Apart from being the location of the Saint's Jade Void Palace, Kunlun Mountain was also a famous gathering place for itinerant cultivators in the Primordial World.
Most of the old immortals cultivating there were not directly related to Chan School. After all, the threshold for Chan School to accept disciples was rather high. It was not something that an ordinary Gold God could reach.
Many of the Immortals who cultivated here were people with sharp ears and eyes and were well-informed. They had close connections with the various towns and sects of the Center Continent.
Therefore, Kunlun Mountain gradually became the gathering place for rumors in the Primordial World. The immortal banquets at the various peaks almost every day became the best place for immortals and gods to socialize.
Du 'e was an old celebrity.
In the past half a month, 90% of the news about the twelfth-grade red lotus in the Primordial World had originated from that.
At first, most immortals thought that it was fake news.
The Primordial World was too huge. There were many similar rumors every day, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies.
However, when the Patriarch of the Duxian Sect, the in-name disciple of the Lord Sage of Ren School, Perfected Du 'e, spoke after drinking, things changed.
"How can this news be fake?
I asked many good friends about it. The twelfth-grade red lotus is indeed about to appear. This item can suppress the destiny of the sect!
I's good friends in Jie School have rushed to the Blood Sea to search. Everyone, don't ask too much. Don't spread this matter, lest you cause any trouble for I's good friends. I promised them to keep their mouths shut. "
Hence, the news that the twelfth-grade red lotus was about to appear spread throughout the five continents of the Primordial World and the dozens of Major Chiliocosms nearby within a few days.
The experts of the various immortal sects and the itinerant cultivators of the five continents of the Primordial World swarmed towards the Blood Sea, forcing the Netherworld to be on guard. The Celestial Court could only increase its troops again.
Fortunately, Li Changshou did not investigate the source of the news …
Once there were more experts in the Blood Sea, things became complicated.
Although there were many itinerant cultivators and immortal sects, most of them fought on their own. When they encountered benefits, they would gather together. When they encountered trouble, they would naturally disperse.
The Asura Clan treated the Blood Sea as their home and valued the twelfth-grade red lotus very much. They were hostile to all Qi Refinement cultivators who came to the Blood Sea to search for traces of the red lotus.
Although they did not have accurate information about Red Lotus.
The two sides had already started fighting, the Qi Practitioners were all retreating quickly, none of them were willing to fight to the death.
The Western Sect, Chan School, and Jie School began to restrain their disciples, especially the Western Sect. Most of the experts had already returned to the spiritual mountain and did not continue to participate in the sea of blood.
That made Li Changshou suspect that the Western Sect had already found the twelfth-grade Red Lotus, but they had deliberately not taken it. They wanted to use that to cause a dispute between the three sects of the Dao Sect.
However, how could the Western Sect, which claimed to be poor, not take such a treasure?
Or could it be that for some reason, they could not take out the blood lotus, so the Western Sect chose to give up and spread the news to use it to plot?
This was the most reasonable explanation.
Headache. The only thing Li Changshou felt right now was a headache.
At the edge of the Blood Sea, he was pacing back and forth in the tent where the 200,000 elite Heavenly Soldiers were stationed.
On the main seat, the bearded chief general of the Celestial Court, Wei Shenmo, raised his hand to stroke his beard and said in a rough voice,
"Water God, will the immortals of Chan School and Jie School still look for you in the future?"
The fourth incarnation of the Jade Emperor had clearly spent some effort. From his appearance to his habits, he tried his best to avoid making others think of the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court.
Li Changshou stopped in his tracks and sat back on the "advisor seat" beside him. He sighed and said, "That can prove that the friends I have are not bad."
"Oh?" Wei Shenmo supported the immortal helmet on his head. "Why do you say that?"
Li Changshou said, "We have been here for six days. The immortals of Jie School and Chan School who are familiar with me have yet to appear. They should be afraid that I will be in trouble."
Wei Shenmo laughed heroically and said, "That's indeed the case. I originally thought that the experts of the two sects would come to meet you as soon as we arrived.
I was worried that a fight would break out here. "
"No, Marshal, don't worry. Everyone knows … Huh?"
His immortal senses suddenly captured a stream of light shooting towards the Heavenly Soldiers' camp from the east and west. There were two jade talismans inside.
This …
I just praised him and the two sides sent letters?
Suddenly, a ray of golden light flashed past. The two jade talismans were still 500 kilometers away from the camp when they were captured by the golden light.
After a while, the door of the tent opened. The Golden-Winged Roc, who was dressed in golden chain armor, walked in and held the two jade talismans in front of Li Changshou.
"Teacher, I've already checked. There are no tricks!"
"Alright." Li Changshou agreed. He seemed to be calm as he received the jade token. In fact, he was still 80% vigilant.
After reading the information in the jade token, Li Changshou frowned at first before relaxing. He said softly, "Golden Roc, please continue patrolling outside."
"Okay!"
The Golden-Winged Roc cupped its hands and bowed. It turned around and left in a hurry. It was very energetic.
The Jade Emperor's incarnation, Wei Shenmo, stood up and asked, "How is it?"
Li Changshou handed one of the jade talismans to Wei Shenmo and put the other jade talisman into his sleeve. He smiled and said, "Marshal, don't look at this."
Wei Shenmo's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Was it sent by Fairy Yun Xiao?"
"Yes." Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. "She told me to deal with the matters here in peace. She also knows that I'm in a difficult situation and advised me not to waver because of my personal feelings.
She also said that if she comes to the Blood Sea to fight for the twelfth-grade red lotus under Master's orders later, she will try her best to persuade her fellow disciples not to start a war. "
Wei Shenmo praised, "She's really a fairy who knows the big picture. Why didn't the Water God marry her early?"
"It's still early." Li Changshou hurriedly said, "Marshal, look at the letter from Chan School first. This is a letter from Senior Brother Chi Jingzi."
"Let me take a look." Wei Shenmo rolled up his sleeves and probed with his immortal senses to read it carefully.
"Water God, I actually didn't say anything. I'm just asking if the matter regarding the red lotus is true."
Li Changshou said, "The key is the last sentence."
"Huh?" Wei Shenmo took a few more glances and savored it carefully.
"If this is true, Junior Brother Changgeng, please make a decision early."
"Chan School wants you to express your stance."
Wei Shenmo threw the jade token on the desk and placed his hands on the edge of the desk. He said, "From the wording of their letter, they are considered polite and respectful. They have given you enough face, Water God.
However, there was another letter from Fairy Yun Xiao. At that moment, let's treat it as the attitude of Jie School.
In comparison, there is a clear distinction between closeness and distance. "
Li Changshou smiled and asked, "Marshal, you seem to like Jie School more?"
Wei Shenmo complained, "It's all because of you!"
Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They began to discuss countermeasures and how to reply to Chan School.
An hour later, Bai Ze maintained the posture of an auspicious beast and flew over from the sky. Beside him was a burly man wearing a bull nose ring. He was the "Ren School Mount Team" that had gone to the sea of blood to complete the preliminary investigation.
Why didn't he bring the Golden-Winged Roc along?
In fact, a few days ago, the Golden-Winged Roc had taken the initiative to call itself a junior. It wanted to carry the two "seniors", Bai Ze and the green ox, to the sea of blood to investigate.
However …
He was too fast.
The Golden-Winged Roc's speed was too terrifying. It was not affected at all in the sea of blood. However, that way, Bai Ze did not have the time to sense whether it was dangerous or safe. The Golden-Winged Roc collided with it.
Moreover, if it flew too fast, it would not be able to investigate carefully. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Hence, the Golden-Winged Roc could only wave with tears in its eyes. It bade farewell to the two outstanding talents in the Primordial World's mount industry and took the initiative to patrol the surroundings of the Heavenly Soldiers' camp.
Not long after, Bai Ze, who maintained the posture of an auspicious beast, entered the main tent with the humanoid Golden-Winged Roc and the green ox.
Li Changshou went forward to welcome them and invited the green ox and the Golden-Winged Roc to take a seat. Bai Ze walked to the back of Li Changshou's seat and lay down gracefully.
A Heavenly Soldiers' commander, who did not deserve to have a mount, said, "Did the two of you discover anything?"
The green ox shook his head. "Everything is in a mess. I've searched every corner. There's no trace of the negative karma red lotus."
Bai Ze pondered for a while and said, "Could this be a ploy by the Western Sect to deliberately disturb us?"
"Ahem." Li Changshou raised his hand and coughed. He smiled and said, "That should be true.
At that time, the matter of the Netherworld Reincarnation Pagoda had just been resolved. Because I faced the pressure of the Saint and schemed too much, my mind could not hold on. I was very tired … "
"Water God!"
Wei Shenmo's eyes were filled with shame. He stood up and cupped his hands. "It's been hard on you for the people of the world!"
Bai Ze turned his head and could not bear to look at him. The Golden-Winged Roc's eyes were filled with admiration. The green ox nodded in agreement.
Li Changshou did have a lot of experience in saving the people and calming them down.
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, "Let's get down to business first. I'm not acting pitiful.
That time, I fell asleep in a daze and my mind relaxed. A wisp of Heavenly Dao power took advantage of the situation and condensed such a scene in my heart. "
Li Changshou opened his left hand, and a faint cloud surged out of his palm. The scene that he had seen in his dream appeared.
Blood Lotus and Lao Dao.
Wei Shenmo was puzzled. "At that time, why didn't the Water God remove the blood lotus?"
"I'm worried that the Great Tribulation is deliberately luring me," Li Changshou said seriously. "Moreover, I'm busy establishing the Immortal Alliance and can't split my attention. If I want to destroy the blood lotus, the Heavenly Dao can just send down the Heavenly Punishment. Why would I need to do anything?"
Wei Shenmo agreed. He nodded and sighed. "The Water God is indeed unable to split his attention."
Bai Ze said, "How can we ignore the instructions of the Heavenly Dao?"
Li Changshou sighed and said, "It's been two times. I haven't accumulated any merit. I really lack energy when I do things."
Rumble!
A muffled thunder suddenly sounded above his head. Li Changshou hurriedly changed his words.
"For the stability of the world and the well-being of living beings, so what if there's no merit?
Mr. Bai, don't mention anything about merit again! "
Bai Ze's goatee trembled. Then, he lowered his head and admitted it. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Wei Shenmo pulled the topic back to business and said worriedly,
"Since we can't find any traces of the red lotus, how should we deal with the current situation?
Now, more and more Qi Refinement cultivators are rushing to the Blood Sea. There are endless conflicts with the Asura Clan. If we delay for a few more days, the situation will probably go out of control. "
Li Changshou said, "Marshal, don't be anxious. You have to maintain a clear mind and not panic.
Firstly, we have to continue searching for the whereabouts of the red lotus. Later, we will meet Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener and see if the divine beast that can only listen to the thoughts of the living beings of the Three Realms can bring us some good news.
Secondly, the Celestial Court has to issue a notice to protect the Netherworld.
The Blood Sea could be in chaos, but the Netherworld was the land of reincarnation. It could not be in chaos.
Thirdly, he had to think of a way to pull the immortals of Chan School and Jie School together and talk about the matter.
Firstly, he had to ensure that the red lotus was controlled by the Celestial Court and the Dao Sect. If he wanted to destroy it, he had to leave it for discussion.
There's no time to lose. Marshal, let's go to the Reincarnation Pagoda to look for Truth Listener. "
"I'll go with you." Wei Shenmo stood up. "The Reincarnation Pagoda is not far anyway."
Li Changshou agreed readily. He turned around and … tilted his head in confusion.
Bai Ze, who had been maintaining the posture of an auspicious beast, was walking elegantly. His body was surrounded by colorful lights, and the colorful feathers on his head flickered with seven-colored light.
The ancient auspicious beasts sought luck and avoided calamity. The ten demon generals could be said to be the best mounts of the paragons.
If he went out and sat on the back of this auspicious beast, he would not be mediocre. Every word he said was true.
What stood out was his appearance.
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart. Just as he was about to take a step forward, golden light flickered beside him. He saw the Golden-Winged Roc transform into its main body that was twenty feet long. A jade meditation cushion condensed behind it.
The son of the Primordial Phoenix was extremely fast. The Marshal of the Celestial Court was indeed the best choice for a fast mount.
If he went out and sat on the back of the Golden Roc, he could cross thousands of kilometers in an instant. He could kill thousands of enemies while laughing.
What stood out was extreme speed.
At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc and Bai Ze looked at each other with one eye. The former's eyes were filled with respect and drive. The latter's eyes were filled with confidence …
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Seriously, he really did not expect the "Asura Arena" scenario to appear on his mount.
One was a think tank, and the other was a general. Why would he need a mount? Can't I escape?
How should I choose?
I can't do a split …
"Ahem." Li Changshou pretended to cough, but a gentle cow's cry suddenly sounded from the side.
Moo ~
The green ox, who had been maintaining his burly appearance, transformed into his main body and called out to Li Changshou, "Only the Lord Sage has treatment. Don't you want to experience it?"
Li Changshou chuckled and cupped his hands. He carefully jumped onto the green ox's back … The green ox had temporarily helped Li Changshou out of trouble.
Golden light flickered in front of him and the rays of light retracted. Bai Ze and the Golden-Winged Roc returned to their human forms at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. They made an inviting gesture.
That made Wei Shenmo, who was originally hesitating whether to choose left or right, rub the tip of his nose awkwardly.
He could only ride a cloud and follow.
…
In the Golden Light Cave of the Qianyuan Mountain in the Middle Continent.
Two white clouds flew over from the northwest. On them were two Lao Dao. One was Chi Jingzi, and the other was Daoist Huang Long.
After entering the mountain-protecting array formation and rushing to the Golden Light Cave, three figures had already come out of the cave.
The elegant young man, Ling Zhuzi, bowed. The silent Perfected Yu Ding frowned slightly.
Perfected Taiyi, who was dressed in an eye-catching red robe, had a helpless smile on his lips. He seemed to have expected Chi Jingzi to come. He sighed and said, "Senior Brother, you really came."
Chi Jingzi said seriously, "Junior Brother, do you know what happened?"
"It's nothing more than a twelfth-grade Red Lotus." Perfected Taiyi pursed his lips. "Let's make this clear first. I'm not too familiar with Li Changgeng. Our relationship is not very close. Don't let me lobby him."
Chi Jingzi frowned slightly when he heard that. He said, "Firstly, this matter concerns the fate of Chan School. Secondly, it concerns the stability of the world. We have to be careful."
However, Perfected Yu Ding said, "We don't lack treasures to suppress the destiny of the sect."
Chi Jingzi continued, "However, according to Eldest Senior Brother … Even if the entire Western Sect is destroyed, it will not be enough to fill the calamity."
Huang Long sighed and said, "This matter is really troublesome."
Perfected Taiyi said calmly, "We don't lack treasures. Just watch from the sidelines.
If we really want to fight with Jie School, we have to face each other, snatch the initiative, and scold some vulgarities. Those are understandable. Dead Fellow Daoist I will not die.
However, secretly causing trouble for Jie School … That's a little. Tsk.
Is Eldest Senior Brother also affected by Deputy Hierarch Randeng? Do we really have to fight to the death with Jie School? "
Chi Jingzi was silent. Perfected Huang Long wanted to explain, but when he thought of the time when he drank with Zhao Gongming, he could only sigh softly.
Perfected Yu Ding said, "Don't send a message to Changgeng now. Otherwise, it will only make things difficult for him."
"Why?" Chi Jingzi said, "When I came, I had already written a letter and sent it to the Netherworld with a jade token."
"Then what's the point of fighting?" Perfected Taiyi could not help but complain. "Those who can determine the winner have been pushed to Jie School."
"Well?" Chi Jingzi was slightly confused.
"Ah." Perfected Yu Ding sighed. "It seems that I can only go to the Netherworld."
At the same time …
In the depths of the East Ocean, on the Three-Immortal Island, which was wrapped in fog.
