It was difficult.
Li Changshou had used his Heavenly Eye to see the background of the stone coffin. He did not expect that the matter of Randeng using the stone coffin to absorb the vitality of living beings would be exposed.
That not only made the immortals and gods feel indignant, but it also made Li Changshou a little angry. It also made the Saints of the Western Sect not dare to save Randeng easily …
The current Western Sect could not afford to commit such a sin.
In the end, he could not maximize the results of his plan today.
However, Li Changshou was not greedy. After resolving the matter of Randeng, there were fewer variables and obstacles in the subsequent plans.
After sealing the lamp with immortal power and suppressing it with Yin and Yang Qi, Li Changshou turned around and landed in front of the Lingxiao Hall.
With a brush of his palm, the power of the Heavenly Dao was driven. The clouds in front of him surrounded the jade stone slab and slowly grew and recovered.
Figures flew over from around him. Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled at everyone. He returned the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl to Grandpa Chao and threw the Little God-Slaying Spear at the Golden Roc, who was standing not far away. He turned to look at Yun Xiao in front of the hall.
At that moment, Yun Xiao had just put away the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice. She blinked at Li Changshou and continued to maintain her dignified, virtuous, and beautiful aura as an outstanding fairy.
Li Changshou … was …
Under everyone's gaze, his main body turned into a beam of light and returned to the sleeve of the paper effigy.
The paper effigy took a wide robe and put it on. He revealed a warm smile and had white hair and white eyebrows. It was as if nothing had happened just now.
"Changgeng, is this the main body of Randeng?"
Zhao Gongming put away the divine pearl and was the first to come over. He sized up the slowly spinning coffin lamp in front of Li Changshou.
Zhao Gongming asked via voice transmission, "What's the background of that Lao Dao just now?"
Before Li Changshou could shake his head, a few voice transmissions entered his ears. The Goddess of Golden Spirit, Qiong Xiao, and the Jade Emperor asked. Li Changshou shook his head.
How could he know who the senior in the coffin was?
Since it was his teacher who gave the order, it was most likely someone he knew.
The Ancient Era was too far away from the present. Perhaps it was an expert who once wanted to compete with the heavens.
During the Heavenly Punishment, the Heavenly Dao had destroyed the lamp and not touched the sarcophagus. There seemed to be some hidden "reason" behind it.
Before he could think too much, Li Changshou was already surrounded by layers of people.
The immortals and gods from all walks of life congratulated him. The Heavenly Generals only cared about bowing, but they could not say too many beautiful words. They only said the same thing.
"Lord Taibai Jinxing is heroic. That old thief Randeng actually refined the Major Chiliocosm for his own use!"
"It's all thanks to Lord Taibai Jinxing for seeing through Lao Dao's true colors!"
"Lord Taibai Jinxing, your battle technique just now made my heart surge with emotions. I almost couldn't control myself. My admiration for you is like the surging water of the heavenly river!"
Li Changshou fawned over them and said a few words to encourage them to do their job well for the Celestial Court.
The Lingxiao Hall shone with golden light, and the vast heavenly might spread out.
Mu Gong called out from the hall. The immortals and Heavenly Generals hurriedly calmed down their agitated emotions and lined up according to their ranks. They entered the Lingxiao Hall to pay their respects to the Jade Emperor.
A Heavenly Soldier quickly tidied up the arrangements in front of the hall. He moved the tables and chairs and carried the drum away. His actions were fast and orderly.
Li Changshou reminded Zhao Gongming and the other immortals of Jie School via voice transmission. The paper effigy also headed towards the Lingxiao Hall.
After all, Mu Gong had said that the Jade Emperor had summoned the immortals to the hall to meet him. Although he was an ordinary minister, he could not make any special arrangements.
As an immortal, he had to have the ability to be an immortal.
General Dongmu hurriedly walked out of the Lingxiao Hall and arrived in front of the experts of the Dao Sect. He smiled warmly and said,
He smiled warmly and muttered, "Daoist Priest Guang Chengzi, the Jade Emperor has summoned everyone into the hall to talk about Daoist Randeng."
Guang Chengzi sighed softly. Just as he was about to move forward, he heard a yawn from the side. In the blink of an eye, he saw Perfected Taiyi stretch and stand up from the side. He looked around blankly and muttered,
"What's going on? Where did Deputy Hierarch Randeng go? Did Junior Brother Changgeng really kill him?
I have to invite a few good friends to the Qianyuan Mountain to join the fun and remember the Deputy Hierarch together.
Ah, it's good to leave. "
Guang Chengzi was speechless. He glared at Taiyi fiercely. The latter smiled calmly and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.
Perfected Yu Ding, who was at the side, also seemed to have woken up from a dream. Out of respect for the intelligence of others, Perfected Yu Ding even rubbed the corner of his eyes and stood at the side as if nothing had happened.
Mu Gong had already gone to the other side. He smiled at Zhao Gongming and the other immortals and said, "Everyone, please enter the hall together. Today's matter is not a small matter. Please continue to be witnesses."
"Sure, sure." Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and chuckled. The three experts of Jie School met up with Fairy Yun Xiao and entered the majestic Lingxiao Hall first.
Guang Chengzi and the Old Man of the South Pole discussed via voice transmission and brought their junior brothers into the Lingxiao Hall.
Let's not talk about how the Jade Emperor had questioned Daoist Randeng in the Lingxiao Hall.
Moreover, it was unknown which Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General had spread the news of Lord Taibai Jinxing fighting Daoist Randeng, extinguishing Randeng, and sealing the stone coffin.
In less than four hours, the news spread to all the major factions in the five continents.
There was an uproar.
There were those who thought that the Celestial Court was going to war with Chan School. There were those who were gloating and wanted to see Chan School laugh. There were many who were shocked by Bai Meng.
Li Changshou was still in the Lingxiao Hall, but he had no choice but to split his attention. He began to control the contents of all kinds of rumors and spread the news that was beneficial to the stability of the world from multiple "jars".
The best rumors were actually the truth.
Sometimes, the truth was more unbelievable than rumors.
Li Changshou originally wanted to use Randeng to trample on the Western Sect. At that moment, he did not obtain any concrete evidence. The Western Sect had not appeared from the beginning to the end …
To be safe, Li Changshou decided to let the Western Sect off for the time being. He would first punish Randeng for being an "ancient villain". Then, he would focus on promoting the "fairness and justice" of the Celestial Court. Then, he would build a wall between the Western Sect and Chan School.
Without Randeng, the Western Sect and Chan School were equivalent to cutting off a link.
Therefore, in just half a day, the public opinion in the five continents of the Primordial World had changed …
"The Deputy Hierarch of Chan School, Randeng, is not a Connate lifeform or a Postnatal lifeform. Instead, he is a spiritual will that was born from the stone coffin of an ancient mighty figure and was led by the coffin lamp."
"That mighty figure is so powerful. The spiritual will that he revived after his death is actually at the level of a mighty figure now."
"Speaking of which, this Randeng is also a ruthless person. In order to cultivate, he directly refined the Major Chiliocosm. From the fragments of the ancient Primordial World to the plants and insects, he did not let go."
"That's probably the reason why the Heavenly Dao promoted the rise of the Celestial Court."
"The Celestial Court should not have a conflict with Chan School this time. I boldly predict that Chan School will most likely thank the Celestial Court for discovering Daoist Randeng's problem and apologize to the Three Realms."
"That makes sense. Randeng's crime of refining the Major Chiliocosm is really unforgivable. How many lives have been lost? Ordinary evil demons do not have such a murderous nature."
"Impressive, impressive."
After Li Changshou's actions, there were indeed fewer people who fanned the flames.
In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the disciples of Chan School who were originally cultivating outside spontaneously rushed back to the Saint's Daoist venue.
However, the twelve Golden God of Chan School fell silent and did not make any sound …
On the spiritual mountain of the Aparagodānīya Continent, the Lao Dao gathered together to discuss for a long time, but they could not come up with a solution.
When the Lao Dao began to rejoice that the fire did not burn their spiritual mountain this time, the Celestial Court released a few more pieces of news.
"Daoist Randeng has ulterior motives in the Three Sects of the Dao Sect. He keeps provoking Chan School and Jie School, causing many disciples of the two sects to form a death grudge. That seems to be intentional."
"Daoist Randeng and Maitreya are very close. When Maitreya was identified as Kun Peng's second essence soul, he defended Maitreya."
"It's said that the scriptures of the Western Sect were found in the stone coffin left behind by Randeng."
The entire spiritual mountain was in a state of alarm. Golden light flickered everywhere, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Fortunately, the Celestial Court did not make any movements this time. There were no intensive movements of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals stationed in the Aparagodānīya Continent.
A day later.
The five continents were unsealed. The Celestial Court announced the matter of the Deputy Hierarch of Chan School, Daoist Randeng. Although the heavenly secrets were blinded, some mighty figures with stronger deductions could also investigate this matter in the Heavenly Dao.
Who is the mighty figure in the stone coffin?
No one could answer this question. The only ones who knew the answer were probably the Three Pure Ones.
Li Changshou did not have any free time in the past three days. Just the discussion in the Lingxiao Hall took a day. Then, he stared at the mouths of all living beings. It was quite exhausting.
The most important thing after the battle was how to place the stone coffin.
The Saint of Taiqing personally sealed the thousand-feet-tall ice mountain. The stone coffin was thrown outside the Central Heavenly Gate and became neighbors with the "Rumor Shattering" Monument.
After thinking about it, Li Changshou put in a lot of effort to place the stone coffin.
He still wanted to use the stone coffin to trick the Western Sect …
The coffin lamp was already in his hand. There was no way for Randeng to turn around. The corpse in the stone coffin seemed to be an ancient mighty figure with an extremely high seniority. If a Saint of the Western Sect could not help but attack …
An idea flashed in his heart. Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and immediately had an idea.
He summoned Yang Jian and the Golden Roc. The paper effigy asked Bai Ze to test the luck of this trip. Li Changshou's main body hid in the dark to suppress the array. The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers escorted the ice mountain and slowly rushed to the Netherworld.
Three days later.
Outside Fengdu City, the Reincarnation Pagoda towered beside the Three Roads River.
The Ghost Servants dug a huge pit. A few Yama Lords summoned the power of the Heavenly Dao to pave the way. A group of Heavenly Generals took the blueprints and set up a few major array formations. The ice mountain was suppressed under the Reincarnation Pagoda.
On the top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda, Ksitigarbha, who was dressed in white, stood side by side with Li Changshou, who was dressed in green. They watched the busy scene outside the window.
Truth Listener hid in a corner and shivered. It waved its paws and brewed the Kung Fu tea.
Ksitigarbha frowned and said, "Why do I feel that you're plotting something?"
"Hey." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Daoist Brother, you know me. I never scheme for small benefits in front of major issues.
This mighty figure is no small matter. Teacher did not let me destroy his corpse, and the Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Punishment did not land in the stone coffin. He probably has a powerful background.
The mighty figure in the stone coffin is a corpse. It involves the Dao of Reincarnation.
In this world, the only thing that can suppress this stone coffin is the Reincarnation Pagoda. "
The corners of Ksitigarbha's mouth twitched slightly. "Every time you speak, Fellow Daoist, there must be a scheme hidden in it."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
"Sigh, this is the most basic form of trust between living beings."
Ksitigarbha scoffed. "I want to trust you, Fellow Daoist, but you have never trusted I."
"No." Li Changshou looked at Ksitigarbha. "When you jumped into the Reincarnation Pagoda, I really believed that you could sacrifice yourself and help the Western Sect.
At this moment, I'd like to ask you again, is it worth it? "
"The Western Sect is I's backer." Ksitigarbha put his hands in his sleeves and smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not. It's only about doing it or not."
Li Changshou nodded and said casually, "I thought that you were looking for a quiet place because you were disheartened by the Western Sect that day.
Just like now, isn't it good to raise dogs, cultivate the Dao, and comprehend all living beings? "
A soft voice sounded from the corner. "Lord Taibai Jinxing, I'm not a dog-type divine beast …"
"Huh?"
Li Changshou swept his gaze over. The Truth Listener divine beast trembled and turned its head "shyly".
"Woof."
Be wise and play safe, be wise and play safe.
Li Changshou smiled in satisfaction. He was not an evil god. He would not bully the weak divine beasts of the Primordial World.
Li Changshou asked again, "Has the sinful cultivator Maitreya come to look for you recently?"
"Sinful cultivator …"
Ksitigarbha smiled bitterly and sighed. "Fellow Daoist, have you thought about it? If the Three Realms becomes a place where the Celestial Court can make a single decision, it can make the Immortal Sects and Immortal Sects become evil.
With a single word, he could determine that mighty figures and mystical abilities were evil. With a single word, he could determine that the immortal sects were evil. With a single word, he could make the mortal cities of the South Continent change their flags. With a single word, he could make living beings unable to breathe …
What should I do? "
"Fellow Daoist, it's rare for you to think about such a problem."
Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and looked at the distant line in the sky.
"This problem can be summarized into one sentence. That is, how to supervise absolute power."
Ksitigarbha nodded slowly.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to worry about this in the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao is invisible, and the Celestial Court is visible. The two are one."
"What about the Heavenly Dao?"
Ksitigarbha asked softly. Li Changshou's expression did not change. Instead, he said, "Fellow Daoist, you are also in the Heavenly Dao sequence now. There are some things that you should say and some things that you should not say. You have to weigh them carefully."
Ksitigarbha sighed and said, "Sometimes, I really can't see what you are plotting.
Every time I think I have figured out your thoughts and deduced your final goal, I always predict your next move wrongly. "
"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. What schemes?" Li Changshou smiled and said, "I'm just taking advantage of the situation. Teacher ordered me to assist the Celestial Court, so I will assist the Celestial Court."
"Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"I believe you." Ksitigarbha chuckled and looked at the sky with Li Changshou. He did not say anything else.
Under the Reincarnation Pagoda, the ice mountain had already been buried by layers of array formations. Li Changshou quickly bade farewell and left. It was rare for him to come here, so he naturally had to visit the Lady of Earth.
At the same time, he would prepare for his master, Qiyuan Laodao, to reincarnate in advance.
…
Dealing with Daoist Randeng was indeed something worth celebrating.
However, Randeng was ultimately the Deputy Hierarch of Chan School. It was not suitable for him to decorate the place with lanterns and drums. Therefore, Li Changshou ordered that the Celestial Court was strictly prohibited from singing and dancing for a year.
It was impossible to ban the banquet. After all, Grandpa Chao and the others did not leave the Celestial Court. Instead, they went to the "fake mountain" in the backyard of the Grand White Palace. They ate, drank, and laughed. It was very lively.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qiong Mount was now in the Celestial Court and could not be casually approached. Such liveliness was rare.
After the "Longevity Blows Lamp", Guang Chengzi and the Old Man of the South Pole only stayed in the Celestial Court for half a day. They set the tone for this matter and explained that Chan School did not know what Randeng had done. Then, they bade farewell and left.
Before the two of them left, Li Changshou sent them to the Central Heavenly Gate and spoke on the cloud along the way.
Li Changshou was naturally apologizing. He said that he was a little excited this time. After seeing Randeng, he could not help but design a wave of Randeng and ignore the dignity of Chan School.
However, he did not expect to accidentally dig out such a huge crime during the battle.
Guang Chengzi only sighed and did not answer. He was not interested in talking, and the word "disappointment" was engraved on his face.
On the other hand, the kind-looking Old Man of the South Pole and Li Changshou sighed and said that they had misjudged. Chan School was definitely not a place to hide evil.
Li Changshou really believed the Old Man of the South Pole's words.
There was no other reason. From Second Uncle-Master's temperament to the teachings of Chan School, he did not allow extremely ferocious disciples like Randeng who ate the Major Chiliocosm.
Clearly, Randeng could hide from the Heavenly Dao with the stone coffin.
When they arrived at the Central Heavenly Gate, Li Changshou bade farewell to the two "Eldest Senior Brothers" of Chan School. A thought flashed in his heart and he suddenly asked,
"Senior Brother South Pole?"
"Changgeng, what else do you have to remind me of?" The Old Man of the South Pole turned around with a smile and looked at Li Changshou kindly.
Li Changshou smiled and said, "There are many missing righteous gods in the Celestial Court. There is a type of itinerant cultivator who does not have to care about anything usually. However, they represent blessings, wealth, and longevity. They can obtain endless merit from incense offerings.
I wonder if Senior Brother South Pole is willing to come to the Celestial Court to be an immortal and be one of the righteous gods of fortune and longevity. He will bring good luck to all living beings in the world.
Moreover, this person does not have to do anything. He does not have to be a servant in the Celestial Court. He only needs to appear at some major events, such as the Immortal Peach Banquet and the birthday of the Jade Emperor Queen Mother every thousand years.
Senior Brother, what do you think? "
"Well …"
"If Senior Brother is interested, I'll immediately report to the Jade Emperor and let His Majesty decide personally."
The Old Man of the South Pole pondered for a while and smiled. "No matter what, thank you for your kind intentions, Junior Brother Changgeng. I have to ask Teacher about this before I can reply to you."
Li Changshou said, "Senior Brother, please give me a message.
Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, don't blame me. You have to deal with the matters of Chan School usually. There are already many matters. I really don't dare to trouble you with the matters of the Celestial Court. "
Guang Chengzi nodded with a smile and did not say anything. He bade farewell and left with the Old Man of the South Pole.
This wave, this wave was nothing new either.
It was just "Equilibrium".
In just a few days, the Old Man of the South Pole naturally did not reply. When Li Changshou returned to the Celestial Court from the Netherworld, he specially asked the Heavenly Generals guarding the gate. They had not heard that the Old Man of the South Pole had returned.
There was no hurry. He would wait slowly. There was a high chance that Chan School would agree.
After all, to Chan School, this matter was beneficial and harmless. At the same time, it could offset the negative effects of Randeng's death.
To be honest, that was all Li Changshou could do.
He entered the East Heavenly Gate and took the Grand White Palace.
There were people who bowed and called out the immortals of the Star Lords everywhere.
Li Changshou smiled and nodded in response. Before he arrived at the Great White Palace, his immortal senses had already seen the beautiful figure pacing back and forth in front of the Great White Hall.
Why … didn't she go in?
At the same time, in the Chaos Sea.
"Eh? These guys are quite mighty. I wonder if the disciples like them. "
A young Daoist looked at the mystic realm in front of him and muttered softly.
