In the Great White Hall, two figures sat on the ground behind the two chairs. As they opened the gift boxes around them, they talked about a more serious topic.
When Youqin Genya arrived, only an isolation array formation was activated in the entire hall.
The Jade Emperor's incarnation, Wei Shenmo, was there. The entire hall was filled with layers of array formations. There were isolation array formations, peripheral protective array formations, and concealment array formations … There were all kinds of array formations. They were all the hard work of the immortals of the Celestial Court.
"… Someone from the Western Sect has appeared?"
"That person's cultivation level and mystical abilities should not be weak. He asked my incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, if you can give me half an incense stick."
Wei Shenmo shook his head and pursed his lips. "I want to give him three incense sticks."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "This should be the Western Sect who wants to negotiate with His Majesty and reach an alliance to plot against the Dao Sect and Jie School.
Now, His Majesty is in charge of the trend of the Great Tribulation. When the Purple Cloud Palace discusses later, His Majesty's words will be extremely important. The Western Sect can only curry favor with the Celestial Court now. "
Wei Shenmo pondered for a while and cursed, "These selfish villains. What did they do when the Celestial Court was in decline?
They fought with the Celestial Court for the Dragons and incited the demons to fight against the Celestial Court. They caused trouble everywhere and prevented the Celestial Court from prospering. For their own prosperity, they did not hesitate to harm mortals.
The Western Sect, hmph, is already rotten to the bones. "
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Actually, there's no need to be angry.
The river of time surged forward and would not be obstructed by external forces. Without the slow elimination of the old things, there would be no progress.
What was used in the ancient times was no longer feasible in the present.
If a large number of experts are destined to die in this Great Tribulation, the world should eliminate those factions that still do not know how to change. "
"Changgeng, you're right." Wei Shenmo smiled and his eyes were filled with emotions. "These fellows from the Western Sect are mixed. They have no bottom line, let alone restrain them.
Chan School valued etiquette and reputation. It was beneficial to the world. There were also some troubles with Jie School …
Chang Geng, there's something I've always wanted to discuss with you, but I don't know how to bring it up.
Why don't you guess what I'm thinking? If you can guess it correctly, I'll give you a good treasure as a congratulatory gift. How about it? "
Li Changshou: Why do I feel like the relationship between the ruler and the minister is gradually deteriorating?
Be serious, be serious.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty should be worried that I will interfere with the Great Tribulation because of my personal feelings."
"That's right." Wei Shenmo sighed. "I actually don't care about that.
The Great Tribulation is ahead, and the Deity Position is here. I already understand that the Great Tribulation this time will definitely allow the experts of the Dao Sect to fill in the Deity Position of the Celestial Court. However, I don't know how it will be carried out. The Purple Cloud Palace's discussion should be clear later.
However, Chang Geng, your answer is too general. "
Wei Shenmo smiled and said, "The gift I want to give you is extraordinary. If you don't take out some good stuff, I don't want to give it to you so easily."
Li Changshou thought about it seriously and said slowly,
"Your Majesty wants to test me and see if I can make an objective and fair decision between Chan School and Jie School.
Indeed, the immortals of Jie School valued loyalty. It was easier for the disciples to have a good impression of each other.
The immortals of Chan School were more restrained and had more rules. Most of the disciples were shrewd. Compared to the immortals of Jie School, it was easier for others to dislike them.
However, from the perspective of the Celestial Court, or rather, from the perspective of the person in charge of the Great Tribulation, he could not be biased towards them just because Jie School valued relationships and loyalty.
Compared to Chan School, there were too many disciples of Jie School. There were many negative karma living beings hidden in them. There were probably many Tribulation Takers this time.
Actually, Your Majesty does not need to worry about this. "
As he spoke, Li Changshou sighed softly.
"I will naturally stand on the side of the Dao Sect and the Western Sect.
However, in this Great Tribulation, I will only stand from the perspective of the disciples of Ren School in the face of Chan School and Jie School. At the same time, I will seek more capable people for the Celestial Court and find a way to minimize the overall losses of the Dao Sect.
Otherwise … I wouldn't have been thinking of countermeasures for so many years. "
Wei Shenmo raised his hand and patted Li Changshou's shoulder.
He smiled and said, "It's been hard on you.
However, even the Senior Brothers of the Saints can't do anything about this matter. Don't worry too much about it.
There's something you might not know. Although Saints are almost omnipotent, they have to be within the rules of the Heavenly Dao. When they accepted the Primordial Violet Qi, they could not escape the Heavenly Dao sequence.
In this Great Tribulation, the game between the sects is on one level. The game between the Saints is on another level. The game between the living beings and the world is on a deeper level.
Naturally, Changgeng, you must have a deeper understanding of these than me.
It's fine as long as you know what to do. No matter what decision you make in the future, even if I don't understand, I will try my best to cooperate. Changgeng, you just need to explain a little.
Here. "
Wei Shenmo paused and took out a golden scroll from his sleeve. He pressed it into Li Changshou's arms.
"I can't give you too much, but this can be considered something that I deducted from the Heavenly Dao sequence.
Disciple-Niece Yun Xiao is a good woman. She's quite compatible with you. "
Li Changshou was stunned. He slowly opened the scroll and rich Heavenly Dao power surged towards him. The huge Heavenly Emperor Seal was extremely eye-catching, but the content was very simple …
"After investigating, Fairy Yun Xiao has a noble character, a pure Dao heart, and a righteous background. She has made many contributions to the good of Connate lifeforms, the righteousness of the Three Realms, and the stability of the world."
She was protected by the Heavenly Dao and was a blessed immortal of the Celestial Court. She did not enter the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. She was not bound by the Heavenly Book's God roll and was not injured by the God Striking Whip. She was not entangled by the calamity. "
Li Changshou stood up and bowed deeply to the Jade Emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "It's also for the sake of you not entering the calamity, Changgeng. From the looks of the situation today, if Yun Xiao really faces the calamity, you will probably be able to balance the Heavenly Dao."
Then, Li Changshou sighed in his heart. His gaze was a little complicated.
After putting the "injury-exemption decree" into his sleeve, Li Changshou sat back in his original position.
The ruler and minister looked at each other. Both of them seemed to have something stuck in their throats, but they knew that they could not say it too clearly. In the end, they only chuckled.
At that moment, Li Changshou finally confirmed one thing.
Two treasures that were not supposed to be known appeared in the decree — the Heavenly Book of Investiture of the Gods and the Holy Whip.
The Jade Emperor had long known about the background of the Great Tribulation, but he had been silent. He quietly waited for the Saints of the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss the matter of the God-Conferment.
The reason he could be chosen by the Dao Ancestor as the ruler of the Three Realms was definitely not because of the "Dao Ancestor Boy".
It would be better to say that the Dao Ancestor had long chosen the ruler of the Three Realms. He was just guarding by his side to polish his temperament and wait for an opportunity. He had been planning since ancient times until today.
It would be foolish to underestimate the Heavenly Emperor.
Wei Shenmo said, "The Western Sect wants to beg for mercy now. Let's drag them out and wait for the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss the matter.
In the next few decades, the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm should be relatively stable.
Changgeng, what else does the Celestial Court need to do? "
"There's no need to do too much. Continue expanding and recruiting experts."
Li Changshou said seriously, "Your Majesty, you arranged the ceremony today to investigate the relationship between the Immortal Sects of the Three Sects and the disciples of the Three Sects of the Dao Sect, right?
I've been considering this matter previously, but the conclusion is not optimistic. "
"Oh …"
Wei Shenmo's eyes lit up. "That's right!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Fine, I won't think about it then.
Wei Shenmo pondered carefully for a while and asked, "But Changgeng, why do we need so many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals?
Even if a million Heavenly Soldiers face an expert above the Zenith Heaven, if the other party does not care about negative karma, it will only be a matter of waving his sleeve. "
Li Changshou said seriously, "The significance of the Celestial Court's rapid expansion is to establish a stable order in the future. This is actually the key to whether the Celestial Court can truly prosper and not be restrained by the great sects in the future."
"Wait."
Wei Shenmo frowned and widened his eyes.
He suddenly scolded jokingly, "You really hid it! Why didn't you say that previously?
Is it within your plan for me to use this decree as a congratulatory gift? If I don't take out this Tribulation Exemption decree, are you going to use these schemes to threaten me? "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can't be so calculative."
"I'm going back on my word. Return the decree! I'll see if I want to give it to you later! "
Li Changshou's figure flashed and appeared 30 feet away. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mortals still pay attention to not joking. Your Majesty, you are the Heavenly Emperor. How can you go back on your word?"
"You kind-looking thief, Changgeng!"
Wei Shenmo scolded jokingly, "Hurry up and tell me. If you can't satisfy me, I'll deduct this decree later and make the previous Tribulation Exemption decree invalid."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I guarantee that I'll arrange it clearly."
Li Changshou chuckled and maintained the appearance of a young Daoist. He was worried and set up a barrier around him.
"Today, I will definitely explain the follow-up of the twelve strategies to Your Majesty and help the Celestial Court prosper.
Let's start from today's matter.
Your Majesty, you know many details about the Great Tribulation. Perhaps you can't say it now … What I'm going to say next is my speculation. If I accidentally say it correctly, you can pretend that you didn't hear me. "
Wei Shenmo waved his hand. Golden light appeared around him, and the power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped the place.
"Feel free to speak your mind."
Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts and paced around the side for a while.
"After the meeting in the Purple Cloud Palace, the Middle Continent and the East Continent will definitely be in chaos.
There are only three to six strategies for the Western Sect. I have already listed them all. The most likely one is to use the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools.
The Immortal Sects of the Three Schools were inextricably linked to the disciples of the Three Schools. It was also related to the overall strength and reputation of the Three Schools.
The Western Sect would definitely secretly fan the flames and use the attacks of the two Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent to make Jie School and Chan School gradually oppose each other and accumulate hatred.
The human heart was uncontrollable. Although there were many disciples of the Saints of Jie School, they were only a very small number compared to the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Middle Continent and the Trichiliocosm.
In other words, this matter would definitely happen. However, the timing and scale of it were uncertain.
If Chan School and Jie School were incompatible, the Western Sect could take the opportunity to bind themselves with Chan School and achieve the goal of targeting Jie School and safely surviving the Great Tribulation.
The Western Sect's actions are in line with the Heavenly Dao's expectations of the Great Tribulation, which is to reduce the power of living beings. "
Wei Shenmo nodded slowly and said, "Then, what should we do?"
Li Changshou continued,
"Just like what I said previously, we can only expand the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
While the Middle Continent was in chaos, it would be more convenient for the Celestial Court to recruit some Gold God realm experts and increase the strength of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
The Celestial Court belonged to the Heavenly Dao. The immortals of the Celestial Court and the soldiers of the Celestial Court would not be listed as the burden of the world. Instead, they would be used as the power to strengthen the world.
From the perspective of stability of the world, the faster the Celestial Court developed in this Great Tribulation, the more powerful it was, and the fewer living beings needed to die in the Great Tribulation.
Of course, that was decided by the Heavenly Dao.
As long as the Celestial Court's strength increases to a certain extent and cooperates with the power of the Immortal Alliance or the Heaven Ascension Hall, they can attack at any time. They can set things right and establish order in the Middle Continent. "
Wei Shenmo's eyes were filled with light. He asked, "What order?"
"The Immortal Sect revered the orders of the Celestial Court and was bound by the Celestial Court!
Between the Middle Continent and the South Continent, build the Celestial Court checkpoint and establish the Heavenly Dao Wall to restrict immortals from entering the mortal world.
In cooperation with the development of the Shang Clan, which had already obtained the Heavenly Fate, in the South Continent, when the Shang Clan unified the prosperous land of the South Continent, they would sweep away the kings and nobles who had used immortal medicines to extend their lifespans.
The immortal contract that I had set with the leader of the Shang Clan back then could be completely effective.
With both methods, the mortals of the human race could completely escape the oppression of the Immortal Dao factions!
However, Your Majesty, remember that you have to preserve the path for mortals to seek immortality in the north. Don't cut off the path for mortals to ascend. Only then can you ensure that the destiny of the Celestial Court and the human race will not be separated.
At that time, if the immortal sect wanted to accept disciples, they would have to apply to the Celestial Court before they could enter the South Continent to choose disciples.
If there were demons causing chaos in the mortal world, cultivators could also kill them and use them to earn Heavenly Dao merit.
At that time, the immortal sects of the Middle Continent would provide an endless stream of immortal disciples to become the source of troops for the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court would have a complete army and a powerful army. When the Great Tribulation of the three sects descended, the Deity Positions would be filled and they would prosper!
Immortals and mortals can be separated, but the world is connected! "
Wei Shenmo clapped and laughed. He pondered carefully and asked, "So what if it's the trichiliocosm?
Although the mortals of the South Continent are the foundation of the destiny of the world, the living beings in the trichiliocosm are also living beings. Their destiny is less, but they should be the same.
Moreover, there are many hidden demons in the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom, and the immortal sects that occupy the land … "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you should know better than me what the second-rank Deity Positions are."
"Are you talking about the Four Imperial Lords?"
"As long as the Celestial Court stabilizes the order of the five continents, the trichiliocosm will only happen sooner or later. It's just that the form is different."
Li Changshou paused and looked at Wei Shenmo.
"Your Majesty, I'm a disciple of Ren School and also from the Dao Sect.
Some of these strategies are actually against the interests of the Dao Sect. However, they are beneficial to the world, the living beings, and the future Dao Sect.
I hope Your Majesty will always remember what Your Majesty said in the cabin when you and I were traveling in the West Sea.
The authority of the world, the Three Realms, and all living beings will be in your hands. If Your Majesty's thoughts deviate, all living beings will be destroyed. "
Wei Shenmo pondered for a while. His eyes were filled with emotions. He looked at Li Changshou with a complicated gaze.
He smiled and said, "Changgeng is always by my side. I will not take the wrong path."
Li Changshou smiled warmly and did not say anything else.
After all, he cultivated the Inaction Dao Fruit.
