1,500 kilometers away from the Duxian Gate, in an uninhabited "Rest Mine" spirit meridian, golden light suddenly shone and shone through the thick rock wall.
When the golden light disappeared, the figure hiding in it quietly disappeared.
With his previous experience, Li Changshou naturally could not stand obediently on the Xiao Qiong Mount and wait for the Heavenly Dao to send merit over.
Occasionally, he could be covered up by the Sect Leader of the Void Sect. Twice, thrice …
The immortals in the sect were not fools!
Yes, at least most of them were very smart. However, their imagination and associative abilities were slightly poor.
However, to be honest, this amount of merit points was indeed generous!
Not counting the accumulation of merit from before, just the merit that he had just obtained, Li Changshou could complete the Golden Body of Merit that he had expected … an entire forearm!
At that moment, his essence soul was soaking in the pure power of merit and swimming around happily. The Sea God Steel Trident, ahem, the Sea God's Divine Power Treasure, was also wrapped in the power of merit. It seemed to have become purer …
Satisfied, gratified, and touched!
Twelve years of painstaking efforts to draw the diagram …
I've made a killing this time!
However, Li Changshou knew that there were very few opportunities to obtain merit.
Firstly, the South Continent was rather special. As the main characters of the world, 80% to 90% of the destiny of the human race was gathered in the mortal world of the South Continent.
Secondly, he had investigated the waterways and included them in the Celestial Court's management. It could be considered as slightly completing the Divine Power of the Celestial Court and indirectly completing the details of the Heavenly Dao.
That was why Li Changshou had obtained so much merit after combining those two items.
If he wanted to obtain similar merit, he could follow the same train of thought and investigate the mountains of the South Continent.
However, water was beneficial to the people. It was extremely important to mortals. The people relied on water to live.
The mountain was a little lacking. The merit that he could obtain should be very little.
However, no matter how thin a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. Li Changshou decided to send a paper effigy to slowly deal with the matter regarding the Dragons.
Today, there was a second huge amount of merit!
Li Changshou circled around the Duxian Gate and hid in a river. He waited quietly while his immortal senses continuously explored the various areas within a radius of 5,000 kilometers.
In the mountain gate, Ling 'e was still in a meditative state as if she had returned to sleep. Li Changshou changed the note beside her hand and asked her to eat the peaches when she woke up to continue consolidating her realm. At night, they would have a friendly exchange between brothers and sisters.
While Li Changshou's main body was moving, the paper effigy was not idle.
In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happened today, apart from the 'Sea God' paper effigy that was causing trouble in the Celestial Court, he stopped the activities of all the other paper effigies.
Go all out for the Feast of Peaches!
…
A moment ago, at the Immortal Peach Banquet, Li Changshou thanked him for his contribution and returned the Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword.
A golden light flashed in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. When a large amount of merit flew towards Li Changshou's main body, a golden light also shone on Long Ji, who was beside Li Changshou, causing her body to be covered in a layer of golden powder.
Jade Emperor looked at his daughter with a smile. Long Ji immediately lowered her head and did not dare to look at her father.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Along the way, Her Highness Long Ji has contributed. She has helped me investigate the water route and also used the Demon-Slaying Sword to kill demons.
Your Majesty, you should reward her. "
"Hahahaha!"
Jade Emperor immediately laughed heartily. He looked at Long Ji's uneasy face and said warmly, "Go change your clothes and find your mother to take a seat. There are distinguished guests in the Celestial Court today. Don't be rude."
Long Ji's thin body trembled slightly. She looked up at Jade Emperor and hurriedly lowered her head. She said gently, "I accept your orders."
Li Changshou smiled in his heart when he saw that.
Twelve years ago, he had discovered something. Although the Jade Emperor doted on Long Ji, he had never announced her existence to the public. There were very few people in the Celestial Court who knew about the Heavenly Emperor's daughter.
In Long Ji's heart, that was a small knot.
Li Changshou had only taken advantage of the situation to help Long Ji. To him, it was a small matter. It could also make the Jade Emperor feel proud. At the same time, it could pave the way for him to plot against the God Conferment Tribulation …
It was another matter of killing several birds with one stone.
"Sea God." Long Ji shouted softly, her voice a little excited. "I'll come over later."
Li Changshou glanced at her and cupped his hands with a smile. Then, he turned around and walked forward.
The Jade Emperor raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou's arm. He dragged him into the immortal banquet venue and sent him to the empty seat. "Minister Changgeng, it's been hard on you. Quickly take a seat. Today's Immortal Peach Banquet should be a celebration for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Jade Emperor turned around and returned to his throne. Li Changshou bowed to Zhao Gongming and smiled. "Greetings, Senior Gongming. Senior Gongming actually came earlier than me."
Zhao Gongming smiled and stroked his beard. He knew that everyone in the Celestial Court was putting on a show for the Western Sect and the Dragons.
"Hahaha, Brother Sea God, don't stand on ceremony. We're of the same generation. You have a close relationship with my second sister. Why are you being so polite?"
Then, Li Changshou turned to look at the old Daoist priest standing at the side, as well as the other five old Daoists sitting at the side. He could not help but frown and look puzzled.
He exclaimed softly, "Why are there unfamiliar faces here? Lord Mu Gong, which experts did His Majesty invite this time? "
Dong Mu Gong said, "His Majesty is entertaining the heroes of the Dragons and Senior Gongming for this Immortal Peach Banquet. He did not invite any other guests."
"Oh?"
Li Changshou frowned and looked at the six Lao Dao. Before he sat down, he had already begun to attack.
"In other words, these six people came uninvited?"
Lao Dao snorted coldly and said calmly, "Could it be that the Sea God doesn't welcome the Western Sect?"
"Oh, the Western Sect … Naturally, we don't welcome you."
The six Lao Dao could not help but frown. They were caught off guard by Li Changshou's act of falling out with him.
According to the practice of the Primordial World's "old schemes", wouldn't they first welcome each other with a smile, then hide a dagger in their smile, and be good at implying something? In the end, they would play a game. If they really could not do it, they would fall out with each other.
"What do you mean, Sea God?"
Li Changshou stood up straight and looked at Lao Dao's face.
He said calmly, "The last time I followed His Majesty to the West Ocean to inspect the situation in the West Ocean, I was ambushed by the Six-Winged Golden Cicada that you raised in the Western Sect. It wanted to kill me. Today, you actually swaggered to the Celestial Court for a banquet.
Hehe, the Western Sect has really taken all the good things in the world! "
Another Lao Dao in tattered clothes stood up. His eyes shone brightly as he stared at Li Changshou. He said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, don't slander me. What does the Six-Winged Golden Cicada have to do with the Western Sect?"
Li Changshou sneered. "It's this trick again!
Such lies come out of your mouth. You have both pride and sinister schemes!
The Western Sect is really full of tricks. "
Lao Dao was about to step over the short table and attack Li Changshou. Behind Li Changshou, Grandpa Chao calmly took half a step forward and said leisurely,
"Why is the ground of the Jade Pool a little slippery?"
The six Lao Dao widened their eyes, but they stood there obediently and restrained their auras.
They could only fight in today's situation. They probably … could not fight.
Lao Dao, who was the first to stand up, said calmly, "The Six-Winged Golden Cicada is a Primordial Beast. What does it have to do with the Western Sect?
According to the legends of the Primordial World, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada is good at the Cosmic Technique. If one eats its meat, they can live forever. If we capture such a strange beast, how can we let it live? "
After saying that, Lao Dao even sneered at Li Changshou.
He was clearly mocking him. The words he had used just now were actually the rumors that Li Changshou had asked the Dragons to spread.
He wanted to use his shield to block his spear.
However …
Li Changshou's eyes lit up as he shouted, "Do you dare to say that again?"
Lao Dao replied, "The Six-Winged Golden Cicada is the murderer of the Primordial World. What does it have to do with the Western Sect?"
"What a good excuse!"
Li Changshou took two steps back and hid behind Zhao Gongming. Then, he shouted, "Your Majesty! Please give the order to take down these six impostors! "
On the throne, the Jade Emperor frowned when he heard that.
In various parts of the Immortal Peach Banquet, the generals of the Heavenly Courts and the dragons of the dragon race stood up.
A few officials of the Celestial Court who were closer to the six Western Lao Dao jumped far away.
When Dong Mu Gong saw that, he immediately spread his arms and rushed out. He was fearless and righteous. He stood in front of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother and shouted,
"Guards!"
Dong Mu Gong was considered the second most powerful figure in the Celestial Court. He also had the function of the Grand Marshal of the Celestial Court.
At that moment, he shouted loudly. The tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers near the Jade Pool moved together. More than a hundred Heavenly Generals immediately swarmed over.
Zhao Gongming's beard fluttered. He was already having a hard time holding back his laughter.
A nameless expert from Ren School, who was in the backyard of the Tushita Palace, looked at the cloud mirror in front of him and laughed until he could not breathe.
The six disciples of the Saint of the Western Sect were speechless. One of them cursed, "I've often heard that the Sea God is known for his wisdom and is valued by the Jade Emperor. I never expected him to be a troublemaker and a slanderer!"
The Jade Emperor said,
"Minister Changgeng, how can you be sure that they are not disciples of the Western Saint?"
Li Changshou praised in his heart. What a great assist!
This scene was not recorded in Li Changshou's previous memorial.
Earlier, Li Changshou had made a few suggestions on the general procedure of today's Immortality Peach Banquet in the form of a memorial.
Although he and the Jade Emperor knew that the Lao Dao from the Western Sect would come, they did not know where they would start to attack. Therefore, they had only formulated a general strategy to deal with them and could not discuss too many details.
At that moment, the six old Daoists could not keep up with Li Changshou's rhythm. However, the Jade Emperor could accurately block the attack and assist him. He was also prepared to stand outside the situation and take sides …
It was not easy.
Li Changshou bowed to the Jade Emperor and explained, "Your Majesty, you might not know this.
The last time I was attacked by the Golden Cicada, it was fortunate that you repelled it. I was furious, but I felt that I was useless!
Therefore, I secretly prepared and made a plan. First, I lured the Golden Cicada out of the West Ocean Dragon Palace! "
At that point, Li Changshou looked at the dragons behind the West Ocean Dragon King. His gaze was like a sword, but the dragons did not dare to look at him.
At that moment, most of the dragons from the other three palaces understood something. They frowned and looked at the West Ocean Dragon with wariness in their eyes.
The four old Dragon Kings remained silent. They sat there like stone statues.
Li Changshou continued,
"The Golden Cicada's Cosmic mystical ability can be said to be top-notch. It is rather powerful in escaping and tracking. I attacked with all my might and lured the Golden Cicada into the array formation that I had set up in advance. I used mystical abilities and spells in hopes of killing it instantly!
However, the Golden Cicada has a mystical ability that allows it to return to its shell. I could only beat it into the state of a larva. Just as I was about to add another strike … "
"What happened?"
The Jade Emperor could not help but ask. Everyone's gazes were focused on Li Changshou.
Li Changshou looked emotional. His eyes were blurry as he let out a long sigh.
"All of a sudden, the world was filled with rays of light. A figure appeared on the clouds. The sky was filled with auspicious clouds, and there were auspicious signs everywhere.
It was actually a benevolent Lord Sage of the Western Sect who suddenly appeared. He said that the Golden Cicada had once attacked the Golden Body of the Western Sect's Saint, so he needed to return the karma of the Western Sect. He brought the Golden Cicada back and asked someone to take good care of it. "
Li Changshou pointed at the six Lao Dao and cursed, "Now, these six people actually said that the Golden Cicada has nothing to do with the Western Sect!
If they don't know about this, they must be faking it!
If they know about this, they are deliberately ignoring the Lord Sage!
The two Saints of the Western Sect are people who listen to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace. The merit of the world has condensed into a Golden Body. Although they are only in-name disciples of the Dao Ancestor, they should be considered fellow disciples of the three masters of the Dao Sect.
Your Majesty, I'm from Ren School. I really can't bear to see them pretend to be disciples of the Saint and tarnish the name of the Lord Sage of the Western Sect!
Isn't the pride of the Lord Sage of the Western Sect the pride of the Saint? As long as he is a disciple of the Saint, he should protect him! "
The Jade Emperor nodded. "You're right."
Then, he frowned and looked at the six Lao Dao in confusion.
Suddenly, he heard a puff. The face of a Western Lao Dao flushed red. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The other five Lao Dao's expressions were extremely gloomy. They wished they could swallow Li Changshou alive.
At that moment, four shocking auras appeared on the seats opposite the six old Daoists!
The Four Sea Dragon Kings stood up. They did not say anything or raise their heads. They were all submissive.
However, behind the four old Dragon Kings, there seemed to be four azure dragon heads staring at the six people from the West.
How domineering was the dragon aura!
The Dragon King was the son and grandson of the Ancestral Dragon!
At that moment, the Dragon King's stance was very important. They could completely hide at the side and not say a word. They could let the Celestial Court and the Western Sect fight based on their abilities and then make the choice that best suited the Dragons' interests.
However, they stood up and suppressed the people from the West!
From this, it could be seen that in the eyes of the Dragons, Li Changshou, the Sea God, had increased the "weight" of the Celestial Court.
"Sea God." A Lao Dao in tattered clothes squeezed out a smile. "Second Master probably did not tell us about this matter. Sea God, please …"
"I didn't mention any master just now. Fellow Daoist, how do you know that the Second Hierarch of the Western Sect, the Lord Sage, took the Golden Cicada away?"
Li Changshou said calmly, "Could it be that you knew about this beforehand, but you are still pestering the Jade Emperor in the important place of the Celestial Court?"
The six people from the West did not know how to answer. They exchanged glances frantically.
At that moment, Li Changshou deliberately took a step back. His tone was less aggressive.
He said, "The disciple of the Saint also represents the pride of the Saint. This identity cannot be faked. How can the six of you prove that you are the disciple of the Saint?"
Hence, the six Lao Dao in tattered clothes were even more afraid.
Li Changshou smiled when he saw that. He first sent a voice transmission to Grandpa Chao.
"Everyone, the simplest way to prove yourself is to swear a Great Dao oath.
You only need to swear an oath to prove that you are the disciple of the Lord Sage of the Western Sect. There is no need to say anything else.
Or else …
I'll go to the Tushita Palace now and ask what will happen to those who pretend to be the disciples of the Saint! "
Moo …
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, he heard a cow moo from the side.
In the distance, Lao Dao, who was dressed in a brown Daoist robe, held a horsetail whisk and sat cross-legged on the back of the green ox. There was no glow or splendor, but it could make one's heart tremble.
What's more, when they looked at Lao Dao, they felt that they were facing the world. It was as if the world and the Great Dao had been given thoughts and emotions and had come to life.
It looked like …
What was the use of the Great Dao? There was no need for his dignity to be shaken.
Boundless clear energy was formed by him, and he was born after the Primordial World.
His words were reasonable, and immortals were present.
There was a Dao Venerable called the Grand Supreme Elder in the Three Realms.
The Grand Supreme Elder had come personally!
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly recalled if he had said anything wrong.
The immortals of the Celestial Court were shocked. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother immediately stood up and was about to welcome them.
However, the Grand Supreme Elder flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand. The green ox took two steps forward and the Grand Supreme Elder's figure appeared in the immortal banquet.
The Grand Supreme Elder looked at Li Changshou and raised his left hand.
There was less than a moment for Li Changshou to react. However, Li Changshou seized the opportunity!
He immediately walked forward quickly and supported the Grand Supreme Elder's arm, helping him down the ox's back!
"Changgeng," the Grand Supreme Elder said slightly.
"I'm here!"
The Grand Supreme Elder said, "Tie the ox outside. Don't be rude in front of His Majesty."
"Okay!"
Li Changshou agreed and led the ox out. At that moment, he was already walking as if he was flying.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother bowed and invited the Grand Supreme Elder to take a seat. She hurriedly added a meditation cushion beside the throne and sat slightly behind the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's throne.
The Grand Supreme Elder did not say anything. He bowed to the Jade Emperor and went to sit on the meditation cushion.
The six disciples of the Western Sect had already shut their mouths and remained silent. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the Grand Supreme Elder.
The Dragon Kings of the four seas addressed him as the Grand Supreme Elder. The immortals and gods bowed together. Zhao Gongming also went forward to greet him. He only called him the Grand Supreme Elder and did not dare to call him Uncle-Master.
Outside the immortal banquet, Li Changshou accompanied the green ox to a huge rock. He quickly took out an immortal rope and tied it to the green ox's nose ring.
The green ox spoke weakly in the human language,
"Senior Brother Changgeng … actually, there's no need … to really tie it."
