My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 492 - The Night Before the Immortal Alliance Meeting

Chapter 492 The Night Before the Immortal Alliance Meeting

After successfully implementing the Convincing The Birds With Virtue plan, Li Changshou naturally put away his many backup plans.
It was similar to the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc being scared off by the Demon-Slaying Sword before it charged into the Heavenly Courts.
It was also like the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc being hung on an unknown old tree on the moon and being pointed at by the passing fairies.
Or, the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc smashing its head and bleeding in the Chain Array of the Fourth Heaven…
Since he had already become one of them, he naturally had to destroy a portion of this dark history. He only left behind some crucial content for emergencies.
The news that the Golden-Winged Roc had been successfully recruited by the Heavenly Courts and had become the disciple of the Water God Changgeng had not spread in the world.
Li Changshou asked the immortals and gods to keep it a secret. Those who knew about it in the Heavenly Courts were in the Lingxiao Hall that day.
Now that the calamity was imminent, even the immortals of the Heavenly Courts, who were siding with outsiders, had to consider their situation.
Hence, the discussions regarding this matter in the various outposts of the five continents quickly weakened…
“Didn’t the Golden-Winged Roc of the phoenix race say that he wants to barge into the Heavenly Courts? It’s been so long. Why is there no sound?”
“He’s probably just playing to the gallery and using this method to gain fame. How can the Heavenly Courts be so easy to break through?”
“Something’s not right. Something’s not right.”
The Western Sect also pretended to be mute.
Li Changshou guessed that the other party should have already known about the Golden-Winged Roc. However, they did not dare to mention it recklessly lest they gave the Jade Emperor an excuse to flare up.
Li Changshou placed the Golden-Winged Roc in his Water God Residence to cultivate. He rewarded the Golden-Winged Roc with two numinous treasures and the Heavenly Courts’ Golden Roc Marshal.
What made Li Changshou feel a little ironic was that the luck that Kong Xuan had gained for working hard to take care of the Shang Tribe was not as good as the luck that the Golden-Winged Roc had gained when it was conferred the title of Marshal of the Heavenly Courts…
It was obvious who was the son of the Heavenly Dao.
The Jade Emperor was naturally very happy that the Heavenly Courts had gained a general. He wanted to invite the Golden-Winged Roc to a banquet, but Li Changshou stopped him in time.
He could not praise the Golden-Winged Roc too much, nor could he praise it blindly.
Although the Golden-Winged Roc had comprehended something in the chain array formation, its personality had not completely changed. If it was praised too much, it would easily become arrogant again. It needed to be beaten regularly.
Another month later, Li Changshou officially requested permission in front of the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. The Jade Emperor waved his hand and appointed Li Changshou as the special envoy of the Heavenly Courts. He led a few Heavenly Generals to the Trichiliocosm to organize and monitor the Immortal Alliance Meeting.
Li Changshou accepted the order and left. He then pushed the matter behind and made it spread quickly in the five continents and the Trichiliocosm.
That move was mainly to boost the morale of the Immortal Alliance and lock down the power of the Immortal Alliance in advance so that a certain leader of the Immortal Alliance would not feel that it was sudden.
Three days later.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts led a few Golden Immortal realm Heavenly Generals and a large group of Heavenly Soldiers and swaggered out of the East Heaven Gate.
It was estimated that they would be able to arrive at the venue the day before the Immortal Alliance Meeting began.
At the same time, in the World Edge Mystic Realm.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy left with Lu Yue. He instructed the immortal soldiers that the World Edge Pavilion had secretly recruited to build the venue for the first Immortal Union Meeting
Although Li Changshou had predicted that the Immortal Alliance would be at its peak after its debut and would be the strongest in its first meeting, he still had to do it seriously this time to prevent any mistakes. Three days later.
At the Sea God Temple on the South Ocean.
A white cloud slowly flew over. A man and a woman stood on it. From afar, they looked quite compatible.
The male immortal had a beautiful beard and looked awe-inspiring. His face was handsome, but there was a hint of toughness in it. He was dressed in a light red battle armor and looked even more dignified. He was the eldest disciple of Jie School and the top con man of the Primordial World, Zhao Gongming.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit, who was the fake Jie School Eldest Senior Sister that Li Changshou had specially invited, was beside Zhao Gongming.
She had put on some light makeup today. She looked less heroic than usual and more charming.
Her slender and beautiful figure was wrapped in a light golden embroidered phoenix dress. Her aura was fully released and she looked rather mighty.
Li Changshou had gone out early to welcome them. At that moment, he was naturally using the appearance of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. However, the person standing there was Li Changshou’s main body.
In the beginning, Li Changshou had only wanted to secretly hold the Immortal Union Conference and unite the various factions. He did not need his main body to go. The paper effigies were enough to deal with it.
However, Li Changshou had repeatedly deduced that he could not secretly do that. He decided to take the initiative to pull Randeng into the situation and use him as a tool.
However, when he pulled Randeng into the trap, Li Changshou realized that he had to invite two trusted experts of Jie School to be prepared for any unexpected situations. Since Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit had been invited, it would be unreasonable for his main body to hide and not appear…
Therefore, Li Changshou invited the Floating Flame Flag to protect the Little Qiong Peak. He carried the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Heart-Piercing Lock and carefully left the Little Qiong Peak.
There was no choice. The Primordial World was too dangerous.
Li Changshou felt a strong sense of danger when his Merit Golden Body was blocked twice. “Hahaha!”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and laughed. “Changgeng, you’re really evil. You actually invited Daoist Randeng to be the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Union. Aren’t you just roasting that old coffin on the fire?”
Li Changshou smiled casually and said, “It’s just a small scheme. Senior Brother, Senior Sister, don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s fine.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit revealed a faint smile on her lips. “I originally did not understand your arrangements. However, I can explain it to you openly and understand your thoughts.”
When did Master Zhao become so smart?
He must have gone to the Three-Immortal Island to ask about that.
However, that was not important!
Gongming?! What about the word after?
How did the relationship between the two Jie School disciples progress so quickly? Master Zhao’s heart was opened by the Goddess of Golden Light, but in the end, he had to live with the Goddess of Golden Spirit?
Oh, the wonderful interaction between the mighty figures of the Primordial World.
Li Changshou led the two of them into the main hall. A servant brought hot tea from the side.
Everyone was so familiar that there was no need to make small talk. Zhao Gongming asked when they would leave. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let’s wait here for a while. I just informed Deputy Sect Master Randeng to come and meet up. We’ll go together later.”
Zhao Gongming pursed his lips. “It’s really uncomfortable traveling with Randeng.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said, “No matter what, he is an expert of our Dao Sect on the surface. We have to show him respect in front of outsiders. However, if he doesn’t appreciate my kindness, hmph!” “Senior Sister, we still have to make peace.” Li Changshou said warmly. He looked at Zhao Gongming and smiled.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted and turned to drink her tea.
Zhao Gongming asked, “Where did Mr. Bai go? I went to your mountain previously but did not sense Mr. Bai’s aura, so I returned on my own.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “He said that he went to visit a friend. It’s not appropriate to ask further.”
“I understand.” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. He casually changed the topic. “Changgeng, didn’t you hear that a Golden-Winged Roc was threatening to provoke the Heavenly Courts? Why wasn’t there anything else after that? Could it be that the Golden-Winged Roc is really just playing to the gallery?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Brother, don’t think so. The Golden-Winged Roc has extreme speed and is quite powerful. He did go to the Heavenly Courts that day and arrived in front of the Frost Palace.”
“Oh?”
Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit looked at each other and expressed their concern. However, their focus was clearly different.
Zhao Gongming asked, “What happened next?”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned and said, “Are you really as extraordinary as the rumors say?”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Senior Sister, don’t listen to such rumors! I don’t have much interaction with the Moon Lord. I just have a higher authority in the Heavenly Courts, so I can enter the Glacial Palace.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit thought about it carefully. Those words were reasonable.
Zhao Gongming asked, “What happened to the Golden-Winged Roc?”
Li Changshou pointed at the attendant standing in the corner of the inner hall. “Isn’t he here?”
The attendant turned around and smiled. Although he still had an aquiline nose and a sharp face, he did not give off a sharp vibe.
The sunlight shone in from outside the window, casting a faint glow on him. It made his smile seem like a spring breeze, gentle yet a little shy.
Zhao Gongming was speechless.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was speechless too.
Just as Li Changshou was about to formally introduce himself, a stream of light suddenly flew over from the northwest.
The Golden-Winged Roc frowned and left a few afterimages on the spot. Its figure quickly rushed out of the inner hall and flew into the sky. It held the stream of light in its palm 50 kilometers away. Its figure retreated and coincided with the afterimages that it had left behind.
In less than two seconds, the Golden-Winged Roc stood in front of Li Changshou. It bowed respectfully and handed him a jade token. “Teacher, it has been verified. There are no tricks.”
“Okay.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He used his hands that were wrapped in immortal power to receive the jade talisman. His immortal senses detected the information inside.
Li Changshou sighed softly. “Deputy Sect Master Randeng is indeed extraordinary. He actually said that he is at the crucial moment of Dao enlightenment and wants us to leave first. He will definitely not be late for the Immortal Alliance Meeting. At that time, he will also bring Daoist Ci Hang along, so he asked me to reserve a Deputy Alliance Leader position for Daoist Ci Hang.”
Zhao Gongming looked at the Golden-Winged Roc in surprise and smiled. “Randeng is really cunning.” “Then let’s go.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit stood up. “It’s better to go over earlier to make preparations. I want to see what tricks the Western Sect is up to!”
Li Changshou stood up and said, “Golden Roc, I’ll have to trouble you this time.” The Golden-Winged Roc hurriedly said, “Teacher, just give me your instructions.” After saying that, it quickly walked out of the inner hall and revealed its main body in the backyard. It was a Golden-Winged Roc that had just spread its wings more than 100 feet.
At that moment, three meditation cushions appeared on the golden roc’s back with immortal power. One of them was in front, while the other two were behind.
The meditation cushion at the front was like a lotus platform. It was as exquisite as the treasures of mortal emperors. The two meditation cushions at the back were simpler, like two tree trunks. Li Changshou frowned and said, “Golden Roc, your mental state is unstable.”
The Golden Roc was stunned. Then, he pondered carefully. The bird’s face was filled with shame.
“I’ve disappointed you, Teacher. I’ll restore your throne to…” “There’s no need.” Li Changshou turned around and invited her. He smiled and said, “Senior Sister Jin Ling, please take a seat in front.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit chuckled and did not say anything. As her skirt fluttered, she sat cross-legged on the exquisite throne meditation cushion. Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming landed on the two meditation cushions behind her and smiled at each other.
Li Changshou said, “It’s all thanks to the Golden Roc’s extreme speed that we have the opportunity to stroll around and take a look at the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.” The loud cry of the Golden-Winged Roc pierced through the clouds in the sky. Its wings flapped gently, and it carried a gust of wind as it soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind a faint afterimage.
Sensing the faint pressure from the universe, Zhao Gongming could not help but send a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
“How did you do that? According to the rumors, the Golden-Winged Roc is arrogant and wild. Why… why is it so obedient!?!” Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, “I’m just using virtue to convince people.” “Well?”
Zhao Gongming lowered his head and looked at the Golden-Winged Roc. “Why are our morals so different? I have the reputation of being righteous. Why can’t I meet such a powerful mount?”
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. Zhao Gongming was amazed.
On the way, Li Changshou was worried that the Golden-Winged Roc would be exhausted. He borrowed two wisps of Yin-Yang aura from the Taiji Painting and transformed them into the image of the Taiji Painting to support the Golden-Winged Roc…
The Golden-Winged Roc was almost moved to tears.
Unexpectedly, Li Changshou realized that such a simple action had allowed the Golden-Winged Roc to break through his limits.
It was reasonable that the Taiji Painting could reduce the resistance of the universe.
As for the Golden-Winged Roc, it enjoyed the joy brought by the new extreme speed. It flew more and more energetically, and its gaze became more and more determined.
Let’s talk about serious matters.
“Is this the masterpiece of the Western Sect?” On the horizon of a vast world, Zhao Gongming frowned and looked at a large incense temple thousands of kilometers away.
The temple was built on the peak of a mountain. There were hundreds of cultivators chanting sutras inside, and the surroundings of the temple emitted rays of golden light.
From outside the temple to the foot of the mountain, he could even see the plains and forests of the huge temple. Mortals knelt and worshiped, and most of them looked hungry.
In the sky above the huge temple, the boundless incense merit condensed into a golden cloud and finally disappeared into the depths of the sky.
го о се оһу.
There seemed to be a crack there…
The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted coldly and summoned a long sword to destroy the place. However, she was stopped by Zhao Gongming. “Why are you stopping me!?!” “Jinling, if you attack and destroy this temple, not only will the mortals not thank you, they will blame you and hate you. Why do you have to be so unhappy?” The Goddess of Golden Spirit scolded, “Why should I care about the judgment of mortals? The worship of the wild gods here is like that ferocious beast Taotie. I really can’t stand it!”
However, Li Changshou said, “Just let Senior Sister take action. Don’t do things the easy way.”
“Look.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit raised her head slightly and tapped her feet lightly. Her body turned into a ball of golden light and rushed into the sky.
There were a few booms and a few screams. A hall appeared in the sky. The figures inside were flying. The Goddess of Golden Spirit’s Dharma body did not appear. She killed the other party with one sword.
The Golden-Winged Roc asked, “Teacher, why do mortals worship such a wild god?”
Zhao Gongming replied, “Mortals are weak. They have lived for less than a hundred years. They will always have a sense of reverence and admiration for powers that were beyond comprehensible. It was troublesome to destroy a Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. It was not that the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Western Sect could not be dealt with, but how to settle the mortals. Changgeng, have you thought of such a problem?”
“Of course,” Li Changshou said warmly. “Actually, there are two main ideas. Firstly, he could establish another sect to replace it. In the short term, it would be effective. He could also let the mortals worship another god. Using relatively gentle teachings, he advised mortals to focus on farming and production. They should not think about worshiping the gods all day long and ascend to become immortals. However, doing so would cause trouble in the future. Those in power would be easily taken advantage of by their selfish desires and embark on the old path of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. Secondly, it’s more troublesome.”
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Please explain.”
Li Changshou looked at the hall in the sky, which was filled with killing intent.
“The second idea is to educate mortals and use books to carry knowledge and record the wisdom of humans who have descended to the mortal world. It will broaden the horizons of all living beings and let them understand what the world is and what is real and what is fake. It will reduce their ignorance and guide them to think. In that way, they will not be affected by the calamity of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. Unfortunately, the second idea is too one-sided. I was just making it up.” Zhao Gongming nodded slowly and said, “If everyone cultivates, it will probably be another disaster for the world.”
“Therefore, everything has to be balanced. It’s the same.”
Li Changshou placed his hands in his sleeves and said softly, “I intend to use the incense offerings from the Heavenly Courts to replace these Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms. I want all living beings to respect the imperial sky and the land behind it. They will be divided into good and evil, set justice, and live and die. Cultivation will be classified as an external matter. The Heavenly Soldiers will be stationed in various places.”
Zhao Gongming gave him a thumbs-up. Li Changshou did not say anything.
Zhao Gongming’s brother was not from the human race. It was difficult for him to feel the same way. That was reasonable.
The Golden-Winged Roc suddenly said firmly, “Teacher, I understand!”
Understand…
Understand what?
At that moment, a silver-white sword beam flashed across the sky and cut the hall in half. The ruins fell from the sky and smashed into a desolate wheat field.
Streams of light appeared in the sky. The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted coldly. She did not even look at the streams of light and returned to the back of the Golden-Winged Roc.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit scolded, “There’s not a single disciple of the Saint. It’s useless to kill more, it will just dirty my sword.”
Li Changshou said, “Let’s go and take a look at other places.”
The Golden-Winged Roc raised its voice and let out a high-pitched cry. In the blink of an eye, it flew away from the Major Chiliocosm, leaving the pursuers far behind.
Just like that, they took a detour and visited the eighteen divine kingdoms of incense. The Goddess of Golden Spirit attacked three times, but she could not be bothered to continue after that.
Li Changshou used the Shadow-Retaining Ball to obtain some “evidence” and gave the Golden-Winged Roc a location.
Less than half a month after setting off from the South Ocean, Li Changshou and the others rushed to a certain Minor Chiliocosm. From afar, they could see the blue water that filled the small world.
This small world was mainly made of water, which is one of the five elements. There was only the sky and the ocean.
The venue of the Immortal Alliance Meeting was there. At that moment, it had already been set up. Li Changshou had incorporated the concept of the Dragon Clan’s Grand Ceremony that he had once participated in, into the design of the entire main venue, shaping it like a lotus.
However, he had to admit that it was not as impressive as the dragon race’s casual act back then…
There were limited funds.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy reminded Lu Yue before retreating.
Lu Yue, who had been meditating in boredom and reminiscing about his days in the World Edge Mystic Realm, immediately perked up when he heard that Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit had arrived. He jumped up and took the initiative to welcome them from the sky. A smile of “Junior Brother” appeared on his face.
Li Changshou had already ordered the Golden-Winged Roc to transform into a human form and hide its aura. He was prepared to give the people of Randeng and Western Sect a surprise later.
What should I do?
Li Changshou sized up his surroundings and pondered if he should get a few flying Dharma artifacts to pull two banners and write something like “warmly welcome Senior Randeng as the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance. Senior Randeng and the Western Sect are irreconcilable enemies.”
That scene should be quite interesting.
