He did not know if the Great Daoist Master was too thin-skinned.
Li Changshou had originally prepared a few excuses to explain himself, but the Great Daoist Master did not say anything and secretly returned to the Xuandu City.
On the other hand, Kong Xuan had left Li Changshou a communication jade token. The content was very simple. It was purely to thank Li Changshou.
A few days later, Li Changshou finally reacted.
He had helped Kong Xuan get what he wanted. Kong Xuan had helped him resist the Great Daoist Master’s attacks and counted it as a thank-you gift.
Otherwise, Li Changshou would probably have to experience the horsetail whisk’s loving care for his buttocks and muscles after Qi Yuan passed away…
Li Changshou could only smile bitterly.
It was all done by his teacher. In order to achieve immediate results, he could only do that. Fortunately, the Great Daoist Master did not realize that the Seven Emotions incarnation had secretly added fuel to the fire that day…
I’ll keep this beautiful secret.
The Great Daoist Master did not torture him, which saved him a lot of effort.
At that moment, Li Changshou had to gradually speed up his plan to become a god and avoid the arrangements of the Heavenly Dao. He had to put down his pawn as much as possible.
The rules of the chess game were set by the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao had the authority to change the rules at any time. There was definitely no chance of winning in a head-on battle in the chess game…
Li Changshou stood up and returned to the secret study room. He looked at Ling’e’s condition with his immortal senses and calculated the time of Ling’e’s Golden Immortal Tribulation. At that moment, with his understanding of the Heavenly Dao, he could already accurately predict the time.
There was an hour’s difference.
After activating the three layers of the Heaven-Shrouding Array, Li Changshou raised his hand and waved. The God-Conferment escape plan that could be written on the paper floated over. More than a hundred portraits slowly rotated around him.
In his clear Dao heart, streams of light surrounded Li Changshou’s essence soul.
He used memory as a book and turned the memory fragments into an encrypted mark. What was here was his true arrangement.
Although the real plan was similar to the plan outside, it was just a little different. It was enough for the Heavenly Dao to kill him eight or ten times in advance.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and deduced.
Putting aside the matter of the Huaguo Mountain, it had nothing to do with the current calamity.
The fall of the three demons in the Xuanyuan Tomb could only be considered an omen. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation would not be opened because of that.
There might be three nodes that could pull the curtains.
Firstly, his master reincarnates into Jiang Ziya.
Secondly, Di Xin is born or succeeds the throne.
Thirdly, Di Xin heads to Nuwa Temple.
The so-called “curtain call” referred to the six Saints sensing something after this matter happened. The Heavenly Dao revealed an abnormality. The six Saints came to the conclusion that the Great God-Conferment Tribulation should be in the Shang Nation and the Zhou Nation. From there, they began to fight.
The curtain call would definitely happen, and it would most likely land on his master.
Qi Yuan’s death had become the catalyst for the God-Conferment Tribulation.
Qi Yuan’s reincarnation, Jiang Ziya, might very well be the mark of the God-Conferment Tribulation.
What else can I do?
Li Changshou scanned through the steps of the current plan. He pondered for a while and reviewed the plan again. After confirming that there were no risks, he began to mobilize the paper effigies again.
In the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou quietly appeared and found Li Jing. He directly appeared as the “black-robed man” to test Li Jing’s Dao and teach him mystical abilities and Dharma spells.
It was a form of acceptance.
When Li Changshou entered the Immortal Du Sect, he had been arranged by Li Changshou. He, who was originally a little introverted and strong-willed, had been adopted by an old immortal Dao companion in the sect, giving Li Jing a lot of warmth.
Li Changshou actually had a lot of opinions about Nezha’s original story. Li Jing’s father had undoubtedly failed.
In order to fundamentally prevent the tragedy from happening, Li Changshou used the “Immortal Family” strategy to subtly nurture Li Jing into a positive, optimistic, benevolent, and warm smile…
He was a warm man!
He wanted Li Jing to be a good father while he secretly restrained Ling Zhuzi’s reincarnation to prevent the little fellow from making mistakes.
That was his care for Ling Zhuzi as his Uncle-Master.
Li Changshou’s plan was undoubtedly very successful.
When the Immortal Du Sect suffered a calamity and the Sect Leader died, Li Jing had already revealed himself.
Although his Dao was not too deep, it was a rare quality to be able to stand up and face a powerful enemy at the crucial moment.
The brocade pouch that Li Changshou had prepared for Li Jing had been upgraded again. It could be considered a gift for Li Jing to leave the village.
That night, the “masked man in black” attacked the back mountain of the Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Immortal Du Sect at night. He fought Li Jing head-on and secretly guided Li Jing in sword-riding.
At dawn, the “black-robed man” quietly left, but he had arranged to fight with Li Jing tomorrow night.
Li Jing was naturally not stupid. After thinking about it, he reported this to the Grand Elders.
On the second night, the black-robed man appeared again. However, he directly knocked out a few Grand Elders. He smiled calmly at Li Jing and gave Li Jing some suffering. He continued to give Li Jing pointers while whipping him.
On the third night, the Immortal Du Sect took the initiative to carve out an area in the rear mountain to “educate” Li Jing. They did not dare to say anything else.
On the fourth night, under the gaze of thousands of immortal senses from the Immortal Du Sect, the black-robed man arrived as promised…
After three months, the man in black fought Li Jing with his sword. He nailed Li Jing behind the cliff again and sighed softly.
“That’s all I’ll teach you. Li Jing, you don’t have to come tomorrow night.”
Li Jing was stunned when he heard that. He struggled down from the cliff. The injuries on his body were blocked by immortal power and quickly healed.
He bowed and hesitated. Soon, he made up his mind and said loudly, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior! However, I wonder what Senior’s name is and why you want to give Li Jing some guidance in his swordplay mystical abilities? Why are the sword techniques used by Senior recorded in the books of the Immortal Du Sect?”
Li Changshou calmly took off his mask and revealed the face of the Taibai Jinxing paper effigy, emitting his Dao runes.
Li Jing was stunned when he saw that. Then, he hurriedly lowered his head and bowed. “Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing!”
“There’s no need.” Li Changshou waved his hand. “In terms of seniority in the Immortal Du Sect, I’m inferior to you.”
“I don’t dare!”
Li Changshou continued, “Li Jing, do you know why I guided you?”
“Lord Taibai Jinxing, please explain,” Li Jing shouted.
A stream of light flew over from the door. Li Changshou raised his hand and made a gesture. The immortals of the Immortal Du Sect instantly stopped not far away.
Many elders of the Immortal Du Sect recalled that Li Changshou had promised Ji Wuyou that he would choose a responsible Sect Leader for the Immortal Du Sect.
Could it be?
Could it be…
Is he really the other in-name disciple of the Founding Master?
Today, the Immortal Du Sect had finally…
Suddenly, Li Changshou explained calmly, “It’s mainly to prepare you to go down the mountain.”
Li Jing and the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect were stunned.
Li Changshou took off his black cloak and returned to his white robe. He strolled with his hands behind his back and walked in front of Li Jing.
“Do you still remember what you said when you entered the Immortal Du Sect?”
“I…” Li Jing was stunned for a while. Then, he looked ashamed and said in a low voice, “I once said that I worship the Immortal Sect to protect my hometown. My hometown, Chentang Town, had been attacked by demons many times. There is an ancestral rule in the town. Even if Chentang Town is devoured by demons, we cannot give the human territory to the demons! Disciple… I have already achieved some success in my cultivation, but I want the peace in the mountains. I want to obtain the Dao of longevity. I almost forgot this mission. Please punish me, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”
Li Changshou put his hands in his sleeves and smiled. “If not for checking the records of the Hundred Mortal Hall, you would have returned to Chentang Town every ten years. This punishment would have been dropped. It is human nature to cultivate and yearn to live forever. However, now that the Heavenly Dao is circulating, there will be a calamity in the South Continent. I’m afraid there will be demons causing trouble in the human world. Prepare in the mountains and go to the South Continent. Of course, I won’t force you to make any decisions. Your future is in your hands.”
“Okay!”
Li Jing agreed firmly with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Li Jing’s shoulder. He took out a brocade pouch from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jing.
“There are some pills, some mystical abilities, basic military strategies, and some miscellaneous books here. Consider them a gift for you.”
Li Changshou said warmly, “Since I secretly arranged for you to enter the Immortal Du Sect back then, I naturally want to nurture an indomitable, courageous, responsible, and bold junior for Ren School. Remember, cultivation level is not the deciding factor for a living being’s position in the world. The deciding factor is your character.”
After saying that, Li Changshou chuckled. A little fog appeared around him, and the paper effigy disappeared.
Li Jing held the brocade pouch and stood there in a daze. He felt as if he was in a dream.
The Second Disciple of the Saint of Ren School, the Second Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Courts, Fairy Yun Xiao’s quasi-Dao companion, the Destroyer of the Demon Clan, the Coffinbearers of the Western Sect, and the nemesis of Daoist Randeng…
Is he the man in black who taught me the mystical abilities in the past three months?
The surrounding streams of light appeared again. The elders of the Immortal Du Sect approached. They first congratulated and congratulated him for a while before looking at the brocade pouch in Li Jing’s hand.
An elder whispered, “Li Jing, is there a book written by Lord Taibai Jinxing? Look, can you copy some of it and place it in the Dao Repository Hall so that the disciples can broaden their horizons?”
Li Jing hurriedly agreed. He naturally knew about Li Changshou’s relationship with the Immortal Du Sect.
However, Li Jing opened the brocade pouch and probed it with his immortal senses. He could not help but be speechless…
What?
“What happened?”
A female Heaven Immortal carefully noticed Li Jing’s abnormality and hurriedly said, “If there are any inconveniences, forget it. It’s still Lord Taibai Jinxing’s orders.”
“That’s not the case.” Li Jing pondered for a while and took out a few bundles of jade slips and books. He lined them up with his immortal power and revealed the name on them.
The immortals looked over and their expressions changed. They saw that the titles were…
“Father’s Love Is Like a Mountain”
“How to Be a Successful Father”
“What role should a father play in the growth of a child?”
“Be a Patient Father”
“What is Prenatal Teaching?”
That night, the Heaven-Breaking Peak of the Immortal Du Sect was quiet. A group of elders and executives did not do anything. They just paced around Li Jing in the forest.
Finally, a slightly younger elder clapped his hands and shouted, “I understand!”
“Why?”
“If you understand, say it quickly. What deeper meaning does Lord Taibai Jinxing have!?!”
“Lord Taibai Jinxing is hinting!”
The elder beamed with joy and smiled. “He’s hinting that he can already become an outstanding father! He can already write these sutra books! In other words, Li Jing! Your opportunity has arrived!”
Li Jing tilted his head, completely puzzled.
The immortals were enlightened and looked at Li Jing enviously.
“Opportunity? What opportunity?”
“Stupid!”
An old Daoist priest patted Li Jing gently with his horsetail whisk. “The next time you see Lord Taibai Jinxing, just call him Father. Everything will naturally be clear.”
The surrounding immortals sighed at Li Jing’s good fortune. Li Jing was stunned.
What does Lord Taibai Jinxing mean?
Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou watched that scene with the help of the paper effigy underground. He was speechless.
Forget it. There’s no need to care about these small details.
There were still more chess pieces waiting for him to push.
…
As time passed, the killing tribulation approached.
More than thirty years after the Great Daoist Master’s romance, Li Changshou kept observing and attacking cautiously in the world. He spent a lot of time burying limited chess pieces.
For example, he had found traces of the original owners of the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
However, after thinking about it, he did not touch the two itinerant cultivators who had clearly become pure ashes.
Now, without Daoist Randeng, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were only ordinary Golden Immortal Daoists who had good cultivation levels and were purely blessed.
He could not use another “dimension” to punish them.
Moreover, in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, what crimes could immortals and mortals commit?
There were also some chess pieces that Li Changshou could see and affect, but he did not want to touch.
For example, Wen Zhong of Chan School, as well as many third- and fourth-generation disciples who were on good terms with Wen Zhong. Many of them were already blessed.
This luck was equivalent to the mark of the Heavenly Dao. It was not a good thing.
Li Changshou could already sense the urgency of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation approaching.
The more it was like this, the more he could not panic. After all, he had made hundreds of schemes since he started cultivating.
It was mainly because he did not expect to be in his current position.
In the past few years, Li Changshou had actually wanted to go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to take a look. However, he had been avoiding that thought.
Without him, he did not know how to face his master. He was even more afraid that when he went, he would become the node for his master to reincarnate.
After reincarnation, it was no longer the same as before. It was just the same True Spirit resonating twice.
Li Changshou did not want to discuss the meaning of living beings. However, he knew that the Jiang Ziya that he would see in the future, no matter how similar his appearance and figure were to his master, was no longer the depressed Turbid Immortal from back then.
If the Dao Ancestor had lied to him, the Heavenly Dao would not have discovered him during his Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Then, it should be under the arrangements of the Heavenly Dao that his master went to find him and accepted him as a disciple.
Li Changshou shook his head and expelled those thoughts from his heart, lest it affect his Dao heart’s stability.
He had to think about something that made him happy. For example, the letter that Yun Xiao had sent him previously. The words of love were already quite bold to him.
When he thought about the Heaven Ascension Hall in the trichiliocosm, he realized that the Heaven Ascension Hall was advancing rapidly and expanding rapidly. Its mature system had also been tested. It was enough to help the Heavenly Courts manage the five continents.
The moment Maitreya appeared in the trichiliocosm, he immediately suffered the Heavenly Punishment and was once again hidden by the Heavenly Lightning.
The Void Bodhi had the name of a criminal immortal wanted by the Heavenly Courts. He was surrounded by the experts of the Immortal Alliance in a Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and finally fled in a sorry state…
As for the Four Seas Dragon Palace, the few Dragon Kings had probably thought it through and released a signal to “join forces” to cause trouble. They had also made crucial progress regarding the internal management of the dragon race.
There was also Li Jing, who was worried about calling him “Father”. He was famous for slaying demons and devils at the border of the South Continent. His Dao Realm had also rapidly improved during the battle.
A breakthrough in the Dao Realm to become a member of the main character of the Great Tribulation was as easy as drinking water.
Li Changshou looked at it enviously. After all, at his current realm, especially after he had indirectly comprehended the Primordial Violet Qi, his Dao realm had increased at turtle speed.
He would only gain enlightenment once every two to three years!
That made Li Changshou have to reflect on what he was lacking compared to the “geniuses”.
Why did they receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao and broke through at the bottleneck? Why were they not as fast as when he was cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect back then…
Huh? There seems to be something wrong.
Calculating the time, I should bring the Jade Emperor around and find the first batch of legitimate gods.
Li Changshou stretched his back and floated back to the No. 1 secret underground chamber from No. 3. He looked at Ling’e, who was cultivating, and calmly flew to the surface Pill Chamber.
As soon as he arrived at the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou suddenly heard the call of his immortal senses.
“Senior Brother…”
“Huh?”
He subconsciously agreed and lowered his head to look at Ling’e’s room underground. He saw a book appear behind Ling’e. The book was slowly flipping, and it naturally flipped to the last page and slowly closed.
Then, the book slowly rose and turned into a pink lotus above Ling’e’s head. Mysterious concepts erupted from it.
In the lotus flower, the image of the green and white fish slowly rotated.
The Grand Pure Dao was the foundation, and the Steadiness Sutra was the guide. Ling’e’s Dao had already matured.
That was not a profound Great Dao, but Li Changshou could not understand it.
Under his influence, Ling’e’s Dao was also related to balance. However, it was not his Great Dao of balance. It was closer to the principle of balance between Yin and Yang.
Regardless of what Ling’e’s Dao was and how powerful it was, and no matter how strong the Great Dao was, it would not be able to turn the situation around if she were to fight.
Li Changshou looked up at the sky. There were already dark clouds outside the Little Qiong Peak.
Ling’e suddenly understood something. The Golden Immortal Tribulation had arrived in advance!
She could not ask someone to attend the ceremony in advance.
Li Changshou silently checked his reserves for Tribulation Transcendence. He stuffed a few Nine Revolutions Golden Pills into his mouth and moved Ling’e from the ground to the back mountain.
Come! Grandmaster!
I’m ready!
