Chapter 656: Shen Bao, Jiang Gong, Yu Xu, Chen Tang, Li Jing, Lin’er
An outstanding Heavenly Tribulation would be proud of being the nightmare of Qi Refinement cultivators.
Shen Bao’s Heavenly Tribulation was clearly shameless.
It was the scum of Heavenly Tribulations!
It did not care about the hearts of living beings and acted recklessly. It was against its value!
Li Changshou’s paper effigy was hiding in the depths of the ground. His immortal senses were focused on the lightning curtain.
In the beginning, the Heavenly Dao seemed to be a heartless living being that blocked the tiger’s path. Even an envoy like Shen Bao did not get any mercy.
However, the five bolts of lightning had already beaten Shen Bao into an extremely sorry state.
Shen Bao’s Dao Body clearly collapsed. He would definitely not be able to survive the last three Heavenly Tribulations. He would definitely die in the seventh Heavenly Tribulation.
It could not be helped. Shen Bao’s foundation was poor, and his Dao techniques were mixed. Before he transformed, he did not have any special background, nor had he eaten any Spirit Pills or miraculous medicines. He had never encountered a Primordial World big shot who had shouted, “I don’t want to live anymore” and insisted on sacrificing himself.
In fact, Shen Bao did not know why he had accidentally walked to the Longevity Tribulation.
In the face of the violent Heavenly Tribulation, Shen Bao lowered his head and sighed. His eyes were filled with despair. Then…
He recited a poem.
“Half on my life is bumpy, and the other half is idle. It’s difficult to become an empty immortal. I’m unlucky to have a close friend. I’m lonely and sad.”
Shen Bao smiled in relief. At that moment, he overcame his mental demons and welcomed his destruction.
Everyone knew that living beings were different from each other. However, there were “flashbacks” before facing a desperate situation.
In the extreme despair, images flashed across Shen Bao’s heart…
He had chatted and drank with Brother Geng Chang a few times.
He had met Senior Lu Ya a few times.
What was left was the beautiful and happy time between a man and a woman, the kind that had happened countless times…
Now, there were only a few bitter laughs.
“Miao Miao!”
Shen Bao suddenly shouted at the Tribulation Cloud, “Thank you for your care! I can only repay you in my next life!”
If he died in the calamity, there would be a next life.
Shen Bao closed his eyes. Tears streaked across his face as he prepared his final Dharma powers. Although he was in despair, his natural instincts made him want to struggle.
At the same time, he had destroyed all of his previous small numinous treasures while resisting the Heavenly Tribulation.
Boom! Boom!
The Tribulation Cloud trembled!
The sixth one arrived as scheduled!
Shen Bao opened his eyes. His grayish-white hair fluttered behind him. His seemingly honest face was numb.
At this moment!
The scene that almost made Li Changshou curse appeared.
The Tribulation Cloud that was originally spinning at high speed suddenly swept inwards. Two purple-red lightning balls seeped out from it. Each of them contained a rather powerful Heavenly Tribulation power and suddenly smashed down.
When they landed in midair, the two lightning balls suddenly collided and exploded into electric arcs without any warning.
What is an envoy of the Great Tribulation?
That was the Great Tribulation Emissary!
The Heavenly Dao openly cheated, highlighting a boldness!
Shen Bao was stunned. The Tribulation Cloud above his head shrunk at a visible speed.
He made some deductions in his heart and his eyes lit up. He shouted in surprise, “Could it be that I can pass!?!”
With a cracking sound, a bolt of purple-black lightning engulfed Shen Bao’s body, causing him to lower his head and vomit blood. Black cracks appeared everywhere on his Dao Body.
That was the sign that his Dao base was about to collapse.
The light in Shen Bao’s eyes immediately dimmed. He did not consider why there was only such a short interval between the sixth and seventh bolt of lightning.
At the same time, his Heavenly Tribulation seemed to only have a little mental demons. It did not have any “materials” like the Heavenly Wind of Annihilation, the flames of living beings, or the Dao Integration Divine Water.
“Indeed, you still want to live. It’s all bubbles. It’s just a momentary flame.”
Shen Bao smiled bitterly and sighed. He quietly welcomed his final fate.
It was over for him!
Buzz…
A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the Tribulation Cloud. Two bolts of black and white lightning struck!
It looked powerful and had the Dao runes of Yin-Yang Obliteration. However, the two bolts of lightning canceled each other out above Shen Bao’s head. There was only a little impact, causing Shen Bao to fall miserably.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The black leopard was speechless.
The surrounding living beings were speechless.
Shen Bao was still a little stunned. After careful calculation, the black and white tribulation lightning seemed to be… probably… the eighth bolt?
“Have I passed?”
At this moment!
The Tribulation Cloud above his head continuously gathered and slowly condensed into a huge lightning ball. It was more than ten thousand feet in diameter. Without any explanation, it smashed towards Shen Bao.
At that time, Shen Bao was extremely afraid. However, he was also numb. He allowed himself to be devoured by the Thunder Tribulation and even opened his arms.
A tear slowly rolled down from the corner of his eye.
Li Changshou knew Shen Bao quite well. After all, he had drunk a few times and chatted with him a few times. Shen Bao had said the words that he wanted to say dozens of times.
Li Changshou seemed to have heard Shen Bao’s inner voice. It was a sorrowful sigh.
“Damn it, give me a quick death.”
Underground, Li Changshou’s paper effigy took out a jade slip and wrote lines of words.
This was an irregular Heavenly Tribulation. It was evidence of the existence of the Heavenly Dao’s will. At the same time, it also reflected a certain mechanism of operation of the Heavenly Dao, as well as the positive feedback that Shen Bao, the envoy of the Great Tribulation, had repeatedly given.
Clearly, Shen Bao had something related to the essence of the Heavenly Dao. Or rather, the Heavenly Dao had created Shen Bao, the messenger of the Great Tribulation who was in charge of pulling Jie School into the calamity.
An hour later, the lightning dissipated, and a charred body fell from the sky.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He naturally discovered a wisp of vitality in Shen Bao’s body…
Attack?
Or not?
Not far away, a few streams of light flew up. It was a few itinerant cultivators who were here to fish out the treasures.
Li Changshou pondered for a while. The paper effigy moved closer underground. However, just as he was about to move, he heard a loud cry that streaked across the sky.
A white crane flew down from the sky and transformed into a white rainbow. It quickly caught up to the seriously injured Shen Bao and grabbed him. It left a cold snort and turned back towards Kunlun Mountain.
“Don’t seek your own death.”
The White Crane Child, the messenger of Chan School, and the child of the Old Man of the South Pole.
The few itinerant cultivators who wanted to move forward looked at each other. They quickly lowered their heads and flew away from this troublesome place.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy used an escape technique and left quietly. He pondered for a while.
Shen Bao’s identity as the envoy of the Great Tribulation should have been discovered by the Saints. After all, the hint given by the Heavenly Dao this time was extremely obvious.
On the Grandmaster of Heaven’s side, he either did not pay attention to that place or sent someone out. However, he was quite far away and was beaten up by the white crane boy.
Shen Bao had returned to Kunlun Mountain. Next, he should be acknowledging Second Uncle-Master.
This seemed to be the script for the Heavenly Dao to restrain and maintain the original Great Tribulation. In fact, there were many differences.
Due to his “delay”, the time that his master reincarnated into Jiang Ziya, had been postponed.
During his conversation with Shen Bao, he had secretly given Shen Bao many pointers on cultivation and sped up Shen Bao’s Tribulation Transcendence.
That made it difficult
Shen Bao might become Jiang Shang’s senior brother.
No matter what, Jiang Shang’s age had changed.
Although the changes were small, they could become the wings of the flashing butterflies. Those were just one of the many butterflies.
On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou’s attention returned. He could not help but purse his lips.
Who is the Heavenly Dao’s favorite “son”? There should be no objections now, right?
Of course, it was the Jade Emperor.
…
Shen Bao returned to Kunlun Mountain. Li Changshou immediately placed his attention on his old master’s reincarnation.
As expected,
Second Uncle-Master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, seemed to have seen through the heavenly secrets. He received a reminder from the Heavenly Dao to control the two Great Tribulation Emissaries. The next day, he sent the Old Man of the South Pole to the Jiang Family of the South Continent.
At that moment, Jiang Shang was middle-aged. His family was beautiful. His son inherited his father’s aspirations and his family was prosperous. He had no children.
For that, Jiang Shang had opened the floodgates of taking in concubines. There were a total of 32 concubines. They worked hard day and night to continue the bloodline of the family.
His perseverance and determination were touching!
Li Changshou could not comment on that matter.
He had looked for Elder Moon back then and only arranged three marriages for his master with ordinary beauties.
However, he did not expect…
This wave was very strong.
In fact, if Li Changshou had not disguised himself as the chef of the Jiang Residence all these years and had been secretly making some pills to strengthen Jiang Shang’s foundation, Jiang Shang would have long been drained by wine and lust!
However, on the other hand, Jiang Shang had experienced the glory and wealth of the mortal world. Perhaps it would be of great help to his mental state of cultivation.
At the same time, the fairy from the Goddess’s Palace deliberately transformed into an old woman in order to avoid being fancied.
That day, the Old Man of the South Pole rode a cloud and floated above the Jiang Residence. He observed Jiang Shang, who was taking a cold nap in the courtyard, and slowly landed.
In an instant, immortal light flashed and hundreds of birds chirped. Wisps of immortal Dao runes spread out, causing the mortals in the residence to be stunned at first. Then, they hurriedly lowered their heads and worshiped.
“Immortal!”
“The Peach Immortal has descended to the mortal world!”
Jiang Shang was woken up by the surrounding shouts. He was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly stood up and bowed to the Old Man of the South Pole.
The Old Man of the South Pole raised his hand and helped Jiang Shang up.
“Jiang Shang, your mortal fate is over. Your immortal fate has arrived. Why don’t you quickly return to the Jade Void Palace with me? Do you want to live freely?”
Jiang Shang could not help but be stunned. At first, he was overjoyed. He took two steps forward and heard a soft voice from the side.
“Master ~”
“Husband!”
Jiang Shang stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the side courtyard. He saw the beauties rushing over when they heard the news. Their eyes were filled with tears.
“Well…”
Jiang Shang looked hesitant. He turned around and asked the Old Man of the South Pole, “If my mortal ties are gone, how about my wife?”
The Old Man of the South Pole smiled and said, “The Jade Void Palace is the Saint’s Dao venue. The place where one cultivates cannot accommodate the feelings of the mortal couple. However, you only need to follow me. I will send disciples to settle the matters in your home. The mortal world is like a dream. Decades pass in the blink of an eye. If one is greedy for a moment of joy, how could it be eternal? Why don’t we seek immortality and seek true happiness?”
When the beauties heard that, they recalled that their husband and backer were about to leave them. They could not help but feel sad. All of them cried and could not bear to leave.
“T-this…”
Jiang Shang hesitated for a moment. The Old Man of the South Pole smiled and waited for Jiang Shang to make a choice.
If the Jade Void Palace took the initiative to recruit disciples and used force, they would be gossiped about.
Moreover, Jiang Shang’s identity was special. He had to be cautious.
“Master! Master!”
A shout came from the side. A burly man ran in with a kitchen knife. It was the golden chef of the Jiang Residence.
The Old Man of the South Pole smiled.
The “head chef” smiled and said, “Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the immortal opportunity. Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the immortal opportunity. From now on, you will live forever and be blessed!”
Jiang Shang frowned and sighed. He turned around and bowed to the Old Man of the South Pole.
“Immortal, can you let me think about this? This is not being disrespectful to an immortal. It’s just that it’s hard for me to let go of my family.”
“Hey, is that difficult?”
The “head chef” muttered, “Master, if you go to cultivate, you will have no children. You won’t be able to use the mortal gold and silver treasures. Why don’t you give us five to ten years of salary? We will sell the houses and businesses. We will split the family assets into 32 portions. We will take the wives and concubines.
It can’t be helped, we will part on good terms.”
Jiang Shang stomped his feet and scolded, “Nonsense! My wives are so loving to me. How can we use the wealth of the family to measure the deep affection between us!?!”
“This… is not impossible,” muttered a voice from the corner.
The women stopped crying and looked at Jiang Shang with shining eyes.
“Master, immortal destiny is not easy. Don’t miss it.”
“Although I can’t bear to part with Master, I know that this is Master’s great fortune. How can I use mortal feelings to restrain Master? That would be a huge sin.”
“Isn’t there a saying that fans are like skeletons? Master, we are all skeletons. Don’t worry.”
Jiang Shang was speechless.
Hence, half a month later.
As the plaque of the Jiang Residence was slowly removed, only a few burly men were moving the furniture.
In the past, the flowers were red and green. Now, there was only one lamp left and the grass was luxuriant.
“Ah.”
Jiang Shang sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the empty white cloud in front of him. He was steadily held back by the white cloud and slowly rose into the sky, leaving the mortals to kowtow and shout.
Outside the city, on a donkey cart, the head chef of the Jiang Residence walked away with an old woman.
When it was deserted, immortal light circulated around the old woman and she turned into a beautiful fairy.
The head chef slowly transformed into the face of the middle-aged Daoist that Li Changshou often used.
The fairy first chuckled and sighed.
“The feelings of mortals are really unpredictable. Previously, they were loving and intimate. They were jealous of each other and were angry. In the end, they only hugged some gold and silver and went their separate ways. They were quite happy. ”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “A few of them are really sad. They are just covered up by the joy of more people.”
“I still find it difficult to accept.”
The fairy stood up and smiled. “Lord Taibai Jinxing, why did you tacitly allow Chan School to take in disciples? Previously, when Fellow Daoist Guang Chengzi came, didn’t you push him back?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother Guang Chengzi is here to represent Chan School. The Old Man of the South Pole is here to represent Second Uncle-Master. I can reject Chan School, but I can’t reject Second Uncle-Master.”
The fairy of Goddess Nuwa’s Palace carefully experienced it and praised the word ‘wonderful’. Then, she sighed and said, “Ah, the Great Tribulation is about to end. The living beings will be plunged into misery and suffering… I will return to the Goddess’s Palace to report.”
“Thank you for protecting Jiang Shang. Please convey my gratitude to the Goddess.”
“You’re welcome.”
The fairy bowed and her figure turned into sparkles of light that quietly exploded. It was a rather brilliant escape technique.
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. He carefully sensed the fluctuations of the power of the five elements and the slight disturbances in the universe. After a while, he nodded.
Yes, it was ordinary and useless.
He looked up and saw that Jiang Shang had already flown to the sky and met up with the Old Man of the South Pole. After bowing to each other, they headed towards Kunlun Mountain.
From then on, there was one less wealthy person in the mortal world. There was another Qi Refinement cultivator in the Jade Void Palace. He even said that…
“Before I came to the mountain, I had 32 wives and concubines.”
Li Changshou stretched his legs. The paper effigy and the ox cart turned into dust in the blink of an eye and dissipated with the wind.
Shen Bao, Jiang Shang, returned to the Void. Jie School could not be bothered at all.
In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou frowned slightly and pondered why there was no movement from Jie School.
After Shen Bao was brought back by the White Crane Child, Jiang Shang was already a messenger of the Great Tribulation. The Heavenly Fate of the Great Tribulation was on the two of them. It was impossible that the Saint could not detect it.
Did Third Uncle-Master…
Did he fall asleep in the bath?
Li Changshou scratched his eyebrows. He was a little puzzled, but he did not feel too conflicted.
Just as he wanted to rest for a few days and continue with the complicated schemes, his heart surged. His mind immediately shifted to the East Continent. A paper effigy opened its eyes in the room.
He heard gongs and drums outside. There were shouts of joy.
“She’s giving birth! Madam is giving birth!”
Jin Zha was about to descend.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy blinked and quickly put on a silk short-sleeved shirt. He put on his “high-level servant” wooden sign and calmly walked out of his room.
He had to be the one to announce the news of her going into labor.
It was a small participation.
