The wind and rain last night was clear, and he was drunk.
He put a hand on his waist and said, “It’s fine. It’s just that I’m a little overwhelmed.”
Little Qiong Peak.
Li Changshou stretched and floated out of the secret underground chamber. He strolled around the Pill Chamber with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to renovate the bridal chamber. Then, he went outside to rest.
There was a familiar reclining chair and a classic fan.
Li Changshou supported himself against the armrest and lay down. He listened to the birds and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. He looked at the ancient spiritual trees in the distance that swayed slightly and were at ease.
When did I return to the Little Qiong Peak?
Although Li Changshou was drunk, he still remembered everything clearly.
Revenge!
His senior brother, the Great Daoist Master was blatantly taking revenge! The revenge that he had planned for a long time!
They had originally agreed to hold a simple celebration banquet at the edge of the world. Back then, they had joined forces with the disciples of the Western Sect, Ksitigarbha, and Truth Listener to attack the Minor Chiliocosm of the otherworldly demons.
His Senior Brother had long been busy with that matter. He had set it up with Bai Ze, the members of Little Qiong Peak’s chess room, the Heavenly Courts clique, and some relatives. It was quite impressive.
Almost all living beings who were close to Li Changshou arrived at the banquet.
The Dragon Palace even specially sent hundreds of clam maidens to serve tea and water. They brought hundreds of boxes of useless treasures and made the atmosphere quite lively.
However, Li Changshou had just arrived. Before he could say anything, the Great Daoist Master rushed over and said that he wanted to use the Taiji Painting.
How could Li Changshou not give his senior brother the Taiji Painting?
He really did not expect his senior brother to ask the Grand Pure One to help!
The Grand Pure One used the “seed” that the Taiji Painting had dropped to send the Great Daoist Master back to the Kun Peng Mystic Realm. TheGreat Daoist Master then put the Kun Peng Mystic Realm into the Taiji Painting and used the Grand Pure One to summon the Taiji Painting and rushed back!
It was completed in one go!
In an instant, the Kun Peng Mystic Realm was established as a new Xuandu City. It was hung outside the old world barrier!
Li Changshou was impressed.
He had originally wanted to maintain a distance from the Primordial World. That way, he would feel a little mysterious and have more free time.
Now that the Great Daoist Master had caused a commotion, he had maintained a subtle connection with the Primordial World.
Fortunately, he had the Kun Peng Ark. In the future, he could go to the Chaos Sea for a honeymoon.
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was…
That was only a part of the Great Daoist Master’s plan.
At the banquet, Buddha Duobao and Zhao Gongming, who had secretly rushed over, pulled Li Changshou over and drank a few jars of immortal wine with him.
Li Changshou realized that something was amiss.
It was not that the Constitution Nurturing Pill was added to the wine. He was just barely injured. It was reasonable for the Great Daoist Master to give him some Constitution Nurturing Pills because he doted on him.
The problem was that Ling’e was pulled over by Jiu Jiu, Jiu Yiyi, and Jiu Shi who encouraged her to drink.
Yun Xiao was also surrounded by both her sister-in-laws and a few fairies from Jie School who kept toasting to her.
What level of intelligence do my two Dao companions have? Can they not see such a simple situation?
Then, the three of them tacitly chose not to expose each other. They drank, got tipsy, and chatted happily with their relatives and friends.
This time, he was playing along.
However, Li Changshou quickly realized that the ingredients in the wine had changed. Not only had they been replaced, but in the end, the Grand Pure One’s Spirit Conception Pill had also been added to his wine!
How could he tolerate that?
Li Changshou was about to reverse the situation. However, before he could do anything, he heard a soft shout from the side.
“Kneel!”
Half of the assists in the venue knelt down.
That scene was rarely seen in the Primordial World.
Fortunately, Li Changshou pulled Yun Xiao and Ling’e away and brought them back to the Little Qiong Peak in a manly manner.
Li Changshou naturally remembered what happened after that. However, in order to avoid embarrassment, he could only pretend that he did not remember.
Anyway, the most crucial step had already been taken. The blissful life of the Primordial World, where he would enjoy the company of many women, had already begun. It was fine for him to act dumb for a few days.
Last night, the three of them returned to the Little Qiong Peak. Ling’e took out the immortal wine that she had kept for many years with a red face and said that she wanted to treat her senior brother to another drink.
There were only the three of them.
Ling’e was soon drunk. After complaining about her senior brother for a while, she changed her tackling method and revealed her thoughts.
Yun Xiao listened quietly from the side. She leaned against the table and supported her cheek with her arm. The fairy’s beautiful face was slightly flushed.
Li Changshou took the initiative to hold Ling’e’s hand. The wine session became a confession session and they even said something that young people could not learn.
Later, Yun Xiao danced. Her movements were still a little stiff…
Later, Ling’e said that she was going to take a bath and left with Yun Xiao. However, after a while, the two of them changed into identical dresses that were made of thin fabric.
It was followed by some rated scenes.
As part of the Great Daoist Master’s plan, there were no living beings allowed on the Little Qiong Peak last night.
There were no spiritual beasts!
In short, it was very stable. The Great Daoist Master had successfully taken revenge and continued to face the troublesome issue of being pursued by Wen Jing.
Li Changshou… smiled evilly.
He sat there quietly and felt rather calm.
It was a peace that was difficult to express with words. There was no burden on his body, no sense of urgency in his mind, and a little of the effect of being a sage. He also felt a sense of loss that he had finally resolved after maintaining his clear Dao heart for more than a thousand years.
He could finally relax in the future.
However, he felt a little reluctant.
A few streams of light flew over from the world. They were the permanent residents of the Kun Peng Mystic Realm.
The experts of Jie School who had followed him to wander around the Chaos Sea had already moved away a few days ago and returned to the five continents to rebuild the damaged Green Touring Palace.
The Kun Peng Mystic Realm was divided into two parts. The outer part would be transformed into a town so that the Qi Refinement cultivators who wanted to explore the Chaos Sea could rest. They would also be accompanied by a guide who would show them around and take them to explore the Chaos Sea.
The inner part would be Little Qiong Peak and the surrounding mountains. It was naturally not open to the public.
Li Changshou would live there in the future. The members of the Immortal Du Sect, which had left with him back then, had also chosen to stay behind. They would live in seclusion and take care of the town at the edge of the Chaos.
He only needed to move his feet to return to the Primordial World from here. However, he was indeed a little far from the five continents.
Li Changshou stayed quietly for a while. He tapped his chest a few times with his fingers. A “model” of a hall that was one square foot in size flew out of his body and was sent to the bookshelf in the Pill Chamber by Li Changshou.
In the future, this place would be the Holy Land used to safeguard the Court of Dao.
What stood out was that he was carefree and casual.
He took out a few treasures and found them a place to stay in the Little Qiong Peak. It could be considered as protecting the Court of Dao.
Sister Zhong quickly hid the Chaos Bell’s main body and transformed into a maiden wearing a short skirt. She stepped on a pair of wooden clogs and sized Li Changshou up.
“You’re really something, aren’t you? I’ve always been worried that you would become the second Dao Ancestor. I didn’t expect that you would really offer the Great Dao of Equalization like you told me back then. Yes, yes. I’m convinced. I’ll be your personal guardian Dharma treasure in the future.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “What you have to protect is the Primordial World.”
Sister Zhong rolled her eyes and hugged her arms as she leaned against the door frame. She squinted and smiled. “Fortunately, I’m a Dharma treasure and not a living being. I don’t have any emotions. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have taken a liking to you.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“Speaking of the seven emotions and six desires, I was encouraged to drink at the banquet yesterday. Did the Lady of Earth’s seven emotions incarnations come too?”
“That’s right. The Seven Emotions came over and saw that you were being forced to drink by a group of boorish men and didn’t get to chat with you.”
Sister Zhong smiled and said, “It’s fine. You didn’t go far. You’re so close.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “I still have to thank the Earth Goddess and the Seven Emotions another day. They have really helped me a lot.”
“Ahem, ahem!”
“Sister Zhong, I have to thank you for turning the tide and giving me the possibility of going to the Heavenly Dao of Equalization.”
“That’s more like it.”
Sister Zhong smiled and squinted. Just as she was about to brag, she suddenly sensed a stream of light flying over. She immediately said, “I won’t disturb you for now. Let’s talk later.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. Just as he was about to sit up, the stream of light landed in front of the Pill Chamber and transformed into a petite figure.
Yes… It would be inappropriate to describe the former Saintess of the Heaven Ascension Hall as petite.
“Hehe, haha, hehehe.”
Jiu Jiu beamed with joy and her eyes were filled with mischief.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “What are you laughing at?”
“Little Disciple-Nephew, you’re promising.”
Jiu Jiu jumped up with her hands behind her back. Li Changshou calmly looked away at the pool at the side.
At that moment, Jiu Jiu was already used to wearing the attire of the Saintess of the Heaven Ascension Hall. She was dressed in a black chiffon dress and looked shy and pitiful. She smiled and looked around.
She suddenly thought of something and blinked. “Um, you won’t chase me away, right?”
“What are you talking about?” Li Changshou sighed and said, “The Little Qiong Peak is still your backyard. Who can stop you from going anywhere? Stay here. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. If you want to take a look in the future, bring my jade token along. With it, you can go to the Three Realms. You can also shock Connate Godfiends in the Chaos Sea!”
“Really?”
Jiu Jiu blinked. “I’ve drunk a lot. Don’t lie to me.”
“It’s a little exaggerated.” Li Changshou smiled and pointed to the side. He pointed at a meditation cushion.
He said, “Sit down and rest for a while.”
“Well, I’m suddenly not used to it.”
Jiu Jiu raised her hand and tidied the hair beside her ear. Her voice became softer and softer. “Then, I’ll go back to the Immortal Du Sect and move my pavilion over… The array formation that you made back then is still there… I… I’ll go back now.”
After saying that, she turned around and ran two steps before turning to look at Li Changshou. “Sugar Bean Pill?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Drunken Immortal.”
“I want a large portion!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Li Changshou replied weakly. Jiu Jiu smiled smugly. She was arrogant and energetic. With great sins, she summoned the Evil-Slaying Ruyi Sword and flew away on the huge gourd.
The Aunt-Master of the Court of Dao was considered an old senior in the Primordial World.
Little Aunt-Master.
Li Changshou smiled and did not have any strange thoughts.
Back when the Little Qiong Peak was at its lowest, she was the only one who would come to the Little Qiong Peak. She was naturally related to Exalted Wang Qing.
In the future, this place would be the holy land of the Primordial World. Every inch of land would be precious.
Li Changshou looked at Yun Xiao and Ling’e who were still sleeping soundly in the secret underground chamber. He stood up, stretched, and rode a white cloud towards the straw hut by the spiritual lake.
The spiritual lake was empty. The spiritual beast enclosure was empty.
Li Changshou finally returned to his senses.
Does it mean that the ingredients used during the immortal banquet were all provided by the Little Qiong Peak?!
Xiong Lingli even boasted daily that she’s the best companion of the spiritual beasts of the Little Qiong Peak. I have to dock her salary immediately!
When he arrived at the straw hut, Li Changshou walked around his straw hut before heading to his master’s straw hut.
The memorial tablet was spotless and the incense burner was filled with incense ashes. Clearly, Ling’e often came to take care of it when she wasn’t tired and had the time to spare.
Li Changshou lit up three incense sticks and kowtowed thrice. He took a few glances at the name on the memorial tablet and turned around to leave the house.
His Golden Core trembled, and his immortal power enveloped and sealed the straw hut. Li Changshou summoned two jade talismans that controlled the array formation of the Little Qiong Peak and dropped the straw hut into the mountain.
He stared at the stone surface wrapped in shallow grass and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
“Changshou…”
“Yes?”
Li Changshou turned around and saw only the weeping willow by the sparkling lake.
An old Daoist priest seemed to be standing on the lake. He disappeared quietly with the cool breeze.
Li Changshou smiled and scratched his head. He rode a cloud back to the Pill Chamber.
Ling’e and Yun Xiao had already woken up. At that moment, they had activated the immortal power barrier… It was an immortal power barrier that Li Changshou could not see through.
He naturally understood that his Dao companions were shy.
As an experienced person, he naturally had to take good care of their emotions. At this moment, it was best to show meticulous concern to prevent them from having negative thoughts about the future.
Li Changshou personally prepared some tea and brewed a pot of immortal tea to sober up.
Not long after, two wisps of clouds floated out of the secret underground chamber and turned into two fairies who were dressed similarly. They each had their long hair tied up. They were either beautiful and charming, or they were still talking.
Yun Xiao was generous. She took the initiative to pull Ling’e forward and smiled gently at Li Changshou.
Ling’e said, “Husband…”
Boom!
Smoke filled the air above his head. The Pill Chamber seemed to be calling for help for an emergency!
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The three of them got closer for a while and saw more than ten streams of light flying back to the Kun Peng Mystic Realm.
On the Golden Roc’s back, Princess Long Ji rushed over with her small luggage. She naturally wanted to stay on the Little Qiong Peak.
Yun Xiao pulled Ling’e to the neighboring peak to look for Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao. They seemed to be fleeing in a sorry state.
Li Changshou smiled and squinted. He waited in front of the Pill Chamber for Long Ji to come.
The daughter of the Jade Emperor was different. She was a legitimate god and the Heavenly Courts could come and go freely.
“Master!”
Long Ji shouted sweetly and sized up her master’s changes curiously. She blushed and pursed her lips before lowering her head and handing a letter to Li Changshou.
“Master, Marshal Youqin asked me to bring her over. Previously, she went to the banquet. Master had already left first.”
“Yes?”
Li Changshou took the envelope. It was rare for Youqin Xuanya to use paper.
Li Changshou opened the envelope and took out the letter. He read it word by word and smiled.
[Senior Brother:
The people of the world were not harmed by your kindness. The world is clear, the Three Realms have returned to order, and the Heavenly Dao no longer has any selfish desires. Every time I think about what you’ve done for living beings, I feel ashamed. I feel that I cannot compare to you. In the past, the Immortal Du Sect was fortunate to have been recognized by you. We received a lot of care from you during the trip to the North Continent. I knew then that you are not an ordinary person but a genius who had experienced the heavens.
I still remembered that when you said that you could not get close to women. I was ignorant and deliberately touched you to cause trouble for you. In hindsight, I was happy but it makes me uneasy too.
When the sect suffered a calamity, Senior Brother, you stood forward bravely. However, you did not covet credit or sought to increase your reputation. I did not know about your aspirations and I feel very ashamed. The past is still fresh in my memory. I have never forgotten it.
Senior Brother, I have been admiring you for a long time. I know that I’m not good enough, so I did not dare to mention it. Today, I decided to tell you the truth because I want to be at ease and at peace. I also hope that you will not forget me.
Senior Brother, you don’t have to reply. I am no longer in the Heavenly Courts.
There are not many demons in the five continents. I only hold a leisurely position in the Heavenly Courts, so I decided to resign and return to the wilderness. I will travel through the trichiliocosm alone with my sword. If I encounter any injustice, I will extend the righteousness of the Heavenly Courts and do justice. I will have no regrets if I can save someone. If I get tired in the future and no longer have the energy to travel, I wonder if I can ask you to let me stay in the straw hut and watch over you all day long.
Xuanya.]
“Junior Sister Youqin…”
Li Changshou folded the letter and put it back into the envelope. He put it in his sleeve solemnly.
“Long Ji, do you have a communication jade token that links to the Heavenly Courts?”
“Yes, Master.”
“Get the Heavenly Courts to help me spread a message. You have to let Xuanya hear it,” Li Changshou said slowly. “Just say that she can come back anytime. Don’t worry… Forget it. Just say that she can come back anytime.”
“Hey!”
Long Ji agreed and took out a jade token. She asked, “Master, do you have any other instructions for me?”
“No.”
Long Ji flicked her slender fingers, and the jade token quickly tore through the air and rushed to the nearest place where the Heavenly Courts’ troops were stationed.
“By the way, Master, have you heard?”
“Heard what?”
Long Ji whispered, “The Grand Pure One is going to move the Grand Pure One Temple to the Kun Peng Mystic Realm.”
“Huh?”
Li Changshou widened his eyes. “Really?”
“Really,” Long Ji said. “The Great Daoist Master seems to have been called back. Aunt Wen Jing told me about this.”
“Don’t call her Aunt,” Li Changshou said casually. “Call her Queen.”
“Yes?”
“Ahem, I have to make some preparations to welcome Teacher to the Kun Peng Mystic Realm, Teacher.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Later, I’ll go to Senior Brother’s peak to pack up and give Teacher space.”
Long Ji could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
She placed the luggage at the side and sat on the meditation cushion beside Li Changshou. She asked softly, “Master, I actually don’t understand what has happened recently. Can you explain to me? The world seems to have changed a lot, but nothing seems to have changed.”
“What’s there to say? It’s just some fighting and killing.”
Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He lay on the reclining chair and enjoyed the peace and the joy of teaching others.
He smiled and said, “Disciple, remember that no matter how the world evolves, those who can win do not have any other tricks. In the end, it’s just four words. It depends on your nature. In the past, when I look at the future, the alternation of time and space seems to be just to explain a principle. That is the beginning of everything and also the end of everything. It contains all the true meaning and the end of everything.”
“Master, what is that?”
“The Dao is natural.”
…
The End.
