Chapter 618: Brother, I Can Only Help You This Much
“Why aren’t you going in?”
Youqin Xuanya was stunned when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
In front of the Grand White Hall, Youqin Xuanya hurriedly turned around and looked at Li Changshou, who had appeared not far behind her.
She had already changed into her usual golden armor. When Li Changshou admired her from afar, he could not help but think of some childhood memories from his previous life. He felt that she looked extremely similar to...
‘Athena’, who stole the golden holy garment.
“Lord Taibai Jinxing.”
Youqin Xuanya cupped her fists and bowed. There was joy on her face, but she quickly covered it up.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Why? Aren’t you going to call me Senior Brother?”
Youqin Xuanya blushed slightly. She pursed her lips and said softly, “Senior Brother...”
“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. “Let’s go in and talk. The Little Qiong Peak is bustling. The last time I went to talk to you, I wanted you to come to the Little Qiong Peak more often. However, you did not give me the honor. There are no ferocious beasts that eat humans here.”
“This, this... I can’t bring myself to disturb Senior Brother and Junior Sister Ling’e...”
“What’s there to disturb? Let’s go!”
Li Changshou casually threw out an immortal power and pulled Youqin Xuanya into the Grand White Hall. He smiled and said, “In the Immortal Du Sect, apart from Uncle-Master Jiu and Aunt-Master Jiu, you are the closest to us. When you reach the Heavenly Courts, you should help each other. Why are you getting separated?”
Youqin Xuanya stammered and could not say anything. Even though she was only being pulled by Li Changshou’s immortal power, her feet were already weak and she could not exert any strength.
Her immortal power was weak.
She looked up at Li Changshou’s back and listened to his “nagging”. For some reason, she forgot the words that she had prepared.
“This time... it’s all thanks to Senior Brother for helping Xuanya take revenge...”
“About Randeng?”
“Yes.”
“You have contributed greatly to this matter. I should be thanking you.”
Li Changshou pulled Youqin Xuanya to his side and rode a cloud out of the rear door of the Great White Hall. They rushed to the small mountain peak in front of them, which was surrounded by clouds.
After entering the Mustard Seed Array, Youqin Xuanya heard Zhao Gongming’s loud laughter. She looked over and saw many people around the Little Qiong Peak.
Zhao Gongming, Perfected Taiyi, and the other experts of the two sects were celebrating. The male immortals were clapping and laughing. The Goddess of Golden Spirit, Fairy Qiong Xiao, and the other female mighty figures of the world covered their mouths and chuckled.
Ling’e was controlling the two paper effigies and putting on a comedy show.
Beside the stove not far away, Chef Bai Ze was cooking. He was busy. Xiong Lingli, who was a young girl, ran around.
At the banquet venue under the tree by the lake, a white figure sat beside Ling’e. She smiled slightly, but it was already intoxicating...
“Senior Yun Xiao is also here...”
Youqin Xuanya muttered softly and immediately took half a step back from the cloud. “Senior Brother, I don’t think I should go over.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t worry. She’s very gentle. Don’t think too much.”
After saying that, the white cloud under her feet suddenly sped up. Youqin Xuanya could not retreat.
Li Changshou was sincere. He wanted to pull her, who had no friends in the Heavenly Courts, back into the social circle of the Little Qiong Peak.
“Senior Brother! Uh... Senior Sister Youqin!”
Ling’e shouted in surprise. She abandoned the two small paper effigies and ignored the folds of her immortal dress when she was kneeling. She turned into a stream of light and pounced over.
When Ling’e stopped, she was already behind Li Changshou. Her eyes were sparkling as she kept talking to Youqin Xuanya.
“Changgeng is back!”
Zhao Gongming sat there and greeted, “Is the stone coffin really placed at Ksitigarbha’s place? Is everything going smoothly?”
“Everything is settled. Everything is going smoothly.”
Li Changshou smiled and cupped his hands. Perfected Huang Long and Perfected Yu Ding stood up and returned the greeting. The others sat and cupped their hands.
He was already 90% familiar with it. There was no need to be too polite.
However, Fairy Yun Xiao stood up and bowed to Li Changshou. Zhao Gongming and the other immortals were a little embarrassed. They stood up and bowed again.
Ling’e had already landed on the cloud with Youqin Xuanya.
“Let me introduce you.”
Li Changshou turned around and gave Youqin Xuanya up. He said warmly, “This is my junior sister who was very good when she was cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect. Youqin Xuanya is also a general of the Heavenly Courts.”
“The Goddess of War of the Heavenly Courts.” Perfected Huang Long smiled and said, “I’ve been famous for a long time. I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“Greetings, seniors.” Youqin Xuanya cupped her fists and bowed. She used the etiquette of a general of the Heavenly Courts.
The experts of the Dao Sect bowed. They did not show any disrespect because of Youqin Xuanya’s cultivation level.
Zhao Gongming looked at Youqin Xuanya, Ling’e, and Yun Xiao. He immediately felt a little worried as his future brother-in-law.
“Fellow Daoist Xuanya...”
“Tsk.” Perfected Taiyi raised his eyebrows and slid his shovel horizontally, snatching it away. “May I ask how should Fellow Daoist Youqin address Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao?”
Yun Xiao did not understand why she was called out by Perfected Taiyi.
Youqin Xuanya was stunned for a moment. Then, she snapped out of her daze and blushed. She pretended to be calm.
“I should have called you Senior. If, if I include your relationship with Senior Brother Yun Xiao, I should call you Senior Sister Yun Xiao.”
“Oh?”
Perfected Taiyi felt regretful. “I thought you were going to call me Sister... Wu! Wu! Wu!”
Before he could finish speaking, a huge hand reached out from the side and pressed the Shut up Pearl into Taiyi’s mouth at lightning speed!
Perfected Yu Ding smiled apologetically at Li Changshou and pulled Taiyi behind him.
Li Changshou did not mind that. He smiled and said, “Xuanya, take a seat with Ling’e. There’s no need to be reserved. These senior experts are rather gentle and kind. By the way, is Yang Jian still not back? Where did Ling Zhuzi go?”
Perfected Yu Ding said, “The two of them said that they went out to find a place to spar. Don’t worry.”
Li Changshou sat down between Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long and casually changed the topic.
When Perfected Huang Long saw Li Changshou, he recalled the battle a few days ago. He could not help but sigh and drink the wine in the bottle.
“Ah, such a big Deputy Sect Master is gone just like that?”
The Daoists more or less sighed.
Zhao Gongming said, “Let’s talk about it. Randeng is indeed a ruthless character. Since ancient times, he has had a place in the world. He’s not someone with an undeserved reputation.”
“We’ve even suffered a few losses under his hands,” Qiong Xiao muttered. “There’s something about this fellow. He’s the same as Brother-in-law. He likes to plot and scheme. He’s so arrogant.”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “Alright, I can’t protect my reputation.”
The fairies chuckled. Ling’e whispered, “Senior Brother only plots against those enemies.”
“Indeed,” Perfected Yu Ding said. “I feel at ease knowing Changgeng.”
Perfected Taiyi came over and spat out the Dharma treasure ball. He smiled and said, “Junior Brother Yu Ding, are you friends with me?”
Yu Ding was speechless.
“I’m tired.”
Perfected Taiyi’s face darkened. The surrounding immortals clapped and laughed.
Huang Long picked up the wine bottle and said seriously, “No matter what, Randeng is still the Deputy Sect Master of the Dao Sect, Chan School. Let’s toast him here and send him off.”
“Why should I respect him?”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was a little dissatisfied. “He has done many evil deeds and has ulterior motives. He is also a pawn planted by the Western Sect and is also guilty of refining the Major Chiliocosm. I won’t be happy if I don’t destroy him.”
“Ah.”
Zhao Gongming pulled the Goddess of Golden Spirit’s arm and whispered, “Jin Ling, it’s not appropriate for us to talk about Randeng now. Firstly, others will laugh at us for being narrow-minded. They think that we won’t even let off the defeated and want to ridicule them. Secondly, Deputy Sect Master Randeng was given the position by Second Uncle-Master. Although Second Uncle-Master does not know about Randeng’s evil deeds, it is not appropriate for us to say more. The three sects have different ideals. There’s no need to judge a single immortal.”
“Brother Gongming, you’re so magnanimous.” Li Changshou raised his wine bottle and clinked it with Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming blinked and immediately understood something.
Fairy Yun Xiao asked gently, “Did you put up a strong front in the battle previously? Are you injured?”
The surrounding people could not help but be shocked. They looked at Li Changshou worriedly.
Li Changshou suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed weakly.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s just a small injury. It’s not worth mentioning. It’s my duty to contribute to the development of the Heavenly Courts.”
The immortals could not help but scoff. They naturally knew that he was joking.
Ling’e said, “Senior Brother, you can’t say that casually. Are you really not injured?”
“Didn’t you see it in the copper mirror?”
Li Changshou smiled and squinted. “Didn’t an in-name disciple of the Saint of Ren School say that he wants to cultivate in seclusion and work hard to break through the Golden Immortal Tribulation?”
“Hehe, hehe, I’m just worried about Senior Brother...”
Ling’e moved behind Yun Xiao and whispered, “Sister Yun, save me.” The male immortals looked at Li Changshou with hatred.
98% of them hated him!
“By the way, Changgeng.” Zhao Gongming was puzzled. “What realm are you in now? The Great Dao of Equalization is so smooth. Could it be that you have already entered the realm of an eminence without saying anything?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Almighties are just empty titles. It’s all about accumulation. I’m naturally far from qualified. This is one of my trump cards. I naturally can’t tell anyone.”
Perfected Huang Long said, “What can’t I say? In the ancient times, whoever broke through to the first stage would want to hold a banquet for ten years.”
“Life is hard. The Great Tribulation is ahead.”
Li Changshou took the opportunity to instill some “practical” ideas into everyone present.
“The so-called trump card can be a mystical ability, a Dharma treasure, or a powerful ally. There are two types of trump cards. One of them is to hide and deliberately let others know that I have it so as to deter the powerful enemies. One was to hide it and not let others know of its existence. It was to achieve a decisive effect at the crucial moment. For example, when I tried to capture Senior Brother Xiongliu previously, he was caught off guard by me...”
Qiong Xiao asked, “When you hit Randeng, Brother-in-law, are the patterns on your body the battle tactics of the Magi?”
“Yes, it was given by Goddess Houtu. It’s also a part of my trump card.”
Ling’e whispered, “When my Senior Brother was a Heaven Immortal, everyone in the sect thought that he had yet to become an immortal.”
“Then so on...”
Daoist Huang Long calculated with his fingers and looked up at Li Changshou. “Junior Brother, is your true cultivation level at the Half-Saint realm?”
“How is that possible?” Li Changshou glared at Ling’e.
Ling’e made a face and pulled Youqin Xuanya to hide beside Yun Xiao. She looked like she had already won.
“Reliance”.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit suddenly felt a little sad. She sighed and said, “Randeng died just like that... What about us?”
Perfected Taiyi said, “Let’s talk about other things. It feels a little unlucky to talk about the late Deputy Sect Master.”
“Then let’s talk about... mounts.” Zhao Gongming smiled and asked, “Changgeng, how do you feel sitting on Mr. Bai?Where can I get such a divine beast?”
Buzz!
A pot lid flew over from the side and accurately hit Zhao Gongming’s back, causing him to scream.
Bai Ze, who was beside the stove, cursed with a black face, “Why don’t you ask what it feels like to have the Water God on my back! Ahem, it’s quite good. Water God, don’t misunderstand. I’m very comfortable.”
“Hey.” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Mr. Bai is an important member of Ren School. He is not just a mount.”
The immortals could not help but smile and chat on this topic.
They mentioned that before the creation of the world, the Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix had been the mounts of the Pangu God. They had carried the Pangu God to chase after the Connate Godfiends.
He also mentioned that in the ancient times, there was a mighty figure who was subdued and accepted as a mount. However, he later tricked his master and destroyed both jade and stone.
He also mentioned the end of the ancient times, the battle of the Half Magi, the battle between Emperor Huang Xuanyuan and Chi You. Chi You lost because his mount was weaker.
“Why?” Li Changshou asked in confusion.
Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “That iron-eating demonic beast... is too straightforward. It became flustered after being angered.”
Iron-eating Magical Beast?
Li Changshou could not help but imagine that scene.
A certain treasure beast in armor suddenly stood up and flipped Chi You over.
If I don’t give the honey and cured meat tonight, I won’t be long-winded today!
The Xuanyuan troops swarmed forward and surrounded Chi You.
Chi You, was defeated.
Li Changshou shook his head hard and quickly wiped away the image. He continued to focus on the topic and chatted with everyone about the various mythical beasts that were suitable to be mounts.
Unknowingly, the stars were densely packed, and the sun rose from the east.
There were immortals singing and fairies playing the zither. There were also paper effigies sending wine. It was beautiful to be in pairs.
After Li Changshou returned, the immortal banquet lasted for three days. The immortals knew that they could not stay in the Little Qiong Peak for long and bade farewell together.
Ling’e asked Yun Xiao to stay in the Little Qiong Peak for a few more days. Yun Xiao said that it was currently the Great Tribulation. As a disciple of Jie School, she was also in the Tribulation. It was not appropriate for her to stay in the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou gave Ling’e a look, and she stopped persuading him.
Youqin Xuanya had only come here to drink some wine and eat some food. She chatted with Ling’e. Due to the obvious difference in their horizons and Dao Realm, she could not integrate into the conversation between the immortals.
Before leaving the Little Qiong Peak, Perfected Huang Long pulled Taiyi and whispered, “Junior Brother, don’t smile so happily. Even if you don’t appear sad, you should restrain your smile.”
“Senior Brother, don’t worry.” Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Deputy Sect Master Randeng... is also happy.”
Perfected Yu Ding reached into his sleeve.
Perfected Taiyi hurriedly stopped smiling. He pinched the corners of his eyes and sighed softly with his hands behind his back.
“Deputy Sect Master, take care.”
The immortals left the Grand White Hall. The Golden Roc waited in front and transformed into its main body to pick them up.
However, Li Changshou said, “I still have to meet Teacher and ask about the origins of the stone coffin. I’ll get the Golden Roc to send everyone off on my behalf.”
“Sure, sure.”
Perfected Huang Long agreed with a smile.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit felt that Perfected Huang Long had been protecting Randeng’s reputation. She was a little unhappy and said calmly, “Changgeng, rest. It’s tiring to kill demons.”
Perfected Taiyi looked at the Goddess of Golden Spirit in surprise.
‘This should be elementary, right?’
The Golden Roc spread its wings and carried the immortals towards the Central Heaven Gate.
After successfully leaving the Central Heaven Gate, the immortals of the Chan School and Jie School bade farewell to each other. Then, they rode a cloud towards the east and west.
The cloud flew thousands of kilometers away. Zhao Gongming suddenly slapped his forehead and said, “I forgot to ask Changgeng something. You guys go first. I’ll go back again.”
He turned around and was about to slip back to the Heavenly Courts.
Yun Xiao asked, “Brother, why don’t I accompany you?”
“No need, no need!”
Zhao Gongming waved his hand and gave Yun Xiao a meaningful look. He said seriously, “Let’s talk about some topics between male immortals. You female immortals should stop asking.”
Yun Xiao was about to remind Zhao Gongming to be careful when Jin Ling pulled Yun Xiao’s arm and spat at Zhao Gongming.
“Let him go. He only has that little ability. He learned it from Changgeng.”
Fairy Yun Xiao did not understand, but she realized that it should be related to the relationship between men and women. She did not say anything.
Big Brother is already experienced. He should be teaching him some experience.
Yun Xiao’s thoughts were a little complicated. She subconsciously looked at Liu Yun in the distance.
He was considerate. Brother, you know that Changshou is pure...
...
Not long after, on the Little Qiong Peak in the backyard of the Grand White Palace.
Zhao Gongming entered the array formation sneakily. After hearing the voice transmission, he headed straight for the Pill Chamber.
By the lake, Bai Ze, who was rolling up his sleeves and wearing an apron, was thinking. He did not follow her.
Ling’e tilted her head and blinked. She thought about the wine and dishes that she had just set up in the Pill Chamber and looked puzzled.
Since Senior Brother wants to entertain Brother Gongming alone, why don’t you stay?
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back. When Zhao Gongming flew over, he turned around and made an inviting gesture.
“Brother, we do have a tacit understanding.”
“Hahahaha!”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and laughed. “Let’s clink our cups twice. Each cup is lighter. Doesn’t that mean that there will be a small banquet after the banquet? Hahahaha!”
“Please.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He sat cross-legged with Zhao Gongming.
They did not exchange pleasantries. Zhao Gongming picked up a piece of fish and brought it to his mouth. He was puzzled. “Why did you call me back alone?”
“There are some things that I can’t do in front of Senior Brother Huang Long and the others.”
Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table and activated the layers of array formations on the Little Qiong Peak.
Only the Heaven-Shrouding Array was not activated.
He said slowly, “Brother, did you gain anything from watching me fight with Randeng this time?”
Zhao Gongming nodded and said seriously, “Your physical body has to be tempered first. Otherwise, when you encounter a powerful physical cultivation technique like the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, Primordial Dao cultivators of the same realm will not be able to withstand it.”
Li Changshou said, “That’s right. It’s indeed necessary to strengthen your body and fill in the gaps. I’ll write some insights for you later. Is there anything else?”
Zhao Gongming was puzzled. “What else... is there? Brother, just say what you want to say, if you give me any benefits, I will accept them shamelessly. If you do anything wrong, just tell me. How can I not listen to you?”
Li Changshou hummed softly and said, “Brother, your Sea-Calming Divine Pearl...”
“You want it? I’ll let you use it! It’s not a big deal! Do the two of us have to be so polite with each other?”
Zhao Gongming waved his hand and twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls landed beside Li Changshou. Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Brother, put away the treasures first. Don’t hurt their hearts.”
“It’s a small matter. We’re a family. They won’t suffer in your hands.”
Li Changshou pushed the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl back and said seriously, “When I used the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl previously, I realized that the internal structure is very similar to a Major Chiliocosm with all five elements, but there is endless seawater. Brother, have you fully understood the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl?”
“There are also things that I don’t understand,” Zhao Gongming said. “However, let me say this shamelessly. Apart from Master and the two Uncle-Masters, I should be the living beings of the Primordial World who understand them the most.”
“Brother, have you thought about whether there is any room for development in the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl?”
Li Changshou stopped speaking. He did not dare to speak too bluntly lest he was served by the Dao Ancestor’s Little Thunder Whip.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “I’ve really thought about that. Unfortunately, the universe in the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl is illusory. It’s a projection of some laws that can’t materialize. The limit of their power was like the twenty-four worlds suppressing their opponents. However, it is only similar. If you want to make it real, you will lack some catalysts.”
“Jie Yin?”
“Yes, Jie Yin.” Zhao Gongming hugged his arms and sighed. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. In the end, I gave up on that idea. If he could deduce a step forward with the Divine Will Pearl, it would be equivalent to carrying the power of the twenty-four Major Chiliocosms. It would be terrifying. However, it was easier said than done. Although the Chaos came from the void and everything came from nothing, it is still lacking the guidance of the Great Dao. It is lacking...”
Crash!
Li Changshou’s hand trembled and a long ruler landed on the side of the table. Zhao Gongming took a closer look and sensed the Dao runes on the black ruler. His eyes lit up.
“Brother.” Li Changshou was puzzled. “Is this ruler yours? Why is it here?”
“This is not Randeng’s Cosmic... Yes! I accidentally dropped it!”
“That’s too stable.”
Li Changshou picked up the Cosmic Ruler and stuffed it into Zhao Gongming’s hand. There was a smile in his eyes.
Zhao Gongming’s mind was blocked for a while. Then, he was overjoyed. He raised his hand and punched Li Changshou.
“You brat! Hahaha! The Great Dao is completed! After comprehending for two to three hundred years, the Great Dao will be completed!”
Li Changshou looked at the blue sky outside the Pill Chamber and thought to himself, ‘Indeed.’
The Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao will not stop anything that was beneficial to the Heavenly Courts and perfected the Heavenly Dao. Even if they secretly dealt with the stolen goods obtained from the Heavenly Punishment...
In that case, Brother is safe.
