My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 391 The Conversation With The Grand Pure One

The Shang Nation was about to rise. Would the Great God-Conferment Tribulation be far away?

Due to the fact that he had set up three immortal contracts with the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, Youqin Xuanya’s eldest sister-in-law, Jian Di, had already named her child ‘Qi’. If Li Changshou’s deduction of his memories was correct, ‘Qi’ should be the ancestor of the Shang Kingdom. Next, according to the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, Jian Di would lead the remaining members of the Honglin Kingdom to the northeast of the South Continent and build a new nation there. The Shang Dynasty prospered because of ‘Tang’. ‘Qi’ was the Shang Ancestor, and ‘Tang’ was the descendant of the Shang Dynasty. It was also the next leader of the human race…

Although Li Changshou had only instructed Kong Xuan to protect the new nation for a hundred years, he had heard from Kong Xuan that he should be staying in the new country for a long time.

The Phoenix Clan only had Kong Xuan and the little Peacock. It was naturally very easy for them to move.

Moreover, the phoenix race relied on their bloodline to increase their strength. The filthy aura of mortals could not affect their Dao base. It was not a big deal for them to stay in the mortal world for a few thousand years.

Li Changshou could not help but recall the past…

He was actually so close to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

Initially, he felt that there was no sign of the Shang Nation in the mortal world of the South Continent. It was still the period when the Immortal Dynasty of Xia Country would be in abundance. The immortals of the Middle Continent would project their influence to the South Continent. The ones who controlled the lifeline of the human race were still a small group of human beings who had grasped power. The ones who stood at the highest point of the human race were still the Dao Sect.

From the looks of it, the God-Conferment Tribulation should still be a few thousand years away.

Unexpectedly… Li Changshou had been searching for the prelude to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. At the last moment, he had become a small melody.

That feeling was rather strange. However, at the same time, Li Changshou felt a little melancholic…

He had really become a brick of the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Wherever he needed it, the Heavenly Dao would move it.

Next, he had to start provoking the Heavenly Dao and make some attempts at the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao.

It was better to wait passively than to take the initiative to attack.

Before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation began, Li Changshou wanted the outcome the most. If he could not destroy Lu Ya, no matter what the reason was, it would prove that he could not change the outcome of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. His future goal would be to protect Master Zhao and the Three-Immortal Island. Yes, that was to protect the vitality of the Dao Sect! The face of justice. If he could successfully kill Lu Ya and let Nezha and Ao Bing, who had yet to be born, become brothers… Li Changshou really dared to send the Western Sect onto the God roll and save a group of experts for the Dao Sect!

As for obtaining the position of the legitimate god in the Heavenly Courts, it might affect the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the Western Sect… He could easily resolve this hidden danger by giving the Western Sect a small number of the Deity Positions that were not important. The important Deity Positions would naturally be controlled by the experts of the Dao Sect!

He could trust them.

For example, the “War Gods” of the Eight Main Divisions could be given to the Western Sect. Then, the experts of the Dao Sect would be in charge of managing the War God Deity Positions. Anyway, after the Western Sect was forced to convert to Buddhism, so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas had nothing to do. It would not help the Heavenly Dao’s operation…

In order to reduce the burden on the Dao Ancestor and stabilize the world, it was necessary and meaningful for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to include the Western Sect in the tribulation!

Of course, those were just empty thoughts and the most ideal state.

To be safe, Li Changshou had to consider more “unfavorable” situations.

In other words, he could not make any changes during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Perhaps, all his actions and schemes were pushing the script to move towards the original Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

Li Changshou had no choice but to make his final preparations…

In the original God-Conferment Story, Zhao Gongming had died and the Three Xiao Immortals had set up the Nine Bends Yellow River Array in a fit of anger. They had reduced the cultivation levels of most of the twelve Golden Immortals and attracted the help of the Saints. Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao’s dead souls entered the God roll. Fairy Yun Xiao was swept up by the Cosmic Painting and suppressed under the Qilin Cliff of the Kunlun Mountain.

Indeed, I have to go to Qilin Cliff later to set up some arrangements. I have to develop some friendship with Chan School. It’s best if they owe me a few favors.

When the time came, he could ask someone to help him save Fairy Yun Xiao from the Qilin Cliff.

However…

Li Changshou shifted his attention back to his main body and looked at the Copper Coin of Treasurefall lying quietly in his storage Dharma treasure. How could the God-conferment Tribulation not be changed?

Li Changshou’s Water God incarnation was drinking and chatting with Kong Xuan and Zhao Gongming. The capital city of the Honglin Kingdom fell silent again.

Most of the immortals of the Immortal Du Sect had already returned to the sect. Only a few Heaven Immortals and more than thirty Perfected Immortal executives were in the city to comfort the injured and save the mortals. They also helped Youqin Xuanya settle her funeral matters. With the words of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, the Dao Mini Immortal Sect would not dare to make things difficult for the Honglin Kingdom. They would also take the initiative to restrain the armies of the two tribes to slow down their attacks.

Youqin Xuanya’s mother was reasonable. She did not make any unnecessary requests. She said that it was the greatest blessing to be able to escape death and continue her line of succession…

She only ordered people to bring some treasures from the palace and a few families and thousands of soldiers who were loyal to the Honglin Kingdom. She packed up some of the royal family’s treasures and left the capital overnight. Many mortals in the city followed her out of fear. In the end, more than 100,000 people gathered… Those were the foundation of the Shang Nation. “Senior Brother Changshou?” A soft voice sounded beside his ear. Li Changshou, who had placed most of his attention on the paper effigy of the “Water God” and was discussing how to organize the “Breakup Ceremony” with Zhao Gongming, shifted some of his attention to the vicinity of the palace and slowly opened his eyes. Youqin Xuanya had already changed into her fiery-red dress. She flew over from the sky and landed gracefully in front of Li Changshou. Then, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyebrows. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Li Changshou asked, “What’s wrong? Did you encounter something difficult again?” “No…”

Youqin Xuanya sent a voice transmission. “My family has suffered such a mishap. I want to accompany Mother for a while more. However, Mother asked me to return to the sect immediately and said that I should not be involved with the mortal world…” Li Changshou said. “Your mother is right, your cultivation level is not too high. Your Dao heart is still easily contaminated by the turbid Qi of mortals. It is easy yet difficult to sever ties with the mortal world. If you want to stay in the mortal world for a few years, I’ll help you persuade him.” “No, Senior Brother. I’ll go back to the mountain now that this matter is settled.”

Youqin Xuanya looked at the city where the smoke had temporarily disappeared and muttered, “Later, I will go to the Heavenly Courts to seek an audience with the Water God. I don’t know how I can repay the debt of saving the Water God and Senior Brother’s lives tonight.”

In the previous battle where the Immortal Du Sect ambushed the demons, she knew that the Water God was Li Changshou.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t feel pressured because of this matter. If I encounter trouble tomorrow, it’s enough that you can stand up for me.”

“I will not let Senior Brother down!”

When she said that, her eyes were even brighter than the brightest stars. Li Changshou could sense that Youqin Xuanya’s state of mind tonight was much better than before.

It would be a good thing if she could use this opportunity to transform her Dao heart.

Li Changshou said seriously, “Do you want to go to the Netherworld with me?”

“Should we leave now?”

Youqin Xuanya nodded and agreed without hesitation. Li Changshou slowly opened his left hand and revealed two Soul-Bewitching Pearls. There was some negative karma in one of the Soul-Bewitching Pearls. Youqin Xuanya took a look and shouted, “Father?” Li Changshou said, “Yes. The other dozens of souls are your mother’s guards. They fought desperately previously. Their loyalty is admirable. I know a few friends in the Netherworld. I can help you ask if you can let your father suffer less. There is too much negative karma on him. I don’t know how long he will stay in the eighteen levels of hell.” Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and whispered, “Although I shouldn’t say that for my children, it’s a great blessing for Father to have a soul. Senior Brother, please don’t make things difficult for me.” “Alright.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. He rode a cloud with Youqin Xuanya and left the city that had been in chaos for the entire night.

Li Changshou did not fly fast. His main body had already returned to the Little Qiong Peak. At that moment, he was still left with the “main body” paper effigy. If there was no need, his main body could not stay outside for long. It could reduce the chances of an accident happening. “By the way, did you kill that armored woman?” “Yes.” Youqin Xuanya nodded. Li Changshou asked again, “What’s her identity?” “I didn’t ask,” Youqin Xuanya replied softly. “Oh?”

Li Changshou could not help but feel puzzled. “Don’t you want to know who she is? Why do you want to take revenge for your Youqin Clan? Don’t you want to eliminate her?”

Youqin Xuanya pondered for a while and said softly, “She is Yuan Qing’s cousin. She comes from a wealthy family in a small country and has had feelings for Yuan Qing since she was a child. I recognized her when I took off her mask. Yuan Qing had ulterior motives and deserved to be killed by me. His clan had tried to rebel but was also exterminated by his father. These are all matters of the past and the reason for tonight. If I ask her about her background, the remaining members of the Youqin Clan will carry this hatred… Since that’s the case, why continue?”

Li Changshou was slightly stunned. He looked at the junior sister in front of him whom he was already very familiar with, but now, she seemed a little unfamiliar.

At that moment, the Sun Star stuck its head out of the sea. The first ray of sunlight shone on her body today. Her slender neck, fair skin, and cold face looked tired…

There was a glow that Li Changshou could not understand.

Li Changshou praised in his heart.

His Majesty, who was still in his mother’s womb, was preparing to welcome the mortal world. The Heavenly Courts might have really picked up a treasure this time.

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back. He faced the rising sun in the east and smiled faintly…

The trip to the Netherworld this time was only to arrange for the king of a small country in the mortal world. Li Changshou’s identity as a member of the Immortal Du Sect was enough. Although the journey was peaceful, it was not too peaceful.

When he was traveling with Qin Xuanya, Youqin Xuanya’s tense heart gradually relaxed. She said a few words to him and sat on the cloud with her head lowered, falling asleep. On the other side, after Kong Xuan rushed to protect the Honglin Kingdom, Master Zhao was filled with excitement. He pulled Li Changshou to the Sea God Temple and began to make preparations.

A breakup celebration! Zhao Gongming naturally understood that he had to explain his relationship with his Dao companion, the Goddess of Golden Light as soon as possible.

If he were to leave without saying a word, it would not only affect the reputation of the Goddess of Golden Light, but it would also cause others to misunderstand his character and tarnish the reputation of Jie School! In the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, Zhao Gongming rubbed his hands and kept pacing. “Yes! He had to do this well and invite all the fellow disciples who had peeped previously! Doesn’t this mortal couple have to worship the heavens and earth when they get married? Brother, help me think about how to do the opposite! Also, don’t mortal couples wear wedding robes when they get married? If we can’t, we’ll wear black robes!” Beside him, Li Changshou held his forehead with one hand.

Seeing how excited Master Zhao was, he really thought that Master Zhao had a new lover and could not wait to announce to the world that he and the Goddess of Golden Light were innocent! Of course, Master Zhao would not do that… Bian Zhuang’s personality was developed in the special atmosphere of the World Edge Pavilion. After he went to the Heavenly Courts, he further liberated his nature.

In general, the Qi Refinement cultivators in the Primordial World were very conservative. Most immortals would be shy when they experienced the temporary Love Tribulation.

The dragon race and some demons were exceptions.

After settling the matter with the Goddess of Golden Light, Master Zhao should be able to cultivate in peace and wait for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to arrive… “Brother.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Why don’t you go and discuss with another person? Tell her all your worries and woes honestly. We can’t just do our best. If she doesn’t agree, it will only bring about the opposite effect.” Zhao Gongming’s eyes lit up. “Of course! Brother, wait a moment. I’ll go talk to Junior Sister Jin Guang about this matter and come back to look for you!”

After saying that, Zhao Gongming left in a hurry on his pearl. He did not give Li Changshou any chance to remind him…

“Brother, you can’t be impatient.”

Li Changshou’s incarnation stood up and walked towards the front hall with his horsetail whisk. In the partition between the front hall and the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, he found the Taiji Painting that he had hung previously… Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and placed the real Cosmic Ruler and the Pagoda Master on the table respectfully. A wisp of Dao runes circled around, and the Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and the Cosmic Ruler instantly disappeared… “Teacher!”

Li Changshou suddenly spoke and bowed his head. “I have some doubts. I want to ask you to explain, Teacher!”

The Dao runes that were about to dissipate condensed again. This time, they appeared in Li Changshou’s heart and condensed a word!

“Speak.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. He knew that the Saint should be able to hear his thoughts. Therefore, he asked in his heart, “Have I changed anything since I started cultivating?” “Yes.”

“Have I been influenced by the Heavenly Dao while making certain judgments?” “There is no need to doubt yourself. The Dao has its end.”

Li Changshou was delighted. He bowed deeply to the portrait of the Taiji Painting and said loudly, “Thank you for your guidance, Teacher! I’m at ease!” The Heavenly Courts was of utmost importance.

The Heavenly Courts is of utmost importance?

Li Changshou was just getting excited. He had spoken to the Saint directly and the latter had even agreed to let him call him ‘Teacher’. When he saw the words that he had just condensed, he could not help but freeze on the spot. The Heavenly Courts is of utmost importance… What does that mean?

The Dao runes in his heart had completely dissipated. Li Changshou could not ask further, nor would he ask further. He could only guess blindly. If the Saint had explained everything to him, would he still be the Saint?

It was extremely important. Could it be that I have been mistaken all along? Teacher does not think too highly of the Dao Sect, but he values the Heavenly Courts? There is no need to doubt myself. The Dao has its end. The meaning of those words is not difficult to understand. It should be that the Saint has told him not to worry blindly. The Heavenly Dao cannot affect the judgment of living beings. Otherwise, the Primordial World would not be like this.

The Heavenly Dao only needs to constantly influence the judgment of some key figures at crucial moments. Then, it can gradually bind countless living beings to the world. In this case, the Primordial World will be dead silent. However, the Primordial World will be extremely stable.

After Li Changshou asked those three questions, he felt more confident about plotting against the God Conferment Realm! He could change and plot against the Western Sect. Although it was another matter whether he succeeded or not, there was definitely such a possibility…

However, the Saint used six words to make Li Changshou even more confused.

The Heavenly Courts was of utmost importance.

Therefore…

Even if he had to sacrifice the strength of the Dao Sect to quickly fill the Heavenly Courts and perfect the Heavenly Dao, he would not hesitate.

That interpretation was too scary. Soon, Li Changshou carried his horsetail whisk back to the rear hall of the Sea God Temple and fell into deep thought. Li Changshou thought about it carefully. He seemed to know a lot about the truth of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, but he knew nothing about it… Should I go to Goddess Nuwa’s Palace to investigate? Li Changshou looked at the comics that he had drawn in recent years and could not help but have that thought.

However, his main body and incarnation shuddered.

He really did not want to be imprisoned in that white, cage-like world that was urging him to update.

Right, aren’t there many temples in the mortal world?

As a disciple of the human race, it was reasonable for him to go to Goddess Nuwa’s temple to pay respects and burn a few comic books to pay respects to her. It was flawless.
