Chapter 322 - The Immortal Peach Banquet Is Coming, Changshou Is Planning to Become a God! (1/2)
The night was dark and the wind was strong. Li Changshou quietly returned to the Little Qiong Peak and walked around. He realized that everything was normal and returned to the Pill Chamber in peace. Although the power of the Taiji Painting that was protecting him had increased, Li Changshou’s main body had been hiding for the entire night. He had left enough clues behind before using his escape technique to return to the sect…
The first thing he did after returning to the mountain was to take a look at Ling’e.
He did not do anything, but he felt a little guilty…
He felt bad even though he was facing a candidate who actually did not like him as much as she claimed.
After returning to the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou raised his brush and drew a portrait. It was the moment Fairy Yun Xiao looked back while standing under the peach blossom tree.
He hung the portrait beside the desk and…
There were two lines of ‘steady’ on the side.
After thinking for a while, Li Changshou picked up his brush and drew a portrait of Lingle when she was barefoot and catching fish by the lake.
The young girl in the painting had her sleeves rolled up. She bent down and stared at the spiritual fish swimming under the lake. Her expression was especially serious. There were some water stains on her face, and her long hair hung by her side…
When she was 17 years old, Li Changshou had sealed her Dharma powers to train her reflexes and instructed her to catch the spiritual fish in the lake 100 times with her bare hands.
That was the first time Li Changshou realized that his little junior sister, whom he saw every day, was already grown up, beautiful and elegant.
However… Li Changshou looked at the two portraits and pursed his lips.
If that was all, it would not be enough to affect his judgment of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.
He hung Ling’e’s portrait beside Yun Xiao and thought about how he should deal with the aftermath. He immediately felt troubled.
It was all because Fairy Yun Xiao was too powerful and intelligent. It was difficult for him to plot against her like he did with Ling’e.
Ling’e was too well protected by him. Moreover, she was lively and naive. Even though he kept teaching her how to be evil, she would still be unwary at times. Fairy Yun Xiao was simply too strong. Others did not dare to plot against her, so she was more innocent…
Looking at Yun Xiao’s gentle and smiling face in the portrait, Li Changshou realized that she was mostly indifferent.
In comparison, it was easier to deceive Ling’e.
Li Changshou took out the jade hairpin and thought about it. He decided to give it to Ling’e after she came out of seclusion. He would also give her some pressure. “Karma… Tribulation… There are too many things to do.”
There must be a deeper meaning behind the Saint’s actions. It was definitely not something that could be arranged on a whim.
Li Changshou sat on the round chair and stirred up a storm in his heart. He carefully tasted and a.n.a.lyzed.
The matter today had not reached the “worst” situation yet. When he could not change the framework, the situation would have been considered stable.
In fact, a portion of his attention had been on the s.h.i.+p of the South Continent. He led Long Ji and the three experts of the dragon race to organize two small tributaries in detail.
It was very likely that the Jie School had discovered the importance of the Heavenly Courts and wanted to influence the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation by affecting him.
“Let’s a.s.sume that the Saint has already deduced the rough outline of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.”
In that case, he would draw out two more branches. He could a.s.sume that the six saints have the ability to deduce like his saint or that the other saints were not as competent as the Grand Pure One…
Out of habit, Li Changshou took out a piece of paper and drew on it carefully. Unknowingly, he had been lying on the table for several days. He felt dizzy from writing.
Hence, a few months later…
Ding
Melodious bell chimes echoed throughout the Immortal Du Sect. Figures emerged from various peaks and gathered at the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Li Changshou was also called out by his master. He followed behind his master and rushed to the Immortal Du Hall.
Most of the disciples would be returning today.
Li Changshou lowered his head and pondered. I can’t rule out the fact that the Grandmaster of Heaven knows about the bad luck of Jie School…
There is an 80% chance that the Grand Pure One does not want to see the Dao Sect weakening rapidly. He should be thinking of ways to change the script of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. I have become a small nail in the coffin…
If I can make the Saints feel that I have to plan slowly, why is there a need for the script for the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, or the need for the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation?
“Changshou…”
Qi Yuan shouted in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou hurriedly calmed himself down. The paper effigy who was painting the hydrology diagram in the South Continent also trembled and dirtied a pen and ink.
“I’m here.”
“Is there anything troublesome?” Qi Yuan frowned and asked, “You look a little haggard. Did you encounter any problems during your cultivation recently?”
Then, Qi Yuan sent a voice transmission. “If you encounter any trouble in your cultivation, you should go and ask the Sect Leader or Grandmaster!”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Master, don’t worry. I’ve been putting in too much effort recently. My cultivation is going smoothly, but it’s much slower than before I became an immortal.”
Everything was true, but there was no effective information.
Qi Yuan nodded in relief and smiled. “It’s not appropriate to worry about everything. Make more friends and get to know more powerful people. After discussing with them, your thoughts will be clear. Don’t be complacent but don’t be too worried either.”
“Yes, I will remember that.” Li Changshou felt warm in his heart and felt helpless.
Who else could he discuss with other than the Saint?
If he were to say anything about becoming a G.o.d, or even mention anything about the great calamity, he would probably attract the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, which was not a warning!
Before the G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, karma was linked.
How could the Heavenly Courts resolve the situation?
Li Changshou pondered for a while and followed behind his master.
The matter regarding Fairy Yun Xiao had proven that she did not avoid the great calamity just because she wanted to. If she felt good about entering the Heavenly Courts in advance, she would probably really fall.
If dodging could not solve the problem, Li Changshou could only cooperate with his Saint on the basis of ensuring his safety.
Fortunately, he was still standing on the sh.o.r.e. There were still a few ways to break out of the situation.
It would be best if he could condense the Golden Body of Merit before the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. That would definitely become a trump card of his…
Li Changshou could not help but yawn. Qi Yuan asked him to go back and rest. Li Changshou refused with a smile and accompanied his master to attend the “graduation ceremony” of the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect.
More than seven hundred disciples stood in the open s.p.a.ce in front of the Immortal Du Hall. They were dressed in all kinds of Daoist robes. Nearly half of them were in pairs. All of them had packed their luggage and looked forward to it with reluctance and longing…
They were about to embark on their journey to various places. Most of them would return to the trichiliocosm, while a small half would join a cultivation faction in the five continents. They would either return home to inherit a portion of their a.s.sets or become individual cultivators.
Among them, only those who had already become immortals had the first part of the Inaction Sutra of the Immortal Du Sect. They had to swear an oath not to teach it to outsiders.
Apart from the Inaction Sutra, most sutras and spells could be circulated outside. The second volume of the Inaction Sutra only taught Perfected Immortals or the batch of immortal seedlings who were ranked at the top. Most of the disciples who were ranked at the top and had better potential would continue to cultivate on the various peaks.
After the Sect Leader, the Deputy Sect Leader, and the Grand Elder each gave a speech that was neither touching nor encouraging, the disciples left the sect one after another. They rode a cloud and rode a crane to various places.
They were like the scattered stars in the sky.
The escorts gathered at the mountain gate. Many “masters” were filled with emotions. The slightly emotional female immortals’ eyes turned red with tears.
According to the rules of the Immortal Du Sect, the Perfected Immortals who took in disciples in the previous 200-year cycle could choose whether to take in disciples in the next cycle. It could also be considered a cultivation mission arranged by the sect.
It was also on that day that the Immortal Du Sect announced the date of the opening ceremony. The disciples who had graduated brought the news to all corners of the world.
Later, the sect would also arrange for the executives to go to some outstanding “sources of life” to promote and look for the next batch of good seedlings.
