My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 259 - Countdown to the Golden Immortal Tribulation!

Chapter 259 Countdown to the Golden Immortal Tribulation!
“Don’t think too much. I was just careless and weak. Let me lean on your shoulder!”
Jiu Jiu raised her hand and patted Li Changshou’s shoulder. “I’ll clean it up for you!”
Li Changshou smiled calmly. Jiu Jiu cringed guiltily. She recalled that she was his Aunt-Master, so she snorted and pretended that nothing had happened. Who knew how he managed to lean onto him!?!
After sending Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu to the land of reincarnation, Li Changshou and Jiu Jiu did not stay in the Netherworld.
Before leaving, Li Changshou took out the “generous gift” that he had prepared before he came and gave it to Ox-head and Horse-Face.
They were a hundred snake-headed spiritual fish and sixty-six well-fed spiritual beasts that were waiting to be slaughtered.
Ox-head and Horse-Face were originally unwilling to accept the gift, but Li Changshou’s gift was like a spiritual cat that entered their hearts and kept scratching them…
They were really tempted.
Apart from cultivators, there were no living beings in the Netherworld. They could rarely go out and walk. It had really been many years since they had a mouthful of hot meat.
The Magi were good at that.
There was a saying that the war between the demons of the Magi did not start because the demons wanted to rule the earth or the Magi wanted to occupy the sky.
Instead… it was because of food…
Many demons who hated the Magi were prey for the Magi.
It could only be said that the Primordial World was too mysterious. The biological chain was not reliable.
After sending Li Changshou and Jiu Jiu off, Ox-Head and Horse-face sneakily returned to the spot where they were on duty- the mountain.
The two of them took out their trump cards and set up a barrier that isolated them from the outside world. Then, they set up a huge fire. They took out two spiritual beast balls, which were Dharma artifacts, and looked at the two lines of words written on them.
“This is suitable to be roasted with ordinary fire. The meat is fresh and delicious. Roast until it is slightly charred on the outside and the meat inside will be the best.”
He opened the spiritual beast ball and two spiritual beasts the size of pigs landed on the ground. They were tied up with ropes and had their limbs tied up…
Ox-head and Horse-Face immediately got busy. Not long after, they cleaned up the spiritual beasts and placed them on the fire to slowly roast them. “What’s this?”
Ox-head looked at the two sachets in the spiritual beast ball and picked them up to take a look. There were even labels on them…
“Secret seasoning, slightly spicy.” “Secret seasoning, cumin spice.” “Are humans so particular? Aren’t they supposed to eat it straight after roasting it?” “Let’s do it. Let’s do it today!”
A moment later, the two experts of the Magi race who were squatting beside the fire made a series of compliments about how fragrant the meat was.
Two hours later, the two of them finally ate…
Ox-head tore off a small piece of meat and tasted it. He closed his eyes and chewed carefully.
He suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground. He punched the ground with all his might, causing the mountain below to flash. Layers of restrictions were activated.
Horse-face frowned. When he saw that, he found it a little suspicious. He tore off a small piece of hind leg meat and placed it in his mouth to chew slowly.
In an instant, the mane on his head stood up, and his entire body seemed to have been electrocuted. Two streams of tears flowed down from the old horse’s eyes…
“Awesome, this is too delicious! Ah, my muscles and bones seem to have relaxed. However, I actually have a shameful thought. I don’t want to share such delicious food with our people.” “Damn it, I hate it! I hate it! I haven’t paid attention to the way humans eat throughout all these years. I’ve missed it for so many years!”
Horse-face tore off the second piece of meat with trembling hands. After chewing it, he exclaimed softly, “The scheming humans. Are they trying to use this method to mock the Lord of Earth? Ah… No, I can’t bite off so much at once. The condiments left behind by this human Heaven Immortal is really impressive!
“Uh, Heaven Immortal? Isn’t he an Essence Immortal? I didn’t take a closer look. Horse, can you eat that?”.
“Of course. He hid his cultivation level… Now is not the time to talk about that! Ox, we need to split the things he left behind.”
“Impossible, unless you can defeat me.” Ox-head shook his head decisively. “You know that I like to take advantage of you the most. I definitely can’t give in this time.”
“Are you going to practice after eating?”
“Savor it slowly, savor it slowly… Oh, this damned smell!”
Not long after, a huge mountain beside the One-Line Sky Border began to shake. The restrictions on it flickered, and two powerful blood auras frightened the thousands of spirits!
The few human cultivators who passed by could not help but frown when they saw that. After paying the toll fee, they did not dare to go forward.
Is this… reliable?
“Go over quickly. Don’t worry. The two of us are stretching our muscles and bones. We won’t hurt you!”
At the same time, tens of thousands of kilometers east of Fengdu City, after bidding farewell to the Ox-head, Li Changshou flew towards the huge gourd at the border of the Netherworld.
There was a faint smile on his lips as he read the Pill Sutra in his hand.
As he was worried about Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu’s safety, he spent most of his attention on guarding her. After all, Little Aunt-Master was the kind of woman who was precious and ought to be protected. Of course, nothing could go wrong.
Jiu Jiu asked, “Changshou, are we going back
now?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s rare for us to come out. Let’s go visit the family that Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu is going to reincarnate into. It’s not too late to return to the mountain.”
“Alright.” Jiu Jiu grinned and agreed happily. However, after flying for a while, Jiu Jiu muttered to herself and asked, “Where does that family live?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It seems that you forgot after looking at it.
“We’ll leave the Netherworld first and go to the South Continent. We’ll look for it when the time comes. I’ve remembered the approximate location. I shouldn’t be wrong.” Jiu Jiu raised her eyebrows and praised, “Tsk, after following Little Changshou out, I really don’t have to worry about anything. I’ll leave everything to you!”
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He continued to read the Pill Sutra and calculated in his heart how many more things he could prepare for the Tribulation Transcendence.
He headed east, out of the Netherworld, and embarked on the journey to the South Continent.
Jiu Jiu rode the huge gourd and flew for two days. She arrived near a large city in the east of the South Continent.
The family that Wan Jiangyu reincarnated into was that of the garrison general of the city.
He scanned with his immortal senses and saw the bustling scene in the city.
Li Changshou suddenly felt some enlightenment in his heart. It was as if there was a voice telling him that he could take the opportunity to take a look around the mortal world and make up for the gaps in his Dao heart that was just a little bit away from perfection.
At that moment, his chances of transcending the tribulation were only 97%. No matter how much he prepared, he could not reach his ideal state, which was 98%. It was just that his Dao heart was still a little incomplete.
Li Changshou said, “Aunt-Master, let’s take a walk in the mortal world.”
“Alright.” Jiu Jiu carried the Evil-Vanquishing Ruyi Sword on her back and landed in a peach blossom forest outside the city with Li Changshou. Both of them restrained their auras and headed towards the city.
At that moment, Jiu Jiu was walking on the ground. Only then did Li Changshou notice that she was still stepping on those comfortable straw sandals.
Li Changshou only pursued ordinary cleanliness when it came to dressing up.
Jiu Jiu did not care about that at all. It was all thanks to the fact that immortals had immortal bodies and were free of impurities.
After entering the city, Jiu Jiu looked around curiously. The mortals also looked at the young girl curiously…
It’s so big…
How did it grow to that extent…
The gourd on her back!
Jiu Jiu had cultivated for more than a thousand years, but she had only entered the mortal world a few times. She had only been in the mountains.
When she arrived in the mortal world today, she was quickly attracted by the liveliness of the mortal world. She looked around, gathered around, and observed some strange mortals. She would also stop in front of the beggars by the roadside and take out two Spirit Bean Pills to give to them.
Then, she was scolded by the beggar. “Don’t put everything in my bowl! Why? Do you want to poison me?!”
Jiu Jiu spat but she did not hold it against the mortals. She took light steps and looked for the most prosperous place.
She would buy a colorful mask and put it on. Then, she would sneak to Li Changshou’s side and suddenly appear with an exclamation.
She would also stop in front of the stalls that peddled sweet candied haws. She could not help but wipe the corners of his mouth with her little hand and ask if she could exchange jade stones for two of them.
Li Changshou watched from the side with a smile. His gaze was peaceful and full of… the emotions an old father would have when he brought his younger daughter out to shop.
Jiu Jiu played on the streets for a while and attracted many gazes, but she did not notice them.
She smelled the fragrance of food from the side and pulled Li Changshou to a nearby restaurant.
However, Jiu Jiu left happily and returned in disappointment. Having been used to eating the spiritual beasts in the sect, she felt that the mortal flavors were indeed boring.
At that moment, Jiu Jiu also noticed that Li Changshou seemed to be in a bad state.
His gaze was hesitant, and his Dao runes seemed to appear…
That was obviously a sign of enlightenment.
Although Jiu Jiu usually liked to fool around, she was quite serious at times like this.
First, she took half a step back without a trace and followed behind Li Changshou. Then, she took out a short blade that was connected to its sheath and held it in her hand. She released a wisp of immortal pressure to deter the surrounding mortals and protect Li Changshou.
At that moment, Li Changshou’s heart was filled with Dao runes…
‘Is my Dao really the Dao that I yearn for?’
He asked himself that question and strolled around the city. He pondered, reminisced, listened, watched, and recalled…
“Cornbread, one copper coin for four!” “I’m selling the vegetables at a cheap price! I’m selling the vegetables at a cheap price! They’re all vegetables!”
“Mother, I want to eat roasted melons!”
Unknowingly, he arrived at a marketplace. Li Changshou walked casually and followed the flow, searching for his opportunity.
He did not think of anything. At that moment, he was not too afraid. The only thing he wanted was to be safe. If he had any insights and found a direction, he would suppress it.
Jiu Jiu quietly followed him for a while and soon discovered a small problem…
Why can’t I understand the Dao runes on this little disciple-nephew’s body?
What the hell?
Jiu Jiu blinked. That was the first time she had felt Li Changshou’s Dao runes. The Dao runes were obscure and hard to understand. Although they came from the same source as the Dao she cultivated, they were not similar.
A tree would bloom with a thousand flowers, and their cores would be different.
However, she could not understand Little Changshou’s Dao runes. That meant that there was a problem! What’s going on? Is Little Changshou broken? Jiu Jiu pursed her lips. For some reason, a competitive thought surfaced in her mind. The more she could not comprehend it, the more focused she became.
Hence… she had also figured it out.
As Li Changshou walked, he roughly understood where his Dao insight was lacking. He broke free from his Dao enlightenment.
“I came from the mortal world to seek immortality.”
He was just an ordinary person. There was no need for him to suppress the thoughts in his heart. There was no need for him to suppress his nature because he felt that that matter was not beneficial to his cultivation.
Yes… the word ‘stable’ had already been written in the core of his personality.
In his previous life, he often heard people say that the place where there were people was the martial world.
What he needed to understand now was that all living beings had their own ‘human nature ‘. The place with human nature was in the mortal world.
The Dao is not mine, but my nature is real.
The last trace of Dao runes has been replenished today.
Li Changshou smiled in his heart, as if he had already seen a huge door in front of him. As long as he took half a step forward and pushed open the door, he would be able to reach a whole new realm of life…
Longevity was within reach.
He had reached the Pre-Tribulation-Transcendence Stage.
Li Changshou calmed himself down and returned from his enlightenment. He was prepared to start his final preparations before the Tribulation Transcendence.
At that moment, a wisp of Dao runes surged behind him.
He turned around to look at Jiu Jiu and realized that the Dao runes were revolving around his Little Aunt-Master. The immortal power in his body surged, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes…
Why is Aunt-Master also about to break through?
Is the Great Dao Enlightenment of the mortal world that useful?
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced. He immediately understood that the Dao runes that he had accidentally revealed when he was comprehending the Dao Heart had affected Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.
Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu was already at the peak of the Perfected Immortal realm. Now that she had taken a step forward, it was very likely that she would step into the Heaven Immortal realm.
He could not be careless about his Aunt-Master’s breakthrough this time.
Li Changshou scanned the various parts of the city with his immortal senses and quickly fixed his gaze onto a general’s residence. He saw the young lady who was walking in the courtyard with a maidservant supporting her.
Two paper effigies jumped out of Li Changshou’s sleeve and disappeared underground. Following that, a layer of clouds appeared around Li Changshou. He wrapped Jiu Jiu, who was in the midst of comprehending, with his immortal power and used Earth Escape to bring her away from that place. Then, he rushed to the East Ocean.
The turbid Qi there was mixed. If she were to break through there, it would easily taint Little Aunt-Master’s clean Immortal Body.
That could be considered an accidental blessing
Li Changshou found an island in the East Ocean and set up two layers of array formations.
He whispered in Little Aunt-Master’s ear, “Aunt-Master, stay in seclusion here. I will guard by the side.”
“Okay,” replied Jiu Jiu. Soon, she closed her eyes and focused. She sat down in the array formation and felt strangely at ease.
Li Changshou was multitasking. While he was using the paper effigy to protect his Little Aunt-Master, his main body was in the secret chamber under the Pill Chamber. He began to inspect the Du Treasure Bag that he had prepared
Treasure pouches flashed in his palm one after another before disappearing again. The Dharma treasures, Dharma artifacts, pills, miniature array formations, and other necessary items for transcending the tribulation were all fully prepared.
Once Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu completed her breakthrough, he could ask the Great Daoist Master to descend to the mortal world and protect him during the Tribulation Transcendence.
That could be considered an “outstanding employee benefit” that he had obtained from working for Ren School. It was slightly more upscale than the team of Guardians during Exalted Wang Qing’s Tribulation Transcendence…
Just a little bit.
