Li Changshou did not hesitate and chose —
The third option!
He would go and get familiar with him. He would not expose his identity and leave a good impression on the Sea God Sect.
At that moment, Li Changshou analyzed the worst situation that could happen if he took the initiative to form karma.
He was not familiar with the white-robed man at all. He did not know his character and temper.
Moreover, Li Changshou had to consider that he still had the background of a disciple of Ren School. If he took the initiative, would the experts of Ren School be unhappy …
As his thoughts raced, Li Changshou's paper effigy slowly transformed into the old man with a white beard, white hair, and a benevolent expression.
Previously, when he came to the Sea God Sect to investigate, he had used that image.
The old man held his horsetail whisk and emerged from a forest. He deliberately hid some of his whereabouts, but he also exposed some Essence Energy disturbances.
In front of the Sea God Temple, half of the people who were about to go to the city immediately discovered traces of Li Changshou's paper effigy.
The gray-robed old man walked forward and whispered a few words behind the white-robed young man. The latter smiled and led his subordinates towards the town. He pretended that he did not notice the old man who had suddenly appeared.
Li Changshou immediately understood something. He carried his horsetail whisk and rode a cloud forward, thinking about how to "strike up a conversation".
He could not possibly say, "Fellow Daoist, please wait."
It was also impossible for him to casually pick up a brick and ask, "Fellow Daoist, did you drop this brick?"
If that happened, the eight guards would probably tear his incarnation to shreds.
Li Changshou kept thinking about it, but he was getting closer and closer to the task.
Soon, Li Changshou noticed a small detail.
Among the ten of them, the eight guards and the old man had wrapped the soles of their shoes with immortal power. They looked like they were walking, but they were actually not stained by the turbid air on the ground.
Only the white-robed young man's white boots were already stained with mud.
At that moment, the twelfth round of the preliminary test was underway in the Inner Sect Competition. Li Changshou had already fought his way through for the day. With a record of ten wins and two losses, he was firmly in the top three hundred and sixty …
Ling'e also had eight wins and three losses. Regardless of the outcome of the next match, she would be able to enter the next round.
Li Changshou was multitasking. At that moment, he naturally placed most of his attention on his incarnation.
This matter was indeed very important to him.
Li Changshou had been planning to avoid the Great God-Conferment Tribulation for a long time. Previously, the most reliable plan was to arrange for his master and junior sister to be minor officials in the Celestial Court.
However, this was not completely safe.
If he couldn't obtain the position of a legitimate god before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation began, theoretically speaking, he wouldn't be able to completely avoid the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
According to Li Changshou's observation of the general trend of the world, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was likely to be divided into two parts.
The main part was naturally the arrival of the immortals of the three sects. It would happen in the South Continent. They would use the matter of King Wu's conquest of Zhou to select a "legitimate god" for the Celestial Court.
The secondary part was to purge the Dao factions of the Middle Continent, which were becoming more and more bloated. He would send more than half of the experts of the immortal sects to the Celestial Court to become Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
Although Li Changshou's cultivation level was not too high, he had already been planning for that before he became an immortal.
Under the Great Tribulation, most of the twelve Gold God of Chan School had their three flowers cut off and their Dao skills weakened. Jie School was either dead or injured …
He had to take the initiative and jump out of the God-Conferment Realm!
Li Changshou did not expect the Sea God Sect to attract such an opportunity.
Moreover, from the conversation between the two main figures, it seemed that they were "inspecting" the offerings of the illegitimate gods everywhere and taking in one or two illegitimate gods to expand their own forces.
This train of thought …
There's nothing wrong with it. It is indeed in line with the current situation of the Celestial Court.
However, he had to consider it carefully. He had to consider all aspects of Ren School, the Dao Sect, the Celestial Court, and the Dragons.
Today, he wanted to give it a try and come into contact with them. It would be best if he could form a good relationship with them. He would not scheme or scheme.
At the same time, Li Changshou was secretly alarmed.
Although the opportunity is good, I can't force it. I can't bow down and embarrass Ren School.
"Fellow Daoist?"
In front of the city gate, a kind-looking old man landed on a cloud. He held a book of the Sea God Sect's teachings in his hand and shouted at the white-robed young man.
"Did you drop this book, Fellow Daoist?"
After thinking about it, Li Changshou still used that method to strike up a conversation.
"Book?"
The white-robed young man in front of him turned around and looked over. Li Changshou saw that person's appearance with his own eyes.
He was handsome … a little ordinary, but he had an indescribable aura.
His eyes, in particular, seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life. They were extremely bright after being tempered by the mortal world, as if they could see through all the confusion in the world.
A few guards immediately walked forward. Li Changshou had already stopped 100 feet away. He held his horsetail whisk and bowed.
On the other side, the gray-robed old man bowed and returned the greeting for the white-robed young man.
The white-robed young man smiled and said, "I've never seen this book before. How could I have dropped it?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Speaking in riddles?
In his previous life, he had received nine years of compulsory education. In this life, he had learned so many sutras of Ren School. He could be considered half an expert.
At that moment, the paper effigy, who was disguised as an old man, smiled and said,
"Fellow Daoist, if you don't see this book, how would you know if you have dropped it?"
The white-robed young man smiled and carefully thought about it. That sentence was unfathomable. There was vaguely a hint of fate.
"Alright." The white-robed young man extended his hand.
Li Changshou wrapped it with immortal power and handed it over. That way, the guards would not have to move forward.
There were many passers-by outside the city gate. They were all mortals.
The white-robed young man and his group used some mystical abilities. The surrounding mortals did not seem to have seen them. Occasionally, someone would look over and feel that it was normal. Soon, they would look elsewhere.
A straightforward person would not resort to insinuations. Li Changshou also wanted to learn that mystical ability …
The white-robed young man took the book, "Sea God Sect's Teachings, Hardcover Edition". He looked at a few pages carefully and nodded slowly.
He smiled and said, "This book is indeed fated with me.
Fellow Daoist, did you recognize me when you rushed over to deliver this book? "
Li Changshou pondered for a while. He did not expect the other party … to really have such a bewitching tone.
He just had to cater to what he liked.
Thereupon, Li Changshou continued, "The heart recognizes, the eyes do not.
Fellow Daoist, you should be residing in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, yet you have appeared here. I think you must have come for my Burning Incense Sect. "
The white-robed young man raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said indifferently,
"Since you've shown yourself, could it be that you intend to seek shelter?
If that's the case, why didn't he come with his real body but a paper man? "
Paper man?
The faces of the Celestial Immortal guards changed slightly.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. As expected of a Dao Ancestor Dao Child, the junior brother of the Saints. He could see through the origins of his avatar at a glance.
Of course, it could also be what the grey-robed old man said …
Li Changshou said, "I have no choice, Your Majesty is magnanimous enough to forgive me."
Here, he wanted to confirm the other party's identity.
"Oh?"
The white-robed young man's gaze instantly became slightly playful. He glanced to the left and said, "It's slightly indecent for us to chat idly here. Why don't we go to a wonderful place?"
At that moment, the gray-robed old man took out a painting from his sleeve and slowly opened it. It was a painting of mountains and rivers.
The white-robed young man took a step forward and disappeared in front of the painting.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and checked the self-destruction and self-immolation restrictions on the paper effigy, as well as the anti-deduction items on his main body. He carried his horsetail whisk and floated forward.
As he approached the painting of mountains and rivers, Li Changshou felt a pulling force …
Light and shadows circulated in front of him. In a daze, he had already arrived at the place in the painting.
In a pavilion in the mountain, the white-robed young man and the gray-robed old man, who was supposed to be holding the painting outside, sat in the pavilion.
Li Changshou thought about how he should arouse the other party's curiosity and form a good relationship with him without implicating any other karma …
When he flew closer, he already had a plan in mind.
I'll play a few riddles and test the effect first …
…
A few hours later, in the dead of the night.
Three streams of light flew out of the painting of mountains and rivers. The benevolent old man that the paper effigy had transformed into bowed and said,
"I won't disturb your mood anymore, Fellow Daoist."
"Please." The white-robed young man made an inviting gesture. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes as he said, "Fellow Daoist, please consider what I said just now."
"Fellow Daoist, you should already know my difficulties."
"Ah." The white-robed young man's eyes were filled with emotions. He bowed slightly to the person in front of him.
Li Changshou calmly returned the greeting. Naturally, his Dao salute was deeper. Then, he bade farewell and rode a cloud towards the Sea God Temple not far away.
As soon as he left, the obscure Dao runes around the ten of them that were concealing their tracks became denser.
The white-robed young man stared at them for a while and sighed.
"I didn't expect that the person who knows my intentions is actually a wild divine ear!
What does Dong Mu Gong think of this person? "
"He's well-hidden and intelligent. Moreover, he has an extremely good understanding of the general trend of the world. He can analyze it thoroughly."
The gray-robed old man, who was also "Dong Mu Gong", said in a low voice, "In my opinion, the twelve pieces of advice that this fellow Daoist gave to His Majesty are really valuable."
"That's right. Most of them coincide with what I think.
There are a few pieces of advice that I have never considered before. "
The white-robed young man recalled them carefully. He felt that he had benefited a lot from their long conversation over the past few hours.
However, he also felt that there were many unfathomable things that he could not understand.
The "coincidental meeting" he had said just now was just to save face.
No matter how one looked at it, the Hierarch of the Southern Sea God Sect was rather powerful. His incarnation technique was not something that could be cultivated easily …
There were indeed many people who were hiding their abilities in the Primordial World.
Thinking about that, the white-robed young man said leisurely,
"If such a virtuous person can accompany me for a long time, the predicament of the Celestial Court can be resolved in ten thousand years."
"But Your Majesty …"
Dong Mu Gong wanted to say something but hesitated. "I think about it carefully. We can't figure out who this person is at all.
We only know that he is the Hierarch of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea. He is related to the Dragons and the Magi.
I actually … don't know anything else. "
"I previously deduced and discovered that the Dao runes of the Connate Cardinal treasure, the Taiji Painting, are suppressing his destiny. He should be from Ren School."
The white-robed young man smiled. "This person's identity is not simple. It's inevitable that he has some scruples.
Today, he used his incarnation to meet me. He should want to form a good relationship with me.
Dragons, Magi, Ren School … This Sea God Sect is really interesting.
Let's go back. We have gained a lot from this trip.
Later, remember to write the previous memorial. The content is to recruit the illegitimate gods of the South Continent. Then, bring this matter to the Sea God Sect.
The other illegitimate gods are just the blades of the great sects to harvest incense offerings. Only the Sea God Sect is not bad. "
Dong Mu Gong bowed and said, "I understand … Your Majesty, are you thinking of using a decree to force him to appear?"
"No, I won't do such a short-sighted thing."
The white-robed young man smiled and said, "What he said is not wrong.
Those who know me might not be compatible with me, and those who are compatible might not know me.
If he can give me a good plan in the future and solve my doubts, I will give him an incarnation, not to mention the position of the Sea God of the South Ocean. So what?
Dong Mu Gong, after I think about it, you can come to the South Sea God Sect to meet him.
My Celestial Court lacks people and immortals. What it lacks the most is the Heavenly Dao merit. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
At the Duxian Gate, on the gentle slope of the valley below the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou slowly exhaled and felt that his essence soul was almost blown out.
Did I … brag too much today?
Did I spill the beans just now, or did I not express myself clearly and cause the other party to misunderstand?
Li Changshou pondered carefully and checked himself repeatedly.
Today, he was not completely bluffing. He had also taken out some real goods. It was nothing more than a plan to rectify the internal problems of the Celestial Court and relieve the external pressure.
As he could roughly deduce the rise of the Celestial Court, it was not difficult for Li Changshou to find those plans. When he said the third one, he was already confident about the other nine.
Judging from the other party's reaction, he should have achieved his goal of forming a good relationship. Apart from that, he did not have any other plans.
What's the worst effect of this matter?
Li Changshou pondered carefully. It was nothing more than him being discovered by the experts of Ren School and secretly giving advice to the Jade Emperor.
However, Ren School itself supported the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court was currently under the protection of the Saint of Taiqing. As a disciple of Ren School, it was reasonable for him to give advice to the Jade Emperor.
There were many benefits to this matter …
"Senior Brother?"
Ling 'e suddenly asked softly, "What's wrong with you? You're sweating profusely. "
Li Changshou wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. However, he realized that he was covered in cold sweat unknowingly.
He smiled and said, "I've encountered some bottlenecks in my cultivation. It's fine. Don't worry."
Ling 'e blinked, her eyes filled with concern. However, she remembered the rules and did not say anything.
Li Changshou calmly melted his cold sweat. He deduced the possible future developments of the matter in his heart.
In a trance, it was red and fiery. I'm on top …
He seemed to have really fooled the young Jade Emperor …
Appendix: Twelve Strategies of Admonition]
The last nine strategies were:
"Respect the Saint, the Dao Sect, and the Ren School."
He had set the celebration for the Three Saints of the Dao Sect. He should think that the scale of the celebration for the Hierarch of Ren School would be the largest. He had to grasp this backer. That was related to the pride of the Saint.
"Be diligent in internal affairs, give up your power, and don't fight for credit."
He could not hold all the authority in his hands, nor should he reveal his ambition for the power of the world. He should be diligent in the matters that the Celestial Court could manage at the moment. He should release the authority that he could not control and slowly take it back in the future.
"Set up the Heavenly Rules, set up the Heavenly Punishment, and be reasonable tomorrow."
He would perfect the various Heavenly Rules of the Celestial Court and be prepared to use the Heavenly Rules of the Celestial Court to restrain the Three Realms at any time.
"Determine good and evil, promote humanity, and promote etiquette."
He would distinguish good and evil and teach people to be good. He would use the current main character of the world, the human race, to promote morality and etiquette.
"Commit evil, show miracles, and establish prestige."
He would first establish a portion of the evil forces of the Primordial World and then kill them in the name of the Celestial Court. He would first promote the dignity of the Celestial Court. Li Changshou frantically hinted to the demons at the edge of the continent that they were definitely the best targets.
"Recruit virtuous people, know their character, and have a little background."
There was no need to look at the background of the person who was selected. The Celestial Court had luck and merit. As long as they were loyal, kind, and talented, they could be placed in an important position.
"Determine the mortal world, dream of the Human Emperor, and honor the Heavenly Emperor."
He would use dreams, appearances, or other arrangements to let the current ruler of the human race hold a sacrifice to the Heavenly Emperor and make the existence of the "Celestial Court" in the mortal world.
"Look at the four seas, take in the old race, and transport the Netherworld."
Subdue the Dragons, increase the strength of the Celestial Court, manage the Netherworld, and affect the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and complete the power structure.
"Don't fight for the Saint. Make use of mediocre looks to seek peace."
This one was slightly different.
