Chapter 472 How Can Being Reasonable Be considered Offending a Saint?
Empty?
At the bottom of the sea of blood, they fell into the ruins of a large city. The group of Asura experts had a mental breakdown for no reason. They were angry, sad, and murderous. Their actions became more and more crazy… Li Changshou took advantage of the chaos to touch the fish.
He used the Taiji Painting to melt through the layers of array formations and secretly entered the city.
However, when he carefully probed the situation below, he could not help but frown. There were only clouds formed by spiritual energy below. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Just like the void above the Nine Heavens, when the bottom of the sea of blood was explored downwards, it would also be in the s.p.a.ce outside. Wrong judgment? Li Changshou quickly submerged underwater and
left.
The Asura experts, the complicated array formations in the ruins of the city, and the situation below the city…
It was as if they were trying their best to prove that this place was just a trap that Li Changshou had easily broken with the power of the Lady of Earth’s Seven Emotions incarnations.
In the Glazed PaG.o.da, the experts of the Dao Sect were deep in thought. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “It’s obvious that this place is either a trap for Junior Brother Changgeng or a target to lure us here.”
“Um…”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and hummed softly. He deliberated over his words and said in a low and mellow male voice, “Where should we go next?”
One of them was steady, strong, and elegant. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit answered, “At this moment, the Great Tribulation is approaching and the heavenly secrets are mixed. This sea of blood is not the four seas. There are countless abnormalities and many powerful ferocious beasts hidden. It will not be easy to find the location of the Western Sect’s second return.”
Perfected Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves and smiled. “With Changgeng around, instead of worrying about that, we should worry about how to deal with the Seven Emotions incarnation when it loses control later.”
Perfected Yu Ding frowned and whispered, “Senior Brother, the incarnation of anger has returned to the gra.s.s ring. Can you come down from me first?”
“Huh?”
Perfected Taiyi looked down and smiled awkwardly. He jumped down from Perfected Yu Ding’s left shoulder and raised his hand to sweep Perfected Yu Ding’s shoulder. “I was anxious.”
Daoist Duobao suggested, “Why don’t we split up and search?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, we must not separate.”
Yun Xiao said, “Just now, the Lady of Earth had already said that the Saint had taken action to activate the Great Dao of Reincarnation. The Saint might not be able to do anything, but he is currently guarding a vital spot.
“Chang… He invited us here to deal with this situation. If we separate, won’t we be attacked by the Western Sect?”
Zhao Gongming said seriously, “Eldest Senior Brother, my Second Sister is right.”
“How can that be wrong? He must be right!” Daoist Duobao hurriedly said, “I was careless just now. Junior Sister, don’t blame me.” Perfected Taiyi could not help but laugh. “We both have our own teachings.”
The four experts of Jie School frowned and looked over. Perfected Taiyi’s legs turned weak. Fortunately, Perfected Huang Long, who was at the side, spoke in time. He smiled and changed the topic, talking about how to deal with the subsequent matters…
The immortals discussed for a while, but they did not have any other effective methods. Perfected Huang Long asked again, “Why is Junior Brother Changgeng still sinking?”
“Don’t disturb him first. Changgeng should be thinking about the future,” Zhao Gongming said. “We can’t put all the burden on Changgeng’s shoulders. Who knows more about the Blood Sea?”
Perfected Yu Ding suddenly said, “It’s out.”
Li Changshou had already rushed out of the pure spiritual energy layer. In front of him was a pitch-black void.
His immortal senses were unstoppable and extended on their own. Li Changshou could only sense the incomplete Great Dao imprint and the thin membrane of the world formed by the power of the Heavenly Dao in the depths of the void. According to convention, Li Changshou felt layers of enlightenment in his heart.
He temporarily put it away and carefully chewed it later. He had once ascended to the Nine Heavens and could pluck the sun, moon, and stars with a stretch of his hand.
He had once entered the Netherworld, and the sea of blood had been exhausted.
However, Li Changshou did not turn around and return. Instead, he sat down in the empty darkness and pondered quietly, sorting out the information that he had already obtained. Did the other party really set up a trap? “When you can’t confirm which floor you are on, you either stand on each floor or jump out.”
At that moment, the Western Sect was probably already building a place for reincarnation. They would definitely not give him too much time to stand on every level and search for every possible place to a.n.a.lyze the chances of each possibility appearing.
He could only try to “jump out”.
It was hard to tell if it was real or fake. Putting aside the information that he had deduced, deduced, and imagined, what did he really have? The Western Sect urgently needed to use the Divine Kingdom of Incense and activate the reincarnation again to salvage the situation in the Great Tribulation.
The Great Dao of Reincarnation was shaken. The Asuras of the Blood Sea clearly knew that the Western Sect was about to reincarnate in the Blood Sea.
He had searched all the way and found the “quaking source”. He had sensed the Dao runes of the Saint.
The power of the Seven Emotions incarnation is very useful in group battles… Ahem, that’s not important.
Based on this information, the “source” must be the most important place! After deducing the information, Li Changshou immediately captured the key point. If this city is just a trap, why are there only Asura Clan experts on the surface?
Why is it that there are no Western experts to receive the Asura Clan when there is an obvious abnormality?
It does not make sense.
The Asura Clan does not have many negative karma. They were also one of the three good ones in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Or rather, they were the first three paths. They are a huge race recognized by the Heavenly Dao! If not for the special circ.u.mstances, why would the experts of the Western Sect allow these Asura experts to break through the array formations in the ruined city?
That was a flaw! Li Changshou slowly stood up and looked up. He turned around and looked down at the sea of blood. The spiritual energy became denser as it approached. The “clouds” that filled the sky slowly dispersed. The sea of blood under the “clouds” was like a dark red land.
The Yin-Yang Taiji Painting slowly appeared on Li Changshou’s chest. It reminded in a low voice, “Find out if there are any abnormalities in the universe here. It might be a Cosmic Restriction set up by the Saint. Try not to expose ourselves.”
“Yes,” replied the Taiji Painting calmly. The image of the Taiji Painting in front of Li Changshou’s chest quietly dissipated, turning into two wisps of Yin-Yang aura and disappearing. Soon, an image appeared in Li Changshou’s mind. On the “back” of the ruined city, where Li Changshou had pa.s.sed by previously, there were a few array formations covering each other…
There were faint creases in the universe, as if there was a door that was ajar. Li Changshou sighed softly and circulated in the Glazed PaG.o.da. “Everyone, please be prepared. There should be a Saint guarding this place.” In the paG.o.da, apart from Fairy Yun Xiao’s usual cold expression, there were no changes.
The other big shots either looked enlightened or chuckled. Perfected Huang Long, who was frowning with his hands behind his back, was trying his best to observe the situation outside… What happened?
To be safe, Li Changshou added two more layers of disguise. He did not dare to use the escape technique or disturb the universe. He relied on the cover of the Taiji Painting and slowly approached the abnormality of the universe. Due to the fact that the power of the seven emotions had been restrained, the ruins of the “front” city had quietened down again. A group of Asura Clan experts looked at the array formation that they had personally messed up and the corpses of their companions scattered everywhere…
They were puzzled, shocked, and uneasy. They tensed up and guarded the surroundings of the abandoned hall.
From the beginning to the end, the Asuras did not even see Li Changshou’s shadow. They did not know why they had lost control collectively just now. Many Asura experts even thought that they had been affected by the Great Tribulation…
Is the calamity of the Asura to learn to commit suicide?
The Asuras could no longer take care of themselves. At that moment, they naturally could not count on them to discover the ordinary G.o.ds of authority in the Heavenly Courts who had “returned”.
The Taiji Painting was a Connate Cardinal treasure. It was one of the strongest Connate Cardinal treasures.
As the three-piece set of Split the Heavens, the Taiji Painting already had great power. It was constantly changing and displaying the true meaning of Taiji. Just by placing it in front of the cultivator, it could allow the Qi Refinement cultivators to gain endless insights. The main defense of the Taiji Painting was much stronger than the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da. The offensive treasure that was equally famous as the Taiji Painting was the Pangu Banner in the hands of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
The Pangu Banner could shoot out Chaos Sword Qi. It had the power of the Pangu Divine Ax. If it was wielded by a Saint, it would have the power to kill a Saint.
Of course, if he let the Pangu Banner attack the Taiji Painting… That would really become a fable story.
Li Changshou had a small advantage, which was that he respected his treasure.
At that moment, he did not need to use his meager immortal power to contaminate the boss of the painting. He relied on the Taiji Painting to control it.
He did not want to drag Boss Tu down!
As a result, Li Changshou turned into a mosquito and secretly touched the abnormalities in the universe. He relied on the Taiji Painting to dissolve the universe there. When he entered the Mustard Cosmos Small World from the normal universe…
He did not expose himself at all, and there was no disturbance in his universe!
The logic was simple. In the ranking of the power of deduction in the Primordial World, the Grand Pure One was ranked first, the Taiji Painting was ranked second, and the Saints were ranked third. The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who had the Taiji Painting, was only ranked fourth! In fact, this mustard-seed universe could indeed be considered a completely different world. When the mosquito that Li Changshou transformed into entered the place, it was as if he had entered a long and narrow canyon. From afar, he could vaguely see a towering gray paG.o.da.
The paG.o.da was about ten thousand feet tall and had 360 levels. The sun, moon, and stars were circling around it. The paG.o.da was engraved with the image of ten thousand spirits. At that moment, the paG.o.da had already lit up more than a hundred floors at the bottom. The Great Dao of Reincarnation pierced through everything. Li Changshou immediately understood that if the paG.o.da was completely lit up, it would become a Heavenly Dao treasure!
The methods of Saints were indeed extraordinary.
The mustard-seed universe was indeed not small. The paG.o.da was at least 500 kilometers away from him. There seemed to be two invisible walls on both sides, and there were layers of array formations in front of him…
With the methods of a Saint, he could naturally seal this “small world” completely. However, at that moment, if they wanted the paG.o.da to turn into a Heavenly Dao treasure, they had to maintain a connection with the outside world and be in full contact with the Heavenly Dao. “Be careful, Little Disciple.” The spiritual will of the Taiji Painting sounded in Li Changshou’s heart. “There are many experts hiding in the layers of array formations ahead.” Li Changshou agreed in his heart. He was not in a hurry to move forward. Instead, he was thinking about something…
Small thoughts.
When they saw the array in front of them, the first reaction of ordinary living beings was naturally to charge through step by step. That was the mindset of most living beings. Li Changshou, on the other hand, was stable. He kept discussing with the Taiji Painting in his heart to deduce if there were any other ways to break through the situation…
At this moment, Li Changshou was actually fighting the Saint head-on. Li Changshou could not tolerate himself being rash and impatient. He did not want to really face the Saint. He only had one life. The path ahead was filled with happiness. He did not want to die here. Furthermore…
“Why do we have to barge in?” Li Changshou asked in his heart, “Can the Taiji Painting break the Mustard Seed Cosmos here? As long as we disrupt the universe and expose the tower, this trip will be enough.” The Taiji Painting immediately replied, “Don’t be anxious. Let me take a closer look… If we want to break through this place before the Saint makes a move, we have to find a place where Yin and Yang are balanced.”
Reliable.
Li Changshou continued to hide near the door of the mustard-seed universe. He was prepared to use his strongest escape technique at any time to escape. He did not even dare to use the Wind Speech Incantation, which was a “pa.s.sive receiving” mystical ability. At that moment, in the Glazed PaG.o.da…
“Eh? How did Junior Brother Changgeng discover such exquisite arrangements?” Perfected Huang Long was puzzled. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit smiled and said, “Didn’t I tell you previously? Leave the matter of exhausting your mind to him. We should be preparing for the battle now. I’m afraid we will have to fight a b.l.o.o.d.y battle all the way.” Perfected Taiyi praised, “Changgeng is indeed an outstanding disciple with extremely powerful techniques!”
“Senior Brother,” Perfected Yu Ding suggested sincerely. “Don’t speak too much.”
Immortal Taiyi smiled awkwardly.
Daoist Duobao, who was standing beside the window of the paG.o.da, asked curiously, “Changgeng is moving… Could it be that he wants to hide all the way to the paG.o.da?” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “If that’s the case, wouldn’t we be attacked from both sides once our whereabouts are exposed? I should barge in.”
“Let’s see,” Fairy Yun Xiao said slowly. “He must have made thorough arrangements.”
The immortals nodded.
Putting aside their friends.h.i.+p with Li Changshou, they had gained some trust in him along the way…
Li Changshou, who had transformed into a mosquito, flew to the front of the first array wall. The Taiji Painting appeared in front of the mosquito and rotated gently. When the array formation was not focused, Li Changshou successfully entered it. There was an illusion in the array formation. Li Changshou barged into an elegant forest garden, surrounded by fog. A young Daoist sat on a meditation cus.h.i.+on at the edge of the building. Beside him was a huge green-furred dog. There was a short table and hot tea in front of him.
Ksitigarbha? Li Changshou remained calm and collected. He followed the guidance of the Taiji Painting and rushed towards the next array wall. Suddenly, without any warning, Ksitigarbha said, “Since the Water G.o.d is here, why don’t you have a chat with me? My sect does not want to start a war with the Dao Sect. The three thousand worlds can also be ruled by the Heavenly Courts. These can be discussed.”
The mosquito that Li Changshou had transformed into froze on the spot!
In the paG.o.da, the eight experts invited by Li Changshou picked up their Dharma treasures and stood in front of the exit of the paG.o.da, ready to rush out at any time to kill them! However, Li Changshou was extremely calm. His mind was racing as he a.n.a.lyzed the various possibilities.
Why was he exposed?
Could it be that the Saint of the Western Sect had discovered my whereabouts and informed Ksitigarbha? No, did I really expose myself? He had to be steady and wait for a while longer to deal with the changes. The first level of the array formation fell silent. After a while, Ksitigarbha spoke again. “Since the Water G.o.d is here, why don’t you talk to me? My sect does not want to start a war with the Dao Sect. The three thousand worlds can also be ruled by the Heavenly Courts. These can be discussed.”
It was true that living beings with intelligence were essentially repeaters!
Ksitigarbha…
The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. He did not completely relax and continued to stay where he was.
The tiny mosquito that was wrapped in the Taiji Painting was perfectly integrated into the universe. It could go out of the universe at any time.
The experts in the paG.o.da were speechless.
Perfected Taiyi shook his head. “Ah, another person who has more eyes than hair.” Finally, Li Changshou heard Ksitigarbha repeat the same words three times before confirming that he was not exposed. He secretly rushed to the next array formation.
In the Glazed PaG.o.da, Daoist Duobao took out two conchs and used the same trick again. Everyone heard Ksitigarbha and his mount’s voice again… “Master, stop shouting. This place was set up by the Second Sect Master. The Water G.o.d can’t find this place no matter how much he can.”
“There’s already chaos outside, but the Invincible Track has appeared. It must be the Water G.o.d.”
“Master, you can’t underestimate the experts of the Dao Sect. Didn’t you say that a few experts of the Dao Sect had been invited to Fengdu City by the Water G.o.d?”
“I will not underestimate the strength of the experts of the Dao Sect in the battle. However…” Ksitigarbha paused and flames surged out of his left palm. He warmed the tea in front of him and continued to transmit his voice.
“Only the Water G.o.d can find the disciples of the Saint here.”
Then, Ksitigarbha spoke again. “Since the Water G.o.d is here, why don’t you talk to
me…”
Behind Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener, a mosquito quietly entered the wall of the array formation.
Truth Listener’s ears twitched slightly, but it shook its long tail and pretended not to notice anything.
After a while…
“Master, do you think that the Western Sect will be able to do it? The second round is not that easy to set up. At the crucial moment, the Saint of the Dao Sect will definitely appear to stop us.” Ksitigarbha chuckled and sighed slowly. “The Saint is not destroyed. It’s just a game.”
At the same time, after the first array formation that Ksitigarbha was guarding… Li Changshou easily bypa.s.sed the six old Daoists and slipped into the third array formation at the corner of the array formation. He kept moving forward. According to the detection of the Taiji Painting, there were a total of twelve array formations. One could reach the tower after pa.s.sing through the twelve array formations. The PaG.o.da Master, who had not spoken much, could not help but mutter, “Little Disciple, let’s fight our way through. It’s so magnificent. In the end, as long as we force out the Seven Treasures Tree, we will win this match. What are you afraid of?” Li Changshou replied in his heart, ‘Why do I feel that the experts in each array formation are the guardians of this array formation?’ ‘If I were to design this place, forget about hiding the true path elsewhere, this array formation would only be a feint.’
‘Even the experts placed everywhere only had one purpose…’ ‘To stay on guard.’ ‘If they discovered that an enemy had invaded, they would call out and attack together in a group, hoping to kill them quickly. Why did they have to disperse their power?’ ‘I don’t believe that the Western Sect will let us pa.s.s through one array formation.’ The PaG.o.da Master said, “That makes sense.” The Cosmic Ruler said, “Mistake.” Taiji Painting: “Don’t be distracted. The Little Saint of the Western Sect is in the tower in front.”
Little…
That t.i.tle was quite unique.
Li Changshou silently arrived at the seventh array formation. He stopped flying and landed below, searching for the Yin-Yang balance that the Taiji Painting had mentioned. As long as he broke the balance, the mustard seed would instantly collapse! In the seventh major array formation, a golden hall formed by an illusion array floated in midair. There were twelve Western Sect experts inside, and a few Primordial Beasts were hiding in the dark.
Li Changshou did not bother about them at all. He quietly flew to a corner outside the hall and released the Taiji Painting…
As long as Li Changshou said “Begin”, the Yin and Yang would be connected, and the universe would be reversed. It would be difficult to lose balance and collapse! In the paG.o.da, Li Changshou’s voice was filled with nervousness.
“Everyone, be prepared. The Taiji Painting is about to destroy this Mustard Cosmos. The Saint might directly stop it. Success or failure depends on this crucial step.”
After saying that, Li Changshou looked at the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Merit Treasure Pool that could not condense the Merit Golden Body temporarily. He activated the Clear Dao Heart with all his might and repeatedly confirmed that he was not affected by the calamity.
In fact, it was because of his current position and the Saint behind him that he had no choice but to do
that.
The Taiji Painting urged, “Is Little Disciple well? I can destroy this place at any time.”
“Wait a moment,” Li Changshou replied in his heart. The mosquito relied on the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting and quietly flew to the meditation cus.h.i.+on of a disciple of the Western Saint. He had all his trump cards, the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da, and the Taiji Painting.
The experts in the Glazed PaG.o.da flew out in an instant!
Later on, the Saint’s reaction and what he wanted to do would most likely be to stabilize the Mustard Seed Cosmos…
Is that all? No, it’s not enough… After all, he was facing a Saint. He was not confident because he did not have the Dao Realm of the Great Daoist Master. The Great Dao of Equalization had not grown to the point where it could affect Saints… His teacher had even sent the Taiji Painting over. There was no reason for him not to save him at the crucial moment.
He did not need to be greedy for credit this time. He could just expose the fact that the Western Sect had secretly carried out the second round and he would definitely win…
At most, he would be shameless in front of Yun Xiao. Later, he would immediately shout for his teacher to save him!
How could he interfere in the battle between Saints?
The Taiji Painting urged again, “Are you ready?”
“Alright… I’ll think about it again.”
“Yes, Little Disciple said it’s too late.” The spiritual perception of the Taiji Painting was calm. If it was in human form, it would be calm and expressionless. “It’s done.”
IY d.a.m.n!
Li Changshou’s essence soul trembled. Before he could react, the Mustard Seed Cosmo that the Western Sect had painstakingly set up suddenly trembled violently! Layers of ripples appeared in the universe. The two invisible walls instantly collapsed! Waves of brilliant Great Dao fluctuations surged towards the “small world” like a flood! In the tower, an old Daoist priest who was quietly sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. Golden light surged out from his body. He raised his left hand and pressed it down.
The Mustard Seed Cosmo, which was on the verge of collapse, instantly stopped trembling! The old Daoist priest looked at the location of the Taiji Painting! The array formation there had already collapsed. The hall formed by the illusion dissipated. More than ten figures stood or sat. They were stunned as they stared at the three-feet-wide Taiji Painting. At that moment, the Taiji Painting seemed to have been forcefully suppressed by someone and could not continue spinning… In the end, it was just the power of the treasure itself. There were no experts to activate it. The Taiji Painting trembled slightly. The Yin-Yang Twin Fish on it seemed to have come alive. They turned in the opposite direction and the Mustard Seed Cosmos trembled violently again!
Large tracts of the surroundings began to collapse!
In the tower, the old Daoist priest raised his right hand and pressed it down. The Mustard Seed Cosmos stabilized again!
The power of the Taiji Painting alone was already suppressed by the Saint. That was even when the Taiji Painting was secretly attacking him. The Saint had to deal with it at the last moment! Li Changshou sighed in his heart… Even the Saints who were on the verge of retreating were still so terrifying! The old Daoist priest in the tower snorted coldly. A light gray Dao rune rippled like water and swept towards the Taiji Painting. At that moment, Li Changshou knew that he had to attack today! Otherwise, the situation that he had worked so hard to create would most likely be destroyed here… Near the Taiji Painting, a ray of green light suddenly bloomed and a meditation cus.h.i.+on was sent flying!
The middle-aged Daoist sitting on the meditation cus.h.i.+on widened his eyes. Before he could react, he fell forward.
The bronze ruler flew out and slashed towards the front of the Taiji Painting. The hand that was holding the bronze ruler seemed to have condensed from the void. Then, it was his wrist, arm, shoulder…
The Cosmic Ruler slid down from the top. A Cosmic Crack appeared in front of him, which barely interfered with the Dao runes emitted by Saint Zhun Ti.
Li Changshou’s figure completely appeared. It was naturally the young man’s face that was disguised. He rushed to the back of the Taiji Painting and slapped his right palm in the middle of it! In his heart, he used his greatest courage, his strongest will, and shouted angrily! “Teacher! Help! The balance of the universe is broken!”
Li Changshou’s balanced Dao runes merged into the Taiji Painting. The Taiji Painting suddenly shone with black and white light. The old Daoist priest in the tower seemed to have pressed onto empty air. There was no longer any force in his palms. His body trembled slightly. The Mustard Seed Cosmos collapsed!
The ruins of the Asura Clan above trembled violently. The sea of blood within tens of thousands of kilometers stirred up monstrous waves. A huge Taiji Painting image enveloped thousands of kilometers before immediately dissipating! The ten-thousand-feet-tall Reincarnation PaG.o.da trembled violently. The light on it froze, and the Myriad Spirit statue almost collapsed.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the white-robed Jade Emperor, who was marking the memorials, suddenly stood up. Golden light flowed in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at the depths of the Nine Netherworld. He saw a paG.o.da hanging upside down at the edge of the world! In the depths of the spiritual mountain, beside the Golden Lotus Pool, a thin old man in a loose Daoist robe slowly sighed and did not say anything. In the depths of the Nine Heavens, in the simple and peaceful Great Pure Temple, the old Daoist priest smiled…
In the courtyard near the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the middle-aged Daoist priest, who was lying on the rocking chair, smiled peacefully. In the Chaos Sea, one of the two streams of light that were chasing each other suddenly stopped and turned into a young Daoist.
The young Daoist frowned and looked in the direction of the Primordial World. Then, he looked at the stream of light that had disappeared. The corners of his mouth twitched…
“Why is the Heavenly Dao trembling for no reason!? We might really be able to catch up this time! If I know who is causing trouble, I will kill him with one strike!”
With a few curses, the young Daoist priest flung his elegant hairband and disappeared…
He looked at the source of the tremors, at the bottom of the five continents of the Primordial World. Outside the sea of blood, under the abandoned city!
The old Daoist priest in the tower had a cold expression. He was already wrapped in layers of gray fog. His eyes, which seemed to have seen all the vicissitudes of life, stared at the young Daoist priest behind the Taiji Painting. As the Mustard Seed Cosmo shattered, the array formation dissipated on its own. More than 160 experts from the Western Sect were staring at Li Changshou, who was in the middle. In front of Li Changshou, the Taiji Painting slowly rotated, revealing two shadows that were spinning in opposite directions. They protected Li Changshou’s chest and back. The mark of the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da appeared between Li Changshou’s eyebrows. Layers of Mysterious Yellow aura descended.
“Ss…”
Li Changshou suddenly took a deep breath and raised his hand to rub his chin. He muttered, “Teacher asked me to learn how to use the Taiji Painting to teleport between heaven and earth. Why did I arrive here in the blink of an eye? Could this be… the spiritual mountain? Everyone, continue. Continue with your work. I’m just pa.s.sing by. I’m leaving.” Li Changshou naturally used the Cosmic Ruler to open a crack in front of him. “Please forgive me for disturbing you. How strange. Why did you come to the spiritual mountain?”
After saying that, Li Changshou was about to step into the Cosmic rift. However, just as he raised his foot, the Cosmic rift closed! “Water G.o.d!”
Near the tower, an old Daoist priest with silver-white hair and a tattered robe pointed at Li Changshou and gritted his teeth.
“You still want to leave?”
The surrounding experts were about to charge forward. The pressure of the treasure around Li Changshou erupted, but it made the experts s.h.i.+ver. Connate Cardinal treasure, Taiji Painting! “Fellow Daoists! The mystical abilities have no eyes, but they have eyes. The Dharma treasures are heartless, but I have emotions!” Li Changshou said loudly, “I’m just pa.s.sing by. If I destroy your array formation, I’m willing to pay a portion of spirit stones! Why must you do it?”
The experts of the Western Sect were enraged!
Daoist Wen Jing, who was hiding in the dark, trembled slightly. Her eyes were filled with smiles, but she did not dare to laugh out loud. Li Changshou turned around and looked around. His eyes lit up as he saw Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener at the back of the crowd.
“Daoist Ksitigarbha, long time no see. I miss you.” Ksitigarbha’s forehead was filled with black lines. He said coldly, “Fellow Daoist, you’re really capable. You actually managed to reach this place without anyone noticing.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Thank you for your reminder, Daoist Brother.”
“Water G.o.d, don’t resort to such despicable means.” Ksitigarbha snorted. “I did not discover you. I have a responsibility for letting you sneak into this place with the other senior brothers and junior brothers. Fellow disciples, why don’t we join forces and set up an array formation to trap him here and let the two teachers deal with him?”
Li Changshou stopped smiling and his expression turned solemn. “Daoist Brother, your reaction is really fast. As expected of the disciple of the Western Sect whom I admire the most.”
“You!” Ksitigarbha frowned and shouted. However, before he could finish speaking, Li Changshou interrupted him. “Today, I really accidentally arrived here. I seem to have sensed something.”
Li Changshou turned to look at the tower and sighed. “I never thought that the Western Sect would do such an evil thing! The Great Dao of Reincarnation, the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom… Could it be that you want to imprison the countless living beings whose minds are controlled by you and use the reincarnation technique to forever be your Dharma artifacts to extract merit? Do you all really not feel guilty?”
An old Daoist priest said calmly, “Everyone in the Western Sect is kind and benevolent. The Reincarnation PaG.o.da is just for the sake of living beings who acc.u.mulate merit and kindness. They can reincarnate safely and obtain their blessings.” Li Changshou looked confused. “Who will decide who is benevolent? Who will judge who is kind and benevolent? There are already the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the world. The Heavenly Dao is impartial and there is clear negative karma. According to your words, Fellow Daoist, you are clearly looking down on the Heavenly Dao and ignoring the order of the Heavenly Dao. You intend to use the matter of reincarnation to plot against the Great Luck of Heaven and Earth! Why? All of you are legendary figures of the Western Sect. Could it be that you think that the Heavenly Dao is biased towards the Heavenly Courts and want to use this to shake the foundation of the Heavenly Dao?”
“Enough.” His voice, which was filled with dignity and calmness, slowly floated over from the tower. Clouds appeared around the tower! Golden rays of light appeared in that place. The Saint’s dignity shook the world. The living beings in the sea of blood fell silent. Countless souls in the Netherworld trembled for some reason.
The Saint revealed his Dharma Idol.
Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He had succeeded today. “Disciple of Ren School, Li Changgeng,” said the Aspect of the Saint formed by the clouds. “You deliberately destroyed the opportunities of the Western Sect and tried to escape punishment with your glib tongue. In the past, I thought that you were working for the Heavenly Courts. I had already ordered the disciples to tolerate you. Now that I have seen you with my own eyes, you don’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth. You don’t even take me seriously. I will punish you for not respecting the Saint. Since that’s the case, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Senior Brother Taiqing and suppress you for a thousand years.” After saying that, the Dharma idol slowly raised its left hand and was about to smash Li Changshou.
The image of the Taiji Painting condensed above Li Changshou’s head. Before the image turned solid, Li Changshou shouted, “Hold on!” Before he finished speaking, a cloud suddenly appeared beside him. A golden dipper floated in front of Li Changshou. The clouds condensed into a white-robed fairy. Her face was cold as she stared at the Saint’s Dharma Aspect. Yun Xiao from Jie School. Li Changshou smiled helplessly in his heart. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by her appearance. However, he could only raise his hand and tug at the sleeve of Yun Xiao’s long dress, telling her not to be rash.
“Huh?”
Li Changshou exclaimed softly in his sleeve again. Flowing light flickered inside, and a handsome man in armor, a beard, and a metal whip appeared.
The 24 pearls appeared around them and emitted a bright blue light. Half of the Western Sect disciples around them subconsciously took half a step back! Zhao Gongming of Jie School! Master Zhao said leisurely, “Changgeng, didn’t you say that you would bring me to a good place to drink? Why are we here? Eh? Isn’t this the Second Uncle-Master of the Western Sect?”
As he spoke, Zhao Gongming cupped his hands and shouted, “Uncle-Master, welcome! Eldest Senior Brother, quickly come out and greet Uncle-Master!” “Ahahaha!”
Li Changshou laughed out loud in his sleeve. He saw streams of light flas.h.i.+ng again. Daoist Duobao and Perfected Huang Long flew out together and bowed to the Saint’s Dharma Aspect.
The difference was that Daoist Duobao stood in front of Li Changshou while Perfected Huang Long stood behind him.
Daoist Duobao was holding a jade token that contained the Dao runes of a Saint.
Li Changshou’s sleeve flickered with golden light. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit held a jade scepter in her left hand and a slender sword in her right. At that moment, she only snorted coldly and did not even bother to bow. The Five-colored Divine Light flickered gently. Kong Xuan stood beside Daoist Duobao and bowed slightly to Zhun Ti. His eyes were filled with eagerness as he said calmly, “Kong Xuan of the Phoenix race.” His pride was instantly revealed. At that moment, the left hand that the Saint had raised was slowly retracted, causing the atmosphere to become even more awkward.
That scene was captured by the two figures that flew out of Li Changshou’s sleeve. Perfected Yu Ding stood beside Li Changshou. Just as he was about to bow to Saint Zhun Ti, Perfected Taiyi, who had yet to stabilize himself, raised his hand and bowed. He couldn’t help but blurt something.
“That’s it?”
In an instant, the surroundings fell silent. The Saint’s Dharma Aspect seemed to be expanding…
