Chapter 480 The Heavens Bestow Treasures and the Lady of Earth’s Invitation
“Everyone, listen to my explanation. I really sensed that the Jade Emperor wanted to upgrade my Deity Position. For that, he added a second-stage Deity Position. Then, the power of the Heavenly Dao surged, and the divine lightning appeared there. Really, each…” Ah, what’s wrong with the Heavenly Dao? They were deliberately backstabbing him but they said it was a coincidence and Li Changshou took it seriously!
He also felt that there was indeed such a small probability. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is warning me about something? Li Changshou, who had been frozen by the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and had the Immortal-Binding Rope hanging on the roof beam, listened to the chatter and laughter from the cups beside him. He was speechless.
Speaking of which, why are the Taiji Painting, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Pagoda Master pretending to be disconnected? They are clearly wandering around by the essence soul! He was really pure! Fairy Yun Xiao said gently, “I believe him. Don’t make things difficult for him, Brother.” Indeed, those who cared about him really understood
him…
Yun Xiao continued, “It’s only natural for Postnatal living beings to have more emotions and desires. He likes to listen to songs and watch dances. I knew that before. I won’t blame him for this. I can accept his preferences.”
The black lines on Li Changshou’s forehead became thicker.
The fairy suddenly became mischievous! The Goddess of Golden Spirit scolded angrily, “How can the disciples of Jie School suffer such grievances!?!”
“That’s right, that’s right.” Perfected Taiyi fanned the flames. “Heng’e from the Heavenly Courts is known as the number one beauty in the Three Realms. We have to be wary of her.” Li Changshou glared at him and Perfected Taiyi smiled. Li Changshou calmly sent a voice transmission. “I wonder how the spiritual pearl has been cultivating recently. What I saw previously was quite effective.” Perfected Taiyi’s smile stiffened. He cleared his throat and said with his hands behind his back, “Everyone, although we’re joking, we still have to trust Changgeng’s character.” Fairy Yun Xiao held back her smile and sighed softly. She turned her back to Li Changshou and chatted with the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
Li Changshou tilted his head and sighed. He hung on the beam and rested for a while.
The matters in the Netherworld were temporarily settled. The Heavenly Dao owed him two huge merits.
The battle with the Western Sect had to be carried out in the Trichiliocosm. On the surface, they would go against the Western Immortal Dao Alliance and secretly support the Heaven Ascension Hall.
However, this matter could not become his next “main business”.
With Lingle’s help, he had to spend more time comprehending the Art of Equalization and reduce the number of times he went out. This time, Li Changshou was completely certain that the Heavenly Dao did not give him any merit because it did not allow him to condense the Golden Body of Merit.
There were only two possibilities left.
Firstly, the Golden Body of Merit could affect his tribulation. The Heavenly Dao wanted to erase him.
Secondly, his merit must have other uses. If he were to save up, the merit that the Heavenly Dao owed him would be enough for him to obtain a Merit Golden Body. That would be the biggest joke in the Primordial World…
That was impossible. There would not be so many chances to gain merit in the future.
No matter how unlikely the first scenario was, Li Changshou had to be wary.
He still had to plan everything well and not give the Heavenly Dao a chance to take advantage of him. His main body stopped in the Little Qiong Peak to see if he would move to the Tushita Palace or take the initiative to bring Ling’e to the Grand Pure One to fulfill his filial duty.
Loving the Saint who lives alone starts from you and me.
Actually, Li Changshou was more inclined to the second possibility. It was that his merit was still useful.
Moreover, Teacher Taiqing had also said that he just had to be at ease. Li Changshou could only choose to be more open-minded. If even the Grand Pure One could not be trusted, then he could only… eat, drink, and not take anything to heart.
As an immortal, the most important thing was to be happy… and stable.
He joked and laughed. Li Changshou was hung up for a while before Yun Xiao pleaded for him to let go. At that moment, Li Changshou could not guess Fairy Yun Xiao’s exact thoughts. He did not know if she really minded or if she was exploring a new mode of interaction…
Yes, it was a little similar to dating in her previous life.
The group gathered for three days before dispersing. Li Changshou sent Yun Xiao to the Three-Immortal Island. Along the way, they spoke softly and looked at each other. Their relationship was indeed closer than before.
The “beauty” that Yun Xiao revealed unintentionally was completely different from her usual aloofness. It also made Li Changshou feel rather curious. To be safe, Li Changshou took out the letters that he had written previously and consolidated his feelings.
As soon as the letters were placed in her hand, Li Changshou chuckled and used his escape technique to escape. More or less, he still felt a little ashamed… Li Changshou’s main body was not in a hurry to return to the Little Qiong Peak. The paper effigy had been checking the situation at home regularly. Lingle had also been carrying the “Floating Flame Flag” with her at the same time as the “Green Lotus Flag”. At that moment, she was naturally safe and sound. With the Taiji Painting and the Pagoda Master protecting him, Li Changshou rushed to the Netherworld again to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
The Seven Emotions Grass Ring had been returned to the Lady of Earth previously. A few days ago, after landing in the Reincarnation Pagoda, when Li Changshou entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation and bade farewell to the Lady of Earth, the Lady of Earth had asked Li Changshou for help, but Li Changshou had not given her an answer. At that moment, Li Changshou already had an answer. He wanted to report to the Six Paths of Reincarnation The Six Paths of Reincarnation were isolated from the outside world. If the paper effigy entered, he would lose contact. He could only enter with his main body.
That day, Goddess Houtu asked him, “Today, the Reincarnation Pagoda can be used. Little Grief and the others want to die and go for a walk. They can use this pagoda to reincarnate. Can you protect them for me?”
Originally, Li Changshou would not reject Goddess Houtu’s request, nor should he. However, Li Changshou clearly hesitated. That seemed to be a good thing, but in reality, there was a problem that he had to face.
Did Little Grief and the others reincarnate into one or seven people?
If there were seven reincarnated people, they would be seven individuals with absolute flaws in their personalities. If the power of the seven emotions were preserved, it would be difficult to find a place to settle them.
If the seven of them were to reincarnate into one person and share the same body, they would be balanced, but it would be quite torturous… Isn’t this dissociative identity disorder?
The Lady of Earth’s intention was for them to reincarnate into one person and not cause any trouble for the living beings in the world. She wanted them to go out and take a look, support each other, and improve their mental state. At that time, Li Changshou had given another plan. He wanted Little Grief and the others to reincarnate into seven people. However, the seven people could not be separated. They had to maintain the balance of the power of the seven emotions at all times.
Although there were many hidden dangers, it could reduce Little Grief and the others’ suffering. Li Changshou vaguely guessed that the reason why the Lady of Earth wanted the incarnation of the Seven Emotions to turn around was because she had a deeper consideration.
The mystical abilities that Little Grief and Little Fury had revealed previously were really powerful to the point of being unbalanced. They almost toyed with the many Asura Clan experts.
At that moment, Li Changshou pondered for a long time and came to a conclusion…
They all listened to the Lady of Earth. The Seven Emotions incarnations were born from the Lady of Earth. He only had a good relationship with Little Grief and did not have the right to interfere with this matter.
From many perspectives, the seven incarnations reincarnated into the same living being. They had the lowest hidden dangers and the least trouble. Perhaps they could even nurture a trump card expert.
It was the word ‘danger’ written on Perfected Taiyi’s head.
A series of questions followed. How should I arrange for the reincarnation of the Lady of Earth’s Seven Emotions? Little Grief and the others are equivalent to the sisters of the Lady of Earth. They are considered mental demons that had been tamed by the Lady of Earth. Who could be their parents?
Find two mortals who are completely unaware of this matter?
Just like how Jiu Yushi had pretended to pass by and brought her Seven Emotions incarnations to the Heavenly Courts? Or, he could find Goddess Nuwa and create a perfect Dao Body…
Speaking of which, Goddess Nuwa had not been urging him to go to the Virgin Mary Palace recently. The five hundred pages of comics had yet to be settled.
What? Five hundred? How is that possible!?!
Goddess Nuwa was a righteous person. She knew that the Water God of the Heavenly Courts was busy dealing with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Even if he had the divine power of Time Freeze, he could not be distracted for that long. Uh, could it be that the Goddess is waiting for the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth to pass and imprison him with her mystical abilities 500 times… While he was hiding in stealth, Li Changshou could not help but pat his forehead when he thought about that. He decided to take the initiative to go to Goddess Nuwa’s Palace later and pay the bill. At the same time, he would arrange for the Lady of Earth’s incarnation
If the incarnation of the seven emotions reincarnated into the world…
The Water God Residence was probably going to be completely lively.
When he was about to enter the Netherworld, his spiritual perception suddenly jumped a few times, causing Li Changshou to immediately abandon all distracting thoughts. The Taiji Painting sent that message. “Eldest Disciple is here. He seems to be looking for you. He’s releasing his immortal senses to investigate your whereabouts.” Li Changshou was shocked. Great Daoist Master! Is everything fine in Xuandu City? Just as he was thinking of hiding his main body, the Great Daoist Master returned to the Primordial World. It was exactly what he needed.
According to the guidance of the Taiji Painting, Li Changshou walked around the edge of the Netherworld. After searching for a long time, he found a ball of fog and took the initiative to release his aura…
“Huh?”
A familiar voice sounded. The fog dissipated slightly, revealing a human face. His face was neither handsome nor strange, but it had its own charm and was very good-looking. Who else could it be but the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du? Li Changshou hurriedly revealed his main body… the paper effigy that had already hidden in his sleeve. At that moment, the Great Daoist Master looked around and waved at Li Changshou’s paper effigy, gesturing for him to enter the fog. Why do I feel like I’m a thief? With the three treasures and the fact that the Taiji Painting had taken the initiative to identify him as the Great Daoist Master, Li Changshou naturally believed that there were fewer doubts. He only symbolically maintained the most basic attitude of suspicion.
Li Changshou focused all his attention on entering the fog. He immediately felt that his connection with the world had weakened by more than half. The Great Daoist Master heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “Changshou, how did you discover me? I came back secretly this time. Don’t mention it to Teacher.”
Li Changshou asked, “When did Senior Brother come back?”
“Yesterday.”
The Great Daoist Master smiled calmly. “I thought that something major had happened in the Netherworld recently. I thought that I would most likely bump into you if I squatted here. I didn’t expect you to be so brilliant at hiding and hiding… Eh? That’s not right.” The smile on the Great Daoist Master’s lips gradually disappeared. He frowned and asked, “Is the Taiji Painting here?” Li Changshou looked innocent and harmless. He spread his hands, and the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and the Cosmic Ruler slowly appeared. The Taiji Painting’s cold snort sounded in the hearts of the two brothers.
The Great Daoist Master smiled calmly, but his aura did not decrease.
“Everything you see is an illusion. I came here using the Great Dream technique. This body is just an illusion. Excuse me. Farewell.” After saying that, he turned around and wanted to escape. However, he was entangled by two wisps of Yin-Yang aura that flew out of the Taiji Painting and pulled back.
The Taiji Painting cursed, “Do you really think you can hide it from the old master? Just say it!” The Pagoda Master and the Cosmic Ruler watched the commotion happily. The Great Daoist Master smiled bitterly.
After a while, Li Changshou and Great Daoist Master Xuan Du sat upright. The Taiji Painting slowly circled above their heads.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said, “I saw that you’ve become much more stable recently and can take charge of things alone. I’m very relieved. This time, I’m actually just passing by… ahem! Actually, I have something to remind you.” Li Changshou felt a little helpless! I feel that I have the strongest combat power below the Saint. In the name of presiding over the Xuandu City, I can roam the Trichiliocosm and have fun…
The few of them had almost fought with the Saint!
Li Changshou rubbed his forehead and sighed. “Senior Brother, if you have anything to say, just say the word. If not for you, I would not have lived such a long life today. Senior Brother, you are not just like me.”
“Don’t be so emotional. I’ve benefited a lot from you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so relaxed now.”
The Great Daoist Master waved his hand and was clearly hesitant. He looked at the Taiji Painting above his head and spread a layer of immortal power barrier around him. Then, he said, “Patriarch Nether River might not necessarily be dead.” Li Changshou blinked. He felt that his senior brother was finding something to say.
“Senior Brother, weren’t you the one who killed Patriarch Nether River back then?”
“Ah.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and said, “I only used the treasure of Ren School to barely suppress Patriarch Nether River. It’s not worth mentioning. I have always known that the Asura Clan has the intention to recall Patriarch Nether River again. You have been walking around the Netherworld frequently recently and have been approaching the Blood Sea. I still want to remind you in time.” Li Changshou could not help but laugh bitterly. He broke out in cold sweat after hearing the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s words.
“Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will definitely be careful.”
The Great Daoist Master smiled in satisfaction and said, “By the way, I heard from the news that you should have received merit previously. In the end, you were struck by lightning?” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
It had only been a few days, and he had already spread the news to the Outer World!?!
The Great Daoist Master saw that Li Changshou was a little stunned and smiled.
“Recently, everything in the Xuandu City has been stable. I left the Xuandu City two days ago and happened to hear this rumor.”
He was indeed traveling! “That’s true. It’s already the second time.” Li Changshou hurriedly asked, “Senior Brother, do you know the reason?” There was a hint of recollection in the Great Daoist Master’s eyes. He asked, “Do you want to condense the Golden Body of Merit?” Li Changshou said, “Yes, is there anything wrong with that?”
“If there’s no need, it’s best not to condense.”
The Great Daoist Master said earnestly, “The person who is suppressing your merit is most likely our Grandmaster, not the Heavenly Dao. Although the Merit Golden Body is good, just like the Exalted Immortal Token, Changshou, think about it carefully. Do you really need such a golden body to protect your life? The Merit Golden Body has a huge disadvantage. It is also precious because it is closely related to the Heavenly Dao. Your Dao will be unknowingly affected by the Heavenly Dao.” Li Changshou frowned and pondered. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He naturally believed the Great Daoist Master’s words, but the Golden Body of Merit that had worked so hard for so long… “Senior Brother, what’s the use of my merit?” “You can condense the Golden Body of Merit when your cultivation stagnates. It’s not bad to use it to refine Dharma treasures. If your merit is enough to condense the Golden Body of Merit, it will naturally be enough to refine supreme-grade Merit Numinous treasures. Let’s see how you choose.” Li Changshou could not help but think. The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Alright, seeing that you’re safe and sound, I feel at ease. I’ll return to Xuandu City to guard it. Ah, speaking of the Xuandu City, everything is good. I just lack a mirror…”
Li Changshou teased, “Eldest Senior Brother has no place to admire your handsome face. It’s indeed not beautiful.” “Huh?” The Great Daoist Master blinked.
Li Changshou was a little puzzled. He blinked at the Great Daoist Master.
The Taiji Painting rotated gently. The Great Daoist Master stood up and placed his hands behind his back. He gave Li Changshou a look that said, “Hurry up and understand.” He was missing a mirror… and a mirror… Live-streaming copper mirror? Did the Great Daoist Master come back this time to ask me for a livestream copper mirror to pass time? Li Changshou could not help but smile. He had not thought about that at all. After all, the copper mirror system was not perfect. Just sending a signal from the Netherworld to the Heavenly Courts would consume a lot of immortal power. It was impossible to go from the Heavenly Courts to the distant Xuandu City. Li Changshou took out two bronze mirrors and smiled. “Senior Brother, this kind of bronze mirror has been popular in the Heavenly Courts recently. Unfortunately, its main function can only be used near the Heavenly Courts. However, it’s not bad to be an ordinary bronze mirror and help Senior Brother adjust his attire.”
The Great Daoist Master looked enlightened, but he could not help but look disappointed. He took the bronze mirror and played with it. Li Changshou had a thought and said, “Senior Brother, I happen to have something important to discuss with the Lady of Earth. Senior Brother, why don’t we go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation?” “In that case.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du maintained the demeanor of an expert and nodded slowly. “I will reluctantly agree. However, we can’t delay it for too long. Teacher ordered me to guard the Xuandu City. I have to go back earlier.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and stood up to make an inviting gesture. The Taiji Painting snorted softly. This time, he landed in the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du’s palm and sent his spiritual will to the two of them.
“Don’t play for too long. When Master scolds you, I will definitely not say anything good about you.” The Great Daoist Master winked at Li Changshou, but Li Changshou turned his head and sighed helplessly. This Senior Brother is really bored and came back to play!
It would have been better if he had come half a month earlier. It would have been much easier to attack the Western Sect. Perhaps the Dao Sect would not even need the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning to appear…
“Changshou, what’s the matter with Goddess Houtu?”
“Goddess Houtu wants the incarnations of the seven emotions to reincarnate and train. She wants to see the prosperous world and use their nature.” “Oh? There’s such a thing? Then I’ll stay for a few more days to prevent you from being rash and making mistakes.” “Thank you for your help, Senior Brother.”
“It’s a small matter, a small matter. Hahaha, that’s a good reason!”
At the same time, in the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak… “Yes, yes, yes ~”
Ling’e hummed a light tune and sat in the study room in the secret chamber of the mountain. She kept sorting out jade talismans and was clearly in a good mood.
A slight fluctuation suddenly appeared in the universe. The array formation on the Little Qiong Peak did not move, and the Immortal Du Sect did not notice anything. However, a square vermillion box suddenly appeared in front of Ling’e! Ling’e was stunned for a moment before she immediately jumped up. Her delicate body hit the wall and she held more than ten poisonous Dharma artifacts in her hand.
A chuckle sounded beside Ling’e’s ear. “Are you Changgeng’s junior sister? Don’t be afraid. I promised to give your senior brother something. I can’t be bothered to look for him. I left it here.” “Senior?”
Ling’e quickly calmed down and bowed to the front. She naturally understood that she had neglected the important array formation that her senior brother had set up and placed an item in front of her without any warning… If such a person wanted to harm her, she would not have the ability to retaliate!
Ling’e hurriedly said, “Senior, can you leave your name so that I can account for you?”
“I’m the Grandmaster of Heaven, your Sister Yun Xiao’s master.”
Ling’e’s essence soul froze.
Then, he heard the clear voice say, “Your temperament is not bad. You’re a good young lady. Think about whether you want to come to my Green Touring Palace to cultivate. If you want, ask your senior brother to send you here. Let’s go.” The voice gradually drifted away. When the voice said ‘I’m leaving’, it had completely disappeared. Ling’e stood there in a daze.
Was that a Saint just now?
Yes… to be honest, her senior brother’s voice sounded better.
Ling’e blinked and looked at the wooden box on the pile of jade talismans. She could not regain her senses for a long time.
