Chapter 513 Which Is Strong in the Primordial World’s Propaganda!?!

What?

In the messy hall of the Jade Heaven Palace, Li Changshou looked at the Grandmaster of Heaven on the platform through the layers of figures and dozens of light walls.

The Grandmaster of Heaven looked a little helpless. He looked at the rapidly spinning tenth-grade and half red lotus in his left palm and then at the confused scholar’s soul in his right palm.

The Saint, who did not put on any airs, had a solemn expression.

At that moment, the scholar’s soul was red. His body kept expanding, shrinking, and expanding, as if he would explode at any moment. With the Grandmaster of Heaven protecting him, he naturally would not let anything happen to him. Li Changshou praised in his heart… Putting aside the artistic nature of the explosion when the red lotus collapsed, the immortals of Jie School were really ruthless, fast, accurate, and stable!

The moment the red lotus erupted and the Grandmaster of Heaven attacked, Li Changshou’s first reaction was to grab Yun Xiao’s arm and shout for the Taiji Painting to save him.

However, just as he was about to raise his arm, golden light flashed in front of him. Yun Xiao had already held the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in front of him to block him.

In almost an instant, Master Zhao’s Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit’s Four-Symbols PaG.o.da, Qiong Xiao’s Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and Daoist Duobao’s ten-odd protective numinous treasures appeared near Li Changshou, causing more than ten protective s.h.i.+elds and three to four figures to appear in front of him! If someone reacted so quickly, Li Changshou would not be too surprised. What shocked him was that almost all the experts of Jie School had reacted correctly in the shortest time possible.

It was terrifying. At a glance, it was obvious that they had studied “Killing the Enemy”. Their true combat power was almost above their respective Dao Realms.

It was no wonder that in the original Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, there were often experts from Jie School who fought against a group of people and were not at a disadvantage…

Of course, the Saint, the Grandmaster of Heaven, reacted the fastest. The moment the red lotus exploded, a sword aura appeared in front of the immortals. The Grandmaster of Heaven grabbed the red lotus with one hand and forcefully suppressed the power of the twelfth-grade red lotus that should have completely erupted. The wave that had swept out and almost destroyed half of the Small World was just the aftermath of the red lotus’s negative karma. Singlehandedly suppressing such a precious treasure was undoubtedly the power of a Saint!

“Master!”

Daoist Duobao put away the protective numinous treasure that he had scattered and hurriedly asked, “Did someone plot against us?” The Grandmaster of Heaven shrugged and looked at the red lotus in front of him. He smiled and sighed. “It’s the luck of our Jie School. It has already exceeded the limit that it can endure. Those twelfth-grade lotus flowers were formed from the lotus seeds that the Chaos green lotus had yet to mature. According to the situation today, if you want to suppress the luck of Jie School, you have to obtain the 32nd-grade green lotus formed from the only mature lotus seed of the Chaos green lotus. Only then can you suppress the luck of our sect. Unfortunately, the green lotus has already dissipated. Ahem, everything that happened today was within my expectations… Changgeng, the human’s soul has been completely separated from the red lotus. The red lotus is also incomplete. It will not continue to disintegrate. There is no need for this soul. Please settle down.” “Yes,” Li Changshou agreed and hurriedly walked out from behind the crowd. He did not hide back there. With the Taiji Painting and the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da, Li Changshou actually wanted to protect Fairy Yun Xiao. It was not that he was slow, but he was protected by the immortals of Jie School.

It was really the treatment of a junior brother.

Li Changshou walked to the steps and received the confused scholar’s soul. Golden light surged in his palm, and wisps of merit wrapped around the scholar’s soul, melting the negative karma inside. What surprised Li Changshou was that the scholar’s soul seemed to have been reborn. The Dao runes of the Connate numinous treasure were emitted from his soul, and his soul was as st.u.r.dy as an ordinary Perfected Immortal cultivator! It was as if it was a spiritual object that had just left its old sh.e.l.l. It was between a human, immortal, and ghost… It was really strange. The immortals of the sect put away their treasures and surrounded him.

The Grandmaster of Heaven suspended the red lotus that had only ten and a half petals in front of him. He pinched his fingers slightly to deduce and kept thinking. The Saint stood at the peak of the Dao, but he was also a living being. At that moment, he could see through the heavenly secrets that were blocked by the Great Tribulation. It was enough to prove his strength. It was just that his actions were less showy and he did not have any airs. He did not look that unfathomable.

Zhao Gongming smiled and sighed. “In the end, I got busy for nothing. I even got involved with so many scenery and items in the Green Touring Palace.” The Grandmaster of Heaven opened one of his eyes and said, “Gongming, go and restore the outside world and check the treasures.”

“Yes!”

Master Zhao quickly lowered his head and accepted the order. He hurriedly left with a few Jie School immortals.

The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said softly, “Master, could it be that there are really so many negative karma people who have sneaked into Jie School and implicated the luck of Jie School?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and said, “The negative karma of merit is determined by the heavens. The matters of good and evil are all true. Back when I was preaching in the East Ocean and the South Ocean, anyone who had evil intentions would naturally not be able to enter my body. Those who can hear about my Dao are naturally fated with me.”

Li Changshou could not help but translate in his heart…

“This time, I’m going to swallow it down.”

The G.o.ddess of Wudang asked, “Master, why don’t you use the name of Jie School today and drag the disciples of Jie School back?” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “Then what? Before the Great Tribulation arrived, we relied on the fact that the immortals supported the reputation of Jie School. However, after the Great Tribulation arrived, we have to chase away these fellow disciples? We can only share fortune and power but not suffer together.” The G.o.ddess of Wudang said seriously, “Senior Sister, you can’t say that. The Grandmaster of Purple Cloud Palace has already given us a clear message. We will enter the calamity with Chan School and the Western Sect. It’s a good thing to let the disciples with negative karma leave our sect and let them escape the calamity.” Daoist Duobao pondered for a while. “That’s the logic, but others will definitely slander you when they interpret it. Besides, what should the disciples who have been expelled think?”

Qiong Xiao smiled and said, “Since you said that we can enjoy blessings together, we naturally have to face difficulties together. The Great Tribulation is not just this once. We have experienced it a few times since ancient times. With Master around, we don’t have to worry too much.” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “That’s right. Under the Great Tribulation, we have to work together. The Heavenly Dao wants to send a Great Tribulation. We have to fight with all our might and obtain a chance of survival!”

The experts of the sect replied in unison, “It’s better if the red lotus is there. It’s fine even if it’s destroyed.”

“This is probably to let us practice the teachings and fight the Great Tribulation to the end.”

“Hmph, those guys from Chan School will probably wake up from their laughter when they cultivate!”

Fairy Yun Xiao took two steps forward and said softly, “Master, can’t this red lotus be restored? If I throw it into the sea of blood, can it be restored?”

“Just now, our sect’s luck crushed the root of this red lotus.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven revealed a look of regret, but in the blink of an eye, he recovered a smile. He pushed the red lotus in front of the disciples and said, “This item can be considered a good numinous treasure to repair. Who wants to use it?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Is that how Jie School distributes treasures?

Wouldn’t I, a disciple of Ren School who can barely be considered half an immortal of Jie School…

I miss peaches. Although he was deeply involved with Jie School, he had to be scrupulous in separating public from private interests. If he were to fall into a quagmire, how could he get someone out of it? The soul in his hand had already calmed down. Clearing the negative karma on the scholar did not consume too much merit. Instead, it made Li Changshou feel enlightened. The important content of the Great Dao of Equalization was the system of humans, spirits, immortals, demons, and ghosts. Creatures like the scholar who had coincidentally become special existences could help Li Changshou complete the Great Dao of Equalization. Only by understanding all living beings could they be balanced.

The red lotus was in front, but the immortals of Jie School did not fight over it. They looked at the lotus flower in disappointment.

The twenty to thirty immortals present knew the pros and cons of Jie School. The flames of hope that had been ignited previously were extinguished by a basin of cold water. Both of them felt uncomfortable.

The morale of the experts of the sect was indeed a huge setback. The Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, Duobao, smiled and said, “Master, this treasure was brought by Junior Brother Changgeng. Although it is damaged, it can transform into a Connate Spirit Lotus. Why don’t we give it to Junior Brother Changgeng? Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, you should not have any objections.” The immortals of Jie School nodded.

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Although this treasure is damaged, it’s still a precious treasure. Moreover, this treasure still retains the power to absorb negative karma. There are only two disciples in Ren School, me and Senior Brother Xuan Du. Moreover, I’m working in the Heavenly Courts. Senior Brother Xuan Du does not increase his negative karma. To be fair, it’s most appropriate for him to stay in Jie School. Aunt-Master, in my humble opinion, why don’t you let Senior Brother Duobao hold this treasure? While the Great Tribulation has yet to arrive, let’s resolve the destiny of Jie School.”

The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “Master just said that the negative karma is only set by the Heavenly Dao. Jie School does not judge good from evil.” Li Changshou looked at Fairy Yun Xiao, who looked hopeful.

Clearly, she wanted him to convince the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit.

Then, he would persuade the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit.

At the same time, he had to take the opportunity to instill some “necessary” ideas in Jie School.

“Senior Sister, you’re wrong,” Li Changshou said warmly. “The Heavenly Dao only set the rules to restrict all living beings. Due to the fact that there are many living beings and the world is too big, the rules set by the Heavenly Dao have to be simple and direct to maintain stability. Just like in the mortal world, many laws in the city are rules like ‘those who kill, those who injure, and those who steal will be punished’. It was the same for merit and negative karma. The Heavenly Dao did not restrict them. In the eyes of a disciple of Ren School who was from the human race, that was how I understood Uncle-Master’s words. For example, a good person with great merit had harmed the lives of four people in a family of five because of something. Only one young man survived. The young man tempered himself and found an opportunity to kill the good person to avenge his family. He was infected with a huge negative karma. Therefore, he cannot use simple merit and negative karma to determine if living beings are good or evil. However, Senior Sister Jinling, is this young man evil?” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “Revenge is not evil. However, he will be tainted by many negative karma. That is the unfairness of the Heavenly Dao.”

“That’s right, but he’s still evil.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Senior Sister, don’t be anxious. Listen to me. Putting aside the ident.i.ty of the good person’s enemy, the young man had killed someone. He was essentially evil. The unfairness of the Heavenly Dao is that it turned the merit on the good person into negative karma on the young man, making him suffer the torture that he should not have endured. To the young man, the Heavenly Dao protected the greatest evil in his eyes. However, to the mortals who had been helped by good people, this young man is evil.

When the young man goes to the Netherworld and faces the judge, he will receive a heavy sentence of suffering in the Eighteen Levels of h.e.l.l.”

Qiong Xiao said, “Then… according to that, can’t this young man take revenge?” “Yes, but there’s no need to kill someone personally. There’s no need to let yourself fall into the evil Dao. That’s why the Heavenly Dao wants to prosper the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou took two steps forward and bowed to the Grandmaster of Heaven.

“If the Heavenly Courts are powerful enough and can affect the Three Realms, the story of the good person and the young man can be improved. Just think about it, a good person had harmed his parents and had already fallen into the evil Dao. The Heavenly Courts could sentence the good person to death. The merit acc.u.mulated by the good person could be used to change his luck after reincarnation. The young man did not kill anyone. He had already taken revenge. Wouldn’t that be a hundred times better than killing someone viciously? The Heavenly Dao wants to promote the Heavenly Courts because it wants to uphold justice under the simple rules of the Heavenly Dao!”

“Justice…” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit muttered to herself. The immortals of Jie School were also thinking.

The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled at Li Changshou, but he did not say anything. He slumped on the steps and observed the reactions of his disciples. Seeing that the Saint had allowed it, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief…

Today’s publicity work of the Heavenly Courts was completed! It was really troublesome to not directly talk about the rule of law.

After all, in the eyes of the Heavenly Courts, the disciples of the three Dao Sects were all lawless.

If his words today could plant a seed in the Dao hearts of the immortals of Jie School, Li Changshou would not waste his breath.

Li Changshou changed the topic and pulled the red lotus back. “When the Great Tribulation descends, immortals with negative karma can indeed easily turn into ashes. It’s fine if they really have bad personalities, but wouldn’t it be a pity if they are young Daoists? Fighting against the Heavenly Dao and intercepting an opportunity is not to fight and kill. Methods, strategies, adaptations, games, schemes… were all extremely important. When I listened to my teacher’s teachings, I was touched by his words. The strength of the mystical abilities, the power of the treasures, and the level of knowledge are not the main reasons for our survival. Arrogance is.”

After saying that, Li Changshou bowed to various places and calmly walked back to Fairy Yun Xiao’s side.

Yun Xiao was like most of the immortals of Jie School. She pondered and her eyes flickered.

While the immortals of Jie School were not paying attention, the Grandmaster of Heaven secretly winked at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou hurriedly lowered his head and bowed. He did not dare to accept the Saint’s praise. He put the scholar’s soul back into the Dharma treasure that nurtured his soul and recalled the words he had just said.

Actually, according to his principles of seeking stability, there were some things that he should not say. However, in order to plan for the future more steadily, there were some things that he might say today.

“Thank you.”

Yun Xiao suddenly sent a voice transmission. Li Changshou smiled calmly and looked at her without saying anything.

Half a day later, outside the Three-Immortal Island, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao flew back into the clouds 500 kilometers away. Fairy Yun Xiao rode a cloud while Li Changshou rode a “wind and clouds” and floated towards the South Continent.

The damaged red lotus was naturally left behind in Jie School. It was not bad if it could reduce some negative karma. On the cloud, Fairy Yun Xiao sat at the side while Li Changshou meditated obediently. The moment their eyes met, they quickly looked away. For some reason, Li Changshou really found the “waves” and “slows” of his previous life. Yun Xiao said gently, “You’re right. Pride is the main reason for our survival. It’s really thoughtful.” Li Changshou said, “This is actually Teacher’s guidance.” In fact, he had read that in a book in his previous life. He had a deeper impression of it.

However, in order to give a more reasonable explanation and not reveal too much of his abilities, such a ‘good thing’ could be attributed to his teacher, the Grand Pure One. His teacher had no reason to blame him.

Li Changshou felt a little guilty and calmly changed the topic. “As far as you know, how many experts with deep negative karma in Jie School are there?” “I know a few people.” Yun Xiao read out a few Dao names softly. When Li Changshou heard the word “stone”, his eyes lit up. Is there a lot of negative karma in the G.o.ddess of Stone, who is sitting at home and is ranked in the top three on the G.o.d-Conferment Unlucky Index?

Li Changshou did not want to add to Yun Xiao’s worries. He did not ask further and immediately led her away.

Just like that, the two of them chatted for a while and got closer to each other. From three feet away, they became two feet apart.

However, if he wanted to improve further, there would be many tests.

Yun Xiao found the language realm and suddenly asked, “What did Master say to you when he brought you to the treasure pool?” “I didn’t say much. I just said briefly about the red lotus.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “Third Aunt-Master is a good master.” “Yes,” Fairy Yun Xiao said. “Master has never been stingy with us. He cares for us like a father.” “I… feel it.”

“What’s wrong?” she asked curiously. Her eyes were filled with light, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly. Li Changshou said, “When the red lotus erupted, Uncle-Master’s first reaction was to use his sword Qi to protect his disciple. Then, he suppressed the red lotus and saved the treasure. In the past few days, I went to Second Uncle-Master’s Jade Void Palace from Teacher’s Grand Pure One Temple and to Third Uncle-Master’s Green Touring Palace. It’s really like a dream.”

Yun Xiao said gently, “It’s been hard on you. You kept running for the Dao Sect.” “I only hope that the Great Tribulation will pa.s.s soon,” Li Changshou said warmly. “That way, when you and I go out, Uncle-Master will be more at ease. I won’t have to watch it with my own eyes.”

Yun Xiao could not help but tilt her head. In Green Touring Palace, a group of Jie School disciples sitting on the steps looked at each other. The Grandmaster of Heaven, who was leaning on the higher ground, frowned and asked in confusion, “He can actually see through my methods?” Before the disciples could answer, they heard Li Changshou’s laughter from the four “paintings” set up by the Immortal Vanquis.h.i.+ng Four Swords. “I made it up.” Yun Xiao looked around solemnly and casually set up several layers of clouds. At the same time, in the Grand Pure One Temple, an old Daoist priest smiled and looked at the image of the Taiji Painting in front of him. The image was fresh and clear. His voice was full and refused to be real. Li Changshou and Fairy Yun Xiao chatted and smiled along the way and arrived at the South Continent.

Li Changshou summoned the Divine Water Artifact, the Soap Martial Flag, and searched everywhere. He visited a few Dragon Kings of the Great River and found three places where he could place the scholar’s soul.

Li Changshou took out the scholar’s soul and said that he wanted to fulfill his promise and let the scholar be the Heavenly Courts’ little G.o.d.

The scholar was instantly moved to tears and kept bowing.

“I’ll really give you three options this time,” Li Changshou said with a smile. The scholar trembled a few times and was a little worried. After hearing Li Changshou’s choice, he heaved a sigh of relief. He could only choose three different kingdoms. Fortunately, he was not allowed to go to the “Ice River” in h.e.l.l.

Then, the scholar’s soul began to mutter.

“In Land A, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, but there are few people there. Go and be the little G.o.d there. Only the insects and fish can speak. There are many people in Land B. They could be wors.h.i.+ped, but it is not good to have too many people. There are not many people in Land C. However, there is only a small river. There will not be any results… What should we do?” Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He allowed the scholar to choose and walk around with Fairy Yun Xiao in the scenery of the mortal world.

However, after waiting for a while… The scholar began to scratch his ears and cheeks. He stared at the words “A, B, and C” floating in front of him and kept raising his hand and falling. Li Changshou, who was telling Yun Xiaoyan how he had fumbled in the Sea Serpent Qi that day, suddenly had a thought…

A guest had arrived at the rear hall of the Sea G.o.d Temple in Anshui City!

Li Changshou scanned it with his spiritual will and did not dare to be careless. He reminded Fairy Yun Xiao and sent his spiritual will over.

Not long after, an old immortal paper effigy crawled out of the ground and bowed to the figure waiting in the inner hall.

“Senior Brother Yu Ding, may I know why you are here today?”
