Chapter 367 A Lesson That Must Be Experienced in Life

In the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak, his immortal senses captured his master meditating. Li Changshou smiled and continued to fiddle with the chessboard in front of him.

He only placed the black and white chess pieces into simple patterns that did not have any specific meaning and used them to relax his mind. The secret underground chamber was ten times more spacious now. It had been transformed into a complete Cave Abode that was reserved for his master, junior sister, and two Aunt-Masters. At that moment, Li Changshou was alone. He carefully thought about his preparations for the God-Conferment test.

Previously, he had already decided in the North Continent that he would not take the initiative to plan anything for the next one to two hundred years. He would wait and see the changes in the situation, stabilize his Dao heart, and explore the Great Dao.

At this stage, the two more important matters had been completed – The third phase of Little Qiong Peak’s modification project was completed. His master had benefited from the Heavenly Courts’ karma.

The current Little Qiong Peak used the Five-Element Spirit Beads given by Daoist Duobao as the foundation and borrowed the few “treasures” obtained from the Goddess Nuwa’s Palace to strengthen the power of the Five-Element Array.

Although he did not dare to say that the Little Qiong Peak could withstand the attacks of Connate treasures, it had at least reached the “extreme defense” that Li Changshou could currently achieve…

It was not meaningless to hide at home! If he could obtain a defensive treasure and fill the main array core of the Little Qiong Peak’s Recovery Array, that would be the true ultimate Cave Abode!

Of course, that was just an idea, a pure concept…

How many comics did he have to use to accumulate enough points to exchange for the Mountain and River Painting that Goddess Nuwa would reward others with in the future?

The difficulty was too high. He had gained a lot from Goddess Nuwa’s Palace.

With the power of the Nine Heaven Lifesoil and the “Cosmic Array” that the Great Daoist Master had given him previously, Li Changshou completed the entire “Cosmic Ruyi” of the Little Qiong Peak. Not only could the size of the Little Qiong Peak be adjusted, but it also had the functions of a Cave Abode, a brick, and a mobile super array formation cannon. It could also shrink and expand the people standing on the peak using the Cosmic Mustard technique.

Making it easier to escape was the goal of the Heavenly Courts’ ordinary gods! As such, strategic retreat was also bestowed with a strong artistic aura!

At that moment, Li Changshou realized that the trip to Goddess Nuwa’s Palace had affected his mentality greatly.

However, no matter how great the impact was, he still had to cultivate and plan.

He could not change the main tone of his life in Ren School. Before he had the ability to protect himself, he had to work hard to obtain the protection of the Saint and make achieving Merit Gold his goal… Although his mentality had changed, his preparations before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation would not be affected. He still had to do something that would not threaten his own safety and preserve the Dao Sect’s vitality. When he was working on the tens of thousands of pages of comics, Li Changshou had asked some small questions. Perhaps the Saint had been bored and had given Li Changshou some answers, allowing him to obtain a lot of useful information. At the very least, his understanding of the word ‘Heavenly Dao’ was much deeper than before.

He could not blindly follow the Heavenly Dao, nor could he forcefully defy it. What did that mean? “Can’t follow the Heavenly Dao”: The person who took the initiative to be a Dharma treasure of the Heavenly Dao would be trapped by the Heavenly Dao’s luck. As long as the Heavenly Dao deviates from what he wants, it would be difficult for him to have a good ending. “Indefatigable”: If you fight against the power of the world, you will only be courting death unless you are a Saint who can transcend the Heavenly Dao.

Previously, there was a useless warning that a carefree senior had left behind in the past, followed by the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Master Zhao, and Fairy Yun Xiao’s tribulation. Li Changshou had no choice but to put his hands on the chessboard of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

He had to give up all illusions that the Heavenly Dao would be benevolent to him and make the most thorough preparations!

He would use the situation to change his life!

“Life…”

Li Changshou stretched and put away the chessboard. He stood up.

The higher his cultivation level was, the more he felt that the words ‘peaceful and quiet’ were extremely profound. It was far from what he could comprehend at that moment…

Li Changshou walked to the two portraits of fairies that he had redecorated. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ling’e who was on his left. He raised his hand and touched his lips…

So what if she wakes me up?! Speaking of which, this girl, who actually thinks differently from the way she hacts, has grown up to be able to do this.

He had arranged for her to go out and train and come into contact with the Primordial World. If she could calm down and return to the Little Qiong Peak to cultivate quietly, she would have passed the third last test.

He looked at Fairy Yun Xiao beside him… She stood under the peach blossom, looking aloof and ethereal.

Li Changshou’s thoughts were rather simple.

Regardless of whether we succeed or not, I will not stand by and do nothing if I can help you this time. In terms of how to poach someone steadily during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation… Li Changshou naturally had a plan. He walked to a corner and took out a scroll. He slowly opened it and deliberated carefully. It was a complicated formula. The result of it was the deviation rate allowed by the Heavenly Dao. Li Changshou needed some “sample data” to deduce that fixed value as a reference for his actions during the God-Conferment Tribulation…

The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was based on the plot of the Shang Dynasty’s succession of royal powers. Things were developing step by step, and the Great Tribulation was also going out of control.

Let’s not talk about the matter of the three Saints signing the God roll, just look at the development of the God roll. In the beginning, the King of Shang, Di Xin, had insulted the Goddess of Nuwa with a frivolous poem. The Goddess had summoned tens of thousands of demons and chosen the three demons of the Xuanyuan Tomb — the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Lute Spirit, and the Nine-Headed Pheasant. She had gone to charm the Emperor Di Xin and accelerate the destruction of the Shang Nation as punishment.

After that, the Emperor Di Xin became tyrannical, the Zhou Nation rose, and the vassal alliance of the anti-commerce nations was established. The immortals of Chan School and Jie School all joined the Zhou and Shang factions…

Among them, the bear child causing trouble at Chentang Custom was far before the tragic death of Zhao Gongming by the Ten Absolute Arrays and the suppression of the twelve Golden Immortals by the Nine-Turn Yellow River Array.

To a certain extent, the story of Nezha could be used as a reference for the subsequent plans of the God Roll.

Where is that spiritual pearl now? Is it in the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother, or in some corner of Goddess Nuwa’s Palace? Li Changshou did not have any information about that and was not in a hurry. After all, Nezha’s father was cultivating on the Heaven-Breaking Peak next door.

He would definitely be caught bare-handed… Pui!

It was time to put the Great Compassionate Father’s cultivation plan on the agenda!

“Third Sister, Third Sister!”

In a private room of a rather famous Primordial chain restaurant in a certain bustling town that was tens of thousands of kilometers away in the depths of the South Ocean, Zhao Gongming, who had taken off his favorite armor, changed into an ordinary Daoist robe and hid his aura, asked worriedly, “You’ve been out for so long. When are you going to get down to business? Don’t deceive me. If Second Sister finds out…” “Aiya, how long has it been?!” Qiong Xiao had just drunk some fine wine, and her face was a little flushed.

She was leaning against the window and looking at the immortal lights and flying people outside. She complained, “It’s not as lively on the island as it is outside. Sister is so careful. I don’t know what she’s afraid of. Brother, apart from the six Saints, are there many experts that you can’t defeat now?” “There should be some.” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and pondered. “Don’t say anything else. Didn’t you say that you have a brilliant plan? Junior Sister Ren Jinguang is still waiting for my reply on the island. I can’t keep waiting.” Qiong Xiao snorted. “It’s actually the best solution now. Brother, you have to clarify your conscience first. Otherwise, you will blame me for being nosy after I help you reject your Dao companion.”

“This…”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. “That’s why I can’t make up my mind. Now, the words ‘Dao companions’ already mean an immortal couple. When Junior Sister Golden Light revealed her thoughts to me, she was also intending to become husband and wife.”

“Brother, don’t you like this?”

Qiong Xiao chuckled. “Life is divided into Yin and Yang. Great desires have existed since ancient times. Why do you have to avoid the matters of men and women?”

Zhao Gongming frowned and said, “Why do you think that? It’s as if you know very well!”

Qiong Xiao smacked her lips and sighed. “Brother, don’t you understand what you’re hiding from?” “Huh?”

“Are you really not interested in Junior Sister Golden Light? Or do you feel that you have become a famous figure in the world since the ancient times? Have you lost your pride by imitating the behavior of Postnatal living beings?” After saying that, Qiong Xiao imitated Zhao Gongming in a rough voice. “Aiyaya! How could I do such a thing!?! Wouldn’t Dual Cultivation be a joke!?! What will happen to the demeanor of an expert!?!”

Master Zhao could not help but be stunned. He carefully experienced and pondered. “Third Sister, what you said makes sense…”

Qiong Xiao cleared her throat and sat on the round chair. She smiled and said, “Brother, do you know what this is?”

“Please explain.”

“Being reserved.”

“Uh…”

“How is it?” Qiong Xiao’s eyes curved into crescents. “My analysis is not worse than your Brother Changgeng’s, right? I know you well. I understand your temperament. That’s why I have to help you. Changgeng can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.” Zhao Gongming nodded slowly, his eyes filled with relief.

How fortunate it is to have such a sister!

However… Zhao Gongming scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses. With his strength, he could naturally see through the arrangements everywhere. The indescribable scene that could be seen everywhere made Zhao Gongming speechless again. “So, this is why you brought me to the World Edge Pavilion?”

Qiong Xiao’s eyes curved into crescents again. She waved her fist at Zhao Gongming. “Brother! Today is the best time for you to let go of your reservations and face these matters! This place is full of fate for love and one-day romances where you will have a few hours of experience in love! Brother, you have yet to accept Junior Sister Golden Light. No one can control you!” After saying that, Qiong Xiao took out a jade token and gently pressed it twice. The immortal light around the private room faded away, and fairies in chiffon clothes walked over. All of them were gorgeous and had slender waists. “Big Brother! I’ll take my leave first!”

Qiong Xiao stood up and cupped her hands. Her figure disappeared in a flash, leaving Zhao Gongming confused. “Immortal Elder.” A charming woman walked forward and asked gently, “How do you like us to address you? Some ordinary terms are like Senior, Fellow Daoist, Junior Brothers, Senior Brother, and Masters… As long as you have any instructions, we will do it.” Zhao Gongming coughed and stood up. He cupped his hands and left a pile of Spirit Stones on the table. He immediately turned around and was about to leave. He thought to himself, Third Sister is really fooling around… However, just as Zhao Gongming was about to leave, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned around. He first raised his hand and created an immortal power barrier that enveloped the private room. Then, he casually used the Fixed Body Art to make the fairies of the World Edge Pavilion unable to move. Zhao Gongming closed his eyes and listened carefully. The image of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl appeared behind him. Just as he was about to leave, he subconsciously checked the World Edge Pavilion once to prevent himself from being seen and spreading a bad reputation. Zhao Gongming discovered two familiar auras! The old Daoist priest of the Spiritual Mountain was one of the two that he had scammed. There was no mistake!

Alright, how long has it been? Why is he here to create trouble again?

He even said that he would seal himself in the mountain for a thousand years! These words are really…

Forget it. It’s not appropriate for the Saint to scold him either. According to what Brother Changgeng often said, I should be steady. Why did they come to the World Edge Pavilion? If he wants to experience the temporary love tribulation, why not go to the West Ocean? Even if it is to conceal his whereabouts, the best place would be the East Ocean or the North Ocean.

Moreover, there are several experts with strong auras in the suite on the top floor, apart from the two old Daoists.

From the auras of these experts, they seem to be from the ancient demon race. “There’s a problem.” Zhao Gongming was shocked. He immediately made a series of connections…

He had been brought around by Qiong Xiao and had heard about the recent battle of the Demon Ascension Mountain.

With the help of his brother-in-law-to-be, the Heavenly Courts began to dominate the four seas. Zhao Gongming was a little proud. In this place, the experts of the Western Sect and the Demon Clan had secretly met. There was not even a single ‘fateful relationship’ in the suite. That was very obvious. Zhao Gongming waited quietly for a while and listened to the conversation between the five people with his own abilities.

Yada-yada.

Zhao Gongming was soon enraged. He really wanted to rush up and lie down. However, in the end, he heard from the two old Daoists from the spiritual mountain that they seemed to be going to meet someone

Follow him and lie down together! A few rays of light flashed across Zhao Gongming’s eyes. He immediately sent a voice transmission and called out to Qiong Xiao, who was hiding not far away and using the trinket that Li Changshou had given her back then — the “Synchronized Shadow-Retaining Ball” to record the scene in the private room… Uh, don’t worry about these small details. When Qiong Xiao heard that, she immediately stopped playing around. She immediately made preparations and secretly met up with Zhao Gongming. She quietly followed behind the two old Daoists and headed towards the intersection between the South Ocean and the West Ocean. An hour later, the two old Daoists arrived at an island and saw the young Daoist who was sitting on a green-furred divine beast… “Brother, are your skills rusty?” Qiong Xiao asked softly.

“No.”

A thousand kilometers away from the island, Zhao Gongming took a deep breath and adjusted his expression. He rushed to the sky in a flash and flew to the West Ocean, appearing rather relaxed. He happened to pass by the island while flying… The young Daoist and the two old Daoists discovered Zhao Gongming’s figure at the same time. The expressions of the two old Daoists changed and they immediately hid their figures. However, Zhao Gongming’s aura suddenly became unstable. It was as if his old injuries were acting up. He took out a jade token from the sky and shouted at it, “Sister, come and help me. Someone… Wow! Pfft!” Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Gongming spat out blood and immediately rushed towards the island. After a few flashes, he landed on the island and fell in front of… the young Daoist and the two old men.

The young Daoist reacted quickly and frowned. “Senior, why are you…” “Pfft!” Zhao Gongming ignored him. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. The light in his eyes dissipated, and he slowly fell to the ground. “You guys are… so vicious…”
