Strangely, it was noisy and boisterous in the Tushita Palace today. Under the old tree, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stretched his back and sat up. He was about to lower his head and deduce what had disturbed his cultivation when two images appeared in his mind…
The first scene was a vast ocean.
Changshou’s incarnation?
The Jade Emperor? General Dongmu?
A few question marks appeared on the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s forehead. He stared at the image and observed it carefully…
Then, the Great Daoist Master saw a vortex appear in front of Li Changshou and the others. There was a Six-Winged Golden Cicada in the vortex.
The golden cicada flapped its thin wings and slashed six beams of golden light at Li Changshou’s incarnation. However, it was blocked by the Jade Emperor.
The first scene ended there, followed by the second…
In the wilderness, a mortal was riding a white horse, wearing a kasaya, and a monk’s hat. He was crossing mountains and rivers, traveling slowly from the east to the west.
That person seemed to be unable to endure the heat and was about to faint. However, tens of thousands of rays of golden light surged behind him, and the shadows of a few Great Buddhas stood still…
The clear Dao runes trembled slightly, and the second scene disappeared. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du muttered to himself and could not help but think.
What… does Teacher mean?
The first scene was very clear. According to the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s understanding of his teacher’s mystical abilities, it had already happened.
As for the second scene, other than the young mortal who was riding a white horse and dressed strangely, everything else was very blurry. That was the scene that he had seen during the prediction of the heavenly secrets. His teacher had used a supreme mystical ability to expand it and present it to him.
Teacher’s mystical abilities are becoming more and more unfathomable.
However, what does Teacher want me to do this time?
Xuan Du sat quietly under the old tree and began a long and complicated thought process. In the end, he came to a conclusion. Teacher, are you asking me to integrate this person into Ren School?
Suddenly, he heard a muffled thunder. The familiar Dao runes appeared in the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s heart again. This time, they condensed into two words.
“Try Killing’.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but support his forehead with one hand. He had actually made so many wrong guesses.
It’s really rare that Teacher would let me “try” to see if I could kill this spirit…
Tsk, the karma that this person is implicated with can actually make Teacher have the intention to test him. Although this is not unprecedented, it is indeed a little unbelievable.
It must be related to the lifeline of our sect.
“Forget it. I’ll go and discuss it with Changshou first.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stood up and walked out of the Tushita Palace. He looked in the direction of the Sea God’s Residence and turned around to head to the East Heaven Gate. After taking three to five steps, the Great Daoist Master was already standing above the mountain-protecting array formation of the Immortal Du Sect.
This time, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not ask Li Changshou to go out and meet him. Instead, he had the thought of “seeing what Li Changshou was doing” in his heart. He moved according to his heart and disappeared. Today, Little Qiong Peak welcomed a distinguished guest. The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du hid outside the universe and walked slowly on the Little Qiong Peak with his hands behind his back.
The images in his eyes were filled with faint ripples. It was the Cosmic Barrier, which was also the real world.
Firstly, the Great Daoist Master found a bean field that was enveloped by the array formation. He discovered a paper effigy that was tending to the bean sprouts.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du laughed. Just as he was about to appear and ask Li Changshou why he did not cultivate properly, he realized that the paper effigy’s movements were very stiff. Every move he made was very “standard”, and his eyes did not glow.
The Great Daoist Master immediately understood that Li Changshou’s attention was not there. Then, the Great Daoist Master looked at the chess room nearby and saw three women of different sizes playing with a piece of paper.
The Great Daoist Master could not help but think of the Three Stars and Moon in the Hall of Marriage and Li Changshou’s clay figurine…
Among the three of them, one was one of the Three Stars.
The Great Daoist Master flicked his finger and three wisps of aura flew to the chess room.
Xiong Lingli, Jiang Lin’er, and Jiu Jiu, who were playing Fighting The God, trembled at the same time. They rolled their eyes and collapsed on the table, surrounded by mysterious Dao runes.
They were pulled into their respective dreams and began to comprehend their own Dao. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was not in a hurry. He turned around and strolled casually.
This time, he followed Li Changshou’s aura and arrived at the straw hut by the lake. He discovered the six paper effigies that Li Changshou had hidden there.
Changshou actually cares so much about his master and junior sister’s safety… The Great Daoist Master looked at Ling’e, who was ascending. His eyes lit up.
This time, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du put in more effort. He drew out a pure Grand Pure Dao rune and wrapped it around Lingle’s essence soul. After Ling’e ascended, he could add another wave of enlightenment for her.
After doing that, the Great Daoist Master looked at Qi Yuan, who was in the Turbid Immortal realm and turned to leave.
If it did not work, he would move on to the next one.
The Great Daoist Master strolled around the Little Qiong Peak and saw the Immortal Cat Divination Barrel that had been abandoned for a long time. He went to the stream beside the forest that was designated as a barbecue area.
It could be seen that the days on the peak were carefree and comfortable.
After walking around the entire Little Qiong Peak, the Great Daoist Master slowly walked to Li Changshou’s Pill Chamber.
The heavy array formation that Li Changshou had set up naturally could not capture the figure of the Great Daoist Master outside the universe.
However, when the Great Daoist Master entered the Pill Chamber and was about to appear, he realized that Li Changshou was refining pills…
It was still the paper effigy Where did this fellow hide his main body?
The Great Daoist Master was a little interested. He slowly spread out his powerful immortal senses. This time, he did not spend much effort and found the secret chamber in the Little Qiong Peak.
Even if the Great Daoist Master were to judge, he would find that the design of the secret chamber was very ingenious. It was actually in one of the gaps between dozens of array formations. It was really not easy to attract the attention of others…
One would not be able to find the place easily even with time.
The Great Daoist Master walked slowly from the void and arrived at the secret underground chamber in the blink of an eye.
Li Changshou was writing and drawing behind his desk. He looked rather serious.
What is he writing?
The Great Daoist Master secretly glanced at the paper that Li Changshou had written something on. Every paragraph had the word ‘Ao’ at the beginning. It seemed to be the name list of the experts of the dragon race.
The Great Daoist Master was about to laugh softly and remind Li Changshou that he had arrived. However, his aura was already at the tip of his throat, so he forcefully suppressed it.
Eh?
I didn’t take a closer look just now. Why is this fellow here an incarnation?
The Great Daoist Master could not help but laugh.
Then, he opened his left palm and the image of the Taiji Painting condensed on it. Wisps of faint ripples spread outside the universe, and a breeze blew all over the Little Qiong Peak…
A moment later, the Great Daoist Master walked through the void with his mystical ability and returned to the Pill Chamber that was enveloped by the outer layer of the array formation. He stopped in front of the bookshelf in the corner of the Pill Chamber and stared at a scroll that was placed flat.
The Great Daoist Master placed his hands behind his back and slowly walked forward. He easily saw through the bamboo slip outside the scroll and saw the small “room” that was wrapped in restrictions.
The room was only three inches long and one inch wide. However, it was filled with all kinds of furniture.
On a small bed, there was a Daoist who was the size of an ant. He was lying with his legs crossed, drinking wine and reading an ancient book with relish…
The Great Daoist Master almost laughed out loud.
Thinking about the paper effigies that he had seen along the way, the Great Daoist Master finally appeared and sighed emotionally at the scroll.
“Why are you hiding so obscurely? Are you afraid that the Saint will catch you?”
“Huh?”
The ‘little person’ in the scroll was stunned. Then, he froze on the bed.
The Great Daoist Master used his mystical abilities to check and realized that he was still…
At that moment, the paper effigy, who was standing behind the Great Daoist Master, turned around and looked at the Pill Furnace. He stood up in a flurry. “Great Daoist Master, I’m here! That’s meant for luring the enemy!”
After saying that, the paper effigy took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a jade-colored Spirit Pill. The Spirit Pill exploded and transformed into Li Changshou’s figure.
Li Changshou hurriedly bowed and carefully looked up at the Great Daoist Master who was slowly turning around.
Uh…
There was killing intent!
A moment later, in the valley where Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master first met, the Great Daoist Master stood beside the stream with a smile. He was very happy. Li Changshou placed a hand on the bump on his forehead and roasted the few spiritual fish that he had just picked up from the river. He kept sighing… What kind of spell did the Great Daoist Master use to flick my head to the extent that it still hurts but neither my Dao Body nor essence soul is hurt?
The Great Daoist Master asked leisurely, “Changshou, have you encountered any powerful enemies recently?”
It was as if nothing had happened.
Li Changshou thought about it and thought about the answer before thinking about why the Great Daoist Master had asked that.
If he were to talk about the powerful enemies he had recently encountered, Daoist Lu Ya should be considered one of them, and so was Daoist Randeng
There was still a golden cicada, which could barely be considered one-third…
Li Changshou immediately said in a low voice, “I’ve recently met an old Daoist priest. He has a gourd numinous treasure called the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. That old Daoist priest’s name is Lu Ya. According to my deduction, he should be the remaining Demon Crown Prince of the ancient Demon Court. His flying saber is quite powerful. If he successfully refines it, he will become a very tricky person to deal with.” “Lu Ya?”
The Great Daoist Master pinched his fingers and deduced. Soon, he frowned slightly.
There was a warning from the red hydrangea.
“The Saint has concealed the heavenly secrets for him.” The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and opened his left hand. The Taiji Painting appeared again and he continued to deduce.
Soon, the Great Daoist Master said, “Lu Ya is hiding in the Golden Crow Palace on the Sun. It seemed that the Saint had helped him condense the remnant fate of the demon race and gave him the destiny to revive the demon race. However, this remnant fate is not deep and the destiny was uncertain. It was unlikely that he would end up well. Changshou, I’m not here today for Daoist Lu Ya. Have you seen a Six-Winged Golden Cicada?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “That’s a ferocious beast raised by the Western Sect. I’ve fought him a few times.”
“Take a look.”
The Great Daoist Master flicked his finger and a wisp of Dao runes entered Li Changshou’s forehead. The same scene appeared in Li Changshou’s heart.
With just a glance, Li Changshou recognized what it meant.
Monk Tang Seng, who was riding a white horse, was dressed in a kasaya and embarked on the journey to the west!
Li Changshou even subconsciously added some background music to the scene in his head.
It would be hard to say if the pitch was accurate.
Golden light surged behind Tang Seng. It was the destiny and the merit of the human race.
This scene verified that the Western Sect had used the human race’s destiny and merit to make the Western Sect prosper.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, “Great Daoist Master, what are the instructions given by the Saint?”
The Great Daoist Master said calmly, “He only gave me two words, ‘try killing’.”
Huh?
Li Changshou was really surprised. His first reaction was to think…
This is not the style of Ren School, this is totally not the style of Ren School!
Li Changshou was puzzled.
If the plan of the Saint turning into Buddha was successfully completed after the Great God-Conferment, the Gautama of Buddhism would be the Daoist Duobao of Jie School today…
Could it be that there is a variable in this plan?
Or could it be that Daoist Duobao could not take over the Western Sect and instead got counter-attacked by the two Western Saints?
The relationship was complicated. Li Changshou could not figure it out.
The orders that the Saint had given the Great Daoist Master were for them to try to kill the Golden Cicada and ruin the Western Sect’s destiny in the future.
Li Changshou smiled when he got some inspiration.
The Great Daoist Master asked curiously, “Changshou, why are you laughing?” “The words ‘try killing’ given by the Saint is really mysterious.” Li Changshou lifted the grilled fish and handed it over respectfully. He felt enlightened.
The Saints would also take the initiative to find a way to break the situation!
What the heavenly secrets had presented should be the events that were most likely to happen in the future. If the Saint saw that possibility and was dissatisfied with it, even the Saint of the Grand Pure One would interfere!
In other words… everything was not set in stone.
It was not impossible to change the future! Li Changshou’s Dao heart trembled and he felt enlightened. The issue in his heart that he had been depressed about previously had been gently broken by the word ‘try’!
Li Changshou did not enter an epiphany in front of the Great Daoist Master.
The Saint had already given the order that he and the Great Daoist Master would try to target Jin Chanzi. If they could kill Jin Chanzi, they would be able to change the sutra to a certain extent. That would be a good thing. If he failed, he would retreat in time. There would not be any losses. The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Your eyes seem to be glowing. Do you have an idea?”
“I have an immature idea. Great Daoist Master, please correct me.” “Just say it.”
The Great Daoist Master sat back on the bluestone and grabbed the grilled fish to taste it slowly.
“Yes.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and slowly paced around. He began mentioning a few schemes to kill Jin Chanzi.
Recently, he had a conflict with Jin Chanzi.
Jin Chanzi had attacked Li Changshou’s incarnation that day. He had also been ruthless and wanted to destroy Li Changshou’s incarnation.
Li Changshou had invited the Great Daoist Master to “uphold justice” for him. In turn, he chased after Jin Chanzi. It was reasonable and backed by evidence.
That was enough.
The problem now was that Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not be sure if the Second Saint of the Western Sect knew the “importance” of Jin Chanzi.
“Therefore, I feel that I have to kill this Golden Cicada in the blink of an eye and not give the other party any chance to get help.” “That’s a little troublesome,” said the Great Daoist Master. “The ability of a Saint is to turn the impossible into something possible. No Saint can be underestimated. Moreover, Changshou, you don’t have much confidence in fighting Jin Chanzi. How can you kill him in one blow?”
Li Changshou could not help but ask weakly, “Great Daoist Master… Aren’t I in charge of making plans?”
The Great Daoist Master smiled and squinted. He stretched out his right hand and slowly condensed a small pagoda that was wrapped in the black-yellow aura.
“This time, it’s not as simple as just one wisp of power. Just be at ease.” Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He could not help but ponder for a while and began to think of a solution.
At that moment, his spiritual will trembled slightly. He sensed that Ao Yi had arrived at Anshui City with a large number of dragon troops. Ao Yi came from the West Ocean Dragon Palace. He should be staying in the West Ocean Dragon Palace for a banquet before returning today.
Li Changshou said, “Great Daoist Master, can you bring me to Anshui City? It just so happens that I have a scripture to give to Ao Yi. If I use my main body, I will seem more dignified. We can also consider this matter carefully there.”
“Okay.”
