Chapter 398 Magnificent Array
“That’s why… We need at least seven experts to suppress or delay the Seven Emotions incarnations that have broken out. These seven experts must have sufficient strength. Their Dao hearts cannot have too many flaws. They have to be able to resist the resonance power of the seven emotions in the Six Paths of Reincarnation…”
The Great Daoist Master lowered his head and pondered for a while. He raised his head and said, “Why don’t you go to the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace and say that with your glib tongue, you might be able to make Teacher take action!”
Directly ask the Saint to attack…
Although Li Changshou was very tempted by that suggestion, he knew that it was just an unrealistic idea.
The Saint might attack, but he would definitely appear to help them clean up the mess after the two of them failed. Otherwise, what was the point of the Saints nurturing their disciples?
At that time, what awaited them would probably be Ling’e’s favorite reward… “Senior Brother, if Teacher wants to do it personally, why did he arrange for us to come here?”
“I’m just joking. Junior Brother, go to Jie School. I’ll go to Chan School.”
The Great Daoist Master pondered carefully and instructed, “Even if your cultivation level is lacking, you can just use your Dao heart to resist the seven emotions, especially when one’s mind cannot have any obvious flaws or obsessions. Otherwise, they will definitely take advantage of the Seven Emotions incarnations.”
Li Changshou said, “I want to invite Senior Brother Duobao, Senior Brother Gongming, and Fairy Yun Xiao to help. If everything goes smoothly, I might be able to invite the fourth… According to your knowledge, which expert from Jie School is suitable to take on this role?”
“Junior Sister Wudang and Junior Sister Jinling.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du pondered for a while. “The Black Clouds Immortal can do that too. However, Third Aunt-Master’s attendant immortals usually don’t partic.i.p.ate in external matters. Since I’m helping the Lady of Earth this time, it’s beneficial to the common people. It’s better to invite the personal disciples of the two Aunt-Masters.”
“Alright.” Li Changshou lowered his head and agreed. He watched as the Great Daoist Master broke through the universe and left the lake of tears.
There was no need for his main body to walk around. He hung the PaG.o.da Master above his head and sat cross-legged by the lake. He held the gra.s.s ring with his left hand and calmly sorted out the following steps. He was about ninety-two percent confident about that.
Due to the fact that many experts had to attack at the same time, there were too many uncontrollable factors on both sides. He was 90% confident that he could take the risk.
Why did the crying stop? Li Changshou turned around and looked at the two Yama Lords 100 feet away… “Brother, how could I have dared to attack you previously? I deserve to die. I’m weak and timid. Living is a waste of food for the clan. Ancestor is in so much pain now, but I can’t help her at all!”
“Second Brother, don’t say anymore. These are all my responsibilities. The Magi who should die the most are me, me.” Why did it change?
Li Changshou was worried that the two experts of the Magi race would really walk on the path of no return. He took action in time and sent King Qinguang and King Qinguang out of the Lake of Tears. He asked them to calm down outside first. In a while, he would need the help of two Yama Lords. That was also a crucial step. Let’s begin. He put away the gra.s.s ring and formed a seal with both hands. Li Changshou’s body emitted specks of light. Scenes appeared in his mind again. The paper effigies in the five continents woke up and flew out of their hiding place.
He would search for immortals and spirits in the world.
In the secret chamber of the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou lowered his head and picked up his brush. He quickly completed the entire plan and set a fixed time — three days later, at three o’clock in the morning.
That was the most crucial point of time. As the Six Paths of Reincarnation could not be communicated in time, they had to follow the standard timeline and arrange the subsequent steps. After deciding on that node, Li Changshou immediately began to summon the Divine Envoys through the statue of the Sea G.o.d… In the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d Residence, the paper effigy of the Water G.o.d rode a cloud and rushed to the Hall of Enlightenment.
In the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Li Changshou and the Dragon King of the East Ocean met in the hall that was filled with boredom.
In the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou went to the Immortal Du Hall and found his Sect Leader. He whispered something… At the same time, Li Changshou’s paper effigy, the water G.o.d, rode a cloud and landed on Golden Ao Island. The “Breakup Ceremony” held by Zhao Gongming had already ended. After all, they were in a hurry. There was no banquet. However, Zhao Gongming had yet to leave Golden Ao Island. He was still drinking wine in the Cave Abode of the Great Black Clouds Immortal, with a few close friends and personal disciples of Jie School. Fortunately, Daoist Duobao and the G.o.ddess of Golden Light were also there, saving Li Changshou from the ha.s.sle of running around. Li Changshou was picked up in an earth cave.
He first bowed to the dozen immortals and did not take a seat. Instead, he looked serious and lowered his head.
“I’m going to disturb Senior Brother and Senior Sister. The Netherworld is in danger, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation are abnormal. The Lady of Earth is trapped by the seven emotions of all living beings. I was ordered by Teacher to help the Great Daoist Master. After entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I could not resist the power of the seven emotions. I could only retreat in a sorry state and needed the help of an expert who could resist the seven emotions resonance. I, Li Changgeng, a disciple of Ren School, hope that Senior Brother Duobao, Senior Brother Gongming, and Senior Sister Jin Ling can help the Lady of Earth overcome the ordeal.”
“What happened?”
Zhao Gongming immediately stood up and threw his chopsticks aside. He hurriedly asked, “How’s the Lady of Earth’s condition?”
“I can still persevere at this moment.” Li Changshou paused and looked up with a bitter smile. “However, the seven emotions are suffering and I have forcefully transformed into the incarnation of the seven emotions. Every incarnation of the seven emotions is eating away at the Lady of Earth’s mind. In order to ensure the stability of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Lady of Earth has willingly endured the sorrows of all living beings…”
“Are the three of us enough?”
Daoist Duobao stood up. There was a tinge of dignity on his slightly plump face. “I’ll gather all my Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers to go to the Netherworld to help!”
“Senior Brother, you can’t,” Li Changshou hurriedly said. “Firstly, you can’t disclose this matter to the outside world. It’s to prevent everyone from panicking or being schemed against. Secondly, the Seven Emotions Resonance is very troublesome. When Senior Brother and I entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, we only faced evil and desire. We can only rely on the Taiji Painting and the Mysterious Yellow PaG.o.da to protect ourselves. If anyone who enters the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc has any abnormal Dao Heart, they will be taken advantage of by the incarnations of the Seven Emotions!”
“Only the few of us can do this.” The G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit stood up. Her golden dress rang. “We’ll talk about the rest on the way. Let’s go to the Netherworld first.”
Li Changshou bowed and said, “There’s one more thing. I want to use the power of the sect to facilitate it. Senior Brother Duobao, please take a look at this letter.”
As he spoke, Li Changshou pushed a jade token over with his immortal power. Daoist Duobao raised his hand and took it. He read it carefully and smiled.
“It’s just a small matter. Should I leave this matter to… Jinguang?”
“I’m here!”
The G.o.ddess of Golden Light, who was at the break-up banquet, immediately stood up and agreed. She took the jade token that Daoist Duobao had pushed over. Duobao reminded, “Just do as Changgeng asked. In three days, spread the news throughout the Three Realms and all the Immortal Sects that are related to Jie School. If any of the immortal sects of Jie School do not pay their respects on time, take back the cultivation technique manuals of Jie School!
Changgeng rarely requests your help. This matter is definitely not trivial. You must not neglect it.” The G.o.ddess of Golden Light immediately bowed and accepted the order. “Yes! Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Brother!” Li Changshou said, “The three of you, please go to the Netherworld. There will be two or three senior brothers from Chan School going to meet up later. This is just a foolproof plan.”
“Finally, there’s something that I need to gather the power of the three sects for.” Zhao Gongming sighed and bowed to the G.o.ddess of Golden Light with a Dao salute. The latter bowed too. It could be considered that she had ended her emotional experience. Daoist Duobao opened a hole nearby and said, “Let’s go.” Then, he jumped into the hole.
When Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit entered the cave one after another, Li Changshou’s paper effigy bowed to the other immortals of Jie School and hurriedly left the Black Clouds Immortal’s Cave and rushed to the Three-Immortal Island.
He naturally had to invite G.o.ddess Yun Xiao.
In terms of mental cultivation, Yun Xiao might not be the best among the immortals of Jie School, but she was indeed the most suitable candidate that Li Changshou could think of to fight against the power of the seven emotions.
Moreover, Fairy Yun Xiao’s Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice was also a precious treasure. It might be very effective. When he arrived at the cloud above the sea again, Li Changshou felt a little guilty.
I rarely take the initiative to come to the Three-Immortal Island. This time, I’m here because I have something to ask… Yes, he was indeed too pa.s.sive. However, before Li Changshou could enter the clouds outside the Three-Immortal Island, he heard a soft exclamation. A cloud slid past him. The familiar soft voice entered Li Changshou’s ears, heart, and soul, causing most of his worries to disappear. “What’s wrong? You look troubled. Did you encounter any difficulties?” The cloud quickly dissipated, revealing Fairy Yun Xiao’s figure. She stood quietly ten feet away.
