My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 697

Chapter 698 - The Golden Spirit Is Happy

There was really no one else like this leopard.

He walked between the Chan School and Jie School with ease. He jumped between the two sects repeatedly, but the more he jumped, the more valuable he became.

That was probably the charm of “jumping ship”.

Li Changshou carefully observed the Nine Dragons Island for some time and did not easily leap over the array formation. Soon, he made the paper effigy sleep at the bottom of the sea and shifted his attention elsewhere.

Ever since a paper effigy could make another paper effigy and the paper effigy’s Dharma powers could be charged with array formations, Li Changshou had already lost count of how many paper effigies he had made and scattered all over the Primordial World.

It was just average and barely enough.

In the South Continent, the nineteen ancient Demon Soldiers had been secretly arranged by Li Changshou to the trichiliocosm and temporarily avoided the five continents.

They had participated in the previous Heaven Punishment and had a close relationship with him. It was easy for the Heavenly Dao to take a liking to them and use them as pawns to compete with him.

In the trichiliocosm, the Dao Ancestor rarely looked at him. If he could not, he could hide in the Outer World’s Xuandu City.

Shen Bao began to interact with the immortals of Jie School. That was actually a symbolic event, but it did not affect the overall situation much.

There was no other reason.

By reducing Jiang Shang’s influence on the Great Tribulation, Li Changshou brought the God roll and the God Striking Whip back to the Heavenly Courts. Jiang Shang had already become a substitute God-Conferment Master.

Shen Bao, who should have been opposing Jiang Shang and felt that the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning was biased, lost his motivation to stir up the immortals of Jie School to cause trouble for Jiang Shang.

Unless Shen Bao returned to Jie School this time because he had Second Uncle-Master’s orders to make him become the lubricant and fuel for the Great Tribulation…

Although the possibility was not high, it did exist.

He could roughly guess the future.

Due to some well-known reasons, Li Changshou still placed more attention on Jiang Shang.

Although Jiang Shang had just left the mountain and had studied the ways to govern the country and the country for many years in Kunlun Mountain, he still had some Dharma powers and had a few Dharma spells that could sell his skills.

With his Dharma spells and divination techniques, Jiang Shang soon landed in Chaoge City and made a few good friends.

During this period, someone introduced Lady Ma to Jiang Shang’s wedding. Jiang Shang looked at Lady Ma and rejected her calmly.

After all, he had 32 ordinary wives and concubines who were as beautiful as flowers and jade. He still had that desire.

Over time, Jiang Shang relied on his own Dao technique to gain some fame in Chaoge City and attracted the attention of some officials and nobles.

However, what made Li Changshou feel a little regretful was that the lute spirit was hiding beside Daji and usually did not move.

There was a high chance that Jiang Shang would not burn the lute spirit to death.

He had no choice. His master’s cultivation level was really…

Really…

“I met that lute spirit. I’m not her match at all!”

Li Changshou scanned the various parts of the South Continent. The South Continent was currently in flames of war.

After Daji entered the palace, Di Xin’s personality became more and more domineering. He could even be considered obstinate, but the results he obtained were very eye-catching.

He was clearly a little proud and complacent.

Wen Zhong had completely integrated into the role of the Grand Tutor. His cultivation had completely stopped. He kept running back and forth for the Shang Dynasty.

The duo, Di Xin and Wen Zhong, had already ignored the pressure outside the South Continent and boldly pushed for the reform of the Shang Nation.

In Di Xin’s opinion, if the Shang Nation did not give it a try, it would be difficult for the Shang Nation to continue after a hundred years.

In Wen Zhong’s opinion, if the Shang Nation did not give it a try, they would not have a chance in the future.

The last path that the third-generation disciple of Jie School had chosen was to clinch a chance of survival for the Shang Nation.

Under Wen Zhong’s plan, the two flags outside and inside were raised together, catching the old factions in the Shang Dynasty off guard.

The newly promoted slaves and civilian generals had contributed to the war against the outside world. There were no obstacles for them to advance.

Many vassals were fence sitters. At that moment, most of them did not dare to say anything about “resisting the tributes”. They were afraid that Wen Zhong would lead the army and arrive at their city in a few days.

However, no matter how much Wen Zhong was in charge, it was not appropriate for him to interfere with Di Xin’s harem.

Moreover, Wen Zhongjiu was busy outside. Daji was protected by Goddess Nuwa’s decree. Wen Zhong’s weakened Heavenly Eye could not see through Daji, so he did not interfere in this matter.

Speaking of that, Li Changshou really wanted to hold a plate of melon seeds and admire them.

Yes, he purely admired the war between the harem.

There were waves in the palace.

Daji was reprimanded by Queen Jiang a few times and finally could not hold it in.

It was unknown if she was affected by the Great Tribulation or if the environment in the harem could really change the personality of a demon fox. She really treated Di Xin as her own world and began to retaliate against Queen Jiang.

Di Xin was naturally rather happy when he saw that.

He took advantage of the situation. On one hand, he was very grateful to Daji. On the other hand, he made Fei Zhong give Daji advice regularly. Occasionally, he would bring Daji to the royal court and let her sit beside the throne.

The favor Daji gained was at its peak, and so was Queen Jiang’s dissatisfaction with Daji.

How could Daji understand the heart of an emperor? According to Fei Zhong’s suggestion, she publicly offered the torture tool for Di Xin. Di Xin gladly accepted it and found an excuse to annihilate a few large clans in a few days.

At that moment, everyone in Chaoge City was alarmed. They all said that Daji was a jinx and a demoness.

However, the prestige of the King of Shang, Di Xin, had improved greatly with such a heavy punishment.

At that moment, Di Xin did something unexpected.

“Summon the slaves in Chaoge City and renovate the palace.”

The slaves who participated in this project could obtain the opportunity to get rid of their slave status. They would be treated inferiorly compared to the people of Shang Nation and could move to the periphery of the commercial land to cultivate.

Chaoge City was in an uproar.

Many old officials submitted books in anger and were placed on the soldering platform.

During that period of time, the sky in Chaoge City was extremely dark. The vassals were also panicking.

The people of Shang Nation were slightly dissatisfied, but they chose to support their king.

According to Fei Zhong’s deduction, this method of liberating slaves only needed to last for ten years. The core map of the Shang territory could expand 40%. Master Wang could obtain more troops and more rations every year.

At that time, what problem would the vassal states have?

Di Xin felt that it made sense. He had already thought of the scene of the Shang Nation’s power reaching its peak again.

However, Li Changshou did not admire Di Xin’s actions at all.

His steps were too big.

That was already not taking into account the actual situation. He had stubbornly walked on the path of betrayal!

If there was really a trend of liberating slaves in the Shang Nation, he could naturally take advantage of it and obtain a huge prestige.

At that moment, the Shang Nation did not have such conditions. Slaves were still the main labor and were the targets of exploitation and oppression.

As expected…

In just a few months, the East Marquis, Jiang Huanchu, and three hundred vassal states submitted a memorial to ask Di Xin to retract his orders.

Di Xin was enraged.

Seeing that Di Xin was not happy, Daji said, “Why don’t we trick Jiang Huanchu into coming to Chaoge City to kill him?”

This matter was passed down to Queen Jiang. Queen Jiang wanted to kill Daji, but she was bewitched by Daji’s demonic technique. Daji had long hated Queen Jiang and made Queen Jiang assassinate Di Xin.

Di Xin killed his wife. He was furious. He raised his sword and wanted to kill his sons, Yin Hong and Yin Jiao. He had the thoughts of killing the Jiang Family.

Yin Hong and Yin Jiao had received Uncle Wang’s help and were lucky enough to escape. Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, who had come after hearing the news, respectively accepted disciples.

A few days later, before the news reached the Jiang family, Jiang Huanchu was surrounded by the soldiers of Chaoge City. When he announced the decree, he was killed by the soldiers. The vassals of the east had all turned against the King of Shang.

Nearly half of the eight hundred vassals around the Shang Nation had already reversed!

When Do Xin personally killed Queen Jiang, the palace rained heavily. The azure dragon that represented Di Xin’s destiny turned red…

Compared to that, Li Changshou was more concerned about whether Jiang Huanchu’s soul had safely arrived in the Netherworld and was imprisoned.

When he became a god later, he would also be on the God roll. Why didn’t he directly take the “human Dao souls” into the Divine Seal Altar?

It was very simple. Li Changshou secretly changed the rules.

According to the logic of the Heavenly Dao, those who rebel against the Shang Dynasty should be conferred the title of God of Kindness. Then, who were the people who were conferred the position of the legitimate gods of the Heavenly Courts?

In Di Xin’s eyes, the Shang Nation’s chronic illness only knew how to bully the nobles of others.

No one knew how to consolidate their own interests better than them.

For that, even if Li Changshou made the Human Dao’s seats in the Heavenly Courts empty, he did not want to let those nobles go up and affect the “purity” of the Heavenly Courts.

He wanted to find loyal officials and outstanding mortals.

For example, Bigan, Shang Rong, and Huang Feihu, their character alone was enough to enter the God-Conferment Platform. Their ability to handle political matters was also very good.

Of course, according to Li Changshou’s deduction, the person who stood on the God-Conferment Platform to host everything might not be him.

However, he could set the rules that he needed while everything was still under his control.

He had put in a lot of effort for the Heavenly Courts.

Previously, he had no choice but to use the Heavenly Courts to threaten the Dao Ancestor.

Time passed by slowly.

In a daze, another year passed. Many important things happened in the world, but Li Changshou also received a few good news.

The Burning Incense Divine Kingdom’s system collapsed. The Western Sect lost a portion of their destiny.

Daoist Wen Jing had gone out to save a group of experts. Her status in the Western Sect had increased again.

She had already fulfilled all the conditions. She was just waiting for the Western Saint to leave the sect!

In the South Continent, Di Xin still only loved Daji, but the government had not been abandoned. Half of the faces in the court had changed.

Previously, Marquis West was imprisoned by Di Xin.

Ji Chang’s eldest son, Bo Yikao, was the one who saved his father. Under the orders of the subordinates of Zhou Nation, they searched for treasures and foreign objects and rushed to Chaoge City to meet Di Xin.

Although Bo Yikao was the eldest of the ten sons of Ji Chang and Tai Si, he was good at music and painting. He was not as talented as Ji Fa and Ji Dan.

Ji Chang had originally planned to appoint Ji Fa as his heir. However, Di Xin had once forcefully pushed the inheritance method of passing on the position to the eldest son. At that moment, Bo Yikao was still the first successor-in-line of the Zhou Nation.

If his father died, Bo Yikao could actually take over the Zhou Nation. However, this person did not hesitate to save his father. He did not have the temperament of an emperor…

Li Changshou admired that and personally wrote his name on the God roll.

When Boyi Kao entered Chaoge City, Li Changshou even specially rode a paper effigy and looked at him in the crowd. At that time, he felt that he was rather delicate and was in a tragic plight.

However, Li Changshou only looked around casually and did not plan to interfere.

At the same time, Jiang Shang had relied on his Dao technique to successfully become a doctor. He could be considered proud.

However, Jiang Shang felt that Di Xin was too ruthless. The minister killed him just like that. He did not feel safe at all. Not long after he took office, he already had the thought of retiring.

This could be considered as having a disciple and a teacher.

When Li Changshou looked back at the Immortal Islands of the South Ocean of the East Ocean, he realized…

Shen Bao had actually become an honored guest of the various Immortal Islands. He addressed the immortals of Jie School as brothers and interacted with the Golden Ao, the Nine Dragons, the Fire Dragon, Penglai, and many other Immortal Islands.

Indeed, I should let Brother Zhao find an opportunity to kill this fellow.

If Jie School continued, they would really be wiped out!

The moment Bo Yikao entered Chaoge City, it meant that Ji Chang was already counting down to return to the West. It was not far from the Shang Nation’s expedition to the Zhou Nation.

In Li Changshou’s deduction, the second full-scale conflict between Jie School and Chan School would erupt at that time.

He temporarily ignored the mortal matters and only analyzed the situation that might happen during the battle between the Chan School and Jie School. At that time, there might be Saints involved, but the possibility of a battle between Saints was not high.

Brother Gongming was most likely the center of the next battle.

The plan to obtain justice had been decided.

What Li Changshou had to do now was to release some smoke bombs and make arrangements to confuse the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor.

However, before he could think of a way to deceive the Heavenly Dao, Zhao Gongming suddenly visited the Sea God Temple…

Zhao Gongming rubbed his hands and looked extremely excited. As soon as he arrived, he shouted everywhere, “Changgeng! Changgeng is out! I have a joyous matter! Hahahahaha!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

It was a joyous occasion when the Great Tribulation arrived.

What joyous occasion could there be? Is Senior Sister Jin Ling really pregnant? How can that be possible? If a Connate mighty figure can get pregnant so easily, I will die on the spot!

He would go to the Fire Cloud Cave to ask for a few Shennong’s Spirit-Breeding Pills and prepare them for Yun Xiao!

Bang!

A wisp of green smoke exploded from the ground. Li Changshou quickly condensed from the green smoke and smiled at Zhao Gongming.

“Big Brother, what’s wrong? What joyous occasion?”

Zhao Gongming rushed forward and grabbed Li Changshou’s hands. He shook them forcefully. “Thank you, thank you for the help of Changgeng’s pills. Sister-in-law Jin Ling!”

He suddenly lowered his voice and looked around.

“She’s really pregnant! And there are two meridians!”

He even forgot to send a voice transmission.

Li Changshou was shocked. He frowned and looked at Zhao Gongming. Many thoughts surfaced in his mind. Then, he reacted in time and cupped his hands at Zhao Gongming.

“Congratulations, Brother! This is a joyous occasion!”

“Hahahaha!”

Zhao Gongming pinched his waist and laughed. He winked at Li Changshou. “How is it, Brother?”

“Impressive!”

Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up and thought about it. He reminded, “Senior Sister Jin Ling is pregnant. It’s the Great Tribulation now. Brother, do you have any arrangements?”

“This…”

Zhao Gongming scratched his head. His spirits immediately withered.

“Ah, actually, I’m worried about this matter. My wife is someone who would not care about anything else and just fight when she encounters injustice. If the Great Tribulation comes again later and she gets injured, that would be a bad thing. However, her personality is unyielding. I don’t know how to persuade her. Changgeng, tell me honestly today. Are my and Jin Ling’s names on the God roll?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Your names will appear on the God roll when the remnant souls enter the God-Conferment Platform. Previously, Bai Ze was testing the auspicious signs for you, Brother. It was an ominous sign.”

“What about your sister-in-law?”

“Same as yours.”

“This!”

Zhao Gongming’s eyes were a little dim. He leaned back in his chair and looked extremely dejected.

The Sea God Sect’s rear hall was filled with a little pressure.

Li Changshou observed Zhao Gongming’s reaction and deliberated over his words. He reminded, “No matter what, I have to persuade Senior Sister Jin Ling not to take the risk. Brother, how long is the pregnancy of a Connate mighty figure?”

“It’s not definite,” Zhao Gongming said. “It depends on the fetus’s growth. Moreover, you can’t tell that Jin Ling is pregnant. It’s completely different from the human race.

Changgeng… Changshou.

I beg you this once. No matter what, protect your sister-in-law and the child in her stomach.

If I can’t avoid this Great Tribulation, no matter what method you use, you have to stabilize Jin Ling, Yun Xiao, and the others. Don’t lose your composure because of me.”

Li Changshou asked, “Brother, how much do you sense your Heavenly Fate?”

“I had a few nightmares previously.” Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I didn’t expect that I would have dreams too. The dreams were quite tragic.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to protect you.”

Zhao Gongming looked at Li Changshou and smiled.

“There’s no need. I’m a man after all. It’s not right for me to rely on you. The Great Tribulation is coming. No matter who schemes against them, I will fight with all my might. What is there to fear about the Heavenly Dao? I’m the first breeze in the world. In the end, I don’t want to be restrained in a corner. I don’t want to live dejectedly. You just have to take care of them. This is the only request I have for you.”

“Then, Brother, wait a moment.”

Li Changshou took out a jade token from his sleeve and wrote down some words. He reminded, “I’ve prepared some things to say. You can say them to stop Senior Sister Jin Ling at the crucial moment. It depends on how you perform.”

“Yes?”

Zhao Gongming leaned forward and wanted to see what Li Changshou had written.

When the jade token landed in the hands of the eldest disciple of Jie School, Zhao Gongming was speechless.

“How can a man like me do such a thing?”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. “How can I stomp my feet and shout these words? If this gets out, will I still be able to survive in the Primordial World?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Then return it to me.”

“You’ve already given it to me. I’ll go back and think about it carefully.”

Zhao Gongming chuckled and put the jade token away.

Li Changshou originally wanted Zhao Gongming to stay for a drink, but the latter was in a good mood and had to rush to the Three-Immortal Island and the Green Touring Palace to report the good news.

After Zhao Gongming left, Li Changshou frowned and stood at the door of the rear hall, pinching his fingers to deduce.

He was deducing the clues in his memories.

The Goddess of Golden Spirit is pregnant…

The position that the Goddess of Golden Spirit would get during the God-Conferment was originally that of Lady Mother of the Chariot, also known as Doumu. However, Doumu seemed to be the mother of all the stars. The two most famous ones were the Great Emperor of the North Star, Ziwei Emperor, and the Great Emperor of the Curved Array, Gouchen Emperor, who were among the Four Heavenly Ministers.

Grandmaster, what are you plotting again?

Li Changshou looked up in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace. The paper effigy quietly burrowed into the ground.

Purple Cloud Palace, bamboo forest illusion.

The burly old Daoist priest looked at the appearance of the Creation Jade Disc and Zhao Gongming running around to talk about the happy occasion. He smiled faintly.

At the same time, in the Grand Pure One Temple, the thin old Daoist priest frowned slightly and kept his fingers to deduce. His expression was indescribably solemn.

After a long time…

The old Daoist priest looked enlightened. He pointed at the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Courts. The Grand Supreme Elder, who was guarding the Pill Furnace, immediately opened his eyes. He summoned a jade slip and wrote a pill formula.

Its name was the Grand Pure One’s Spirit-Breeding Pill.
