Chapter 340 - Coincidentally Passing By (1/2)
Chapter 340 Coincidentally Pa.s.sing By
They were in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Heavenly Courts.
The Jade Emperor sat on the throne and looked at the civil and military generals in the hall, as well as the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang, who had just returned. There was a smile on his face.
My beloved subordinate Changgeng is really thinking about the Heavenly Courts all the time.
However, the Jade Emperor knew that the Immortal G.o.d that he was most satisfied with at that moment was purely thinking about things and considering everything… At that moment, the Heavenly River Navy was under Li Changshou’s orders to use the Heavenly River to march towards the North Heavenly Gate to prepare for the next wave of “descending from the sky”.
Bian Zhuang brought two Heavenly Generals to the Lingxiao Hall to report the matter. According to the Water G.o.d’s instructions, Bian Zhuang was currently hanging his head low to report the matter regarding Ao Yi’s rebellion. Bian Zhuang still had a conscience after all. When he reported, he did not fail to mention the Water G.o.d…
“The Crown Prince of the West Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao s.h.i.+, has been captured by the Water G.o.d. The rebels of the Dragon Palace were forced to retreat by the Water G.o.d. After the West Ocean Dragon King was hurt by the Water G.o.d, he had rushed to the West Ocean Eye to guard it. Due to the fact that Ao s.h.i.+ also has a Deity Position, the West Ocean Dragon King is handing Ao s.h.i.+ to His Majesty to deal with…” After reporting, the Jade Emperor nodded slowly and asked, “How’s the situation in the West Ocean Dragon Palace?” Bian Zhuang sighed and said, “No.”
“That’s all?”
“I saw it with my own eyes. There are only ten to twenty percent of the dragons of the West Ocean Dragon Palace left. There is a huge pit at the bottom of the sea which is full of dragon corpses.”
Bian Zhuang’s Adam’s apple trembled as he said softly, “According to the Elder of the West Ocean Dragon race, the minds of most of the living beings in the West Ocean Dragon Palace have been controlled. From what I saw, there were only a few hundred trusted aides around the West Ocean Dragon King. From the looks of it, the Water G.o.d must have had a peerless battle with the dragon race rebels! He protected the West Sea Dragon King and Mother Dragon!” The Jade Emperor could not help but frown. His voice was a little anxious. “Is the Water G.o.d alright?”
“Your Majesty, don’t worry.” Bian Zhuang hurriedly said, “The Water G.o.d’s robe is not even wrinkled at all.”
The Jade Emperor in white heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled and said, “I was overthinking. Changgeng is from Ren School. How could he be injured by such a lowly person? Minister Bian Zhuang, where is Minister Changgeng now?” Bian Zhuang said, “The Water G.o.d has asked me and the Heavenly River Navy to rush to the North Gate. He will be providing support for the North Ocean Dragon Palace at any time. I don’t know where the Water G.o.d is currently. He should be heading to the North Ocean.”
The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and pondered. General Dongmu, who was below the platform, stroked his beard and groaned. He took a few steps forward and bowed.
“Your Majesty, war has already broken out in the South Ocean and the East Ocean. The Water G.o.d can mediate with all his might but I’m afraid he can’t split himself up. Although His Majesty has already ordered the Water G.o.d to take care of the four seas, the four seas are in danger. The Heavenly Courts cannot ignore it.” “What you say makes sense, General Dongmu.” The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and ordered, “General Dongmu, order 100,000 troops to go to the East Ocean to help the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Then, a general will bring 100,000 troops to the South Ocean Dragon Palace to help.” General Dongmu immediately accepted the order and rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment to deploy troops. This time, the Heavenly Courts’ movements were not slow. Soon, 100,000 troops gathered at the South-Heaven Gate and the East Heaven Gate.
A good show like this, ahem, a big matter naturally had to do with the righteous and magnanimous Marshal Hua Ritian!
The 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers in the South Ocean were led by Hua Ritian and two Heavenly Generals who did not deserve to have names. Considering that the other Heavenly Generals were not strong enough, the dragon race’s army and the Sea Clan’s rebel army were fighting fiercely everywhere in the South Ocean… Hua Ritian could only make a move personally. He hid and rushed to the South Ocean Dragon Palace to meet the dragon race.
It was reasonable and irrefutable. The Jade Emperor’s incarnation originally wanted to meet up Changgeng. However, when he arrived at the South Ocean Dragon Palace and met the South Ocean Dragon King as the Heavenly Courts’ Marshal, he did not see Changgeng at all. When he asked the Dragon King, the Dragon King also said that the Water G.o.d had never been there…
Hua Ritian sighed in his heart. He knew that he had chosen the wrong direction. His beloved Changgeng should have gone to the North Ocean or the East Ocean.
Just as he was feeling regretful that he could not fight alongside Changgeng, Hua Ritian’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly sensed the location of the Water G.o.d’s divine power. It seemed to be within a five-thousand-kilometer radius.
That could be considered a small power of the Heavenly Emperor.
At that moment, Hua Ritian and the South Ocean Dragon King had agreed to send out a “signal”. He hurriedly left the South Ocean Dragon Palace in a bid to meet up with Li Changshou.
However, what Hua Ritian did not expect was…
He unexpectedly obtained first-hand information about his minister fooling around and seducing a fairy during his office hours!
It was said that the sun had just left the Dragon Palace. His immortal senses scanned the sky that he had sensed but found nothing.
After searching carefully for a while, he still did not find anything
Hua Ritian could not help but feel a little compet.i.tive.
Hence, the main body in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall closed his eyes and activated the power of the Heavenly Dao to augment his incarnation! Hua Ritian’s eyes glistened with golden light. He immediately saw through the empty s.p.a.ce and saw the white-haired old man and the beautiful figure shrouded in immortal light and white fog… Is Changgeng… flirting? Eh? That’s not right… Li Changgeng, you only ever used your incarnation in front of me. Your main body actually only appeared under such circ.u.mstances! The Jade Emperor’s incarnation laughed cursed in his heart and felt puzzled again… Who is this fairy? Her incarnation was supported by the power of the Heavenly Dao, and he could not see through it at all. Afraid of alarming the female immortal, Hua Ritian did not look further. He deliberately released his aura and swaggered towards the South-Heaven Gate.
After all, he was the Jade Emperor. He could not fly up and take the initiative to greet his ministers. Besides, it would not be nice if he directly exposed them. He felt that it was better to give them some mental preparation.
It was a small detail about the Heavenly Emperor. Minister Changgeng is a steady person. He should not be so careless as to not discover my incarnation. However, when Hua Ritian saw the Heavenly Courts’ army from afar…
Ugh! He said that the entire Heavenly Courts was just a pretense!
However… it makes me feel more at ease when beloved Changgeng is in this state.
Hua Ritian squinted and smiled. He first met up with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
After some thought, he led the 100,000-strong army to where Li Changshou was. Yes, they were just “pa.s.sing by” while on the way to support the dragon race.
On a white cloud in the northwest of the South Ocean Dragon Palace, Li Changshou maintained the appearance of the Sea G.o.d and walked on the cloud with his hands behind his back. He explained the feud between the Western Sect and the Dragon Palace in detail to Fairy Yun Xiao. Naturally, Li Changshou hid most of the content of his schemes and added a little drama.
He told them about the development of the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean, the gradual change in the dragon race’s att.i.tude towards the Heavenly Courts, and the constant oppression of the Western Sect… When he combined those lines, he could still speak clearly and without any confusion. Yun Xiao listened attentively and would ask a few questions from time to time. Every time she opened her mouth, she would go straight to the point. That made Li Changshou feel that she actually understood him.
I miss peaches.
In fact, Yun Xiao did not “understand him”. However, Yun Xiao could see the contradictions and problems everywhere. At that moment, Li Changshou realized why the big shots of Jie School were more or less in awe of Fairy Yun Xiao…
The questions she asked were really too difficult to answer. For example, she asked, “Fellow Daoist, how can you be sure that what you deduced will definitely happen? There are variables in the Heavenly Dao. The Great Dao often resonates. Sometimes, deductions would be concealed by others. These are actually not accurate. Since the Saint has the ability to deceive the heavenly secrets, the Saint might also have the ability to create them. Your cultivation level is not even at the Golden Immortal realm. If you make a mistake, wouldn’t you be risking your life?”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and answered seriously, “I’m not good at deduction and divination. Fairy, you also know that I have not cultivated for long. My Dao realm has not reached that level. When I deduce, I will not be able to encounter many of the heavenly secrets.” Yun Xiao asked curiously, “How did you do that?”
“By thinking.”
Li Changshou pointed at his heart. In the Primordial World, he had to follow the local customs. He could not point at his head.
