Chapter 412 - For Nothing” (1/2)
Chapter 412 “For Nothing”
“Fellow Daoist Water G.o.d, after thinking for three days, I feel that… What you said previously is wrong. The demons are not human, and the two cannot be considered the same. The demons are an alliance formed by the Ten Thousand Spirit Alliance. They do not share the same race or the same race. I am also a Connate lifeform. How can I betray the demons today? Indeed, under the Heavenly Dao, I am still a demon. I have indeed been unlucky in Lu Ya’s matter, but I have never betrayed him! I felt that your words made sense when I first heard them three days ago. They indeed broke my defense. However, they were really sophistry. I secretly thought about it and realized that they included too much about the demons. It was an unfair victory! Why don’t we talk about the matter regarding the demons back then and who the famous warriors of the Primordial World are? I helped the Demon G.o.d control all the races and escaped unscathed. Although there was no lack of schemes and evil deeds in the process, I still managed to let the thousands of races escape the fate of being eaten by the Magi. I’m morally upright. I do not feel guilty for pus.h.i.+ng the demons out to help the Heavenly Courts, Lu Ya, and myself. “
Li Changshou, who was holding a few treasure pouches beside the pool on the Black Pool Peak, smiled when he heard Bai Ze’s words.
Bai Ze is indeed harder to deceive than those old masters who can watch from afar… Li Changshou naturally understood the logic behind Bai Ze’s words today. When he had discussed that with Saint Nuwa previously, the discussion was much deeper.
However, arguing was unreasonable to begin with. Today, Bai Ze had challenged him to a battle. Li Changshou naturally would not show any signs of fear.
Doesn’t everyone prepare for battle for three days?
When Bai Ze spent three days thinking about the loopholes in Li Changshou’s previous words and his arguments, Li Changshou was thinking about what to say today. The beginning of the attack was to communicate with each other. To deal with a figure like Bai Ze, he had to have enough conflicting thoughts. Just the restrictions of his essence soul and the Heavenly Dao oath were only to make him obey on the surface. If he really needed to use Bai Ze in the future, he would not have to use his full strength. It would not be considered breaking the Heavenly Dao oath…
Li Changshou took out a pile of precious materials from his treasure pouch and smiled. “Mr. Bai, why don’t you work with me today and create an abode and kitchen? Let’s talk about the demons slowly.” “Alright.” Bai Ze smiled and did not argue about that matter. Although he felt carefree, he was more eager to try and wait for Li Changshou’s debate today. Not long after, the man and the auspicious beast began to get busy. Bai Ze rolled up his sleeves and Li Changshou took out the paper effigy. He found the foundation and cleared the weeds before starting to build a small building
Bai Ze smiled and said, “Compared to a Cave Abode made of mystical abilities and Dharma spells, this is more peaceful for my Dao heart.” Li Changshou casually threw out the topic of the day. “Mr. Bai, why don’t we talk about whether there’s a chance to salvage the situation when the demons are divided and fallen?”
“This time, I will not be knocked unconscious by your punches like last time.”
“You and I are just discussing matters.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior should know best about what happened back then. I’ll let you choose. Do you think that the demons could be saved back then?”
Bai Ze pondered for a while and said, “Yes.”
“Then I can’t be saved.” Li Changshou pressed the round log in his hand into the ground and dug the pit at the back. “Sir, please.” “Ahem! The disadvantage of the demons in the past was not that there were too many races and they were too scattered. Instead, it was that the pressure given by the Magi was insufficient. The Magi only hunted and did not treat the demons as enemies… Although in the eyes of the Magi, food is not worthy to be called an enemy…” Hence, on the Black Pool Peak, the man and the auspicious beast, who had been away for three days, spoke again. Before Li Changshou arrived, he was fully prepared. To be safe, he had prepared both the positive and negative opinions. He easily captured some loopholes in Bai Ze’s words and immediately counterattacked, gradually bringing Bai Ze into his own rhythm. After building a simple pavilion, Li Changshou once again made Bai Ze unable to retort. He also made Bai Ze feel that something was amiss…
Li Changshou smiled and bade farewell. He agreed to visit the peak in three days. Bai Ze paced around the pool for another three days. On the third day, his eyes lit up and he figured out what was going on.
Then, he was eager to try and wait for Li Changshou to “fight”!
On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou leisurely dealt with the trivial matters of the Heavenly Courts and looked at the situation of the demons. He was concerned about the changes in the black leopard’s personality and looked at the operation of the nursing home in Anshui City. Then, he prepared the next question and argument. When it was time, he went to look for Bai Ze. That should be the most difficult living being that Li Changshou had encountered since his debut in the Primordial World. He had to admit that Li Changshou did have the intention to subdue Bai Ze and make the latter help him willingly. He naturally did not want to use Bai Ze as his advisor, nor did he need such an advisor…
Isn’t the Merit Golden Body about to be formed?
The Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation was around the corner. After the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, he had to consider retirement after saving the person he wanted to save. He wanted Bai Ze to be the Jade Emperor’s shadow advisor. Moreover, Bai Ze was always restrained by Ren School and would not do anything that would cause chaos. It could be considered Li Changshou’s final contribution to the Jade Emperor. Although he felt that it would not be easy for him to escape from the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou would be more confident when facing the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation if he could get Bai Ze to submit as soon as possible. At the very least, when they could trust each other, Li Changshou could bring out scattered plans for Bai Ze to review and let Bai Ze point out the flaws and imperfections in them for him. He could make full use of Bai Ze’s mystical abilities to avoid harm. He had to persist in the debate and the psychological attack.
Just like that…
He repeated it several times.
It went up to 180 rounds. About a year and a half later, Bai Ze finally regained his senses. After being fooled by Li Changshou again, he saw that Li Changshou was about to leave. Bai Ze stood up amidst the mess of cups and plates and shouted, “Water G.o.d! Can you give me the debate question in three days so that I can be prepared!?!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
If I let you prepare, won’t it be difficult for me next time?
However, he had already completed 70% of the mental attack. The difficulty had increased, which was within Li Changshou’s expectations. Li Changshou smiled calmly and took out a scroll.
Not only did he give him the next topic, but he also gave him the topics for the next hundred debates. That shocked Bai Ze and made him admire Li Changshou.
It was probably… Although I know that the Water G.o.d is scheming and cunning, I still feel that he is the only soulmate I have met since I was born.
In the dead of the night, Bai Ze sat in the pavilion and cooked two dishes that he liked. He took out the fine wine that Li Changshou had given him and held a bamboo slip. He began to read it carefully under the light of the spiritual pearl. Not long after, Bai Ze raised his wine gla.s.s and saluted the Little Qiong Peak. In the corner of the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou looked at the sutra in front of him and smiled…
“Brother!”
Ling’e floated over from outside the Pill Chamber with a bowl of soup porridge. “Are you thinking about your debate with Mr. Bai again?”. Li Changshou picked up the jade bowl and tasted it. He smiled and said, “I’ve brought you to listen from the side more than ten times. Do you have any thoughts?”
“Senior Brother, you are obsessed with Mr. Bai.”
“Huh?”
“Ahem, ahem! Mr. Bai is indeed an ancient and wise mighty figure. He can argue with you so well. He has been at a disadvantage so many times. Such wise people are really rare!” Li Changshou glared at Ling’e and laughed. “This debate is not serious. It’s just that Mr. Bai and I are compromising.” Ling’e blinked and asked in confusion, “How?” “He gave up on the thought of instigating me to become the Second Heavenly Emperor. I had to let go of my killing intent towards him and lure him into becoming a good friend. Only then could I let him come up with a plan.” Li Changshou ate a mouthful of porridge and praised, “What did you add in here? It has a novel taste. It’s not bad.” “Hehe, it’s the recipe that Mr. Bai gave me previously.” Ling’e smiled and said, “Senior Brother, do you like it?”
“It’s alright.”
“Then I’ll…”
“Focus on your cultivation. You are still far from immortality. Don’t be distracted.” Li Changshou said calmly, “When you get the Dao Fruit of Longevity, I will not stop you even if I have to cook and wash clothes every twenty-four hours.” Ling’e blushed and approached him with a smile. She wanted to ma.s.sage her senior brother’s back and act cute.
Li Changshou asked, “There less than ten years before we go out to train. Have you made sufficient preparations?”
