Chapter 250 The Traditional Art of Ren School
The Great Daoist Master and the disciples of the Saints of the two sects discussed the Dao for two days and one night before dispersing the barrier and parting ways. It could be seen that the “listening to the Dao” experience of the immortals of the Chan School and Jie School was quite good. The disciples of the Saints on both sides seemed to respect the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du even more.
As the saying went, there was no order in the Dao. The strong would be the king.
Ahem, there is no order of seniority in learning. The accomplished are the masters! The Great Daoist Master was born from the natural Dao of the Grand Pure One, which was extremely mysterious and indescribable.
Just the words “follow your heart and you will achieve ease and perfection” made a disciple of a Saint like Guang Chengzi fall into deep thought for a long time…
The Great Daoist Master did not return to the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace directly.
He only said that he would let Li Changshou settle the matter of the ceremony and appear again in the future. Afterward, he left to go to an unknown place.
Let’s not talk about the Three Sects for now…
The dragons were really excited this time.
The moment the dragon race’s negative karma on Ao Yi dissipated, the dragons that had sunk into the endless abyss seemed to have clutched onto a straw and saw a ray of light…
They sent many gifts that day. A few of the male dragons who were present queued up to go forward and leave a lasting impression on the Sea G.o.d.

How could there only be one commander under the Sea G.o.d?
There should at least be a few deputy commanders, generals, and team leaders, right?
With Ao Yi successfully forming close ties with the Sea G.o.d as an example, the dragon race was excited. They really wanted to cozy up to the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean!
To the dragon race, the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean, no, the words ‘South Ocean’ should be removed.
To the dragon race, the Sea G.o.d was no longer as simple as a partner.
For that, the dragon race immediately prepared a large number of treasures and quickly arranged them. The hundreds of Sea Clan beauties that were directly brought out from the South Ocean Dragon Palace were one of the gifts!
The way the dragon race gave gifts was also unique.
They knew that Li Changshou was an important figure of Ren School and an important official of the Heavenly Courts. For the sake of his reputation, he definitely could not accept hundreds of beauties.
Therefore, they gave Li Changshou a… mansion with a sea view!
The mansion was located on an Immortal Island in the South Ocean. It was surrounded by water and was made of crystals and gems.
There was a main hall and four side halls in the mansion. There was a curtained soft tent in the hall, a hot spring, a pearl lantern… All the luxurious items that Li Changshou could think of were inside the hall. It was extremely opulent!
As for the hundreds of Sea Clan beauties, they were just maidservants that could be replaced by a new batch once every thousand years! Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Indeed, the “poverty” of the Little Qiong Peak had limited his pursuit of pleasure. What’s the point of having such a huge and luxurious Cave Abode?
Junior Sister, Master and I can’t live there either. It’s not as carefree as the few straw huts by the lake.
If those expensive items were exchanged for precious materials that he could refine into a top-quality defensive array formation… Li Changshou might just accept it smilingly even if he was given only a brick bed.
Of course, it would be best if there was a function that allowed the size of the mansion to be adjusted at will. At the crucial moment, he could shrink it, put it away and run…
Li Changshou tactfully rejected that gift and accepted all the treasures.
The discount was just a joke.
He was now a legitimate G.o.d of the Heavenly Courts. He had to pay attention to his image.
However, the dragon race felt uneasy because the gift was not delivered. Ao Yi was also told to talk to Li Changshou and get him to accept more benefits…
In the end, Li Changshou could only promise that he would choose a place in the four seas later and build his Sea G.o.d Cave Abode. At that time, he would inform the Dragon Palace in advance.
The dragon race was finally relieved.
However, before things settled down, another wave arose.
‘Wave’ is a noun here.
On the night before the Sea G.o.d Ceremony was about to end, Li Changshou looked at the beautiful female fiendish spirits floating in the backyard of the Sea G.o.d Temple. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
It is reasonable for the dragon race to cause trouble. Why is the Netherworld causing trouble too?
Did someone spread rumors about the Sea G.o.d being l.u.s.tful?
A few experts from the Netherworld who were of the Magi race rubbed their hands and chuckled incessantly in front of him.
Those fiendish spirits were also carefully selected among the countless fiendish spirits in the Netherworld that could not be reincarnated.
All of them were extremely beautiful. Their long hair covered their faces, and their sleeves fluttered in the wind. They looked extremely flirtatious!
Of course, the main point was that their faces were beautiful, and their figures were voluptuous…
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Everyone, what are you doing?”
Ox-head, who had taken off his headgear, rubbed his hands together. “Lord Sea G.o.d, it’s our first time meeting each other. We don’t have any specialties that are suitable to be presented as gifts in the Netherworld. Please have a look, are these… alright?”
“Do you have any requests?” Li Changshou said seriously, “When I first started cultivating, my master kept mentioning that the Lady of Earth created the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If the Netherworld has any difficulties, please tell me. As long as it’s within my means, I will definitely help after some consideration.” One of the Magi could not help but mutter softly, “Well, don’t people usually go all out to help as long as it’s within their abilities?”
Just as the person finished speaking, a fist that was the size of a clay pot flew over and struck his abdomen.
The coa.r.s.e face of the person who spoke turned purple in an instant. Then, a huge hand covered his mouth from behind. He could not even scream and was dragged towards the spot behind the person.
The other Magi quickly smiled.
Li Changshou said calmly, “I have always been honest when I do things. If I can’t do it and make random promises, wouldn’t I be giving others hope for nothing? That would really be an unwise move. Instead of making empty promises, it’s better to listen and find out what the problem is before carefully considering if I can do it. Only then will I be responsible to everyone.”
The experts of the Magi were stunned when they heard that. Then, they came to a realization and looked at Li Changshou with admiration.
In the history of the Primordial World, the Magi had the lowest resistance against trickery.
Ox-head, who had lost his headgear, could not help but give Li Changshou a thumbs-up.
“The Sea G.o.d is indeed extraordinary. Actually, we don’t have any requests. We just want to express our grat.i.tude as well when we saw the dragon race gifting you with beauties.”
After saying that, Ox-head’s eyes turned red and his lips trembled. “Sea G.o.d, our Netherworld is… suffering.” “Oh?”
Li Changshou frowned and hurriedly asked, “The Netherworld is also an office created by the Heavenly Dao. Logically speaking, it should enjoy the merit of the Heavenly Dao. Did something happen?” “So you know about this.” Ox-head’s expression changed. He smiled awkwardly. “I was just casually complaining. Actually, I can still get by by being a servant in the Netherworld.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
“Lord Sea G.o.d, here’s what happened.”
Beside Ox-head, a middle-aged man who looked rather wise took the initiative to speak.
“We want to ask you, Lord Sea G.o.d to give us an idea. When we entered the Netherworld, we swore to the Heavenly Dao that we would not interfere with the Great Magi-Demon War. We vowed to treat the true spirit of the Magi-Demon Reincarnation fairly. For that, the line of succession that followed the Lady of Earth into the Netherworld quickly fell out with the other Magi.” Ox-head continued, “After that, the Great Magi-Demon War ended. The Magi and the demons were all losers. The demons had the protection of the Saint who left them a way out. However, we the Magi…
Ah, us going to the biting cold places of the North Continent and struggling hard seems to be much better than what the demons faced but actually, it’s about the same.”
Li Changshou nodded slowly.
Then, he heard Ox-head scold, “Moreover, I don’t know who was the one who gave the Magi of the North Continent a rotten idea! He even wanted to use the Magihumans to replace the human race and support Chi You!
en
In the end, Emperor Xuanyuan won against Chi You and the Magi almost lost all their foundations. The situation of the Magi in the North Continent is probably even more difficult!”
Li Changshou cleared his throat and said, “I’m also a human.”
“Uh, Sea G.o.d, aren’t you from the ocean? This is a little…”
