Chapter 58 (2/2)

However, he could change his way of thinking.

For example, after returning to the mountain, he could ask Lan Ling’e for help, so that she could get a few strands of essence, Qi, and spirit out. He would then condense them into a fire seedling by himself and store them in his body.

It was just that Lan Ling’e’s cultivation was still shallow and she had yet to reach the Void Return Realm. Hence, the kind of fire seedling condensed would be too weak.

Being too strong or too weak were both unattractive.

Also, it was easy to deteriorate Lan Ling’e’s health.

With a twirl of his fingertips, Li Changshou had an extra wisp of True Samadhi Flames in his palm, and he began to think of other solutions.

There was a solution to every problem. Li Changshou took a few days to figure out the solution.

He just wouldn’t use it.

‘Ahem, I’ll just use the Qi flame.’

He would use the power of the Primordial Spirit within the Qi flame to simulate his spirit flame’s fluctuations and the essence flame. The power of his own Qi flame alone at this time was quite strong, but it was not too outstanding.

Life was probably like this—It was hard to be perfect.

The method of increasing his strength, concealing his aura, and simulating his aura could deceive the seniors of higher cultivation. However, it also left a small flaw to the True Samadhi Flames.

After going back, he should always pay attention to this matter.

When a Perfected Immortal grasped his wrist, it would be difficult for the other party to see his true cultivation level even if they deliberately probed.

This illness that caused him to twitch when a woman touched him could also be healed.

Having made this journey in the mortal world, Li Changshou had reaped some benefits.

‘Speaking of earning merits, engaging in some inventions for the human race seems to give merits as well.’

After stroking his chin for a while to ponder, he quickly dismissed such thoughts.

There were still relatively many opportunities to earn merits among the human race, such as medicine and production tools.

However, the prerequisite for doing so was that he had to be strong enough.

By relying on his own acc.u.mulation at this point, as soon as great merits or abnormal phenomena were granted by the Heavenly Dao, it would definitely be known by the Six Saints.

The most likely outcome for himself was that the old Saints would see through him. Then, they would extract his soul and dissect it…

‘I should just cultivate honestly.”

Li Changshou laughed softly in his heart, dispelling these vivid thoughts.

While sitting steadily, he could be carefree…

‘I’ll go?’

What did that mean?

Without warning, some fine fuzzy images and a wisp of fuzzy sensation appeared in Li Changshou’s heart.

In that image, a group of strong men and women were… kneeling and praying for blessings at his feet?

He quickly predicted with his fingers and was soon caught between laughter and tears.

What was going on?

Had the Xiong Village really made a statue of him and wors.h.i.+ped him as a Sea G.o.d?

The Heavenly Dao was self-perpetuating. Was he also receiving incense offerings now?

Didn’t this seem like coercion?

Li Changshou shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was not too worried about the matter at first.

After all, it was only a village with 1,000 people. After they made up an inaccurate Sea G.o.d and found that it didn’t work after a few months, they would naturally stop wors.h.i.+pping.

He would not get too much karma from this.

But soon, Li Changshou realized that things weren’t that simple.

Wasn’t he now equivalent to competing with the Western school for incense offerings alone?

If the Western school’s Saints sensed this and they predicted with their fingers…

‘No, I have to rush back to the Immortal Du Sect and return to the Grand Pure One’s territory!’

With the old ones up there, he did not need to fear those two in-name disciples, who brainwashed and undermined people!

Among the Six Saints, only the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were considered to be the progenitors of the Dao.

Of course, it was unlikely that the Grand Pure One came from the Immortal Du Sect.

As long as the Western school had fears, that would be enough.

Li Changshou was immediately alert, and his figure disappeared in the earth cave, heading towards the East Continent.

The journey was much faster than when he came, and there was much less excitement on the way.

Occasionally, he would skim onto spiritual beasts, hear children’s pastoral songs, and also get to see a couple pack up their valuables to elope and get chased by a group of villagers. That uninterrupted expedition was still bloodshed.

Li Changshou left the South Continent and entered the East Continent. While he explored, he rushed to the Immortal Du Sect.

After two days, when there were still 10,000 kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect, he deliberately slowed down the speed of his Earth Escape to meet the limit of a disciple at the Third Stage or Fourth Stage of the Void Return Realm and slowly approached his own sect.

After entering the 1,000 kilometers range, Li Changshou finally heaved a sigh of relief.

It was truly a great blessing in life to have the protection of an immortal sect!

However, Li Changshou had said that he was returning home to guard his parents’ grave. If he couldn’t last three years, he was afraid that he would become the topic and attract bystanders’ attention when he returned to the mountain.

It was not good to be abnormal. Most of the disciples would stay in the mortal world and enjoy for two more years.

It was finally peaceful in this place.

Li Changshou found a mountain hideout near the Immortal Du Sect’s spiritual mine and was prepared to cultivate there for two years before returning to the mountain.

The Primordial World was truly dangerous!

The human heart was too complicated!

He had clearly done nothing to the Xiong Village, and yet, they were wors.h.i.+pping him, forcing him to compete with the Western school for incense offerings!

Now that he had survived the Tribulation Transcendence, he had to implement the idea of staying in the mountain and never going out!

The mortal world was a dangerous place. There was no peace on earth!

If he wandered around again, he would just… just…

Well, the oath of the Primordial World was very accurate, and he couldn’t speak the words from his heart at will.

…

“Senior Brother!”

Under the willow tree by the lake, Lan Ling’er, who was meditating in her loose training attire, suddenly opened her eyes and breathed more heavily.

“It’s a dream.”

Lan Ling’e exhaled softly. She had fallen asleep accidentally while meditating just now and dreamt that her senior brother was trapped by a group of strong, strange people. The scene was very chaotic, and her senior brother was about to be pinned down on the ground.

Fortunately, she sensed someone coming outside and woke up from her dream.

‘Oh?’

Lan Ling’e looked up at the figure she had sensed. That was a somewhat familiar senior sister, who she didn’t quite know and was drifting on the cloud and wandering around the Little Qiong Peak surroundings, seemingly hesitant to enter the isolation array.
