When they heard the words' agreement to not fight ', the immortals had different reactions.
Li Changshou took out a few backup scrolls and spread them among the immortals of the two sects. Then, he handed the scroll in his hand to the three Eldest Senior Brothers.
The so-called agreement to not fight was not the Heavenly Dao oath that Li Changshou knew the best. It was purely an agreement.
The core content of the agreement was very simple.
"If the Chan School and Jie School declare war first before the meeting in the Purple Cloud Palace, or secretly cause trouble to provoke the other party to declare war, Ren School will help the other party with all their might."
Most of the words on the scroll were about the duration of the restriction and the situation that could be used to reduce the loopholes that could be exploited.
Not long after, the Eldest Senior Brothers of the three sects nodded. The immortals of the two sects also felt that that was not bad.
It was reasonable for some immortals of Chan School to be dissatisfied with that. After all, they had signed the agreement not to fight. The two sects could not start a war. The twelfth-grade red lotus seemed to have fallen into the hands of Jie School …
However, if he stood up and said that now, wouldn't he be treated as a spy from the Western Sect?
Therefore, no immortals from Chan School expressed their dissatisfaction.
That was naturally within Li Changshou's consideration.
Jie School was loyal, and Chan School was famous. The former was easy to be arrogant, while the latter was wise to protect themselves.
Those were all aspects that could be calculated.
When the Eldest Senior Brothers of the three sects raised their brushes and wrote down their Dao names, apart from Ren School, three other respected disciples from both sides walked forward and wrote down their names. The "agreement" that was not a Heavenly Dao oath was reached.
The shelf life would last until the Saint Meeting in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Master Xuandu raised the scroll high and was about to give a speech that was neither generous nor passionate. However, Li Changshou suddenly whispered, "It's not over yet, Senior Brother.
It's best if there are three copies of this. The three sects will keep it. "
Master Xuandu could not help but smile and let Li Changshou continue …
An hour later, the agreement to not fight was settled.
Perfected Huang Long heaved a sigh of relief and sighed. "For some reason, I feel much more at ease now."
"Three flowers bloom on one vine. The three sects are one family.
Why fight and kill? Why don't we just sit here and drink some tea? "
"Today, we have signed the agreement not to fight. Let's go back to our cave abodes and cultivate in peace. In the future, when the three teachers discuss the number of the great tribulation in the Purple Cloud Palace, if we need to face the tribulation, we will come to the mortal world!"
"I have offended you previously. Please don't blame me, fellow disciples of Chan School."
"Our sect has also handled matters improperly …"
The tense atmosphere had finally eased up.
For the sake of face and dignity, the Immortals on both sides were speaking softly and amiably.
This was none other than:
The red lotus wanted to send out Chan Jie to help the sect survive the calamity.
Who would have thought that there would be so many schemes here, an open and deceitful scheme, a dangerous sword drawn.
A paper alliance agreement not to fight, Chang Geng's clever plan to temporarily be at peace.
The immortals of the two sects expressed their thoughts and decided to return to the mountain to cultivate.
Just as the two sects were getting along harmoniously, Chi Jingzi stroked his beard and asked, "Then... how should we deal with this red lotus?"
The top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda fell silent again.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "This matter is easy to resolve. Today, the three sects will attack together. Let's find the red lotus first and see if we can take it away.
If we can't take the red lotus away and the birth of the red lotus will cause the Three Realms to be plunged into misery and suffering, we will destroy the red lotus with all our might.
If we can take it away, we will offer the red lotus to the three teachers and let them decide how to deal with it.
What do you think? "
The immortals of Chan School pondered carefully. Letting the Saint decide was indeed the best way to deal with it.
The immortals of Jie School thought hard. As long as they could retrieve the red lotus, their master would lack such a treasure to suppress the destiny of the sect. How could the two Uncle-Masters not give in?
There was an 80% chance that it belonged to Jie School!
Hence, the immortals of the two sects nodded. The side of Chan School praised the Water God, Li Changgeng, for being resourceful. The side of Jie School lamented that their son-in-law was really siding with them.
After another round of pleasantries, Li Changshou handed the control of the venue to the three Eldest Senior Brothers and secretly told Master Xuandu where the Golden Roc was …
Then, Li Changshou went to a corner and looked at the green ox and Bai Ze. He heaved a long sigh of relief.
It was settled for the time being.
Bai Ze praised via voice transmission, "The Water God's scheme is admirable. He should be rewarded for working so hard for the Dao Sect."
The green ox also said, "Senior Brother Changgeng, you did well today!"
Li Changshou looked at the sky and put the words he wanted to say back into his stomach. He squinted and smiled. He meditated on the spot and continued to think.
After temporarily suppressing the conflict between Chan School and Jie School, he had to focus on planning the red lotus …
A moment later, Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi began to give orders.
Li Changshou had already formulated a complete plan on how to search for and obtain the red lotus. He had handed it to his senior brother, the Great Daoist Master. At that moment, he was only using Master Xuandu to say it and mobilize the immortals of the three sects.
This time, the Dao Sect wanted to enter in a high-profile manner, dissuade the itinerant cultivators and suppress the Asuras who were causing trouble.
The Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and the forces of the Netherworld were the reinforcements of the Dao Sect. If necessary, they could seal the entrance to the Netherworld.
Considering that the secret place where the red lotus was, it must be extremely dangerous. If the Dao Sect went too … ahem!
If there were too many Qi Refinement cultivators from the Dao Sect who did not have sufficient cultivation levels and did not have any treasures to protect themselves, not only would they die in vain, they would also implicate the top experts.
Therefore, in the plan that Li Changshou had set up, he would build a team of about ten people with the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects as the core.
Not long after, figures flew out of the Reincarnation Pagoda and rushed to the edge of the sea of blood to provide support.
The Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects had also chosen the experts who would accompany him. At that moment, he was waiting for two or three people to rush over.
The ones who contributed to Ren School were naturally Master Xuandu and Li Changshou.
The Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School was biased towards Perfected Taiyi. Perfected Taiyi declined and was unwilling, but he was still pushed onto the pirate ship by Perfected Yu Ding.
Jie School was the most enthusiastic.
The three Great Immortals who followed the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch today — the Great Black Clouds Immortal, the Spirit Tooth Immortal, and the Golden Hooped Immortal — took the initiative to ask for a battle but were rejected by Daoist Duobao.
The seven immortals were the seven experts who served the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch. Although their Dharma powers were deep and their abilities were not bad, they had not been bestowed with any treasures by the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch. Their overall combat strength was slightly inferior to the eight disciples of Jie School.
Among the eight disciples, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit were slightly weaker than the other five. They were also eliminated by Daoist Duobao. The other five attacked together.
Although Bi Xiao was purely sitting at home and refused to come from the netherworld, she had been watching the Three-Immortal Island and did not participate in the experience.
Regarding that, Qiong Xiao was depressed. She ran over and pouted. She called Li Changshou Brother-in-law a few times. Li Changshou could only use the excuse that he could not interfere with the decision of the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School and temporarily appeased him.
At that moment, the Dao Sect's Lotus Plucking Team was waiting for the Goddess of Wudang, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, and Fairy Yun Xiao to rush over …
In the corner, Li Changshou asked, "Mr. Bai, do you want to look for the red lotus together later?"
Bai Ze smiled and said, "If the Water God needs anything, I will naturally follow."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai," Li Changshou said seriously. "This trip is unpredictable. I can't see through the exact dangers.
The heavenly secrets are confused. With your mystical abilities to seek luck and avoid danger, you can have an additional guarantee. "
If possible, Li Changshou did not want to go to such a dangerous place. However, Teacher Taiqing had given him so many treasures and the word "go" …
The green ox smiled and said, "Senior Brother Changgeng, I'll go with you.
We don't have many disciples in Ren School. We don't have enough disciples, so we can only use mounts to make up for it. "
"How would I dare to let you enter a dangerous place?"
Li Changshou smiled and rejected. He sent a voice transmission and said, "I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Qiong Xiao later. She's impatient and likes to cause trouble. If she wants to attack secretly, use the Vajra Bracelet to put away her Golden Flood Dragon Scissors."
The old ox raised his hand and touched his nose ring. He was puzzled. "Senior Brother Changgeng, how do you know that this is a treasure refined by the Grand Supreme Elder?"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Uh, the chat was exploding.
How could I not know? Aren't you the King Chi of the future calamity of the Journey to the West? You took Monkey Sun's Golden-Hooped Rod, snatched Nezha's six-piece set, and played the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court like monkeys. In the end, the Grand Supreme Elder came before transforming into his true form and leaving.
To be honest, the abilities, background, and treasures of the One-Horned Chi were much stronger than the Bull Demon King, who had been hollowed out by alcohol and women. He could be said to be the best ox in the Journey to the West.
Li Changshou smiled calmly and did not explain.
The burly green ox blinked and came to a realization. He immediately understood something.
As for what he understood … that was not important.
Bai Ze said, "Water God, let's go over first."
"Yes." Li Changshou agreed. He tidied his robe and stood up. He raised his hand and wiped his face, transforming into a young Daoist that he often used.
He took off his white robe and changed into a green robe. He turned his long hair from silver-white to jet-black and tied it up simply.
The reason why he changed his appearance was mainly because that could arouse the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects' desire to protect him …
It was not because Yun Xiao was about to arrive that he wanted to become more handsome!
He turned around and took a step forward. The experts from the Dao Sect not far away looked over and smiled.
Dong!
Drums?
No, his Dao heart suddenly trembled!
In an instant!
It was as if he had fallen into Goddess Nuwa's "Time Stop" mystical ability. In Li Changshou's eyes, the color on the top of the pagoda suddenly faded and turned dark gray. His essence soul twitched and his spiritual perception trembled!
Danger!
That was the reaction from the paper effigy!
The few treasures that his main body carried were nothing unusual!
Li Changshou instantly snapped back to his senses. He immediately cut off the connection between his main body and the paper effigy and analyzed the few images in his heart.
On the back of the Golden-Winged Roc in the sea of blood …
The moment the strong sense of danger erupted, layers of ripples appeared in the universe in front of the paper effigy. A pitch-black spear broke through the universe and pierced his chest!
The Golden-Winged Roc, which was hiding, reacted at lightning speed. Golden feathers of light erupted around its body. However, before the feathers of light could completely erupt, the spear had already pierced through the paper effigy's chest!
The scene stopped with the ruthless cry of the Golden-Winged Roc.
That spear …
There were some distorted black shadows in the wrinkled universe …
Just the paper effigy alone made his heart tremble with a murderous aura!
Li Changshou subconsciously took half a step back. His face was a little pale, and his breathing was a little uneven.
How many more dangers are hidden in the Primordial World …
Li Changshou's sudden appearance landed in the eyes of the dozen or so immortals.
The Great Daoist Master's figure flashed and appeared in front of Li Changshou. He raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou's wrist. A peaceful aura surrounded Li Changshou.
At the same time, the spiritual perception of the Taiji Painting landed in Li Changshou's heart.
The Connate Cardinal treasure that had accompanied the Saint of Taiqing since the creation of the world was naturally knowledgeable. At that moment, it condensed into three words in Li Changshou's heart and exposed the background of the spear.
"What's wrong?" Master Xuandu asked in concern.
"Senior Brother, quick!"
Yin and Yang Qi flew out of Li Changshou's palm and turned into the Taiji Painting that returned to the Great Daoist Master's left shoulder. "In the direction I mentioned just now, the Golden-Winged Roc is in trouble. God-Slaying Spear!"
The Great Daoist Master's mind trembled and his figure disappeared. He did not leave behind any afterimages. The universe was filled with wrinkles.
The Connate Cardinal treasure, the Taiji Painting, activated by the Great Daoist Master, could display more than half of its power!
The immortals surrounded him.
Daoist Duobao asked, "What God-Slaying Spear?"
"Wasn't the God-Slaying Spear destroyed in ancient times?"
"Is it the God-Slaying Spear formed from the Chaos Green Lotus? The weapon of the Fiend Ancestor Rahu back then? "
Li Changshou took a deep breath. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda floated above his essence soul, and the Cosmic Ruler emerged from his palm. The anxiety and weakness in his heart disappeared …
Li Changshou explained, "There's no time to lose.
Let's talk about the details on the way. Let's go and help my senior brother first.
The red lotus has probably been targeted by an impressive mighty figure. A paper effigy of mine is guarding the place where the red lotus is suspected to be. I was just ambushed by a shadow holding the God-Slaying Spear.
The Golden Roc Marshal should not be a match for the God-Slaying Spear. Senior Brother, please rush over to help. "
Clouds appeared in Li Changshou's palm and quickly condensed into a few images.
Daoist Duobao waved his sleeve and took out a bronze chariot!
"There's no time to explain. Get in the car!
We've been discussing here for so long. Don't let the red lotus be snatched by others! "
Zhao Gongming, Li Changshou, and Bai Ze immediately jumped onto the carriage with Daoist Duobao.
Guang Chengzi turned to Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi and reminded them, "Don't force yourself later."
The three experts of Chan School immediately followed.
The bronze chariot was about to open. Qiong Xiao and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit lowered their heads and slipped over. They wanted to sneak in from the side.
However, the Grand Supreme Elder's green ox recalled Li Changshou's previous instructions. It immediately rushed forward and opened its arms to stop the two fairies of Jie School … The green ox smiled and said, "Let's ride a cloud over.
The green ox smiled and said, "Let's ride a cloud over. Don't cause trouble for the senior brothers."
With that delay, Daoist Duobao had already activated the Numinous Treasure War Chariot.
The universe in front of him collapsed, revealing a huge hole. The war chariot turned into a stream of light and flew in. The universe instantly returned to normal.
Qiong Xiao glared at the green ox and recalled that it was the Grand Supreme Elder's mount. She snorted in dissatisfaction and pulled the Goddess of Turtle Spirit out of the pagoda.
Once the experts of the Dao Sect left, the Reincarnation Pagoda quickly became deserted.
Ksitigarbha sat in front of the window and thought about what Li Changshou had just said. He found it strange.
"Diting?"
"Master, don't ask." Truth Listener lay down obediently. "We can't interfere in this matter. The three Eldest Senior Brothers of the Dao Sect are enough to deal with it."
Ksitigarbha frowned and pondered. He asked, "Are there any schemes of the two teachers here?"
"There should be. Let's go with the flow and add fuel to the fire."
The Harken sighed and looked up at the low sky outside the window.
"With the arrival of the great calamity, the Red Lotus will appear, and all kinds of demons and ghosts will jump out.
Since ancient times in the Primordial World, the winner was pure, and the loser was turbid. Even if these turbid people gathered together, how could they defeat the pure people who were even more powerful than before?
Instead of struggling in vain, I might as well find a place to settle down and end my days. "
"Hmm?"
Ksitigarbha glanced at the big green-furred dog beside him. "Am I also your safe haven?"
"That's impossible." The Truth Listener blinked and said righteously, "Back then, it was purely because you were resourceful, Master. It was definitely not because of your identity as the disciple of the Saint!"
"Hmph!"
Ksitigarbha flicked his sleeve and closed the various entrances and exits of the Reincarnation Pagoda. He sat there and closed his eyes to rest.
Everything had nothing to do with him.
…
It had only been a moment since Li Changshou and the other immortals of the Dao Sect left the Reincarnation Pagoda.
The sea of blood had appeared at some point in time above the huge vortex that was more than 50 kilometers in diameter. Master Xuandu was holding the Golden-Winged Roc that was covered in blood and waiting quietly.
The Dao runes of the Taiji Painting had yet to dissipate. A crushed killing aura reverberated everywhere.
In the vortex below, the universe was repairing itself. There were still remnants of the Heavenly Dao Dao runes there. It seemed that the place had suffered a Heavenly Punishment not long ago.
A round hole appeared in the universe, and the bronze chariot rumbled out.
Daoist Duobao put away the numinous treasure and the seven figures quickly rushed to the Great Daoist Master's side.
"Senior Brother!"
Li Changshou shouted and pulled Bai Ze's arm forward.
Master Xuandu, who was in a daze, turned around and gently pushed the unconscious Golden-Winged Roc to Li Changshou.
The Golden-Winged Roc was covered in blood. Its chain mail had long been shattered, and its long hair was stained with blood. There were more than twenty wounds around its body. They were all deep puncture wounds, and wisps of black gas surrounded the wounds.
Fortunately, the Golden-Winged Roc's essence soul was only slightly injured. At that moment, it was resisting the corrosion of the killing aura. There was a rich medicinal effect in its body …
Master Xuandu said awkwardly, "I was careless and let the other party escape."
Daoist Duobao asked, "How many ferocious people are there?"
"There seem to be three or four people," Master Xuandu said. "The ferocious person who ambushed Changgeng's incarnation and the Golden-Winged Roc should have deliberately diverted our attention."
Guangchengzi asked, "Senior Brother, did you see the other party's origins? Is it really the God-Slaying Spear? "
"No." Master Xuandu shook his head with a solemn expression. "That God-Slaying Spear is the God-Slaying Spear, but it is also not the God-Slaying Spear?
It was just a fusion of the remaining fragments of the God-Slaying Spear and refined again. It is far from the power of the Ancient God-Slaying Spear.
When I fought with him, the other party threw the Golden-Winged Roc over and retreated. He left a few afterimages in the universe.
The red lotus that has yet to form is on these ferocious people. "
Li Changshou handed the Golden-Winged Roc to Bai Ze to take care of it. He said, "I have a way to search for the Blood Lotus … Senior Brother, did you save my paper effigy?"
The Great Daoist Master shook his head. "The other party kidnapped your paper effigy. He seems to be looking for something in your paper effigy's storage Dharma artifact."
Huh? What are they looking for?
Li Changshou frowned and pondered. Then, his eyes lit up.
What is in my storage Dharma artifact that can interest the other party? The Flame of Heart beside Chang Bei? Some poison? Horsetail whisk?
No, none of them. It was the 99 souls that were plagued by negative karma.
To the red lotus, it should be a small tonic.
Li Changshou pondered in his heart. He paced back and forth in the sky above the sea of blood and apologized to the 99 souls. He had caused their souls to dissipate. He had to burn some paper offerings later.
The Golden-Winged Roc was not seriously injured. Li Changshou's tense mind naturally relaxed.
The most important thing now was to find the location of the red lotus as soon as possible.
Li Changshou looked at Guangchengzi and Daoist Duobao. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brothers, please inform the immortals of the various sects. From now on, we will seal the sea of blood and let those who are not related leave as soon as possible.
Just say that when the red lotus erupts, it will devour the souls of living beings with lower cultivation levels to fill itself.
If it doesn't make sense, it's best to expel them directly. I will get the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to announce it everywhere. "
"Sure!"
"Yes!"
Guangchengzi and Daoist Duobao agreed and immediately sent out jade talismans.
Li Changshou paced back and forth and thought for a while. A paper effigy had already rushed to the Yama Hall. He was prepared to take dozens of souls that were plagued by negative karma and in the corners of his body to search for the red lotus.
Li Changshou's eyes lit up.
Merit!
Rays of golden light surged out of his right palm. He pulled out some merit and condensed it into a lotus flower that was wrapped in a layer of immortal power.
With the Merit Lotus Flower, Li Changshou teleported 50 kilometers away and pondered while facing the sea of blood.
He knew that negative karma and merit could offset each other. The twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus was absorbing negative karma and should have a sense of rejection towards merit …
That's not right. The red lotus does not absorb merit. There's no need to let merit leave me.
I can't make such a simple judgment.
Master Xuandu and the others rushed over from behind. They did not dare to disturb Li Changshou. Li Changshou sat cross-legged on the sea of blood and pondered quietly.
A moment later, a few beautiful figures flashed past the edge of the sea of blood. One was white, one was gold, and one was light blue. They rushed over with all their might …
Li Changshou suddenly understood the crux of the matter. He turned around and shouted, "Senior Brother Duobao, do you have any Merit Numinous Treasures to lend me!?!"
"Ahem." Master Xuandu interrupted, "Changgeng, there's no need to go through so much trouble."
"Huh?" Li Changshou could not help but be stunned.
The Great Daoist Master placed his hands behind his back and raised his chin towards the southwest. "Look over there."
Li Changshou turned around and the corners of his mouth twitched.
45,000 kilometers southwest, a blood-red pillar of light soared into the sky. Circles of light kept surging out from it, as if it was calling something …
At that moment, in the "Sky Islands" where the Asura Clan lived in the sea of blood, the eyes of the Asura men and women were filled with sanguine light.
Asura men and women's eyes were filled with blood-red light. Regardless of gender, age, or cultivation level, they all flew out of the Sky Island and converged into a torrent in the Blood Sea, heading toward the place where the blood-red light pillar appeared.
Li Changshou recognized the place under the pillar of light at a glance.
The last time he searched for the Reincarnation Pagoda, he had barged into a dragon's lair and a tiger's den. It was a large city that the experts of the Asura Clan had defended!
Li Changshou stopped and stood there. It was as if he had seen through layers of obstacles and the waves of the sea of blood. He saw the old man sitting cross-legged in the ruined hall in the middle of the city and the twelve-petal lotus that was about to bloom …
Naturally, he did not really see it. Those were just the scenes he imagined in his heart.
In reality …
In the abandoned hall, four black shadows stood in four directions. They were either holding spears or broken swords as they stared at the red lotus that was condensing the twelfth petal.
However, the negative karma gathered by the red lotus was not enough. The twelfth petal could not be condensed.
After the red lotus, the image of Patriarch Nether River appeared again. However, the image was already extremely faint …
"Do you really want to save him? Wasn't it enough for you to be bullied by him back then? "
"He is the red lotus, and the red lotus is him. He has also guarded against us during the ancient agreement."
The black shadow with the spear casually took out a cloth bag and tore it apart. He took out a spherical Dharma artifact and threw it near the blood lotus.
Wisps of negative karma flew out and were quickly absorbed by the red lotus.
Well, it's better than nothing.
