Chapter 695: You Don’t Understand!
“Yes, Changgeng is good in every aspect. It’s just that the congratulatory words are a little too hasty.”
Before he appeared, the Grandmaster of Heaven sat beside the pool on the side peak. He looked at the jade token in front of him and kept chanting softly. He was a little hesitant.
He used many simple words in the opening of the congratulatory speech to describe the pleasant ambiance in order to create an amiable and approachable image of the Sect Master.
Who is he?
He could be considered one of the top few figures in the Primordial World. He was one of the Three Pure Ones!
How could he use such straightforward words?
He had to first tell them about the Great Dao and some mystical abilities and Dao techniques. He had to tell them about the embarra.s.sing things that happened when the two disciples entered the sect. He recalled how his master sat beside the tall valley and told them some colorful stories.
Don’t misunderstand. That was a compulsory course for Jie School—The Multiple Techniques of Different-colored Rainbow Light in Fighting.
That was the style of a Saint.
The Grandmaster of Heaven put the jade token in his sleeve and placed his hands behind his back. He watched the commotion in the hall.
Let’s put the Great Tribulation aside for now.
“Grandmaster” asked his grand-disciples to fill the calamity. As his master, he could not defeat Grandmaster, so he could only silently endure and see if there was any chance of turning things around.
What else could he do?
He originally wanted to join forces with his Second Senior Brother and persuade his Eldest Senior Brother to fight with Teacher.
However, when he had that thought, his Second Senior Brother had already stood opposite him.
In fact, he, the youngest of the Three Pure Ones, knew that Second Senior Brother’s personality was very stable. If he was not confident enough, he would not attack. Moreover, he would be easily fooled. Deep down, he was more protective than him.
The conflict between the Chan School and Jie School extended to the conflict between the Three Pure Ones. Teacher’s scheme was really too powerful.
I’m still too young to fight with Teacher.
The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed slightly. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the male fairy who was cheering. His gaze was distant, but it seemed to be filled with light.
‘What kind of att.i.tude does Changgeng have towards Teacher?’
That was what the Grandmaster of Heaven was most worried about.
He felt that in the past few years, Little Changgeng had suddenly become unyielding. Previously, he had been quite obedient and thought about protecting himself.
In the Grandmaster of Heaven’s opinion, that was actually an extremely precious quality. It was much better than his disciples who would easily be insulted.
Could it be that Changgeng had some method to ensure that he would not be killed by Teacher?
Does such a method really exist?
The Grandmaster of Heaven frowned slightly.
In the area enveloped by the Heavenly Dao, Teacher is already an invincible existence. Only Eldest Senior Brother can restrain Teacher.
The six Saints could only barely maintain balance with the power of the Heavenly Dao. However, as the Heavenly Courts prospered, they felt helpless.
As a Saint, he had actually seen clearly his teacher’s plans regarding the Heavenly Courts over the past hundreds of years.
To the Three Realms, the Heavenly Courts represented order and promoting the Heavenly Courts meant promoting order.
However, to his teacher, the Heavenly Courts was a weight that could only break the balance of the Saint Heavenly Dao.
The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and shook his head.
At that moment, he could already feel the obvious pressure of the Heavenly Dao. Presumably… the Second Saint of the Western Sect could not breathe.
Smile.
Those few Saint sects, the three Dao Sects, and the Western Sect were actually the pillars of support for the Saints.
The order that came from ancient times was supported by the Saint.
The six Saints were the foundation stones of the Heavenly Dao. On one hand, they meant that the Saints had promoted the evolution of the Heavenly Dao. Through the Primordial Violet Qi, they formed an important part of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
On the other hand, the order of the Heavenly Dao in the past was achieved through the influence of the Saint’s sect.
The rise of the Heavenly Courts was actually a sign that the Heavenly Dao had begun to interfere with the order of the world.
The position of the Heavenly Courts’ legitimate G.o.d was filled with the Great Tribulation. The Heavenly Dao would be perfected. Even if the six Saints joined forces, they would not be Teacher’s match.
Moreover, the six of them could not join forces. There was no reason for them to do so.
Now, the Saint was on the verge of being eliminated by the Heavenly Dao.
I wonder how much Changgeng knows about the Heavenly Dao.
The Grandmaster of Heaven frowned even more.
He had previously seen Suiren attack the Heavenly Courts. Li Changshou was also in the human camp. That was actually a little unwise.
He could not defeat his teacher. There was no need for Changgeng to fight for his pride.
In fact, it was already not bad that Changgeng could bring his disciples away. There was no need to do anything. Doing more meant taking more risks.
Yes, I have to remind him later. I have to make him not forget his original intentions and end things peacefully. He should escape when he needs to.
The future of the Primordial World…
In fact, since the Purple Cloud Palace distributed the Primordial Violet Qi, there was no future.
Leaving was actually the best choice.
“Master, please start the wedding!”
Duobao shouted. It was time for him to go on stage.
The Grandmaster of Heaven lowered his head and looked at his grand attire. Actually, there was an additional long shoulder outside his Daoist robe. There were some Dao patterns that the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals could not understand.
He took a step forward and light circulated around him. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the throne and facing the disciples and guests.
He raised his hand and gestured. Zhao Gongming led the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit, who was dressed to the nines, forward. The two of them stepped onto the platform and knelt in front of the Grandmaster of Heaven.
Zhao Gongming sighed and said loudly, “Gongming greets Master!”
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit was also amused by Zhao Gongming’s excitement. For the first time, she showed her gentle side and said gently, “I, Jin Ling, thank you for your teachings, Master.”
“Alright, alright! Hahaha! Get up, get up.”
The Grandmaster of Heaven placed his hands behind his back and laughed loudly. He looked at his two precious disciples who were in front of him. His eyes were filled with stars, and his young face was filled with a warm smile.
He smiled and sighed.
Uh, what did I want to say…
“Ahem, today is a peaceful day. Everyone, you have come from the trichiliocosm. You have gathered in the Green Touring Palace to witness the marriage of my beloved disciple. It is a blessing for Jie School.”
Below the stage, Li Changshou smiled faintly.
The ma.n.u.script that he had written was indeed appreciated by his Uncle-Master.
…
“Lord Taibai Jinxing, are you here?”
“Brother-in-law! Do you want to come here!?!”
“Junior Brother Changgeng, let’s have a drink!”
After the Grandmaster of Heaven finished his speech, Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit bowed to their master and the world. Under the escort of Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao, the two “wine-serving fairies”, they drank a cup of wine and held two lotus flowers. The wedding had nothing to do with the two of them.
The Grandmaster of Heaven would naturally not join the younger generation. After presiding over the wedding, he would hide.
Zhao Gongming was pulled to the round table by the immortals of Jie School to drink. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit was also dragged away by the fairies and occupied half of the Green Touring Palace’s hall.
When Li Changshou wanted to find a seat, that situation immediately happened.
Those who dared to speak directly were not ordinary Golden Immortals. They were all famous figures from various factions.
Li Changshou smiled and rejected the invitations from the Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Immortal Alliance. He shook his head at Bi Xiao and rejected Lu Yue’s greeting. He calmly walked to the exclusive seat of the Heavenly Courts and sat beside the Heavenly General who had his mouth covered.
As soon as he walked over, Elder Moon and the Heavenly Soldiers hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Changshou.
When they sat down, Li Changshou blinked at the Heavenly General and sent a voice transmission.
“Your Majesty, excuse me. Your incarnation technique is already so brilliant. I’m afraid only the Grandmaster of Heaven recognized you.”
“Hmph!”
The Heavenly General turned to look at Elder Moon, causing him to be confused.
What’s going on?
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He began to call his colleagues from the Heavenly Courts to eat and drink.
The Heavenly General, who was also the Jade Emperor’s latest incarnation, quickly adjusted his mentality. He coughed and took the initiative to toast Li Changshou.
“I, Dong Deqi, am honored to be able to sit at the same table as Lord Taibai Jinxing.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Is the Jade Emperor hoping that I, a restless subject, will understand?
“General Dong, you’re too polite. Thank you for escorting Elder Moon here.”
Elder Moon frowned and looked at Dong Deqi. Why is this general so insensible? The Lord of Heaven is coming over, but he doesn’t know to give up his seat to him.
Can you sit casually beside Lord Taibai Jinxing?
It was really too much. If not for the fact that there were so many Great Immortals here, he would have reprimanded this fellow.
Elder Moon held his wine gla.s.s and carefully bowed to Li Changshou. He smiled and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, do whatever you want. I’ll do it.”
“Let’s drink together.” Li Changshou smiled and clinked gla.s.ses with Elder Moon.
The two of them immediately began to discuss the various problems that the Hall of Marriage was facing. They were actually just putting on an act and finding a topic.
When the immortals of Jie School began to offer gifts to Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit, Elder Moon represented the Heavenly Courts and led the two female immortals to deliver some colorful robes.
The dragon race did not disappoint. Although there were only two elders, the colorful treasure chests filled the corners of Green Touring Palace.
That made many Qian Immortals and Kun Immortals of Jie School look at each other and have the bold idea of tricking them into marriage.
Li Changshou’s gift was only in a treasure pouch. He stuffed it into Zhao Gongming’s arms and did not take it out to show off.
Ling’e gave the few dresses that she had personally sewn in the flower basket to the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit could not stop smiling and praised Ling’e’s skill.
Ling’e giggled and took out a few baby clothes from the flower basket. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit blushed and the female immortals laughed in unison.
While she stood up to present the gift, Daoist Huang Long brought Jiang Shang and Shen Bao to Li Changshou.
Huang Long whispered, “Junior Brother, let’s share a table.”
“Senior Brother, please.” Li Changshou stood up and invited him. His gaze swept past Jiang Shang and Shen Bao without stopping.
Perfected Huang Long smiled bitterly and sat beside Li Changshou. He heaved a long sigh of relief.
Before he came, he had already felt immense pressure. However, after he arrived, he realized what it meant to be on pins and needles in the strengthening cla.s.s.
There was even salt on the pins.
Before Li Changshou arrived, immortals from Jie School would pa.s.s by Huang Long from time to time. They snorted and glared.
There was also the fact that the immortals of Jie School would deliberately discuss the matter of Chan School and Jie School. They said that Chan School was ruthless. In the previous battle, Chan School had schemed and did not intend to take advantage of them.
Perfected Huang Long lowered his head and did not speak. The two junior brothers beside him did not dare to breathe loudly.
Finally, when Li Changshou arrived, he went to Li Changshou’s side. Perfected Huang Long felt extremely aggrieved and depressed. He wanted to tell Li Changshou about it.
Perfected Huang Long sighed.
“Ah! I feel terrible eating at the banquet.”
Shen Bao sighed to himself and smiled bitterly at the wine bottle in front of him. “I originally wanted to do my best for the three sects, but now, I know that everything is empty and irreversible. Lord Taibai Jinxing is a talented person. Is there any way to do something for the three sects?”
“This…”
Li Changshou was in a dilemma. He sat there and pondered.
It was actually within his expectations that Shen Bao could ask that question. The black leopard’s position was extremely blurry. Due to his complicated background, he could not tell if he was on Chan School or Jie School’s side.
Dong Deqi smiled and said, “What Fellow Daoist asks is already the greatest problem in the world. Lord Taibai Jinxing is trapped by it day and night. He is already worried.
Fellow Daoist, it’s best not to mention this at such an occasion. Otherwise, it will ruin everyone’s mood.”
Shen Bao frowned and looked at Dong Deqi. He said firmly, “Fellow Daoist… you don’t understand.”
The Heavenly Emperor widened his eyes.
Elder Moon also said, “General Dong, you have only entered the Heavenly Courts for a few decades. You don’t know the inside story. Our Heavenly Courts should remain neutral and not interfere in the Great Tribulation. Come, let’s drink. Let’s not talk about our worries today. Let’s just talk about being carefree.”
“Eh?”
Jiang Shang raised his wine gla.s.s and sized up Elder Moon, who was wearing a wedding robe. When he saw the full moon and laurel tree embroidered on Elder Moon’s wedding robe, he thought of some legends and asked softly, “Could it be that you are the G.o.d of Marriage? Elder Moon?”
“Excuse me.” Elder Moon smiled and squinted. “Who are you?”
“Jiang Shang, Ziya.”
“Ouch!”
Elder Moon was shocked. He looked at Li Changshou, who was smiling with squinted eyes. He wanted to say a few polite words, but he was afraid that he would say something wrong.
He was too familiar with the name Jiang Shang!
Back then, the Lord Taibai Jinxing came to look for him and asked him to arrange a marriage for Daoist Priest Qi Yuan’s reincarnation.
The old Turbid Immortal had never enjoyed good fortune in his previous life. In this life, he naturally had to make up for it. As his disciple, Lord Taibai Jinxing had done his best.
However, Lord Taibai Jinxing had also said that his reincarnation was no longer related to him. That was also something that G.o.ddess Nuwa had set back then. Elder Moon immediately warned that he indeed could not say such a thing.
Yes, he had to help Lord Taibai Jinxing cover it up.
Elder Moon sighed and said, “You’re Jiang Shang? Hahaha, you’re really a great marriage partner that I’ve seen!”
Jiang Shang straightened his back and felt strange.
“Thank you for taking care of me, Elder Moon.”
“Ah, that’s not right. I’m just doing business.” Elder Moon smiled and said, “Our Hall of Marriage will never forcefully bring a couple together. We only know how to improve marriages. Fellow Daoist, you are blessed.”
Jiang Shang stood up with his wine. “Let me toast you.”
“You’re welcome.” Elder Moon naturally raised his cup to welcome him.
Huang Long sneered but did not expose the twists and turns. He said, “Junior Brother Changgeng, I’ll toast you… Thank you for the matter regarding the dragon race.”
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He did not say anything and casually threw out a topic. He discussed which Connate mighty figures in the ancient times had become Dao companions and the etiquette at that time.
Huang Long took the opportunity to speak frankly and revealed the demeanor of an immortal of Chan School. He successfully livened up the atmosphere at the table.
Soon, Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit began to toast. They were the first to arrive at Li Changshou’s table.
Li Changshou and the other immortals raised their cups to welcome him. Zhao Gongming’s face was already red. His beaming expression made people feel happy.
“Changgeng, we… are all drunk!”
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He took out a treasure pouch from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming was puzzled. “Why are there two congratulatory gifts? What do you mean?”
“The previous one was given on behalf of Ren School.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The one in here is a gift from me to Big Brother and Sister-In-Law.”
“Then I have to take a good look.” Zhao Gongming looked at the treasure pouch in his hand in confusion. The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit curiously extended her immortal senses into it.
Then, the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit blushed and saw the 360 “familiar” portraits.
Zhao Gongming’s eyes lit up. He saw the bottles in the corner.
Li Changshou seemed to be implying something. He smiled and said, “I’m here. I hope that my Brother and Sister-in-law will have children soon!”
“Haha, hahaha!”
Zhao Gongming immediately laughed out loud and carefully put away the treasure pouch.
The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit lowered her head and bowed. “Thank you, Brother-in-law.”
At that moment.
Lu Yue rushed over from outside the hall and whispered something in Daoist Duobao’s ear. Daoist Duobao raised his eyebrows and quickly walked towards Li Changshou.
Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and was puzzled.
Emperor Da Yu?
Judging from Duobao and Zhao Gongming’s reactions, Jie School should not have given the Fire Cloud Cave an invitation. Why would Emperor Da Yu appear here?
Moreover, Emperor Da Yu looked worried, as if he wanted to see someone urgently.
Be steady.
Daoist Duobao walked forward. Before he could say anything, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission.
“Senior Brother, please step forward and confirm Emperor Da Yu’s ident.i.ty.”
Duobao nodded slowly and smiled. “Drink and chat first. I’ll go out to receive the guests.”
After saying that, he quickly left with Lu Yue and rushed to Golden Ao Island outside the Green Touring Palace.
