Chapter 176 - It’s a Mistake (1/2)
Chapter 176 It’s a Mistake
The Great Daoist Master asked Elder Moon to send him the ‘Casting Beans To Form Soldiers’ and ‘Cloud-condensing Strongman’ mystical abilities. That made Li Changshou strongly feel that he was being nurtured.
Did I form… the battle sequence of the Ren School Army of the Primordial World?
This…
However, the modifications of any original mystical ability would require a lot of time, energy, inspiration, and brainstorming.
Li Changshou did not have the chance to activate those two mystical abilities. He was not sure if they would be of use in the future.
In any case, he could not let down the Great Daoist Master’s efforts. He could go back and think about it. At the very least, he had to master the original mystical abilities…
In the Sea G.o.d Temple, Li Changshou had already finished writing the second memorial with the paper effigy that was disguised as an old immortal.
Then, he found two Divine Envoys from Xiong Village and brought two Magihumans to a remote village.
Now that the Heavenly Courts’ decree had not been issued, Li Changshou could not set up the Jade Emperor shrine in the Sea G.o.d Temple. Therefore, he found a fis.h.i.+ng village to ‘test’. He asked the villagers to wors.h.i.+p the Sea G.o.d and also use incense offerings to wors.h.i.+p the “man behind the Sea G.o.d”—the Jade Emperor.
To this day, the Jade Emperor shrine had already accepted quite a lot of incense offerings. He felt that it should be able to make the Jade Emperor feel a faint sensation.
Li Changshou arrived at a secret chamber and set up a barrier. He offered three incense sticks to the Jade Emperor’s “tablet” and bowed deeply.
“Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you.”
There was a slight fluctuation of Dao runes on the tablet that was inlaid with gold and jade. Clearly, it was responding to Li Changshou. Within two hours, General Dongmu rushed over from the Heavenly Courts and met Li Changshou at the Sea G.o.d Temple.
Li Changshou paid special attention to General Dongmu’s energy, and spirit. He realized that he had returned to normal.
Although it was a novel and frustrating experience for the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Primordial World, General Dongmu did not lose anything previously. He had only been pranked and was fine after his anger had subsided.
Actually, at the end of the day, being scammed in the Primordial World, merely meant that one’s mystical abilities were inferior to others.
The two of them chatted for a while before Li Changshou handed the second memorial to General Dongmu. General Dongmu did not dare to delay any further. He immediately went back to report. However, Li Changshou shouted, “General Dongmu, wait.”
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
General Dongmu turned around and looked at the benevolent-looking, white-haired, and thin old man.
At that moment, General Dongmu could not tell whether it was the Sea G.o.d’s incarnation or his main body with his eyesight and cultivation level…
“What else do you have to say, Sea G.o.d?”
“Are you familiar with Elder Moon from the Elder Moon Hall?”
“Of course,” General Dongmu said with a smile. “Previously, it was all thanks to Elder Moon’s help that things went smoothly for me. Now, my wife and I get along very well.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “In a while, if His Majesty wishes to give the Elder Moon a decree, I hope that you can relay a message to Elder Moon. I originally wanted to write these four sentences in the form of a memorial, but I thought that since it is such a small matter, it would be too showy because it will be presented to His Majesty.”
“Oh?” General Dongmu said, “Please explain, Fellow Daoist.”
Li Changshou reminded, “If Elder Moon is going out on behalf of the Heavenly Courts, he will still have to remember not to judge seniority based on cultivation level or age.
His words and actions represent His Majesty’s authority. He must not make any promises and should act safely.”
When General Dongmu heard that, he pondered for a while and understood what it meant. He bowed to Li Changshou and sighed.
“The Sea G.o.d’s advice is not just for Elder Moon. I have learned something too.”
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything else. It was fine if he did not expose the subtle misunderstanding that could help him.
Although the contents of the memorial were simple, it was much harder to write than the previous one.
Li Changshou was worried that the Jade Emperor would think that he had gotten too many people involved. It was as if the Heavenly Courts was trying to curry favor with the dragon race and hence, he was secretly displeased.
Secondly, he was afraid that the Jade Emperor would overexert himself and show too much of a liking to the dragon race. That would make it difficult for the dragon race to respect the Heavenly Courts.
Apart from that, he could not tell the Jade Emperor what to do. He could only express his opinions and make decisions based on the Jade Emperor’s instructions…
As such, Li Changshou pondered over the terms and phrases repeatedly. After modifying them more than ten times, he felt that it was appropriate…
As for the effect, he could only wait and see. When General Dongmu came again, he could give him some user feedback.
Li Changshou had just sent General Dongmu off when he heard a low voice.
His immortal senses had naturally captured the scene of Youqin Xuanya walking beside him…
…
“Aunt-Master Xiong, has Senior Brother Changshou been cultivating?”
Youqin Xuanya asked softly within the immortal power boundary that Jiu Wu had set
up.
Xiong Lingli’s pet.i.te head, which looked like it was placed on a huge rock, bobbed slightly as she nodded. She suppressed her voice and whispered, “Cousin went out for a walk earlier on. He brought back some wild animals for me to eat. After that, he gained a lot of insight and had been cultivating.”
Youqin Xuanya looked at Li Changshou who was inside through the s.h.i.+mmering barrier. She sighed softly and turned to leave.
Xiong Lingli suddenly shouted softly, “Big Sister…”
Youqin Xuanya stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. She reminded her, “Aunt-Master, you should address me as your Disciple-Niece or call me by my name.”
“I’m just an in-name disciple.” Xiong Lingli blinked and asked softly, “Do you… like my cousin?”
Instantly, the ears in the surroundings perked up, and immortal senses and spiritual senses spread out.
The Ren School had an amazing technique that was good for gossiping
However, what made the people from the Immortal Du Sect and the other two immortal sects slightly surprised was that Youqin Xuanya’s expression remained the same. She maintained her ice-cold aura and did not panic at all.
Youqin Xuanya said, “Aunt-Master, if you’re talking about Dao-companions, I do not have such thoughts. I respect Senior Brother Changshou very much. I see Senior Brother Changshou as a role model because of his character, and I wish to tread on the Immortal Path with him.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Character?
Hiss…
Why would there be similarities in character?
Xiong Lingli blinked and was a little confused. She was about to nod weakly when she heard the Sea G.o.d’s voice in her heart… Therefore, Xiong Lingli whispered, “But… Little Missy, if you do that, people will misunderstand that you have feelings for my cousin.”
Youqin Xuanya said calmly, “I don’t mind what others think.”
Xiong Lingli cringed and whispered, “But my cousin might be slightly troubled by this matter…”
