My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 372 Life Just Gets Better For Some People

This Major Chiliocosm was similar to all Major Chiliocosms. It was formed from the Primordial World fragments. The figures that met there were not ordinary people. The most eye-catching one was the handsome young Daoist who was riding a green-furred divine beast. Ksitigarbha was in the Spirit Mountain. Before he could speak, a treasure flag slowly rose from behind him.

The treasure flag was blue in color, and there were lotus flowers embroidered on it. When it rose into the sky, it emitted a dazzling golden light. There was also white gas falling, turning the desolate place into a paradise in the blink of an eye.

Green Lotus Flag! “Everyone.” Ksitigarbha smiled and did not bother to make small talk. He said directly, “Are you willing to continue being bullied by Ren School in the Heavenly Courts?”

The surrounding black figures fell silent. The divine beast, Truth Listener, slowly lay down. Green light circulated around its body as it monitored a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

Ksitigarbha sat on Truth Listener’s back and said, “All of you are ancient overlords. Yet, you have been schemed against so miserably by the Heavenly Courts. Your subordinates and even your descendants have died in the Demon Ascension Mountain and become stepping stones for the Heavenly Courts. Are you really willing to endure it? According to what I know, the prince of the demon race had also been seriously injured in the Demon Ascension Mountain. The chances of the demon race’s revival are slim. Do you have any regrets? I don’t want to beat around the bush. I invited all of you here to formally discuss the matter regarding the Heavenly Courts. If anyone has any conditions, you can raise them directly. My Spirit Mountain needs karma. I need to use the name of the demons to settle the feud with the Three Sects of the Dao Sect. Otherwise, it would not be nice to trigger a battle between the Saints.”

In the shadows, a lion spirit wrapped in pitch-black flames spoke in a rough female voice.

“We are risking being targeted by the Saints. What can the Spirit Mountain give us?” “A lotus seed.” Ksitigarbha opened his left hand. A golden lotus seed, which was not in the shape of a rule, flickered gently.

Once the lotus seed was taken out, it emitted a faint obscure Dao rune.

An old ape demon, who was squatting on the ground, pinched his fingers and deduced. He said in a low voice, “What a treasure. The twelfth-grade golden lotus is formed. It can allow the Crown Prince to recover as soon as possible and also allow the Crown Prince’s cultivation to improve.”

“Not enough.”

A demon expert covered in black rocks replied coldly.

Ksitigarbha nodded with a smile. He took out another scroll and pushed it to the old ape.

The old ape carefully opened the scroll. Golden light shone from it. It was a cultivation technique…

Ksitigarbha said calmly, “The ‘Spirit Transformation Heart Repairing Record’ that was lost by the ancient Demon Court can allow the demons to not worry about demonic soldiers anymore. How about that?” The old demons there were still hesitating. The old ape said, “These two treasures are enough for us demons to join forces with your spiritual mountain.”

“Join forces?”

Ksitigarbha turned his head slightly, as if he had heard something wrong. Then, he laughed and produced a golden light in his arms. The golden light expanded rapidly and turned into a four-sided seal that was held in Ksitigarbha’s palm.

The huge seal was engraved with a group of demons. There were six levels on it. The top level was where two Golden Crows spread their wings and cried. The bottom level was where the Kun Peng was supporting them. The ten giant demons raised their heads and roared. The surrounding demons immediately stood up. All of them had solemn expressions and their auras were unstable. The light in their eyes flickered.

Ksitigarbha said leisurely, “What I want is for you demons to obey my orders and not disobey me in this scheme. As long as we reach the last step of the plan, regardless of whether we succeeded or not, the Demon Court’s Heavenly Emperor Seal would be sent to the demons. Everyone, how does it sound?” In the golden light of the treasure flag, the old demons slowly lowered their heads and did not say anything else. Ksitigarbha sat down. When Truth Listener saw this, it yawned in boredom. It could not help but lampoon in Ksitigarbha’s heart. “I spent so much effort to find these two treasures, and you just took them out to gamble. You prodigal master, you might lose everything…” “Quiet.” Ksitigarbha snorted in his heart. “I have seventeen levels of plans for this assassination. I want to see how the Water God will defeat me!

From now on, we have to be dignified!” Truth Listener immediately grinned.

“The information is wrong.” Li Changshou returned to Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect in the night with some regret. After returning to the Little Qiong Peak, he evaporated the alcohol on his body and cleared away the drunkenness that surrounded his essence soul. Didn’t they say that Yun Xiao likes to dance when she drinks too much? This time, he was originally going to watch her dance. In the end, after drinking two jars of immortal wine, she only blushed slightly. Her essence soul could not take it anymore!

This…

Forget it. Perhaps the atmosphere was not perfect. The two of them were not too close…

In a flash, he returned to the alchemy room. Li Changshou’s main body found an excellent spot to hide. The paper effigy, who had been guarding the Pill Furnace, had a flash of inspiration in his eyes.

He shifted his attention away.

He scanned Ling’e, who was cultivating in the straw hut by the lake with his immortal senses.

Clearly, she had benefited greatly from the Steadiness Sutra six thousand times previously. She had taken a huge step forward on the Steadiness Dao! As a senior brother, he would feel touched and feel a sense of accomplishment. Thinking about the fact that he would have to cultivate in the mountains soon, he reckoned that he would not be able to see Fairy Yun Xiao for 180 years. Li Changshou felt a little reluctant… Write a letter every ten years. Although it was troublesome to mail a letter, he could save it and give it to her when they meet again. In the next hundred years, he would spend time studying the Cosmic Escape Technique and the Cosmic Grand Array. He would try to get some Cosmic Dharma treasures that might be useful for sending letters. Primordial Mailbox preliminary concept: Li Changshou planned to use the Cosmic Array Formation to open a small but stable space that was purely for storage and would not need the five elements’ spiritual energy. Then, he would open up two connecting points in the Cosmic storage space and the Primordial World. One would be to the left and the other to the right. From there, he would be able to share the storage space and the function of the mailbox…

Such storage Dharma treasures were very important to his paper effigy system. They could make the usage of resources almost perfect. Li Changshou was not dreaming. He purely relied on his imagination to research Dao techniques. This time, he was actually “standing on the shoulders of the Primordial Giant” to make a reasonable technical extension.

There were roughly two types of storage Dharma treasures in the Primordial World. One of them was more common. He used the Mustard Seed Cosmic Technique and a few complicated restrictions to draw a Dharma treasure that could automatically expand and shrink items.

To be honest, in the current Immortal Du Sect, if three Golden Immortal realm experts gathered and studied for a hundred years, they might not be able to understand the ‘principles’ of the restrictions. However, any Void Return disciple in the sect could engrave these restrictions and refine simple storage pouches.

Li Changshou had read in the ancient books that those few restrictions were said to have been deduced by the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, and a few Primordial mighty figures whose names were unknown. They had gradually spread in the ancient times to benefit the Qi Refinement cultivators…

There was another type of storage Dharma treasure that was more “high-end”. It was a Cosmic Bubble that was created from the void to store items.

The storage Dharma treasures at the back usually had a higher capacity and upper limit. However, the disadvantage was that they were difficult to refine and could not be achieved unless one was an expert. One had to be an expert who was good at Cosmic Dharma spells and above the sixth-stage Golden Immortal…

Li Changshou’s idea was to leave multiple “links” on the foundation of such Dharma treasures. By using this research, he could deepen his understanding of the concept of the universe. He could touch the Great Dao of the universe as soon as possible and improve… The power of the Cosmic Escape technique! After waiting for four hours and refining the pills, Li Changshou stretched his back in front of the Pill Furnace and thought about what pills he should refine next. He did not need to plot against the world and wait quietly for anything to happen. He was so free that he wanted to go into seclusion to cultivate and refine pills…

It was perfect. “It’s rare for me to be so free. Should I expand the spiritual beast enclosure?”

Suddenly. “Brother Sect Master!” I’m sorry. The god you called is not online. *Magi Language* “Brother Sect Master ~”

Ao Yi’s second shout became cautious. He muttered softly, “Are you cultivating?” Li Changshou smiled and connected his spiritual will and opened up a dream. He pulled Ao Yi in. Upon seeing Li Changshou, the little dragon’s eyes lit up. It jumped up and shouted, “Brother, the Dragon Palace has already drafted the list of the first batch of Water Gods from the South Continent! We’ll send them to Anshui City immediately!”

“Oh?”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for this merit for a long time.” Ao Yi smiled and said, “Brother, you must be joking. If I were to covet such merit, I wouldn’t be a dragon today.” Li Changshou was just amused. No one believed the truth these days.

Li Changshou joked with Ao Yi and reminded him to return to the Heavenly Courts as soon as possible. “… In a while, I will promote you to the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Water Army. You will have the same position as Bian Zhuang. The Heavenly River Navy will continue to train the demons in the sea, and it will not be limited to the four seas. His Majesty intends to create the elite troops of the Heavenly Courts. Later, he will recruit a group of experts. The pressure on you and Bian Zhuang might be huge.” Ao Yi cupped his fists and lowered his head. “I will definitely not disappoint you, Sect Master! Later, I will use the Dragon-Suppressing Stone to train myself and enter the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!” Li Changshou felt a little envious when he heard that.

After getting rid of the negative karma, the Ancestral Dragon spoke in a domineering manner. Longevity was just a normal development in their adolescence.

He raised his hand and patted Ao Yi’s shoulder. He looked at the young man who had not grown tall in his human form and the guilt within him…

had already faded. “Go. Remember to remind your father not to be careless. The west side would definitely not be peaceful. They are probably secretly accumulating power and preparing to make a move. They are holding back some bad moves. Moreover, they can tacitly agree that they have already joined forces with the demons. The dragon race is now a subsidiary of the Heavenly Courts. After the Water God position was established, the dragon race would be closely tied to the Heavenly Courts. They might weaken the dragon race and attack the Heavenly Courts’ luck. We have to be wary.” “Yes! I will go and see Father now!” Ao Yi agreed solemnly and gradually faded away in the dream.

Li Changshou was also prepared. He asked the paper effigy to wait in the rear hall of the temple in Anshui City. Soon, he saw dozens of azure dragons flying over from the sky.

Most of the citizens in the city looked up and continued to do their own things. There was basically no reaction.

They were familiar with it.

Not long after, a few ancient battle dragons came over with a blue scroll and handed it to Li Changshou to take a look. Li Changshou opened the scroll and read it carefully. There were hundreds of names on it that corresponded to the positions of the Water Gods. This was the first and the most important batch of Water Gods.

When the Water Gods were placed in their positions, Li Changshou could submit a memorial and let the dragon race be in charge of the “weathering”. He could also let the Heavenly Courts form the first incense offering grid in the South Continent…

Five hundred years was enough for him to take a stable step and plot against the Heavenly Courts! “Alright.” Li Changshou stood up. The old dragons looked at Li Changshou excitedly. The dragon race had gained a foothold in the Primordial World again. It was about to obtain the approval of the world. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Everyone… have you made a backup?” The dozens of experts from the dragon race slipped and hurriedly shook their heads.

“For such an important matter, I have to make at least two copies in the future. I have to make at least three copies of each!”

Li Changshou summoned the desk and slowly opened the scroll. He asked the two experts of the dragon race to copy two copies on the spot… Only then did he nod in relief and follow the dragon experts to the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean had originally wanted to set up a banquet to treat his paper effigy for three days and three nights. Li Changshou naturally rejected it with a smile and invited the Dragon King of the East Ocean to go to the Heavenly Courts with him and present the “memorial” to the Jade Emperor.

Naturally, there were no obstacles in the future.

It was also fortunate that the dragon race did not try to create a Well Dragon King and River Dragon King, thus saving him a lot of trouble.

If the waterways of the South Continent were divided, the “first-tier” rivers would be distributed to the dragon race. Li Changshou had thought about it for a long time. He felt that there were some hidden dangers in doing so.

This time, he took the opportunity to discuss with the Dragon King of the East Ocean. He reserved the “second-class” Water God Position of the most prosperous place in the central region of the South Continent, as a reward for some good people with considerable merit.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean agreed immediately. At the same time, Li Changshou took the opportunity to report to the Jade Emperor what the Phoenix Clan’s Kong Xuan wanted in front of the Dragon King. “The totem of the next human ruler of the South Continent?”

The White-Robed Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Why not? I just didn’t expect that the bloodline of the phoenix race is still active outside. By the way, Ao Guang, do you have a problem with this matter?” “Your Majesty!”

Ao Guang lowered his head and sighed. “The phoenix race and the dragon race were instigated by the demons in ancient times. As a result, they destroyed the Primordial World during the battle. It had been a long time since then. The enemies of the phoenix race who had fought back then had long withered away. How many ancient races were left in this world? Why should there be any more hatred?

Please help the Feng clan, Your Majesty!”

“You’re so magnanimous.” The Jade Emperor praised and winked at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He keenly sensed that the number of days seemed to have changed.

He reckoned that the script of the Heavenly Dao that the Mystic Bird was born with had already officially begun.

However, it was unclear when it happened.

It should not be far.

Li Changshou had also gained some merit from the Water Gods of the South Continent. When his Water God’s decree was officially formed, he officially obtained the third-rank Deity Position in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and became an ordinary god of authority in the Heavenly Courts. The speed at which the dragon race’s Water God’s decree was condensed increased by several times! In the twelfth year after ascending with the Dragon King of the East Ocean, the decree of the Water God of the South Continent was officially issued. The projection of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall appeared everywhere in the South Continent. Countless mortals were frightened. They had just heard the name of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts.

Hundreds of upright and good-looking azure dragons who had been carefully selected appeared in various parts of the South Continent. They went to take on the role of the Water God and began to leave behind rumors about the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race.

Those were the foundations of the Heavenly Courts’ official position. According to the Jade Emperor, the destiny of the Heavenly Courts was even stronger.

Li Changshou, who had just officially become the Water God, had nothing to do. He began his vacation life.

Apart from going to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to participate in the court assembly every once in a while to design the reform plan of the Netherworld, he did not take the initiative to plan anything… Seven years passed quickly. Li Changshou was comprehending the Dao and refining pills in the mountains. He had nothing to do and was itching for a fight. He also drifted to the chess room and participated in a few games between the four of them. He deliberately lost some Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills. In his spare time, he punished his junior sister, teased his Aunt-Master, and studied the Cosmic Dao Technique. He wrote a letter to Fairy Yun Xiao that he could not send out yet…

His days in the mountains were very fulfilling.

However, Li Changshou was increasingly worried recently.

He did not know what the Western Sect was planning, but he felt that he was experiencing the calm before the storm. He could not contact Wen Jing for the time being. He really did not know what dirty tricks the Western Sect was up to. However, Li Changshou was suspecting that Ksitigarbha was definitely hiding in the dark and active. He must have accumulated a huge move to cut off some of the Dao Sect’s blood…

The part that was most prone to trouble was obviously the demons. Li Changshou looked relaxed, but in fact, he did not forget to fill up his paper effigy army. He also used the fake Golden Core Great Dao to replenish the Golden Immortal paper effigies that he had lost previously. “Don’t forget to fight at all times. Be prepared to fight at all times. Only then can you be fearless.” During that period of time, Li Changshou began to plan to change the name of the Sea God Temple to the Water God Temple and develop the temple in the trichiliocosm.

It was not purely to accumulate merit, although that was the main goal. When the Sea God Temple could take root in the trichiliocosm, it could help the Heavenly Courts find more places for soldiers. That was also a small part of the Heavenly Courts’ plan to rise. However, those Divine Envoys were obviously not enough.

The Magihumans were not very fertile. As they were not good at flying, they seemed inferior when managing the temples that spread over thousands of kilometers.

Next, he had to find a group of smart Divine Envoys. It would be best if they were strong enough and did not have second thoughts.

Magi?

That could be considered. However, it was also a problem for the Magi to not be able to leave the North Continent. Moreover, their intelligence was debatable.

While thinking about that, Li Changshou unlocked a new skill for his Magihumans and Divine Envoys and displayed it at the Sea God Ceremony that he had recently held. Dozens of burly men who could run horses on their arms sang a tune that flowed to the east of the river.

The effect was quite explosive. Many immortals from the three sects who went to attend the ceremony expressed that their essence souls were about to split open.

Just like that, twenty years passed slowly after he met Fairy Yun Xiao…

During that period, Li Changshou’s mind was on Li Jing. He secretly drew a few “young men” who paid attention to “familial love” and “growth” and sent them to Li Changshou in the form of a book. He had read three hundred poems of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he did not know how to compose poems, he knew how to recite them. Thanks to the help of the Saint Nuwa, Li Changshou’s control of the storyline, script, and emotions had reached the level of an amateur master. It was not difficult for him to create some pieces.

However, what made Li Changshou find very strange was…

After Li Jing finished reading the two thick books and circulated them in the sect for a few months, they strangely disappeared!

The self-destructing restrictions that he had secretly set up did not react at all!

The female disciple who had just borrowed the two books cried out in fear. After all, the two thick paintings were already treasures of the Immortal Du Sect.

‘Goddess Nuwa has stepped in?’

Li Changshou felt that that was the only possibility. When he realized that there was a small amount of Nine Heaven Life-soil on the desk in the secret underground chamber, he did not bother about it anymore. One day, Li Changshou was thinking about how to write the second letter to Fairy Yun Xiao. His heart skipped a beat, and his spiritual will rippled.

He closed his eyes and heard many mortals crying and shouting. He sent his spiritual will out and saw that the cities at the border of the South Continent were surrounded by flames. Demonic aura surged!

It’s coming.

Li Changshou squinted his eyes slightly. The paper effigy army immediately rushed to save and eliminate the demons. At the South-Heaven Gate of the Heavenly Courts, the war drums sounded loudly!

Yes, stable.

He immediately went to see the black leopard and drank some wine with him so that he could… pray for the demons.
