My Senior Brother is Too Steady
chapter-484

Chapter 484 Li Changshou Tried His Best

The wind and rain last night were light, and he could not get drunk When dawn arrived, there were only messy cups and plates left in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple.

Daoist Wen Jing was the first to leave. She was not defeated, but the power of the Blood Mosquitoes had been exhausted.

In order to leave a good impression on the Great Daoist Master, she had also used a little trick. She did not absorb the vitality of the kitten. After the blood mosquito formed by her mystical ability dissipated, the kitten was safe and sound.

However, there were some side effects. It was especially clingy to the Great Daoist Master. At dawn, the second person to bid farewell was Kong Xuan.

There was something on his mind. Before he left, he gave Li Changshou a meaningful look. Li Changshou… pretended that he did not see it.

Can I directly get involved in this matter?

The main bodies of the Asura Arena were Kong Xuan, Daoist Wen Jing, and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. Apart from Daoist Wen Jing who was good at sneak attacks and scheming, none of them could be provoked. Most importantly… The Great Daoist Master was clearly a little resistant to that.

Before the Great Daoist Master left, he frowned and pondered carefully. After a long time, he reacted and muttered to himself, “Changshou, could it be that Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan thinks differently of me?”

Li Changshou squinted and smiled. “Senior Brother, you’re overthinking.”

“That’s good.” The Great Daoist Master heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s really difficult to deal with this matter. It’s so comfortable to sleep alone. It would be too restrained if there’s another person beside me.”

Li Changshou calmly added, “Both of them are very devoted to you, Senior Brother. You are no longer as simple as a Fellow Daoist to them.” The Great Daoist Master widened his eyes and paced back and forth for a while. He sighed and said, “Help me settle it!”

Li Changshou spread his hands. “This matter has too many implications. Daoist Wen Jing was named by Teacher. Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan is a rare expert in the world. Senior Brother, think about it. If we can attract Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan and make him an expert of Ren School… In the future, when we need top-notch experts to hold the fort, wouldn’t you be able to skive?”

He would teach according to talents and persuade others according to their nature. The Great Daoist Master thought carefully and smiled. “That’s true. Leaving aside the matter of Dao companions, I will not have such thoughts. If Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan can join our Ren School, the Dao Sect’s destiny will be more solid. Changshou, remember this matter and do your best to cause trouble. I’ll return to Xuandu City now.”

After saying that, Yin and Yang Qi surged out of the Great Daoist Master’s palm. He patted the Taiji Painting on Li Changshou’s shoulder, turned around, and disappeared. No matter how Li Changshou looked at it, the Great Daoist Master seemed to be fleeing. However, at the end of the day, the Great Daoist Master was still carefree. He felt that Kong Xuan and Daoist Wen Jing were troublesome and remained unmoved. Before the Great Daoist Master left, he even patted the Taiji Painting to him. Li Changshou knew that the Great Daoist Master would definitely hide in Xuandu City next…

The next time he wanted to see the Great Daoist Master, it would probably be the time for the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss matters.

Li Changshou casually scattered a handful of True Samadhi Flames. The tables, chairs, and bowls that Daoist Wen Jing and Kong Xuan had touched were all burned to ashes.

He stood at the door of the rear hall and sighed softly. His true body used Earth Escape and disappeared from the South Ocean.

Half a day later, Li Changshou returned to the Little Qiong Peak and placed the Taiji Painting, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Cosmic Ruler, and the Flame Flag in front of the Grand Pure One’s treasure map. He bowed thrice. A weak Dao rune floated above the Taiji Painting. The four treasures were taken back to the Grand Pure One’s side.

When Li Changshou saw that, he felt relieved. It seemed that he did not need to let his main body appear recently…

He brought Ling’e away from the underground space temporarily and came to the Little Qiong Peak to relax and take a breather. Ling’e brewed tea for him and brought two plates of snacks. Then, she rode a cloud to find Jiu Yushi to play. Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair and swayed his body gently. He played with a golden “longevity lock” in his hand…

The Grandmaster of Heaven had used such a precious treasure the moment he attacked. Was it really as Ling’e had thought? What was he hinting at?

The treasure had already introduced itself previously. It cast its spiritual perception into his heart and turned into a cold female voice.

“I am the Heart-Piercing Lock. Under the orders of the old master, I will listen to your orders in the future and be your companion treasure.” Li Changshou thanked it calmly. At that moment, he was familiarizing himself with the power of the Heart-Piercing Lock. This lock…

Li Changshou did not have many memories related to his previous life. His reputation was naturally far inferior to the Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords, the Qingping Sword, the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, and other treasures of Jie School.

However, to be able to communicate with him directly was the sign of a precious treasure. The Heart-Piercing Lock was also a treasure for killing. If he used this treasure, he could use it as a hidden weapon. It would not be a problem for him to kill ordinary Zenith Heaven Immortals. He could also use it as an immortal rope. At the same time, he could bind the other party’s essence soul and seal his immortal power.

It was a top-notch treasure for killing and robbing others!

It was quite similar to Li Changshou’s style of doing things.

Unfortunately, such a precious treasure could not be casually poisoned. He had to maintain sufficient respect for it. “Please take care of me in the future,” Li Changshou said with a smile. He held the Heart-Piercing Lock in his palm and began the preliminary ritual. The Heart-Piercing Lock did not resist. It was also taking the initiative to deepen its intimacy with Li Changshou and adapt to the power of Li Changshou’s essence soul… A breeze blew through the forest, and the leaves rustled. There were white clouds outside the array formation. Occasionally, human Qi Refinement Warriors could be seen flying in the sky. Unknowingly, Li Changshou’s mind wandered. He paced around the cloud and played with the returning birds. Then, he sighed and thought about the next thousand years.

Would I be able to escape unscathed after a thousand years?

He did not dare to casually insert a flag… After resting for half a day, he still had to return to the Heavenly Courts to get busy. This time, the Western Sect had won a small victory and their luck had improved. He had to think of a way to defeat them as soon as possible. There were still more than 80 years to go before the Purple Cloud Palace discussed the God-Conferment matter. Before that, there were still many things that he could do.

Li Changshou could not help but have a few questions…

Had Ksitigarbha been tricked by his master? Or was the entire plan controlled by the Saint? Did the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Grandmaster of Heaven realize that there would be a battle between Jie School and Chan School? When the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning mentioned the “Three Friends” that day, it was obvious that he was thinking about their old relationship. However, how many of such old relationships could fall on the disciples of the Grandmaster of Heaven? Would Perfected Taiyi’s mouth really trigger a civil war in the Dao Sect… Li Changshou could not help but yawn. He felt sleepy and immediately felt a sense of danger. He used his Clear Dao Heart to verify and confirm that the calamity did not affect him.

It should be because I’m a little tired from dealing with the Saint.

I should take a break from dividing my attention and mind into regions. Li Changshou closed his eyes and began taking a nap. The array formations around the Little Qiong Peak were ready. In a daze, Li Changshou seemed to have a dream. In the dream, he saw a blood-colored lotus flower. It was absorbing turbid spiritual energy in a hazy fog. The lotus flower had nine petals, but the tenth petal was slowly condensing. Li Changshou could not think much at that moment. He only “stared” at the lotus flower, wanting to read its message. His vision blurred again, and he saw the figure of a tall and thin old Daoist priest appear behind the lotus flower.

That scene flashed past quickly. The lotus flower shattered, and Li Changshou’s dream gradually dissipated.

Heavenly Dao Dao runes?

Li Changshou, who maintained his clear mind, keenly captured a Dao rune that flowed like a stream. The corners of his mouth twitched. He knew that the Heavenly Dao was hinting something to him! Coupled with the fact that he had already heard twice about the possibility that the Patriarch of the Nether River was still alive, no matter how he looked at it, the Patriarch of the Nether River might be coming back to life soon.

Li Changshou pondered carefully and decided…

He did not accept such hints.

What he saw in his dream and felt anxious was a common technique of the Heavenly Dao.

If the Dao Ancestor gave him a hint, he could just condense a few words. Previously, he had already set a precedent for “owing” and “next time”.

At that moment, Li Changshou could confirm that the Heavenly Dao was at least divided into three parts.

One of them was the will of the world.

The second was the will of all living beings.

The two of them intertwined with each other. With the Great Dao of the world as the foundation, the Heavenly Dao that regulated the world was born. It was impartial, heartless, and treated everything in the world equally. The development trend was the stability of the world. Thirdly, the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun was not completely assimilated by the Heavenly Dao after replenishing the entire Heavenly Dao. Although he could not escape from the Heavenly Dao, he could influence the Heavenly Dao greatly. The Great Calamity Luck should have evolved from the Heavenly Dao and was not directly related to the Dao Ancestor.

The reason Li Changshou could be so clear about it was because he had really come into contact with the calamity and used it to kill Daoist Lu Ya.

When the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice was recuperating, the black shadow that appeared in his Dao heart was a manifestation of the Tribulation Luck that was originally activated by the Heavenly Dao’s will.

It was not a living being, but the will of the Heavenly Dao itself. It supervised him not to cause trouble and allowed the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to be successfully activated. When the Dao Ancestor sent him two condensed words, the Dao runes that appeared were similar to the Tribulation Luck, but they were different. Therefore, Li Changshou could conclude that the Heavenly Dao wanted to use him as a Dharma treasure and deliberately gave him such a warning when he was resting. Wouldn’t it be more efficient if he just struck it with the Divine Lightning of the Purple Heavens?

Li Changshou would naturally not take the risk and stay at home to cultivate. If there were any changes in the Blood Sea, he could take the opportunity to build a team of experts from the Three Sects of the Dao Sect…

With Perfected Taiyi’s mouth, what team could not be opened? Speaking of which, which part of the Heavenly Dao had decided to kill Senior Lang back then? Li Changshou deduced carefully. He knew too little information and could not come to a conclusion.

However, the answer to that question was extremely important to him…

“Water God?! Water God!”

He suddenly heard an excited shout. Li Changshou quickly sobered up and felt refreshed. His breathing became much smoother, and the scenery in the forest in front of him was even more pleasant. A portion of his attention was diverted to the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence. He opened the paper effigy and looked at the bronze mirror to see the paper effigy’s appearance. The white-haired, white-robed, and thin face was benevolent and dignified. It was naturally the skin used by the Water God. Li Changshou opened the door of the study and saw Qin Tianzhu’s excited face. He smiled and said, “Marshal Qin, what happened?”

Previously, when he went to the Netherworld, the Jade Emperor had given his incarnation a reward based on merit. He had been promoted to the level of a Marshal. Qin Tianzhu widened his eyes and took a deep breath. He used his greatest strength to send a voice transmission.

“Yes!”

Li Changshou was a little stunned. Qin Tianzhu patted his thigh and grinned. “My junior sister is pregnant!” Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. He cupped his hands and sent a voice transmission.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is a joyous occasion!”

“Hehehe, hahahaha!” Qin Tianzhu immediately put his hands on his waist and laughed. He raised his head and puffed out his chest. He looked mighty. “It’s really not easy. Junior Sister and I are Connate lifeforms. Our Dao realms are not low!”

Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up. “Your Majesty, you are energetic and have brought good fortune to the people. You should have such good karma.”

As Qin Tianzhu laughed, Li Changshou congratulated him. It formed a strange silent scene that stunned the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Water God Residence.

Not long after, Qin Tianzhu composed himself and shouted loudly, informing Li Changshou to go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Li Changshou originally thought that the Jade Emperor would tell him about the ascension of the Deity Position. He did not expect that he would seal the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and drink a huge cup of wine.

In the end, the Jade Emperor collapsed on the jade steps. Li Changshou could only pretend to be drunk. The experience from his previous life told Li Changshou that… Even if he could hold his liquor better than his superior, he could not show it. Otherwise, he would either be dragged to block the alcohol or cause trouble for his superior.

The Queen Mother was pregnant. At that time, it coincided with the reincarnation of the Seven Emotions.

Li Changshou broke out in cold sweat. If he had not personally sent the incarnation of the Seven Emotions to the mortal world, he would have thought that there was a connection.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother did not publicize this matter, but there were rumors circulating in the Heavenly Courts. Many Heavenly Courts’ recorders were paying attention to the Jade Pool’s movements. Whenever they saw the Jade Pool, they would go up and ask. The tasks in the Heavenly Courts were considered leisurely. Such a huge matter was indeed enough to affect the nerves of the various immortals.

Ten months later.

The Queen Mother would not make any moves. The cycle of Connate lifeforms giving birth to children was different from mortals.

The woman that Li Changshou and Kong Xuan were looking for was about to give birth. Li Changshou secretly rushed to Kong Xuan’s place in the image of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God and protected him.

The woman successfully gave birth to a baby girl. At that moment, the sky was filled with rays of light. Magic clouds were everywhere, and pink petals floated all over the city. After the baby girl landed on the ground, she did not cry or make a fuss. She observed her surroundings with her large eyes and wore a grass ring on her wrist. However, she had just been born and was already beautiful. She was much older than ordinary babies. After the midwife received the reward, Kong Xuan naturally found a Heavenly Immortal realm avian fairy to take care of her.

At that moment, Little Grief and the others’ memories and personalities were still sealed. As she grew, they would awaken continuously. Sixteen years later, she would be able to return to her original incarnation of the seven emotions. The Dao Body was personally created by Goddess Nuwa and gave the seven Primordial Spirits of the Seven Emotions seven places to stay. In the future, they could choose to take turns to control this Dao Body. They could also coordinate with each other and attack others at the same time. They would not have any sense of being separated. Not long after, Kong Xuan, who was dressed in a white robe, Li Changshou, who was dressed in a green Daoist robe, and a few beautiful fairies gathered at the bedside and pondered. Kong Xuan said, “Since she’s the incarnation of the Seven Emotions, why don’t we call her the Seven Emotions?”

“No,” Li Changshou said. “Among the Seven Emotions, every incarnation is relatively independent. It would not be nice to use a name to include the seven of them.”

Kong Xuan smiled and said, “Then come and take

it.”

“The Lady of Earth has blessed all living beings. She is also the most gentle ancestor of the Magi. The incarnation of the seven emotions was born from her, and she has also fused with the seven emotions of all living beings. How about calling her… Tie Dan’er?”

A pin drop could be heard in the room. The baby girl, who was smiling foolishly, burst into tears. She kicked her legs and a faint aura of sadness spread out. Li Changshou smiled and said calmly, “The seven of you have indeed woken up. Don’t cause trouble. I will not give you names like that. I’m just testing you. This is a mortal place. Mortals value the seven emotions and six desires. Observe well here. If there’s anything, you can look for me or Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan at any time. Tell me where you want to go. I will arrange it for you. However, remember, if you use your mystical abilities to affect others and cause a tragedy, I will bring you out of this colorful world and into the mountains to cultivate.”

The baby girl rolled her eyes and yawned in her swaddling clothes. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Li Changshou smiled and looked at Kong Xuan before leaving the house. “Fellow Daoist, sorry to trouble you.”

“I should be the one thanking you,” Kong Xuan said seriously. “Be it taking care of the Shang Clan or the incarnation of the Seven Emotions, they can improve the luck of our Phoenix Clan.” Li Changshou waved his hand and smiled. “We’re family. You and my senior brother are close. I naturally have to think about these benefits for you.”

Kong Xuan immediately revealed a gentle smile. Then, he sighed softly. “Changgeng, do you know that I’ve already decided on the ownership of Yin and Yang? However, I’m missing a wisp of Connate Mysterious Yin Qi as a guide.”

Li Changshou hurriedly asked, “Where can I find this?”

“In the Chaos Sea or the moon,” Kong Xuan said. “Oh? The moon?” Li Changshou pondered for a while and smiled. “In that case, I’ll go to the moon and see if I can help

you.”

Kong Xuan felt a little embarrassed. After some thought, he asked softly, “Do you need me to help you with anything? I can’t feel at ease just receiving benefits from you.”

“Hey!”

Li Changshou waved his sleeve, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice, “Without Senior Brother Xuan Du, I wouldn’t be here today. In my heart, I only hope that Senior Brother Xuan Du can be safe and stable and have a Dao companion who is compatible with him so that he will be free and unrestrained in the mortal world. At this moment, I can only call Kong Xuan Fellow Daoist. However, in the future, I still want to call you… Senior Sister.”

Kong Xuan was stunned. He also looked at the sky and his eyes were filled with peace. He could not return to his senses for a long time. Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The fake heartfelt conversations were cheesy.

The core of the conversation was about his senior brother. It was to draw a beautiful future for Kong Xuan, who admired his senior brother. It would make Kong Xuan feel anticipation in his heart. Then, he would express that he would do his best to help and facilitate this matter!

That was Li Changshou’s repayment! Yes, I’ll think of a way to be stable and clean later. While Wen Jing can work for Ren School, I have to let her have more expectations for the future.

Senior Brother, I can only help you with these trivial matters.

“Tsk, tsk…”

On the city wall of Xuandu City, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who was sleeping, could not help but turn over. He raised his hand and pinched his nose before continuing to sleep comfortably.

The gray fog in the Chaos Sea in the distance rose and fell. However, there were no signs of the annoying otherworldly demons and otherworldly beings.

In an inconspicuous corner of the Blood Sea, the scene that Li Changshou had dreamed about ten months ago was there.

At that moment, the blood lotus had already condensed eleven petals. The twelfth petal already had a rough outline and illusion. It gathered the hatred, evil, and killing intent of all living beings and condensed endless negative karma. Behind the blood lotus, the old Daoist priest’s figure was extremely faint.

At this moment!

The dark world was suddenly illuminated by purple light. Purple lightning surged over like a violent wave and engulfed the blood lotus in the blink of an eye! However, after the lightning, the blood lotus was safe and sound. However, the old Daoist priest behind the blood lotus had disappeared. The endless negative karma in the sea of blood gathered again. A light white flame rose in the middle of the lotus flower.

It was strange and safe.
