My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 277 - A Big Fish Accidentally Exploded

Chapter 277 A Big Fish Accidentally Exploded
Under the gaze of more than thirty cultivators from the Immortal Du Sect, Jiu Yushi knelt in front of Exalted Wang Qing. He kowtowed thrice in front of the immortal and was no longer mortal.
Then, Exalted Wang Qing raised his right hand. Wisps of immortal light were brewing in his palm. He gently patted Jiu Yushi’s head three times to awaken her wisdom and increase her comprehension.
Exalted Wang Qing maintained his solemn expression and said, “From today onwards, you will be my tenth disciple. I hope that you can cultivate in peace and become an immortal as soon as possible. The path to immortality is peaceful and you can live forever. From now on, you have to follow the rules of the Immortal Du Sect. You have to know the background of the Immortal Sect of Ren School. Do not do anything that will bring shame to the sect.”
Jiu Yushi, who had already practiced it several times, kowtowed again and said in a clear voice, “I will follow your instructions, Master!” “Okay.”
Exalted Wang Qing waved his hand gently, and Jiu Yiyi immediately walked forward. Jiu Yiyi carried a set of clothes and two short swords, which were all immortal treasures, and three storage pouches. The Immortal Du Sect’s entry-level cultivation technique was on the robe. There was also a jade token that recorded the rules of the Immortal Du Sect. When Jiu Yushi received the entry gift, the nine senior brothers and sisters stepped forward to greet her. Each of them had a gift prepared.
Li Changshou sighed when he saw that.
When one had many senior brothers and sisters, they could earn a fortune even by receiving a small gift from each of them!
Sensing Ling’e’s faint gaze, Li Changshou pursed his lips and turned to observe his master’s expression.
His master was now… very touched.
He was purely touched. His master stood in another corner and followed behind Jiang Lin’er. While no one was paying attention, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. Then, he smiled and looked at the lively scene.
Li Changshou pondered for a while, but he could not decide for his master on that matter.
Just as he had advised his master, he could only let nature take its course when it came to his master and Aunt-Master’s reincarnation…
At that moment, there were not many regrets for his master.
Earth Immortal…
Li Changshou pondered for a while. Suddenly, he missed the taste of ‘Di Sanxian’, a dish made of stir-fried potatoes, eggplant, and peppers. He sent a voice transmission and told Lingle to cook it for him.
After everything there was over, the Ten Jiu Immortals still had to go to the Little Qiong Peak to celebrate. The main chefs today were Ling’e and Xiong Lingli.
Jiu Yushi’s apprenticeship ceremony was completed. The Sect Leader led the elders forward to congratulate Exalted Wang Qing. Li Changshou was still busy with the battle between the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race. After giving Ling’e some instructions, he quietly left the Wang Qing Residence… However, just as he flew out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak on a cloud, Jiu Wu caught up from behind. “Changshou! Wait!” Li Changshou stopped and turned around to bow. He smiled and said, “Uncle-Master, you were in such a hurry to come here, have you… run out of pills?” “I still have enough pills, I still have enough pills!”
Jiu Wu smiled in embarrassment. He jumped onto Li Changshou’s cloud and whispered, “I have something to discuss with you. Do you still remember? You and I… Ahem, your master and I captured that vixen in the mortal world which caused us a lot of trouble. We used the Enchantment Spell on her.” “Of course I remember,” Li Changshou said. “Hasn’t she been suppressed by the earth meridians?”
Jiu Wu continued, “Do you still remember that she has some power of merit?”
Li Changshou nodded obediently. This time, he did not interrupt Jiu Wu and gestured for him to finish speaking Jiu Wu pondered for a while and said, “In the past few months, there has been a group of demons searching for the vixen in the East Continent and the Middle Continent. According to the news brought back by a few executives, the appearance and location of disappearance of the fox demon that this faction is searching for, and that of the one we captured… match perfectly.” Li Changshou frowned slightly and asked, “Is the faction that you’re talking about very strong, Uncle-Master?” “It’s not a matter of whether they’re strong or not.” Jiu Wu smiled bitterly. “This faction has a complicated background and is quite famous in the Middle Continent. Behind that faction are maids who served the Saint in the palace. There are also experts from the demon race who had kindly taken in the human race when the human race was almost wiped out. Also… um… Among the ancestors of the human race, there is an Emperor who enjoys three thousand concubines. Behind this race are the beloved concubines of two human sages… The fox demon that we captured previously seems to be related to that old sage. Moreover, this faction has never participated in the conflict between the demons and humans. They have always been cultivating in seclusion. Most immortal sects will give them some face.”
The sages… Three thousand concubines…
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan?
Li Changshou felt a headache coming on when he heard Jiu Wu’s words.
Speaking of which, why is the composition of Senior Xuanyuan’s harem so complicated!?!
Could it be that collecting beauties from all kinds of races would have an additional effect on cultivation?
Unknown territory, unknown territory.
Li Changshou asked, “Why didn’t anyone look for her all these years?”
Jiu Wu said, “It seems that the entire race thought that she was cultivating somewhere. It seems that they only realized that she had gone missing recently and deduced that she had been captured by the Qi Refinement cultivators. Fortunately, I didn’t kill her back then. Otherwise, this matter would be really interesting.”
Li Changshou asked, “Did we not know about this faction previously?” Jiu Wu sighed softly and explained, “The Immortal Du Sect is far away from the Middle Continent. We did not consider that previously. The elders in the sect already know about this matter and are in a dilemma now.”
He continued, “If we let the fox demon go, it will be a disgrace to the Ren School. It will make others feel that the Immortal Du Sect is afraid of the demons. However, if we do not release it, based on the other party’s attitude, it seems that the demon fox’s status in their race is not low. It is very likely that it would cause another calamity. Changshou, you’ve always had many ideas. Do you have any good solutions for this?”
Li Changshou nodded slowly. He already had a plan in mind. He smiled and said, “Uncle-Master, I have a plan that should be able to let this matter go smoothly. Uncle-Master, you can offer it to the elders in the sect and let them decide whether to do so or not.”
“Oh! Tell me quickly!”
“Uncle-Master, please listen…”
He went on to explain.
Li Changshou muttered beside Jiu Wu’s ear for a while. Jiu Wu’s big eyes under his thick eyebrows gradually lit up. “Alright, I’ll go and report this to the elders!”
“Uncle-Master, don’t be anxious. As long as we are right in this matter, there’s nothing to worry about.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Their family background is complicated. The Immortal Du Sect is also a faction of Ren School.”
Jiu Wu nodded repeatedly and rushed towards the Punishment Hall.
Li Changshou rode a cloud and flew at a neither high nor low altitude. He returned to the Little Qiong Peak and projected the plan that he had just come up with. There should not be any major problems. After all, they did not do anything to the fox demon. They only locked her up there…
Back then, in order to study the Flame Of Heart Immortal Sense Poison Pill, Li Changshou had made the fox demon put in some effort and used a few enchantment techniques. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that there should not be any problems. Moreover, the Immortal Du Sect today was no longer the Immortal Du Sect that Daoist Wen Jing could bully with just some puppets. Putting everything else aside, just the paper effigy that Li Changshou had recently researched on, the ‘Spirit Explosion’ paper effigy, could actually be used in actual combat.
He could inject his Golden Immortal realm Dharmic powers into the latest semi-finished paper effigy and reach a level that was not full. He then used an ordinary paper effigy to bring the ‘Spirit Explosion’ paper effigy to hide in the place where the enemy’s troops were gathered. He would use the ordinary paper effigy to continue injecting immortal power into the ‘Spirit Explosion’ paper effigy and use it to attack the boundary of the Golden Immortal realm, causing an explosion that was not inferior to the self-destruction of a half-step Golden Immortal cultivator…
That was the art of cultivation.
Li Changshou did not really want to use that move. After all, those paper effigies were produced by the spiritual trees on Little Qiong Peak.
Most of the preparations he made were just in case.
“Fox demons, the demons with complicated backgrounds…” Li Changshou suddenly thought of a name. Daji? To be precise, she should be a nine-tailed fox. Daji was just a mortal woman who was possessed by a demon fox. Daji should have nothing to do with the suppressed fox demon. However, this force might be Daji’s origin. After all, to be chosen by the Saint, the Nine-Tailed Fox should not be as simple as an ordinary demon.
Forget it. There’s no use thinking about that. The matter of the god-conferment has nothing to do with me.
I should think about the battle tomorrow night and check if there are any loopholes. I should see if there are any flaws that others will take advantage and make use of.
He returned to the Pill Chamber and lay down on the rocking chair. Two days and one night passed quickly.
When Li Changshou’s paper effigy flew out of the South-Heaven Gate with the mighty Heavenly Soldiers, Li Changshou was also distracted. He used his immortal senses to look at the situation beside Little Qiong Peak’s spiritual lake. The Nine Jiu Immortals, Ling’e, Youqin, Lingli, Liu Yan’er and Wang Qi had gathered there to drink and celebrate.
Jiu Yushi, who had just become a disciple, was very shy. However, under Jiu Jiu’s instigation, she held her sword with a flushed face and danced with her sword while Lingle played the musical instruments.
At the edge of the liveliness, Qi Yuan had already returned to his usual appearance. He sat cross-legged in the straw hut by the lake and meditated quietly. Dao runes surrounded him, and there was a slight smile on his lips. Li Changshou could not help but smile. He lay on the rocking chair and calmed his mind. He was fully focused on dealing with the battle in the Heavenly Courts. Hence, half a day later…
If the Jade Emperor were to be asked about his current state of mind, he would probably say that he was… very regretful. The Jade Emperor thought that he would lead the troops to battle.
He thought that he would hold the Heavenly Sword in his hand and be clad in golden armor. He imagined that he would ride a white pegasus and face the countless demons that were surrounded by demonic aura. He would wield the Heavenly Sword and shout loudly, “For the Heavenly Courts!” He would then lead a group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to charge into the battle, bathe in blood, and promote the righteousness of the world!
However, during the actual battle…
“Reporting to the Marshal, the various troops have already entered the ambush area!”
“Reporting, More than 3500 deep-sea demons have been deployed. After investigation, 90% of them have been infected with negative karma!”
“Reporting – The enemy has already entered the ambush. The various dragon tribes are ready! Waiting for the Marshal’s orders!”
In the sky, where layers of white clouds gathered, thousands of Heavenly Soldiers surrounded a few chairs. The Demon-Buster Marshal of the Heavenly Courts, Hua Ritian, remained seated with military governor General Dongmu, and general dispatcher Li Changshou, together with an elder with real authority in the dragon race. Soldiers kept rushing over and shouting the information they received. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Marshal, there’s no time to lose. Please give the order.”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation looked at Li Changshou with some confusion in his eyes, as if he was saying, “Is that what the Marshals do?”
Li Changshou smiled and blinked, giving the Jade Emperor an affirmative signal.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation pursed his lips and coughed. “All troops, attack and annihilate the demons.” He sounded a little weak. “Yes!” the messenger answered. He turned around and jumped 100 feet away. He took out a Dharma treasure flag and waved it quickly. The military order turned into streams of light and landed in various parts of the South Ocean.
After a while, the spiritual energy in the South Ocean fluctuated and layers of waves rose on the surface of the sea!
The roars of the demonic beasts, the roars of the azure dragons, and the yelling of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals rushed into the sky!
General Dongmu, Li Changshou, and the dragon elder were all calm and waiting. The Jade Emperor, who was the main general, could not help but stand up. He held his sword and said firmly, “Master, how can you cower in fear here when you are fighting alongside the generals!?!” “Marshal,” Li Changshou advised. “The general is different from the marshal. As the Marshal of the three armies, we have to observe the entire situation. If we charge and break through the enemy’s formatipn, the army will be leaderless. I’m afraid we will be in danger.”
General Dongmu added, “That’s right. Marshal Ritian, don’t be anxious! Charging and breaking through the enemy lines is a matter for the generals. Marshal, you still have to look at the bigger picture!”
Hua Ritian nodded when he heard that. He returned to his seat and continued to wait quietly. In other words, if he did not confer a title to his incarnation, he would be leading a troop in the seawater and fighting the demons in the sea as he had expected.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation looked at Li Changshou and said, “Sea God, Sea God… Beloved subject Changgeng!” Li Changshou turned around and asked, “Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation said, “You will take charge of the situation. I will go down and fight with the soldiers. From deploying troops to setting up ambushes, it was all done by you and General Dongmu. Could my role be to just give orders?” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the Three Realms…” “Beloved subject, do you know how boring my life has been every day since I became the Jade Emperor!?! You can say that I have been waiting for this battle!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Seeing that the Jade Emperor was about to start complaining, Li Changshou pondered for a while and sent a voice transmission.
“Your Majesty, when the war in the South Ocean has calmed down and we go to the West Ocean to wipe out the demons, I will stop General Dongmu. You can personally lead the army to kill the demons. However, Your Majesty, you still need to take care of yourself. When we turn to fight in the West Ocean, the Western Sect will probably react and perhaps cause trouble.”
“Sure!”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation was instantly energized. He sat on the chair and waited for the report.
Not long after, huge corpses covered in wounds appeared on the surface of the sea below.
A huge array that was supported by tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers enveloped the sea within a radius of 1,500 kilometers. It prevented the turmoil in the place from affecting too many living beings in the sea.
Four hours later, the battle in the South Ocean ended.
The Heavenly Courts’ troops and the dragon race’s troops merged together and charged towards the place where the great demons were gathered. According to the rules that Li Changshou and General Dongmu had discussed before the battle, if the demons had negative karma, they would destroy their demon souls and not leave any future troubles.
The demons with no negative karma were kept in the Demon-Sealing Pagoda of the Heavenly Courts. When their lifespan was exhausted, they would reincarnate.
In the middle of the night of the battle, dawn arrived.
The Heavenly Courts and the dragon race’s troops gathered at the edge of the South Ocean. They headed to the West Ocean in a mighty manner and rushed to the next battlefield without stopping. When the demons of the South Ocean were attacked, the deep-sea demons of the West Ocean were prepared to retreat overnight. They left the five continents from the ends of the West Ocean. However, they were stopped by the dragon race halfway. Most of them were stuck at the edge of the West Ocean.
This time, Li Changshou had also stopped General Dongmu according to the agreement between him and the Jade Emperor’s incarnation. He had also suggested that the Demon-Buster Marshal of the Heavenly Courts, Hua Ritian, lead a troop and attack the demons in the West Ocean…
Looking at Hua Ritian’s back, General Dongmu frowned and said, “Why is this young man so impatient? Ah, I really have to report to His Majesty when I return! Sea God, why don’t we submit a joint memorial together?” “There’s no need for that. General Dongmu, you can do it yourself.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Since General Hua has already led the troops there, General Dongmu, you will be in charge of the overall situation.”
General Dongmu shook his head slightly. He looked at Hua Ritian’s back and felt frustrated as he expected better from him.
At that moment, a white cloud flew over from the depths of the West Ocean and blocked the Heavenly Courts’ troops.
Li Changshou used his immortal senses to investigate. Due to the fact that he was rather far away, he could only vaguely see what it was…
It was a brown-robed old Daoist priest with a huge gourd on his back. He stood alone on the cloud path in front of the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race army. His entire body emitted an intense pressure. The old Daoist priest spoke coldly. He removed the huge gourd that was white and purple from his back and held it in his palm. He stared at the Heavenly General of the Heavenly Courts, Hua Ritian, who was charging at the front.
“What does the Heavenly Courts mean? Do they have to exterminate the orphans of the Demon Court!?!”
