My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 423

Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Time Management

“Hey, hey, hey. Changgeng, how did you look at this painting? Did you write it like a god and is quite extraordinary?” A teasing voice pulled Li Changshou out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw Master Zhao pinching his beard and leaning forward. His old face was almost sticking to him, and his eyes were shining strangely. Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “Thank you for the brush and ink, Master,” Li Changshou replied with a smile. He stood up and bowed in the direction of Golden Ao Island. Then, he carefully put away the canvas. “I will definitely place this brush and ink at home and pay my respects whenever I’m free.” Zhao Gongming was clearly stunned. He smiled and said, “This treasure map is not to give you courage…

Forget it, you can think that way.” Li Changshou sighed softly and gestured for Master Zhao to sit properly. He frowned and asked, “When did you start reading, Master?” “I don’t know.” Zhao Gongming shook his sleeves and cleared his throat. “When Master summoned us, I predicted earlier and happened to see you there. Oh, Yunyun, please give me your hand.” The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched crazily. His face was burning. Fortunately, the paper effigy was there. His expression was adjusted by his immortal power.

Ah! Do the people of the Primordial World have any right to privacy!?! Do the Saints of the Primordial World not respect the privacy of their disciples?

In his previous life, the Grandmaster of Heaven would have been hung up and cursed by thousands of chivalrous people! When the dust of the Saints landed on every living being, it was an unbearable burden! Master Zhao smiled and said, “Do you know that Master calls you Little Changgeng? He’s quite friendly.”

“Oh?” Li Changshou’s eyes lit up.

It’s fine then.

“What else did Master say?”

“He wanted us to look for you and communicate more.” Zhao Gongming picked up the mortal fruits on the fruit platter and ate them with relish. “Master said that there is a great calamity in the sect. However, the heavenly secrets are in chaos. The Saints can’t see the truth of the calamity. Master has gone to the Chaos Sea to search for treasures again. He should be looking for the Chaos Bell. Of the three treasures that had been split open, only the Chaos Bell had not been obtained by his master. That had always been a knot in his heart. Back then, after Master became a Saint, he almost went to split the Demon Court. Fortunately, he was stopped by Aunt-Master.”

This Grandmaster of Heaven… is really sincere and heroic.

Li Changshou asked curiously, “Brother, aren’t you nervous when you heard about the Great Tribulation?”

“I’m already used to the calamity.”

Zhao Gongming sighed slowly and smiled.

“From the ancient times until now, if there were no calamities from the Heavenly Dao, how many living beings would have to cultivate until they merged with the Dao? Now that the Three Dao Sects have three Saints, there will not be much of a problem even if there is a calamity. Changgeng, you are still young and have not experienced any major calamities.

When the Great Tribulation arrives, the five continents of the Primordial World would be enveloped by the Tribulation Luck that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The deduction and divination techniques would be completely suppressed. The living beings in seclusion would also be awakened by the tremors of the Great Dao. No one knows if the thought in their hearts is due to the Tribulation Luck that wants to pull them into the Tribulation. During the Great Magi-Demon War, most of the disciples of the Dao Sect were warned by the Heavenly Dao not to get into trouble. Only Senior Brother Xuan Du was the oldest pure Yang human in the ancient times.

Even during the calamity, he had jumped to the front of the Five Village Temple with the treasures of Ren School at the crucial moment. He did not say anything to the East Emperor Tai Yi and directly started fighting. Tsk, tsk. With the Chaos Bell in hand, the East Emperor Tai Yi, who is a ruthless person, fought against the Saint. In the end, he was defeated by the Great Daoist Master’s first battle…”

Zhao Gongming was elated and interested. He changed the topic and asked, “In the previous tribulation, the Great Daoist Master of Ren School stood up. Could it be that you are going to stand up this time?” Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He asked, “Brother, have you ever thought about what the tribulation is?”

Zhao Gongming said, “Since the ancient times, there have been many different opinions regarding the Great Tribulation. Master has also revealed some information. There is a well-known saying that there was a limit to the capacity of the world. As the number of living beings increased and their strength increased, it would cause the Primordial World to be unstable, such as spiritual energy. The birth of spiritual energy took a long time. This place does not refer to the spirit mine. The spirit mine is just a jade stone where spiritual energy is stored. As more and more spiritual energy turns into Dharma powers and cultivation levels, the Qi Refinement cultivators would use them to improve themselves.

The spiritual energy in the world would gradually dissipate and cause changes in the world. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the Heavenly Dao will send a huge tribulation to suppress the power of living beings.” Li Changshou nodded slowly and pondered carefully. He had naturally heard of those principles. However, when he connected it to the battle in the Xuandu City that the Great Daoist Master had mentioned, he had different insights. If the power of living beings was too low, it would attract the attention of outsiders. If the power of living beings was too strong, the world would not be able to withstand it, and it would cause the world to decline.

In that case, the human race could survive even without cultivation. Cultivation could also become a race where experts protected the world. It was indeed the most suitable for the Primordial World.

The Art of Equalization might be here. Li Changshou closed his eyes and subconsciously wanted to comprehend the Dao. However, he recalled that he still had something to discuss. He could only temporarily seal his comprehension and slowly savor it when he returned.

Li Changshou said seriously, “Brother, although the three sects are powerful, we can’t let our guard down.”

“Don’t worry.” Zhao Gongming waved his hand. “Brother, just focus on supporting the Heavenly Courts. Put your focus on romance, ahem, improving the relationship between the three sects. I will inform you in time if anything happens to Jie School. By the way, when are you going to the Three-Immortal Island to take a look?” Li Changshou sighed and said, “Everything can’t be rushed. I’ve just parted with the fairy. If I visit her early, it will easily disturb our Dao hearts. Brother, are you going to be free in the next few decades?” Zhao Gongming leaned forward and said in a low voice, “Do you need me to kill the Demon Prince?”

“Isn’t it too ear-piercing to say yes?” Li Changshou leaned over and smiled. “However, I feel that if he is not eliminated, he will definitely be a huge problem in the future. I plan to report immediately when the Jade Emperor returns to the Heavenly Courts after experiencing the tribulation. I plan to fully deploy the demons at the border of the North Continent. Now that the Demon Prince and the Western Sect have joined forces again, there might be disciples of the Western Saints who will secretly attack. At that time, there must be a powerful figure who can help the Heavenly Courts.”

“You’ve already spoken. Can I not help you?”

Zhao Gongming said in a low voice, “It’s probably not safe for me to attack alone. Why don’t we call Senior Brother Duobao and Jin Ling along? The three of us will attack together. Unless the Western Sect has an old master, we can deal with all situations.

However…”

“Brother, feel free to ask if you need anything.” “Look, can you make up a book like ‘Sweet Nothings Compilation’ or something? Master asked us to form Dao companions in the sect. Although half of our fellow disciples are rather intelligent, most of them are good at cultivation and are not good at this Dao.” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and chuckled. “If you can help, Changgeng, do it. We’re all family. You shouldn’t say whether you can help or not. Just shout if anything happens.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Why is this brother so much more cunning than before!?!

Love can indeed make people grow, especially failed relationships.

“What’s wrong with that?” Li Changshou said seriously. “I’ll make up a book as soon as possible. I’ll definitely do my best to polish it carefully. Brother, I plan to advise the Jade Emperor to establish the position of a guest of the Heavenly Courts. Then, I will officially invite you, Senior Brother Duobao, and Senior Sister Jin Ling to stand for the Heavenly Courts. How about that?”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and said, “I’ll naturally follow your arrangements. “As for the two of them, I’ll help you ask around later. Senior Brother Duobao should not reject me. Jin Ling doesn’t like these… You have to inform Chan School, lest there are any conflicts.” “Brother, don’t worry.” Li Changshou looked to the side. It had happened twice already. When Master Zhao addressed the Goddess of Golden Spirit, he would just call her by her name!

There was probably something wrong with that. However, Li Changshou did not pay attention to it. He chatted with Master Zhao about the battle between the Heavenly Courts and the demons in the North Continent.

The sunlight shone on the edge of the inner hall. The room gradually lit up. The laughter that echoed in the thick array formation became more cheerful.

Li Changshou planned to place the Saint’s brush and ink that Master Zhao had sent to him in the secret chamber of the Little Qiong Peak as a warning. Li Changshou did not dare to say that he could completely understand the deeper meaning behind the Grandmaster of Heaven’s brush and ink, but he had a feeling… The feeling of being threatened by the four Immortal Vanquishing Swords. “Ah, what kind of experience is it to be in a relationship that the Saint paid attention to in the Primordial World?”

After sending Master Zhao off, Li Changshou’s attention returned to the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence. He dealt with the many subsequent matters of the demon race.

The celebration was not worth celebrating. It was just a head-on clash with the demons. There might be more friction in the future.

The Grandmaster of Heaven had already deduced the Dao Sect’s calamity. He reckoned that the Grandmaster of the Western Sect had also deduced that the Western Sect should restrain their sharpness and wait for the calamity to descend. Of course, if they deduced enough information, they might continue to take on the old path and intensify the conflict between the two sects.

Randeng and the other traitors became important chess pieces… What do I need to do now?

Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table and opened a memorial. He looked at the “Twelve Deadly Sins of the Demon Court” written on it and carefully reviewed it.

It was enough to kill Daoist Lu Ya in the name of righteousness.

As one of the three observational experiments, if Daoist Lu Ya was really killed before the Great Tribulation arrived, the Great God-Conferment Scriptures would definitely change. He was afraid that the Heavenly Dao would choose another person or a few people to fill in the role of Daoist Lu Ya…

After putting away the memorial, Li Changshou was about to take a walk in the courtyard when his immortal senses captured the little fairy who was riding a cloud outside the Water God Residence. It was Long Ji, who had been “guarding” the Jade Pool.

He thought, ‘Judging from the smile on her face, she should be here to celebrate.’

At that moment, in the courtyard of the Water God Residence, a few Heavenly Generals shouted out the spiritual pearl. According to the rules set by Li Changshou, they would spar with the spiritual pearl every few days. The changes in Ling Zhuzi… could be said to be very minor.

At that moment, she was wearing a long robe. There was a hint of anticipation on her delicate face. At least, she was no longer shy.

Uh…

The image of Long Ji and Ling Zhuzi standing together appeared in Li Changshou’s mind. He pondered carefully and shook his head.

It really did not match. “Teacher!”

Just as he was thinking about that, the young girl in a short skirt had already gracefully landed in front of Li Changshou. She cupped her fists and bowed. “I’m here to congratulate you!” Her short skirt today was quite unique. From the bottom up, it looked like the sunset was approaching from afar. There was a gradual change. Li Changshou sized her up. Long Ji’s face was slightly red, but she stood on her tiptoes and said happily, “Teacher is really impressive this time. You destroyed so many elites of the demon race! If Father returns, I wonder how he will reward Teacher!” Li Changshou said seriously, “This technique should be used by the soldiers of the Heavenly Courts to fight. Don’t spout nonsense.”

“Oh.” Long Ji stuck out the tip of her tongue. “Teacher, what are you looking at… Uh, that girl is so delicate and pretty. Is she a disciple who cultivated with Teacher?” Li Changshou almost laughed out loud. He said, “He’s Ling Zhuzi, a disciple of an expert of Chan School, Perfected Taiyi. He came to stay with me for a while. Don’t be too close to him.” “Yes, I will follow Teacher’s instructions.” Long Ji frowned slightly and pondered carefully. She added a few hundred words in her heart and analyzed why Li Changshou told her not to be too close to Ling Zhuzi.

Could it be that Teacher is afraid that I have some feelings for Ling Zhuzi… Long Ji blushed and looked at Li Changshou eagerly. It was rare for Li Changshou to misunderstand. He said seriously, “Don’t think too much. Ling Zhuzi came here to complete the cultivation path that allows you to have more masculine energy. At the current stage, he can’t have too much contact with women. At the next stage, I will ask you to help when I need a weak woman to trigger his desire to protect and take responsibility.”

Long Ji did not understand and nodded in a daze.

Li Changshou smiled warmly and let Long Ji enter the house. He began to inspect the homework that he had given her previously. That gave Long Ji a headache and she complained incessantly.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were not at home. Li Changshou did not dare to relax about teaching Long Ji.

At the same time, Li Changshou had to keep an eye on Long Ji so that she would not be schemed against. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to the Jade Emperor.

It was within the scope of authority for ordinary ministers of the Heavenly Courts to worry about the Jade Emperor’s family matters. After thinking about it carefully, Li Changshou realized that he had indeed interfered too much. After being disrupted by Daoist Lu Ya’s denunciation of the heavens, he was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as he was at the beginning of his vacation.

He did not have to worry about the trivial matters of the Heavenly Courts. General Dongmu would deal with them himself. However, General Dongmu would rush over to discuss matters related to the demons with him. At the same time, he had to pay attention to the North Continent and monitor the movements of the demons at all times. At the same time, he had to record some of the experts hiding in the demons. Apart from that, Li Changshou also had to be responsible for communicating with the dragon race and the Netherworld. He had to pay attention to the situation of a black leopard living alone after it was “dumped”. He had to tutor his junior sister who was about to go out to train…

Cultivation was also the most important. No matter how busy he was, he still had to gain enlightenment. Otherwise, how could he surpass the older generation?

“It does not depend on how much time you have. It depends on how you distribute it.” Li Changshou was busy and could even refine pills, drink tea, cook, and write letters to Fairy Yun Xiao. When he was free, he would tease her. Occasionally, he would go to the chess room to relax and lose some Spirit Stones and Spirit Wine. In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

The demons did not make any big moves. Li Changshou did not notice the passage of time. On the day that he and Ling’e agreed to go down the mountain, he rushed over.

That day, Li Changshou strolled to Ling’e’s straw hut with his hands behind his back.

In order to express his respect for his junior sister, he specially used his main body and changed into a brand new Daoist robe. “Ahem! It’s time. Pack up and get ready to go!” Uh, why does that sound a little ominous?

At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing in the room. Ling’e shouted, as if something had happened. The straw hut fell silent. Li Changshou waited calmly. He did not extend his immortal senses into the array. However, after waiting for a while, he saw a few drops of water dripping from the wooden plank, mixed with traces of blood…

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“I’ll go in if you don’t come out.” Li Changshou took two steps forward. “Senior Brother, don’t! I’m not wearing any clothes… Senior Brother, I seem to have… Ahem, I’ve become crazy… Ah, my heart hurts…” Li Changshou shook his head in disappointment and turned around to leave. He said, “Suit yourself.” The straw hut fell silent again. The owner of the straw hut blinked. The script seemed to be different from what she had planned.

Are you really not coming in?

Li Changshou counted silently in his heart, from one to thirty-six. Just as he walked under the willow tree, the window of the straw hut was pulled open. Ling’e stuck her head out and hurriedly shouted, “Senior Brother! I’m done!”

Li Changshou turned around and cursed with a black face, “Are you not going crazy?” “Hehe.” Ling’e made a face. “I had a wrong feeling. It was just a fork in the air just now…”

Li Changshou sighed.

Ever since Fairy Yun Xiao’s visit, Ling’e had been acting as if she had found a backer. His prestige as her Senior Brother was greatly reduced. He had to take advantage of this experience to suppress her. Otherwise… Wouldn’t he be in trouble in the future?
