Chapter 442 - Talk About Tribulation in the Lingxiao Hall

Chapter 442 Talk About Tribulation in the Lingxiao Hall

“… If there are traitors from the Heavenly Courts who are secretly interfering in Chan School, why would Jie School reject General Dongmu? Changgeng, aren’t you on good terms with Fairy Yun Xiao and the disciples of Jie School like Zhao Gongming?” On the steps of the platform in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor lay on his side and casually picked up a Purple Crystal grape from the Dragon Palace. He placed it in his mouth and asked in confusion.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Why does this grape look so familiar? Ahem, that’s not right.

Has the Jade Emperor calmed down so quickly?

At that moment, he gritted his teeth and cursed. He did not seem like the Jade Emperor.

Li Changshou sighed and said, “I wrote a letter to Senior Brother Duobao in advance.”

“Oh?”

The Jade Emperor was puzzled. “Why did Changgeng take the initiative to let Jie School enter the calamity? You should have worked hard to get rid of Jie School.”

“Your Majesty, you might not know,” Li Changshou said in a low voice. “Ever since I schemed against the dragon race, I have already affected the destiny of this calamity. Once the destiny of the calamity is out, I will immediately suffer a backlash. Although I had forcefully killed Daoist Lu Ya in the North Continent to avenge my master, I got targeted by the Heavenly Dao because of that. A will had appeared through the Tribulation Luck and was staring at my essence soul. If I dare to do anything to stop the Great Tribulation, my essence soul will be severely injured. I will probably only wake up after 180 years. The Great Tribulation is already set in stone. I cannot stop it from descending. However, I have the Dao Sect and the Heavenly Courts in mind, so I made a choice.”

“Oh? How?”

The Jade Emperor took a few plates of fruits from the jade table and placed them between the two of them. He listened attentively. Li Changshou slowly explained, “Chan School and Jie School are destined to enter the calamity. The Grandmaster of Heaven and Senior Brother Duobao know about this. Everyone who has a significant cultivation level in Jie School knows that I can’t save them just because I want to. Apart from the Heavenly Emperor, who can interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Dao? No one can stop him. However, if the Great Tribulation only targeted the Dao Sect, wouldn’t the Western Sect benefit?

The two Aunt-Masters of the Western Sect had a grand ambition to become Saints. They had an urgent need to prosper. If the Dao Sect declined, the Western Sect would definitely prosper. Therefore, I took the initiative to attack and discussed with Jie School to let them enter the Great Tribulation and sell a favor to the will in the Tribulation Transcendence.

Then, I used this favor to secretly invite General Dongmu to the spiritual mountain in the Western Sect to pass through the spiritual mountain and return to the Heavenly Courts. Although it was a favor, it is actually a balance. Then, I would use Your Majesty’s help to lure the Western Sect into the calamity and get rid of the arrogant calamity of Ren School… Please forgive me, Your Majesty.” “Haha, hahahaha! Amazing!” The Jade Emperor laughed while chewing on the grapes. His hearty laughter echoed in the hall as he waved his hand gently.

The white-robed Jade Emperor’s eyes were filled with stars. He smiled and said, “It’s fine! I was previously affected by the Great Tribulation and became the key to opening it. On the other hand, Changgeng, although you used me to plot this time, you made me feel much more at ease. Previously, I did not know why you wanted to enter the Heavenly Courts and why you came to assist me. Now, I roughly understand. Senior Brother Grand Pure One is like that, the Great Daoist Master is like that, and so are you.” Li Changshou blinked. What? Is there a subtle misunderstanding? “Changgeng, where do you think the Heavenly Courts should be?”

“Above.” Li Changshou pointed at the sky. “The Heavenly Courts should not participate in this Great Tribulation. We only have to wait for the Great Tribulation to end. The golden pillar outside the hall should be used well, Your Majesty.”

“So what if it’s good or not? Most of them have already been decided.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “I intend to entrust this matter to Changgeng. Once the calamity is officially over, I will give Changgeng the right to monitor him. At that time, Changgeng will be the Heavenly Courts’ special envoy and the ambassador of the Heavenly Dao. It will be more convenient for Changgeng to save some people during the Great Tribulation.”

Li Changshou immediately stood up and bowed to the Jade Emperor with a Dao salute. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“I should have returned the favor.” The Jade Emperor shook his head and smiled. “If the Dao Ancestor had not told me about your previous efforts, I would not have thought of that. Changgeng, you don’t have to worry about anything. There are some things that you don’t have to keep in your heart. If you can discuss it with me, discuss it more. You treat the Heavenly Courts sincerely. You treat me, the Heavenly Emperor, who was originally ignored by everyone, sincerely. Hence, I will treat you sincerely and help you.

The prosperity of the Heavenly Courts had finally been achieved and you deserve credit for that. No matter what happens to the Heavenly Courts after the calamity, as long as I remain as the immortal leader, Changgeng, you will enjoy the deputy position.” Li Changshou stood up and looked at the Jade Emperor. His smile was more carefree. The Jade Emperor sighed softly again. “Let’s not talk about that. This Great Tribulation is called the God-Conferment Tribulation. The Heavenly Dao naturally wants to expand the Heavenly Courts. A hundred years later, Chan School, Jie School, and the Western Sect will go to the Purple Cloud Palace to sign the God roll. At that time, I will also go over. Changgeng, are you willing to follow me to meet the Dao Ancestor?”

“Your Majesty, I will follow you.”

“I wonder how I will confer the gods in this Great Tribulation.” The Jade Emperor pursed his lips. “I will definitely kill during any Great Tribulation. Changgeng, do you think it’s possible that the immortals of the three sects will start fighting? Is it possible that this disciple will go to the Dao field and kill this disciple? If that is the case, what is the basis of the God Conferment? Is it because of this spirit’s original position in the three sects, the strength of his Dharma powers, or his character?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I believe the Dao Ancestor has already made arrangements.”

The Jade Emperor muttered, “The Dao Ancestor said that the Heavenly Dao has already arranged it. By the way, Changgeng, when will the Grand Pure One officially take you in as a disciple?”

“Well…”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and joked, “It depends on Teacher’s intentions. However, when that happens, I can address you as Uncle-Master.”

“Hahahaha!”

The Jade Emperor was immediately amused. “Come, shout a few more times!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Your Majesty, the rules of the Heavenly Courts still have to be respected.”

“How boring. Changgeng, you’re not as interesting as when you were Mu Qinghua.”

The Jade Emperor peeled an orange and threw it into Li Changshou’s hand. He smiled and said, “I originally wanted to call you Teacher as soon as you entered the hall. I wanted to see if you would sweat from fear. It’s fine that you helped my junior sister, but you even became a teacher and wanted to matchmake her!”

Li Changshou was filled with helplessness. He sat back on the lowest jade step and smiled bitterly. “Your Majesty, a little of your soul entered the Reincarnation Disc and connected the Heaven, Earth, and Human realms. The South Continent is filled with auspicious signs. The mighty figures will know after deducing. It can’t be hidden. He had no choice but to matchmake His Majesty and the Goddess… Your Majesty, you were twelve or thirteen years old that year. Your heart was moved and you added five red strings at once. Elder Moon almost cried from fright.”

“Hahahaha! I’m actually that brave?” Li Changshou coughed and ate the sweet immortal orange. He asked softly, “Your Majesty, can you tell me in detail what you did in the Purple Cloud Palace?”

The Jade Emperor sighed softly and said softly, “Ah, I’m afraid that Hua Youming’s personality was affected by the tribulation in the mortal world. At that time, I was angry and was held by the luck of the tribulation. I went straight to the Purple Cloud Palace. When we arrived at the palace gate, I knelt down and called him Master. Then…”

“Then?”

The Jade Emperor covered his eyes with one hand and sighed. “I actually cried. It’s really embarrassing.” Li Changshou was enlightened. It turned out that the crying was true. The rumors were not exaggerated.

It is not a sin for a man to cry. An Immortal Emperor should cry and kneel before the Dao Sect.

“If the Heavenly Courts can prosper and rule the Three Realms, it’s worth it for me to cry.” The Jade Emperor stretched and stood up. He looked at the sea of clouds outside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

“Minister Changgeng, accept the decree.”

“I’m here.”

“In three months, you can go to the mortal world and bring my sister, who has undergone tribulation, back to the Heavenly Courts. I previously told Hua Yun about this in a dream and made her stay in the mortal world for another hundred days.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I accept your orders.”

“Ahem.” The Jade Emperor suddenly coughed. He looked around and went to Li Changshou’s side. He faced Li Changshou and touched his left shoulder.

“Changgeng, remember to go to the manor where my body went into seclusion after experiencing the tribulation. There is a wooden box under the wardrobe. You can burn it. There are… things inside. If this matter gets out, I won’t have any pride left.”

Li Changshou nodded solemnly. His expression was hundreds of times more serious than when he was discussing the Great Tribulation.

He understood that feeling.

Before he died in his previous life, he had also grabbed his good brother’s collar and told him in his ear that he had to make sure that his super-large hard disk, which had no documents on the surface but was already full, was formatted, re-recorded, and re-recorded. It would be best if it was damaged physically and the parts were burned to him. That was it!

The thin face of a man.

When he left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Li Changshou felt a little emotional. The Jade Emperor had descended to the mortal world once. He had a much more human-like aura than before. His words and actions also had a hint of flesh and blood.

In particular, when Li Changshou heard the Jade Emperor say that he wanted to give birth to seven daughters to make up for the regret of not being able to have children during the tribulation, he felt deep admiration.

That was probably how the seven fairies came about.

His incarnation returned to the Water God Residence. Before he entered the door, his Dao heart was filled with the sound of waves. There were guests at the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. Li Changshou did not dare to neglect the guests. A paper effigy flew out of the ground and rushed to meet the person.

The ones who came were the three members of the “Twelve Golden Immortals” of Chan School – Perfected Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding If he was not wrong, he should have gone to ask about the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. After the battle in the North Continent, Li Changshou had deliberately “recuperated” on the Three-Immortal Island for twelve years. In fact, he had not only wanted to comprehend the Dao and plot, but he had also considered “avoiding the calamity”. At that moment, when facing the immortals of Chan School, Li Changshou could say that he was seriously injured and did not know the details. In the end, someone schemed against Chan School…

That way, they would not hurt each other’s feelings. There was no need for Jie School. Before Li Changshou made the arrangements, he had discussed it carefully with Fairy Yun Xiao. At that moment, Li Changshou opened the paper effigy vault under Anshui City and a paper effigy flew out to meet the three Golden Immortals of Chan School.

The next game was a true battle between the sects. When they were fighting previously, most of the disciples of the Saints would not be injured. However, if there were fights in the future, it would not be as simple as scamming. Under the luck of the tribulation, if one did not have enough mystical abilities and fate, they would be reduced to ashes.

Putting aside the fact that Li Changshou had met the three immortals of Chan School in the Sea God Temple, after Li Changshou left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, General Dongmu had been summoned by the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor sat back on the throne and held the memorial. He said, “General Dongmu, tell me, how should we punish Changgeng?”

General Dongmu was stunned when he heard that. He hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, please investigate! The Water God has a sense of propriety and has no ulterior motives towards the Heavenly Courts. Over the years, he had contributed greatly to the Heavenly Courts! I can testify that the Goddess forced the Water God to do it!”

“Alright, enough, I understand Changgeng well.” The Jade Emperor threw the memorial in his hand aside. “General Dongmu, you only need to find a small sin. I can punish Changgeng to be the instructor of Chang’e in the Moon Palace. I can also let Changgeng rest and relax for a period of time.” General Dongmu was stunned. “Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not understand your intentions. The Water God… He descended to the mortal world without permission and interfered with His Majesty and the Goddess’ tribulation. He deserves punishment.”

“Alright, it’s settled then.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Let’s gather the immortals for a meeting at noon tomorrow. After I finish talking about the Great Tribulation, General Dongmu will submit the memorial.”

“Yes!”

General Dongmu lowered his head and accepted the order. He turned around and retreated.

The Jade Emperor sat on the throne and chuckled. He stretched his body and left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with his hands behind his back to go to the Jade Pool.

He had already said that he had to work hard.

Although seven was a little too many, it was not like they had never given birth before. Long Ji had already grown up… In the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. Li Changshou was sitting in the main seat. Perfected Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding were sitting on his left. They were sipping tea from the mortal world and talking about the calamity.

Perfected Huang Long cursed, “The fellow who came to the Jade Void Palace that day was the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts called Fu Yuan. He was simply deliberately stirring trouble! Who knew that he would turn around and complain to the Jade Emperor? The Jade Emperor went to the Purple Cloud Palace in anger. He caused such a huge trouble for our Chan School for no reason!”

Perfected Taiyi sneered. “The Heavenly Courts are really not picky when it comes to recruiting immortals.”

“You can’t say that.” Li Changshou looked helpless. “The Heavenly Courts have just been established. It’s inevitable that there are people with ulterior motives who have infiltrated.”

Perfected Yu Ding said, “This matter cannot be reversed by the Heavenly Courts. The Chan School and Jie School should have entered the tribulation. However, I did not expect the Western Sect to enter the tribulation as well.”

“Oh?”

Li Changshou asked curiously, “Senior Brother Yu Ding, can you tell me in detail?”

“I’m not good at talking.” Perfected Yu Ding pondered for a while and said seriously, “This has to do with my understanding of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao was compared to a living being, the majority of living beings would be the human race. The so-called main characters of the world, the human race is the gathering of the destiny of the living beings. The ancient tribulation should be the annihilation of the dragons, phoenixes, and Qilin. The ancient calamity should be the end of the demons and the Magi.

The tribulation this time should end the human race. However, the destiny of the human race is gathered in the mortal world. In other words, the main characters of the world are actually mortals. In the Heavenly Courts, apart from the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, the main body is the human race.

The three Dao Sects were established by teaching the human race. Apart from Ren School, they rarely did any teachings after the ancient times. However, they were protected by the destiny of the human race for no reason.

The more luck the human race has, the more they have to repay in the Great Tribulation. It’s the same for Chan School and Jie School.

It is even more troublesome for Jie School. Jie School is using the destiny of the human race to protect the race of all living beings… Any Qi Refinement cultivator who is not related to the human race would probably not be able to survive the huge calamity. I had previously made predictions for the calamity and understood that. However, I did not expect that the tribulation was not triggered by the Human Emperor but by the Jade Emperor. These are all fixed numbers. Without Fu Yuan, the form is just different.”

As soon as Yu Ding finished speaking, the entire inner hall was silent. Li Changshou, Perfected Huang Long, and Perfected Taiyi looked at Yu Ding in shock. Perfected Yu Ding frowned and said, “But did I say something wrong?” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Senior Brother, you’re brilliant!”

Perfected Huang Long frowned and asked, “Junior Brother Yu Ding, how did you figure that out?”

“Ha!”

Perfected Taiyi jumped away and glared at Perfected Yu Ding. He took out the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier and said, “Which demon is pretending to be my Junior Brother Yu Ding! How can my Junior Brother have such knowledge!?!” Yu Ding said helplessly, “This is just some enlightenment. Senior Brother, you usually think about how to scold others and refine treasures. Your cultivation has been delayed.”

“Really?” Perfected Taiyi smiled awkwardly. Li Changshou and Perfected Huang Long looked at each other and laughed. Li Changshou ordered someone to prepare a banquet and chatted with the three immortals. Then, he secretly invited Zhao Gongming over.

The three sects that were about to enter the tribulation were the Chan School, Jie School, and the Western Sect. The Dao Sect and the Western Sect were originally two different sects. It was the best plan to split the factions first and improve their relationship. Li Changshou knew that the Western Sect would definitely try their best to rope in Chan School. He had to make arrangements for that place next. Not long after, the banquet in the rear hall was filled with joy and laughter. At the same time, on Three-Immortal Island, a white figure left the clouds thousands of kilometers away and hid in the world, rushing to the East Continent.
