“There are many things that you can’t explain to people who can’t understand you. There are only one or two people in the world who can understand you. Therefore, sometimes, there’s no need to say anything. Just do more.”
The man’s voice before he left echoed in his ears. Yang Jian frowned slightly and his expression was solemn.
That was Taibai Jinxing…
In front of the Western Heavenly Gate, Yang Jian, who had just returned, stared in the direction where Li Changshou’s figure had disappeared. He did not recover for a long time.
He was a young Daoist who did not look old, but his words were filled with vicissitudes and would make one think deeply.
He was a kind-looking old immortal from the Heavenly Courts who gave off an unfathomable vibe. He seemed to have merged with the world and was an enemy of the Heavenly Courts.
There was also a disciple of the Grand Pure One who seemed to be hiding between the two. He unintentionally revealed that he was a quiet and indifferent disciple who did not care about anything…
Which is the real Taibai Jinxing?
Doesn’t anyone understand?
Yang Jian frowned and stood there, feeling extremely disappointed.
He drew his sword and looked around, feeling lost.
What should he do in the future? What would he do? What path would he take? Where would this path lead to?
In front, Fairy Yun Hua and Yang Chan rode a cloud together with Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi. Behind them, there was a team of Heavenly Soldiers holding various brocade silks and treasure chests.
Although Yang Chan had been knocked unconscious by Ling Zhuzi previously, she was still brought to Fairy Yun Hua by Yu Ding and Taiyi.
Perfected Yu Ding’s actions could be considered as representing Chan School. It allowed Fairy Yun Hua to firmly escape the “pain” of being imprisoned.
At the same time, he took a look at the place. Fairy Yun Hua’s living environment was indeed quite comfortable.
Yang Jian took two steps forward and stopped.
Fairy Yun Hua’s eyes were filled with tears. She shouted softly, “Jian’er.” She rode a cloud and rushed forward, opening her arms to hug her son.
However, Yang Jian subconsciously took half a step back. He lifted the hem of his tattered Daoist robe and knelt down to Fairy Yun Hua.
Yun Hua was a little flustered. Yang Chan, who was at the side, ran behind Yang Jian sensibly and knelt down to greet Fairy Yun Hua.
“What are you doing? My son, get up. I didn’t use you to burden you…”
In front of the Western Heavenly Gate, many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals sighed when they saw this scene.
In the depths of the Grand White Palace, Ling’e, who had changed her lying position and was eating dried fruits and melon seeds while looking at the bronze mirror, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.
That’s great. The family is reunited…
Senior Brother did not disappoint me!
Although Senior Brother has a troublesome personality and is cautious, he is ultimately benevolent and loyal.
Yes!
Among the living beings of the Primordial World, Senior Brother is the best!
Then, Ling’e sighed softly and stared at the image of the Western Heavenly Gate in the bronze mirror. She was in a daze.
She was not the most outstanding female immortal in Senior Brother’s heart…
In the image, Princess Long Ji represented the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool and rushed over to congratulate her. There were two rows of fairies behind her, and they were holding various colorful gifts.
Ao Yi and the Golden Roc also rode a cloud and slowly left. Behind them, there were a few Heavenly Soldiers who were also carrying some gifts. They naturally congratulated them on behalf of the Great White Palace.
Ling Zhuzi and Bian Zhuang also rushed over from afar to join in the fun. The two of them were much simpler and brought some verbal blessings.
In terms of gifts, Bian Zhuang could give Yang Jian a “ten-thousand-year-old card” for his business. However, he was afraid that he would be hung up by the Taibai Xing Lord and the Jade Emperor…
When he arrived at the Western Heavenly Gate, Bian Zhuang’s eyes lit up when he saw the gentle and weak Yang Chan.
However, following that, he recalled Yang Jian’s heroic figure when he killed hundreds of thousands of Dao soldiers alone. He also felt that he might betray the beauty. After imagining a beautiful scene in his mind, he lowered his head and did not dare to look any further.
He unilaterally announced that he and Yang Chan might fall in love, but in the end, he could not withstand the external pressure. He could only say that they were not fated.
As he thought about it, he felt sad…
All these years, he had seen so many fairies in the Heavenly Courts. He had accumulated so many abilities, but he did not even manage to hold the hands of the fairies, let alone sleep next to them.
When I become a Golden Immortal, I will definitely sue for three months and go home to visit my relatives!
He did not know how it felt in his early years, but now, he was a lecher.
When can I…
“By the way,” Ling Zhuzi suddenly thought of something and looked at Bian Zhuang. “Uncle-Master Changgeng previously said that it’s not easy for you to become a Golden Immortal. The Yang in your body is too heavy, and there are too many distracting thoughts in your Dao heart.”
Bian Zhuang immediately became nervous. “What should we do? My biggest goal now is to cultivate and live forever this year.”
Ling Zhuzi smiled and said, “Uncle-Master said that he has been thinking about a cultivation technique that is tailored for you recently. It seems to be called the Sunflower Mysterious Technique.”
“Really?”
“Really. I also saw Junior Brother Yang Jian’s current cultivation realm and felt a little emotional. I suddenly thought of that.”
Ling Zhuzi’s eyes were filled with envy. He smiled and said, “It’s indeed extraordinary to be personally guided by Uncle-Master Changgeng. I’m far from Junior Brother Yang Jian’s match now. I should think of a way.”
Bian Zhuang immediately patted his chest. “If Lord Taibai Jinxing bestows a technique, the two of us will enjoy it together!”
Ling Zhuzi’s eyes lit up. However, he shook his head and said, “There’s no need. The laws of fate are different.”
However, he was still a little depressed.
As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the Western Heavenly Gate. Many immortals rode a cloud over and became familiar with the new nobles of the Heavenly Courts.
Yang Jian…
Who could not tell?
They were the Heavenly Courts’ generals that the Jade Emperor and the Taibai Xing Lord had been nurturing with all their might!
Even the Jade Emperor agreed with a smile when he said that he would listen to orders only. His eyes were filled with the loving care of an elder.
At that moment, Yang Jian was still young and energetic. When Lord Taibai Jinxing polished Yang Jian’s rough edges and his cultivation level improved, Yang Jian would definitely be a great general in the Heavenly Courts.
Not long after, the Western Heavenly Gate became lively. Yang Jian was a little uneasy, but under Perfected Taiyi’s reminder, he did not turn around and leave.
In a situation like Yang Jian’s, it was always good to have more good karma.
Unlike the liveliness at the Western Heavenly Gate, the Lingxiao Hall was wrapped in golden light and was exceptionally quiet.
The rich power of the Heavenly Tribulation completely isolated the place.
The white-robed Jade Emperor sat on the higher step of the white jade stairs and looked at the two old immortals of the Heavenly Courts below. From time to time, he would chuckle and feel rather happy.
“Awesome, awesome!”
The Jade Emperor clicked his tongue and smiled. “Why did the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School rush over? I was already prepared to appear at any time to confront the Second Sect Master of the Western Sect. I can also show my prowess in front of my nephew! Haha! Hahahaha!”
Li Changshou looked at General Dongmu, who immediately understood.
He would do the unpleasant task of sweeping the Jade Emperor’s personality.
General Dongmu persuaded, “Your Majesty, the Saint is a Saint after all. We can’t be too careless.”
The Jade Emperor’s smile immediately disappeared.
“I’ve been too smooth recently. It’s all thanks to you, Minister Changgeng. What do you think about the various responses on the spiritual mountain today?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “I’m afraid something will happen.”
The Jade Emperor and General Dongmu looked serious at the same time and frowned at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou cupped his hands and looked solemn. He deliberated over his words and said slowly,
“Your Majesty, do you still remember what happened to the dragon race previously? The Western Sect suffered a setback in the Heavenly Courts. They turned around and recalled Ksitigarbha to preside over the overall situation. They launched a surprise attack on the dragon race and broke through the East Ocean Eye of the dragon race, causing the experts of the dragon race to suffer heavy casualties. The spiritual mountain has suffered such a huge loss this time… In their opinion, they definitely have to think of a way to get back at them.”
General Dongmu hurriedly asked, “Changgeng, do you think they will take revenge on the Heavenly Courts?”
“Will Yang Jian be in trouble?” the Jade Emperor asked.
Li Changshou said, “Yang Jian should not be targeted. From the incident on the spiritual mountain today, it could be seen that the Western Sect and Chan School were much closer than before. No matter how the disciples below rubbed against each other and how there were conflicts, it was just a word from the Saint. The Second Sect Master of the Western Sect, who did not care about his pride, secretly attacked Yang Jian and sent him flying today. Yang Jian did not even suffer a light injury. He only spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that the Western Sect was kind to Chan School. I feel that even if Yang Jian moves to stay in front of the spiritual mountain, his family would be safe and sound. On the other hand, the Western Sect sent people to apologize. They also pushed out one or two scapegoats. They said that they took the initiative and said that the old grudges between the Western Sect and the Heavenly Courts pointed out that they were targeting the Heavenly Courts and not Yang Jian. From that, they acted for Chan School.”
Li Changshou paused and shook his head slightly. His expression was complicated.
The Jade Emperor sighed and said, “The Western Sect can naturally do that… Ah, the battle between the major sects. Our Heavenly Courts seem to have gained power now, but we are still unable to affect the Saint’s sect. He is still a supporting role in the world.”
“Your Majesty, don’t think that way. Although the Heavenly Courts have gained power, they only have a framework. They don’t have the strength to say that. At this moment, we should be careful with our words and actions. We should maintain a distance from the sect and express our goodwill.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued, “I think that the Western Sect might attack the Heavenly Courts in a few ways.”
The Jade Emperor’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “I knew that Changgeng had already dealt with it. Quick, tell me.”
“Firstly, he used the decay of the dragon race to smear the Heavenly Courts. Secondly, he attacked the Immortal Alliance in the trichiliocosm. Thirdly, he… I can’t say for sure.”
“Why can’t I say it?” The Jade Emperor asked curiously. “There’s no harm in saying it. Do you need to be so worried between us?”
Li Changshou looked at General Dongmu and smiled awkwardly.
General Dongmu was stunned at first. Then, he looked enlightened. He panicked and his Adam’s apple trembled.
General Dongmu thought that he could still be saved and asked softly, “Changgeng, are you saying that the Western Sect wants to take revenge on the Heavenly Courts and might attack me?”
“That’s right.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. The Jade Emperor fell into deep thought.
General Dongmu was speechless.
He felt like he was in danger.
“What… what should we do?”
General Dongmu asked with a trembling voice. Then, his legs turned weak. He knelt in front of the Jade Emperor and shouted, “I have a weak life! I’m already satisfied to be able to serve Your Majesty for so many years. I’m willing to die so that I won’t be schemed against by others and embarrass the Heavenly Courts!”
“Nonsense!”
The Jade Emperor frowned and shouted softly.
“General Dongmu, get up. If I can’t even protect you, I won’t be the Heavenly Emperor. This is just Changgeng’s speculation. It’s not that the Western Sect is about to attack you. Moreover, as long as you stay in the Heavenly Courts, who will plot against you?”
Then, the Jade Emperor frowned and glared at Li Changshou. He gestured for Li Changshou to quickly appease the old hero of the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou hurriedly helped General Dongmu up and persuaded him.
“General Dongmu, don’t be anxious. You are a Golden Immortal with longevity and you have the protection of the Heavenly Courts.”
“At present, there is only a 10% to 20% possibility that they will target you, General Dongmu. Later, we will ask His Majesty to seal the five Heavenly Gates and investigate the entry and exit of the Immortal Soldiers. With Your Majesty guarding the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, who can bully General Dongmu?”
General Dongmu calmed down.
However, when he thought about the possibility of being slapped into a pulp by the Saint’s incarnation, he still frowned and felt flustered.
Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor advised each other. Li Changshou explained how to guard against the Western Sect’s attack.
The Heavenly Courts are strictly guarding against them. It would be the best solution for General Dongmu not to go out.
Regarding the problem of the dragon race, the Heavenly Courts only needed to send a warning letter in advance and let the dragon race investigate and cherish the difficult situation in front of them. They only needed to show the Heavenly Courts’ attitude.
As for the chaotic battle in the trichiliocosm, the Heavenly Courts could not do anything about it. They could only remind the Heavenly Courts in advance and give them more pills and Spirit Stones to use in fights.
Moreover, the more chaotic the environment was, the more suitable it was for the rise of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
There were pros and cons to everything.
Li Changshou mentioned a few more important matters regarding the development of the Heavenly Courts. The Jade Emperor agreed one after another. Seeing that General Dongmu was worried about personal gains and losses, he handed the main matters to General Dongmu to deal with.
Li Changshou…
He secretly liked it and gave General Dongmu an encouraging look.
The main purpose of the Heavenly Courts’ three giants secretly discussing the meeting was actually to discuss how to use Yang Jian to smash the spiritual mountain to “promote” them. They wanted to use the spiritual mountain to continue increasing the prestige of the Heavenly Courts and recruit more experts to enter the Heavenly Dao sequence.
Speaking of that, Li Changshou had to recommend someone. It was Perfected Du’e of the Kunlun Mountain.
The news that the Heavenly Courts had released over the years were all first-hand information that Perfected Du’e had. The speed at which the news spread was extremely fast.
Li Changshou had arranged for Little Du’e to be caught off guard several times.
At the same time, Ji Wuyou’s reincarnation had already been arranged to go to Kunlun Mountain.
Li Changshou naturally went to send the Sect Leader off. However, he was busy at that time and could not personally arrange a “next life” for the Sect Leader. It was all thanks to the two Yama Lords who had personally designed a good blueprint for reincarnation.
After watching the Sect Leader walk into the Reincarnation Disc, Li Changshou asked the Sect Leader what his name would be in his next life. When he heard the word “Zheng Lun”, he pinched his fingers to deduce his memories. For a moment, he actually…
He could not complain.
Isn’t he General Heng of the Heng-Ha Generals?
In other words, the Sect Leader had advanced from an ordinary Golden Immortal to the basic unit of combat power of the Primordial Golden Immortal… to one of the Future Gods of the Heavenly Courts, who was destined to be famous on the God roll. Hmph?
He was destined to face calamity in his next life.
Li Changshou could not tell if that was good or bad.
Senior has his own blessings. As a junior, he could not interfere.
…
In fact, Li Changshou was not scaring General Dongmu. He had previously deduced various situations.
When the “Yang Jian” incident happened, there was a 90% chance that the Heavenly Courts would suffer a full-scale counterattack from the Western Sect.
Most of the immortals of the Heavenly Courts subconsciously felt that the Western Sect, which was already used to being criticized by the Heavenly Courts, was nothing to be afraid of. However, Li Changshou did not relax at all.
After all, he was the man who could still observe the Immortal Downpour Peak for a hundred years after killing Daoist Kuai Si.
The strength of the Western Sect could not be underestimated.
First, he, the Grand Pure One, destroyed the Western Sect. Then, the third generation disciples of Chan School destroyed the Western Sect. That would naturally cause the Western Sect’s prestige to plummet.
How did he obtain his prestige?
He could only fight.
Most of the Primordial Immortal Dao factions would use the word righteousness as a flag. However, their positions could not be obtained just by shouting righteousness and morals. They still relied on mystical abilities and Dharma treasures.
The Heavenly Courts had caused the Western Sect to suffer consecutive losses. Regardless of whether it was because of their internal stability, their reputation outside, or the fact that they had successfully joined forces with Chan School, the Western Sect had to show off their muscles.
The Saints who did not dare to attack would be the greatest laughing stock of the Primordial World. The Western Sect would gradually collapse and turn against them.
However, no one dared to laugh at him.
In the Heavenly Courts, who would benefit the most while paying the smallest price?
The answer was obvious.
Moreover, General Dongmu had a Pure Yang Tribulation in his life. Li Changshou was really worried that General Dongmu would suffer a calamity during the Western Sect’s counterattack. That was why he reminded him in front of the Jade Emperor.
Hence, after the meeting in the Lingxiao Hall, General Dongmu began to feel increasingly uneasy. He was a little suspicious every day.
The array formations in General Dongmu’s residence had been added a few levels. They had also temporarily moved to the vicinity of Li Changshou’s Grand White Palace.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in General Dongmu’s residence had also been replaced with elites that General Dongmu trusted and nurtured.
The few madams in General Dongmu’s residence were also uneasy when they heard that they could not sleep with him.
Fortunately, General Dongmu did not remember the matters of the Heavenly Courts at all times. Apart from his own residence, he was active in the Hall of Enlightenment. He began to work as a model worker of the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou was quite satisfied with that. He, who had been busy for decades, could finally take a break.
He had already prepared a comprehensive response to the Western Sect’s counterattack decades in advance.
After cultivating for a few months on the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou also appeared in the chess room. He either sat at a table with Ling’e, Lingli, and Long Ji, or improved his relationship with Ling’e. He smiled and urged Ling’e to cultivate and gave her some guidance on Dao enlightenment.
At the same time, he would help her overcome the “steam” attribute.
It was rare for him to be free. Li Changshou also put his visit to the Three-Immortal Island on his agenda.
The matter regarding Yang Jian had come to an end. Li Changshou had finally let go of something. The only thing that was bothering him was the Heavenly Eye that he had missed back then…
Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a loss.
Unfortunately, there was only one drop of Di Jiang’s essence blood left. Li Changshou did not want to “waste” it on himself.
He had already used two and a half Ancestral Magi blood essence. If he used them now, the effect would not be obvious.
That day, Li Changshou changed his robe and hid his main body in his incarnation. He disguised himself as a Heavenly General and took his token. He wanted to leave the Heavenly Courts quietly and go to the Three-Immortal Island to take a look.
Just as he flew out of the Little Qiong Peak and arrived at the Grand White Palace, he suddenly had an impulse.
This time, the Grand Pure Dao runes slowly circulated like a breeze.
In the Nine Heavens, the Grand Pure One played with the Dao string.
In the Great White Palace, a scene slowly surfaced in Li Changshou’s heart…
“This is…”
In the Outer World’s Xuandu City, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s long hair was disheveled. He leaned against the Taiji Painting and floated in the sky above Xuandu City. He looked up at the endless black shadows and the slightly short figure in the middle of the black shadows.
The entrance to the Primordial World was under the Great Daoist Master’s feet.
At that moment, the power of the Taiji Painting had reached the limit that the Great Daoist Master could unleash. The Xuandu City was empty, and the Dao soldiers had all died.
That figure…
Demon Master, Kun Peng?!
