My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 169 The Primordial World Is Too Complicated, The Dao Path Is Slippery And Obstructed

If Master Zhao continues to con him, things would not be easy to handle…

It would be a small matter to lead astray Jie School and even the Dao Sect. If Zhao Gongming had helped the ten Heavenly Lords during the Great God-Conferment War and defeated Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and the Heavenly Venerate… then capture them and throw them into the Ten Absolute Chain Array…

Pfft, you guys are so ruthless. The three sects are a family. I have been showing mercy to you all, but you want to kill me!

It will take me hundreds of thousands of years to recover from this injury. Come, follow me to the Jade Void Palace to look for Second Aunt-Master!

Then, Qiong Xiao will help by crying…

Wouldn’t that be… a mess?

Li Changshou held his forehead and groaned softly.

Fortunately, the matter of the God roll had yet to be settled. The Saint had yet to sign and seal the God roll, so he was not considered to have caused karma.

What could he do about that?

The Primordial World was huge, but if the Saint did not help, who could control Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao?

There were already changes in Jie School. Could it be that he had to go help the big shots of Chan School?

That was naturally a joke. He would definitely shun from those matters. How would he dare to get involved?

However, Uncle Zhao…

I cannot become enemies with him, nor do I dare to have a deep relationship with him, let alone Qiong Xiao. Although they are loyal and they value friendship, they still lack merit since they actually dare to act ruthlessly against the Saint.

Li Changshou smiled bitterly. He made a ‘ding’ sound in his heart and secretly added his own dub.

May I ask if I can embark on the mission to save the Three Xiao Fairies? The mission rewards shall be the Golden Chalice, Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and to win Qiong Xiao’s favor. The punishment for failing the mission would be death.

No, 10,000 times. Thank you.

Sigh…

He did not know when the Jade Emperor’s decree would be completed. At that moment, the Heavenly Courts’ efficiency was too slow because they lacked too many legitimate

gods.

With that decree, Li Changshou could obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao and officially become the Sea God.

The Sea God of the South Ocean should be a legitimate god, and that would be the first life-saving trump card that Li Changshou would use in the future during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

He heard strange chanting sounds coming from the wind.

“The laws of Heaven and Earth are based on virtue…”

At the scene of the Three Sects’ Meet, a few Golden Immortal Daoist elders were sitting in the middle of the lake and taking turns to explain the Three Sects’ Great Dao.

Li Changshou did not dare to listen. If he was touched… that would not be good.

It seemed that the Three Sects’ Meet would last for quite a long time.

Due to Li Changshou destroying the last two birdcages, the matter revolving around the Faraday Cage had ended.

However, Li Changshou did not stop his work.

After Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao left the Sea God Temple, Li Changshou went to thank Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and took the initiative to explain that Senior Yun Zhongzi had already given him many treasures in the bottle… Ji Wuyou, the Sect Leader would not covet his treasures.

However, he was quite envious.

Ji Wuyou did not forget to cough and remind Li Changshou that treasures were just external objects after all. Cultivation was the foundation.

Li Changshou repeatedly agreed.

Among the numinous treasures that Senior Yun Zhongzi had given him, there were defensive-type numinous treasures like immortal robes, and immortal boots. There were also jade pendants, necklaces, and other accessories. They were all mens’ style.

One of them was a numinous-treasure-level replica of the Judge’s Brush. Its power was not bad, and it had a good amplification effect on Li Changshou’s main combat mystical ability of writing sutras and turning them into laws.

Li Changshou was rather fond of the replica of the brush and treated it as his “main weapon”.

The products from Yunzhong must be of excellent quality!

The treasure that could be considered a Postnatal numinous Treasure was a small pagoda that could take in people and suppress demons. It could also be used as a brick to smash people.

Li Changshou thought about it. It was still too extravagant to give the paper effigy a Postnatal numinous treasure…

It would not be too late to give them to the paper effigies when he had more Postnatal numinous treasures.

“Brother, I’m done reading.”

Xiong Lingli, who was meditating on the “mattress”, answered obediently and handed the bamboo slip to Li Changshou.

Li Changshou smiled and gave Xiong Lingli a pill to get rid of her hunger pangs. He then said, “Be patient. Once the meet is over, I’ll let you have a good meal.”

“It’s alright, Cousin. I’m not hungry.” Xiong Lingli stuffed the pill into her mouth and said weakly. She could not help but yawn.

Soon, the thunderous snoring sounded again…

Jiu Wu, who was meditating at the side, was woken up by the noise. He opened a crack and the two of them started to transmit voices across a fake mountain.

“Changshou, I’ve never asked you before. Have you considered getting a Dao companion?”

Li Changshou replied calmly, “I’m obsessed with the Great Dao, and I don’t care about having a Dao companion. Uncle-Master, after you used the Ambition Pill, how has your relationship been with Aunt-Master Jiu Shi?”

“We’re getting along well, so not bad.” Jiu Wu chuckled. “What’s wrong with having a Dao companion other than the fact that you will have to strain your waist?”.

He continued, “When you are in a difficult situation when you are cultivating, there will be someone encouraging you from the side. If you feel that the path to immortality is lonely, someone will take care of you.

Isn’t it good to have a companion on the immortal path?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I will think about it once I achieve peace on the Immortal Path and once the Great Dao is set. The road ahead of me is a long one. In the rest of my life, I will think about who I will spend the rest of my life with.”

“By then, I’m afraid that there would be no one around you!”

Jiu Wu tried to persuade him unhappily. “The Qi Refinement cultivators are all in pursuit of the Dao of Longevity, but how can the Dao of Longevity be obtained so easily?

Out of ten thousand Qi Refinement cultivators, not even one will achieve it.”

Li Changshou chuckled softly. Just as he was about to turn around and persuade his Uncle-Master Jiu Wu to spend more time on cultivation, his heart suddenly surged.

What is going on today?

Not long after Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao left, General Dongmu came again. Li Changshou said to Jiu Wu, “I’ll cultivate first.” He diverted his attention and returned it to the old paper effigy.

General Dongmu doesn’t seem to be… right today.

This important minister of the Heavenly Courts has dull eyes and weak footsteps. When General Dongmu saw Li Changshou’s paper effigy, he did not greet him, nor did he take the treasure map. Instead, he cupped his hands and sighed. He began to speak of the Jade Emperor’s decree.

The content of the decree was quite simple. It was to reward Li Changshou and hand the matter of the dragon race’s entry to Heaven to Li Changshou.

The rewards that General Dongmu brought this time were very generous. They ranged from precious materials, Spirit Pills, immortal herbs, immortal fruits, and even some precious silk satins. They could be used to decorate his residence and Cave Abode.

Li Changshou bowed towards the Nine-layered Celestial Palace from afar and thanked the Jade Emperor for the reward. Then, he took out two treasure pouches and handed them to General Dongmu.

General Dongmu waved his hand. This time, he did not say anything polite. He just sighed…

“General Dongmu… what happened to you?”

“I-I!”

“I can’t say it!” General Dongmu was speechless. He raised his head and sighed gently.

Li Changshou frowned and said, “Are you bound by the Great Dao oath?”.

“Ah!” Duke Eastwood shook his head and sat on a wooden chair at the side. He raised his head and sighed. “I am a hero! I am a hero!”

Li Changshou’s lips twitched. He frowned and said, “General Dongmu, you don’t have to say anything. If I’m right, don’t speak or move. General Dongmu, did you meet two experts when you came here?” General Dongmu stood still.

Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. A few images appeared in his heart…

The proud General Dongmu was eating hot pot and singing. He was knocked unconscious with a thump. When he woke up, his clothes were in a mess…

Uh, it shouldn’t be this script. Li Changshou stood up and paced back and forth. “Do you have a grudge against the person who attacked you?”

“No grudges.” General Dongmu smiled bitterly. “I can’t mention this matter. They actually did not attack me. But, but… since when did the Primordial World become like this? I didn’t even touch that old man and he just collapsed! He collapsed!”

Boom! Boom!

Sounds of muffled thunder could be heard in the sky. The streets of the Sea God Temple were also filled with people yelling things like “We’ll collect the clothes if it rains” and “The vegetables will be sold cheaply on rainy days.”

General Dongmu quickly shut his mouth. The muffled thunder above his head disappeared.

Li Changshou deliberated over his words and asked, “Do you know those two people, General Dongmu?” “How can I know them? They were obviously not showing their true appearances!”

General Dongmu let out a long sigh. “I can’t continue. If I continue, the Dao oath would be coming for me! Fellow Daoist, you must be careful when you go out! The Primordial World is too complicated. The path is obstructed and slippery! I’m going back to the sky.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Fortunately, General Dongmu did not know the two big shots. Fortunately, they did not attack him.

If not, wouldn’t General Dongmu go to the Jade Emperor and complain to him? In a fit of anger, the Jade Emperor would go to the old Dao Ancestor and complain to him. Wouldn’t the Great God-Conferment Tribulation arrive then?

That Immortal Qiong Xiao was actually more troublesome than Zhao Gongming! Isn’t this just asking for additional karma?

Once the tribulation is over, who will be on the God roll if you don’t?

“General Dongmu! General Dongmu!”

The paper effigy carried the horsetail whisk and chased out of the rear hall of the Sea God Temple. He pulled General Dongmu who was about to fly into the sky, and asked him to keep it. When General Dongmu left, his back view was rather bleak…

As the breeze blew, General Dongmu shuddered and did not dare to continue flying. He turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the South-Heaven Gate.

Li Changshou’s old immortal paper effigy sat in the Sea God Temple and pondered. This matter… I cannot do anything about it. I can only leave them be.

Now, he only wanted to wait for the Three Sects’ Meet to end and return to the Immortal Du Sect. He wanted to burn three incense sticks before the portrait of the Grand Pure One and pay his respects to the Saint.

With the Grand Pure One above him, the Dao Sect would definitely not be led astray by a disciple who had yet to become a Golden Immortal!

Later, he reminded Ao Yi to stay away from the four outer sect disciples. It was too…

At the mention of Ao Yi, Li Changshou could not help but think about it. Zhao Gongming and the others had gone around scamming others, so what effect would it have on the matter of the Dragon race’s entry to Heaven?

There was naturally an effect. If the experts from the Western Sect were to be attacked, they would more or less delay the Western Sect’s schemes against the dragon race.

If Zhao Gongming could scam Daoist Wen, that would be the best thing to do…

However, the possibility was too low.

Li Changshou shook his head and wiped away all the aura in the place. The paper effigy had used the Earth Escape technique and disappeared from the rear hall. He did not forget to leave a fortune for the devotee in charge of tending to the temple.

After making arrangements for the Heavenly Immortal paper effigy, Li Changshou continued to wait for the Three Sects’ Meet to end.

He did not know how long it would take for the conference to end.

A few of the spiritual beasts and spiritual beast seedlings in the spiritual beast enclosure of Little Qiong Peak had died because of Ling’e…

Half a month later, in the Elder Moon Hall of the Heavenly Courts, Elder Moon Hall, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who was dressed in a wide-sleeved white robe, slowly floated over from the Tushita Palace. There was a faint and comfortable smile on his lips.

Elder Moon hurriedly walked out of the main hall and led the two children forward. He bent over slightly to welcome the arrival of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du warmly with sincerity and respect.

After entering the Elder Moon Hall, Elder Moon took the initiative to ask, “Great Daoist Master, are we going to… follow the old rules this time?”

“No.” The Great Daoist Master waved his hand and smiled. “I came here to tell you that you don’t have to do this anymore.”

Elder Moon was stunned. His legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

Elder Moon hurriedly said, “What did I do wrong? Great Daoist Master, if they do not give birth, I would not be able to control them! I can only help them get married! They, they!” “Oh?”

The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Elder Moon, you knew about this long ago?”

“This…” Elder Moon sighed. “Qi Refinement cultivators rarely have thoughts of raising children after becoming husband and wife. I… I… Please forgive me!”

The Great Daoist Master waved his hand and said warmly, “It has nothing to do with you, Elder Moon. My previous thoughts were wrong. Today, I’m here to thank you and apologize to you, Elder Moon. There are some Spirit Pills here. I’ve been troubling you over the years, Elder Moon.”

“I don’t dare to accept it! I am honored to do something for you, Great Daoist Master!”

The Great Daoist Master was about to persuade him when he suddenly frowned. He suddenly had an ominous hunch. It seemed that something related to Ren School had happened.

When Elder Moon saw the Great Daoist Master frown, his old hands trembled slightly. He took the initiative to “snatch” the jade bottles over. His face turned pale…

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du calculated with his fingers and soon smiled. He cupped his hands at Elder Moon and disappeared from the Elder Moon Hall.

“Hmm… I should go and call Little Changshou. I should not appear directly.”
