My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 242 - Heavenly Courts, Jade Emperor’s current situation

Chapter 242 Heavenly Courts, Jade Emperor’s current situation
The white-robed young man supported his chin with one hand on the white jade table. He was a little bored and was holding a few Connate numinous treasures.
There were many things going on in the world, but it was peaceful in the Heavenly Courts.
They were trying their best to manage the place well.
‘The Early Life Records of the Celestial Thearch
He wanted to be a Celestial Emperor who was revered by all spirits. However, there were six mountains surrounding him on four sides, making it impossible for his holy radiance to shine outside the world.
You can’t make bricks without straws. In this situation, it was completely impossible for the clever Emperor to become the Lord of Emptiness…
The members of the Heavenly Courts were so free that they had all kinds of heavenly peaches, divine birds, and Five-Element Pearls.
They could retire at any time…
“Your Majesty! General Dongmu wishes to see you outside the palace!”
After hearing that someone outside the hall had submitted a memorial, the white-robed young man immediately sat up straight, put away the pearl, cleared his throat, and picked up the memorial list by the side. He opened it and saw the words that he had already memorized…
“Declare.”
Outside the hall, General Dongmu lowered his head and walked up the white jade stairs. He looked up at the situation on the platform, his eyes filled with gratification.
The Jade Emperor was really diligent. “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
“Don’t be so polite, General Dongmu.” The young man in white smiled calmly and elegantly. His gaze slowly shifted away from the memorial. “You seem to be in a hurry. Is there anything important?”
General Dongmu took out a memorial and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, what you have previously instructed me to do is to change the water and climate in the southeastern part of the South Continent within a hundred years. I have already done it. The bountiful period takes up 30% of the year and ordinary days make up 60% of the year. There is half a chance of disaster while the other half is left empty.” “Bring it up.”
“Yes.” General Dongmu took two steps forward and passed the memorial to the Jade Emperor.
The young man in white looked at him carefully for a while, and soon nodded. He smiled and said, “I naturally trust you, General Dongmu.”
After saying that, the young man in white placed the memorial list aside and could not help but raise his hand to yawn.
General Dongmu quickly said, “Your Majesty, you should rest more often. You can’t tire yourself out. The Heavenly Courts still need your support.”
The young man in white smiled and diverted the topic. “General Dongmu, have the four seas been safe lately?”
“The matter regarding the dragon race has not ceased,” General Dongmu said in a low voice. “The casualties in the four seas have not been counted yet. The resentment of the living creatures had turned into gray clouds in the Lower Three Realms, disturbing some Heavenly Humans.
If the dragon race continues to be in turmoil, the four seas will never be able to rest. After all, it is a hidden danger.”
The white-robed youth pondered for a moment before sighing softly. “This is also something that I cannot control at the moment. There is a Saint behind the matter regarding the Dragon Palace. I can only follow Changgeng’s instructions and take advantage of the situation.”
“Your Majesty is wise!”
The white-robed young man put down the memorial in his hand and smiled. “General Dongmu, how is the establishment of the legitimate god decree for Changgeng going?”.
General Dongmu hurriedly said, “I just went to take a look three days ago. According to your instructions, Your Majesty, this is the third time I have increased the power of merit. I have also paused the condensations of the other two decrees that I have simultaneously done… This will be done in three years.’
“Three years…”
There was a hint of helplessness in the Jade Emperor’s eyes. He sighed softly. “I still have to wait three years before I can let Changgeng enter the Heavenly Courts to relieve my boredom… Um, to come up with plans and strategies.” General Dongmu blinked. He felt like he had heard something, but he was not sure.
Was His Majesty talking nonsense?
He must be so tired that he has started spouting nonsense…
“Your Majesty, Fellow Daoist Sea God has been looking forward to being able to serve you, every day and night.” “Enough, General Dongmu, how many benefits did you receive from Changgeng? You’re saying such nice things about him every day.” The Jade Emperor chuckled. “I naturally know how important Changgeng is to the Heavenly Courts. By putting in a good word for him, you’re not adding icing to the cake, you’re just being redundant.”
A cold sweat broke out on General Dongmu’s forehead. He quickly lowered his head and bowed. “I know my mistake.”
He suddenly recalled that in the past twenty to thirty years, the Sea God had indeed reminded him not to say anything nice in front of His Majesty… The Sea God could even understand this?
General Dongmu felt helpless. He was also a minister of the Heavenly Courts. He was truly ashamed.
Fortunately, the Jade Emperor only reminded him with a light smile. He let General Dongmu take his leave without saying anything else. “Changgeng…”
The young man in white mumbled and took out a piece of cloth made out of golden silk. He wrote two words on it, followed by a few more.
‘Human, Magi, Dragon, Grand Pure One…’
“I really can’t see through Changgeng. Who is he?”
The young man in white murmured. He waved his hand above the piece of cloth, and the words on it disappeared. Following that, he got up and ended his shift in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He did not need any guards or maids. Instead, he walked on a golden cloud and headed towards an Immortal Island in the Heavenly Courts.
That was the Heavenly Palace Jade Pool, which was different from the Kunlun Mountain Jade Pool.
The former was the Deity Position Official Residence that was protected by the Heavenly Dao, while the latter was similar to a resort.
However, after a short while, the white-robed young man flew out helplessly…
His junior sister had gone into seclusion again and had only left an incarnation outside. He could not chat too much with her incarnation.
Was the Jade Emperor really very bored?
What a joke. He, Hao Tian, was the ‘Truly Amazing Paragon Jade Emperor Of The Palace’. Even if he was bored, he would still be bored at the highest level. How could the word ‘Very’ reflect his current state of mind…
He was extremely bored!
After returning to the Jade Emperor Hall, the white-robed Jade Emperor sealed the door and asked a few Heavenly generals to guard outside. If the Heavenly Courts’ immortals, gods or deities asked to see him, or if anything happened to the Heavenly Courts, they would immediately knock the gold nugget outside the hall.
Thus, the white-robed Jade Emperor returned to his own palace and sat on the soft couch formed from golden jade, quietly waiting for something to happen. A few days later, there was no change nor movement in the Heavenly Courts…
The Jade Emperor sighed, shook his head gently and lay down. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
At the same time, in a corner of the Heavenly Courts, a young Heavenly General opened his eyes and smiled. He thought to himself, ‘If there’s nothing, why don’t I go and look for Changgeng to explore the mortal world? He happens to know about my incarnation.’
Following that, the young Heavenly General stood up, grabbed his silver spear while clad in shiny silver armor. After some thought, he changed into a long robe and rode a cloud out of the mansion, heading towards the South-Heaven Gate.
On the way, some patrolling Heavenly Soldiers saw him and bowed to him, addressing him as ‘General’.
When he arrived at the South-Heaven Gate, the Heavenly Generals who were guarding the place shouted familiarly, “Brother Hua, are you going out?”
“Yes, I’m going out to settle some personal matters.”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation answered and was about to charge out. The expressions of the Heavenly Generals changed and they hurriedly stopped him.
“Brother Hua, Brother Hua! Do you have any travel-permit jade tokens? Don’t make it difficult for us brothers. The higher-ups have been investigating this recently. It’s impossible for a Heavenly General to go out on his own without receiving any orders.”
“That’s right. Brother Hua, you should be understanding of our plight.”
“I don’t know which wicked person it was but he reported this matter to the higher-ups. A few brothers have been demoted because of this!”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation smiled and squinted. He nodded slightly and took out a token.
“I almost forgot. I’ve already obtained permission to leave, from the Hall of Enlightenment.”
The Heavenly Generals quickly apologized and let him out of the South-Heaven Gate.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation nodded in secret. Those Heavenly Generals were considered to have done their duty. He would increase their salary later…
Yes, as for the person who spoke bluntly, he would just find a random excuse to deduct a few hundred years of merit from him.
That incarnation of his had always been for that purpose.
He left the South-Heaven Gate and took the South Ocean Coast route.
The smile on His Majesty’s face became more relaxed and comfortable. His entire aura became much more pleasant. He had disguised himself as an immortal at the peak of the Heaven Immortal realm. He was not considered an expert in the Primordial World, but he would not randomly create a few random fishes and salted fishes to harass him.
Soon, he arrived above Anshui City.
He originally wanted to fly straight to the Sea God Temple. However, when he saw the bustling streets of Anshui City, he concealed his aura and hid his whereabouts. He then landed in a corner of the city. After a while, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation walked out of a small alley. His handsome appearance, tall figure, and his long robe that emitted a faint immortal glow attracted the attention of many mortals…
He smiled and strolled along the streets.
Upon hearing the yelling of the mortals and peddlers around him, he felt the foul air in the place. His ears twitched and he heard a woman scolding her husband at the corner of the street. For a moment, he felt empathetic…
Ahem, the mortal world is quite interesting.
After walking half a street, the Jade Emperor arrived at the most famous construction in Anshui City—the Sea God Temple.
He had shopped at the two rows of stalls in front of the temple, but he did not buy any incense. Instead, he bought a folding fan, waved it in his hand, and entered the Sea God Temple with interest.
However, after taking a few steps, two burly men appeared in front of him.
Magihuman?
This size and aura could be considered majestic. If he is stronger, it would not be a bad idea to take him to the Heavenly Courts and use him as a shield.
The Jade Emperor smiled. “What’s wrong?”
“Greetings, friend!”
The two Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect cupped their fists and bowed. The muscles on their bodies were almost bursting through their short silk shirts.
The Divine Envoy on the left said, “According to the rules in the temple, if you want to enter, you have to buy incense first. If you don’t wish to buy any, you can take the incense on the right as you please. We do not accept money. However, if you come in empty-handed, the Sea God might not like you.”
“Oh?”
The Jade Emperor nodded in secret. However, the occupational habit of his incarnation had acted up again. He continued to ask, “If I barge in without offering incense, what will you do to me?”
The two Divine Envoys looked at each other and exchanged glances. They had already completed their exchange.
“Could it be that the village chief arranged for us to be tested?”
“That should be the case. Arrange it!”
“Yes!”
One of the Divine Envoys suddenly raised his voice and shrieked. The Jade Emperor incarnation was so shocked that he almost attacked. The visitors in the Sea God Temple were shocked too.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation did not understand what was going on. He was surrounded by a group of excited devotees. There were men, women, and young. They were right in front of the Sea God Temple’s gate, blocking the way.
There was also a large group of men, women, and young people gathering inside. All of them looked at the two Divine Envoys with anticipation.
“Is it happening?”
“I’m really looking forward to it. I haven’t heard the Divine Envoys speak loudly for two days!”
Beside him, a few members in charge of keeping incense burning at the temple rushed over with their zithers and drums.
Another person shouted, “Look at this Dharma treasure!”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation was fully focused and prepared to make a move at any moment. Then, he saw that the so-called Dharma treasure was actually a few bamboo pieces. They were thrown up and landed in the hands of the two Divine Envoys in front of him.
As soon as the bamboo planks were hit, the people around them cheered and applauded.
“This old villager, stand still and don’t panic! The Sea God is not just a casual name you can call. The gods are protecting our hometown! The Sea God is under the emperor in heaven. The Celestial Thearch has issued a decree to protect the mortal world, and the Sea God is busy killing demons. The Western Sect killed the Wave-Stirring Flood Dragon in the west and killed the Sea-Trembling reckless people in the south. Apart from three baskets of prawns in the north, the Carp King was annihilated in the east. The Carp King, the True Demon King, shocked the Dragon King…”
Amidst the rhythmic music, a paragraph of “The Sea God’s Persuasion” was recited by the two Divine Envoys.
The two of them spoke clearly and cooperated well…
In the Sea God Sect, that was already considered a very mature performance.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation went from being at a loss at the beginning to being confused later on. Then, he could not help but smile and squint…
Even when the Jade Emperor transformed into an old man with white hair and a benevolent expression, he did not notice that he had arrived at the periphery of the crowd… This time, Li Changshou really ran over.
He was drawing the rough blueprint of the Netherworld in his secret underground chamber when he suddenly felt a sudden impulse and deduced it.
That deduction did not matter, but he immediately realized that there was a “representing guest”. The first place his spiritual will arrived in was the main temple. He happened to see the Jade Emperor’s incarnation being stopped by the two Divine Envoys of his temple. They wanted the Jade Emperor to offer incense to him, the Sea God.
This…
How many lives do you have? Why are you doing this?!
However, to his surprise, the Jade Emperor did not seem angry. He was stunned for a moment before he looked at the Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect with interest as they recited the tongue twisters fluently.
Li Changshou secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, more than ten years ago, he had updated the contents of the ‘Preaching Song’. He had added the words ‘The Sea God is descending to the mortal world on the Celestial Thearch’s orders’.
It had really come in handy today. After the song was finished, the surroundings were already crowded. Li Changshou hid outside the crowd and used that opportunity to transmit his voice to the two Divine Envoys.
The latter perked up and immediately shouted, “That’s all for today! Everyone, disperse!”
“Sir, please come in. We’ll make an exception this time. You can enter even without offering incense!”
“Oh?” The Jade Emperor’s incarnation frowned slightly and said calmly, “Rules are rules. It is difficult to achieve perfection without rules. How can they be broken so easily? I, Hua Ritian, am definitely going to get this incense today.”
Li Changshou, who was hiding amongst the crowd outside, almost fell to the ground when he heard that.
