Chapter 398 - Magnificent Array (2/2)
The clouds rose and turned gentle. His heart was at ease.
Yun Xiao should have discovered Li Changshou’s figure. When she saw Li Changshou’s hesitation, she left the Three-Immortal Island and rushed over to meet him.
Although she was still as otherworldly and beautiful as usual, there was always a rare sense of laziness in her. She was dressed in a long robe and did not tie a ribbon around her waist. Her long hair seemed to be tied up casually with only a wooden hairpin… Li Changshou sighed softly and smiled. “I do need your help this time, but there will be no karma involved. I’m just dealing with some troublesome people.” Yun Xiao asked gently, “Is it urgent?”
“Not bad.”
“Then, wait for me for a while.” Yun Xiao agreed. Her beautiful figure was covered by the clouds. A moment later, she appeared again. She had already tied her long hair up and put a jade belt around her waist. Her green robe had been changed into a light blue dress.
Her black hair swayed in the wind, and her thin lips were pursed slightly. At that moment, Li Changshou realized… “You actually know how to put on light makeup? I thought that you wouldn’t care about that. Besides, regardless of whether you wear makeup or not, you are just as beautiful.”
“If I go to see you, I will have to dress up.” Yun Xiao pointed at a white cloud and said softly, “Third Sister taught me this.”
Apart from smiling foolishly, Li Changshou did not know how to answer.
Yun Xiao asked, “Where are we going? Why?”
“Oh, right. I almost forgot about the important matters.” Li Changshou’s paper effigy turned into a paper doll. “Bring this incarnation of mine to the Netherworld. Senior Brother Duobao and the others have already gone over. The Reincarnation Wheel is unwell. I’ll explain to you in detail on the way. Senior Brother Xuan Du has already gone to Chan School to invite some people to help.” Fairy Yun Xiao’s expression turned serious when she heard that. She turned into a wisp of smoke and rushed towards the Netherworld.
An hour later, in the sky above the Reincarnation Immortal Island, Fairy Yun Xiao arrived on a cloud and met up with Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit, who had been waiting there for a long time. Fairy Yun Xiao bowed. She was the last to enter the sect among the four disciples of the Grandmaster of Heaven. However, when Yun Xiao bowed, the three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were in a slightly reserved state. They either cupped their hands or bowed. Only Zhao Gongming, who was the eldest brother, was more casual. His legs turned weak… He took two steps forward.
“Second Sister, you’re really here!”
Yun Xiao said seriously, “Should we wait for Senior Brother Xuan Du and the others here or go down first?” Just as she finished speaking, a faint black and white Taiji Painting appeared behind her. The Great Daoist Master’s voice sounded from it. “We’re here. It took more effort to fetch some people.”
In the Taiji Painting, the Great Daoist Master took the first step. Then, it was the middle-aged Daoist who had a golden crown on his head and was dressed in a Daoist robethe Immortal Guang Chengzi of the Jade Void Palace who had attacked the Golden Bell. Behind Guang Chengzi, it was not the South Pole Immortal and Chi Jingzi who walked out. Instead, it was a young Daoist who was dressed in a red robe and had a handsome facePerfected Taiyi, as well as Perfected Yu Ding, who was dressed in a gray Daoist robe. Guang Chengzi’s cultivation level was comparable to Duobao and Gongming. Perfected Yu Ding rarely fought with others and did not know his cultivation level.
However, Perfected Tai Yi, who had been relatively active since ancient times, was clearly much weaker than his Eldest Senior Brother…
Perfected Taiyi felt a little awkward. He bowed to his senior brothers and senior sisters and smiled. “I don’t know the details. The two senior brothers asked me and Yu Ding to come over and help out with something important, so we immediately followed them.” What he meant was that he and Perfected Yu Ding did not take the initiative to come over. If they were to delay later, Guang Chengzi and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du would have to take the blame…
Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “I invited you two junior brothers over because you two are outstanding.”
“Let’s go down.” The Great Daoist Master said warmly, “Let’s meet up with Changgeng first and let him tell you in detail.” Duobao looked at the people from the Netherworld who were at a loss and said, “Should we go and greet them?” A voice in Yun Xiao’s sleeve said, “I’ll go.”
Li Changshou’s paper effigy flew out and transformed into the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d. He bowed to the eight big shots and said, “It just so happens that I have to go and inform a few Yama Lords about the follow-up. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, please go to the bottom of the Eighteen Levels of h.e.l.l first. There are already two Yama Lords, King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang, waiting below.” After saying that, Li Changshou rode a cloud and landed. The Great Daoist Master led the experts of the Chan School and Jie School towards the abyss. When they arrived at the lowest level of the Eighteen Levels of h.e.l.l, they met King Qinguang and King Chujiang, who were waiting there. Apart from the Great Daoist Master, the seven experts from the Dao Sect began to feel nervous.
At that moment, the two Yama Lords were really…
It was too tragic.
Their robes were tattered, their faces were swollen, and their bodies were covered in wounds. Their eyes were red and filled with tears. Their eyes were a little dim.
Daoist Duobao said worriedly, “Is it that serious?”
“You two Yama Lords have been affected by the Seven Emotions incarnation,” the Great Daoist Master said. “Later, you will be able to experience the power of the Seven Emotions.” The seven experts were on their guard. Fairy Yun Xiao knew the most information and was the calmest.
After removing the forty-nine restrictions, they stepped onto the edge of the lake and walked through the thick fog. They saw Li Changshou’s back as he sat in the middle of the lake.
The Great Daoist Master instructed, “Let’s go over. There is one of the seven emotions lying there, it’s grief.” The experts were extremely serious. They rode a cloud and arrived behind Li Changshou.
Li Changshou also wanted to test the seven experts’ endurance of the seven emotions.
Just as they were about to arrive, he took the initiative to speak to Little Grief, who was lying in front of him.
“G.o.ddess, are you really not willing to get up? I have already invited all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters over. Even if I have to carry you, I will carry you today…”
“What can I do even if I get up? What can you do by carrying me there? Everything is ultimately just an illusion. Why do you have to struggle uselessly? That’s right. Most of the time, if you don’t work hard, you won’t know how it feels to mess things up… However, I beg you, don’t torment me. Don’t give me hope and make me despair.”
Little Grief sighed softly and tears flowed down her face. “All of you only care about the other version of me. Who cares about me? I only have my tears.”
This…
A cross-shaped tendon appeared on Li Changshou’s forehead. He forcefully endured the grief that was attacking his Dao heart and quickly thought of something to make himself happy. He could even clearly sense that when Little Grief spoke, a storm-like “grief attack” erupted in various parts of the lake. “Ah…”
When he heard a long sigh from behind, the Great Daoist Master landed beside Li Changshou. He looked up at the fog in the distance and seemed to be thinking about something Li Changshou turned his head and saw the usually expressionless G.o.ddess Jinling wiping the corners of her eyes and quickly turning around.
Fairy Yun Xiao pursed her lips slightly. There was a hint of sorrow in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Ai’s figure with sympathy.
Zhao Gongming and Guang Chengzi were similar. They both looked a little sad, as if they had recalled something troubling them.
Those were all rather calm reactions…
At that moment, the calmest person was Perfected Yu Ding. He was the master of Yang Jian, whom Li Changshou had always believed to be a hidden big shot. At that moment, he looked at Xiao Ai with a gloomy gaze.
Next…
Perfected Taiyi suddenly fell to his knees. His eyes were filled with tears as he raised his head and took a deep breath. “Although I want to hold it in, my Dao is still lacking… Eldest Senior Brother, why did you bring me here to embarra.s.s myself!?!” “Ah.” Daoist Duobao sighed softly. His slightly plump face was filled with nostalgia and deep memories.
“Duobao, how did our happiness disappear?” Li Changshou could not help but blink when he heard that…
Disappear? Weren’t you quite happy when you abandoned the concealment of your Daoist robe and undergarments and “swam” in the treasure pile?
