What… realm is this?
Ling’e’s mind returned from her Dao enlightenment. She carefully sensed the changes in her essence soul and Dao Body.
The first thing that a professional Qi Refinement cultivator had to do after leaving seclusion was to investigate and look inside.
Ling’e looked at herself. His ethereal and light-hearted heart platform was filled with immortal power that was like a stream in a mountain. It was quiet and did not do anything, but it also had a few playful Dao runes… The little essence soul avatar, who was dressed in a fairy dress, was meditating seriously. The various parts of his immortal body were extremely closely connected to his essence soul. That body had already reached the level of being pure, untainted, ethereal, and dreamy. Heaven Immortal realm!
Ling’e’s heart stirred. She had actually reached the Heaven Immortal realm!
This!
There was nothing to be surprised about. After all, her senior brother had been guiding her all the way. That should have been part of his arrangements. Thinking about that, Ling’e felt a little bitter. She felt as if her entire life had been arranged by her senior brother… The lifespan of a Perfected Immortal was not long. The lifespan of a Heaven Immortal could be as long as a “Yuanhui”, which was more than a hundred years. In the Primordial World, there were also two concepts to a “Yuanhui”. According to the laws of the Heavenly Dao, one yuanhui was 129,600 years. Each yuanhui was divided into twelve segments, each being 10,800 years. Logically speaking, each Yuanhai should be the length of the “Primary Order”. However, in most situations, the “Yuanhui” referred to the scale of the “Primary Order”. In other words, even if she could not break through in the future, she could accompany her senior brother for 129,600 years.
‘I wonder if Senior Brother will be annoyed by me after such a long time.’
Ling’e muttered in her heart. Her essence soul looked a little worried. Her immortal senses slowly swept across, and the situation of the entire immortal sect appeared in her mind. With a thought, the spiritual fish in the lake rippled on the surface of the water. It was clear, gentle, comfortable… It was like a feather floating in the sky, like a butterfly wandering among flowers. Her body felt extremely light, as if it was about to fly with the spiritual energy around her. Ling’e’s long eyelashes trembled. She opened her eyes, and the spiritual light that looked like sand from the corners of her eyes dissipated. Her clear eyes rippled slightly… She realized that she was floating three feet above the ground. Hence, she slowly landed. Her soft dress drooped down, and her black hair swayed slightly. He opened his hands and looked down at himself. He felt that he had changed a lot, but he did not seem to have changed much. He inadvertently glanced at his fingertips and realized that the skin of his immortal body was as fair and translucent as jade. He pinched his fingers gently, and they were actually so smooth.
“Wow…”
Ling’e praised softly and could not bear to let go. She poked and pinched her body, and her face turned red. Her immortal senses captured the figure of her senior brother in the straw hut next door. She was instantly overjoyed.
Is Senior Brother guarding the door for me? Uh, no, it seems to be a paper effigy that has stopped moving. “Hmph.” Ling’e pouted. Then, she thought that her senior brother should be busy with something She could only be generous once and continue to forgive him. At that moment, she saw the immortal peaches on the table and the note beside the bed.
Ling’e was about to take the note when she thought of something.
There’s a problem. Ling’e squinted and took out a paper effigy from her sleeve. Then, she retreated to the side of the door and let the paper effigy carefully open the note.
Li Changshou, who was multitasking while toasting the Sea Dragon King with General Dongmu, silently watched Ling’e’s actions. Look at how frightened this child is…
All these years, it has actually been quite arduous for her. Therefore, in the future, I will… be stricter with her. After all, her strength has increased too quickly. Her temperament is still lacking. Soon, Ling’e read the contents of the note and could not help but look at the three peaches… Heavenly Immortal Peach? Eating it can increase one’s cultivation level and immortal foundation, whiten one’s skin, and gather spiritual energy?
Ha, I don’t believe it. She controlled the paper effigy and slowly approached it. Ling’e threw out another dagger and let the paper effigy catch it. She then wanted to poke the immortal peach a few times.
Li Changshou’s helpless voice sounded in time…
“This is really not a test. Eat a peach and continue cultivating. I will come and look for you in six hours. I have something to discuss with you seriously.”
Senior Brother?
Seriously…
Ling’e blinked. Her pretty face was slightly flushed. She tapped her bare feet gently and floated to the table. She picked up a peach and took a small bite, but she could not taste anything. What serious matter is it?
Could it be…
“Ling’e, you’re already a mature junior sister. Tonight, I’ll talk to you about what we should do as Dao companions.”
This!
Ling’e, who was hugging the peach, blushed. White smoke rose from the top of her head. She was dizzy and her eyes were filled with butterflies…
Li Changshou scanned the scene and could not help but chuckle. As expected, the amount of steam had indeed increased
The scene in his heart changed. Li Changshou’s attention returned to the Jade Pool of the Heavenly Courts. At the Immortal Peach Banquet, there was singing and dancing. The female dragons also danced forward. The Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Courts sparred with the dragon sons, and it was quiet and peaceful.
On the other hand, only the six old Daoists from the Western Sect felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. Although there were immortal peaches in front of them, they cared about their pride and did not touch them. However, Li Changshou felt that the six old Daoists were at least a little cuter than their Second Sect Master. The Grand Supreme Elder had already disappeared. What shocked Li Changshou the most was that no one knew when the Grand Supreme Elder had left.
Brother Zhao reminded Li Changshou. When Li Changshou looked at the seat of the Grand Supreme Elder, he realized that there was no one there.
The details were obvious.
This should be a true transcendent existence.
However, the Grand Supreme Elder was only the incarnation of the Saint. He really did not know how mysterious the Saint’s mystical abilities were.
Once the Grand Supreme Elder left, Zhao Gongming immediately relaxed. He sat casually in a relaxed manner again.
Zhao Gongming muttered, “Changgeng, shall we go and greet Elder Moon? Otherwise, we might feel distant when we visit the Hall of Marriage later.” “Alright.” Li Changshou smiled and agreed. He carried the wine bottle with Zhao Gongming and walked half a round behind to go to the corner of Elder Moon’s seat.
Elder Moon hurriedly stood up and smiled warmly. Due to Li Changshou’s reminder, he did not bow to Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming chuckled and said warmly, “Elder Moon, nice to meet you.”
Elder Moon cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Daoist, greetings.”
Zhao Gongming raised his glass and returned to his seat with Li Changshou.
Before he left, Li Changshou gave Elder Moon a look and instructed, “After the Immortal Peach Banquet, I will accompany Brother Gongming to the Hall of Marriage. I have something to ask of you.”
Elder Moon’s heart skipped a beat. “W-What’s the matter? I can’t restrict Connate lifeforms. I don’t even have clay figurines.” “Don’t worry.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s a problem that you will definitely understand, Elder Moon.” There was a deeper meaning in Li Changshou’s eyes. Elder Moon quickly understood the guidance of the minister. Even if he did not understand, he had to! Hence, throughout the entire Immortal Peach Banquet, Elder Moon frowned and kept thinking about what would happen… The eldest outer sect disciple of Jie School, an ordinary official of the Heavenly Courts, and a member of the Hall of Marriage… Why are they together? The red-robed Elder Moon gradually fell into a dilemma.
The purpose of this Immortal Peach Banquet was to take in the dragons. Now that the dragon race had successfully submitted, although the Four Seas Dragon Palace still had various problems, the righteous cause had been decided. Next, the Heavenly Courts could help the dragon race. However, this was not a one-time deal after all. Li Changshou had obtained so much merit, so he would take the initiative to take on the “post-sales job”. At the Immortal Peach Banquet, everyone was eating peaches. However, Li Changshou placed a cloth on the table and began to write a memorial.
That was also a scheme.
Li Changshou had obtained the Jade Emperor’s permission previously. He did not write a memorial there to show how hardworking he was. He simply wrote it for the dragon race and the Western Sect to see.
At the same time, he told the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas that if they wanted to submit a memorial in the future, they would use a standard format…
For the first segment of the memorial… He suggested that the Heavenly Courts send troops to the North Ocean, which was the weakest and had the most demons. It could also be used as a training ground for the Heavenly Courts outside the miasma in the North Continent.
The North Ocean Dragon King beamed. The second segment of the content was also to benefit the dragon race. It was the Heavenly River Navy stationed at the edge of the Heavenly River. If anything happened to the Four Seas Dragon Palace, they would respond to the Dragon Palace’s request for help as soon as possible.
The Dragon Kings of the South Ocean, North Ocean, and East Ocean were all beaming. The third segment of the content was that the Heavenly Courts should use the Heavenly Rules to restrict the dragon race. They could not disregard the Heavenly Rules because of the deep heritage of the dragon race.
If they encountered evil dragons, they should punish them severely as a warning to others. The Heavenly Courts should establish the Dragon Slaying Platform, and they would be both benevolent and powerful. The West Ocean Dragon King immediately had a bitter expression.
He lowered his head and sighed. After writing the memorial, Li Changshou put it away and waited for the Immortal Peach Banquet to begin… The matter regarding the dragon race was settled. At that moment, Li Changshou felt a little relieved. After all, he did not need to worry about the dragon race in the future. The Jade Emperor could directly interfere. Later, he would also make the “The Dragon Race Returns to the Heavenly Courts” into some songs and stories, and spread them throughout the Primordial World to increase the Heavenly Courts’ authority and presence.
He, the paper effigy, sat there and quietly waited for the Immortal Peach Banquet to end.
From time to time, the Heavenly Courts’ immortals and elders of the dragon race would come over to toast him. Li Changshou smiled and responded without putting on any airs. When the time came for the appointment with Ling’e, Li Changshou was about to return his attention to the Little Qiong Peak when Ao Yi left his seat. What is this fellow trying to do? Li Changshou sent a request for eye contact, but Ao Yi was only focused on talking to the Dragon King of the East Ocean softly and did not notice. Ao Yi first discussed softly beside the Dragon King of the East Ocean. After receiving the Dragon King’s approval, he quickly walked to the Jade Emperor’s throne, lifted the hem of his battle dress, and knelt on one knee.
“Your Majesty!” The Jade Emperor, who was smiling and enjoying the singing and dancing, raised his hand and supported him. He smiled and said, “You can report whatever you want. Ao Yi, get up and reply.” “Okay!” Ao Yi stood up and said loudly, “I want to follow behind the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. Please leave the Sea God’s authority!” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Where is General Dongmu?”
General Dongmu stood up and bowed. “I’m here!”
“Ao Yi’s Deity Position had advanced to the first stage. The specific authority will be decided by you and Changgeng.”
“Yes!”
Ao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and smiled shyly at Li Changshou. He bowed and turned around to run back to his previous seat.
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. His Second Sect Master was really considerate.
Late at night, Li Changshou came from the Pill Chamber. He landed by the lake and stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
There was no choice. Ling’e began to plot some scenes where she was bathing but her senior brother “accidentally” walked in on her.
When Ling’e realized that her plan had failed, she quickly dressed up and undid the barrier around the straw hut. Li Changshou then turned around and walked over with a faint smile.
“Senior Brother!”
Ling’e walked out of the house and shouted.
Li Changshou looked up and smiled. “Which fairy is this?”
She was wearing a light yellow chiffon dress. Her smooth skin looked even more exquisite and beautiful under the light of the pearl. After hearing Li Changshou’s words, Lingle’s face turned slightly red. She bit her thin lips gently and crossed her hands in front of her. She turned her body to the side and made way for the door. Then, she lowered her head, looked around, and smiled sweetly. “Stupid Senior Brother, you finally came to look at me…” Li Changshou said calmly, “Steadiness Sutra.” “Hmph, so be it!” After entering the straw hut, Li Changshou sat on his senior brother’s personal chair and picked up the tea that Ling’e had prepared. “Come and sit here. I have two things to discuss with you today.”
Discuss?
Ling’e blinked and muttered softly, “Senior Brother, can’t you just give me instructions?” “These two matters are more complicated.” Li Changshou thought for a while and took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve. He pushed it in front of Ling’e and said, “Keep this close to your body first.” Ling’e’s eyes lit up and she grabbed it with a grin. “This is not from me,” Li Changshou said calmly. “It is from a female immortal who has a close relationship with me. She asked me to pass it to you.” Crack! Crack! Crack! Dozens of bolts of lightning seemed to have appeared behind Ling’e. The desolate sounds of music played by an Erhu echoed around her.
Why? I was clearly the one who first…
During the period of seclusion after the Tribulation Transcendence, Senior Brother developed a close relationship with a female immortal who has sent me a jade hairpin that symbolizes her ownership of Senior brother!
Why!
“Have you heard of the Three Xiao Immortals of Jie School?” “I’ve heard of it.” Ling’e hung her head dejectedly and looked like she was about to cry. “The Three Xiao Immortals of Jie School, Connate lifeforms, and the few mighty figures in the world are all recorded in the books Senior Brother gave me.” “Yes, the one who gave you the jade hairpin is Fairy Yun Xiao, the eldest sister of the Three Xiao Immortals and the eldest outer sect disciple of Jie School.” Ling’e was stunned. She first lost her focus and was shocked. “Senior Brother, you tricked Fairy Yun Xiao!?!”
“Copy the Steadiness Sutra three thousand times.” Li Changshou could not help but complain. “What do you mean trick!?!” “This matter is too complicated to explain. You can take it that Fairy Yun Xiao and I have formed some connections in the beginning. However, the various mighty figures kept helping me and caused Fairy Yun Xiao, who was not too clear about matters regarding Dao companions, to have a good impression of me. Those who helped me are the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of Ren School, Daoist Duobao of Jie School, a certain wise and mighty Sect Master who does not care about trifles…” Ling’e opened her mouth and raised her hand to support her forehead. She was dizzy and did not know where she was. “Senior Brother, if you eat two peanuts… Aiya!”
She covered her forehead and smiled bitterly. She complained, “Senior Brother, how can I believe you when you suddenly say that?”
“Where is the pill I gave you previously?” Ling’e flipped her hand and immediately took out the pill. Her face was red as she said, “Here! However, I’ve eaten it before… Although I wrapped it with immortal power…”
“Carefully sense the Dao runes of this pill.”
“Oh.” Ling’e followed his instructions and began to comprehend quietly. Soon, she frowned Li Changshou said calmly, “You are now in the Heaven Immortal realm. You should be able to recognize how extraordinary this pill is. This is a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, refined by the Grand Supreme Elder and given to you by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du.”
Ling’e’s eyes flickered. She bit her lips and muttered, “Senior Brother, why don’t you keep such a valuable item for your Golden Immortal Tribulation?”
“I’ve already transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation.”
Ling’e was speechless.
Li Changshou slowly sighed and said, “Now, you and Master are still the people I trust the most. Although your temperament is far from enough, Master’s status is useless. Ahem!” “As the saying goes, ‘I have raised my junior sister for a hundred years. I will need her help for a while.’ Although I have the paper effigy technique, I sometimes feel that I can’t take care of matters both inside and outside of the sect. I need you to stand up and help me deal with some matters in the sect.”
“Today, I will tell you some things about me being outside. Although I can’t tell you everything, I will follow your advice. If you feel that you don’t want to bear all these, I can wipe away your memories tonight and treat you the same as before tomorrow.” “I’ll bear it!” Ling’e hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, I’ll take responsibility. You can use me for anything!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “Look here first.” Li Changshou took out a portrait from his chest pocket and opened it. It was a portrait of Fairy Yun Xiao. There were small words beside it. “This is Fairy Yun Xiao’s basic situation and her Dao companion view. You should understand it first so that you don’t think too much. Then, remember all these. Don’t make any mistakes.” Then, Li Changshou took out a stack of jade talismans.
The plan for the Little Qiong Peak’s vagrancy was recorded in the stack of jade talismans.
