This decree…
In a corner of the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou, who had transformed into a pocket-sized little person, sat on a small bamboo chair and played with the golden scroll in his hand.
Did the Jade Emperor protect Yun Xiao because I protected Long Ji?
That explanation seemed reasonable, but on careful thought, that was not the case.
It would take a long time to condense a Heavenly Dao decree, let alone a decree that involved the Great Tribulation.
The moment the decree began to condense, it had to be before he took in Long Ji. From this, it could be seen that the “friendship” between him and the Jade Emperor could still be trusted…
About 70%.
After all, it was very easy for the Jade Emperor to lose control of his position.
The Tribulation Exemption decree could be used as a betrothal gift to the Three-Immortal Island to propose marriage. It was a joke.
The relationship between the two of them had not reached such a stage. Moreover, this Tribulation Exemption decree only protected Yun Xiao. What did Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao think?
This item could only be used as a life-saving item at the crucial moment. It could protect Yun Xiao from the tribulation. As for the others…
It was still another matter. Thinking about it carefully, the influence of the decree was not huge. Since he had a good impression of Yun Xiao, he was most worried that the Three Xiao Immortals were one. The Three Xiao Immortals had a deep relationship with Master Zhao. Therefore, Li Changshou had been trying his best to help Zhao Gongming accumulate merit and escape the death tribulation.
If he wanted to save Yun Xiao, he had to save all four of them.
If he revealed this opportunity to Yun Xiao in advance, Yun Xiao might destroy it personally.
Fortunately, there was some improvement.
Although Li Changshou could not say that he was absolutely confident that he could pull Zhao Gongming out of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he still had a chance of protecting him.
Come on, be steady.
The Shang Dynasty had yet to be officially established. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation would arrive in at least a few hundred years. Due to the different degree of intelligence gathering, the subsequent games would definitely be very complicated. The heavenly secrets were blinded. The Saints could only “observe” the Great Tribulation. The extent that each Saint could see was naturally different.
A few decades later, as long as the God roll was released, his Grand Pure One would probably be able to instantly understand what happened before and after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
Second Aunt-Master should have deduced a little more than Third Aunt-Master. The Receiving Saint should be on par with the two Aunt-Masters. Goddess Nuwa was probably too engrossed in the power of the house to pay attention to this matter.
Yes, as for a certain Saint…
He stayed respectful and did not comment.
From the information revealed by the decree, the Jade Emperor had long known many details of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It was even possible that the Jade Emperor and the Dao Ancestor were discussing how to expand the Heavenly Courts and suppress the Dao Sect. Li Changshou had yet to confirm what had happened when His Majesty went to the Purple Cloud Palace to complain and what he had said to the Dao Ancestor.
This matter could be ranked among the top ten unsolved mysteries of the Primordial World…
No matter what, this decree was an extremely precious item. It was also a promise that the Jade Emperor had given him. Li Changshou carefully put it away and kept it close to him. He was in a daze for a while, and scenes from the immortal banquet surfaced in his heart.
After the Jade Pool Banquet, the Great Daoist Master immediately rushed back to the Xuandu City.
During this period, the otherworldly demons began to stir again. The strange living beings in the Chaos Sea seemed to want to take advantage of the situation.
Yun Xiao naturally returned to the Three-Immortal Island with Qiong and Fairy Bi. Yun Xiao had also received many congratulatory gifts during the celebration, which made Li Changshou feel a little embarrassed.
It felt like he had “coincidentally accepted someone in his previous life”.
What made Li Changshou feel interesting was the performance of Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit. He did not know how the two of them were doing. They did not communicate during the immortal banquet. However, they would occasionally look at each other. When they left, they would each be together with their friends. Are they embarrassed to announce it to the public? That was reasonable. After all, they were all mighty figures of the Primordial World. If they became Dao companions like Postnatal living beings, they would inevitably be mocked behind their backs.
Will Yun Xiao have the same concerns?
Li Changshou thought about the problem that he had considered many times before. His mind returned to the Heavenly Courts, and he controlled the paper effigy to set up an array formation in the Great White Palace.
A little more details!
His incarnation traveled thousands of kilometers while his main body sat at home.
The mystical ability of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had been modified by Li Changshou to a state that was beyond recognition but was rather mystical. It could be considered a miracle.
The bean soldiers divine power was now widely used in the various branches of the Heavenly Courts. It became a standard for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, greatly reducing the casualties of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Later, the matter regarding Yang Jian would also have to be centered around the paper effigy. If Yang Jian really killed the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, and the Heavenly Courts issued another edict, it would be inconsistent with the values that the Heavenly Courts advocated… After getting busy in the Heavenly Courts for a while, he saw Long Ji change into a lightweight dress and fly to the Great White Palace on a cloud before entering the Great White Hall. Li Changshou’s paper effigy found a seat and sat down. He picked up the posture of an expert of Ren School. His white hair and white eyebrows looked calm, and the smile on his lips was naturally benevolent and gentle. Long Ji bowed forward. Her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were bright. Li Changshou sized up his eldest disciple. This was actually the first time Li Changshou had scrutinized Long Ji after she had “grown up in seclusion”. She was a beauty. She looked similar to the Queen Mother, but she did not have the power of the Queen Mother. She looked more gentle and elegant. “Teacher,” Long Ji whispered. “What’s wrong?” “In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown so big.” Li Changshou casually summoned a meditation cushion and made her sit down in front of him. Then, Li Changshou took out the manual of Ren School that he had asked for permission in front of the portrait of the Grand Pure One. It was the ‘Great Pure Dao’ that the Great Daoist Master had imparted to him.
Li Changshou said, “Today, I’ll teach you the Grand Pure Dao Technique. I hope you can comprehend and cultivate well. You have already cultivated to the Heaven Immortal realm and are not far from longevity. It’s not appropriate to ask you to change your Dao. You still have to focus on the Dao that you originally cultivated and use the ‘Great Pure Dao’ to comprehend. The Dao is neither high nor low. The most important thing in cultivation is to walk out of your own Dao. Do you understand the principles here?”
Long Ji hurriedly nodded and held the jade token in her hand. She answered seriously, “I will remember Master’s teachings.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “There’s no need to be too reserved. Just like when you called me Teacher previously. You can’t lie to me. Cultivating in seclusion can only let your Dao Body grow, but your temperament is hard to change.” “Hehe!”
Long Ji immediately broke the spell and made a face. She said softly, “It’s really best if I can officially become Master’s disciple.” “Why did you splash tea on Daoist Randeng that day?”
Long Ji frowned and whispered, “I really don’t know. Just as you guessed previously, I was indeed in a daze. When I opened my eyes, I had already caused trouble. The Jade Pool is extremely strict. If Master did not protect me at that time, Randeng would have used the opportunity to blame me. Mother would have definitely punished me heavily. I might not even be able to stay in the Heavenly Palace.” Li Changshou nodded slowly and said warmly, “His Majesty and the Goddess are in charge of the Heavenly Courts. They are too strict with their children but it’s actually understandable.”
“Long Ji knows, Master.” Long Ji smiled and said, “I was born in the Heavenly Emperor’s house. I can’t let Father and Mother be humiliated. It was his wish to be able to become Master’s disciple. Master, can I stay in this Great White Palace?” “You should spend more time with your mother.” Li Changshou looked apologetic and said, “If there’s nothing else, I have to cultivate. I can only explain the Grand Pure Dao to you regularly.” “Oh.” Long Ji pursed her lips and pouted. Suddenly, she blinked and asked, “Master, where is your main body cultivating? Can I serve you in front of your knees?”
Li Changshou pursed his lips. “Your Aunt-Master will be there to take care of me. Don’t worry.”
“Aunt-Master?” Long Ji’s eyes lit up. “Is… is it Aunt-Master?”
“Yes.”
Long Ji’s eyes immediately lit up in a gossipy manner. She asked in surprise, “Master, apart from Mistress Yun Xiao, do you have another mistress?” “Probably…” “Does Master’s wife not mind?” “I should mind. This is a troublesome problem.” Li Changshou looked helpless. “Don’t ask anymore. If I can let you know in the future, I will let you know.” “Oh, I’ve said too much.”
Long Ji stuck out her tongue and blinked. She asked softly, “Then, what about Fairy Heng’e?” Pop! Long Ji exclaimed and covered her forehead with a guilty smile. Li Changshou shook his head and said, “Go to the corner and take a look. I’ve prepared a little surprise for you.” “Huh? Master, why are you still bothering?” Long Ji was instantly energized. She ran to the corner happily and stepped into a misleading array formation that Li Changshou had just set up. She saw a simple cubicle with a bed, chair, and wooden cabinet. It was arranged very elegantly. Long Ji hurriedly asked, “Teacher, is this my resting place?” “That’s the place where I placed my incarnation. Your surprise is in the left corner. Pick up the pink treasure pouch on the table… Open it and take a look.”
“Eh, there are three huge chests inside. They are…”
In the illusion array formation, Long Ji’s forehead was filled with black lines. She looked at the opened wooden box in front of her and looked at the familiar “homework” scroll inside. Her eyes gradually lost their glow.
Li Changshou’s calm voice floated over.
“These are the strategies that you have yet to complete. I have carefully sorted them out for you. Finish it within a year and come back a year later. I will test you on the strategy and your comprehension of the Grand Pure Dao.”
Ding…
On the fourth day of accepting a disciple, he achieved the achievement of reaching the end of his lifespan. On the fourth day of accepting a disciple, he received the Life Epaulette: “Master, please be a human.”
At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc rushed over from outside the hall. Its eyes were filled with envy.
However, he also knew that his comprehension was too poor and his aptitude was too poor. Although he was the son of the Primordial Phoenix, he temporarily did not have the qualifications to officially become a disciple of his teacher!
He was not worthy!
Li Changshou’s voice floated over from ahead. “The Golden Roc is in a hurry. Is there any trouble?”
“Teacher!”
The Golden-Winged Roc immediately stopped its daydreaming. It took out a jade token and handed it to Li Changshou. “Just now, the Immortal Alliance reported that they discovered a few ferocious demons in a Major Chiliocosm. They are powerful and have already caused dozens of immortals to die in the Immortal Alliance. The Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, Old Madam Bian, is here. I want you to deploy one or two experts to help.” “Evil Demon?”
Li Changshou opened the jade token and looked at it carefully. He could not help but be speechless.
It was a lie that dozens of immortals had died in the Immortal Alliance. The words implied that there were ancient treasures in the place where the ferocious demons were. Moreover, it was very likely that they were fragments of the God-Slaying Spear. Li Changshou pondered for a while and took out a few paper effigies from his sleeve. He pushed them into the hands of the Golden-Winged Roc with his immortal power. “Golden Roc, I’ll leave this matter to you. It should be related to the God-Slaying Spear fragment.”
“Thank you for your trust, Teacher!”
The Golden Roc lowered his head and bowed, his eyes filled with excitement.
Li Changshou asked, “Don’t be anxious. How do you want to deal with this matter?”
The Golden Roc pondered carefully and knew that his teacher was testing him. The golden ring on his ankle shone gently. He said, “I’ll naturally meet up with Old Madam Bian and ask about the details. I’ll help the Heavenly Courts appease the injured immortals. Then, I’ll quickly kill the ferocious demons and promote the Heavenly Courts’ power.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s not bad to think of that, but it’s not enough. You have to remember three principles at all times. Firstly, when you are outside, you cannot trust anyone. You have to be suspicious at all times. Secondly, you have to investigate and ask yourself if it is risky and inappropriate. Thirdly, if you encounter danger, retreat immediately and maximize your speed. You cannot be greedy or angry. Now that the Great Tribulation is spreading, it’s not wrong to be careful.” When the Golden Roc heard that, its eyes were filled with gratitude. It lowered its head and bowed deeply. “Teacher, don’t worry. I will seek victory steadily. If I encounter a powerful enemy, I will retreat immediately!” “Yes.” Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction. “Go.”
“Teacher, Senior Sister, I’ll take my leave.” The Golden Roc cupped his hands at Long Ji, who was floating over from the side. He turned around and walked away. He walked out of the “bleak wind” and the remaining pride of the phoenix race. Long Ji pursed her red lips and could not help but tilt her head.
‘Is this really the Golden Roc that barged into the Heavenly Courts and threatened to kiss Heng’e Fangze?’ Long Ji sighed and looked at her master with admiration and respect.
It was said that one’s nature could not be changed. That was because one had yet to meet an expert!
My master is really…
He is too stable.
A few months later, Li Changshou received good news from the Golden Roc. The God-Slaying Spear fragment in his hand was successfully added.
Li Changshou did not wait long. He brought the Golden Roc to the Tushita Palace. This time, the Grand Supreme Elder went out to travel again. He had already expected Li Changshou to come. He asked Li Changshou to place the Little God-Slaying Spear and the two God-Slaying Spear fragments in the Tushita Palace. When the Grand Supreme Elder returned, he would refine them. Li Changshou could not help but ask, “Elder Lord… went to look for the ox?”
Little Gold and Little Silver looked at each other. The former laughed while the latter put on a bitter face.
Little Gold said, “The Grand Supreme Elder sat on the cloud and went out this time. From the meaning of the Grand Supreme Elder’s words, he seems to be going to the Chaos Sea to search for the God-Slaying Spear fragment and help Senior Brother Changgeng forge a divine weapon blade.” Little Silver sighed and said, “Senior Brother, when you have time, go and urge Old Ox. I don’t know where he has gone. There are no Spirit Pills and immortal peaches outside. I really don’t know what treasure he has been charmed by.”
It was the silver-haired girl.
Li Changshou thought for a while and agreed. “I’ll think of a way to find his traces. Is there any useful treasure?” “This!”
Little Silver took out an immortal rope that was shining with golden light. “This is a golden rope used by the Grand Supreme Elder to tie his robe. The end of the rope can be pointed in the direction of the living beings. If you encounter them, you can tie them up. We have gathered the auras of the cows.”
“That’s good.” Li Changshou took the golden rope and smiled. “It will probably take some time.”
“Senior Brother Changgeng, you can get back to business first.” Little Silver chuckled. “Anyway, the next time the Grand Supreme Elder wants to use the ox, it’s time for Little Gold to go.”
Xiao Jin’s face instantly turned bitter. The Golden Roc laughed.
Before leaving, the Golden Roc even bowed to the two children.
The friendship of the three demon kings began to ripple… Yes, he even crossed the mountain.
…
Li Changshou naturally did not dare to delay the important matters of the Tushita Palace.
When the paper effigy secretly sent the golden rope to the vicinity of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou immediately began to make arrangements. He quickly sent out the first paper effigy army outside the Little Qiong Peak. Of course, the army existed in the form of a set. The ones who actually went out were the ‘carriage driver paper effigies who had the power of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. She held the golden rope in her hand and pointed towards the south.
Li Changshou used Water Escape and traveled as fast as lightning, searching for the green ox. The ox was indeed outrageous. It only cared about pursuing its own happiness. It had even set aside its career as a mount. Somewhere on the East Ocean Coast of the South Continent, Li Changshou had an idea. His body transformed from the water and turned into a breeze. He floated to a familiar area and looked at the place that he had placed there… The Little River God.
Previously, he had deliberately retaliated against the River God once. He had brought the River God to see three good places that had long been occupied by the dragon race. He reckoned that this fellow was quite depressed. He was indeed a little angry back then. Now that his anger had dissipated, he should change to a more normal place and mix some incense merit to condense a simple merit Dharma body. The mighty Taibai Jinxing, an ordinary god of authority in the Heavenly Courts, could he be calculative with the Little River God, who was not even ranked or was an Itinerant Immortal of the Heavenly Courts? Not long after, Li Changshou found the place where the weak divine power of the River God was. He happened to see a young woodcutter passing by with a bundle of firewood.
His divine power fluctuated slightly.
Li Changshou focused his gaze and his eyes shone with a blue light. He immediately saw the Scholar River God hiding at the riverbank and using his divine power to “steal” the ax.
What?
Are all the myths and fables that I heard in my previous life created like this?
With a thud, the ax landed in the river.
The young woodcutter was unmoved. He even sighed and turned his head in exhaustion.
At that moment, golden light shone on the river. A figure in an elegant robe emerged from the river… “Young Woodcutter, did you drop this golden and jade-inlaid ax, this black iron heavy ax, or this ordinary ancestral ax?” The young woodcutter frowned and pursed his lips. “Whenever a woodcutter passes by, you would attack. Every time, you will use a spell to create such a diversion. Then, you will secretly put the ax back into our house. Is there any meaning in doing that? The immortals and ghosts that the young people of the neighboring village encountered were all young women. You are the only male immortal in our village. Our village is very embarrassed now. We can’t even lift our heads high. The ladies don’t want to marry any men from our village. They are afraid that you will suddenly appear when we cross the river! You’ve been using this for so long. Can you make some changes?” After saying that, the woodcutter shook his head and carried the firewood. He shook his head and left, leaving the River God looking down at the ax in his hand. He retreated into the river with a dejected expression.
He failed again…
Dong! Knock! Knock! There was the sound of something heavy smashing into the river.
The River God looked over and saw golden and silver axes landing at the bottom of the river. At the same time, a Dharma spell appeared in his heart. This… this is?
Transformation technique!
At the same time, a few chuckles sounded beside the River God’s ear. It was so familiar and warm.
“As an immortal, happiness is the most important.”
On the cloud, Li Changshou’s figure disappeared in a flash. He followed the direction of the golden rope and fled deep into the South Ocean.
