What happened?
Under the tree in the backyard of the Tushita Palace, Master Xuandu, who was resting with his eyes closed and cultivating in his dreams, slowly opened his eyes. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He had been arranged by his teacher again.
Master Xuandu deduced carefully and quickly understood what had happened.
"It's rare that I don't have to fight this time. I'm just going to help Changshou."
Master Xuandu chuckled and closed his eyes again.
That matter was still three years later. There was no need to rush over. I'll sleep again … ahem, cultivate for a while.
A few months later …
Golden Ao Island.
Ao Yi rode a cloud and left the Cave Abode where he and Jiang Si 'er were cultivating. He flew half a round around the periphery of Golden Ao Island and landed at the edge of a peach blossom forest.
He bowed to the front and puffed out his chest. There was a smile on the young man's face.
He shouted, "Ao Yi requests to meet Aunt-Master Golden Light!"
"Eh?"
The peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest turned, and two beautiful figures walked out.
They were two young girls. One was dressed in a light yellow short skirt, while the other was dressed in a fiery-red long skirt. The former's figure was petite and exquisite. Her face was cute and she was smiling. The latter's skin was as white as snow, and the collar of her long skirt was like flames, making her figure look even more slender.
Ao Yi recalled and recognized the latter. He hurriedly said, "Greetings, Aunt-Master Golden Light. Greetings, Senior Sister Fire Spirit."
The Goddess of Fire Spirit asked softly, "This is?"
The Goddess of Golden Light smiled and said, "This is the disciple of the Black Clouds Immortal, the Second Prince of the Donghai Dragon Palace, Ao Yi."
"Sorry for my rudeness." The Goddess of Fire Spirit nodded with a smile and bowed to Ao Yi.
Ao Yi returned the greeting again. He naturally could not make any mistakes in etiquette.
The Goddess of Golden Light asked, "What's the matter, Ao Yi? You've never been to my side. "
"It's like this," Ao Yi smiled and said, "Two years later, on the ninth day of the midsummer month, the Sea God Sect in the South Sea will hold a Sea God Ceremony, and this disciple will also be a member of the Sea God Sect.
My Brother Hierarch wants to invite the immortals of Jie School to attend the ceremony. He originally wanted to invite Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming. However, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill to trouble Uncle-Master Zhao Gongming for such a trivial matter of the Sea God Sect.
Therefore, the Hierarch asked me to invite Martial Uncle Golden Light to see if you have the time to go over. "
The Goddess of Golden Light smiled and said, "That's all? Then I'll agree.
By the way, Sister Huoling, do you want to come along?
The Sea God is not an ordinary person. This time, I can introduce him to you. He is a member of Ren School and is on good terms with the few eldest disciples of Jie School. He has extraordinary knowledge and experience, and his words are very nice! "
The Goddess of Fire Spirit smiled gently and said, "I have nothing to do. I'll accompany Uncle-Master on this trip."
"Call me Sister! Uncle-Master, you sound much older! "
"Alright, alright, Sister."
Ao Yi blinked. He knew that the two of them had a good relationship and were discussing their own matters.
After confirming that the two Goddesses would go, Ao Yi gave them a detailed date and address before bidding farewell and leaving on a cloud …
Ao Yi naturally knew that the Goddess of Fire Spirit had entered the sect earlier. She was also the personal disciple of Daoist Duobao, the first disciple of Jie School. She should be considered the Eldest Senior Sister of the third generation of Jie School.
In a sense, the grand-disciple of the Saint was even more important than a second-generation disciple like the Goddess of Golden Light.
There was one more Goddess who was going to attend the ceremony. I have to inform Brother Sect Master immediately …
Ao Yi rode a cloud back to his Cave Abode on Golden Ao Island. When he saw that his wife, Jiang Si 'er, was still sleeping soundly, he meditated on the bed and began to communicate with the Hierarch with his spiritual will …
A moment later …
"Goddess of Fire Spirit?"
In the secret underground chamber of Xiao Qiong Mount, Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that there was no problem.
Among the Goddesses of Jie School, the Goddess of Fire Spirit and the Goddess of Golden Light were naturally ranked at the back. One or two of them would not have much of an impact.
The guests of Jie School had already been confirmed. The Dragons had also replied a few days ago. Perfected Huang Long had informed them himself …
The "audience" was more or less decided.
In order to reduce the possibility of the Western Sect causing trouble, Li Changshou and Ao Yi announced to the public that it was the Sea God Sect's ceremony and not the Sea God Conferment Ceremony.
With that excuse, the Sea God Sect could openly build a huge venue in the south of Anshui City and the South Ocean …
At that time, many mortals would gather there to witness this important moment.
Now, the Sea God Sect had more than 20,000 official temples. There were countless believers, and it could affect a large area in the southwest of the South Continent.
The manpower and resources that Li Changshou could mobilize with a single order could not be underestimated.
This time, Li Changshou did not mobilize his followers to do hard work. Instead, he used the wealth that the Sea God Sect had stored to hire a large number of mortal craftsmen.
Driven by benefits, the craftsmen were also very motivated. The project progressed very quickly.
In just half a year, the ceremony venue had already taken shape.
The Sea God Sect's income from incense offerings was very considerable. Apart from the rewards given to the Divine Envoys and temple devotees to maintain the normal operations of the Sea God Sect, most of the wealth had been distributed by Li Changshou to the poor mortals in the Sea God Sect.
He did not need this "wealth" to support his cultivation. That way, he could also cut off a portion of the karma of incense offerings …
Most of the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village rushed to Anshui City and busied themselves with the tasks given by the Sea God.
The True Dragon Guardians of the Dragons who were stationed in the Sea God Sect were not idle either. They were in charge of dredging the waterways and building some water conservancy facilities. They also ensured that the weather in Anshui City would be smooth for the past three years …
In that case, the timing, location, and people were all in place.
Just like that, the grand ceremony was prepared in an orderly and tight manner.
Li Changshou was not idle either.
Apart from preaching to Ling 'e on time, occasionally answering questions for Youqin Genya, and teasing Little Aunt-Master from time to time, he stopped refining pills and array foundations to prepare for the conferment ceremony!
Becoming a legitimate god of the Celestial Court was a crucial step in his immortal life.
He would be able to escape the Great God-Conferment Tribulation in the future, earn more Heavenly Dao merit, get closer to the Tushita Palace, and obtain the protection of the Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore …
After he became the legitimate god of the Celestial Court, he would become a subordinate of the Heavenly Dao. Wouldn't it be reasonable for the Heavenly Dao to go easy on him during the Gold God Tribulation?
Just kidding, just kidding.
The Heavenly Dao was impartial. It was not a living being, nor was it a simple will of the world. There was no back door.
If he wanted to become the Gold God, he still had to rely on his own efforts.
If he wanted to pluck the Dao Fruit of Longevity, he still had to go through hardships.
Li Changshou had long been mentally prepared for that.
…
There were still two months before the Sea God Ceremony. The South Ocean seemed to be celebrating a festival.
If one looked down from the sky, they would see many mortals walking on the road. They spontaneously rushed to the south of Anshui City to offer incense to the Sea God.
The venue of the ceremony was ready.
A tall platform stood on the coast of the South Ocean. A large area of land was divided into hundreds of areas. There were railings and obstacles everywhere to prevent too many mortals from trampling on each other.
The Celestial Court was ready.
Dong Mu Gong had already obtained the decree and was waiting near the South-Heaven Gate with tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers. They were only waiting for noon on the 9th of May to make a dazzling appearance.
This time, the main idea of the Heavenly Soldiers' appearance was to be cool. For that, Li Changshou had also designed a few different light-effect battle arrays …
There was also the Celestial Court's congratulatory team led by the Moon God. A group of old immortals would descend to the mortal world to congratulate them.
On the Dragons's side, their preparations were more or less stable.
The Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas were already prepared. They were led by the four princes of the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. Three hundred experts, including the elders and Guardians of the Dragons, as well as thousands of Immortal Flood Dragon troops, were gathered.
Apart from the Dragon Kings of the four seas, the dragons did not know what would happen at the Sea God Ceremony this time.
This time, it was mainly for them to see.
The other guests did not have any problems.
Why did he say "basically"?
Li Changshou was helpless about that.
When Ao Yi went to invite the Goddess of Golden Light that day, the Goddess of Fire Spirit was also beside him. He invited her along.
However, it was unknown if the Goddess of Golden Light had taken the initiative to invite someone else or if the Goddess of Fire Spirit had told someone about it. There were expected to be dozens of immortals from Jie School who would come to join in the fun.
Li Changshou had really underestimated the appeal of the two "Goddesses" in Jie School.
Especially their influence on male immortals!
Li Changshou had put in a lot of effort into the defense of the ceremony.
The paper effigy army had already taken their positions in advance. Each of them carried a large number of immortal beans.
The Divine Envoys of Xiong Village had also formed two special patrol teams. They were in charge of maintaining order in the surroundings that day. Under Li Changshou's guidance, they had also set up a "Pseudo Heaven Divine Fiend Array" purely to scare people.
It was the "I'll form the head" series that Li Changshou had previously thought of.
Li Changshou had already prepared everything that could be prepared for the ceremony.
However, at that moment, Li Changshou still could not make up his mind about two things.
Firstly, should he invite the people of the Netherworld to attend the ceremony and use this opportunity to let the Netherworld feel the mighty heavenly might?
Secondly, should he go and accept the reward with his true body?
The first problem was not difficult to resolve.
Previously, he had set up a trap at Ox-head's side in the Netherworld. He only needed an invitation letter and a paper effigy to invite guests from the Netherworld.
The reason why Li Changshou hesitated was that he did not want to make the matter of the Dragons even more chaotic.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Changshou decided to invite the people of the Netherworld to attend the ceremony.
After all, in the background of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea, Magi were not an important part. Letting the people of the Netherworld appear could make the Dragons think more.
At the same time, he could also open the door to obtaining merit in the Netherworld.
However, the second problem concerned his life. Li Changshou had been conflicted for two years and could not make up his mind.
If his main body went out, he would not have the protection of the Great Daoist Master or the protection of the small pagoda …
There was no sense of security!
However, Li Changshou had a premonition that when the Deity Position of the Celestial Court descended, his main body would definitely be locked on by the Heavenly Dao.
At that time, it would be extremely easy for him to be exposed!
Moreover, if he used his incarnation to receive the reward from the Celestial Court, it would give others the feeling that he was neglecting the Celestial Court. That was against the original intention of the ceremony.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor was an existence that could use his incarnation to secretly monitor the Heavenly Generals …
Perhaps he would write it down in his little notebook!
It was indeed inappropriate for his main body not to go.
There were risks in going out.
Li Changshou kept thinking about a solution. Time passed by his fingertips.
Finally, half a month before the ceremony was about to begin, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He finally decided to let his main body personally receive the Deity Position!
For the rise of the Celestial Court and the people of the Three Realms, he could be said to be …
He was willing to take a risk!
Yes, Li Changshou was almost touched by himself.
He jumped out of his original thinking mode and changed his train of thought. Li Changshou's eyes suddenly lit up. A good plan surfaced in his mind.
"Use the real to confuse the fake!"
He wanted his main body to disguise as his paper effigy.
Li Changshou immediately began to make arrangements and activated his' main body 'series of paper effigies — Main Body No. 1!
Li Changshou raised his hand and swept it across the desk. A two-foot-long paper effigy appeared on the desk.
The paper effigy was half a foot thick. There were dense restrictions and runes engraved on it. There was surging Heaven Immortal immortal power surging inside.
There was a small "window" behind the paper effigy.
Li Changshou conjured hand seals with both hands, and the window slowly opened. There was a small hollow hole that was wrapped in restrictions.
He used the transformation technique and turned into a flying insect that landed in the window.
Then, he controlled the paper effigy to stand up and transform into the fixed appearance of the Sea God of the South Ocean …
His main body hid in the incarnation and messed up the immortals.
Then, the paper effigy returned to being a paper effigy. Li Changshou's main body flew out from behind the paper effigy and returned to his true form.
He first used the Bone Shrinking Spell to transform his body into the size of the Sea God paper effigy in the South Ocean. Then, he put on a white, wide-sleeved robe.
After doing that, Li Changshou sat behind his desk and took out a bronze mirror. He began to carefully … disguise himself.
His Dharma spells could be seen through, but he was not afraid of such a "physical" disguise …
The final effect of his main body was the appearance of the old immortal's skin when it was "young".
Then, Li Changshou put on a half-mask and used a concealment technique. Then, he used the transformation technique to transform into a small worm and returned to the paper effigy's body.
Not long after, Li Changshou's paper effigy left the Xiao Qiong Mount underground with his main body.
No one was alarmed. He quietly sneaked out of the mountain-protecting array formation of the Duxian Gate and rushed towards the South Ocean …
On the night before the Sea God's conferment ceremony began, Li Changshou's main body had already secretly arrived at the rear hall of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea. He hid in the paper effigy's body and guarded under the painting of the Grandmaster Hierarch.
He scanned with his immortal senses and saw that hundreds of bonfires had been lit at the venue of the ceremony. Countless mortals were singing and dancing there.
There were still a few hours before the guests from all over the world would arrive …
Ah, at such an important moment, I lack a good friend who can share my feelings with me.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He did not think that there was anything wrong with that.
I'll endure some loneliness first. I'll have a lot of free time in the future …
"Sea God, you!"
Without any warning, a sneer full of bitterness came from outside the back hall.
Li Changshou was stunned. Before he could stand up, a burly man with a beard jumped into the rear hall.
A burly man with a beard jumped directly into the back hall and walked forward energetically. He put his hands on his hips and raised his head in an awe-inspiring manner. He scolded jokingly,
"Speak!
Sea God, do you not treat me, Zhao Gongming, as a friend!?! You invited so many immortals from Jie School to attend the ceremony, but I'm the only one!
Believe it or not, I'll lie in your Sea God Temple today and not get up! "
