The night was dark and windy on Xiao Qiong Mount. The fragrance of incense floated in the forest.
Ling'e, who had just received a message from her senior brother, put on a Daoist robe and hurried out of the straw hut. She held the jade token and rushed to the Pill Chamber.
However, as soon as she arrived in front of the Pill Chamber, Ling'e heard a suppressed sound …
Choking?
In a panic, she jumped out of the darkness of the forest and landed in front of the brightly lit door of the elixir room. She saw … her senior brother lying on the rocking chair with tears all over his face!
Crack!
It was as if a bolt of lightning had appeared behind Lingle. She dodged backward and stared in shock.
Why did the sky suddenly collapse?!
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Ling'e cried and knelt in front of the rocking chair. She held Li Changshou's big hand with her small hand and shouted, "Tell me if you have anything to say.
"If there's anything, just tell me. No matter what happens, we'll face it together!
Is, is it Master? Is Master hopeless?
Senior Brother, did something wrong with your cultivation?
If your Dao Fruit of Longevity is destroyed, I will accompany you to reincarnate or something! "
"Ling'e … I'm fine …"
Li Changshou answered with a trembling voice. His Adam's apple moved up and down, emitting a strong sense of sadness.
Ling'e lowered her eyelids and tears fell like broken pearls. She placed the back of her senior brother's hand on her cheek and sobbed softly, "Senior Brother, don't scare me.
"Senior Brother, don't scare me. If you're gone now, what will I do?
I can't even be considered a widow for you now. I can only guard your grave …
Ah! Senior Brother, why did you hit me!?! "
"What are you shouting for?!"
Li Changshou cursed angrily and retracted his finger that had flicked her forehead. He wiped his tears at the corner of his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"This aftereffect is too strong."
Ling'e covered her forehead and pouted. She looked at her Senior Brother and said gloomily, "I haven't seen you cry in so many years. I was worried."
"I'm not crying." Li Changshou sighed and said, "I'm just venting the emotions that have accumulated in my Dao heart."
Ling'e was confused.
Li Changshou shook his head and looked at the gloomy night sky. He tried his best to calm the sadness in his Dao heart.
He had only returned to the mountain for two hours, but he had already spent two hours in this place.
Half a day ago, when he left the Underworld, Li Changshou declined Grandpa Chao's invitation to dinner with the reason that he had to go to the Sea God Sect and the Celestial Court to deal with the follow-up matters.
The Great Daoist Master deliberately took back the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. The Great Daoist Master even specially asked Fairy Yun Xiao to send Li Changshou's main body back to the sect …
He was a good senior brother as usual.
It was rare for Li Changshou to be strong for once. He took the initiative to send Fairy Yun Xiao back to the Three-Immortal Island. He drank a cup of tea on the Three-Immortal Island and chatted for a while before embarking on his return journey alone.
On the way back, Li Changshou could not help but feel a little "insecure" because he did not have the protection of the Pagoda Master …
The path that could have taken him an hour to escape had taken him around half of the Middle Continent!
When he returned to the Xiao Qiong Mount and lay back on the comfortable rocking chair, Li Changshou sighed softly. Wisps of dark blue Dao runes floated out of his body, and a sense of sorrow emerged from his body.
Thinking about the long and drawn-out world, Du Li wept in sorrow.
Everything has an end. How can I be lonely?
Previously, it was not that Li Changshou had not been affected by Little Grief. However, he had suppressed the sadness and created an unfathomable feeling to the outside world.
Ahem, it was not because he was in front of Fairy Yun Xiao!
This kind of pure sadness and pure infectious power was not something that could be resisted by a pure Dao heart …
Ling 'e moved a meditation cushion and sat beside Li Changshou. She used her most serious and gentle voice to ask softly,
She used her most serious gentleness and asked softly, "Senior Brother, did something happen?"
"Nothing much," Li Changshou said calmly. "It's just that when I was helping the Lady of Earth suppress the Seven Emotions incarnation, I was affected by the Dao runes formed by the Seven Emotions of all living beings. I just need to vent this emotion."
Ling 'e blinked. She seemed to have heard her senior brother say something that seemed to be very impressive …
Li Changshou said, "Do you know why I called you here?"
"I know." Ling 'e sighed softly and put on a helpless expression. She turned to the side and said, "If rewarding me to copy the sutras can make Senior Brother happy, I … am willing …"
"There's no need this time. Play me some cheerful songs. I'll clear my mind."
"Hehe, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll do it now!"
Ling 'e immediately moved back and released two paper effigies to pick up the drum and the flute. She also took out a zither and played a cheerful tune.
Li Changshou smiled and closed his eyes again. When the sadness that was like a tidal wave gradually subsided, his mind began to get busy again.
The successful resolution of the Lady of Earth's Seven Emotions naturally could not do without the cooperation of the Celestial Court, the Dragon Palace, and the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools.
Li Changshou's paper effigies went on their way again. They went to the Dragon Palace to thank the Dragon King and told him about the progress of the matter. Then, they found Dong Mu Gong in the Celestial Court and discussed the matter of sending someone to the Netherworld to express their condolences.
At Dong Mu Gong's place, Li Changshou received an unexpected piece of news.
Previously, when he had gathered the power of all living beings, he had also gathered a wave of power in the trichiliocosm and rushed to the Netherworld. He had injected it into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and added a lot of help.
The source of the power of all living beings …
It was the large number of burning incense offerings that the Western Sect controlled in the trichiliocosm!
The Western Sect is helping us?
Li Changshou pondered carefully and understood the intentions of the Western Sect. There were only three reasons.
Firstly, he would give the Netherworld a favor so that it would be convenient for him to do things in the Netherworld in the future.
Secondly, he would help the Six Paths of Reincarnation at the same time as the Dao Sect. He could be considered to be working for the Heavenly Dao. Although he could not obtain merit, he could use that to save some luck.
Thirdly, he had to be righteous.
"Righteousness" seemed to be a joke in the cruel environment of the Primordial World.
Before the Dao Ancestor reached the Dao Integration and the six Saints appeared, that was indeed the case. In the ancient times, it was purely about who had the bigger fist. The so-called righteousness was just a cover for the strong.
However, after the Dao Ancestor reached the Dao Integration and the six Saints appeared, the sky of the Primordial World was set. Background and background became more important than strength.
The existence of the six Saints set the basic order of the Primordial World.
The existence of the Heavenly Dao made the word "righteousness" even more important.
The Western Sect had helped this time because they wanted to occupy the word "righteousness" and "correct" themselves. They wanted to show the responsibility of the Primordial World Sect and continue to compete with the Dao Sect on the same level.
It was probably "The Western Sect is not the villain of the Primordial World. We are in a competitive relationship with the Dao Sect. We have our own standpoints."
Did the Saint give the order, or did Ksitigarbha or the other disciples of the Saint take the initiative to mention it?
Li Changshou pondered for a while. Naturally, there was no answer to that question. He smiled and did not think too much about it.
Yes, I should think about how to help the Netherworld in the future and earn more merit.
This time, when he helped the Lady of Earth, the Heavenly Dao had given him a huge amount of merit and distributed it to the nine immortals of the Dao Sect. Li Changshou was the most important person who had contributed the most. He naturally obtained the most merit.
However, just as the Great Daoist Master had reminded him previously …
If the merit of this matter was distributed to the experts of the Dao Sect who had come to help, Li Changshou would naturally receive less.
There was nothing he could do about that. Since it concerned the Lady of Earth, Li Changshou naturally wanted to be stable.
The Golden Body of Merit was almost 90% built!
However, 90% of it was still "material".
Pure merit was not of much use apart from counteracting negative karma. Only a complete Golden Body of Merit could produce the effect of the Heavenly Dao's protection.
Of course, Li Changshou's thoughts had never changed.
He did not want the Golden Body of Merit to rely on it to protect his life.
With the protection of the Golden Body of Merit, his safety would increase by at least 30% in dangerous situations that did not involve Saints.
In dangerous situations that involved Saints, he could also use the Golden Body of Merit to make the Saints … hesitate.
That was a chance of survival!
Li Changshou had long prepared the cultivation technique for the Golden Body of Merit. He had also thought of modifying it, but he could not find a suitable idea.
At that moment, the missing part of his Golden Body of Merit was a calf and a foot.
Then, can I get a smaller "leg"?
Golden Body of Merit? Heavenly Leg?
"Hahaha!"
Such a scene surfaced in Li Changshou's heart and he could not help but laugh.
Ling 'e stopped playing the zither and said happily, "Senior Brother, are you alright?"
"Ah, my Dao heart is fine." Li Changshou stretched his arm and looked at Ling 'e in front of him. He could not help but fall into deep thought.
Ling 'e blushed and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Ling 'e, how long have you been cultivating?"
How long have I been cultivating?
Could it be that Senior Brother … is going to attack me?
The flower of the family is finally going to stand out and bear fruit. Our relationship as fellow disciples can also break through?
Dong!
Ling 'e's heartbeat suddenly increased, and her face turned red. She stammered and could not say a complete sentence. She skipped over the reservedness and uneasiness of a young girl and said the words that she had prepared for many years.
"I, I … I'm ready …"
"Oh?"
Li Changshou's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "You can actually guess my thoughts. After your cultivation level is high, your intelligence will gradually increase.
Then, it's decided. Twelve years later, we'll go down the mountain and travel.
It's time for you to face the Primordial World. "
"Huh?"
Ling 'e was stunned. Li Changshou chuckled and turned into a wisp of green smoke, disappearing from the Pill Chamber.
…
Where can I make up for the lack of merit?
Although eliminating demons was a relatively stable option, if he suddenly put too much pressure on the demons, it would easily cause the demons to retaliate violently.
He still had to use Daoist Lu Ya as the core of his plan and use his identity as the Crown Prince of the Demon Court to attract more negative karma demons.
The most ideal plan was actually to let the demons take the initiative to pressure the Celestial Court and raise their flags to rebel. Then, it would be logical and reasonable for him to reap the merit.
The current strength and heritage of the demons were naturally far inferior to the entire human race.
However, compared to the Celestial Court, which had just been established, they could not be underestimated.
Li Changshou counted the matters that he had to deal with in the next few decades.
The Celestial Court was recruiting troops, completing the reincarnation process, targeting Lu Ya, secretly protecting the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and letting his junior sister understand the dangers of the world …
In principle, he would not take the initiative to plot against those things.
The timing of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation had already appeared in the South Continent. There was also Big Sister Kong Xuan, ahem, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan's protection.
Li Changshou only needed to take his time and prepare according to his own pace. There was no need to be anxious.
The higher-ups and anxiety were the greatest enemies of stability!
Next, he would first talk to Junior Sister Youqin and see how far she had cultivated. Before she went to the Celestial Court, he would try his best to raise her cultivation level to the Heaven Immortal realm.
Yes … he still had to arrange a show to let Youqin and the Water God of the Celestial Court "officially become friends". That way, he would give her a strong background.
After all, she was going to the Celestial Court to help his junior sister. Naturally, he could not treat her badly.
"Senior … Senior, are you there?"
"Huh?"
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. Most of his attention landed on the paper effigy hiding at the border between the South Continent and the East Continent. His immortal senses spread out and he stared at the Cave Abode of the black leopard couple.
The water demon Miao Miao was pacing back and forth in front of the cave. She was still holding the communication jade token that Li Changshou had given her previously.
What's going on?
Li Changshou's paper effigy stood up and checked his appearance. After confirming that it was Lao Dao's appearance that he had been showing to the black leopard couple, he rode a cloud and rushed over.
His immortal senses captured that the black leopard was sleeping soundly on a stone table in the cave. There were two jars of immortal wine around him. Clearly, his wife had made him drunk.
This situation, this scene …
If the black leopard saw this, he would definitely think that there was something going on between him, Lao Dao, and the water demon Miao Miao!
When he arrived in front of the cave, Li Changshou asked with a straight face,
"Why are you in a hurry to look for I? Why did you get your husband drunk? "
The water demon lowered her head and bowed.
"In the past few days, my husband has been thinking about the immortals of Jie School. He even said that he wanted to go to Golden Ao Island.
I asked him what was wrong. He said that he had been missing his old friends on Golden Ao Island recently and wanted to visit them.
Golden Ao Island is the Dao venue of Jie School. There are many experts there. We are just two little demons. How can we dare to visit them? If we offend any expert, wouldn't it be a fatal disaster?
Senior, can you persuade my husband? "
"It's fine." Li Changshou pondered for a while and frowned. "If he wants to go over, just go."
The water demon frowned and asked softly, "Is … is that fine?"
"Of course it's fine." Li Changshou looked a little impatient. "You and he are husband and wife. This matter should be discussed between the two of you. I did not lock you here.
I just feel that Fellow Daoist Black Leopard's mouth is an extremely important ability for the demons. Therefore, I have taken care of you.
The immortals on Golden Ao Island are reasonable and their words are pleasant to hear. If your husband did not lie to you, you might obtain some benefits on Golden Ao Island.
Don't feel inferior because of your status as a demon. Although the demons are not good now, they were once glorious in ancient times. "
The water demon could not help but feel uneasy. She whispered, "If he goes, I won't go over anyway …"
"This is a matter between you and your husband." Li Changshou waved his hand. "I still have something important to do. I won't stay here for long.
Such a small matter. Hmph. "
After saying that, Li Changshou rode a cloud and left. The water demon wanted to say something but hesitated. However, she could only bow and send him off.
After sighing softly, the water demon turned around and returned to the Cave Abode. She carried the black leopard to the bed and activated the array formation protecting the Cave Abode.
The black leopard is going to Golden Ao Island to visit a friend?
What kind of chain reaction would this cause to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and had a vague premonition. He felt that the black leopard would definitely be able to stir up the Primordial World.
However, he could take the opportunity to deal with Lu Ya …
Li Changshou's thoughts kept expanding and he gradually smiled.
…
Three days later, the black leopard really set off from the Cave Abode. He hid all the way to the East Ocean and headed towards Golden Ao Island at the edge of the East Ocean.
As soon as the black leopard moved, the Celestial Court issued a demon-seeking declaration to the five continents to hunt down Daoist Lu Ya, a remnant of the Ancient Demon Court.
The reason was also written in the declaration. It said that Daoist Lu Ya had a Dharma treasure that threatened the balance of the world and that he needed to capture Lu Ya as soon as possible …
Once the declaration was issued, the human immortal sects of the Middle Continent did not react much. They almost ignored it.
Although the Celestial Court had begun to rise, its influence and appeal were still lacking. It had yet to become the ruler of the Three Realms.
However, when the demons heard that, they first cursed the Celestial Court before capturing the main point.
Daoist Lu Ya, a treasure that threatened the balance of the world!
How could that be?
Many experts of the demon race instantly felt pressured. The demons in the territories of the demons at the borders of the various continents rejoiced. The ancient demons who had just settled down for a short while came out and waited for the Crown Prince to raise his arm!
And when the person in question received the news a little later, his entire head … was dumbfounded.
