Chapter 198 - I, Ao Yi, Definitely Can’t… (1/2)
“Lin’er, if I can cultivate the Dao Fruit of Longevity one day, we must be together on the path of immortality.” That year, two figures were chasing each other and laughing at the back mountain of Little Qiong Peak that was filled with camellias…
“Come and chase me, hahaha. If you catch me, I’ll let you…”
“Hahaha.”
The scene changed.
“Lin’er, I’ve been busy cultivating in seclusion recently. The sect has so many expectations of me. I can’t disappoint them. I just neglected you, Lin’er.”
“Go ahead and cultivate. You don’t have to see me again in the future.”
That year, Jiang Lin’er left the seclusion cave of Heaven-Breaking Peak while being overwhelmed with anger.
Lin’er, don’t…
“Are you Unfettered Lin Jiang, Fellow Daoist Jiang Lin’er?”
A voice transmission entered Jiang Lin’er’s ears, causing her to s.h.i.+ver.
She was currently hiding in a rocky peak at the bottom of the ocean. She hid her aura and her figure, and spread her immortal senses over a few hundred kilometers.
However, Jiang Lin’er could not find any trace of him even after hearing the voice transmission.
A hidden expert!
A flat fish swam over and turned into a kind-looking old immortal in front of Jiang Lin’er. He took the initiative to reveal his realm aura.
He was in the early-stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.
Jiang Lin’er silently raised her hand and grabbed the hilt of the giant sword on her back. Although they were at the bottom of the sea and there was strong water pressure, both of them had the protection of the Heavenly Immortal realm immortal power. It was no different from being on flat ground. “Fellow Daoist, who are you?”
Who was he?
He was naturally Li Changshou’s… paper effigy.
Li Changshou had received a message from Jiang Lin’er. He heard that “Ao Yi” was seen with a group of powerful deep-sea demons in the town at the ends of the earth. They were drinking and chatting. He immediately determined that he was not his Second Sect Master.
Using Ao Yi’s appearance to create trouble outside should be a little trick of the Western Sect…
To be precise, it should be one of the few plans that the Western Sect carried out simultaneously.
Li Changshou then invited Jiang Lin’er to wait there. He would ask Jiang Lin’er to lead the way later.
Following that, Li Changshou activated the paper effigy hiding outside the Immortal Du Sect’s entrance. He integrated an entire army’s combat power, allowing one of the paper effigy to activate the Five-Element escape technique and rush over at high speed.
At the same time, Li Changshou also used his spiritual will to inform Ao Yi. He asked Ao Yi to invite the Dragon King to find a few experts whom he absolutely trusted. The higher their cultivation level and the gentler their temper, the better. Then, he would meet him here.
To Li Changshou’s surprise, Ao Yi and the others were a little late when he arrived first.
Li Changshou immediately smiled and said, “I received Changshou’s message and came to meet you.” Jiang Lin’er pursed her lips and muttered, “I knew that my little grand-disciple is not simple. Fellow Daoist, how are you going to prove your ident.i.ty? The Primordial World is extremely dangerous and I have to keep my guard up. Please forgive me.”
“That’s reasonable.” Li Changshou said gently, “I’ve heard my young friend Changshou mention that his Aunt-Master, Wan Jiangyu, is still a tree spirit and still has a few years of lifespan. At this moment, his master still does not know that his Aunt-Master had already suffered a calamity and reincarnated.”
Jiang Lin’er let go of the handle of the sword and smiled. “He really went around telling everyone about this. How did you recognize me, Fellow Daoist?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “My young friend Changshou has given me a detailed description.”
“Oh? What description?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “He said that you’re as calm as a virgin and as fierce as a devil. You’re carrying a huge saber on your back and like to wear armor. You should be the one, Fellow Daoist.”
Jiang Lin’er snorted and said calmly, “Even if he knows how to speak, are you the expert he speaks of? To put it bluntly, with our strength, we can only die on the spot if we get discovered.”
Just as she finished speaking, a few faint pressures appeared in the seawater. Li Changshou lowered his head and looked at the Sensing Stone beside him. Several immortal senses were locked onto the place.
After a while, there was no movement in the seawater. However, four dragon-headed elders strangely appeared in front of the four of them.
A dragon elder raised his sleeve, and a little azure dragon emerged from his sleeve and transformed into Ao Yi.
“Sect Master!”
“Yes.” Li Changshou immediately nodded and agreed. He immediately sent a voice transmission to Ao Yi, telling him not to expose the relations.h.i.+p between the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean and the Immortal Du Sect disciple, Li Changshou.
Ao Yi nodded without a trace. He looked at Jiang Lin’er and smiled at her.
Li Changshou cupped his hands at Jiang Lin’er and said, “Fellow Daoist, please help me lead the way. You just need to guide us there and find that person.”
Jiang Lin’er looked at the four solemn-looking dragon-headed elders and frowned. She couldn’t help but mutter to Li Changshou’s incarnation, “What realm is this? Could they be the legendary Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals? I can’t see through it at all.”
Li Changshou smiled. The dragon race had finally taken out their wealth.
As he had already severed his Dao Realm twice and strengthened his Dao base, Li Changshou could now withstand the pressure from the other party and distinguish the difference between a Golden Immortal and a Zenith Heaven Immortal.
The pressure that the four Dragon race experts gave Li Changshou was very strong, but there were no Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
When one is in the Zenith Heaven, their Dao would have been perfected. One had to have no regrets in one’s Dao. One could not lack opportunities, luck, and perception. It was not something that could be cultivated with age.
In the ancient war, almost all the experts of the dragon race had fought to suppress the phoenix clan. After that, they lacked luck and fortune, and carried the endless negative karma that shattered the primordial chaos…
Therefore, no matter how rich the Dragon Clan’s heritage was, it was impossible for them to have many Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
The Dao runes of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal were clearly different from that of a Golden Immortal. Instead, it did not give people a strong sense of oppression… Examples would be the Golden Immortal Yun Zhongzi, who was carrying a flower basket, and some of the Saint’s disciples who had appeared at the Three Sects’ Meet.
As for the Great Daoist Master, his neighbor Uncle Zhao, the beautiful Fairy Yun Xiao, as well as the few eldest disciples from Jie School and Chan School, they were all of different prices… Pui!
Other levels of cultivation!
However, two of the four Dragon race experts were definitely Golden Immortal realm experts. The pressure they gave Li Changshou was extremely strong. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the four dragons looked rather similar. Their auras could fuse together. If the four dragons worked together, it would be a force that could not be underestimated.
Ao Yi introduced, “Uncles, this is the Sect Master of the South Ocean Sea G.o.d Sect. Sect Master, these four are my father’s guards. Since ancient times, they have been by my father’s side for countless years. They can definitely be trusted.”
The four dragon-headed elders bowed in unison. “Greetings, Fellow Daoist.”
Li Changshou hurriedly returned the bow and smiled. “I’ll have to trouble all of you to make a trip, Fellow Daoist.”
“The Sea G.o.d can address the four of us as brothers at will. We are simply named as A, B, C, and D. This time, we are here because of His Majesty’s will. We’ll listen to your orders, Fellow Daoist.”
Li Changshou immediately said that he did not dare to order them around. He introduced Jiang Lin’er’s ident.i.ty and asked Jiang Lin’er to explain in detail what she had seen previously.
Jiang Lin’er calmed herself down and said, “When I was pa.s.sing by the World Edge City at the boundaries of the world, I happened to see a group of deep-sea demons in human form. They were drinking and playing with Ao Yi. They did not hide it. The scene was very chaotic. There were at least a few Golden Immortal realm experts inside. Their demonic aura was surging.”
Li Changshou asked, “What was the fake Ao Yi doing?”
Jiang Lin’er coughed twice and looked at the sea. “Carrying two enchanting women… and acting inappropriately with them.”
“Rascal!”
Ao Yi flew into a rage. “I’m about to get married. This is going to ruin my reputation! How can I touch a woman other than Sisi!?!”
Li Changshou frowned slightly and said, “Brother Yi, don’t be angry. There’s something fishy about this. What do you think?”
Dragon Elder No. 1 said, “Someone wants to interfere with the wedding.”
“That’s right.” Li Changshou nodded slowly and said, “Brother Yi and the mermaid princess’ wedding is a good move for the dragon race to stabilize the four seas. However, to those who do not want to see the dragon race enjoying peace, it would be a resistance to their actions. The other party deliberately transformed into your appearance and did some horrible things. He also deliberately did not hide it and is still at the ends of the earth, where fish and dragons are mixed together. It is obvious that he wanted to taint your reputation and make the Sea Clan feel resentful towards you. The members of the Sea Clan are mostly pure-hearted. If someone tries to stir trouble and say that you have only taken a liking to the beauty of the mermaid princess and threatened and tempted her into marrying you, this wedding will only bring about a negative effect on the Four Seas.”
Ao Yi and the four dragon-headed elders were deep in thought. Although they thought that someone was going to interfere with Ao Yi’s wedding, they did not expect that there would be so many things to do after that…
What Li Changshou said was actually the thought process of the “War of Words”. In the Primordial World where the practice of using brick was rampant, there were not many of such methods.
