My Senior Brother is Too Steady
chapter-593

Why aren’t Brother and Sister back yet? Could they have encountered some trouble?

Although he had been passing by the Saint Taiqing previously and Bai Ze’s classic interpretation, Zhao Gongming was still worried.

Moreover, at that moment…

He had a strong premonition.

Is the Chaos Sea a good place to go?

If they want to find an opportunity to be alone, they can casually find a beautiful place in the Primordial World. Wouldn’t it be great?

Now, he had lost contact with his closest brother and his sworn sister.

If he did not help, who could help his gentle, cute, and honest second sister?

After all, there had never been a good brother who was so similar to him. He had broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge. He had been promoted from an ordinary outer sect senior brother of Jie School to someone with character…

The people of the Ancestral Realm of the Primordial World.

Zhao Gongming was calculative. If the Xuandu City received news that the Chaos Sea needed help, he would ride the Golden Roc and charge over with lightning.

However, what was going on in the Xuandu City?

Senior Brother Xuan Du and Kong Xuan chatted and laughed every day!

Everyone could tell that Ren School was going to marry the phoenix race!

The Golden Roc was a rash young man. He insisted on staying in Xuandu City to be a “stone statue”. As an experienced person, Zhao Gongming could not ruin the atmosphere.

Therefore, Zhao Gongming had previously left the Xuandu City and wandered in the Chiliocosm that was closest to the Xuandu City. He found a place with good scenery and lived there. He even spread his Dao runes far away, afraid that others would not know that he was there.

Unfortunately, the Goddess of Golden Spirit had returned to the Green Touring Palace to cultivate and did not stay there with him openly.

Master Zhao had always wanted to settle the marriage between him and the Goddess of Golden Spirit. He wanted to take back some gifts that he had given out since the ancient times.

However, judging from the Goddess of Golden Spirit’s intentions, it seemed that the two of them could just stay together in secret. They did not want to publicize their Dao companion marriage.

What he had to say was that there was nothing going on here. The Goddess of Golden Spirit did not want to publicize it purely because she could not bring herself to do so.

There was definitely no side story!

Zhao Gongming could only listen and not say anything.

In the past twenty to thirty years, Master Zhao had been a little lonely without Jin Ling by his side. However, he was still an ancient living being. He stared blankly at the sky and stared at the lake for a while. In a flash, he was gone.

He waited for Bai Ze’s greeting, Perfected Taiyi’s message, Eldest Senior Brother Duobao’s reminder, and that voice…

“Brother.”

“Ahem!”

Zhao Gongming almost lost his breath. His legs trembled slightly. He, who was fishing by the lake, immediately stood up and hurriedly stuffed the paintings in front of him back into his storage Dharma treasure.

A wisp of golden light flashed. It was naturally the Golden Roc. There were two figures standing on it.

Zhao Gongming took a closer look. Who else could it be but the two people he had been waiting for?

Huh?

There’s a problem…

Why is Second Sister wearing Brother Changgeng’s Daoist robe? It’s even meticulously trimmed and tailored.

Uh, are these two spending so much money on clothes to wear when they are alone?

However, Zhao Gongming frowned and pondered for a while. The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls surrounded him and looked at the Golden Roc warily.

“Wait, don’t lean over first.”

Li Changshou blinked. Yun Xiao was puzzled.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Are you really Changgeng?”

Zhao Gongming frowned and said, “Why did I look for you when we first met?”

“For the matter about the incense offerings.”

Li Changshou replied casually. When he saw Zhao Gongming’s reaction, he had a bad premonition.

After he returned to Xuandu City with Yun Xiao, he only met the Great Daoist Master and Kong Xuan. When he sensed Zhao Gongming’s aura, he immediately looked for him.

After all, before he returned, he had seen the tragic scene regarding Zhao Gongming in the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi.

At that moment, Li Changshou had only activated the paper effigy in the Grand White Palace. After confirming that Ling’e was safe and sound, he did not have the time to investigate.

Judging from Zhao Gongming’s reaction, could it be that someone had taken advantage of his absence to cause trouble?

Li Changshou’s mind raced. He immediately added, “The Spring Flower and Autumn Moon painting that you observed just now is the 162th painting that I gave you. The theme is the blooming of the crabapple flowers and the rain. The main composition is…”

“Alright! Alright!”

Zhao Gongming hurriedly shouted, “I know that you’re my brother! Don’t spout nonsense.”

On the Golden Roc’s back, Fairy Yun Xiao looked elsewhere. Her slightly furrowed eyebrows, helpless smile, and the faint blush on her face indicated…

She had also used her immortal senses to see the contents of the painting.

Two indecent people.

Li Changshou smiled calmly. The small scheme was insignificant. He hurriedly asked, “Brother, when did you become so cautious? Did something happen?”

“This.” Zhao Gongming waved his sleeve and floated up with his hands behind his back. The courtyard of the straw hut behind him scattered with the wind.

He said, “You just came back? Take a rest first. It’s not a big deal.”

“Did someone pretend to be me and cause trouble?”

“That’s right.” Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “It’s a long story. You went to the Chaos Sea to chase after Kun Peng and did not appear for many years so the Heavenly Courts have lost their sense of propriety, especially in the past decade, the Heavenly Courts had not been living well. By the way, how is Kun Peng?”

“Fortunately, I did not disappoint you.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. “Golden Roc, return to the Heavenly Courts at full speed.”

The Golden Roc answered firmly, “Yes, Master!”

“Brother, talk to Yun while I use my incarnation to look around.” Li Changshou sat down with a gloomy expression.

He had completely lost contact with the Primordial World in the Chaos Sea. He was most worried about Ling’e’s safety. Secondly, he was worried about whether the Western Sect would attack the Heavenly Courts.

Now, it seemed that the Western Sect had really attacked.

As expected, the Western Sect would never disappoint.

At the same time, on the city wall of Xuandu City,

Two rocking chairs that were less than a foot apart were swaying gently. The Great Daoist Master stretched his back and rested his head on his arm as he looked at the Chaos Sea.

Right beside the Great Daoist Master, Kong Xuan, who was dressed in a thin dress and colorful immortal light, held a book in one hand and read it quietly.

The two of them did not talk much, but they got along well. They gave off a comfortable vibe.

Kong Xuan seemed to have thought of something. He put down the book in his hand and turned to the Great Daoist Master.

“Did you notice anything strange when Changgeng and Yun Xiao appeared together just now?”

“Huh?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was stunned. “What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with them? I will not mistake their Great Dao. Don’t think too much.”

“I’m not saying that they’re fake,” Kong Xuan said softly. “Didn’t you go to the Grand Pure One Temple to ask the Saint? What did the Saint say that time?”

“Teacher said that Junior Brother and Junior Sister Yun Xiao are safe and sound. They are in the secret place of Kun Peng in the Chaos Sea. Kun Peng has been subdued long ago.”

“After careful calculation, it has been more than thirty years.”

Kong Xuan lowered his voice and pursed his red lips. His phoenix-like eyes burned with the soul of gossip.

“However, when I saw the two of them just now, their auras were clearly separated. Their Dao runes had yet to fuse. One of them is still a virgin while the other is still a Solitary Yang Body. No matter how high their cultivation levels are, they can’t hide this from me. Is that normal?”

“Is this… abnormal?”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned and asked. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was amiss.

The Great Daoist Master muttered, “Changgeng and Junior Sister Yun Xiao have a deep relationship. In such a secret place in the Chaos Sea, they did not move at all for more than thirty years. Could it be…”

“Could it be?”

“That’s not right. What doesn’t Changgeng know?”

The Great Daoist Master shook his head and smiled. “Don’t forget that Changgeng is the ambassador of Jie School’s Dao companion. He has helped hundreds of Dao companions in Jie School. Among the three sects, Changgeng is the most knowledgeable about romance between men and women.”

“Some people are just eloquent. When I saw him speaking so confidently, I thought that he was a master of a certain Dao.” Kong Xuan pursed his lips. “However, when it comes to himself, his hands and feet are in a deadlock. He does everything.”

The Great Daoist Master frowned and said, “Huh? Why do I feel that you are implying something?”

“Am I?”

Kong Xuan squinted, smiled, and did not say anything else.

She returned to her sitting position from the side. Her enchanting curves behind the thin veil were actually so charming under the light of the array wall.

A certain Great Daoist Master cleared his throat and continued to rest his head on his arm while staring at the Chaos Sea.

After some time, the Great Daoist Master sighed and whispered, “The Void is illusory, and only the Dao exists forever.”

Kong Xuan’s slender fingers paused as she flipped through the book. There was a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes, but she was not in a hurry. She continued to sit quietly by the side.

…

Li Changshou scanned the area and almost cursed.

Apart from him, no one in the Heavenly Courts could control the situation.

The Western Sect is really good at seizing opportunities!

Putting aside the fact that the Immortal Alliance was being controlled everywhere in the trichiliocosm…

In the five continents, Li Changshou’s mind skipped through the paper effigy network and saw scenes.

The five Heavenly Gates of the Heavenly Courts were closed. The number of immortal soldiers stationed outside had reduced by 50%.

The flames of war in the North Continent rose again. The demons and the Magi confronted each other. Both sides suffered casualties.

Blood Qi surged everywhere in the Middle Continent. Within an hour of searching with Li Changshou’s immortal senses, two Immortal Sects of the three sects fought. The auras of the disciples of Chan School and Jie School were hidden in the dark.

In the four seas, the conflict between the dragon race and the Sea Clan was stirred up again. At the border between the North Ocean and the East Ocean, a large number of dead fish and prawns floated on the surface of the sea. It was obvious that it was the situation after the battle.

In fact, half of the Sea God Sect that he had been raising for many years had been destroyed. The Burning Incense Sect of the Western Sect had revived.

How many years has it been?

Thirty-five years!

If he and Yun Xiao stayed outside for three to five hundred years, the good situation that he had worked hard to create would be destroyed.

Li Changshou suppressed his anger and quickly thought of a solution.

He could not change anything by venting his emotions. Now, he had to figure out the losses everywhere. He had to boost his morale and gradually retract his “lost land” to suppress the Western Sect’s arrogance.

On the Golden Roc’s back, Li Changshou opened his eyes and squeezed out an ugly smile.

“Brother, did someone impersonate me previously?”

“Ah.” Zhao Gongming immediately said, “There are a total of three times that I impersonated you. The first time was more than ten years ago. At that time, you appeared in the North Continent and invited the Magi of the North Continent to attack. You worked with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to deal with the demons at the border of the North Continent. In the end, you lured a large number of Magi into the trap of the demons. The second and third times were in the trichiliocosm. The first time, they targeted the Immortal Alliance and caused the Immortal Alliance to suffer a huge defeat. The third time was against the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals who had given Spirit Stones and Immortal Pills to the Immortal Alliance. At that time, the Heavenly Generals and the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang, had already seen through the other party’s scheme, but they still suffered heavy casualties. After that, Senior Brother Duobao ordered the immortals of Jie School to spread the news. He said that you had yet to return and that he was investigating the person who pretended to be you.”

“What appearance did my impostor use?”

“It’s naturally the appearance of the old man you often show others.”

Li Changshou nodded slowly and frowned. “That’s a good thing.”

Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao were puzzled. Yun Xiao asked, “Why is that a good thing? According to the rules of the Primordial World, the person who impersonated you is already our mortal enemy. This matter cannot be underestimated.”

“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I will not underestimate this matter. However, if you can impersonate me and deceive the Grand Magi and the Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Immortal Alliance, I’m afraid you have even imitated my Dao runes and aura. This person’s cultivation level is probably not weak. His mystical abilities are not low either. If the news of me returning to the world spreads, he will definitely disappear.”

Zhao Gongming asked, “Could he have already sneaked into the Heavenly Courts?”

“The Heavenly Courts are guarded by the three divine swords. It is also the place with the richest Heavenly Dao power. It will naturally not be affected.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “I’ll go to the Netherworld later. I’ll naturally know who that person is. The Truth Listener divine beast can’t take advantage of the protection of the Heavenly Dao for nothing. Let’s not talk about this first. Brother, have you felt… restless recently? Do you want to move around?”

Zhao Gongming blinked. “No. I’ve been very stable recently. I just want to find a place to sleep.”

Li Changshou and Yun Xiao looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding.

Yun Xiao said, “Brother, are you willing to listen to my advice?”

“Of course I have to listen.” Zhao Gongming sat upright with his legs crossed. He looked confident and puffed out his chest. “Second Sister, tell me. I will definitely follow your orders!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Why does it sound a little strange?

Yun Xiao said, “Actually, it’s nothing. I just want you and Senior Sister Jin Ling to move to Three-Immortal Island. After I return this time, when the time is right, I will send out an invitation and invite the inner and outer sect disciples to the Three-Immortal Island to preach the Dao. You and Senior Sister Golden Spirit can stay on the island. You don’t have to stay for too long. Just pass the Great God-Conferment Tribulation this time.”

Zhao Gongming frowned and pondered for a while. He looked at Yun Xiao and then at Li Changshou.

“Second Sister, do you mean that… I’m afraid there will be trouble in the future?”

Yun Xiao nodded slightly. Li Changshou did not say anything.

Zhao Gongming pondered for a while and smiled unrestrainedly. “It’s fine if you move over. Jin Ling will probably be in a difficult position. Moreover, I’m not a child. There’s no need to look at me like that. Second Sister, don’t worry. I’ll just cultivate in seclusion in the Luofu Cave. I don’t know anything about anything else. How about that? Actually, if the calamity comes, we cannot avoid it. It’s not easy to break the situation. Second Sister…”

“Huh?”

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “If I really have a Great Tribulation and can’t avoid it, don’t be too rash and take advantage of the calamity. Changgeng is here. I will discuss everything with him.”

Li Changshou smiled and nodded slowly.

However, because the identity of the person who was in charge of the Tribulation was too special, he could not say anything even in this place.

Yun Xiao’s gaze was a little complicated, but she did not persuade him. She only reminded Zhao Gongming not to be rash.

Li Changshou sighed.

All of them sounded nice. They reminded him not to be rash. When it came to the matter, they were probably more superior than the other.

It was best for him, an “outsider”, to take action.

The message that the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi carried was actually just an image. It could happen in the future, or the Heavenly Dao would guide it in that direction.

Putting everything else aside, it was completely theoretically possible to arrange for Master Zhao’s incarnation to transcend the tribulation.

In the original Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Zhao Gongming had gone down the mountain to enter the tribulation because the Ten Absolute Arrays had been broken one after another. The ten Heavenly Lords had died tragically. They were all Zhao Gongming’s good friends.

Now, the Great Array of the ten Heavenly Lords has probably become the “Ten Absolutes of Heaven Extermination Earth Yin-Yang Array”…

Ahem, that had nothing to do with him. Back then, he had only given the concept of a chain array. The ten Heavenly Lords had figured out such a huge array themselves. They had even demonstrated it on Golden Ao Island previously.

Now, the catalyst for Master Zhao’s calamity was very likely not the ten Heavenly Lords.

What exactly happened that caused Zhao Gongming to be imprisoned and seriously injured?

This matter was really difficult to figure out.

The final Immortal Massacre Tribulation of the three sects of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation suddenly seemed imminent.

The Golden Roc flew at high speed and shot towards the five continents from the Xuandu City.

Li Changshou quickly returned to the topic and chatted with Zhao Gongming, easing the worry in his eyes.

Yun Xiao was also a little worried. She was naturally worried that her elder brother would face the calamity. However, she did not say much to Li Changshou. She seemed to want to think of a solution herself.

On the way back, Li Changshou did not idle.

His paper effigy began to be active in the Heavenly Courts. First, he went to see the Jade Emperor and understood what had happened recently with General Dongmu.

He did not forget to send a voice transmission to Ling’e to tell her that he was back. Ling’e was so happy that she spun around.

Fortunately, General Dongmu was still around and did not reincarnate to become the Pure Yang Daoist.

Li Changshou heard about a series of fierce attacks launched by the Western Sect, from General Dongmu. From the trichiliocosm to the five continents, the Heavenly Courts had lost many troops, but they were not injured.

Instead, the Jade Emperor smiled and said, “It’s actually reasonable for the Western Sect to be so anxious. Changgeng might not know.”

“Your Majesty, what happened?”

The Jade Emperor sat on the jade steps and smiled. “You were swallowed by Kun Peng in the Xuandu City… Ahem, when you rushed into Kun Peng’s mouth and wanted to destroy it from the inside, the two Saints of the Western Sect had once appeared to stop Senior Brother Tongtian from killing Kun Peng.”

“The battle between the Grandmaster of Heaven and the two of them in the Chaos Sea should have been a draw. Neither side suffered any losses.”

“However, when the three Saints appeared in the Xuandu City and were about to return to the Primordial World, the Grand Pure One suddenly appeared. Not only did he injure Saint Jie Yin with one palm, but he also destroyed 20% of Saint Zhun Ti’s Dao.”

“This is the Saint realm. Saint Zhun Ti was originally the Sixth Saint. Now, his position is probably unstable. Hahaha!”

General Dongmu hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, don’t laugh so obviously.”

“Really?” The Jade Emperor pursed his lips. “It’s really venting.”

Li Changshou looked enlightened. He pondered carefully and continued to ask General Dongmu about the subsequent matters.

Before he returned to the Heavenly Courts, the paper effigy had already begun to preside over various tasks. He first stabilized the interior and exterior of the Heavenly Courts before counterattacking the Western Sect appropriately.

The battle in the trichiliocosm was a troublesome matter. He would have to put in a lot of effort later.

Also, the culprit who impersonated him was his next whetstone. He had to catch this matter and not let it go!

There was no intention of belittling Eldest Senior Brother Duobao.

However, Li Changshou did not expect that.

Just as he was working hard for the Heavenly Courts and making arrangements with the intention of turning the tide and changing the situation, his main body sat on the Golden Roc and entered the five continents with Fairy Yun Xiao and Master Zhao…

His Dao heart suddenly trembled and his heart strings vibrated slightly. A few lines of words condensed in his heart, but they were not too clear Dao runes.

98%. Come to Purple Cloud Palace quickly!

I’ve thought of a way to explain how I lost the Primordial Violet Qi!

Ah, it’s really here.
