'Maitreya, this guy, could it be that he's taking advantage of my random words …
Did he gain an epiphany?
On the Xiao Qiong Mount, Li Changshou, who had just returned from the Three-Immortal Island, was muttering to himself by the lake.
He carefully pondered over his words. To an expert like Maitreya, his words really had the intention of "awakening his true self".
However, he was really just fooling around. He wanted to plant a crack in Maitreya's Dao heart.
In the past thirty years, he had studied the characteristics of the "Heavenly Demon" too much. He subconsciously wanted to mess with the enemy's mentality and create a crack in their Dao hearts.
After all, Maitreya had only sent an incarnation, and it was a rather crude incarnation of his spiritual will. Even if he killed it, it would not affect Maitreya.
The problem was that his incarnation … might not be able to defeat it.
Back then, he had used the paper effigy technique to trick Jin Chanzi and asked him to look for the "three moles".
Now, the paper effigy technique could no longer deceive others, but he had barely grasped the technique of speaking.
That was considered a small improvement!
The rumor that most of Taibai Jinxing's mystical abilities were in his mouth was not fake.
Looking at the lively chess room, Li Changshou sat back in front of the Pill Chamber, closed his eyes, and focused. He began to carefully comprehend the Great Dao of Equalization.
After the Purple Cloud Palace, until the Great Tribulation officially arrived, Li Changshou could only do a few things.
He cultivated and comprehended the Great Dao to increase his strength as much as possible.
He protected the establishment of the Shang Nation and guarded against the Western Sect.
He controlled the overall situation of the trichiliocosm and prevented the Immortal Alliance from losing control in advance.
He accumulated more paper effigies and figured out stronger anti-interference restrictions.
Now, the paper effigy that had been improved by "Chuan Xin" had the advantage of being more stable and cheaper.
Li Changshou had three main ideas. The first was to strengthen the connection between the power of his essence soul and his essence soul. That was mainly the enlightenment he had obtained from Du Shuren.
The essence soul and the Heavenly Demon were originally different forms produced by the True Spirit consciousness under the effect of different Dao laws. This "upper-class Heavenly Demon" had indeed given Li Changshou a lot of help.
The other two ideas were mainly to simplify the paper effigy restrictions and increase the protection of the restrictions.
For that, Li Changshou had also studied the High Purity Talisman for more than ten years. It could be said that he had "stolen" it from Yun Xiao.
To put it bluntly, the Saint of Ren School's curriculum was relatively simple. He paid attention to the "Dao Comprehension Technique" and "Nature has its own magical techniques". That was to let the two disciples of the Saint of Ren School comprehend the mystical abilities of the battle during the process of comprehending the Dao.
It was not that the Lord Sage had forgotten to teach him, or that he was too lazy to speak.
Now that Li Changshou had a wealth of cultivation resources, the difficulty of cultivation was only in understanding the realm.
He could easily refine spirit pills and miraculous medicines, and he did not lack precious treasures or numinous treasures.
Li Changshou did not idle the extra Spirit Stones and precious materials that he could obtain. He continued the project of the "Xiao Qiong Mount Defense Satellite" and put the "Xiao Qiong Mount Star Cannon" on the agenda.
Li Changshou had also begun a long process of nurturing the Connate Earth essence that he had obtained from the Kun Peng Residence in the Chaos Sea. It would take at least a few hundred years before he could integrate it into the overall array formation of the Xiao Qiong Mount and become the main array spirit.
At that time, if the Duxian Gate was attacked again, Ling'E would be able to control 50% of the array formations on the Xiao Qiong Mount without any pressure.
At that time …
Am I a little hindsight?
Li Changshou opened his eyes slightly and looked at the empty sky and the endless sea of clouds. He felt a little helpless.
In the end, he chose to be controlled by the Celestial Court.
As he was sighing, a jade token flew over from outside his vision. A group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were chasing after it.
Senior Brother's Dao runes?
Li Changshou waved his sleeve and sucked the jade token over. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals who were chasing after the jade token were also persuaded to retreat by Li Changshou.
He placed the jade token dozens of feet away and used his immortal senses to examine it. He looked at the simple contents inside. Li Changshou was speechless.
The otherworldly demons had gone crazy and were clamoring about attacking the Primordial World, killing Taibai Jinxing, and destroying Venus?
What?
What's going on?
Is it because I ordered the Golden Roc and Truth Listener to clean up the otherworldly demons that angered the other party, or is it because I expressed my stance and firmly rejected Kun Peng's collusion that angered Kun Peng?
He had launched several major attacks in a month. If not for the help of the Taiji Painting, Xuandu City would probably have collapsed …
Li Changshou could not help but groan and raise his hand to support his forehead.
How can I accidentally make enemies like that?
He analyzed carefully for a while and concluded that the otherworldly demons had little influence on him. However, his senior brother had mentioned the word "Saint".
The Heavenly Fiend Supremacy, the "mother" of the otherworldly demons, expressed her great anger towards Li Changshou for insulting the Saint in the spiritual will that she had sent to the otherworldly demons.
Could it be that a Connate Godfiend like the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy … has reached some kind of long-term cooperation strategy with Kun Peng?
With that doubt, Li Changshou deliberated carefully and quickly took out two expensive transcendent-grade communication jade tokens. He sent one to his senior brother and the other to the Golden-Winged Roc.
The latter jade token wrote:
"Eliminate the Heavenly Fiends and benefit all living beings. Get rid of evil and don't leave any future troubles."
Li Changshou did not dare to make his words too obvious. He could only follow the Golden Roc's personality and encourage him a little.
Otherwise, he would really be worried that the Golden Roc would be excited and give the order to "rather kill than let go". That way, he would create unnecessary killing.
In the jade token that he gave to the Great Daoist Master, Li Changshou briefly explained the cause and effect. He reminded his senior brother to be careful of the "Saint" who was most likely Kun Peng. He did not know how strong the other party was now.
After doing that, Li Changshou split his attention and circled the trichiliocosm and the five continents of the Primordial World.
The Immortal Alliance was stable, and the Heaven Ascension Hall was fine. After visiting his friends, the black leopard continued to cultivate in seclusion, as if nothing had happened.
In the Netherworld, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou's soul was about to be repaired and he would walk the path of reincarnation again. Later, he would go over and send the Sect Leader off.
Continue cultivating.
Before he became an immortal, he could almost break through a small realm with one epiphany. If he did not suppress it with all his might, it would not be difficult for him to become an immortal.
Now, he might not be able to break through the barrier in front of him even after dozens of epiphanies. He had to spend a certain amount of time comprehending the Dao.
Without effort, how could he gain anything?
Li Changshou sighed softly. A gentle breeze blew out from his body, and rays of golden light appeared behind him. The portrait formed by the Great Dao of Equalization fluttered in the wind.
Ahem, I've slapped my face. I accidentally broke it again.
That reminded Li Changshou of the saying that the joys and sorrows of the world were not interconnected.
He just felt that he had broken through too quickly and his Dao base was a little unstable.
Just as he was about to enter seclusion to stabilize his realm, Ling Zhuzi rushed over outside the Grand White Palace, as if there was something urgent.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and arranged for the newly changed "main body" paper effigy to go out. He transformed into the fixed appearance of Taibai Jinxing and floated forward with his horsetail whisk.
Ling Zhuzi bowed and explained what had happened.
In the past few years, Yang Jian, who was cultivating on the Jade Spring Mountain, had reached a bottleneck and could not break through for a long time. That was unusual for Qi Refinement cultivators who mainly cultivated their physical bodies.
Cultivating the physical body was different from cultivating the essence soul. If the latter was stuck at peace, it would not be surprising for it to not break through for hundreds of thousands of years.
However, cultivating the physical body could at least increase his strength. Yang Jian had not improved at all in the past few years.
Ling Zhuzi said, "Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master Yu Ding said that your comprehension of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art is extremely deep. I'm afraid you're the only one in the world who can guide Junior Brother Yang Jian.
Uncle-Master Yu Ding wants you to send a paper effigy over. My master is already at the Jade Spring Mountain. "
"Yes." Li Changshou's expression was rather solemn. He asked Ling Zhuzi to wait.
He immediately prepared a few paper effigies. He changed his aura and Dao runes, hid his face, and entered Ling Zhuzi's sleeve. He asked Ling Zhuzi to bring him to the Jade Spring Mountain.
What's wrong with Yang Jian?
As one of the Great Tribulation Sons, his potential was rather extraordinary. He cultivated the "perfect cultivation technique" of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art that did not have many bottlenecks …
"Uncle-Master," Ling Zhuzi asked via voice transmission. "Junior Brother Yang Jian seems to have a grudge against the Celestial Court. Will it affect his Dao heart in the long run?"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's fine. Senior Brother Yu Ding's Dao can protect Yang Jian's Dao heart."
"But why … Ling Zhuzi knows that Uncle-Master is definitely not the villain who harmed Junior Brother Yang Jian's family. Why didn't you tell him the truth earlier?"
Ling Zhuzi's delicate face was filled with confusion.
Li Changshou smiled and asked, "What do you think of Yang Jian's previous cultivation level?"
"It can be said to be advancing at a rapid pace. It's really a little scary."
"A large part of this comes from the obsession in his heart," Li Changshou said. "Actually, I can't eliminate the demons in his heart even if I explain to him.
Back then, he was still a young child. Fairy Yun Hua's family was schemed against. No matter how he explained who controlled the Heavenly Soldiers' minds, the ones who killed Yang Jian's father and eldest brother were the Heavenly Soldiers of the Celestial Court.
Instead of explaining to him and letting him temporarily hide the demons in his heart, it would be better to turn the demons into his obsession and let him vent the emotions that had accumulated in his heart.
The human race is weak. They do not have a powerful Dao Body or a natural essence soul. It is not easy to quickly become an immortal or a god. "
Ling Zhuzi fell into deep thought. After flying out of the Celestial Court, his body turned into a stream of light and landed in the Middle Continent.
"However, Uncle-Master, he went out to train twice. I don't know where he heard the rumors that Uncle-Master and the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court were his enemies who killed his father.
He asked me a few times what kind of person Uncle-Master is. Because of your previous instructions, I don't know how to answer every time. "
"It's fine. Don't let it slip. Otherwise, Senior Brother Yu Ding and my efforts will be in vain." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have my own arrangements."
Ling Zhuzi wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he pursed his lips and nodded. He flew even faster.
…
Four hours later, in the Jade Spring Mountain.
Li Changshou, who had transformed into a beardless version of Zhao Gongming, hid in the clouds with Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi. They looked at the young Daoist who was meditating in the forest and discussed Yang Jian's "illness" without much excitement.
Li Changshou quickly concluded that Yang Jian's bottleneck was not because of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, but because his Dao heart was confused.
Perfected Taiyi said, "I think you guys are just spoiling him too much. He's just stuck at a bottleneck for a few years. With our current cultivation, which one of us hasn't encountered a dilemma for hundreds or thousands of years? "
Perfected Yu Ding and Li Changshou looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit understanding.
Li Changshou said, "I haven't cultivated for long."
Perfected Yu Ding said, "The bottleneck … isn't much."
The corners of Perfected Taiyi's mouth twitched. He resisted the urge to start a team and avoid being beaten up.
Perfected Yu Ding asked, "Changgeng, do you need to come into direct contact with Jian 'er?"
"His cultivation level is not low now. I'm afraid he can see through my paper effigy technique." Li Changshou pondered for a while and rejected Perfected Yu Ding's suggestion.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that that would happen, he decided to be safe.
Li Changshou said, "Senior Brother, have you talked to Yang Jian in the past few years?"
Perfected Taiyi hugged his arms and continued, "You have to ask how many times we've talked.
Ever since he discovered that Yang Jian was stuck at a bottleneck, a certain master had been extremely worried, but he had to put on airs. When he had nothing to do, he would occasionally pass by and recite a sutra or say a few specious words to try to give his disciple some inspiration.
Why didn't we receive such treatment when we were cultivating back then? "
Perfected Yu Ding coughed. "After all, I only have one disciple."
Li Changshou smiled and pondered carefully for a while. He gave a very simple solution.
He would let Ling Zhuzi get drunk with Yang Jian first and see if it would be effective.
Perfected Taiyi frowned and said, "I thought that Junior Brother Changgeng would definitely have a good opinion. Why … is that it?"
"The Great Dao is simple." Li Changshou smiled and said, "No matter what the method is, it's fine as long as it's useful. Ling Zhuzi and Yang Jian are of the same generation. They have a deep relationship.
The younger generation is embarrassed to tell us some things. Perhaps they will confide in their peers after drinking.
Since we are going to attack, we should make more preparations …
In that case, let Ling Zhuzi try to open Yang Jian's heart and confirm why his Dao heart was sick.
We will attack from behind. Junior Brother Yu Ding will use his mystical abilities to protect Yang Jian's Dao heart. Senior Brother Taiyi will use his spiritual will to invade his Dao heart and treat the problem. "
"Okay."
"Alright, let's try."
The three experts of the Dao Sect discussed various details for a while and instructed Ling Zhuzi via voice transmission for a long time. Finally, they began to carry out the plan.
However, the plan had just begun … when it suffered a huge setback.
In the rear mountain of Jade Spring Mountain, Ling Zhuzi smiled at Yang Jian and said, "Junior Brother, you look gloomy. You seem to be in a bad mood recently. Why don't I accompany you for a walk outside the mountain and help you relax?"
Yang Jian sighed softly and stood up. He smiled and said, "Is it that obvious?"
"Of course." Ling Zhuzi said seriously, "Uncle-Master Yu Ding is quite worried about your situation. He specially called me over to talk to you."
Yang Jian looked at the Cave Abode in front of him. There was an apologetic look on his handsome face.
"I've made Master worry. Let's go out and relax."
Ling Zhuzi turned around and invited him. Yang Jian cupped his hands and thanked him. Just as he was about to take a step …
"Brother!"
Yang Jian stopped in his tracks. He had the same "rusty neck" as Ling Zhuzi. He slowly turned his head to look at the source of the voice.
Just as Yang Jian was about to explain, Ling Zhuzi's figure flashed. He used the Magi battle technique and appeared behind Yang Chan's weak figure. He pointed at her back.
Yang Chan rolled her eyes. Ling Zhuzi's immortal power turned into a hammock and "hung" her in the forest.
"Done." Ling Zhuzi clapped his hands and gave Yang Jian a straightforward look. The corners of Yang Jian's mouth twitched.
He was really decisive.
Hence, the two of them rode a cloud and flew out of the Jade Spring Mountain Array Formation. They found a mountain peak hundreds of kilometers away and set up some array formations. They lay on two tree branches and drank and chatted.
However, no matter how Ling Zhuzi asked, Yang Jian did not speak. He only said that he was fine. However, there were some thoughts that were not clear. It was good that he had thought it through.
After leaving the Jade Spring Mountain, Yang Jian was indeed much more relaxed.
After a while, the two of them chatted about other topics. Unknowingly, they were a little drunk.
Ling Zhuzi said, "Why is this wine so strong …"
Yang Jian could not help but yawn. He wanted to lie down and sleep, but he thought of something and stood up to meditate.
Just as he was about to dissolve the alcohol, sleepiness surged over like a tide and drowned his Dao heart.
In the array formation, snoring sounds could be heard …
In a hidden corner at the side, Li Changshou, Yu Ding, and Perfected Taiyi, who were using the power of the Taiji Painting to hide their figures, could not help but look at each other and smile.
Perfected Taiyi sent a voice transmission. "You drugged your own disciple. As expected of Lord Taibai Jinxing."
Li Changshou smiled nonchalantly and reminded, "Senior Brother, don't make any mistakes later."
"I'm just reciting a few lines." Perfected Taiyi smiled calmly. "I have never thought of pretending to be a disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect to bewitch Yang Jian's Dao heart and strengthen Yang Jian's obsession."
He had specially asked Ling Zhuzi to invite Yang Jian to leave the Jade Spring Mountain because it was convenient. Otherwise, he could not explain how the people of the Western Sect could silently bypass Perfected Yu Ding's vision and break through the Jade Spring Mountain array formation.
"Yang Jian just can't see the path ahead clearly and is a little confused." Li Changshou looked at Perfected Yu Ding. "Senior Brother, please protect Yang Jian's Dao heart."
Perfected Yu Ding smiled and did not say anything. He waved his left hand, and a colorful cauldron appeared in front of the three of them. A blurry image appeared in the cauldron. Yang Jian seemed to be meditating in the middle of a square platform.
This is …
Yang Jian's spiritual platform!
Li Changshou and Perfected Taiyi looked at each other and complained helplessly.
What do you mean doting on your disciple?
This is called doting on your disciple!
He paid attention to the changes in his disciple's essence soul at all times and used his unique mystical abilities to monitor his disciple's spirit platform. He was also afraid that his disciple would suffer from mental demons and his Dao heart would be unstable.
He even used the power of his intrinsic essence soul to transform into a small green cauldron that floated above his disciple's essence soul. If he did not have the strength to break Yu Ding's essence soul, he would not be able to injure Yang Jian's essence soul …
It can't be? It can't be?
Could it be that there are really masters who don't use the power of their essence souls to protect their disciples' essence souls?
In any case, Li Changshou felt that he could not do that to Long Ji.
Perfected Taiyi wanted to care about Ling Zhuzi so much, but he was limited by his own strength.
Perfected Yu Ding said calmly, "Let's begin."
Perfected Taiyi sat cross-legged and meditated. His expression was solemn. A ray of red light flew out of his forehead and condensed into a shadow.
Under the concealment of the power of the Taiji Painting, everything was completed silently.
Just as the shadow was about to fly out of the area enveloped by the Taiji Painting, a breeze suddenly blew from the forest.
Li Changshou reacted the fastest. He immediately raised his hand and gestured for Perfected Taiyi to stop. The three of them looked over and saw a shadow floating past the forest.
"Whose spiritual will?" Perfected Taiyi frowned and asked.
Perfected Yu Ding's expression instantly turned gloomy. His left palm brushed past the image of the huge cauldron in front of the three of them, and the image inside the cauldron became extremely clear.
A gray-haired Lao Dao appeared around Yang Jian's spiritual platform and essence soul. It slowly floated around Yang Jian's essence soul and was blocked by the green cauldron above Yang Jian's essence soul.
Li Changshou quickly identified the source of the spiritual will …
The Void Bodhi of the Western Sect!
Perfected Yu Ding raised his hand and tapped it gently. The sound of Yang Jian's spiritual platform sounded in the hearts of the three immortals from the Dao Sect.
"Yang Jian, have you considered the matter that I mentioned to you the last time?"
Yang Jian's essence soul slowly opened its eyes.
