When Saint Zhun Ti appeared outside the Western Heavenly Gate, the Celestial Court was bustling with activity.
Rays of light filled the sky and immortal cranes flew. The Lingxiao Jade Pool trembled.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals hurriedly formed an array formation. The immortals and gods changed their appearances.
The white-robed Jade Emperor frowned. Mu Gong panicked. The righteous gods spoke, but they did not know if the Saint of the Western Sect had come to denounce them or if he had other plans.
The Jade Emperor paced back and forth anxiously. He turned around and shouted,
"Quickly invite Changgeng!"
Mu Gong accepted the order and rushed to the Water God Residence.
However, at that moment …
"Phew …"
On the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber on Xiao Qiong Mount.
Li Changshou's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and the ends of his long hair were charred. The Daoist robe on his body had been destroyed beyond recognition. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black smoke.
He wanted a glass of wine and a cigarette. He sighed that his immortal life was lonely. He was young and did not know what the heavens were.
In the detection of his immortal senses, Elder Wan Linyun had successfully entered the Gold God realm. At that moment, he was recuperating and comprehending on the spot. He should have gained quite a lot.
Elder Wan consumed a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. The process of transcending the tribulation was dangerous.
After all, he had almost been sucked over by Li Changshou.
Li Changshou had obtained that Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in the Tushita Palace previously. It was not something that he and his junior sister had used previously.
From the looks of it, when Ling 'e, Youqin Genya, and Jiujiu transcended the Gold God Tribulation, he would definitely have to help them. He would definitely be "spurred" by the Heavenly Dao.
The future is painful.
However, what is the principle of this thing?
It's unreasonable!
Could it be that this is the best proof that the Dao Ancestor has not been assimilated by the Heavenly Dao and can affect the Heavenly Dao?!
Although he was joking, he still had to make some preparations in advance, especially when Ling 'e was about to transcend the tribulation. He would most likely be "tortured to death".
It was time to speed up the progress of the Eight Nine Mysteries.
This time, Li Changshou was struck by the Divine Punishment. He could clearly feel that the Eight Nine Mysteries, which had just reached a certain level, had already exerted a good "thunder-resistance".
If he mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, he could also use it as a trump card.
If he could comprehend the last level of the Eight Nine Mysteries and reach the Nine Return to Origin Realm, then he could become … a core trump card.
It was said that the battle techniques of the Magi were obtained from the memories left behind by the bloodline of the Great God Pangu. After Li Changshou came into contact with the mysterious technique that the Lady of Earth had organized, he completely believed the rumor.
It was really mysterious.
Counting the days, it was about time for her to receive the reincarnations of the Seven Emotions back to the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court also had the Celestial Kingdom in the Lower Three Heavens, which was enough for them to play around.
There was no time like the present …
"Water God! Chang Geng! Aiyaya! That's incredible! "
He suddenly shouted in his heart. Although it was a little blurry, he could tell that it was Mu Gong's voice.
Li Changshou hurriedly returned his attention to the paper effigy in the Water God Residence of the Celestial Court. He picked up his horsetail whisk, tidied his clothes, and rushed out of the study.
Dong Mu Gong was pacing around anxiously outside the door. Li Changshou hurriedly asked what had happened. Mu Gong stomped his feet and shouted, "The two Saints of the Western Sect are here.
I'm afraid they have already entered the Western Heavenly Gate and are heading towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall! "
When Li Changshou heard that … he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
That's it?
A moment ago, he had a warm and friendly exchange with the Heavenly Dao. The cold Divine Punishment slapped his face in a daze.
Now, the two Saints of the Western Sect had only come to look for him. Moreover, there was a high chance that they had personally come to pressure the Jade Emperor and asked the Celestial Court to cancel the bounty on the Void Bodhi …
It was reasonable and within his expectations.
The other Saints could not bring themselves to come to the Celestial Court to negotiate with the Jade Emperor directly. However, Li Changshou had long predicted that the Little Saint of the Western Sect would definitely come to the Celestial Court before the Purple Cloud Palace discussed the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
He wanted to confuse the Jade Emperor.
"Let's go," Li Changshou said. "Let's go to the Lingxiao Hall. Mu Gong, don't be anxious. You have to be calm as a member of the Celestial Court. We are also His Majesty's pride."
Mu Gong hurriedly agreed and rushed to the Lingxiao Hall with Li Changshou.
Just as the two of them left on a cloud, another young Daoist walked out of the study.
Naturally, it was Li Changshou's paper effigy.
Li Changshou looked at the Golden-Winged Roc that was occupying Ling Zhuzi's room and cultivating in seclusion. Li Changshou pondered for a while and dispelled the idea of bringing the Golden-Winged Roc along.
The Sixth Saint could be shameless, but others could not take the initiative to fall.
At that moment, Li Changshou split into two. The paper effigy in the Water God's skin rushed to the Lingxiao Hall. The paper effigy that looked like a young Daoist rushed to find the incarnation of the Jade Emperor, Qin Tianzhu.
Both sides arrived almost at the same time.
The Jade Emperor first looked at Li Changshou from the Lingxiao Hall. The Jade Emperor's incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, also looked at Li Changshou's other paper effigy …
It was a little messy.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Li Changshou first shouted in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and sent a voice transmission to Qin Tianzhu. "Your Majesty, quickly follow me to the Jade Pool and secretly ask the Queen Mother to hide the whereabouts of our two incarnations.
It's not convenient for me to send a voice transmission in front of the Saint. I'm here to plan for Your Majesty. No matter what, I can't let the Western Sect take advantage of me! "
"Minister, you're really thoughtful!"
Qin Tianzhu immediately gave him a thumbs-up and rushed to the edge of the Jade Pool with Li Changshou on a cloud.
Before the two incarnations arrived at the Jade Pool, golden light had already shone in the Lingxiao Hall. The thirty-feet-tall "statue" had already arrived in front of the Lingxiao Hall.
In the hall, Li Changshou looked at the Jade Emperor on the platform. The latter blinked and followed Li Changshou's voice transmission. He pretended to be enthusiastic and walked out from behind the jade table.
The battle had already begun.
The statue of the Saint outside the hall deliberately slowed down.
The Jade Emperor seemed to be walking down quickly, but in fact, he had to step on the stairs before he could take a step forward.
The immortals in the hall had already received Mu Gong's voice transmission. At that moment, they only turned around and bowed to welcome him. They did not move.
The plan seemed small, but it was actually very meaningful.
The Jade Emperor would give Zhun Ti more face by moving ten feet out. Today, the Jade Emperor was definitely not willing to give Zhun Ti the same "respect" as the Grand Supreme Elder.
The Grand Supreme Elder was the incarnation of Lao Tzu. He had been in charge of the Celestial Court since ancient times.
Zhun Ti was the Second Saint of the Western Sect. It was unknown if he was a match for the Grand Supreme Elder in a battle. However, not only did he not contribute to the Celestial Court, he always caused trouble.
Hence, the Jade Emperor stabilized himself on the second last step of the jade stairs. He smiled warmly at the statue in front of him. He placed his left hand behind his back and placed his right hand in front of his abdomen.
"Senior Brother, why didn't you send someone to inform me in advance that you are coming to the Celestial Court? I could have made some preparations in advance."
The thirty-feet-tall statue that Zhun Ti had transformed into was expressionless. His voice sounded from the statue.
"How would I dare to be addressed as Senior Brother by the Jade Emperor? The Western Sect of the I is no longer worth mentioning in the eyes of the Celestial Court. "
In the Lingxiao Hall, the immortals were silent.
No one expected that Saint Zhun Ti would not even exchange pleasantries and directly attack.
Many immortals could not help but use their immortal senses to investigate Li Changshou, who was beside Mu Gong. However, Li Changshou had his eyes closed and was calm. His Dao salute was only shallow.
The silence lasted for a while. The Jade Emperor's eyes flickered and he smiled.
"Since Hierarch Zhun Ti does not want to acknowledge the background of learning the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace, I will not mention this matter anymore!"
The face of the statue that Zhun Ti had transformed into darkened. He looked at Li Changshou, who was standing there.
That sentence clearly had the style of the Water God. In just twenty-eight words, it had reached the level of the Western Sect's traitorous Dao Sect.
Even the Saints had to take it seriously.
Many immortals were secretly amazed …
The Jade Emperor had confronted the Saint head-on!
It was really a situation that could be seen after living for a long time!
The statue of Zhun Ti spoke again, "Jade Emperor, you misunderstood. I did not mean that. It's just that the Water God that the Jade Emperor values the most actually issued a wanted order for the disciples of the Western Sect.
Does the Jade Emperor know about this? "
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and smiled. "So Hierarch Zhun Ti is here for that.
I wonder if Hierarch Zhun Ti can reveal his true appearance … I don't have any other intentions. It's just that the Great Tribulation has descended and the calamity has blinded the heavenly secrets. I'm also worried that someone will be bold enough to pretend to be a Saint. "
The statue of Zhun Ti was silent for a while. Then, the golden light flickered and converged. The statue transformed into Zhun Ti's appearance. At that moment, he was still sitting cross-legged on an auspicious cloud.
When the Saint revealed his true appearance, all kinds of auspicious signs appeared in the Lingxiao Hall.
The immortals with lower cultivation levels felt a strong urge to kneel down and worship just because they took a few more looks at the Saint's true appearance.
At that moment, the white-robed Jade Emperor, who was standing on the jade steps, chuckled and emitted the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor.
The immortals who were intimidated by the Saint's dignity felt the roars of dragons and tigers in their hearts. They instantly woke up.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Since the Saint is here, don't be rude.
Someone, move a chair over and invite Hierarch Zhun Ti to take a seat. "
As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, Dong Mu Gong immediately wanted to agree. However, Li Changshou beat him to it. He arrived in front of Dong Mu Gong and lowered his head.
"This lowly god understands!"
Dong Mu Gong hurriedly stopped. His eyes were filled with confusion.
The Water God had done the work of moving chairs and stools. Could he, Mu Gong, really only do the inventory of the treasure vault in the Celestial Court?
However, soon, Dong Mu Gong realized that things were not that simple.
Li Changshou first ordered someone to bring two chairs over and personally placed them. One was placed in front of the jade steps, and the other was placed beside the jade steps. The latter was slightly forward.
The Jade Emperor calmly stood in front of the chair in the middle and invited Saint Zhun Ti to take a seat with a smile.
Although the arrangement was simple, it was rather ingenious. It not only reflected the respect that the Celestial Court had for the "Saints", but it also expressed the Jade Emperor's "indifference" to the Saint.
Compared to the Immortal Peach Banquet previously, the Grand Supreme Elder had ridden the green ox and the green ox had been tied by Li Changshou … Ahem, such details were not important.
At that time, the Grand Supreme Elder's seat was behind the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's throne. It was vaguely above the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
That was true respect.
Saint Zhun Ti's expression remained the same. He dispersed the auspicious clouds and floated three inches above the ground. He walked in the air and walked to the side of the Jade Emperor. He sat on the guest seat.
Just the few steps that the Saint had taken just now contained the truth of the Great Dao.
At that moment, Dong Mu Gong finally understood.
Moving the chair today was indeed not something he could do.
The Jade Emperor continued, "Changgeng, get someone to bring over the meditation cushion and short tables. Please take your seats.
Hierarch Zhun Ti's pressure is too strong. The cultivation levels of the immortals of the Celestial Court are not high. It's difficult for us to resist. Don't embarrass ourselves. "
"Yes." Li Changshou agreed again. He immediately ordered the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to enter and bring over meditation cushions and short tables for the officials and generals in the hall to take their seats.
After that, many immortals gradually felt that the Lord Sage … was not a Chaos Beast. He was not that terrifying.
In the eyes of the immortals and gods, the Water God, who had always been famous for being eloquent, was silent. However, the Jade Emperor began to speak.
In fact, in a hidden corner of the Jade Pool, under the cover of the Queen Mother's Dao runes, Qin Tianzhu and Li Changshou sat cross-legged in the corner of the wall. They sent voice transmissions and quickly communicated.
Not letting the Western Sect take advantage of them was the direction they insisted on working hard.
It was their unremitting goal to make Saint Zhun Ti's schemes fail!
In the Lingxiao Hall, the white-robed Jade Emperor said,
"Hierarch Zhun Ti seemed to have mentioned the disciple of your sect, the Void Bodhi. Can Hierarch Zhun Ti tell me the details?
Changgeng was the one who gave the order first. I only learned about it yesterday. "
Zhun Ti said, "The Water God of the Celestial Court actually has such authority. There's no need for the Jade Emperor to know about it. He can convict the disciples of the great sects.
The Jade Emperor seems to have lost control of the Three Realms. "
"Hierarch Zhun Ti, you might not know." The Jade Emperor was not flustered. He smiled calmly and said, "I have long given Changgeng the right to kill first and report later. This is the Heavenly Fate. It has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and has been recorded by the Lingxiao Hall.
Hierarch Zhun Ti accused me of losing control of the Three Realms. I'm afraid I have interfered with the internal affairs of the Celestial Court. "
Zhun Ti continued, "As a Saint, can't I interfere with the matters of the Celestial Court?"
The Jade Emperor was not angry at all. He retracted his smile and said seriously,
"The Celestial Court follows the Dao Ancestor's decree and respects the six Saints according to the Heavenly Dao.
However, the matters of the Celestial Court are related to the stability of the Three Realms and the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Although Hierarch Zhun Ti is a Saint, he cannot directly interfere with the matters of the Celestial Court.
This rule had been set by the Dao Ancestor when the Celestial Court was first established. Could it be that Hierarch Zhun Ti has forgotten?
If it's unfair, how can the Celestial Court manage the Three Realms in the future? "
The pressure around Saint Zhun Ti became even stronger. "The word 'fairness' that the Jade Emperor mentioned is referring to whether the Water God of the Celestial Court can descend a great calamity on the disciples of my sect for no reason. Can he give the order to kill the disciples of my sect for no reason?"
"Sect Master Zhun Ti should know better than me what the Void Bodhi did. How can you say that there's no reason?"
The Jade Emperor looked at Li Changshou and said warmly, "Minister Changgeng, tell me in detail about the sin of the Void Bodhi.
We can't wrong a good spirit, but we can't let a sinful spirit off. If there's really a mistake, we have to change it. That's the Celestial Court. "
Li Changshou stood up and agreed. He bowed to the Saint and told the immortals about the situation at the Immortal Alliance Meeting that day.
At the same time, he imitated the scene of the Void Bodhi guiding the country. His tone and expression could be said to be lifelike.
After Li Changshou explained what the Void Bodhi had said, many immortals in the hall looked angry. However, they did not dare to speak carelessly …
Li Changshou turned around and said to the Jade Emperor, "Your Majesty, what I said just now is true.
"Your Majesty, everything I said just now is true, and the Heavenly Dao can bear witness.
The Void Bodhi was full of greed. He wanted to incite the immortals from all sides to defy the heavenly mandate and become enemies with the Celestial Court. He even made irresponsible remarks, spouted nonsense, reversed right and wrong, and confused right and wrong!
He publicly declared that the Celestial Court only wanted the destiny of the human race and wanted to kill countless immortals. He also had no remorse for building the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and harming all living beings!
I endured for a long time and did not kill his incarnation directly. Instead, on account that he was the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, I let him finish speaking before refuting them one by one.
I refuted him in front of tens of thousands of immortals and made him speechless. Only then did I convict him of an unforgivable crime!
Actually, Your Majesty, when I measured his crimes, I still left some leeway. I knew that he was the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, so I did not kill him.
I never expected that after the Void Bodhi returned to the spiritual mountain, he would actually dare to sow discord and bewitch Hierarch Zhun Ti … Hierarch Zhun Ti, why don't you bring the Void Bodhi over and kill your family?
This will not only allow the Western Sect to be rewarded generously by the Celestial Court, but it will also increase the luck of the Western Sect! "
After saying that, Li Changshou bowed to the Jade Emperor and calmly sat back beside Mu Gong.
However, Zhun Ti said, "Disciple-Nephew Changgeng has always been known for being cautious. Why did you do such a foolish thing today?
You can verify the incarnation that appeared that day. How do you know that he is the Void Bodhi?
All these years, the Void Bodhi has been cultivating in seclusion on the spiritual mountain. He does not know anything about what you said, but he has been scolded for no reason. "
The smile that the Jade Emperor was about to bloom froze. He looked at Li Changshou in shock, but he quickly changed his expression.
Li Changshou smiled and took a deep breath.
He really took the bait …
It's not like Saints can't be fooled.
A moment ago, Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor had come up with a small scheme. They wanted the Jade Emperor to take the initiative to speak and use the reason of "verifying his identity" to force the Saint Zhun Ti out of the statue and plant a "hint" in advance.
Then, when it came to the matter of the Void Bodhi, Li Changshou answered as perfectly as possible and blocked off all paths …
Unexpectedly, Saint Zhun Ti really took the bait. He used the element of "verifying his identity" to organize a wave of seemingly unsolvable counterattacks.
Did the Saint fall into his preset script?
In that case, Li Changshou would not stand on ceremony and turn the Western Sect around …
At this moment!
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?!
Don't scare me! I haven't left a son and a daughter for your Li family! "
A commotion suddenly sounded in his heart.
Li Changshou naturally knew that Ling'E, who had returned from Pill Tripod Peak, had arrived in front of the Pill Chamber.
Although he was using the paper effigy to face the might of the Saint and had many treasures to protect his main body, how could Li Changshou not pay attention to his main body?
At that moment, Li Changshou sighed softly in the Lingxiao Hall and deliberately delayed some time.
His main body opened his eyes on the rocking chair on the Xiao Qiong Mount. He raised his hand and knocked Ling'E's forehead, who was pretending to cry. He chided, "Don't shout. I'm fine. I'm busy arguing with someone."
Ling'E smiled happily. She licked her lips and asked softly, "Who are you arguing with?"
A Saint.
Of course, he could not say that. He had to be steady.
"A … troublesome old man."
