Chapter 140 - Shocking the Crowd With One Move (1/2)
Li Changshou was in a good mood as he rode the clouds along the green mountains and rivers. He was much more confident than before.
He looked up to see the essence of the Earth and spat the essence of the Sun and Moon.
Warm sunlight suddenly shone into the dark, cold, and dark Primordial World…
“I’m not alone.”
Finally, he found a rare sense of approval!
Li Changshou felt a little poetic. He pondered for a while and said, “Although I have a huge backer now, I can’t relax.”
The Great Daoist Master’s arrival had indeed given him a booster. He now had a safety net. He had truly cozied up to the powerful big shot of Ren School.
However, there were two core members of Ren School. From the Sect Leader to the Head Disciple, they were all compliant and quiet.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du gave Li Changshou that warning so as to prevent Li Changshou from being conceited and complacent just because he had obtained the favor of the Saint…
Actually, the Great Daoist Master’s warning did not mean much to Li Changshou.
As soon as he bid farewell to the Great Daoist Master, Li Changshou thought about something…
“Why would I gain the favor of the Saint Lord?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and slowly thought about it.
Firstly, the Sea G.o.d Sect of the South Ocean involved the karma of the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race. That was why he had impressed the Sage.
Secondly, his previous actions should have been in line with the old Saint’s intentions. That was why he helped him to conceal the heavenly secret and tasked him with the mission to lead the dragon race to heaven. After piecing the clues together, Li Changshou began to figure everything out. Li Changshou knew very well that the founder did not give him benefits just because of his handsome face.
In order to obtain the protection of the Saint, he had to prove that he had a certain value. He had to maintain the principle of “keeping calm with inaction and avoiding karma”!
At the same time, he could not lower his cultivation level. Only by entering the Golden Immortal Realm would he be able to continue working for the Saint and obtain his protection.
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and sighed in his heart…
Those who are good at using tools could not help but become tools.
This is probably… the same meaning as “the young man who slays dragons will eventually become an evil dragon”.
He scanned the valley with his immortal senses and realized that the Great Daoist Master was indeed not around. Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed in the forest below.
He sneaked underground and returned to the Immortal Du Sect.
In Li Changshou’s opinion, there were only two real meanings for him to cozy up to the powerful Great Daoist Master…
Firstly, his previous lies had come true.
He had more confidence in the matters of the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean.
Secondly, he had directly reduced most of the pressure on “Daoist Wen”.
As long as the Great Daoist Master appeared in the South Ocean and said “don’t hurt mortals”, he would be able to achieve the effect of shocking many with one stone.
The dragon race would probably think that the Great Daoist Master had appeared to support the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean, thus confirming that the Sea G.o.d Sect was the incense-merit machine of Ren School.
The dragon race would naturally place more importance on the Sea G.o.d Sect. Their pride, their current predicament, and the fear in their hearts would make them clutch at their last straw, the Sea G.o.d Sect, tightly.
As for the Western Sect, Daoist Wen should be a little wary.
However, the Great Daoist Master only said “don’t harm mortals” and did not say anything else. What he meant was actually… “You can go to the sea to fight.”
Those words do fit the image of the Senior Brother of Ren School.
When the Western Sect converges their merit in the western part of the South Continent, they should also pay attention.
If Li Changshou was right, the Western Sect would continue to plot against the dragon race and integrate them into the Western Sect’s factions.
He had to plan carefully and make full use of the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean. When the dragon race felt that they could no longer bear the burden, he would pull the dragon race into the Heavenly Courts and make them provide support for the Jade Emperor…
Fighting for the dragon race with the Western Sect would be no different from s.n.a.t.c.hing food from a tiger’s mouth.
Before today, there was only a vague existence of the Jade Emperor behind Li Changshou. Naturally, he did not dare to do
So.
However, Li Changshou now had a Saint who had helped him to deceive the heavens. Moreover, he was the strongest person among the six Saints… Next, as long as Li Changshou was careful enough and did not expose his true body or implicate his karma, he could give it a try!
That was the first mission given by the Sage.
It concerned his future and fate. He had to be cautious and give it his all.
After Li Changshou returned to the mountain, he had originally wanted to invite his master and junior sister to a meal of frog and fish hotpot to celebrate and study the two jade tokens that he had just obtained…
Now, he felt that…
He first listed out the possible reactions that the Western Sect and the dragon race might have. Then, according to those possibilities, he would make plans for the future. It was the most important thing to plan, lest he got fl.u.s.tered!
He traveled underground until he was three hundred kilometers away from the Immortal Du Sect.
Li Changshou changed his direction and rode the cloud at the speed that a disciple of the Dao Requital realm should have. He slowly returned.
For example, when the Great Daoist Master heard that he was the Sect Master of the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean, he was slightly surprised…
As long as Ao Yi did not expose himself, who would have thought that the Sect Leader of the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean would be a young disciple of the Immortal Du Sect who had yet to become an immortal?
To Li Changshou, that disguise was one of his trump cards.
It was more important.
In Daoist Wen Jing’s Cave Abode near the spirit mountain in AparaG.o.dānīya Continent, a buzzing mosquito sounded as Daoist Wen Jing appeared out of thin air and stood in front of the two maidservants who were cultivating.
The two maidservants trembled. Before they could open their eyes, Daoist Wen Jing swiped her hand and the two maidservants immediately turned into ashes…
“Did I let you cultivate?” Daoist Wen Jing said coldly. As her dress fluttered, the sound of water came from the Cave Abode.
When her dress fell, she was already seated in the treasure pool that was emitting a dense spiritual aura. She pinched a spiritual lotus with her slender fingers and slowly tore the petals of the lotus into pieces…
That was an effective method for her to stay calm.
After all, most people who had lived for that long had little fetishes that others did not understand.
“What a cunning dragon! My children have been buried by you people like this! You even scattered their ashes!” Daoist Wen Jing gritted her teeth and cursed. However, she slowly exhaled right after.
It was just that she was not doing well.
This time, the Second Sect Master had given her 30% of her clansmen. She had arranged for 10% of her clansmen to ambush that batch of dragons. She had thought that she would win.
She did not expect that the other party was way too cunning. She was not stable enough!
With so many clansmen dead, as the queen, she naturally felt heartache.
However, even though her heart ached, as long as the batch of old mosquitoes in the clan were still around, they would be able to be born again after tens of thousands of years…
