Although they had a bad start and were tricked by the Dragon Palace at the very beginning, the people at the Duxian Gate became more cautious because of that.
Li Changshou was slightly gratified by that, but he did not let his guard down at all.
There were more and more people around him. Li Changshou was slightly uncomfortable with such an environment, especially when there were strangers in several directions. He had to constantly pay attention to any movements around him.
He secretly cast the Wind Speech Incantation.
Wherever the breeze passed, it would bring a wisp of information to Li Changshou, and he would methodically process the information in his mind.
When he used his spiritual senses to investigate others, it was equivalent to using his eyes to look at them. If the latter was more alert, they would be able to sense it.
This was considered 'active detection'.
When he used the Wind Speech Incantation, apart from sending a voice transmission to the person he locked onto with his spiritual senses, he could also automatically receive information from his surroundings.
This was called 'passive detection' by Li Changshou. The advantage was that it would not consume the power of one's soul, but the disadvantage was that all kinds of information would surge in, and he would need to constantly analyze it.
Li Changshou had consciously trained his observation skills, perseverance, and concentration a long time ago.
If it were other Dao Requital cultivators of the same realm as him, they would probably be distracted after a few hours and relax their monitoring of their surroundings.
When Li Changshou used the Wind Speech Incantation to monitor his surroundings, he could already do it for hundreds of hours without stopping!
Although …
It was indeed somewhat sad to accidentally turn a good cultivator's life into a 'human-shaped monitoring machine' …
But at least he could feel more at ease.
Because he was using the Wind Speech Incantation to monitor his surroundings, Li Changshou could also hear the laughter of many cultivators and hear many interesting things from them.
Most of the Perfected Immortals' discussions revolved around the conference and the main platform where the Heaven Immortals gathered.
Most of the Perfected Immortals were concerned about the agreement they would reach with the Dragon Palace, how the borders of the East Ocean would be divided, and whether the human cultivators would be troubled by the Dragons when they came to the East Ocean in the future.
The topic of discussion among the young disciples would always be the 'Heavenly Tribulation'.
Most Qi Practitioners were afraid of the Heavenly Tribulation because it was extremely dangerous and it was a trial that no one could avoid.
Of course, if he stopped cultivating, or if he was stuck at a bottleneck in the Qi Refinement, Deity Returning, Void Returning, and Dao Requital realms, he wouldn't have to face the Heavenly Tribulation.
Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators in the Duxian Gate had a chance to face the Heavenly Tribulation as long as they did not suffer from Qi Deviation.
This was because the Duxian Gate was considered a famous Celestial Sect in the East Continent. It was very difficult for ordinary humans to enter. Moreover, the Duxian Gate had a complete Dao inheritance, brilliant cultivation methods, a sound internal system, and excellent welfare.
That might not be the case for other immortal sects.
In the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm, 90% of the human race did not have the potential to cultivate to become immortals, and 95% of the human race were mortals.
Among the Qi Refinement cultivators, about 90% of them would not be able to reach the Immortal Ascension Heavenly Tribulation due to their limited aptitude and incomplete cultivation techniques.
Only ten to twenty percent of them could survive the Immortal Ascension Tribulation …
It seemed that there weren't that many human immortals.
In fact, the number of immortals in the human race had already crushed the total number of immortals from the two races when the Magi and demons were at their peak!
It couldn't be helped. The human race was too good at reproduction … Ahem, there were too many humans.
Li Changshou had read many ancient books and concluded that there were three reasons why the human race could rise quickly in the later stages of the Great Magi-Demon War and defeat the Magi and demons.
Firstly, the Connate Dao Body that Goddess Nuwa had bestowed.
Secondly, the speed of reproduction and the strong adaptability to the environment.
Thirdly, the cohesiveness and cohesion of the human race's ancestors.
Li Changshou did not really believe in the argument that the Heavenly Dao would prosper the human race.
How could the selfless Heavenly Dao favor any race?
The Heavenly Dao deduced the changes in everything in the world and had long predicted that the human race would prosper. It was more like a "prophecy" and not a destiny for the human race.
The saying that the human race relied on the three Dao Sects to prosper was even more ridiculous.
After the human race rose in power, the three ancestors of the Dao Sect had used the destiny of the human race to prove their Dao and established the three sects, obtaining endless merit.
Although it was a mistake for a disciple of the Dao Sect to make such an evaluation, Li Changshou had always felt that the three Lord Sage of the Dao Sect had benefited from the human race, but they had never done much for the human race.
The Ren School was named after the human race, but the Taiqing Master had only accepted the first-generation Master Xuandu as his disciple. The Patriarch of the Duxian Sect, Perfected Du 'e, had an unknown background. He should not be a human, nor was he a true disciple of the Taiqing Sect.
Lao Tzu of the Taiqing Sect had yet to go to the mortal world of the human race to pass down the Dao De Ching.
That also made Li Changshou not dare to comprehend the classic chapters of the Dao De Ching that he had memorized!
Chan School was not bad. The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning had accepted many first-generation humans as disciples. Those disciples of Chan School had established sects in the Middle Continent and promoted cultivation techniques among the human Qi Refinement cultivators.
On the other hand, Jie School was a little too much …
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch had taken the destiny of the human race to subsidize the other races. There were not many human disciples under him. That was quite unethical.
The relationship between the human race and the Three Sects of the Dao Sect was that the former was the foundation of the latter, while the latter was just icing on the cake for the former. It was just an insurance for the prosperity of the human race.
The Primordial World was filled with schemes.
The big shots who had truly contributed to the rise of the human race were either living a leisurely retired life in the Fire Cloud Cave or had already reincarnated.
If he said those thoughts, he would definitely be criticized as "deviant". Li Changshou only thought about it casually in his heart and would not tell anyone about those theories.
For example, when he was educating Ling 'e, Li Changshou only taught her how to avoid karma and how to escape in an emergency. He also taught her to take responsibility for her actions. If anything happened, she could not implicate her senior brother's outstanding character of being righteous …
Ling 'e's aptitude was actually very good. She had the potential to become an immortal seedling. She was also considered diligent.
Li Changshou had always felt that the physique of immortal cultivation might be a recessive inheritance.
Eighty generations of ancestors were mortals, but it was also possible for there to be outstanding immortal cultivation geniuses. Ling 'e was such a situation.
Li Changshou stayed quietly for a while and heard another interesting topic …
The success rate of human Qi Refinement cultivators during the Tribulation Transcendence was different.
This couldn't be generalized. Different Dao Inheritances had vastly different success rates for their disciples to pass the tribulation.
For the Qi Refinement cultivators who did not belong to the Three Sects, only one out of ten people could survive the Tribulation Transcendence without superior cultivation techniques and the protection of the Three Sects.
As long as the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Three Sects did not make any mistakes, the survival rate of the Chan School and Ren School could reach 50% or even 60%.
It was worth mentioning that the average survival rate of the Heavenly Tribulation of the Three Sects could barely reach 30%. That was because that number had been greatly reduced by Jie School.
Chan School followed the principle of 'selecting the best to enter the sect'. Their disciples had a higher rate of Immortal Ascension, and the number of Dao inheritors was in the middle.
Ren School followed the principle of 'following fate'. Their disciples had a moderate rate of Immortal Ascension. However, the Sage of Taiqing did not like to accept disciples. Therefore, there were very few Dao inheritors.
Jie School followed the principle of 'teaching without discrimination'. Their disciples were a mix of humans, demons, and spirits. Their survival rate depended on fate. Immortal Ascension depended on one's looks. Moreover, the Dao inheritors were very widely distributed in the Three Thousand Worlds …
As a result, no matter how brilliant the Dao techniques of the Three Sects were, how prosperous the light from providence was, and how the Lord Sage's Connate cardinal treasure could suppress the light from providence, they could not completely pull up the Immortal Ascension rate.
Moreover, the Lord Sage, the Tongtian Hierarch, did not have a cardinal treasure that could suppress the light from providence. What he controlled was the Immortal-Vanquishing Four Swords, which were murderous weapons.
Therefore, Li Changshou had always been extremely grateful to his master for bringing him into Ren School.
"Little Changshou, come over here."
Aunt-Master Jiujiu suddenly sent a voice transmission. Li Changshou immediately diverted some of his attention to look at Aunt-Master Jiu, who was waving at him.
Li Changshou shook his head slightly at his Aunt-Master, indicating that he did not want to move.
Jiujiu glared at him, her gaze full of threats.
Li Changshou pretended not to see anything. He continued to close his eyes and rest, maintaining the Wind Speech Incantation.
Not long after, Jiujiu walked over with a smile and sat behind Li Changshou's short table.
Jiujiu asked softly, "Disciple-Nephew Changshou, did you bring your good stuff here?"
"No," Li Changshou replied. "That is a reserved item for Xiao Qiong Mount. It means that it cannot be taken out of Xiao Qiong Mount."
Jiujiu's face immediately fell. However, she still maintained her dignified sitting posture and complained, "It's so boring.
This kind of task is the most torturous. I still have to wait here for two or three days before the meeting officially starts …
Master is up there. I can't even escape even if I want to. "
Li Changshou smiled slightly and thought about how to get Little Aunt-Master to return to her seat as soon as possible.
It was not good to attract so much attention.
He took out a wooden six-color Rubik's cube from his sleeve. Li Changshou held it in his hand and slid it gently. The finely polished cube felt good when he slid it. Very soon, it attracted Jiujiu's attention …
"What is this?"
Li Changshou stopped what he was doing and displayed the messy colors of the Rubik's cube. Then, his hands moved quickly and in less than two breaths, he restored the Rubik's cube.
Jiujiu's eyes lit up.
Li Changshou messed up the Rubik's cube again and placed it beside him. He sent a voice transmission. "Don't give it to anyone else."
"Yes, don't worry. I know all your rules!"
Jiujiu immediately agreed. She picked up the Rubik's cube and lowered her head to try it out. Very soon, she was focused on it. She slowly got up and walked back to her short table.
Finally, she calmed down again.
Li Changshou continued to transform into a human-shaped monitor that no one paid attention to as he waited for the Demon-Sweeping Meet to end.
Half a day later, almost all the immortal sects that were supposed to attend the banquet had arrived. The water lotus platform was filled with handsome men and beautiful women. If one had nothing better to do and took a few glances, it would be rather pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and a white cloud floated in the sky. Dozens of "sea people" dressed in purple and red robes were sitting on it. It was a large-scale marine orchestra sent by the Dragon Palace.
They saw:
Clam girls playing the zither with pearls in their eyes. Mermaids singing softly. Guests were moved.
In the Flood Dragon Cave, the Flute Shrimp beat the drum. Turtle Immortal blew the horn and the crab opened the gong.
Below, there were also sea women with graceful figures. They were dressed in light, revealing dresses, and they danced gracefully in the spacious venue.
Their dancing postures were graceful, and they waved their sleeves, scattering fragrance.
The two-day large-scale Dragon Palace Cultural Joint Performance had officially begun …
Li Changshou wasn't distracted by this. However, the chatter around him had decreased by more than half. Most people were watching the singing and dancing in the venue. The information that he needed to process had also decreased by a lot.
It would be great if the next few days were as peaceful as this.
Li Changshou prayed in his heart as he analyzed the troubles that he might encounter.
The sparring should have nothing to do with him. In everyone's eyes, he was only at the Second Stage of Void Return. He couldn't be of much use in such an occasion.
In that case, there shouldn't be anything related to the young disciples.
Except …
Eh? Toxic Junior Martial Sister stood up. She was even carrying her prayer mat and carrying her huge sword as she walked in his direction.
This …
There was no enmity between them. Why did she have to be so overbearing?
Youqin Genya had just taken two steps when Li Changshou's helpless voice transmission reached her ears.
"Sorry, Junior Martial Sister Youqin. I want to rest alone."
It's better to reject her. Don't let her have any thoughts.
Youqin Genya, who was twenty feet away, was slightly stunned. She raised her head and looked at Li Changshou. The prayer mat in her hand had already been placed beside a female Perfected Immortal.
The female Perfected Immortal even said with a smile, "Come, Little Ya. What do you think of a song that Aunt-Master wrote recently?"
"Yes, Aunt-Master …
Senior Martial Brother Changshou, are you not feeling well? "
Youqin Genya asked softly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with concern.
Li Changshou shook his head calmly. He made a gesture of invitation and closed his eyes to rest with a smile.
It's a little awkward …
However, this Junior Martial Sister didn't come over to help him attract the attention of others. This was a good thing.
Li Changshou had already sensed that since Toxic Junior Martial Sister stood up, there were many gazes focused on the Duxian Gate.
Although they were all Qi Refinement cultivators, Youqin Genya's temperament, appearance, and figure were too outstanding. It was difficult for her not to attract the attention of others.
If anyone wanted to marry her, it would be more reassuring to feed her fatter.
This was a suggestion from her Senior Martial Brother Li Changshou.
