Chapter 184 Can You Be Afraid Of The Mighty Figure?
Ah, I remember…
It was a desolate mountain in the eastern edge of the sky before the destruction of the Primordial World. He, who had just succeeded in cultivating his Dao, was running happily under the setting sun. It was a youth that he had long lost.
His first encounter with his three sisters was when they were being surrounded by ferocious beasts. He thought that he was a hero saving the damsels in distress, but… they acknowledged him as their elder brother.
“Fellow Daoist, thank you for taking care of us three sisters. We have finally understood our own Dao today. If you don’t mind, can we address you as Big Brother in the future?”
His first encounter with his teacher was when his teacher was lecturing on the island. When he happened to pa.s.s by, he thought that the other party’s Dao was only so-so, so he discussed the Dao with him. Then… he was beaten up.
“Hahahaha, you’re convinced! Hahaha, I see that your comprehension is not bad. Do you want to become my disciple?”.
“Yes, your Dao has formed. I’ll accept you as an outer sect disciple!”
“How about it? Think about it? There aren’t many people in this world who can defeat
me.”
In the vast span of time, the world was vast.
Have I forgotten? When I first gained sentience, I had a desire to live forever. I wanted to be acknowledged by the heavens and earth.
“Ah, it’s my original intention…”
In the courtyard, Zhao Gongming stood there. His eyes had seen through the distant years. Unknowingly, two drops of tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes. His entire body was surrounded by Dao runes, and he looked relieved.
At such a level, he actually… made another small breakthrough.
Li Changshou could not help but frown. Was his “Great Technique Of Original Intention” that useful to those mighty figures?
At that moment, Yun Xiao, who was at the side, looked at the clouds in the sky and sighed softly. A wisp of Dao runes slowly circled around her.
Although she did not know what her Big Brother’s original intention was, she was still touched. She had taken a small step forward in her Dao Heart realm.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The next time I speak to a mighty figure, can everything be stated clearly?
“Sea G.o.d.” Zhao Gongming turned to look at Li Changshou and bowed deeply. “I understand.”
What… what did he understand?
Fairy Yunxiao sighed softly and turned to look at Li Changshou’s paper effigy that was disguised as an old immortal.

She said gently, “Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist. Please allow us to repay the kindness you have shown us today.” “Bi Xiao, Qiong Xiao, I won’t punish you this time on the account that Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d has put in a good word for you two, but I’ll ground you for nine thousand years.”
Bi Xiao tilted his head and said feebly, “Big Sister, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me…”
“Then why are you kneeling?” Yun Xiao expressed her authority as their big sister and said seriously, “Since you are guilty, there must be a reason.”
Bi Xiao sighed softly. She remained seated and put on the same expression as Qiong Xiao.
At the side, Li Changshou smiled warmly, appearing unfathomable.
Although he did not know what exactly happened, the effect seemed to be unexpectedly good.
In that case, I shall add ‘original intention’ to my verbal trump cards.
Li Changshou was still a little worried and reminded him again.
“Fellow Daoist Gongming, remember not to do this again in the future if it’s not necessary.
There are no two ways about it. At the end of the day, scamming someone is ultimately just bullying the weak. It’s not something that you, an expert of the Dao Sect should be doing.” “Ah, Sea G.o.d, you’ve put in a lot of effort.” Zhao Gongming looked ashamed. “I was too preoccupied with having fun and forgot the truth of the Great Dao. I even asked you to come to Three-Immortal Island. It’s all thanks to you, Fellow Daoist. Otherwise, I would have lost my Dao heart and lost my Dao intent. I would have failed my teacher and let his teachings and expectations of me go in vain.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
There was no need for it to be so serious.
He was only afraid that Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao would do something that would “scare the Mosquito” without anyone knowing. It would cause more trouble for him, the person who had provided Zhao Gongming with the plan to cheat. He glanced at the depressed Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao. Although he felt that there were some hidden dangers, he had done enough today.
It was too much.
The problem was…
Li Changshou looked at Han Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, and his mouth twitched.
What exactly happened? Why is the Second Sect Master’s “almost ex-girlfriend” here?
Why did the Perfected Immortal realm cultivators get involved with two experts who could easily overturn the Zenith Heaven?
What kind of luck is this? What kind of luck is this!?!
However, I think I’m not bad either. I haven’t become a Golden Immortal yet but I’ve already been in the team with the Great Daoist Master of Ren School. I’ve seen a short movie sent by the Saint…
Could it be that Han Zhi is really that toxic immortal Han Zhi? Did she stay on the Three-Immortal Island to cultivate because Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao needed manpower to carry out the scams and so she got acquainted with the Three Xiao Immortals?
Then, if I were to say a few words and take Han Zhi away, wouldn’t the fate of the Three Xiao Immortals be so miserable?
That thought had just appeared in Li Changshou’s mind. Without any hesitation, he dispelled it.
That was not all. He had also dug a hole in his heart and placed the ashes of this thought into it, branding them with eighteen seals.
In a place like the Primordial World, it was difficult to take care of oneself. Being nosy would be courting death.
Furthermore, it was just a coincidental encounter where they scammed Daoist Wen Jing. Yet, the Saint had already sensed that something would change in the future and immediately reacted.
The one who knows Han Zhi is the disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou. It has nothing to do with the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He bowed to Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao. He said, “This matter is over. I won’t stay any longer. I’ll take my leave.” Yun Xiao asked gently, “Fellow Daoist, why don’t you rest before leaving? That way, my sisters and I can act as hosts.”
It was not appropriate to stay there for long. It was full of karma. It was best to escape as soon as possible…
Li Changshou said that he had something important to do.
However, Zhao Gongming said, “My three sisters, I’ll go and send Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d off. I’ll then go back to Mount E’mei to meditate.”
Then, Li Changshou and the big shot bade farewell to the Three Xiao Immortals and left the Three-Immortal Island.
The clouds soared into the sky and sent their Big Brother and the Sea G.o.d out of the five-hundred-kilometer cloud wall.
Before Li Changshou left, Yun Xiao did not forget to send a voice transmission.
“Fellow Daoist, I will definitely repay this favor in the future. You don’t have to worry about anything else. Although my two sisters are naughty, they are not unreasonable. If they have any hatred for you, I will definitely not let them leave Three-Immortal Island.”
Li Changshou sighed in his heart when he heard that. He turned around and looked at the fairy in the clouds.
This is what a normal… leader of the Dao Sect should be like!
She is too compatible with my carefree Great Daoist Master! He could just find an excuse to prevent me from having any thoughts of dying. Li Changshou bowed to Yun Xiao and ended his hurried trip to the Three-Immortal Island.
When Yun Xiao returned to the cloud wall, Zhao Gongming was obviously relieved. Li Changshou was worried that Master Zhao would change his expression and reprimand him. He immediately seized the opportunity to speak.
“Senior, you have harmed me.”
Zhao Gongming was puzzled. He looked at Li Changshou and asked in concern, “What happened?”
Li Changshou gestured for him to keep quiet.
Master Zhao immediately understood. He turned to look at Three-Immortal Island and grabbed the arm of Li Changshou’s paper effigy. Then, he rode a cloud towards the South Continent.
After the two of them left and were fifty thousand kilometers away from the Three-Immortal Island, Zhao Gongming heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately regained his usual heroic aura.
Li Changshou laughed in his heart when he saw that. He had an idea and went to look for Fairy Yunxiao. He had really found the perfect nemesis of Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao! “Fellow Daoist, why are you so afraid of your sister?”
“Can I say that I’m afraid of my sister?” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled. “I’m just a little scared.”
Li Changshou nearly sprained his back. He smiled and asked, “Oh? Why is that? Fellow Daoist, you are the Big Brother.” Zhao Gongming shook his head and said, “It’s mainly because my second sister is too old-fas.h.i.+oned and stubborn. Back when Teacher preached the Dao in Green Touring Palace, she had to question him constantly because of some of the details that were a little vague. Every time she did that, Teacher would be helpless. Although this is also a good thing, sometimes, she doesn’t know how to adapt. She often goes by the book. Moreover, once my second sister decides what to do, she will do it even if it puts her life at risk. She is dedicated to pursuing the Great Dao. In ancient times, her cultivation level was far inferior to mine, but now, her cultivation level is higher than mine. She can even stand on par with Senior Brother Duobao. Very impressive!” Li Changshou nodded slowly. Indeed, there was no perfect person. Yun Xiao’s true personality was indeed a little scary.
Zhao Gongming’s tone changed. He stroked his beard and asked, “Fellow Daoist, did something happen to you just now?” “That’s right.” Li Changshou shook his head. “The people you scammed previously caused many karmas. I was also deeply involved in it and almost could not extricate myself. I’m not in the place to say much about the matter regarding the Ren School. Fellow Daoist, please don’t blame me.”
Zhao Gongming looked guilty. He cupped his fists and bowed to Li Changshou. “I hereby apologize. I never expected you to be implicated!”
Li Changshou hurriedly returned the gesture. “Fellow Daoist, you are my senior. You can’t do this.”
Zhao Gongming said in a serious tone, “No, no, no. We are of the same generation. Why should we differentiate between senior and junior? Fellow Daoist, please don’t embarra.s.s me! We are kindred spirits. It’s also a good thing that we are acquainted with each other! Fellow Daoist, if you still treat me as an outsider, let’s go back to the Three-Immortal Island and let my three sisters bear witness while I formally befriend you. How about that?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
No!
Excuse me, I’ll take my leave. Please forget about us as soon as possible!
Is this future G.o.d of Fortune really naive, or is he trying to take revenge on me?
Did he have to drag me down and make me die miserably on the G.o.d roll?
Especially after experiencing the Three Xiao Immortals’ means and personalities today… I have confirmed that they are ruthless people who had dared to fight against the Saint in a moment of recklessness!
Although Li Changshou admired Yun Xiao very much, he wished that he could get as far away as possible from the Three-Immortal Island and Zhao Gongming…
With a thought, Li Changshou sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist, although I wish to be on
ame level as you, Fairy Yun Xiao is right. The rules are the rules, and seniority still stands.”
Zhao Gongming blinked. “My second sister said that?”
“Yes.”
“This…”
Zhao Gongming pondered for a while and smiled. “How about this? I’ll call you Sea G.o.d in the future. You can call me Senior or Fellow Daoist. In the future, just call me Senior in front of my sister.”
Li Changshou was speechless.
What did Fairy Yunxiao do to Zhao Gongming?
Master Zhao genuinely seems very interesting
Zhao Gongming rode the cloud and sent Li Changshou’s incarnation back to the Sea G.o.d Temple before heading towards the Middle Continent.
Before he left, Zhao Gongming also told Li Changshou where his Cave Abode was. He told Li Changshou to visit his Cave Abode when he was free.
Mount E’mei was an immortal residence of the Primordial World. Zhao Gongming and many other experts lived in seclusion there. It was not the same place as the Mount Ermei that Li Changshou had heard about in his previous life.
Li Changshou sighed as he watched Zhao Gongming leave.
Although the trip to the Three-Immortal Island might have made Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao unhappy with him, it was not a big deal for the two sisters to be displeased with him, compared to letting Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, and Han Zhi continue scamming others.
By complaining, he would at most be beaten up. He would not be killed because of that!
If Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao came looking for him one day, he would become a paper effigy… Li Changshou returned the paper Daoist to the ground. Most of his mind returned to his body. He sat in the corner behind the Immortal Du Sect’s treasure s.h.i.+p and calculated the distance he had to travel to return home. As usual, he would summarize, reflect, and learn from experience…
After the incident, he should be able to maintain a certain distance from Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiao Immortals. There would not be any conflict for the time
being.
He had accidentally learned of Master Zhao’s weakness. He might be able to use it in the future.
Thinking about Han Zhi’s matter again, Li Changshou could not help but feel a sense of amazement…
Perhaps, Han Zhi and the Three Xiao Immortals already had some sort of fate. They had only gotten to know each other beforehand.
Gongming, Three Xiao Immortals…
Yun Xiao is gentle, quiet, and follows the rules.
Qiong Xiao is bold, smart and cunning.
Bi Xiao is cunning and reckless… Zhao Gongming is surprisingly someone who fears his sister…
Putting aside karma and future matters, Li Changshou still felt a little happy.
Originally, he had been worried that after his cultivation level reached a high level, his mentality would change. He was afraid that he would only be able to retain his Dao nature and would not have much fun as a human.
However, Li Changshou did not worry about that anymore after seeing the living examples.
Abilities are different from personalities. It was a blessing to be humane and have emotions. It was a blessing to be able to live forever. Otherwise, he would just be a puppet of the Dao. There would be no fun in it…
Zhao Gongming had three sisters with different personalities. Li Changshou was not envious. After all, he had his own Little Junior Sister.
Forget it, I won’t wait until I return.
He wanted to see what Ling’e was doing first before deciding to give her a reward.
Li Changshou activated the paper effigy beside Ling’e. His immortal senses surrounded Ling’e and he was stunned. Ling’e was actually… she was actually cultivating! Li Changshou could not help but feel a little disappointed. He kept his promise and decided to teach Ling’e the original version of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts technique.
It seemed that he had to plant more spiritual trees in order to expand the scale of the spiritual beast enclosure.
