Du Sect and nothing major happened.
“Something big must have happened since it could alarm Teacher…”
Xuan Du pondered for a while and started to deduce what had happened to that young disciple. In the end…
“Interesting, someone has deceived the Heavenly Secret for him?”
Xuan Du raised his eyebrows. He shook his left hand in thin air, and his fingers moved slowly like ink. The image of a Taiji Painting floated in his palm. He raised his right hand and pointed his sword fingers at the image of the Taiji Painting. Xuan Du closed his eyes and focused.
Soon, Xuan Du felt enlightened.
At that moment, he sensed with his heart that that person was called Li Changshou, a young disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. He was less than 200 years old…
“It’s over?”
Xuan Du was a little stunned. He carefully pondered over the information he had obtained through the Taiji Painting and raised his eyebrows.
He could not even deduce the power of an insignificant disciple using the Taiji Painting. That was too much. Xuan Du deduced for a while. This time, he quickly confirmed that his teacher had helped that disciple conceal something… It seemed that it happened not long ago.
Interesting. How many years has it been since Teacher made a move? Ever since the Great Magi-Demon War, the eight emperors of the human race had returned to the Fire Cloud Cave. The six Saints had stayed in seclusion and did not show themselves.
Now, Teacher actually took the initiative to help a young disciple of a “distant” faction conceal the secrets of the heavens…
What is so important?
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not dare to ask his teacher, for fear that he would be grounded by his teacher. Every time it happened, he would be grounded for ten thousand years and above…
Since the matter revolved around that young disciple, he could just ask him directly.
Xuan Du slowly stood up. His long robe flowed like water, and he felt enlightened…
“The dragon race enters Heaven.” That is the hint from Teacher, the Saint.
Xuan Du immediately understood that the young disciple kneeling below was a key figure in the dragon race’s entrance to heaven!
As for how the dragon race could enter Heaven, why they did so, and the young disciple’s role in that matter was unknown to the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du… Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but frown and mutter, “Teacher, can you relay a message to me directly via voice transmission? By letting me gain enlightenment straightaway, you will make me feel that my Dao is meaningless.”
Then, Xuan Du felt a hint of enlightenment in his heart…
“I’ll definitely do it next time.”
Xuan Du was speechless.
He lowered his head and sighed. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du took a step forward and disappeared from the Tushita Palace.
The nine heavens were misty, and no one knew whenever someone came and went.
This disciple of Ren School took a few steps forward. He had already crossed thousands of mountains and rivers. He turned around and rushed past the five continents…
After a while, Xuan Du appeared above the Immortal Du Sect and stood on the thin and smooth array.
However, no one could see him.
Xuan Du smiled after scanning with his immortal senses.
Putting everything else aside, the system of Dao companions in the sect is not too bad. There are numerous couples in the sect.
If the intensity could increase and they can reproduce more, Ren School would definitely be pleased.
Xuan Du pointed at the Heaven-Breaking Peak and disappeared without alarming anyone.
In Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Hundred Mortal Hall, Li Changshou, who was lying on the ground, felt the Dao runes around him slowly disappear. He first heaved a sigh of relief, but also felt a little lost.
The Saint did not give any instructions… Could it be that he was telling me to be brave and settle the matter regarding the South Ocean Sea God Sect because I have a Saint to back me up? Li Changshou quickly dismissed his delusional thoughts. The Immortal Du Sect was originally created by the Saint’s in-name disciple. Even his Sect Leader would not receive such treatment from the Saint…
The “chicken thigh” was especially famous for being quiet and not minding anyone’s business.
Kneel for a while more?
Let’s kneel for a while more.
Just as he was thinking about that, a voice sounded in his ears.
“Come to the southwest of the Immortal Du Sect to meet me.”
Huh?
Li Changshou frowned. He scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and immediately retracted them.
There was nothing.
He stood up and looked at the Saint’s portrait. There was no fluctuation of Dao runes. Although he was puzzled, he decided to continue praying there. If the voice transmission came from an expert in Ren School, why did he not appear in the Immortal Du Sect? That was a problem.
A few moments later…
The voice transmission sounded again.
“Did you not hear the voice transmission just now? I’m the Great Daoist Master of Ren School. There must be a problem that you’ve encountered since you’ve come here to pay your respects to my portrait. I’ll come over to take a look.”
Li Changshou was shocked, but he became suspicious.
Is there such a good thing?
He had only burned three incense sticks in front of the Saint’s portrait. He did not even say a word and yet he had already alarmed the Saint who got his only disciple to appear. Although it might be true, no matter how he looked at it…
“I, Xuandu, hit Spirit Stones” was more believable!
Li Changshou muttered, “How do you prove your identity, Senior?”
“Huh?”
Grandmaster Xuan Du was stunned. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he had started cultivating.
“How can I prove that I am me?”
This little disciple is really interesting.
Xuan Du pondered for a while and sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou. This time, he directly said a few words about the Inaction Sutra.
With a change of tone, Xuan Du narrated a few more words to Li Changshou, which were related to the Inaction Sutra, but they were more profound than the Inaction Sutra.
Seeing that Li Changshou still had a suspicious look in his eyes, the Grandmaster Xuan Du did not know whether to laugh or cry. He revealed a wisp of his own Dao runes to Li Changshou…
The Great Daoist Master had no choice but to send him another voice transmission.
“Dragons are entering Heaven.”
After hearing that, Li Changshou immediately understood something and found the logic.
Actually, Li Changshou had confirmed that the other party was an existence with a terrifying cultivation level based on this wisp of Dao runes…
If they wanted to attack him, the Immortal Du Sect would probably be annihilated from the East Continent.
In front of such a person, he did not have any room to maneuver.
Finally, Li Changshou stood up in front of the Saint’s portrait.
His expression remained the same. He went to look for an elder whom he was close to and asked for the jade token to leave the sect. Then, he turned around and left the hall.
After leaving the Hundred Mortal Hall, Li Changshou muttered, “Senior, should I call my Sect Leader?” “There’s no need for that. You can come. If I wanted to harm you, why would I tell you so much?”
“Senior, don’t blame me,” Li Changshou muttered. “I was unable to react in time. I’ll rush over to see you now.” After saying that, he rode a cloud towards the mountain gate. He used a jade tablet to successfully leave the mountain gate. He took the southwest path and slowly flew hundreds of kilometers.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not continue to urge him.
Li Changshou looked at the Sensing Stone before landing in a forest. He used Earth Escape and quickly traversed a thousand kilometers.
Should I use the paper effigy to test it first?
Li Changshou thought about it and quickly dismissed that thought.
Regardless of whether he was the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du or not, he could not play tricks on him…
He decided to use sincerity to exchange for opportunities.
He used his immortal senses to search the place, but he could not find anyone.
However, when Li Changshou jumped out of the soil and rode a cloud to a place that was 1500 kilometers away, he sensed something. He looked down and saw a young Daoist in a black Daoist robe in a valley.
This person was sitting beside the stream with his sleeves rolled up. There was a fire in front of him. He was roasting some fish, and he looked relaxed.
At that moment, Li Changshou’s heart calmed down. He slowly descended on the cloud and bowed deeply.
“I’m Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. Greetings, Senior!”
Master Xuandu shook his head and sighed. He held the grilled fish and said, “I’ve been cultivating for quite some time. I’ve never seen such a long-winded disciple like you… Hmm?”
Master Xuandu seemed to have suddenly realized something. He turned to look at Li Changshou and laughed. “My method to hide my cultivation is rather brilliant. If I do not take a closer look, I will be mistaken. Your cultivation level… Why are you still a young disciple? Why didn’t the Immortal Du Sect give you a position as an Elder?”
Li Changshou muttered to himself and lowered his head.
“It has only been hundreds of years since I’ve undergone the Tribulation Transcendence. I was lucky enough to ascend during the Tribulation Transcendence and obtain such a cultivation technique.
However, before my Tribulation Transcendence, I was just an ordinary disciple in the sect. If I suddenly reveal my cultivation level, I’m afraid that my fellow disciples will see me as an anomaly.
Therefore, I used this method of concealment.
I did not hide it on purpose. I have no ill intentions towards my sect.”
Xuan Du nodded slowly and said, “These are just small matters. Come and sit. The more polite you are, the more I dislike it. We don’t have so many rules in Ren School… However, I now understand why Teacher asked me to come and talk to you. There are people who have ascended, but it is rare for there to be someone like you. You’re a talent.”
Li Changshou raised his head and smiled. Then, he carefully sized up the young Daoist priest in front of him.
The first impression he had was that the latter was ordinary.
Upon closer inspection, he felt that the person in front of him was like a tall mountain, without giving off any sense of oppression. He could not see through him at all.
The Great Daoist Master just sat there casually, holding a tree branch in his hand. There was still a half-cooked grilled fish in his hand too, but it seemed to have merged with nature and resonated with heaven and earth. There was no disharmony.
At that moment, Li Changshou finally confirmed that that person was indeed the second most powerful person in the human race.
Great Daoist Master Xuandu of Xuandu Temple! “What are you waiting for?” “This is the first time I’ve seen an expert like you. I feel like I’m dreaming.”
Li Changshou took a deep breath and took two steps forward. He sat in front of Xuan Du and extended his hand. “I’ll roast it.”
“You’re quite smart.”
“It’s only right for me to serve an elder who has requests.”
Upon hearing that reply, Xuan Du smiled and squinted. He handed over the wood and stretched his back.

Xuan Du seemed to have thought of something and said casually, “By the way, I even damaged your marriage clay figurine beforehand and formed some fate with you. Did you take the Spirit Pill that I asked Fellow Daoist Du Jie to pass to you previously? How did it work?”
“I didn’t take it,” Li Changshou said with a smile. “There’s nothing wrong with my body. I want to leave the Spirit Pill for my master who is practicing the Earth Immortal Dao.”
“Former… Great Daoist Master, may I ask if Turbid Immortals can only cultivate to the Perfected Immortal realm?”
“Yes, a Turbid Immortal is only an Earth Immortal. He can only cultivate to the Perfected Immortal realm.” Xuan Du nodded slowly. “I’m sorry for your loss.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
What a genius at conversations.
“Tell me, what’s the issue that you’ve encountered?” The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du looked at Li Changshou. “Since Teacher asked me to come down to look for you, I will help you get out of your predicament. Also, what connection do you have with the dragon race?”
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Great Daoist Master, do you know about the South Ocean Sea God Sect?” Xuan Du made some calculations with his fingers pinched and said, “I’ve heard recently that the Heavenly Courts are spreading rumors that Little Uncle-Master, the Jade Emperor, admires the Sea God Sect greatly. He wants to recruit the Sea God Sect’s illegitimate god as a righteous god.”
Li Changshou sighed. “I am the Sect Master… of the South Ocean Sea God Sect.” “Oh?” Xuan Du’s eyes lit up. “If you say that, I’m going to be energized! You’re not even 200 years old. How did you become the Sect Master of the South Ocean Sea God Sect? Back then, I had also secretly gotten some people to deal with the sect. It was destroyed in a few hundred years… Ahem! Tell me, what’s going on?”
