My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 153 - The Birth of a Paper Effigy Of The Heaven Immortal Realm



Chapter 153 The Birth of a Paper Effigy Of The Heaven Immortal Realm

Twelve years in advance…

It’s probably intentional, isn’t it?

The Sect Leader and the few elders who knew about this matter must have been messing with me on purpose, right?

In the beginning, the person who received the news about the Three Sects’ Meet was actually the Sect Leader, Daoist Wuyou.

Li Changshou secretly observed that a few days ago, a Cloud-Piercing Spiritual Sword flew through the air. The Sect Leader gathered a few elders for a discussion.

Due to the fact that he had been monitoring the Immortal Downpour Peak, Li Changshou had also… monitored the matters in the sect.

However, he passively investigated using the Wind Speech Incantation. The news that he could hear was that they were gathering the disciples at the Hundred Mortal Hall to discuss…

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was just a “pre-departure” concentrated discussion.

No matter how he thought about it, the entire process from gathering the disciples to reprimanding them to setting off, would not exceed two to three years at most.

Didn’t they just gather the disciples to make them read the sect rules and to warn the disciples to follow the rules and not go out and embarrass themselves…

Aren’t they afraid that someone would forget about his warning later since he gave it twelve years in advance?

How long had it been since the last disciple meeting of the Dragon Palace?

Why is it brought forward this time!?!

“Forget it.

Li Changshou had calculated all kinds of things but he had miscalculated the depth of the human heart.

He thought that the Sect Leader and Elder in the sect would place a lot of importance on the Three Sects’ Meet. After all, the Immortal Du Sect only barely qualified to participate.

However, Li Changshou did not expect that they would take it that seriously! Li Changshou was shocked! Li Changshou lay on the straw bed. His mind slowly calmed down and he began to quickly find a solution.

This accident was just a small setback in life.

There was no way that he would be able to achieve a smooth-sailing journey in his path towards Zenith Heaven.

After Jiu Wu and Youqin Xuanya left, Ling’e stood by the side and endured for a long time. She almost bit her lips, but in the end, she could not help but cover her mouth and laugh… Li Changshou glanced at her. Ling’e immediately retracted her smile and put on a pitiful look. Her eyes were filled with pity.

Ling’e whispered, “Senior Brother… I feel sorry for you.”

Li Changshou calmly sent a voice transmission. “Go and cultivate. I really want to change my strategy and let you lie here.”

“Excuse me! Farewell! Call me if you need anything!”

Ling’e clasped her hands and hurriedly left the straw hut. She covered her mouth and chuckled. Then, she floated back into her straw hut like the wind.

It was really not easy for her to see her senior brother suffer a setback!

She had to continue with the act.

Li Changshou forced himself to lie on the bed for three years before he got up and returned to the Pill Chamber. He then began to ponder over the method of incarnation.

In an event like the Three Sects’ Meet, there was actually a certain amount of safety. There would be many big shots from the Dao Sects, and the main conflict was mainly between Jie School and Chan School.

The Immortal Du Sect was just going to be a bystander…

However, that was the place where karma would gather in the Primordial World twelve years later!

The mere touch of a big shot would cause a series of future events…

Li Changshou no longer needed the other experts from the three sects to remember him.

He had already made a connection with the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. With the mission given by the Grand Pure One, he only needed to persist in the eight-word approach of ‘staying calm without doing anything and avoiding trouble’. His future would be stable!

At that meet, a few of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School should appear.

On the other hand, some inner and outer sect disciples might appear in the Middle Continent.

The purpose of that conference was to resolve the increasing conflicts between the three sects and make the Dao Sect more prosperous.

The reason that Li Changshou wanted to avoid it was because he had long seen the huge karma that might appear during the meet…

It was not an exaggeration to say that Li Changshou had seen far more than any expert below the Saint!

The Three Sects’ Meet was aimed at tracing the roots of the sect, recalling the bad memories, and reminiscing the sweet memories. It would allow the three sects to temporarily put aside their previous conflicts and restrain themselves. They would each have their own territory to develop and take in disciples to preach the Dao. The Three Sects would welcome a more prosperous situation.

Then, the three sects would expand and threaten the stability of the world. The Heavenly Dao would be preparing the Limitless Death Tribulation…

Wouldn’t that bring about the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

As for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Li Changshou had already found a backing. There was no need for him to interfere in that matter.

Therefore, Li Changshou had first modified the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra thrice over the years. He had deduced the cultivation technique to the point that it was almost flawless!

He had put in plenty of effort to pretend to be sick!

Who knew…

Forget it, there is no point in mentioning it.

There are still nine years before the opening of the Three Sects’ Meet. I have to make a decision now. Should I go or not? This is a rather serious question.

Li Changshou naturally did not stay idle for the past three years.

A portion of paper effigies was busy with making money and was building the “safe house” outside the door.

A portion of the paper effigies was changing their defenses at the edge of the South Ocean. They were prepared to deal with the Western Sect, the dragon race, and General Dongmu.

There definitely wouldn’t be a delay in cultivation.

In addition to cultivation, Li Changshou had spent the past three years on the method of deducting for his incarnation.

“By borrowing the mystical ability bestowed by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, I can perfect the paper effigies.”

It was not easy to walk that path. It was very difficult to cultivate the mystical abilities of

Changshou’s previous tricks. However, as long as Li Changshou’s thoughts could be realized, the paper effigy would undergo a qualitative change!

Li Changshou had a principle.

To be safe, the paper effigy must not have any consciousness. It must remain purely as a Dharma treasure with mystical abilities.

It was impossible for Li Changshou to leave any hidden danger around him…

In that aspect, what inspired Li Changshou was actually the classic ” television series” that he had watched many times in his previous life—’My Bald Monk Of A Master Is Clearly Very Weak, But He Is Popular With Women’.

There was a classic segment of it. It was the scene of the White Bone Spirit teasing Brother and the stone monkey raising his stick in anger and shame.

At that time, the White Bone Demoness kept changing her physical body. She used demonic techniques to kill mortals…

Li Changshou wanted a paper effigy technique that was in that form-he wanted to change paper effigies like he was changing clothes.

Only his main body, his mind, and single consciousness would shift back and forth.

Therefore, Li Changshou did not directly cultivate the mystical ability of the incarnation outside the sect. Instead, he spent more time and effort to improve his paper effigy.

He had made great progress during the three years of being bed-ridden.

In the secret room under the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou sat in a circular chair and tapped his fingers on the table.

Did he use his identity as an ordinary disciple of the remote Dao faction of Ren School to go to the Three Sects’ Meet? Or did he create some trouble before he left to avoid the meet?

The sect had called for a meeting twelve years earlier. Regarding that matter… Li Changshou felt that something was amiss.

It was as if the entire sect was targeting him… Li Changshou quickly decided not to make that decision.

After four years, he would go to the Hundred Mortal Hall to offer incense and pay his respects to the Saint.

If the Saint secretly affected the Immortal Du Sect and arranged that matter, there might be other hints…

Thus, four years later, an afternoon…

“The weather today is not bad.”

Li Changshou rode a cloud and slowly flew back from Pill Tripod Peak. He scanned with his immortal senses and saw Lingle and Little Aunt-Master hiding in the spiritual beast enclosure.

Ling’e did not need to go to the Three Sects’ Meet. Little Aunt-Master was the face of the Perfected Immortals in the sect, so she still had to attend it.

There was a strong tension in the Immortal Du Sect. It was even worse than the ambiance before the competition in the sect.

The Three Sects’ Meet was imminent. In another three to four years, the Immortal Du Sect would embark on their trip to the Three Sects’ Meet.

It was the day of Li Changshou’s recovery.

He deliberately ran to Pill Tripod Peak and visited Elder Wan Linyun, who was alone. He chatted with Elder Wan Linyun for a few hours and took a walk before returning to Little Qiong Peak.

Elder Wan did not see through his act…

Li Changshou muttered to himself for a while. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. He had another thought.

He passed Little Qiong Peak and flew to the Heaven-Breaking Peak’s Dao Repository hall at a suitable altitude… An hour later, Li Changshou returned to the Dao Repository Hall. A smile graced his face as he returned to the Little Qiong Peak. He went to visit Elder Qi Ling and thanked him for treating him when he was bedridden.

After that, Li Changshou shamelessly chatted with Elder Qi Ling and finally confirmed… that he had not been seen through by Elder Qi Ling! “The mystical ability imparted by the Great Daoist Master is really powerful.”

Li Changshou’s new paper effigy had caused him half a year’s worth of effort. At that moment, it already had the aura of a living person. It could disguise its cultivation level into, shallow, low, intermediate, and high. It was like an armor that could be disassembled at any time.

To Li Changshou, the most advanced cultivation level of the new paper effigy was the upper limit that the paper effigy could unleash. He had already reached the initial-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm!

In other words, Li Changshou had honed his multitasking technique by himself. He could control three to four combat units that had the strength of a Heavenly Immortal.

As such, Li Changshou had recently thought of using the Elite Paper Effigy Squad to attack, assist, poison, split the other party’s mind, and kill some powerful Heaven Immortals without being injured…

Of course, he had to make a move first.

This paper effigy still had a fatal flaw. It was a difficult problem that Li Changshou could not overcome in his current realm.

Its immortal power could not recover on its own.

Furthermore, he had used three times the amount of spirit tree sap that he had used previously on the old paper effigy, to create the new one. He had also used plenty of spiritual beast blood to carry more power of the essence soul.

If the paper effigy were to get self-destructed or destroyed, Li Changshou’s heart would ache slightly.

However, he still had to prepare the necessary restrictions.

Li Changshou had already experienced the benefits of self-improvement. Naturally, he would not let it go…

After returning to Little Qiong Peak from the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Li Changshou rushed back to the Heaven-Breaking Peak again after half a day.

This time, he used his real body to head there and placed three high incense sticks in front of the portrait of the Saint.

He said softly, “I have some doubts. I wonder if I will be able to bear the responsibility of going to the Middle Continent.”

When the elders heard the mumbling, they smiled and nodded. Their impression of Li Changshou had improved.

There was no movement from the Saint’s portrait, nor were there any Dao runes descending.

However, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in Li Changshou’s heart. This realization condensed into a simple word. It slowly surfaced in his heart and quickly dissipated, as if it had never appeared before.

“Stay quiet and practice inaction, start and end with stability.”

This is… the Saint’s commandment!

The Saint has not only remembered me, but he has also given orders personally!

Li Changshou was instantly excited. He immediately made a decision. After kowtowing thrice, he stood up and left.

At the same time, under the tree in the backyard of the Tushita Palace, Great Daoist

pure kindness.

“Teacher’s method of transmitting enlightenment through the Great Dao… is really useful.”

In one of the few Dao factions of Ren School, the Carefree Immortal Sect in the Middle Continent…

In the thick but smooth mountain-protecting array formation that was on a crowded peak… an old Daoist carried a horsetail whisk and floated to his beloved disciple’s stone hut, where he cultivated daily.

The moment he approached the stone hut, the old Daoist priest who was at the Heaven Immortal realm shuddered and subconsciously set up several layers of immortal power barriers around him.

After some thought, the old Daoist priest took out a Heart-Protecting Mirror and placed it on his chest. He took out an armor that was shining with immortal light and put it on himself…

After that, the fully-armed old Daoist priest carefully pushed open the door of the stone hut and shouted, “Lingli, I have something to tell you.”

Huff…

The sound of wind blowing swiftly could be heard from the door. A figure as majestic as an iron tower was constantly waving a long rod.

The long rod, which weighed 1,500 kilograms and was made of Earth Mystic Spiritual Metal, had the texture of a Chinese parasol tree in her hands!

The old Daoist priest shouted again. This time, he used his immortal power. “Lingli, I have something to tell you!”

The burly figure turned around, only to reveal an adorable face that resembled that of a young girl. She was elated to see the old Daoist priest.

“Ah, Master! You’re here to see me!”

Before she could finish his sentence, the staff flew out of her hand and towards the old Daoist priest. The old Daoist priest’s expression changed instantly…
