Chapter 361 - Taking Advantage When Li Changshou Is In Danger

Chapter 361 Taking Advantage When Li Changshou Is In Danger

He was emotionally and mentally exhausted… Gods would usually feel weak, dizzy, and hollowed out after consecutive Spirit Explosions. The Pagoda Master asked in concern, “What’s wrong? Did you overdraft your strength?” Li Changshou sighed. That’s not enough. I can’t relax yet. It’s not safe outside. Although I have the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda to protect me, I still have to be vigilant. Li Changshou recited the Heart-Calming Mantra silently and squeezed out some energy. Then, he barely opened his eyes… Ah, this head of long hair. There were also two figures who had the appearance of the characters of a classic movie in his previous life. One of them opened her arms, while the other hugged her waist from behind and they felt the wind blowing towards them. At that moment, the hazy light and shadows made him reminisce…

“Horse, your mane has gone into my mouth. Moo!” “Ox, hold your words. Don’t ruin the moment! It’s rare for me to fly on a dragon! Neigh ~”. Li Changshou shuddered and immediately sobered up. He silently stood up and walked to the edge of the dragon’s back. He calmly raised his leg and kicked Ox-head and Horse-face away. “Ao Yi, where are we?” “We have already entered the North Ocean. Brother Sect Master, don’t you want to rest for a while?”

Ao Yi, who had transformed into an azure dragon, asked.

Li Changshou shook his head slowly and walked to the dragon’s head with his hands behind his back. He stood beside Ao Yi’s horns and looked at the vast world. He could not help but smile.

He had gained a lot from the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain, but he had indeed taken a huge risk.

In the next 200 years, he had to stop taking the initiative to plot and let the “luck” that might be on him slide…

Although he could earn a lot of merit by being kidnapped by the Heavenly Dao, he had to bear the corresponding risks.

The Jade Emperor had shouldered most of the karma of the demons this time. However, Lu Ya, who had not been destroyed, had become a hidden danger to Li Changshou… I should just hide and cultivate.

Thinking about it carefully, the greatest gain this time is not the two portions of merits, but…

The Grand Pure One had directly imparted the Dao to me!

In the Primordial World, one could claim to be the in-name disciple of the Saint after listening to the Saint’s Dao preaching once. However, the saint directly imparted the Dao to him like that, and he even gave him the “Grand Pure One’s Teaching About Water”!

If Li Changshou was willing, he could already recognize the Saint as his teacher and call himself the Saint’s disciple. He had yet to be officially accepted as a disciple. He probably had not done enough.

Be more stable.

Ask my heart, question my nature, understand myself, and seek peace… The matter regarding the dragon race has been settled. The demons have suppressed their anger. The matter regarding the Netherworld can be planned slowly. Later, he only needed to move the Little Qiong Peak to the Tushita Palace without anyone noticing. Then, he could stay at home and comprehend the Great Dao of Inaction. That was the foundation for becoming stronger! Ao Yi asked, “Brother, do you want to bring the Soul-Reaping Envoy up?”. Li Changshou glanced at Ox-head and Horse-face, who were running wildly on the surface of the sea, but were getting further and further away from the little azure dragon. He shook his head and asked the little dragon to turn around…

Li Changshou had been busy blowing up the Demon Ascension Mountain and snatching the Man-Exterminating Sword the past few days. He had successfully resolved the problem of infertility in the Magi. In general, he had experienced many dangers and difficulties!

When he arrived in the North Continent, he saw all four Grand Magi. Li Changshou took out a Shadow-Retaining Ball and described the demons’ schemes. He also took out the Man-Exterminating Sword that had lost its functionality… The few Grand Magi took turns to hold the Man-Exterminating Sword. When they felt the traces of the True Spirit that had passed away on it, they were all enraged!

The Magi were naturally grateful to Li Changshou. However, the Magi were poor and could not produce any decent gifts to thank him. Moreover, they had already sworn to never go out of the North Continent again. They could not work for Li Changshou. At that moment, the Great Magi were very awkward…

Li Changshou smiled and said, “The Magi are in the line of succession of God Pangu. Although they have made mistakes, their race will not be destroyed. I’m just taking advantage of the situation. I’m acting on the orders of the Jade Emperor. In the future, the Magi will prosper in the North Continent and stabilize the northern border of the North Continent. That will already make the Heavenly Courts worry a lot. Why do you have to be so conflicted about giving me any thank-you gifts?”

The four great Magi bowed repeatedly. Li Changshou waved his hand and left gracefully.

One should be content.

The Magi were already extremely poor. If they continued to attack them, it would be too inhumane…

Due to the fact that he was too tired, Li Changshou let Ox-head and Horse-face, as well as the other six experts of the Magi race, return to the Netherworld on their own.

Li Changshou asked Ao Yi to return to the Heavenly Courts and help him ask for leave from General Dongmu. He said that he had spent too much effort previously and needed to rest for a month or two…

After doing that, Li Changshou used Earth Escape and rushed back to the Immortal Du Sect.

The closer he was to the Immortal Du Sect, the more exhausted Li Changshou felt. The exhaustion in his heart surged like a tidal wave.

That was the aftereffect of activating the Earth Emanations Spirit Explosion Array in two consecutive waves. Although it was artistic, it had a strong aftereffect.

The best way to recover was to completely relax and have a good sleep.

“Pagoda Master, can you make an exception and guard me when I rest later?” “No problem!”

Waves of spiritual will came from the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. “Little Disciple, sleep hard. Don’t worry. Even if you sleep in the demon’s nest, we won’t have a problem!” “Little Disciple, your Spirit Explosion is getting better and better! Although you can’t hurt those true experts now, this thing is just beautiful!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. That’s probably a compliment. With his strong willpower, Li Changshou made it back to the Immortal Du Sect and quietly returned to the Little Qiong Peak. The more he traveled, the more difficult it was for him to persevere. Li Changshou wanted to find a corner and use the transformation technique to hide before resting. However, when he saw his rocking chair, his mind could no longer hold on. He put away the paper effigy, leaned back, and lay down. The mental impact of five consecutive Spirit Explosions was too strong. It would be best not to do this in the future… The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda flashed gently and appeared above Li Changshou’s essence soul. It scattered cool air to help him relieve his fatigue.

Li Changshou’s essence soul was already a little sleepy. He wanted to thank the Pagoda Master and take a look at how Ling’e was cultivating. However, as thoughts ran through his mind, his essence soul fell…

Li Changshou felt that he was being too extravagant by letting the Exquisite Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, which was comparable to a Connate Cardinal treasure, guard him while he slept. He fell asleep and snored softly.

A moment later, Ling’e, who had been cultivating at the door, was attracted by the snoring that she had only heard twice. She slowly opened her eyes.

Senior Brother is asleep?!

Shock was written all over Ling’e’s face. She stood up gently and looked at the figure on the reclining chair. After listening carefully, she realized that the snoring really came from the figure’s mouth and nose! “Senior Brother?”

Ling’e raised her hand and gently poked the back of Li Changshou’s hand. She almost cried tears of joy on the spot and was extremely touched!

How many years has it been? I’ve poked Senior Brother’s real body again!

Something is amiss… It’s a good opportunity! Ling’e’s eyes lit up and she immediately smiled mischievously. She ran to the Pill Chamber to find a brush and ink and sized up her senior brother.

Hmph, stinky Senior Brother, I’ll write the Steadiness Sutra on your face! It’s fine if you punish me, but I still have to write it on you!

Ling’e giggled and gradually smiled. She picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink. She tilted her head and sized up her senior brother’s sleeping appearance. She wanted to start from everywhere.

The camouflage on Li Changshou’s body had dissipated after he returned to the mountain. However, the few layers of charm reduction disguises that he had been using were still there… However, just like that, she was a little dazed. She held her brush and stood there in a trance.

Gradually, Ling’e’s face turned slightly red. Her lips were crystal clear as she bit her lips gently. “Senior Brother…”

Li Changshou naturally did not have any reaction at that moment. He was already subconsciously very familiar with Lingle’s aura.

If I do this… Senior Brother will not scold me, right?

Ling’e pressed the handle of the rocking chair with her left hand and slowly leaned down. Her face was slightly hot.

Her eyes flickered, and her vision was gradually filled with her senior brother’s face. Then, the image slowly enlarged…

Just… just once…

Under the warm afternoon sun, her black hair that was hanging down like a pearl curtain was grabbed by a trembling hand. It was pulled back to the side of her ear and gently pressed down.

Perhaps there was a sound, or perhaps it was silent. The moment they touched each other, time seemed to have frozen. The wind also stopped. The fallen flowers were independent, and the rain and swallows were flying. After a while, the graceful figure, who had jumped away in a panic, turned red from her neck to her forehead.

A small mushroom cloud appeared above Ling’e’s head. She turned around and used the Wind Escape technique before disappearing…

They were in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall of the Heavenly Courts.

General Dongmu rushed in and looked at the Jade Emperor, who was smiling at the memorial on the platform. He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed. “Your Majesty! The Water God sent Ao Yi to look for me. He wants to take a leave for a period of time. He said that he has exhausted too much of his mental energy and needs to rest.”

“Is Changgeng alright?” The Jade Emperor who was dressed in white stood up. “How is he exactly? Is he injured?” “Your Majesty, don’t worry. I’ve asked in detail,” General Dongmu said with a smile. “According to Ao Yi, the Water God has used too much of his energy to forcefully detonate the Demon Ascension Mountain. That’s why his mind is exhausted. The Water God has a mystical technique from the Grand Pure One and he should be fine.”

“Ah…”

The Jade Emperor’s expression immediately relaxed. “This time, we attacked the evil demons and raised the prestige of the Heavenly Courts. There were no casualties from the Heavenly Courts. It is all thanks to Changgeng’s efforts and schemes.” “Your Majesty.” General Dongmu said, “Why don’t you give the decree to let the Water God be in charge of coming up with strategies and plans in the future? The battle will be left to the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. It’s too tiring for the Water God to work so hard and do everything himself.” The Jade Emperor nodded and said, “I can only persuade him about this matter. I can’t make a decree. Changgeng also saw that the Heavenly Courts have just improved and he does not want the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to suffer any losses. However, that would be disadvantageous to the Heavenly Courts’ training. General Dongmu, how do you think we should reward Changgeng this time?”

“This…”

General Dongmu pondered for a while. “Your Majesty, the credit of the Water God is enough for his Deity Position to advance. However, the official decree to confer the title of Water God has yet to be formed. It’s too fast to mention it again. I’m afraid that the immortals will feel that something is amiss.”

The Jade Emperor pondered for a while and said with a smile, “Changgeng loves merit the most. This time, I’ll give him… double his merit salary for a thousand years. When he’s in the Heavenly Courts, he will travel everywhere on a mount. Make more rewards. Allow the Water God to summon the Chang’e of the Moon Palace at will.”

“Yes.” General Dongmu bowed and praised in his heart.

Summon the Chang’e of the Moon Palace at will…

He was about to become the Jade Emperor’s brother!

However, speaking of which, the Water God had always appeared in the Heavenly Courts as an incarnate. Furthermore, he did not hold any banquets or dances. The reward sounded nice, but it was meaningless. General Dongmu could not help but recall the scene of the Demon Ascension Mountain being torn apart. He sighed silently.

Immortals could not be compared to each other.

Half a month after the battle on the Demon Ascension Mountain, the Heavenly Courts were discussing the explosion that day. At that moment, the Heavenly Generals and Heavenly Soldiers had already reacted. Many Heavenly Generals had also made a revision of the battle.

The Heavenly General Ke Zhenguo, who had yet to appear, was actually the incarnation of the Water God. The Water God had used a brilliant plan to gather the “radicals” of the demons on Demon Ascension Mountain and bury them in one wave. What is scheming against a big shot? In just a few days, a small design was activated. It used the demons’ underestimation of the Heavenly Courts to attract a large number of demon experts to Demon Ascension Mountain.

The moment the Spirit Explosion happened, the demons realized…

They had been tricked! This process seemed to have many hidden dangers, but if one thought about it carefully, they would discover that there was a hidden “general trend”. When the Heavenly Courts kept losing and the demons’ morale was greatly boosted, even if someone told the demons that these were all schemes of the Heavenly Courts, how many demons would believe them? However, the Water God’s plan would have the best effect during the first use.

At this moment, the demons did not dare to underestimate the Heavenly Courts. It was impossible for them to plan so smoothly in the future…

During this period of time, when the Heavenly Generals were chatting and laughing together, they were also thinking about how they should deal with the evil Demon Clan and the enemies in the future. The generals, who originally only wanted to deploy troops and set up arrays, simultaneously began to think of strategies to deal with the filthy and scheming bunch.

The atmosphere in the Heavenly Courts became much warmer.

“Ke… Zhen’e?”

At the Central Heaven Gate, Bian Zhuang, who was guarding the Heavenly Gate, muttered the name softly. He increasingly felt that the Water God had made arrangements for him right from the beginning! If Ke Zhen’e is the Water God, then Ke Le’er is… Suddenly, he heard a voice from the side. “Commander Bian, someone is coming!” Bian Zhuang immediately focused and looked up. His eyes lit up and his breathing became irregular. It was a fairy whom he had never seen before. She was slowly floating over on a cloud. Her face was beautiful, and her facial features were exquisite. Her skin was moist and lustrous, far beyond the standards of an ordinary fairy. Her immortal dress fluttered in the wind, and her veil was hazy. She gave off an indescribable sense of beauty. Bian Zhuang immediately walked forward, puffed out his chest, and cleared his throat with his head held high. He raised his hand and flicked a wisp of his bangs off his forehead. The silver armor on his body flickered slightly, and he said in his most gentle and deep voice, “Fairy, please wait, the Heavenly Courts is an important place.” The fairy lowered her cloud and looked at Bian Zhuang. She said, “Heavenly General, I’m here on orders to seek the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. Please do not stop me.” Bian Zhuang frowned slightly. Although he was interested in this young lady… there were three or four fairies in the Jade Pool whom he was also interested in now. He was in a much better position than he was back then.

It was too embarrassing to guard the Dragon Palace! “Fairy.” Bian Zhuang smiled and said, “The Heavenly Courts’ Water God is an important god of the Heavenly Courts. You can’t see him that easily. Why don’t you inform the sect? I’ll send someone to report to the Water God Residence. If the Water God wishes to meet you, he will naturally meet you.” The fairy frowned slightly and seemed a little dissatisfied. However, she still said gently, “In my opinion, General, you should let me in first before sending someone to report to the Water God Residence.” “Oh?”

Bian Zhuang smiled. “You seem to be quite confident. May I know where you came from and who you are under orders from?” “I came from the Holy Mother Palace. On the orders of Goddess Nuwa, I’m inviting the Water God over to have a chat.”

Bian Zhuang’s smile froze. His Adam’s apple trembled as he said firmly, “Fairy, please. I will send you to the Water God Residence!” The female immortal thanked him and did not say anything else.
