After successfully implementing the "subduing birds with virtue" plan, Li Changshou naturally put away his many backup plans.
It was just like the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc being scared away by the Demon-Slaying Sword before it barged into the Celestial Court.
It was also like the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc being hung on an unknown old tree on the moon and being pointed at by the passing fairies.
Or, the scene of the Golden-Winged Roc smashing its head and bleeding in the Fourth Heaven Chain Array …
Since he had already become one of them, he naturally had to destroy a portion of the dark history. He only left behind some key content for emergencies.
The news that the Golden-Winged Roc had been successfully recruited by the Celestial Court and had become the Water God Changgeng's disciple did not spread in the world.
Li Changshou asked the immortals to keep it a secret. The people in the Celestial Court who knew about it were all in the Lingxiao Hall that day.
Now that the Great Tribulation was imminent, even the immortals of the Celestial Court, who were on the side of outsiders, had to consider their own situation.
As a result, the discussions regarding this matter in the various towns of the five continents also quickly died down …
"Didn't the Golden-Winged Roc of the phoenix race say that it wanted to barge into the Celestial Court? It's been so long. Why isn't there any news? "
"He's probably trying to impress the public. He's using this method to gain fame. How can the Celestial Court be so easy to barge into?"
"Something's wrong. Something's wrong."
The Western Sect also pretended to be mute.
Li Changshou guessed that the other party should already know about the Golden-Winged Roc. However, they did not dare to mention it rashly, lest they gave the Jade Emperor an excuse to flare up.
Li Changshou placed the Golden-Winged Roc in his Water God Residence to cultivate. He rewarded the Golden-Winged Roc with two numinous treasures and the nominal position of the Golden Roc Marshal of the Celestial Court.
What made Li Changshou feel a little ironic was that the luck that Kong Xuan had obtained from working hard to take care of the Shang Tribe was not as good as the luck that the Golden-Winged Roc had obtained when it was conferred the title of Marshal of the Celestial Court …
It was obvious who the son of the Heavenly Dao was.
The Celestial Court had added a general. The Jade Emperor was naturally very happy. He wanted to invite the golden-winged roc to a banquet, but Li Changshou stopped him in time.
He couldn't praise the Golden-Winged Roc too much, nor could he praise it blindly.
Although the Golden-Winged Roc had gained some enlightenment in the Chain Array, its personality had not completely changed. If it was praised too much, it would easily become arrogant again. It needed to be beaten regularly.
Another month later, Li Changshou formally applied for permission in front of the immortals of the Celestial Court in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand and appointed Li Changshou as the special envoy of the Celestial Court. He led a few Heavenly Generals to the Trichiliocosm to organize and supervise the Immortal Alliance Meeting.
Li Changshou accepted the order and left. Then, he pushed the matter from behind, causing the news to spread quickly in the five continents and the trichiliocosm.
This was mainly to boost the morale of the Celestial Alliance and lock down the power of the Celestial Alliance in advance, in case a certain Celestial Alliance Alliance Leader felt that he was too sudden.
Three days later.
Li Changshou's paper effigy in the Celestial Court led a few Gold God realm Heavenly Generals and a large group of Heavenly Soldiers and swaggered out of the East Heavenly Gate.
They would probably be able to arrive at the venue the day before the Immortal Alliance Meeting began.
At the same time, in the World Edge Mystic Realm.
Li Changshou's paper effigy left with Lu Yue and directed the immortal soldiers that the World Edge Pavilion had secretly recruited to build the venue of the first Immortal Alliance Meeting.
Although Li Changshou predicted that the Immortal Alliance would be "at the peak of its debut" and "the strongest at the first meeting", he still had to do it seriously this time to prevent any mistakes.
Another three days passed.
At the Sea God Temple in the South Ocean.
A white cloud slowly flew over. There was a man and a woman standing on it. From afar, they looked quite compatible.
The male immortal had a beautiful beard and was majestic. His handsome face was a little tough. His light red armor made him look more dignified. He was the eldest outer sect disciple of Jie School, the Porcelain King of the Primordial World, Old Zhao.
Beside Grandpa Chao was the Goddess of Golden Spirit, the fake Eldest Senior Sister of Jie School that Li Changshou had specially invited.
She had put on light makeup today. Compared to usual, she was less heroic and more charming.
Her slender and beautiful figure was wrapped in a light golden dress embroidered with phoenixes. Her aura was completely released and she was rather mighty.
Li Changshou had gone out early to welcome him. At that moment, he was naturally using the Water God face of the Celestial Court. However, the one standing there was Li Changshou's main body.
In the beginning, Li Changshou had only wanted to secretly hold the Immortal Alliance Meeting and unite the various factions. He naturally did not need his main body to go. The paper effigy was enough to deal with it.
However, Li Changshou had repeatedly deduced that he could not do it secretly. He decided to take the initiative to drag Randeng into the situation and use him as a tool.
However, after dragging Randeng into the situation, Li Changshou realized that he had to invite two trustworthy experts of Jie School to prepare for any unexpected situations.
Grandpa Chao and the Goddess of Golden Spirit had been invited. It would be unreasonable for his main body to hide and not appear …
Therefore, Li Changshou invited the Floating Flame Flag to protect the Xiao Qiong Mount. He carried the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Heart-Piercing Lock and carefully left the Xiao Qiong Mount.
There was no choice. The Primordial World was too dangerous.
The Golden Body of Merit had been blocked twice. Li Changshou had a strong sense of danger.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and laughed. "Changgeng, you're really bad. You actually invited Daoist Randeng to be the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance. Aren't you roasting that old coffin on the fire?"
Li Changshou's smile was a little carefree. He smiled and said, "It's just a small scheme. Senior Brother and Senior Sister, don't take it to heart."
"It's fine." The Goddess of Golden Spirit smiled faintly. "I originally didn't understand your arrangements, but if you explain it to me, I'll understand your ingenious thoughts."
When did Grandpa Chao become so smart?
He must have taken a stroll around the Three-Immortal Island and asked about that matter.
However, that was not important!
Gongming?!
Where's the suffix?
The relationship between the two big shots of Jie School has progressed so quickly? Grandpa Chao's heart was opened by the Goddess of Golden Light and he was going to stay with the Goddess of Golden Spirit in the end?
This wonderful interaction between the mighty figures of the Primordial World.
Li Changshou led the two of them into the main hall. An attendant brought hot tea and fragrant tea.
Everyone was already so familiar that there was no need to exchange pleasantries. Zhao Gongming asked when they would leave. Li Changshou smiled and said, "Let's wait here for a while.
"Let's wait here for a while. I just informed Deputy Sect Master Randeng to meet up. It's best if we go together later."
Zhao Gongming pursed his lips. "It's really not good to travel with Randeng."
However, the Goddess of Golden Spirit said, "No matter what, he is an expert of our Dao Sect on the surface. We still have to give him face in front of outsiders.
However, if he doesn't know how to appreciate favors, hmph! "
"Senior Sister, we still have to be harmonious."
Li Changshou said warmly and looked at Zhao Gongming. They chuckled.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted and turned to drink her tea.
Zhao Gongming asked, "Where did Mr. Bai go?
I went to the outside of your mountain previously and did not sense Mr. Bai's aura, so I returned by myself. "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "He said that he went to visit a friend. It's not appropriate to ask too much."
"I understand." Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. He casually changed the topic. "Changgeng, didn't I hear that a Golden-Winged Roc threatened to provoke the Celestial Court previously? Why is there no movement after that?
Could it be that the Golden-Winged Roc is really just trying to please the crowd? "
Li Changshou said seriously, "Brother, don't think so. The Golden-Winged Roc is born with extreme speed and is quite powerful.
He did go to the Celestial Court that day and arrived in front of the Glacial Palace. "
"Oh?"
Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit looked at each other and expressed their concern. However, their focus was clearly different.
Zhao Gongming asked first, "What happened next?"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned and said, "Are you really like the rumors? Do you have an extraordinary relationship with Fairy Heng 'e of the Glacial Palace?"
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, don't listen to such rumors!
I don't have much interaction with the Moon Lord. I just have a higher authority in the Celestial Court, so I can enter the Glacial Palace. "
The Goddess of Golden Spirit thought about it carefully and felt that it was reasonable.
Zhao Gongming asked again, "What happened to the Golden-Winged Roc?"
"Brother, please look." Li Changshou pointed at the attendant standing in the corner of the inner hall. "Isn't he here?"
The attendant turned around and smiled. Although he still had an aquiline nose and a knife-like face, he did not give off a sharp feeling.
The sunlight outside the window shone on him, coating him with a faint layer of light. It made his smile look like a spring breeze, gentle and a little shy.
Zhao Gongming was rendered speechless.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was speechless.
Just as Li Changshou was about to give a formal introduction, a stream of light suddenly broke through the sky from the northwest.
The Golden-Winged Roc frowned and left a few afterimages on the spot. Its figure quickly rushed out of the inner hall and flew into the sky. It held the stream of light in its palm 50 kilometers away and retreated. It happened to overlap with the afterimages that it had left behind previously.
In just a few seconds, the Golden-Winged Roc stood in front of Li Changshou. It bowed respectfully and offered a jade token.
"Teacher, I've already verified it. There's no trick."
"Okay."
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He used his hands, which were wrapped in immortal power, to take the jade token. His immortal senses probed the information inside.
Li Changshou sighed softly. "Deputy Hierarch Randeng is indeed extraordinary. He actually said that he was at a critical juncture in his Dao enlightenment and asked us to leave first. He will definitely not be late for the Immortal Alliance Meeting.
At that time, he will also bring Daoist Ci Hang with him. He asked me to leave the position of Deputy Alliance Leader for Daoist Ci Hang. "
Zhao Gongming looked at the Golden-Winged Roc in surprise and smiled. "Randeng is really cunning."
"Then let's go." The Goddess of Golden Spirit stood up. "It's better to go over early and prepare early. I want to see what tricks the Western Sect is up to!"
Li Changshou stood up and said, "Golden Roc, I'll have to trouble you this time."
The Golden-Winged Roc hurriedly said, "Teacher, please instruct me."
After saying that, he quickly walked out of the inner hall and revealed his main body in the backyard. It was a Golden-Winged Roc with a wingspan of more than 100 feet.
At that moment, three meditation cushions appeared on the Golden Roc's back with immortal power. One was in front, and two were behind.
The meditation cushion at the front was like a lotus platform. Its exquisiteness was comparable to the treasures of the mortal emperors. The two meditation cushions at the back were simpler. They were like two tree stumps.
Li Changshou frowned and said, "Golden Roc, your mental state is unstable."
The Golden Roc was stunned. Then, it pondered carefully. Its bird face was filled with shame.
"The Golden Roc has disappointed you, Teacher. I'll restore your throne to …"
"There's no need." Li Changshou turned around and invited her. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister Golden Spirit, please take a seat."
The Goddess of Golden Spirit chuckled and did not say anything. As her skirt fluttered, she sat cross-legged on the exquisite throne meditation cushion. Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming landed on the two meditation cushions behind her and looked at each other and smiled.
Li Changshou said, "It's all thanks to the Golden Roc's extreme speed that we have the chance to stroll around and take a look at the Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms."
The Golden-Winged Roc's loud cry pierced through the clouds in the sky. With a gentle flap of its wings, it soared into the sky with a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind a faint afterimage.
As he felt the faint pressure brought by the universe, Zhao Gongming could not help but send a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
"How did you do it?
According to the rumors, the Golden-Winged Roc is arrogant. How, how … how can it be so obedient!?! "
Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, "I'm just using my virtue to convince him."
"Well?"
Zhao Gongming looked down at the Golden-Winged Roc. "Are our morals so different? In any case, I have the reputation of being supremely righteous. Why can't I meet such a powerful mount? "
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. Zhao Gongming clicked his tongue in wonder.
On the way, Li Changshou was worried that the Golden-Winged Roc would be tired. He borrowed two wisps of the Yin-Yang aura of the Taiji Painting and transformed them into the image of the Taiji Painting to support the Golden-Winged Roc …
The Golden-Winged Roc was almost moved to tears.
Unexpectedly, Li Changshou realized that such a simple action had allowed the Golden-Winged Roc's speed to break through his limit.
It was reasonable that the Taiji Painting could reduce the resistance of the universe.
The Golden-Winged Roc enjoyed the joy brought about by its new speed. It flew more and more energetically, and its gaze became more determined.
Let's talk about serious matters.
"Is this the masterpiece of the Western Sect?"
On the horizon of a Major Chiliocosm, Zhao Gongming frowned and looked at a temple that was filled with incense offerings thousands of kilometers away.
The temple was built on the peak of a mountain. Hundreds of Daoists were chanting sutras inside, and the surroundings of the temple emitted golden light.
From the outside of the temple all the way to the foot of the mountain, one could even see the plains and forests around the temple. Mortals knelt on the ground to pay their respects, most of them looking hungry.
In the sky above the temple, the majestic incense merit condensed into a golden cloud and finally disappeared into the depths of the sky.
There seemed to be a crack there …
The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted coldly. She summoned a long sword and was about to destroy the place when she was stopped by Zhao Gongming.
"Why are you stopping me!?!"
"Jin Ling, if you attack like this and destroy the temple here, not only will those mortals not thank you, they will also blame you and hate you. Why do you have to look for trouble?"
The Goddess of Golden Spirit cursed, "Why should I care about the opinions of mortals? The wild gods worshiped here are like the ferocious beast Taotie. I really can't stand it! "
Li Changshou said, "Just let Senior Sister take action. Don't do it because it's small."
"Look." The Goddess of Golden Spirit raised her head slightly and tapped her toes lightly. Her body turned into a ball of golden light and rushed into the sky.
There were a few rumbles and screams. A hall appeared in the sky. Figures flew inside. The Goddess of Golden Spirit's Dharma body did not even appear. She killed the other party with her sword.
The Golden-Winged Roc asked, "Teacher, why would mortals believe in such a wild god?"
Zhao Gongming was the one who answered him.
"Mortals are weak and will not live more than a hundred years old. They will always have a sense of respect and admiration for powers that exceed their understanding.
It was troublesome to destroy a Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. It was not that the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Western Sect were difficult to deal with, but how to settle the mortals.
Changgeng, have you thought about such a problem? "
"Of course," Li Changshou said warmly. "Actually, there are two main ideas.
One is to establish another sect to replace it. It will be effective in a short period of time. It can also allow these mortals to worship another god.
He would then use a relatively gentle doctrine to persuade mortals to focus on farming and production. He would not think about ascending to immortality just by worshiping the gods all day.
However, there would be future troubles if he did that. Those in power would easily be taken advantage of by their selfish desires and walk the same path as the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.
The second is more troublesome. "
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "I'd like to hear more."
Li Changshou looked at the hall in the sky that had gone crazy from the killing.
"The second idea is to educate mortals. I will use books to carry knowledge and record the wisdom of mortals. I will broaden the horizons of all living beings and let them understand what the world is and what is real. I will reduce their ignorance and guide them to think. That way, they will not be harmed by the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the second idea is too one-sided. It's just nonsense. "
Zhao Gongming nodded slowly and said, "If everyone cultivates, I'm afraid it will be another disaster for the world."
"Therefore, everything needs to be balanced. It's the same for this matter."
Li Changshou put his hands in his sleeves and said softly, "I want to replace these Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms with the incense offerings of the Celestial Court. I want all living beings to respect the Emperor and the Earth. They will distinguish good and evil, determine justice, and know life and death. Cultivation will be regarded as an external matter. The Heavenly Soldiers will be stationed in the various worlds."
Zhao Gongming gave him a thumbs-up. Li Changshou did not say anything.
Elder Brother Zhao Gongming was not of the human race, so it was difficult for him to empathize with them.
The Golden-Winged Roc suddenly said firmly, "Teacher, I understand!"
Ming …
What did he understand?
At that moment, a silver-white sword beam flashed across the sky and cut the hall in half. The ruins fell from the sky and smashed into a desolate wheat field.
Streams of light appeared in the sky, but the Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted coldly. She did not even look at the streams of light and returned to the Golden-Winged Roc's back.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit cursed, "There's not even half a disciple of a Saint. It's useless to kill more. It's just dirtying my sword."
Li Changshou said, "Let's go and take a look at other places."
The Golden-Winged Roc let out a loud cry and flew away from the Major Chiliocosm in the blink of an eye, leaving those who wanted to chase far behind.
Just like that, they took a detour to visit the eighteen Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms. The Goddess of Golden Spirit attacked three times and could not be bothered to continue.
Li Changshou used the Shadow-Retaining Ball to obtain some "evidence" and gave the Golden-Winged Roc a location.
Less than half a month after setting off from the South Ocean, Li Changshou and the others arrived at a Minor Chiliocosm. From afar, they could see the blue color that filled the small world.
This Small World was mainly dominated by the five elements of water. There were only the sky and the sea.
The venue of the Immortal Alliance Meeting was there. At that moment, it had already been set up. Li Changshou had used the Dragons Ceremony that he had once participated in as a reference. The entire main venue was designed in the shape of a lotus.
However, it had to be said that it was not as impressive as the Dragons's casual actions back then …
Funds were limited, funds were limited.
Li Changshou's paper effigy reminded Lu Yue and left on his own.
Lu Yue, who had been meditating in boredom and reminiscing about the days in the World Edge Mystic Realm, immediately perked up when he heard that Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit had arrived. He jumped up and took the initiative to welcome them. He revealed a smile of a junior brother.
Li Changshou had already ordered the Golden-Winged Roc to transform into a human and hide its aura. He was prepared to give Randeng and the people of the Western Sect a surprise later.
What other arrangements should I make?
Li Changshou sized up his surroundings and wondered if he should get a few Flying Dharma artifacts to pull up two banners. He would say, "Warmly welcome Senior Randeng as the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance. Senior Randeng and the Western Sect are irreconcilable."
That scene should be quite interesting.
