My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 594: Entering the Purple Cloud Palace Again

At the East Heaven Gate, Li Changshou sat on the Golden Roc and hurriedly returned. He directly revealed the Water God Divine Power Treasure that could not be faked.

The Heavenly Generals were stunned at first before they walked forward to welcome him.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing!”

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, you’re finally back!”

“Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing!”

The scene was a little chaotic, but Li Changshou did not reply. His expression was tense. He nodded at the Heavenly Generals and flashed into the East Heaven Gate.

Due to the fact that the Dao Ancestor had sent an “interrogation” invitation, Li Changshou did not dare to delay. He could only hurriedly bid farewell to Yun Xiao.

Master Zhao saw Li Changshou’s anxious expression and did not ask further. He only agreed to drink with him later and went to the Three-Immortal Island to take a look.

He naturally could not tell Yun Xiao that the Dao Ancestor had invited him to the Purple Cloud Palace to teach him a lesson, lest she was worried.

After all, Yun Xiao knew a lot of things and even knew about Senior Lang’s existence.

After entering the East Heaven Gate, Li Changshou did not conceal his aura. Instead, he took the initiative to spread his Dao runes and swaggered towards the sky.

He would fly as fast as he could.

He would cause as much commotion as he could.

From the deepest part of the Nine Heavens, one could find the path to the Purple Cloud Palace.

The premise was that Purple Cloud Palace wanted to be found.

Li Changshou’s figure turned into a white comet that soared into the deepest part of the Imperial Court!

It was filled with urgency.

When he decided to let Kun Peng swallow the Primordial Violet Qi, Li Changshou had already thought of various subsequent situations.

It was a taboo to be stable.

That made Li Changshou determined to resist the will of the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Dao at that moment. The main reason he did not accept the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi was that he was sure that he would not be killed by the Heavenly Dao because he rejected the purple gas.

The reason was very complicated. It could be simply understood as—

He was still useful.

Therefore, Li Changshou had already understood that after he dealt with the Primordial Violet Qi and Kun Peng and returned to the Primordial World, he would most likely suffer a wave of punishment.

The most serious situation was actually the descent of the Heavenly Punishment. The Dao Ancestor did not give him any hints and severely injured him as a warning.

The Dao Ancestor seemed to be angry when the Purple Cloud Palace summoned him this time. However, the two sentences gave him enough room to maneuver.

The Dao Ancestor was implying that he had to find a suitable reason to make everyone feel better.

Rejecting the Primordial Violet Qi was equivalent to rejecting the Heavenly Dao.

In the current Primordial World, the nature of this matter could be very bad. It could also be reduced to a small matter and ultimately be left unsettled.

If he could not give a satisfactory answer to the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor today, his subsequent plans would be affected.

That was not a game, but Li Changshou’s choice.

Li Changshou naturally did not think that he was qualified to compete with the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor. He was still far inferior in all aspects.

As he flew to the Nine Heavens, Li Changshou suddenly realized.

The message contained in the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi was that the Dao Ancestor had probably added it to the Primordial Violet Qi the moment Kun Peng swallowed him and the Primordial Violet Qi.

Is this a warning for me?

Li Changshou could not be sure of the exact details. He could only see the intensity of the Dao Ancestor’s punishment and the words he said to himself.

Um…

It was best not to let the matter of the Heavenly Punishment whipping his buttocks blow up. This time, he should go to the Purple Cloud Palace himself and not have to call others.

“Changgeng!”

A shout suddenly sounded beside his ear. Li Changshou stopped and turned around. He saw the Jade Emperor’s incarnation riding a cloud from the side. There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Clearly, Quan Dong really understood this time.

That place was misty and there was no one around. Li Changshou bowed and smiled. “Why are you here?”

“Of course I’m waiting for you.” Quan Dong looked serious and took the initiative to ask, “Do you need me to accompany you to the Purple Cloud Palace?”

After saying that, Quan Dong gave Li Changshou a look.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Grandmaster is summoning us. He should only be lecturing us. Your Majesty, don’t worry. Ah, I was too anxious back then. I did not expect the Primordial Violet Qi to suddenly appear. At that time, I was in a hurry to appear and chase after it. Instead, I almost let Kun Peng go. In the end, I had no choice. I could not extract the Primordial Violet Qi from Kun Peng’s essence soul. I was careless.”

“That’s good too.”

Quan Dong smiled and said, “When you reach the Purple Cloud Palace, admit your mistake. The Dao Ancestor will naturally not stoop to your level. Now, the Heavenly Courts are facing trouble everywhere. I can’t do without you. Go early and return early. Don’t contradict the Dao Ancestor.”

How could Li Changshou not know that the Jade Emperor was expressing his attitude to the Dao Ancestor for his sake?

Li Changshou felt warm in his heart. He bowed to Quan Dong and bowed deeply. Then, he turned around and continued to walk away.

This body might not be tolerated in this world, but it was enough to obtain a few fellow Daoists.

Quan Dong looked up and stared at Li Changshou’s back. Then, he sighed and returned to the Heavenly Palace.

At the same time, Yun Xiao stood on a beach on the Immortal Island.

She, who had already changed into her long dress, folded the Daoist robe and placed it on her arm. She quietly looked at the sky in the northwest direction.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Behind her, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, and a few fairies who were cultivating on the island were arranging the wine and immortal fruits to welcome her.

“Brother.” Qiong Xiao raised her hand and knocked Zhao Gongming’s arm. She asked via voice transmission, “What happened to Sister?”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. He smiled and said, “He should be thinking about someone. After all, we have only been together for decades. It’s normal for us to be uncomfortable when we suddenly separate.”

Qiong Xiao frowned when she heard that. She, who was kneeling on the meditation cushion, looked worried.

“Brother, tell me…”

“What?”

Qiong Xiao asked via voice transmission, “Sister has married into the Grand White Palace. Will Fourth Sister and I go there together?”

“Well…” Zhao Gongming found it difficult to answer at that moment. “I’ll see how you discuss it. However, that should be after the Great Tribulation. At that time, you can go wherever you want. You won’t be as restrained as you are now.”

“Ah, I hope so.”

Qiong Xiao smacked her lips. “Anyway, I don’t want to go. I don’t want to be gossiped about.”

Zhao Gongming chuckled and did not say anything else.

Bi Xiao called softly from the side. Yun Xiao turned around and floated over. Her expression had returned to its usual coldness.

However, Zhao Gongming and the others did not know if it was an illusion, but Yun Xiao seemed to be more gentle than usual. Her eyes were watery and she spoke more than usual. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were impressed.

The topic of immortals naturally could not avoid the current tribulation.

Yun Xiao specially instructed the fairies on the island not to go out for the next few hundred years. If they had a sudden impulse and had the intention to go out, it might be because of the calamity.

The fairies naturally agreed. Whether they listened or not was something for later.

Han Zhi sighed and said, “I wonder if my master’s reincarnation will be affected by the Great Tribulation.”

“That black leopard?”

Qiong Xiao placed the luminous cup beside her face and smiled. “The calamity this time is about intercepting, Chan, and the Western Sect. It naturally has nothing to do with him.

Don’t think too much. Reincarnation is no longer an old person.”

“Yes.” Han Zhi agreed, but she still missed him.

“By the way, Brother.” Qiong Xiao casually threw up a grape and accurately caught it with her mouth. She said casually, “A few years ago, Senior Sister Jin Ling seemed to have taken in a disciple called Wen or something. She brought him to the Green Touring Palace to train him.”

“Oh?”

Zhao Gongming smiled and asked, “Male or female?”

“I heard that male disciples are quite handsome.”

Teng!

Zhao Gongming’s figure disappeared instantly. He said that he was going to Green Touring Palace to visit his master and left behind Cosmic Wave Marks.

Qiong Xiao blinked and muttered, “Are all disciples so guarded?”

Yun Xiao pondered for a while and said, “Brother doesn’t have much confidence. Perhaps it has something to do with Senior Sister Jin Ling’s unwillingness to talk about them openly.”‘

Bi Xiao whispered, “Let Chang, Geng, Teacher, come up with ideas. Junior Brother Changgeng has so many ideas.”

“He’s probably going to deal with a difficult problem now.” Yun Xiao looked at the sky. “Let’s plan this matter. Don’t disturb him. I’ll talk to Senior Sister Jin Ling later and find out what she’s worried about. Alright, don’t say that behind my back. Have you gained anything from your cultivation recently?”

Great Fairy Yun Xiao took the opportunity to turn into a stern teacher. The corners of the two little fairies’ mouths turned into bitter expressions. They complained a little and began to show the results of their recent cultivation.

The joys and sorrows of living beings are reasonable. The joys and sorrows of the world are different.

Apart from homework, it was all about life.

…

In the sky, in the Purple Cloud Palace.

A stream of light flew out of the dense cloud below the Purple Cloud Palace and transformed into Li Changshou’s original appearance. He carried his Daoist robe and walked up the stairs in front of the hall.

His face was red and his forehead was covered in sweat. His eyes were filled with anxiety.

Before he arrived in front of the hall, he had already lowered his head, closed his eyes, and cleared his throat. Only then did he quickly run over and rush into the empty hall of the Purple Cloud Palace.

“I, Li Changshou, am here to ask for punishment!”

His voice echoed in the hall. The figure behind the door stood quietly and maintained a Dao salute.

He stood there for six hours.

Cold sweat seeped out of Li Changshou’s forehead. The cold sweat evaporated by him.

His Adam’s apple trembled irregularly, as if there was a ferocious beast that could take his life at any time.

He was a little too nervous. There were no signs of him performing.

A cold laugh came from the front. “Why? Has Lord Taibai Jinxing become a block of wood? Why are you standing there?”

Li Changshou hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands. “Grandmaster, I don’t dare to go forward without summoning you.”

“You don’t dare?”

There was a hint of anger in his voice. He scolded, “What else do you not dare to do!?!”

Li Changshou’s legs went weak. He knelt on the floor that was filled with starlight and hidden Dao marks. He did not say a word.

In the hall, on the Dao Ancestor’s special large meditation cushion, the burly old Daoist priest slowly “grew” out of the streams of light. He cursed angrily,

“If you don’t like the Primordial Violet Qi I gave you, you can find a Dao Sect disciple to accept it.

You even tried your best to transfer it to Kun Peng!

Do you think I don’t know what Kun Peng is?”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I never had such thoughts! When Kun Peng attacked that day, I suddenly saw the wisp of true Primordial Violet Qi and lost my composure. The Primordial Violet Qi is very important. It is an opportunity to become a Saint, an opportunity for living beings to transcend. I was afraid that it would be snatched away by the Fiend Ancestor, so I put the matter of Kun Peng aside! In order to kill Kun Peng, I had already invited Aunt-Master Tongtian. At that time, in order to protect that wisp of Primordial Violet Qi, I had even violated the promise made by Aunt-Master Saint!”

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun fell silent. He stared at Li Changshou, who was kneeling in front of the hall.

“Have you really never schemed like this?”

“Grandmaster, you are wise.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “You know my temperament. I have to plan before I act. If I’m not confident, I will definitely not attack. At that time, for some reason, the Primordial Violet Qi suddenly appeared at about the same time as the fake one that I had designed. I admitted my mistake at first. It was only when the Jade Emperor’s incarnation reminded me that I realized. At that time, I did not think much about it. I hurriedly took action to protect the few opportunities to become a Saint in the world. This should be the opportunity of our Dao Sect. If those mighty figures snatch it, how extraordinary would that be?”

“Hah.”

The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, “Do you mean that I should reward you?”

“I don’t dare to ask for a reward!”

Li Changshou lowered his head again and said loudly, “I only did what a disciple of the Dao Sect should do. There are no disciples without the Dao Sect!”

“In that case, let me ask you again.” The Dao Ancestor’s aura intensified. “Why didn’t you kill Kun Peng when you could?”

“This, this…

It’s because I previously promised the Grandmaster of Heaven that I would ask him to stop Kun Peng. The condition is that Kun Peng is not killed first and that Uncle-Master can play with it. ”

“Then why do you insist on asking the Grandmaster of Heaven to help? Could it be that you intend to spare Kun Peng’s life?”

“Grandmaster, you are wise. Without the help of Uncle-Master, I don’t even have a ninety-seven percent confidence in the entire plan.

Only when Uncle-Master attacks will I have a 98% chance of trapping Kun Peng!”

“Huh?”

Li Changshou felt a flash of light in front of him. He looked up and saw the Dao Ancestor standing in front of him with a gloomy expression.

This time, he really shivered.

“Kid, repeat what you said just now.”

“Only when the Grandmaster of Heaven takes action will I have 98 %…”

Crack!

Purple lightning surged, and the entire Purple Cloud Palace was filled with lightning. The three thousand Great Dao trembled slightly.

A moment later, Li Changshou lay on the ground, charred. His face was pressed against the smooth ground of the Purple Cloud Palace. He opened his mouth and spat out a small white essence soul with a few screws on the top of his head.

The Dao Ancestor sat back on his meditation cushion and looked at Li Changshou, who was in front of the hall, happily. He even hummed a happy tune.

“It doesn’t feel good to split people, but it’s different for you. Come over. You’ve dealt with this matter.”

Li Changshou jumped up and grinned at the Dao Ancestor. His face was sullen and his pearly whites were revealed, making him look even more honest.

“Thank you for your magnanimity, Grandmaster. You forgave me for the Primordial Violet Qi.”

The Dao Ancestor snorted and said coldly, “This matter is not over yet. Why didn’t you bring Kun Peng back to the Primordial World?”

“I was mainly worried about the image of the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Kun Peng is an ancient ferocious beast. Everyone has to kill it. If Kun Peng returns to the Three Realms to serve the Heavenly Courts or is rumored to have been subdued by me, the reputation of the Heavenly Courts will probably collapse.”

“The reputation of the Heavenly Courts?”

The Dao Ancestor said coldly, “I think you have obtained some benefits from your fellow countryman and used Kun Peng as a backup plan.”

“This…”

Thoughts raced through Li Changshou’s mind. He lowered his head and said, “Grandmaster, don’t blame me. I’m just like that. I’m afraid of death to a certain extent.”

“So you know!”

“I naturally know that.” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Grandmaster, don’t worry. I will definitely stand firmly on the Heavenly Courts’ side and not be affected by other people’s words.”

“Actually, it’s fine.” The Dao Ancestor looked a little lonely. He said calmly, “When your fellow countryman was destroyed back then, I saw his memories and knew what he had left behind. I thought that he would leave the Primordial World with Kun Peng when he knew that he would definitely lose. I did not expect… I’m finally back. ”

Li Changshou did not reply and just stood quietly.

The Dao Ancestor asked, “Changgeng, how much do you know about this?”

“Well, actually, I don’t know much. I can roughly guess some corners.”

Li Changshou wiped his face and said seriously, “The past is the past. Learning history is to learn lessons from history, not to laugh at the ancient people to satisfy their so-called vanity. Grandmaster, from the clues left behind by that senior, I can tell that he knew that he was crazy and wrong back then.”

“There is no right or wrong in the world. It’s just that everyone has different desires.”

The Dao Ancestor sighed softly and looked at Li Changshou.

The charred blackness around Li Changshou’s body faded away, and the damage to his Daoist robe recovered on its own.

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said slowly, “I actually have my own selfish desires. The Pangu God had once said that if I want to transcend, I have to give up on myself. Therefore, after the Pangu God returned to the world, I was already in a realm without anything. It could be considered transcendence. Changgeng, I… I know that you have your own opinions and thoughts. However, there are only a few steps left to establish a stable order in this world. You are the most suitable candidate. You don’t have to feel burdened or think about it. I can give you a promise. When you assist the Heavenly Courts in establishing the order of the Three Realms, I can allow you to be unrestrained if you want to be carefree in the world. I’m most satisfied with your self-discipline and self-love. If you want to embark on the path to find your hometown or avoid the world to cultivate, I will also remind Hao Tian not to keep you behind.”

“What do you think?”

Li Changshou deliberately froze. Then, he looked happy and bowed deeply.

“Thank you for your kindness, Grandmaster! I really don’t know how to repay you!”

“Alright, don’t be so hypocritical.” Dao Ancestor Hong Jun waved his hand. “Remember what I told you previously. Go back.

The wisp of Primordial Violet Qi was swallowed by Kun Peng. The ninth Primordial Violet Qi is not in my hands. I can’t give it to you even if I want to.

Help the Heavenly Courts and complete the God-Conferment matter.”

“Okay!”

Li Changshou agreed and bowed. He lowered his head and took more than ten steps back before turning around and walking towards the door.

After walking hundreds of steps, the door of the hall was already in front of him. Li Changshou suddenly heard a shout behind him.

“Changgeng, do I look like that in your heart?”

Li Changshou subconsciously turned his head and his Dao heart trembled.

He saw the Dao Ancestor sitting on the meditation cushion with a faint sneer on his lips. His face was gloomy and cold. The cold glint in his eyes seemed to be able to pierce through a person’s Dao heart.

Li Changshou pursed his lips and whispered, “Grandmaster, you scared me.”

“Go.” The Dao Ancestor wiped his face. His cold expression disappeared and he restored his usual vigor and demeanor. “Don’t think too much.”

“Yes.”

Li Changshou lowered his head and walked out of the main hall of the Purple Cloud Palace. His eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly looked frightened. He lowered his head and walked down the stairs.
