Chapter 332 - 2 Arrangement For Cultivation To Ascending To The Heavens (1/2)
In the straw hut, Ling’e pouted and carefully wiped the water stains on her face with a handkerchief. Li Changshou smiled apologetically. Then, he frowned and folded his arms. His immortal senses were focused on the young man outside the mountain gate. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. What happened?
That shouldn’t be the case.
How is that possible? Is this young man, Li Jing, the general of Chen Tang Custom? Madam Yin’s husband? The father of San Zha? He will definitely be picked up empty-handed… Ahem, that’s not possible. Could it be that he would become a G.o.d in a few decades?
Something is obviously wrong! The South Continent does not have any Black Bird Shang. From a mortal point of view, there was no sign of the Shang Nation, which was the main target of the G.o.d Conferment! Li Changshou had examined it many times. At that moment, the mortal world of the South Continent was equivalent to the state where the heroes of the continent were divided after the end of summer.
Due to the vast territory of the South Continent, the development levels of various places were different. Some areas were even “knocked out” by the men and women of the tribe. Their development levels were different.
Moreover, the sequence of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation should be as follows.
The first step should be that the Jade Emperor feels that he has been offended by the disciples of the three sects. He will go and complain to the Dao Ancestor.
The second step would be the Dao Ancestor summoning the Three Pure Ones to sign the G.o.d roll and make the disciples of the three sects fill in the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Positions. The third step would occur a long time after the G.o.d roll is signed. G.o.ddess Nuwa would get offended by a poem written by the King of Shang, Di Xin. She would want to punish the King of Shang and cause a huge calamity. At this moment, the Saint will realize that the Great Tribulation should have happened in the mortal world of the South Continent. Chan School adopts the strategy of taking in disciples to fend off the calamity. Jie School would adopt the strategy of sealing the island and not leaving
Li Changshou had come up with that idea hundreds of times over the years. The chances of him making mistakes were extremely small. It would take more than a few hundred years to complete those steps!
Li Changshou stared at the young man kneeling in front of the mountain gate and could not help but fall into deep thought.
He had to be steady. He did not have much information now.
How can I obtain more information?
That’s simple…
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced. He carefully a.n.a.lyzed the memories of his previous life. After entering the Golden Immortal realm, he could “recall” many details that he had originally forgotten in his previous life. In fact, an old pure Yang like the Great Daoist Master, who had lived for countless years, could only use deductions to recall distant memories. Soon, Li Changshou retrieved a few pieces of information about Li Jing from his memories. Li Jing was the general of Chen Tang Custom, and an important general of the Shang Dynasty.
He was a loyal patriot who loved his country and was upright. Occasionally, he would be afraid and cowardly. He claimed that he had studied the Dao techniques for many years, but it was difficult for him to cultivate the Dao. Therefore, he chose to return to the mortal world and become a general. That contradicted his claim that he had been guarding Chen Tang Custom for generations. After the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, his physical body was on the G.o.d roll. He became the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Courts, Li Tianw.a.n.g. His eldest son and second son, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha respectively, followed his master, the Heavenly Lord, Wenshu Guangfa, and Daoist Ci Hang into the Western Sect. His third son, Nezha, and Li Tianw.a.n.g served the Jade Emperor.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued to think.
Li Jing was most famous for falling out with Nezha.
As for Nezha, Li Changshou was naturally extremely familiar with him. He was the best bear in the legends. In fact, from Li Jing’s perspective, Nezha should have been punished for killing the Dragon Prince and causing a disaster for Chen Tang Custom. He should have been punished for accidentally killing the child of the rock G.o.ddess.
At that thought, Li Changshou could not help but think…
As an ordinary human, Li Jing probably could not feel anything about the reincarnation of the Spiritual Bead that his wife had been pregnant with for three and a half years. Right?
If Li Changshou were to be the judge, Li Jing would be a typical supporter of patriarchy. He would not discipline his children, but he would not be willing to bear the responsibility of failing to educate his children well. The biggest culprit behind the tragedy of Nezha cutting off his flesh was actually the Perfected Tai Yi, who pampered his disciple excessively and gave him all the treasures. After Nezha cast the Lotus Flower Treasure, his pursuit of Li Jing seemed to be a rebellion against his father’s authority, but it was actually over the top.
Huh?
There seems to be something here… When Li Jing was being chased by Nezha, Nezha had poked Daoist Randeng with his spear and gotten Li Jing’s help.
Burning Lamp bestowed a Linglong Treasure PaG.o.da. Li Jing used that treasure to subdue Nezha and made Daoist Randeng his teacher. Before this, Li Jing had always claimed to be the disciple of Perfected Du’e of the Kunlun Mountain.
Considering the fact that the mortal generals who enjoyed boasting and would lie that there were 800,000 troops even though he really only had 200,000 troops, could it be… Li Jing, who claims that he is a “disciple of Perfected Du’e’ actually meant that he is becoming a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect? He cultivated in the Immortal Du Sect for a period of time and felt that there was no hope for longevity. Then, he returned to the mortal world to prepare to take advantage of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation to ascend to the heavens and enjoy longevity?
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up!
At that moment, he suddenly felt like he had seen through the mythical truth wrapped in the fog!
A more practical question followed… “Then, what can I use Li Jing to plot?”
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Li Jing, who was kneeling outside the mountain gate.
“Wait patiently for now. I will arrange for you to enter the sect to cultivate later. I hope that you will cultivate diligently and not forget your original intention today.” Outside the sect, Li Jing kowtowed to the sect.
Li Changshou did not look further. He sat there and pondered.
Ling’e, who was at the side, wiped her face clean aggrievedly. Seeing that her senior brother was shaking his head and nodding, she did not dare to disturb him. She could only quietly slip away and wash up. Soon, Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts.
It would be a waste not to use a p.a.w.n that was sent to him!
He was already on the opposite side of the Burning Lamp, so he naturally could not give it a chance to attack. However, he still had to think of a way to obtain the Golden PaG.o.da.
Li Jing was an important general in the Shang army. His three sons were also outstanding talents, especially Nezha. The potential of the Lotus Flower Treasure Body was limitless. Moreover, it was related to one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, Perfected Tai Yi.
Li Jing’s shortcoming was very obvious. He did not care enough about his son and did not know how to educate him. He used the excuse of being loyal to his country to cover up his shortcomings and regrets.
If he could let Li Jing cultivate in the Immortal Du Sect later, he could secretly interfere from the side and make the atmosphere of the Immortal Du Sect’s large family affect Li Jing, making him have a greater sense of responsibility towards his family.
At that moment, Li Changshou thought of how to teach Li Jing, how to quickly make Li Jing become a powerful Heaven Immortal, and how to give Li Jing extra care. Li Changshou had even thought of the brilliant plan that he had prepared for Li Jing when he left the mountain.
His name…
Prenatalism!
A huge fish suddenly appeared in the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou, who was originally less concerned about the sect, temporarily s.h.i.+fted his attention back.
Teaching Li Jing a good lesson would be more important to the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.
During the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, Li Changshou would obtain more opportunities to interfere with the Great Tribulation.
After the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, Li Changshou could use the karma from the Immortal Du Sect’s era to build a relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly Courts’ Generalissimo in the future. From then on, he could consolidate his position as a minister and it would be easier for him to earn merit.
The Heavenly Courts did not have any outstanding achievements that would shock the ruler and the ministers. With the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and the support of the Dao Ancestor, who could rebel against the Jade Emperor?
In fact, after Li Changshou discovered Li Jing, he was already considering…
After I condense the Merit Gold, I will nurture a set of “reliable helpers” for the Heavenly Courts. I will be the Jade Emperor’s right-hand man. I will enter a state of semi-retirement and enjoy immortal life.
Making arrangements is an art that has risen in the modern era.
It sounds much better than scheming.
However, Li Changshou quickly realized that it was quite difficult for Li Jing to enter the sect.
Li Jing was first targeted and ridiculed by the other young men who came to take him as a disciple. Then, Li Jing finished all his rations. He was so hungry that he almost fainted. Fortunately, Li Changshou discovered it in time and arranged for an immortal crane to fly over. He brought a bottle of pills to curb Li Jing’s hunger and helped him solve two problems at once.
The trouble that Li Changshou faced was to find a master for Li Jing.
It was impossible for him to accept a disciple.
