Chapter 567: Helping the Xuandu City
“Ah.”
A faint sigh accompanied by a long white cloud disappeared into the horizon.
The sky in the Heavenly Palace would never look low, but the feelings that belonged to General Dongmu could only be stifled.
At the thought that he might be targeted by the Western Sect, General Dongmu’s originally calm Dao heart could not help but fluctuate.
If there was no other way, who would want to be the ashes of the Tribulation? Who would want to bury the Dao Fruit of Longevity?
However, the Saints of the Primordial World were the greatest. If the Saints of the Western Sect attacked him, what could he do?
After hearing Taibai Jinxing’s a.n.a.lysis of the subsequent developments in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, General Dongmu’s heart…
It was cold.
It was as if there was a voice beside his ear every moment.
There’s no hope. Wait for death. Eat and drink.
Should I work hard to have a son?
If I’m schemed to death by the Western Sect, the few madams should be treated kindly by the Heavenly Courts.
Once he entered the Heavenly Courts, he would be ordinary.
He had been floating in the Heavenly Courts for so many years. Had he forgotten the joy of cultivation?
There was no other way…
After thinking about it, General Dongmu hesitated and held on for half a month. In the end, he could not help but appear in front of the Grand White Palace.
He adjusted his expression and made himself look extremely haggard. Then, he paid attention to his trembling voice. He could use his old voice and his voice to tremble. It was quite infectious.
ME He took a deep breath, held the hem of his luxurious robe, and ran forward in small steps. When he arrived in front of Great White Hall, he shouted,
“Changgeng, save me! Changgeng, save me… Huh?”
General Dongmu’s voice stopped abruptly. He raised his hand to cover the tip of his nose that had been hit. He looked at the layers of light walls in front of him and could not help but be stunned.
What a powerful protective array formation. It could actually completely conceal its fluctuations.
General Dongmu was shocked. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals beside him did not dare to look further. They pretended to be wooden.
General Dongmu waited outside for a while and could not help but shout, “Changgeng? Is Changgeng in?”
Strange. Changgeng would usually leave behind a paper effigy when he went out. Why was there no movement this time?
In the Great White Hall, Ling’e, who had heard the news, looked at the old immortal outside the array formation who was looking around with his head held high. She thought about Li Changshou’s instructions…
“I might not be able to be distracted during this trip. If anyone comes to look for me, tell them that I’m in seclusion and cannot be disturbed.”
“Remember, you have to be careful too. Don’t attract the attention of others. The Heavenly Courts are not stable.”
Ling’e could not help but tug at her hair.
Senior Brother is asking me to inform others again…
What should I do?
Ling’e blinked and floated back to the Little Qiong Peak.
Not long after, the pet.i.te Xiong Lingli carried a green stone and rushed over. Ling’e closed the protective array formation from the inside and immediately activated it. Xiong Lingli casually threw the green stone at General Dongmu.
General Dongmu was stunned at first. Then, he smiled calmly. He was a Golden Immortal after all. He raised his left hand calmly and pressed it against the green rock in front of him.
Thinking back to the past, the human race was flouris.h.i.+ng.
Looking back at the ancient times, they were fighting demons while chatting…
Crack!
With a clear sound, many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were shocked. Fortunately, the green rock landed three inches in front of General Dongmu.
General Dongmu calmly placed his left hand behind his back. The unnatural fold of his left arm was covered by his wide sleeve. Although his face was pale, he still had the smile of a senior expert.
On the stone, there was a sentence.
“Taibai Jinxing is in seclusion at the crucial moment.”
General Dongmu nodded in understanding and smiled. “I’ll come back later. I’ll come back later.”
After saying that, General Dongmu turned around and left. His back view was not chaotic at all, causing many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to sigh.
As expected of the oldest minister of the Heavenly Courts.
Where did Li Changshou go?
It was naturally the Xuandu City.
After Yang Jian’s matter, Li Changshou had not rested for long when he received his teacher’s “painting”.
At that time, Li Changshou was not in a hurry to rush over. Instead, he asked the Golden Roc to bring his paper effigy and rush to the Chiliocosm, which was not too far away from the Xuandu City. He did not hesitate to spend money to build a “landing point” for the one-way teleportation array.
Then, Li Changshou ordered the Heaven Ascension Hall to secretly help build the “starting point” of the one-way teleportation array in the Chiliocosm, which was not too far away from the five continents.
The teleportation array was one-way. There were enough buffers between the “starting point” and the “landing point” from the five continents and the Xuandu City. It saved about 95% of the journey.
That way, he could achieve the goal of quickly supporting Xuandu City. At the same time, he would not let the teleportation array be used by the external demons when the Xuandu City was broken.
That was the balance between “stable” and “efficiency”.
Then, it was the most important question.
Who should he choose to protect the Xuandu City?
In the image given by his teacher, although Eldest Senior Brother was in a sorry state, the Taiji Painting had suppressed the entrance to the Primordial World. Eldest Senior Brother’s Dharma powers were abundant, and his condition was not bad.
Otherwise, the Grand Pure One would not have “sent” the painting to him. Instead, he would have descended to the Xuandu City to set up a barbecue rack.
Dao weapons were formed by mystical abilities. No matter how many casualties there were, there was no need to feel sorry.
Why didn’t Teacher kill Kun Peng personally?
Li Changshou was puzzled. However, after thinking about it carefully, he could explain it.
Teacher has always taken action himself. Why would he need us?
Li Changshou had previously considered Kun Peng’s sudden attack. However, due to his confidence in his Eldest Senior Brother and the fact that the Xuandu City was not a place where ordinary living beings could go, he did not bother about it.
Actually, this matter was really caused by him.
First, he killed the old molting of Kun Peng in the Chaos Sea. However, he did not spread the news in the world as Kun Peng had imagined, causing Kun Peng’s fake death scheme to collapse.
Then, in order to plot against Maitreya, Li Changshou revealed the matter of Kun Peng’s second essence soul. It made Kun Peng’s plan to fake its death meaningless.
After that, Kun Peng sent the otherworldly demon, Du Shuren, to contact him. Under the gaze of the Heavenly Dao, Li Changshou rejected Kun Peng’s “invitation”. The Xuandu City began to be invaded by the otherworldly demons…
Although Li Changshou did not quite understand what Kun Peng was trying to do, he had already concluded that there was definitely a connection between Kun Peng and Senior Lang.
Kun Peng should be interested in his hometown friend, Senior Lang.
Unfortunately…
At that moment, Li Changshou was using the Heavenly Dao to travel. He was valued by the Dao Ancestor, so he naturally tried his best to avoid being related to Senior Lang.
What is Kun Peng trying to do?
Li Changshou quickly came to the conclusion that… three of them were reliable.
Firstly, Kun Peng had a secret agreement with the Western Sect. He would take the initiative to appear and help Maitreya clear his name or lure him away.
Secondly, Kun Peng wanted to take advantage of the chaos and pressurize the Primordial World. He wanted to use the six Saints’ internal strife to gain benefits.
Thirdly, Kun Peng wanted to lure him to the Outer World.
Due to the fact that Du Shuren had asked me to pa.s.s a message to you previously, the third possibility was the most likely.
If that was the case, a huge problem would follow.
a.s.suming that the Grand Pure One knew everything about the ancient times, and that the Grand Pure One directly sent me such a scene and not the word ‘go’, does it mean that Teacher wants me to see Kun Peng?
That was a huge problem.
Li Changshou respected the Grand Pure One very much. In his eyes, the Grand Pure One’s tendency was to be right and wrong about what happened back then.
He recalled that the Grand Pure One had once covered up the “yearbook”…
Li Changshou could not help but feel confused.
Senior Lang and Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, who is right and who is wrong?
To be precise, who is more correct?
One thing could be a.n.a.lyzed from different angles and come to different conclusions. Apart from “pure evil”, “evil desire”, and “endless greed”, there was no absolute right or wrong.
“Who should I ask to help in Xuandu City?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and quickly found a candidate.
The most important thing for the candidates to go to the Xuandu City was that their Dao hearts were firm and would not be taken advantage of by the external demons.
Among the experts that he could invite, Master Zhao was naturally one with a stronger Dao heart. He did not have much obsession, and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was very suitable for dealing with major situations.
With Master Zhao’s appearance, the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit would naturally not fall behind. The husband and wife would eliminate the demons together.
Yun Xiao…
Li Changshou subconsciously wanted to avoid that Dao name. He did not want Yun Xiao to take risks in the outer s.p.a.ce. However, in terms of a strong Dao heart, Yun Xiao was definitely one of the top five disciples of the Dao Sect.
If he ignored this, he would be biased towards the Purple Cloud Palace!
Therefore, when Li Changshou distributed the jade token, he also sent a jade token to the Three-Immortal Island.
After sending out a few jade talismans, Li Changshou considered another problem.
If I bring too many Jie School immortals to the Xuandu City, wouldn’t the war in the Three Realms destroy Jie School?
Yes, balance it out.
Li Changshou turned to Chan School. He sent a jade token to the Jade Void Palace and a jade token to the Qianyuan Mountain.
It was common knowledge in his previous life that an outstanding team had to have a stable starting point and stable taunting point to cover the main damage output.
Perfected Taiyi was the most important.
In less than half a day, the first batch of experts who were supporting the Xuandu City gathered at the “starting point” of the one-way teleportation array.
Jie School was led by the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit, Zhao Gongming, Fairy Yun Xiao, and the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit.
Chan School was Perfected Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding.
Li Changshou had sent the jade token to the Jade Void Palace. He only said that the Xuandu City was in a hurry and wanted Perfected Taiyi and Perfected Yu Ding to rush over to help. He did not ask for additional help.
There were few disciples in Ren School. Only Li Changshou himself and the two mounts that were already waiting on the other side of the teleportation array formation.
After the experts gathered, Li Changshou briefly introduced the situation in Xuandu City. He pointed out that the Demon Master Kun Peng had appeared and distributed a batch of Heart-Calming Pills to the immortals.
Although everyone was a mighty figure of the Primordial World, the Spirit Pills produced by Ren School were considered rare.
When they heard Kun Peng being mentioned, the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit and the others’ expressions were extremely solemn. They knew that today was dangerous. They focused fully and stepped into the teleportation array, crossing the layers of the universe.
However, this time, the Spirit Stones of the two Teleportation Arrays shattered. The value of the precious materials used could allow the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation to operate for a thousand years.
Although it was convenient to teleport from afar, he was indeed a prodigal.
If the Taiji Painting could spare some of its power outside the Xuandu City, Li Changshou would not be so “wasteful”.
The Golden Roc, which had been waiting for a long time, transformed its body into a thousand feet and carried the mighty figures.
Bai Ze transformed into an auspicious beast and stood on the Golden Roc’s head. The three seven-colored feathers on his head fluttered gently as he sensed the auspiciousness in front of him.
Li Changshou thought for a while and suddenly said, “This time, it’s not convenient for me to appear directly.”
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Gongming asked in concern.
Li Changshou said, “The Kun Peng might be looking for me. I don’t want to be discovered by him.”
Perfected Taiyi’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “You can even hook up with Kun Peng?”
ME “How vulgar! What do you mean by hooking up?
I just went out with you previously and killed the old molting of Kun Peng.”
Li Changshou flicked his sleeve and looked at Fairy Yun Xiao, who was standing quietly beside him. He smiled and said, “Fairy, can you use your sleeve to hide me?”
Yun Xiao did not mind. She raised her hand and opened Liu Yun’s sleeve, gesturing for Li Changshou to enter.
Li Changshou leaped up, but he shrank to three inches and entered Yun Xiao’s sleeve.
In that case, he could observe secretly and give the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da to Yunyun.
Fairy Yun Xiao seemed to have realized it late. After Li Changshou’s main body jumped into her sleeve, she realized that she was too close.
In particular, Li Changshou was not very obedient beside her arm. From time to time, he would rub and poke her, causing her face to turn slightly red.
Li Changshou sighed.
He shrank his body and observed Fairy Yun Xiao’s arm at a close distance. He realized…
Fairy’s skin indeed does not have any pores!
A group of experts rushed to the gap in the Heavenly Dao barrier and arrived in front of a black void vortex.
Bai Ze said, “The road ahead is dangerous, be careful.”
ME Fairy Yun Xiao said from her sleeve,
“Mr. Bai and the Golden Roc are acting as support here. If there are any fish that slip through the net or difficult otherworldly demons, we have to try our best to stall them if we can’t kill them.”
Bai Ze and the Golden Roc agreed to help in front of the vortex.
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit said, “Prepare your mystical abilities and activate your Dharma treasures. There’s probably a hard battle ahead.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
At that moment, the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit summoned the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi and revealed her six-armed incarnation. Her jade-like arms held various magical treasures.
Perfected Taiyi summoned the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier and nine fire dragons surrounded him.
Fairy Yun Xiao took out the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and held it in her left palm. She gently poked her left sleeve with her right hand, indicating that a certain Heavenly Courts’ authoritative G.o.d should behave and not let her be distracted.
Zhao Gongming raised the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and held the metal whip in his hand.
Li Changshou noticed a detail.
At that moment, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were more connected to Master Zhao. The circulation of spiritual energy was more smooth.
On careful thought, ordinary Heavenly Courts’ authoritative G.o.ds would usually use the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da, the Floating Flame Flag, and the Cosmic Ruler to perform crosstalk in their hearts.
Master Zhao had twenty-four pearls. If each pearl had its own spirituality, wouldn’t that mean…
It was scary just thinking about it.
The familiar jade tripod appeared above Perfected Yu Ding’s head. Seven-colored light enveloped Perfected Taiyi’s essence soul.
It would definitely be good if he did not fall.
Perfected Huang Long looked at the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit and thought that he could find some comfort. However, he saw that the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit was enveloped in a light green light. She held a jade flute in her hand and more than ten instruments were floating behind her.
The G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit emitted a clear aura and brewed waves of essence soul fluctuations.
It was really a hidden expert against the otherworldly demons.
Perfected Huang Long thought, ‘Why don’t I guard outside?’
“Charge!”
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit shouted softly. Six streams of light soared into the sky and smashed into the vortex in front of her.
The corners of Perfected Huang Long’s mouth twitched twice and turned into the seventh ray of light…
There was a rich power of the Heavenly Dao in the vortex. It seemed to have transcended layers of barriers, but it also seemed to have transcended the endless universe.
Li Changshou carefully sensed the strange fluctuations that appeared after the Great Dao was slightly distorted. He sensed the various wonders contained in the Heavenly Dao.
His immortal senses were suppressed around him and he could not probe outside. Most of his six senses failed. Only his eyes could see the faint light flas.h.i.+ng in the darkness.
The power of the Heavenly Dao was so rich that it made people feel a little oppressed. However, Li Changshou was filled with enlightenment and hid it.
Clear Dao Heart, open!
The area in front of him suddenly became clear. Li Changshou’s immortal senses immediately spread out and saw the battle in the Xuandu City.
They emerged from the bottom of the Taiji Painting. The Taiji Painting slowly rotated. Yin and Yang Qi enveloped the place and shattered the black aura that was smas.h.i.+ng over. They actually did not tremble at all.
That also confirmed Li Changshou’s previous thoughts…
As long as the Taiji Painting was there, the otherworldly demons would not be able to break the last line of defense of the Xuandu City. It was impossible for Kun Peng to not know about this. He must have a motive for appearing and bringing the otherworldly demons to attack the Xuandu City!
As for Kun Peng…
Li Changshou looked up from Yun Xiao’s sleeve. Through the image of the Taiji Painting, he saw a short figure standing with his hands behind his back and surrounded by black shadows.
Under the illumination of the Taiji Painting, countless otherworldly demons blocked the void at the edge of the Chaos Sea to the Primordial World.
Among the otherworldly demons, apart from Kun Peng, there were a few figures that emitted strong pressure.
Half of his body was hidden in the Chaos Sea. He seemed to be 100,000 feet tall. There were seven-colored antennas at his waist, vaguely showing the outline of a strange living being in a thick dress.
There were also terrifying ferocious beasts in the shape of dragons with bone wings.
He also had a casual shape and a casual appearance. He emitted a strange pressure and even contained dozens of incomplete Great Dao…
Connate G.o.dfiend!
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Taiji Painting. Two figures shuttled back and forth around him, trying their best to stop the otherworldly demons from attacking the Taiji Painting and himself.
Although it was difficult for two fists to fight four hands, and the Great Daoist Master was also trapped there in disguise and could not move away from the entrance of the world, he did not suffer any injuries and was rather calm when dealing with them. He looked like he could guard them forever.
Li Changshou did not say anything at that moment. He only instructed the others not to expose that he had also arrived and secretly observed.
ME He could sense his senior brother’s suppressed anger. Without thinking much, he said to Fairy Yun Xiao,
“Yun, reach your hand in.”
Fairy Yun Xiao reached into her sleeve with her right hand and took the Cosmic Ruler and the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da from Li Changshou. She gently poked Li Changshou’s chest with her slender fingers.
Li Changshou coughed twice and lay down beside Yun Xiao’s arm. He turned around and hugged her smooth jade-like arm with both hands.
“It’s over, it’s over. I’m seriously injured. I can’t get up without any benefits.”
Yun Xiao spat at him. Her voice was soft and gentle. Then, she focused her attention on the battle that was about to erupt.
Zhao Gongming shouted, “It’s indeed Kun Peng!”
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit snorted coldly and was the first to rush into the sky!
The other experts of the Dao Sect lit up their Dharma treasures and rushed out of the Taiji Painting without any resistance!
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du suddenly opened his eyes. There was anger in his eyes.
Fairy Yun Xiao shouted softly, “Senior Brother, please accept the treasure.”
The Cosmic Ruler flew out of Fairy Yun Xiao’s hand and turned into a gray stream of light that broke through several black shadows. It rushed to the side of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and was firmly held by the Great Daoist Master’s raised right palm.
The Great Daoist Master stood up!
At that moment, a small paG.o.da flew above the Great Daoist Master’s head and scattered thousands of Mysterious Yellow auras.
“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, just guard the Taiji Painting.”
The Great Daoist Master said calmly. Then, he looked up at Kun Peng, the G.o.dfiend, and the otherworldly demons above him.
A small paG.o.da floated above the Great Daoist Master’s head and emitted a Mysterious Yellow aura. It made the Great Daoist Master’s figure look so majestic.
“Have you been enjoying yourself when you were hitting me these few days? b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”
