"Gongming of Jie School wants to come to the Immortal Peach Banquet?"
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the white-robed Jade Emperor sat behind the jade table on the platform. He was puzzled when he heard the report of the Sea God Old Immortal.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Changgeng, why did you invite him over? Could it be that you invited such an expert to guard against the Western Sect? "
Below the stage, Li Changshou said seriously, "Your Majesty, this Senior Gongming likes to … ahem, likes to move. He has some ties with me.
This time, he came to the Immortal Peach Banquet … "
"Wait, let me guess!"
The white-robed young man on the platform pondered for a while and smiled. "Changgeng, you raised six eyebrows, right?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Six, six?
How did he guess that?
"Your Majesty, you're wise!"
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Firstly, it's because of the dignity of the Celestial Court. Secondly, it's to intimidate the Dragons. Thirdly, it's to show goodwill to Jie School. Fourthly, it's to open the way for the experts of the three sects to interact with the Celestial Court.
Fifthly, it's to guard against the Western Sect. Sixthly, it's to add some background to the Dao Sect for the Immortal Peach Banquet! "
I'll just force it.
Zhao Gongming had only come to the Celestial Court to find the Moon God to consult about his relationship.
He had tricked Grandpa Chao into coming to the Celestial Court because he wanted Grandpa Chao to understand the Celestial Court in advance so that it would be convenient for him to do things in the future …
However, when Li Changshou saw the faint smile on the Jade Emperor's face, he could only bow and say,
"Your Majesty, I've been preparing for a long time."
The white-robed Jade Emperor shook his head with a smile and changed the topic.
There were naturally as many invitations as he wanted.
Even if Li Changshou had not remonstrated and brought his people to the sky that day, no Heavenly General would have dared to stop him. The Jade Emperor might have concluded that there were eight reasons.
The Immortality Peach Banquet was just around the corner. After discussing many details, Li Changshou took his leave.
In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor stood up and paced, his eyes full of vigor.
Inside the Jade Lake Pavilion, the peerless female immortal leaned against the phoenix couch and thought carefully. She wanted to speak several times, but she hesitated, as if she had some misgivings.
Not long after, she summoned the female official outside the hall and said,
"Go and ask His Majesty if he can lend me his beloved minister, Changgeng. It's better to let the Sea God take a look at the various arrangements of the Immortal Peach Banquet at the Jade Pool."
The female official below agreed respectfully. She stood up and bowed. Then, she turned around and left the hall.
"So troublesome," the female immortal snorted.
She, who was originally dignified and elegant, couldn't help but curl the corner of her mouth and instantly break down.
"Stupid Haotian, you say that you're fine every day, but you're so narrow-minded!"
Footsteps sounded from outside the hall. The female immortal immediately changed her sitting posture and regained her aura. She squinted and waited for the female official to report some trivial matters to the Jade Pool.
After a while, two Heavenly Generals escorted a fairy from the Jade Pool and arrived at the Sea God's Residence.
The fairy reported gently. Li Changshou calmly agreed and said that he would report to the Jade Emperor and go to the Jade Pool to visit the Queen Mother.
There was no choice. That was a necessary procedure.
After all, Li Changshou did not know if the Jade Emperor would mind that. It was safer to prepare a case …
Hence, a small matter like the Queen Mother inviting the Sea God to the Jade Pool passed through the Lingxiao Treasure Hall twice. The Queen Mother and the Sea God each reported to the Jade Emperor once. That made the Jade Emperor, who was still a little smug just now, fall into deep thought.
What's … going on?
When facing him, was there a need to be so cautious about his junior sister, Dao companion, and his most trusted official?
As a Heavenly Emperor, how could he be dissatisfied over such a small matter?
Moreover, who was Minister Changgeng? Even if he went to the Jade Pool, he would not do anything rude.
"Huh?"
The Jade Emperor suddenly raised his eyebrows and received a message from his incarnation.
"Two Heavenly Generals of the Western Heavenly Gate are talking about Long Ji's marriage."
"Hmph, guarding the Heavenly Courts is such an important matter, yet you still dare to joke around. Each of you will have six hundred years of merit deducted!"
What was I thinking about just now?
That's right. Minister Changgeng will definitely not be rude.
…
When one of Li Changshou's paper effigies rushed to the Jade Pool, the other paper effigy stopped writing.
"Long Ji? Is there anything that bothers the Queen Mother? "
Long Ji, who was meditating at the stern of the ship, immediately opened her eyes. She first analyzed the Sea God's question and then answered, "Mother is usually very gentle and tolerant.
Sea God, are you going to see Mother? "
"Yes, the Queen Mother summoned me."
Li Changshou scanned the river below with his immortal senses and looked at the last hydrology diagram that was about to be completed. He smiled and said, "She said that she wants me to set up the Immortal Peach Banquet. I reckon it's just moving tables and wiping plates."
Long Ji chuckled. The three dragon-headed elders hiding around the small boat also laughed.
Although the laughter was very hearty, the scene was indeed a little … strange.
Li Changshou looked at Long Ji and stood up. He said seriously, "You've been watching from the side for more than ten years. This is the last huge river.
There are still eleven days before the Immortal Peach Banquet. Come and try to sort out the hydrology of the river according to what I did previously.
In that case, you won't have made a wasted trip. "
"Can … can I?"
Long Ji was stunned.
"Come on." Li Changshou held the immortal brush. "I have a sense of participation."
"Thank you for your help, Sea God!"
Long Ji cupped her hands and bowed with a Dao salute. Her face was filled with excitement as she walked forward quickly.
How could she not know that the Sea God was giving her a share of merit and letting her leave her name in the Celestial Court's merit book?
At that moment, Long Ji held her breath and focused. Every time she wrote, she would think carefully. The beautiful words appeared on the cloth.
Li Changshou stood outside the cabin and looked up at the world. His eyes were filled with peace. Most of his attention was focused on the Celestial Court. The paper effigy there had already arrived near the Jade Pool.
The so-called Jade Lake was actually made up of 16 celestial mountains.
Such immortal mountains could be seen everywhere in the Celestial Court. Most of them were desolate. They were only waiting for the number of immortals in the Celestial Court to increase and open up immortal residences.
Looking at the Jade Lake from afar, the sixteen immortal mountains rose and fell, forming a complete circle. Inside the circle was an immortal lake. That was the Jade Lake Origin.
The immortal lake was like a mirror that reflected the white clouds and the light blue sky. There were many Immortal Islands floating on it. The scenery on the island was magnificent and the layout was different. There were only a few pavilions that were very elegant.
On the immortal mountains beside the Jade Pool, there were endless Jade Pavilions and Golden Halls. There were people walking everywhere, and their laughter was like the chirping of hundreds of birds.
In the distant halls and pavilions, fairies were playing and laughing. That should be the resting place of the fairies of the Jade Pool.
In the hall closer to the lake, he could see groups of fairies meditating and cultivating in the dense spiritual energy. The atmosphere was much more solemn.
On the Immortal Islands on the lake, there were only the sounds of music, birds, and flowing water. There were very few people talking.
Li Changshou was led by the fairy towards the Immortal Island in the middle.
As he got closer, Li Changshou also saw the venue of the Immortal Peach Banquet — an immortal mountain in the corner of the lake.
There were already the thrones of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and hundreds of short tables for the banquet. There were many fairies flying around and hanging some exquisite decorations.
Isn't it all set up?
Li Changshou was a little suspicious. He did not know why the Queen Mother had called him over, but he was very focused.
To be safe, Li Changshou's main body, which was on the Little Qiong Peak, had already taken out his latest masterpiece, the Hundred Beautiful Iron Queens. He read it carefully and allowed himself to enter the mode of being indifferent to fame and fortune.
He was brought to a hall by a few fairies and went forward to greet the Queen Mother. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the beautiful woman in a green dress sitting on the throne.
Heh, a steel skeleton.
"Greetings, Queen Mother!"
"Minister Changgeng," the Queen Mother said slowly, "I heard that His Majesty ordered you to rein in the dragons during the Immortal Peach Banquet. I invited you over today to see how they're doing.
You can decide if you should reward or punish them. "
"I understand." Li Changshou bowed obediently. Just as he was about to leave, the Queen Mother continued.
The Queen Mother said,
"I've been living in the Jade Pool for a long time and have been busy with cultivation. I often blame myself for not being able to share His Majesty's worries. Fortunately, Minister Changgeng has entered the Celestial Court to serve. The Celestial Court is gradually on the right path.
Minister Changgeng, you have contributed to the Celestial Court's current situation. "
"I don't dare to take credit." Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Everything is under His Majesty's control. His Majesty is talented and ambitious. He works hard to govern and cares about all living beings in the Three Realms. I really admire him."
The Queen Mother could not help but chuckle. Her laughter was like a lark's mellow and moving.
Yes, it's just the sound of steel skeletons rubbing against each other.
"I will send someone to send the reward to your residence later. Don't reject it.
Minister Changgeng, I don't know much about the general situation of the world. I have some doubts. Can you answer them? "
"Goddess, please ask." Li Changshou lowered his head and cupped his hands. "I will definitely consider my answer."
"I heard that the Western Sect was the first to plot against the Dragons. However, you submitted a memorial to His Majesty and explained the pros and cons of this matter. Then, you asked His Majesty to allow you to help the dragons into the sky.
In such a short period of time, it had already reached such a situation. The Western Sect seemed to have lost …
How did you do it, Minister Changgeng? "
Li Changshou thought, 'I have to start from the moment a golden cicada swore in his Sea God Temple.'
"Goddess, you might not know." Li Changshou smiled and said, "The Western Sect is one of the few great sects in the world. There are also two Lord Sage. They want to take the Dragons. Firstly, they want to turn the Dragons into sharp blades in their hands. Secondly, they want to take a fancy to the accumulation of the Dragons over countless years.
If the Western Sect obtains this dragon's wealth, the Western Sect will prosper and have more heritage.
The great sects looked down on the Dragons and wanted the Dragons to be loyal, but they were unwilling to give the Dragons any benefits. Therefore, their methods were ruthless and they sent ferocious beasts. As a result, many Dragons died and were in pain.
The Celestial Court accepts the Dragons to uphold the Heavenly Might, establish dignity, and increase the power of the Celestial Court. It can give the Dragons many benefits and resolve their own negative karma.
As long as we grasp the general situation, there is no need to scheme too much. The Dragons will naturally submit. "
The Queen Mother nodded slowly and smiled. "Minister Changgeng, although it's easy, I'm afraid it's difficult for others to understand the hardships here.
However, how can the Western Sect be willing to accept that?
Will the Western Sect have any plans for the Immortal Peach Banquet this time? "
"Yes," Li Changshou said. "According to my deductions, I'm afraid some disciples of the Western Sect will come uninvited later. However, I have already advised His Majesty about this matter. His Majesty has already arranged a way to deal with it."
"That's good." The Queen Mother nodded slowly and said, "Since His Majesty is already prepared, I can rest assured."
The Queen Mother did not ask much about that matter. Then, she asked Li Changshou a few irrelevant questions.
For example, did Li Changshou already have a Dao companion, or did Li Changshou have any objections to the Heavenly rules, and so on.
Li Changshou answered carefully. From the beginning to the end, he did not make any mistakes. He did not take the initiative to look up at the Queen Mother.
When Li Changshou left the Queen Mother's Hall and went to the venue of the Immortal Peach Banquet to command the relevant work, Li Changshou looked at the beautiful figures in groups. He could not help but give them …
It was covered with layers of steel shells.
Hiss …
The latest painting's aftereffects were really too great!
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Changshou was also very busy as he ran forward and backward.
There was still half a day before the Immortal Peach Banquet. One of Li Changshou's paper effigies appeared in the Donghai Dragon Palace. He headed towards the Central Heavenly Gate with the Dragon King of the East Ocean, the Crown Prince of the Donghai Dragon Palace, the two Dragon Lady, and more than ten elders and generals of the Dragons.
As they traveled in the wind, Li Changshou repeatedly reminded the big shots of the Dragons.
The Dragons also knew that they were going to the heavens to submit. The Dragon King of the East Ocean also changed his golden robe.
As soon as they arrived at the Central Heavenly Gate, more than ten azure dragons pierced through the clouds from the west, south, and north. They flew over from the Primordial World and landed in front of the Central Heavenly Gate, transforming into human forms.
Li Changshou looked at the West Ocean Dragon King and the elders and generals of the Dragons behind the West Ocean Dragon King. He smiled in his heart.
The time of the Immortal Peach Banquet and the invitation to the Dragons naturally could not be hidden from the Western Sect. They could deduce that matter with a little deduction.
However, in the past decade, Li Changshou had been maintaining the details. First, he left the West Ocean Dragon Palace hanging and kept releasing waves of fake news.
It was only yesterday that he asked the Dragon King of the East Ocean to write a letter to the West Ocean Dragon King and asked him to choose the most trustworthy person to gather there today.
There were definitely many traitors in the West Ocean team. If they caused trouble at the Immortal Peach Banquet, Li Changshou could use his backup plan.
Taking in the dragons at the Immortal Peach Banquet was already an open scheme.
Regardless of whether the West Ocean Dragon Palace was actually controlled by the Western Sect or not, it had to submit to the Celestial Court in name.
That was the general trend.
"Everyone." Li Changshou extended his right hand. "Please."
The Dragon Kings of the four seas rode a cloud and flew at the front. Li Changshou followed beside him. The generals, dragon sons, and elders of the Dragons followed behind. Most of them were looking forward to it. A small portion …
He felt like his stomach was in disarray.
At the Central Heavenly Gate, 60,000 elite troops of the Celestial Court were waiting. Nine Gold God realm generals of the Celestial Court stood quietly.
At the same time, in the temple of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea.
Li Changshou woke up Zhao Gongming, who had been drunk a few days ago. Ao Yi, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, hurriedly bowed.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "The Immortal Peach Banquet of the Celestial Court is about to begin. My incarnation is waiting at the Central Heavenly Gate. Brother, go to the sky with Ao Yi. We'll meet at the Central Heavenly Gate."
"Alright!"
Zhao Gongming yawned and asked, "Should I bring some gifts for the Moon God?"
Li Changshou took out a jar of immortal wine from his sleeve and smiled. "I've already prepared it. This is the fruit wine that the Moon God likes the most. It's not something expensive. It's a form of friendship."
"Alright." Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and laughed. He carried Ao Yi and rode a cloud away.
In the northwest corner of the South Continent, on the small boat.
Long Ji wiped the sweat on her forehead and stood up. She looked at the Hydrology Diagram in front of her and realized how much the Sea God had done in the past twelve years.
If it were her, she would probably not be able to complete it in a hundred years.
"Alright." Li Changshou smiled and took out two treasure pouches from his sleeve and handed them to Long Ji. "My other incarnation is waiting at the Central Heavenly Gate. Bring these Hydrology Diagrams over and meet me."
The three ancient elders of the Dragons appeared.
Long Ji hurriedly asked, "Sea God, aren't you going back with me?"
"Yes." Li Changshou nodded. "Incarnations meet incarnations. They all have the same white hair, white beard, and old faces. I don't think there's anything wrong with them. I'm just afraid that the soldiers of the Celestial Court guarding there will be agitated."
Long Ji could not help but chuckle. She hugged the Hydrology Diagram Treasure Pouch that Li Changshou had painstakingly drawn for twelve years and rode a cloud to the Central Heavenly Gate.
Li Changshou also took the opportunity to take down the wooden boat Dharma treasure.
"Ah …"
Li Changshou's paper effigy stood on the wooden boat and listened to the surging sounds of the river below. He felt the abundant water spirits in the world and did not feel anything.
The curtains were drawn and there was no turning back.
This world …
"Huh?"
Li Changshou could not help but stop sighing. His main body, which was sitting in the straw hut by the lake on Xiao Qiong Mount, turned to look next door.
Is he going to wake up? He really knows how to pick the right time.
