Above the Reincarnation Pagoda, the benevolent Lao Dao, who appeared later, was surrounded by rays of light. He was just sitting on the cloud, as if he had merged with the world and was not tainted by any dust or dirt.
Below the pagoda …
The dozens of disciples of the Western Sect collected more than ten corpses and placed them there. At that moment, all of them looked angry and glared at Li Changshou and the others.
Saint Jie Yin opened his left hand. Seven to eight weak rays of light flew into his palm and protected the essence souls of the disciples of the Western Sect.
However, six disciples of the Western Sect had already shattered their essence souls and dispersed their souls.
The Cosmic Array that had temporarily trapped Kong Xuan was broken by the Five-colored Divine Light because there was no expert guarding it.
Kong Xuan flew out and looked at Saint Jie Yin warily. He landed behind Li Changshou.
After a while, Saint Jie Yin did not speak. His voice spread everywhere.
"Why are you causing trouble here?"
An old Daoist priest from the Western Sect shouted, "Teacher, please help us! These disciples of the Dao Sect are unreasonable. They killed all the junior brothers without asking for the reason! "
"Huh?"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned. She was about to reappear with her Battle Dharma Body when Daoist Duobao raised his hand to stop her.
Li Changshou turned his head slightly and gestured to the Goddess of Golden Spirit with his eyes …
Next, it was time for everyone to take out their chips and reveal their bottom lines to discuss the matter there.
As long as the six Saints did not really fight and did not fight to the death, the chess table would not be overturned.
Lao Dao of the Western Sect was aggrieved. He complained in front of the Saint who was receiving him, but the Saint was expressionless.
Fairy Yun Xiao sent a voice transmission.
"If this Uncle-Master causes trouble later and Master is not here, should we do our best to resist?"
Li Changshou frowned and pondered.
"Don't worry. Second Uncle-Master should have already arrived. If we don't appear now, we'll see how far we can negotiate with the Western Sect."
"Yes," Yun Xiao reminded. "This is a game between Saints. You have already been too involved. You have to be more vigilant. Don't anger the Saint."
Anger the Saint …
To him, it was actually quite difficult.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He could not help but recall the passionate, comfortable, and joyful conversation he had with his Taiqing teacher in the Taiqing Temple.
"The Western Sect only needs to care about receiving them. There is no need to worry about anything else."
"Yes, disciple obeys."
"His Dao is different from ours."
After that, there will be half a month of silent rest.]
What Teacher Taiqing meant was that apart from receiving the Saint, he, his second disciple, had to be responsible for everything else regarding the Western Sect …
After waiting for a while, the disciples of the Western Sect stopped crying.
Streams of light flew over from the sky. They were the disciples of the Western Sect who had chased after Perfected Taiyi previously.
At this moment, they had already calmed down and rushed to the front of the pagoda to greet the Saint. Then, they glared into the distance.
There, a Daoist dressed in a fiery red robe slowly walked over. He had a handsome face and a long aura. He was stepping on two fire wheels, and there was nothing unusual about him.
When he landed behind Li Changshou and the others, just as he was about to speak, his aura suddenly changed. He rolled his eyes and lay on the cloud!
Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming looked down and could not help but laugh.
However, Perfected Taiyi's back …
His red robe had become tattered. There were bruises on his back, and his long hair had been burned into the shape of a dog's bite. Wisps of green smoke were emitted!
Perfected Taiyi took a deep breath and stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth. He slowly floated up, put away the Wind-Fire Wheels, and leaned against Perfected Yu Ding.
He did not lose in a one-on-one battle!
He just did not have the chance to scold to his heart's content!
Li Changshou asked in concern, "Senior Brother, how are your injuries?"
"It's fine. I won't die." Perfected Taiyi smiled coldly. "Anyone who can't kill I will make I stronger!"
Crack!
Perfected Yu Ding accurately slapped Perfected Taiyi's mouth with his left hand. He first gestured for Perfected Taiyi to look at the Saint Jie Yin above the pagoda. Then, he cleared his throat and whispered,
"… My master is the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning."
Li Changshou could not help but smile. He calmly took out four special bronze mirrors — one for the live broadcast and three for backup. He handed them to Perfected Yu Ding and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Okay."
Perfected Yu Ding took it with a smile and stood quietly with the mirror.
In various parts of the Celestial Court, the immortals, Heavenly Soldiers, fairies, and Chang 'e of the Celestial Court, who had been guarding in front of the bronze mirrors, held their breaths and observed.
Clearly, the situation had changed again.
He saw the Saint on the Reincarnation Pagoda again. There were immortal corpses on the cloud path in front of the pagoda.
It seemed that the Western Sect had indeed invested a lot of effort into the Reincarnation Pagoda. Otherwise, the two Saints would not have appeared together.
The numinous treasures around the experts of the Dao Sect had yet to be put away. The fighting intent in the Goddess of Golden Spirit's eyes did not decrease.
The Five-colored Divine Light behind Kong Xuan disappeared. Perfected Yu Ding put away his Treasure Tripod.
The smile on Daoist Duobao's lips became gentler, but there was a hint of calmness in it.
"Confidence."
Jie Yin still did not open his mouth. A faint voice sounded everywhere.
"Changgeng of Ren School, go out and reply."
Li Changshou took two steps forward and bowed with a Dao salute. Daoist Duobao and Fairy Yun Xiao followed behind him.
"Uncle-Master, I'm here."
Jie Yin said, "Why did you lure someone to kill my disciple and destroy the treasures of the Western Sect?"
"I've already discussed this matter before."
Li Changshou cupped his hands. At that moment, he did not need any words or sophistry. He did not need to secretly change the concept.
However, he still had to insist on raising the flag of helping the Western Sect's "Sacred Faction"!
"Uncle-Master, do you know about the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom?"
"I know," Saint Jie Yin said calmly. "The Western Sect is barren. We can use this opportunity to obtain more merit from incense offerings to consolidate our luck. It's beneficial to the stability of the world."
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he would not be able to gain any advantage from his words.
At that moment, Li Changshou calmed himself down and sighed.
"Uncle-Master, you should be very clear about the situation on the Blood Sea."
Before Jie Yin could answer, a wisp of Dao runes circulated.
Scenes appeared in the hearts of the disciples of the Saints at the same time …
The originally vast sea of blood had already changed color. Countless faint figures floated in the air. There were many figures that could not be distinguished. Those ghosts did not have a physical body to begin with. At that moment, many of them were embedded in each other …
Many ferocious beasts in the sea of blood were attracted by the ghosts and were devouring the ghosts there. However, the number of ferocious beasts was not worth mentioning compared to the ghosts …
The scene changed again. Fengdu City was in chaos. Ferocious ghosts and fierce souls wandered everywhere. The "comets" had exploded the group of ferocious ghosts, giving Yin Si a headache.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation were affected and filled with souls that were about to reincarnate. There were many ferocious ghosts and fierce souls there. A large number of ghosts in the sea of blood had already been attracted by the Reincarnation Disc …
Jie Yin looked to the side and said calmly, "Since you're here, why don't you show yourself?"
He heard another chuckle and an auspicious cloud appeared above Li Changshou and the others.
A middle-aged Daoist sat on the cloud. He wore a high crown and a luxurious robe. His face was somewhat similar to the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch.
As soon as the Daoist appeared, the elegant, peaceful, and calming Dao runes circulated, easily resisting the pressure that Li Changshou and the others felt.
Yu Ding and Huang Long hurriedly called him Teacher. Duobao, Jin Ling, Yun Xiao, and Zhao Gongming called him Uncle-Master.
Kong Xuan still bowed slightly. Li Changshou still called him Uncle-Master. On the other hand, Perfected Taiyi's eyes were filled with tears when he saw his teacher. His legs turned limp and he almost knelt down …
"Ah! Ah! Ah! "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's smile deepened. He pointed at Perfected Taiyi and smiled. "I'm here. Just speak."
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Perfected Taiyi agreed and looked at Li Changshou.
Continue?
This time, he did not care about anything.
Li Changshou did not dare to blink. Everything that had happened previously was under his control. He did not dare to express it carelessly now.
Everything that Perfected Taiyi did next had nothing to do with Xiao Qiong Mount and the Water God Residence!
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning swept his gaze over. Li Changshou was a little nervous.
"Changgeng."
"I'm here."
"Come to the Jade Void Palace more often when you're free," the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said warmly. "The Great Tribulation is imminent. You are the person whom Senior Brother has chosen to lead the tribulation. Don't be biased."
Li Changshou said, "I will definitely go to the Jade Void Palace later. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, please guide me in my cultivation!"
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning immediately smiled. Then, he looked at Fairy Yun Xiao and calmly looked away.
"Go," the Jade Pure Saint said. "Answer whatever Daoist Brother Jie Yin asks you. If he doesn't ask you well, don't answer. If you can answer, answer better.
In this world, the words of the three of us are still useful. "
"Yes."
Li Changshou answered respectfully and took two steps forward to return to his previous position.
Talking to a Saint is really …
It's torturous.
There were too many meanings in the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's words. There was a huge difference between understanding it in two different directions!
Why do these Lord Sage have such personalities?
In comparison, his Taiqing master was the easiest to get along with. However, getting along with him …
It took time.
Li Changshou said warmly, "Uncle-Master Jie Yin, do you have anything else to ask?"
Saint Jie Yin asked, "Why did you ruin the opportunity of the Western Sect, kill my disciples, and snatch my Western Sect's pagoda?"
"This matter actually has nothing to do with the senior brothers and sisters behind me." Li Changshou sighed and said, "They came to help because of their friendship with me. I can't implicate them."
As soon as he said that, Duobao and Zhao Gongming immediately wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Li Changshou's hand gesture behind his back.
Li Changshou said, "Uncle-Master Jie Yin, I'm from Ren School.
I was recognized by Senior Brother Great Daoist Master and brought into the Tushita Palace. I was also loved by Teacher and taught me the Great Taiqing Dao.
However, I have another identity. I'm a third-rank legitimate god of the Celestial Court. I'm a special envoy established by the Jade Emperor.
In Uncle-Master's Western Sect, there are disciples of the Saints who have caused trouble in the trichiliocosm and created the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. They have a huge impact on the living beings of the mortal world. The operation of the Heavenly Dao is dragged down by them.
The Reincarnation Pagoda was used to strengthen the Burning Incense God Country.
Under His Majesty's orders, I am plotting against the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and the Immortal Dao Alliance in the trichiliocosm. Therefore, I can't ignore this matter and have no choice but to do so. That's why this situation happened.
I believe that anyone who protects the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom is interfering with the Heavenly Dao and is the enemy of the Celestial Court. "
After saying that, Li Changshou stood there quietly.
Saint Jie Yin asked, "Who can explain to Changgeng about the Reincarnation Pagoda here?"
"Teacher." Ksitigarbha stood up and said in a low voice, "I once traveled in the trichiliocosm and saw that the trichiliocosm was very far away from the Primordial World. Countless souls had already turned into ghosts before they could report to the Netherworld.
Therefore, I suggest building this Reincarnation Pagoda for the sake of the world. "
Jie Yin raised his hand gently. Ksitigarbha understood and turned to look at Li Changshou.
The eyes of the two of them flickered. It was as if there were whirlwinds around them, suppressing the elegance of the disciples of the Saints.
Ksitigarbha took a cool half-step forward …
"Huh?!"
Ksitigarbha turned his head and glared at his heels. Truth Listener's body had shrunk by more than half. At that moment, it was biting the back of Ksitigarbha's Daoist robe and sending a voice transmission anxiously in its heart.
"Don't go, Master. You're not the Water God's match. In a while, you'll be pushed out to take the blame!"
"This is my last chance!"
Ksitigarbha cursed in his heart, "If I don't stand up now, do you expect others to stand up?
They are the fastest to rush up when they see credit. They usually only know how to scheme and scheme! "
Li Changshou looked at Truth Listener. Truth Listener trembled twice and immediately let go of Ksitigarbha's Daoist robe. It followed behind dejectedly.
Li Changshou cupped his hands. Ksitigarbha nodded with a smile.
Ksitigarbha said, "Fellow Daoist, the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and the Reincarnation Pagoda are actually not the same thing. I don't know where you heard that rumor.
The Western Sect built the Reincarnation Pagoda for the world … "
"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, if we don't have different positions, I'm willing to brew tea with you."
Li Changshou suddenly said that while Ksitigarbha was deep in thought, he took the opportunity to interrupt.
Li Changshou said, "Fellow Daoist, can you explain why Fengdu City was attacked at this moment?"
Ksitigarbha said, "I don't know about that. The evil ghosts of the Netherworld have caused trouble. This situation seems to have happened a few times before."
Li Changshou asked again, "In that case, why did the Reincarnation Pagoda choose this place? When I questioned you previously, you did not say that."
"Previously, the Water God was aggressive. We all thought that the Dao Sect was here to spy on the opportunity of the Western Sect."
Ksitigarbha swept his gaze across the disciples of the Dao Sect behind Li Changshou and smiled confidently.
Ksitigarbha continued, "On the other hand, Fellow Daoist Changgeng misled us and deceived the Lord Sage. He caused a huge battle to erupt here and harmed more than ten lives of our sect. How should we settle this?"
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to change the topic. We haven't figured out the matter of the Reincarnation Pagoda."
Li Changshou said calmly, "At this moment, there are fierce spirits causing trouble in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. There are countless human souls in the sea of blood. The Reincarnation Pagoda has already been built. It just lacks the approval of the Heavenly Dao.
Fellow Daoist, are you telling me that all of this is a coincidence?
You said that I deceived the Saint. Fellow Daoist, you are the one who is fooling the Saint. "
Ksitigarbha frowned slightly. The two of them looked at each other, and their fighting spirit burned.
Ksitigarbha's mind raced as he retorted, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any proof that these souls were released by the Western Sect?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Did he activate the hidden attribute of Ksitigarbha?
It was indeed much more difficult to deal with than before.
Perfected Taiyi scoffed. "Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha, the word 'proof' comes out of your mouth.
Then, I will stew your mount today. As long as I deal with your mount cleanly and leave no evidence, I can deny this matter? "
Truth Listener trembled when it heard that. Its eyes were filled with a desire to live.
Lao Dao of the Western Sect immediately replied, "Junior Brother Ksitigarbha is right. How can you prove that these souls were released by the Western Sect?"
Ksitigarbha frowned. There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes, but he did not say anything.
Daoist Duobao sighed and said, "If we continue discussing this, we might as well let my Junior Brother Gongming take action."
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. "Then I will be lying down today."
Half of the disciples of the Western Sect were facing a formidable enemy.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning spoke again, "Fellow Daoist Jie Yin, don't let your disciple cause trouble.
Even if the heavenly secrets are locked, do you still not know what happened after we defied the will of the Heavenly Dao? "
Daoist Jie Yin said, "Fellow Daoist, since we have appeared today, we have to resolve this matter.
Since we can't argue anything, the Western Sect is willing to control the Reincarnation Pagoda with the Celestial Court and send the souls above the sea of blood into reincarnation. How about that? "
"Uncle-Master." Li Changshou suddenly looked up. "I have proof."
Daoist Jie Yin frowned and looked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou lowered his head to avoid the other party's gaze and bowed with a Dao salute.
"I suddenly spoke up. Please forgive me for offending you, Uncle-Master.
I have proof, and it's here! "
"Changgeng, tell me." The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning could not help but smile.
The middle-aged Daoist looked at Li Changshou. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
Li Changshou took a deep breath and took out eight jade talismans from his chest pocket. He arranged them in the position of the Eight Trigrams in front of him and emitted clouds that condensed into a "miniature map" of the trichiliocosm and the five continents.
"The one that is flickering with red light is the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom that the Western Sect has built in the trichiliocosm.
The one that is flickering with blue light is the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom that the Western Sect has the absolute upper hand.
One of my proofs is to pull the mortals above the Blood Sea to the Netherworld's Village Viewing Platform and show their hometown to see if they are from these Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms! "
Ksitigarbha frowned when he heard Li Changshou's words.
There was a trap. That sounded reasonable, but there must be a trap. However, Ksitigarbha could not figure out where it was.
Li Changshou continued, "The second proof!
I have once marked the souls of more than three thousand mortal elders who are in their twilight years and approaching the end of their lifespans. Everyone, please take a look. "
Li Changshou pointed at a spot on the map. The place was flickering with seven-colored light. "Previously, these souls had reported to the Netherworld, but now, they are above the Blood Sea!
How can the Western Sect refute that? "
The Western Sect was silent.
Yun Xiao was deep in thought. A faint smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Li Changshou's tall and straight back. Her eyes were calm, and her heart was clear.
At that moment, Ksitigarbha, who was in front of Li Changshou, seemed to have grasped the main point. An idea flashed in his heart and he immediately said, "Water God, your two proofs …"
"So what if we did it?"
At the foot of the guide, Lao Dao sighed and said, "Water God, we are only keeping these souls temporarily and using the merit of incense offerings to nourish them. It is also a good thing for them.
However, there is something that I have to remind the Water God. Eighty percent of the souls here have existed for at least hundreds of years. Without the nourishment of the merit of incense offerings, they will collapse in seven days. Their True Spirits will also return to nothingness.
My teacher has already said that he is willing to control the Reincarnation Pagoda with the Celestial Court. Why is the Water God still so aggressive … "
"Hahaha!"
Ksitigarbha suddenly raised his head and laughed. "Hahahahaha!"
Lao Dao frowned. "Junior Brother Ksitigarbha?"
"He's cheating! The Water God is tricking you! "
Ksitigarbha turned around and pointed at the old Daoist priest. He could not help but curse.
He could not help but curse, "When those souls go to the Village Viewing Platform, they can see the scenery of their hometown and know where it is.
They are just mortals! They will never be able to walk out of a radius of 500 kilometers!
The Water God had only cultivated for a few hundred years. He had only gone to the trichiliocosm in the past ten to twenty years. Where could he go and what could he do?
You!
You have lost everything! You have lost everything! "
Lao Dao frowned and said, "Junior Brother Ksitigarbha, the Water God has always been thorough. Don't force yourself and embarrass our teacher."
Many disciples of the Western Sect looked at Ksitigarbha with unfriendly expressions.
Ksitigarbha smiled bitterly and shook his head. He bowed to the guide, who had closed his eyes at some point in time, and said, "I'm willing to accept the punishment."
Then, he turned around and looked at Li Changshou, who was smiling faintly.
"Water God, the Western Sect just wants to take back some luck. We want to have more chips.
When the Great Tribulation descended, many people in the sect panicked and wanted to accumulate more merit. That was why they ended up in a tragedy in the mortal world.
My sect will investigate this matter and give the Celestial Court an explanation.
The last time the Lady of Earth was trapped by the seven emotions, the Western Sect had also borrowed the power of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom to gather the thoughts of all living beings and help the Lady of Earth find herself.
Water God, please treat the Western Sect with less of the Dao Sect and be more fair. "
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he had won today.
Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha, it's not easy."
Ksitigarbha turned around and walked to the edge of the disciples of the Western Sect. The light in his eyes gradually retreated.
This was the closest he had ever been to winning the battle.
Forget it.
Lao Dao, who had sent out the "assist" just now, finally snapped back to his senses.
However, those who came out were particular about their pride. Especially after being scolded by Ksitigarbha just now, how could he swallow it?
Lao Dao took half a step forward and turned around to bow to the Saint. He said, "Teacher, Junior Brother Ksitigarbha is too …"
"Enough."
Jie Yin said calmly.
Lao Dao's eyes were filled with indignation. He sensed the gazes around him. Those gazes seemed to be mocking him. He said in a low voice, "Teacher, I want to prosper for the Western Sect!"
Crack!
With a loud slap, Jie Yin's sleeve fluttered. Lao Dao's body flew out and crashed into the foundation of the Reincarnation Pagoda. He fell to the ground in a sorry state.
Jie Yin sighed slowly and looked at Li Changshou. He said calmly, "Does the Celestial Court really want this pagoda?"
In other words, he wanted to give the Western Sect some money.
Li Changshou said, "Although I don't know what the Great Tribulation is, I can make the decision in the Great Tribulation later. I'll give the dead people of the Western Sect six fifth-rank auxiliary gods to save their essence souls.
The reason why there are six is because the six disciples of the Saint whose essence souls have been killed are the disciples of the Saint.
However, the Jade Emperor will decide who to save when the time comes. "
A person from the Western Sect said, "This is just to make up for your mistake today!"
Li Changshou continued, "Previously, I picked up a treasure flag. I'm willing to use the treasure flag transformed from the Chaos Green Lotus Leaf to exchange for the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl."
Jie Yin shook his head slightly and flicked his finger. The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl landed in front of Zhao Gongming and returned to its owner.
Zhao Gongming bowed and pushed the Green Lotus Flag out with his immortal power. Li Changshou asked the Taiji Painting to retract the Yin and Yang Qi on it.
Li Changshou continued, "In that case, the Celestial Court is willing to use merit and precious materials to exchange for this Reincarnation Pagoda.
The Jade Emperor will decide how much merit and precious materials there are. However, I can promise that it will definitely be worth the Reincarnation Pagoda. "
Daoist Jie Yin nodded slowly and looked at the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning. He smiled and said, "Let them deal with this place. Dao Brother, why don't we go to the Chaos Sea to persuade them?"
"Okay."
The shadows of the two Sages disappeared along with these words.
They rushed to the Chaos Sea to mediate.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and turned to smile at Yun Xiao. The two of them looked at each other and did not say anything …
"How dare you!"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit suddenly shouted softly. Her body turned into a golden light and charged towards the Reincarnation Pagoda.
At the Reincarnation Pagoda, Lao Dao, who had just been slapped by the Saint and fell to the bottom of the pagoda, was surrounded by gray aura. He smashed his palm at the bottom of the pagoda and cursed.
"Even if I destroy this pagoda that I personally refined, I will not let your Dao Sect benefit!"
Boom!
The base of the pagoda trembled. A pearl on the top floor shattered strangely under the protection of layers of restrictions.
When Li Changshou turned around, he could only see the sword beam that the Goddess of Golden Spirit had shot out, the shadows of the experts of the Western Sect blocking, and …
There was a gray aura on Lao Dao's forehead that had yet to dissipate …
The Great Tribulation!
Why is the Heavenly Dao like this?
