My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 278 - The King of Poems

Chapter 278 The King of Poems

The Heavenly Courts really did not have much fame.
Tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and the elite Immortal Flood Dragon troops of the dragon race were at the frontline. At that moment, their auras were strong. Someone actually dared to stop them halfway.
The point was… they really stopped them.
The old Daoist priest, who had appeared halfway, had an intense and strong aura. His Dao realm was far beyond that of a Golden Immortal.
Li Changshou’s current cultivation level was barely visible. He had also come into close contact with the Great Daoist Master, Master Zhao, the gentle Fairy Yun Xiao, and other top experts below the Saint.
The moment the brown-robed old Daoist priest appeared, he unleashed his full power. It was naturally shocking that he took the initiative to expose his cultivation level. However, Li Changshou felt that that person’s Dao realm should not be comparable to the strongest disciples of the Dao Sect…
However, in that place, the old Daoist priest could completely intimidate the Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Courts. What the Heavenly Courts lacked the most was high-end combat power.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy was limited in strength, and his detection range was limited. Just as those thoughts flashed through his mind, General Dongmu stood up.
General Dongmu sighed. “Look, look!
How can the marshal act rashly? Wouldn’t he be in a passive position if he encountered trouble?
Sea God, please bring your army over from behind. Let me take a look at the front.”
“General Dongmu, I’ll go.” Li Changshou stood up with a solemn expression. “This Daoist is extraordinary. It’s not appropriate to get into a conflict with him.”
General Dongmu did not dare to be careless when he heard that. He immediately agreed.
Li Changshou flung his horsetail whisk and turned into a wisp of green smoke. However, he escaped into the sea breeze and traveled thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Who is this old Daoist priest?
He shouted, “These demons are the abandoned children of the Demon Court.” He held a huge gourd that was purple and white in his hand. His appearance was ordinary and plain. He was an old Daoist template that was commonly seen in the Primordial World…
Li Changshou did not know how many great mystical abilities there were in the Primordial World. To be safe, Li Changshou could not determine that person’s identity with just a gourd.
That old Daoist priest might have come from the demon race or had a strong relationship with the demon race…
However… Is there something wrong with using the Demon Heavenly Courts of the past to seek approval from the current Three Realms Heavenly Courts?
At that moment, Li Changshou could only make a rough guess. He was worried that the Jade Emperor’s incarnation would be injured, so he used the Wind Escape with all his might.
He was the one who had devised the plan to kill demons.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation wanted to experience the romance of men. He had just stopped General Dongmu and instigated the Jade Emperor’s incarnation to go.
If the Jade Emperor was beaten up, or even his incarnation was killed, the Heavenly Courts would lose face and become a laughing stock of the Primordial World. Perhaps the Saint would suspect the ability of his disciple!
However… even though Li Changshou was confident in his escape technique and had rushed to the frontline immediately, he was still half a step late.
There was no choice. Marshal Ritian’s first words made the old Daoist priest flare up.
“How dare you!”
Hua Ritian frowned and pointed his sword forward. “The remnants of the Demon Court actually dare to stop the Heavenly Courts’ army!”
When the Jade Emperor’s incarnation said that, Li Changshou’s figure appeared on the left side of the Jade Emperor’s incarnation.
Upon hearing that, Li Changshou almost knelt down to the Jade Emperor.
He was extremely reckless…
No, this is not being reckless. Being reckless is being muddle-headed.
The Jade Emperor is being really strong-headed!
Li Changshou finally reacted. The Jade Emperor did not take the old Daoist priest seriously at all.
The Jade Emperor had the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor behind him. He was also the ruler of the Three Realms in name. The six Saints were his senior brothers and sisters!
What was he afraid of?
It was one thing for the old Daoist priest to obstruct the matters of the Heavenly Courts today, but he had to use the Ancient Demon Court to suppress the current Heavenly Courts. He had already stepped on the Jade Emperor’s pride and even crushed him.
There was an 80% chance that the Jade Emperor wanted to kill the old Daoist priest and strengthen the power of the Heavenly Courts!
Moreover, from the looks of it, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation seemed to have his own confidence…
Li Changshou quickly analyzed that in his heart. He found a position for himself and reminded himself to stick to those principles.
Marshal Ritian shouted again, “Where are the soldiers?”
The Heavenly Generals behind him shouted in unison, “Listen to the Marshal’s orders!”
His voice shook the nine heavens and his aura surged! The brown-robed old Daoist priest in front of him widened his eyes. The word ‘remnants of the Demon Court’ had already infuriated him. He shouted,
“You, a Heavenly General, think that others can’t touch you just because you have merit protecting you!?! Do you want me to have a match with you?”
After saying that, the old Daoist priest’s beard and hair fluttered. He maintained a shocking pressure from head to toe, and the immortal power behind him condensed into a large thundercloud!
Hua Ritian was not afraid at all. He raised the long sword in his hand high up. A ray of golden light descended from the Nine Heavens and shone on his body!
In the golden light, Hua Ritian maintained the posture of raising his sword. His entire body was covered with a layer of golden divine power. Golden light surged in his eyes as he stared at the old Daoist priest in front of him.
In an instant, he had resisted most of the pressure that the old Daoist priest was exuding, causing the morale of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to rise!
The old Daoist priest widened his eyes…
He had used his Dharma powers to threaten him, but he had been ignored by the Heavenly Courts’ general in front of him. The Heavenly General even thought that he was too slow and wanted to attack him.
Is there any justice?
Does the logic of martial arts being the greatest still stand in the Primordial World?
The old Daoist priest roared, “Alright! I’ll kill you today, you arrogant Heavenly General!”
He patted the purple gourd with his right hand. A ray of light shot out from the mouth of the gourd. The ray of light rose 30 feet into the air and instantly condensed into a ball of smoke. A pair of cold eyes appeared on it and stared at the Jade Emperor’s incarnation!
The old Daoist priest’s beard and hair danced in the wind. His aura suddenly became extremely sharp, and a murderous aura weighed down on the place!
“Freeze!”
The old Daoist priest shouted softly. Two rays of white light shot out from the eyes above the gourd and were pointed at Hua Ritian’s forehead!
Before the white light landed on Hua Ritian, the old Daoist priest had already chanted an incantation.
“Treasure, please turn around!”
“Hold on!”
Suddenly, he heard a loud shout. A figure stood in front of Hua Ritian. His white hair fluttered, and his horsetail whisk swayed. He opened his arms and looked emotional.
He was just short of saying, “If you want to kill me, kill me!”
The old Daoist priest paused. However, he did not stop just because he wanted to. If he used that treasure, he would injure himself.
He had already said the word ‘body’!
Two rays of white light struck Li Changshou’s body. A sharp ray of light shot out of thin air. Li Changshou’s heart trembled slightly as he saw a sea of blood surging towards him.
At that moment, Li Changshou’s spiritual perception jumped. He almost subconsciously severed the connection between his main body and the paper effigy. The strange phenomenon in his heart disappeared instantly, and the sharp feeling disappeared!
Is this the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber?!
Li Changshou felt the helplessness he experienced just now. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead… What a terrifying treasure!
His paper effigy could not resist at all!
He had almost injured his main body!
However, it did not seem like there was really a flying dagger that was used to behead a person. Instead, it was used to target the essence soul and kill it…
Li Changshou did not have time to think. He immediately activated… the paper effigy in the sleeve of the Sea God paper effigy. His mind quickly returned to the West Ocean.
Just as Li Changshou returned to his senses, he heard Marshal Ritian’s angry voice.
“How dare you kill the righteous god of the Heavenly Courts!”
The paper effigy quickly emerged from his sleeve and saw golden arcs of light sweeping across the ocean surface and being smashed at the old Daoist priest.
At that moment… the paper effigy that had been slashed by the flying saber…
Its head was gone!
Its body quickly released wisps of immortal power.
The Jade Emperor, who had transformed into Hua Ritian, was dressed in golden armor and holding a golden sword in his hand. The shadows of nine golden dragons circled around him as he chased after the old Daoist.
The old Daoist priest was originally disdainful of dodging and wanted to resist Hua Ritian’s attack. However, when the golden light slashed over, it contained a wisp of the power of the Heavenly Dao. It caused the old Daoist priest’s Great Dao to tremble, and he hurriedly retreated in shock.
At that moment, Hua Ritian’s aura had the upper hand. The Heavenly Generals on the left and right immediately gave the order for groups of Heavenly Soldiers to surround and set up array formations.
When the experts of the dragon race saw that the Sea God had been killed and beheaded, and that the Heavenly Courts’ marshal was so ferocious, all of them rubbed their palms and wanted to pounce onto the old Daoist priest to kill him.
However, a few experts of the dragon race sent a voice transmission to calm them down.
At that moment, Li Changshou could tell that the Jade Emperor’s incarnation was at the late-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. It was equivalent to a sixth-grade or seventh-grade Golden Immortal general who could fight well.
At that moment, the old Daoist priest could only dodge left and right in a sorry state because of the golden light.
In just a few moves, the old Daoist priest appeared thousands of feet away in a flash. He held the treasure gourd in his left hand and opened his cold and ruthless eyes in the clouds 30 feet above the gourd!
“Freeze!”
The old Daoist priest shouted and Hua Ritian stopped in mid-air.
The old Daoist priest was about to activate the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber again, but Li Changshou’s yelling had already arrived!
“Hold on!”
A stream of water surged and Li Changshou’s figure quickly appeared in front of the Jade Emperor’s incarnation. He held his horsetail whisk and looked at the old Daoist.
The old Daoist priest and the Jade Emperor’s incarnation were stunned. At the same time, they looked at the headless corpse from before and realized that there was no one there.
The Jade Emperor turned into Marshal Ritian and said happily, “Sea God, you are fine!”
“Hmph, so it was an incarnation!”
The old Daoist priest squinted and sneered.
At that moment, golden light shone around Hua Ritian’s body. He had already broken free from the Fixed Body technique.
Li Changshou was really afraid that the Jade Emperor’s incarnation would charge forward and be killed by Lu Ya. Li Changshou’s paper effigy was the power of his essence soul. He used the mystical ability of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts to complement the incarnation technique that Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had imparted to him. He had continuously improved it by fusing talismans and restrictions. When his incarnation was killed just now, Li Changshou had cut off his connection with his incarnation in time. He had lost the power of his essence soul and had a headache.
However, Li Changshou could not figure out the principles behind the Jade Emperor’s incarnation. It might be related to the Jade Emperor’s essence soul and could easily cause the Jade Emperor to be severely injured.
Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission.
“Your Majesty, let me deal with this old Daoist priest. The gourd in his hand has a powerful background. I’ll just send him off with a few words.”
“It’s fine!”
Hua Ritian spoke directly. He walked to Li Changshou and said calmly, “Let him kill!”
After saying that, Hua Ritian placed his left hand behind his back and held a long sword in his right hand.
The palm of his left hand, which was behind his back, became a little transparent. He took the initiative to reveal the main structure of the incarnation.
‘It was merit…
It was an incarnation formed from Heavenly Dao merit. It was formed from the power of merit… the Golden Body of Merit!
Li Changshou was instantly envious and jealous.
He had risked his life to obtain merit from incense offerings and gone to the Heavenly Courts to be the Jade Emperor’s subordinate. He had even schemed against this and that so that he could earn some merit and condense a Golden Body of Merit. He wanted to give himself a safety vest that would entangle those who killed him with negative karma.
However, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation that was used to experience life was a Golden Body of Merit that was purely formed from merit!
Today, he even wanted to use that Golden Body of Merit to deal with this old Daoist priest.
The moment the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber slashed down, the Heavenly Punishment would arrive!
“Your Majesty,” Li Changshou said via voice transmission. “The death of the General will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the Heavenly Courts. We are here today to show our might to the Heavenly Courts and His Majesty. We are not here to anger this old Daoist.”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation nodded slightly when he heard that. He sent a voice transmission, “When I saw that you were killed, I wanted to destroy this old Daoist priest today. However, I failed to consider it properly. Beloved subject, what brilliant plan do you have?”
“Your Majesty, let me try.”
“Sure!”
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation nodded gently. Li Changshou carried his horsetail whisk and moved forward again to face the old Daoist.
The old Daoist priest sneered and said calmly, “Why? Have you discussed it? Since I’ve severed your incarnation, you should know how powerful my treasure is! Quickly retreat and give the demons a way out!”
“Fellow Daoist, who are you?” Li Changshou asked with a frown.
“I…”
“Fellow Daoist, firstly, you did not reveal your origin and next, you did not talk about karma. You simply stopped the marshal of the Heavenly Courts. You even want the Heavenly Courts to retreat on your account. Fellow Daoist, you didn’t say anything. How would we know how much you were worth and how much respect should we give you?”
Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk and chuckled.
The old Daoist priest frowned slightly and had a plan.
The old Daoist priest snapped softly, “Listen up! I have always been a guest. I don’t ask about the affairs of the world. Through cultivation, I had understood the Dao of Heaven and Earth. In the blink of an eye, the tribulation was over. I did not go to Xuan Du to worship the Grand Pure One or the Jade Void Sect. Now that I have gained enlightenment of the Li Fire Technique, someone will be beheaded the moment my treasure appears. How about it? Is this enough!?!”
Li Changshou pondered carefully. The old Daoist priest was meticulous and did not expose anything.
However, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber…
That was Daoist Lu Ya’s name card!
From the moment Lu Ya stood up for the demons and mentioned the orphans of the Demon Court, Li Changshou had roughly understood his background.
Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. “I’m afraid it’s not enough.” “Oh?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, listen to me and see if I have the cheek to make you leave today. Fellow Daoist, listen up! I’m a disciple of the Ren School. Once the old master gave me the order, I entered heaven. There are no mediocre members in the sect. I have old friends in all three sects. After obtaining the Deity Position in the Lingxiao Hall, the Heavenly Dao allowed my descent in the sea. Once, I kowtowed three times in Tushita Palace and obtained the Dao of Alchemy from the Grand Pure One!”
After saying that, Li Changshou snorted coldly. “Fellow Daoist, do you think I’m glorious enough?”
“Hahaha!”
Daoist Lu Ya laughed loudly and stuffed the Immortal Execution Gourd into his mouth. Then, he said calmly, “Since you are a disciple of the Three Sects’ Saint, you actually went to the Lingxiao Hall to serve the Jade Emperor. What a joke.”
“His Majesty, the Jade Emperor, rules the Three Realms according to the Heavenly Dao. It’s my honor to be able to come up with a plan for His Majesty!”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “Those with different Daos lead different paths. Fellow Daoist, if you think I command enough power, please leave.
The deep-sea demons have repeatedly done evil. Most of the spirits in the race have been tainted with negative karma. It is the Dao of Heaven to exterminate them!”
“From the looks of it,” Daoist Lu Ya said coldly, “I’m afraid I’ll have to do it again today! Listen carefully! I was originally…”
“Fellow Daoist, why don’t you listen to me recite a few words?”
Li Changshou smiled and interrupted Daoist Lu Ya’s poem.
What are these?
Good poems from the Primordial World?
It could be seen that Daoist Lu Ya was a little afraid of the Heavenly Courts. Otherwise, he would not have been so long-winded. If he was really confident, he would have just killed Marshal Ritian and left.
In that case…
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you are a Yang Flame Spirit. You obtained the Dao in the Ancient Golden Hall.
Is that so?”
Daoist Lu Ya’s face trembled slightly. His eyes emitted a threatening glow as he stared at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou continued, “You were being carefree in the clouds and caused the Divine Bow to shake the Demonic Heaven.
Am I wrong?” The light in the old Daoist priest’s eyes disappeared. He said firmly, “Fellow Daoist, since you know my background, you have been making a fool out of me previously!”
Li Changshou said calmly, “I have some ties with your ancestors. I did not want to embarrass you. Fellow Daoist, just retreat today. If you can’t protect the deep-sea demons, don’t let my main body come. Your Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber is probably useless against the incarnation formed by my mystical ability.”
The friendship between the ancestors is limited. I know them, but they don’t know me.
“How do you know the name of my treasure?”
Daoist Lu Ya was also shocked. He had just refined the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber not long ago. The three or four Daoists who had faced that treasure had long disappeared.
Li Changshou smiled without saying a word. Daoist Lu Ya’s eyes were filled with shock.
“Hmph!”
Daoist Lu Ya snorted. “Senior, I’ll give you face today! If the Heavenly Courts are targeting the demons, I will definitely go to the Lingxiao Hall to seek an explanation!”
After saying those ruthless words, he turned around and turned into a beam of light. With a whoosh, he disappeared and left extremely quickly.
Li Changshou shook his head slightly and smiled. He muttered, “At least you know your place.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the Jade Emperor’s incarnation.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation took two steps forward and asked, “Is he the Tenth Prince who escaped the demons back then?”
“He should be.” Li Changshou smiled and sent a voice transmission. “I don’t know either. I was just bluffing him just now. It seems like that’s the case now.”
“That Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber is extraordinary.” The Jade Emperor’s incarnation smiled. “However, your intelligence is even more impressive.”
Li Changshou reminded, “Your Majesty, it’s time to lead the troops to kill the enemies. Lu Ya has delayed us for a while. Who knows how many demons from the West Ocean have escaped?”
“Sure!”
The Jade Emperor laughed and regained his composure. He turned around and looked at the tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers behind him and the army that was flying over from afar.
The long golden sword in his hand was raised high. Thousands of Heavenly Soldiers cheered in unison, their voices shaking the earth.
For the Heavenly Courts!
