I've been out for a few days. Everything should be fine in the mountains.
On the way back to the Duxian Gate, Li Changshou pondered.
His master should still be drinking on the other peaks. He had also instructed his junior sister to cultivate in seclusion.
The most troublesome situation would be if someone went to the Xiao Qiong Mount and accidentally broke into the array formation around the Pill Chamber. Although the trapping array and the maze array did not have any direct lethality, staying in it for a long time would easily cause one's state of mind to be unbalanced and give rise to mental demons …
However, after almost driving Jiu Wu crazy the last time, Li Changshou also made some small changes to the chain array formation.
He left a way to 'entertain guests'.
If the intruder was an outsider, it would not be a problem to drive him crazy and kill him directly. However, there was a mountain-protecting array formation in the immortal sect. How could an outsider sneak in normally?
Under normal circumstances, those who barged into the formation should be fellow disciples of the same sect who had come with a strange purpose. Killing them or driving them crazy would not be appropriate.
Therefore, Li Changshou set up some guide signs on a 'dead end' road to lead the intruder to a comfortable and warm environment, temporarily stabilizing the other party.
That way, he could avoid the subsequent awkwardness and prevent the other party from wandering around. He would also have plenty of time to make other arrangements.
Moreover, if a Perfected Immortal was trapped and the other party kept attacking the surroundings, it might trigger the hidden killing array …
Whether the intruder died or got injured had nothing to do with him. If the sect blamed him for violating the rules and building the array formation, it would be really troublesome.
The purpose of the array formation on the surface was to prevent others from approaching the Pill Chamber. Setting up a 'guest room' in the array formation could properly solve the two more critical problems.
That was also a necessary measure that Li Changshou had taken after careful consideration.
Moreover …
He had also borrowed his master's name and imitated the handwriting on the guide wooden sign.
After all, his master was the Peak Master, and he was only the eldest disciple of the Xiao Qiong Mount.
'I'm finally going back.'
Li Changshou's gaze swept across the mountains in the distance, calculating the time left to return.
After returning, he would continue to suppress his cultivation level and cultivate the True Samadhi Flames.
At the current small realm, if he were to risk his life to suppress the speed of his natural breakthrough, he should be able to suppress it for about two years.
Two years was barely enough for him to cultivate the True Samadhi Flames to the rudimentary stage.
And the next time he went out, it would be the official tribulation.
Speaking of which, how could he explain to his Master the Pill Room and the Chain Array around it? If his master asked him how he set up this Chain Formation, should he reveal a little of his hidden strength to his master?
He naturally trusted his master, but if his master were to spill the truth after getting drunk …
Forget it, Master and Junior Sister are the people closest to me, so the 'authority' and treatment they receive here should be equal as well.
When he returned, he would look for his master to have a chat and let his master understand him to the extent that Little Junior Sister knew about him.
As they approached the mountain gate, the night breeze was surprisingly warm.
…
By the time he returned to the Duxian Gate, it was already midnight with a bright moon and sparse stars.
Everyone dispersed in front of the Bai Fan Hall. Li Changshou also said goodbye to Martial Uncle Jiujiu and flew to the Xiao Qiong Mount on a cloud.
Youqin Genya obviously wanted to look for Li Changshou to say a few words, but as soon as she landed, she was called to the Bai Fan Hall by several Martial Uncles. There was no chance for her to escape.
Li Changshou floated away without attracting their attention. It was said that people were in high spirits when they met with happy events. He had gained a lot in the past few days.
However, when Li Changshou recalled his trip to the East Sea, his face quickly darkened …
He was still not sure why the Dragon Crown Prince had chosen him to fight the array that day.
In case he encountered Ao Yi who did not play by the rules in the future, he had to stay away from the ancient nobles.
It was quiet on the Xiao Qiong Mount. Li Changshou noticed from afar that his Junior Sister and his master were not in their respective huts. He scanned the array with his spiritual senses and saw his master and Junior Sister trapped at the edge of the array …
'What?
How did they get trapped together? '
His master had been in seclusion and did not know about the array behind him. Ling'E was a spectator during the construction. How did they get in together?
'Could it be that they thought the scenery was good, so they went in together to drink tea and watch the stars?'
Li Changshou floated over on a cloud. He was not in a hurry to release the two of them. Instead, he checked the inside and outside of the array before taking out the jade token that controlled the array to close the outer trapping array.
A gentle breeze blew, and the white fog in the forest dissipated. The originally dense forest also lost some trees.
Ling'E immediately cheered. "Master! Senior Brother is back! "
Qiyuan Laodao was shocked. He was about to get up when he thought of something. He sat down firmly, put on a straight face, and picked up the horsetail whisk!
"Ahem! You bastard … You're good, Li Changshou! Come over and accept your punishment! "
Li Changshou, who was floating in the air, blinked and smelled something unusual …
As soon as he landed, his master swung the horsetail whisk over.
After advancing to the Turbid Immortal realm, Qiyuan Laodao's strength had really increased by leaps and bounds. In the blink of an eye, the horsetail whisk turned into a white net that filled the sky. If not for Li Changshou's endurance, he would have instinctively dragged him away!
The white net landed, and Li Changshou was tied up tightly by the horsetail whisk.
Ling'E, who was at the side, immediately pounced on him like a hungry tiger. Li Changshou was pushed down by her junior …
There were a few miserable howls and laughter in the forest.
However, the "lesson" for her senior brother this time was not as intense as Ling'E had imagined.
Her senior brother, who did not resist at all, and her master, who was watching the entire battle from the side, made her feel a little helpless.
She was only her junior sister. If her master did not demonstrate, she could not really hit her senior brother …
When she looked up, Ling'E suddenly saw her senior brother's warning gaze.
"Hmph!"
She made up her mind, raised her hand, and slammed it down fiercely. However, she stopped just as she was about to touch it …
In the end, her slender hand only landed on the spot where her senior brother had been hit by her master a few times. She recalled how her master had hit that spot a few times, and could not help but gently …
She rubbed it.
"Uh, Ling'E has indeed grown up."
Li Changshou looked gratified, but there was also a hint of helplessness in his gratification.
"Girls have to be reserved.
Coveting is one thing, and having a fetish is another. It's not that I don't understand you. After all, you're already of age.
However, as a Qi Refinement cultivator, you still have to restrain the impulse in your heart. What if mental demons arise because of that? Don't you think so? "
"No! I'm just! "
Ling'E's face instantly turned red. She looked at her master in a panic, only to realize that her master was also frowning at her. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he hesitated and looked awkward.
"I was just … Stupid Senior Brother! You're bullying me! Ahhh! "
"A gentleman doesn't use his mouth. Why are you being so vicious?"
"Hmph! I can't beat you in words, but I can't beat you! "
"Master, if you don't control Junior Sister, how can she get married in the future?"
"It's none of your business! I'll die of old age on Xiao Qiong Mount! "
In the forest, Qiyuan Laodao had already turned around and left. Lao Dao had a slight smile on his face as he slowly floated back to his straw hut.
Not long after, Li Changshou walked out of the forest with his head full of grass and his clothes disheveled. He looked at the teeth marks on his arm and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Junior Sister's zodiac was a rabbit.
Behind him, Ling'E's face was red, but she pretended to look at the starry sky as if nothing had happened.
When they arrived in front of the straw hut, Qiyuan Laodao sent a voice transmission to the two of them.
"From today onwards, I will be in seclusion to comprehend the cultivation technique of a Turbid Immortal. Everything on Xiao Qiong Mount will be taken care of by Changshou. If there's anything important, you can come and discuss it with me at any time.
Ling'E, you have to pay attention to your words and actions. You have to be respectful to your Senior Brother. "
Lan Ling'E immediately said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Yes, yes, Master …"
Then, layers of array formations lit up around Qiyuan Laodao's straw hut, isolating it from the outside world.
Li Changshou turned around with a meaningful look in his eyes. "Have you told Master?"
Lan Ling'E instantly understood and stammered, "This, um … this … a little bit …"
"Is it a little bit, or a little bit?"
"It must be a little bit!"
Li Changshou put on a straight face. "Go into the hut."
Lan Ling'E's body trembled slightly, and her little face immediately collapsed. She instantly switched to a sobbing mode. After entering her straw hut, she moved the cushion, put her legs together, knelt down, lowered her head, and pretended to cry in one go.
After casually activating the surrounding array formations, Li Changshou said calmly, "Tell me, what did you tell Master?"
"Senior Brother, actually, Master forced me …"
Li Changshou was speechless. If others heard this, they might think that there was some kind of human tragedy on Xiao Qiong Mount.
'Speaking of which, should I add the option of Master's wife in Master's old age plan?
'I can consider that.'
As for the information that Little Junior Sister had revealed to Master in a roundabout manner, Li Changshou did not care much.
After all, Little Junior Sister's knowledge was limited.
Based on his understanding of Little Ling'E's character, he had long had a premonition about today's situation.
…
In the dead of the night, the array formations around the Pill Chamber were completely activated. Li Changshou opened the Pill Furnace and casually refined a furnace of pills. He asked the paper effigy avatar to guard it while his real body appeared in the secret underground chamber.
It was stable.
He took out the three jade tokens and played with them for a while. He put away the Lightning Dharma and the Inaction Sutra and forcefully imprinted the True Samadhi Flames cultivation technique in his mind. Then, he sat there in a daze.
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation …
Although secretly cultivating to the Gold God of the Zenith Heaven in the immortal sect was the most ideal state, that would require a long period of accumulation.
As the Immortal Sect of the Three Schools, the Duxian Gate was very likely to be affected by the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was not just a single plot of the South Continent's mortal world, the King of Martial Arts. It should involve the Three Realms and target the disciples of the three sects.
The stronger the Middle Continent was, the more tragic the destruction it would be during the Great Tribulation. The immortal sects of the East Continent would probably not be able to escape the calamity.
However, it was not that Li Changshou did not have a way to avoid the calamity.
It was very simple. He would go ashore in advance.
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was actually the process in which the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court established the authority to rule the world. The nominal reason was also because the Jade Emperor, Hao Tian, had gone to the Dao Ancestor to complain, saying that the disciples of the three sects were rude and powerful and did not respect the orders of the Celestial Court. He was the ruler of the Three Realms in name, and he did not have the dignity of a man. He could not even raise his head in front of his junior sister, the Queen Mother.
Ahem, I've gone off topic.
From the outcome of the God-Conferment Tribulation, the disciples of the three sects entered the Celestial Court to become gods. The Saints no longer took the initiative to appear in the world, laying the foundation for the Celestial Court to manage the Three Realms.
In that case, as long as he sneaked into the Celestial Court in advance and became an elder during the difficult times of the Celestial Court, he would not have to be a high-ranking official. He could hide his cultivation level and become a low-ranking official so that he could be listed in the immortal records of the Celestial Court.
If the Great God-Conferment Tribulation descended, he would have long been listed as an immortal in the Celestial Court. He would have nothing to do with the tribulation. How could the God-Conferment Tribulation land on him again?
Should I seal the immortals of the Celestial Court again? That did not make sense.
When the immortals of the God-Conferment Tribulation went to the Celestial Court to be appointed, the Celestial Court would be filled with talents. At that time, he could go with the flow and take the opportunity to retire. Not only could he obtain the qualifications of an elder of the Celestial Court, but he could also return to the mountain to continue cultivating peacefully.
Why not?
Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table and carefully thought about the specific plan.
He had to obtain the immortal records of the Celestial Court before the Jade Emperor went to complain to the Dao Ancestor. There should still be plenty of time. It was a crucial step for his master to become the Earth Lord. It could save him a lot of scheming.
It depended on whether his master was willing.
Although the land was small and there were many of them, he was still a righteous god …
Perhaps the Earth Lord could find a … Earth Lady.
