Chapter 486 - Kunlun Jade Void Bank
Chapter 486 Kunlun Jade Void Bank
Fortunately…
When faced with a dangerous situation, Ling Zhuzi could stand up and stand in front of the Jade Rabbit girl without any hesitation. It could be considered a responsibility. He had to continue observing and interfere with other problems. If he really could not, he could only respect him. At the door of the Glacial Palace, immortal senses were paying attention. Li Changshou walked out with the spiritual pearl. The former had white hair, white eyebrows, and a benevolent smile on his face. The latter had changed into a green Daoist robe and was following behind his Aunt-Master with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Many Heavenly Generals, immortals, and fairies who were secretly investigating the place discovered the key points.
Why did this young man change his clothes?
“Farewell, Lord Water God.”
Heng’e’s gentle voice floated out of the array formation. She stood outside the palace with the young girl, Yu Tu, and inside the array formation’s light wall. She folded her hands in front of her and bowed to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou turned around and bowed.
“Thank you for your help today, Moon Lord. If you are free, come to my Water God Residence. My Disciple-Nephew is quite close to your maidservant. If the Jade Rabbit is free, she can come to my Water God Residence at any time.” Jade Rabbit clearly trembled. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at the Water God’s appearance. Heng’e said gently, “Thank you for your invitation, Water God.”
However, he did not say anything else. Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk gently. A white cloud appeared under his feet and flew out of the moon with Ling Zhuzi. It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but Heng’e stood quietly in front of the door of the Vast Glacial Palace for a long time. Her eyes were in a daze… The immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts saw this scene and the topic began to change. “Fairy Heng’e is so beautiful. She seems to have some extraordinary thoughts about the Water God. After sending the Water God away, she stood quietly in front of the gate of the Vast Glacial Palace for a long time.”
“Fairy Heng’e is indeed the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms! He must have fallen in love with the Water God. That can be considered a good fate.”
“What? The Water God and Fairy Heng’e are together? Did they change their clothes after entering the Frost Palace?” Before Li Changshou returned to the Water God Residence on a cloud, the news had already spread throughout the Heavenly Courts. There were various versions.
There were even Heavenly Courts influencers who began to discuss the matter in the live broadcast of their bronze mirrors, attracting a lot of attention… As a famous Heavenly Courts influencer, Bian Zhuang was extremely well-informed in this aspect. Before Li Changshou returned to the Water God Residence, Bian Zhuang had already heard a few rumors. He raised his head at the side of the Heavenly River and sighed while crying silently. Ao Yi, who had just returned to the Heavenly Courts from the Dragon Palace yesterday, was in a good mood. While feeling puzzled, he made an exception and cared for Bian Zhuang. “What’s wrong?”
The collapse of a mature man was probably in an instant.
Bian Zhuang suddenly wailed and turned to look at Ao Yi. Tears flowed from his nostrils. “I! Lord Water God! Fairy Heng’e!”
“Huh?” Ao Yi, who had been focused on cultivation, was instantly confused. “I lost…”
Bian Zhuang wiped his tears and his lips trembled.
“In the end, my marriage that ended without a cause was defeated by power, status, and fame! Lord Water God has given me everything I have now. I can’t be ungrateful and fight with him for Fairy Heng’s heart! Although this has yet to happen, the sentimental feelings in my heart have already… vanished!” Ao Yi was speechless. The corners of his mouth twitched.
“You’re crazy!”
“Yes, I caused an incurable lovesickness.”
Bian Zhuang sighed dejectedly and said in a low voice, “Since ancient times, there have been many emotions and regrets!” Ao Yi looked to the side and calmly interrupted Bian Zhuang’s chanting. “Brother Sect Master told me previously that he seems to have the intention to promote you to the position of the assistant lecturer of 300 Chang’e.” Bian Zhuang was shocked. He wiped his face with both hands, and his pair of arms shone brightly. “Is that true?”
Ao Yi was speechless.
True Dragon Claw Hand! A dragon in the sky! Bian Zhuang screamed and turned into a black dot in the sky. He flew for a while before landing far below the Heavenly River. Finally, his back floated up and gradually drifted away… Ao Yi thought for a while and took out a bronze mirror. He collected some related rumors and sent them to the Water God Residence in time. Li Changshou smiled when he heard that.
It was expected.
He originally wanted to use the Heavenly Emperor Tablet that had destroyed the rumors to prove his innocence.
However, he also thought that the more he explained, the more he would make things worse. On the surface, he would suppress the matter, but he would be taken as having tacitly agreed to it.
There was no harm in flying for a while. He was just a paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts. What else could he do?
If he did not go to the Frost Palace later, the rumors would stop.
Moreover, he could take advantage of the wave of rumors to set up a second sign for the Heavenly Courts—the number one beauty of the Three Realms.
The role of the Super Heavenly Soldiers Plan was very obvious. Youqin Xuanya’s activity and the rise of the Heavenly Courts resulted in batches of Itinerant Immortals joining the Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. In fact, he was preparing to upgrade his Heavenly Soldiers to the mid-stage of the Essence Immortal realm…
Although the Heavenly Courts was still only the fourth force of the Primordial World, and their overall strength was behind the Dao Sect, the Western Sect, and the Middle Continent Immortal Sect, the name of the Heavenly Courts had already spread throughout the Primordial World. No one knew that the Primordial Era of the Heavenly Courts was long in the past.
Next, he could compete with the Western Sect for the Trichiliocosm and increase the Heavenly Courts’ influence in the Trichiliocosm.
Li Changshou stood outside the world and observed the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Courts. He obtained many insights from it. The rise of the Heavenly Courts could not just rely on the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. From the perfection of the internal system of the Heavenly Courts, the increase in external prestige, to the recruitment, formation, and recognition of all living beings… Those were the foundations of prosperity. Li Changshou had become the help of that process. He had obtained benefits and helped the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Courts do many things… “That person has become an indispensable part of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao.” Li Changshou suddenly thought of Goddess Nuwa’s words and could not help but be stunned. When he thought about how his merit had been deducted twice, he could not help but feel uneasy. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is really going to go all out? He still had to think of a few backup plans. The current ones were obviously not safe enough. In the study of the Water God Residence, Li Changshou activated a paper effigy that looked like a Heavenly General and sent the box of extremely precious cosmetic powder to Kong Xuan…
Li Changshou was an expert in alchemy after all. He could distinguish many precious materials from the powder.
It was barely equivalent to two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. It was not a big deal… This prodigal female immortal! You’re already like that, yet you’re still not satisfied!
Why don’t I stew the ten Connate Spirit Roots into beauty nourishing soup!?! Li Changshou thought to himself that it was terrifying. The paper effigy sat on the round chair and slowly closed his eyes. His mind moved to the side.
Half a day later, in the depths of the forest outside the largest city in the Shang Tribe. Li Changshou handed the box of cosmetics to Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan thanked him and said that he would begin his seclusion later. She estimated that it would take 36 years for Kong Xuan’s gender to be confirmed… “I’m not going into seclusion to comprehend the Dao. When I’m in seclusion, I will divert my attention to take care of this place. You don’t have to worry. Be it the Shang tribe or the incarnation of the Seven Emotions, I will not damage them.” Kong Xuan paused and asked, “Have you thought of the name of the Seven Emotions?”
“When she speaks, let them take one themselves.” Li Changshou shook his head and smiled. “Seven souls and seven personalities. There will always be people who are dissatisfied with what we name them.”
Kong Xuan chuckled and his gaze was a little complicated. After all, he had to settle the Yin and Yang during this seclusion. His transformation and future path were filled with uncertainties.
Li Changshou said, “Teacher once said that you are destined to face a calamity. He asked me and Senior Brother to help you overcome the calamity and then enter Ren School.” Kong Xuan’s eyes flickered. He cupped his hands at Li Changshou and turned to leave.
However, just as she turned around, she stopped and turned around.
“One more thing. I have a third brother who is a Golden-Winged Roc. He entered the Primordial World with me. He is a little unreasonable and is similar to the Great Daoist Master I met back then. A few days ago, he came to look for me and persuaded me to submit to the Western Sect… If he attacks you, there’s no need to show mercy on my account. There’s no harm in killing him.”
After saying that, Kong Xuan did not wait for Li Changshou to reply. He took two steps forward and disappeared into a colorful fog. Golden-winged roc? Li Changshou was quite familiar with that name. He was Kong Xuan’s third brother and the Winged Immortal in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. He did not expect that he had already belonged to the Western Sect and had even persuaded Kong Xuan to join the Western Sect.
Indeed, the Western Sect had established the pillar of destiny, Ksitigarbha. They were beginning to stir up trouble.
Where will the Western Sect most likely target next?
In the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou pondered for a while. He raised his pen and wrote down a few options. Then, he crossed out the other options one by one and left behind one —
It was the first meeting of the anti-Western-Sect Immortal Dao factions. From the looks of it, a battle was inevitable.
“Senior Brother!”
Ling’e called out softly and jumped over. She looked down at the words on the desk. “Are you worried about that?”
“Tsk.” Li Changshou put down the brush that he had made himself. Just as he was about to raise his hand to rub his glabella, two cold hands had already moved closer and were gently rubbing against each other.
Ling’e whispered, “Are you worried that the Western Sect will cause trouble?”
“No matter what, we can’t avoid it,” Li Changshou said. “The last time, Senior Brother Lu Yue and I used poison to kill a group of their fighters. This time, they will probably stop at nothing to cause trouble.”
“Shall we make the venue more complicated?”
Ling’e suggested softly, “For example, we will specify a gathering place at the beginning. When people come to the next place, we will repeat it a few times…”
“That’s not feasible,” Li Changshou said softly. “Putting aside the fact that such actions will destroy the prestige of the Immortal Alliance and the dignity of the Heavenly Courts, how can we ensure that the spies planted by the Western Sect cannot send any news? When the Western Sect dealt with the dragon race, they had revealed a large number of experts’ means of collective teleportation. This method seems good, but it’s actually not feasible.”
“Senior Brother, you’re really thoughtful,” Ling’e replied with a smile and continued to think of a solution. Li Changshou thought of something and asked, “I’ll start refining a batch of pills tomorrow. Do you want… pills for skincare and fair skin?”
“Can I refine this?” Ling’e was filled with anticipation. “Of course.” Li Changshou could not help but laugh. “You really care about that. Do you want to be beautiful?”
“Senior Brother, help me refine it.” Ling’e hugged Li Changshou’s arm and acted coquettishly. “My cultivation level has already been reduced by Sister Yun Xiao. Of course, I have to find other places to make up for it!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Alright, he felt a little guilty about that. “The Western Sect,” Li Changshou muttered and continued to write and draw.
Ling’e watched from the side for a while and realized that she gradually could not understand the words written by her senior brother. She gradually could not follow the changes in his thoughts. Hence, she obediently went to the side and did some relatively simple tidying of information.
The secret underground chamber was quiet. The senior brother was frowning and thinking about the important matters of the world. The junior sister was busy at the side. She leaned on the desk and secretly looked at the senior brother’s face…
It was peaceful yet full of vicissitudes.
Ling’e hid some of her worries in her heart. She felt that she was living a good life and was especially comfortable.
Hence, nine years later.
A white cloud floated out of the Central Heaven Gate. It carried the attention of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals and slowly flew towards the Kunlun Mountain in the northwest direction.
On the cloud, there was an old Daoist priest in a white robe standing in front of him. He had a kind face, white hair, and white eyebrows. He was naturally the Water God of the Heavenly Courts. In another decade or so, he would receive the decree and officially become a certain lifespan of Taibai Jinxing. Now, only the Great Daoist Master, Ling’e, and the others would mention the name Changgeng, which was circulated in the Three Realms. Ling Zhuzi stood behind Li Changshou in a blue robe. Li Changshou had a few goals in rushing to the Kunlun Mountain.
Firstly, he wanted to invite a few experts of Chan School to participate in the Immortal Union Conference that was about to be held in the Three Thousand Worlds. It would be best if he could invite experts from the Burning Lamp faction to help. There were many schemes behind this. Secondly, it was a response to the Saint’s invitation that day. Thirdly, he would bring Ling Zhuzi to show his face and let Chan School discover the changes in Ling Zhuzi. Then, he would spread the matter to Perfected Taiyi.
That way, he could avoid the fact that he had personally brought Ling Zhuzi back to the Qianyuan Mountain and was discovered by Perfected Taiyi that he had been overly nurtured. After bringing Ling Zhuzi to the Glacial Palace the last time, Li Changshou had been paying attention to Ling Zhuzi. Gradually, Li Changshou understood that Ling Zhuzi did not change his sexual orientation. Instead, he became enthusiastic about battle techniques and physical combat mystical abilities. He had become rather fond of fighting. However, he had already fought his way to the Heavenly River from the Water God Residence nine years ago. Many Heavenly Courts’ generals had become defeated by him. Even the Golden Immortal Heavenly Generals had lost one or two to him. The battle techniques of the Magi, the spiritual pearl body, the Dao Sect’s Dharma spells, and the support of the Child of Destiny… The improvement of Ling Zhuzi was rather terrifying. Even the Dao Realm advanced at a rapid pace. It was estimated that he would be able to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation within a hundred years. Li Changshou often thought about what kind of calamity would force Ling Zhuzi to reincarnate into Nezha. At that moment, he had a faint premonition that the reincarnation of Ling Zhuzi was probably not because of the calamity, but because of his own cultivation.
Compared to Li Jing, who was currently cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect and had relied on his luck to advance without any obstacles, who had recently reached the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm…
With Ling Zhuzi’s competitive personality, even if Li Changshou had given the Glazed Pagoda to Li Jing long ago, Li Jing might not be able to withstand it. Speaking of Li Jing, Li Changshou’s modification plan had never stopped. However, his methods were rather gentle. The seniors in the sect taught Li Jing quite diligently. They gave Li Jing a lot of warmth and instilled many ideas that Li Changshou had arranged. For example, he could not just scold or encourage his children.
For example, how to shoulder the responsibility of a father. After he was born, he had to be educated. Even if he was busy with work, writing a letter would have a good effect. The list goes on. Li Changshou was worried about Yang Jian and Nezha.
The key to whether he could successfully escape from the Heavenly Courts after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was these two small generals.
The stronger the new generals of the Heavenly Courts, the more likely the Jade Emperor would let them go…
Thinking about that, Li Changshou smiled and said, “Disciple-Nephew, remember. When you go to the Jade Void Palace, if anyone asks if you have a Dao companion or if you are interested in any fairy, just smile and don’t say anything. You don’t have to answer or answer randomly.” Ling Zhuzi was a little confused, but it still nodded and agreed. “Don’t worry, Uncle-Master. I’ll remember everything.”
“That’s good.” Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk. Kunlun Mountain was already in sight, and he had long released his Dao runes. His journey was smooth and unobstructed. He flew above many immortal sects and attracted immortal senses to follow him.
Although he did not use the Heavenly Courts’ ceremonial rites or call him the Water God everywhere, his appearance and Dao runes were already the mark of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. Not long after, he arrived in front of the Jade Void Palace. Li Changshou rode a cloud and arrived at the mountainside of the Immortal Peak. He stood in front of the immortal gate. There was no array formation guarding the periphery of the Jade Void Palace. This was the place where the Saints preached the Dao. It was also the core region of Chan School. The auras of the experts spread within a radius of thousands of kilometers. No one dared to come here to cause trouble.
Li Changshou smiled and reported his name. The two Golden Immortal Daoists from the immortal sect immediately invited Li Changshou in. Another boy rode a crane and rushed to the Jade Void Palace to report. After walking for more than a hundred feet, the palaces and pavilions of the Jade Void Palace lit up with immortal light. The immortal crane carried the boy and the old man rode a cloud. Auspicious scenes could be seen everywhere.
Ding
Melodious bell sounds came from the Jade Void Hall. All the Qi Refinement cultivators who were cultivating in the Jade Void Palace were alarmed.
That scene surprised Li Changshou. After all, he had only sent his incarnation there. He did not expect Chan School to take it so seriously. Naturally, Li Changshou’s position was clear. Whenever he saw an old man, he would call him Senior Brother. When he saw a fairy, he would call her Senior Sister. Even if someone corrected his seniority, he had to at least show his attitude. After traveling less than a thousand feet, several streams of light landed and turned into two old Daoists and a dignified and elegant female Daoist. They bowed to Li Changshou. Li Changshou hurriedly returned the greeting. He naturally recognized the three of them.
The female Daoist on the left was Daoist Priest Ci Hang, one of the twelve Golden Immortals. Her face could not be said to be ugly, but she was not as good-looking as the female immortals of the Heavenly Courts. She had a dignified appearance and a beautiful face. Her Daoist robe and hair accessories were just right. The old Daoist priest in the middle was Chi Jingzi.
He had entered the sect early and had high comprehension. He was in charge of the Connate numinous treasure, the Yin-Yang Mirror. It was also a rather powerful treasure that could reverse the Yin-Yang. The old Daoist priest on the right was an old acquaintance. He was burly, pale, and a youthful face with no facial hair. At this moment, he was smiling. He stood there and laughed loudly. “Hahahaha! You’re finally here!” It was Perfected Huang Long, who once had a pool in the Three Friends Courtyard!
Li Changshou smiled and sighed. “I’ve been busy with the matters of the Heavenly Courts. I haven’t been free. I came to visit you today. Please forgive me for disturbing you.”
Perfected Huang Long laughed loudly. Chi Jingzi also smiled warmly and invited Li Changshou to the hall.
Li Changshou stopped and walked up the stairs. He rode a cloud with the spiritual pearl and followed behind the three personal disciples of the Saint of Chan School.
Along the way! The mountains were endless, and the clouds were accompanied by immortal shadows.
Looking at the water, the first and second treasure pools were like the finishing touch between the jade buildings. Three to four clear springs dotted the forest, and streams flowed, causing the spiritual charm of the place to be blurred. He heard the chanting of sutras and smelled the Green Wood fragrance. When he arrived in front of the Jade Void Hall, he could not help but look back. He seemed to have seen an immortal path behind him. He was already at the peak of the immortal path. Li Changshou praised in his heart, “It’s really a good place to cultivate.”
Perfected Huang Long smiled and said, “Junior Brother, you can come often. You can stay here for a long time.”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “There are many matters in the Heavenly Courts. My cultivation has to be delayed every day. Although the Jade Emperor trusts me now, I still have no choice.” In the hall, Guang Chengzi brought the two personal disciples of the Saint forward to welcome them. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Changshou and reported their names. The shorter Daoist was afraid of his descendants. The middle-aged Daoist was the Numinous Treasure Daoist who did not have a strong presence among the twelve Golden Immortals.
Li Changshou and the two Golden Immortals greeted each other and were invited into the hall by Guang Chengzi. Before coming, Li Changshou had done his homework.
Li Changshou had shown sufficient etiquette to the members of Chan School. From the order of their seating arrangements, the seating posture after they took their seats, the topic of conversation, and so on, he had made thorough preparations. At that moment, the guests and hosts were all happy. The members of the Jade Void Palace who had been called to accompany Li Changshou for tea and Dao discussion had a good impression of him. The atmosphere was just getting intense when two streams of light came from outside the Jade Void Palace. They were Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi.
“Master!”
Ling Zhuzi let out a soft cry and stood up to quickly welcome him. He met Perfected Taiyi outside the hall and hurriedly bowed. Perfected Taiyi nodded with a smile. He sized up Ling Zhuzi and felt the earth-shattering changes that his disciple had undergone. His nose turned sour. Finally, the manly side of my good disciple has arrived!
Perfected Taiyi was inexplicably emotional. However, he did not like his mother and did not want to be emotional. At that moment, he placed his hands in his sleeves and asked with a smile, “How’s your cultivation with your Aunt-Master Changgeng?” Ling Zhuzi said firmly, “Aunt-Master Changgeng taught me a lot of principles and broadened my horizons. He also made me become friends with many Heavenly Generals and brothers of the Magi. Without Aunt-Master Changgeng’s guidance, I would not be as energetic as I am today!” Perfected Taiyi smiled and squinted. “Not bad, not bad. How is it? Apart from befriending so many Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Courts, have you befriended any fairies?”
“This…”
“If anyone asks if you have a Dao companion or if you are attracted to any fairy, you will smile and not say anything. You don’t have to answer.”
Hence, Ling Zhuzi smiled and shook his head slightly. Perfected Taiyi was instantly interested and asked, “Why are you still embarrassed with me? Could it be that you really like a little fairy?”
Ling Zhuzi frowned slightly and continued smiling without saying anything. Perfected Taiyi asked curiously, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did I ask the wrong question? You didn’t fall for any little fairy. Hehe, can you fall for any Heavenly General?” “Ahem!”
In the hall, Li Changshou, who was drinking tea, choked.
Outside the hall, Ling Zhuzi smiled again without saying anything. There was a hint of helplessness in its eyes. What is Master doing?
However, Perfected Taiyi widened his mouth and froze on the spot.
In the next moment, the Grand Yin-Yang Master took out a golden brick from his sleeve and rushed into the Jade Void Hall.
“Li Changgeng, I’ll kill you today!”
