My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 353 - Undecided



Chapter 353 Undecided

Just… that?

In the depths of the ground, Li Changshou’s paper effigy led the paper effigy army and stopped in a crack in the rock. They “watched” the battle in the sky from afar.

Li Changshou had just seen a battle between the Seven Treasures bonsai and the painting. Then, he saw a few Heaven Immortals pecking at each other in the sky. He was really not interested.

He even felt like laughing…

Alright, I’ve been worried for nothing.

Speaking of which, I was just fantasizing. What kind of existence was Kong Xuan? Why would he come out to eat people for no reason? Kong Xuan was the best in the God Conferment Realm. His intrinsic mystical ability, the Five-colored Divine Light, allowed him to surpass everything in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. This mystical ability was a hundred times more useful than the Copper Coin of Treasurefall. It could even be used to kill quasi-saints. However, during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Kong Xuan had fought with Saint Zhun Ti. As he had used the Five-colored Divine Light to bind Saint Zhun Ti, the latter had transformed into a Saint Dharma body from the Five-colored Divine Light and destroyed it. As a result, Kong Xuan had

lost…

However, from another perspective, although Zhun Ti was a Saint who had a low ranking, he was ultimately a Saint.

Although Kong Xuan was no match for him, he had forced the Dharma body of a Saint to appear. It was obvious how powerful Kong Xuan’s mystical abilities were.

He was completely at the level of the Eldest Senior Brother of the Three Schools! As a result, the first question that came to Li Changshou’s mind was — Why did this fellow participate in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation for no reason? According to Li Changshou’s understanding, Kong Xuan was the first peacock in the world. He had the Connate Five Elements Qi accompanying him and seemed to be in the line of succession of the Primordial Phoenix of the phoenix race… Those were some ‘rumors of the Primordial World’. Li Changshou could not confirm if they were true.

There were such records in the manuals of the Immortal Du Sect.

“During the Great Magi-Demon War, the human race struggled to survive. Suddenly, a divine peacock came from the south and opened its mouth to devour humans and demons for fun. Later on, because he had killed too much, he was punished by the Heavenly Punishment and was attacked by the Great Daoist Master. The divine bird was defeated and captured by the Great Daoist Master. It was sent to the south.”

That was referring to the time in ancient times when Kong Xuan appeared. It was also a rare record of the Great Daoist Master’s attacks.

He looked at the sky to see that a peacock demon was indeed fighting the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect. It was 100 feet long, had sharp claws, a sharp mouth, and long feathers that were golden-blue in color. Its cultivation level was only in the Heaven Immortal realm.

At that moment, it was being suppressed by several elders of the Immortal Du Sect, as well as Youqin Xuanya. Youqin Xuanya stood in the clouds, bending her slender hands into sword fingers. When she formed hand seals, she left behind afterimages. Sixteen flying swords that shone with an icy-blue light shuttled left and right, causing the peacock demon’s long feathers to fly everywhere and its body to be covered in wounds.

It was a real battle. A brick was thrown from thousands of kilometers away. The Saint’s numinous treasure and the Connate Cardinal treasure collided lightly. The world dimmed, as if the sky was about to collapse.

A fake intense battle: Most of the spectators’ gazes were attracted by the fairy standing in the clouds. She was dressed in an ice-blue dress, and her black hair was tied up simply. Her figure was not seductive, but it was intoxicating. She vividly embodied the word ‘immortal’.

Overall, the situation here was completely under control. Li Changshou looked at his paper effigy and the paper effigy army that he had temporarily transferred from the East Ocean. The corners of his mouth twitched.

Since I’m already here, I should watch for a while more.

He decided to be stable and wait for the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect to succeed in retreating. Then, his paper effigy, would retreat with them.

There were dozens of generals in armor on the ground. Most of them were in the Void Return realm or the Dao Requital realm. Five to six of them had combat strength that was comparable to… Turbid Immortals.

The generals of the mortal world set up an array formation below. They did not dare to rush forward to capture the demons. Although they did not do anything, they would be given credit later. The exact location was in the southwest corner of the East Continent. It was very close to the South Continent and was less than 6,000 kilometers away from the valley where the black leopard and his wife were.

The mortal world was continuously expanding. Li Changshou scanned the area within tens of thousands of kilometers around him, with his immortal senses. The plains and mountains he saw were filled with traces of mortals. Several powerful countries and dozens of small countries had developed, and they had been fighting each other for years.

The ‘Youqin Kingdom’ that Sect Leader Ji Wuyou mentioned was Youqin Xuanya’s hometown, the Honglin Kingdom of the East Continent.

The Honglin Kingdom’s geographical location was blessed by the heavens. It was located at the south end of the East Continent. Now, it had even expanded to the South Continent and developed its forces there.

Although there were not many mortals but many nations and tribes in the Three Realms, the Honglin Kingdom was considered a rare “powerful nation” that had expanded beyond the continent it was originally in. Its national fate was still considered strong. In the current mortal world, as long as one became the ruler of a country, they would be blessed by the destiny of the human race. However, it was precisely because of this destiny that they were unable to embark on the path of cultivation.

There was no other restriction.

There was a phenomenon that Li Changshou found quite interesting In a mortal country, almost half of the generals and marshals had cultivation levels. They were originally Qi Refinement cultivators.

Li Changshou’s Sea God Temple had already been spread across the South Ocean. He had once traveled in a boat in the South Continent and conducted a detailed investigation. There were three main reasons for the Qi Refinement cultivators from the South Continent to enter the mortal world.

Firstly, many immortals would come to the mortal world to enjoy life when they felt that there was no hope for them to break through or that their Dao hearts were lustful.

How did they enjoy life? The Qi Refinement cultivators naturally despised the brothels in the mortal world, which were meant for temporary relief. They would either become the “immortal ministers” of a country, or they would conceal their identities and become generals and marshals. They would work hard to have a large number of wives and concubines, and they would be extremely wealthy and prosperous… Staying in the mortal world that was full of temptations, was a form of training. However, very few immortals could return to their original path after becoming officials in the mortal world. Their Dao hearts would be tainted and their Dao bases would be tainted, leading to a reduction in lifespan. It would be difficult for them to recover. The Heavenly Dao maintained a delicate balance between gains and losses. Secondly, it was a nation with a strong Immortal Sect background. The large Immortal Sects would directly send their disciples to serve the nation.

Such situations were mainly concentrated in the central region of the South Continent.

Many mortal kingdoms were already the spokespersons of the immortal sects. They provided the immortal sect with an endless supply of “wealth” and “immortal seedlings”. Thirdly, they wanted to take the path of becoming a disciple and cultivating before returning to the mortal world, like Yuan Qing did. Ever since Emperor Da Yu returned to the Fire Cloud Cave, those three situations had begun to appear. It was now the norm in the mortal world.

In large countries in the South Continent and the East Continent, the royal family would either develop a powerful “King’s Power Conservation” faction, or become puppets controlled by an immortal faction.

The more powerful mortal royalty would use various methods to gain support for themselves. The Immortal Du Sect was the backer of the Honglin Kingdom. They enjoyed the continued worship of the Honglin Kingdom. Otherwise, how could they afford to raise batch after batch of disciples with the limited production of spirit meridians within 2,000 kilometers?

The mortal order is controlled by the Immortal Dao. It is chaotic.

The private desires of immortals are magnified infinitely in the mortal world. They are already plagued with demons to begin with. Li Changshou had one or two bold ideas for that. However, the time was not ripe yet. If he “reformed” violently, it might also shake the Dao Sect’s foundation and destiny… “Kill this demon on the spot!” Li Changshou looked up and saw a few Heaven Immortals attacking with all their might. More than ten streams of light shot out and struck the peacock demon.

The peacock demon screamed and fell from the sky. Youqin Xuanya pointed her sword forward and swooped down. Dozens of flying swords gathered in front of her, condensing into a thirty-feet-long sword that slashed at the peacock demon’s neck!

The peacock demon struggled with all its might. It turned its head and glared at Youqin Xuanya. A wisp of flame appeared on its forehead, and its entire body was quickly engulfed in flames. It smashed onto the ground like a meteor, causing waves of flames to splash out. Youqin Xuanya tapped her jade-like arm with her left hand, and the sword fingers on her right hand trembled slightly. Her body suddenly stopped and flew backward. The immortal power around her revolved like an ice-blue flower blooming in the night sky. The huge sword had already slashed open the waves of fire. It was wrapped in an icy-blue immortal light as it headed straight for the peacock demon’s head! Without any warning, Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat.

The huge sword slashed down. The peacock demon, which was wrapped in flames, could not deal with it. It lowered its head and accepted its fate. In the next moment, its head seemed to be thrown away and the great demon was killed.

At this moment!

The waves of fire suddenly stopped, and the falling sword was frozen in mid-air. A flash of green light quickly flashed, and the peacock demon disappeared. Li Changshou immediately reacted. The wave of hot flames and the huge sword’s stillness were an illusion. The green light was too fast. The huge sword cut through the air and the flames dissipated. Youqin Xuanya frowned slightly. The elders of the Immortal Du Sect were stunned. The generals of the Honglin Kingdom below did not know what had happened.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort sounded from the sky. He looked over and saw a figure floating in the sky under the moonlight.

Then, the person who had just appeared took a step forward. Five-colored light flickered on his body as he appeared in front of Youqin Xuanya and the elders of the Immortal Du Sect.

Before he could see the person’s face clearly, green light flashed and the peacock demon appeared behind him…

In front of the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect, the person raised his hand and tapped lightly. The flames around the peacock demon’s body quickly retracted into his body. His demon body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into the appearance of a young girl sitting cross-legged on the clouds.

The elders immediately stepped forward and protected Youqin Xuanya behind them. Youqin Xuanya waved the sword fingers in her right hand. The huge sword split into more than ten flying swords and surrounded her. She looked at the sword that had suddenly appeared… A man?

That person did not reveal his oppressive might. His figure was slender, and his long hair was scattered casually. He was dressed in an emerald-green brocade robe, but his face looked like a woman’s. He was rather beautiful.

The most strange thing was that he did not have any masculine aura, nor did he have any feminine aura. Yin and Yang seemed to fuse perfectly with each other on his body. It purely explained an inexplicable beauty…

When the person spoke, it was impossible to tell if he was male or female. There was a hint of pride in his voice.

“How many people did she kill?”

“Fellow Daoist, what do you mean?” The elder from the immortal sect frowned.

“Cut the karma,” the person said calmly. “Either I kill everyone here, or you tell me how many humans she killed, and I will save the corresponding number of humans. That way, we won’t owe each other anything.” The eyes of the Immortal Du Sect elder flickered. The teleportation mystical ability that the person used just now had revealed his extraordinary Dao Realm. Youqin Xuanya snorted and was about to refute him. However, a voice transmission entered her heart.

“Don’t speak. You can’t afford to offend them.”

Youqin Xuanya frowned and bit her lower lip.

The person raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Come out, the one underground.” The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched a few times, but he did not hide. The paper effigy flew 30,000 feet upwards, undid the Earth Escape, and appeared in front of the group of mortal immortal generals.

He was using the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist priest. At that moment, he stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He looked dignified.

”Fellow Daoist, you’re really impressive. I passed by Little Daoist Master Xuan today. These people are from Ren School. Please show mercy.” “Little Daoist Master?” The person frowned slightly. “What’s your relationship with that Great Daoist Master?”

Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, “We’re from the same sect.” “What proof do you have?” Li Changshou took out the jade token and threw it casually The person pointed it with his finger and sent the jade token back halfway. He stared at Li Changshou below with a complicated expression.

“How has he been recently?”

And…

Eh?

Li Changshou was instantly confused. His tone, tone, and the other party’s eyes were fluctuating.

What happened?

The Heavenly Emperor’s Virtue Monument was still hot. Why did he want to create another piece of news about the Primordial World?!

Li Changshou’s imagination was running wild. The person had already arrived on a cloud and brought the young girl who was in the form of a peacock demon down.

The elders of the Immortal Du Sect above finally reacted and bowed to Li Changshou. Youqin Xuanya, on the other hand, frowned slightly. The Little Daoist Master of Ren School… Wasn’t Senior Brother Changshou the one who sent the voice transmission to me?

At that moment, another voice transmission entered her ears.

“The experts are present. We cannot act rashly today. If I’m not wrong, this expert is one of the few mighty figures in the world.”

Youqin Xuanya nodded and agreed. The person seemed to have heard Li Changshou’s voice transmission and smiled.

That smile seemed to have some kind of bewitching power. It was like a woman smiling like hundreds of flowers blooming, but also like a gentle man who smiled gracefully… It was very contradictory and harmonious. As if to confirm what Li Changshou had said, five rays of divine light flickered behind the person, emitting an extremely powerful pressure.

The divine light and pressure disappeared in a flash, but the mortal immortals were panicking. The elders of the Immortal Du Sect and Youqin Xuanya were pale and their Dao hearts trembled.

The person did not look at anyone else. He only stared at Li Changshou’s paper effigy. He maintained a height of 30 feet from the ground and said proudly,

“Your guess is right. I’m Kong Xuan. Some time ago ago, my niece’s bloodline went berserk and she lost her mind. I just woke up from my seclusion and found this place. She should have already eaten some humans. Tell me the number. I’ll go and save someone before talking to you.”

Li Changshou looked at the elders of the Immortal Du Sect, who did not dare to speak.

Youqin Xuanya, who had landed beside Li Changshou, said, “There are two different things to save and kill.”

“In the past, my mind went berserk and I devoured a hundred thousand humans. So what?” Kong Xuan snorted coldly. “Later, when the demons refined the Magihuman Killing Dharma treasure to destroy the human race, I protected a million humans and repaid the karma. Since negative karma can be offset, why can’t killing and saving others be offset?” Youqin Xuanya took a step forward and resisted the pressure that Kong Xuan exuded. She said firmly, “Did you save one person?” Kong Xuan’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed as he said coldly, “There are all sorts of methods. They make up for each other.”

“The one being devoured…”

“Hey, Xuanya!” Li Changshou hurriedly stood up and blocked Youqin Xuanya. “Say less, say less.” An elder at the side immediately said, “This demon has wreaked havoc on mortals and has already devoured dozens of people.” “Hmph!” Kong Xuan’s figure flashed and disappeared. Instead, he left his niece, the peacock demon who had injured others, behind. There were a few sharp whistles in the world, and light kept flashing in the depths of the night sky. After a while, the green light appeared again and flashed past Li Changshou, leaving behind iron cages. There were hundreds of mortal men and women in the cages… Kong Xuan stood above the metal cage and looked at Youqin Xuanya. “This is blood food captured by the demons. I’ll return it tenfold.”

Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and looked indignant.

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Xuanya, are you a match for Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan?” “No,” Youqin Xuanya said softly. Li Changshou said, “I’m not either. Bear with it.” Youqin Xuanya bowed to Kong Xuan and stood behind Li Changshou. Kong Xuan smiled and said, “Little Daoist Master, you are quite an amazing person. By the way, did your Great Daoist Master… mention me?”

Li Changshou could not help but think in his heart. If he were to tell the truth, would he anger the ruthless character of the Primordial World who had a “blurred position”?

“I haven’t been interacting with the Great Daoist Master for long…” Kong Xuan’s expression became sullen at a visible rate.

“However, I’ve heard the Great Daoist Master mention it once or twice!”

Kong Xuan instantly cleared his mind. He squinted and smiled. “What did he say?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Are you a man or a woman?

Although he did not understand that question, he felt that things would become… very exciting. “Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “This concerns my Great Daoist Master’s reputation. Pardon me for asking, but is your Dao name ‘Xuan’ written as’ Xuan Cao ‘or’ Declaration’?” “Ask me if I have the Yin or Yang attribute. Just ask directly. Just now, I thought that you’re straightforward and that your personality is not bad.”

Kong Xuan snorted and said calmly, “I have yet to decide if I belong to the Yin or Yang.”

Kong Xuan paused and recalled something. He said casually, “If he hadn’t avoided me back then, I might have made a choice.”

That works?

That’s not right. There seems to be a story behind this. However, to be safe, Li Chang did not dare to say much or ask too many questions…
