My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 491

Chapter 491 - Have You Comprehended?

Array formation?

Moreover, it was not a very brilliant array formation. However, the Yin and Yang Qi there were more powerful, making the universe as sturdy as a defensive numinous treasure. It could not be broken through directly.

Did they think that the phoenix race did not have any guidance for 90,000 years?

He still had that bit of knowledge.

When it realized that it was trapped in the array and that it could not rush out, the Golden-Winged Roc rushed for a few hours and quickly calmed down.

He could not force his way out. He had to find the Array Formation Life Gate… The Golden-Winged Roc smiled coldly. Golden light surged out of its eyes. The spiritual energy circulation path of the array formation was clearly imprinted in its heart.

He had found the Life Gate!

The Golden-Winged Roc’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the Life Gate. He… hesitated again.

Would the Water God set up such a simple array formation?

After a moment of silence, the Golden-Winged Roc tentatively took a step forward. The surrounding situation immediately changed. His body fell dozens of feet and actually fell into another trapping array.

Multiple trapping arrays? The Golden-Winged Roc heaved a sigh of relief and felt more at ease.

He continued to carefully investigate his surroundings and look for the Life Gate to prevent any hidden killer moves.

Hence, he checked three times at a time. His gaze was like lightning as he scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, an immortal god sighed. “Only the Water God can scare such an expert to such an extent.”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and replied, “It’s just that his temperament is lacking. It’s not my fault. Everyone, look. When he sees me in the array later, he will probably attack without saying anything.” The immortals in the hall could not help but be interested. They stared at the huge bronze mirror.

In the chain array of the Fourth Heaven, the Golden-Winged Roc had already found the second Life Gate. This time, it was a little more decisive. After observing for a while, it entered.

The surroundings changed again. After the trapping array, there was still the trapping array.

If not for the fact that every array was different, the Golden-Winged Roc would have suspected that it had broken into a brilliant array.

However, following that…

Trapping array, trapping array, and trapping array. The Life Gate, Life Gate, and Life Gate…

The Golden-Winged Roc advanced faster and faster. Its frown deepened. It passed through more than twenty trapping arrays in a row and suddenly stopped.

He saw the old Daoist priest drinking tea under the crooked tree and the wooden sign hanging on the tree.

It read: “Are you lost?”

“Hmph!”

The Golden-Winged Roc was burning with anger. Two golden-winged phantoms appeared on its back, and dozens of golden feathers burst out. They turned the old Daoist priest and the wooden tablet into sieves!

The old Daoist priest had dozens of transparent holes all over his body. He calmly put down the teacup and slowly shook his head. His body turned into clouds and disappeared.

The Golden-Winged Roc snorted again and continued to search everywhere. After discovering that it was still a trapping array, the corners of its mouth could not help but twitch.

“Water God! What are you doing!?!”

“Don’t think that you can trap me with just this array formation!”

“You can trap my Dao Body, but you can’t trap my mind!”

Li Changshou could not be bothered with it. After the Golden-Winged Roc found the Life Gate and left, he condensed another ethereal body and went under the crooked tree. He changed it to… an identical wooden sign.

Hence, four hours later…

The Golden-Winged Roc rushed back to the array formation from the same spot. When it saw the old Daoist priest, the crooked tree, and the wooden sign, it was stunned.

There were many small details there. For example, the expression and movements of Li Changshou’s cloud incarnation were exactly the same as the previous time.

“What are you plotting!?!”

The Golden-Winged Roc opened its mouth and rebuked angrily. It raised its hand and shot out a ray of black light. This time, it crushed the person and the tree into pieces.

Then, the Golden-Winged Roc cursed and turned around to head towards the Life Gate.

After the Golden-Winged Roc left, Li Changshou’s Dao runes appeared again. He became the same old crooked tree, the same wooden tablet, and the same old Daoist.

The immortals in the Lingxiao Hall were puzzled.

General Dongmu asked, “What is the purpose of the Water God’s actions?”

“General Dongmu, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Just keep watching. The Golden-Winged Roc was born with extreme speed. The speed at which it circled would become faster and faster. It would not take long. We’ll know in a month.”

Questions popped up on the heads of the immortals. The Jade Emperor was also extremely puzzled.

As Li Changshou had said, the Golden-Winged Roc returned to the crooked tree for the third time in less than an hour.

At that moment, although the Golden-Winged Roc’s expression was still cold and fierce, there was a hint of hesitation in its eyes. It hurriedly left after destroying the crooked tree.

The next time it was used, it was reduced to a moment. The Golden-Winged Roc rushed to the crooked tree…

It read: “Are you lost?”

The wooden sign swayed gently and kept creaking

The Golden-Winged Roc’s Dao heart, which was originally stable, began to waver…

“I really don’t believe you!”

Destroy the tree and the birds fly.

After the Golden-Winged Roc left, Li Changshou appeared again and restored the place to its original state.

The fifth round, the sixth round…

The tenth round, the eleventh round… the eighteenth round…

The speed at which the Golden-Winged Roc circled in the Chain Array increased. From the back, when it encountered the crooked tree, its body would pierce through the cloud shadows and crash into the entrance of the next array.

After the 19th round, the Golden-Winged Roc stopped in its tracks.

At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his long hair was a little messy. His breathing was rapid, and his Dharma powers were scattered. However, it was the first time that he stopped in front of Li Changshou.

Li Changshou smiled and maintained his previous actions. He raised his teacup and took a sip.

“Have you understood?”

The Golden-Winged Roc was stunned. It stood there for a while and then revealed a ferocious expression. It raised its hand and struck out with a palm, turning the situation in front of it into a cloud. It lowered its head and continued to challenge the levels.

“You think you can deceive my Dao heart?!”

Li Changshou was not anxious about that. He condensed the same set-up again and waited quietly.

After another seven rounds, the Golden-Winged Roc stopped again. However, this time, he stopped at the “upper compartment” where the crooked tree was.

“No, this is an illusion array. There are illusions everywhere!”

The Golden-Winged Roc looked at the crack in the rock where the only gate of life was. It took two steps back, and its voice changed from a low murmur to a loud shout to a roar… “It’s all fake. Everything is fake!”

“This is an illusion. They are all illusions! Illusions! Only my Dao is real! Only my Dao is real!”

Then, his figure turned into a ball of golden light and rushed left and right in the array. He was blocked by the Taiji Painting formed by the Yin-Yang Qi. He hit his head until blood flowed and his long hair scattered!

In the Lingxiao Hall, the immortals actually… They felt a little sympathetic.

Li Changshou shook his head slightly and said, “This divine beast’s mental cultivation level is really not high enough. I thought that he would be able to survive eighty-one rounds. I didn’t expect that his Dao heart would begin to collapse before he could even make thirty rounds.”

General Dongmu could not help but support his forehead with one hand.

An immortal god sighed and said, “We’re just watching from the side. We can feel the helplessness.”

“The Water God is really brilliant. The Chain Array can only trap this divine bird. However, every time the Water God appears, each expression will give a different hint. Only then can his guard be defeated step by step.”

“If we go in, we probably won’t be able to last more than thirty rounds.”

“Only now do I know that the Heavenly Lightning is just a small punishment. There is still room for improvement in the Eighteen Levels of Hell.”

Li Changshou smiled calmly and did not say anything. He secretly observed the Jade Emperor’s expression and returned his attention to the trapping array formation.

At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc had already passed through the Life Gate again. Its eyes were listless as it looked at the crooked tree and the old man under it.

“Have you understood?” Li Changshou asked again. The Golden-Winged Roc had a ferocious expression. It flew past the crooked tree again and crashed into the Life Gate of the array formation, entering the next “reincarnation”.

At that moment, Li Changshou began to add some new tricks.

At the eye of the Chain Array, Li Changshou released a few paper effigies and began to recite the Dao Sect’s sutras of persuasion. The various array formations began to chant sutras.

Hence, three days later…

The Golden-Winged Roc could not count how many times it had spun around, how many times it had seen the wooden sign, and how many times it had destroyed the incarnation of the Water God.

He was already a little dazed. He stumbled to the front of the rock peak, and his body felt empty.

As if possessed, the Golden-Winged Roc entered the rock peak. It saw the exact same scene and heard the voice. “Have you understood?”

The Golden-Winged Roc’s legs turned weak. It knelt on the cloud path and raised its head to mutter, “Comprehending what? Can you tell me what I have comprehended? Water God, what exactly do you want me to comprehend?”

Li Changshou looked a little disappointed. He shook his head and did not say anything. The Golden-Winged Roc was no longer ferocious. However, it stood up and trembled. It wanted to slap him, but it felt that it was just a waste of effort. It lowered its head and flew past him.

After another ten rounds…

Dong!

The Golden-Winged Roc knelt in front of the crooked tree and looked at Li Changshou. Tears could not help but fall from the corners of its eyes.

“Lord, what do you want me to comprehend? What do you want me to comprehend? Can you tell me? I will comprehend whatever you want me to comprehend!”

Li Changshou shook his head again and said calmly, “When you really understand what you want to comprehend, you will find the answer.”

Go.”

“Ah!”

The Golden-Winged Roc shouted in despair. It stood up and stomped its feet. Its figure quickly flashed past the place and continued to spin.

After another ten rounds, the Golden-Winged Roc’s heart trembled. It suddenly thought of something.

Am I lost?

That was a question that he had seen countless times. It was a question that the Water God kept asking him.

At that moment, he had already calmed down and thought of everything that he should have thought of.

If the Water God wanted to kill him, there was no need for him to put in so much effort. Recalling his conversation with the Water God, the other party had once said that he would not kill him on account of his old friend… It should be the peacock. That fellow’s gender is still undecided. I don’t even know if I should call him elder brother or sister!

The repeating array formation and the Water God appeared again and again. He repeatedly asked if he had figured it out, as well as the swaying wooden token… “Golden Roc, are you lost?”

At that moment, a greeting sounded in his Dao heart.

The voices that he had heard before sounded one after another, pushing him back and asking him that question.

The scene in front of him was pale. A few images appeared in the paleness, from near to far…

Hmph, Peacock, just you wait. I can still lead the phoenix race to prosperity!

Mortals are just weaklings. The Dao Sect is filled with thieves. I, the Golden-Winged Roc, must walk a different path.

Peacock, go to the Primordial World yourself. I’ve given you the three drops of true blood of the phoenix race. I’m just a phoenix mutant. It’s not important.

I, the Golden-Winged Roc, want to be the fastest living being in the world!

Everything happened in an instant.

The various situations after entering the Three Realms, the memories before entering the Three Realms…

The flattery that it received was just someone else making use of him. The praises that it heard were just the medicine that others fed him.

Who was really respecting him?

The Golden-Winged Roc was the son of the Primordial Phoenix. How could it not understand this matter? How could it not understand this?

However, the compliments and praises seemed to be poisonous. He gradually lost himself in the Western Sect’s “quickie”.

Such complicated arrangements… She was telling it that it was obsessed with vanity and vanity. It was just walking alone and losing himself.

The Water God kept transforming…

“Have you understood?”

Suddenly, it heard a soft voice beside its ear. The Golden-Winged Roc snapped out of its daze and realized that it had unknowingly stood under the crooked tree and in front of the Water God, in front of the wooden sign that said “lost”.

Plop!

The Golden-Winged Roc bent his legs and knelt down. His eyes were filled with tears. He, who was once arrogant, gradually lowered his head and pressed against the cloud path. “I was wrong… I just wanted to join the Western Sect on impulse. I just wanted to prove that I’m not inferior to Kong Xuan. I was long lost on the way. I had no idea where to go. I was born with extreme speed, but no one told me where to fly or what to do!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Is that how you comprehended it?

Naturally, he could not rule out the possibility that the Golden-Winged Roc was pretending.

He had to be steady and follow the plan.

Li Changshou slowly sighed and said, “The path of confusion returns. The prodigal returns to his heart. All living beings will eventually be good. The Dao is natural. Let’s go again. Don’t use your Dharma powers this time. Go and listen and think.”

The Golden-Winged Roc looked up at Li Changshou, its eyes filled with confusion. It lowered its head and bowed again.

“Yes.”

After saying that, the Golden-Winged Roc stood up and walked into the next Life Gate.

He followed Li Changshou’s instructions. This time, he slowed down and walked slowly in the array formation that he was already familiar with. Soon, he discovered some details that he had not discovered previously.

Naturally, Li Changshou had just added that.

For example, a painting, a stone slab, and a simple painting engraved on the rock wall.

The story of the creation of the world, the battle between the dragons and phoenixes, the battle between the Magi and demons…

There were some sutras, some specious sentences, and some sutras that could calm one’s Dao heart. The eyes of the Golden-Winged Roc gradually became clear.

He had comprehended the insignificance of living beings, the might of the world, and the fact that he was just a clown before. He had comprehended the vastness of the Heavenly Dao and the dominance of the Saints.

Extreme speed was actually a restriction. Transcending was not simply flying out of the world to the Chaos Sea. There was ultimately a purpose for him to travel in the world.

Half a month later, the Golden-Winged Roc returned to the crooked tree.

He smiled.

Previously, he had been agitated and had entered a demonic state. He had been shuttling through the chain of trapping arrays. No matter how fast he flew or how fast he flew, he would only be spinning on the spot.

At that moment, his evil tendencies had completely disappeared. He had strolled back here for half a month. Although he had returned to the original spot, he had seen different worlds and worlds. His heart had completely changed.

The Golden-Winged Roc lifted the hem of its robe and knelt in front of Li Changshou.

“Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. The Golden-Winged Roc has committed several major crimes. Please punish it! However, this body is still willing to be the scheme of the Phoenix Clan. Teacher, please spare my life. When the Phoenix Clan reproduces in the world again, I will die.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile. His figure turned into clouds and dissipated, but an illusion appeared around him.

At the same time, the Golden-Winged Roc sensed a familiar aura…

Peacock… The illusion was a dense forest. Kong Xuan’s slender and beautiful back was revealed. Li Changshou’s voice sounded in the forest.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t worry. I will do my best. However, Fellow Daoist, have you really decided? Such a huge sacrifice…”

“Yes.” Kong Xuan turned his head slightly and revealed his beautiful side profile. “He is still my brother at the end of the day.”

“Fellow Daoist, you have lowered yourself to the mortal world and taught the mortals. You saved some luck for the Phoenix Clan, and you… Sigh. I, Li Changgeng, will definitely do my best to help you.”

Kong Xuan smiled slightly. His smile was filled with relief, helplessness, and hope. Then, he returned to the Five-colored Divine Light and disappeared.

Hundreds of birds chirped around him.

The array slowly dissipated.

The blue sky was filled with white clouds, and the bright sunlight shone everywhere…

The Golden-Winged Roc knelt there and could not help but cry. In front of him, a golden bracelet was lying where Li Changshou was originally sitting cross-legged.

The bracelet was engraved with complicated Dao patterns. Although the design was simple, it emitted an ancient Dao rune.

The Golden-Winged Roc looked relieved. It held the bracelet with both hands and muttered, “Teacher, I understand. As long as I wear it, I will be bound by the Heavenly Courts. My extreme speed will only be used by the Heavenly Courts in the future. I’m a mutant of the phoenix race. Just like you, I can’t inherit the bloodline of the phoenix race. However, I’m willing to continue the destiny of the phoenix race and serve the Heavenly Courts. I won’t complain even if I die a hundred times.”

At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc sighed softly. It closed its eyes and placed the bracelet on its head…

In the Lingxiao Hall, countless immortals stood up.

At the same time, a few emotional old immortals were crying.

General Dongmu let out a long sigh. “Once you wear the golden bracelet, there will be a limit to your speed. If you don’t wear the golden bracelet, it will be difficult for you to share my burden.”

The Jade Emperor sighed and said, “If you wake up in time, you should be called a male of the phoenix race. You should be useful.” In the copper mirror, Li Changshou appeared again. He walked to the Golden-Winged Roc and handed over a scroll.

[Immortal God of the Heavenly Courts’ oath template]

“Teacher…”

“Yes.” Li Changshou raised his hand and patted the Golden-Winged Roc’s shoulder thrice. “Read it.”

The Golden-Winged Roc revealed a happy and comfortable smile. It nodded heavily and opened the template. It began to recite loudly and summoned the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Two hours later…

After the Golden-Winged Roc finished reading the sutra, golden light shone around him. He lowered his head and kowtowed to Li Changshou again. “Thank you, Teacher!”

However, after two rings, the golden bracelet on his head slid down, causing the Golden-Winged Roc to be stunned.

“Silly child,” Li Changshou said warmly. “You’re the fastest divine bird in the world. Why do you need a headband? This is an… anklet that Grand Supreme Elder personally refined for you.”

The Golden-Winged Roc was stunned. It picked up the golden bracelet and gestured at its feet. The golden bracelet was immediately put on his ankle.

“Is it appropriate?” Li Changshou asked warmly.

The Golden-Winged Roc’s eyes were filled with tears. It was touched and nodded. “Thank you for your concern, Teacher. The size is just right.”

Li Changshou agreed slowly and smiled as he looked at the clouds in the sky.

He felt a little guilty.

“Remember to thank your sister. However, wait a few decades before you go. She’s in seclusion.”

“Yes, Teacher. Can you give me a wooden sign that’s lost? I want to bring it with me at all times to warn you.”

“Okay.”

In the Lingxiao Hall, the white-robed Jade Emperor could not help but smile. He said warmly, “I feel that it’s better to stay behind and use this trapping array to persuade the Heavenly Punishment. What do you think?”

Silence followed…

“Your Majesty… I think there’s no need.” “Your Majesty, please reconsider. Why have you committed such a crime!?!”

Li Changshou smiled calmly. In his heart, he began to look forward to what would happen when the Golden-Winged Roc, the special envoy of the Heavenly Courts, appeared in the Immortal Alliance Meeting half a year later…
