"Hiss … Huh?"
In front of the straw hut on Xiao Qiong Mount.
The Turbid Immortal Qi Yuan, who had been in seclusion for half a month and had become a Perfected Immortal after eating an immortal peach, was standing in front of the straw hut. He looked at the situation outside in a daze and could not help but raise his hand to draw a few rainbows.
Where's the lake?
Where's the mountain?
How did such a huge lake and mountain suddenly …
Gone?!
The mountain was like a spirit beast that had been dissected. More than ten figures were flying around inside the mountain …
Qiyuan Laodao took a closer look and realized that those figures had used his appearance!
If not for the fact that his eldest disciple often did that, Qi Yuan would have been used to it. Otherwise, he would have been frightened by that scene!
At that moment, the Xiao Qiong Mount was enveloped by layers of light walls, hiding all the changes in the place.
Qiyuan Laodao turned his head to the left and was immediately attracted by the huge trees that required three people to surround them.
The huge trees were distributed in the soil that was shimmering with a faint golden glow. The original forest seemed to have turned into shrubs, and the air was filled with a rich aura of living beings.
Qi Yuan seemed to have discovered something. He raised his head and looked up, only to find himself in a daze again.
The spiritual lake that should have been there was floating in the air!
Someone had used a lot of Dharma powers to create a large transparent fish tank. There were groups of spiritual fish and gentle spiritual beasts swimming around slowly. The sunlight shone through the water screen, making everything look like a dream.
The original location of the lake had been cut open, revealing layers of mountain rocks. Below the rocks, there were piles of neatly arranged Spirit Stones and array foundations that shone with dense spiritual light …
The dozen or so figures shuttled back and forth between the Spirit Stones and the array foundations, constantly busy.
Qiyuan Laodao used his immortal senses to investigate. There were obvious signs of petrification.
What … What's going on?
So the Xiao Qiong Mount is made of Spirit Stones? Why didn't I know?
No, this is an illusion. It's definitely a mental demon illusion!
Qiyuan Laodao trembled. Just as he was about to walk out of the straw hut to investigate, he saw Ling 'e floating over from afar with a decorative jade tree in her arms.
"Master! You're awake!
Martial Uncle Shi and Martial Uncle Jiu had returned to the Heaven-Breaking Peak! It will be troublesome for you to go and find them now! "
Qiyuan Laodao shuddered. His horsetail whisk trembled slightly, and so did his voice.
"Ling'e, your Senior Brother is …"
"Senior apprentice-brother is modifying the mountain bit by bit. Master, don't be afraid. These are all formations designed by senior apprentice-brother to protect us."
Lan Ling 'e puffed out her chest and shouted seriously, "That's right.
"In order to live comfortably in the future, guard against the invasion of enemies, and protect the harmonious and beautiful future of our Xiao Qiong Mount!"
"This …" Qi Yuan frowned and said, "Does the sect know about such a big commotion and so many Spirit Stones and precious materials?"
"Don't worry, Master." Ling 'e used her immortal power to support the jade tree. She took out two scrolls from her sleeve and shook them open gently.
"Dang dang dang! Senior Brother did it!
The Sect Leader has given special permission for the construction of the Hundred Mortal Hall! "
Qiyuan Laodao opened his mouth and looked at the two "documents" carefully. He heaved a sigh of relief …
"But Ling'e, where did our peak get so many precious materials? Where did we get so many Spirit Stones? "
Ling'e smiled and said, "Senior Brother ran around outside and sold them everywhere. He worked hard to accumulate them!"
"Sell them!?!" Qi Yuan could not help but be shocked.
"That's right. He sold pills and spiritual beasts." Ling'e raised her slender fingers one by one. "Sometimes, he even has to work hard for some Primordial World seniors.
Master, don't worry. Go into seclusion and rest first. In another half a month, our Xiao Qiong Mount will be completely changed! "
"Well …"
Qi Yuan stepped out of the straw hut and looked around.
One of Li Changshou's paper effigies bowed in the distance. Just as he was about to fly over to explain, Qiyuan Laodao waved his hand and turned to return to the straw hut.
"Do it, do it. I'll continue cultivating now … Tsk, perhaps I'm dreaming.
Tsk, perhaps this is just a dream. I should be fine after going into seclusion for a while longer.
Yes, I'm dreaming … "
As he muttered, the door of the straw hut slowly closed.
Qiyuan Laodao returned to his meditation cushion and sat down cross-legged. He sighed slightly and kept releasing and retracting his immortal senses.
Hence, a month later …
…
Qiyuan Laodao slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his meditation again. As he was worried about the changes in the Xiao Qiong Mount, he did not have time to get up and released his immortal senses.
Eh?
Was I really dreaming?
Outside the straw hut, the small lake seemed to be still the same small lake. The low mountain of the Xiao Qiong Mount had also returned. The forest everywhere was still the same …
There's something wrong with the forest. It's much denser than before.
Moreover, as a Turbid Immortal, he could feel that there was too much spiritual energy in his small peak!
Pushing the door open, Qiyuan Laodao looked around.
He had been cultivating there for more than a thousand years. At that moment, he could not see any abnormalities. It was as if everything was so natural!
When he probed the mountain with his immortal senses, they were not obstructed at all. There were ordinary mountain rocks everywhere …
What's going on?
"Master, they're all illusions."
Li Changshou's voice sounded from the side. He walked out of the straw hut at the side and bowed to Qiyuan Laodao.
Qiyuan Laodao asked in a low voice, "Changshou, are you done setting up?"
"Yes." Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He handed a jade token to his master. "Master, there's a way to save yourself after you accidentally enter the maze array. Keep it first.
Moreover, this jade token is also a Dharma treasure. It can prevent some strange things from eavesdropping on your mind. You must carry it with you. "
Qi Yuan frowned and said, "Child, why didn't you give some Spirit Stones and precious materials to the sect? Why did you bury them?
Also, there are only three of us on Xiao Qiong Mount. Your Grandmaster has even moved to the Heaven-Breaking Peak. Why did he create so many array formations and illusions?
If the array formation of the mountain gate is broken, what's the use of having so many array formations on Xiao Qiong Mount? "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
If there was really a situation where the sect was breached, perhaps the Little Qiong Peak could really turn the tide!
At the very least, he could bring a portion of his fellow disciples to evacuate.
In order to prevent his master from lecturing him, Li Changshou smiled and changed the topic.
"Master, you just came out of seclusion today. Why don't you go to the Celestial Court and receive the Deity Position of the Mountain God? You can get some merit in the Celestial Court."
"Alright, what do you need me to prepare?"
Qiyuan Laodao had already agreed to Li Changshou's arrangement. At that moment, when he heard Li Changshou mention it, he did not resist.
Li Changshou said, "You don't have to prepare anything. I've already arranged it. You just need to nod and report your background to the Celestial Court …
Actually, I'm just going to register. "
"Then, I'll go change my clothes."
Qi Yuan said and turned around to rush back into the house.
Li Changshou smiled when he saw that. He used his immortal senses to look at his Grandmaster, Aunt-Master, and Junior Sister, who were playing in the chess room. He shook his head slightly.
His Grandmaster and Aunt-Master did not have any pressure on their lifespans, so they were not in a hurry to make arrangements.
A moment later, Qiyuan Laodao, who had changed into an azure silk Daoist robe, put on a "standard" Dao hoop, held a horsetail whisk, and stepped on cloth shoes. He looked like a Turbid Immortal.
"Changshou, what do you think of me?"
Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up. "The sound of the waves is still the same as before!"
"Hahaha." Qi Yuan stroked his beard and smiled. Then, he reminded, "Don't force yourself. It's fine if I don't obtain merit."
"Master, don't worry. I'm confident."
At that moment, Li Changshou bowed and gave Qiyuan Laodao a jade token. The incarnation turned into a paper effigy and entered Qiyuan Laodao's sleeve.
Li Changshou said, "Master, go to the sect and fly east. I'm already waiting outside."
Qiyuan Laodao followed his instructions. He looked at the newly added bamboo forest at the back of the mountain and Jiu Yushi, who was cultivating in the bamboo forest. He rode a cloud and rushed to the sect.
After leaving the sect and flying towards the East Heaven Gate, he saw a middle-aged Daoist flying over from the cloud.
Qiyuan Laodao immediately became vigilant and tensed up.
"Master, it's me."
The middle-aged Daoist and the paper effigy in Qi Yuan's sleeve spoke at the same time. Qiyuan Laodao heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Changshou walked forward and took the initiative to invite his master to step on his cloud. He continued to ride the cloud towards the East Heaven Gate.
On the way, Li Changshou reminded, "Master, this incarnation of mine is the Little Daoist Master of Ren School.
"Master, this incarnation of mine is the Little Daoist Master of Ren School. If you encounter any danger in the future, report this name …"
Qi Yuan frowned and said, "Why is your name so strange?
The Great Daoist Master of Ren School is one of the few mighty figures in the world. Aren't you deliberately basking in your nickname? "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "This name was given by the Great Daoist Master. It's convenient for me to work for Ren School."
Qi Yuan could not help but be stunned.
"Master, don't worry. If I talk too much to you, it will affect your mental state.
Master, you only need to know that I can take care of you and Junior Sister now.
Master, forgive me for being disrespectful. Let's address each other as Fellow Daoist. If your relationship with me is exposed, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you. "
Qi Yuan frowned and nodded. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
When they were about to fly to the East Heaven Gate, Qiyuan Laodao sent a voice transmission. "Fellow … Daoist."
"Go ahead."
"Without Ren School, there wouldn't be our sect, and there wouldn't be our Dao Fruits of cultivation.
I'm very pleased that you can work hard for Ren School. Remember, don't be greedy for small benefits and delay the important matters of the sect.
I don't know how to remind you. Take care of yourself. "
Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, "Yes!"
The East Heaven Gate was in sight. Qiyuan Laodao let go of all his worries and admired the magnificent Heaven Gate from afar. He saw the Heavenly Soldiers who were ready for battle.
The auras of tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers were intertwined. Their might was not inferior to the pressure released by dozens of Golden God!
Qiyuan Laodao's face was a little pale. He said in a low voice, "The Celestial Court's heavenly might is actually so great."
"It's a rather special situation now. There are demons causing trouble everywhere."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but a few months ago, an ancient demon gathered hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and many demon experts to provoke the Celestial Court.
The Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court sent 300,000 troops and forcefully suppressed the demons.
After that, the entire demon race became restless. It was said that a group of old demons ran to the Goddess's Palace to complain …
Fellow Daoist, guess what? "
Qiyuan Laodao smiled and said, "What happened?"
"The benevolent Goddess Nuwa sent a few fairies to hang those old demons up and beat them up. She warned them not to resist the Celestial Court."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "In the past few months, although the demons everywhere are not convinced, the prestige of the Celestial Court has increased greatly. Many people have come to join us.
At this moment, it's most reasonable for you to go to the Celestial Court to gain some merit. "
Qi Yuan nodded. Although he did not understand those things, he found it very interesting when he heard Li Changshou's words.
As they spoke, they arrived at the East Heaven Gate.
Immediately, a Heavenly General walked forward and asked the two of them where they came from and why they had come to the Celestial Court.
Qi Yuan looked up at the Heavenly Emperor Sword hanging above the white jade door. His essence soul … trembled.
He felt a little guilty for coming through the back door.
Li Changshou answered a few words and returned. He waited with his master at the East Heaven Gate. A Heavenly General rushed to the Water God Residence.
Not long after, a beautiful young girl rode a cloud over. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals lowered their heads and bowed, addressing her as Your Highness.
Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. "Why did you come out, Your Highness?"
It was Long Ji who came.
Long Ji smiled and said, "I'm having a lesson with Teacher. I'll go on his behalf. Which of you is Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan? Please follow me."
Qi Yuan looked at the "Little Daoist Master" beside him and bowed to Long Ji in a daze.
Long Ji, who was already in the Heaven Immortal realm, waved her hand gently. A white cloud appeared under Qi Yuan's feet and carried him into the East Heaven Gate.
Then, Long Ji winked at the "Little Daoist Master". The latter smiled and rode a cloud to leave.
Li Changshou had done that on purpose. There were many considerations.
The greatest use was to deliberately place some of his flaws and weaknesses in the hands of the Jade Emperor …
Let's not talk about the relationship between Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor. Let's talk about the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and the God of Power.
After today, even if the Jade Emperor could not confirm the relationship between Qi Yuan and the Water God's main body, he knew that Qi Yuan was definitely an important "relative" of the Water God.
As long as the Water God was still valuable to the Celestial Court and the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor would protect Qi Yuan …
Qiyuan Laodao looked at the young girl's back and could not help but ask, "This … Your Highness?"
"Huh?"
Long Ji placed her hands behind her back and turned her head. She revealed the elegant smile that the Jade Pool female immortals used and said, "Fellow Daoist, what's wrong?"
"You, you are …"
Long Ji said crisply, "My name is Long Ji. I'm the Water God's disciple. However, the Water God thinks that my comprehension is too low. He will only teach me some strategies and schemes.
Fellow Daoist, you're really lucky to be recommended by the Water God. "
Qi Yuan asked softly, "Well, why are you called Your Highness?"
"My father sits in the Lingxiao Hall and is the ruler of the Three Realms. My mother is the Immortal Chief of the Jade Pool. That's why they call me Your Highness." Long Ji sighed softly. "Actually, I don't have a clergy in the Celestial Court. I'm just an Itinerant Immortal."
The daughter of the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, personally brought him to the back door and opened the door …
Qiyuan Laodao was a little stunned.
Long Ji brought Qi Yuan and flew for a while. They flew past a few crowded immortal palaces and skipped the first few procedures. They landed in front of the Hall of Enlightenment.
The dozen or so immortals who were busy in the hall were immediately alarmed. They stood up and welcomed him.
"Your Highness, feel free to instruct me."
Long Ji took out a letter from her sleeve and said in a voice that sounded like a lark,
"This is a Qi Refinement cultivator of Ren School recommended by the Water God. He wants him to be a small god who manages a mountain. It should have been written clearly in the letter.
I'm just sending someone to deliver a letter. There's nothing else. "
The fourth-order righteous god on duty in the Hall of Enlightenment immediately stepped forward and took the letter. He opened it and read it carefully. Immediately, a look of realization appeared on his face.
He immediately looked enlightened and smiled. "Since it's the Water God's recommendation, he must be a high … high …"
Uh, a Turbid Immortal?
"A talented person with a high character!
Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, please enter and wait for a while. This Deity Position can be condensed in half a day! "
Qi Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Seniors."
"No, no!" An immortal hurriedly said, "Just call me Fellow Daoist. Don't call me Senior."
Long Ji smiled and said, "Then, Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, wait here. I'll go back and listen to Teacher's lecture!"
"Thank you for leading the way, Your Highness."
Qi Yuan bowed again. Long Ji bowed and turned around to leave the hall. She leaped onto the cloud lightly and rode it back to the Water God Residence.
There were naturally immortals who led Qi Yuan to the Hall of Enlightenment. They served him tea and immortal fruits and asked him if he had any troubles cultivating now.
After that, there was a series of operations such as "focusing" and "choosing the land". There were immortals who guided him and provided one-stop, systematic, and backdoor services …
The news about the Water God's recommendation of the immortals spread like wildfire in the Celestial Court.
Many immortals and gods came after hearing the news. They walked around the Hall of Enlightenment and looked at the Turbid Immortal that the Water God had personally recommended. Then, they left …
Half a day later, Qiyuan Laodao was in a daze. He had already completed the procedure and officially became a low-level god of the Celestial Court.
From then on, he belonged to the God of Mountains and did not rank. He governed the Duxian Gate of the East Continent, which had a radius of 5,000 kilometers. He also possessed some divine power.
Qi Yuan obtained a jade token. There was a merit negative karma scale on it. He would return to the Celestial Court to report his work every hundred years.
Apart from that, there was also a seal with a mountain engraved on it. That was his Divine Power Treasure. It was much more powerful than ordinary immortal treasures. It could be used to smash people and could also use small mountain rocks to shatter Dharma spells.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you."
Qiyuan Laodao cupped his hands and thanked him. The immortals smiled and returned the greeting. They were busy with the matters of the Celestial Court.
An immortal god sent Qi Yuan out of the Hall of Enlightenment and pointed out the cloud path to the East Heavenly Gate.
Qiyuan Laodao thanked him. Just as he was about to ride a cloud, he heard laughter from the side …
"Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, we meet again."
Dong Mu Gong, who was dressed in a brown immortal robe, rode a cloud over.
Qi Yuan could not help but be stunned. A voice transmission entered his ears.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be anxious. I'm Mu Gong, a good friend of the Water God. On the orders of the Jade Emperor, I'm here to help you cover up your tracks and send you to your position."
Qiyuan Laodao trembled.
Dong Mu Gong? The leader of the male immortals of the Celestial Court? Or was he ordered by the Jade Emperor to personally send him to his position?
The Lord Sage is above. I'm just a Turbid Immortal who went through the back door …
The back door is almost the main door!
Qiyuan Laodao reacted quickly. He knew that he had caused trouble for the "Water God" and immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Mu Gong."
Dong Mu Gong walked forward and grabbed Qi Yuan's arm. "Hahaha, we parted a few days ago. I didn't expect you to come to the Celestial Court to serve me. It's a good thing, a good thing!"
"I don't dare to trouble Mu Gong …"
"The Water God is trusted by His Majesty. He's usually much busier than me. If there's anything, you can just look for me."
Dong Mu Gong smiled and complained. The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries as if they were familiar with each other. They rode a cloud and flew to the East Heavenly Gate.
On the way, Bian Zhuang and a few Heavenly Generals were waiting. They led hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers and sent Qi Yuan to his position!
Dong Mu Gong and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals really sent Qi Yuan back to the East Continent and to a radius of 15,000 kilometers from the Duxian Gate …
After receiving Li Changshou's voice transmission, Qiyuan Laodao thanked Dong Mu Gong repeatedly and said that he did not dare to trouble him anymore.
Dong Mu Gong left a Teleportation Jade Token for Qi Yuan before letting Qiyuan Laodao return to the Mountain God's territory.
Originally, Dong Mu Gong wanted to arrange for someone to build a Mountain God Temple or something …
After bidding farewell to Mu Gong and the Heavenly Generals and Heavenly Soldiers, Qiyuan Laodao was a little drunk along the way. Under Li Changshou's guidance, he used Earth Escape to wander around for two days before returning to the Duxian Gate.
After entering the sect, Qiyuan Laodao heaved a sigh of relief. His Dao heart was in place.
He …
This …
Forget it, I'll go back and cultivate.
The Primordial World is too unfathomable!
Qiyuan Laodao pretended that nothing had happened and flew back to the Xiao Qiong Mount. He entered the four or five layers of array formations and returned to his straw hut to take a seat.
Recalling the simple trip to the Celestial Court, he could not help but have questions …
What's going on?
"Master." Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and smiled. "In the future, you can cultivate in peace. Merit will slowly increase and help you increase your lifespan."
"Hey, Changshou, are you very familiar with this Water God?"
"I am."
Qi Yuan was stunned. He felt that his Dao heart was in chaos and he had a headache.
"Master, remember. If you want to go out, inform me. Bring that jade token with you."
Qi Yuan nodded and fell into deep thought.
At the same time …
In the Hall of Marriage in the Celestial Court.
The Moon God was pacing back and forth, thinking non-stop. Soon, he made up his mind and walked to the rear hall.
Qiyuan Laodao's marriage …
I'll wait and see. If there are any signs, I'll make arrangements!
