In front of the Immortal Du Sect’s gate, immortal light lingered and auspicious clouds filled the sky. A beam of immortal light shone from the sky and landed on Ling’e. Ling’e put her sword on her left hand and stood quietly on the ganoderma-shaped cloud. She allowed the fairies around her to dance and the immortals to congratulate her. However, she looked into the depths of the sky and saw something…
She should be comprehending the sublimation of her life realm.
As Li Changshou thought about that, the paper effigy quietly retreated while the figures rode past him on clouds.
The most important thing now was to bring his main body back to the Little Qiong Peak. It was too dangerous to wander outside with injuries.
Is this the Immortal Realm?
Ling’e stared at the void and the door of the Great Dao in front of her. Her thoughts drifted elsewhere. I’m an immortal now. If I have a child with Senior Brother in the future, will our child also be an immortal…
Senior Brother… Son…
Ah, what nonsense am I thinking about? How embarrassing!
Ling’e’s face turned red, and she let out a moan. A wisp of white smoke appeared above her head and curled up from the immortal light. After her Immortal Ascension, the amount of steam had increased significantly. Right, where’s Senior Brother?
Listening to Grandmaster Jiang Lin’er’s laughter from afar, Ling’e temporarily put away her inner thoughts and turned around to search on the cloud.
Ling’e subconsciously stood on her tiptoes, only to see the figures approaching… She was familiar with some of them while some were strangers to her. She was either close to them or had only met them a few times. They were far less important than the figure that had disappeared.
Stupid Senior Brother…
He did not even congratulate me!
Ling’e pouted, feeling aggrieved. However, she was reminded of her senior brother’s constant reminders before and after the Tribulation Transcendence. She pursed her lips and smiled happily.
Following that, numerous insights surged into her heart… Ling’e’s Dao heart seemed to have an additional spiritual spring. The insights that she had never had before kept gushing out. The Great Dao was bright, and everything was harmonious.
There were some thoughts in Ling’e’s beautiful eyes. She bowed to the many relatives and fellow disciples who were about to fly over. Then, she folded her skirt and sat cross-legged. A rich Dao rune appeared around
her.
At that moment, Ling’e had a question.
What is my Dao? From the moment she started cultivating until today, the answers she obtained from the path she took and the problems she encountered all came from her senior brother.
Even the principles that her master had taught at the beginning had been corrected by her senior brother later on. Is my Dao imitating Senior Brother’s Dao?
Not entirely. Senior Brother once said that the Great Dao is born naturally. It does not move according to one’s heart.
Dao comes from the heart, not from the world. The rationale is to do the right thing. Every living being has their own Dao. The Dao is born from oneself. The guidance and insights that Senior Brother had given me were only to make the process of comprehending the Great Dao and condensing my own Dao as simple as possible.
Now, after pushing open the mysterious door, the Dao mark was right in front of her.
Ling’e’s mind was calm. She accepted, experienced, and felt everything. As she recalled her senior brother’s figure, she gradually sank into the Great Dao…
Behind Ling’e, the colorful immortal light condensed into a book. The book slowly turned over a page and shone brightly. The flowers of the sky fell gently, and the clouds drifted.
“Don’t go over. Ling’e is ascending. Don’t disturb her.”
Jiang Lin’er transmitted her voice to various places. The phenomenon around Ling’e made the immortals from the Immortal Du Sect stop as they dared not move forward… Sect Leader Ji Wuyou personally set up a layer of immortal power barrier and sent Ling’e back to the Immortal Du Sect and to the Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou, who had already picked up his main body, set off from the Little Qiong Peak. He carefully moved Ling’e, who had fallen into the Dao Enlightenment realm, back to the straw hut by the lake. He activated layers of restrictions to let her cultivate in peace. The Nine Heavenly Tribulations were no small matter.
The entire sect was completely alarmed. Many Peak Leaders and elders brought their proud disciples to the Little Qiong Peak to congratulate her.
Li Changshou followed behind his master, Qi Yuan. His master, Qi Yuan, followed behind his grandmaster, Jiang Lin’er, and kept welcoming and sending the guests off. It was rare for the Little Qiong Peak to be so lively…
However, Li Changshou’s attention was not focused on that. He was multitasking. Apart from healing himself, he also placed a portion of his attention on a Golden Immortal realm paper effigy. He secretly stared at the demon couple. Because of that, Li Changshou’s doubts and shock increased.
Who is this leopard demon?
Perhaps it was because Li Changshou had been punished by the Heavenly Punishment many times and was now the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, he was especially sensitive to special Dao runes related to the Heavenly Dao. In particular, he had a close relationship with a friendly fellow Daoist whose surname was Hua. He often sensed the hidden power of the Heavenly Dao’s protection from that fellow Daoist… When Li Changshou first saw the black leopard, he only felt that it was inexplicably familiar. However, after secretly following it for a while, Li Changshou was shocked! He could sense a wisp of the protection of the Heavenly Dao from the black leopard! Black-fur leopard spirit…
It is protected by the Heavenly Dao…
Could it be that I accidentally discovered that extraordinary one who’s driven about the tribulation?
However, if this is Eunuch Shen, the ‘Son of Tribulation’ of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, why would he appear here with a female demon and run around in the fields?
Where did that sense of familiarity come from?
What should I do…
Li Changshou could not help but think carefully. He had already jumped out of the God-Conferment Tribulation. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation had nothing to do with him. Even if the black leopard was really Shen Gongbao, he did not need to plot against
it.
There was nothing to plot against either. It was better for him to avoid such a huge karma.
I’ll be steady, take it easy and pretend that I did not see the black leopard.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy stopped using Earth Escape underground. He used his immortal senses to take a few more glances at the black leopard before turning around to leave.
Suddenly, Li Changshou felt like someone was playing a zither in his heart. The Dao was ethereal, and the true meaning of inaction was revealed.
The familiar obscure Dao runes, the familiar voice transmission, the familiar frequency of the trembling of the Great Dao…
Go.
Just one word was condensed in Li Changshou’s heart. Li Changshou was shocked. He emerged from the ground and bowed to the sky. Then, he turned around and chased after the black leopard without hesitation.
The Saint had given another order!
It was the Dao runes of the Saint whom he had not seen for a long time, the orders of the Saint that he had been waiting for for a long time! Finally, Li Changshou confirmed that the Grand Pure One was paying attention to him, the Little Daoist Master. His safety factor soared!
However, speaking of which, the Saint had only given him the word ‘go’. What did it mean? Li Changshou comprehended it carefully and quickly gained something. The Saint should be asking me to do what I wanted to do previously. Or, he should be telling me to follow behind the black leopard and help it survive some disasters… What did I want to do previously?
I wanted to confirm the true identity of the black leopard.
However, the Saint had now personally given the order to verify the black leopard’s identity. That fellow must be Shen Bao, who had racked his brains and put in a lot of effort in order to have more true experts in the Dao Sect in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation of the Heavenly Courts! After thinking about it, Li Changshou carefully pondered for a few hours. Finally, he decided to follow the instructions given by the word “go” and complete the few things that he wanted to do after discovering that the black leopard was protected by the Heavenly Dao… It was already late at night. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. There was a thin layer of fog. Li Changshou deduced the path that the demonic couple would choose. The Golden Immortal realm paper effigy took the lead and left behind an old paper effigy along the way. When the black leopard carried the young girl to that place, Li Changshou’s paper effigy transformed into a slightly plump old man and walked out of a huge tree. He carried the dust and appeared in the black leopard’s vision. He smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, please wait.” That was the first thing! He shouted at Shen Gongbao, “Fellow Daoist, please wait!”
The black leopard hurriedly stopped running and almost shook his wife off his back.
The demon couple looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The young girl jumped down from the black leopard’s back gracefully. She held a pair of daggers in her hands and her face turned cold.
The black leopard stood up from the ground and transformed into a middle-aged man. He blocked the young girl behind him and looked at Li Changshou warily. At that moment, Li Changshou’s paper effigy rode a cloud forward. He smiled and shook the dust off his face.
“Fellow Daoists, why are you here? Where are you going?”
The couple looked at each other in shock and apprehension.
This old man with an unfathomable cultivation… won’t kill us? “Fellow… Fellow Daoist.” The black leopard cupped his hands and said, “The two of us are only passing by this place. We have not harmed anyone. We are not greedy for treasures. We just want to go to the south… to visit our relatives.” Visit relatives?
Li Changshou squinted and chuckled. He asked again, “Then, where did you come from? Do you have a name?” “We are all wild fairies who have taken human form.” The black leopard looked at his wife with a gentle gaze. “I’m Ah Bao. Her name is Miao Miao. Senior, can you let us go this time? We are really not going to go to the South Continent to harm people. We just want to go there to visit our relatives.” The demoness held onto the black leopard’s arm and leaned against him as if no one was around.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Shen Gongbao is actually showing off his loving relationship in front of me?!
Ah Bao…
Is this really the Saint’s pawn that will stir up the Three Sects in the future?
Why does the Saint want me to meet him?
No matter what, I should form a good relationship with him first.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t be nervous. There is no negative karma on the two of you. I don’t have the intention to kill demons. The reason why I appeared to meet you is because I felt that I had seen you somewhere before. I felt a sense of familiarity. Come, take this.”
As he spoke, Li Changshou took out two storage Dharma treasures. There were two middle-grade immortal treasures and some Spirit Stones in them. He used his immortal power to push them to the couple.
“Well…”
The couple looked at each other. They then looked at the Dharma treasure that had floated in front of them and did not know if they should take it. “Husband.” The water demon, Miao Miao, gently pulled the black leopard’s arm. “That person is gone.” The black leopard looked up and saw that there was no one in front. After hesitating for a while, the Black Panther Spirit picked up two bracelets. When it saw the treasures and Spirit Stones inside, it was excited.
“Milady, we have Dharma treasures to use!”
“Yes, is this also the good karma of your previous life?” Of his previous life?
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up as he hid in the dark. He quickly captured the keyword. “I can’t remember that. I can only remember a little bit of my previous life’s memories.” The black leopard sighed softly. His eyes were filled with emotions.
“However, this senior who’s an expert, treated me so well and said that I looked familiar to him… Ah, I won’t say anymore. I wish him a good life!” “Husband!”
The water demon, Miao Miao, quickly covered the black panther’s mouth and said anxiously, “You just!” The black leopard was stunned. Only then did he realize that he had slapped himself.
“My silly mouth! Why do I keep forgetting that!?!”
Underground, a question mark slowly appeared on Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s forehead.
What is going on?
At that moment, Li Changshou’s main body, which was recuperating in the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak, spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the immortal power that had suddenly gone astray in shock.
Why did I suddenly vomit blood? How many years had it been? He was a disciple of Ren School who was stable, straight to the core. He had never made any mistakes when he was circulating the Qi. He was already a Golden Immortal. Why did such a superficial problem suddenly appear?! Then, Li Changshou’s paper effigy heard the demoness’s reprimand…
“Husband, you can’t say that easily! You said that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me. On the second day, a demoness visited you and said that she was your old lover. You said that we would definitely be safe and sound. However, three days later, a great demon came to our door and forcefully occupied our Cave Abode… Ah, you might as well curse that senior just now.” Black Panther sighed. “Madam, the mystical ability of my mouth will be ineffective if it’s used deliberately. It can only be used unintentionally.”
Li Changshou roughly understood something after hearing that.
He was indeed the son of the Great Tribulation.
The sentence “Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment” was really not something that could be used by anyone just by saying it casually. Only the black leopard could use it… However, Li Changshou did not believe him completely. He immediately began a few “experiments”.
He directed two small scenes in front.
The first scene was a battle between two human Qi Refinement cultivators. Both sides were evenly matched, but at the final moment, both parties were heavily injured and could not move.
The couple witnessed the scene with their own eyes. However, they only minded their own business and avoided it. They were not greedy and did not want to attack. Instead, they wanted to take a detour and leave.
When Li Changshou saw that, he immediately made the two paper effigies fake their deaths and deliberately revealed some treasures. The black leopard and his wife discussed for a while. Although they were reluctant, they still left quickly… Li Changshou had a good impression of the black leopard because he valued his life. In the second scene, Li Changshou arranged for the paper effigies to transform into a few human Qi Refinement cultivators to attack the black leopard and his wife, and then capture them. The black leopard was so angry that he kept cursing As for the injuries that Li Changshou’s main body had sustained from the Heavenly Punishment, they began to speed up and recover amid the curses!
Is it really useful?
Then, a masked expert who was emitting demonic aura appeared and chased the human cultivators away. He saved the couple and gave them some pills. The black leopard was extremely grateful. Just as he was about to offer his blessings, the water demon reminded him in time and interrupted his “casting”.
This time, Li Changshou keenly captured traces of Dao runes circulating…
The talent of the black leopard was almost confirmed.
The Heavenly Dao Toxic Jinx! It was definitely the Heavenly Dao Toxic Jinx!
Li Changshou thought about it carefully. No matter what, he had to keep a distance from the black leopard. His mystical ability was strange and unpredictable. It was impossible to guard against it. It was best if he did not let the other party know his name. He would hide as far as he could. With the orders of the Saint, Li Changshou did not dare to leave easily. He followed secretly.
The black leopard led the water demon, Miao Miao, to hide in all directions. They passed through the territories of many immortal sects in the East Continent. After half a month, they arrived at their destination.
They arrived in a forest at the border of the South Continent that intersected the East Continent, and the Middle Continent. At that moment, Li Changshou knew that the black panther was there to search for treasures. He was looking for some of the “legacies” left behind in his previous life. The process of searching for treasures was quite smooth. The black leopard found a stone wall in the valley in the middle of the forest. After searching the stone wall, he opened a hidden stone door and entered with the Water Demon Miao Miao…
Li Changshou heard the black leopard shout happily after finding a large number of Spirit Stones and Dharma treasures.
“Milady! We can cultivate peacefully from now on! These Spirit Stones are enough for us to become Heaven Immortals!” However, just as black leopard finished speaking, Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured a few demon experts flying over from the South Continent. They flew back to the valley while chatting and laughing… In the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with his hand. He was impressed.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind. He suddenly thought of something. Perhaps he could really make the leopard speak for him… Slaying demons in the Heavenly Courts.
