It was not difficult to find a reason to conceal his true purpose in going to the Chaos Sea this time.
Li Changshou had always kept a secret pawn. He was waiting to fulfill his promise to the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch and use the Kun Peng Ark to surround the Chaos Bell.
As the dignified Hierarch, he could not possibly fight a battle that he was unprepared for.
However, it would take at least fifty years for him to return …
Li Changshou was a little worried.
Now that the God-Conferment Tribulation was not far away, if he left the Primordial World for too long, the situation would change again and he would not be able to deal with it in time. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
To Li Changshou, capturing the Chaos Bell was indeed a small matter.
It was not that he looked down on the Chaos Bell. After all, it was the three-piece Heaven-Splitting Set. If he underestimated it, the Taiji Painting would teach him a lesson in an instant.
It was purely because Li Changshou did not think highly of this trip. He estimated that the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch and himself only had a 30% chance of capturing the Chaos Bell.
"There's a 70% chance of failure." If he rounded it up, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
The more he communicated with the boss of the Taiji Painting, the more Li Changshou knew about the mysticism of the Heaven-Splitting Set. He also knew that the Heaven-Splitting Axe that had once followed Pangu was extraordinary.
The Pangu Banner could cut open the Chaos Sea.
The Taiji Painting determined the rules of the universe, Yin and Yang, and the opposite.
Only the Chaos Bell had been controlled by the East Emperor Taiyi in the ancient times. However, no one could accurately say what was magical about it. It was only rumored that it could travel through the long river of time with the Chaos Bell.
If that rumor was true, it would indeed be terrifying.
Back then, the East Emperor Taiyi seemed to have only treated the Chaos Bell as a defensive treasure.
As for the Chaos Bell and the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch, they kept fighting a battle of wits and courage. They shouted, "Hahahahaha, you can't catch up to me, right?"
Li Changshou reckoned that the treasure was not as simple as becoming a spirit. Even if he had the Kun Peng Ark, it would not be optimistic.
How should I deal with this matter?
Previously, when he agreed to the Grandmaster of Heaven, he did not expect him to delay the matter until today.
"What's wrong, Chang Geng? Do you have any difficulties?"
"No, there's nothing difficult about it." Li Changshou quickly made up his mind and said with a smile, "This disciple has already made preparations for this matter. I'm just waiting for Martial Uncle's instructions.
Although it was a little late, he still didn't rush out when the killing tribulation descended.
But Martial Uncle, disciple has two requests. The first is to set a deadline. I must return within a few years. Disciple is worried that the situation in the Celestial Court will go out of control.
Secondly, try not to make this matter public. I'm worried that if the Western Sect finds out that I've left the Primordial World, they will target the Celestial Court like last time. "
The Hierarch of Tongtian smiled and said, "Alright, Chang Geng, you are a dependable person, you can make the arrangements."
"Thank you, Martial Uncle."
The pool water made a sound. Li Changshou sat at the edge and cupped his hands. In his heart, he had already secretly mobilized the paper effigies to get busy.
Half a day later, Li Changshou left the Green Touring Palace and chatted with Daoist Duobao, who was sending him off. Then, he turned around and headed towards the Heaven Gate in the sky. Nothing seemed to have happened.
In the Green Touring Palace, the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch disappeared again.
However, before he left, he summoned the Goddess of Golden Spirit. No one knew what the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch had said to the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
A medium-sized scene quietly played out on the stage of the Primordial World.
Half a month later, in the Grand White Palace.
The Golden Roc returned in a hurry from the trichiliocosm. It said that there had been otherworldly demons causing trouble in the trichiliocosm recently. From the edge of the trichiliocosm to the inner region of the trichiliocosm, hundreds of otherworldly demons had attacked the Qi Refinement cultivators.
Hence, Li Changshou drafted a memorial and brought it to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to report the matter in front of the immortals and gods of the Celestial Court.
The Jade Emperor had long received Li Changshou's secret report. He turned a blind eye to the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch's desire to create the Chaos Bell and allowed Li Changshou to submit the memorial.
"Suppress the otherworldly demons!"
That sounded like the Celestial Court.
The crusade this time was not ordinary. It was not sending the Heavenly Soldiers to the Chaos Sea to fight. Those who were not the Golden God could not withstand the suppression of the Chaos aura.
To resist the Chaos aura, one had to have a complete Dao. The third-grade Golden God was the threshold to enter the Chaos Sea.
The Jade Emperor used the Golden-Winged Roc as the marshal. The Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Ao Yi, was the deputy commander. He ordered Mei Wenhua, Mei Dixian, Mei Liubing, and Mei Xinqing to be the generals. They left the Chaos Sea through Xuandu City to search for the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy.
Li Changshou gave the Golden Roc a stack of paper effigies and a few treasure pouches in front of everyone. He also reminded the Golden Roc to make more preparations when he went out of the Chaos Sea and not to advance rashly.
The Heavenly Fiend Supremacy was a Connate Godfiend. He had escaped the Pangu Divine Axe back then. Just from his qualifications, he was quite difficult to deal with.
Soon, such a "huge matter" spread throughout the Primordial World.
The otherworldly demons were the nemesis of most Essence Soul Dao Qi Refinement cultivators. The actions of the Celestial Court made many Qi Refinement cultivators praise them.
They swaggered and made noises.
The Golden Roc, Ao Yi, and the Four Mei Generals led the 30,000 elite Heavenly Soldiers of the Celestial Court towards Xuandu City.
Another month later, the Celestial Court and the others arrived at the entrance of Xuandu City. The 30,000 Heavenly Soldiers were stationed there to guard the entrance.
Ao Yi stayed in the Xuandu City and did the work of receiving them.
Only the Golden Roc brought the Four Mei Generals into the Chaos Sea and quickly disappeared.
"Little Junior Brother, what are you doing?"
The Great Daoist Master looked in the direction where the Golden Roc had disappeared and stood on the city wall, puzzled.
Beside him, Kong Xuan, who was dressed in a light blue dress and looked charming and delicate, pondered for a while and smiled. "Why didn't you ask him directly just now?"
"Ahem." The Great Daoist Master puffed out his chest and raised his head. He said calmly, "I have to have the dignity of an Eldest Senior Brother.
Moreover, just now, he only sent a voice transmission to me to warn me. He did not directly appear and hurriedly escaped into the Chaos Sea. He probably has something urgent to attend to. "
"You're really comfortable being the Eldest Senior Brother."
Kong Xuan said softly, "Sleep and cultivate here all day. There's no need to worry about the Three Sects."
"Capable people do more work."
The Great Daoist Master stretched and replaced the reclining chair behind him with a soft couch. He lay on it comfortably.
Kong Xuan walked up gently and tapped the Great Daoist Master's leg with her slender fingers. The Great Daoist Master's cloth shoes fell off on their own.
Then, she meditated and cultivated in the corner of the soft couch.
The Great Daoist Master yawned and said, "The Primordial World is so huge. Why don't you walk around and take a look? There's no need to guard this place."
The corner of Kong Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. "I won't hinder you. Just go ahead and sleep."
"I'm afraid that you'll be bored."
The Great Daoist Master squinted and smiled. Soon, he closed his eyes and started snoring.
Kong Xuan lowered her head and stared at the Great Daoist Master's face. She moved her slender fingers over. Her fingertips were only an inch away from the Great Daoist Master, but she did not really touch him. She slowly slid past his outline.
"How good would it be if I could enter your dream."
She muttered softly, her eyes filled with gentleness. She leaned against the armrest of the soft couch and fell into a daze.
Ao Yi, who was under the city wall, was rendered speechless.
What kind of immortal couple is this!?!
Does Ren School think that there are not many Perfected Ones?
Any one of them would be able to challenge the existences below the Saints of the Western Sect!
As Brother Hierarch's most trusted younger brother, Ao Yi felt that he should not have such thoughts.
However, when he saw the interaction between Big Sister Kong Xuan and the Great Daoist Master, Ao Yi felt that he … felt aggrieved for the Western Sect!
He felt aggrieved.
Shaking his head, Ao Yi looked at the Yin-Yang Array on the ground beside him. He also perked up and was prepared to be on guard against any attacks.
Brother Hierarch had told him that this ordinary-looking array was no small matter.
Ao Yi did not know the exact function of the array formation. It was not for protection, killing, teleportation, or searching. It contained the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. The Dao runes were obscure and difficult to understand …
To be safe, Ao Yi did not comprehend the array formation. He sat cross-legged at the side and set up a simple concealment barrier outside.
Another seven to eight days passed in the Primordial World.
In the Chaos Sea, a black shadow spread its wings and glided past. Due to the chaos in the Chaos Sea, it was impossible to describe how huge its body was or how fast it was.
In short, it was huge.
If the experts of the Primordial World who had fought for the Primordial Violet Qi in Xuandu City back then saw its figure, they would naturally be extremely shocked. Why did Kun Peng return to its original state?
The Kun Fish transformed into Kun Peng again.
In an ancient stone hall near the heart meridian in Kun Peng, the Golden Roc stood quietly. The Four Mei Generals knelt on the left and right.
Li Changshou, who should not have appeared there, sat on a meditation cushion and frowned as he looked at the slowly rotating Taiji Painting in front of him.
The Yin and Yang Qi slowly rotated, and a blurry image began to appear in the Taiji Painting. Then, the image gradually became clear, revealing the situation of Xiao Qiong Mount.
With a thought, Li Changshou enlarged the image a little. He could see Ling 'e sitting by the pool, hugging the stone slab, and chuckling.
Half of the stone slab was engraved with the Steadiness Sutra, while the remaining half was engraved with Li Changshou's figure.
This girl …
Forget it, I'll just punish her more when I go back.
With another thought, the Yin and Yang Qi pulled. A 2,000-feet-tall statue of a fairy appeared in the Taiji Painting. It was naturally the situation in the Three-Immortal Island.
Of course, that was agreed to by Yun Xiao.
With a thought, the image in the Taiji Painting began to change rapidly like a stream of light and illusion.
From the residence of the Demon Soldiers of the Sea God Sect in the South Sea to the few large tribes of the Magi of the North Continent, from the Celestial Court to the Eighteen Levels of Hell of the Netherworld.
The wisps of Yin and Yang Qi in the world became Li Changshou's eyes.
In order to fulfill his promise to the Grandmaster of Taiqing Hierarch, Li Changshou specially borrowed the Taiji Painting from his teacher in Taiqing. He wanted to use the power of the Taiji Painting to monitor the Primordial World at any time.
That was not all.
The Taiji Painting controlled the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. There were also fragments of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang and the Great Dao of the Universe scattered in the Chaos Sea.
Li Changshou would collect the fragments along the way and pile them up everywhere along the way. He would wrap them in the Chaos Spirit Array that Senior Lang had created.
In that case, as long as anything happened in the Primordial World, Li Changshou could ride the Taiji Painting and hold the Cosmic Ruler to return to the Primordial World at the fastest speed.
Apart from that, Li Changshou had also prepared some trinkets. The most important one was a timer Dharma artifact.
In the Kun Peng's body, it was not affected by the Disorderly Dao Laws. These Dharma artifacts could also be used normally.
Ring … Ring …
A copper bell suddenly shook gently beside him. Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and made the Kun Peng slow down. He said to the Golden Roc, "Go and pick up the senior brothers and sisters of Jie School for me."
"Yes, Teacher!"
The Golden Roc cupped his fists and agreed. He turned around and transformed into a golden light to escape the hall. He flew out of the Kun Peng's back through the path in his body.
Not long after, the Golden Roc transformed into its main body and returned. There were three figures on its back. They were Zhao Gongming, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit.
The three experts of Jie School looked around. After confirming that it was the Demon Master Kun Peng from back then, their jaws almost dropped.
After they met up with Li Changshou, they could not help but ask questions.
Li Changshou naturally would not mention Senior Lang. He only explained simply that the Kun Peng had been subdued by him. At that moment, it no longer had a normal mind and was like a Dharma treasure ship.
The Goddess of Turtle Spirit praised, "Even a ruthless person like the Kun Peng lost to Junior Brother Changgeng. I really … don't know how to comment."
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. "This place is not bad. You guys talk about serious matters first. I'll find a corner to cultivate for a while. Recently, I've been thinking about the treasure that Changgeng gave me. I'm starting to make some progress."
"Brother, don't be anxious. Is the Qingping Sword here?"
"It's with me." The Goddess of Golden Spirit flipped her hand. As green light surrounded her, the Qingping Sword appeared in her palm.
Li Changshou cupped his hands at the Qingping Sword and said, "Please point in a direction. We'll chase after the Grandmaster of Heaven now and try to return as soon as possible."
The Qingping Sword trembled slightly and floated up on its own. The tip of the sword pointed upwards.
Li Changshou took out the jade token that controlled the Kun Peng. He tapped it a few times with his fingers. The stone hall trembled slightly. The Kun Peng flapped its wings and rushed deeper into the Chaos Sea.
Li Changshou said, "When we return, don't forget to capture the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy. We have to go all out if we want to put on a show."
The Golden Roc lowered its head and accepted the order. The Four Mei Generals did not dare to move at that moment. They only knelt there and emitted a holy light.
In the corner of the stone hall, Zhao Gongming had already fallen into Dao enlightenment. The weak Cosmic Ruler was slowly rotating around him.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit smiled and said, "It's rare to see him so diligent."
"Where the opportunity is." Li Changshou smiled and muttered softly, "I thought that Yun Xiao would come too."
"Master specially instructed me not to let Junior Sister Yun Xiao move this time."
The Goddess of Golden Spirit's eyes were filled with mischief. She teased him and said, "We're going to do something serious this time. Master was afraid that you guys would be too focused on talking about love and let go of the treasure."
After saying that, the Goddess of Golden Spirit blinked at him and brought the Goddess of Turtle Spirit to Zhao Gongming's side. She also meditated and cultivated.
Li Changshou chuckled and shook his head.
Do you really not know the principle of "when men and women work together, the work will be doubled"?
Li Changshou sat back on his meditation cushion. Half of his attention was focused on comprehending the Primordial Violet Qi in Kun Peng's essence soul. The other half was focused on the Taiji Painting and observing the various parts of the Primordial World.
He could take advantage of this opportunity to carry out the next stage of Heart Training.
Now, the improvement of the Dao Realm was relatively slow. He could no longer make a small breakthrough every few months. It was time to dig out his potential in various aspects.
The Chaos Sea was endless. He did not know where the Chaos Bell was hiding.
Previously, the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch had run in the Chaos Sea for so long in order to find the Chaos Bell. He reckoned that the journey there this time would not be short.
According to the previous plan, Li Changshou kept leaving behind "buoys" made of Dao law fragments to let the "legacy array" left behind by Senior Lang release more light and heat.
Hence, twenty-three years later.
Buzz! Buzz!
The Qingping Sword, which was floating in the middle of the hall, suddenly flickered with a resplendent sword beam, waking up the experts in the hall.
Li Changshou stood up and followed the guidance of the Qingping Sword. He began to make the Kun Peng change its direction.
Stop the Chaos Bell!
…
An unfamiliar sky, an unfamiliar world, and an unfamiliar mountain.
'Where is this?'
A gentle breeze blew past Lao Dao's body, causing him to be a little dazed.
Images surfaced in his heart. They seemed to be his memories, but they were incomplete and incoherent.
It seemed that his memories had been shattered into pieces, and only a small portion had been glued back.
Qi Yuan?
That seemed to be his Dao name.
Lao Dao pondered quietly. His lifeless eyes reflected the golden ball floating in the treasure pool in front of him. He lowered his head to look at his faint body.
Soul? Essence Soul?
He seemed to have been engulfed by a ball of flames and lost consciousness.
"Master!"
"Master ~"
"Changshou … Ling 'e …"
Lao Dao muttered softly. A few images appeared in his heart. It was a man and a woman, from young to old.
At this moment, a gentle golden light floated over from the side and wrapped around the old Taoist's shadow. His furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the images in his mind were arranged like a dream and revealed once again in order.
"I didn't die?"
Qiyuan Laodao fell into deep self-doubt. He had clearly been burned by the Golden Crow's True Fire. His Turbid Immortal Dao Body and essence soul were as weak as thin paper.
No, it was not as good as the thin paper used by his eldest disciple to make paper effigies.
He sighed in his heart. Most of his memories were missing, but the key memories were still there …
"Fellow Daoist, you have already passed away."
Qiyuan Laodao was stunned when he suddenly heard such a gentle voice. He turned his head and hurriedly stood up. He bowed to the female immortal standing on the hill in the distance.
"I'm the Qi Refinement cultivator of the Duxian Gate, Qi Yuan. Greetings, Senior. Thank you for saving my life!"
"Fellow Daoist, you're welcome," the Lady of Earth said warmly. "There's no need to thank me. I'm just returning the favor to Fellow Daoist Changshou."
"Senior, you're …"
"Lady of the Magi."
"Great … Great Virtue! Burp! "
Qiyuan Laodao's eyes widened. His legs went limp, and he knelt down.
However, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
After experiencing life and death, the dispersion of his soul, and then coming back to life from death and reuniting his remnant soul, his Dao Heart had undergone quite a great change.
The Lady of Earth raised her hand and helped Qiyuan Laodao up from afar.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to stand on ceremony. This is the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Although your soul is fine, you can still stay here for a few more days to accumulate some blessings and absorb the merit that Fellow Daoist Changshou gave you.
Fellow Daoist Changshou has been worried about your situation. This will make him feel more at ease. "
"Ah, yes." Qi Yuan agreed obediently and hurriedly asked, "Senior, are Changshou and Ling 'e fine?"
The Lady of Earth said, "Of course they're fine. Fellow Daoist Changshou is now ranked tenth in the Heavenly Dao sequence. His status in the Celestial Court is only second to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Fellow Daoist Ling 'e seems to have gone to the Celestial Court to cultivate in Fellow Daoist Changgeng's Grand White Palace. She rarely appears.
However, there's something that I have to ask you to consider. "
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"Now that Changshou is in charge of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, you are the master who raised him. The Heavenly Dao has appeared. After you reincarnate, you will also enter the Great Tribulation and become an important member of the God-Conferment Tribulation …"
Qi Yuan was a little stunned, as if he could not digest the information.
After listening to the Lady of Earth's explanation for a while, Qi Yuan said straightforwardly, "Senior, why don't you tell me what I should do to be the best for Changshou?"
"Before you reincarnate, drink a few mouthfuls of Meng Po's soup and forget your previous life."
Qi Yuan hurriedly agreed. "Senior, don't worry. I can drink a few more bowls at that time."
"Fellow Daoist, rest," the Lady of Earth said warmly. "When he comes next time, you can reincarnate."
"Thank you for your guidance, Lady of Earth."
"Yes."
The Lady of Earth replied gently. Her figure dissipated with the wind and disappeared.
