Chapter 413 Such a Spiritual Bead
Li Changshou thought about it carefully for a few days and felt that Bai Ze’s theory was reasonable.
The main point was that Bai Ze was very certain that Li Changshou did not know how powerful Bai Ze’s mystical abilities were. It was not convenient for him to ask about Bai Ze’s background…
However, the debate had to continue. The clash of ideas could not stop.
To be safe, he had to finish the remaining questions.
After another three months, Li Changshou finally felt at ease with Bai Ze… about ten percent.
The debate between him and Bai Ze changed from once every three days to once every half a month. He reduced the frequency of him going to the Black Pool Peak to prevent Ling’e from suspecting something that she should not.
Li Changshou roughly told Bai Ze about Youqin Xuanya. Bai Ze did not hesitate and nodded happily.
According to Bai Ze, since he had already become the carriage driver of Ren School, he naturally had to listen to Li Changshou’s orders. Moreover, this matter could increase his reputation.
Although Bai Ze had been hiding in seclusion, he was very concerned about his reputation. In that case, Li Changshou was at ease and boldly handed the mission to… Ao Yi. The Heavenly Courts and the Dragon Palace had secretly sent people to spread the news in the various townhouses of the five continents. They promoted that the “Auspicious Beast Bai Ze” was a symbol of purity and justice. At the same time, they also offset the inherent impression of the “Ten Great Generals of Demons”.
Li Changshou personally drew the “Bai Ze Water Drinking Painting” and “Bai Ze Treading Painting” for Bai Ze. Bai Ze was quite surprised when he saw them.
“My main body is actually so… pleasing to the
eye?”
At that time, Li Changshou could only maintain a smile. Of course, he could not say that he had the Great Dao of painting.
The important thing was the composition and light effects!
At the same time, Li Changshou and Bai Ze worked together for the first time. They created the image of the female War G.o.d of the Heavenly Courts for Youqin Xuanya and designed the details of Youqin Xuanya ascending to the heavens.
Youqin Xuanya, who had been in seclusion recently to break through and consolidate her cultivation level, did not know that the team behind the scenes that had pushed her to become the Primordial World idol had already expanded.
Next, he had to wait for Bai Ze’s reputation to slowly rise…
In order to let Bai Ze appear more on screen, apart from the two portraits that had been circulated, Li Changshou was also thinking about finding a suitable time to let Bai Ze go out for a stroll.
When the arrangements were almost done, Li Changshou took the initiative to ask about Daoist Lu Ya.
Bai Ze hesitated for a while before telling Li Changshou something important.
“Water G.o.d, don’t force Lu to a dead end. He has a secret treasure in his hand. It’s called the Seven Arrows Book.”
Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said, “Is this treasure more powerful than his’ please turn around ‘treasure?”.
“That’s right.” Bai Ze looked serious and nodded slowly. “Excluding the Saints, there will definitely not be more than ten living beings in the Primordial World who know the origins of this treasure. The Seven Arrows Book can kill the Zenith Heaven in an invisible manner. The price of refining it is very high. It is extremely vicious and could be said to be harmful to oneself. However, as long as a wisp of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal’s essence soul is trapped on the straw man, he can wors.h.i.+p it every day and shoot arrows at it. Then, the Zenith Heaven will be powerless to resist and turn into blood…”
Bai Ze paused and looked at the calm smile on Li Changshou’s face. He was stunned at first, but he soon understood.
“The Water G.o.d already knows?”
“How can I know such a secret?”
Li Changshou’s smile gradually disappeared. He said calmly, “From the looks of it, we really have to get rid of this Lu Ya first. Mr. Bai, this Seven Arrows Book is so powerful. Is there any way to avoid it?”
“According to what I know, there is no way to avoid it, unless we find the place where the other party casts the curse and destroy the straw doll.”
Bai Ze pondered for a while and said, “However, as long as I activate the Seven Arrows Book, I will need to consume luck and merit. With the acc.u.mulation of merit of the Water G.o.d, I wonder if the Seven Arrows Book can be used. After all, you have to be careful. Moreover, although I know that I shouldn’t say that, Lu Ya is still my nephew. I want to plead for him.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and shook his head slowly.
“I can’t make the decision on this matter. If I can destroy the Seven Arrows Book and not do anything extreme in the future, I can plead for mercy for Mr. Bai and give him a way out on behalf of the Jade Emperor. However, if he doesn’t leave…”
“Thank you, Water G.o.d.” Bai Ze smiled bitterly. “Lu Ya’s temperament is far inferior to his father’s. He will probably not survive.”
I hope so.
Li Changshou answered in his heart and changed the topic.
No matter how strong Bai Ze was, he could not deduce the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. He could not deduce how active Lu Ya would be in the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.
Li Changshou did not have any confidence in taking Lu Xiong’s life. He could only wait for an opportunity to make a move and wait for Lu Xiong to make a mistake during the “Heavenly Demon Confrontation”.
Every move that the Heavenly Courts made against the demons actually contained a deeper meaning.
“Mr. Bai.” Li Changshou looked at the middle-aged Daoist who was glowing in front of him. “Why don’t you show your culinary skills today? I’ll invite the Sect Leader and an elder who has taken care of me in the sect to come over and drink and chat with me.”
Bai Ze said happily, “Alright! I have to show my skills this time!”
After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the kitchen that was growing in size. The entire auspicious beast was in high spirits.
Li Changshou rode a cloud to Pill Tripod Peak and invited Old Master Wan Linyun to attend the banquet.
Elder Wan Linyun was not far from the Golden Immortal Tribulation now. He should be able to reach the Golden Immortal Tribulation in one to two hundred years. It was also good to be tainted by the auspicious beast aura…
Of course, he could not personally invite the Sect Leader. After all, Li Changshou was only an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. One jade token was enough.
An hour later, the few of them gathered on the Black Pool Peak.
Li Changshou and Old Master Wan Linyun discussed the Dao of alchemy and poison during the banquet held by Bai Ze and Ling’e.
Sect Leader Ji Wuyou took the initiative to volunteer. He put on the ap.r.o.n that Li Changshou had given Bai Ze and made a move in the kitchen. Bai Ze even found him clumsy…
If the disciples of the Immortal Du Sect saw that, their jaws would probably drop.
If the experts of the demon race who were searching for Bai Ze saw that scene, they might go crazy…
In a hidden palace in the mountains at the edge of the North Continent, Daoist Lu Ya had his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth in front of the throne on the platform. There were more than ten legendary demons sitting on the platform, and most of them had unfriendly expressions.
Below the platform, a few demon kings knelt in the hall while trembling…
“Tras.h.!.+”
At the end of the platform, a snake-like male demon raised his sharp and ear-piercing voice and cursed at the young demon kings. “Where did the rumors about Marshal Bai Ze come from? Tens of thousands of little demons were released to search for information but all you have to say is you don’t know? It seems that you are used to slacking. I have to teach you!”
The demon kings hurriedly shouted, “Spare us! Please spare us, Patriarch!”
“There’s no need to ask about the origins of the rumors.” An old demon with a goat head stroked his beard and smiled. “In my opinion, someone must have wanted to lure Marshal Bai Ze out.”
Lu Ya frowned and sat back on his throne. He raised his hand and waved at the demon kings below to send them away.
A few old demons made a move at the same time and isolated the hall from the outside world.
Lu Ya said in a low voice, “Marshal Bai Ze has most likely left the five continents. He has no intention of interfering in this matter. It’s already not easy for him to give us a plan.”
“Your Highness!”
The legendary Elder Lu Gong of the demon race sat in the chair and cupped his hands. He asked, “Previously, you went to look for Marshal Bai Ze. Marshal Bai Ze advised us to take advantage of the Heavenly Courts’ weakness to seek revenge and then use the opportunity to repel the Heavenly Soldiers and bargain with the Heavenly Courts… Did Marshal Bai Ze say how to deal with the current situation? Not only did the Heavenly Courts not send troops, they even used words to destroy our morale. We clenched our fists, but we could not fight back. We suspect that Elder Moon of the Heavenly Courts is also causing trouble!”
A white bear harrumphed and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “In the past half a year, there have been three couples among our grandchildren. They have all fallen out because of other demons! I’m puzzled. Why would a male demon from the Fox Clan take a liking to my granddaughter’s ten-feet-tall bear form? He’s still so loyal and devoted…”
“Perhaps they’ve taken a liking to each other.”
“No, no. This matter is quite abnormal. Many young and old couples have fallen out.”
An old demon with a crocodile head finally reacted. “Hahahaha! Ten feet tall and wide!”
“Huh?” The old white bear frowned.
“Ahem, I remember something I’m happy about.”
“You’re clearly laughing at our bear race!”
The white bear stood up. His mountain-like body emitted surging demonic aura!
“Today, I’ll let you know what the power of a bear is!”
“You’re the fis.h.!.+ Your entire family is fis.h.!.+ I’m much more realistic than fish. I’m not afraid of you!”
“Enough!”
Lu Ya shouted in a low voice, and a huge purple gourd appeared in his hand.
The two old demons, who were about to fight, instantly quietened down. They snorted and returned to their seats.
The corners of Lu Ya’s mouth twitched slightly as he said calmly, “Continue to send people to search for the source of the rumors regarding Marshal Bai Ze. Don’t cause trouble. We both know that the Heavenly Courts have the support of the Saint. As long as we don’t take the initiative to attack the Heavenly Gate, it’s fine to kill some Heavenly Soldiers. Everyone, please restrain yourself during this critical period. What we want is for the Heavenly Courts to acknowledge the status of the demons in the Primordial World. If we fight with the Heavenly Courts, we will only die. Also, continue to absorb the peripheral demon kings that have nothing to do with the ancient bloodline. The more the better. When the time comes, we will have to use them to appease the Heavenly Courts.”
The dozen old demons stood up at the same time and bowed to Lu Ya.
“Yes, Lord!”
“Ah.” Lu Ya sighed. At that moment, his handsome face was filled with helplessness.
“If Marshal Bai Ze can help us, why should we worry… Forget it. Marshal Bai Ze has been in seclusion for many years and is living a carefree life. He must be living a carefree life in the clouds.”
Duke Lu hurriedly said, “We will naturally do our best to be at your command!”
“I’m very glad to have you guys.”
Lu Ya smiled and said. He kept the curses in his heart, his eyes still filled with worry.
