Chapter 582: Li Changshou’s Battle
Is this what Teacher meant by calling two helpers over?
In the Chaos Sea, the Golden-Winged Roc looked at the dozens of figures that appeared in his perception range. He was speechless.
The Primordial World’s complete Dao law was still affecting this place. The Golden Roc could roughly sense the pa.s.sage of time. It had only been dozens of days and nights. Not only had his main body rushed here, but he had also brought…
Among the eight disciples of Jie School, there were six who were familiar with Perfected Taiyi, Perfected Yu Ding, and Perfected Huang Long. They were Marshal Quan Tong of the Heavenly Courts, nineteen of the ancient Demon Soldiers of the human race, and the disciple of Perfected Yu Ding of Chan School, Yang Jian. There were many Zenith Heaven experts in Jie School.
A few helpers.
Could it be that Teacher thinks that Kun Peng is hiding here?
Previously, the Golden Roc had accidentally discovered the secret place in front of it. It had sensed the aura of living beings and sensed that there were experts hidden inside. Moreover, the Dao runes of the Great Dao were different from Kun Peng.
Li Changshou made a prompt decision and asked the Golden Roc to monitor them from afar. He then went to invite the core members of the fis.h.i.+ng team, who should have only appeared after more than ten years.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
Although the probability was low, Li Changshou had to consider that it might be a trap set by Kun Peng.
At the same time, he could also prepare for the upcoming battle.
While the Golden Roc was still puzzled, Li Changshou, who maintained the appearance of an old immortal, sat on Bai Ze’s back and secretly rushed over with a group of experts.
“Teacher!”
The Golden Roc returned to its human form and cupped its fists at Li Changshou.
“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded slowly. “Is there any movement?”
“Two black shadows entered, but no living beings came out,” the Golden-Winged Roc replied via voice transmission. “I have been watching the changes in the Dao laws here. There has been no complete Cosmic Great Dao, nor is there any conflict between the Great Dao. It seems that a group of Primordial experts hiding in the Chaos Sea are constantly gathering here.”
Communication in the Chaos Sea was a form of telepathic communication.
“You did well,” Li Changshou said warmly. The Golden Roc’s eyes lit up, and he straightened his back.
Numerous figures were hidden in the Chaotic aura. They flew over in groups of two or three. Even in the Chaos Sea, the female immortals of Jie School were still the focus of attention.
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit would naturally not be absent from such fighting and killing. The golden dress that she had not changed out of for ten thousand years had become more and more feminine in recent years.
Master Zhao, who liked to wear armor, became more heroic and powerful.
The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit and the G.o.ddess of Wudang were standing beside her. The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit was still dressed in a fresh-looking set of clothes. She was dressed in a light green short skirt and held a white jade short flute in her hand. Previously, when she rushed to the Xuandu City to help, her mystical abilities had directly suppressed the otherworldly demons. It could be considered a solution to the problem.
The G.o.ddess of Wudang’s temperament was more dignified and stable. She rarely appeared and was rather mysterious.
In fact, if not for the Grandmaster of Heaven’s orders this time, he would have said, “If you have nothing to do, go out and take a stroll with Changgeng. Get rid of some external demons for the world and increase the luck of our sect.” The G.o.ddess of Wudang might not have gone out.
Which of the three sects did not have someone who liked peace?
Li Changshou’s immortal senses had never left his fairy.
Yun Xiao followed beside the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit. Today, she did not wear the white dress that she liked the most. Instead, she changed into a light blue and open long robe. She was wearing a short skirt that was embroidered with clouds on the silk inside. Her long hair was tied up with a Dao hoop, and her waist was hidden in the long robe.
Without the cover of the long dress, her jade-like feet and slender legs were rather eye-catching. However, they were a little inappropriate with her shoes. The top edge of the cloth boots was too long. If it were a pair of high heels with ribbons wrapped around her ankles, it would be more perfect.
It was an immature suggestion.
That’s not right. The Primordial World doesn’t seem to have high heels. Senior Lang only cares about playing cards and has nothing to do. He doesn’t have the beauty elements of the Primordial World.
Then the question is, who has Senior Lang been playing cards with?
“Junior Brother Changgeng.” Daoist Duobao walked forward. “Didn’t you say that you were going to eliminate the other demons this time? Is there a place where the other demons are gathered?”
Li Changshou looked at the Golden Roc. There was no need to say anything else. The Golden Roc formed a hand seal that looked like it was spreading its wings and flying. A wisp of flame flowed past. The same scene appeared in everyone’s hearts.
In the dark and supreme Chaos Sea, a pitch-black immortal mountain that was not too tall floated quietly. There were circular arrays s.h.i.+ning around it, and the incomplete Great Dao interweaving around it.
That was where the Dao laws gathered. The Dao laws were relatively stable, and the array formations…
Yun Xiao asked softly, “This place is identical to the Cave Abode of the old molting of Kun Peng that we discovered previously.”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile and said warmly, “That’s not all. The distance between this place and the Primordial World is the same as Kun Peng Cave Abode last time. They are both at the border of the influence of the Heavenly Dao. This should be the bridgehead where Kun Peng is looking at the Primordial World.”
“Then what are we waiting for?”
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Let’s go up and smash it. If Kun Peng is here, we will go up together. We will not be afraid of him.”
Perfected Taiyi said, “Aren’t you already afraid?”
“Huh?” Master Zhao glared at Perfected Taiyi. The latter smiled and pulled Yang Jian in front of him.
My nephew, the Jade Emperor.
At the side, Quan Dong, who had followed to watch the commotion, said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, there’s no time to lose. Things will change if we delay. Arrange how to attack. I sense that there should be many foreign demons here. We have to capture them all.”
“Marshal, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou looked around and asked in confusion, “Where did Senior Brother Duobao go?”
“Over here!”
A shout came from the bottom of his heart. A huge hole strangely appeared in the Chaos Sea. The walls of the hole were formed by colorful streams of light. They were actually Dao laws.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He could even enter the Chaos Sea?
Daoist Duobao emerged from it and smiled calmly at Li Changshou. He held a golden basin in his hand and carried the air of a Eldest Senior Brother. He smiled at the surrounding G.o.ds.
“I just went to place some small items around the Cave Abode. The situation inside has been discovered. Junior Brothers and Sisters, look over here.”
Daoist Duobao pointed his finger and wisps of clear spring water appeared in the golden basin. After filling the golden basin, a blurry image appeared on the water surface.
In a Cave Abode, there were two figures sitting or standing in various corners. There were more than ten of them, and they each hid their auras.
Bai Ze suddenly sent a voice transmission in Li Changshou’s heart. “Jiu Ying? He’s not dead?”
Alright, there are the ten demon generals of the ancient times mixed in. They are indeed not good people.
Li Changshou said, “Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, can you recognize the figure inside?”
The immortals came over to take a closer look and shook their heads.
Quan Dong closed his eyes and focused. He seemed to be investigating something. Soon, he opened his eyes and said, “They are all ferocious living beings who have escaped from the world. The Heavenly Dao sensed them. They are gathered here. Clearly, they want to return to the Primordial World to cause trouble.”
“Junior Brother Changgeng, just give the orders.” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit frowned and said, “Don’t nag anymore. Who here today doesn’t trust you?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while. His gaze landed on Yun Xiao’s face and he blinked at her.
“Senior Sister, I’ll be the main attacker this time.”
The immortals were stunned. Even Yang Jian, who was “following the group on a mission” for the first time, looked at Li Changshou in confusion.
Perfected Taiyi scoffed. “Did I hear wrongly?”
Zhao Gongming also said, “Changgeng, you will stay in the Middle Corps and command the entire situation. We will do the fighting and killing.”
Li Changshou’s expression was serious. He took two steps back and bowed to everyone.
“Senior Brothers and Sisters, please guard the surroundings and block this place. I’ll barge in once and increase my ability to fight,” Li Changshou said. “Senior Brother Duobao, please take charge of the command this time.”
“What’s wrong?”
Fairy Yun Xiao asked gently, “Why did you suddenly train your fighting skills?”
“I’ve been at ease for too long.”
Li Changshou smiled and looked in the direction of the Cave Abode. His silver-white hair gradually turned black as it danced in the wind. The wrinkles on his face were also smoothed by the immortal light.
He said, “In the end, the Primordial World is about strength. I don’t have many opportunities to attack normally. Now that I have achieved some results in my cultivation, I should focus on improving my abilities in fights of magical powers. It’s a rare opportunity, and my hands are itchy. What if one day, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are not protecting me and I become a cripple?”
“Junior Brother Changgeng, you must be joking.” Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “I know your mystical abilities. There are only a handful of people present who can defeat you. It’s not a bad thing for you to train yourself. Attract their attention first. We can successfully surround them.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Li Changshou cupped his hands and opened his left hand. The Golden Roc beside him held the Spear of Slaughter and walked forward. Li Changshou held the spear tightly and pulled it back.
Yun Xiao said, “Can I go with you?”
“Wait for me outside.”
“Yes.” She did not insist and nodded gently.
Li Changshou looked at the nineteen Demon Soldiers and ordered them to listen to Daoist Duobao’s instructions. Then, he raised his spear and walked forward. Wisps of golden light surrounded him, forming a half-face armor and a golden chain armor.
Quan Dong asked via voice transmission, “Why does Changgeng insist on going alone? Is there a reason?”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry.” Li Changshou turned to look at Quan Dong. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He replied via voice transmission, “No one can guarantee that they will not fall into a dilemma of traveling alone. I should take this opportunity to practice fighting and killing. At least, I can figure out my strength.”
Quan Dong wanted to say something but hesitated. However, Li Changshou’s figure flashed and disappeared into the endless Chaos aura.
Daoist Duobao’s thoughts were transmitted. The immortals immediately moved forward and circled around from different directions. Three or two immortals formed a group and looked after each other.
The Golden-Winged Roc transformed into its main body. Bai Ze, who looked like auspicious beast, stood on Golden Roc’s head. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit and Fairy Yun Xiao stood on the Golden Roc’s back and were the first to arrive at an obstruction location.
Fairy Yun Xiao’s eyes were solemn. As she hid, she focused on preparing for the battle. Her immortal senses stared at Li Changshou, who was neither fast nor slow and was approaching the Cave Abode.
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit was puzzled. “What happened to Changgeng today? Did he get agitated?”
Clearly, she was unhappy that he did not let her attack first.
Fairy Yun Xiao shook her head gently. The Golden Roc also sent a voice transmission to report that he did not know. However, Bai Ze smiled and muttered, “Everyone, do you think that the Water G.o.d has suddenly changed his usual style? He has become a little rash?”
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit replied, “I don’t think so. Changgeng has his reasons for doing things. Among the disciples of the three sects, I’m only convinced of his schemes. Moreover, he invited so many immortals over and sealed all directions to ensure that the demons outside will not escape. This matches his usual style.”
Yun Xiao asked, “Does Mr. Bai know the reason?”
“Actually, the Water G.o.d is just honing his combat skills.” Bai Ze smiled and said, “On the way here, the Water G.o.d asked me to test more than sixty times. They were all either lucky or not. I discussed with the Water G.o.d and felt that this should be a nest of Kun Peng. Since Kun Peng could subdue Connate G.o.dfiends, the Primordial World experts who had escaped into the Chaos Sea should not be able to escape Kun Peng’s extreme speed. Kun Peng is an ambitious person. The ancient experts here are indeed good whetstones. On the way, the Water G.o.d has already vaguely revealed such thoughts.”
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit asked, “Mr. Bai, is Changgeng very compet.i.tive?”
“The Water G.o.d is definitely not someone who likes to fight.” Bai Ze slowly lay down on the Golden Roc’s head. “However, the Water G.o.d mostly plans for the worst. Perhaps in some matters, the worst case scenario was that he would personally go and fight a powerful enemy. That was why he wanted to train his fighting skills. Look, the Water G.o.d is about to attack.”
The Golden Roc immediately fell silent. Four immortal senses pierced through the disorderly Chaos and locked onto Li Changshou.
The Golden-Winged Roc adjusted its position and aimed at the Cave Abode. It could go and help at any time.
To the Golden Roc, the external demons were secondary. His teacher’s safety was the most important.
As soon as he thought of his teacher’s frail old immortal appearance, the Golden Roc felt anxious. His eyes were filled with worry.
In the Chaos Sea, Li Changshou suddenly sped up.
If he had been slow a moment ago, the Dao runes around him would have erupted. A blue stream of light appeared under Li Changshou’s feet. He was like a dragon riding the wind and breaking the waves!
At that moment, Li Changshou stood on the blue stream of light. He looked like when Pangu fought the Connate G.o.dfiends, stepping on the waves of the True Spirit River to sweep the Primordial Chaos.
In the Cave Abode, the experts who were originally observing Li Changshou immediately determined that Li Changshou was an enemy and not a friend. They stood up together.
He took out a weapon. A Dharma treasure appeared behind him, and a mystical ability gathered in his palm!
However, before they could communicate with their spiritual will, the desolate mountain floating in the Chaos Sea suddenly trembled. The dozens of incomplete Great Dao that had gathered there were almost shattered!
In the eyes of the immortals from the Dao Sect who had already successfully landed, Li Changshou was like an arrow that had left the bow and crashed into the desolate mountain.
In the next moment, the shadow of a paG.o.da opened up endless chaos and transformed into a thousand-feet-tall mountain. Wisps of Mysterious Yellow aura spread over and enveloped the desolate mountain.
The Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da of Heaven and Earth did not only have the effect of defense!
At that moment, the Mysterious Yellow aura spread the Chaos and instantly turned the desolate mountain into a cage. If he did not break through the power of the Exquisite PaG.o.da, he would not be able to escape.
However, he could not have the best of both worlds. If the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da was used to trap the enemy, it would lose the effect of protecting him.
In another direction.
“Is this a fake Changgeng?”
Perfected Taiyi could not help but mutter. Yang Jian, who was beside him, was puzzled. Perfected Yu Ding shook his head slightly.
Yang Jian asked, “Why do you say that, Aunt-Master?”
“Disciple-Nephew, you don’t know.” Perfected Taiyi was rarely serious. He explained, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng, has always been known for his stability. Previously, he would not attack if he could. He would not attack if he could. It is actually better now. In the early years, his main body would hide and he only allowed his paper effigy incarnation to move around. Every time his main body appeared, he would either be followed by Senior Brother Xuan Du or protected by the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da, and other treasures. When his skin was scratched, he would look up and shout, “Teacher, save me!” Apart from bullying the demons, have I ever seen him charge into battle? ”
Yu Ding said, “You can’t say that. Changgeng… There’s indeed something wrong today.”
Just as Yang Jian was about to speak, a quaking sound suddenly sounded from the Chaos Sea.
The Dao laws were clas.h.i.+ng intensely, causing the Dao law fragments in the Chaos Sea to tremble!
Look at the area enveloped by the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da!
The Chaos Sea stirred up waves. Dozens of Great Dao turned into chains and collapsed in the waves.
The desolate mountain shone brightly. Countless cracks appeared in the mountain, and it collapsed in the next moment. Dozens of black shadows flew in all directions, but they collided with the Mysterious Yellow aura and were firmly stopped.
Li Changshou stood on a huge rock. In front of him, there was a fragment of a broken sword. He was stepping on a corpse, and the G.o.d-Slaying Spear in his hand was stained with blood.
“Join forces and deal with this person! Otherwise, neither of us can leave!”
The dozen-odd demons responded separately. Their eyes were filled with ferociousness. They either manifested their main bodies, took out their life-saving mystical abilities, or activated ferocious Dharma treasures. Streams of light suppressed Li Changshou.
Li Changshou swept his spear horizontally and locked his gaze on a person. His figure pounced forward and allowed several streams of light to hit his body. However, his speed was slightly slower, and his charge was not affected at all.
Greater Success Stage of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art!
The Mysterious Yellow aura enveloped the ground. Li Changshou and more than ten ancient and ancient experts flew up and down. The battle was intense.
Yun Xiao frowned when she saw that. Her eyes lit up. She was worried about Li Changshou’s safety, but she also wanted to see his indomitable spirit.
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit also frowned. However, she only frowned at the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da and could not help but mutter,
“You can handle it alone. Why did you ask us to come?”
At that moment, Daoist Duobao’s voice sounded in the hearts of the immortals. The immortals in various directions immediately approached the surroundings of the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da and gradually reduced the encirclement.
At that moment, Li Changshou had already fallen into a bitter battle. The reason for that was because he did not use his Great Dao of Equalization and only used the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to fight.
Just as he had said, he was indeed honing his combat skills.
Not long after the battle, two more ferocious beasts lost their lives under the Little G.o.d-Slaying Spear. Li Changshou was in a more sorry state. However, the angle of his attacks became more and more tricky. His figure became smoother when he dodged the attacks. His small-scale teleportation was smooth and natural.
On the other hand, the demons who were fighting him were under immense pressure. They did not dare to hold back.
Gradually, Li Changshou suppressed the urge to shout the Connate Cardinal treasure beside his essence soul.
He had really stood up!
He did not need the teacher to support him. He could run and jump for no reason.
The Eight-Nine Arcane Art’s strength test was about done. He had a rough idea of how many attacks he could withstand.
Actually, half of the reason why he attacked today was because he had thought of it at the last moment, and the other half was because he was thinking carefully.
On the way, he was considering whether he should take the opportunity to reveal 60% to 70% of his strength if the person here was not Kun Peng but Kun Peng’s subordinate.
Of course, he did not do that to act cool in front of Yun Xiao. That was meaningless. Yun Xiao did not like to fight and kill.
Apart from understanding himself, he had three goals.
Firstly, he wanted to tell the immortals that he was familiar with how strong he was so that Master Zhao and the others could consider everything related to him during the Great Tribulation. It would be more comprehensive and sufficient.
Secondly, he had to adapt to the fights in the Chaos Sea in advance.
Thirdly, he was doing it for the Jade Emperor.
Although there were still hundreds of years before the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, it was time to plan ahead of time.
