"Don't think too much. I was just careless and weak just now. I just wanted to borrow your shoulder to lean on!"
Jiujiu raised her hand and patted Li Changshou's shoulder. "I've swept it clean for you!"
Li Changshou smiled calmly. Jiujiu shrank her neck guiltily. Then, she recalled that she was his Aunt-Master and snorted softly, pretending that nothing had happened.
Who knows how I managed to lean on him!
After sending Aunt-Master Wanjiang Yu into the Land of Reincarnation, Li Changshou and Jiujiu did not stay in the Netherworld for long.
Before they left, Li Changshou took out the "generous gift" that he had prepared and gave it to Ox-head and Horse-face.
There were a hundred spiritual fish and sixty-six spiritual beasts that were fattened and waiting to be slaughtered.
Ox-head and Horse-face originally refused to accept it, but Li Changshou's gift of gratitude was like a civet that crawled into their hearts and scratched them continuously …
They were really greedy.
Apart from cultivators, there were no living things in the Netherworld. They rarely could go out and walk around. It had been many years since they had eaten a mouthful of warm meat.
That was what the Magi liked.
There was a saying that the war between the Magi and the demons back then was not because the demons wanted to rule the land or because the Magi wanted to occupy the sky.
Instead … it was because of food …
Many great demons who hated the Magi were once the targets of the Magi.
It could only be said that the Primordial World was too mysterious and the biological chain was unreliable.
After sending Li Changshou and Jiujiu away, Ox-head and Horse-face sneakily returned to their duty spot — the mountain.
The two of them took out their special skills and set up a barrier to isolate the outside world from probing. Then, they set up a bonfire and raised a big fire. They took out two magic beast balls and looked at the two lines of words written on them.
"It's suitable to be roasted with mortal flames. Its meat is delicious. Roast it until the outer skin is slightly charred. The meat inside is the best."
He opened the spiritual beast ball and two spiritual beasts the size of suckling pigs landed on the ground. Their limbs were tied up …
Ox-head and Horse-face immediately got busy. Not long after, they cleaned the spiritual beast and placed it on the fire to slowly roast it.
"What is this?"
Ox-head looked at the two sachets that had fallen from the spiritual beast ball. He picked them up and took a look. There were even labels on them …
[Secret seasoning, slightly spicy]
[Secret ingredient, cumin]
"Is the human race so particular? Aren't we supposed to eat it after it's cooked? "
"Let's do it, let's do it!"
After a while, the two Shaman Tribe experts squatting by the fire let out cries of "incense" in unison.
Two hours later, the two of them finally ate …
Ox-head tore off a small piece of meat and tasted it. He closed his eyes and chewed carefully.
All of a sudden, he turned around and knelt on the ground. Then, he punched the ground with all his might, causing the mountain below to shine brightly. Layers of restrictive spells were activated.
Horse Face frowned. Seeing this, he tore off a small piece of meat from his hind leg, put it in his mouth, and slowly chewed.
In an instant, the mane on his head stood up. He felt as if he had been electrocuted, and two streams of tears flowed down from his big eyes …
"Ox, this is too delicious!
Ah, all my muscles and bones seem to have relaxed, but I actually have a shameful thought. I don't want to share such delicious food with our clansmen. "
"Horse, I hate it! I hate it!
I haven't cared about the way humans eat for so many years. I've missed so many years! "
Horse-face's hands trembled as he tore off the second piece of meat from his front foot. After chewing it, he praised softly,
"The scheming humans. Are they trying to use this method to mock the Lord of the Earth back then?
Ah … No, I can't bite so much at once.
The seasoning left behind by this human Heaven Immortal is too powerful! "
"Uh, Heaven Immortal? Isn't he an Essence Immortal? I didn't take a closer look.
Horse, can you eat that one of yours? "
"Of course I can. He hid his realm … Now is not the time to talk about that!
Ox, we need to split the things he left behind equally. "
"Impossible, unless you can defeat me." Ox-head shook his head decisively. "You know that I usually like to take advantage of you. I definitely can't give in this time."
"Shall we practice after eating?"
"Slow down, slow down … Oh, this damn smell!"
Not long after, a huge mountain beside the One-Line Heavenly Pass began to shake continuously. The restrictions on it flickered again and again, and two powerful blood auras shocked the souls of thousands of kilometers away!
A few human Qi Refinement cultivators who passed by could not help but frown when they saw that. After paying the toll fee, they were a little worried and did not dare to move forward.
Is this … reliable?
"Go over quickly. Don't worry. The two Lords are exercising their muscles and bones. They won't hurt you!"
…
At the same time, tens of thousands of kilometers east of Fengdu City.
After bidding farewell to the man in the headgear and flying towards the border of the Netherworld, Li Changshou smiled faintly and read the Pill Sutra in his hand.
As he was worried about Aunt-Master Jiujiu's safety, most of his attention was focused on guarding that place.
After all, Little Aunt-Master was a precious and protected woman. Of course, nothing could go wrong.
Jiujiu asked, "Changshou, are we going back now?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's rare for us to come out. Let's go to the family that Aunt-Master Wanjiang Yu is going to reincarnate in. It won't be too late to return to the mountain."
"Alright." Jiujiu grinned and agreed happily.
However, after flying for a while, Jiujiu pondered for a while and asked, "Where is that family?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
You're also a person who 'forgets after a glance' and 'disappears after a second thought'.
"Let's leave the Netherworld first and go straight to the South Continent. We'll look for it when the time comes. I've memorized the approximate location. I shouldn't be wrong."
Jiujiu raised her eyebrows and praised, "Tsk, I really don't have to worry about anything after following Little Changshou out. I'll leave everything to you!"
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He continued to read the Pill Sutra and repeatedly calculated how many trinkets he could prepare for the Tribulation Transcendence.
He headed east and left the Netherworld. He took the South Continent.
Jiujiu rode the huge gourd and flew for a total of two days. She arrived near a large city near the sea in the east of the South Continent.
The family that Wanjiang Yu had reincarnated into was the garrison general of the city.
He scanned with his immortal senses and the bustling scene in the city was reflected in his Dao heart.
Li Changshou suddenly felt a little enlightened. It was as if there was a voice telling him that he could take the opportunity to walk around the mortal world and make up for his Dao heart that was just a little short of perfection.
At that moment, he was only 97% confident of transcending the tribulation. No matter how many things he prepared, he could not reach the ideal state of 98%. There was still a hint of imperfection in his Dao heart.
Li Changshou said, "Aunt-Master, let's take a walk in the mortal world."
"Alright." Jiujiu carried the Evil-Vanquishing Ruyi Sword on her back and landed in a peach blossom forest outside the city with Li Changshou. They restrained their auras and headed towards the city.
At that moment, Jiujiu was walking on the ground. Li Changshou noticed that she was still wearing a pair of comfortable straw shoes.
Li Changshou only pursued ordinary cleanliness when it came to dressing up.
Jiujiu did not care about that at all. It was all thanks to the fact that immortals had immortal bodies and were pure.
After entering the city, Jiujiu looked around curiously. The mortals also looked at the young girl curiously …
So big …
How did she …
The gourd on her back!
Jiujiu had been cultivating for more than a thousand years, but she had rarely entered the mortal world. She had only been in the mountains.
Today, when she arrived in the mortal world, she was quickly attracted by the liveliness of the mortal world. She looked around and observed some strange mortals. She would also stop in front of a beggar by the side of the road and take out two Spirit Pills.
Then, she was scolded by the beggar, "Don't put everything in our bowl! Why? Do you want to poison me?! "
Jiujiu spat and did not bother with the mortals. She took light steps and searched for the most prosperous place.
She would buy a colorful mask and put it on. Then, she would sneak to Li Changshou's side and suddenly appear with a cry.
She would also stop in front of the sweet candied hawthorn. She could not help but wipe the corners of her mouth with her small hand and ask if she could use jade to exchange for two skewers.
Li Changshou watched from the side with a smile. There was a hint of peace in his eyes.
It was full of … the deja vu of an old father shopping with his little daughter.
Jiujiu played on the street for a while and attracted many gazes, but she did not notice it at all.
She smelled the fragrance of food from the side again and pulled Li Changshou to a restaurant not far away.
However, very soon, Jiujiu left in high spirits and returned in disappointment.
After getting used to eating the spiritual beasts raised in the mountains, the taste of the mortal world was indeed a little boring.
At that moment, Jiujiu also noticed that Li Changshou seemed to be in a bad state.
His gaze was hesitant and uncertain, and his Dao runes seemed to appear …
That was clearly a sign of enlightenment.
Although Jiujiu usually liked to fool around, she was rather serious at that moment.
First, she took half a step back without leaving a trace and followed behind Li Changshou. Then, she took out a short sheathed blade and held it in her hand. She released a wisp of immortal pressure to deter the surrounding mortals and protect Li Changshou.
At that moment, Li Changshou's heart was filled with wisps of Dao runes …
"Is my path really the path that I yearn for?"
He asked himself that question and strolled around the city. He pondered, reminisced, listened, watched, and recalled …
"Cornbread, four for one copper coin!"
"Vegetables, sold cheaply! Sold cheaply, they're all vegetables! "
"Mother, I want to eat roasted melon!"
Unknowingly, he walked to a market. Li Changshou walked casually and followed the crowd, searching for his own opportunity.
He did not think of any allusions, but he was not too afraid at that moment. The only thing he thought about was to be safe. If he had any insights and found a direction, he would suppress them.
Jiujiu followed quietly for a while and soon discovered a small problem …
Why can't I understand the Dao runes on this little disciple-nephew?
What the hell?
Jiujiu blinked. This was the first time she had sensed Li Changshou's Dao runes. That Dao rune was obscure and difficult to understand. Although it came from the same source as the Dao she cultivated, it was not similar.
A thousand flowers bloomed on a tree, and their cores and stamens were different.
However, she, as his Aunt-Master, could not comprehend Little Changshou's Dao runes. That explained the problem!
What's going on? Is Little Changshou broken?
The corners of Jiujiu's mouth twitched. For some reason, she felt competitive. The more she could not comprehend it, the more she began to comprehend it.
Hence …
She also comprehended it.
As Li Changshou walked, he roughly understood where his Dao experience was lacking. He broke free from the Dao enlightenment.
I came from the mortal world and obtained the Dao to seek longevity.
He was a mortal. There was no need for him to suppress the thoughts in his heart. There was no need for him to suppress his nature because he felt that this matter was not beneficial to his cultivation.
Yes … The word 'stable' had already been written in his personality, and it was still in a relatively core position.
In his previous life, he had often heard people say that places with people were the pugilistic world.
The principle that he had to understand now was actually that all living beings had "human nature". The place with human nature was in the mortal world.
The Dao was not one's self, and one's nature was the truth.
The last trace of Dao runes had been made up for today.
Li Changshou smiled peacefully in his heart. It was as if he had already seen a door in front of him.
As long as he took half a step forward and pushed open the door, he would be able to reach a brand new realm of life …
Longevity was within reach.
The Tribulation Transcendence had already entered the preliminary stage.
Li Changshou calmed his mind and returned from his enlightenment. He prepared to return to the mountain and begin the final preparations before the Tribulation Transcendence.
At that moment, a wisp of Dao runes surged behind him.
He turned around to look at Jiujiu and realized that Dao runes were surrounding his Little Aunt-Master. The immortal power in his body was surging, and his eyes were filled with confusion …
Why is Aunt-Master about to break through?
Is the Dao Enlightenment of the Mortal World so useful?
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced. He immediately understood that the Dao runes that he had accidentally revealed when he was comprehending his Dao heart had affected Aunt-Master Jiujiu.
Aunt-Master Jiujiu was already at the peak of the Perfected Immortal realm. Now that she had taken a step forward, it was very likely that she would directly step into the Heaven Immortal realm.
He could not be careless about Aunt-Master's breakthrough this time.
Li Changshou scanned the various parts of the city with his immortal senses and quickly locked onto a general's residence. He saw the young lady with a slightly bulging lower abdomen who was being supported by a maidservant as she strolled in the courtyard.
Two paper effigies jumped out of Li Changshou's sleeve and disappeared into the ground beside his feet.
Following that, a layer of clouds appeared around Li Changshou. He wrapped Jiujiu, who was in a state of enlightenment, with immortal power and used Earth Escape to bring her away from that place. He rushed to the East Ocean.
The turbid Qi there was mixed. If she broke through there, it would easily taint Little Aunt-Master's pure immortal body.
It could be considered an unintentional act of kindness.
He found a small island in the East Ocean. Li Changshou set up two layers of array formations and whispered in Little Aunt-Master's ear,
"Aunt-Master, go into seclusion here. I'll guard by the side."
"Oh." Jiujiu agreed. Soon, she closed her eyes and focused. She sat down in the array formation and felt strangely at peace.
Li Changshou was multitasking. He used the paper effigy to protect Little Aunt-Master while his main body was in the secret chamber under the Pill Chamber. He began to check the 'Du' treasure pouch that he had prepared.
One treasure pouch after another flashed and disappeared from his palm. The Dharma treasures, Dharma artifacts, pills, miniature array formations, and other necessities for the Tribulation Transcendence were all sufficient.
When Aunt-Master Jiujiu completed her breakthrough, he could invite the Great Daoist Master to descend to the mortal world and protect him during the Tribulation Transcendence.
That could be considered an "outstanding employee benefit" that he had obtained from working for Ren School. It was slightly more high-end than the team of guardians that Exalted Wang Qing had during his Tribulation Transcendence …
A little.
