Chapter 326 Changgeng Reaches Three Promotions at the Immortal Peach Banquet, Accepting the Dragons Of The Four Seas!
Outside the Immortal Peach Banquet, melancholy was written all over the ox’s face.
He lay beside the stone that was wrapped by the immortal rope and swayed his tail in boredom.
He was really tied up.
Changshou, oh no, the Great Daoist Master had instructed me to call him Senior Brother Changgeng
Senior Brother Changgeng is too focused on stability. He’s so insistent on carrying out the Grand Supreme Elder’s orders entirely!
It’s not like I haven’t developed intelligence yet. To put it bluntly, there are less than ten people present who can defeat me in a fight!
Forget it. I have to act like a mount. I have to rest wherever I am shackled.
Moo…
The ox opened its mouth, and a vortex appeared in its throat. An immortal peach flew out from it, and it bit into it before chewing comfortably.
At the Immortal Peach Banquet, Li Changshou, who had finished tying up the cow, quickly returned. As soon as he stepped outside the venue of the immortal banquet, he could clearly sense that the atmosphere there was already… very serious.
The dragons, who were originally quite relaxed, sat upright and tensed up.
The Dragon Kings of the four seas had also changed their previous subservient expressions. They each revealed a gentle smile and looked like elders.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were no different from before. The former sat in the middle of the throne while the latter accompanied him with a dignified bearing.
Master Zhao stopped being in his relaxed sitting posture. From then on, his bold and unrestrained att.i.tude of believing that he could scam everyone, had become serious.
There was no need to mention the immortals and G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts. All of them were fully focused, just like Elder Moon, whose eyes were already squinted.
The six old Daoists from the Western Sect sat upright and still. Each of them had a smile on their faces, as if they had turned the situation around.
Why was that so?
It was because the Grand Supreme Elder was there!
Li Changshou had only taken four to five steps when he a.n.a.lyzed why the Grand Supreme Elder had come.
Firstly, he had to eliminate the possibility that the Grand Supreme Elder was there to watch the fun. It was a superficial and unskilled choice!
Combined with the glance that the Grand Supreme Elder had shot Li Changshou just now, the way he had allowed Li Changshou to support him, and the fact that Li Changshou had been asked to chain the oxen… There were various signs. The Grand Supreme Elder is here to support me!
At the same time, he wants to prevent the Saints of the Western Sect from attacking. He wants to express his stance to the dragon race and ensure that the dragon race would return to the Heavenly Courts today!
After confirming that, Li Changshou immediately thought about what he should do next. Only then could he submit an answer script that was closest to full marks.
Um..
At that moment, the Grand Supreme Elder was sitting at the banquet. The original situation had changed drastically. He had an unlimited advantage. Don’t: “Attack altogether.”
Don’t: “Bind all the soldiers together.”
Do: “Operate appropriately.”
Do: “Stay still in the same place!”
In such a situation, all the more he had to stick to the guidance of the ‘Steadiness Sutra’ and fully bring out the value of ‘Theory of Tricks’. He had to stick to the principle that the interests of Ren School were first and that the Heavenly Courts were second! Therefore, Li Changshou walked to his seat and slowed down. He bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, the six self-proclaimed disciples of the Western Saints have yet to prove themselves. To be safe, I’ll continue.”
The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and said, “With the Grand Supreme Elder here, there’s no need to worry even if some evil spirits who impersonate the disciples of the Saint have arrived.”
“Your Majesty, if these six are really disciples of the Saint, they are probably anxious to prove themselves.”
Li Changshou turned around and looked at the six old Daoists in rags with a warm gaze.
Perhaps Li Changshou had secretly calculated the angle, or perhaps it was purely a coincidence. When the six old Daoists from the West looked at Li Changshou, they happened to see the Grand Supreme Elder sitting in the corner of the platform.
The Sea G.o.d in front had white hair, white clothes, and a benevolent expression.
The old Daoist priest behind him remained silent and looked down.
An inexplicable pressure arose, causing the six old Daoists’ Dao hearts to become unstable.
The old Daoist priest who had spoken the most previously could not help but squeeze an ugly smile. He said calmly, “How can my senior brothers and junior brothers not dare to prove themselves? I’ll swear a Great Dao oath…”
“Hold on!”
Li Changshou interrupted and looked at Zhao Gongming. His gaze seemed to be saying, “If you don’t take it now, when should you?”
Master Zhao hesitated. He frowned and pondered. His eyes seemed to be saying, “Do I really have to take that thing out in front of the Grand Supreme Elder?”
Li Changshou’s gaze immediately became firm.
Zhao Gongming did not hesitate. He took out… a tattered painting from his sleeve and pushed it towards Li Changshou with his immortal power.
If you want to cause trouble, I’ll do it.
Li Changshou consulted the Jade Emperor. After obtaining the Jade Emperor’s permission, he walked towards the six old Daoists with the painting and placed it in front of them.
Once the painting was taken out, the six old Daoists of the Western Sect looked at each other.
They first saw anger on each other’s faces. Then, they were “shocked” and confirmed that the other party…
They had been scammed by Zhao Gongming! That scroll was evidence! There were too many pieces of evidence!
However, the six old Daoists felt as if they had lived together for many years and realized that they were childhood brothers who had been separated for many years…
It was very subtle.
“Everyone, please.”
Li Changshou bowed slightly and stood quietly with his horsetail whisk.
An old Daoist priest’s left hand trembled slightly as he opened the scroll on the short table.
He looked at the familiar words, the familiar format, and the many “fresh” words on it. He could not help but think of those unbearable memories…
At that moment, the old Daoist priest suddenly understood something.
He understood why there were so many experts and fellow disciples from the same sect and why their expressions were gloomy and angry during that period of time.
Why did a few of his fellow disciples directly announce that they would enter seclusion for 200 to 500 years and temporarily not ask about the matters in the sect?
The reasons were all there!
Li Changshou patiently guided from the side and said warmly, “Fellow Daoist, read this segment and give a conclusion. It’s just to prove your ident.i.ty. You can skip the middle
part.”
Many gazes and immortal senses could not help but look over. They were all curious about what “treasure” Zhao Gongming had taken out.
A moment later, the old Daoist priest of the Western Sect spoke in a low voice. It caused the Heavenly Dao power in the Heavenly Courts to surge. He began to recite an incantation using the ‘Sensing Oath’…
A Dao oath that was thousands of words long!
The six old Daoists took two hours to swear.
The power of the Heavenly Dao came and went, verifying their ident.i.ties.
The Great Dao oath template was repeated six times. It also made the immortals, dragons, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Princess Long Ji, who had rushed over, hear it six times.
They did not have much to say. They just felt that they had broadened their horizons and opened the door to a new world.
A somewhat uncultured general said, “Can the Great Dao oath be so particular?”
Those cultured officials would naturally be more knowledgeable. “You can do that?”
When the sixth old Daoist priest finished reading the oath, Li Changshou retracted the scroll and muttered, “Actually, it’s enough for one of the six of you to prove your ident.i.ty. After all, why would a disciple of a Saint collude with an impostor? Seeing how eager you are, I won’t say much.”
The disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, who had vomited blood just now, had a flushed face. However, he swallowed a mouthful of blood.
At that moment, dozens of important ministers of the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Generals around the Immortal Peach Banquet, the Four Sea Dragon Kings, and the dragon race were all speechless…
Most of the immortals and G.o.ds looked at Li Changshou with respect. They had labeled him as someone they could not offend. At this point, who could not tell?
The six old Daoists from the Western Sect were no match for the Sea G.o.d.
Ever since the Sea G.o.d had returned and suddenly turned hostile, the Sea G.o.d had easily controlled the rhythm of the entire journey. He had suppressed the six old Daoists until they could not turn the tables. With just a few words, he had completely embarra.s.sed the six old Daoists.
