Chapter 249 Can I Have A Discount?
The fairy who had come here but was unwilling to appear was naturally Yun Xiao.
Only an expert like her could escape the detection of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, Zhao Gongming, and the others from dozens of kilometers away.
Clearly, the others did not know that Fairy Yun Xiao was hiding there.
Li Changshou had accidentally discovered the fairy’s whereabouts using the Heavenly Dao’s “Divine Artifact”. The latter immediately sensed it and stopped hiding. She flew towards the cloud platform openly.
She was just unwilling to appear. It was not that she could not appear.
In the air, Li Changshou turned his head to take a few glances at her. He felt that when he was looking at that fairy at that angle from afar, she looked even more…
“Congratulations, Sea G.o.d!” With a loud laugh, Elder Moon, who was dressed in a wedding robe, appeared in the clouds. He led a large number of officials and generals of the Heavenly Courts forward and kept cupping his hands at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou retracted his gaze and turned around. He cupped his hands and bowed to the immortals of the Heavenly Courts. They began to chat with each other.
As the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts, what is the greatest taboo for him?
It had to be having the immortals and G.o.ds under him form an alliance to take over his power.
Li Changshou was already prepared for that. Although he was exchanging pleasantries with the immortals, he still maintained a distance from them. He did not offend anyone, nor did he have a good relations.h.i.+p with the immortals other than Elder Moon.
After the immortals congratulated him, General Dongmu rode a cloud over and smiled. “Sea G.o.d, you should deal with the matters of the mortal world. You will need to get a report from the Hall of Enlightenment within three years.”
Li Changshou bowed and said, “It’s all thanks to you, General Dongmu, that I was able to obtain the position of the legitimate G.o.d today.”
“Sea G.o.d, you’re too polite.” General Dongmu smiled and said, “From now on, we will serve His Majesty in the same hall. If I behave improperly, please remind me, Sea G.o.d.”
“You’re too kind, General Dongmu.”
The pair of real and fake old immortals looked at each other and smiled. However, their chemistry did not decrease.
He had already done what he had to do. General Dongmu bade farewell to the immortals of the Heavenly Courts. Golden rays of light appeared in the sky and guided the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals back to the South-Heaven Gate.
From the beginning to the end, the immortals and G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts had been enveloped by the power of the Heavenly Dao and were protected by the Heavenly Dao. That was an “advantage” of the Heavenly Courts…
However, Li Changshou carefully observed the expressions of the immortals of the three sects and realized that they were not touched at all.
Cultivation is meant to be carefree. Why should the heavenly laws restrict you?
The immortals of the three sects were already under the protection of the Saints. Naturally, they were not interested in the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou could not help but think about the superficial cause of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. It was naturally because the disciples of the three sects were arrogant and did not respect the orders of the Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor went to the Purple Cloud Palace to complain and the Dao Ancestor recruited the Three Pure Ones to sign the G.o.d roll.
For example, ‘King Zhou of Shang wrote a poem to humiliate Nuwa, and Nuwa sent the three demons out of anger’. Those were all things that happened because of the calamity. Before that, the calamity had already begun…
The immortals of the three sects looked down on the Heavenly Courts, so they naturally had the confidence to do so.
On the other hand, the experts of the dragon race were all excited. Many old dragons had tears in their eyes as they looked at the… little azure dragon rolling in the black thunderstorm.
Li Changshou was rather loyal today. He did not go down to receive the distinguished guests. Instead, he stood quietly in the air and waited for Ao Yi to complete his transformation.
Countless mortals below were kneeling and kowtowing. Some even thought that the Sea G.o.d was about to leave them. The females, ranging from old women at the age of eighty to young women at the age of sixteen to seventeen were all crying and unwilling to part.
Fortunately, Li Changshou reminded the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village via voice transmission. The Divine Envoys took out the few stanzas of tongue-twisters that Li Changshou had made up previously and began to spread the little knowledge of the Heavenly Courts…
The Sea G.o.d had only been rewarded by the Heavenly Emperor. In the future, he would protect the Four Seas and take care of the fishermen who were fis.h.i.+ng.
He also announced that a portrait of the Heavenly Emperor would be hung in the Sea G.o.d Sect’s temples in the future. The Heavenly Emperor was the leader of the immortals. He controlled all the immortals…
The crying in the Sea G.o.d Ceremony quickly disappeared. The people cheered and praised the Heavenly Emperor. When Ao Yi rushed out of the black cloud, his ten-thousand-feet-long dragon body flew into the sky. He swooped down at Li Changshou from the sky and shrunk his body, turning into a hundred-feet-long dragon that landed at Li Changshou’s feet.
The azure dragon let out a deep cry. “Brother Sect Master!”
Li Changshou shook his head slightly to express his rejection. However, the azure dragon stubbornly stuck its head down and put Li Changshou on its head.
Then, the azure dragon carried Li Changshou and flew in the sky. It attracted thousands of dragons and danced in the South Ocean for a long time.
Unfortunately, Li Changshou was dressed in a long robe. He did not have a mighty armor or helmet, and he did not have a s.h.i.+ny metal fork in his hand.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to match it with a paragraph of “Snowflakes flutter – The north wind blows ~”
At that moment, Ao Yi’s cultivation level was equivalent to the mid-stage Heaven Immortal realm of the human Qi Refinement cultivators.
That made Li Changshou sigh. A race that relied on their bloodline to increase their strength was completely unreasonable.
The cultivation of the human race required one to comprehend the Great Dao, but the dragon race only needed to activate their bloodline…
There was endless envy.
After flying in the sky above the South Ocean for a while, Li Changshou jumped onto the cloud. Ao Yi’s dragon body shone with golden light. He transformed into a human and jumped to Li Changshou’s side. He grinned in embarra.s.sment…
Li Changshou frowned and said, “Why are you still the same when you’re in human form?”
Ao Yi looked down at his young figure and felt conflicted. He whispered, “Perhaps it’s because the nightmare from when I was young has yet to fade…”
“Uh.” Li Changshou raised his hand and patted Ao Yi’s shoulder. “Don’t pay too much attention to these. This figure is not bad. Well… at least you look young. Ao Yi was speechless. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. The sullen-faced old Daoists from back then were nowhere to be found. Ao Yi could not find them even if he wanted to.
The True Dragons and flood dragons that followed behind them flew towards the Sea G.o.d Ceremony first. They transformed into human forms and lined up to guard the South Ocean.
Li Changshou rode a cloud and flew towards the ceremony with Ao Yi.
“Brother Sect Master, now that we have the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Positions, what should we do next?”
“You don’t have to do anything else. Wait for your father and the others to come to a conclusion.” “Father and the others should have made a decision.”
Li Changshou said, “In about half a year, I will report to the Heavenly Courts. Do you want to go with me?”
Ao Yi nodded vigorously and said, “Brother, you can call me anytime!”
“The burden on your shoulders will become heavier and heavier in the future,” Li Changshou said. “If you have any worries or uncertainties, you can discuss them with me at any time. Don’t walk into a dead end and be too stubborn.”
“Yes.” Ao Yi smiled and agreed.
The young man’s smile was so clear that Li Changshou felt a little… embarra.s.sed.
The Sea G.o.d Ceremony continued.
However, the main course had already pa.s.sed. Next, it was time for a celebration within the Sea G.o.d Sect.
Li Changshou invited the immortals of the three sects to drink tea in the Sea G.o.d Temple. He then asked Ao Yi to entertain the guests of the dragon race and the Netherworld to continue watching the celebration.
The Great Daoist Master also put on the air of a “host”. He invited Guang Chengzi, the Mother of Turtle Spirit, Zhao Gongming, Chi Jingzi, and the personal disciples of the Saints and G.o.ddess Wudang, to discuss the Dao with the disciples present.
That was a great thing. It made the immortals of the Chan School and Jie School feel that their trip was worth it.
An expert like Guang Chengzi was also looking forward to it. After all, they only knew that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was unfathomable. However, they did not know how profound the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect was…
