Chapter 325 - I, the Sea God, Will Protect The Pride Of The Western Saints Today! (1/2)
Chapter 325 I, the Sea G.o.d, Will Protect The Pride Of The Western Saints Today!
Three thousand kilometers outside the Immortal Du Sect, in a deserted “resting mine”, a golden light suddenly shone and penetrated through the thick rock wall.
When the golden light dissipated, the figure that was hiding inside disappeared quietly.
After his previous experience, Li Changshou naturally could not stand obediently on the Little Qiong Peak and wait for the Heavenly Dao to throw merit over.
Once in a while, he could be covered by the Sect Leader of the Void Sect. Twice, thrice…
The immortals in the sect were not stupid!
Well, at least most of them were very smart. It was just that their imaginative abilities were slightly inferior.
However, the merit was indeed rich!
Putting aside the acc.u.mulation of merit from before, just the merit that he had just obtained would be able to allow Li Changshou to complete… a full forearm of the Golden Body of Merit that he had expected!
At that moment, his essence soul was immersed in the pure power of merit. It swam around happily. The Sea G.o.d Steel Trident, ahem, Sea G.o.d Divine Power Treasure beside him was also wrapped in the power of merit. It seemed to have become purer…
He was satisfied, gratified, and touched!
After twelve years of painstaking drawing…
I’ve made a killing this time!
However, Li Changshou knew that there were very few opportunities to obtain merit.
Firstly, the South Continent was relatively special. As the protagonist of the world, 80 to 90% of the human race’s destiny was gathered in the mortal world of the South Continent.
Secondly, by making the investigating of water paths be part of the Heavenly Courts’ jurisdiction, he could be considered to have slightly supplemented the Heavenly Courts’ authority. He had also indirectly filled in the details of the Heavenly Dao.
After combining the two, Li Changshou gained a lot of merit.
If he wanted to obtain similar merit, he could follow the same train of thought and investigate the mountains of the South Continent.
However, the hydrology was beneficial to the people. It was extremely important to mortals. The people lived by the water.
The mountain was just lacking some meaning. The merit that he could obtain should be very little.
However, no matter what, it was still better than nothing. Li Changshou decided to send a paper effigy to slowly deal with the dragon race.
Today, there was a second great merit!
Li Changshou circled around the Immortal Du Sect and hid in a river. He waited quietly and used his immortal senses to scan the area within a five-thousand-kilometer radius.
In the sect, Ling’e was still “sleeping”. Li Changshou changed the note beside her hand and asked her to eat peaches and continue to consolidate her cultivation level. At night, they would have a friendly exchange as fellow disciples.
While Li Changshou’s main body moved, the paper effigy did not stay idle.
To ensure that nothing unexpected happened today, he stopped all other types of paper effigies except the Sea G.o.d paper effigy who was causing trouble in the Heavenly Courts.
He was going all out to deal with the matters of the Immortal Peach Banquet!
A while ago, at the Immortal Peach Banquet, Li Changshou gained credit for his contributions and returned the Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword.
Golden light flashed in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. When a huge amount of merit was sent towards Li Changshou’s main body, a golden light shone on Long Ji, who was beside Li Changshou, causing her to be covered in a layer of golden powder.
The Jade Emperor smiled and looked at his daughter. Long Ji immediately lowered her head and did not dare to look at her father.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Along the way, Her Highness Long Ji has contributed. She has helped me investigate the water paths and also helped me kill demons with the Demon-Slaying Sword. Her Majesty should be rewarded.”
“Hahahaha!”
The Jade Emperor immediately laughed out loud. He looked at Long Ji’s uneasy face and said warmly, “Go change into a fresh set of clothes and take a seat beside your mother. There are guests from the Heavenly Courts today. Don’t be rude.”
Long Ji’s thin body trembled slightly. She looked up at the Jade Emperor and hurriedly lowered her head. She said softly, “I accept your orders.”
Li Changshou smiled when he saw that.
Twelve years ago, he had discovered something. Although the Jade Emperor doted on Long Ji, he had never announced her existence to the public. There were very few people in the Heavenly Courts who knew about the Heavenly Emperor’s daughter.
That was also a small thorn in Long Ji’s heart.
Li Changshou had only taken advantage of the situation to help Long Ji. To him, it was a small matter. It could also make the Jade Emperor feel proud. At the same time, it could pave the way for him to plot against the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation…
It was another matter of killing a few birds with one stone.
“Sea G.o.d,” Long Ji called softly, her voice a little excited. “I’ll come back later.”
Li Changshou looked at her and cupped his hands with a smile. Then, he turned around and walked forward.
The Jade Emperor raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. He pulled him into the Immortal Banquet venue and placed him in front of the empty chair. “It’s been hard on you, Minister Changgeng. Quickly take a seat. Today’s Immortal Peach Banquet will be a celebration for you!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
The Jade Emperor turned around and returned to his throne. Li Changshou bowed to Zhao Gongming and smiled. “Greetings, Senior Gongming. Senior Gongming actually arrived a step earlier than me.”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard with a smile. He knew that everyone in the Heavenly Courts was putting on a show for the Western Sect and the dragon race.
“Hahaha, Brother Sea G.o.d, don’t stand on ceremony. We are of the same generation. You and my sister have a close relations.h.i.+p. Why are you being so polite?”
Then, Li Changshou turned to look at the old Daoist priest standing beside him and the other five old Daoists sitting beside him. He could not help but frown and look puzzled.
“Why are there unfamiliar faces here? Lord General Dongmu, who did His Majesty invite this time?”
General Dongmu said, “His Majesty is here to entertain the heroes of the dragon race and Senior Gongming. He did not invite any other guests.”
“Oh?”
Li Changshou frowned and looked at the six old Daoists. Before they sat down, they had already begun to attack.
“In other words, these six came uninvited?”
The old Daoist priest snorted and said calmly, “Sea G.o.d, are you not welcoming the Western Sect?”
“Oh, the Western Sect… Of course the Western Sect is not welcome.”
The six old Daoists could not help but frown. They were caught off guard by Li Changshou’s act of falling out with them.
According to the customs of the Primordial World’s “old schemes”, wouldn’t he first smile and welcome him with a smile and hidden malicious intentions? They were good at saying things with hidden meanings. In the end, they would have a game of chess. If they really could not go on, they would fall out with each other at the very end.
“Sea G.o.d, what do you mean?”
Li Changshou stood up straight and looked at the old Daoist priest’s face.
“The last time I followed His Majesty to roam the West Ocean and observe the situation in the West Ocean, I was ambushed by the Six-Winged Golden Cicada that you raised in the West Ocean. It wanted to kill me. Today, you actually swaggered to the Heavenly Courts for a banquet. Hehe, the Western Sect has really taken all the good things in the world!”
Another old Daoist priest dressed in tattered clothes stood up. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Li Changshou and said coldly, “Fellow Daoist, don’t slander me. What does the Six-Winged Golden Cicada have to do with the Western Sect?”
Li Changshou sneered. “That trick again! Such a lie came out of your mouth so easily. You are shameless and scheming! The Western Sect is really full of tricks.”
The old Daoist priest was about to cross the short table and attack Li Changshou. Behind Li Changshou, Master Zhao calmly took half a step forward and said leisurely, “Why is the ground of the Jade Pool a little slippery?”
The six old Daoists glared at him, but they stood there obediently and restrained their auras.
In today’s situation, he could only fight. He was afraid that… he could not fight. The old Daoist priest who was the first to stand up said calmly, “The Six-Winged Golden Cicada is a Primordial Beast. What does it have to do with the Western Sect? According to the rumors in the Primordial World, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada is good at the Cosmic Technique. If it eats its flesh, it can give those who have yet to achieve longevity, live long. If we catch such a strange beast, how can we let it live?”
The old Daoist priest even sneered at Li Changshou after saying that.
He was clearly mocking him. The excuse he had used just now was actually a rumor that Li Changshou had made the dragon race spread. I’ll use your s.h.i.+eld to block your spear. However… Li Changshou’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Do you dare to say that again?” The old Daoist priest replied, “The Six-Winged Golden Cicada is a Primordial Beast. What does it have to do with the Western Sect?”
“What a good excuse. It has nothing to do with the Western Sect!?!”
Li Changshou took two steps back and hid behind Zhao Gongming. Then, he shouted, “Your Majesty! Please give the order to take down these six imposters!”
Seated on the throne, the Jade Emperor frowned.
All the generals of the Heavenly Courts and the dragons of the dragon race stood up at that moment.
