"Thank you, Brother Changshou, for your advice!"
At the edge of the forest, Ao Yi, who had horns on his head and the figure of a young man, bowed deeply to Li Changshou.
He had just violated his principles as a dragon and made such an outrageous request to Brother Changshou …
Although this was a matter of mutual benefit, he had indeed had ulterior motives and made things difficult for Brother Changshou.
Brother Changshou suffered from too little Dao heritage in Ren School and pursued a reputation of peace and inaction. The matter regarding the South Sea God Sect could only be carried out in secret. He had to keep it a secret.
Although Brother Changshou did not say it explicitly, Ao Yi was not a stupid dragon. How could he not guess such an obvious thing?
Now, the Sea God Sect in the South Sea had already begun to rise. There were Magihumans as Divine Envoys, teachings that promoted enlightenment and profound meaning, and experts from Ren School as backing!
Ao Yi had seen the abundant merit from incense offerings with his own eyes. It could not be faked.
What did the Dragons lack the most now?
Merit!
In the distant ancient times, the dragons and phoenixes had caused endless negative karma because they had shattered the Primordial World.
The phoenixes had directly withered and suppressed the Undying Volcano.
The Dragons had a strong reproductive ability. They had used countless treasures to suppress the destiny of their race and used the bodies of countless clansmen to fill in the Nine Polluted Springs of Heaven and Earth that had gone berserk at that time.
Only then did they barely survive … In ancient times, the Dragons had secretly formed a good relationship with the human race that had yet to become strong. They became the totem of some tribes and secretly accumulated some merit. That was how the Dragons' situation was alleviated.
Therefore, the Dragons had a deep understanding of how important merit was and how terrifying negative karma was.
A while ago, although it was difficult for him to say it, Ao Yi still said, "That's right.
"Brother Changshou, can I come to the South Sea God Sect to help out and be a Guardian to earn some merit to protect myself?"
In fact, Ao Yi wanted to rely on himself to gain some merit for the Dragons.
What surprised Ao Yi was …
Li Changshou quickly agreed.
However, he could tell that Li Changshou had agreed reluctantly.
Ao Yi understood. After all, Li Changshou was not the real mastermind. He was just an agent who had been pushed out.
Li Changshou must have valued their friendship, so he reluctantly agreed to let him come to Anshui City in half a month … to listen to him.
Coincidentally, during this half a month, he would return to Donghai Dragon Palace to look for his father and have a good chat with him.
Dragon proposes, God disposes!
Ao Yi was filled with energy. After thanking him, he bowed to Li Changshou again and again.
Li Changshou returned the greeting. After pondering for a while, he tactfully expressed his worry …
Soon, Ao Yi swore a Great Dao oath in front of him and recited the Gratitude Incantation. He swore that he would not tell the third spirit about the connection between Li Changshou and the Sea God Sect in the South Sea.
In that case, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.
Ao Yi sighed in his heart …
He, Ao Yi, was definitely going to be friends with him!
…
Li Changshou shook his head gently as he watched the Little Dragon leave on a cloud.
In the future, I'll treat this Second Hierarch better.
Since you've entered the South Sea God Sect, how can I let you just be a Guardian?
Li Changshou had already made almost all the arrangements. He directly appointed Ao Yi as the Second Hierarch of the South Sea God Sect and the Great Guardian of the Azure Dragon!
Later, after he sorted out the affairs of the sect and dealt with the Divine Envoys, he would add a statue of the Second Sect Master beside each of his statues. He would give 20% of the merit from incense offerings of the South Ocean Sea God Sect to the dragon race!
If not for the fact that the Heavenly Dao had already recognized him as the Sea God of the South Sea, he would not be able to replace the Hierarch unless the sect was destroyed.
Li Changshou wanted to follow the example of the ancient human sages and give the position of Hierarch of the South Sea God Sect to an expert of his sect.
The merit from incense offerings could not be given to the Dragons for free.
After using the Earth Escape technique, Li Changshou continued to get busy.
The most crucial step had been taken. Next, it would depend on the reaction of the Dragons.
What was this incident?
The Sea God, who was originally there to destroy the Sea God Sect, had his plans disrupted one after another. Due to the involvement of many factions, he was in danger of being exposed …
It was not that Li Changshou had not considered how the Duxian Gate and the Ren Church would react once his identity as the Sea God of the South Sea was exposed. He also wondered if he could cozy up to the experts of Ren School and use them to resist the schemes of the experts of the Western Sect.
However, even though he kept deducing, the final outcome was a dead end.
Not to mention the might of a Saint, for example, the Seven Arrows Book could curse the Zenith Heaven Gold God to death through the altar!
At the critical moment, Li Changshou reversed his thinking and sought a way to survive. He turned the factors that were originally harmful to him into conditions that were beneficial to him!
He took the initiative to accept the Sea God of the South Sea and used his identity as a disciple of Ren School and his understanding of Ao Yi to drag the Dragons into the water.
Then, he used the Dragons as a shield to withstand the pressure exerted by the Western Sect in the future and attract the attention of all parties.
Moreover, Li Changshou would reorganize the internal affairs of the Sea God Sect, repair the details of the teachings, perfect the management structure of the Divine Envoys, and strengthen the self-supervision of the sect …
At the same time, he would make the Dragons the best tools to show their divinity. He would also make the Dragons appear to protect the believers and avoid bloodshed between the believers.
That would solve the fundamental purpose of his trip to the South Sea — to avoid negative karma.
The reward he gave the Dragons was the 20% of the merit from incense offerings that Ao Yi had taken away.
No matter what, Li Changshou did not lose out.
What the Dragons lacked the most now was merit and luck.
Li Changshou predicted that although there would be some twists and turns after Ao Yi returned to the Donghai Dragon Palace this time, he would still return on time.
Moreover, there was a high chance that Ao Yi would bring the experts of the Dragons and station them at the edge of the South Sea.
He only needed to do three more things before he could return and let the South Sea God Sect operate on its own.
He would use incapacitating agents to deal with the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village.
He would think of a way to cover the faces of his many statues.
He would restrict the development of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea so that they could only preach in a certain area along the coast and not touch the interests of the Dao Sect.
That was the first major thing that Li Changshou had taken the initiative to plan …
He could not be considered to have taken the initiative. He had been forced to the edge of the cliff by these guys. He could only take the risk and counterattack.
He had to plan for the worst and fix the most details!
Li Changshou's paper effigy rushed straight to Xiong Village and used the only thing that he could do through the statue at that moment — give a dream.
Coupled with the incapacitating agents, he continued to show his divinity in Xiong Village, turning those iron-willed fools who were most likely married to their relatives into believers of the Sea God.
Would the experts of the Magi pursue the matter?
How could they pursue the matter?
The Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect had improved the lives of the Magihumans and benefited them.
Moreover, the Sea God Sect had been established by those Magihumans. Li Changshou was originally a "victim".
Half a month passed quickly.
Li Changshou had gone all out at the border of the South Sea. He had even secretly sent a batch of paper effigies over because the paper effigy had consumed too much immortal power.
He had put in a lot of effort to plan for the overall situation and try to eliminate any mistakes.
His efforts paid off.
In half a month's time, more than half of the 1,700 statues had their faces covered. The new statues would purposely blur their faces a little.
At the beginning of the Sea God Sect, they did need a clear face so that they could decide where the merit from incense offerings would go.
However, the South Sea God Sect had developed to this point and there was no need for them to reveal their true faces.
Ao Yi did not disappoint Li Changshou.
Initially, Ao Yi had brought back 300 Immortal Flood Dragon troops and a few Heaven Immortal realm experts.
However, Li Changshou had secretly ordered the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village to gather the disciples and appear again. He had announced that Ao Yi was the Second Hierarch and the Azure Dragon Guardian. Ao Yi was stunned.
After that, Li Changshou told Ao Yi the reason that he had already prepared.
The South Sea was remote. Li Changshou could not take care of it usually. The Dragons might have to put in more effort. Therefore, it was reasonable to give Ao Yi more merit.
Ao Yi could not refuse. He used the communication talisman to call for someone again.
The Dragons were also suspicious about that matter. However, the experts in their clan took turns to deduce the background of the Hierarch of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea.
They found that there was no such person.
Yet, Ao Yi swore that he would communicate directly with the Hierarch of the South Sea God Sect.
He must be an expert who had confirmed the "background" of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea's Ren School …
Hence, the Donghai Dragon Palace sent six experts and a thousand Immortal Flood Dragon troops to the edge of the South Sea. The troops of the South Sea Dragon Palace could also be deployed at any time.
That was because Ao Yi had to return to Golden Ao Island to cultivate and could not stay in the mortal world for too long.
Ao Yi had obtained Li Changshou's permission to arrange for a few experts of the Dragons to be the True Dragon Guardians of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea. At the same time, he could earn a small amount of merit from incense offerings.
Those Guardians would usually patrol everywhere and protect the members of the Sea God Sect in the coastal territories.
Ao Yi, on the other hand, was full of energy. He kept planning the next steps of the Sea God Sect's Dao preaching. He strived to develop and strengthen in thirty years and cover the edge of the South Sea in three hundred years!
Regarding Xiong Village, Li Changshou and Ao Yi had also discussed it in detail. He had instructed Ao Yi not to get too involved with Xiong Village.
At that moment, Ao Yi could not say that he was obedient to Li Changshou, but he was very grateful and trusted him.
He no longer addressed him as "Brother Changshou". Instead, he addressed him as "Brother Hierarch" …
There was no other reason. It seemed intimate!
Li Changshou reserved the right to complain at any time. He was glad that he was only Brother Hierarch and not "Brother Yu".
Although he could already escape from that place, how could Li Changshou really be at ease?
Li Changshou secretly continued to toss and turn. Three months later, most of the paper effigies exhausted their immortal powers and were destroyed by Li Changshou on the spot.
He left two paper effigies at the edge of the South Sea for emergency use.
At that point, Li Changshou's basic plan had been successfully achieved.
He took the merit and left the blame to the dragons.
Moreover, the Dragons had taken the initiative to join the Sea God Sect. They owed him karma, and in the future, the Dragons would have to repay him.
Of course, Li Changshou would not do such a thing. It was just a win-win cooperation.
The Southern Sea God Sect was also on the right track. The practice of accumulating wealth in the sect had been stopped, and the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village had also been given the title of the Sea God.
As the True Dragons continued to appear and protect the disciples, the number of disciples increased rapidly every day.
However, Li Changshou could not be completely at ease. He still planned carefully for a few months and continued to deduce possible problems and make preparations …
Half a year later.
Li Changshou finally came out of the secret underground chamber. He decided to tell his master and junior sister that the problem had been resolved for the time being. There was no need to be too worried.
However, as soon as he saw Ling'e, he gave Ling'e a shock.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong with you!?!
Why are you so haggard!?! "
In the straw hut, Ling'e hurriedly put down the needlework in her hands and stood up to welcome him. She looked at Li Changshou's weak face worriedly.
What's wrong?
He had been busy for half a year and deduced the general trend of the world for so long. He was just mentally exhausted.
After all, these involved existences like the Saint and the Golden God of the Zenith Heaven …
Li Changshou yawned and held two paper effigies in his hands. He floated to the side of his junior sister's bed and lay down.
"I'll sleep here for a while to recover my energy. Junior Sister, please protect me. Later, tell Master that I'm fine for the time being. Tell him not to worry …"
After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest. He still left a portion of his mind active and subconsciously remained vigilant.
Ling'e blinked gently. Senior Brother …
He took the initiative to go to her bed …
"It's good that the matter has been resolved. Senior Brother, lie down."
Ling'e said softly and slowly walked forward. She raised her hand and moved her senior brother's legs that were hanging outside the bed.
Lowering her head to look at Li Changshou's tired face, Ling'e pursed her lips and looked at him pitifully …
However, even though she pitied him, how could she let go of such a rare opportunity!?!
Lan Ling 'e licked her lips with her little tongue. A plan arose in her heart, and she became bold. She tiptoed to the back of the screen and found the thin chiffon dress that she had worn previously. Her snow-white skin was faintly discernible.
Of course, she did not dare to do anything to her senior brother.
However, while her senior brother was asleep, she could hide beside him and secretly remind her master to come over and break the scene …
As long as she begged her master to make the decision, her marriage with her senior brother would be settled …
She had long thought of this plan, but her senior brother had never revealed any flaws.
Today …
It was a heaven-sent opportunity, a match made in heaven, and a marriage made in heaven!
I have to take it down in one go …
"Is there anyone from the Xiao Qiong Mount who has not gone into seclusion?
I'm the disciple in charge of guarding the mountain gate today. Someone outside the mountain gate is looking for someone from the Xiao Qiong Mount. "
A shout was heard from outside. A figure had already barged into the outer isolation array.
At that moment, Li Changshou had already opened his eyes on the bed and slowly sat up.
Pfft!
The screen was broken by a small fist.
"What's wrong?" Li Changshou asked while yawning.
"No, nothing. I'm hitting a mosquito!"
Mosquito?
Li Changshou shuddered and no longer felt sleepy.
