Chapter 349 The Three Sects’ Immortals Arrive on the Spiritual Mountain!
Should I take the opportunity to plot against Randeng?
In Daoist Huang Long’s sleeve, Li Changshou’s paper effigy turned into a small bug and pondered carefully…
If he could lure Randeng to fan the flames and jump up and down, it would be very easy for the immortals of Chan School to discover the abnormality of the Deputy Sect Master.
However, Li Changshou immediately dispelled that thought.
The timing was not right. It could not be shaken. With this old fellow’s vigilance, it was extremely difficult to make him fall for it!
Moreover, he should not complicate matters.
He had already gathered so many powerhouses of the Dao Sect. It would be considered a great achievement if he could complete the few steps that he had set.
They were the intentions of an expert.
The second scene of the two sects moving together in the Middle Continent and reminiscing about the past had officially begun!
Li Changshou estimated that he had probably frightened the person who had spread the rumors.
He would definitely not be scared out of his wits. At most, his forehead would break out in cold sweat, his Dao heart would tremble slightly, and he would feel uneasy. At the same time, he would frantically plan what he could do to prevent himself from being implicated…
Right? Of course, scaring Ksitigarbha was not Li Changshou’s ultimate goal. That small warning was just a small goal that he had achieved.
He had more important things to do.
In other words, the big show today was to realize the Great G.o.d-Conferment Plan that he had made previously.
In other words, it was also to stabilize the Dao Sect’s environment and give the Heavenly Courts more opportunities to develop steadily.
He could also take the opportunity to increase the reputation of the Heavenly Courts and promote the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor. He could increase the Heavenly Courts’ influence in the five continents and end the uncontrollable scheme of spreading rumors…
In comparison, scaring Ksitigarbha was just a coincidence.
Before I succeed, I’ll consider the risks first.
Having learned from his mistakes, Li Changshou had already considered all kinds of situations before confirming the current script.
Firstly, it was a small matter. It could not cause too much conflict between the two sects.
Secondly, the two Eldest Senior Brothers, Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao, knew about the entire plan in advance. Zhao Gongming, the G.o.ddess of Fire Spirit, and Perfected Huang Long were acting together.
Even if there were any deviations in the development of the situation due to the unpredictable human heart, there were still two ways to be safe.
The Great Daoist Master who had many treasures could appear at any time and make adjustments.
The treasure that the Jade Emperor had made by gathering the power of the Heavenly Dao had been waiting for a long time. It could be used at any time.
Of course, this matter concerned the stability of the three sects and the prosperity of the Dao Sect. It was not enough to just consider that.
Li Changshou a.n.a.lyzed the intentions of the Saints and tried to figure out the intentions of the Grand Pure One. That was how he came up with the tricks of “making a fuss out of nothing” and “suppressing one’s desires”.
Up till now, various signs had shown that although the Grand Pure One was quiet and did not do anything, he did not want to see an internal battle happening in the Dao Sect, nor did he want to see his fellow disciples turn against each other…
Logically speaking, if not for the matter regarding the G.o.d roll, the three sects would not have really been hostile to one another. Siblings would rarely fight go toe-to-toe against each other even if they usually argued.
Moreover, the influence of the two Saints of the Western Sect could not be ignored…
It was not that he had underestimated the Saints of the Western Sect. However, what happened today was already the worst-case scenario. If the two Saints of the Western Sect wanted to attack, they could only expand the conflict.
He wanted to let the traitors who were planted in the three sects to fight and cause a real battle.
However, that would be equivalent to using the p.a.w.ns that they could use during the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation in advance.
Regarding that, Li Changshou raised his leg and welcomed it. He reckoned that he could be rewarded by the Grand Pure One with the unlimited use of one or two treasures…
He kept thinking, calculating, and observing. When the auras of the hundreds of immortals from the two sects reached the peak, Li Changshou, who was hiding in the two camps, secretly sent a voice transmission.
“Ah…
Senior Brother, you can go up now!”
He almost called him something else!
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, Guang Chengzi of Chan School and Daoist Duobao of Jie School stepped forward at the same time.
They each had their hands behind their backs and exuded a strong pressure!
In a radius of 500 kilometers, the clouds and wind stopped.
as
Thousands of kilometers away, the wind was blowing wildly and the living beings were frightened. It was as if the sky and earth were about to collapse. Many cultivators in the immortal sects could not sit still and their spiritual senses were trembling.
The two senior brothers stopped 50 kilometers away. Daoist Duobao cupped his hands and said,
“Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, we unanimously agreed on the same thing today. I want to hear what you people from Chan School have to say about today!”
“What do you mean?”
Guang Chengzi smiled faintly. There was a hint of anger on his face.
“Junior Brother Duobao! We entered the sect early and had cultivated in that small courtyard for a long time! The three sects are of the same origin. We are one family. You know this better than all the other junior brothers and junior sisters. Why did you insult Junior Brother Huang Long today? Where did you put Junior Brother Huang Long’s pride? Have you ever thought about the Dao Sects being one family?”
“Insult? I really don’t know where to start!”
Daoist Duobao glared at him and shouted angrily, “Besides, so what if I insulted him previously? He, Huang Long, had been a reputable expert of the Dao Sect ever since he started cultivating. He did not care for his juniors, nor did he protect them. He even created rumors and caused trouble, gossiping behind their backs! My disciple, Huoling, had originally gone to the Luofu Cave to take care of the injured Junior Sister Jinguang. I did not expect him to see them. He then said that my disciple and Junior Brother Gongming were cultivating together! What kind of senior is this? What kind of expert is this!?! Pui!”
“You!”
Guang Chengzi frowned and calmed himself down. He said calmly, “From the looks of it, Junior Brother, you are bent on blowing things
up.”
Daoist Duobao’s clothes fluttered as he let out a long sigh. “Isn’t this matter severe enough? My disciple wants to die to prove her innocence!”
At that moment, Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao looked at each other. It was as if countless bolts of lightning were blooming behind the two of them. They charged towards each other and dissipated at the same time…
No matter how he looked at it, the two senior brothers were really angry.
Although half of the immortals from Jie School and Chan School were confused, they took out their Dharma treasures…
A storm was brewing!
At the side of the Treasure Pool on the spiritual mountain, the dozens of old Daoists watched with tears in their eyes and felt emotional.
Standing beside Truth Listener in the corner, the corners of the young Daoist’s mouth twitched. He held his breath and observed the scene in the mirror.
At that moment, he could not wait to hear Truth Listener’s recount…
In the Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou, who was dressed in a loose robe, was sitting on a rocking chair. At that moment, his eyes were closed and he had a faint smile on his face. The fan in his hand swayed gently.
Ling’e, who was pretending to be meditating at the side, stole a glance at her senior brother. However, she accidentally got attracted to his smile.
Li Changshou did not have the time to care about his junior sister. He was praising her in his heart…
The two Senior Brothers are really impressive.
As soon as they spoke, he knew that they were experienced actors.
They were full of emotions and got immersed in their roles very quickly. Every gaze and even every tone of their voices were controlled so well!
If they were not acting according to the script that Li Changshou had given them, Li Changshou would have thought that the two senior brothers were really going to fight…
They were impressive, really impressive.
He could not underestimate the experts of the three sects!
He also saw the place where the immortals of the two sects met in the middle of the Divine Continent.
Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi were silent. They faced each other for a while before arguing again.
This time, it was not just Daoist Duobao. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit of Jie School, the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit, Perfected Tai Yi of Chan School, and Chi Jingzi had all come down. The six disciples of the Saints were “debating” from 50 kilometers away.
Naturally, Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao were sending voice transmissions to instruct them on what to say and what not to say.
Li Changshou observed them secretly and guessed their personalities.
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit belonged to the category of beautiful and sweet. Ahem!
The G.o.ddess of Golden Light was the ruthless type who rarely said any words. She was the opposite of Fairy Yun Xiao who had a gentle tone. The G.o.ddess of Golden Light was sarcastic the moment she opened her mouth and wanted to fight with him after just saying a few words. Her temper was also fiery.
The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit was the patient type. She mainly focused on being reasonable. She was always logical and clear. She emphasized the fact that the Jie School was the victim and kept fighting back.
The “debaters” of Chan School refused to be outdone.
Chi Jingzi, who often followed the book, held the core viewpoint of ‘Why should the members of the Dao Sects insult each other since they are one big family?’ He was reasonable and could compromise when needed.
The master of Nezha, Perfected Taiyi, who was a very powerful presence in the Primordial World attracted Li Changshou’s attention.
This Perfected One had the appearance of a young man and a high cultivation level. He also gave off a carefree and unrestrained vibe. He was dressed in a silk Daoist robe that was colored in both red and blue. The inner lapels were carefully selected and he was rather particular.
There were two strands of silver-white hair complementing his fluttery hair. It was very similar to the hairstyle of Exalted w.a.n.g Qing and w.a.n.g Fugui of the Immortal Du Sect… It was fine if he b.u.mped his head.
Perfected Taiyi did not speak much. However, a few words from him almost caused the two of them to fight.
“If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. He clearly went to someone else’s Cave Abode and was seen by others. Yet, he blamed it on our Senior Brother Huang Long.”
Li Changshou shook his head and controlled the paper effigy in the Sea G.o.d Temple to write a line of words.
“Perfected Taiyi is extremely protective of his people. Yin-Yang Language level four.”
Li Changshou continued to observe secretly and realized that he did not need to care about anything else. The few big shots had completely grasped the rhythm of the battle. The argument continued to escalate, and both parties were furious.
The immortals were getting restless. Some of them had already started to use jade talismans to call for help.
A huge battle within the Dao Sect was about to begin today! However, before Li Changshou could remind him that the time was ripe, Guang Chengzi looked up at the white clouds in the sky and sighed.
“Why so…”
Duobao had a complicated expression when he heard that. He looked around and seemed to have aged.
“Aren’t we all taught by the old masters? Why are we going against each other today and not giving in to anyone?”
The immortals of the two sects were speechless.
You two were the ones who quarreled first!
The two auras that were clas.h.i.+ng with each other in the world had softened.
Guang Chengzi looked at Daoist Duobao and suddenly smiled bitterly.
“Junior Brother, you’ve lost weight.”
Duobao lowered his head and looked at the sea of clouds below. He sighed and said, “I’ve been traveling outside, but I haven’t been able to eat as well as I did in the small courtyard.”
“That’s right. At that time, I would always deliberately feed you some precious treasures. My teacher would be so angry that he would keep lecturing me.”
“Hehehe.” Daoist Duobao smiled in embarra.s.sment. “Back then, I ate many precious materials that Uncle-Master used to use for refining treasures. I was hung up and beaten by Uncle-Master and almost turned into cured meat.”
The Turtle Spirit immediately covered her mouth and chuckled. Perfected Tai Yi opposite her even rolled his eyes.
At that moment, half of the immortals from the two sects could still maintain their rationality. At that moment, they were a.n.a.lyzing the intentions of their Eldest Senior Brothers.
The remaining half were more emotional. They were already touched by the conversation. The others were confused and looked as if they were wondering if he had many friends.
Duobao sighed and said, “Back then, Huang Long slept in the pool every day. He was also a dragon that watched the scenery. I teased him every day back then. Now, I can’t scold him at
all.”
That sentence cleverly resolved the conflict that Chan School had raised.
Perfected Huang Long took the opportunity to move forward and bowed to Daoist Duobao in the air.
“Senior Brother Duobao, I was a little narrow-minded and made a mountain out of a molehill. You can scold me a hundred times.”
“No, no, I was wrong.” Daoist Duobao sighed and bowed to Perfected Huang Long. “I was too anxious previously and was a little impatient. I made Junior Brother Huang Long suffer.”
“Senior Brother Duobao!”
Perfected Huang Long bowed deeply with a Dao salute.
At that moment, most of the evil aura in the venue dissipated. The immortals from both sides knew that they could not fight today.
There were some who were touched, but not many.
Chi Jingzi and the other immortals who had cultivated in the small courtyard back then were the most empathetic.
The old Daoists who were watching from the side of the Treasure Pool on the spiritual mountain sighed. They shook their heads and were about to leave.
There was no fun to watch today. However, the subsequent changes caught the old Daoists on the spiritual mountain off guard…
Daoist Huang Long’s emotional voice sounded from the cloud mirror.
“Senior Brother, if you trust me, I can swear that I will never harm Disciple-Nephew Fire Spirit! I have a good relations.h.i.+p with Junior Brother Gongming. I also know that Junior Brother Gongming is upright and honest. He is dedicated to pursuing the Great Dao!”
Zhao Gongming immediately moved forward and said, “I’ve been thinking about this matter. The more I think about it, the more I feel that someone might be deliberately sowing discord and trying to shake the foundation of the Dao Sect!”
Duobao and Guang Chengzi looked at each other and nodded.
The immortals of the two sects frowned. After careful consideration, they realized that there was indeed something fishy about this matter!
At that moment, he heard a chuckle in the sky.
“Fortunately, you guys haven’t really fought. I already have a way to investigate this matter.”
A white cloud slowly descended. There was an ordinary-looking but charming young Daoist standing on it. He was naturally the only disciple of Ren School.
“Senior Brother Xuan Du!”
“Greetings, Senior Brother Xuan Du!”
The immortals of the two sects bowed together. The Great Daoist Master smiled and returned the greeting. His expression was solemn.
“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, please come forward.” The Great Daoist Master called out. The immortals from both sides moved forward and gathered around the Great Daoist Master.
The Great Daoist Master took out a palm-sized “island” from his sleeve and raised his hand to throw it gently. The island slowly expanded under the immortals’ feet. After a while, it turned into an Immortal Island with a diameter of five kilometers and floated above the sea of clouds.
“Junior Brothers and Sisters, please listen to me!”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said warmly, “I wasted some time previously. I went to ask Aunt-Master Jade Emperor to activate the power of the Heavenly Dao and condense a stone tablet. The stone tablet was called the righteousness of the Heavenly Emperor. Its function was to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao to trace the matter and raise the righteousness of the world. It was naturally appropriate for him to use that tablet to resolve this matter! Why don’t we go to the stone monument and gather the power of the Three Sects of the Dao Sect to investigate who the culprit is!?!”
The immortals agreed. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du made an inviting gesture and walked side by side with Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi. They were the first to land.
After a while, hundreds of immortals from the two sects gathered on the peak of the Immortal Island. They looked at the stone tablet and discussed softly…
The words “subdue people with virtue” and “subdue people with reason” were engraved on the left and right sides of the stone tablet. Like the night sky, the dark stone tablet emitted faint starlight, and it contained rich Heavenly Dao power.
The Great Daoist Master raised his hand and pushed out an immortal light. Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi attacked one after another and injected immortal light into the stone tablet.
Perfected Huang Long bowed to the stone tablet and said emotionally, “Old Master Heavenly Dao, please clear my name!”
Clouds appeared on the stone tablet, and the images of all living beings appeared. The blurry images of all living beings were laughing, chatting, and transmitting. It was the process of the rumors spreading and changing.
The figures quickly disappeared, and the power of the Heavenly Dao became denser.
..
Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and even captured a familiar figure… Speed!
Ahem, I must have seen wrongly.
The scene suddenly slowed down, and b.a.l.l.s of fog locked the source of the rumors.
Daoist Duobao shouted in a low voice, “Junior Brothers and Sisters, when are you going to attack if not now!?!” The immortals of Jie School agreed with a bang. Immortal light surged into the stone tablet.
On the side of Chan School, Guang Chengzi raised his hand and made a gesture. More than a hundred immortals attacked at the same time. Wisps of immortal power were injected into the stone tablet!
The stone tablet trembled slightly and the fog retreated. However, a water curtain appeared and blocked the situation behind it.
The immortals from the Dao Sect were puzzled.
Daoist Randeng said, “Everyone, I’m afraid this matter has implicated the Saint. Why don’t…”
“Hmph!”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du snorted coldly. The disciples of the Saints looked at Burning Lamp.
Randeng immediately corrected himself and said in a low voice, “We’ll consider it carefully after we find out.”
“Bring out the Taiji Painting!”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du shouted and raised his left hand. The Connate Cardinal treasure and the palm-sized Taiji Painting slowly appeared in his palm. Two Yin-Yang auras shot out and entered the stone tablet.
The water curtain instantly exploded, revealing… a twelve-petaled golden lotus that was swaying gently!
At that moment, the immortals from the Dao Sect fell silent.
The expressions of the old Daoists beside the treasure pool on the spiritual mountain changed drastically. The words “undeserved calamity” were written all over their heads, and their eyes were filled with panic.
The young Daoist priest in the corner was already pale. He stood up and took two steps towards the back mountain of the spiritual mountain. Then, he suddenly stopped like a clay statue and his fingers trembled…
His mind was in turmoil.
In Little Qiong Peak of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou could sense that the power of the Taiji Painting in his essence soul had slowly increased. Clearly, the Saint had taken action to protect him from being deduced by the Western Sect.
Hence, he stood up and bowed to the sky. The smile on his lips became wider.
After that incident, he finally understood.
There were definitely not one or two experts from the three sects, but batches of them.
He had to be respectful towards those seniors.
Li Changshou stopped interfering with the two shouts that the paper effigy heard.
What happened next was for the Great Daoist Master and the few big shots of the Dao Sect to preside over. He was just watching the show and doing his duty as a member of the rescue team.
The person shouted, “Call all the junior brothers and sisters here!”
“Immortals of Jie School, follow me to the spiritual mountain!”
