My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 331 - It’s You, Li!



Chapter 331 It’s You, Li!

Why is the Jade Emperor so fast this time?

This is not like the Heavenly Courts. This is not like the Heavenly Courts at all.

Normally, it would take dozens of years to form a decree. The process of the Deity Position promotion would last for more than ten to twenty years. Ordinary Heavenly Generals would have to work for two to three days just to get out of the Heaven Gate!

Even if eliminating the remnants of the previous dynasty is the priority, there should be a process for Hua Ritian to mobilize his troops, right?

The Sun is orbiting in outer space. Moreover, the sun is setting in the west now. It would take some time to bring troops from the Heavenly Courts over, right?

Not to mention, the Jade Emperor’s incarnation still has to hide his whereabouts, wait for an opportunity to attack, and prepare some backup plans that would definitely kill Lu Ya… Why did it seem like the Jade Emperor was about to attack?

Fortunately, judging from the Jade Emperor’s reaction, he had stopped the Jade Emperor at the crucial moment…

In the Lingxiao Hall, Li Changshou waited quietly. His face was full of confusion.

Hardcore confusion.

The Jade Emperor closed his eyes and focused. His attention landed on the sun in the sky. He led the troops and left the extremely magnificent Sun.

The Sun was formed by Pangu’s left eyeball and the Yang Spring of Heaven and Earth.

Before the Heavenly Dao was completed, the Sun had once been driven by the Goddess of Imperial Sun, Xi He. Every day, it would go from east to west, back and forth.

In the ancient times, the Golden Crow Clan, which was born on the Sun, entered its peak. After Xi He became a demon, the Demon Emperor Jun built the Golden Crow Palace and lived in the residence of Xi He and the Tenth Prince.

Since then, the operation of the Sun had been taken over by the Heavenly Dao.

At the end of the Great Magi-Demon War during the end of ancient times, the human army struck the Demon Court and the Demon Emperor died.

Another million human immortals attacked the Golden Crow Palace. Xi He committed suicide, and most of the Golden Crow Palace was destroyed.

Now, he stood outside the Sun and looked inside. Behind the natural Li Fire array, he could see ruins. Countless precious materials had turned into resplendent and solid waste under the roasting of the Sun Real Fire.

Originally, the group of soldiers that Hua Ritian had brought had already passed through the outer Li Fire Array on the Sun Planet.

Li Changshou reported in time that the Jade Emperor had changed his mind. Hua Ritian sent a voice transmission everywhere, saying that there might be an ambush here and that they would retreat temporarily.

The Heavenly Generals that he had brought immediately perked up. They did not panic and retreated in an orderly manner.

At the same time… in the deepest part of the ruins, in a hall that had mostly collapsed, there was an old Daoist priest sitting in the corner of the ruins, surrounded by layers of barriers.

His face was a little pale, and his aura was trembling. His Daoist robe was covered in blood. From the direction of the blood flow and shape of the bloodstains, it seemed to have been… spat out.

The hall was very cool as if there was an array formation that isolated the heat waves from the Sun.

The blood that spurted out in front of the old Daoist priest formed a stream that surrounded him.

If others saw this, they would definitely think that he was up to something…

The old Daoist priest did not notice that the Heavenly Generals were already in a terrible state.

Why? Why is this happening?

The old Daoist priest opened his listless eyes. His aura started to tremble again. He had no choice but to close his eyes again to calm down.

The first injury came from his precious treasure, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber.

When he was refining the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber, the spirit of the flying saber suddenly awakened and almost killed him.

That made the old Daoist priest have no choice but to temporarily seal the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber and quickly recuperate…

However, following that… It was just a simple meditation, but it could attract mental demons.

However, after carefully comprehending his own Dao, he suffered the tremors of the Great Dao that he had not encountered in ten thousand years or even a hundred thousand years. His Dao was injured by the Great Dao…

He had wanted to find a pill to treat his injuries, but he had actually taken the wrong storage Dharma treasure. He had lost his mind and swallowed a poisonous pill…

*Coughs*

The old Daoist priest endured the urge to vomit blood and opened his eyes again. This time, he carefully took out a porcelain bottle from his chest pocket. He confirmed again and again that it was the porcelain bottle that contained the healing pills.

The old Daoist priest smiled. However, after opening the restrictions on the bottle, his smile stiffened.

He fell outwards and a pile of pills landed in his hand. The last bit of medicinal properties on it quietly dissipated…

The pill shattered?!

Although there was indeed such a saying that if the medicinal efficacy in the pill went out of control, the pill would indeed shatter but… but this!

The old Daoist priest’s lips trembled, and two drops of tears slowly rolled down his face…

What is going on?

In fact, when that happened, the old Daoist priest was immediately alarmed. The first thing he thought of was…

Could it be that I lost my luck?

However, the old Daoist priest carefully pinched his fingers and deduced that he realized that the luck that he should have had was still there. The remnant luck of the demons had also turned into revitalization and gathered on him.

Or do I owe merit?

The old Daoist priest took out his second Dharma treasure and looked at it carefully.

It was a curse book that was refined by an expert of the Demon Court back then. The overall idea was proposed by the Demon Master Kun Peng as a secret technique for the Demon Court to punish those demons who caused trouble.

The book was called the Seven Arrows Book. It announced to the outside world that one only needed to know the name and birth characters of a spirit to cause it to die.

In reality, it was just a disguise. It was very difficult to use the Seven Arrows technique.

Firstly, one had to have a wisp of essence soul and a wisp of aura from the cursed spirit. Both of them could not be missing. Then, he had to inject the essence soul and aura into the book. Then, he had to pay respects and shoot arrows every day.

The price of using the Seven Arrows Book was extremely huge. Most importantly, it would either damage merit or luck. If he was halfway through casting the spell, his merit or destiny would not be able to continue. The caster would suffer a backlash and turn into blood…

When the Demon Court was at its peak, it naturally did not lack merit. The Seven Arrows Book was also a hidden arrow that hung above the heads of the demons.

However, to the old Daoist priest, who was also Daoist Lu Ya, that book was…

It was just a memento.

The enemies that he could defeat in fights naturally did not need that treasure. If he could not win in technical fights and did not have that much merit and luck, it would be tantamount to mutual destruction if he cursed such an expert to death.

At first, when he confirmed that it was not the item that had caused the bad luck, Daoist Lu Ya was even more puzzled.

Even until today, his injuries had not improved. His Dao base was on the verge of collapse, and his situation was even more tragic…

Could it be that the heavens want me dead?

Daoist Lu Ya looked up at the sky and saw the tattered roof of the hall and the sky formed by the flames outside.

He smiled bitterly and stood up shakily. He picked up the huge gourd beside him and carried it on his back. With his back hunched, he stumbled towards the depths of the hall.

It was only a few hundred feet. He fell a few times and vomited blood a few times. His mental demons were stirring, and his strength seemed to have been drained.

The old Daoist priest went to a corner of the hall and barely tapped out a wisp of immortal power. He activated the array formation there and fell inside.

In the next moment, he disappeared before appearing again in the core of the Sun.

The array formation suddenly deviated. In an instant…

It burnt.

In the core of the star, a small hall was hidden in the colorful Sun Real Flames.

Daoist Lu Ya’s figure fell in front of the hall. Flames surrounded him and he turned into a three-legged Golden Crow. Then, he turned into a handsome young man in a brocade robe. He dragged the huge gourd and staggered into the hall.

The hall was empty except for a crystal coffin.

There was clearly a hot spring outside, but there was a wisp of coldness that was similar to the core of the moon.

That wisp of chilliness wrapped around the crystal coffin. A beautiful woman in white lay in the crystal coffin. She seemed to be asleep, and she was still emitting a faint pressure.

The young man in the brocade robe walked to the woman in three steps. He bent his legs and knelt down. He took a deep breath and said sadly, “Mother… please tell me what I did wrong again. The heavens want me to die…”

The woman was just a corpse. She did not have any spirit. Naturally, she did not have any reaction.

Lu Ya smiled bitterly. Realizing that his injuries were about to relapse, he stood up and slowly walked to the side of the crystal coffin. He leaned against his mother and sat down.

He gradually closed his eyes. His entire body was filled with tragic words as he hummed the song from back then…

“From the place where the sun rises, I swam all over the sky… and returned to the place where the sun sets, bathing in the sweet abyss…”

“Ah.”

Suddenly, he heard a sigh coming from the side. Daoist Lu Ya’s mind jolted. He muttered the word “Goddess” and a white figure flashed past. Lu Ya’s figure disappeared.

At the same time, in a valley at the border between the South Continent and the East Continent, the black leopard, who was leading his wife to “pray out of leisure” suddenly growled. It rolled its eyes and slowly collapsed. The words on the wooden sign with the name ‘Daoist Lu Ya’ disappeared.

“Husband! Husband, what’s wrong!?!”

The Water Demon Miao Miao shouted anxiously.

Her cultivation level was low, so she naturally could not see that a black ganoderma had appeared above the black leopard’s head. At that moment, the ganoderma was rapidly disintegrating, and wisps of mysterious Heavenly Dao power turned invisible.

In the blink of an eye, the ganoderma was only one-tenth of its original size…

Li Changshou, who was hiding hundreds of kilometers away, saw that scene.

The black leopard’s demonic soul only trembled and it fainted on its own. It was not injured.

What is with this ganoderma?

Is there a backlash?

In the Lingxiao Hall of the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou frowned slightly and kept thinking. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao felt that this fellow was too poisonous and forcefully weakened it?

Or is Lu Ya’s luck too strong that the black leopard cannot deal with him?

The scene of the black ganoderma shattering seemed to indicate that the black leopard’s toxicity had weakened…

Li Changshou pondered for a while and burned the paper effigy that had appeared in front of the black leopard. He then added another paper effigy to “monitor” it.

In any case, regardless of the situation, it had nothing to do with the Little Water God of the Heavenly Courts.

“Changgeng.”

On the throne of the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor opened his eyes and smiled. “I’ve already sent someone back. I saw that Changgeng’s memorial mentioned that the Netherworld can be under the control of the Heavenly Courts and the sequence of the Three Realms. How should this matter be carried out?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “The dragon race has the Dragon King, and the Netherworld has the King Yama. When the time is ripe, His Majesty can confer the title of a Great Virtuous Lady of The Earth. Although the Netherworld does not lack merit, the Netherworld has something to mind.”

“Oh?”

The Jade Emperor was instantly interested. “It seems that you have done your homework, Minister Changgeng. Actually, compared to dealing with the remaining demons of the Demon Court, the more important thing is to revitalize the Heavenly Courts!”

Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and deliberated over his words before speaking calmly.

He had to start from a small batch of seasonings, ahem, and also from the Magi of the North Continent!

The outcome of the final discussion was not out of Li Changshou’s expectations. He became the executive director of the next scene and received the appointment letter from the Jade Emperor.

Another huge merit was waving at him from the front. It seemed to be shouting, “Come, Immortal…”

Fortunately, the Jade Emperor did not give him a deadline. He even advised him to rest for a few years and not spend too much effort. Li Changshou accepted the order and expressed his gratitude.

Half a day later, Li Changshou slowly opened his eyes in the secret underground chamber of Little Qiong Peak, looking a little tired.

During that half a day, he drank with Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long while discussing with the Jade Emperor how to bring the Netherworld into the Heavenly Courts. He also had to divert his attention to observe the black leopard’s condition and deduce what had happened to it.

When his ‘Water God ‘paper effigy returned to the Water God Residence, Master Zhao and Perfected Huang Long were done chatting. They stood up and bade farewell. As for the black leopard, it happened to wake up…

Li Changshou suddenly became idle. He could only listen to the little story between the black leopard and the water demon.

“Husband, what’s wrong with you?”

“Milady, I seemed to have seen an embroidered ball in front of me just now. I lost consciousness when the ball swayed. I only heard the words ‘don’t pray again’ in my heart.”

“Don’t scare me. The words on the wooden sign are gone.” “Oh? Could it be that… my mystical ability is not only activated with my mouth?”

Li Changshou frowned.

Embroidered ball?

He listened for a while more. The conversation between the black leopard and the water demon gradually became less wholesome and became indescribable.

Li Changshou retracted his attention and pondered carefully.

Could it be that Daoist Lu Ya had been overly healed by the black leopard and almost died? Could it be that he was saved by the owner of the embroidered ball…

Then, the owner of the embroidered ball attacked and warned the black leopard. He even erased most of the black leopard’s “toxicity”? If the black leopard is a tool of the Heavenly Dao and specializes in serving the Great Tribulation in the future…

Wouldn’t the master of the embroidered ball owe the Heavenly Dao karma and be implicated in the Great Tribulation in the future?

Li Changshou sensed the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting on his body and heaved a sigh of relief.

He did not expect that his unique little design would end up attracting the Saint.

Why do I suddenly have the illusion that I was arranged by the Heavenly Dao again…

Li Changshou sat there and fell into deep thought.

Since it concerned a Saint, he had to be more stable. However, his thoughts lasted for two days and three nights.

He went to his straw hut and spread out the portraits in the room, carefully changing some details.

The Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the schemes of the six Saints…

He could not have any thoughts of playing the game. He could only tie himself to the Heavenly Courts and interfere with the Great God-Conferment Tribulation in a small manner. He could only change the tragedy of some Dao Sects.

The Copper Coin of Treasurefall was already in his hand. Daoist Lu Ya would face the Jade Emperor’s schemes later.

If he could kill Lu Ya in advance and keep an eye on Burning Lamp, the “Leading Traitor”, there would be many ways for him to become a god.

Without the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, how could he establish the twenty-four heavens?

Li Changshou sat in the straw hut and pondered carefully.

After reaching the Golden Immortal realm, he was no longer sensitive to the passage of time. He only thought systematically for five to six years.

In the past five to six years, Li Changshou had to divert his attention and move around outside.

He had to participate in many things to help the Heavenly Courts, the dragon race, and the Deity Position. The vacation that the Jade Emperor had promised him was a little far away.

The Little Qiong Peak’s vagrancy plan was also in full swing

Ling’e sorted out the “details” of the Little Qiong Peak. Li Changshou also selected a mountain range in the South Continent as the “Substitution Peak” and began to modify it in all aspects.

There were different priorities. Li Changshou was prepared to start studying the matters of the Netherworld after the Little Qiong Peak’s nomadic plan was completed. The sooner he moved next door to the Grand Supreme Elder, the sooner he could plan for other things.

“Senior Brother-“

Under the bright sunlight, Ling’e floated over from outside the straw hut with some tea.

Li Changshou stopped drawing and stretched his back. He covered the portrait in front of him so that Ling’e would not look at it and get involved in the karma.

He had not been in seclusion for the past few years. Ling’e could go to the straw hut as she pleased.

Previously, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu had also come over to take a look. When she saw that Li Changshou seemed to be “writing a book to be passed down”, she did not dare to disturb him.

Ling’e knelt on the side of the short table and handed over the tea leaves. She said softly, “Senior Brother, don’t be too worried.”

“Yes, I’m fine.” Li Changshou drank a mouthful of tea. “Humans will make mistakes sometimes. I will also make some wrong considerations at times. I can only try my best to consider everything and repeatedly check if there are any loopholes.”

Ling’e pursed her lips, but she did not know how to help her senior brother.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “There are already so many young men outside the sect who want to become disciples…” “Yes,” Ling’e answered and began to talk about the interesting things that she had heard in the sect.

She told him about the elders who discovered a good seedling and accepted a disciple in advance and the disciples who had been distant relatives with the immortal disciples in the sect for a thousand years.

Li Changshou listened with a smile. His immortal senses also carefully looked at the youths gathered outside the mountain gate to see if there were any extremely brilliant seedlings.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

Li Changshou stared at a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was dressed in a coarse cloth robe.

The young man’s face was bruised and swollen, and there were some wounds on his body. He seemed to have rolled on the steps in front of the mountain gate.

At that moment, he was holding onto a piece of dry food and munching on it. His gaze was firm and steady. It was so mature that it made one’s heart ache…

Who is this?

Since he made me feel a surge in my heart, could it be that he is the one who had faced the Tribulation during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

Li Changshou was instantly interested. A voice transmission entered the young man’s ears. “Who are you?”

The young man was stunned and looked around.

Li Changshou sent another voice transmission. “Don’t look. I’m in the mountains. I’ll use a Dharma spell to talk to you.”

The young man was shocked. He hurriedly stood up and knelt down at the mountain gate. “My… my name is Li Jing! I’m a human from the South Continent! My hometown has been repeatedly invaded by demons. I beg you to teach me some Dao techniques and immortal techniques so that I can protect the peace of my hometown!”

Li Jing?

Yes, it is not easy for this child. The cloth shoes on his feet are torn, and the cloth shoes in his bag have been worn to the bottom. He has a Qi Refinement realm cultivation level, so he should have come from the South Continent.

Unfortunately, his potential is not good. The sect probably will not… accept him…

Wait, what is this fellow’s name?

Li!

Li Changshou, who was drinking tea, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of water. Ling’e was caught off guard. She could only close her eyes tightly and endure the sudden attack of the Water God.
