Chapter 437 - Everything Is Equal!

My Senior Brother is Too Steady

437 Everything Is Equal!

Fighting, fighting, fighting…

The Cosmic Ruler controlled the universe and used the escape technique to its maximum. He adjusted his mind and returned to his main body. He tried his best to deduce the safest method to save people.

Before the surrounding mighty figures of the demon race rushed over, they would defeat the scorpion spirit and the three-headed demonic tiger in front of them and save their master and General Dongmu!

Master!

As the figures intertwined and the Cosmic Ruler trembled, Li Changshou was shocked.

What happened to me?

His Dao heart trembled continuously. Li Changshou did not stop, but he took the initiative to retreat hundreds of feet beside the demonic tiger.

The Cosmic Ruler swayed gently and flickered. It left the pure-white armor-wearing scorpion essence far behind.

Li Changshou swooped forward, and the lightning in his palm bloomed. Lightning curtains filled the sky and smashed towards the demonic tiger from all directions. The demonic tiger’s wings surged with rays of blood light, wrapping itself in the sanguine light to block the lightning. Lightning Escape! Li Changshou entered the lightning and charged at the huge demonic tiger again with the Cosmic Ruler.

However, his Dao heart was in a huge dilemma. Why did he… behave recklessly?

His master had to be saved. However, it was not the safest and most obvious choice for him to go to the North Continent alone. At that moment, the intense battle would put his master in danger

If it were his usual self, he would have found a few experts to travel with him even if it was not to “divert” attention and pressurize the demons…

Master Zhao and Fairy Yun Xiao were on the list of people to deal with the calamity. If he did not want them to attack, he could also look for experts like Perfected Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding, who were originally fine…

At most, he would give them a huge reward. How could they reject the request of the disciples of the Saint of Ren School?

Why did I get rid of that thought because of Master Zhao and Fairy Yun Xiao when I asked for help?

There’s a problem…

The Shang Tribe had risen, the calamity had suddenly descended, and his master had suddenly gone out. When he stopped his master, he suddenly felt disapproving and complacent. At that time, the thought in his heart was to go to the Heavenly Courts.

Just… that?

What happened to me?

In the lightning, the Cosmic Ruler kept attacking. The attack of the ancient scorpion behind him was completely left behind by Li Changshou’s escape technique.

In the intense battle, Li Changshou was thinking, reflecting, and searching for the source of his abnormality.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he had already caught up to this place. He was about to be surrounded by the ancient mighty figures of the demon race. This was an unchangeable situation.

He seemed to have been affected by something.

At that moment, the Primordial Spirit of the Dao Body was fighting with the mighty figures of the demon race. However, in the depths of his mind, he was fighting against an unknown existence. Li Changshou was extremely vigilant! The slightly disapproving voice of Saint Nuwa seemed to be lingering in his heart.

“That person has become an indispensable part of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao.”

Heavenly Dao, Calamity Luck, frivolous senior… Suddenly, Li Changshou thought of Fairy Yun Xiao. That was something he knew better. She was gentle and kind, and was full of respect for the Saint. However, during the Great Tribulation, she still went down and attacked the Saint together with her two sisters.

The living beings of the world were all in the Heavenly Dao.

There were 50 Great Daos and 49 Heavenly Evolution. The teachings of Jie School were to intercept a chance of survival.

A chance…

An opportunity to survive…

In the intense battle, Li Changshou completely understood!

His eyelids had twitched previously, but it was not because he had sensed the tribulation luck. His cultivation level was far inferior to Bai Ze’s. Bai Ze still needed to deduce to sense the tribulation. How could he sense it in advance?

At that time, his eyelids twitched and he felt a hint of danger in his heart because the Heavenly Dao had attacked him!

Or rather, the Heavenly Dao wanted him to do something in the Great Tribulation!

My head hurts.

At that moment, he seemed to be fighting with the mighty figures of the demon race. In fact, he was fighting against the Great Tribulation. Although the battle was not intense, from that perspective…

There was an 80% chance that he could not save General Dongmu.

No, he could not be so sure. It was possible that he had an idea after being disturbed by the calamity.

No matter how low the possibility of Master being in danger was, he could not ignore that possibility.

There was also a possibility that the Heavenly Dao had long discovered that he was going to find someone in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. He would use his master as a catalyst and receive the hands of the demons to destroy him!

At that moment, his bottom line was to protect himself and save his master. He had to protect that bottom line before thinking about saving General Dongmu.

Otherwise, no one could save him.

However, how could he save him?

He had to fight against the Great Tribulation. No, that’s not right. The Great Tribulation was driven by the Heavenly Dao. This was something that he could not resist. If he slashed it, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot…

If he wanted to compete with the power that was affecting him, he had to see the bottom line of the Great Tribulation and the “flexible space”. From this perspective, he had to consider the problem and find a solution.

Fortunately…

He had already made preparations. When he was plotting against the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he had already considered such a situation.

He remembered the hundreds of times he had taught Ling’e.

“The so-called trump card is a method to reverse the situation at the crucial moment.”

He never lacked such methods!

Whoosh…

An ear-piercing howl exploded beside his ears! When Li Changshou released the lightning, the Connate numinous treasure silver-white shuttle appeared again and attacked Li Changshou.

Li Changshou was lying on his back. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda above his head emitted seven-colored rays of light. The Mysterious Yellow aura wrapped around Li Changshou tightly.

The Pagoda Master’s carefree voice sounded in Li Changshou’s heart.

“Little Disciple, do whatever you want. If you can wake up in time and become Master’s disciple, this will be the final trial before you become Master’s disciple.”

Clearly, the Pagoda Master was reminding himself to confirm his thoughts.

Thank you, Pagoda Master!

Li Changshou took a deep breath and ignored the shuttle that was attacking him from the side. He closed his eyes.

The mental world suddenly pressed the pause button.

The “instant” of the river of time was stretching endlessly in Li Changshou’s heart.

The Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence, the Jade Emperor’s and Queen Mother’s tribulation, the Shang Tribe, the various parts of the Sea God Temple, the Little Qiong Peak, the surroundings of the mountain gate, the vicinity of the Four Seas’ Dragon Palace, the Netherworld’s Fengdu City, the edge of the sea of blood, the ends of the world, and the border of the North Continent…

Fairy Yun Xiao’s pavilion, Lingle’s sleeve, and Youqin Xuanya’s dressing table…

All the paper effigies instantly stopped the fluctuations of their essence soul!

Coincidentally, the two Golden Immortal realm paper effigies in the demonic tiger’s mouth had a very weak mental connection with Li Changshou. At that moment, it did not affect Li Changshou’s use of that… mystical ability.

It could not be considered a mystical ability. However, it was a little technique that Li Changshou had developed in order to deal with such a tribulation.

In the spirit platform, Li Changshou seemed to have fallen into a peaceful world. Figures that originated from him appeared in all directions, be it near or far, high or low…

Happiness, anger, sorrow, joy. Countless voices were overlapping and intertwining, turning into sutras that echoed in Li Changshou’s Dao heart!

His mind was one.

There is nothing but me.

The Dao is eternal.

Silence.

A speck of blue light bloomed from the forehead of Li Changshou’s essence soul. It instantly engulfed the various parts of the spirit platform, making his Dao heart extremely calm and peaceful.

Trump card: Clear Dao Heart!

He saw it!

Outside the blue light, Li Changshou saw a wisp of black gas that was like spider silk stuck to his Dao heart and the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting.

That was the image of the Tribulation Luck in his mind.

However, Li Changshou did not feel any emotions. He calmly opened his eyes. At that moment, he… had no emotions.

Li Changshou activated his mystical ability and cleared his Dao heart. The world in his eyes suddenly changed. The silver-white shuttle that was originally shooting over at an extremely fast speed slowed down in his senses…

His immortal senses had already captured the mighty figures of the demon race who were rushing there and were about to rush over. At that moment, they turned into colorful spots of light under the isolation of the miasma. In a few breaths’ time, they would rush over.

That was the opportunity to decide the victory!

Li Changshou’s Clear Dao heart circulated. He deduced seven possibilities, eight methods, and nine plans. Then, he captured the most stable plan. The Cosmic Ruler tapped gently. In front of Li Changshou’s face and the aura of the Mysterious Yellow, a three-feet hole appeared in the universe.

Mystical Power: Minor Void Transference

With the help of the Connate numinous treasure, the Cosmic Ruler, Li Changshou’s movement technique was so smooth!

Swoosh!

The silver-white shuttle appeared out of thin air in front of the demon tiger’s huge head. According to Li Changshou’s deduction, the shuttle was extremely fast. The reason why the time between the Cosmic Shackles and the release of poison was extremely short was very likely because the two “functions” had been refined by the ancient scorpion into one.

Everything in the world was balanced. Apart from Connate Cardinal treasures, it was impossible for them to be perfect. Treasures were like that, and so were the “functions” of treasures.

The refinement process was indeed smooth, but there was an absolute weakness – He could not stop the treasure from exploding.

At that moment!

The silver-white shuttle was shifted to the front of the demonic tiger by Li Changshou and the Cosmic Ruler. It erupted with white light that filled the sky and instantly retracted. In a flash, it released a lethal poison that could easily paralyze Golden Immortals…

The poison should have come from the scorpion essence itself, but that was not important.

After Li Changshou used Minor Transference, his body flashed again. He tried his best to distance himself from the scorpion spirit. Two streams of light shot out from his sleeves and rushed into the sky.

The paper effigies wrapped in streams of light huffed in unison. More streams of light appeared from the backpack on their backs…

It was like fireworks during a festival. They exploded all over the sky!

They cleared his Dao heart and filled his heart! Dozens of paper effigies with backpacks on their backs turned into dozens of figures. They formed three or four teams and quickly gathered their immortal powers. They ignited the paper effigies that were stuck to the eight paper effigies and activated the eight sets of Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Array!

Did he really think that he, Li Changshou, would not do anything after XX Year? Thank you, Goddess, for giving me an ordinary Connate spiritual tree!

The Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Array was just to stop the enemy. Li Changshou’s Clear Dao heart divided 99% of his attention to control the paper effigy to explode. However, the remaining portion of his attention was enough to support the battle.

He looked at the demonic tiger again!

The shuttle exploded, and the heads of the three demonic tigers in the middle immediately hung down. A large portion of their skin was burned by the poison, and their bodies trembled violently.

The right head roared in pain and shouted. Although it had three heads, it did not have three Essence Souls. At that moment, it was almost seriously injured by its companion’s Dharma treasure!

Li Changshou held the Cosmic Ruler and rushed over. He left behind a series of afterimages, as if he had a clone technique. At the same time, he appeared on the demonic tiger’s abdomen, head, back, and tail…

The Cosmic Ruler kept pressing forward. Dozens of “black holes” appeared quietly. The universe distorted. The huge body of the demonic tiger was stretched and compressed, twisting like a long snake.

At this moment!

In the distance, eight shining light balls appeared in the sky. Eight spiritual explosions erupted at the same time, temporarily blocking the mighty figures of the demon race who were rushing to help!

Nearby…

The left eye of the demonic tiger’s left head suddenly widened, filled with horror.

The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda on Li Changshou’s head and the Cosmic Ruler in his hand appeared in front of the demonic tiger’s left head. The Cosmic Ruler emitted blue streams of light and slashed at the demonic tiger’s neck.

The heavy ruler had no edge, but it could sever the universe!

“Open!”

Li Changshou shouted loudly. The immortal power in his body surged into the Cosmic Ruler. The Cosmic Ruler, which had always been elegant and gentle when quarreling, exploded in Li Changshou’s heart.

The demonic tiger’s left head and neck suddenly split open. The “wound” was the black hole of the universe!

The scorpion essence rushed over from behind. Li Changshou’s figure flashed and easily dodged the scorpion essence’s attack. Bolts of lightning shot out from his hand and smashed towards the demonic tiger’s left head, which was about to fall.

He was just one step away… from saving his Master and fishing out General Dongmu.

The lightning avoided the demonic tiger’s mouth. Li Changshou used the Lightning Escape and rushed forward. In an instant, he would appear beside the tiger’s closed mouth. He would use his left hand to shatter the demonic tiger’s teeth and save his master and General Dongmu!

His Dao heart trembled slightly. The Pagoda Master warned him to be careful.

Behind him, the voice that reached his ears through the resonance of the universe was filled with anger and hatred!

“Please, Treasure, turn around!”

A ray of white light quickly slashed into the lightning!

A moment ago.

Bai Ze sped through the clouds and fog. Soon, he arrived at the border between the East Continent and the North Continent. He barged into the thick miasma of the North Continent.

The current him… was panicking.

When he received Li Changshou’s voice transmission, saying that his master and General Dongmu were being held hostage by the demons, Bai Ze’s heart skipped a beat. The thought that came to his mind was extremely realistic.

Would the Water God think that he was a traitor?

When he sensed Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan’s fate, he really felt that it was a blessing for him!

Moreover, it was a huge opportunity that would allow him to soar into the sky and be as fortunate as the East Ocean!

He inhaled sharply…

Could it be that the life of a Turbid Immortal is weak and cannot bear it?

Or is it that my mystical ability is too deeply affected by the heavenly secrets and I have come to the opposite conclusion?

That should not be possible!

Previously, he had relied on “seeking luck and avoiding calamity” to avoid the great calamity. He had escaped unscathed from the great calamity.

Bai Ze sighed softly in his heart.

Initially, when he looked at the Water God from afar, he felt that the Water God was intelligent, scheming, ruthless, and good at balance. He was a top-notch “Second Heavenly Emperor”.

However, after walking to the Water God’s side and interacting with him for a long time, he realized…

This fellow’s heart was a little dirty, but he was not completely ruthless. At the very least, he was rather friendly to humans, and his friends.

The Water God’s current position in the Dao Sect was actually a little awkward.

He was a good seedling that the Grand Pure One had taken a liking to. He was just short of being a disciple of the Great Pure One.

However, the awkward thing was that the Water God had a master, Qi Yuan, who had raised him since he was young. Qi Yuan was considered the weakest immortal, a Turbid Immortal.

Moreover, with the Water God around, he might be the strongest Turbid Immortal.

Generally speaking, ordinary cultivators like Qi Yuan would never be able to nurture a disciple like the Water God.

Lingle was even more so. She was completely nurtured by the Water God. Her style of doing things gradually became similar to her senior brother’s.

The Water God already had a master. Now that he was accepted as a disciple by the Grand Pure One, if this matter were to spread…

Wow, the strongest Saint is fighting with a Turbid Immortal for a disciple?

Although no one dared to criticize him, that was indeed the case.

According to Bai Ze’s understanding of the Water God, the Water God should have a clone kneeling in front of the Saint’s portrait. However, the Saint would not directly save a Turbid Immortal. That was not reasonable…

No matter how much he pampered her, he could not do that.

At that moment, the Water God was a little anxious. He rushed to the North Continent alone. There was a group of ancient demons hiding there. A few of them were followers of the Demon God back then. Their strength was not inferior to the ten demon generals.

Although the Water God was protected by the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, based on the battle between the Water God and Lu Ya, the Water God’s cultivation level should not have reached the Zenith Heaven realm. If he was attacked by the other party, he would be in trouble.

It was very easy to become a mountain that could not be broken but could not be moved.

Boom! Boom!

The world was like a drum, and the myriad of poisons were roaring madly.

The living beings in the miasma cloud were fleeing frantically. The fear of living beings was placed in Bai Ze’s heart.

Within a radius of 50,000 kilometers in front of him, the miasma cloud in the North Continent, which had not dissipated for many years, was as thick as a mountain. At that moment, it was like an ocean in a storm. It kept surging and shaking!

Bai Ze had already transformed into his main body. Layers of water-colored ripples circulated in his eyes, and the three long feathers on his head flickered with faint light. He saw the core of the turmoil.

That place was originally the place with the richest miasma in the North Continent, but now…

The sky and the earth were clear!

Under the blue sky, the light of the sun was a little blinding. There were layers of “cloud rings” in the sky. Sixteen huge demon beasts charged into the gap in the miasma cloud. And inside…

Bai Ze’s pupils constricted. He happened to see Li Changshou, who had used the Lightning Escape, being struck by lightning by a ray of white light. He saw the head of the tiger demon that was less than 1,000 feet away from Li Changshou…

A Golden Crow surrounded by white flames pierced through the tiger demon’s head with a sonic boom and layers of creases!

“Lu Ya, don’t you dare.”

Li Changshou shouted coldly and pounced downwards. However, a huge seal smashed towards the tiger demon’s head. In the blink of an eye, it became thousands of feet tall and forced Li Changshou to fly away.

Demon God Seal!

“Hahahahaha!”

Daoist Lu Ya’s delighted and smug laughter sounded from behind the seal. Lu Ya’s Golden Crow Claw forcefully grabbed the unconscious and seriously injured General Dongmu.

As he looked at the two paper effigies, a murderous glint flashed in Lu Ya’s eyes. A crazy desire to destroy appeared in his Dao heart.

After opening his mouth, Lu Ya’s tongue of fire brewed an extremely powerful True Sun Flame! Li Changshou’s eyes widened. The Cosmic Ruler smashed onto the seal of the Demon God. Although he could not unleash the true power of the Cosmic Ruler due to his cultivation realm, he could barely lift the seal.

He saw Lu Ya’s main body, the three-legged Golden Crow, opening its mouth to aim at his two… paper effigies who had just regained their connection but could not move!

Lu Ya’s bird-like eyes reflected Li Changshou’s figure, filled with mockery.

Lu Ya should not know what was in the sleeves of the two paper effigies…

It was just a moment, just a breath!

Bai Ze, who was in the distance, seemed to have thought of something. He rushed forward frantically, and his voice exploded beside Lu Ya’s ear through his immortal senses.

He was actually so anxious and flustered. “Stop! Even if you kill General Dongmu, don’t touch those two incarnations…”

Huff…

White flames erupted, and a paper effigy made a forceful tossing motion. In the shortest time possible, it used the most clear judgment to throw out the beast skin bag…

However, the True Flames of the Sun came too quickly. Just a shallow flame flower wrapped around the Hundred Spirit Beast skin and licked it.

An old Daoist priest appeared…

Turbid Immortal realm, Perfected Immortal realm…

Rays of light surged out of the old Daoist priest’s body. It was a protective numinous treasure that Li Changshou had left for his master, but it had been broken by the True Flames of the Sun.

The ‘human’ paper effigy flew out of the old Daoist priest’s sleeve. It only released immortal power before it was defeated by the flames.

In the blink of an eye, the old Daoist priest was wrapped in the True Flames of the Sun. He burned faster than the paper effigy…

After all, that was the essence mystical ability of the Golden Crow Clan.

However, the backup plans that Li Changshou had left behind had given his master an additional opportunity to speak.

The old Daoist priest was stunned at first. He looked up and saw Li Changshou rushing over frantically. He was less than 100 feet away from him. He ignored the pain in his body and the fear that he was about to be destroyed. He only shouted anxiously, “Go! Don’t go over… Come…”

The flames engulfed the old Daoist priest’s face and tore his essence soul. The extremely high temperature incinerated the old Daoist priest’s fragile Dao Body.

Li Changshou pounced and missed. He grabbed a handful of ashes with his left hand…

Master…

Master…

It was blank and silent.

Li Changshou stood there in a daze. Due to the fact that his Clear Dao heart had suppressed the seven emotions and six desires, images kept circling in his heart…

A tear slowly rolled down from the corner of his eye.

There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

It was as if a knife was sliding and cutting in his heart…

As if he had woken up from a dream, Li Changshou looked at Lu Ya, who had already flown into the distance. He saw the huge demonic beasts surrounding him, their voices trembling…

“Y-you killed him?”

Lu Ya frowned and said calmly, “Yes, so what…”

“You killed him.”

Li Changshou closed his eyes and slowly exhaled. He opened his eyes, which were bloodshot and filled with anger that Lu Ya could not understand.

Bai Ze, who was flying over from afar, subconsciously stopped a thousand kilometers away.

It was dangerous. It was extremely dangerous! Bai Ze’s hair stood on end. He used his mystical abilities to send a warning. Then, he smiled bitterly and closed his eyes.

The demons were completely finished.

“You killed him!” Li Changshou’s voice became extremely deep. Just as Lu Ya was about to say something, he saw divine light surging around Li Changshou’s body. A painting slowly appeared behind him.

The painting opened, and the world suddenly turned dim!

The sun, moon, and stars appeared in the painting. It was a bustling mortal world. There were continuous immortal mountains, quiet clouds, and towering palaces.

It was just a six-foot-long painting. There seemed to be only clouds and mist on it. However, in the clouds, there were living beings, Heaven and Earth, and the connection between all living beings and all living beings. Humans, gods, ghosts, demonic spirits, and demons. The painting swayed gently. A vast, obscure, complicated, and extremely simple Dao rune swept Lu Ya and the sixteen ancient demons, who were still hesitating about whether to try and destroy the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, into it. In an instant, Li Changshou lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. A faint glow appeared on his body.

He ignited the power of his essence soul. It was just like how Qi Refinement cultivators could only ignite the power of their essence souls when they were fighting for their lives. They were destined to burn the power of their essence souls because their essence energy was greatly damaged. Trump card: Dao.

Lu Ya.

I shouldn’t have tried to be stable with you a few times. I shouldn’t have thought that you are one of the Saviors of the Great Tribulation and have the protection of the Heavenly Dao. I shouldn’t have waited for so long… Suddenly, Li Changshou raised his left hand. There was a faint glow in his palm.

That cold, empty, and emotionless voice echoed everywhere.

“Everything is balanced.” A ray of black light appeared behind Li Changshou and disappeared. It was as if the power of the Heavenly Dao had appeared strangely. However, it was completely different from the power of the Heavenly Dao. It enveloped the sixteen demonic beasts and Lu Ya.

In an instant, the demonic beasts seemed to have been sealed. Their bodies suddenly shrank, and more than half of their cultivation realm disappeared!

Lu Ya transformed into his human form and trembled. He regained his youthful appearance and looked at Li Changshou in shock… However, following that, the shock disappeared. He threw General Dongmu far away and, like the demonic beasts beside him, he fell into endless anger. His eyes were filled with killing intent and he almost wanted to devour Li Changshou.

That was the anger that Li Changshou had given them!

The disguise on Li Changshou’s face disappeared and he returned to his original appearance as a young Daoist.

Crack, crack, crack… A faint shattering sound came from Li Changshou’s body. He stood in the air, his smile filled with bitterness.

Master, you don’t know what Dao I have achieved.

Master, you don’t know…

Li Changshou raised his hand and tapped his chest. Wisps of colorful Dao runes condensed into a pitch-black, spiderweb-like Tribulation Luck and gently tapped the ground.

A wisp of black Qi wrapped around Lu Ya’s essence soul, making him even angrier.

His Clear Dao heart shattered.

“Attract the calamity to me and bring the calamity to

you.”

Lu Ya.

Perhaps in the past, they would not rest until one of them was dead. It was because of their position, benefits, and prevention.

Today, however, I am your tribulation!

The treasure map rustled as the water-blue Dao runes continuously washed over the world. Lu Chong and the sixteen experts roared and pounced at Li Changshou like crazy. Li Changshou’s long hair danced in the wind, and his Daoist robe parted. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda sank to the top of his head and covered his essence soul. His left eye was icy blue because of the Dao, and his right eye was blood-red because of the killing intent that he could not suppress. The Da Yu Hydrology Diagram appeared.

The Water God’s Treasure, the Soap Martial Banner, appeared.

He held the Cosmic Ruler and broke the sky with a single step!

“Die!”

Suddenly, a huge hand that covered the sky appeared in the southwest direction and grabbed at Li Changshou’s Dao runes.

Another soft sigh floated in the sky. In the sky, an old Daoist priest sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion and revealed his figure. There was the image of fire and water under the meditation cushion.

The old Daoist priest’s face was haggard and he did not seem to have any Dao Attainment. His eyes were listless. When he raised his left hand, his wide sleeve fluttered in the wind and he flicked his fingertips.

The huge hand that covered the sky and covered the sky, which was thousands of kilometers in diameter, collapsed in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

The old Daoist priest spoke with some effort. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the huge hand. His faint voice was shocking…

“Get lost.”

In the southwest, the old Daoist priest, who was holding the treasure tree, trembled. However, he did not dare to look at the old Daoist priest in the sky. He lowered his head and said, “Senior Brother, sorry.”

Then, he turned around and disappeared.

The old Daoist priest above the Nine Heavens did not say anything else. He lowered his head and looked at the battle below.

Everything in the world seemed to have passed through the old Daoist priest’s eyes. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed to have nothing to do with him. He sat there and was the Dao. A single strand of hair could allow him to deduce boundless true intent.

The old Daoist priest did not bother about it. He watched quietly as Li Changshou, who was below, smashed the demonic beast’s head with the Cosmic Ruler like a maniac and tore the demonic beast’s wings with one hand…

When the demon beasts fell into the Dao runes, they were enraged.

That was Li Changshou’s Dao. It was born from the Dao of Taiji and was called the balance of all living things. When the Art of Equalization was used, he could pull powerful enemies into the same cultivation realm as him. Everything could be balanced. Everything would be decided by the ruler of this “domain” whether or not to be balanced.

That Dao had yet to be perfected. Otherwise, Li Changshou would have entered the Zenith Heaven realm.

In fact, that Dao had yet to be perfected. Li Changshou had temporarily obtained the strength to activate that Dao by burning his essence soul. If he burned his essence soul for too long, it would definitely affect his cultivation.

In the sky, the old Daoist priest flicked his finger again. The seven or eight ferocious demonic beasts stopped in their tracks. Wisps of Heaven Earth aura suddenly erupted from the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. The seven or eight demonic beasts were instantly crushed by the Mysterious Yellow aura.

Li Changshou pounced at Lu Ya. The latter tried his best to say, “Treasure, please turn around.” However, a ray of blue light shot over. The huge gourd seemed to be ineffective and was trembling slightly.

Li Changshou lowered his head and spat out two mouthfuls of blood. He had temporarily “balanced” such a powerful Dharma treasure and was using a tattered Dharma treasure in his hand.

The price was that his essence soul was injured, but it was worth it!

Li Changshou threw out the Cosmic Ruler. Lu Ya hurriedly transformed into a three-legged Golden Crow, but he was struck down by the Cosmic Ruler. Li Changshou pounced forward like a maniac. He ignored the eruption of the True Flames of the Sun that had been weakened and pressed down on the Golden Crow’s neck. He raised his left hand high and grabbed the Cosmic Ruler again. He smashed it at the Golden Crow…

The Cosmic Ruler fell like rain!

At that moment, a beautiful figure appeared in the sky. A moment ago, she was still tens of thousands of kilometers away. She took a step forward and appeared beside the old Daoist priest.

The woman’s beauty was unparalleled. Her face was pure and holy. There was a solemn expression in her gentleness. Golden light flickered around her.

She arrived in front of the old Daoist priest and bowed slightly.

“Senior Brother.”

The old Daoist priest kept watching the situation below and said calmly, “There’s no need to plead.”

The woman smiled helplessly and waited quietly on the cloud. She did not look down.

In the world, the wind was howling, and the poisonous insects were wailing…

He waited for the young Daoist below to tear the Golden Crow apart. Then, he carried the Golden Crow’s mangled head and staggered in the air, returning to the place where the Turbid Immortal had dissipated.

The Dao runes that filled the 500-kilometer radius floated back and entered Li Changshou’s body. Li Changshou bent his legs and knelt down weakly. The weak flames on his body were extinguished, and he closed his eyes.

“Changshou, I don’t have any other thoughts now. You and your junior sister should be fine. I’ll go to the Heavenly Courts to pave the way for you.”

“Bastard! That’s what you taught your junior sister! How can she be considered a Qi Refinement cultivator of our generation if she can’t be righteous!?!”

“Run! Run again! Come back!”

“Disciple, you have been in the sect for more than nine years. I have decided to give you a Daoist name. Your name, Changshou, is too tacky. How about you be called carefree in the future? Is that tackier? What about the cranes in the clouds? White cranes in the clouds, don’t you want to fly on a crane?” “Good disciple, I will bring you to the Immortal Du Sect today. From now on, I hope that you will cultivate well and not slack off at all. Try your best to succeed in your cultivation as soon as possible. Step on the Immortal Path, seek immortality, and obtain that carefree Dao Fruit…”

Li Changshou’s knuckles pierced into his palm, and drops of blood fell. Li Changshou forgot to collect his blood.

No, I can’t give up just like that.

Master can still be saved. Master will definitely be saved. I have to find a way…

True Spirit!

Master might have left his True Spirit behind. Although the True Flames of the Sun were ferocious, they only burned for an instant!

Li Changshou threw out seven to eight Soul-Bewitching Pearls and immediately knelt in the void. He kept activating the Soul-Bewitching Pearls…

Wisps of remnant souls flickered!

What else do I need?

He also needed merit! Incense merit! In Nezha’s story, he wanted to use incense merit to reconstruct his immortal body after cutting off his flesh.

Yes, that was it!

Li Changshou sensed that the weak remnant souls in the Soul-Bewitching Pearl were quickly disappearing. He did not dare to wait for long. He drew out his merit and injected a few Soul-Bewitching Pearls.

Take it, take it all.

He was willing to use his merit to exchange for it! In the blink of an eye, golden light flickered and formed the image of Qi Yuan. However, the image was about to disappear…

No, no!

“Master…”

Da…

The familiar sound of water dripping. Li Changshou’s vision blurred. He seemed to see a familiar pool, screen, carpet, and attic. The goddess in the pool was sitting by the pool. She smiled and asked gently, “Do you need help? I specialize in cultivating the souls of humans and can even give him unique potential.”

“Yes!” Li Changshou did not know what to say and immediately nodded. The goddess extended her left hand. “500!” Li Changshou nodded heavily. “Yes!” The Goddess chuckled. Li Changshou felt the passage of time again. He was freed from the pale situation. In front of him was the image of his master, who was about to disappear…

Li Changshou’s Dao heart rose again. Before he could move, a beam of golden light descended from the sky and enveloped his master’s remnant soul. Another bit of golden light that was like a firefly in the summer night flew over from the side and merged into the remnant soul, making it more substantial.

Li Changshou’s heart was filled with merit. He immediately extracted his merit and gave it to the remnant souls.

He wished that his master could take away all his merit. However, when 10% of his merit was consumed, the remnant soul was already wrapped in golden light and could not absorb any more merit.

Goddess Nuwa’s voice sounded from the sky.

“Your master is dead today. The spirit of regeneration has nothing to do with you. Is that okay?”

“Yes!”

Goddess Nuwa continued, “Just send his soul into the Six Paths of Reincarnation to nurture it.”

The golden light dissipated. The woman in the sky smiled and looked at the old Daoist priest sitting beside her. She smiled and did not say anything.

At that moment, a seven-colored vortex suddenly appeared on the ground. The chanting of sutras sounded, and an ethereal singing voice sounded. A phantom flew out of the vortex and sighed softly.

“Ah, it’s not easy for me to come out. I still have to do the work of the Soul-Reaping Envoy. I’m too miserable…”

Goddess Houtu!

No, it’s Little Grief!

Li Changshou suddenly turned around and the figure flew in front of him.

She looked at Li Changshou, whose face was still wet with tears and whose hands were stained with blood, and smiled helplessly.

“Death is the most important thing. My condolences… My condolences have to be reduced. It’s too difficult for me…”

“Thank you, Goddess!” Li Changshou immediately shouted. Little Grief sighed and raised her hand to touch Qi Yuan’s reunited soul, turning it into a ball of golden light.

“Ah, I’m going back. I can’t stay outside for long.” Li Changshou bowed again. “Thank you, Goddess!” Little Grief shook her head and disappeared with the colorful vortex on the ground.

In Li Changshou’s heart, the Grand Pure Dao runes swayed gently, and a blurry image slowly appeared.

Compared to the previous two “video transmissions”, the transmission that Teacher Taiqing had sent this time was clearly disturbed.

The scene was very simple. It was the soul of the old Daoist priest Qi Yuan, who had ended his nurturing period at the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc after an unknown period of time. It flew out of the back of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc with a ray of golden light and flew into a dark cloud to reincarnate.

Lightning flashed in the dark clouds. The lightning was like a dragon, but the lightning reflected a huge vertical shadow. It was a phenomenon when the “Inhumans” descended.

It was a bear with two huge wings on its back. In the Primordial World, it was known as the flying bear. It meant that it was an intelligent, wise, and brilliant genius of a generation.

It was good that he could reincarnate. It was good that he could reincarnate. As for whether he was outstanding…

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. A string in his heart snapped. His immortal power was exhausted, and his essence soul was dispirited. He fell from the sky and lost consciousness.

At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly thought of something! The flying bear form, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation…

Crap! Jiang Ziya? Jiang Ziya was Master in his previous life? Qi Yuan, Qi Kingdom?! “Shit…”

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched and he instantly lost consciousness. Two streams of light flew over from two directions. One of them stopped. It was Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming chuckled and watched as his second sister caught Li Changshou and gently stuffed him into the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice.

Master Zhao looked into the distance. General Dongmu’s figure landed on the top of a mountain and trembled.
