This decree …
In an unknown corner of the secret underground chamber of Xiao Qiong Mount, Li Changshou, who had transformed into a pocket-sized human, sat on a small bamboo chair and played with the golden scroll in his hand.
Did the Jade Emperor protect Yun Xiao because he protected Long Ji?
That explanation seemed reasonable, but on further thought, that was not the case.
It took a long time to condense a Heavenly Dao decree, let alone a decree that involved the Great Tribulation.
The moment the decree began to condense, it must have been before he took in Long Ji as his disciple.
From this, it could be seen that his "friendship" with the Jade Emperor could still be trusted …
About 70%.
After all, the Jade Emperor was in a position where it was easy for him to be helpless.
This tribulation-exemption decree could be used as a betrothal gift to propose to the Three-Immortal Island.
Just kidding.
The relationship between the two of them had not reached that stage. Moreover, this "tribulation-exemption decree" only protected Yun Xiao. What would Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao think?
That item could only be used as a life-saving item at critical moments to protect Yun Xiao from the calamity. As for the rest …
That was still a different matter.
Thinking about it carefully, it did not matter much whether there was this decree or not.
He had a good impression of Yun Xiao. What he was most worried about was that the Three Xiao Immortals were originally one. The Three Xiao Immortals and Grandpa Chao had a deep relationship.
Therefore, Li Changshou had been putting in a lot of effort to help Grandpa Chao accumulate merit and escape the death tribulation.
If he wanted to save Yun Xiao, he had to save the four of them together.
If this chance to live alone was revealed to Yun Xiao ahead of time, Yun Xiao's stubborn nature might personally destroy it.
Fortunately, there was a slight improvement now.
Although Li Changshou could not say that he had absolute confidence in pulling Grandpa Chao out of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he still had a chance of protecting Grandpa Chao.
Come on steadily.
The Shang Dynasty had yet to be officially established. The Great God-Conferment Tribulation would officially descend in at least a few hundred years.
Due to the different levels of intelligence obtained, the subsequent games between the various parties would definitely become very complicated.
The heavenly secrets were blinded, and the Saints could only investigate the matter of the Great Tribulation. The extent that each Saint could see was naturally different.
Decades later, as long as the God roll was released, the Taiqing master would probably be able to instantly understand what had happened before and after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
Second Uncle-Master should have deduced slightly more than Third Uncle-Master. The Saint of Guidance should be on par with the two Uncle-Masters. Goddess Nuwa was probably obsessed with the power of a homebody and did not have the mood to pay attention to this matter.
As for a certain Lord Sage …
Maintain respect and don't comment too much.
From the information revealed in the decree, the Jade Emperor had long known many details of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It was even possible that the Jade Emperor and the Dao Ancestor were discussing how to expand the Celestial Court and suppress the Dao Sect.
Li Changshou had yet to confirm what had happened when His Majesty went to the Purple Cloud Palace to complain and what he had said to the Dao Ancestor.
This matter could be ranked among the top ten unsolved mysteries of the Primordial World …
No matter what, the decree was an exceptionally precious item. It could be considered a promise that the Jade Emperor had given him.
Li Changshou carefully put it away and kept it close to his body. He was in a daze for a while as the scenes during the immortal banquet surfaced in his mind.
After the Jade Pool Banquet, the Great Daoist Master immediately rushed back to Xuandu City.
During that period of time, the otherworldly demons began to stir again. The strange living beings in the Chaos Sea seemed to want to fish in troubled waters.
Yun Xiao naturally returned to the Three-Immortal Island with Fairies Qiong and Bi.
Yun Xiao had also received many congratulatory gifts during the celebration, which made Li Changshou feel a little embarrassed.
It felt a little like he had "come up with all sorts of excuses" in his previous life.
What interested Li Changshou was the performance of Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
He did not know how the two of them were getting along. They did not communicate during the immortal banquet, but they would occasionally look at each other. When they left, they would accompany their friends.
Embarrassed to announce it to the public?
That was reasonable. After all, they were all mighty figures of the Primordial World. If they became Dao companions like Postnatal living beings, they could not help but be teased behind their backs.
"Will Yun Xiao have the same concerns?"
Li Changshou thought about the problem that he had considered many times before. His attention returned to the Celestial Court and he controlled the paper effigy to set up an array formation in the Great White Palace.
Add a little detail!
The incarnation traveled thousands of kilometers while the main body sat at home.
The mystical ability of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts had been modified by Li Changshou to the point where it was beyond recognition but rather mystical. It could already be considered a miracle.
The mystical ability of casting beans to form soldiers was now widely used in various departments of the Celestial Court. It had become the standard for the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, greatly reducing the casualties of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
The arrangements for Yang Jian later had to be made with the paper effigy as the core.
If Yang Jian really killed the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, the Celestial Court would not be in line with the values that the Celestial Court advocated …
After getting busy in the Celestial Court for a while, he saw Long Ji change into a light dress and fly to the Great White Palace on a cloud. She entered the Great White Hall.
Li Changshou's paper effigy found a seat and sat down. He put on the airs of an expert of Ren School. His white hair and eyebrows revealed a calm expression. The smile on his lips was naturally benevolent and gentle.
Long Ji bowed forward. Her face was fair and flushed, and her eyes were bright and clear.
Li Changshou sized up his eldest disciple. This was actually the first time Li Changshou had looked at her carefully after Long Ji had "grown up in seclusion".
She was a beauty and looked somewhat similar to the Queen Mother. However, she did not have the might of the Queen Mother. She was more gentle and elegant.
"Teacher," Long Ji said softly, "What's wrong?"
"In the blink of an eye, you've grown so big."
Li Changshou casually summoned a meditation cushion and asked her to sit in front of him.
Then, Li Changshou took out the manual of Ren School that he had asked for instructions in front of the portrait of Taiqing — the "Taiqing Dao" that the Great Daoist Master had passed to him.
Li Changshou said, "Today, I'll teach you the Dao of Taiqing. I hope you can comprehend and cultivate well.
You have already cultivated to the Heaven Immortal realm and are not far from immortality. It's not appropriate for you to change your Dao. You still have to focus on the Dao that you originally cultivated and use the 'Taiqing Dao' as a supplement to comprehend.
There is no high or low Dao. The most important thing in cultivation is to walk out of your own Dao. Do you understand this logic? "
Long Ji hurriedly nodded and held the jade token in her hand. She answered seriously, "I will remember Master's teachings."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "There's no need to be too reserved. Just call me Teacher like how you did previously.
However, you can't lie to me. Cultivating in seclusion can only make your Dao Body grow, but your personality is difficult to change. "
"Hehe!"
Long Ji immediately made a face and said softly, "It's really great to be able to officially acknowledge you as my master."
"Why did you splash tea on Daoist Randeng that day?"
Long Ji frowned and said softly, "I really don't know.
"I really don't know. Just as you guessed, Master, I was indeed in a trance. When I opened my eyes, I had already caused trouble.
Ah, the rules of the Jade Pool are extremely strict.
If Master did not protect me back then, Randeng would have used the opportunity to criticize me. Mother would have definitely punished me severely. I might not even be able to stay in the Heavenly Palace. "
Li Changshou nodded slowly and said warmly, "His Majesty and the Goddess are in charge of the Heavenly Imperial Court. It's actually understandable that they are too strict with their children."
"I know, Master." Long Ji smiled and said, "I was born in the Heavenly Emperor's family. I can't embarrass my father and mother.
Being able to become Master's disciple has fulfilled my wish for many years.
Master, can I stay in the Grand White Palace? "
"You should spend more time with your mother."
Li Changshou looked apologetic and said, "If there's nothing else, I have to cultivate. I can only explain the Taiqing Dao to you regularly."
"Oh." Long Ji pursed her lips and pouted her lower lip. Suddenly, she blinked and asked, "Master, where are you cultivating? Can I serve you?"
Li Changshou pursed his lips. "You have an Aunt-Master to take care of me. Don't worry."
"Aunt-Master?" Long Ji's eyes lit up. "Is … is it Aunt-Master?"
"That's right."
Long Ji's eyes immediately burned with the flames of gossip. She asked in surprise, "Master, apart from Aunt-Master's wife, do you have a little mistress?"
"Probably …"
"Doesn't Aunt-Master Yun Xiao mind?"
"She should mind. This is also a thorny problem." Li Changshou looked helpless. "Don't ask too much. If I can let you know in the future, I will let you know."
"Oh, I've said too much."
Long Ji stuck out the tip of her tongue and could not help but blink. She asked softly, "Then, what about Fairy Heng 'e?"
Crack!
Long Ji exclaimed and covered her forehead. She chuckled guiltily.
Li Changshou shook his head and said, "Go to the corner over there and take a look. I've prepared some surprises for you."
"Huh? Master, why are you still bothering? "
Long Ji immediately perked up and ran to the corner happily. She stepped into a concealment array formation that Li Changshou had just set up and saw a simple cubicle. There were beds, chairs, and wooden cabinets inside. The layout was very elegant.
Long Ji hurriedly asked, "Teacher, is this where I rest?"
"That's where I placed my incarnation. Your surprise is in the left corner. Pick up the pink treasure pouch on the table … Open it and take a look."
"Eh, there are three huge boxes inside. They're …"
In the concealment array formation, Long Ji's forehead was filled with black lines. She looked at the opened wooden box in front of her and the familiar "homework" scroll inside. Her eyes gradually lost their luster.
Li Changshou's calm voice floated over.
"These are the strategy questions that you have yet to complete. I've carefully sorted them out for you.
Finish them within a year. Come back a year later. I will test you on strategies and your comprehension of the Dao of Taiqing. "
Ding …
On the fourth day of taking in a disciple, he achieved the Longevity Achievement: "Benevolent Master and Filial Disciple".
On the fourth day of taking in a disciple, he obtained the Longevity Emblem: "Master, please be a human."
At that moment, the Golden-Winged Roc that had rushed over from outside the hall was filled with envy.
However, he also knew that his comprehension and aptitude were too poor. Although he was the son of the Primordial Phoenix, he was temporarily not qualified to officially become his teacher's disciple!
He was not worthy!
Li Changshou's voice came from the front. "Golden Roc seems to be in a hurry. Is there any trouble?"
"Teacher!"
The Golden-Winged Roc immediately stopped its reverie and took out a jade token from its chest pocket. It handed it to Li Changshou and said seriously,
"The Celestial Alliance just reported that they found a few ferocious demons in a Great Thousand World. They are very strong and caused dozens of Celestials to die.
The Vice Alliance Master of the Immortal Alliance, Old Madam Bian's jade talisman is here. She wants you to send one or two experts to help. "
"Ominous Demon?"
Li Changshou opened the jade talisman and looked at it carefully for a while. He couldn't help but be speechless.
The dozens of immortals from the Immortal Alliance dying were fake. The words hinted that there was an ancient treasure at the place where the ferocious demons were. It was very likely that it was a fragment of the God-Slaying Spear.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and took out a few paper effigies from his sleeve. He used his immortal power to push them into the Golden-Winged Roc's hand.
"Golden Roc, I'll leave this matter to you. It should be related to the God-Slaying Spear fragment."
"Thank you for your trust, Teacher!"
The Golden Roc lowered his head and bowed. His eyes were filled with excitement.
Li Changshou asked, "Don't be anxious. How do you want to deal with this matter?"
The Golden Roc pondered carefully and knew that his teacher was testing him. The golden bracelet on his ankle shone gently.
He said, "I'll naturally meet up with Old Madam Bian and ask her about the details. I'll help the Celestial Court comfort the injured immortals. Then, I'll quickly kill the ferocious demons and promote the power of the Celestial Court."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's not bad that you can think of this, but it's still not enough.
You have to keep three principles in mind.
Firstly, when you walk outside, you can't trust anyone. You have to be suspicious at all times.
Secondly, you have to check yourself at all times and ask yourself if it's risky or inappropriate.
Thirdly, if you encounter danger, retreat immediately and maximize your speed. You can't be greedy or angry. Now that the Great Tribulation is spreading, you can't be too careful. "
When the Golden Roc heard that, its eyes were filled with gratitude. It lowered its head and bowed deeply.
"Teacher, don't worry. I will seek victory steadily. If I encounter a powerful enemy, I will immediately retreat!"
"Yes." Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction. "Go."
"Teacher, Senior Sister, I'll take my leave."
The Golden Roc cupped his hands at Long Ji, who was floating over from the side. He turned around and walked away. He walked out of the sad and stirring atmosphere of the wind and the remaining pride of the phoenix race.
Long Ji pursed her red lips and could not help but tilt her head.
Is this really the "Mad Bird" Golden Roc who barged into the Heavenly Courts while chatting and threatening to kiss Heng 'e?
Long Ji sighed. She looked at her master with admiration and a little reverence.
It was said that it was difficult to change one's character. That was because he had not met an expert!
My master is really …
Too stable.
A few months later, Li Changshou received good news from the Golden Roc. The God-Slaying Spear fragment in his hand had successfully increased by one.
Li Changshou did not wait long. He brought the Golden Roc to the Tushita Palace.
This time, the Grand Supreme Elder went out to travel again. He had already expected Li Changshou to come, so he asked Li Changshou to place the God-Slaying Spear and the two God-Slaying Spear fragments in the Tushita Palace. The Grand Supreme Elder would refine them when he returned.
Li Changshou could not help but ask,
"The Grand Supreme Elder … went to look for an ox?"
Little Gold and Little Silver looked at each other. The former laughed out loud, while the latter put on a bitter expression.
Little Gold said, "The Grand Supreme Elder went out on the cloud this time. From what the Grand Supreme Elder said, he seems to be going to the Chaos Sea to search for the fragments of the God-Slaying Spear and help Senior Brother Changgeng forge a divine weapon."
Little Silver sighed and said, "Senior Brother, go and urge the old ox when you're free. I don't know where he went. There are no Spirit Pills or immortal peaches outside. I really don't know what treasure he was charmed by."
It's the silver-haired girl. The silver-haired girl.
Li Changshou thought for a while and agreed.
"I'll think of a way to find his traces. Do you have any useful treasures?"
"This!"
Little Silver took out an immortal rope that flickered with golden light. "This is the Golden Canopy Rope that the Grand Supreme Elder uses to tie his robe. The end of the rope can point in the direction of the living being. When you encounter this living being, you can tie it up.
We've gathered the aura of the ox. "
"That's good." Li Changshou took the Golden Canopy Rope and smiled. "It will probably take some time."
"Senior Brother Changgeng, just get busy with your business first." Little Silver chuckled. "Anyway, the next time the Grand Supreme Elder wants to use an ox, it'll be Little Gold's turn."
Little Gold's face instantly turned bitter. The Golden Roc laughed at the side.
Before he left, the Golden Roc even bowed to the two boys.
The ship of friendship between the three demon kings began to ripple just like that …
Yes, it even crossed a mountain.
…
Li Changshou naturally did not dare to delay the important matters of the Tushita Palace.
When the paper effigy secretly sent the Golden Canopy Rope to the vicinity of the Duxian Gate, Li Changshou immediately began to make arrangements. He quickly sent out the first paper effigy army outside the Xiao Qiong Mount.
Of course, the army existed in the form of a doll. In reality, the one who went out was the 'coachman' paper effigy who had a wisp of the power of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.
He held the Golden Canopy Rope in his hand and gently floated up, pointing it towards the south.
Li Changshou used Water Escape and sped all the way, searching for traces of the green ox.
The ox was indeed outrageous. It only cared about pursuing its own happiness and had even put aside the career of the mount.
When he arrived at a certain spot on the coast of the East Ocean in the South Continent, Li Changshou had a thought. His body transformed from the water and turned into a gust of wind. He floated to a familiar area and visited the one he had placed there …
The Little River God.
The last time, he had deliberately taken revenge on the River God. He had brought the River God to see three good places that had already been occupied by the Dragons. He reckoned that it had made him very depressed.
At that time, he was indeed a little angry. Now that his anger had subsided, it was better to change him to a more normal place and mix some incense offerings and merit to condense a simple Merit Dharma body.
The dignified Taibai Jinxing, an ordinary authoritative god of the Celestial Court, could he be bothered with the Little River God, who was not even of the same grade and was not even considered an Itinerant Immortal of the Celestial Court?
Not long after, Li Changshou found the place where the River God's weak divine power was. He happened to see a young woodcutter carrying a bundle of firewood pass by.
His divine power fluctuated slightly?
Li Changshou looked over. His eyes shone with a blue light. He immediately saw the scholarly River God, who was hiding at the riverbank and using his divine power to "steal" the axe.
What?
Are all the myths and fables that have been circulating in my previous life created this way?
With a thud, the axe landed in the river.
The young woodcutter did not move at all. He even sighed and turned his head tiredly.
At that moment, golden light flickered on the surface of the river. A figure in an elegant robe appeared in the river …
"Young woodcutter, did you drop this Golden Inlaid Jade Axe, or this Dark Iron Heavy Axe, or this ordinary ancestral axe?"
The young woodcutter frowned and pursed his lips. He sighed and said,
"Every time a woodcutter passes by, you will attack. Every time, you will use Dharma spells to create this kind of illusion. Then, you will secretly put the axe back in our house. Is there any meaning in doing that?
The immortals and ghosts that the young man in the neighboring village encountered were all young women. Only you are a male immortal in our village. Our village is very embarrassed now. We can't raise our heads in a radius of 300 kilometers. The girls don't want to marry over. They are afraid that you will suddenly appear when they cross the river!
You have been using this for so long. Can you ask for a change? "
After saying that, the woodcutter shook his head and left with the firewood. He left the River God looking down at the axe in his hand and retreating into the river with a dejected expression.
He failed again …
Thud!
Thud thud!
There was a series of heavy objects smashing into the river.
The River God looked over and saw gold and silver axes falling on the bottom of the river. At the same time, a Dharma spell appeared in his heart.
This, this is?
Transformation spell!
At the same time, a few chuckles sounded in the River God's ears. It was so familiar and so warm.
"As an immortal, of course, happiness is the most important thing."
On the cloud, Li Changshou's figure disappeared in a flash. He followed the direction of the golden rope and fled to the depths of the South Sea.
