Chapter 581: An Unexpected Reward
Li Changshou was a little nervous to suddenly command the Saint.
Of course, this experience was limited to the Grandmaster of Heaven. There was no chance to arrange for other Saints.
The Grandmaster of Heaven was the most amiable and down-to-earth among the Saints.
In order to let the Saint have the best “arranged experience”, Li Changshou decided to increase the precision of his plan!
The preparation work had also increased to twenty years from three years ago.
In any case, the longer the Qi Refinement cultivators in the Primordial World lived, the weaker their perception of the passage of time would be. To the elders of the Primordial World, there was not much difference between a few years and decades.
The most obvious person was his teacher, the Grand Pure One.
He could think for three to five years with just one sentence. It really confirmed that the Primordial World did not remember the years.
After his main body returned from the Green Touring Palace, Li Changshou hid in the Pill Chamber and changed the details of the plan for two months. He also sent Bian Zhuang to secretly go to the Fire Cloud Cave and bring new adjustments to the plan.
Now, Li Changshou’s paper effigy was out and about. In fact, its concealment could no longer be guaranteed. No matter what appearance it transformed into, or whether it paid attention to the details of its blood aura, it would be easy to be exposed as long as it bumped into a powerful mystical ability.
It was time to start using some subordinates.
Li Changshou knew Bian Zhuang very well. Although he was lustful, he was the type who had evil intentions but no guts. Although he was a little unrestrained, he could still be trusted when it came to serious matters.
Moreover, Bian Zhuang’s family was working for the Heavenly Courts. This belonged to Miao Honggen, so he could use it without worries.
More importantly…
Bian Zhuang was an important supporting role in the next calamity. No matter how the Heavenly Dao deduced, it would not let Bian Zhuang fall into trouble.
Based on Li Changshou’s understanding of the Heavenly Dao, there was a 99% chance that that was the case.
Did Senior Lang dislike the Heavenly Dao because the Heavenly Dao arranged everything back then?
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair and recalled the “Wanderer’s Year” that he had read before. He searched for clues that he might have overlooked previously.
Li Changshou was more inclined to the Heavenly Dao when it came to Senior Lang.
Why?
Actually, there was an example that Li Changshou had never mentioned—the Moon Palace’s Heng’e.
There was no lack of beautiful fairies in the world. If the Heavenly Dao wanted to crown the number one beauty of the Three Realms in the Moon Palace, or if it wanted a daughter of the Human Emperor to marry Yi, it would not be difficult.
Based on the speed at which the child of the Great Tribulation was growing, it would only take a few hundred years.
Back then, as Senior Lang’s disciple and one of the people who had the deepest relationship with Senior Lang, Heng’e had slept for ten thousand years and forgotten everything about Senior Lang. However, she had still survived.
Until now, Heng’e was still searching for the “puzzle” that her Dao heart lacked. The Heavenly Dao did not kill her.
In Li Changshou’s opinion, the Dao Ancestor had indeed done his best.
“Ah, the past is over.”
Li Changshou sighed and shook the fan gently. He was carefree and satisfied.
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation approached bit by bit. The curtain of the Primordial World had already fallen, and the calamity of the world was already prepared.
If he killed Kun Peng and sacrificed it to the heavens, he might be able to relieve some pressure in the Primordial World. He might be able to increase some variables and vitality for the people who were destined to face the calamity.
I have to take advantage of this opportunity to organize a three sects’ gathering.
It was not the first time that Li Changshou had pulled Chan School and Jie School together for a gathering. For example, the Asura Ancient City and the spiritual mountain.
However, the situation was different this time.
In the matter regarding Yang Jian, the attitude of Chan School was too subtle.
The immortals of the two sects were not stupid. How could they not understand that the key was the Saint’s choice?
What Li Changshou wanted to do was to let the immortals of the two sects have more ties with each other. When they attacked later, he would give them some face.
Although his thoughts were a little naive, after careful consideration, Li Changshou felt that that was all he could do.
“Senior Brother, are you busy?”
Ling’e’s voice transmission floated over from the side. Li Changshou restrained his thoughts and shook his head with a smile.
Outside the array formation, Ling’e, who had dressed up meticulously, rode a cloud over. When she thought of the previous scene, her face turned a little red. However, her gaze was firm, and her attitude was determined. She flew past the layers of array formations and landed on the other side of the door of the Pill Chamber…
Wait.
Li Changshou waved the fan in his hand and smiled faintly. He continued to think about the subsequent arrangements.
The enemy was in the Chaos Sea.
…
“What’s wrong? Why are you frowning?”
In the corner of the original Water God Residence, a young man and a young girl were swaying on two swings.
Looking at the swing on the left, he saw the young girl who was beautiful and cute. She had small rabbit ears on her head and a sweet smile on her lips. The pair of jade feet under her short skirt were slender but they gave off a vibe…
It was very exciting.
It was naturally the young girl, Yu Tu.
Ling Zhuzi sighed softly when he heard Yu Tu’s question. He leaned against the rope of the swing and his eyes lost their glow.
“I’m probably not Uncle-Master’s favorite junior anymore.”
“Huh?” Jade Rabbit was puzzled. The frequency of her wandering slowed down significantly. She was puzzled. “Why do you say that? Lord Taibai Jinxing thinks highly of you.”
“You don’t understand.” Ling Zhuzi sighed and said, “Just like recently, Bian Zhuang has been entrusted with important tasks by Uncle-Master, which are so confidential that he can’t even tell me.
After Ao Yi broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, he had taken on several roles. From the Heavenly River Navy to the instructor of the Heavenly Soldiers, he was also in charge of monitoring the fallen dragon, the Water God.
There was no need to mention Junior Brother Yang Jian. He was protected by his Aunt-Master and smashed the spiritual mountain… That scene was impressive.
Ah, I was clearly the one who came first.”
“Um…”
Yu Tu thought for a while and smiled. “Actually, Lord Taibai Jinxing still thinks highly of you. Look, regarding Yang Jian’s matter, you have also been entrusted with an important task by Lord Taibai Jinxing to stimulate Yang Jian’s emotions. Moreover, there was also a touching farewell and a life-and-death battle. In my eyes, that’s already very impressive.”
“Junior Brother Yang Jian was far from my match 200 years ago.”
Ling Zhuzi sighed dejectedly and scratched his head. He wanted to avoid this topic and not talk about these troublesome matters. However, complicated thoughts surged in his heart and he could not help but feel even more disappointed.
The feeling of being surpassed was indeed unpleasant.
In particular, Ling Zhuzi had recently been stuck at the realm before the Golden Immortal realm. No matter how he tried to comprehend it, he could not achieve perfection.
Even though he belonged to the third generation of Chan School, the grand-disciple of the Saint, and Disciple-Nephew Tai Bai, he could not make the bottleneck in front of him disappear.
Ling Zhuzi knew that if he spoke, he could actually obtain pills to break through the bottleneck. With his accumulation, it would not be difficult for him to survive the Golden Immortal Tribulation.
However, he was unwilling.
Secondly, Ling Zhuzi’s horizons were broad. The elders that he had come into contact with were all masters of mystical abilities in the world.
Even though his master’s cultivation level and abilities seemed to be lacking, he was still a true expert in the Primordial World.
The Golden Immortal was just a starting point. He would go on to become a ninth-stage Golden Immortal, followed by a sixth-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal, and then practice the Three Corpse Slaying Technique.
If he relied on external forces to break through the bottleneck, he would definitely be stuck long ago.
Ling Zhuzi sighed and said, “If I can’t stand tall and firm in the world, how can I achieve longevity?”
Yu Tu hurriedly said, “If you say that, do we, the little fairies who are living in the Heavenly Courts, still need to live?”
“I’m Master’s disciple after all,” Ling Zhuzi said helplessly. “Now that I’m far behind Junior Brother Yang Jian, Master will definitely be under a lot of pressure. Although Master is very kind, says nice things, and is gentle to others, he is very strong-willed. I should at least fight for Master.”
Jade Rabbit recalled the rumors of the Heavenly Courts and recalled the situation she had seen with the Cloud Mirror Art while following her master.
“Is the master you’re talking about Perfected Taiyi of Qianyuan Mountain?”
“Yes.” Ling Zhuzi blinked. “Do I have other masters?”
“Then it’s fine.” Jade Rabbit instantly shut up and turned her head to roll her eyes.
This fellow is good in all aspects. He is kind and naive. However, he is not good at judging people. There are all kinds of inexplicable misunderstandings.
“Rabbit, let’s fight! My hands are itchy!”
The corners of Jade Rabbit’s mouth twitched slightly. She stood up with a smile, and her gaze revealed faint disdain. “Don’t cry after I kick you.”
“Please!”
Ling Zhuzi made an inviting gesture with one hand and sealed most of his cultivation level. He was weaker than Yu Tu.
Jade Rabbit took off her cloth bag and changed into a pair of cloth shoes that fit her feet. She nimbly turned around and arrived in the middle of the empty space. She stood on one foot on the ground and her entire body was wrapped in a spiritual aura.
Immediately, everyone in the Water God Residence looked over.
Watching the Jade Rabbit and Ling Zhuzi fight was also an old show for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
In a courtyard not far away, Youqin Xuanya appeared in an ice-blue dress. She stood on the wall and quietly admired the scene.
She had been cultivating recently. The Heavenly Courts were worried that the Western Sect would take revenge, so they did not let her go out to kill demons and advertise. They had been very free.
Not long after, Youqin Xuanya disappeared. It was as if she had never appeared before…
Pa! Pa!
“I’ll hit you here today. I’ll go back and serve my master!”
After making a witty remark, the Jade Rabbit hummed a happy ballad. Her small feet tapped gently, and her figure rose and fell, disappearing in the direction of the Moon Palace.
In the backyard of the Water God Residence, Ling Zhuzi lay on the ground and sighed. His body was filled with the footprints left behind by the little rabbit.
He was not injured. After all, he was born from the Spiritual Bead. His body was very tough.
If he was really a simple-minded person, the one who would fall here would definitely be the Jade Rabbit. He deliberately gave in to her because… he felt that every time he was kicked by the little rabbit, his physical pain would increase slightly.
If others say that I’m not enlightened, I’ll laugh at others.
The Heavenly Courts only had one method to strengthen his body. It was also his secret.
Ling Zhuzi was very intelligent!
“No, if this continues, Aunt-Master might forget about me.”
Ling Zhuzi pondered for a while and sat up. He rubbed his chin and pondered.
According to his master’s teachings, his uncle-master’s guidance, and the things that he had seen in the Heavenly Courts for so many years, he should take the initiative to find something to do in front of his uncle-master.
Even sweeping the floor, sprinkling water, and watering the flowers was better than having nothing to do.
Ling Zhuzi did as he was told. He secretly ran to the vicinity of the Grand White Palace and found a desolate mountain floating in the sea of clouds to cultivate quietly. He waited for the right time…
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Ling Zhuzi finally sensed the abnormality near the Grand White Palace.
The Golden Roc had returned from the trichiliocosm to report!
Lingzi’s eyes lit up. It immediately rode a cloud and headed over. In its heart, it thought that it would be a good job if it could go to the trichiliocosm with the Golden Roc.
However, life is better than fortune.
As soon as Ling Zhuzi arrived in front of the Great White Palace, he saw the Golden Roc reveal its original form in the array formation. His Uncle-Master hurriedly tied some saddles to the Golden Roc’s head, legs, and back.
Just as Ling Zhuzi leaned forward, he heard Li Changshou say warmly, “Don’t get too close. Although this is refined by the Grand Supreme Elder, it has yet to test its power. Don’t hurt you later.”
“Oh… Oh!”
Ling Zhuzi agreed and immediately jumped thousands of feet back. After waiting quietly for an hour, he witnessed the Golden Roc’s first flight after obtaining the “new Dharma treasure”.
That extreme speed made the universe tremble continuously. The golden line left behind by the Golden Roc could not even be connected.
Li Changshou looked satisfied. Then, he took out a jade token and began to record.
Ling Zhuzi waited for a while. When the Golden Roc returned, he realized that he could not interrupt. He did not dare to disturb him. He bowed obediently and turned to walk to the Heavenly River to relieve his boredom.
How could a good man lose so easily?
Ling Zhuzi regained his composure and quickly returned to the desolate mountain that he had been waiting for. He began to wait for the next step.
In the next year, Ling Zhuzi witnessed the Golden Roc’s dozens of attempts. It seemed that Uncle-Master Changgeng was busy because the Golden Roc could break through his extreme speed.
He did not know how to help with that matter. He could only continue to observe from afar.
Ling Zhuzi secretly made up his mind. Later, if his Uncle-Master had anything to deliver, he would snatch to do it!
One day, Bian Zhuang rushed over on a cloud. Ling Zhuzi’s eyes lit up and he secretly followed behind. He entered the Grand White Palace’s main hall with Bian Zhuang.
Indeed, his Aunt-Master was holding a jade token. There was definitely a “messenger”!
Ling Zhuzi took a few steps forward and cupped his hands. He bowed and said, “Ling Zhuzi greets Uncle-Master!”
“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled warmly and asked, “Is there anything difficult or doubts about cultivation?”
“No.” Ling Zhuzi’s eyes were filled with eagerness. “I’m just a little free.”
“Then go and play with Jade Rabbit more.” Li Changshou waved at Bian Zhuang and handed the jade token over. “Same old rules. Remember to hide your whereabouts.”
“Yes!”
Bian Zhuang agreed and left hurriedly with a nervous expression.
Ling Zhuzi did not know what to say. When he saw Li Changshou looking over, Ling Zhuzi scratched his head and chuckled. He lowered his head and bade farewell.
His back view was so bleak.
Li Changshou looked at Ling Zhuzi’s disappointed back and smiled. However, he did not say anything.
It was not a bad thing to let Ling Zhuzi suffer some setbacks. He had a great destiny and was stuck at a bottleneck. If the Heavenly Dao did not deliberately make things difficult, it would be a mistake in his cultivation.
As for the future Nezha, there was no need to ask for too much.
The only thing that Li Changshou was worried about was the method of his reincarnation.
There would probably be a calamity awaiting Ling Zhuzi. He did not know when the calamity would come.
Speaking of which, the effect of the Golden Roc’s saddle equipment was quite good. Next, it was the experiment in the Chaos Sea.
Apart from the Golden Roc, there was a huge pile of array formations that had to be settled. He did not know if the twenty years of preparation time was enough.
…
When the Golden Roc went to the Chaos Sea to test the effects of the saddle, it naturally had to choose a place far away from the Xuandu City.
Li Changshou guessed that Kun Peng should be secretly observing every move in the Xuandu City. It would be too unstable for the Golden Roc to go outside the city to test it.
It’s not that he didn’t want to disturb his Senior Brother and Sister-in-law!
He did not know how Kong Xuan was progressing. It had been some time. If everything went smoothly, he might be prepared to be called “Uncle”.
Ah, what should I do with Wen Jing?
In order to make Wen Jing loyal to Ren School, he had to make some empty promises later.
Then, Wen Jing sucked the golden lotus and dropped the twelfth-grade golden lotus. When she was about to reward him, she suddenly saw Kong Xuan and the Great Daoist Master hugging each other.
It was scary just thinking about it.
Even if the Great Daoist Master sacrificed himself, for the stability of Ren School, for the integrity of his teacher, and when he dealt with the two extraordinary female immortals and made out with Daoist Wen Jing…
Why are you so proficient?
This scene…
The children were the ones who shouted that they wanted everything. Even adults knew that they could not stand it.
Wen Jing and Kong Xuan were not easy to deal with. If the two of them fought, his senior brother would fall asleep immediately. If his teacher used the word ‘persuasion’, he would have to trouble himself!
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was better for the two of them to be at ease. He would not cause any trouble if he paid more attention.
With such complicated emotions, Li Changshou’s paper effigy hid on the Golden Roc’s back and arrived at the “testing field” that they had chosen.
On the opposite corner of Xuandu City, on the other side of the Primordial World.
The main purpose of the Heavenly Dao Barrier was to stop the living beings of the Chaos and the aura of the Chaos. As long as there were mighty figures who opened the way, it would not be difficult for them to leave the Heavenly Dao Barrier and return.
For example,
If Kun Peng was not afraid of the Heavenly Punishment and wanted to return to the Primordial World, it could actually walk in all directions.
If those Connate Godfiends and otherworldly demons wanted to enter the Primordial World, they could only enter from the Heavenly Dao’s gap in the Xuandu City. Every other direction would be blocked by the power of the Heavenly Dao and even killed.
He should be safe here although he could not eliminate the possibility of variables.
How can there be so many variables in the Primordial World? The world is so huge. Can we encounter anything here?
Li Changshou took out the Dharma treasure that he had prepared previously. He first asked the Golden-Winged Roc to use its extreme speed and record a number. Then, he asked the Golden-Winged Roc to wear a few saddles to test it.
The effect was unexpectedly good.
Li Changshou’s “Primordial Eruption” ejector could push the Golden Roc’s speed to a higher level in a short period of time.
They required a high consumption of treasures.
After testing the Golden Roc three to four times, Li Changshou shouted for it to stop. He made the Golden Roc remember that feeling and began to test the other saddles.
In that case, there would be a main force to pursue Kun Peng.
It took half a month for the Golden Roc to adapt to the saddle. Li Changshou wanted to return home.
However, the Golden Roc said, “Teacher, can I use all these precious artifacts and try to see what my current limit is?”
Li Changshou naturally would not reject it. The paper effigy hid in the Heavenly Dao barrier and let the Golden Roc fly around happily.
This time, the Golden Roc brought back a piece of news that puzzled Li Changshou…
“Teacher, when I just returned, I discovered a place. It’s similar to the secret place where Kun Peng Cave Abode was last time. It’s very similar to the arrangements of Kun Peng Cave Abode. There are complete Dao laws fluctuations inside. It’s not the Great Dao of Kun Peng. Should I go and investigate in detail? ”
“No.” Li Changshou subconsciously rejected that suggestion. “It’s safer. I’m just an incarnation here. If you fall into danger, you won’t be able to deal with it.”
He pondered for a while and asked, “Is that place far from the Primordial World?”
The Golden Roc hurriedly said, “I can reach it after flying for a while. However, it’s not too close.”
“Keep an eye on it. Don’t be in a hurry to investigate. Observe from the furthest distance to see if there are any living beings entering or leaving. If there are any signs of movement, immediately escape. Don’t continue fighting.”
“Okay!”
