In the Cave Abode, half of Wen Jing’s face was bright, while the other half was dark. The thoughts and worries in her eyes never retreated.
To be honest, she was a little flustered.
It had been a long time since he had been secretly subdued by Taibai Jinxing.
In the beginning, Taibai Jinxing was still the Sea God. He converged the merit from incense offerings on the South Ocean and prepared to soar into the sky.
At that time, he did not know why he had been targeted by Taibai Jinxing. Now that he thought about it, he should have schemed against the small Immortal Du Sect.
She was one of the best Primordial Beasts, the eldest sister of the Blood Sea. Back then, she did not dare to provoke Patriarch Nether River in the Blood Sea. She did not expect that she would end up falling into a small scheme.
Daoist Wen Jing still remembered her tragic encounter back then.
First, she met Zhao Gongming for no reason. Zhao Gongming fell down without a word. Qiong Xiao cried and came from the side. She was caught off guard and puzzled.
Although she pretended to be a kind woman and escaped in the end, her Dao heart was unbalanced. The Sea God easily broke her heart defense…
It was all a scheme!
That was the method of Lord Taibai Jinxing!
Wen Jing had always felt that the disciples of the Saints of the Western Sect were not enough to be schemed against by Taibai Jinxing.
The facts proved that it was indeed so.
There was no need to mention those old Daoists whose names were not important. From Jin Chanzi to the Void Bodhi, to Ksitigarbha and Maitreya, which of them had not been killed and crippled by the Sea God?
If the fight continued, in another thousand or eight hundred years, all the core disciples of the Saint of the Western Sect would probably be defeated.
Of course, the main reason why Wen Jing was loyal to Ren School was because of her Eldest Consort…
Wen Jing covered her mouth and laughed foolishly. She stood at the entrance of the cave and continued to be in a daze.
However, during the days when the Western Sect continued to lurk, his status rose and he even became the leader of the Dark Clan.
Although life and death were still up to the Saint, he could attend many occasions that only core disciples could attend.
Since he had already reached this stage, why did the Lord Taibai Jinxing not let him attack?
In fact, every time she took the initiative to bring some valuable information over, Taibai Jinxing would remind her not to worry about such trivial matters and to lie low and not arouse the Saint’s suspicion.
In other words, what Taibai Jinxing wanted her to do was a hundred or a thousand times more important than reporting.
In contrast, the danger and difficulty were probably thousands of times higher.
How could she not panic?
Daoist Wen Jing really could not imagine what abilities she had to be able to make Taibai Jinxing think so highly of her. She did not know what kind of important task it was to place on her shoulder that was fair, smooth, sexy, and charming.
She could not do that.
Today, the troops had surrounded the spiritual mountain. The Heavenly Courts’ army, which had just destroyed the main force of the demons, was aggressive. It was obvious that they wanted to settle old scores with the spiritual mountain.
Daoist Wen Jing could not help but think…
In fact, she was looking forward to receiving a voice transmission and telling her how to do things later.
He took out the evidence that he had collected over the years and publicized what he had done secretly in the spiritual mountain.
Then, the Grand Pure One announced that he would let her enter the Grand Pure One Temple to be a little Daoist child and rush to the Xuandu City in a thousand or eight hundred years.
Fight to the death with Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan!
Hmph!
Why would I lose to that little… woman who has just decided!?!
Suddenly, the sound of a flute appeared in his heart. Daoist Wen Jing was shocked. She stood at the entrance of the cave and scanned around vigilantly. She calmly closed her eyes.
On a secret beach in the South Ocean, a handsome “young girl” was playing a flute.
Not long after, a few fish arrived at the shallows. The young girl sent a voice transmission to the fish while playing the music.
“Calm down. Staying alive is the most important.”
Then, the young girl disappeared into the reef under her feet.
The fish turned around and returned to the sea. They did not leave any traces.
At the foot of the spiritual mountain, in a secret Cave Abode, Daoist Wen Jing felt dizzy. She held her forehead with a few slender fingers and opened her red lips slightly.
Indeed…
Lord Taibai Jinxing really wants me to embarrass the Saint!
The battle today had nothing to do with her. Apart from embarrassing the Saint, she really did not know what else she could do for Ren School, the Dao Sect, and the Lord Taibai Jinxing…
He could not possibly let her be the Deputy Sect Master of the Western Sect and announce the disbandment of the spiritual mountain while the Head Sect Master was not at home, right?
“Ah.”
Daoist Wen Jing sighed gloomily and looked a little sad.
“Wen Jing.”
The shouts sounded in his ears. Daoist Wen Jing’s slender hands trembled. Then, she immediately stood up and curved enchantingly. She folded her hands in front of her abdomen and said gently,
“Second Master, Wen Jing is here.”
“Yes.” The voice answered and seemed to hesitate. “When the Heavenly Courts attack later, you have to do something.”
“Second Master, please instruct me.” Daoist Wen Jing sighed softly. “If there is no place in this world, I’m afraid Wen Jing will not have a place to stay.”
The voice was silent for a while before continuing to send a few instructions.
Daoist Wen Jing looked enlightened. She smiled and agreed. Her eyes were filled with determination, but she also revealed a hint of contemplation.
After all, for a person like her, it would be a problem even if she agreed to the task given by the Saint.
At that moment, there was a little hesitation in her eyes. Together with some hesitation, she made a helpless compromise.
He was indeed one of the most beneficial candidates for the Best Actress of the Primordial World.
…
On the other side, after Li Changshou melted the paper effigy that had taken the initiative to send a message to Daoist Wen Jing, he began to arrange the subsequent matters.
Li Changshou had already seen the Shadow-Retaining Ball that the Golden Roc had brought back. The effect was not bad. At a glance, he could tell that the Golden Roc, the Great Daoist Master, and Kong Xuan were working together.
The only disadvantage was that there was no backup. It was easily destroyed.
Fortunately, Li Changshou had already developed the “Shadow-Retaining Sphere’s content duplication” mystical ability and made 99 copies of the three Shadow-Retaining Balls.
There was a saying that there was no “video editing” in the Primordial World. Therefore, these Shadow-Retaining Spheres could not be faked.
In the past half a year, Li Changshou had thought about it carefully. He chose a group of brave generals in the Heavenly Courts and specially informed Yang Jian to go to the spiritual mountain to observe.
Li Changshou’s immortal senses looked at Ling’e, who was in seclusion. He calculated the sturdiness of Ling’e’s Dao base and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, his main body carried the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and the Floating Flame Flag. He floated out of the Grand White Palace on a cloud and ordered the Golden Roc to bring the dozens of Heavenly Generals to the vicinity of the spiritual mountain first. He hid his tracks and descended towards Mount Emei.
They were accompanied by colorful clouds and immortal cranes.
When he arrived in front of the Luofu Cave, Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk and entered the array formation with the jade token that Zhao Gongming had given him previously.
The scenery on Mount Emei was pleasant. The mountains were like forests, and the clouds were like the sea. As the top Grotto-heaven of the Primordial World, the number of Cave Abodes there was quite astonishing. However, the best areas were occupied by mighty figures like Zhao Gongming. No one dared to say anything.
Compared to some mighty figures who had self-proclaimed mystical mountains, Zhao Gongming’s behavior of only occupying a Cave Abode was very friendly.
There was no mention of the Spirit Vulture Mountain here.
As soon as he entered Zhao Gongming’s array formation, Li Changshou saw two men lying in front of the cave…
However, don’t misunderstand. This was a unique position that Zhao Gongming was in as he was teaching Bian Zhuang to fight against the evil forces of the Primordial World.
Zhao Gongming supported himself with one hand and smiled.
“Little Zhuang, practice again for Brother Changgeng.”
Bian Zhuang jumped up in shock. Only then did he notice Li Changshou’s arrival and hurriedly bowed.
Li Changshou said warmly, “How’s your learning going?”
Bian Zhuang hurriedly said, “I tried my best. I only hope to learn some of Senior Gongming’s knowledge. I still can’t understand it.”
“Ah, you’re too humble.” Zhao Gongming waved his hand and praised, “I have already obtained the essence of the Dao.”
Bian Zhuang smiled shyly and placed his hands on his thighs. He did not dare to be arrogant.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “In that case, let’s do as you say and practice first.”
“Okay!”
Bian Zhuang agreed. Just as he was about to move a stool for Li Changshou, Li Changshou waved his hand and said that the situation was urgent and that there was no need to expend any effort.
After a while, Zhao Gongming stood up and joined Li Changshou. Bian Zhuang stood in front of the Cave Abode and held his breath. He adjusted his state and searched for the subtle feeling.
Zhao Gongming nudged Li Changshou with his shoulder and smiled. “Shall I go for a stroll later?”
“Brother, you have to avoid the calamity.”
“Can we hide?” Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Why don’t we walk around openly and deal with the tribulations calmly?”
Li Changshou asked, “By the way, the disciple of Senior Sister Jin Ling that I mentioned previously is called Wen Zhong. What do you think?”
Zhao Gongming immediately gave him a thumbs-up. “Good character, good comprehension, and natural mystical abilities. It’s quite good to be able to distinguish right from wrong… He is cultivating in Green Touring Palace. Jin Ling did not pay much attention to the Dao techniques she imparted to him. His future opportunities are probably not low.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and did not say anything. Bian Zhuang had already raised his hand to indicate that he was ready.
Master Wen was also a man with three eyes. He worked hard to support the last generation of Shang. He was indeed a figure.
Unfortunately… he was not as good-looking as Yang Jian.
He looked at Bian Zhuang and took a deep breath. His expression was calm, and his gaze was unfocused. He casually took two steps forward.
Suddenly!
Li Changshou seemed to have heard a soft “Ka” sound. He seemed to have seen a ray of blood light hit Bian Zhuang’s heart. Bian Zhuang subconsciously raised his left hand to cover his chest. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his pale knuckles gripped his collar. His body lay weakly and collapsed…
Pfft…
Blood splattered everywhere. The figure was haggard, and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. He slowly lay on the ground and muttered weakly, “Lord, let’s go back. They are too powerful…”
“How is it?”
Zhao Gongming waved his thumb. “This brat is really a genius!”
“Yes, there’s that smell.”
Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction. Then, he called out, “Get up and pack up. Later, watch me make this gesture. No matter who is in front of you, just act like this. Don’t worry. The Heavenly Dao is protecting you.”
“Understood!”
Bian Zhuang agreed excitedly and jumped up.
That was the ultimate technique that he had learned after half a year!
However, what made Li Changshou feel that something was amiss was that Brother Zhao insisted on going together. He hid himself and went to the spiritual mountain to watch the fun.
Li Changshou naturally understood that Zhao Gongming was worried that he would encounter trouble when he went to the spiritual mountain later. At the crucial moment, he could represent Jie School and fight against the Western Sect.
However, Li Changshou could not explain many things in a few words.
He did not go to the spiritual mountain to cause a huge battle. The Heavenly Courts did not have the strength or the qualifications to do so.
He went to the spiritual mountain to sincerely give the spiritual mountain some suggestions for development. He wanted to ensure that the Primordial World was harmonious. In the future, when the Heavenly Courts established a new order, the spiritual mountain would not extend its long arm.
The set of rules governed by the long arm would not work in the Blue Star in his previous life.
Unable to persuade Zhao Gongming, Li Changshou took out a jade token and casually wrote a “special guest of the Grand White Palace” to give Zhao Gongming the background of the Heavenly Courts.
Zhao Gongming agreed happily, but he clearly did not take that identity to heart. He stuffed the jade token into his sleeve and urged Li Changshou to hurry up.
Li Changshou frowned and tried to persuade him…
A moment later, Li Changshou rode a cloud. Zhao Gongming transformed into a Heavenly General. Bian Zhuang also changed into armor and followed Li Changshou with Zhao Gongming.
On the way, Zhao Gongming repeatedly reminded Bian Zhuang not to be nervous. He made Bian Zhuang, who was not very nervous.
However, Bian Zhuang had his own confidence.
Who knew how he had spent the past six months?
He vomited blood!
In order to achieve the perfect effect of the ‘puff’, Bian Zhuang risked everything. Every mouthful of blood was shaken out of his body.
A late-stage Heaven Immortal Qi Refinement cultivator almost lost blood!
Although the journey from the Emei Mountain to the spiritual mountain was long, Bian Zhuang saw the majestic mountain covered in golden light in a flash.
At the highest point of the Aparagodānīya Continent, the spiritual mountain of the Western Sect.
“Bian Zhuang, start to brew the emotions.”
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. Bian Zhuang nodded heavily and held the sword at his waist. His eyes were clear.
My Father*, Mother, Grandmother, Fairy Sisters whom I would meet in the future but have yet to, I, Bian Zhuang, have become successful today!*
I’ll go to the Western Sect immediately!
The peak of immortal life was nothing much.
If he could not be a man, he had to do something earth-shattering!
Bian Zhuang’s eyes flashed, and his face instantly turned incomparably pale. There was a little cold sweat on his forehead, and even his gaze began to dissipate. His figure became much hunched.
He had just recovered from his serious injuries and his vital energy had yet to recover.
At that moment, streams of light flew over from the side. At the front was the Golden-Winged Roc. It surrounded Li Changshou and the other two and landed on the spiritual mountain.
When he looked at the spiritual mountain, golden light shone brightly. Dozens of disciples of the Saints and hundreds of old Daoists stood in front of the door of the spiritual mountain with smiles on their faces.
It was none other than…
Changgeng was about to touch the spiritual mountain. Everyone was busy with their own thoughts.
As Li Changshou led dozens of Heavenly Generals to the foot of the spiritual mountain, they quickly walked up the winding mountain path. The Heavenly Soldiers from all directions advanced together, and vast Heavenly Might suppressed them from all directions.
However, the golden light above the spiritual mountain was completely unmoved. The pressure of the Saint mixed within faintly resisted the heavenly might.
The Golden Roc walked quickly and took the lead to step onto the last step in front of the mountain gate. At that moment, there was no expression on his handsome face.
“The Heavenly Courts’ Lord Taibai Jinxing has received the Jade Emperor’s decree. He has come to investigate the matter of the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy being secretly injured by the disciples of the Western Sect. He wants the disciple of the Western Sect, Maitreya, to go out and answer.”
The Golden Roc went straight to the point.
An old Daoist priest cupped his hands and frowned. “There must be a misunderstanding. Therefore, there was a rumor in the Primordial World that Senior Brother Maitreya was the second Essence Soul of the ancient, evil Kun Peng. Therefore, Senior Brother Maitreya had been cultivating in seclusion. We did not know his whereabouts. However, Senior Brother Maitreya would not do something like injuring the Heavenly General. He is arrogant by nature. Even if he wants to fight, he should be an expert who has old grudges against Taibai Jinxing.”
The Golden Roc frowned slightly. The other party’s words were rather brilliant.
However, he had been following Li Changshou for many years. He had some ways to deal with it. He said calmly, “Whether he is or not, let him come out and face it. We will know the outcome.”
Another old Daoist priest smiled and said, “Although the Western Sect is weak and is being targeted by Lord Taibai Jinxing, this is still the Saint’s Dao field. Could it be that everyone has lost their basic respect for the Saint? The Primordial World is probably going to rebel.”
The Golden Roc was about to speak when a soft sigh sounded behind him.
Li Changshou slowly walked over with his horsetail whisk and sighed.
“The respect that you have for the Saints is still the pride of the Saints. Why can’t you think about it with your conscience? How much of the pride of the two Aunt-Masters of the Western Sect have been lost by you and how much of it has been ruined?”
The old Daoists looked at each other.
As the saying goes, things only happen thrice. Li Changshou had already come to the spiritual mountain more than three times. Every time, he would be more overboard than the last time.
However, this time, the old Daoists of the Western Sect were prepared in advance. They discussed all the vital points that Li Changshou might cause trouble today and chose six old Daoists to form the best Dao Discussion team of the Western Sect to fight Taibai Jinxing.
At that moment, Li Changshou had already arrived in front of the stage. The six old Daoists walked forward confidently.
The wind blew up their grayish-white or silver-white long hair and brushed up the corners of their tattered patched robes. The calmness and confidence were actually so brilliant.
Come on, argue!
Today, even if you, Taibai Jinxing, speak of the endless Great Dao, the six of them could push it back. As long as they insisted that Senior Brother Maitreya was not in the mountain, they would not know about this matter. The Heavenly Courts could not do anything to them!
An old Daoist priest took the initiative to say, “Lord Taibai Jinxing…”
“May I ask if Uncle-Masters are in the mountains?”
Li Changshou frowned and asked worriedly. Then, he sighed and said, “I actually didn’t want to cause any conflict today. I know that I was a little too aggressive previously. I enlarged the stain on the Western Sect by grabbing onto it. I also have a certain misunderstanding of the Western Sect. To be able to become a Saint was naturally a great virtue and a paragon recognized by the Heavenly Dao. The two Uncle-Masters were also respected ancient experts. They were chosen by the Heavenly Dao and became the six cornerstones of the Heavenly Dao. Today, I came to meet the two Uncle-Masters with a sincere attitude of settling the matter and recognizing the contradictions. He did not talk much about the rest. He just asked Uncle-Master to investigate the matter of a small number of disciples in the spiritual mountain causing trouble and disturbing the stability of the Heavenly Courts. Everyone, can you tell me?”
The six old Daoists looked at each other and frowned. They were silent.
Why is this script completely different from what we thought previously?
A disciple of the spiritual mountain smiled and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, why are you using such methods to secretly mock us?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “As the saying goes, your opinion of the world depends on the way you perceive it. Don’t think that every living being is like you. I, Li Changgeng, seek a clear conscience. The world is clear. It is to establish order in the world and end the chaotic times that came from the ancient times. It will allow every living being to live long enough. That is also the will of the Pangu God. There are dreams in life, and each is exciting! Can you help me pass the message and ask if the Saint wants to see me?”
The disciples of the Saint on the spiritual mountain stared at each other. They clearly felt that Li Changshou’s words were amiss, but they could not find a place to retort.
Silence was the spiritual mountain today.
Li Changshou frowned slightly and placed his hands behind his back. Just as he was about to shout loudly, he made a “Yes” gesture behind his back.
Bian Zhuang suddenly raised his hand and covered his chest. In an instant, his expression was full. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pfft…
Then, his body swayed and he was supported by a few Heavenly Generals beside him.
“General Bian! General Bian!”
“General Bian, wake up! Hold on, General Bian!”
“Spirit Mountain!”
Zhao Gongming, who had transformed into a Heavenly General, jumped out. He pointed at the sect and cursed. His tiger-like eyes were filled with tears as he shouted angrily, “You executioners who are protecting evil people! If anything happens to General Bian, I will definitely make you pay with your lives!”
Li Changshou leaned over in concern and fed Bian Zhuang a pill. Then, he patted Bian Zhuang’s shoulder and turned around to look at the old Daoists on the spiritual mountain.
“Everyone, are you really not willing to send a message for me? Can’t the Jade Emperor’s decree enter the sect of the spiritual mountain?”
“Well…”
“Ah.”
With a soft sigh, the golden light around the spiritual mountain trembled. Golden lotus phantoms floated out, and Daoist Jie Yin appeared in the hall of the spiritual mountain.
“Lord Taibai Jinxing, please enter and chat.”
