Chapter 313 The Great Daoist Master’s Return, The Three-Immortal Island Gives Peaches
As soon as General Dongmu finished speaking, a Heavenly Soldier outside the Sea G.o.d’s Residence left the formation and jumped into the sect.
The soldier lowered his head and walked forward quickly. He was wearing a silver helmet and battle armor. From afar, he looked no different from a man, except that he was slightly shorter.
When she got closer, she cupped her fists and bowed to Li Changshou and General Dongmu. She lowered her head and slowly raised it, revealing a puerile and young face.
She was a young girl in her prime who would only look thirteen or fourteen years old if she was placed among mortals.
The moment she spoke, her voice was clear.
“Greetings, General Dongmu and the Sea G.o.d!”
“Your Highness, you’re too polite.” Li Changshou smiled and bowed.
Although Long Ji was the daughter of the Jade Emperor and the Princess of the Heavenly Courts, she did not have a Deity Position in the Heavenly Courts. She could be considered the Jade Emperor’s “family member”. It was reasonable for him to present such a gift.
Li Changshou felt emotional.
After the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, Long Ji would become Hong Luan Xing. She was another person related to the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.
He and the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation could not be cut off, and his mind was in a mess…
Li Changshou thought about it and some memories related to Long Ji came. After some deductions, he sorted out the information he knew.
During the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, Long Ji was an expert with high Dharma powers. She stood on the Chan School’s side and took the initiative to help King Wu of Zhou.
Long Ji was originally the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor. It was said that she had been banished to the mortal world to cultivate because she had made a mistake. Li Changshou could not remember the relevant battle results clearly. He only remembered that she had been persuaded by an immortal and Elder Moon to marry one of her defeated enemies.
Her defeated opponent was a useless pretty boy. His name was Hong Jin or something.
According to Li Changshou’s understanding of Elder Moon, the reason Elder Moon could do such a heartless thing was definitely because someone or a force was plotting against him.
That was all Li Changshou knew about Long Ji. General Dongmu said, “Your Highness Long Ji, why don’t you reveal your true appearance and wors.h.i.+p the Sea G.o.d as your teacher?”
“Yes,” Princess Long Ji replied softly. A faint immortal fog appeared around her.
When the immortal fog dissipated, the armor on her body disappeared and turned into a light white dress. Her black hair cascaded down.
At that moment, Long Ji was shorter than before, and her body was much thinner. She could be described as cute.
Li Changshou took a closer look. She was really a young girl who had just entered p.u.b.erty.
However, come to think of it, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are both Connate lifeforms. Is their daughter’s growth cycle counted by years or hundreds of thousands of years?
Princess Long Ji should be at least a few thousand years old, right?
If she still looks like a young girl during the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, wouldn’t Elder Moon, that immortal, and that Hong Jin… be committing a crime?
Yes, as an ordinary minister trusted by the Jade Emperor, he had to quickly come up with a complete set of Heavenly Laws.
The young girl, Long Ji, walked forward and bowed to Li Changshou. She said respectfully, “Greetings, Teacher.”
“Hey, don’t call me Teacher. I can’t accept this karma easily.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Since Your Highness wants to discuss strategies with me, I will be thick-skinned and accept this task. However, Princess, you can just call me the Sea G.o.d. Don’t call me Teacher.”
Long Ji could not help but look at General Dongmu. The latter smiled and nodded. She felt that Li Changshou was just being humble.
Actually, he was really afraid.
General Dongmu smiled and said, “You can do whatever you want, Sea G.o.d.”
Princess Long Ji immediately shouted, “Sea G.o.d!”
Li Changshou smiled in satisfaction and took out a few bottles of pills from his sleeve as a greeting gift for her.
He originally thought that Princess Long Ji had only come to greet him and go through the formalities. However, he did not expect that after General Dongmu left with his people…
The princess stood in the corner of the Sea G.o.d’s Residence and looked around curiously. She exuded spirituality. “Your Highness, you?” Li Changshou looked puzzled.
“Mother asked me to learn more from you, Sea G.o.d.” The young girl smiled and blinked, looking a little sly. “Sea G.o.d, can I stay here?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Your Highness, to be honest, I am just an incarnation here. Most of the time, this incarnation is cultivating. It’s very boring.”
“Sea G.o.d, don’t worry. I want to cultivate too!”
Long Ji smiled and said, “Since Mother asked me to follow the Sea G.o.d, I naturally have to follow her orders. Sea G.o.d, if you want to go out or do something, you can bring me along. If it is not convenient, just pretend that I’m not present. I’m here to be the child beside you, Sea G.o.d. It’s fine for me to run errands. I will not cause karma and trouble for you, Sea G.o.d. I will not embarra.s.s the Heavenly Courts.”
Li Changshou could not help but praise her in his head.
The princess was polite in every word she said and her actions. She carried herself well, was elegant, natural, humble and restrained. She was indeed a good seedling. She lived up to the bloodline of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you go to the Jade Pool to prepare and come to see me tomorrow morning? I will set off tomorrow to visit the experts of the three sects and the dragon king of the dragon race. Your Highness, let’s walk around together and form some good karma.” “Thank you, Sea G.o.d!”
Long Ji was overjoyed when she heard that. She did not insist on staying in the Sea G.o.d Residence.
After sending Long Ji off, Li Changshou could not help but ponder.
What does His Majesty… mean?
If he used the elimination method, he would first eliminate the most absurd possibility, the Beauty Scheme.
The Jade Emperor was the ruler of the Three Realms, and with the support of the Purple Cloud Palace, why would he arrange for his precious daughter to plot against a little Sea G.o.d like him?
Secondly, he had to eliminate the option of ‘Inspector’. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother would not do that.
On the other hand, the reason that General Dongmu said was the most credible. Her Highness was there to learn how to devise schemes and strategies.
However, how should I teach her how to devise schemes and strategies? I, Li Changshou, am just a little more stable in handling matters. I would think about it a little more and make more preparations. I don’t have any strong points that I can teach others.
He could not teach Princess Long Ji the method of thinking and visualization, and nurture her ability to divert her attention and mult.i.tasking..
Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair and felt a little troubled. In the end, he could only change his mind.
I should just treat this princess as a supervisor.
That made it easier for Li Changshou to accept it. Moreover, as the Sea G.o.d, he had nothing to hide.
Hence, the next morning… Just as Li Changshou’s attention landed on the paper effigy of the Sea G.o.d’s Residence, he realized that a thin figure was standing outside the Sea G.o.d’s Residence. It was naturally Long
Ji.
She tied a cloth bag to her head to hide her hair, and changed into a lightweight white Daoist robe and cloth boots. She looked a little like a Dao Child.
Li Changshou stood up and walked out of the residence. The young girl outside the door hurriedly turned around.
“Have you been waiting, Your Highness?” “Long Ji greets the Sea G.o.d!” Long Ji bowed and said, “Sea G.o.d, please call me Long Ji. You said yesterday that from today onwards, I will be your Dao child.” “I shall do so then.”
Li Changshou chuckled and handed the horsetail whisk over.
Long Ji immediately walked forward and held the horsetail whisk with both hands. She held it in her arms and followed behind Li Changshou.
Li Changshou waved his sleeve and a white cloud rose. Then, he led Long Ji towards the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace.
Yesterday, Li Changshou thought for a long time and decided to give the Immortal Peaches to the Great Daoist Master so that he could “distribute” it.
Although it was a small matter, he could not stay there casually.
However, what Li Changshou did not expect was that… the Great Daoist Master was not sleeping in the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace, ahem, he was not cultivating!
In the front courtyard of the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace, Little Gold smiled and said, “The Great Daoist Master has returned to see the Grand Pure One. He said that he has something to report to the Saint.”
Little Silver also said from the side, “Elder Lord rode a cow out a few days ago and is not in the palace. “Senior Brother Changgeng, do you have any difficulties? The two of us can help you!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Help? Should I take a few treasures from the Grand Supreme Elder and go down to call the monkey ‘Walker Sun?
“It’s not an issue.” Li Changshou smiled and took out a brocade box from his chest pocket. He smiled and said, “The Queen Mother sent some immortal peaches to the Three Schools of Dao Sect. I specially sent them over. There are thirty-six immortal peaches inside. Don’t eat them secretly. When the Great Daoist Master returns, he will reward you.”
“Okay!”
Little Jin nodded and agreed. He did not think much of it.
In the first few thousand years that the Heavenly Courts and the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace had first been established, the fairies would send some immortal peaches over every now and then.
Later, he got sick of eating peaches and fed them to the green bull.
Then, Li Changshou bade farewell with Long Ji and rode a cloud towards the East Heaven Gate. Princess Long Ji pondered for a while and took out a jade token. She wrote something on it.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “What did you
write?”
“Sea G.o.d, please take a look.”
Princess Long Ji handed the jade token over. Li Changshou looked at it and could not help but chuckle.
Princess Long Ji had actually recorded everything that he had said to Little Gold and Little Silver. She had also written a short comment.
The comments was:
“Today, the Sea G.o.d entered the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace to look for the Great Daoist Master. He wanted to hand the immortal peaches that my mother gave him to the Great Daoist Master to handle. Although this is a small matter, I saw that the Sea G.o.d was very cautious. It’s easier said than done.”
Li Changshou handed the jade token back and praised, “It’s easy to read more and learn more. It’s hard to think a lot. I hope you can maintain this habit. In the future, you can support the Heavenly Courts alone.”
Long Ji stuck out the tip of her tongue shyly and blushed. She agreed softly. Li Changshou continued, “Let’s go, let’s go to Golden Ao Island. Outside the Heaven Gate, the Primordial World will still be very dangerous. If you encounter danger, you should protect yourself. I will protect you and help you escape.” “Don’t worry, Sea G.o.d. I will not cause any trouble.”
“Okay.”
Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He brought Long Ji out of Golden Ao Island and headed towards the East Ocean.
Although he wanted to give Long Ji a tuition cla.s.s so that she could have a crash course on the ‘Steadiness Sutra’ and the ‘Theory of Tricks’, it was a secret that he could not reveal.
Moreover, Princess Long Ji’s ident.i.ty was quite sensitive. It was different from Ao Yi’s.
Has the Great Daoist Master gone to meet the Saint?
Li Changshou pondered for a while. If that was the case, he would keep the remaining sixty-four immortal peaches to himself. He would find a chance to bring more than ten back to the Immortal Du Sect and let his master and the others taste them.
Half a day later, Li Changshou rode a cloud and slowly walked in front of Golden Ao Island. A few immortals from Golden Ao Island took the initiative to go out to welcome him.
Long Ji followed Li Changshou as a Dao child. No one paid much attention to her.
Initially, Long Ji was calm. However, she gradually became shocked. Then, she became inexplicably shocked. The way she looked at the Sea G.o.d changed continuously.
Who exactly is this person who has served the Heavenly Courts and supported Father?
Although Long Ji looked young, she had cultivated for a long time. She had read many books in the Jade Pool since she was young and knew all kinds of secrets and legends.
Golden Ao Island was a famous Dao venue in Jie School. There was a path to Green Touring Palace. Many disciples of the Saints usually ignored the Heavenly Courts.
However, the Sea G.o.d had come to Golden Ao Island today. First, the Golden Immortals welcomed him, and then the ten Heavenly Lords invited him to a banquet.
If they had not just come from the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace, Long Ji would have thought that the Sea G.o.d was from Jie School.
When Li Changshou suggested that he wanted to meet the eldest senior brother of Jie School and the eldest disciple of the Grandmaster of Heaven, the senior Daoist Duobao appeared on Golden Ao Island before the ten Heavenly Lords had even agreed. He shouted ‘Brother Sea G.o.d’ and went forward to talk to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou made some small talk and explained his intentions. He also took out a gift from the Heavenly Courts.
Daoist Duobao blinked his eyes and took out an immortal peach. He peeled it open and took a bite of the crystal clear peach flesh. Immediately, his mouth was filled with a refres.h.i.+ng feeling. He snorted softly in pleasure. “This immortal peach is not bad. I’ll leave some for Teacher to taste. As for the rest, we will split them among our fellow disciples. Don’t let the Sea G.o.d and the Heavenly Courts down.”
All the immortals from the Jie Sect agreed.
However, just as Daoist Duobao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something. Just as the G.o.ddess of Golden Light jumped over excitedly and was about to split the peaches, Daoist Duobao said, “Reserve nine more for Brother Sea G.o.d.”
“Yes, Eldest Senior Brother.” The G.o.ddess of Golden Light blinked and could not help but cover her mouth and laugh. “Eldest Senior Brother, are you going to return the favor?”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Senior, that’s not appropriate.”
“What do you mean inappropriate!?!”
Duobao personally took action and took out a numinous-treasure-level jade box from his sleeve. He selected nine peaches of the best quality and of the highest age and placed them in the jade box.
Then, he waved his hand. “How can we not send such delicious peaches to Three-Immortal Island? The Three Xiao Immortals are the pillar of Jie School! Sea G.o.d, let’s go. Please come with me again.” Li Changshou thought about it for a long time. In the end, he smiled and agreed. He brought the jade box along and followed Daoist Duobao to the Three-Immortal Island together with the confused Long Ji.
On the way, Long Ji saw… a certain Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, whom she had heard about in legends. He moved together with the Sea G.o.d and they kept muttering something softly. From time to time, he would even laugh strangely.
At that moment, Long Ji was only shocked because of the wide network of connections that the Sea G.o.d had.
Another hour later, when they arrived at the Three-Immortal Island and met the famous Three Xiao Immortals of Jie School, Long Ji was shocked.
Is this Fairy Yun Xiao really someone who should be in this world?
That was not the main point.
The Sea G.o.d and Fairy Yun Xiao strolled in the forest alone and chatted and laughed. What kind of situation was that? She thought.
Fairy Yun Xiao even personally peeled an immortal peach and handed it to the Sea G.o.d…
Although the Sea G.o.d said that it was only an incarnation and could not taste much, his body accepted it honestly.
The Sea G.o.d and Daoist Duobao…
The Sea G.o.d and Fairy Yun Xiao…
Long Ji pursed her lips and stood in the corner. She listened to the two other big shots who were playing around and quietly took out a jade token to pen down her current thoughts and state of mind.
At the same time, in the Great Scarlet Sky of the Nine-layered Celestial Palace.
The clouds were misty, and immortal light surrounded them. There was nothing, no G.o.d, no immortal, no spirit. There was only a mystery.
In the depths of the clouds, the Great Daoist Master was sitting upright in front of the small hall of a small Daoist temple. There was a smile on his face. He gave off a vibe of… being obedient while not pretending to be young. Not long after, the Great Daoist Master whispered to the hall, “Teacher, what do you think of my suggestion?”
