Chapter 333 - Don’t Worry, My Lips Are Sealed! (1/2)
The situation in the Western Kunlun Mountain today is a little unstable.
In a secluded valley in the majestic mountains, the old Daoist priest with a youthful face slowly stood up in a Cave Abode that had the sign ‘Eight Treasures Cloud Light Cave’.
He seemed to have sensed that something was about to happen. However, it was difficult to determine the exact details. He pinched his fingers and deduced. He only knew that it was related to his Dao heritage — the Immortal Du Sect.
“It seems to be the opening ceremony again. It’s the day the Immortal Du Sect takes in disciples.” Perfected Du’e pondered for a while and decided to go to the Immortal Du Sect to take a look.
To the Perfected One, it would be embarra.s.sing for the Great Daoist Master to appear and help when the Immortal Du Sect was attacked by a group of demon puppets.
‘I can’t make any more mistakes and alarm the Great Daoist Master.’
The old Daoist priest pondered. The old Daoist priest hummed a sutra tune and walked around the s.p.a.cious Cave Abode.
He first went to a neat cubicle.
He opened the wooden cabinet and chose a gray Daoist robe made of silver velvet. Then, he turned around and looked at the different horsetail whisk hanging on the wall next door.
Perfected Du’e chose one that matched his Daoist robe and held it in his hand.
He walked to the “cloud room” next door and picked a white cloud that was mixed with gray. He stepped on it and floated out of his Cave Abode.
Not every horsetail whisk could catch his eye.
For example, not every itinerant cultivator was fortunate enough to be accepted as an in-name disciple by the Grand Pure One.
“Pay particular attention”.
The journey was neither rushed nor slow. He rode a cloud east and admired the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Middle Continent. Soon, he arrived near the Immortal Du Sect.
At that moment, the Immortal Du Sect was bustling with activity. There were many people outside the sect, and there were tests of various levels prepared inside the sect.
Perfected Du’e nodded when he saw that. Hiding in the clouds, he walked around and was quite satisfied with the magnificent scene.
Not long after, two elders of the Immortal Du Sect flew out of the sect and announced the start of the disciple selection…
“Today is the opening ceremony. The disciples will enter through the mountain gate and arrive at the main peak. There are a total of eighteen trials and tribulations. Those who are chosen by the immortals in the sect to become disciples will make their own decisions and choose whether to leave or stay.
“Those who do not get chosen by the immortals in the sect, but have outstanding potential, can stay in the mountain to be servant disciples. The sect will naturally arrange a cultivation schedule. For the ceremony this time, a new stone of destiny has been added according to the Sect Leader’s orders. If you have good luck, you can enter the sect to cultivate…” Luck?
Perfected Dule raised his eyebrows slightly and felt that it made sense.
At that moment, the Perfected One continued to hide in the cloud and watch. He easily saw through the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation and saw what happened next. The three Golden Immortals in the sect did not notice that.
However…
Is Perfected Du’e really here? Li Changshou stood by the lake of the Little Qiong Peak with his hands behind his back and pondered carefully. He originally wanted to use destiny as a guide to let the Sect Leader take Li Jing in as a disciple, in place of his master. However, it seemed that his many arrangements might not be necessary. It was better to be prepared. The appearance of Perfected Du’e further proved that Li Jing was that Li Jing!
After some thought, Li Changshou turned around and returned to the straw hut.
The destiny Dharma artifact had already been handed over to the Sect Leader to deal with. To be safe, Li Changshou had also made two arrangements. Firstly, he had pointed out to the Sect Leader that one of the disciples had astonis.h.i.+ng luck. Of course, he was using the Great Daoist Master’s name.
Secondly, Li Changshou would keep an eye on Li Jing’s entry to the sect throughout the entire process. If Li Jing’s luck was insufficient, Li Changshou would create a “backup plan” on the luck Dharma artifact. At that moment, Li Jing, who was among the youths and children, had no idea what was awaiting him…
Hence, half a day later, a ray of dark purple light soared into the sky in front of the Heaven-Breaking Peak.
Perfected Du’e, who was planning to leave on the cloud, could not help but be shocked. The elders gathered in the Immortal Du Hall and rushed out of the hall. Even Sect Leader Ji Wuyou, who had received Li Changshou’s instructions in advance, was shocked by the power of destiny. He covered his mouth with his elbow and coughed a few times. Then, he rode a cloud towards the Luck Testing Stone… However, in the blink of an eye, Li Jing, who was at a loss, was surrounded by figures… Li Changshou, who was in the straw hut, chuckled. He continued to leave a wisp of immortal senses to observe Li Jing’s surroundings. Most of his attention was focused outside the sect.
Ordinary officials had ordinary matters to attend to.
The paper effigy that was planted near the West Ocean Dragon Palace had observed the surroundings of the Dragon Palace over the past two days. A large number of Immortal Flood Dragon troops were constantly being mobilized and deployed, which was rather abnormal. The members of the Western Sect should have a lot of pent up anger. They were probably going to use the West Ocean Dragon Palace as an outlet to vent their anger.
The Dragon King of the West Ocean… was in danger. In order to make it easier for him to command and carry out unified management, Li Changshou had also upgraded the paper effigies in batches after he advanced and became the Water G.o.d. He had established the ‘Water’ paper effigy army that dealt with rivers, lakes, and seas. Thanks to the fact that Aunt-Master Jiu had been diligently exploiting the old spiritual tree sap in the sect the past few years. Li Changshou’s paper effigy vault and Spiritual Explosion paper effigy trump card vault were quickly filled up. Previously, Li Changshou had transferred half of the ‘Water’ paper effigies to the West Ocean to deal with the changes that could happen in the West Ocean at any time.
According to the style of the Western Sect’s slingshot, he reckoned that the Western Sect would capture the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
If I can do something, I’ll do something.
However, just as Li Changshou settled down a few paper effigy legions, his spiritual will heard the little dragon’s voice… “Brother Sect Master! Something happened!” ‘The dragon race reacted in time this time.’ As Li Changshou thought about that, he released his spiritual will through the statue and pulled Ao Yi into the dream. When the Sect Masters of the Sea G.o.d Sect met, they spoke at the same time… Li Changshou said, “The situation around the West Ocean Dragon Palace is not optimistic. I have already discovered the traces of many Primordial Beasts.”
However, Ao Yi said, “Aunt-Master Golden Light brought a group of female immortals from the island to the Sea G.o.d Temple in Anshui City!”
The two of them were stunned at the same time after hearing each other’s words. “G.o.ddess of Golden Light?”
“Brother, what happened to the West Ocean?”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “There’s something strange about the West Ocean Dragon Palace. I think the Western Sect is going to cause trouble. Go and inform your father. I’ll deal with the Sea G.o.d Temple. The fairies that you mentioned… When they came, were they happy or angry? Were they indignant or worried?”
“Yes… They didn’t seem to be too emotional. They were originally comforting Aunt-Master Golden Light and then they agreed to look for Brother.”
Li Changshou nodded slowly and heaved a sigh of relief.
Without needing Li Changshou to urge him, Ao Yi bowed and hurriedly left. Li Changshou hid the paper effigies in the West Ocean deeper. He left some attention in the West Ocean and arranged for a Golden Immortal paper effigy to wait in the Sea G.o.d Temple.
