He had to admit that he had exposed a few of his trump cards too early.
Although it did not affect him much, he had to be alert.
“The higher-ups are the most stable enemies!”
On the way back to the five continents, Li Changshou changed into a Daoist robe and wiped the Mysterious Blood on his forehead before refining it into essence energy.
Now, his mystic blood was comparable to the blood of the Ancestral Magi. He could not waste it.
In fact, Li Changshou had long believed that Goddess Nuwa had been imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao.
Be it the Spirit Stone that was used to arrange the Hua Guo Mountain or the opening of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, there was a strong smell of the Heavenly Dao.
Especially this time, at the crucial moment when the conflict of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation erupted, Goddess Nuwa could summon him at the right time. She could also understand two things.
The first was that Goddess Nuwa had seen his arrangements everywhere and expressed her determination to flip the table with the Heavenly Dao. She was afraid that he would take Senior Lang’s old path again and cause the human race to suffer a calamity. She would temporarily imprison him in the “Anti-Time Stop” mystical ability.
The second layer was naturally the Dao Ancestor’s order to let Goddess Nuwa temporarily trap Li Changshou.
There should be both factors, but the ratio was different.
However, Li Changshou could not accept Goddess Nuwa’s actual situation.
The Heavenly Dao is only like that. How dare it praise itself for being impartial every day?
No matter how strong the Dao Ancestor’s position is, wouldn’t he have no bottom line if he directly uses the human race to threaten and harm the Mother of the human race?
The Dao Ancestor can really accept being addressed as Teacher!
Calm down, calm down. I can’t let all my efforts go to waste.
The Heavenly Dao clone and the will of the Great Tribulation that stopped Li Changshou were only ordinary Zenith Heaven Immortals. However, they had extremely high authority over the Heavenly Dao. They were difficult to deal with and their strength was difficult to determine.
However, there was always something to overcome. It was actually very difficult for the other party to do much to him whom the Heavenly Dao power could not kill.
Li Changshou deliberately injured and slapped him to death. He did not know if he would expose his low-level strength in the eyes of the Dao Ancestor.
After all, he was a Dao Ancestor. He had to worship him.
The world of the five continents was in sight. Li Changshou pondered slightly.
“What you see is just what the Dao Ancestor wants you to see. What you hear is just what the Dao Ancestor wants you to hear.”
That was actually not bad.
Wasn’t the current world that he saw the world that the Dao Ancestor had presented after modifying many living beings’ memories?
That was understandable. After all, Master Lang had lost back then.
After leaving the vicinity of the Goddess’s Palace, Li Changshou hid his figure and used the paper effigy to monitor the various parts of the Primordial World. He naturally knew the details of the battle in the South Continent and continued to follow the plan that he had previously set.
On the way back, Li Changshou began to think about a very mature question.
How long should his influence on the Great God-Conferment Tribulation be traced back?
He still remembered that time, the immortals of Jie School had come to the Immortal Du Sect to “apologize”. He did not know what the Golden Immortal combat unit, Sect Leader Wuyou, thought at that time. He even took out the Little Qiong Peak’s chain array to show off.
When Li Changshou regained his senses, he was almost stunned.
One went in and trapped the other.
There was no solution to the Chain Array. It was similar to the structure of the Mobius Belt. There was no starting point or focus. If he wanted to break the array, he could only destroy the array itself.
At that time, the eldest brother of the ten Heavenly Lords, Qin Wan, was very interested in Li Changshou’s Chain Array.
Li Changshou could not withstand the Sect Leader’s continuous hints. He took the “solution” of his own elimination version of the Chain Array and gave it to Qin Wan.
At that time, Li Changshou even thought that if he did something, wouldn’t the Great God-Conferment Tribulation cause endless waves?
The butterfly effect.
Later on, Li Changshou learned that the Heavenly Dao’s restraint was extremely powerful. It could suppress living beings until they could not breathe and had no bottom line. Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to the array formations of the ten Heavenly Lords.
The ten Heavenly Lords were just above average experts of Jie School. Their strength was similar to the four generals of the Mo family and the Four Saints of the Nine Dragons Island.
Even if the Ten Extremes Array had some elements of the Chain Array, could it cover the light of the twelve Golden Immortals?
The important battle achievements of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School were to break the Ten Absolute Arrays one by one through a battle formation under the presiding of Deputy Sect Master Randeng.
At most, he would cause some problems for the twelve Golden Immortals.
However, Li Changshou did not expect…
On the first day after the Ten Absolute Arrays were set up, they injured King Wucheng and bewitched Little Nezha.
The next day, they trapped Yang Jian, frightened Lei Zhenzi, and killed a few immortals of Chan School.
It was only because Nezha had many treasures and escaped quickly that his Dao heart did not hesitate.
Yang Jian had already mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. Even if he was trapped by the array formation, his defense would not be broken.
That was why Li Changshou did not lose the chance to become a God with his physical body.
Look at the Ten Absolute Arrays from afar!
It was unpredictable. The Heaven, Earth, and Man Qi were boundless spiritual energy.
The Earth Blaze Array was extremely ferocious. The Earth Fire burned and the fire poison was endless!
The Wind Roar Array destroyed the wind while the Ice Array froze everything.
The Golden Light Array had thousands of immortal mirrors that were specially used to blind those that looked at it.
The Blood Transformation Array’s ferocious black sand destroyed one’s essence soul. The flames of the Blazing Flame Array were surging and the True Fire was endless.
The Soul Bewitch Array was charming and life-threatening. The Red Water Array had the Life-Seizing Water and the Red Sand Array would blow stones away.
Those were the most basic things. The entire Ten Absolute Arrays were connected to each other, front and back. If the challenger entered this place, not only would they have to face a moment of danger, but they would also have to face the ten array formations at the same time!
They were all connected and interlinked. The Heavenly Extinction Array transferred endless spiritual energy into the Ten Absolute Arrays!
The ten Heavenly Lords had even begun practicing their respective array formations since the ancient “Primordial Stage”. In the past few hundred years, they had perfectly integrated the concept of the various array formations…
If it was the original Ten Absolute Arrays, it would be equivalent to a city wall that was tens of feet tall. He could always climb up the ladder.
The current Ten Absolute Arrays should be equivalent to a thousand-feet-tall city wall. Moreover, it was filled with lots of other stuff!
They were completely different!
Anyway, when Li Changshou had just shattered the Heavenly Dao’s will clone and left the Goddess’s Palace to return to the five continents, he used the first Ten Absolute Arrays that the paper effigy saw and saw Perfected Huang Long hanging in front of the Golden Light Array. He was tied up like a dumpling, and his Daoist robe was tattered as he slowly rotated.
That was a good idea.
The Jie School side was rather smug. They calculated the hundred-day period. If Chan School did not surrender or admit defeat, they might as well destroy the Zhou Army and make the Zhou Nation unable to recover.
Before the ten Heavenly Lords arrived, they had already discussed and were willing to take the initiative to bear the negative karma and relieve the immense pressure that Jie School was facing.
The Chan School side naturally had a headache. At that moment, they had already contacted the Jade Void Palace to get more support. It was best if there were array formation experts who could break the Ten Absolute Arrays.
Huang Long was hung up for half a day before he was saved by Yang Jian, who was good at escape and transformation.
The twelve Golden Immortals were rather ashamed. They bowed to Yang Jian and thanked him. Then, they began to think about how to… adjust their postures the next time they were tied up to reach an elegant and comfortable level.
There were no blessings after surviving this calamity.
On the Jade Void Palace’s side, Guang Chengzi could not think of a good way to resolve the situation. He was still discussing it with his junior brothers and sisters.
The Green Touring Palace became more lively.
Previously, Jie School was indeed as Li Changshou had expected. The disciples quarreled and were reprimanded by the Grandmaster of Heaven.
The Grandmaster of Heaven had given a strict order that the disciples of the sect could not enter the Great Tribulation. Otherwise, they would become ashes.
The ten Heavenly Lords were considered to have committed crimes. After careful consideration, they took the risk of disobeying their master’s orders and wanted to fight back the morale of Jie School.
At the same time, before the ten Heavenly Lords moved, Shen Bao persuaded them not to leave the island.
He did not know if Shen Bao’s innate mystical ability had mutated. The more he persuaded, the more determined the ten Heavenly Lords were.
Especially the Goddess of Golden Light. Recently, she had been in a bad mood and often lost her cool. She always wanted to fight with a few people…
To be honest, Li Changshou did not know how Chan School would react to such a situation. At that moment, he could not ask Second Uncle-Master to take action personally. The reputation of Chan School would probably be swept away.
Daoist Lu Ya, who could be the external help of Chan School, and Deputy Sect Master Randeng, who was quite accomplished in array formations, had been killed by Li Changshou in advance.
With this, Chan School felt that it was troublesome.
Therefore, Li Changshou was not anxious at all.
He quietly entered the Netherworld and rushed to the Reincarnation Pagoda unhurriedly.
He first checked the situation of the Reincarnation Pagoda and confirmed that the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy’s spiritual core and the ancient mysterious old Daoist priest’s stone coffin were safe and sound. Then, he floated to the top floor.
This time, he had specially rushed to the Netherworld because he wanted to borrow a mount from the “Old Treasury”. It would be useful later.
…
“Roar, roar, roar ~”
Truth Listener called out to the window twice. Then, it slumped onto the warm stone slab and yawned.
It was too stable in the Netherworld.
Now that the Great Tribulation was circulating, it did not dare to listen much. It was quite boring to watch the battle between Chan School and Jie School.
Both sides appeared to be restrained on the surface, but they were secretly fighting fiercely. One side had the advantage, while the other side immediately increased the chips and kept attacking. They came back together.
He did not have the courage to destroy the spiritual mountain of Jie School.
Indeed, it was all because that man did not appear. The Great Tribulation was not exciting at all. It was all a secret scheme.
However, his master had to organize the current situation every day and make a “brief report” for his master to hear.
It was a mount and also one of the top ten divine beasts in the world. It also wanted its reputation!
Master does all these everyday. Does he respect me at all!?!
On the meditation cushion in the middle of the top floor, the delicate-looking Reincarnation Pagoda Master, Tibet, opened his eyes and asked, “How was the battle today?”
Look, he came just like that.
“Same old.” Truth Listener sighed and said, “Chan School is still taking their time to not set up the Ten Absolute Arrays. They are probably going to delay for a hundred days and let the ten Heavenly Lords kill the mortals before destroying their luck. The ten Heavenly Lords are not stupid. They secretly discussed that if the 100-day period arrived, they would give them the next 100-day period. Then, they would publicize this matter in the world and cause the reputation of Chan School to plummet. That’s right. Qin Wan of the ten Heavenly Lords had created ten wooden tablets yesterday. On them were the words “lost?” and they were hung in the Ten Absolute Arrays. I wonder what it is for.”
Ksitigarbha nodded slowly and said, “Are there any abnormalities in the places enveloped by the other calamities?”
“It’s still the same. Ah, I can’t really fight. I want to retreat but I don’t dare to.”
Truth Listener complained weakly, “Master, it’s useless to look at these. Now that we’re trapped here and can’t get out, everything is restricted. The Western Sect is almost completely gone. Let’s just live properly.”
“Hmph!”
Ksitigarbha snorted coldly and said, “If I don’t pay attention to these things, I might not know when the calamity will come.”
“Then, you should be like the wise and mighty Lord Taibai Jinxing and get more incarnations to go out.” Truth Listener snorted unwillingly. “It’s quite tiring to listen to the thoughts of all living beings in the world. I’ve been working for you for nothing every day!”
Ksitigarbha glared at Truth Listener and snorted unhappily. He closed his eyes and focused to comprehend the Reincarnation Technique.
At that moment, light laughter suddenly sounded from outside the window. Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener were shocked.
Ksitigarbha frowned.
Truth Listener’s green hair stood on ends. It looked up from the window and instantly lowered its head. Its body trembled.
Why did he come just like that?!
Li Changshou, who had been listening outside for a while, walked in. He cupped his hands at Ksitigarbha and smiled. “How have you been, Pagoda Master?”
“Thanks to Lord Taibai Jinxing, I’m safe for now.” Ksitigarbha frowned and said, “Now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, why did you come to me?”
Li Changshou said quickly, “Lend it to Truth Listener.”
Before he finished speaking, Li Changshou felt a furry head rubbing against his feet.
Ksitigarbha was speechless.
Although he wanted to say ‘scram’, he caved in to the loneliness and remembered his authority as a god.
Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “Now, the battle between Jie School and Chan School is so intense. The two sects are about to go to war. Fellow Daoist, what’s the use of using Truth Listener?”
Li Changshou looked at Ksitigarbha and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist, you seem to want to make fun of me?”
“The Dao Sects will not fight.”
Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “I’m just feeling indignant for you, Fellow Daoist. You’ve done so much for the unity of the three sects. In the end, the Great Tribulation has arrived. It’s still a drop in the bucket. The calamity cannot be changed. The calamity will descend. You have the ability to predict the heavens. What can you do?”
Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, when do you think I know about the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?”
Ksitigarbha stopped smiling and frowned.
“I don’t know.”
“From the moment I stepped onto the cultivation path.”
Li Changshou smiled and said warmly, “I knew that this would happen, but I still wanted to do those things. If I had to do it again, I would still do it. There are some things that I have to try. Moreover, under my attempts, many things have changed. Fellow Daoist, you want me to question myself with just a few words. You’re underestimating me too much.”
Ksitigarbha was silent.
“I’ll wait for you outside, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”
Truth Listener muttered softly and flew out of the Reincarnation Pagoda first.
Li Changshou cupped his hands at Ksitigarbha and said, “I’ll return it in three months.”
After saying that, he turned around and chased after Truth Listener. He ignored Truth Listener’s attempts to please him and asked him to ride it. He only gestured for Truth Listener to follow behind him.
Ksitigarbha shook his head gently and sat on the meditation cushion. He was stunned for a while. He did not say that he was too sad.
From afar, Ksitigarbha even heard Li Changshou and Truth Listener’s conversation. He could not help but grit his teeth and take out a whetstone.
“Lord Taibai Jinxing, why are you looking for me this time?”
“For something important. I want you to help me find Maitreya.”
“This, this… Maitreya is my master’s senior brother. Although the two of them don’t have a close relationship, they are still fellow disciples…”
Ksitigarbha smiled in satisfaction.
It was indeed a mythical beast that he had raised. Although it was usually passive, it was still very strong in principle.
Truth Listener said, “That’s too much!”
“Sure.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “As long as we can find Maitreya’s whereabouts, I will give you lots of delicacies.”
“Thank you, Lord Taibai Jinxing. I’ll look for Maitreya now!”
Ksitigarbha was speechless.
Let’s sharpen the knife.
The sharper the blade, the smoother it would be when he attacked. It would not affect the texture of the flesh.
Hence, three months later…
Mm…
Knock, knock, knock, knock!
Long horns, dense drums, and fast-moving figures.
The morning camp was filled with vitality.
This was the northwest direction of the central region of the South Continent. The army of the Shang Nation pressed down on the Qi Mountain and surrounded it. The military camps of the Zhou Nation’s army were set up continuously from the high ground of the Qi Mountain. At that moment, there was a battle exemption sign hanging above.
Today was the final deadline given by the ten Heavenly Lords.
