Chapter 139 - The Lessons of the Great Daoist Master (2/2)
Li Changshou nodded in agreement and said, “Great Daoist Master, why don’t you teach me this principle?”
“This is just a warning. Who can really not be affected by karma?”
Xuan Du smiled and said, “I’m just trying to remind you.
Golden Immortals who enjoy longevity are nothing. So what if some are in the Zenith Heaven realm? Don’t be complacent just because you have ascended. It’s only right for you to focus on cultivation.”
Li Changshou stood up and bowed. He felt that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was personable and affectionate.
Li Changshou really wanted to have a chat with Xuan Du because he suddenly felt like the hard work that he had done for hundreds of years had finally been recognized.
However, he could not.
He had to stay alert all the time.
Even though he felt grateful towards the Great Mage who was very concerned about him, he could not rely on him or trust him completely.
It was impossible for the Great Daoist Master to keep staring at him.
Moreover, if someone were to attack him, the Great Daoist Master would at most be able to help collect his corpse. If his body was still warm, he could stuff him a Nine Revolution Golden Pill or something…
He was thinking too much.
“Then, you can handle the matters of the dragon race as you deem fit.”
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du patted his knees. Seeing that the fire was almost burning out, he slowly stood up.
“Let’s end the conversation here today. Which mystical ability do you want to learn? I can’t go back on my words.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while. After some thought, he said, “Escape technique.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was stunned for a moment. Then, he clapped his hands and laughed. He took out two jade tokens from his sleeve.
“I originally planned to give it to you on two occasions as a reward. I’ll give it all to you at once. I have an escape technique but your cultivation level is too low to cultivate it. This is a technique that allows you to transform your body. You can comprehend it and perfect the mystical abilities of your paper effigies. There is also a sutra written by Teacher. It can give you some insight into the Dao. Just remember not to show off this sutra. Just figure it out yourself.”
Li Changshou held two jade tokens and revealed a somewhat joyous expression. “Thank you, Great Daoist Master.”
“After so many years, there’s finally a disciple from one of the various factions, whom Teacher values. I will take good care of you since you are a disciple that is valued by Teacher.”
Xuan Du patted Li Changshou’s shoulder. “Do you need me to show up in the Sea G.o.d Sect when I come down this time?
There was no one behind you in the past.
Now, you do.
However, it’s best if you don’t cause trouble everywhere. I like disciples who are more stable and reliable. If you cause too much karma, I might kill you myself.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Did he just give me a harsh remark after showing me some kindness?
“Don’t worry, Great Daoist Master, I will be extra careful when I do things in the future.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “The South Ocean is where the experts of the dragon race are gathered. I want to invite you to reveal your whereabouts, Great Daoist Master.
However, since the Ancestral Master has arranged for the dragon race to enter Heaven, I feel that there’s no need to alarm the Western Sect…”
“Oh?” Xuan Du squinted slightly. “What good plan do you have? Just say it. What I dislike the most is thinking about these things.”
“Yes… I’m spouting nonsense. If there’s anything wrong with my words, please don’t blame me.”
Li Changshou whispered a few words.
Xuan Du quickly smiled and nodded. “It’s similar to what I think.”
“I racked my brains to come up with this idea. I must have received your guidance, Great Daoist Master.”
“Yes, yes, not bad. If you can speak well, say a few more words.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
The experts are indeed all so unique.
Seeing that the Great Daoist Master was about to leave, Li Changshou hesitated for a moment before saying, “Great Daoist Master, I have something to say. I wonder if I should say it…”
“Just say it.”
“I understand that you implemented the system of Dao companions for the sake of helping the human race prosper… but…”
Xuan Du smiled. “Why? Is this plan not
good?”
“It’s naturally wonderful,” Li Changshou said in a low voice. “But the problem is that they… are not going to give birth…”
Xuan Du frowned. “Why is that so? Logically speaking, when Yin and Yang intersect, there should be a spirit born.”
Li Changshou immediately understood something.
It turned out that you have been meddling with the Dao companion system for so many years, yet you…
“Could it be that they can still control that matter themselves?” asked the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
“I’m 80% sure. I don’t know much about it… This is really too complicated.”
Li Changshou could only give that reply.
In the wilderness where the dragon race had ambushed in the Southwest of the South Continent, Ao Yi stood in the dust that filled the sky at the mountainside. He sighed in his heart.
If not for the schemes that the expert behind Brother Changshou had given him, the number of casualties we would suffer would definitely increase, even though the dragon race would still win.
I really owe Brother Changshou a big favor.
After returning to Golden Ao Island, Ao Yi decided to sum up the ‘Twenty-six Steps To Make The Enemy Retreat’ into a set of battle techniques. If Brother Changshou agreed, he would offer those techniques to his father…
At that moment, a few old dragons from the dragon race walked over worriedly.
An old dragon said, “Your Highness, the enemy we discovered this time is an ancient ferocious beast, a Blood-Winged Black Mosquito. It’s very ferocious… Can we invite experts from Ren School to appear so that we can resolve this situation where we are isolated and helpless?”
Ao Yi thought for a while after hearing that. Then, he nodded slowly. “I have to discuss this with Brother Sect Master before I can decide…”
“Oh?”
Suddenly, he heard a chuckle in the air.
Ao Yi paused in his speech. The dragons looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They looked at the spot that was thousands of feet high in the sky.
Over there, a figure in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back. It was unclear where he had come from and when he appeared. The person looked below and said, “Don’t hurt mortals.”
With that, the figure left behind a wisp of Dao runes and disappeared in a flash.
The dragons below looked at each other.
“That is…”
“The Great Daoist Master! This Dao rune is from the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du from the Dao Sect, Ren School!”
At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing, who was paying attention to the situation, suddenly s.h.i.+vered and her pique dissipated…
