Chapter 675: This Treasure Is Interesting

Long Ji was about to enter the tribulation.

In the warm pavilion of the Queen Mother in the Jade Pool,

After the Queen Mother behind the pearl curtain mentioned that matter, Li Changshou remained silent and carefully analyzed the need for Long Ji to enter the tribulation.

The reason the Queen Mother gave was that Long Ji was destined to suffer a calamity and needed to go to the mortal world to train.

However, Li Changshou had to consider if that was the Dao Ancestor testing his bottom line.

Long Ji was his disciple. In the original God-Conferment Tribulation, she had been banished to the mortal world for some reason. Then, she had helped the Chan School faction and made many outstanding contributions. In the end, she had been forced to marry a defeated opponent and was even known as the role model of female immortals.

In the end, she died tragically and became a figure on the God roll, Hong Luan.

This…

Seeing that Li Changshou’s expression did not seem right, the Queen Mother said gently, “Taibai Jinxing, I know that you are Long Ji’s master. You dote on Long Ji very much and naturally can’t bear to part with her. However, the matter of Long Ji responding to the tribulation was set long ago. The heavenly secrets have been written and are difficult to change.”

Li Changshou looked up at the pearl curtain, as if he wanted to see the Queen Mother’s face and eyes.

The Queen Mother, on the other hand, did not seem to be affected at all. She did not feel helpless or guilty at all.

Li Changshou asked, “Your Majesty, why does Long Ji have to enter the tribulation? I’m indeed confused.

Also, the disciples of Ren School will not enter the calamity. Goddess, please reconsider.”

The Queen Mother hesitated for a while before saying, “Long Ji is my beloved daughter. I naturally don’t want her to face such a dangerous situation. However, firstly, Long Ji’s fate is flawed. Back then, she could be born purely because of the Heavenly Dao’s protection. She owes the Heavenly Dao karma and should use the Great Tribulation to repay it. Secondly, Long Ji is the Princess of the Heavenly Courts, but she does not have the title of a legitimate god. She also wants to use this opportunity to let her obtain the position of the Heavenly Dao Echelon. Moreover, this Great Tribulation is originally meant for expanding the righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts. If the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor faces the tribulation together with everyone, she can also be the role model of the immortals. I hope that you can consider the inside story in detail, Taibai Jinxing. Long Ji is entering the tribulation as the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor and not a disciple of the Ren School.”

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to be so polite to me.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. “In that case, let Long Ji make the decision herself. If she wants to go to the mortal world to enter the tribulation, I will think of a way to protect her. Since she is the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, there is no need for her to set an example for the immortals.”

Li Changshou could not say the latter half of the sentence.

He had just fought a wave of Dao Ancestors in the Purple Cloud Palace. Later, Long Ji would be arranged to deal with the tribulation. The inside story was not as simple as the Queen Mother had said.

In other words, the Dao Ancestor was still stubborn about taking the God-Conferment script and allowing the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to smoothly complete its goal. That was also the Dao Ancestor’s bottom line…

In this wave, both parties crossed the bottom line and allowed the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to continue.

Let’s see how many people I can get on the God Roll.

Li Changshou continued, “Your Majesty, please pay attention to your words when you speak to Long Ji later. Tell her that the heavenly secrets are revealed and that there is a tribulation ahead of her. However, she can control if she enters the tribulation.”

“Well…”

The Queen Mother hummed softly. “Alright. Please wait a moment, Taibai Jinxing. I’ll call her over now.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “I’ll wait outside the pavilion. I’ll try my best not to meet her and avoid disturbing her judgment.”

The Queen Mother naturally agreed and sent someone to summon Princess Long Ji.

Long Ji soon arrived on a cloud. After greeting the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother followed Li Changshou’s instructions and asked if Long Ji wanted to face her own tribulation.

If she wanted to face it, she would protect her.

If she did not want to face it, she could block it.

Long Ji pondered for a while and asked softly, “Mother, do you need me to face the tribulation in the Heavenly Courts?”

The Queen Mother sighed and did not answer.

Long Ji said, “If the Heavenly Courts require me to go to the mortal world, I will have no regrets.”

“Think about it for a while longer. Don’t be in a hurry to answer.”

The Queen Mother’s words were hinting at something, but Long Ji shook her head gently.

Long Ji said, “Mother, are you asking me to look for Master and use Master’s identity as the main Tribulation Master to block my calamity? Wouldn’t that make it difficult for Master? I was born in the Jade Pool. I have been accompanied by immortals and have good luck. I haven’t faced any obstacles. Today, the Heavenly Courts are prosperous. However, the various immortals have complaints about Father for causing the tribulation. Even the immortals on the God roll would not be able to fulfill the responsibility of the gods and would not be convinced by Father. I am the Heavenly Emperor’s daughter. If I descend to the mortal world and enter the tribulation together, it can naturally prove that this tribulation has nothing to do with Father. It is the Heavenly Dao that has descended. Their resistance to my father might be less… Mother, let me go.”

Long Ji looked up at the Queen Mother with a smile. Her eyes glistened.

“I’m willing to go to the mortal world. If I don’t even dare to face such an experience, I’m not worthy to be Master’s disciple.”

The Queen Mother could not help but frown. Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He cupped his fists and bowed to the Queen Mother. His body turned into green smoke and dissipated.

Um…

He had to think of a way to let the members of the Chan School and Jie School know that he would attack their disciples’ masters if anyone touched their disciples.

He went to the Tushita Palace to ask the Grand Supreme Elder to help refine more Nine Revolutions Golden Pills. Then, he went to look for Yang Jian and asked him to take care of his cousin.

He then asked the Golden Roc to find a divine bird and make it Long Ji’s mount.

The dragon race could not fall behind either. There must be a large number of water-type divine beasts hidden. It might be difficult to get a Void legendary fish or something, but a divine fish that could spray water would definitely be a “supreme-grade mount”.

It would be a form of protection for his disciple.

Actually, the best guarantee was to let Long Ji familiarize herself with the slogan ‘My master, Taibai Jinxing’. He would also place more Heavenly Constellation Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Array beside her.

He had to be more careful and pay more attention to Long Ji, his only disciple.

The good tradition of Ren School protecting their disciples could not be broken in his hands.

Long Ji still had to get busy at the Jade Pool for a while. The Queen Mother probably wanted to have a good chat with her. Li Changshou was worried about the reincarnation of Ling Zhuzi, so he placed his attention on the South Continent.

Should I ask Long Ji to help?

If Long Ji could roam around the South Continent, she could handle many small problems that he could not handle.

“Forget it.”

Li Changshou smiled.

After all, it was in the Great Tribulation. The more he moved, the easier it was for problems to arise. It was not like he could not do it.

Li Changshou scanned Chaoge City and saw that Di Xin was sitting on the stairs in front of the throne. A few old officials were pacing back and forth, but Wen Zhong was gone.

A minister said, “Your Majesty, although this matter is strange, it has already happened. It can’t be changed. If those old fogeys catch hold of your poems and say that you don’t respect the Goddess or your ancestors, it will really be dangerous. Why don’t you pretend to be drunk and say that you like women and are interested in finding a few beauties to accompany you in various countries?”

Another minister said, “To the King, liking women is not a bad thing. It can cover up the danger of not respecting the ancestors. Goddess Nuwa is a god who creates humans and is the ancestor of all humans. That’s the most troublesome.”

Li Changshou was confused.

It’s not a bad reputation to like women.

Forget it, forget it. Everyone’s values are slightly different. We should respect each other.

He glanced at the tomb of Xuanyuan with his mind and saw that there was only a group of demons left. He knew that the vixen, Little Lan, the lute spirit, and the pheasant spirit had been pulled to the Goddess Nuwa’s Palace by the Demon Summoning Banner.

His gaze swept past the Qi Mountain, the East Lu, the Su Kingdom, the Goddess’s Temple…

Li Changshou patrolled the world of the South Continent and looked at the sects that were “weak” in the Middle Continent. Then, he moved his attention back to Chentang Pass.

He had to think of a way to investigate the situation in the Jade Void Palace. Otherwise, he would be worried.

It was not appropriate for him to go to the Fire Cloud Cave now.

If he made the Dao Ancestor anxious, it would be inappropriate for him to attack the Fire Cloud Cave in advance.

In the corner of the Li Residence, a high-ranking servant stretched and changed into an exquisite servant uniform. He put on his jade identification card and combed his handsome bangs. He smiled and slowly walked out of the door.

There was champagne and red wine in the Primordial World. It was difficult for one’s temperament to be perfect.

Along the way, Li Changshou calmly arrived at Li Jing and Lady Yin’s pavilion. Li Jing naturally went to the military camp to deal with military matters.

Due to the fact that she had been pregnant for too long, Lady Yin could no longer get off the bed and walk around freely. However, because she had a cultivation foundation, it was not too difficult for her to endure it.

At that moment, Lady Yin was sleeping soundly. Li Changshou did not disturb them. He checked the spiritual talismans and array formations that were set up everywhere. Then, he went to the pavilion to sit idle and deduce the time when Ling Zhuzi would appear.

Lady Yin’s endurance was ultimately limited. If she was pregnant for too long, she would also lose her essence.

From the perspective of an adult and a fetus, three to six months of pregnancy was indeed a good amount of time. However, Li Changshou intended to let Nezha be born two months in advance.

There was nothing else for him to do. He had to accumulate changes and reverse the tragic fate of cutting off one’s flesh.

Everything was according to the script of the Heavenly Dao. When the various nodes of Nezha’s life were lit up, the chances of it happening would decrease.

When Li Changshou had told Teacher Taiqing and the Great Daoist Master about his plan, he had deliberately avoided a crucial problem.

How to accept variables.

Take Yang Jian as an example. At that time, the power of the Heavenly Dao was not obvious. Li Changshou had deliberately written the script that had arranged for Yang Jian on the cloth. The Dao Ancestor could naturally see it at a glance.

At that time, as long as his final goal met the Dao Ancestor’s expectations, he could let go.

However, it was currently the Great Tribulation. The power of the Heavenly Dao was close to its maximum value. If Li Changshou wanted to change Nezha’s fate, he had to seize life from the Heavenly Dao.

This was clearly different from making arrangements for Yang Jian. He had to fight with the heavens for the right to lead the script.

Although both paths led to the node where Nezha would become the vanguard of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the sorrow and joy were completely different.

Similarly, Long Ji was the same.

With a move of his immortal senses, he saw Li Jing leaping and galloping on the official road of Chentang Pass. Along the way, the citizens were shouting for the total number of soldiers. Someone even shouted, “General! Has your wife given birth? When are we going to attend the celebratory banquet?”

Li Jing mostly just nodded with a smile and leaped over the horse.

He was a Heaven Immortal. He could pull off difficult moves like “riding a horse and making its head fly” at any time. Moreover, the roads at Chentang Pass were planned. The sidewalk was distinctly separated from the road for horses. There was no worry of bumping into pedestrians.

It was still early in the morning. Li Jing rushed back from the military camp. There should be only one explanation.

He came back to visit his wife, who is pregnant again? No!

When he realized that the high-ranking servant was “alive”, he specially rushed over!

As expected, Li Jing jumped into the residence and ran all the way. He directly arrived in front of the high-ranking servant, Wang Chang’an. He subconsciously raised his hand to bow, but Li Changshou had already jumped up and blinked at Li Jing.

“Ahem!”

Li Jing cleared his throat and said with a straight face, “Chang’an, come with me.”

“Hey, Master, please.”

He was in front of others.

After they went to the study in the courtyard next door, they closed the door and activated the immortal power barrier. Li Changshou straightened his back. Li Jing cupped his hands and lowered his head. “Godfather, look at this!”

As he spoke, Li Jing took out a storage Dharma treasure from his sleeve and shook out a huge rock from it.

The rock was like amber. There was a longbow and three divine arrows sealed inside. The patterns on it were complicated, and there were ancient runic talismans engraved on it. It seemed to be an ancient treasure.

Li Jing asked, “Godfather, what’s the origin of this item?”

What else could it be? The Xuanyuan Qiankun Bow and the Heaven Shaking Arrow. Back then, Xuanyuan had destroyed one of Chi You’s treasures, but his whereabouts were unknown. In the future, he would be casually pulled away by the playful Little Nezha and shoot Child Bi Yun, who was tens of thousands of kilometers away, to death with one arrow, triggering the battle between Goddess Shi Ji and Perfected Taiyi.

“An ancient Dharma treasure.” Li Changshou asked again, “Where did you get this?”

“Just last night, I was feeling uneasy. I looked up at the sky and suddenly saw the stars flashing. I thought that it was the jinx who was cursing me. Unexpectedly, the rock fell from the sky and landed outside the camp.”

Li Jing said in a low voice, “I’ve already ordered that this matter cannot be spread to outsiders. If this is a precious treasure, please take care of it for me.”

“Why?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Are you afraid of karma?”

Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, “Now, I understand. Sometimes, I have to be strong enough to protect what my destiny gives me. I am willing to use all my luck in the future to protect the four of them. My strength is insufficient to begin with. Even if I use my treasures, I will not be able to fight against mighty figures. It’s fine if I don’t use them.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile. Then, he slowly paced around, his eyes flickering.

Even if he did not use the Cosmic Bow and the Heaven Shaking Arrow, he might still have the Life-Seizing Spear, Soul Chasing Lock, and Child Bi Yun’s Death Curse. In the end, they would be related to Little Nezha.

The Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor’s path had always been like that.

However, was this bow really placed by the Heavenly Dao?

Not entirely.

According to Li Jing, Li Jing felt that something was amiss at that time. It should have been when the Heaven Punishment and the Torch Flame Great Dao condensed the will of the human race. At that time, the Heavenly Dao had no time to care about anything else. If any actions were discovered by the human race, the Dao Ancestor’s plan would definitely be wasted.

The Dao Ancestor was 98% old. He would not be so unstable.

Who released this set of arrows?

No matter who it was, they could be the promoters of the Heavenly Dao script. It was no different from the Heavenly Dao itself.

Changing the situation on the surface was not enough to reverse the entire fate. Moreover, the Taiyi Burning Stone was also a signal for the two sects to officially break up. It was considered a relatively important node in the Great Tribulation.

It was not appropriate for him to interfere too much to prevent himself from suffering a backlash.

Li Changshou opened a small notebook in his heart and carefully reviewed the plan that he had made around that matter. He carefully pondered over it…

An hour later…

“Use this as a treasure to protect the sect.” Li Changshou took a deep breath and said, “Don’t ask anymore. It was not arranged by me. Later, you will know whose scheme this is.”

Li Jing lowered his head and accepted the order. Li Changshou pointed at the amber stone. The stone turned into wisps of spiritual energy. The bow and arrow inside slowly landed on the ground like an ordinary item.

Li Changshou said, “Try and see if you can pull the bowstring.”

“Yes.”

Li Jing raised his hand and grabbed the Cosmic Bow. He focused and tried to pull it. The bowstring did not move.

“Well?”

He circulated his Dharma powers with his palms, and his face turned red. His knuckles were almost cut by the bowstring, but the bowstring remained motionless.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “That depends on the method. You can’t always use brute force. Let me try.”

Li Jing hurriedly handed the Cosmic Bow over. Li Changshou grabbed it and carefully sized it up for a while. His right hand flew up and down and tapped various parts of the longbow. The patterns on the longbow shone brightly.

Li Changshou pulled the bowstring and felt like he was fiddling with a mountain. He could already pull it open by half a foot.

Huh?

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up.

“Let me put it aside for a few days. I’ll add something to it and create an anti-theft method like fingerprint verification.”

Li Jing could not help but be stunned. Although he did not understand what was going on, he immediately nodded and agreed.

A few hours later, the lights in the private room of the high-ranking servants lit up.

Li Changshou sat behind the short table in his room. He looked at the table full of broken “parts” and then at the huge gourd that had been sent to him by the “carriage driver” paper effigy.

At the mouth of the gourd, a shadow sat cross-legged and looked at Li Changshou.

It was naturally the essence of the Grand Magus, Yi.

The Great Magus Yi, the man who shot the sun, the strongest archer of the Magi, could even be considered the number one archer of the Primordial World. He was naturally an expert in bows and arrows.

As soon as he arrived, he took a look at the structure of the Cosmic Bow and the Heaven Shaking Arrow and said, “It’s simple. It’s still the same refinement technique as the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. It’s also the most prosperous refining technique in ancient times.”

Under his guidance, Li Changshou tore the bow and arrow apart and studied the restrictions inside.

That made Li Changshou call him a professional expert.

As an ordinary minister of the Heavenly Courts, he had to take charge of everything. He could not be meticulous in everything. He would leave the professional matters to the professionals.

Afterwards…

“How?” Li Changshou gestured at the various parts. He wanted to attack, but he felt that something was amiss.

The Great Magus Yi said, “The way you dismantle it is how you pretend to… I guess so.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Alright, probably.

He took out a Shadow-Retaining Ball from his sleeve and carefully reviewed the process of dismantling it. Then, he began to fiddle with it.

Until dawn.

“Mr. Bai? Ah, right. There’s a small matter here that I need you to come out for. There’s no hurry. You just have to rush to the five continents within two months. Yes, that’s right. This matter has to be done by you, Mr. Bai. If not for you, it would probably be difficult to resolve. Thank you, Mr. Bai. Thank you, Mr. Bai.”

Tsk, done.
