My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 260 Choosing the place for Tribulation Transcendence

I wonder how Aunt-Master’s reincarnation is going

In the straw hut by the lake on Little Qiong Peak, Ling’e, who had changed into a white training attire, opened her eyes while seated on the meditation cushion. She was slightly stunned.

It had been more than a month since her senior brother and Aunt-Master had gone to the Netherworld. There was still no news from them.

Ling’e was naturally not worried that her senior brother and Aunt-Master would suddenly elope. After all, the person who had gone out was only her senior brother’s paper effigy. At that moment, her senior brother’s main body should be hiding in a corner of the Pill Chamber.

No, that’s not right…

If I were to consider from the perspective of ‘If I can think of it, how could Senior Brother not think of it too?’, it is possible that Senior Brother’s main body is not in the Pill Chamber!

Everything is just an illusion!

“Hmph.” The corners of Ling’e’s lips curled up slightly. For some reason, she felt a little smug.

At that moment, a voice transmission entered her ears.

“Come to the Pill Chamber. I have a few things to tell you.”

“Oh, okay.” Ling’e’s aura instantly weakened. She said softly, “Senior Brother, I’ll go over now. That’s just what I said after my cultivation has just ended…”

“Yes,” replied Li Changshou. The wisp of immortal senses disappeared.

Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and stood up from the meditation cushion. Even her loose training attire could not hide her beautiful figure.

She first went to the dressing table to take a look at her own dressing. Then, she placed the treasure pouch containing her senior brother’s paper effigy in front of the mirror and placed a wooden comb on top of it.

She then went behind the partition screen and changed into a long dress that she liked wearing on a daily basis. She rode a cloud and rushed to the Pill Chamber. The moment she saw her senior brother, Ling’e felt that something was amiss today…

She quickly asked, “Senior Brother, is Aunt-Master Jiu in trouble?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “No, don’t worry. Aunt-Master and my incarnation are already on the way back. They will arrive at the sect in an hour. Aunt-Master was about to break through to the Heaven Immortal realm, so she had been delayed outside for a while. The matters regarding Aunt-Master Jiang Yu’s reincarnation have also been arranged. Aunt-Master’s breakthrough this time is not over yet. After returning to the mountain, she will enter seclusion to consolidate her realm. You can cultivate in peace for the time being.”

Ling’e blinked and asked softly, “Senior Brother… what’s wrong?”

Li Changshou looked at the young girl in front of him and saw the uneasiness and anxiousness in her eyes. He said warmly, “There’s something I have to take the risk and do. The chances of success are more than 90%. You don’t have to worry about that. However, to be safe, I’ll tell you some things, lest I delay my return…”

Ling’e bit her lips slightly, and the worry in her eyes intensified. “Senior Brother, if there’s danger, can’t we not go and do it?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Ling’e, do you know that we have an expert in Ren School known as the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du?”

Ling’e blinked.

She did not know why her senior brother said that, but she quickly answered, “Of course I know that. He is the only disciple of the Saint of Ren School. He is also one of the few experts below the Saint. He is also known as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect…”

“This time, I will act together with the Great Daoist Master.”

Li Changshou said, “Although there is still a certain amount of danger, it is not too dangerous with the Great Daoist Master beside me. I called you over to give you some instructions, just to be safe. Perhaps I will have to spend some time outside this time. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time for you to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal. You don’t have to think too much about it.”

Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief. Most of the worry in her eyes disappeared…

Li Changshou naturally did not lie to her.

However, he still had to rely on himself for Tribulation Transcendence. No matter how powerful the Great Daoist Master was, he could not help him go through the Heavenly Tribulation…

Well, based on common sense, it should not be possible.

Moreover, Li Changshou was worried that after he successfully transcended the tribulation, something similar to ascension would happen. If he could not settle the matters at home properly, he would have to be distracted.

Li Changshou flipped his hand and took out two brocade boxes.

He said seriously, “I prepared these two boxes for your Tribulation Transcendence. There are two treasure pouches inside. There are dozens of treasure pouches in each of the treasure pouches, as well as a detailed instruction manual. After you enter the seventh stage of the Dao Requital realm, open these two boxes and prepare for the Tribulation Transcendence if I have yet to return.”

Dozens…

Ling’e grabbed the two brocade boxes and could not help but want to complain.

Did Senior Brother prepare the Tribulation Transcendence items for her according to the fact that every Heavenly Tribulation I faced was the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder?

Looking at the two words ‘peace’ and ‘safety’ engraved on the brocade box with immortal power, Ling’e felt happy and warm. She hugged the two brocade boxes and whispered, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. “Remember, you must not neglect this matter.”

Lingle’s face was filled with seriousness. She nodded and agreed.

When Ling’e returned to the straw hut by the lake, Li Changshou called Xiong Lingli over and entrusted her with the spiritual beast enclosure, the spiritual tree, and the Immortal Bean plantation base.

When Li Changshou was transcending the tribulation and gaining enlightenment, he wanted to focus wholeheartedly. He could not be distracted.

After that, when the paper effigy and Jiu Jiu returned to the sect and he sent Jiu Jiu back to the Heaven-Breaking Peak for seclusion, the paper effigy visited Uncle-Master Jiu Wu…

After returning from the Heaven-Breaking Peak, Li Changshou put away the paper effigy. His main body went to visit his master and sat at Old Master Wan Linyun’s side for a while.

There were no more worries in his heart.

Li Changshou used the same trick again. His main body used the transformation technique and entered the space behind a paper effigy. Then, another paper effigy picked up the paper effigy and placed it in his sleeve…

If he met a powerful enemy before meeting up with the Great Daoist Master, he would have a high chance of escaping.

Then, Li Changshou quietly went underground. He left the Immortal Du Sect through the one-way Earth Meridian Teleportation Array and rushed to the place where he had chosen to transcend the tribulation.

When he transcended the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, Li Changshou chose to transcend the tribulation at the edge of the mortal world.

The main consideration was that if he encountered an enemy before and after the Tribulation Transcendence, he could hide in the mortal world. Moreover, there were relatively few Qi Refinement cultivators at the edge of the mortal world.

Now that he was about to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he had the Great Daoist Master’s help to protect him. His external safety index was higher. Furthermore, the power of the Golden Immortal Tribulation was unpredictable. He could not go to the edge of the mortal world, lest he affected the mortals and increasing his negative karma. Therefore, he found a relatively remote place in the East Continent.

That place was located 30,000 kilometers northwest of the Immortal Du Sect. It was rather barren and did not have any living beings. Hence, there were no immortal sects within a radius of 5,000 kilometers. There was only a huge, continuous mountain range where some small demons were entrenched.

It was a good venue for the Tribulation Transcendence.

Ten years ago, Li Changshou had arranged for the paper effigy to secretly set up traps there and investigate the demons there. At the spot that was closest to the mountain where he chose to transcend the tribulation, there was a pack of black leopards hundreds of kilometers away. The strongest one had yet to transform and did not affect him at all…

When his main body arrived, Li Changshou began his final preparations before the Tribulation Transcendence.

He first went to the peak next to the desolate mountain and dug out a Faraday Cage that he had spent a lot of precious materials on.

A thicker and larger version!

He moved the 100-feet-tall birdcage to the peak of the mountain and connected it to the earth meridians.

If he could not withstand the Tribulation Transcendence, there was a high chance that he could use that item to weaken the power of the Tribulation Transcendence.

However, the Golden Immortal Tribulation was not limited to the Lightning Tribulation. The Heavenly Tribulation evolved into the five elements, and there was a limit to what it could do…

Then, Li Changshou scattered some paper effigies and avoided the area of the Heavenly Tribulation. He waited quietly at the edge of the expected Tribulation Transcendence. That was an important trump card Li Changshou had for the Tribulation Transcendence, the paper effigy’s immortal-power-charging treasure!

During the Tribulation Transcendence, the appropriate usage of immortal power was the key to increasing the success rate of the Tribulation Transcendence.

Many Qi Refinement cultivators could not survive the Heavenly Tribulation because they had expended too much Dharma powers and immortal powers in the previous few Heavenly Tribulations. When they faced the true test later on, they were already helpless.

In order to maintain the abundance of immortal power, Qi Refinement cultivators would usually choose to use Spirit Pills that could quickly restore their immortal power and Dharma power to continuously “regenerate” themselves.

Li Changshou naturally prepared such Spirit Pills. He also prepared different types of pills that could be used during the Tribulation Transcendence to quickly replenish his energy.

On the basis of consuming pills, he had to take advantage of the gap between the Heavenly Tribulations and inject immortal power from the same source into his main body. He had to do his best to ensure that he would not encounter a situation where his immortal power was insufficient…

He had to fully dig out the potential of the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts mystical ability.

Li Changshou set up some paper effigies with immortal beans and buried some triggering miniature array formations everywhere…

He had done it twice during the previous Tribulation Transcendence.

Li Changshou had already arranged for the paper effigy to set up the second Tribulation Transcendence venue 1,500 kilometers away and the third Tribulation Transcendence venue 3,000 kilometers away.

If he could safely transcend the tribulation this time, he would have to thank the spirit trees of Little Qiong Peak for their selfless contributions!

Of course, he had to thank the Dragon Palace for the financial support…

In order to deal with his Golden Immortal Tribulation, Li Changshou had really gone all out.

If he died, what was the point of keeping the treasures?

Then, Li Changshou began to take off the little trinkets that he had been wearing on his main body. He temporarily removed the secret incantations of the Magi that he had engraved on his body.

After the Saint had helped him cover his tracks, his “anti-detection” treasures had actually lost their purpose.

However, Li Changshou did not feel that he was safe because of the protection of the Saint. If the Saint’s methods failed one day, he would still have an emergency backup plan…

It was safer to ensure that he had control of his life.

After the lesson from the previous time, he felt that it was better to take those things away before the Tribulation Transcendence. He did not want to make a mistake like the previous time. The Heavenly Dao’s energy-saving mode had casually caused an immortal tribulation and almost caused him to amputate his limbs and ascend

Uh, I can’t bear to look back. I can’t bear to look back.

Li Changshou was busy for a long time. He made sure that all the preparations were safe.

However, when the time came, the Great Daoist Master still did not appear…

Where did the Great Daoist Master go? There was no rush. The Golden Immortal Tribulation was not imminent. Li Changshou had given himself some buffer time.

Based on his calculations, he had already severed his own Dao Realm eight times. The Dao-Realm-Severing technique was almost completely useless, but it was not useless.

If his Heavenly Tribulation arrived and the Great Daoist Master still did not come, he would reach the ninth Dao-Severing realm.

That way, he could delay for one to four hours. His incarnation in the Heavenly Courts could also rush to the Tushita Palace to seek help…

In that case, he would be prepared and wait for the Great Daoist Master.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. He took out the words of gratitude that he had prepared for the Heavenly Tribulation and began to read them word by word.

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du did not mean to be late.

Before the agreed time with Li Changshou, the Great Daoist Master had already left the Tushita Palace.

However, when the Great Daoist Master left the Heavenly Courts, he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and went to the East Ocean first…

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du actually valued Li Changshou’s Tribulation Transcendence.

It should be said that after the ancient times, the thing that Great Daoist Master Xuan Du cared about the most was Li Changshou’s Golden Immortal Tribulation.

That concerned whether he could retire early in the Tushita Palace and the frequency of being ordered around by his teacher in the future…

Moreover, in the Great Daoist Master’s opinion, Li Changshou was very likable. Even without those considerations, he would be willing to help him. Therefore, before Great Daoist Master Xuan Du went to look for Li Changshou, he floated to the East Ocean and arrived at the Three-Immortal Island. After waiting for a while, he saw Junior Sister Yun Xiao…

The eavesdropping duo quickly went to work.

When Yun Xiao went out to meet the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, she sighed softly in her heart.

Ever since he had been schemed against by Senior Brother Xuandu and had her mental state disturbed, she had been having some thoughts.

Yun Xiao knew that she had been cultivating for too long and her Dao heart had suddenly been disturbed. She only needed to enter seclusion for ten thousand years to suppress the disturbance.

Yun Xiao did not want to meet the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du again. However, after some thought, she still walked out of the warm pavilion… “Senior Brother Xuan Du, is there anything important?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said seriously, “I want to ask Junior Sister Yun Xiao to help this time. I want to borrow your Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.”

Fairy Yun Xiao was a little surprised. She chuckled and said, “Senior Brother Xuan Du has many treasures to protect him. Why would he need my Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper?”

The Great Daoist Master said, “If I fight with someone, I can only borrow a portion of Teacher’s treasures. However, they are enough to deal with various situations. However, this time, I have to protect someone. I need your Golden Chalice, Junior Sister.”

Hearing the Great Daoist Master’s words, Yun Xiao was even more curious.

“Senior Brother, can you explain in more detail? The Taiji Painting and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda are both defensive treasures. They are far superior to my Golden Chalice.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du pondered for a while and said, “To be honest, I want you to help a disciple transcend the tribulation together with me, Junior Sister. Although the Taiji Painting and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda are powerful, they can only resist or disperse the Heavenly Tribulation with their power. The Heavenly Tribulation is both a trial of the Heavenly Dao and an opportunity for the person undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence. If we use such a treasure to protect that person, it would also delay his cultivation. However, your Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice is different, Junior Sister. The Golden Chalice could reverse the situation and refine the living beings that were stored in it. With the help of the Golden Chalice, he could heal and replenish the vitality of the living beings that he had absorbed. Moreover, the Golden Chalice isolates Heaven and Earth, and severs the five elements. It also delays the time when the Heavenly Tribulation would descend. That’s why I wanted to ask you to come with me.”

As he spoke, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du took out two jade bottles and smiled. “These are the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and Nine Revolutions Jade Pills refined by Elderly Lord. Take them as a thank-you gift for inviting you to help.”

Yun Xiao muttered softly. Her gaze did not land on the pill. She simply said, “Senior Brother, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but it’s best not to interfere with the cultivators’ tribulation.

Let nature take its course. Isn’t that the logic of the Grand Pure One?”

“Let nature take its course, not follow destiny. The Grand Pure One does not do anything but he does not stay out of everything either.”

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “This disciple is very important to the Ren School. If Teacher doesn’t agree with me, he would have reminded me before I arrived at the Three-Immortal Island.”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly. Even though the Great Daoist Master had mentioned the Saint, she did not want to add more karma.

However… Great Daoist Master Xuan Du threw out his trump card. “The one who is going through the Tribulation Transcendence is the Sea God.”

“Then, Senior Brother, wait. I’ll go and tell both my sisters before I follow you, Senior Brother. This time, I should return the favor and karma of the Sea God.”
