Chapter 533 The Call of the Grand Pure One
What happened to Yang Jian?
Li Changshou waited for six days in the Major Chiliocosm. The paper effigy stared at the Jade Spring Mountain every day, but there was no movement from the Jade Spring Mountain Array. In order to arrange the trial for Yang Jian, almost half of the upper echelons of the Heaven Ascension Hall were deployed. Li Changshou’s main body led the Pagoda Master and Brother Chi to protect him and could obtain the protection of the Taiji Painting at any time.
From the stage supervisor to the nurse, from the group acting to the villain, and even the demons that were being beaten by Yang Jian were all in position. Yang Jian, the main character, was pulled in…
What?
Perfected Yu Ding was not an unstable person. Both parties had already agreed on a detailed plan.
Now, Perfected Yu Ding had yet to leave the Jade Spring Mountain. He must have encountered some trouble.
After waiting and thinking about it, Li Changshou was worried. He sent a “main body” paper effigy to Jade Spring Mountain. A professional Body-rank paper effigy had to be equipped with the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal realm. It made people feel that it was filled with vitality, had enough disguising methods, and a spare paper effigy that could appear at any time in his sleeve.
Li Changshou originally did not want the paper effigy to appear in front of Yang Jian. After all, the paper effigy’s incarnation was already his trademark in the Primordial World.
If Yang Jian were to come to his senses and see through this matter in the future, it would seem…
It was extremely awkward.
For that, Li Changshou spent more effort. He had not only transferred a ‘main body’ paper effigy over, but he had also transformed the paper effigy into Master Zhao, who had cut off his beard. He had also sent a communication jade token to Zhao Gongming to inform him about this matter so that he would not be exposed in the future.
When he arrived at the Jade Spring Mountain, Perfected Yu Ding could naturally see through Li Changshou’s paper effigy. The outer array formation opened automatically and secretly let Li Changshou in.
As soon as Li Changshou entered the Jade Spring Mountain, he saw Perfected Yu Ding, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud with a helpless expression, and the Grand Yin-Yang Master, who was yawning beside him…
What’s wrong? Aren’t they all fine?
He then used his immortal senses to scan the various parts of the Jade Spring Mountain. Li Changshou, an ordinary minor authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts, gradually felt speechless. “Brother, why can’t you bring me along? I’m so afraid.”
“Little Chan, I’m going to train and cultivate to improve my comprehension and understanding of the Dao. Your cultivation level is insufficient, and my cultivation level is not too high. If I bring you there, there will be many dangers.” “Ah… Brother, don’t leave me in the cave…” “Don’t cry, don’t cry! I’ll think of another way.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Perfected Taiyi sent a voice transmission to tease him. “Yo, your enemy can’t help but come over to take a look?”
Perfected Yu Ding looked ashamed. He took the initiative to help Li Changshou’s paper effigy conceal his aura.
“You delayed for so long because of that?” Li Changshou smiled bitterly and asked. Perfected Yu Ding nodded obediently. Perfected Taiyi sighed and said, “I said to bring Little Chan along. Junior Brother Yu Ding said that he would disturb Yang Jian’s cultivation. Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian is usually a decisive person, but he is completely helpless against his little sister.” Li Changshou said, “Then, can’t we use a spell to let her sleep for a few months?”
Yu Ding and Taiyi were stunned. They smiled awkwardly.
Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed his glabella. He thought of a foolproof solution and asked, “Ling Zhuzi and Yang Jian have crossed paths over the years, right?” “The two of them are quite familiar,” Perfected Taiyi complained. “They usually spar with each other, especially in the past twenty years. Ling Zhuzi will come to Jade Spring Mountain when he’s not in the Heavenly Courts. I won’t even return to my Cave Abode.” Li Changshou agreed and immediately made arrangements. Hence, four hours later, Ling Zhuzi rushed over on a cloud.
After listening to Li Changshou’s instructions along the way and receiving permission from his master and Aunt-Master, Ling Zhuzi first sent a voice transmission to Yang Jian. Then, he launched a sneak attack from behind and easily immobilized Yang Chan, causing her essence soul to be dazed and her to fall asleep. Yang Jian heaved a long sigh of relief. His eyes were filled with gratitude. He cupped his hands and thanked Ling Zhuzi. “Thank you for your help, Senior Brother!”
“It’s my duty.” Ling Zhuzi cupped his hands and used his immortal power to send Yang Chan to the bed in the inner cave. He turned around and said, “Junior Brother, don’t worry about going out to train. I will definitely take good care of Little Chan.”
Yang Jian looked at the sleeping Yang Chan and reminded Ling Zhuzi, “Little Chan suffered a blow when she was young. After she cultivated, she could not get rid of her mental demons. Master only sealed her mental demons temporarily. Senior Brother, remember this. If she wakes up and panic because she can’t find me, you will…” “There’s no need to trouble yourself.” Ling Zhuzi interrupted Yang Jian and smiled. “I will continue to cast a sleeping spell on her and make her wait for you to return in her sleep. Junior Brother Yang Jian, don’t worry. Your sister is my sister. I will not be rude to Little Chan.”
“I trust you, Senior Brother.” Yang Jian heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to Ling Zhuzi again. He grabbed the sword in the corner and lowered his head to step into the light outside the cave…
He felt much more relaxed. Perfected Yu Ding appeared in the sky and took Yang Jian to the cloud.
Li Changshou had already returned the paper effigy to Perfected Taiyi’s sleeve. To be safe, he did not take the initiative to meet Yang Jian. “Master, Uncle-Master.” Yang Jian looked ashamed. He hugged his sword and bowed. “I’ve made you
wait.”
Perfected Yu Ding smiled warmly and said.
Perfected Taiyi, who was at the side, pursed his lips slightly. He wanted to complain, but he forcefully suppressed it. The younger generation should not be blamed for their misfortunes. That was the principle of his Taiyi formation. Except for the extremely annoying juniors. Not long after, Perfected Yu Ding rode a cloud and left the Jade Spring Mountain with Yang Jian and Perfected Taiyi. He controlled the white cloud with all his might and flew towards the East Ocean.
On the Jade Spring Mountain, only Ling Zhuzi and the sleeping Yang Chan were left. Ling Zhuzi walked to the entrance of the cave and thought about Changgeng’s instructions and his master’s explanation about Yang Jian’s background more than ten years ago.
He also recalled that Yang Jian, his junior brother, had unintentionally revealed his hatred for the Heavenly Courts… “Ah!”
“When Junior Brother Yang Jian finds out the truth in the future, he will definitely blame Uncle-Master Changgeng.” “Uncle-Master Changgeng’s plan is too thorough. In the end, it will attract Junior Brother Yang Jian’s hostility.”
Ling Zhuzi folded his arms and pondered seriously for a while. “Could it be that Uncle-Master doesn’t mind Junior Brother’s hostility?”. Ling Zhuzi muttered to himself. He looked at the sky outside the cave and scratched his head.
“Forget it, I can’t understand these twists and turns.”
While Yang Chan was unconscious, he would… practice a set of fist techniques.
Recently, the little rabbit had been looking for him to appraise her dance moves. Every time, she would dress gorgeously. He did not know if it was because he had eaten too many rainbow radishes, but after a while, his cultivation progress had been delayed.
Tsk, the wonderful troubles of the spiritual pearl.
On the way to the Major Chiliocosm, Li Changshou could clearly sense Perfected Yu Ding’s concern for Yang Jian. Along the way, he kept reminding people of the dangers of cultivation. Yang Jian sat cross-legged beside Perfected Yu Ding and listened carefully the entire time. He did not show any signs of impatience for the past few days.
Thinking about it carefully, this Jade Spring Mountain is quite interesting.
In order not to disturb his disciple’s cultivation, Perfected Yu Ding had been hiding most of the time.
Yang Jian, who was extremely grateful to his master and helpless against his sister,
Yang Chan, who was sticking to her brother and was afraid that her brother would leave her…
Fortunately, although Yang Jian doted on his sister, he did not have to tie her to his side. Otherwise, he would not have given Yang Chan to Ling Zhuzi so readily.
He secretly used the Qi Observation technique to look at Yang Jian’s luck and realized that it was still shockingly red and purple.
The identity of the Son of Tribulation could not be hidden from those who could see the future.
The decision to arrange for Yang Jian to go out and train at that node was actually the result of Li Changshou and Perfected Yu Ding’s discussion.
At that moment, they were approaching the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss the God-Conferment matter. The Western Sect would not dare to cause trouble. The various large factions were also as quiet as chickens. The external environment was actually the most stable. Although Yang Jian would experience different degrees of tempering in the future, the first time Yang Jian left the mountain after he grew up would definitely have a far-reaching impact on his personality and perception of things. After spending a few more days on the way, they finally arrived at the Major Chiliocosm. Perfected Yu Ding stood up. “Yang Jian.” “I’m here!”
Yang Jian immediately stood up and answered. The light in his eyes flickered and disappeared. His patience was not bad. Perfected Yu Ding said warmly, “There’s an opportunity for you here. It seems calm, but there are hidden dangers. I chose this place for you for your first experience. Your Uncle-Master Taiyi and I will visit a friend and come to pick you up in a hundred days. Remember, the people of the Primordial World are dangerous. It’s also the time of the Great Tribulation. You are not strong enough now. Don’t force yourself.” “Yes.”
Yang Jian answered seriously and bowed with a Dao salute. Then, he turned around and rode a cloud. Under the gazes of Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi, he landed in the Major Chiliocosm. Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Let’s go. Don’t keep you waiting.”
Perfected Yu Ding agreed and rode a cloud towards the southwest.
Those words were naturally directed at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian, who was riding a cloud forward, smiled bitterly. He did not turn his head to look. Instead, he chose a temporary place to stay and landed in a mortal town.
Not long after Yang Jian landed, three figures appeared in the sky. They activated a Cloud Mirror technique and observed Yang Jian’s every move. Perfected Taiyi asked with interest, “What did Junior Brother Changgeng arrange after that? When can the people you arranged meet Disciple-Nephew Yang Jian?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother, don’t be anxious. Let Yang Jian familiarize himself with the mortal world first. If it was intentional or arranged for someone to take the initiative to interact with him, it would be disadvantageous. With Yang Jian’s intelligence, he could tell that it was an act for him to see. At that moment, Yang Jian must know that we are in the dark. He just did not show it.” The Grand Unity was puzzled. “Then how do you plan to lure him into the trap?”
Li Changshou explained leisurely, “More than ten years ago, rumors about the ancient demons began to spread in the Chiliocosm.
For that, a group of Qi Refinement cultivators wanted to search for treasures. However, those Qi Refinement cultivators found nothing. Of course, that was because I had yet to release the blood essence of the demon and the witch. There were many people who knew about this rumor. Yang Jian only needed to investigate a little to find out. Apart from that, I’m still in this Major Chiliocosm. He has arranged sixteen small missions where he is most likely to visit. There are some clues hidden in each small mission that point to the final trial. In short, as long as he maintains the most basic curiosity about that opportunity, he will be lured over bit by bit.” “Changgeng, thank you.” Perfected Yu Ding nodded slowly and gave a neutral evaluation.
Perfected Taiyi also gave him a thumbs-up. “Well done!”
Li Changshou pursed his lips slightly. “Why do I feel offended when Senior Brother Taiyi said that?” “Haha, hahaha! Don’t think too much. I sincerely said that you did well. Anyone can make arrangements.”
Perfected Taiyi laughed. Li Changshou carefully tasted it…
He felt that this fellow was implying something.
After Yang Jian entered this world, he was quite vigilant. Yang Jian first used his immortal senses to secretly observe the town for half a day in the forest before putting away his sword, converging his aura, and changing his appearance. He rushed to the city to rest.
Although the Jade Emperor’s nephew was calm, it was his first time going down the mountain. He could not help but look around. The colorful world was charming. It was a form of training
Yang Jian only walked around and did not really integrate into it. Seeing that Yang Jian had walked for half a day and did not attract much attention, Li Changshou praised, “It’s not bad. It can be used.”
Perfected Yu Ding smiled faintly, but Perfected Taiyi shook his head disapprovingly. He still felt that his disciple was more likable.
It was pure.
Yang Jian stayed in the town for a few days and gradually understood the situation of the mortals and the “current situation” of the Qi Refinement cultivators.
Next, he did not deliberately look for Qi Refinement cultivators to spar and communicate as Li Changshou had expected. Instead, he deliberately avoided the Qi Refinement cultivators and pretended to be a mortal to search for the “opportunity” that his master had mentioned.
Half a month later, Yang Jian decided to head to a larger immortal city to investigate the dangerous places in the Major Chiliocosm.
That was where the upper echelons of the Heaven Ascension Hall stayed.
When Yang Jian approached the immortal city, the atmosphere in the small courtyard where Li Changshou’s main body was was gradually tense… He heard Bai Ze asking questions. Jiang Lin’er, Jiu Jiu, and the others held the communication jade talismans and kept answering.
“How are the preparations for the Qianxuan Division?”
“Alright.”
“Are you sure there are no other disturbances in the venue?”
“The venue is fine. Few people go there…” Soon, Bai Ze nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and looked at Li Changshou. With a solemn expression, he cupped his fists and bowed. “Water God, please give the order! Everything is ready!” Li Changshou stood up and locked onto Yang Jian’s figure with his immortal senses. He deduced if there were any loopholes in the script that he had arranged, and his eyes gradually turned solemn. That was just a small step to train Yang Jian and groom him to become a successor. It was a huge step for the entire ‘production team’ of the Heaven Ascension Hall!
If he could successfully make arrangements for Yang Jian today, he would be able to do so for Nezha tomorrow, and the monkey the day after tomorrow! Ahem, forget it. It’s too far away. The main purpose of this operation was to nurture a trusted subordinate while he was at ease and be a handler!
Li Changshou took a deep breath and said slowly, “Attack.”
“Begin!” Bai Ze turned around and shouted. A few communication jade talismans shattered instantly!
After a while, Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured that scene.
In a forest dozens of kilometers away from Yang Jian, a young man covered in blood staggered out. There were layers of ripples in the universe behind him. They were the ripples of the Intermediate Illusion Array’s array wall.
The young man took two steps and fell to the ground. His breathing was weak, and his eyes were filled with anxiety. He wanted to stand up with all his might. The injuries on his body were too severe, and his Dharma powers were almost empty.
More than fifteen kilometers away, Yang Jian, who was riding a cloud, frowned slightly. However, he did not poke his nose into other people’s business. He lowered his head and sped away. Although the young man was only in the Essence Immortal realm, he did not know if he was good or bad. He did not know what was hidden in the illusion array formation. It was a wise choice to ignore it and leave.
In the Primordial World, one could not be a good person.
Regarding that, Perfected Taiyi kept praising him. The smile on Perfected Yu Ding’s lips deepened.
However, Li Changshou’s plan was not just that.
Suddenly, he heard a baby crying… The severely injured Essence Immortal man took out a silver shuttle wrapped in layers of immortal light from his sleeve. It was protecting an infant. At that moment, the infant was crying.
It was a Dharma treasure that was similar to the Mustard Seed Cosmos. It was considered rare here.
The Essence Immortal man revealed grief and reluctance. He expressed his emotions well. He gritted his teeth and used his last immortal power to throw the shuttle into the distance.
“Young Master, I’m useless… Ah, I’m dead…” After saying that, his entire body twitched. He immediately fell to the ground and closed his eyes. The aura of living beings slowly dissipated. Li Changshou was rendered speechless. His expression was not bad, but what the hell was with his lines?
Later, I’ll let this fellow perform this 300 times in front of everyone! Let’s look at the trial ground. A gust of cold wind blew out of the forest. Three figures flew out of the illusion array. They were all at the Perfected Immortal realm. They were murderous and chased after the silver shuttle.
Although the silver shuttle was a Dharma treasure, it no longer had any immortal power. After flying for more than five kilometers, the three Perfected Immortals caught up to it. A woman grabbed the silver shuttle and sneered. No sooner said than done!
The moment the woman’s fingertips were about to touch the silver lock, a golden immortal rope suddenly appeared and wrapped around the shuttle, pulling it away. It was completed in one go without stopping The three Perfected Immortals who were chasing after him did not have time to react. They watched helplessly as the silver shuttle left their hands and did not even have time to release their attacks.
The woman frowned and shouted, “Who dares to interfere in the matters of the World Club!?!”
He heard a clear voice. “What did the baby do wrong?”
As he spoke, Yang Jian’s tall figure appeared on the hillside thousands of feet away. He raised his left hand and pulled. The immortal rope flew back to Yang Jian’s wrist and tied his sleeve tightly. The silver shuttle landed in his hand.
Following that, Yang Jian revealed 70% of his strength. His Daoist robe expanded, and a wisp of blood energy soared into the sky like a desert smoke. The sword in his right hand was already half an inch out of its sheath.
His battle intent was overflowing, and his power was extraordinary! The expressions of the three Perfected Immortals changed. Their eyes were filled with fear. They each retreated a thousand feet and maintained a safe distance.
Li Changshou nodded in satisfaction.
‘Those three guys are not bad. They are worth nurturing.’
Yang Jian’s response was considered appropriate. Not only did he deter the enemy, but he also kept his trump card. He did not know the situation and did not take the initiative to attack.
Bai Ze praised, “The Jade Emperor’s nephew is quite elegant.” Li Changshou said, “This test tests Yang Jian’s benevolence and righteousness, as well as Yang Jian’s ability to avoid karma. If he can’t take care of both, how should he balance the two? Mr. Bai…”
Huh?
A familiar Dao rune suddenly appeared in the spirit platform. The Grand Pure Dao seemed to be gently stirred and condensed into a huge word in the Dao heart!
“Come.”
Li Changshou was shocked. He immediately stood up and took out a drop of essence blood from the witch, from his sleeve and stuffed it into Bai Ze’s hand.
“Mr. Bai, you will be in charge later. Everything will go according to plan. We have to be careful. We don’t want any casualties. It was best not to be seen through by Yang Jian. Even if he was seen through, he could not expose the Heavenly Courts. If there’s anything urgent, take out the paper effigies that I had previously stored. I can immediately sense them.”
Bai Ze was confused and hurriedly asked what happened.
Li Changshou was also puzzled. He only knew that the Grand Pure One had something to call him for. He had to rush over immediately.
At that moment, Li Changshou cupped his hands at the others in the pavilion. He held the Cosmic Escape with his left hand, and blue light flashed under his feet. His figure disappeared with a whoosh. Before leaving, Li Changshou looked at Yang Jian’s situation. Seeing that Yang Jian’s performance was remarkable, he felt much more at ease. He then used the paper effigy to remind Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi. Li Changshou focused and activated the Cosmic Escape technique to rush back to the five continents!
Why is Teacher calling at this moment?
There are still three years before the meeting of the Purple Cloud Palace. Could it be that Teacher felt that he had not made enough preparations and called him over to give him some pointers?
If that’s the case, can’t he just send a message?
With many doubts, Li Changshou rushed back to the five continents. Along the way, he was not stingy with his immortal power and used the Cosmic Ruler to cast the Cosmic Escape technique. It could no longer be described as fast as lightning.
Every time his immortal power was depleted by more than half, Li Changshou would swallow a sixth-grade Spirit Pill to ensure that he was in peak condition at any time.
In less than half a day, Li Changshou arrived at the edge of the East Ocean. He used the Wind Escape technique and went straight out of the Nine Heavens Cloud…
When he arrived at the Grand Pure One Temple, Li Changshou was really exhausted. His forehead was covered in sweat.
He carefully pushed open the wooden door that was ajar and walked in with his head lowered. After bowing to the teacher, he looked up at the old man sitting in the small temple.
Teacher has summoned me three years in advance. It must be… Suddenly, he heard the Grand Pure One send a voice transmission to Li Changshou. He said slowly, “I’m about to rush to the Purple Cloud Palace.”
Gone?
Li Changshou was stunned at first. Then, he understood something.
Three years… is about to… There is nothing wrong with that.
