Chapter 380 - “Normal” (2/2)
Long Ji reacted quickly and replied with a smile. The moment Li Changshou said that he had something important to do, she stopped saying that she would go with him. That made Li Changshou feel comfortable.
Li Changshou immediately asked Long Ji to play in the Water G.o.d Residence. Then, he hurriedly left the residence with Ao Yi.
The three thousand Heavenly Soldiers and four others formed a long line. Ao Yi had also invited Li Changshou to enter a magnificent carriage. Two mighty beasts were pulling the carriage. The Heavenly Soldiers led the way, and the Heavenly Generals followed them. No one stopped them.
He really looked like an ordinary minister.
After leaving the East Heaven Gate and crossing the vast East Ocean, the Heavenly Soldiers each activated their immortal powers. Like a silver-white azure dragon, they followed and entered the Netherworld. The journey was as fast as lightning, the clouds rose and the fog followed. It attracted the attention of many Qi Refinement cultivators, and even caused the immortals who were rus.h.i.+ng to the Netherworld to discuss. When they arrived outside the main gate of Fengdu City, a group of otherworldly soldiers walked forward and politely stopped the Heavenly Courts’ carriage. When they asked if it was the Water G.o.d in the carriage, they immediately made way and rushed back to Fengdu City to report. Not long after, the entire Fengdu City became lively. The Yama Lords of the Ten Halls gathered at the city gate and waited. Thirty of the most experienced of the Three Thousand Netherworld Judges had arrived. The other netherworld soldiers were countless. Ox-head and Horse-Face, the good helpers of the Water G.o.d who were also the representatives of the Netherworld Magi and had the deepest relations.h.i.+p with the Water G.o.d, were arranged to be in a relatively conspicuous position. Later on, they would be in charge of creating an atmosphere. The path to Fengdu City had been sealed. The immortals who had come to the Netherworld to work had also been told not to move for the time being.
The Heavenly Soldiers led the way while the otherworldly soldiers avoided them.
The carriage stopped and the Heavenly General reported.
Ao Yi said loudly, “Reporting to the Water G.o.d, we have arrived five kilometers outside Fengdu City!” In the carriage, Li Changshou put away the jade slip in his hand and tidied his white robe. He carried his horsetail whisk and lowered his head to leave the carriage. He immediately bowed to Fengdu City from afar.
“Let the troops wait here. The reincarnation land is where the Lady of Earth is. Don’t cause trouble for the Netherworld.”
“Okay!” Ao Yi cupped his fists and agreed. He ordered thirty Heavenly Soldiers to follow behind Li Changshou and rode a cloud towards Fengdu City. They exchanged pleasantries in front of the city and bowed. Li Changshou went straight to the point and smiled. “I have something important to discuss with the members of the Netherworld this time. Please find a secluded place and let us talk in detail.” “Water G.o.d, please!”
King Qinguang immediately made arrangements. He ordered the ghosts of the Yin Sect to disperse. The ten Yama Lords cooperated with Ox-head and Horse-face and led Li Changshou and Ao Yi to the Yama Hall.
When they arrived in the hall, King Qinguang insisted that Li Changshou take a seat. Li Changshou naturally refused. The reason that the Netherworld servants was able to show him that much respect was firstly because of the Heavenly Courts and secondly, because of the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain. Li Changshou had resolved the danger of the extermination of the Magi in the North Continent. The ten Yama Lords had a high status in the Heavenly Dao. Li Changshou had always weighed his own weight in the most stable manner. Sitting on the stone chair that the Yama Lord had just ordered someone to move over, Li Changshou looked around and said, “Ao Yi, bring the Heavenly Soldiers to guard outside the hall.” When King Qinguang saw that, he immediately continued, “Other than Marshals Ox-head and Horse-face, all guards, retreat!”
At that moment, the Netherworld servants and the Heavenly Soldiers in the hall retreated, causing the majestic and gloomy hall to become empty.
“Ahem!” Li Changshou cleared his throat. The Yama Lord of the tenth hall, who was sitting at the side, and Ox-head and Horse-Face, who were standing beside him and did not dare to speak, leaned forward in unison, afraid that they would miss Li Changshou’s words. “Everyone, don’t be so nervous.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not difficult for the Netherworld.”
King Qinguang smiled and said, “How can it be difficult for the matters that the Water G.o.d has instructed? Those are all important matters! Moreover, they have stirred up the Heavenly Courts!” King Wuguan cupped his hands and smiled. “It’s all thanks to you, Water G.o.d, that the matter in the North Continent happened. We really don’t know how to repay you. If the Water G.o.d requests, we will do our best.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and took out the jade box from his sleeve.
“To be honest, I came to the Netherworld this time for public and private reasons. This matter has to be kept a secret for a hundred years. Don’t tell anyone about it!”
The ten Yama Lords widened their eyes and held their breaths. Li Changshou said, “I want everyone to help me send a wisp of my soul to reincarnate.” The Yama Hall immediately fell silent. One could hear the sound of a pin dropping, and the sound of a candle burning could be heard. It was only when Ox-head shouted, “Ah!” However, before Ox-head could say anything, Horse-face, who was at the side, kicked Ox-head to the ground. King Chujiang, who was a little closer, turned around and slapped him, causing Ox-head to see stars. “This is a serious matter.” King Qinguang said firmly, “However, no matter how difficult it is, the Netherworld will definitely do our best. The entire Netherworld will definitely help the Water G.o.d complete such a huge matter!” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m more at ease now. Everyone, please take a look.” He calmly undid the restrictions on the treasure box. There were wisps of golden merit on it. He directly used the merit to condense a white-robed young man’s meditating figure. “The person who is about to reincarnate is none other than the Jade Emperor of our Heavenly Courts.”
With a few thuds, a few stone chairs collapsed. The ten Yama Lords stood up.
At first, he was dumbfounded. Then, he looked at each other and almost knelt down… “The reincarnation of the Jade Emperor?”
“How can I do that? Is the Jade Emperor injured?”
“This seems to be a wisp of soul…”
“That’s right.” Li Changshou stood up and smiled. Then, he retracted his smile and said seriously, “This Emperor of ours is worried about the Three Realms and the commoners. However, because he has never experienced the suffering in the mortal world, he does not know the woes of mortals. Therefore, His Majesty used this wisp of soul to reincarnate. After experiencing the mortal world, he could comprehend the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Emperor Dao. Everyone, you must not leak this matter out, lest you ruin His Majesty’s cultivation.”
“Understood!”
“Don’t worry, Water G.o.d!” The Yama Lords of the ten halls immediately came forward and surrounded the brocade box. He muttered and discussed how to reincarnate, how to keep it a secret, and how to report this matter to the Lady of Earth.
Li Changshou quickly captured the key point…
The Lady of Earth?
He was surprisingly certain that the Lady of Earth, who had transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, could still communicate with the outside world!
That should be the trump card of the Netherworld and the last reliance of Fengdu City. Li Changshou did not ask further. The Yama Lords surrounded him and discussed.
Reincarnation was their profession.
Ox-head and Horse-face came over from the side and sized up the Jade Emperor’s soul curiously. His headgear shook…
Huh? Headgear… Li Changshou looked at the ten ferocious-looking Yan Lords and carefully identified them.
Indeed, there was a slight difference in color on his neck!
Soon, the ten Yama Lords discussed the matter. King Qinguang said, “Water G.o.d, we will definitely do our best to help you. However, there are two things. Firstly, how should the Life and Death Book determine the fate of the reincarnation? We don’t dare to make any rash decisions. If we let the Life and Death Book form on its own, what if His Majesty doesn’t like it… Apart from that, the Jade Emperor’s soul reincarnation is a wisp of his soul. It is also an earth-shattering matter. We still need the G.o.ddess to agree to this. Otherwise, we will not dare to start the reincarnation. Why don’t I bring you to the Reincarnation Disc later and tell the G.o.ddess about this? Don’t worry, the G.o.ddess will definitely agree.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Yama Lord, you are right, this matter is very important. It’s reasonable for the G.o.ddess to take care of it.
As for the future, His Majesty actually has a small request.”
Qin Guangw.a.n.g shook his sleeves. The treasure light in his hand surged and condensed into a Judge’s Brush and a Book of Life and Death. At that moment, he might still be using the “original” of the Heavenly Dao Treasure.
“Water G.o.d, tell me!”
Li Changshou took out a scroll and handed it to Qin Guangw.a.n.g. He looked a little awkward. “This is a small request from His Majesty. Ahem, His Majesty is going to experience the life of a mortal this time. The main point is to lead an ordinary life. Therefore, let’s choose an ordinary… wealthy family. He shall have ordinary childhood friends and have ordinary aspirations. His entire life has to be as ordinary and exciting as possible. The main point is that if His Majesty wants to experience what it’s like to be an elder brother, he has to focus on arranging an ordinary, beautiful little sister…” Beads of cold sweat immediately seeped out of Qin Guangw.a.n.g’s forehead. However, he took a closer look at the scroll and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that half of the content was about the figure, appearance, and temperament of a reincarnated person. There were no substantial life arrangements.
“How about this?” King Qinguang smiled and said, “Why don’t you go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation first? I and the others will carefully set up a rough path for His Majesty here and let you take a look.” “Alright, thank you.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and thanked him. The Yama Lords hurriedly returned the gesture and gave Ox-head and Horse-face a stone talisman. They asked Ox-head and Horse-face to lead the Water G.o.d to the Reincarnation Mystic Realm. As soon as Li Changshou left, the ten Yama Halls gathered again and began to come up with an ordinary life story. The Lady of Earth… Li Changshou felt inexplicably nervous. At that moment, whenever he heard the word ‘G.o.ddess’, he could not help but feel… traumatized.
