My Senior Brother is Too Steady - Chapter 725
Saint Jie Yin was on the verge of collapse.
What is going on? Is the Heavenly Dao deliberately messing with the Western Sect?
They had agreed that if they were to become Saints and follow the heavens, the Western Sect would prosper. They would become the Heavenly Dao Saints, who were no different from the Three Pure Ones.
However, what was it now?
His junior brother had been killed by a non-Saint. That was actually barely acceptable. After all, his junior brother had gone too far. Many a time, as his senior brother, he could not help but slap him twice.
But now!
The foundation of the prosperity of the Western Sect was the only top-grade Connate numinous treasure that he, the Saint, could use to compare with the three Pure Spirit Treasures, the twelfth-grade Golden Merit Lotus…
He was about to die!
He actually handed the sect-protecting numinous treasure to a traitor to manage. He had even managed it for so many years!
The mosquito did not attack. However, he waited for an opportunity to take out the Jie Yin Divine Banner and used the opportunity of Jie School’s rebellion to convert a large number of Jie School disciples into disciples of the Western Sect. He suddenly attacked!
Not long after the luck of the Western Sect was filled… the golden lotus was gone!
According to the rules of the Great Dao of Transcendence, he could not kill these new disciples of the Western Sect.
It was true. In just an instant, the luck of the Western Sect, which he had painstakingly maintained for a few hundred thousand years, collapsed!
The backlash from the negative karma that they had accumulated previously, the backlash from most of the negative karma on the disciples of Jie School, and the twelfth-grade golden lotus that was suppressing their luck had lost its spiritual energy…
The Western Sect could be changed to the Little Jie School!
The predicament that Jie School faced during the Great Tribulation was shifted to the Western Sect!
The disciples of Jie School who had received the help of the Saint had survived!
How could he not think about it? That was Li Changshou’s plan. That was the scheme of Jie School!
“Li Changgeng!” Jie Yin gritted his teeth and cursed, “Let me go back. I owe you a favor today!”
Li Changshou was silent. He activated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to its limits. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda suppressed him. Even though his Qi and blood were in turmoil, he was fighting for more opportunities for the mosquitoes to escape.
At that moment, it was no longer practical for Daoist Wen Jing to go to the Heavenly Courts to be a “hidden blade”.
Previously, he had already given the mosquitoes directions. To be safe, he asked Wen Jing to go to the Xuandu City to look for Eldest Senior Brother.
At the same time, he had mentioned to his teacher a long time ago that Eldest Senior Brother did not enter the world.
Although the true reason might offend the Great Daoist Master, if the Great Daoist Master rashly entered and could not resist the Heavenly Dao, he would definitely become the weakness of Ren School…
It was very real.
Li Changshou and Saint Jie Yin barely fought for a while.
“I’m under the orders of the Dao Ancestor to capture Taibai Jinxing!”
A low shout came from the sky. Several streams of light smashed down and turned into six gray-robed elders who rushed into the battle.
A faint sneer appeared on Li Changshou’s lips. He turned around and “floated” hundreds of kilometers away from the Saint and the six gray-robed elders.
On the East Ocean, the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting were still appearing. Yun Xiao was still saving people. Li Changshou had to protect them for a while.
He held the God-Slaying Spear and smiled.
“Fellow Daoist, are you not going to appear?”
The group of old Daoists had cold expressions and did not reply. They shot out streams of light and rushed towards Li Changshou.
Saint Jie Yin turned around and left. He grabbed the Welcoming Divine Banner and rushed back to the spiritual mountain.
Li Changshou turned around and flew quickly. He brought the gray-robed old Daoists higher into the sky and pretended to attack the South-Heaven Gate.
At the Heaven Gate, a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals who did not know what had happened were suddenly pushed back into the Heaven Gate by the Heavenly Courts’ array formation. The God-Conferment Platform also appeared in the Middle Heaven Gate.
The entire 33 Heavens of the Heavenly Courts were already enveloped by the rich power of the Heavenly Dao. Boundless spiritual energy gathered towards the Heavenly Courts.
Clearly, the Dao Ancestor was afraid that Li Changshou would do something extreme.
Li Changshou was just putting on an act. He would not approach the South-Heaven Gate.
The Heavenly Courts had carried hundreds of years of his blood, sweat, and tears. There were many of his friends. He had not reached a dead end. Why would he do these?
In Chaoge City, Youqin Xuanya, who was hiding in the corner of the palace with Yin Hong and Yin Jiao, was watching the figure in the sky that was getting further and further away.
She went up to help, but she had already received a voice transmission from Senior Brother Changshou who told her not to die. Everything was under control.
The aftermath of such a battle was not something she could withstand.
Is everything under control?
Senior Brother is just trying to be brave. He fell out with the Heavenly Dao, fought with the Saint, and was captured by the Dao Ancestor…
“Senior Brother…”
Youqin Xuanya muttered and could not help but bite her lips.
She suddenly thought of something and took out the treasure pouch from her sleeve. She probed it with her immortal senses and saw a jade token, a few numinous treasures, and bottles of pills.
There was a letter in the jade token. The content was just to remind her to do her job well in the Heavenly Courts. She did not have to worry about him in the future. He would live very freely in the Outer World.
The letter also mentioned that there were some problems in this world. However, this problem was not serious to the extent that he had to break the world and make everything return to silence. He would think of a way to fix these problems.
Those were not levels that she could be involved in. What she could do and needed to do was…
“Be yourself and stick to your justice. Don’t let this light dim in the Primordial World.”
Youqin Xuanya held the treasure pouch tightly and looked up at the sky.
She took a deep breath and calmed down.
After all, she was no longer the little female immortal who had just left the Immortal Du Sect. She should have some opinions and take on more responsibilities.
The thunder in all directions was weakening, and the Heavenly Punishment was slowly stopping.
Waves of spiritual energy returned to the Primordial World from the Nine Heavens.
The spiritual energy seemed to be abundant, but after it dissipated in the world, he realized that there was about 20% less total.
In order to seal the Grand Pure One’s Yin-Yang Nature Great Dao, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had consumed nearly 20% of the spiritual energy in the five continents.
In the sky, the number of gray-robed old Daoists doubled.
That was the Dao Ancestor’s power recovering rapidly. He seemed to really want to capture Li Changshou.
At that moment, Li Changshou was using an escape technique. He fought and retreated. From time to time, he would return and kill one or two gray-robed old Daoists.
Until…
The Yin and Yang Qi gathered in front of Li Changshou. The Taiji Painting returned, and Li Changshou turned around and fled into the clouds.
Yun Xiao turned into a wisp of white light and entered Li Changshou’s sleeve. Her figure turned into two to three inches.
She knew very well that this was not the time to be emotional or prove that she could help him.
It was enough to not cause trouble for him and let him not have any worries. They would live and die together.
Li Changshou asked via voice transmission, “Where is Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao?”
Yun Xiao hurriedly said, “I’ve already gone to Xuandu City. I sent it to the Taiji Painting.”
His spiritual perception jumped, but it was the first time the Taiji Painting had said so much.
“Little Disciple, don’t worry. I’ve already sent everything I should. I had previously been ordered by the old master to bury many Yin and Yang Qi. At this moment, you can retreat safely. Master is fine. He’s just sealed by the Heavenly Dao. Hong Jun can’t use the Yin-Yang Dao. Otherwise, the Clarity Turbidity will return to the Chaos.”
“Let’s go.”
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and looked in the direction of Chaoge City.
Over there, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning stood quietly with his disciples, watching his figure.
Over there, Jiang Shang was still holding the God Striking Whip. He did not know if he should land it on Daji.
Youqin Xuanya’s eyes were filled with starlight as she stared in the direction that he had left.
However, what puzzled Li Changshou was that the Dao Ancestor was still continuously sending out the gray-robed old Daoist priest, as if he wanted to kill him.
Something was wrong…
The Dao Ancestor knew that he had many trump cards.
Moreover, the six Saints were currently controlled by the Heavenly Dao. The power of the Heavenly Dao was unprecedentedly strong and had already reached a certain threshold.
At that moment, the Dao Ancestor should be looking forward to Li Changshou, who represented a variable, escaping from the world and allowing the Heavenly Dao to reach perfection in an instant and imprison the power of the Primordial World living beings.
That was one of the Dao Ancestor’s ultimate goals, and it was the time when the Dao Ancestor was closest to that goal.
The Grand Pure One’s suppression was the best opportunity for the Dao Ancestor.
There must be a plan here.
Li Changshou’s eyelids twitched. He rushed out of the East Ocean and left the five continents, entering the range of the trichiliocosm.
There were already twenty to thirty gray-robed old Daoists chasing behind him. Streams of light kept flying, and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was crying out from the attacks.
It was the comfortable kind.
A few streams of light suddenly appeared in front of him. They were actually gray-robed old Daoists.
Li Changshou’s Dao runes dissipated, and his heart trembled. He suddenly captured a scene.
Above a world of the Major Chiliocosm, spiritual energy gathered. A wisp of blue aura that looked like Primordial Violet Qi descended and turned into the figure of a gray-robed old Daoist priest.
The old Daoist priest opened his eyes and looked in Li Changshou’s direction. He turned into a stream of light and flew over.
This situation happened everywhere in the trichiliocosm!
The Dao Ancestor was mobilizing the origin power of the trichiliocosm and pretending to capture him!
At this moment!
“Teacher!”
“Master!”
A hurried shout came from ahead. A golden line flew towards Li Changshou.
Golden-Winged Roc!
On the back of the Golden-Winged Roc, who else could it be but Long Ji, who had hurriedly gone to seek help from the Golden-Winged Roc?
“Don’t come over!”
Li Changshou shouted, “Retreat!”
However, it was too late.
Dozens of black chains flew out from the hands of the two gray-robed old Daoists. In the blink of an eye, they set up a huge chain net that enveloped the Golden-Winged Roc and Long Ji and pressed them into the void.
Li Changshou cursed, “Dao Ancestor, if you hurt them!”
“I’m under the orders of the Dao Ancestor to capture the traitor Taibai Jinxing!”
A gray-robed old Daoist priest shouted loudly. He raised his hand and pointed a finger, but only made Long Ji and the Golden-Winged Roc fall asleep.
He understood.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.
The Dao Ancestor wanted a name and a righteous cause.
So what if I give it to him?
Li Changshou suddenly sped up and rushed towards the Xuandu City.
In the void, starlight shone and the galaxy was brilliant. Gray-robed Daoists appeared in the world and flew towards Li Changshou.
The sounds of capturing the traitors of the heavens lingered in his ears, and the shouts of receiving the orders of the Dao Ancestor were especially ear-piercing.
In Chaoge City, Yang Jian and Nezha stood together and looked at the land beyond the heavens. Their masters stood behind them.
Nezha kicked the gravel at his feet and muttered, “Uncle Chang’an is not a traitor.”
“Ah.” Yang Jian sighed and said, “This world is filled with evil.”
“Be careful with your words,” Perfected Yu Ding said in a low voice with a solemn expression.
On the other side, Perfected Taiyi carried his ball-shaped Dharma artifact and stared at the sky. He used his eyes to attack frantically, but unfortunately, there was no response.
Hence, four hours later…
Li Changshou’s escape technique was activated to the maximum. He used the door-opening escape technique several times and arrived in front of the Xuandu City’s entrance.
However, just as he was about to leave the world, a dense group of figures appeared in front of him.
The gray-robed elders gathered in groups. There were almost three to four hundred of them. They gathered their mystical abilities and Dharma powers and waited for Li Changshou to appear.
He even used the array formation to seal the inner side of the Xuandu City’s entrance, causing it to be filled with Purple Heaven Divine Lightning.
From the looks of it, he did not want Li Changshou to leave safely.
What is the Dao Ancestor plotting…
Ah…
The roar shook the void!
Golden light suddenly appeared in the void. Nine ancient azure dragons pulled a carriage over and almost instantly rushed to Li Changshou’s side.
The carriage opened and a huge hand grabbed Li Changshou.
Li Changshou looked up and his eyes widened.
He was dressed in white…
Jade Emperor!
“Come quickly!”
The Jade Emperor shouted softly and pulled Li Changshou into the carriage. Then, he shouted loudly. Golden light bloomed on his forehead. He protected the Nine Dragons Carriage and collided with the overlapping figures in front of him!
At that moment, Li Changshou immediately understood what the Dao Ancestor was plotting.
He had become a pawn of the Dao Ancestor, a pawn to plot against the Jade Emperor!
“Your Majesty… this counts…”
Li Changshou suddenly choked. He looked at the Jade Emperor’s frowning and focused face and whispered, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
“Changgeng, I can’t help you much. I can only send you off. Senior Brother Taiqing is only sealed. Don’t be anxious.”
The Nine Dragons Carriage rushed forward frantically. The Jade Emperor’s body kept trembling, and the golden light on his forehead flickered.
In front, gray-robed old Daoists were sent flying by the carriage.
The Jade Emperor turned to look at Li Changshou and smiled. “Don’t worry. We are the Heavenly Emperor after all. The Dao Ancestor will not do anything to me. However, the Heavenly Emperor is quite sullen. He can’t protect anyone.”
“Your Majesty, please bear with it and not do anything extreme. I will deal with everything.”
“Yes, I can’t be too extreme.”
The Jade Emperor shook his head. A divine sword condensed in his hand and he slashed forward.
The carriage had already rushed to the entrance of the Heaven and Earth passageway. The Jade Emperor’s slash calmed the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning inside.
“Go.” The Jade Emperor looked at Li Changshou, his eyes shining. “Take care.”
“Your Majesty, take care!”
Li Changshou lowered his head and bowed.
“I, Taibai Jinxing, will temporarily leave the Three Realms!”
After saying that, Li Changshou turned around and jumped towards the path.
Gray shadows pounced from behind. The white-robed Heavenly Emperor had a long whip in his hand and shot countless golden lightning bolts in front of him.
Li Changshou did not dare to look back. He was afraid that he could not help but think too much. He was afraid that he would shatter his Clear Dao Heart.
Behind him, the world passageway was quickly closing.
Yes, closing.
The pathway to the Xuandu City was the final flaw in the Primordial World. It was also the direct manifestation of the 50th Great Dao and the 49th Heavenly Evolution. However, as Li Changshou leaped out, the flaw in the place was filled and quickly closed.
Perfected Heavenly Dao!
Along with that, the “membrane” that could originally allow the living beings of the Primordial World to enter and leave freely, but could only isolate the living beings of the Chaos, which was wrapped around the Primordial World, was also condensing into essence!
It severed the connection between the world and the Chaos Sea!
As he escaped, the Heavenly Dao seized this opportunity to build a barrier between the worlds. It made them become one, and the Great Dao that should have been continuously evolving froze at that moment.
Li Changshou could not help but take a look. Before the passageway closed.
The white-robed Heavenly Emperor waved his lightning whip to fight hundreds of gray-robed Daoists, but he was bound by chains.
The carriage was shattered, but the Heavenly Emperor’s dignity did not weaken. He even made the gray-robed elders hesitate.
However, in the end, this was a trap set up for the Heavenly Emperor.
The ripples of the universe were gradually smoothed out. The Jade Emperor looked behind him.
The path to Xuandu City had been completely sealed. There was only a faint, eggshell-like barrier left.
He heaved a sigh of relief and put down the lightning whip in his hand. His body was suppressed by the gray-robed old Daoists and bound by chains.
“How dare you, Hao Tian! Do you know your crime for illegally betraying Heaven?!”
The Jade Emperor smiled self-deprecatingly and said calmly, “I’ll let Teacher deal with me.”
“Bring him back to the Purple Cloud Palace!”
“Bring him back to the Purple Cloud Palace!”
The old Daoists turned around and were about to fly away when the Jade Emperor slowly closed his eyes.
Dong!
The universe was trembling. The world barrier that had just condensed behind him was trembling slightly.
Dong!
Dong, dong, dong!
The old Daoists immediately turned around. However, before they could do anything, the barrier of the world suddenly shattered!
The inner entrance of Xuandu City appeared again!
The black shadow stood at the edge of the world and held a spear. He shouted into the world,
“Hong Jun!”
The Three Realms were shocked!
“If you dare to hurt Teacher, the Jade Emperor, Uncle-Master, and the mortal Goddess! I’ll let you return to ashes with the world! I’ll look at you from outer space! I’ll look at you from the sky!”
The gray-robed old Daoists rushed forward and expelled the figure. They quickly filled the gap.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun revealed a cold smile. He waved his sleeve and blue streams of light scattered in all directions.
The origin power of the world was directly connected to the Heaven and Earth Barrier around the Primordial World!
That was not the end. Hong Jun summoned a divine banner that was engraved with talismans and threw it at the 33 Heavens. It floated on the highest level and rotated gently.
Circles of blue light patterns spread out in the Three Realms with the Heavenly Courts as the center.
In the next moment, the Jade Emperor was bound by layers of chains. His figure appeared in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall again, but he was tied to the throne. His white robe was covered by a yellow robe, and a crown with a curtain appeared on his head. The entire Lingxiao Hall was dyed golden.
Blue ripples spread.
In front of the Lingxiao Hall, a gray-robed old Daoist priest transformed into a white-robed old man. He had a benevolent expression and a kind face. There was a golden pentagram on his forehead. He walked into the hall with a horsetail whisk and knelt in front of the Jade Emperor.
“I’m Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng. Greetings, Your Majesty.”
The Jade Emperor nodded slowly with a cold expression.
Taibai Jinxing walked up the platform and stood beside the throne. He slowly closed his eyes.
Blue ripples spread.
In the South Continent, Yang Jian and Nezha suddenly felt that they had lost something. Some images in their hearts were erased, and some images were formed again.
Behind them, Perfected Yu Ding held Perfected Taiyi’s wrist. Yu Ding lowered his head, and his eyes were filled with jade light. He gently crushed the blue ripples.
In the Four Seas Dragon Palace, apart from the four Dragon Kings and a few elders of the dragon race, the dragon children, the guards, and the sea maidens, there was also a figure in their hearts that shattered and returned to a thinner and simpler figure.
Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng, the right-hand man of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts, is often a messenger of the Heavenly Courts.
In the various Sea God temples in the South Ocean, the two statues slowly turned into the image of the dragon-headed old man. The mortals did not notice anything.
‘Hasn’t the Sea God always been the Dragon King?’ They felt that way.
The Heavenly Courts, the training ground of the Heavenly River.
Ao Yi, who was meditating, opened his eyes. He looked down at his palm and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Why did I cry… I think… I can’t remember.
Not far away, Bian Zhuang, who was sleeping soundly, scratched his head and muttered, “What gift should I give to Taibai Jinxing later?”
Blue ripples spread.
In the Netherworld.
The Immortal Du Sect.
The demons at the border of the North Continent, the Magi tribes in the North Continent, the demons in the Flowerfruit Mountain of the East Continent…
In the Fire Cloud Cave.
The human emperors looked at each other. Fuxi raised his hand and gestured for them to keep quiet. They nodded and agreed.
“Let’s drink.” Emperor Huang Xuanyuan smiled and said, “Let’s celebrate.”
“What’s there to celebrate?”
Emperor Da Yu muttered softly.
Zhuanxu smiled and said, “It’s good that he left. For some reason, I feel that there’s some hope now.”
The human emperors chuckled.
In the Goddess’s Palace.
Saint Nuwa clenched her fists gently and took a deep breath. She relaxed her fists and continued to flip through the painting in front of her. She seemed to be completely unaware of the turmoil in the world.
At the Five Village Temple.
The old Daoist priest sitting under the ginseng fruit tree chuckled. He looked up at the Xuandu City and sighed.
“It’ll be troublesome if you want to go out in the future.”
“Master, what’s wrong?” A boy beside him asked softly.
“Don’t ask too much. Feed these rotten fruits to the immortal crane.”
The old Daoist priest chuckled and flicked his horsetail whisk. He sang an ancient poem and flipped open the thin book in his hand.
Its name was the Earth Book. It was originally the membrane of the world.
…
Xuandu City was gradually drifting away.
The moment the Heaven and Earth Path closed, the three thousand perfected Great Dao, Xuandu City, was pushed into the Chaos Sea.
Li Changshou stood quietly in front of the disappearing vortex. He placed his hands behind his back and lowered his head. His expression was solemn.
Behind him, the figures did not dare to disturb him. They only waited quietly with sorrowful expressions.
Waves suddenly surged in the Chaos Sea. A black shadow suddenly appeared, scaring many experts who were about to activate their Dharma treasures.
“It’s Kun Peng,” Li Changshou said. “There’s no hurry. It will bring the Xuandu City to a place with spiritual energy.”
The Xuandu City trembled a little. It was already being carried by the Kun Peng on its back and escaping into the depths of the Chaos Sea.
There were indeed many experts gathered in Xuandu City, but they were still worried.
Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit. Apart from Daoist Duobao and the Goddess of Wudang, the eldest and personal disciples of Jie School had all escaped.
There was no need to think too much about entering the God-Conferment Platform. At that moment, it was not easy for Zhao Gongming and Jin Ling to not be affected by the blue ripples.
Lu Yue was not here. Actually, he had a chance to escape, but he chose to stay in the world in the end.
He had no choice. He could not leave.
Bai Ze created a barrier and protected the Immortal Du Sect from being corroded by the Chaos aura.
Exalted Wang Qing, Jiang Lin’er, Jiu Yiyi, Jiu Wu, and Jiu Shi were already there.
In another corner, the Great Daoist Master was a little anxious.
Kong Xuan sat by the side and sulked.
Daoist Wen Jing, who was dressed in a golden dress, rubbed a strand of her beautiful hair with her bare hand. She looked at the Great Daoist Master shyly, her eyes filled with tenderness and honey.
Consort ~
Ah, no, Great Daoist Master ~
“Did I do well this time?”
“Well…” The Great Daoist Master laughed dryly and hurriedly looked at Kong Xuan. He only snorted coldly.
Jiu Jiu and Ling’e held hands and stood at a short distance behind Li Changshou. They stood together with Fairy Yun Xiao and looked at Li Changshou’s back worriedly.
Li Changshou sighed and slowly sat down. He was a little tired. The Dao runes around him dissipated and he sighed softly again.
He was out.
He still came out.
Although everything was going according to plan and he had an 80% chance of winning, he was still worried and helpless.
He did not think of sacrificing anyone, nor did he think of making anyone sacrifice anything for victory. He only deduced some situations and “saw” them, so he could plan.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and began to meditate.
Xuandu City fell silent again. The immortals of the Jie School walked forward and bowed to Li Changshou. Then, they found a place to meditate and cultivate.
Fairy Yun Xiao raised her hand and hugged Ling’e’s shoulder. She whispered something to Ling’e to not worry.
In the beginning, only the Little Qiong Peak wandered.
Now, the Kun Peng was carrying the entire Xuandu City.
The path ahead was vast, and he did not know the years.
There was no spiritual energy in the six directions.
After being depressed for more than half a year, Li Changshou had also meditated for more than half a year. The Kun Peng finally stopped slowly and arrived at a rare immortal realm in the Chaos Sea.
Kun Peng Mystic Realm.
Li Changshou pulled himself together and stood up. He gathered the immortals and drew an area in the Kun Peng Mystic Realm for them to cultivate and wait for their funeral.
The Great Daoist Master wanted to talk to Li Changshou, but Kong Xuan snorted coldly and flew towards the remote mountain. He could only glare at Li Changshou and quickly chase after him.
There was a golden mosquito behind him.
Li Changshou looked at Yun Xiao and Ling’e and said, “You guys, accompany me for a while.”
“Yes.” Yun Xiao and Ling’e agreed together. They watched Li Changshou ride a cloud forward and follow behind him.
Jiu Jiu looked at that scene and smiled in relief.
Jiang Lin’er nudged Jiu Jiu with her shoulder and teased, “Hey, aren’t you going to interfere?”
“Stop fooling around.” Jiu Jiu snorted. “I’m already here. There’s still a long way to go. What’s the hurry?”
The immortals beside her chuckled.
The hall over there was quickly enveloped by light and isolated from the outside detection.
Bi Xiao whispered, “Brother-in-law must be feeling uncomfortable.”
Qiong Xiao also said, “Uncle-Master is sealed by the Heavenly Dao. Brother-in-law was still the high and mighty Taibai Jinxing the day before. Now, he has become the traitor that the Dao Ancestor mentioned.”
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit asked softly, “Can we curse the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor now?”
The immortals nodded.
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit gritted her teeth and chided softly, “Really! You’re not reasonable at all! You’re evil!”
The immortals were speechless.
It was unknown who laughed, but a group of people laughed. There was no lack of vulgar words towards the Heavenly Dao in their mouths, causing the mystic realm to be filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
In the hall.
Four beautiful figures knelt in front of Li Changshou. At that moment, strange ripples surged around them.
They were the four Goddesses of the outer realm.
Mei Liubing, Mei Wenhua, Mei Dixian, and Mei Xinqing held hands and tried their best to sense something. Soon, they said,
“Master, it’s done.”
“Alright.” Li Changshou immediately sat cross-legged. A little light shone from his forehead and merged with the ripples around the v.
Soon, Li Changshou chuckled and raised his head to laugh. His laughter echoed in the hall.
Ling’e and Yun Xiao looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
Ling’e gestured with her hand.
Is Senior Brother too agitated? Is this place broken?
Yun Xiao frowned slightly and blinked at Ling’e.
“He should be sad and happy. Let’s comfort him.”
At that moment, Ling’e took half a step forward and smiled. “Senior Brother, why are you so happy?”
Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Can you share it with us?”
“Alright, alright. Hahahaha!”
Li Changshou jumped up and immediately activated his clear Dao heart to suppress his emotions. He smiled and said, “Do you think that we have lost? Along the way, I was actually acting for his peers to see. There might be the Dao Ancestor’s spies inside… Of course, I mean it’s possible. Don’t show any signs of happiness later. Come, come here!”
Yun Xiao and Ling’e were confused. However, they followed Li Changshou and sat on a jade seat.
Li Changshou took a meditation cushion and sat down. He looked at Yun Xiao and then at Ling’e. He smiled and said, “From today onwards, we will not separate. Ling’e, Yun Xiao, let’s become Dao companions and spend the rest of our lives here.”
“Yes,” Ling’e replied with a red face.
Yun Xiao said, “I’ll naturally do as you say. However, why did you suddenly mention that just now?”
“Your logic is a little chaotic,” Li Changshou said. “Let me think about it… In that case, I’ll start from the beginning. You should already know what the greatest problem in the Primordial World is.”
Ling’e said, “The Heavenly Dao has selfish desires. The Dao Ancestor wants to suppress the power of living beings.”
“That’s right. This is the illness of the Primordial World. At first, I did not want to interfere. However, Master’s death touched me.”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “A sense of mission or whatsoever is just nonsense. I wanted to kill the Heavenly Dao. In the beginning, I wanted to avenge Master. This is the origin power. However, think about it. The Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor controls the world and possesses the essence of the world. They can mobilize the spiritual energy of the entire Primordial World. How can they defeat him?”
Yun Xiao and Ling’e shook their heads at the same time. At that moment, they could already see the strong desire to confide in their senior brother and Dao companion.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “The first person I thought of was Teacher. Teacher is almost omnipotent and is only one step away from the Primordial Chaos Limitless Great Dao Saint. However, during a few conversations with Teacher, Teacher revealed a few important pieces of information. He was one step late, one step behind the Dao Ancestor. The Heavenly Dao Fruit should have been inherited by the Three Pure Ones and protected the world. It had been snatched away by Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. He had even taken them in as disciples before the Three Pure Ones comprehended the Dao. In other words, the Dao Ancestor is fundamentally a villain. However, Teacher was too late. He had lost the restrictions on the Dao Ancestor. Teacher was just unable to deal with the integration of the Dao Ancestor and the essence of the world. Otherwise, he would have long overturned the Dao Ancestor. That was also the reason why Teacher was suppressed by the Dao Ancestor this time.I did not tell Teacher about my plan, but I believe that with Teacher’s ability, he understood my plan at some point in time.”
Ling’e asked in a daze, “What plan?”
“The plan to kill the Dao Ancestor.”
Li Changshou took a deep breath and smiled. “This process needs to be safe and sound. If we expose ourselves in advance, we will be killed by the Dao Ancestor. Therefore, I first carried out a superficial plan, called the thousand-year plan of ‘X’s Disappearance’. The Dao Ancestor knew that the Dao Ancestor had given me help because he wanted me to become the one who escaped. After the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he would leave the Primordial World. From then on, he would completely eliminate the changes in the world and stabilize the world to achieve his ultimate goal. I can only see three levels of the Dao Ancestor’s ultimate goal. I helped the Heavenly Courts rise and arranged for Yang Jian, Li Jing, Nezha, and the other variables to comprehend the Great Dao of Equalization. I controlled most of the variables other than me. That way, their variables would gather on me. Unfortunately, I cannot arrange for Lei Zhenzi. However, there are not many variables in this fellow. He is considered a tool arranged by the Heavenly Dao. There is no need to mention Huang Tianhua, who is just a disciple of Chan School. Of course, the most important thing is my Great Dao of Equalization. When I realized that I had already occupied 70% of the changes in the world, the Heavenly Dao could not attack me directly. I am no longer in danger of dying. What I need to worry about now are your lives.”
Li Changshou paused and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
“After all, I can’t let anything happen to you or the people you care about. Although it was a little troublesome, he had barely succeeded. You might not understand why I seem to be confident of victory now that we have been chased out of the Primordial World.”
“Yes…”
Ling’e asked cooperatively.
Li Changshou asked, “Think about it. How can you win when you can’t kill Dao Ancestor Hong Jun when he controls the power of the world and the three thousand Great Dao? Moreover, how can the Dao Ancestor win since the ancient times?”
Yun Xiao hummed softly and said, “I have no chance of winning.”
“Yes, before the Dao Ancestor attacks this time, we have no chance of winning. Even if the Three Pure Ones rebelled, as long as they did not dare to kill the natural source of the world, they would eventually be exhausted of their Dharma powers and suppressed by the Dao Ancestor’s Primordial Spirit Qi. The essence of the world cannot be sealed or suppressed. That is the most troublesome thing.”
Li Changshou stood up and waved his hand. The shadow of the Primordial World appeared.
“But now? Look! The Primordial World is wrapped in the Heaven and Earth Barrier formed by spiritual energy. Hong Jun released the origin power of the world. The world is perfected.
However, at the same time, Hong Jun merged with the Primordial World! Hong Jun is now the Primordial World. He controls everything in the Three Realms.”
Ling’e frowned and said, “But what does that mean…”
“It means that the Dao Ancestor has used up all his trump cards. It meant that the Dao Ancestor and the lower-level Great Dao of the Heavenly Dao had a conflict. It means that as long as we open a gap in the Primordial World, we will create the Dao Ancestor’s flaw! The original Dao Ancestor did not have any flaws. However, after he perfected the Heavenly Dao, perfected his body, and completely merged with the Primordial World, although he is still perfect, he can already have flaws.”
Li Changshou laughed and said, “In order to let the Dao Ancestor take action, Teacher and I have tacitly arranged everything that happened today. The Dao Ancestor is most afraid of Teacher. Teacher took the opportunity to attack and was suppressed by the Dao Ancestor. Think about it, why could Teacher send the Taiji Painting back? It meant that Teacher still had energy left when he was suppressed! Right, Taiji Painting?”
The Taiji Painting appeared in front of Li Changshou’s chest and he nodded calmly.
However, Yun Xiao said, “However, now, the Primordial World should be completely controlled by the Dao Ancestor. Perfection means that there is no resistance inside.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “That’s right. At this moment, the world no longer has the power to resist the Heavenly Dao. Chan School followed the Heavenly Dao. The two Saints of the Western Sect were puppets of the Heavenly Dao. Daoist Jie Yin neutralized the threat that Second Uncle-Master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, posed to the Heavenly Dao. At this moment, the four Saints are imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao and become the source of the Heavenly Dao’s power. The Primordial World became the spiritual sea of the Heavenly Dao. The five continents became the sand table of the Heavenly Dao and deduced the Great Dao of living beings. Senior Brother Duobao and the others would be imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao later. The Fire Cloud Cave had lost Senior Suiren and could not challenge the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao only needs to rely on the Buddhist teachings to brainwash the human race. It would make people forget the human spirit that the Fire Cloud Cave represented. There is no longer any power in the world that could resist the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao only needs to guard against us. The Primordial World would follow the script that the Dao Ancestor had envisioned and evolved. There’s nothing that can threaten the Dao Ancestor.”
Ling’e and Yun Xiao nodded.
Ling’e sighed and said, “That’s right. There’s nothing that can threaten the Dao Ancestor. There’s no power in the world to resist.”
“This is the most crucial step in my first backup plan!”
Li Changshou’s eyes flickered. He smiled and said, “The Heavenly Dao seems perfect, but it actually has many flaws. The Dao Ancestor is too arrogant. There are too many points that he could attack. The simplest example is that the Heavenly Dao could affect the human heart and trigger mental demons. It can even imprison the human heart, but it cannot understand the human heart. Guess what I did previously? Hahaha! I buried the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy’s spirit core under the Reincarnation Pagoda. The Dao Ancestor did not realize what I was doing. I only used the name of suppressing the Chaos Godfiend to add a Dao to the Primordial World and open a back door. The Dao Ancestor had already comprehended this Dao, which meant that the Creation Jade Disc had an additional Dao. The Dao of the otherworldly demons. I have many trump cards that can pose a threat to the Primordial World. However, that will only cause the living beings of the world to suffer. The gains do not make up for the losses. I will just give Hong Jun a deterrence. However, Hong Jun would judge others by projecting his shortcomings on others. Since he could kill 90% of the living beings and kill his opponents, he felt that I would do the same. However, in my eyes, there is only one problem with the Heavenly Dao. It is sick. I do not deny the Heavenly Dao. I only deny that the Heavenly Dao has selfish desires. I support the Heavenly Dao’s overall control of living beings and oppose the Heavenly Dao’s oppression of living beings. Now, I can counterattack at any time and bury dark lightning. I just need to find an opportunity to trigger all the dark lightning and correct the Heavenly Dao in one go to kill the Dao Ancestor! Ahem, of course, I still have to plan. I can’t be anxious. The chances of winning are only 8.5%. In the end, it is still too unstable. The current situation is like that. I believe the Dao Ancestor has erased the traces of my existence in the world. No matter how bad it is, it can’t be bad. This is my plan! Use retreat to advance and seal the sky to break the situation!”
Yun Xiao was speechless.
Ling’e was speechless.
“Senior Brother,” Ling’e said softly, “Will you arrange for a marriage later?”
“Of course.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. “However, wait for me for a while. You won’t need to wait for decades to centuries. I’ll set up the trap first. In the past, the Heavenly Dao had curled up into a ball. The Heavenly Dao has already been fully developed. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to set up some cores.”
“Then all the best.” Ling’e clenched her fists and waved them. “Sister and I will support you fully!”
Yun Xiao replied gently, “What do you need us to do?”
“Accompany me here and go out regularly,” Li Changshou said. “Act for the possible spies. If necessary, we have to consummate the marriage and pretend to stay here. Don’t alert the enemy. There might only be spies.”
Yun Xiao nodded slightly and naturally did not feel anything amiss.
However, there was a soft sound from the side. Ling’e’s forehead was smoking, and her body swayed. Her eyes were spinning.
Yun Xiao blinked and was puzzled.
“Ling’e, what’s wrong?”
“Cave, cave, bridal chamber… Ah! That’s too embarrassing. Senior Brother is still so calm…”
Li Changshou chuckled and walked behind the Four Mei Goddesses. He sat cross-legged and regained his solemn expression.
The Heavenly Fiend Dao accepted the demonic heart.
Void Bodhi… Void Bodhi…
In a hidden corner of the trichiliocosm in the Primordial World, the old Daoist priest, who was meditating cross-legged, trembled. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. Calls echoed in his heart. His Dao heart was tainted by a black aura and quickly recovered.
Void Bodhi… Void Bodhi…
Who, who are you?
I’m you, you’re me. I’m your heart, your obsession, your Dao, and your Dao Fruit.
You are me, I am me. You are my heart, my obsession, my Dao, and my Dao Fruit.
You are the Void Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi, the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, and an important pawn arranged by the Heavenly Dao.
I’m the Void Bodhi, Patriarch Bodhi, the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, and an important pawn arranged by the Heavenly Dao.
We are all me.
I’m me.
The Void Bodhi opened its eyes. A blue light flashed in its eyes. It shrugged slightly and closed its eyes again to focus.
A wisp of the Heavenly Dao’s will slid past and did not notice anything amiss.
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
The Dao Ancestor’s figure had already disappeared, leaving behind an old Daoist priest’s stone statue. The stone statue was pressing forward with one hand.
At that moment, the stone statue seemed to be smiling faintly. However, that smile seemed to have existed long ago and was extremely natural.
