Chapter 276 Handsome, Who Are You?
The Jade Emperor sat down in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and transformed into an immortal-god.
The origin of the Sea God’s memorial was the hatred of the evil demons of the four seas. It was the Western Sect’s fault for being too arrogant and provoking the gods time and time again.
Changgeng’s plan was stable. He wanted to use the abandoned pawns to repay the heavens!
Although they were all experts at using incarnations, Li Changshou could not bring himself to give his own incarnation a title.
At a large segregation venue in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Heavenly General Hua Ritian was clad in a golden chain mail. He was dressed in a snow-white cloak and a golden helmet. He held a sword at his waist with his left hand and strode over with General Dongmu.
In front of the platform, under Li Changshou’s gaze, Hua Ritian’s expression was solemn.
He knelt on one knee and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!” The Jade Emperor sat on the high platform. Golden light shone on his white robe. He held the Heavenly Emperor Seal and said, “I hereby confer you the title of Demon-Buster Marshal. Together with the Sea God, you will lead 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers to slay and annihilate the demons of the four seas!”
Hua Ritian said firmly, “I have received your orders!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The conversation between the incarnation and the main body could actually be that expressive emotional and. The Jade Emperor should have played with him often.
It was the daily routine of the boring Heavenly Emperor.
Before the Jade Emperor personally appointed the Jade Emperor as the marshal, Li Changshou secretly reminded General Dongmu to take the initiative and be a military governor.
The Jade Emperor’s heart may be enthusiastic but he could not really let the Jade Emperor’s incarnation charge into the battle. If word got out, wouldn’t the Heavenly Courts be laughed at by the various big shots?
General Dongmu was originally a little hesitant. He felt that it was meaningless for him to be a military governor. However, considering that the Sea God would never cheat him, General Dongmu took the initiative to step forward and ask for permission to supervise the army.
The Jade Emperor agreed without hesitation. He appointed General Dongmu as the Battle Marshal of the Heavenly Courts.
Then, Hua Ritian, General Dongmu, and Li Changshou received the decree and thanked him. They left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment to discuss the battle. General Dongmu looked at Hua Ritian’s back and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He was about to show Hua Ritian his might.
Fortunately, Li Changshou’s voice sounded in General Dongmu’s heart.
“Take it slow and think about it carefully, General Dongmu.”
General Dongmu frowned and pondered. Soon, he thought of something.
Could it be that His Majesty is testing me to see if I have the desire to compete for power?
General Dongmu immediately became alert and revealed a warm smile. He rushed forward and carefully reminded Hua Ritian about the expedition.
At that moment, there were not many Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Courts who had actually led troops to battle. At the very least, General Dongmu had commanded the battle to support the Dragon Palace.
Li Changshou chuckled when he saw that.
Unlike Elder Moon, General Dongmu’s immortal career had clearly increased his vitality by a little bit.
Due to the incomplete Deity Position, the Heavenly Courts were extremely slow in condensing the decree. However, the deployment of troops was very efficient. Three days later, they could mobilize 100,000 elite Heavenly Soldiers.
If he did not have to train and practice the battle formation of the Immortal Bean Soldiers, he could have gone out in a few hours.
Although Li Changshou had tried his best to slack off… Ahem, although he tried his best to give up the credit, he realized that he still had multiple roles after everything was settled.
He had to manage logistics, coordination, and provide some small battle tactics. He also had to comfort a certain old god’s fragile and sensitive old heart.
Apart from that, Li Changshou had to prepare another batch of paper effigies and 100,000 Immortal Bean Soldiers as reinforcements to salvage the situation.
After thinking about it, it was better to be a general.
In the Hall of Enlightenment, General Dongmu and Hua Ritian gathered more than ten Heavenly Generals and began to discuss the specific deployment of troops.
Li Changshou said, “I’ll go and contact the dragon race first to confirm the day of the troops.” Hua Ritian also acted like the mighty general he was. He cupped his hands and smiled. “Thank you for your hard work, Sea God!”
“It’s my duty, it’s my duty.”
Li Changshou smiled and agreed. He secretly sized up the Jade Emperor’s incarnation. The Jade Emperor was clearly in high spirits today. The eyes of the incarnation were shining brightly… I wonder how long the Jade Emperor’s incarnation will exist in the Heavenly Courts.
After controlling the paper effigy to make it return to the Sea God Residence in the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou did not rest for a moment. He immediately sent a paper effigy to the East Ocean Dragon Palace to discuss the matter of the dragon race deploying their troops. Li Changshou’s plan was a win-win for the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race.
The gathering places of the deep-sea demons were deep in the South Ocean and deep in the West Ocean respectively. Most of them were demons with negative karma.
The dragon race still had a few old scores to settle with the deep-sea demons.
Previously, the dragon race did not have the time to make a move. The Four Seas’ rebels kept causing trouble.
Secondly, if he were to rashly attack, it would be very easy for him to damage the dragon race’s already weak destiny. It would easily cause more trouble.
Therefore, most of the time, the dragon race would not attack unless it was necessary. Today, the Heavenly Courts took the initiative to invite the dragon race to send troops to help. Not only did the dragon race not have to worry about damaging their destiny, but they could also use it to improve their destiny. If such a good thing happened a hundred times, the dragon race would definitely receive it a hundred times!
After Li Changshou’s paper effigy arrived at the Dragon Palace, the dragons were moved and they shed tears of gratitude.
Fortunately, the dragon race already knew that the Sea God did not like to enjoy himself. He did not like lusting over women. Apart from taking some treasures and precious materials for paving the ground from the dragon race, he did not have any desires!
Therefore, when Li Changshou and the Dragon King of the East Ocean discussed the details of the deployment of the dragon race’s troops… Ao Yi was in the side hall next door. He helped his Brother Sect Master put away one batch of treasure chests after another.
The little dragon’s smile was so brilliant and filled with satisfaction.
The dragon race’s enthusiasm made Li Changshou feel a little embarrassed… for not accepting it.
In less than an hour, Li Changshou and the Dragon King had finalized the details.
On the dragon race’s side, Ao Yi would be the commander-in-chief of the dragon race’s army. The two elders of the dragon race would be the deputy commanders. They would deploy 300 experts of the dragon race, 30,000 Immortal Flood Dragon troops, and 180,000 shrimp soldiers and crab generals. They would also be in charge of investigating and finding the enemies.
The number of troops was decided by Li Changshou and the Dragon King after careful consideration. He could not do too much, and he could not steal the limelight or make the dragon race appear insincere. Li Changshou pondered for a while and hinted to the Dragon King, “This time, the Heavenly Courts’ marshal is not to be trifled with. The dragon soldiers must not offend this person. We must follow orders and obey the orders of the Heavenly Courts’ marshal.” “Of course.” The Dragon King stroked his beard and nodded. He naturally understood who the general was.
The last time the Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Hua Ritian, was at Ao Yi’s wedding, the Dragon King of the East Ocean had recognized him.
The Dragon King asked with a smile, “He… actually values this matter so much?”
“I can’t say that he finds it especially important. After all, the Heavenly Courts are taking the initiative to deploy troops against the outside world. It’s different from the last time they helped the dragon race.”
Li Changshou replied with a smile and suppressed the urge to say the words “His Majesty is actually just too free” in his heart.
Li Changshou continued, “Dragon King, you still have to pay attention when you attack the deep-sea demons this time. You can’t let the news get leaked.”
“Sea God, do you have a brilliant plan?”
“We can arrange for a group of Sea Clan rebels to flee to the location of the deep-sea demons. On the surface, the dragon race will send troops to chase after them. At that time, we can turn the situation around and destroy the Sea Clan demons.”
“Alright.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean nodded with a smile. “We’ll follow the Sea God’s plan.”
He was surprisingly easy to convince.
After making an agreement with the Dragon Palace to send troops three days later, Li Changshou ordered Ao Yi to rush to the Heavenly Courts first. He would represent the dragon race to listen to the orders of the Demon-Buster Marshal of the Heavenly Courts.
Every step he took had a deeper meaning.
Li Changshou had schemed a little this time and had given the deep-sea demons a crystal coffin.
This was the battle of the Heavenly Courts. Most of the karma was inherited by the Heavenly Courts. The great destiny of the Heavenly Courts could not be shaken by just two demons.
“I just don’t know how the Western Sect will react. This matter should be resolved quickly.”
Li Changshou’s main body muttered and continued to scheme.
To be safe, he arranged for the paper effigy to go out. His main body took the opportunity to sneak back to the Little Qiong Peak.
Although the Immortal Du Sect’s thin and smooth mountain-protecting array formation could be broken with one palm, he felt an indescribable sense of security in the Immortal Sect.
He was probably a little closer to the Saint.
On the second day after the Heavenly Courts and the Dragon Palace secretly deployed their troops, Li Changshou made a few backup plans and got Ao Yi to hand them to General Dongmu.
The Jade Emperor was indirectly going on an imperial expedition. Li Changshou’s paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts would also follow him.
A pair of incarnations that were in the form of officials of the Heavenly Courts would be considered wonderful.
The “small” battle was imminent. Li Changshou actually wanted to draw up more emergency plans to prevent the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race army from falling into the Western Sect’s trap.
However, before he could open up his thought process, Ling’e rushed over and asked him to attend the ceremony on the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou did not dare to delay. His main body appeared and rushed to the Heaven-Breaking Peak with Ling’e.
While he was working hard outside, he had already decided on the matter of Aunt-Master’s reincarnation becoming a disciple.
Exalted Wang Qing had taken in a disciple and gave her the Dao name ‘Jiu Shi’. In order to distinguish Aunt-Master’s reincarnate from Jiu Shi, everyone would usually call her ‘Jiu Yushi’.
Since they had decided on that matter, the reincarnate naturally had to formally become a disciple.
Jiang Lin’er was very busy and she spread the word about the matter.
A few elders and Grand Elders arrived at the Wang Qing Residence. The Sect Leader, who had been in seclusion to recuperate, also came to join in the fun.
The Nine Jiu Immortals arrived together and greeted their new junior sister. Most of them knew about Wan Jiangyu. Jiu Jiu was even more excited. She pulled Jiu Yushi to her side and told everyone that the latter was her junior sister.
Li Changshou and Ling’e had just arrived in front of the Wang Qing Residence on a cloud when Jiu Jiu jumped out with Jiu Yushi. She raised her head, puffed out her chest, and shouted, “Hey! These two juniors, come and greet your Little Aunt-Master!”
Ling’e immediately smiled and bowed.
Li Changshou bowed and greeted seriously, “Disciple Li Changshou greets Aunt-Master.”
Jiu Jiu felt a little guilty for some reason. The young girl, who had just obtained the Dao name, hurriedly walked forward and bowed to Li Changshou. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
Li Changshou smiled and took out three bottles of pills. He said, “Congratulations, Aunt-Master, for becoming a disciple of the sect’s Golden Immortal. Please take care of me in the future. These are pills for curbing with hunger pangs. The mountain is not like the mortal world. Don’t starve yourself.”
At the side, Ling’e smiled and said, “Senior Brother, you still don’t know. Aunt-Master Yushi will cultivate on our Little Qiong Peak. Aunt-Master Jiu will impart the Dao on behalf of her master. She won’t starve Aunt-Master Yushi!”
“Oh?” Li Changshou smiled. In that case, his master would have more chances.
Speaking of which, where did Master go?
Master should be here at such an important moment.
Li Changshou handed the pills over. Yushi blushed and carefully took it from him.
Jiu Jiu, who was at the side, leaned over curiously. She opened a bottle of pills and took a look. Then, she frowned. Spirit… Spirit-Pill-Quality hunger-curbing pill?
Li Changshou smiled and walked into the Wang Qing Residence. After bowing to the seniors in the sect, he went to a corner and stood quietly in it.
Ling’e stayed behind and took action together with Jiu Jiu. She accompanied Jiu Yushi to receive the guests.
After the matter with the dragon race is over, should I deceive some disciples of the Immortal Du Sect into going to the Heavenly Courts?
Li Changshou pondered.
He had long predicted that apart from the main battlefield of the South Continent, the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools should also face a huge calamity. The Immortal Du Sect would not be safe to stay in during the calamity.
If he brought his friends and family to the Heavenly Courts in advance, he could try his best to avoid such a calamity.
Does this count as everyone benefiting from the efforts of a single person?
It should not be counted. He would definitely not arrange for the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect to go to the Sea God and work under me. There are so many empty Deity Positions in the Heavenly Courts… “Changshou, ahem, I’m here.”
Li Changshou suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice beside him. He turned around and could not help but feel his breath rise. He lowered his head and coughed twice.
He saw a silver-haired young man walking towards him from another corner.
He was dressed in a silk blue robe, a pair of black cloth boots, and a golden jade ring on his waist. His face was fair and clean, and his figure was tall and taut. His eyes were bright and energetic, and he could be considered a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
If not for the fact that that person had a wisp of Turbid Immortal aura that Li Changshou was extremely familiar with, he would have really asked, “Handsome, who are you?” It was Qi Yuan, his master, Old Daoist priest Qi Yuan!
Oh my god…
“Master, you!”
“What’s wrong?” Qi Yuan asked nervously. “Is it strange to dress like this?”
“No, no, how could that be?” Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up. “Master, you’re handsome and suave. I knew that from the start. I just can’t get used to it.”
Li Changshou thought about it and reminded his master. “However, Master, although the reincarnate is from the same spirit, she is no longer the same person. It’s better to let nature take its course.”
“I know, I know.” Qi Yuan nodded and stood beside Li Changshou. He smiled and replied via voice transmission, “I’m just dressing up like this today to see her enter the sect again. I won’t live for more than ten thousand years. I don’t dare to think too much about Senior Sister. In this life of Senior Sister’s, I want to stay by her side and protect her. When she becomes an immortal and asks about the Dao, I will no longer have any worries.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and sighed softly in his heart.
Turbid Immortal… Earth Immortal Dao…
“Master,” Li Changshou said via voice transmission. “There’s a mighty figure called the Ancestor of the Earth Immortal. If I have the chance, I’ll pay him a visit and ask him about the cultivation technique of the Earth Immortal. Moreover, if you enter the Heavenly Courts, your lifespan can increase by several times.”
“You don’t have to worry so much.” Qi Yuan sighed softly.” Changshou, I will cultivate hard in the future and become a Perfected Immortal as soon as possible.
“I know that you have already stepped out of the Immortal Du Sect and have a chance of obtaining the Dao Fruit of Longevity. Don’t worry about me. Just take good care of your junior sister.”
As he spoke, Qi Yuan stole a glance at the door. When he saw the shy and beautiful girl, he retracted his gaze and looked at her calmly. “Disciple?”
“I’m here.”
“Thank you.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Master, if you continue to be so polite, I will make arrangements for the expensive reincarnation set meal of the Netherworld to be served in advance!
