Chapter 415 - The Western Sects Scheme (1/2)
Chapter 415 The Western Sect’s Scheme
A white cloud flew out of the golden array formation and slowly rose into the starry sky. On the cloud, Li Changshou lowered his head and looked at his disciple-nephew, who was sitting cross-legged beside him. He looked at the pitiful expression on his face. He was trying his best to endure, but his eyes were still red. He also looked at his trembling shoulders and the swaying Dao Headband…
Li Changshou suddenly felt guilty as if he had done something wrong. It was a mysterious spiritual pearl. “Disciple-Nephew,” Li Changshou called warmly. Ling Zhuzi looked up weakly. There was a hint of helplessness in its eyes. “Aunt-Master Changgeng, I’m fine.” Li Changshou’s Dao heart almost melted on the spot. He hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. I’ll bring you to the Heavenly Courts. The living beings there are very interesting and gentle. Why don’t we make a bet?”
Ling Zhuzi said in a clear voice, “Uncle-Master, how should we make a bet? Master said that gambling is a bad habit. You have to have a firm Dao heart and be confident in handling things.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. In turn, he was taught a lesson by Ling Zhuzi! “Let’s put it another way.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When we go to the Heavenly Courts later, everyone will smile kindly when they see you. If that’s really the case, why don’t you agree to befriend a good friend in the Heavenly Courts?”
“Yes.” Ling Zhuzi nodded and agreed. “I will follow your arrangements, Uncle-Master.” Li Changshou smiled warmly and did not say anything else. He rode a cloud towards the Central Heaven Gate. On the way there, Li Changshou even flew half a round at the edge of the area controlled by the demons. When he returned, he was afraid that he would really be ambushed by the experts of the demon race, so he deliberately went to the Western Heavenly Gate above the AparaG.o.dānīya Continent.
The spiritual mountain did not dare to be brazen and make things difficult for him, a disciple of Ren School. It would not let anything happen to him near the spiritual mountain. Along the way, Li Changshou did not say much. He secretly observed Ling Zhuzi’s reaction and wanted to understand his entire personality as soon as possible. At that moment, Ling Zhuzi’s emotions were mostly filled with nervousness. After all, it had never left the Qianyuan Mountain after transforming. This was also his first time traveling “Uncle-Master Changgeng…”
“Huh?” Li Changshou lowered his head. Ling Zhuzi was looking up at him. There was a hint of helplessness in its eyes that were filled with spiritual energy. “Am I behaving abnormally? Master seems to be very troubled. He keeps saying that he wants me to become a man. Moreover, when Uncle-Master Yu Ding looks at me, she often looks at me with pity.”
“Hahahaha.” Li Changshou was amused by Ling Zhuzi. Ling Zhuzi frowned and looked at Li Changshou in confusion. “Uncle-Master Changgeng, what’s wrong?” “Nothing, nothing.” Li Changshou waved his hand and sat cross-legged on the cloud. The benevolent appearance of his white hair and white eyebrows made Ling Zhuzi feel closer to him. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your master has always said that you should be manly because he thinks that you’re too soft-hearted. Junior Brother Yu Ding does not pity you. He also thinks that you are too weak. Normally, men are the representation of masculinity, while women are the symbol of femininity. However, that is not absolute. Most people are like that. Senior Brother Taiyi is rather crude in this aspect. He did not tell you all that in time and only wanted you to be a man.Yin and Yang in the world are not absolute opposites.
They are not absolute.” Ling Zhuzi pursed his lips and pondered. Li Changshou added, “If you want your master to be happy, just change some of your habits.” Ling Zhuzi hurriedly said, “Uncle-Master, please enlighten me!” “It’s not convenient for me to talk to you today.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When we reach the Heavenly Courts later, I’ll introduce you to a few good friends. You can spend some time with them first. Find out what your master wants you to become.” Ling Zhuzi hesitated to speak. Li Changshou did not continue. He took out a sutra book and handed it to Ling Zhuzi to relieve his boredom on the way. Ling Zhuzi was an ancient spiritual pearl from the Jade Void Palace. Its cultivation level was at the Perfected Immortal realm, and it was already at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. It was still a distance away from the Golden Immortal realm.
However, the spiritual pearl had a deep foundation. Its greatest reliance was its pure and blessed essence soul. If it could become a Golden Immortal and train for hundreds of thousands of years, and become a Pure Fortune Golden Immortal like Yun Zhongzi, it could increase the luck of Chan School. Li Changshou’s imagination ran wild… In the original story of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, Jie School was famous for the tyrannical strength of the second generation disciples. On Chan School’s side, they were famous for fighting against the second generation disciples of Jie School. For example, the Perfected Lord Yang Jian, who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and had the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Position before entering the tribulation. In his previous life, after Ling Zhuzi entered the calamity, he used the essence soul of the spiritual pearl to combine it with the lotus flower body. He was the Great G.o.d of the three altars, Nezha.
After obtaining the treasures of Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, Shen Gongbao said, “Fellow Daoist, please wait.” Yin Jiao, Yin Hong, who jumped left and right and almost killed his master…
They were all rising talents of the Dao Sect. Indeed, there were many rising talents in Jie School. However, the G.o.ddess of Fire Spirit, Wen Zhong, and Yu Yuan were not as famous as Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi. Did the Saint choose to stand on the side of Chan School during the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation?
Li Changshou pondered carefully and felt helpless.
Why was it that he had already tacitly agreed that during the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, Chan and Jie would definitely go crazy… The Ten Absolute Arrays, the Nine-Turn Yellow River Array, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Arrays were the signature arrays of the upgraded battles… Li Changshou suddenly thought of something. Over the years, he had been paying attention to the development of the relations.h.i.+p between men and women of Jie School. He did not know how the Ten Absolute Arrays that the G.o.ddess of Golden Light, and the Heavenly Lord Qin Wan had been studying were doing. Would this become a small prediction for the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation? Li Changshou pondered for a while and laughed. The b.u.t.terfly had already fluttered so many times. At this moment, everything was still progressing towards the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. The power of the Heavenly Dao’s correction, or rather, the power of the world line, could not be underestimated. The frivolous senior who wanted to change the history of myths, had already become a little patch on the wheel of history. His priority was to survive. After all, he was dead, but there was nothing left… Ling Zhuzi suddenly asked softly, “Uncle-Master Changgeng, are there many living beings like me in this world?” Li Changshou thought for a while and said warmly, “Every living being is a unique individual. There’s no need to think about changing yourself to fit in. You have to think about making yourself more perfect and improving yourself. Living beings do not have to be too sharp or well-rounded. After all, being tactful is our business.” Ling Zhuzi blinked. “Ling Zhuzi doesn’t understand.” “In the future, use ‘I’ or ‘me’ when referring to yourself, don’t call yourself by your own name. That’s equivalent to exposing yourself,” Li Changshou said seriously. “This is the first little habit you have to change.” “Yes, Ling Zhuzi understands.” “Huh?”
“I understand…” “That’s more like it.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He looked at the Western Heavenly Gate in front of him and said, “Do you still remember the agreement? You can see if they’re all smiling at you.” Immediately, Ling Zhuzi perked up. He, who was originally afraid of strangers, took the initiative to observe the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were speechless. Logically speaking, the Water G.o.d had brought back a delicate-looking little fairy. The little fairy even sized him up with a clear and curious gaze. What expression could he have in response? He was just smiling in all ways! Halfway through, Ling Zhuzi could not help but tug at Li Changshou’s Daoist robe. Its eyes were filled with stars. “Aunt-Master, Uncle-Master, it’s really true! Everyone is smiling at me!” Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He held his horsetail whisk and brought Ling Zhuzi to his Water G.o.d Residence.
After competing with Bai Ze for so long, he was quite happy to suddenly trick the child… After returning to the Water G.o.d Residence, Li Changshou ordered the Heavenly Soldiers to tidy up a house and let the spiritual pearl stay there.
“Ling Zhuzi, stay here. You can tell the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals what you lack. I’m a civil servant in the Heavenly Courts. Everyone will give me some respect and I can go out for a stroll. In a few days, I will arrange for a few Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to spar with you in terms of Dharma spells and mystical abilities. You have to make some preparations first. You have to be careful when you attack later. Don’t hurt anyone.” “Okay!”
Ling Zhuzi’s essence, energy, and spirit were all rising. He was like a completely different person from when he was on the Qianyuan Mountain.
She, ahem.
He bowed to Li Changshou and said, “I understand. Uncle-Master, please whip me as much as you want on this cultivation journey!” Li Changshou almost blushed… What did Perfected Taiyi teach Ling Zhuzi!? Uh, perhaps my thoughts are too complicated… Now, everything is fine. Li Jing was in the Immortal Du Sect while Nezha was in the Water G.o.d Residence. If he could find Lady Yin now, he would be able to gather the main actors for the scene of the Chen Tang Custom. Nezha was the protagonist of this scene. The current Ao Bing was not even in a dragon egg. Mu Zha and Jin Zha did not have any scenes in this segment. Should I get to the bottom of this in advance? In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou looked at the map of the five continents in front of him and fell into a daze. He was mult.i.tasking while thinking about how to guide the show. On one side, among the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the Water G.o.d Residence, he looked for a few Heavenly Generals who had stronger masculine auras and had a heroic aura. He asked them to communicate more with Ling Zhuzi later.
Li Changshou gradually realized that in the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, the most important thing was to consider the trend of the Heavenly Dao. Take Nezha as an example. In the script of the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation that was set by the Heavenly Dao, how much of the tribulation and the consequences that Nezha had experienced would affect the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation and the Heavenly Dao?
If he a.n.a.lyzed it clearly, he would be able to do it…
In general, they had to ensure that Nezha’s combat power was enough to ensure that he became one of the regular members of the Chan School faction.
There was also the conflict between the Taiyi and the G.o.ddess of Stone. It might also become a spark that ignited the war between the two sects…
Based on the few times he had interacted with Perfected Taiyi, Li Changshou no longer doubted the level of Perfected Taiyi’s method of “striking first and gaining the upper hand” and the level of his “mouth cannon” and “mockery” skills. Unfortunately, he could not deliberately target Perfected Taiyi.
Li Changshou knew that he could not stand on the side of Chan School or Jie School. He was a disciple of Ren School, and he had to stand on the side that Teacher Taiqing wanted him to be in.
