My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 504 - Dao Sect, A Non-Battle Agreement!

Chapter 504 Dao Sect, A Non-Battle Agreement!
Why?
Ksitigarbha wanted to ask, Why?
Why did my Reincarnation Pagoda become the place where the Dao Sect held the Three Sects’ Meet? It did not even greet me!
It was so casual, natural, and unhesitant!
Ksitigarbha had been waiting. When the immortals of the Dao Sect and Chan School arrived, he would stand up and shout at them.
Get out of my Reincarnation Pagoda!
Of course, those were his thoughts. It would be ungentlemanly to shout them out.
At that time, he would say that “those who are not part of the Heavenly Dao Echelon cannot enter the Reincarnation Pagoda”. That would be reasonable and convincing. He would also be able to hit the immortals of the Dao Sect at a moderate speed.
Just thinking about it made him happy.
Therefore, Ksitigarbha had been enduring and waiting. When the immortals of the Dao Sect stood in the Reincarnation Pagoda, Chan School summoned hundreds of disciples with all their might. Jie School advised them not to send too many immortals and gathered thousands of immortals in the end…
Li Changshou did not appear for a long time. He said that he had gone to the sea of blood to find the whereabouts of the red lotus.
Without the most crucial “lubricant”, the atmosphere between the two parties gradually became stiff…
Finally.
Has everyone quietened down? No new immortals have arrived?
lduO
Very good, now! Ksitigarbha narrowed his eyes. He tapped Truth Listener’s forehead gently and temporarily sealed Truth Listener’s mouth.
“Everyone!”
Ksitigarbha slowly stood up and revealed a confident smile. His eyes shone brightly.
“You…”
His throat trembled.
Ksitigarbha was shocked. He suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure coming from the crowd in front of him, causing his Dao heart to almost freeze!
T-this is such a powerful pressure…
Look at Chan School!
The twelve Golden Immortals were at ease.
The seats were filled with good fortune. The Dao Cheng Jade Cleansing Technique was profound.
Look at Jie School!
The few disciples were famous.
The three thousand Daoists listened to the Great Dao and had a chance of survival.
At that moment, due to the two shouts from Ksitigarbha, the immortals of the Dao Sect looked over. In the Mustard Seed Cosmos that had been temporarily established, their gazes gathered into a torrent, causing the mental state of Ksitigarbha, who had the power of the Heavenly Dao to almost collapse!
The situation seemed to be explaining the hard truth of “having more people means you can do whatever you want”.
The word ‘Dao Sect’ seemed to have appeared on the top of the Reincarnation Pagoda. Ksitigarbha recalled the long sighs of his two teachers when he first became a disciple. The Dao Sect was too powerful. Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “Pagoda Master, what can I do for you?”
Ksitigarbha forced a smile and said in a loud voice that was neither servile nor overbearing, “This is the second round. It is a place protected by the Heavenly Dao. Everyone, please do not make noise. Remember that the venue is clean!”
Yes, the dignity of a Pagoda Master!
“Thank you for the reminder.” Daoist Duobao smiled and answered. The immortals looked away in boredom. Ksitigarbha nodded and silently sat back beside Truth Listener. He undid Truth Listener’s seal and subconsciously felt his back drenched.
Truth Listener buried its head in its claws and swung its long tail. It almost laughed out loud.
Chi Jingzi asked warmly, “Has Junior Brother Changgeng not returned yet?”
Bai Ze, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up in time.
At that moment, Bai Ze had already changed into a black Daoist robe. His goatee was also trimmed more neatly. He bowed to both sides and smiled.
“The Water God is about to return. He has already figured out a way to find the red lotus. He should have good news for everyone when he returns.”
At that moment, Li Changshou’s main body was hiding nearby because of the Taiji Painting
Bai Ze’s words were a form of preparation in advance to lure him out.
Indeed, as soon as Bai Ze finished speaking, the immortals of Jie School immediately became excited.
Most of the immortals of Chan School were very calm. A small number of them looked worried.
At that moment, a sigh resounded on the top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda. Li Changshou’s white-haired and white-robed figure appeared at the staircase and entered the Mustard Seed Cosmos. “Junior Brother Changgeng!”
“Changgeng is here!”
“Changgeng, have you found the red lotus?”
Li Changshou raised his hands and said loudly, “Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, Junior Sisters, don’t be anxious. Listen to me! I only found traces of the red lotus, but it’s possible that someone deliberately set up a trap there. Before I can figure it out, I’ll return to meet up with everyone. According to my expectations, the red lotus has yet to appear. We will guard the edge of the sea of blood now. We will not let anyone snatch the Red Lotus!”
As he spoke, Li Changshou had already walked to the area between the immortals of the two sects. He bowed to Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao and addressed them as Senior Brother.
The two senior brothers stood up and returned the greeting, giving Li Changshou enough face.
At that moment, many immortals looked behind Li Changshou…
Of course, she was not looking at his body.
When immortals from the two sects continuously rushed over, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals sent a large number of chairs and meditation cushions. The immortals from the two sects sat on both sides and were clearly separated.
At that moment, there was a row of stone chairs on Li Changshou’s left and right sides. Previously, they were already full. Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Junior Brother Changgeng, are you here to sit? It’s a little stuffy here. I’m going out to take a breather.”
“Brother-in-law, come here!” Qiong Xiao immediately retaliated and gave up the seat behind her. “I’ll just stand.” Li Changshou immediately smiled… awkwardly and politely. He naturally had to follow his previous strategy -stay in the middle, but not sit.
Guang Chengzi suddenly said and pointed at the seat between him and Duobao.
“Changgeng, although you joined the sect a little later, you are fully in charge of Ren School today. You also have the personal order of the Great Master. Today, we might have some conflicting opinions between the two sects. We need a mediator. Why don’t we sit here?”
Guang Chengzi smiled at Daoist Duobao and asked, “Junior Brother, what do you think?” “Great, great!”
Daoist Duobao patted his belly and naturally had a calm demeanor.
Li Changshou frowned and thought about his next plan. He had to immediately reject such a seemingly good suggestion.
The more he was praised, the more miserable he would be when he fell.
He was not strong enough and his cultivation level was barely above average. He had to thank half of the immortals of Jie School for pulling down the average.
If he really sat on the same level as the two Eldest Senior Brothers of the great sects, there were only two words—virtue does not match.
It was not stable.
“Thank you for your favoritism, Senior Brothers.” Li Changshou bowed again and said warmly, “I’m inexperienced. I’m afraid I’m not qualified to be a mediator. Although Teacher has ordered me to take charge of the teaching matters, our Ren School only has six mountains and a few courtyards. I still need you two to make the decision for such a huge scene. I’ll move a meditation cushion and sit here to give suggestions. What do you think, Senior Brothers?”
Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “Just come and sit. Who doesn’t know that you can scheme?”
“That’s right.” Daoist Duobao urged, “You’re in the middle. Who won’t be convinced?”
“Senior Brothers, you can’t do that!”
Li Changshou was about to reason, set up traps, and talk about emotions when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
“Let me see who is bullying Changgeng.”
The immortals looked in the direction of the voice and saw a Yin-Yang Twin Fish painting appear behind Li Changshou. A figure slowly walked out.
It was an eight-feet-tall male body. His long hair was casually scattered, and his eyebrows were not sharp. His slightly ordinary face was rather good-looking.
He was dressed in an azure robe and black boots with white patterns. Just a chuckle and a tease made him feel at ease.
When the immortals of Chan School saw that person, Guang Chengzi immediately bowed with a Dao salute. The immortals lowered their heads and bowed.
When the immortals of Jie School saw that person, they were a little noisy. However, Daoist Duobao coughed and the surroundings fell silent. The three thousand immortals lowered their heads and bowed in unison.
The immortals shouted and said, “Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Although it was a little messy, the lingering sounds were filled with respect.
The Great Daoist Master Xuandu!
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and straightened his back. “Senior Brother!”
The Great Daoist Master blinked and nodded with a smile.
Beside him, the Golden-Winged Roc carried a stone chair and quickly placed it in the middle of Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao’s seats.
The Great Daoist Master waved his hand and looked around. He smiled and sighed. “A single lotus flower caused the Dao Sect to fall into chaos. Why are you so anxious? Where is the demeanor of the Great Sect? Where is the righteous Dao heart?”
Many immortals from the Chan School and Jie School looked ashamed. They did not dare to look at the Great Daoist Master.
The Great Daoist Master walked forward and sat on the stone chair in the middle. He gestured for Duobao, Guang Chengzi, and the immortals of the two sects to take their seats.
Li Changshou retreated to the corner and looked at Bai Ze and the green ox.
Bai Ze gave Li Changshou a puzzled look. Li Changshou returned Bai Ze’s determined gaze. Bai Ze pondered for a while and gradually smiled. “Has everything been arranged?”
“Don’t worry, everything has been arranged.”
He heard…
Guang Chengzi asked, “Senior Brother Xuan Du, has the battle in Xuandu City been stable recently?”
“I’m fine for now.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said leisurely, “This time, Changgeng called me too. He said that the Chan School and Jie School are about to fight because of a red lotus. I can only rush back and see if I can help mediate.
According to what I know, the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters of Jie School want this red lotus to suppress the sect’s fate. The Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters of Chan School feel that this red lotus is a gathering of the negative karma in the world and will cause a calamity.
Is that so?”
Daoist Duobao said seriously, “That’s true.”
“That’s right,” said Guang Chengzi. “The twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus is related to Patriarch Netherworld. Don’t let this ferocious person take advantage of you.”
Daoist Duobao was about to retort when Great Daoist Master Xuan Du raised his hand to stop him.
The Great Daoist Master asked, “Uncle-Masters, do you have an order?”
Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi stopped talking at the same time and remained silent on their stone chairs.
“Ah.” The Great Daoist Master sighed and said, “You did not say how to deal with them. Instead, you gathered your junior brothers and sisters here… Why are you so anxious? Do you know that this is not a scheme?”
Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “Eldest Senior Brother is right. However, the Great Tribulation is coming. There is no treasure in Jie School that can suppress the destiny. That’s why I’m a little anxious… Please help me, Eldest Senior Brother!”
Guang Chengzi frowned and said, “The red lotus is formed from negative karma. How can we use this treasure to suppress the teachings?”
Daoist Duobao did not give in. “The twelfth-grade red lotus is like the twelfth-grade golden lotus. How can it not suppress the teachings?”
“That’s right!”
An immortal from Jie School stood up and said loudly, “The twelfth-grade red lotus has suppressed the destiny of the Asura Clan in the ancient times! “Our Jie School does not have many goals. We just want to be less injured in the Great Tribulation. That’s all. We are not targeting Chan School!”
On Chan School’s side, an immortal immediately stood up and replied, “Putting everything else aside, just the fact that there are so many disciples of the Saints from Jie School alone, I’m afraid this red lotus cannot be suppressed, right?”
A female immortal with a fiery temper berated, “Why are your words so unpleasant? My Jie School is united. My fellow disciples are like brothers. What we lack is a treasure to suppress the light from providence!” “The red lotus is harming the harmony of the heavens and is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. How can I let it successfully appear in the world? How can I use it to suppress the destiny of the sect? This… this is against the rules!”
“How can treasures be good or bad? How can mystical abilities distinguish between good and evil?”
“Yes!”
Chan School is eager to stop us today. Could it be that they want to see us become a joke? Or do they want more immortals of Jie School to die during the Great Tribulation and help Chan School fill in the Tribulation Luck?
“We are all disciples of the Dao Sect. Why are we arguing?”
“Pui! I’ve long disliked you. Today!”
Buzz…
A black and white halo erupted from the Great Daoist Master’s body and washed everywhere like waves. It forcefully suppressed the conflict between the two sects that was about to erupt, causing the top layer of the Reincarnation Pagoda to fall silent again.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Where is Changgeng hiding? It’s your turn.”
“Senior Brother, I’m here!”
Li Changshou agreed from the corner and walked out.
The Great Daoist Master’s smile gradually disappeared. He said coldly, “Have you remembered the person who quarreled just now and kept getting angry?”
Li Changshou said loudly, “I’ve remembered everything!”
“Investigate in detail later. Are there any spies planted by the Western Sect?”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said calmly. His expression was dignified, causing most of the immortals’ Dao hearts to tremble.
Then, the Great Daoist Master leaned back in his chair and said in a relaxed voice, “The three Dao Sects are one. Chan School, Jie School, and Ren School were just different in their teachings. The two Uncle-Masters had indeed had a few disputes about taking in disciples back then, but they had never opposed each other. Why are all the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters so hostile today? Ask yourselves, are you worthy of the Dao word above your heads?”
The immortals were silent.
When the Great Daoist Master saw that he had already suppressed the entire scene, he kicked out the dominance.
“Changgeng, tell me about the red lotus in your eyes.”
“Senior Brother, please listen to me!”
Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed in all directions. He took two steps forward with his horsetail whisk and said loudly, “Today, I won’t mention what happened to the Western Sect. Just because of the appearance of the Western Sect, everyone should have understood! Today, I will not mention how the two sects should get along peacefully. Before the Great Tribulation, the number of tribulations has yet to be determined. No one knows what will happen after the six Saints of the Purple Cloud Palace gather. However, if they fought because of the red lotus, it would be too ridiculous. If they really fought just now, whose heart did they fall in love with? Whose family, friends, Dao companions, and fellow disciples would be destroyed? At this moment, they are in the midst of the great tribulation. How can they determine if they had been affected by the calamity? He had used his passion and shouted that he would donate his body to the sect. In the end, he had only turned into ashes. He had damaged the luck of his own sect and destroyed the destiny of the Dao Sect! Could it be that everyone wants this red lotus to become an opportunity for the Dao Sect to decline?”
The immortals were silent.
Perfected Taiyi sighed and said, “Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, there will be a battle sooner or later.”
Li Changshou said firmly, “We still have to prioritize. We also have to know why we’re fighting!”
Zhao Gongming, who had been silent, could not help but ask, “What did Changgeng say?” “Brother, don’t be anxious. I’ll speak frankly today. I won’t hide or hide anything. I’ll make things clear.” Li Changshou’s eyes flickered. The image of the Taiji Painting appeared behind him and he took two steps forward.
Although his voice was calm, it contained an extraordinary pressure.
“Let me first say two things that the Three Sects of the Dao Sect have to follow.
Firstly, before the Saints of the Purple Cloud Palace discuss how to deal with the Great Tribulation, we cannot have internal strife and conflicts!
If the three teachers do their best to fight for our survival, what should we do?
The second point!
Even if the Saint cannot resolve the Great Tribulation after the Purple Cloud Palace, the three sects of the Dao Sect have to weaken the power of living beings. We have to guarantee that we could simultaneously weaken the strength of the sects outside the Dao Sect.
How are the three teachers willing to see us fight internally? Are you all willing to see the Western Sect benefit from the conflict?
When the Great Tribulation erupts, the three sects will not need to work together. We will let the most immortals from Jie School attack the Western Sect alone. Chan School and Ren School will wait by the side and let the enemies from Jie School be sent to fill the calamity. Wouldn’t our Dao Sect lose a few lives?
That was the logic. If any fellow disciple was dissatisfied and felt that it was inappropriate, Ren School would be willing to mediate and guarantee it.
However, today!
If anyone comes forward later and says, ‘What wrong has the Western Sect done? What does the Western Sect have to do with this matter?’, I will ask the three Eldest Senior Brothers to cripple their Dao foundations and expel them from the Dao Sect!”
Li Changshou’s last few words were powerful and extraordinary. The immortals of the Dao Sect nodded in unison. A few of them could not help but break out in cold sweat.
In the corner, Ksitigarbha snorted.
“The Water God is really powerful. In order to ease the conflict in the Dao Sect, he made the Western Sect a target.”
Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, if you say another word, I’ll ask Eldest Senior Brother to use the Soul Transfer technique on you and let you tell me the details of the Western Sect’s schemes against the Dao Sect all these years. Our two families have always been competing for the luck of the world. We stand opposite each other. Now that the Great Tribulation has descended, we should speak openly. Otherwise, there will be people in our Dao Sect who do not know the evil of the Western Sect. They will be merciful and take advantage of the Western Sect.”
Ksitigarbha snorted but remained silent.
Li Changshou shook his head and continued, “I’ll say that there are three strange things about the red lotus. Firstly, the timing of the item’s appearance was rather subtle. The Red Lotus Seed appears in the sea of blood when the Great Tribulation descends. The news reached the ears of the two sects at the same time.”
Li Changshou turned around and looked at the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School. He stared at Guang Chengzi and cupped his hands.
“Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, someone in Chan School must have persuaded us. If Jie School obtains the red lotus, how can Chan School resist Jie School during the Great Tribulation? Senior Brother, you don’t have to say who it is. If you have heard such words, just nod.”
“That’s right.” Guang Chengzi agreed and closed his eyes to rest.
Li Changshou looked at Daoist Duobao and cupped his hands. “Senior Brother Duobao, did someone in Jie School say that the red lotus is a ferocious treasure? How can it be used to suppress the Dao runes but be refuted by others? Similarly, Senior Brother, you don’t have to say who reprimanded you. If you have heard such words in the past few days, just nod.”
Daoist Duobao nodded slowly and closed his eyes to rest.
At that moment, the immortals of Chan School and Jie School discussed via voice transmission. They were more or less puzzled and began to reflect on whether they had been used.
In the corner, Bai Ze’s eyes were filled with admiration. He really wanted to praise.
The Water God argued.
Secretly changing the concept was a commonly used method of sophistry, but there were not many who could use it as skillfully as Li Changshou.
Li Changshou easily made 90% of the immortals present feel that the reason the two sects had conflicts and disagreements today was purely because of someone’s instigation…
That would temporarily conceal the fundamental conflict between the two sects.
He also reminded the immortals of the two sects that there were definitely spies from the Western Sect in the two sects.
Duobao and Guang Chengzi naturally understood that. They cooperated and remained silent because they felt that Li Changshou’s actions were in line with the interests of the two sects.
Li Changshou continued to guide the thousands of immortals present… “Secondly, a few years ago, the Western Sect began to search the sea of blood and sent thousands of living beings. I can’t help but ask, have they already found the red lotus? Could it be that they have not obtained anything? The Western Sect claimed to be poor. The Western Sect also had an especially diligent Saint. He woke up early and worked late at night, running around to collect various treasures. Everyone, do you think that Saint will let go of such a red lotus?”
The immortals shook their heads.
Li Changshou continued, “The abilities of the Saints are unpredictable. They can naturally find the location of the red lotus. There are only two possibilities. Firstly, the Saints of the Western Sect could not take away the red lotus. There were arrangements there that even the Saints were afraid of. Secondly, the Saints of the Western Sect had taken it away or deliberately left the red lotus behind to plot against it. Under such circumstances, how can we be careless?”
The immortals nodded.
Even an intelligent fairy like Qiong Xiao felt that Li Changshou was right.
“Thirdly, if this red lotus is controlled by Patriarch Nether River and is used to revive him, why didn’t Patriarch Nether River remind the Asura Clan to make preparations? So much so that the current Asura Clan was like a headless fly that was anxiously wandering in the sea of blood? Come to think of it, there are traps and schemes everywhere.”
“Changgeng is right.” Daoist Duobao sighed and said, “This time, we did not consider it.”
Guang Chengzi opened his eyes and said slowly, “I was almost schemed against by others. Fortunately, Changgeng was already vigilant and reminded me in time.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
These few senior brothers were all pretending to be confused!
On the side of Chan School, Perfected Yu Ding asked in a low voice, “Changgeng, how should we resolve the situation today?”
“Senior Brother Yu Ding, don’t be anxious. I already have a plan.”
Li Changshou took out a scroll from his sleeve and raised it above his head with one hand. He casually shook the scroll open. There were lines of neat words on it.
“I, Li Changgeng, a disciple of the Dao Sect, have started a matter today! From today onwards, until the six Saints of the Purple Cloud Palace discussed the Great Tribulation, the Ren School, Chan School, and Jie School would not fight! If everyone agrees, I will sign this agreement! I hope that the three sects will prosper! I hope that the Dao Sect will not decline”
