In the south of the North Continent, there was a battle.
The battle between the Celestial Court and the demons lasted for half a day, and it was almost one-sided. The demons resisted, fled, and were chased for half a day.
Fortunately, the Celestial Court did not execute a plan to exterminate them. After that, they did not pursue the crimes of the demons who did not participate in the chaos in the North Continent. They controlled the casualties of living beings to a certain extent.
The demons could not be killed completely.
What the Celestial Court wanted to do, or rather, what Li Changshou wanted to do with the help of the Celestial Court, was to redefine the demons.
How could it be so simple to balance the Heavenly Dao?
Li Changshou not only wanted to promote his system of balancing living beings, but also the system of "human spirits, immortals, demons, and devils".
He had to start from the details and gradually accumulate to form the power to restrain the Heavenly Dao. The final goal was to use it to achieve the Dao!
His own Dao was the greatest guarantee in the future.
The battle in the miasma cloud of the North Continent twelve years ago made Li Changshou understand a lot.
"Strength" was the final deciding factor, not "position". Without that strength, he would not be able to take the opportunity steadily. Instead, it would ruin his life.
A certain ancient red thought, I keep feeling that I'm being offended by a certain junior again and again.
Now, when he was scheming, Li Changshou would ask himself if it would be beneficial to his Dao.
Killing the demons of the North Continent, severely damaging the destiny of the demons, and pulling the demons into the weak ranks of the world would be beneficial to his Dao.
Therefore, he did it without hesitation, even if he had to bear some negative karma.
After this battle, he relied purely on the merit given by killing demons to balance the slight negative karma that he had gained from ordering to kill the demons.
Back to the battle between the Celestial Court and the demons.
In fact, when Li Changshou's three axes landed, the "Righteous Heavenly Might", the "Demon-Slaying Seal", and the "Great Spirit Explosion", the demons already had no chance of winning. They no longer had the will to fight.
Under Li Changshou's command, he deliberately left an opening and allowed a large number of demon soldiers to flee towards the Aparagodānīya Continent … The overall plan of the Heavenly Soldiers was to surround the "Seven" and lack one.
Unfortunately, before these demon soldiers could even escape to Spirited Mountain, they'd already dispersed in an uproar. More than half of them were dead or injured, and they weren't able to complete the magnificent feat of dying Spirited Mountain with blood.
Li Changshou's arrangement had several layers of hidden schemes.
He wanted to force the Western Sect to make a choice.
At this moment, everyone in the world knew that the West had greatly aided the Demon Race and bewitched the Demon Race into opposing the Celestial Court.
Now that the luck of the demons had been destroyed and most of the ancient demons had been killed, if a large number of demons fled to the vicinity of the spiritual mountain, would the Western Sect kill these demons or protect them?
If the Western Sect killed those demons, the Western Sect would go bankrupt.
Although a certain Lord Sage, who was on the edge of retreating, did not care about that, the Great Tribulation had arrived. The God-Conferment Tribulation involved Chan, Jie, and the Western Sect. If the Western Sect did that, it would be difficult for them to obtain allies in the future.
If the Western Sect protected the demons, the Western Sect would be standing on the opposite side of the leader of the Great Tribulation, the Celestial Court.
Li Changshou could take the opportunity to develop the conflict between the Jade Emperor and the Western Sect to an irreconcilable extent, causing the Western Sect to suffer more calamities in the Great Tribulation!
Unfortunately, the demons were really useless.
Li Changshou had hinted to the Heavenly Generals not to chase too closely, but the demons still could not last until they reached the spiritual mountain …
With a little regret, Li Changshou looked at the spiritual mountain from afar and disappeared.
It was indeed a pity that he could not make full use of such an opportunity.
A hundred years later, the Purple Cloud Palace would sign the God roll. There would be a natural gap between the Chan School and Jie School. The Western Sect would definitely jump left and right, causing Chan School and Jie School to fall into opposition.
At that time, the relationship between the Western Sect, Chan School, and Jie School would definitely be complicated. The Ten Thousand Immortals of Jie School would definitely attract fear. The Dao Sect's framework would only exist in name.
The game between the great sects would be pushed to the peak step by step.
That would be the time to really spend effort to deal with the Western Sect.
What he had to do now was to accumulate his foundation and increase his trump cards against the Western Sect. He had to take out something from his Daoist robe at the crucial moment and turn the situation around.
In the battle between the great sects and the Saints, he had to fight steadily. If he took a wrong step, he would lose everything.
The Saints were not the disciples of the Saints who were mixed in good and bad. They were the biggest winners in the ancient times!
As he thought about that, lightning bloomed in Li Changshou's palm. His main body took the opportunity to return with Bai Ze and withdraw from the battle.
The 'Water God' paper effigy calmly flew back to the sky and reported to the Jade Emperor.
He had naturally obtained a huge victory in this battle.
More than half of the 300-odd demon kings of the demon race had died. A small half of the demon soldiers had fled, and most of the demon soldiers had been defeated by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
The Dragons had killed more demon experts than the Magi. That was because the Magi, who were good at running and not flying, could not catch up to the speed of the demons' escape.
After all, in the ancient times, two legs could not outrun a gust of wind or two wings. It was already an important factor that restricted the number of Magi in the Magi race.
When the border of the North Continent was littered with corpses, Li Changshou ordered the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to pack up the corpses of their comrades. Then, he used True Fire to burn the mountains within a 500-kilometer radius and let the ashes pile up there.
In a few decades, this place would return to green.
Green was the color of life and hope.
In front of the Nine Dragons Carriage, Li Changshou bowed and reported anxiously,
"Your Majesty! The demons have been killed. The soldiers have returned victorious! "
The Jade Emperor leaned on his sword and said calmly, "Where is Mu Gong?"
Dong Mu Gong, whose robe was stained with blood, rushed over. He cupped his hands and lowered his head. "I'm here!"
"In this battle, the soldiers of the various tribes will be rewarded according to their contributions," the Jade Emperor said calmly. "Minister Changgeng, you will be bestowed with merit. If you make another great contribution, your Deity Position will be upgraded."
Li Changshou was about to speak …
Why did he spend so much effort to destroy the demons of the North Continent?
It was all because he did not want to work in the Moon Palace!
However, just as Li Changshou opened his mouth, a golden ray of light descended from the sky and enveloped Li Changshou. Wisps of merit flowed into the Merit Pool around Li Changshou's essence soul.
The merit that he had expended to save his master's soul had returned!
However, he was just a little short of the Golden Body of Merit …
That did not matter. He only needed to go to the Netherworld later and present the reform plan of the Netherworld that he had already sorted out to the Lady of Earth.
As long as the Lady of Earth nodded, he would obtain the merit. His Golden Body of Merit would also be obtained!
"Minister Changgeng, it's been hard on you," the Jade Emperor said. "After returning to the Celestial Court, you should go to the Moon Palace as soon as possible. Don't let my words be like flowing water."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He felt that he had been schemed against.
He replied weakly, "This little deity obeys."
The Jade Emperor smiled and sighed. He stood up in front of the carriage and looked at the ashes that filled the sky below. His eyes lit up, and his figure seemed to be more majestic.
He wanted to say something. It was just like how he had praised Mu Gong and Li Changshou when he was traveling the West Ocean.
It was just like how he and Li Changshou sat on the steps and chatted about the poems and the distance when there was no one around.
However, today, as he sensed the sorrow of living beings and the grief of the world, the Jade Emperor could only sigh softly.
"Return to the Heavens."
…
"Did you see that? He will be our enemy in the future. "
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the place where the demons' ashes were dancing, two figures were standing at the edge of a cliff.
The blood-colored veil wrapped around her extremely enchanting figure. Wenjing Daoren leaned against a tree and said leisurely.
The silver-haired girl lowered her head slightly and hugged the sword in her arms tightly.
"Do you feel a little desperate?"
Wenjing Daoren muttered softly. The silver-haired girl nodded slightly.
"That's right." Wenjing Daoren's voice seemed to carry some Dharma powers that corroded the silver-haired girl's Dao heart.
"Let's go. The Great Tribulation is coming. We have to go out less. Don't cause trouble for the Lord Sage."
"Oh," the silver-haired girl replied. Before she turned around and left, she took a few more glances at the embers of the battle.
At the same time, on the Black Pool Peak.
A ripple slowly spread out from the side of the pool. Bai Ze appeared with Li Changshou on his back and slowly crawled beside the pool.
"Ah." Bai Ze sighed. When Li Changshou floated to the side, he transformed into a human.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, are you feeling a little sorry for the demons' defeat today?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Ze shook his head and said seriously,
"I'm thinking, Water God, isn't your Great Dao a little too ruthless when you fight?
Everything is balanced. You go and balance the extreme speed of the flying demons and the powerful bodies of the demons. You are about to kill a demon and even balance the injuries of the demon with the other demons.
What … What's the point of fighting? Who would fight you in a group battle? Wouldn't that be courting death? "
"Hahahaha!"
Li Changshou could not help but laugh. He waved his hand and explained,
He waved his hand and explained, "Mr. Bai, you're wrong.
If I want to balance things, I have to be within the range of my essence soul. These are just mystical abilities that extend from my Dao.
For example, when the Great Dao of Fire is close to perfection, I can directly release fire to injure others. It's just that the way I injure others is a little different.
What I used today is only the beginner version of the Art of Equalization. I have a killing move that I keep as a trump card. "
"Oh?"
Bai Ze blinked and muttered, "Is it convenient for you to reveal our relationship?"
Zhao Gongming, who was sleeping soundly in the kitchen, could not help but perk his ears.
Li Changshou smiled slightly. Since he dared to say it, he naturally had more trump cards. He was just mentioning it to Bai Ze. He had a little intention.
Li Changshou said, "If I ignore everything and ignite the power of my essence soul and prepare the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, I can balance the Great Mystical Abilities …"
Bai Ze could not help but be stunned.
Bai Ze could not help but be stunned. He carefully thought about it and was shocked.
"In that case, wouldn't you …!"
"I will not increase my cultivation level for no reason. The Great Dao has its limits. However, I will pull the other party into his realm when he was the same age as me.
Unfortunately, I have deduced that if I use this move, it will be no different from dying together. Even the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill might not be able to save my essence soul.
The implications are too great. "
Li Changshou sighed regretfully. He turned around and floated towards the Xiao Qiong Mount. He rode a cloud and flew at a height that was neither high nor low.
He sighed and said, "Useless."
"Pui!"
Bai Ze stomped his feet and used his ultimate skill at Li Changshou's back — Old Goat Spitting.
Zhao Gongming stretched and walked out. He smiled and said, "It's rare to see Brother Changgeng tell others about his mystical abilities."
"Fellow Daoist Gongming, I'm afraid you've misunderstood." Bai Ze sighed and said, "The Water God is just reminding I. In passing … Forget it, it's not convenient for me to say more.
At the end of the day, the Water God can only trust I the most. It's difficult for him to trust me completely. "
Zhao Gongming was a little puzzled. "Why?"
"That's the Water God's personality." Bai Ze smiled and said, "Only when the Water God feels that he can casually erase I will he be able to gain 90% of his trust.
Otherwise, why would I call the Water God the Water God and not Changgeng?
The mount and the chef are just not compatible. "
Zhao Gongming said, "I'm going to talk to Changgeng. How can he treat Mr. Bai like that!?!"
"Don't go, Fellow Daoist, don't go." Bai Ze hurriedly stopped Zhao Gongming and smiled in embarrassment. "To be honest, I feel the most at ease with such a Water God."
Grandpa Chao was confused. He did not know what was going on and silently distanced himself from Bai Ze.
"Mr. Bai, could it be that you …"
"Fellow Daoist, please think about what to say." Bai Ze's eyes shone with immortal light. With a bang, he transformed into his main body. The horn on his head flickered with a cold light.
Zhao Gongming chuckled, took two steps back, and sighed.
He sighed and said, "If I go to the Celestial Court, I should be a general. I really don't understand you officials.
It's good that you're happy, Mr. Bai …
Ah, I didn't say anything! Mr. Bai, don't mess around! I'm the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Jie School. I have to be shameless!
Hahahaha! "
On the Xiao Qiong Mount, Li Changshou scanned the two mighty figures who were fighting with his immortal senses and shook his head with a smile.
Grandpa Chao was really salty. Ahem, he was really free.
The Jade Emperor had already personally urged him to go to the Moon Palace to take up his post. What way should he think of to distance himself from the Moon Palace?
That matter seemed small, but it was actually very subtle.
At that moment, his greatest connection with Jie School was that Fairy Yun Xiao and he were "gradually warming up". Therefore, even if he crossed the line, the immortals of Jie School would listen.
The Jade Emperor's actions seemed to be deliberately weakening his connection with Jie School and making him stand in the position of the Celestial Court …
When the leader poured his heart out to you, it was because he wanted to put you in an important position, but he was afraid that you would jump ship.
That logic was just like when a leader talked to you about dreams. It was precisely because he did not want to give you a raise and wanted you to work more.
If the Jade Emperor turned around and said that he wanted to marry Hua Yun or Long Ji to him, the Water God, Li Changshou would not be surprised at all.
That was the decision and precautions that the Jade Emperor had to make in his position.
The matter of going to the Moon Palace seemed to be a troublemaker for the Jade Emperor, but there were more than ten layers of deeper meaning.
Li Changshou pondered carefully and decided to be steady and make some preparations.
He was currently "popular" in the Celestial Court. Once he went to the Moon Palace, he might fall into a romantic situation, especially when he had to face so many beautiful fairies who danced in front of him.
With the series of Dharma artifacts from the Aged Beauties painting, Li Changshou was naturally not afraid of that. However, he was afraid that others would think of rumors …
His thoughts had to be clear.
After he went over, he had to go against Heng 'e. At the very least, he had to spread rumors that Heng' e was sick of the Water God and that the Water God had reprimanded Heng 'e for not being disciplined.
It was actually simple to do that.
Li Changshou raised his hand and wrote a line of words on the blank paper in front of him.
"A hundred ways to cook rabbit meat."
That was naturally just to scare the Jade Rabbit. He only needed to accidentally drop that thing. Then, when he trained Chang 'e to rehearse the dance, he could barbecue and make some delicacies to relax.
Speaking of which, he was just a paper effigy. What could he do?
At most, it would affect his Dao heart.
He was the Water God of the Celestial Court and the third most powerful figure of Ren School. Why would he be afraid of those fairies?
Our actions are righteous, and we stand upright!
"Senior Brother?"
A soft voice suddenly sounded beside his ear. Li Changshou's hand trembled and he almost tore the document in front of him.
He turned to look at the jade token that was flickering on the wall beside him. He casually summoned the jade token and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I made some soup. Do you want to try it?" Ling 'e's words were filled with anticipation.
Li Changshou was speechless.
This is an emergency survival hotline! Can you be more serious!?! The use of the jade token has a lifespan!
"Send some over. My main body will go to the Pill Chamber later."
Should I mention to Ling 'e about going to the Moon Palace? After all, there would definitely be rumors spreading later. It would be good to dispel Ling 'e's doubts in advance.
As Li Changshou thought about that, he took out another piece of paper and wrote down a backup plan.
