Chapter 155 - Ling’e Asks For A Favor Before Leaving Ding (1/2)
At dawn, the bell in the sect rang again.
There were forty-eight disciples from the various peaks that had been gathered previously. They rode thirty-two clouds and flew towards the Hundred Mortal Hall from all directions.
There were about sixteen Dao couples.
As one of the two leaders of the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou did not find anything unusual about that.
He was already used to it as it was a normal practice of the sect.
In the past two years, every time he went to the Hundred Mortal Hall to gather, he would hear his Senior Sister Yan’er call him “Junior Brother Qi Qi” too many times. In his heart… there were no longer any ripples.
This time, he could finally go and take a look. A large sect like the Carefree Immortal Sect had been turned into a mess by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and Elder Moon!
To be more optimistic, among the numerous factions of the Three Sects, Ren School should be the one with the most good-looking disciples!
This was probably what it meant for the males and females to be visually appealing.
In fact, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect was worried about the prosperity of Ren School. No matter what happened below, Li Changshou would not make a fuss.
The last time he spoke to the Great Daoist Master Li Changshou had euphemistically reminded him that if he wanted to let Ren School prosper by increasing marriages and reproduction, it would be a painstaking matter that would produce only half the results.
He did not know if the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had accepted that little suggestion.
From then on, Li Changshou had given the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du a gilded and masculine t.i.tle—the oldest bachelor of the human race!
It was said that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was the first human to be created by G.o.ddess Nuwa.
According to Ren School’s records, at that time, the Grand Pure One had already obtained a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi and had to attain the Dao of the Three Corpses. However, he was still a step away from becoming a Saint. Occasionally, he would see G.o.ddess Nuwa creating humans. After some calculations, he knew that the fate of the human race was extraordinary and that they had a deep affinity with him.
Therefore, he established Ren School to protect the human race. He received merit from the Heavenly Dao and became a Saint.
After becoming a Saint, he casually selected the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du of today in order to express his authority and brought him back to Kunlun Mountain where he imparted the Dao to him.
Therefore, the Great Daoist Master’s honorary t.i.tle of “Oldest First Brother”…was reasonable, well-deserved, and justified!
Of course, that was just a joke.
Li Changshou had known a long time ago that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was an expert who was well-known for being the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect.
So far, the Great Daoist Master had revealed his abilities a couple of times in front of others, and each time, he had made a name for the Grand Pure One.
Li Changshou had seen detailed records of Ren School…
During the second Great Magi-Demon War of ancient times, in front of the Five Village Temple of Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, who was the Earth Immortal’s Ancestor, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had the Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite PaG.o.da above his head. He faced the East Demon Emperor Tai Yi, who wanted to kill the humans and refine the Magi-Slaughtering Sword.
A b.l.o.o.d.y battle stopped the Demon Emperor.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du protected a small portion of the human race’s heritage and revealed the abilities of the Saint. That made the demons that were at their peak, too afraid to act recklessly against humans.
At that time, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was only a disciple for less than 129,600 years. Yet, the strength he had displayed was already superior to that of the East Emperor.
The second time the Great Daoist Master attacked, it was the third Great Magi-Demon War in ancient times, during which the human race counterattacked…
At that moment, the expert Magihumans had fought with all their might, and all the experts in the Demon Court had died. However, the Demon Court did not fall. The experts of the human race, who had yet to fully develop, took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack on the demons.
In that battle, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had appeared.
He stepped on the supreme treasure, the Taiji Painting, and the Mystic Yellow Exquisite PaG.o.da above him. He held a Cosmic Scepter and barged into the Demon Court alone. He heavily injured the East Emperor Tai Yi and forced the Connate Cardinal treasure, the East Emperor Bell into the Chaotic Sea. He did not allow the East Emperor Tai Yi to pa.s.s the treasure to the mighty figures of the demon race!
In that battle, the humans gambled on their race’s luck.
They could either overthrow the Demon Court and become the protagonists of the world, gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao; or be forced to the point of extermination once
again!
What happened after that had become a legend. That man never had the chance to do anything again…
Gradually, there were not many people in the Primordial World who would mention his name.
That human protected the human race from generation to generation. He was the nameless Eldest Senior Brother of Ren School…
Now, he was only an ordinary-looking young Daoist. He liked to squint and smile. He had spent the most effort on this ‘The Ren School’s Great Reproduction Plan for Ten Thousand Years’!
While he was having those thoughts, he had arrived right in front of the Hundred Mortal Hall.
Li Changshou naturally did not dare to tell anyone about the honorary t.i.tle that he had given to the Eldest Senior Brother…
There was still half a year before the Immortal Du Sect would set off for the Middle Continent.
The frequency at which the forty-eight disciples were summoned to the Hundred Mortal Hall changed from once a year to once every three months.
According to the traditions of the Middle Continent and the East Continent, there would definitely be a technical fight between disciples during such meetings.
At that time, the shorter the lifespan of the disciples who appeared, the higher their cultivation level, and the greater their abilities, the more honored the Dao factions behind them would be.
Youqin Xuanya was a disciple who had reached the eighth stage of the Dao Requital realm at a young age, were good at technical fights, mystical abilities, and excellent-looking. She was a young disciple who was about to become an immortal and transcend the tribulation. She would be able to bring glory to the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou, on the other hand, was disguised as a disciple who was almost 200 years old and was barely at the third-stage of the Dao Requital realm. His looks were not bad. Apart from array formations and escape techniques, his abilities in other aspects could only be considered ordinary. He was only a young disciple who used the Earth Escape Technique…
He would definitely not be arranged to go to the arena!
Therefore, Li Changshou took advantage of the situation and placed himself in the position of a disciple in charge of running errands.
Li Changshou did not express any opinions whenever the disciples were gathered for a discussion. He insisted on having three consecutive qualities.
“Junior Sister Yougin is right.”
“What Junior Sister Youqin said made sense.” “I’ll remember all the elders’ lectures.”
Li Changshou would become more stable and ordinary. He would gain enlightenment!
After “completely recovering from his injuries”, Li Changshou had already dealt with that situation many times in a row. He lied to the higher-ups and hid it from them… Ahem, he was getting more and more proficient in taking care of things. He had acc.u.mulated a lot of experience for his future work in the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou knew his limits in that aspect.
He maintained a certain distance from the immortal seedlings and outstanding disciples of the various peaks. They were quite familiar with each other, so everyone could just nod their heads and forget about it.
Now, Li Changshou’s disguise in the sect had naturally reached the third stage.
The first stage was to be “transparent” and to keep a low profile. However, other than the monthly allowance, he could only go to the Dao Repository Hall to search for trash and could not obtain many resources.
The second stage was naturally to disguise and maintain an image of a low-quality immortal seedling to make himself less conspicuous. However, many phenomena could be more reasonable.
The third stage was to follow the good examples and become a humble and steady, “Deputy” leader who did not cause trouble…
Today, the forty-eight disciples gathered in the corner of the hall again. They were lined up in an orderly manner.
