The days of cultivation were always so fast. In the blink of an eye, a few years had passed.
Li Changshou did not say it casually when he said that he wanted to go into seclusion for twelve years.
It was difficult for him to stay in the state of ascension for too long. After all, it was the most rare opportunity for Qi Refinement cultivators to come into contact with the Great Dao. Li Changshou estimated that he could only stay for three to four years at most.
That was already very rare.
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that his accumulation before the Tribulation Transcendence this time … was indeed thick enough.
He had been in the state of ascension for seven years!
In the first year of seclusion, he had reached his expectations. He had advanced from the first-stage of the Gold God realm to the second-stage.
Then, he fell into a state of Dao enlightenment and could not stop for a long time.
What was the Dao?
Of course, that was not something that could be explained simply by the words "laws of nature".
At that moment, what Li Changshou needed to understand the most was the simplest question.
Fortunately, he was not clueless. The advantage of the Saint's Dao in cultivation techniques was completely reflected after the Gold God realm.
The path ahead had already been pointed out to him by the Great Dao of Taiqing!
Apart from that, Li Changshou could also use other methods to "beat around the bush" and "prove".
Li Changshou had a vague impression of some scientific theories in his previous life. For example, some particles that could not be directly observed could be observed to interact with other observable particles …
That train of thought could actually be used to comprehend the Dao.
Li Changshou did not know what was happening outside the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. However, he could still maintain a certain connection with his paper effigy through his essence soul …
Xiao Qiong Mount should be fine. There was nothing unusual about the paper effigy hiding beside his junior sister and master.
The sign that he had written and the note that he had left behind should have been seen by Dong Mu Gong and Ao Yi. The Celestial Court and the Dragon Palace did not disturb his cultivation.
However, the longer he went into seclusion, the greater the variables that might appear outside.
Li Changshou naturally could not delay the twelve-year period that he had set for himself.
Nine years passed quickly …
Li Changshou had absorbed all the insights after breaking through the Gold God Tribulation. The Dao Fruit produced by the Wuji Dao Foundation could be said to be extremely abundant.
He was also embarrassed. He had been eating, drinking, and sleeping in Fairy Yun Xiao's Dharma treasure. Although staying there was safe and comfortable, it was not a long-term plan.
Thus, he started to comprehend the Gold God Advanced Version of his self-created technique, the Qi Calming Tortoise Breathing Mantra.
It was somewhat inappropriate to keep calling it the improved version and the improved version.
At the same time that Li Changshou had greatly advanced this self-created cultivation method of concealing and simulating aura, he had also given it a new name — —
Golden Tortoise Qi-Calming Formula!
Yes, the main point was to emphasize the word 'calm'.
After entering the Gold God Stage, it wasn't easy to improve this cultivation technique because this cultivation technique was already very outstanding. When he was in the Heaven Celestial Stage, he could already hide from the detection of ordinary Gold God Stage.
However, as Li Changshou focused his attention and thought hard about it, he opened up a few more ideas and took the cultivation technique a huge step forward.
The principle of the Heaven Immortal version of the Turtle Sutra was to simulate different aura fluctuations from his Dao Body and Essence Soul, thereby achieving the effect of confusing enemies and allies.
However, for experts like the Great Daoist Master and Fairy Yun Xiao, who could see through his Dao at a glance, that disguise was like frosted glass.
Although it looked blurry, he could roughly tell at a glance.
Now, Li Changshou had started with the Dao. He used the Gold God realm to deepen his understanding of the Great Dao and hid his Dao!
As for the effect, Li Changshou could ask Senior Yun Xiao after leaving the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.
What was a background?
What was hidden was called a background. What was exposed to others should be called a resume.
In the Primordial World, which was filled with dangers and opportunities, if everyone knew about his background, he would not be far from death.
Of course, on that basis, Li Changshou still had to keep enough trump cards to deal with the more complicated situation in the future …
All in all, Li Changshou's ability to protect himself had indeed improved greatly.
Yes, the survival rate when facing Saints or mighty figures had increased from one in a thousand to one in a hundred. It was indeed a qualitative leap …
Seven years of ascension, two years of summary.
In the next three years, Li Changshou focused on the Golden Qi-Calming Turtle Mantra. He took advantage of the last moment to strengthen the two escape techniques.
The escape techniques that he prioritized were naturally the Earth Escape and Water Escape.
For example, the Lightning Escape, which had contributed greatly during the Tribulation Transcendence, was not very universal and could not be used frequently. It was far better to prioritize improving the Earth Escape and Water Escape to increase the survival rate of his main body and the paper effigy.
Of course, he had to do it. He had to adhere to the principle of giving priority to escape techniques. He could not waver even after ten thousand years!
In addition, the Great Daoist Master had a Cosmic Escape technique. Li Changshou remembered it.
Later, if he made any more contributions and the Great Daoist Master wanted to reward him, he could get that cultivation technique to cultivate. His safety would also increase.
The Gold God realm had to have a different pursuit!
The universe could be simply understood as "space". Of course, that explanation was a little one-sided.
The Cosmic Escape technique was to directly shuttle through space and teleport in a fixed direction. Ordinary Gold God cultivators would find it very difficult to cultivate.
The reason why there was a trend of "bricks" in the Primordial World was that high-level mystical abilities were rare and difficult to refine. Ordinary numinous treasures could be refined slightly and thrown out to unleash decent power …
Once the twelve-year period was up, Li Changshou decided to come out of seclusion. He could not continue staying in the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.
Moreover, in the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, his connection with the paper effigy was very weak. He was worried about staying there …
Before leaving, Li Changshou adjusted the Golden Qi-Calming Turtle Mantra.
[Deep Disguise]: Second-grade Gold God realm
[Middle Disguise]: Early-stage Heaven Immortal realm
[Shallow Disguise]: Middle-stage Perfected Immortal realm
[Outer Disguise]: Second-stage Essence Immortal realm
The identity of an ordinary Essence Immortal disciple of the Duxian Gate was still very important to Li Changshou.
After all, whether he could become a Gold God or not was only because the Lord Sage felt a little different when the Saint crushed him with a finger.
Before he became a Gold God, the Lord Sage's finger pressed down probably did not feel anything.
Now …
He reckoned that it could already be slightly hard.
Before he had the ability to protect himself, the three identities of the disciples of the Duxian Gate, the Little Daoist Master of Ren School, and the Sea God had to be separated. The latter two were the former's cover.
He checked his condition three more times and checked the broken jade, copper coins, and other small items that he had worn a few years ago. He repaired the Magi Secret Tome engraved on his Dao Body …
He could not let go of the deduction work either.
After doing that, Li Changshou shouted at his surroundings.
"Thank you for your help, Senior!
Senior, please let me out. I'm fine! "
"Are you done?"
Fairy Yun Xiao's gentle voice sounded. Li Changshou immediately felt energized and comfortable.
After a while, a beam of light appeared in the dark place. Li Changshou acutely sensed that a wisp of gentle immortal power had wrapped around his body and dragged him out of the place … The slightly salty sea breeze blew against his face.
The slightly salty sea breeze blew against his face. The sound of the waves crashing against the big reef and the sound of the seagulls spreading their wings were actually so pleasing to the ear.
Looking at the blue sea, the blue sky, and the white clouds in front of him, Li Changshou felt very close.
He immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Fairy Yun Xiao, who was standing up on the meditation cushion …
Li Changshou could not help but imagine the scene of Fairy Yun Xiao sitting on the beach with the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice as her companion, watching the sun rise and the moon set. He felt a little touched.
"Are you stable in comprehending the Dao?"
Yun Xiao asked gently, "It's only been more than ten years. It's really too short.
I know that you're busy, but your cultivation is the most important. "
"It's already stable." Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's not appropriate to keep nagging here, Senior.
Has the Great Daoist Master returned? "
"That's right. Senior Brother Xuandu returned to the Tushita Palace that day and entrusted you to me."
Yun Xiao nodded slightly. There was a hint of playfulness in her eyes as she carefully sized up Li Changshou. She smiled and said, "This should be the first time we're meeting, Fellow Daoist."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He had forgotten to use the charm reduction halo on himself.
"Well, I'm using my incarnation to move around. There are many secrets. Please don't blame me, Senior."
"Yes, I had originally planned to throw you out of the island if you still look like an old man when you come out."
Li Changshou laughed dryly.
"I'm just joking." Yun Xiao looked to the side. "Previously, Fellow Daoist, you helped my brother and sister. This time, I'll repay your kindness by protecting you. In the future, we can be considered to be even."
Li Changshou immediately understood what Fairy Yun Xiao meant. Although he was a little depressed, he knew that it was a good thing.
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Senior, you're being too serious. I still have to thank you for guarding me."
Yun Xiao continued, "It's fine. Before the Great Daoist Master left that day, he instructed us not to spread the news about you, lest we cause trouble for you.
It's not easy for you to run around for the Celestial Court and fight with the Western Sect.
I've already agreed to this matter. I've also reminded my two sisters. You don't have to worry. "
The Great Daoist Master is indeed considerate!
"In that case, I'll take my leave." Li Changshou bowed again and thanked Fairy Yun Xiao for protecting him.
Yun Xiao accepted the bow calmly.
At that moment, Li Changshou rode a cloud and turned around, heading out of the island.
He originally wanted to ask Fairy Yun Xiao if she could see his realm, but he could not find a suitable context. He could only give up.
"Fellow Daoist …"
Fairy Yun Xiao suddenly called out softly.
Li Changshou immediately turned around and bowed slightly. He performed the etiquette of a disciple and said, "Senior, please give me your instructions."
"If you have nothing to do, you can come to the Three-Immortal Island for a visit," Yun Xiao said calmly. "The Great Daoist Master is full of praises for your intelligence. I also want to discuss the Dao with you. I wonder if I will be enlightened."
Li Changshou was puzzled, but he immediately smiled and answered, "I'll definitely do it next time." He bade farewell to Yun Xiao again and turned to flee towards the sea.
This was not the Three-Immortal Island, but it should not be far from it.
Li Changshou used the Wind Escape technique and his body swayed with the wind. In the blink of an eye, he flew thousands of kilometers towards the mortal world of the South Continent.
The detour was only to avoid the "battlefield" where the Sea Clan and the Dragons were fighting to avoid any trouble.
Li Changshou was puzzled.
Just as he was about to bid farewell, Fairy Yun Xiao suddenly called out to him …
This …
It was obviously not in line with Fairy Yun Xiao's temperament.
She did not want to be tainted by karma and knew the harm of karma.
This time, she had protected him and returned the favor. The two of them had severed their karma. That was completely reasonable in Li Changshou's opinion.
However, why did she suddenly stop me in the end and give me a reason to enter the Three-Immortal Island at any time?
Such an invitation was not a small matter …
The Three-Immortal Island was not a place that a small Gold God could go at any time …
Could it be that she has a plan?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and tried to analyze and consider from Yun Xiao's perspective. However, the conclusion he came to was either illogical or unreasonable.
Forget it, I'll see in the future.
There must be a reason for such an expert to do so.
Li Changshou flew 15,000 kilometers and immediately found a small island to hide. He checked the treasure pouches on his body. Some of the treasure pouches had been destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation, but fortunately, they were all spares.
In half a day, Li Changshou did three things.
First, he disguised himself and hid his true body in the paper effigy's body. Later, he used that to return to the Duxian Gate.
Then, he used his spiritual will to communicate with Ao Yi and asked about the changes in the four seas when he was in seclusion. He also mentioned to Ao Yi the batch of Deity Positions that the Celestial Court had rewarded him. He asked Ao Yi to inform the Dragons in advance and ask the Dragons to confirm the candidates.
His Majesty's decree should be ready soon.
When he returned to the Duxian Gate later, he would use the paper effigy to visit the Jade Emperor and go to the Hall of Enlightenment to take a look.
The third thing …
Li Changshou took the initiative to contact his junior sister.
He was worried that Ling'E would be in a hurry to ascend to the Immortal Ascension Tribulation too early after he had been away for more than ten years.
However, Li Changshou did not expect that when he activated the paper effigy beside Ling'E, he would hear …
"Bang!"
"Haha, I won! This Martial Uncle has won again! "
In the royal chess room that had just been renovated in the Xiao Qiong Mount, Ling'E, Jiujiu, Jiang Lin'er, and Xiong Lingli were laughing non-stop. They did not seem to be worried at all.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
If not for the fact that Ling'E's cultivation level was already at the seventh realm of Dao Requital, which was similar to what Li Changshou had expected, he would really jump out and start a new round of persuasion and education with Ling'E.
Aunt-Master Jiujiu steadily entered the Heaven Immortal realm and became a member of the high-level foodie group of Xiao Qiong Mount, whose cultivation level was second only to Little Grandmaster Jiang Lin'er.
Li Changshou took the opportunity to send a voice transmission to Ling'E.
"I'm back. I'm fine. Don't worry."
Ling'E's eyes widened. She subconsciously stood up and flipped the chair behind her in excitement. Then, she raised her hand to cover her cherry lips and turned around to search for Li Changshou.
Li Changshou said, "I'm still on the way. Don't expose yourself. Continue playing."
Jiujiu was also puzzled. "Ling'E, what's wrong with you? Do you not have enough Spirit Stones? I'll just give you some. Don't cry! "
"No, nothing."
Ling'E quickly calmed down and complained, "Senior Brother is really this time. He went into seclusion for so long. I was hallucinating just now. I thought he was calling me."
Jiujiu chuckled and winked. "Do you miss him too much?"
Ling'E blushed, but she nodded slightly. She acknowledged it openly, making Jiujiu unable to continue teasing her.
As Jiang Lin 'er touched her cards, she comforted, "After becoming an immortal, you will naturally be in seclusion for a longer time. The Dao companions of Qi Refinement cultivators can't be like the couples in the mortal world who stay together day and night."
Xiong Lingli nodded heavily. "Moreover, couples in the mortal world have to knock their children unconscious every night. It's different from Dao companions in the mountains!"
Jiujiu and Jiang Lin 'er laughed when they heard that. On the other hand, Ling'E blinked and looked confused.
Li Changshou listened for a while and felt much better. He retracted his immortal senses and closed the paper effigy. His mind returned to his main body.
Let's go back first.
To be safe, Li Changshou raised a paper effigy and controlled it to carefully leave the deserted island.
The paper effigy looked like a young girl. It used Water Escape and rushed to the northwest.
The pair of sisters, who were secretly watching the place, tilted their heads.
"Is it him?"
"This is an incarnation. It must be those paper effigies. His main body should be hidden in these paper effigies."
"Go, let's wait for him ahead. Did you take the Dragon Binding Rope?"
"Yes, I did."
"Remember, you have to attack with all your might later. This fellow is very slippery. If you're not careful, you'll slip away."
"Yes! Yes! "
