Chapter 638 - Heavenly Worker Number One
Chapter 638: Heavenly Worker Number One
“Appear and meet… meet… meet…”
On the calm sea, Li Changshou’s voice pierced through the smoke in a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. He did not seem to receive any response.
The two incarnations were not in a hurry. They waited quietly with their hands behind their backs. Their expressions were very calm.
Li Changshou was calm because he knew the “Bojian” well.
Previously, he had also received the “request” from Emperor Huang Xuanyuan. He had used the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to let Bai Jian escape. Could that be considered a good future?
Who is Bai Jian?
It was a long story.
Bai Jian was the general of the ancient human race, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan. He led the army and fought against Chi You!
At that time, the human troops were all immortal soldiers. The army of the Magihumans was comparable to the elites of the ancient Magi. Bai Jian was also a powerful and resourceful human expert.
The book was connected. It said that the Iron-Eating Beast had lost some honey and cured meat because it refused to accept the banquet. In anger, it stood up and flipped Chi You over, shouting that the Iron-Eating Beast would never become a slave.
The generals of the Xuanyuan Tribe rushed forward and fought against Chi You.
Chi You!
He possessed the bloodline of the ancient Magi and enjoyed the destiny of the main characters of the human race. He was bold and full of liver. He revealed his three-headed, six-armed, and eight-legged body. He controlled the saber, ax, and battle spear to fight with the generals of the Xuanyuan Tribe. He came all the way from the South Continent to the North Continent, from the North Continent to the East Continent, and fought until the sky turned dark.
Chi You became more and more courageous as the battle progressed. However, the number of human generals increased. The entire mountain was filled with the immortal soldiers of the Xuanyuan Clan. Chi You’s brothers had long died and were injured.
Chi You knew that he had lost. The Magihumans were no match for the human race after all. His plan to snatch the destiny of the human race had been exposed long ago.
However, his heart was filled with fighting spirit and boiling blood. If he did not give up, the Nine Li would not be destroyed!
He suffered hundreds of injuries, but he still refused to admit defeat. He shouted the name of Xuanyuan and fought the heroes of the human race with hundreds of soldiers!
Suddenly, he heard a shout. “Chi You, do you dare to fight me?”
A golden-armored warrior flew over from the side. He held a broad-bladed sword and his cloak fluttered behind him. He smashed his sword at Chi You’s head!
“Get lost!”
Chi You roared and spat out a mouthful of True Fire. The True Fire condensed into a spear and was held by Chi You with one hand to resist the huge sword!
Unexpectedly, the Golden-Armored General was not an ordinary person. It was the general under Emperor Huang Xuanyuan, Bai Jian. His sword and spear collided, and his strength was not inferior.
Chi You looked serious and fought with Bai Jian. The blood of the Magi burned, and Bai Jian was quickly defeated.
Just as Bai Jian was powerless, the Heavenly Fire and the human troops dodged. A beautiful woman with green skin rushed over from the ground!
She was actually the daughter of the Emperor who had killed many of Chi You’s good brothers, Ba!
She resisted Chi You head-on and fought beside Bai Jian. A few God Generals came to help and forced Chi You into a dead end.
That battle left behind endless legends.
Some people in the future said that Ying Long had killed Chi You, while others said that Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had personally destroyed Chi You.
Some people even said that Chi You was angered to death when he saw his Iron-Eating Beast being tricked by Emperor Huang Xuanyuan.
There were also people who said that there was no Chi You in the first place. Chi You was just a rebel general during Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s era. Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had created him to suppress the Magi who were about to revive.
The ancient times had gradually faded, but history had yet to fade.
Emperor Huang Xuanyuan’s General, Bai Jian, was shot into the North Ocean by Chi You during the battle at the border between the East Continent and the North Continent. The fire poison entered his heart and his body collapsed.
He could only rely on the seawater to suppress the fire poison and prevent his essence soul from being destroyed.
Today!
It was the time to witness history and discover the truth behind the rise of the human race in the Primordial World!
Together, they walked closer to Bai Jian and the truth about the Yellow Emperor fighting Chi You!
Hence…
There was silence.
After an hour, the sea was silent. Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor were still calm.
Coincidentally, the experts of Chan School, who had used the Cloud Mirror Art to observe the place and only saw two blurry figures, picked up their tea and watched the fun.
Perfected Huang Long asked in confusion, “Who is this Bai Jian?”
Guang Chengzi pinched his fingers to deduce his memories and smiled faintly.
“The generals of the human race, the Yellow Emperor, walked the path of internal and external cultivation that was popular at that time. The Dao Realm seems to be at the eighth-stage of the Golden Immortal realm, but his strength is much stronger than that of the Dao Realm. He did fight Chi You back then, but he was sent into the sea after a few exchanges.”
“Oh ~”
Huang Long pondered.
Chi Jingzi, who was at the side, said in a low voice, “If Bai Jian is here, why didn’t he agree?”
“Most of the generals of the Yellow Emperor are arrogant,” explained Guang Chengzi with a smile. “Back then, the human race was in the midst of soaring. They killed the demons, defeated the Magi, and occupied the five continents of the Primordial World. Immortal techniques were popularized. The human experts in that area, especially the Human Emperor generals, only recognized the Human Emperor and did not respect the Heavenly Emperor. Forget about his future and fate, even if Bai Jian disappeared, they would not care about the people of the Heavenly Courts. Junior Brother Changgeng will probably suffer today.”
“That’s true.” Daoist Numinous Treasure, who usually did not speak much, also sighed softly. “The human race and the Magi overthrew the Demon Court and defeated the Magi. The Heavenly Emperor’s position should have been the successor of the Human Emperor or the Human Emperor.”
“Don’t spout nonsense.” Chi Jingzi stroked his beard and warned, “The position of the Heavenly Emperor is decided by the Grandmaster, the Heavenly Dao, and not by the human race.”
Huang Long asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, you are the teacher of the Yellow Emperor. Back then, our Chan School fully supported the Yellow Emperor. Logically speaking, Bai Jian should give our Chan School some face… Why don’t we take this opportunity to express our goodwill to the Heavenly Courts and Junior Brother Changgeng?”
Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “Senior Brother Huang Long, you have a good idea this time.”
Huang Long smiled in embarrassment.
Perfected Yu Ding also said, “This is feasible. Senior Brother, please consider it.”
Guang Chengzi was a little hesitant.
Chi Jingzi stroked his beard and smiled. “Instead of taking the initiative to go, why don’t we wait for Changgeng to come and find us?”
“Hah.”
Perfected Taiyi could not help but squint and chuckle. The Daoists looked over, but Taiyi shrugged and played the accordion.
He did not say anything. He just smiled.
At that moment, a conversation sounded from the cloud mirror.
“Changgeng, are you sure that Bai Jian is at the bottom of the sea?”
“It should be here. I used the Divine Power of the Water God to investigate the various seas. It should be here.”
“I’ll deduce for a while. Yes, it’s indeed here. There’s a mansion under the sea. Its essence soul is sealed here.”
Quan Dong smiled and said, “It’s an ancient remnant soul. It’s heavily injured and suppressed by the seawater. It’s normal that it can’t hear the call. Again?”
Li Changshou frowned slightly and looked solemn.
“Human, Bai Jian, why aren’t you showing yourself?”
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, thunder rumbled behind him. Lightning dragons roared, as if they wanted to wake him up.
However, the sea was still quiet. Only a few timid prawns, crabs, and fish were trembling.
This time, Quan Dong looked displeased.
“Bai Jian! The Heavenly Courts’ Lord Taibai Jinxing is here. He was entrusted by the ancient emperor to come here to give you a chance. If you don’t appreciate my kindness, be careful!”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” Li Changshou hurriedly sent a voice transmission to stop Quan Dong’s vicious words. He already had a plan in his heart.
Quan Dong naturally did not care about Bai Jian.
The reason he was there today was because Li Changshou and Quan Dong were chatting happily. He mentioned the invitation that Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had previously invited. On a whim, Quan Dong pulled Li Changshou over.
However, he did not expect to be rejected.
Li Changshou was actually thinking if the Heavenly Dao was deliberately making things difficult for him because it was not yet time for the Bai Jian to appear.
However, Bai Jian’s role in becoming a god was to be a guardian of the God-Conferment Platform. He was independent of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. The timing he came out would not affect the situation at all.
At that moment, he had shouted twice, but Bai Jian still did not appear…
Even if the Jade Emperor’s incarnation was not angry, he had to express some anger and protect the dignity of the Heavenly Courts.
Even if this person was a general of the ancient human race, if he took credit and affected the construction of the Heavenly Courts’ order, he had to suppress his arrogance. At most, he would give more benefits elsewhere.
Thinking about that, Li Changshou stopped smiling and took three steps on the cloud.
“If Bai Jian is not here, we can just go back. Unfortunately, Senior Emperor Huang Xuanyuan personally begged me to save Bai Jian from his misery. I hesitated for a long time before I agreed to give him this opportunity. I didn’t expect that he was just a coward who hid at the bottom of the sea and did not dare to appear.”
It was a little provocative.
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, layers of waves appeared in the seawater and parted to the left and right. A figure jumped up from the seabed and arrived in the air. He glared at Li Changshou.
The general looked burly and upright. His armor was damaged, and the huge sword in his hand was covered in cracks.
He glared at Li Changshou. Although it was just his essence soul and there were wisps of black aura surrounding his body, it was still very powerful.
It was indeed the style of the ancient human generals.
Bai Jian cursed, “What kind of immortal god are you? How dare you spout nonsense here! How can His Majesty beg you!?!”
Li Changshou pursed his lips and deliberately looked arrogant. He said calmly, “Did I say something arrogant, or did you stay at the bottom of the ocean for a long time and not understand the situation?”
Veins bulged on Bai Jian’s arm. His aura trembled continuously, but it was on the verge of erupting.
He asked coldly, “Who are you?”
“Me?”
Li Changshou smiled and placed his hands behind his back. He looked at Bai Jian from the corner of his eyes and continued to tease the ancient general’s heartstrings.
“Second-order righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts. The Jade Emperor personally conferred the title of Lord Taibai Jinxing. He is in charge of reform and killing.”
Quan Dong smiled and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, your introduction is too simple. I’m afraid that the followers of the ancient emperor have already treated you as a random immortal of the Heavenly Courts. Wait.”
After saying that, under Li Changshou’s curious, worried, and slightly suspicious gaze, Quan Dong waved his hand not far away. An azure dragon immediately flew out of the sea and turned into an old man with a dragon head.
Li Changshou and Quan Dong had been there for so long. It was impossible for the dragon race to not deal with them.
The dragon-headed elder hurriedly bowed and shouted, “Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Greetings… Marshal Quan!”
Quan Dong nodded in satisfaction and smiled. “Tell Bai Jian who is in front of him.”
“This…”
Li Changshou, who had wanted to use his aura to suppress others, suddenly felt a subtle sense of shame.
Quan Dong blinked at Li Changshou. The old dragon cleared his throat and shouted at the confused Bai Jian.
“Ha!”
Bai Jian was quite familiar with the dragon race. Back then, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had dealt with the dragon race a lot. There were also a few dragon ladies and dozens of sea race women in the backyard.
This old dragon should be an elder of the dragon race. His aura is dignified and his Dao realm is profound. He is actually so respectful to this child?
Lord Taibai Jinxing?
Which Lord Taibai Jinxing? I’ve never heard of him.
Bai Jian snorted coldly and was about to speak…
“Baijian, how dare you!”
The old dragon shouted again, as if he had done this many times before.
“The Lord Taibai Jinxing in front of you is of the same race as you! He is the most trusted minister of the Jade Emperor. He is now the overall leader of the order in the Three Realms! In terms of status, you are just a human general. You have lost. Lord Taibai Jinxing has only cultivated for less than a thousand years. The Grand Pure One has taken him in as his second disciple. The Grand Pure One had betrothed Fairy Yun to him. He can go to the Fire Cloud Cave at will and he’s the god of the current human emperor! In terms of credit, he had personally eliminated the remaining demons. Countless negative karma demons had died in his hands! The immortals of the South Continent had bullied mortals for a long time. It had also ended in his hands! The Demon Master Kun Peng had calculated for him and could no longer cause trouble. He had personally killed the young prince of the demon race and destroyed the destiny of the demon race! The South Continent has been in chaos for a long time. The mortals were suffering. It was also designed by Lord Taibai Jinxing to support the current emperor. Even a general like you can’t compare to him! He was invited by Human Emperor Xuanyuan to come here to meet you!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Forget it. Let’s be thick-skinned. After all, this old dragon is also kind.
When he looked at Bai Jian, he was shocked and puzzled. He stared at Li Changshou’s face and did not know how to advance or retreat.
Unexpectedly, the old dragon did not stop talking. He did not know if it was because he was too excited or because it wanted to take the opportunity to win Li Changshou’s favor.
“Bai Jian, do you know!?! This Lord Changgeng is peerless in schemes and wisdom. He assisted the Jade Emperor and divided the boundaries of the six paths. He had been beaten by the Dao Ancestor in the Purple Cloud Palace because he was speaking up for the human race! In the Primordial World, who doesn’t know about him? The Heavenly Courts’ Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng, protects the human race thoroughly. Who would dare to harm mortals now? Now that the Great Tribulation has descended, the Saint’s sect had entered the Tribulation. Lord Taibai Jinxing is the one who is in charge of the Tribulation. He personally came here to enlighten you and give you a chance. Yet, you’re still so arrogant… Why? Are you going to shout at me as a senior of the human race? You really don’t know how to appreciate favors!”
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He felt that the old dragon was definitely a promising talent.
Bai Jian was originally a little frightened by his name and deeds, but when the old dragon said those last two words, he was angered.
That should have been done on purpose by the old dragon to give Li Changshou a chance to be fair.
Having an old man at home is like having a treasure. The dragon race really sits in the treasure vault, but the younger generation is degrading themselves…
At that moment, Bai Jian’s face turned pale. There seemed to be more black smoke around him.
He looked at Li Changshou. There was no anger in his eyes, but there was still indignation. He immediately made up his mind and said a few harsh words.
Li Changshou sighed softly and looked helpless.
He said, “Elder, your words are a little too exaggerated. I only did what human disciples should do. Moreover, when facing the seniors of the human race, I should have sent a letter before greeting them.”
Li Changshou paused and looked ashamed. He cupped his hands at Bai Jian and said, “It’s also because of the Grand Pure One’s favoritism and the Jade Emperor’s appreciation that I have so much undeserved reputation today. However, in the end, it is just a superficial title. Previously, I had been welcomed by many immortals around me. I felt a little unstable and lacked the respect I should have for Seniors. I’ll apologize to Senior Bai Jian first.”
Quan Dong looked at the sky with a smile.
Here it comes. Changgeng’s thousand-layer cake is here.
Bai Jian’s expression softened slightly. He said calmly, “If you had such an attitude, I wouldn’t have refused to meet you. However, you are now a second-rank god of the Heavenly Courts and the personal disciple of the Saint of Ren School. It is reasonable for you to underestimate me, a human general who only has a remnant soul. Forget it, forget it. In the end, the future surpasses the previous. It’s time for my remnant soul to die. I’ll apologize to you. I was blind and offended you just now.”
After saying that, Bai Jian looked up and sighed softly. He actually wanted to give up on suppressing the essence soul fire poison.
“Marshal Bai Jian, don’t be anxious. Please listen to me!”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Now that the Great Tribulation is about to happen, the battle between the three sects is inevitable. However, the Great Tribulation has landed in the mortal world of the South Continent! Marshal, do you know that the human race is now spread across every corner of the South Continent? If a mighty figure fights and loses, more than a million mortals in the South Continent will die!”
“Yes?”
Bai Jian looked concerned and asked softly, “Is that so?”
“That’s the main reason I came to invite the Marshal out of the mountain,” Li Changshou said. “I need the Marshal to help me. I need to do my best to protect the mortals from being killed by the three sects.”
Bai Jian smiled bitterly and said, “I’m just a remnant soul. What can I do?”
Li Changshou’s expression was solemn.
“Marshal Bai Jian, there are actually two reasons why I came today. Firstly, it’s naturally because of Senior Xuanyuan’s request. I naturally respect the ancestors of the human race. Senior Xuanyuan has spoken. I can help you, Marshal. No matter how difficult it is, I have to help! Secondly, it’s because you are only left with a remnant soul. I want to establish the God-Conferment Platform and use the God-Conferment Platform to activate the power of the Heavenly Dao to protect various parts of the South Continent. I want to set the rules of this Great Tribulation and divide the regions of the battle. The battle between immortals and gods would have restrictions. Then, they would formulate a few fine rules so that they would not kill the innocent. The God-Conferment Platform lacks a Guardian Genera that has to be a primordial spirit. If the current experts of the human race were to take on the responsibility, it would be equivalent to harming their lives. However, Marshal Bai Jian, you can use this opportunity to escape the trap of the fire poison and become the Guardian General that protects the God-Conferment Platform. Moreover, after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Marshal, you can become an official in the Heavenly Courts… If the human race can have more authority in the Heavenly Courts, the Marshal’s contributions to the human race will definitely be spread throughout the world and be recited for the world.”
Bai Jian frowned and seemed to be in deep thought.
Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee on the sea.
“I, Bai Jian, am willing to work for Lord Taibai Jinxing! As long as this remnant soul still has some heat, I will let you arrange it!”
Li Changshou nodded slowly and looked at Quan Dong. He hurriedly helped Bai Jian up…
Hence, half a day later.
Below the Middle Heavenly Gate, on the Immortal Island, which had originally been erected with the words’ Rumor Crushing Monument ‘, a newly born Golden Light Divine General carried a huge rock and began to build a square platform.
He was full of energy and determination. His heart was filled with glory.
Lord Taibai Jinxing is right.
I have to personally set up the God-Conferment Platform. Otherwise, I will never be at ease. Every stone has to be built by me.
Gaining fame in the world is no longer important!
Am I, Bai Jian, a person who covets fame? Do I care about those things?
He wanted to make use of his remaining strength to continue doing something practical for the human race. He had never thought of such an exaggerated situation where people cheered for him and called him a true hero!
Speaking of which, Lord Taibai Jinxing is really an extraordinary person. He’s admirable and…
“Heh, heh.”
