Chapter 335 Losing but Not Getting Outnumbered!
Is this the legendary Great Daoist Master Xuan Du? Ling’e used her immortal senses to investigate, but there was nothing in front of her. It was as if the figure that could be seen with the naked eye did not exist…
Just this “peculiarity” was far from what his Sect Leader could compare to! Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Don’t be stunned. Come and do a Dao salute.” Ling’e hurriedly walked forward and followed behind her senior brother. She bowed to the person who came.
Li Changshou continued, “Great Daoist Master, this matter has indeed alarmed you. I have yet to deal with it. Please forgive me, Great Daoist Master!” Ling’e blinked and stood at the side, not daring to speak. She secretly observed. Has Senior Brother’s personality changed? Why did he suddenly take responsibility? This is not Senior Brother’s style.
Ling’e looked at the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du again and felt that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had a unique aura. At first, she felt that he was ordinary, but after thinking about it, she did not feel anything. Actually if I look carefully at Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, he looks decent but at the end of the day…
He is still not as handsome as Senior Brother.
The Great Daoist Master sat on the chair that Li Changshou had just sat on. His posture was relaxed, and his smile was tranquil.
“Those rumors are just a small matter.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled. “They pa.s.sed by like the wind. Why should I pay attention to them? In ancient times, there were many living beings who said that I was Teacher’s son. There are many people in the world. Why argue with them? I’m free and unfettered. Why should I be afraid of gossip and rumors?” Li Changshou smiled and sighed. “You’re so open-minded!”
Staying at the side, Ling’e understood something. She thought that her senior brother had changed. She did not expect that… her senior brother had figured out this expert’s personality! The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Ling’e has also reached the Heaven Immortal realm. Her comprehension is not bad.” Li Changshou said, “It’s all thanks to you, Great Daoist Master.” He said to Ling’e, “When you were in seclusion and ascending, the Great Daoist Master helped you. Hurry and thank him.” “Yes.” Ling’e bowed. “Thank you for your guidance, Great Daoist Master.”
“Okay.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du nodded with a smile.
Li Changshou said, “Ling’e, quickly go and make a few dishes that you’re good at. It’s rare for the Great Daoist Master to come here. Let the Great Daoist Master try your cooking.” “Yes.” Ling’e lowered her head and left quickly. The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows at Li Changshou. There was a hint of mischief in his eyes. He smiled and said, “Why don’t you call everyone over to take a look at your flouris.h.i.+ng marriage affinity?”
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Great Daoist Master, I’m focused on cultivation…”
“I’ve heard about Junior Sister Yun Xiao in the peach blossom forest.” “Well,” Li Changshou said seriously, “I want to ask you about Fairy Yun Xiao, Great Daoist Master. What did you do?”
The Great Daoist Master shrugged. “I only asked her to use the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice to help you transcend the tribulation. I just gave her a portrait of you. I did not do anything else.” “Then… why…” Li Changshou frowned.
“Ah, don’t think too much.” The Great Daoist Master waved his hand. “Elder Moon can’t explain things like marriage. You’re calm and handsome. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for Junior Sister Yun Xiao to admire you? Since ancient times, although there are many talented people, there are not many who are as steady as you. Perhaps, Junior Sister Yun Xiao is attracted to you.”
“Buck up and work hard. I will do my best to help you on this matter. I will strive for the day when you become a great mystical ability user. We will have two more great mystical abilities!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Change the topic, change the topic. If I continue to talk, the Great Daoist Master might be able to pull the Grand Supreme Elder out! Li Changshou asked, “Has the Great Daoist Master been alarmed by the West Ocean?” “That’s right.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned slightly and gestured for Li Changshou to sit down. He said, “The dragon race has just submitted to the Heavenly Courts. If the dragon race is seriously injured, the Heavenly Courts will be implicated. We have to be wary. How’s your preparation going?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Previously, I was only 60% to 70% confident. After you arrived, Great Daoist Master, I am 90% confident.” “Oh?” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Tell me in detail.”
“The West Ocean Dragon Palace seems to be at the center of the vortex, but that’s not the case,” Li Changshou said. “The West Ocean Dragon Palace has been infiltrated too severely. The location of the West Ocean Eye is completely under the control of the Western Sect. According to my observations during this period, the Western Sect intends to use the Sea Eye to force the Dragon Palace to extort them. They want to bring the West Ocean Dragon race under the rule of the spiritual mountain.” The Great Daoist Master nodded slowly and said, “Logically speaking, it’s already considered perfect if the Heavenly Courts can obtain seventy to eighty percent of the dragon race in the game against the Western Sect. However, if we ignore the West Ocean Dragon Palace, what difference does it have with the Western Sect?”
“Great Daoist Master, you’re right.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Therefore, in terms of righteousness, the dragon race is now a subordinate of the Heavenly Courts. Previously, I had reported to the Jade Emperor that His Majesty wanted to use the power of the Heavenly Courts to protect the dragon race’s essence energy and not damage it to show the grat.i.tude of the Heavenly Courts.”
“Moreover, the Dragon Kings of the East Ocean, South Ocean, and North Ocean had already contacted each other. The dragon race would also do their best to deal with the Western Sect. Half a month ago, there were also people from the Western Sect who went to the Sea G.o.d Temple.” “Oh? What did they say?” Li Changshou pursed his lips and muttered softly, “The Western Sect is already shameless. They rely on one sect and two saints for confidence to tell me that they have been plotting against the dragon race for a long time. They can’t lose everything. They even told us to give in this time so that we will be amicable with each other when we meet again in the future.”
“Hahahaha!”
The Great Daoist Master immediately clapped and laughed. “These guys are still the same as they used to be in ancient times. They have not improved at all. I’m here to help the dragon race survive this calamity. The Ren School will help the dragon ascend to the Heavenly Courts. At this moment, we can’t sit back and do nothing. Changshou, do you need me to go to the West Ocean Eye?” “Great Daoist Master, you are testing me again.” Li Changshou deliberated over his words and said, “The Western Sect might try to mislead us. I have already suggested that we let the four Dragon Palaces retract their troops. We cannot let our guard down anywhere at all. According to the current situation, the North Ocean is the most likely to be in trouble. To put it bluntly, if something happens to the Eye of the West Ocean, the ones who will have to end up filling the eye will naturally be the dragons of the West Ocean. Wouldn’t that be a loss to their own strength?” The Great Daoist Master could not help but squint and smile. “That’s right. You should be thinking that way. Changshou, what arrangements did you make?” “I didn’t do much. I only gave the dragon race some advice.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The dragon race came from the ancient times. They are not easy to deal with. Actually, I don’t need to give them any instructions.”
The Great Daoist Master sniffed gently and his eyes lit up. “Your junior sister’s culinary skills are not bad. She’s much better than you at roasting fish.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile. Naturally, he would not say things like “I taught her those skills”. Anyone who showed off would be pressed down. He continued, “I will report the matter regarding the dragon race to you in detail later. After I finish talking about the dragon race, I have two things that I need your help with.” “Hahaha, are you going to talk about this little suggestion of yours for three days and three nights?” Li Changshou thought for a while and said seriously, “Half a day is enough.” The Great Daoist Master was speechless.
It’s really just some advice.
The Great Daoist Master only smiled and dismissed the rumors. That made Li Changshou admire the Great Daoist Master even more.
He could only say that that man was indeed worthy of being the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect! A person like that could no longer be considered as an ordinary person. If someone were to spread rumors about Li Changshou, he would definitely…
He was secretly stingy. There was a distinguished guest on the Little Qiong Peak today, but Li Changshou did not dare to rashly ask his master and Aunt-Master to visit him.
Ling’e made a few dishes that she was good at. Li Changshou took out the wine that he had brewed. The Great Daoist Master asked about the dragon race and found a good topic for the conversation.
The big and small sorcerers drank and drank together. It was a sumptuous feast. Ling’e was pouring wine and replenis.h.i.+ng the food at the side. She did not hear him and kept his words to herself.
Ling’e was feeling happy. She could clearly sense that her senior brother’s att.i.tude towards her had changed after she transcended the tribulation and ascended.
At the very least, her Senior Brother no longer treated her as a child who had yet to grow up. Today, the Sect Leader and the Great Daoist Master appeared. Her Senior Brother also deliberately let her listen by the side…
She felt that her senior brother might be nurturing a human Dharma treasure who could work more in the future.
However, she failed to live up to expectations. Her heart was filled with joy, and her steps became lighter.
When Ling’e heard Li Changshou say that, “Although the two Saints of the Western Sect are unlikely to attack directly, I don’t dare to guess the abilities of the Saints. I have to consider this carefully. If we want the four seas to be peaceful, we have to make the Western Sect suffer this time. We have to make them feel that extorting the dragon race’s gains does not match their own losses. They will naturally have more considerations in the future.”
Saint…
Senior Brother’s troublesome personality seems to be quite impressive when it comes to matters other than love. At nighttime half a day later, Li Changshou handed a jade token to Ling’e in front of the straw hut. “Junior Sister, I will follow the Great Daoist Master out for a while. Remember to keep a close eye on everything in the sect. This is the control jade token for the array formations around the Pill Chamber. My paper effigy is in the Pill Chamber. You will be watching this time. I will not be distracted in the
sect.”
“Yes! Don’t worry, Senior Brother!”
Ling’e’s eyes were filled with worry. She grabbed the jade token and said softly, “Senior Brother, please be careful when you go out. Don’t take risks easily. Don’t forget what you taught me.”
“You’re lecturing me.” Li Changshou raised his hand. He was about to rub her head habitually, but he stopped above her head. Forget it, she’s already a Heaven Immortal. It’s better not to… Ling’e tiptoed and rubbed her head against his palm.
“I will be good.”
“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and hit her forehead gently. He turned around and walked towards the Great Daoist Master who was looking up at the sky under the willow tree.
Then, the Great Daoist Master’s wide robe fluttered gently. Ling’e watched her senior brother’s back gradually turn blur and dissipate with the wind.
On the endless snow-white surface of the North Ocean, the Great Daoist Master rode a cloud and flew across the icy plain with Li Changshou. There was a Cosmic Mark hidden in the North Ocean Eye.
That would ensure that even if the place was sealed and the universe was shaken, the Great Daoist Master could still rush over in time with the Taiji Painting
“Changshou, don’t you need me to do two things? What exactly are they?”
“I want to move the Water G.o.d Residence to the vicinity of the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace and then move the Little Qiong Peak to the Water G.o.d Residence.” Li Changshou smiled guiltily. “This time, I have to trouble you to firstly ask the Grand Supreme Elder to please agree to this matter. Secondly, I need your help to build a Cosmic Mustard Array and turn the Little Qiong Peak into a fake mountain.”
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “That’s a good thing. Don’t worry and just do it. Why would the Grand Supreme Elder chase you away? As for the Mustard Array, I’ll make a array diagram for you later. You can figure it out yourself. It can be considered as teaching you the Dao of array formations.”
Li Changshou could not help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly bowed and said, “Thank you, Great Daoist Master!”
“Alright, although it’s too early for you to call me Senior Brother, you don’t have to be so polite.”
The Great Daoist Master placed his hands behind his back and smiled. “Once your cultivation level improves, I will be able to return in peace. I will cultivate in Xuandu freely.” Li Changshou asked, “Great Daoist Master, where is Xuandu exactly? I’ve checked many ancient books, but there are very few records about that.” “Xuandu.” There was a hint of nostalgia in the Great Daoist Master’s eyes. “The Xuandu City was built in the ancient times and it floated in the Chaotic Sea. Later, it prospered because of the Dao Ancestor’s Dao preaching in the Purple Cloud Palace.”
He continued, “However, after the Great Magi-Demon Tribulation arrived, countless experts died. Fewer and fewer people knew where the Xuandu City was. In the end, no one cared about it and it declined. Back then, when I had just entered the Golden Immortal realm, Teacher had thrown me into Xuandu City and asked me to spar with 300 experts to cultivate my mystical abilities for fights. At that time, I was beaten up by those experts.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “How can success come without hard work and experience?”
The Great Daoist Master raised his eyebrows. “Later, I beat him up twice. Hahahahaha!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Just as he was about to lampoon the Great Daoist Master, the Great Daoist Master had already brought him to the West Ocean Eye and buried the Cosmic Mark in the sky.
The so-called Cosmic Mark was actually a wisp of the power of the Taiji Painting.
According to Li Changshou’s current understanding, the power of the Taiji Painting was concentrated on the ‘universe’.
The power of the Pangu Banner was focused on sharpness.
The Chaos Bell that was later renamed as the East Emperor Bell was mainly focused on “time”… Among the three, the Taiji Painting was the most defensive. The Pangu Banner was the most murderous, and the Chaos Bell was the most mysterious. The Great Daoist Master buried a wisp of the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting in the eye of the Four Seas. Then, he brought Li Changshou to the Sea G.o.d Temple to wait for a good show.
At that moment, the situation in the West Ocean was about to explode. The dragon race and the Western Sect were waiting for someone to attack first. This time, the attack would definitely be extremely powerful.
There was a limit to what Li Changshou could do. He could only..
He prepared a few paper effigies and a few Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Arrays. As soon as he returned to the rear hall of the Sea G.o.d Temple, the Great Daoist Master exclaimed softly before he could take a seat. “Great Daoist Master, what’s wrong?”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and did not say anything. He held up the image of the Taiji Painting in his left hand. The image dissipated into a cloud and revealed the scene.
A fairy in white stood on the cloud and floated above the peach blossom forest. She pinched her fingers and deduced.
In the manifestation of the clouds, her figure was a little blurry. She had naturally used her mystical abilities to block the detection. However, in Li Changshou’s heart, he saw her standing proudly in her white robe.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “She’s looking for your location. It seems that she can’t deduce it. I have to remind her.” “Great Daoist Master, this…”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Let’s invite her here.” “Alright, don’t call me Great Daoist Master later. Call me Senior Brother in front of Junior Sister Yun Xiao.”
The Great Daoist Master instructed and pointed his right finger at the clouds.
The fairy, who was originally calculating and pinching her fingers, could not help but turn to look in the southwest direction. Her figure was wrapped in the clouds and disappeared quickly. She should have rushed over.
The Great Daoist Master flipped his right hand, and a small paG.o.da wrapped in the aura of Heaven and Earth appeared in his palm. He pushed it over. The Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da trembled slightly. A wisp of spiritual will entered Li Changshou’s heart and transformed into… some unrestrained laughter. “Little fellow, long time no see. This time, the PaG.o.da Master will protect you. Continue to bomb those demons and monsters!” Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and allowed the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da to enter his chest to protect his Primordial Dao Body. The extreme sense of security was back! The Great Daoist Master suddenly said, “Why is it so lively now? There are still people rus.h.i.+ng here.” As he spoke, the cloud appeared again. This time, the image that appeared was very clear. Under the starry sky, above the South Ocean, two burly figures were running on the waves. The guy wearing the horse headgear and leather suit was combing his smooth mane with a stone comb. The details were perfectly presented by the Taiji Painting.
Their voices could even be heard…
“Ox, if we are congratulating the Great Daoist Master, why are we going to the Sea G.o.d Temple? Neigh!”
“Is the Great Daoist Master someone we can meet just because we want to? We can only look for the Sea G.o.d, I mean, the Water G.o.d! Besides, if we can’t find a reason, how can we ask the Water G.o.d for condiments? Moo! Sigh, Horse, tell me. The dragon race has been brought to the Heavenly Courts by the Water G.o.d. When will the Heavenly Courts take a liking to our Netherworld?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. He felt that the Netherworld was beautiful.
