When Zhao Gongming left the Xiao Qiong Mount, he felt like a thief who had succeeded in escaping. He always felt sneaky.
Li Changshou hinted to him that the weak Cosmic Ruler was still an item of the Celestial Court. He could let Zhao Gongming secretly study it and not use it against the enemy.
The Cosmic Ruler, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls …
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat on a rocking chair and snapped his fingers. The short table and jade plates in the room disappeared. He stood up and placed the half-finished bottle of immortal wine in the bookshelf.
The death of Randeng had a long lasting effect.
Li Changshou shifted his attention to the various paper effigies and monitored the public opinion in the five continents of the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm.
Although the authority of the Celestial Court was bestowed by the Heavenly Dao and came from the top, the "Big Mouth of All Living Beings" only concerned the reputation of the Celestial Court and could not shake the status of the Celestial Court.
However, before the Great Tribulation, it would be excellent if the Celestial Court could be stronger and more open-minded. It would make the immortals of the Dao Sect who were facing the tribulation less resistant.
His ears picked up a few noises as he walked.
Li Changshou opened his left eye and saw a little fairy fiddling with her Dharma treasure reclining chair. She secretly leaned against his side and smiled faintly. She continued to busy herself.
Ling 'e secretly sat down and took out a sutra to read carefully. From time to time, she would glance at her senior brother, as if she was worried that she would be punished for being too jumpy at the immortal banquet.
Senior Brother, are you asleep?
Ling 'e twirled a wisp of black hair with her slender fingers and fell into a daze.
The sunlight warmed one's heart, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the wind.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Changshou asked casually.
Ling 'e's hand trembled. She turned to look at her senior brother, who had his eyes closed. "Nothing … Senior Brother, didn't you rest?"
"Yes," Li Changshou said, "I'm busy with some small things."
"Then go ahead, go ahead," Ling 'e said with a guilty conscience. "I'll stay here for a while."
Li Changshou responded and continued to close his eyes and concentrate, his mind sweeping through the surroundings.
After coming to the Celestial Court, it was quite troublesome to send paper effigies out. Li Changshou made a few fake Heavenly Generals to make it convenient for the paper effigies to enter and exit.
His mental strength was limited. It was impossible for him to observe every corner of the Three Realms in a short period of time like Teacher Taiqing.
Not long after, Li Changshou asked casually, "Have you been happy these past few days?"
"En!" Ling 'e immediately became interested and whispered, "However, with a few experts around, I always feel a little reserved. If Sister Yun Xiao and Senior Sister Youqin come alone, they should be more at ease."
"You call that being reserved?"
Li Changshou jokingly scolded, "Looks like you haven't copied enough scriptures in the past two hundred years."
"Senior Brother …"
Ling 'e's face was filled with grievance. "Don't tell me you still want me to copy the Steadiness Sutra? There aren't enough stone slabs on the mountain."
Li Changshou opened his eyes and stared at Ling 'e's chest. Just as Ling' e could not help but blush and wanted to raise her hand to cover her collar, she was afraid that she would distance herself from her senior brother. She tried her best to overcome the shyness in her heart and straightened her delicate body …
Li Changshou said slowly, "My essence soul is pure.
"My primordial soul is pure and has a hint of perfection.
My Dao base is solid, and there's still some room for improvement. I'm about 36,000 copies of the Steadiness Sutra before I reach the Gold God Tribulation. "
Ling 'e was rendered speechless.
"I keep feeling that you're fooling me, Senior Brother."
"Am I fooling you?"
Li Changshou smiled calmly. "Whether you write or not depends on your heart. Whether you copy or not depends on your consciousness.
Are you cultivating for me?
The Great Dao of Longevity is right in front of you. Whether you can live carefreely depends on whether your life realm can evolve.
I don't want to give you too much pressure, and I won't say things like I'll bring you to open the door to a new world if you survive the Longevity Tribulation.
But Junior Sister. "
"Senior Brother, tell me …"
There was a rare gentleness in Li Changshou's eyes. He said in a low voice, "I hope that you can always stay by my side and not let tens of thousands of years pass by in a hurry."
"Alright, Senior Brother! I'll go and copy the Steadiness Sutra now! Thirty-six thousand times, right?! "
Ling 'e was shocked. Her face was filled with urgency. She turned around and jumped up. She was valiant and high-spirited. She patted her chest loudly.
"I'll go and copy it now!"
"Remember, don't just pursue quantity," Li Changshou reminded. "You have to comprehend and understand."
"No problem!"
"All the best."
"Yes!" Ling 'e agreed with a firm gaze. She turned around and rushed into the Pill Chamber to cultivate in the secret underground chamber.
Li Changshou chuckled and continued to shift his attention. There was a hint of a smile in his narrowed eyes.
If everything went smoothly like how he got rid of Randeng this time, it would be for the best …
Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestor, Great Tribulation.
Balance, variables, transcendence.
With a flash, Li Changshou's main body left the Xiao Qiong Mount. He hid his tracks and passed through the clouds and fog, fleeing towards the Nine Heavens.
…
Although Randeng was dead, the aftershocks could not stop.
Just as Li Changshou had expected, it did not matter if the Deputy Hierarch of Chan School died because of the Celestial Court's punishment or personal grudges. What was important was that the Celestial Court punished the Deputy Hierarch of Chan School, Randeng.
From that incident onwards, the Celestial Court was officially half a body higher than the Saint's sect. No one dared to provoke the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals stationed everywhere.
After taking the crucial step, Li Changshou's subsequent actions were rather meticulous.
After killing Randeng, he did not appear for three years. The moment he appeared, he rushed to the Jade Void Palace of Chan School.
This time, Li Changshou landed at the foot of the Jade Void Palace and restored his young face. He walked up the stairs in front of the mountain gate and held a wooden ruler in his hand.
It was a mutated version of the Primordial World.
A melodious bell sounded in the Jade Void Palace. Guang Chengzi led many disciples of Chan School to the mountain gate to welcome him.
Li Changshou walked to the front of the mountain gate and looked ashamed. He held the long ruler in his hand and bowed deeply to the immortals of Chan School. He sighed and said, "Previously, I killed Randeng because of my old grudge with Daoist Randeng. Today, I specially came to apologize for this matter.
Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, please pass the message that I wish to meet Second Uncle-Master. "
Guang Chengzi also sighed and said, "Junior Brother, Randeng deceived everyone in Chan School and committed an unforgivable crime. He refined the Major Chiliocosm for his own cultivation. He should have had this calamity.
Although you have a personal grudge, you have such a public relationship. How can you ask for forgiveness? "
"Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, please pass the message on my behalf." Li Changshou lowered his head and said, "If I can't meet Second Uncle-Master and be taught a lesson by him, I will not be able to feel at ease."
"Alright, enter the hall. Junior Brother and Junior Sister, entertain me well. I'll go to the back mountain to meet Teacher now."
Guang Chengzi agreed and left in a hurry on a cloud. Chi Jingzi and Perfected Huang Long walked forward and led Li Changshou into the Jade Void Hall.
The time when Li Changshou came to apologize was rather particular.
It was naturally not because he had stayed in the Taiqing Temple until now.
He did not stay for long at the Taiqing Temple this time. He returned after saying more than twenty words to his teacher. He had stayed for less than two years.
He rushed to the Jade Void Palace at this point to ask for forgiveness.
If he came to the Jade Void Palace after killing Randeng, it would be a demonstration.
Of course, he could not delay it for too long. If Li Changshou came to the Jade Void Palace to ask for forgiveness after everyone in Chan School calmed down, it would be obvious that he did not want Chan School to be peaceful. He would also be suspected of stirring up trouble.
Li Changshou only stood quietly in the hall and did not take a seat. The surrounding Daoists exchanged pleasantries, and he only agreed simply.
Soon, Guang Chengzi returned and said a few words to Li Changshou warmly. He led Li Changshou to the Three Friends Courtyard.
The fog was ethereal, and the wooden house was empty.
The wooden door of the small courtyard was ajar. Guang Chengzi bowed with Li Changshou outside and shouted, "Teacher, Changgeng has arrived."
The courtyard door slowly opened. Guang Chengzi turned around and made an inviting gesture. He brought Li Changshou in.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning sat quietly on the rocking chair under the tree.
The chair swayed gently. The Lord Sage was playing with a golden gourd. There was a smile on his lips, and the entire courtyard became rather warm.
Li Changshou quickly walked forward and knelt 30 feet away. He placed the long ruler in front of him and whispered,
"Disciple Li Changgeng greets Uncle-Master!"
The Saint asked, "Changgeng, what are you doing? Why did you bring a ruler?"
Li Changshou said loudly, "I was rash previously.
When I saw Randeng, I was enraged. I fought him in the Heavenly Palace and destroyed him in front of the Lingxiao Hall.
Although I have a clear conscience, I did not consider it. I did not care about Chan School's face and ruined your pride and schemes, Uncle-Master.
This disciple brought this ruler here to ask for forgiveness and punishment.
Second Uncle-Master, please punish me as you please. I'm willing to accept it! "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning could not help but chuckle and say, "You crafty fellow. You said everything in advance so that I can't flare up?"
"This …" Li Changshou did not dare to be rude. He lowered his head and shouted, "I definitely did not mean that! I sincerely accept my punishment! "
"Get up." The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning sighed softly. The wooden door of the small courtyard slowly closed.
Li Changshou suddenly felt some changes in the Saint's Dao runes. The universe in the courtyard seemed to be a whole, giving him a feeling similar to the interior of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Yes, his connection with the paper effigy had become very weak. He could only passively sense their condition.
The Saint's methods seemed to have isolated the Heavenly Dao's surveillance.
"Yes, Master."
Li Changshou quickly got up. He lowered his head, shrunk his shoulders, and pressed his hands against the outside of his thighs. He leaned forward slightly and vividly performed a Primordial World performance class.
"Coward".
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said, "You just said that killing Randeng ruined I's plan.
Then tell me, what is I's plan? "
Li Changshou secretly calculated in his heart. He did not dare to lie in front of the Saint, nor could he really guess the Saint's intentions. He could not show that he was too ignorant …
Li Changshou deliberated over his words and said slowly, "It's just a random guess.
I feel that Second Uncle-Master will tolerate Randeng forming factions and sowing discord in the sect. He should be using Randeng to do something big.
For example, plot against the Western Sect.
Ever since the ancient times, the Dao Ancestor personally said that the Western Sect would definitely prosper. I think that as the Hierarch of the Three Sects of the Dao Sect, he would have his own plans.
Teacher told me this before. "
Those words seemed to have said something, but there was no substance. However, the listener would think of something. It was also a small skill of Li Changshou.
"Alright," the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning replied with a smile. "I did want to use Randeng to plot against the Western Sect. However, Randeng has been killed by you. I's plan has failed.
Changgeng, how can you make up for that? "
"This …"
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "If Second Uncle-Master has an order, I will naturally obey.
Teacher is rather dissatisfied with the Western Sect. Therefore, I have targeted them everywhere. Now, it has some effects. At the very least, it has delayed the prosperity of the Western Sect.
It is also because the Western Sect is too arrogant and has offended the Celestial Court too deeply.
Second Uncle-Master, I actually have something else to say today … "
"Just say it."
"I extinguished Randeng in front of the Lingxiao Hall. Now, there are rumors everywhere in the world that the Celestial Court is not on good terms with Chan School and is too close to Jie School. In the Great Tribulation, they will definitely injure Chan School."
Li Changshou paused and sighed. "Actually, the three sects are one family. I'm only following Teacher's orders.
In Jie School, I care about Yun Xiao and Gongming. The former is a fairy that I admire, and the latter is a good friend who I have a close relationship with.
Therefore, I will try my best to give the siblings a chance of survival before the killing tribulation arrives.
Apart from that, I will not be selfish or biased. During the Great Tribulation, I will also use the changes in the Heavenly Dao Tribulation as the standard. I will mainly focus on the remnant souls on the ranking and not interfere with the life and death of immortals. "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning nodded slowly and said, "I am quite gratified that you can think that way.
However, the Western Sect has already entered the calamity. Everything is uncertain. I can't see what will happen in the future.
Continue. "
"Yes, I want to invite Senior Brother Old Man of the South Pole to work in the Celestial Court," Li Changshou said seriously. "I have already discussed this matter with Senior Brother Old Man of the South Pole previously, but I have not received a reply from him.
If Senior Brother feels that it's inappropriate to appear in the Celestial Court, it's just in name. Just announce it to the public. "
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning smiled and said, "South Pole, what do you think?"
As soon as the Saint finished speaking, the door of the straw hut beside the small courtyard opened. The Old Man of the South Pole rode a cloud and floated out. He bowed to the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and bowed to Guangchengzi and Li Changshou.
Li Changshou secretly raised his eyebrows …
He lives with the Lord Sage and still says that he is not the Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School in secret?
The Old Man of the South Pole said slowly, "I will follow Teacher's decision. I will think about everything for Chan School."
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning smiled and said, "In that case, agree to this matter. Don't let Changgeng hang around."
"Thank you, Second Uncle-Master. Thank you, Senior Brother of the South Pole!"
Li Changshou looked happy. He seemed to have let go of some of his worries and became much more relaxed.
He said, "Previously, I have already asked the Jade Emperor about this matter. I will go back and write a memorial. I will ask the Jade Emperor to officially issue a decree. The decree will be completed in about ten years!
Senior Brother of the South Pole, do you care about the rank of the Deity Position? "
The Old Man of the South Pole smiled and said, "It's just an empty reputation. Why should I care?"
"Then let's set a third-rank Deity Position and a second-rank salary. How about that?"
"Alright." The Old Man of the South Pole smiled. He also knew that the Celestial Court's Deity Position was divided into three ranks. It was really not small.
Li Changshou secretly observed Guangchengzi's reaction and took the opportunity to tell the Old Man of the South Pole about the interesting matters of the Celestial Court.
In that case, the Old Man of the South Pole could avoid the God-Conferment Tribulation. Guangchengzi was destined to represent Chan School to fight Jie School.
That arrangement was definitely not because Guangchengzi had schemed against his personal feelings previously.
After all, Changshou was not a vengeful person.
…
…
After staying in the Three Friends Courtyard for half a day, Li Changshou chatted with the Old Man of the South Pole, played chess, and received the guidance of the two Saints of the Dao Sect.
Although he did not have any substantial treasures, mystical abilities, or cultivation techniques, he had narrowed the distance between him and Chan School.
If he wanted to accurately control the casualties of the Great Tribulation and satisfy the "amount" set by the Heavenly Dao, he had to maintain a "close" relationship with the upper echelons of Chan School and Jie School.
At the crucial moment, he could shout and stop.
On the way back to the Celestial Court, Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He naturally did not forget the immortal mountain that had suddenly appeared in the East Ocean.
Go and investigate?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that something was amiss.
If the immortal mountain was really Huaguo Mountain, why did it appear at this juncture and at this time?
The rumors about the immortal mountain happened to appear when the Celestial Court attacked the Western Sect and killed the Primordial Beasts and ancient demonic beasts …
According to Li Changshou's understanding of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao had a hidden rule. It was similar to "When the Heavens are about to give a person a great responsibility, they must first cut off the network, smash their computers, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies."
It meant that whoever the Heavenly Dao wanted to prosper would suffer.
From another perspective, the more hardships one experienced, the easier it would be to obtain the favor of the Heavenly Dao.
If that was the case, the Western Sect's previous losses were a sign of prosperity. Then, this immortal mountain …
Buzz!
Dao runes suddenly trembled in his Dao heart. Li Changshou shuddered and saw a red embroidered ball flickering in his spiritual platform.
Goddess Nuwa summoned me?
Does she want to read a new comic again?
Li Changshou did not dare to be careless. He checked the three-piece Taiqing set that he had brought with him when he went out. He checked the power of the True Cosmic Ruler, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and the Taiji Painting. He turned around and was about to head out of the East Heaven.
However, just as he was halfway there, there was another ripple of Daoist Rhyme in his spirit platform. This obscure Daoist Rhyme carried an indescribable … sense of indecency.
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Changgeng, come to the Green Touring Palace quickly. See what treasures Aunt-Master has brought for you!"
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Where should I go first?
The Saint's summoning was clearly a beautiful thing that ordinary Zenith Heaven Qi Refinement cultivators did not dare to think about.
Why did he suddenly feel a little sad?
