"After this, it's not appropriate for me to have any contact with Wen Jing."
Li Changshou thought to himself. He stood on the white cloud in front of the spiritual mountain and waited quietly. Thoughts rose and fell in his heart.
A large number of Heavenly Soldiers were "carefully" searching various parts of the spiritual mountain.
Fortunately, there were not many ferocious beasts and demonic beasts in the mountain gate of the spiritual mountain. If a chaotic battle really broke out in the mountain gate of the spiritual mountain, the heavenly thunder would rumble and the earth would burn …
The Western Sect was probably going to build again.
He scanned the surroundings of the spiritual mountain with his immortal senses. A total of 236 ferocious beasts and demonic beasts had been captured by the Heavenly Soldiers. Most of them had been severely injured by the Heavenly Punishment and were no longer a threat.
Some of them were familiar faces. They had participated in the battle at the East Ocean Eye previously.
Perhaps it was because of their despair, or perhaps it was because of the orders of the spiritual mountain. Although they tried to fight to the death, they could not organize an effective resistance.
Even so, there were still tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers who died.
The generals of the Celestial Court who had come today were more or less injured.
There was nothing they could do. The strength of the Heavenly Soldiers was too low. The demonic beasts and ferocious beasts had deliberately ambushed them. Even with the protection of the Heavenly Dao, it was difficult for them to survive the ambush.
The situation that happened on the spiritual mountain today would inevitably spread.
After all, they had been maintaining the live broadcast of the copper mirror.
Of course, the Celestial Court would still follow Li Changshou's instructions and give the spiritual mountain enough face to protect the dignity of the six Saints.
Li Changshou deduced the various possibilities of what would happen in the future and made new discoveries.
On the trip to the spiritual mountain, the ferocious demons were killed. Apart from greatly weakening the strength of the spiritual mountain, there was a more far-reaching impact behind it.
"A large group of Heavenly Soldiers can form a battle formation and cooperate with the power of the Heavenly Dao to capture a Gold God realm expert. With one or two experts, they can easily restrain a Zenith Heaven Gold God."
From that day onwards, the situation of the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Primordial World became subtle.
If he wanted to be carefree, he could not do whatever he wanted.
In the future, the strength of the Celestial Court could no longer be judged by the number of experts and great mystical abilities. The Heavenly Dao could appear at any time, adding too much uncertainty.
According to Li Changshou's calculations, there should be at least a hundred ferocious beasts and demonic beasts hiding in the mystic realm under the Spirited Mountain.
However, after this battle, the Spirited Mountain either abandoned them or restricted them. They could no longer be used.
The strategic objective was perfectly achieved.
"Teacher!"
The Golden-Winged Roc flew over from afar and bowed to Li Changshou with cupped fists. "The search outside of Mount Numinous has been completed. There are no fish that escaped the net.
Should we search Spirited Mountain in the same way? "
"Let's call it a day."
Li Changshou said indifferently, "Take these beasts to the Divine Punishment Hall and interrogate them one by one. I will report to the Jade Emperor before beheading them.
When the time comes, I want all three realms to know about this. "
"Yes!"
The Golden Roc cupped his fists and accepted the order. He turned around and conveyed Li Changshou's order. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals quickly retreated from the Spirited Mountain and formed hundreds of battle formations to escort the ferocious beasts back to Heaven.
The secluded area of the Spirit Mountain was where the Saints cultivated.
Saint Zhun Ti raised his head slightly. There was a flash of light in his eyes and he was about to raise his left hand.
"There's no need."
A soft sigh sounded from the side. The black light that was brewing in Zhun Ti's left hand immediately dissipated.
Saint Jie Yin said, "The Heavenly Dao is operating. It should be the situation. We only need to wait quietly."
"Okay."
Zhun Ti nodded slowly and said, "Senior Brother, did Li Changgeng really take Teacher's decree? Didn't Teacher promise us back then that as long as … "
"Is it important whether I am or not?"
A faint smile appeared on Jie Yin's lips, as if the Western Sect was not the one who suffered today.
The Saint said,
"If the Heavenly Dao wants to prosper, it will first be damaged and tempered. Moreover, the time for the Western Sect to prosper is naturally after this Great Tribulation.
What we need to be wary of now is Taiqing and Yuqing.
These two Fellow Daoists will not let us gain power easily. "
"Alright." Daoist Zhun Ti did not say anything else. He closed his eyes and meditated. A faint light emitted from his body.
On the cloud path, Li Changshou, who was riding a cloud, frowned slightly.
Previously, his spiritual perception had fluctuated slightly, as if danger was approaching. However, he had been on guard for a while. He only had goosebumps all over his body. Nothing unusual happened.
The Saint wanted to attack me just now, right?
The corners of Li Changshou's mouth twitched.
He had already done so thoroughly and given the Western Sect so many ways out. The Saints still had such a strong killing intent …
Forget it. I'll continue hiding.
In any case, he had done what he needed to do. He would let the Golden Roc deal with the trichiliocosm and let the soldiers of the Celestial Court gain more experience. He would hide behind and control the entire situation.
In the following days, he would cultivate and sleep to punish Ling 'e. At the same time, he would read the Primordial Dao left behind by Senior Lang and secretly use the Primordial Violet Qi of the Kun Peng Ark to observe the Primordial Heavenly Dao …
It was stable and comfortable.
In the secluded pavilion on the Three-Immortal Island.
"Sister! Brother-in-law came out of the spiritual mountain alive! "
Bi Xiao ran all the way on the cloud and jumped into the window of the attic with her slender body. She held the communication jade talisman and shouted happily.
In the pavilion, the sound of water could be heard from behind the screen.
Fairy Yun Xiao, who was bathing in the clouds, stood up when she heard that. When she turned out of the screen, she was already dressed in a thin green shirt. Her black hair dried on its own, wrapped around her, and coiled into the shape of a phoenix's tail. Her fair and slender neck was even more eye-catching.
She looked at Bi Xiao helplessly and said gently, "Don't say that.
"Don't say it like that. Since he dared to go, he must have made a thorough plan."
"Hehe, I'm worried for you, Sister."
Bi Xiao smiled and made a face. She, who had always maintained the temperament of a young girl, had a pure Dao heart. She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that her big sister would kneel.
It was a common problem in Jie School.
Bi Xiao asked softly, "Sister, is Brother-in-law really helping Grandmaster this time?"
"Yes." Fairy Yun Xiao walked to her dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She pondered for a while and replied, "I can't say for sure. He has never talked to me about these things."
Yun Xiao's loft originally did not have a dressing table, but because a woman wanted to dress herself up, there was a dressing table.
Bi Xiao took out an immortal fruit from her sleeve and took a small bite. She sighed softly, "Now that brother-in-law has moved to the Celestial Court, I can't play with him anymore."
"We can go to the Celestial Court," Yun Xiao said. "However, we're in the midst of the Great Tribulation now. It's not appropriate for us to move around. If we go to the Celestial Court, it's easy for Chan School to gossip and make things difficult for him. That's the second reason."
"Elder Sister, why are you so apprehensive when talking about a Dao companion?"
Bi Xiao smiled and said, "In my opinion, the battle between the great sects is a battle between the great sects, and private affairs are private affairs. You should go to the Celestial Court openly and let them say whatever they want.
Why should we care about them? "
Yun Xiao frowned slightly. Bi Xiao instantly stopped and added softly,
"I'm saying that others can't affect our Dao Hearts."
"Go cultivate," Yun Xiao said gently.
"Ah." Bi Xiao shrank her neck and turned around to float out of the window. She patted her chest and disappeared.
Yun Xiao sat in front of the mirror and fell into a daze for a while. Not long after, she sighed softly and hung the copper coin in her hand at the edge of the bronze mirror. Her gentle gaze was filled with determination.
As long as he survived the Great Tribulation.
He would naturally be free.
…
During the trip to the spiritual mountain, the reputation of the Celestial Court soared. The Celestial Court officially jumped above the Saint's sect.
Li Changshou led the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals back in triumph. The two Saints of the spiritual mountain did not attack from the beginning to the end. The disciples of the spiritual mountain did not resist at all and allowed the Celestial Court to capture the fighters that they had secretly nurtured for many years.
Three days later, in front of the Middle Heavenly Gate, the ferocious beasts and demonic beasts were killed.
At that time, the scene was very spectacular. The Celestial Court invited all the mighty figures and mystical abilities of the Primordial World to attend the ceremony.
At noon that day, huge corpses and endless blood dyed the white clouds. A continuous rain of blood fell from a desolate mountain in the Middle Continent.
That seemed to indicate the end of a Primordial Era and the beginning of another Primordial Era.
Three Realms Era.
Nine days later, the Heavenly Soldiers entered the western and southern regions of the South Continent. The immortals and gods of the Celestial Court appeared everywhere and overturned the Burning Incense Sect of the Western Sect that was entrenched there.
A month later, the ban on the five continents was officially lifted.
The eight Heavenly Soldiers of the Celestial Court each sent out a hundred thousand troops. They joined the million navy of the Dragon Palace and entered the trichiliocosm majestically. They headed towards the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom that was closest to the five continents.
It was an expedition that was destined to last a long time.
The Celestial Court directly intervened in the battle of the trichiliocosm. However, under Li Changshou's control, it would control the speed of advancement and allow the Immortal Alliance and the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom to maintain the same losses.
At the same time, the Celestial Court began to secretly increase its support for the Heaven Ascension Hall.
Only Li Changshou, Dong Mu Gong, and a few other powerful ministers of the Celestial Court knew about the details of the Heaven Ascension Hall.
Three months later, the Celestial Court announced that it would send troops to guard the north-south border of the Aparagodānīya Continent.
The influence of the Western Sect on the five continents had fallen to its lowest since ancient times.
Half a year later, good news came from the trichiliocosm. The mixed army of the Celestial Court and the Dragon Palace had destroyed a Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and gained a foothold in the trichiliocosm. They had established the first garrison directly under the Celestial Court.
However, the trichiliocosm was too vast. It was not realistic to rely on the Celestial Court to station troops at the current stage.
Li Changshou's idea was to continue developing the Heaven Ascension Hall's influence in a delicate balance. He wanted to bring more than 80% of the Major Chiliocosm under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Court within three thousand years. He wanted to promote the rule of the Celestial Court and separate immortals from mortals. He wanted to preserve the path of mortals seeking immortality.
In Li Changshou's opinion, that was not a grand plan.
He was just taking advantage of the situation.
However, what made Li Changshou depressed was that he …
He had done so much and worked so hard for so long. Although he could not say that he had repeatedly taken risks, he had worked hard even if he did not contribute. However, the Heavenly Dao did not give him the merit to condense the Golden Body of Merit.
What he was worried about previously began to happen bit by bit.
The merit from incense offerings, the merit salary given by the Celestial Court …
It was restricted.
After completing the layout of the trichiliocosm, another thirty years passed.
Li Changshou naturally went to the Taiqing Palace. In the past thirty years, he had been listening to lectures in the Taiqing Palace for twenty years.
He had been by his teacher's side for more than twenty years. No one would believe him if he said that the two of them did not talk about anything or work together to plot something. His teacher in Taiqing was still quite interested in talking.
However, there was no substantive content to talk about. His teacher had only said 300 words in total. He had even said them separately. He had talked about the evolution of the Heavenly Dao to the Great Tribulation …
Anyway, he understood.
After returning from the Taiqing Palace, Li Changshou had been in seclusion for ten years. During that period, he had been paying attention to the changes in his merit.
He repeatedly confirmed and waited with a sliver of hope. Only today was he completely sure.
The Golden Body of Merit was stuck at 98%.
The Golden Body of Merit meant perfection. There was no room for modification. It had to reach the amount set by the Heavenly Dao before it could transform.
On this day.
Li Changshou looked inside himself and at the Merit Treasure Pool that was about to be full but was still dissatisfied in his spiritual platform. He frowned and pondered for a while. In the end, he sighed dejectedly.
What could he do?
Could he stand up and criticize the Heavenly Dao, shout that the boss of the Heavenly Dao is not human, and run away with a huge amount of merit and the Creation Jade Disc?
Then, he would go to the Western Sect to transfer the debt?
This …
Now, he could basically confirm that the Dao Ancestor did not give him merit not because Senior Brother Xuandu had said, but because he did not want him to be restrained by the Heavenly Dao.
Didn't the Dao Ancestor release the eighth and ninth wisps of Primordial Violet Qi to tie him up?
The Dao Ancestor clearly did not want him to use the Golden Body of Merit to establish a connection with the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the Heavenly Dao deeply.
That was probably a consideration to maintain the stability of the world.
"Ah."
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou lay in the rocking chair. His eyes were lifeless, and his lips were pale. He exuded a sense of dejection.
It was like an immortal fish that had been cooped up in the house for thirty years. Today, it walked out and basked in the sun to avoid mold.
Ling 'e, who was originally cultivating by the lake, blinked and floated over on a cloud. She was dressed in a grass-green short skirt and a pair of embroidered sandals. She did not put on any makeup, but she was so beautiful and charming.
She jumped down from the cloud and landed on the left side of the reclining chair. With her hands behind her back, she leaned forward and observed Li Changshou's lifeless expression at a close distance.
It was rare.
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Li Changshou waved his hand weakly and sighed. "Even if I live an immortal life, I might not be happy. There are many helpless things in the world. My heart can't be perfect."
Ling 'e blinked. Although she did not want to take the initiative to mention it, she still asked softly,
"You … quarreled with Sister Yun Xiao?"
"It has nothing to do with her." Li Changshou raised his left hand and patted Ling 'e's head gently. "Don't ask too much. I haven't asked you to copy the sutras recently. Do you think you're already a mature little fairy?"
"No!"
Ling 'e did not know why, but she was inexplicably happy. She took out a pocket-sized rocking chair from her sleeve. She blew a mouthful of fragrant orchid immortal Qi, and the rocking chair turned into a normal size. It was placed beside Li Changshou.
Ling 'e smiled and lay down. She supported her chin with one hand and blinked at her senior brother.
"Senior Brother, if you can't lift your spirits, look at me.
This Junior Sister can help you raise your spirit. "
Li Changshou glanced at her. He wanted to enjoy the famous scene in the backyard of the Xiao Qiong Mount, but he sighed dejectedly and lay there in a daze.
The clouds rolled and the clouds filled the air.
It was indeed a blow to him that he could not condense the Golden Body of Merit that he had been worried about for many years.
Although he had the Primordial Violet Qi as a substitute for comprehending the Heavenly Dao, he still felt aggrieved.
The Heavenly Dao was shameless. The Dao Ancestor pretended to be confused. Who could he reason with?
Why did the Dao Ancestor pretend to be confused?
Li Changshou looked deep in thought. Ling 'e, who was at the side, had already gritted her teeth and kicked her legs. She was about to ruthlessly use the Enchantment Technique. When she saw that, she could not help but retract her attention, afraid that she would disturb her senior brother's thoughts.
Soon, Li Changshou slapped his thigh. His eyes were filled with "ruthlessness".
You don't want the Golden Body of Merit, do you?
I don't want it anymore!
He was steady because his morals were not perfect. Therefore, he was not worthy of having the Golden Body of Merit. It had nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor.
Li Changshou turned to look at Ling 'e and asked, "Which type do you like, a defensive Dharma treasure or a killing Dharma treasure?"
Ling 'e blinked and quickly reacted.
The test question was common. It was just a small test.
"Escape Dharma treasure!"
"Oh? You're ambitious. "
Li Changshou praised and took out a silver shuttle from his sleeve. Golden light surged in his palm, and his expression was extremely solemn.
He was not good at refining artifacts, but he was good at finding some "trash" that was piled up in the corners of the Tushita Palace.
Although his current Dao Realm was barely strong and his mystical abilities were average, it was still quite difficult to refine a Dharma treasure that the Grand Supreme Elder had casually refined.
However, it was not difficult to balance the power of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements in it and add some supreme-grade ancient treasures …
Half a day later.
Five-colored light flowed on the silver shuttle. The Yin-Yang Twin Fish at the bottom slowly rotated, causing Ling 'e to exclaim.
With that treasure in hand, it could greatly enhance the Five-Element Escape Technique.
If he entered it, he could form a Dao law domain and enter the Chaos Sea freely.
Then, Li Changshou carved the word "longevity" on the side of the shuttle and handed the carving knife to Ling 'e.
Ling 'e's face was flushed red. She pursed her lips and wrote the word "E". She was already on the verge of smoking.
She asked softly, "The previous question was not a test."
"Yes, I haven't made any decent treasures for you to protect yourself all these years." Li Changshou took the shuttle and his eyes flickered.
If one was not ruthless, one would not be able to stand steadily!
One had to be willing to give up in order to gain!
A dazzling golden divine light surged in his palm. Li Changshou gritted his teeth and pushed forward. A massive amount of merit surged into the silver shuttle in his palm.
Appear!
A supreme-grade Postnatal Merit Escape treasure!
Golden light surged, and the Xiao Qiong Mount was covered in a layer of golden light.
After a while, Li Changshou took a deep breath. His eyes were calm as he placed the shuttle that was surrounded by treasure light in Ling 'e's palm.
"Play with it."
Ling 'e was rendered speechless.
"Senior Brother, are you really giving it to me?"
"There's no need to differentiate between us. We can just use treasures." Li Changshou stretched his back and felt much more relaxed. His Dao heart was suddenly enlightened.
Although he had used up 60% of the accumulated merit, it was quite an accomplishment to be able to create a supreme-grade Merit numinous treasure and give it to his junior sister.
It was rare to be extravagant.
He had to be fair. Later, he would use the remaining Golden Body of Merit to refine a robe and go to the Three-Immortal Island for a stroll.
Suddenly!
Rumble!
The sky of the Celestial Court suddenly changed. A golden cloud covered the backyard of the Grand White Palace. Hundreds of auspicious signs surged out from it. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a golden pillar of light and smashed down. Without any explanation, it enveloped Li Changshou!
Merit!
A massive amount of pure Heavenly Dao merit!
At the same time, the Great Dao in Li Changshou's heart trembled. He condensed a few words and stuck them on his essence soul.
"This time, definitely."
