Li Changshou naturally knew that the Jade Emperor would not covet any treasures.
What he said about being fated with the Celestial Court was actually referring to the fact that the twenty-four heavens could complete the Celestial Court and open up the Nine Heavens Imperial Court into the thirty-three heavens.
In the original Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the one who evolved the twenty-four heavens was Randeng. The one who completed it was the Buddhist Sect that had yet to appear.
Randeng had used this to establish his position in the Buddhist Sect and allowed the Buddhist Sect to control a certain amount of authority in the Celestial Court.
Now, there was a 97% chance that the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls would not fall into Randeng's hands. If Zhao Gongming could comprehend the key here and use this treasure to evolve the twenty-four heavens, he would create a Celestial Court that did not have much to do with the future Buddhist Sect.
It would depend on how Zhao Gongming grasped it.
However, at that moment, when the Jade Emperor's incarnation, Quan Dong, said that, Zhao Gongming's heart stirred.
Grandpa Chao's gaze was first shocked and excited. Then, he pondered and hesitated. Then, he became decisive and determined …
If the Jade Emperor accepted his treasures and could give the immortals of Jie School a chance to survive in the Great Tribulation, so what if his strength was greatly damaged?
No matter how strong the treasures were, they were ultimately worldly possessions. At most, he would learn from the Grand Yi of Chan School next door and look for the Jade Tripod.
Did Zhao Gongming not have anyone to protect him?
Everything could not compare to the words "Gold Spirit, save me"!
Therefore, Zhao Gongming made up his mind and his throat trembled. He said softly, "If General takes a fancy to it, this treasure …"
"Brother!"
Li Changshou shouted softly from the side. The Jade Emperor immediately knew that Zhao Gongming was overthinking. He immediately placed the pearl back in front of Li Changshou.
A faint smile appeared on Quan Dong's lips. "Brother Gongming, don't misunderstand. I said that this treasure is fated with the Celestial Court. It seems that it can allow the Celestial Court to take a step forward.
I rarely fight for the Celestial Court. Most of my time is spent guarding the Ling Xiao Hall, so I can't use such a precious treasure. "
The immortals of Jie School heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhao Gongming wondered, "What does my bead have to do with the Celestial Court?"
Li Changshou waved his fingers slightly, and the 24 Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew back to Zhao Gongming, forming a circle and slowly hovering.
Zhao Gongming was deep in thought. He seemed to have caught a spark of inspiration.
After all, this might be Zhao Gongming's fortuitous encounter.
Not long after, Zhao Gongming frowned and said, "It seems that I have to study this set of Dharma treasures properly later."
Changshou took the opportunity to change the topic and raised his cup to drink with everyone.
The key to whether the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl could become Zhao Gongming's fortuitous encounter was the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao gave him some pointers or indicated the use of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, it would not be difficult for Zhao Gongming to comprehend it with his comprehension.
Although Li Changshou knew the general direction, he did not dare to say too much. Secondly, it was still a deduction, so he did not say it directly.
He had to stop when it came to it so that he would not be tainted by karma.
The male immortals exchanged toasts and shifted the topic away from the Great Tribulation. The immortals of the two sects were still happy.
The fairies chuckled and sent voice transmissions. It was unknown what Kong Xuan and Yun Xiao were talking about. Some Dao runes appeared around the two of them, as if they had begun to sit and discuss the Dao …
Li Changshou quickly took out some trinkets and officially promoted the Great Battle Spirit Tablet.
Hence, the scene quickly became that the immortals of the three sects would bring the Jade Emperor's incarnation to play cards after drinking. Fortunately, they did not use the position of the legitimate god of the Celestial Court as a wager.
Three days had passed.
The Minor Chiliocosm was extremely stable. With the power of the Taiji Painting concealing it and the secret help of the Taiqing Saint, it was naturally 90% stable.
Apart from the fact that the two Saints of the Western Sect had been alarmed when the Void Bodhi was plotted against, there was no movement.
On the other side … he gave up very decisively.
Li Changshou was ready. He entered the spherical numinous treasure again. His spiritual will invaded the Void Bodhi's spirit platform and projected the appearance of Maitreya again.
From his aura to his expression, to his habitual movements and smile, Li Changshou tried his best to pull out all the details.
"Do you understand?"
The Void Bodhi's Dao heart trembled. His essence soul "opened" his eyes again, and his expression was filled with fatigue.
At that moment, he did not notice the abnormality in his Dao heart. For the past three days, he had been thinking and considering all the possibilities that he could think of. In the end, he came up with a bold idea …
"Are you really my Eldest Senior Brother?"
Li Changshou maintained his smile and squinted slightly. He "looked" at the Void Bodhi's essence soul.
In terms of psychological games.
A moment later, the Void Bodhi smiled bitterly and asked, "Is this Teacher's arrangement?"
Generally speaking, the problem at that moment was a trap. Li Changshou did not know if the Void Bodhi and Maitreya were disciples of the same Saint. After all, the Western Sect had two Saints.
Therefore, Li Changshou was still smiling. His smile became even stranger.
The Void Bodhi sighed slowly and closed his eyes again.
"Eldest Senior Brother, if you don't kill I, you must still need I. Eldest Senior Brother, just tell me.
We are both disciples of the Western Sect and have cultivated on the spiritual mountain together. Although we have secretly competed, there is no feud. I am willing to go through fire and water for the Western Sect and serve you, Senior Brother. "
"Very good." Maitreya extended his right hand.
The Void Bodhi pretended not to understand. However, when he saw that his "Eldest Senior Brother"'s smile gradually disappeared, his Dao heart subconsciously tightened.
There was another round of silence. "Maitreya" was about to slowly put down his right hand.
There was a hint of struggle in the Void Bodhi's eyes, but he still pointed at his forehead. A gray figure flew out from the glabella of his essence soul and condensed into a gray spot of light that was held by "Maitreya".
In the ball, a drop of blood essence flew out of the Void Bodhi's forehead. Li Changshou formed a complicated Dharma seal with both hands. The blood essence instantly froze into a droplet-shaped blood stone.
The Dharma seals did not stop. Chains appeared around the Blood Stone.
Demon Emperor God-Imprisoning Art!
The wisp of gray gas flew out of the Void Bodhi's chest and entered the Blood Stone. It turned into the image of the Void Bodhi and was completely imprisoned by the Blood Stone.
From then on, if he wanted to destroy the Void Bodhi's essence soul in the future, he only needed to activate the technique to burn the Blood Stone. The Void Bodhi's essence soul would collapse.
At the Void Bodhi's Spiritual Platform, the figure of "Maitreya" was about to dissipate. The boring voice entered the Void Bodhi's Dao heart again.
"Recuperate here. When the time is right, I will naturally let you out.
If Teacher asks or if we meet under other circumstances, you will know how to deal with it.
If I don't take the initiative to look for you, pretend that nothing happened. "
The Void Bodhi widened his eyes when he heard that.
Isn't that what Teacher wants?!
At this moment, I'm just a pawn in Maitreya's hands?
The Void Bodhi looked angry. Then, he let out a long sigh, and the bitter smile on his lips intensified.
From now on, the senior and junior brothers on the surface would be master and servant in secret. The initiative would be completely in Maitreya's hands.
The surrounding starlight flickered again. This time, the illusion dissipated. The Void Bodhi's essence soul sank into the endless darkness. His six senses were sealed again.
In the ball, Li Changshou looked at the "Soul Stone" in his palm. He wrapped it with Yin and Yang Qi and placed it in a ring. Then, he turned around and left the numinous treasure.
He had done a great job.
From today onwards, at the edge of the Chaos Sea.
A ball slowly floated over from the Chaos Sea and exploded in front of the barrier of the Heavenly Dao power, leaving behind a blood-stained Lao Dao with a calm aura.
The fragments of the spherical numinous treasure were swept away by the Chaos aura. The restrictions around the Void Bodhi dissipated one after another. He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. He immediately used his immortal power to wrap his Dao Body and escaped into the Chaos Sea.
In his heart, the Void Bodhi recalled the two things that his "Eldest Senior Brother" had just told him.
The first thing was that Eldest Senior Brother had taken the initiative to mention. The matter of plotting against Yang Jian had to be coordinated with Eldest Senior Brother's arrangements.
The Void Bodhi was not surprised. He had long guessed that this would happen.
Eldest Senior Brother was someone who refused to suffer losses and would take revenge for any enmity. How could he not have any countermeasures after being schemed against by Lord Taibai Jinxing previously?
That was very Maitreya.
The second thing was that the Void Bodhi took the initiative to ask …
"Senior Brother, how should I explain to Master about my disappearance these past few days?"
Eldest Senior Brother's reply was:
"I placed you at the edge of the Chaos Sea. Didn't Taibai Jinxing say that I am Kun Peng's second essence soul?"
The Void Bodhi immediately understood that the blame should be placed on Kun Peng's back. Kun Peng had captured him and quickly escaped the Primordial World to interrogate him about the Western Sect. That way, he could barely settle the score with his teacher.
Speaking of which, Eldest Senior Brother is really bold. It's a taboo for fellow disciples to kill each other. Eldest Senior Brother did it directly and even succeeded.
It seemed that the rumors about Eldest Senior Brother that he had heard in the ancient times were traceable.
The Void Bodhi circled the Chaos Sea for a while and returned to the Primordial World from another direction. However, just as he entered the Heavenly Dao barrier, his Dao heart suddenly trembled and he hurriedly looked inside.
What is this?
The Void Bodhi looked at the wisps of gray aura that had already taken root in his Dao heart. His face suddenly turned pale.
No matter how high the cultivation level of the Qi Refinement cultivators was, they were afraid of producing mental demons and being devoured by them.
At that moment, waves of grayish-black aura almost engulfed his Dao heart.
Waves of mixed emotions surfaced in the Void Bodhi's heart. Sadness, anger, and killing intent almost devoured him.
Where did the mental demon come from!?!
The Void Bodhi pinched his fingers and deduced. After rushing into the Heavenly Dao barrier, he immediately sat down to cultivate. Golden light floated around him, and his forehead was gradually covered in cold sweat.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you're so ruthless!
My Dao heart has almost been completely destroyed by you. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take another step forward in the future! "
The Void Bodhi opened his eyes, and the anger in his eyes quickly faded.
That's not right …
This is not I's mental demon. This is a demonic thought that has been forcefully planted!
The otherworldly demons, the edge of the Chaos Sea … Could it be that the rumors that have been spreading previously are not rumors? Could Eldest Senior Brother really be!?!
The Void Bodhi's pupils constricted. He hid his figure and fled towards the edge of the trichiliocosm in shock. He wanted to choose a place to cultivate quietly and think about this matter carefully.
If that was the case, the Western Sect would probably be in trouble …
In fact, it would be gradually devoured by Eldest Senior Brother!
"Ah, I's already under someone's control. I can't do anything."
…
Another half a month passed after he released the Void Bodhi at the edge of the Chaos Sea.
Li Changshou and the immortals from the Dao Sect who had attacked this time quietly "disbanded" after they swore a Heavenly Dao oath to keep the secret.
Although Li Changshou did not want Yun Xiao to make an oath, he could not reject her since she had taken the initiative to ask.
Fairy Yun Xiao did not want to make any special treatment. She hoped that Li Changshou would simply treat her as one of the four outer sect disciples of Jie School in the matters of the three sects.
Of course, in private, the two of them were already Dao companions who did not want to let go of each other for a few hours.
Li Changshou had put in a lot of effort to arrange this joint oath.
When everyone keeps a secret together, there will be more friendships and more connections between them.
As long as Perfected Taiyi did not rashly start a group, the probability of a huge battle between the two sects would be reduced by at least 10%!
That could barely be considered half a plan.
When Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao returned to the Three-Immortal Island together, Li Changshou had also reminded them to pay more attention to Brother Zhao's condition.
Li Changshou was a little worried that the Jade Emperor's words would affect the operation of the tribulation. He would let Grandpa Chao enter the tribulation in advance and let the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl belong to the Celestial Court.
Although the possibility was very low, Li Changshou still chose to be steady.
Come to think of it …
Will the Void Bodhi really be Monkey's teacher in the future?
In the Great White Hall, Li Changshou's immortal senses watched the Heavenly General paper effigy, who was leaving with the three pointed, double-edged spear. He pondered over that deep question.
The probability was quite high. After all, in the Primordial World, only the Void Bodhi was related to the Bodhi.
Moreover, the Void Bodhi had become a puppet in his hands. In the future, he could use it when plotting against the Western Sect or the Buddhist Sect. As long as the Void Bodhi did not mess around, he would not easily cripple such a pawn.
Previously, there was Wen Jing's would-be sister-in-law, and now, there was the Void Bodhi …
His infiltration of the Western Sect was quite effective.
Thank you, Teacher, for your help this time!
He could not do that too much. After all, the Saint's teacher was not his Dharma treasure. If he always asked the Saint to do something that was not "explaining the Dao and beating up the Little Saint", it would easily reduce his favorable impression of the Saint.
Just as Li Changshou was about to retract his attention and return to the Xiao Qiong Mount, a figure floated over on a cloud outside the Great White Hall. It was the Jade Emperor's incarnation, the Heavenly Emperor.
Previously, Quan Dong had let it slip a few times at the banquet.
On the way back to the Celestial Court with Li Changshou's paper effigy, Quan Dong snapped back to his senses and was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, Li Changshou spoke in time and explained a little. He said that he was worried that the immortals would accidentally offend him and send a voice transmission to expose the identity of the Jade Emperor's incarnation in advance. Only then did the Jade Emperor heave a sigh of relief.
It was good that he did not expose himself. He still had to pay attention to his pride.
Today, Quan Dong rushed over again. Li Changshou bet that two bags of spiritual beast spicy meat made by Ling 'e must be because of Yang Jian.
As expected, Quan Dong rode a cloud to the front of the Great White Hall and asked to meet him. Then, he was "summoned" into the hall by Li Changshou.
When they arrived at the array formation in the deepest part of the Great White Hall, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Li Changshou returned the gift he had just received. He took out a middle-aged paper effigy and sat down with Quan Dong.
Quan Dong went straight to the point. "Changgeng, I'm here this time to ask about Yang Jian. How's Yang Jian's trial going?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look." Li Changshou took out a thick and large bronze mirror and placed it in front of the two of them.
He pointed at the bronze mirror, and layers of ripples appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror. Then, a blurry image appeared. Then, the image quickly became very clear.
It was a Major Chiliocosm. The surging demonic aura covered the sun, moon, and stars. Several streams of light kept chasing in the sky.
Li Changshou and Quan Dong focused and saw Yang Jian's figure in the stream of light.
He was wearing a broken armor, holding a long spear in his right hand and a cracked sword in his left hand. Gold and red light swirled around his body. A small amount of blood flowed down from his forehead to his cheeks, and more than half of his long hair was soaked in demon blood.
He opened his mouth and seemed to let out an angry roar. His body suddenly accelerated, leaving behind afterimages and layers of spiritual energy fluctuations. He immediately caught up to a snake demon!
The snake demon looked ruthless. It turned around and spat out poisonous fog that filled the sky.
The spear darted forward and the sword beam slashed horizontally. In the next moment, demonic blood filled the sky. Yang Jian's figure pierced through the snake demon's huge body. The tip of the spear pressed against the snake demon's essence soul and shattered it with a sword …
Quan Dong asked softly, "Why is there only a scene and no sound?"
"Your Majesty, this is what Perfected Yu Ding saw. At this moment, Perfected Yu Ding might have forgotten to open the restrictions on the small bronze mirror."
"I see." Quan Dong nodded and stared at the situation where Yang Jian was chasing after a few demons.
After a while, the battle ended.
Yang Jian slew three Great Demons, while the last one escaped into the sky.
Yang Jian wanted to rush back to deal with the corpses of the three demons to prevent the demonic aura from spreading out and injuring the mortals there.
Yang Jian had also mastered the essence of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. After quickly dealing with the corpses of the great demons, he took out the treasures of heaven and earth essence on the great demons and cut off the flesh with the strongest spiritual energy.
He set up a few barbecue racks and carefully roasted them. He frowned and endured the discomfort. He ate them one mouthful at a time to strengthen his blood energy.
Doing what the Magi would do was indeed the right way to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.
Li Changshou praised, "You're really brave."
Quan Dong's eyes were filled with light. He praised, "He has the demeanor of Minister Changgeng when he killed demons."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Why does it sound like he is directly related to Yang Jian?
"Changgeng." Quan Dong smiled and said, "My incarnation will land here. Remember to call me when you want to see Yang Jian's situation."
Li Changshou said, "Maintaining this bronze mirror will only consume some Spirit Stones. I have to keep an eye on this matter."
"Sure!"
Quan Dong smiled in satisfaction and continued to look at the image in the bronze mirror. Yang Jian had already quickly disappeared into the horizon and successfully avoided the counterattack of the demon experts.
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart when he saw that. He knew that the Jade Emperor was happy to see talent. He left half of his attention there and his main body entered a shallow cultivation state.
At that moment, Li Changshou naturally did not know if Grandpa Chao had comprehended anything from the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.
However, he understood it.
The Heavenly Dao was constantly replenishing and perfecting itself. The Heavenly Dao had a goal that was almost "selfish".
To ordinary living beings and even longevity immortals, the Heavenly Dao was impartial. They would only follow the rules of the Heavenly Dao and maintain the stability of the world.
However, standing on the shore of the long river of time and looking into the distance, one could see the Heavenly Dao growing from small to large and the Heavenly Dao from incomplete to complete.
The Heavenly Dao had a core. There were no perfect living beings or treasures in the Postnatal world. Only Connate lifeforms and Connate Cardinal treasures could reach the true perfection realm.
That was also the reason why almost all the top mighty figures apart from Master Xuandu were Connate lifeforms.
Could the Heavenly Dao itself reach perfection?
Variables would always exist, and the Heavenly Dao's flaws would always exist …
Li Changshou thought about that and gradually immersed most of his attention into the Great Dao. He roamed the world and wandered through the past.
When he woke up from seclusion, he realized that the Jade Emperor's incarnation was still observing Yang Jian with interest. From Yang Jian fighting the demonic beasts to dealing with the Qi Refinement cultivators, to Yang Jian being in a daze and taking a nap in the town.
Soon, the trial plot that Bai Ze had arranged appeared. Yang Jian was lured into a ferocious place. After fighting for several months, he killed his way out and subdued a three-headed divine flood dragon. The divine flood dragon transformed into an ancient divine weapon, the three-pointed, double-edged spear.
From Perfected Yu Ding and Quan Dong's perspective, they could not tell that someone had arranged it.
Mr. Bai's soul as the Primordial Director had begun to awaken.
In the next few decades, Quan Dong spent most of his time in the Great White Hall.
Li Changshou felt like he had temporarily taken over the Heavenly Emperor's position. The Jade Emperor had discussed all sorts of matters in the Celestial Court with him. Then, he had used his main body to seal the Lingxiao Hall.
Most of the time, the Jade Emperor's incarnation and Li Changshou's paper effigy were looking at the bronze mirror in the depths of the Great White Hall.
That made Li Changshou want to go out and meet Fairy Yun Xiao, but he was a little embarrassed to ask.
Yang Jian's cultivation level could be said to have advanced at lightning speed. At that moment, his combat strength was already on par with most of the Qi Refinement cultivators in the Gold God realm. His realm was not far from the Gold God Tribulation.
That day, Quan Dong suddenly said, "Changgeng, do you feel that Yang Jian is missing something?"
"What's missing?"
Li Changshou, whose main body was preaching to Ling 'e, hurriedly focused his attention and smiled. "A bright robe?"
"No," Quan Dong said. "I feel that Yang Jian seems to lack a companion, just like Mr. Bai Ze and you."
Companion?
Quan Dong stood up and said, "Minister, please wait a few days. I'll go back and borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao to check and see if there are any mutants in the Primordial World. I can give them to him as a mount."
A, a mount?
Hiss, so that's the original positioning of the Celestial Hound …
