My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 309 - Collecting the Dragon Clan’s Matters, Searching for the Mental Demon at the Mountain G

Chapter 309 Collecting the Dragon Clan’s Matters, Searching for the Mental Demon at the Mountain Gate

It was rare for Li Changshou to act so swiftly. After setting up his plan for the Golden Cicada, he immediately began to execute it. In the spiritual will dream, Li Changshou reminded Ao Yi carefully for an hour.
The little dragon nodded while thinking. It was unknown if it was because he had read the sutra, but when Ao Yi answered his questions, he would think carefully for a while before speaking That made Li Changshou feel more at ease.
“Brother Sect Master, do you have any other instructions for this matter?”
“There’s no need to rush the matter regarding the Golden Cicada,” Li Changshou said.
“We just need to plan slowly and let more living beings know about this matter. This Golden Cicada has been injured by the Great Daoist Master previously. It will probably take thousands of years for it to recover.”
“Yes.” Ao Yi nodded heavily, but he hesitated to speak. His eyes flickered. “Just say it.”
“Brother Sect Master.” Ao Yi sighed with a heavy heart. He bowed to Li Changshou and asked, “Then, what is the secret of the Immortal Peach Banquet? Would the Jade Emperor attack the dragon race directly…”
Li Changshou put his hands behind his back and sighed. “Let me tell you something. Don’t tell anyone. The Heavenly General who injured Golden Cicada a few days ago in the West Ocean was the Jade Emperor. However, he hid his tracks.”
“What?”
Ao Yi could not help but be stunned. Li Changshou continued, “Do you know how high the Jade Emperor’s cultivation level is? The Jade Emperor’s mystical abilities and Dharma powers are probably not inferior to the famous experts of the three sects. He also has the power of the Heavenly Dao. His strength is unfathomable. Don’t forget that the Jade Emperor came from the Purple Cloud Palace and cultivated for a long time in front of the Dao Ancestor.”
Ao Yi nodded after hearing his Brother Sect Master’s words.
Li Changshou continued, “That day, His Majesty discovered that the experts of the West Ocean Dragon Palace who appeared on the surface of the sea had abnormal essence souls. There were about fifty to sixty percent of them who were unusual.”
“What!?”
Ao Yi could not help but turn pale with fright. “How could this happen? I’ll go look for Father now!”
“The Dragon Kings should have tacitly agreed to this matter,” Li Changshou said. “Why are you in a hurry again? Copy the sutra that I gave you three hundred times when we return. Remember to burn the paper and cloth after copying it.” Ao Yi was puzzled, but he nodded and agreed. “Brother Sect Master, how can my father and uncles agree to this?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Firstly, the Dragon Kings are all extraordinary. How could they be so easily schemed against since they could all survive in the ancient times until today?
Secondly, the true foundation of the dragon race is at the eye of the sea and not in the Dragon Palace. Even if the entire West Ocean Dragon Palace is controlled, they can be rebuilt at any time.
Thirdly, the dragon eggs cannot be placed in a single nest. I remember that the dragon race should have such slang. Therefore, it is reasonable for the few Dragon Kings to make such a choice and turn a blind eye to what happened in the West Ocean Dragon Palace.” “Well…”
Ao Yi pursed his lips and slightly suspected his life.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “You’re still young and tender. Let me test you again. What do you think the Jade Emperor will think when he sees this situation?” Ao Yi hurriedly said, “His Majesty will probably be worried that the Four Seas Dragon Palace will be controlled by someone over time?”
A certain Heavenly Emperor who did not want to reveal his name felt very impressed.
“How can it be so simple?”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “The Jade Emperor is very dissatisfied with the dragon race’s idea of wanting everything to go smoothly. The dragon race thinks that as the victims, they can conceal the fact that the West Ocean Dragon Palace had been infiltrated by the Western Sect. After all, the dragon race is the one that had been schemed against. However, how could such a thing be hidden from the Jade Emperor? The Jade Emperor’s intelligence and vision are far above mine.” A certain Heavenly Emperor who did not want to reveal his name praised him.
Ao Yi immediately understood the entire situation. He looked worried as he paced around Li Changshou anxiously.
“Brother Sect Master, what… What should we do? Father and the rest actually…”
“It’s just normal,” Li Changshou said. “Since you’re so worried, I’ll tell you everything honestly today. Ao Yi, the dragon race needs you to step forward now.” Ao Yi held his breath and bent forward slightly to listen carefully.
Li Changshou pondered carefully. Although that was a step that he had thought of previously, he had to be honest with Ao Yi and get rid of the worries that he had buried previously. If he and Ao Yi could not work together, it would definitely be difficult for them to succeed in the twelve years before the Immortal Peach Banquet. “Ao Yi, do you know that I was only a Qi Refinement cultivator in the Heaven Immortal realm during the early stages of the Sea God Sect’s creation? I did not deliberately establish the Sea God Sect.”
Ao Yi did not understand why the Sect Master would bring that up.
However, afterwards, Ao Yi captured the key information- Heaven Immortal realm! When I was sparring with Brother Sect Master in the Immortal Du Sect, was he just teasing me?
Li Changshou’s voice was calm as he recounted what happened back then. “At that time, I only had one identity. I was a disciple of Ren School, Li Changshou of the Immortal Du Sect. It was because of a coincidence that the Magihumans of Xiong Village bumped into me when I was comprehending the Great Dao. They worshiped me as the Sea God and set up a temple to worship me. Then, things got out of hand. I’m afraid you won’t believe me. When we met at the South Ocean, I went to destroy the Sea God Sect. At that time, I was mainly worried that the Sea God Sect would cause trouble for me and offend the Western Sect. However, because the dragon race had appeared and you had seen through the Sea God’s identity, I could only change my train of thought and try to control the Sea God Sect. I never expected that the Sea God Sect would become my opportunity.”
Ao Yi listened attentively and could not help but ask, “How is it an opportunity?” “Due to the fact that the Sea God Sect has obtained the help of the dragon race, the influence it has over the people gradually widened. As a result, the Western Sect schemed against me and attracted the Jade Emperor to observe me. This allowed me to have the first contact with the Jade Emperor. Due to the influence of the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Courts, and the dragon race, I was chosen by the Saint as a human Dharma treasure. Ahem, I was chosen as a representative for this matter. The reason I can be recognized by the Great Daoist Master is actually after the rise of the Sea God Sect… Only by walking step by step did the Sea God of today appear.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “In the beginning, I was worried every day about the Sea God Sect. I was afraid that I would be targeted by the Western Sect and torn apart by the dragon race. It’s really like walking on thin ice.”
When Ao Yi heard that, he looked a little awkward. Then, he pursed his lips and frowned. He bowed to Li Changshou. “I’ve troubled you, Brother!” “This is probably our fate. There’s no need to bow.”
Li Changshou gently supported Ao Yi. Then, he turned around and looked at the figure standing behind him in the spiritual will dream.
“Ao Yi, take a look.”
Ao Yi looked up. Li Changshou waved his sleeve, and the fog around him dissipated. The appearance of the Great Daoist Master was slowly revealed on the large statue. Then, his appearance changed again and returned to Li Changshou’s appearance. Li Changshou smiled and said, “At that time, I could only rely on myself. I could only find a balance between the Western Sect, the dragon race, and the Heavenly Courts. You have asked me many times before why the human race can be strong. It’s probably because… We are braver and more courageous.”
“Brother!”
Ao Yi was filled with guilt. He sighed and said, “I didn’t know about all these. I placed all the blame on you, Brother. I even…” “Ao Yi, I’m telling you all of this today for no other reason than to let you know that the matter regarding the dragon race’s entry to Heaven is not my plan, nor is it the Jade Emperor’s plan. That’s the way it is. It’s just fade and destiny.” “Destiny…”
Ao Yi lowered his head and pondered. The young man’s face was more troubled than usual.
Li Changshou was about to continue when Ao Yi suddenly took two steps back. He lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down.
“What are you doing?”
Li Changshou supported him while Ao Yi bowed deeply to him.
“I was ignorant and fearless previously. I did not know that Brother Sect Master was in a difficult situation. Please forgive me! Now, the dragon race is already on the cliff. One wrong step and we will be crushed. Sect Master, please save my dragon race and make my dragon race serve the Heavenly Courts! Today, I swear that I will entrust my life to you, Sect Master!”
Li Changshou did not expect Ao Yi to figure out the key point so quickly. He did not expect Ao Yi to have such a huge reaction. However, at that point, Li Changshou took the opportunity to move forward and asked, “Even if you will get misunderstood and scolded by your clansmen?” “What’s there to fear about?” “Get up,” Li Changshou said. “I’ll tell you the plan for the Immortal Peach Banquet in detail. Ao Yi, you have to remember. The purpose of us doing all of this is to make the four Sea Dragon Kings take the initiative to ask for orders and be loyal to the Heavenly Courts before the Jade Emperor gives his decree during the Immortal Peach Banquet. That way, the dragon race will have more luck!”
Ao Yi jumped up, his eyes filled with determination.
Li Changshou had already started to explain the next steps of the operation…
“There are only twelve years. There are not many things that we can do. Therefore, we cannot waste a single day.”
The spiritual communication lasted for more than thirty hours this time, giving Li Changshou a headache.
He had already done all the hard work that he could. He could be considered to have done enough to deserve the treasures of the dragon race which he did not waste.
There were definitely effects. However, he could not control what he could do in the end. It was mainly the Dragon Kings’ own choice.
The Jade Emperor said that he had already selected the Heavenly Courts’ naval troops.
Now, he just had to wait for this batch of naval troops to arrive and officially begin the great plan to reel in the dragons.
In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou kept the two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills that he had just obtained.
Ling’e’s one shall be placed with her.
Li Changshou scanned Ling’e’s straw hut beside the lake with his immortal senses. He sensed the Dao runes left behind by the Great Daoist Master and knew that the Great Daoist Master had given Ling’e benefits… Can this girl really ascend to greater heights this time? Yes, I will reward her by letting her copy more sutras later to prevent her strength from suddenly increasing and her Dao heart from becoming unstable. Since she has entered the Dao with the Steadiness Sutra, it is not wrong to write more…
“I shall go and find some spiritual trees.” Li Changshou muttered to himself, closed his eyes, and focused. He activated the paper effigy outside the mountain gate, which was waiting for orders, and began the “Recovery of Greenery of Little Qiong Peak”. The Primordial World was rich in spiritual energy. The East Continent was vast and sparsely populated. It was not difficult to find some aged spiritual trees that had yet to become spirits.
The difficult part was that the spiritual tree sap needed for the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had to be filled with the aura of living beings. There were also other requirements…
Li Changshou searched carefully for half a day, but he only found more than ten old trees. He carefully moved them out of their original habitat and secretly transported them back to Little Qiong Peak. In order to make them more comfortable, Li Changshou’s main body appeared and performed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the old trees. It was just that there was a lack of audience. It was more or less deserted.
As soon as he settled the old spiritual trees, Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured the abnormality in the chess room. Xiong Lingli, Jiang Lin’er, and Jiu Jiu woke up together. The three of them looked at each other in confusion.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Lin’er and Jiu Jiu stood up at the same time. Li Changshou’s attention was instantly attracted by Aunt-Master Jiu… Yes, this is a force that will attract everyone. I didn’t do it voluntarily. Jiang Lin’er hurriedly said, “Take care of Yushi. I’ll go back to seclusion first!” “What’s going on? How can you suddenly gain enlightenment while playing cards?!” Jiu Jiu shouted anxiously and rushed to the second floor. Subconsciously, she had no intention of returning to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to cultivate.
“Lingli, tell Yushi that I’ll be in seclusion for about three to five months! Let her cultivate in peace. Don’t force her to break through. Wait for me to come out of seclusion and check her cultivation results!”
“Oh, okay!” Xiong Lingli nodded and was stunned. Li Changshou could not help but laugh when he saw that. He arranged for a paper effigy to go over. He deliberately made the paper effigy transform into an old woman and sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli, asking her to go into seclusion for a period of time. The old woman was in charge of taking care of Jiu Yushi…
Is the Great Daoist Master giving out benefits in his backyard? Why is my master still the same? Why is he meditating in the straw hut and not showing any signs of breaking through? Could it be that the Great Daoist Master had misunderstood and treated the women on the mountain as him…
Forget it.
Li Changshou was just about to retract his immortal senses that were probing Qi Yuan when he sensed something strange.
There was something wrong with his master’s condition.
Li Changshou could not help but perk up. His immortal senses enveloped his old master as he carefully checked. Then, he put on a serious expression and rushed to the straw hut by the
lake.
Master must have been possessed. It was very likely that his master had developed a demonic-resistance because of Jiu Yushi’s matter and had triggered his mental demons! Turbid Immortals were prone to such things. Li Changshou had been prepared for this. He had read many ancient books and found many ways to help people remove their mental demons. Li Changshou arrived in front of the straw hut, but he did not disturb his master. Instead, he merged with the array formation barrier and quietly appeared behind his master. He raised his hand and pointed at Qi Yuan’s neck.
“Master, I’ll help you.”
Li Changshou raised sword fingers with both hands and took a step forward. His fingers quickly pointed around Qi Yuan and injected wisps of immortal light into him. After a while, Qi Yuan coughed and spat out a mouthful of black gas. Li Changshou waved his sleeve and enveloped the black aura with immortal power. It formed a ball and was about to be purified when he exclaimed softly.
Master… does not have a mental demon?
The black aura condensed into a black shadow and let out a soundless roar, as if it was provoking Li Changshou.
Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon?
The so-called Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon was not a living being but an existence that was attached to the Great Dao. It was similar to resentment, obsession, and negative karma.
No one could explain the origin of that thing. However, it was clear that it was related to the mental demons of the Qi Refinement cultivators.
If a Qi Refinement cultivator’s Dao heart had a demonic-resistance which was not removed in time, it would easily grow into a mental demon, and the mental demon would easily attract such a Dao-Defying Heavenly Demon, causing the Qi Refinement cultivators to be trapped both inside and outside.
Some immortals would die if they closed their eyes. Half of it was because of that difficulty.
Cultivation was dangerous.
The reason that his master had fallen for it was probably because he did not have a good foundation in the Turbid Immortal Dao and his Dao heart was easier to break through. That was why he had attracted that… Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon from someone else… Should I report this matter to the Sect Leader?
Find out who attracted the Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that if this matter was exposed, it would be a huge blow to his master’s pride.
Master is very prideful…
“Forget it. I’ll just spend some effort.” Li Changshou walked forward first and whispered to his master, who was still in a meditative state, “Master, please cultivate in peace. Everything is fine.” Then, Li Changshou left the straw hut with the black aura and pinched his fingers to deduce. It was not difficult for Li Changshou to deduce such a small matter.
Soon, he found the path that the Dao Barrier Heavenly Demon had taken to the Little Qiong Peak. His immortal senses followed the path and finally locked onto the mountainside of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
“Isn’t that…”
Li Changshou did not hesitate and quickly disappeared from the Little Qiong Peak.
Now, his main body could use the Earth Escape technique to silently break the barrier set up by the Heaven Immortal realm cultivators. He could also ignore most medium-sized and small-scale array formations.
As he walked through the mountains on the ground, Li Changshou found the source of the Heaven-Defying Demon.
It was a Cave Abode that Li Changshou had never been to before. There was a bed, a few wardrobes, and a flat stone wall. There were a few paintings by Li Changshou…
On the meditation cushion in the middle of the Cave Abode, the female immortal, who was dressed in a training attire, closed her eyes tightly. Her slender body trembled from time to time.
Her long hair was let down, and her beautiful face was covered in sweat. She bit her lips gently, as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
She was Youqin Xuanya. Li Changshou shook his head slightly. Three paper effigies flew out of his sleeve, each holding… wooden fish, clapper, and Soul-Suppressing Bell…
