My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 210 From the Director to the Audience

Chapter 210 From the Director to the Audience

What should he do?

What else could he do? Since the Great Daoist Master had summoned him, he could not possibly pretend to be sick. Even though Li Changshou had considered that situation previously and the Great Daoist Master had not paid attention to the matter regarding the East Ocean Dragon Palace, he really did not expect that the Great Daoist Master would be so natural, calm, and easy-going to say that to him—”I’ll wait for you.”

Although Li Changshou really wanted to say “My foot” to the Great Daoist Master, he was still rational...

It was the greatest taboo of the “Steadiness” sect to argue with someone powerful! This little frustration disappeared with a wave of his hand.

Li Changshou immediately stood up and bowed to the east. He used the manifestation technique to leave the secret underground chamber.

He jogged out of the Pill Chamber and sent a voice transmission to Ling’e, his Master, and Grandmaster using his immortal senses and Wind Speech Incantation respectively. He told each of them different things and directly rode a cloud to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

He did not need to worry about his safety if he teamed up with the Great Daoist Master. He might even be able to get a few additional experience cards and increase his experience of using Connate treasures. He might even be able to experience that addictive sense of security.

He had to focus on the Great Daoist Master next. His workload had undoubtedly increased significantly..

According to the old rules, Li Changshou received his jade token and left the Immortal Du Sect.

He first flew a thousand kilometers on a cloud and then used Earth Escape to rush to where the Great Daoist Master was.

It was an inconspicuous hillside. The grass on the hill was lush. There were no signs of something having rolled over it or crushed it. It had been a long time since they last met. The Great Daoist Master’s back still looked the same...

It was ordinary.

The Great Daoist Master stood quietly between the sky and the earth. He merged with the mountains and rivers of the world. It was as if he was growing in that place like the plants and vegetation. There was no surprise.

This realm...

Yes, there is no need to deliberately confirm the Great Mage’s identity.

“You’re here?”

The Great Daoist Master’s elegant voice, which was mixed with some laughter, drifted in the wind.

Li Changshou rushed behind the Great Mage and bowed deeply. He said loudly, “I, Disciple Changshou, pay my respects to the Great Daoist Master!”

The Great Daoist Master turned around and smiled. “Yes, I didn’t disturb your cultivation, did I?”

Li Changshou felt a little touched. He hurriedly said, “No, I’m thinking about some trivial matters.”

“That’s good.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to watch a good show.”

Li Changshou did not have time to say anything else. Master Xuan Du had already grabbed Li Changshou’s arm and pulled him forward.

In the blink of an eye, Li Changshou felt a flash of light in front of his eyes. The scenery around him changed. He followed the Great Daoist Master through the clouds and fog, and teleported tens of thousands of kilometers away. In just a few breaths’ time, two figures appeared above the five-thousand-kilometer wave. They could see the distant horizon and the seawater below. Many figures were coming and going. It was very lively.

It was already above the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart...

The troops around the Dragon Palace were arranged by him as well. That place could be considered as an inescapable trap. However, it was nothing to an expert like the Great Daoist Master.

Li Changshou could not help but remind himself.

No matter how scheming he was, the most important thing was his own strength and backing at the end of the day. At that moment, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and said, “Your cultivation seems to have improved a lot. You should not be far from becoming a Golden Immortal. Your Dao base is surprisingly perfected. You have already passed the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Not bad, not bad.”

Li Changshou said, “I will not let down the mystical ability that you have given me, Great Daoist Master.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and squinted. He casually tapped Li Changshou’s body, and the two of them became as faint as clouds. Their auras were completely concealed.

The Great Daoist Master explained, “Ao Yi from the dragon race is about to get married. There are many experts here. There are also some in-name disciples from Jie School. If there’s no need, we don’t have to directly appear and provoke karma. We will temporarily use some means to hide our whereabouts.” Li Changshou said, “Great Daoist Master, actually...” “Huh? Why?”

“Disciple... Yes, the incarnation of the Sea God of the South Ocean has arrived.” Li Changshou wanted to say that he had already made up his mind. However, when the words reached his mouth, he immediately became alert.

“Those who show off will definitely be suppressed. Regardless of merit, they will only be responsible for their own duties.”

New Edition of the Steadiness Sutra.

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and said, “You did not neglect the matter regarding the dragon race’s entry to the Heavenly Courts. Initially, I wanted to scold you. In this case, I feel much more at ease.”

“How can I dare to procrastinate in handling the matters that the Great Daoist Master has instructed me to do?” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I have already made some arrangements for the dragon race over the past decade. Moreover, I have received a message from someone. The Western Sect will first attack the South Ocean before attacking the East Ocean. They have already used the Deep-sea demons and the Trichiliocosm’s miscellaneous armies. These two are not considered big trump cards.”

Of course, he would not forget what he had wanted to say to Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. There was no need to hide it.

“Oh?” The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and squinted. His focus was also quite different from the others. He asked curiously, “Are you still arranging for a spy in the Western Sect? How did you do that?”

Li Changshou could not help but laugh... You don’t even know about Daoist Wen Jing? In other words, are you completely in the dark about the fact that the Saint had asked me to agree to Daoist Wen Jing’s request? Could it be that you have been napping in the Tushita Palace all these years?

Of course, he could not ask that out loud, and could only keep it in his heart. “Great Daoist Master, this matter is complicated and warped.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “Great Daoist Master, please allow me to report in detail after the wedding. This involves Jie School and the Western Sect, Senior Zhao Gongming, the Three Xiao Immortals, as well as the disciples of the Western Sect’s Saints. This is also an arrangement made by our Sect Master.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but nod with a smile. “There’s no need to tell me. It’s better to avoid trouble.”

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched a few times.

“Great Daoist Master, you’re so carefree. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for me to reach your level, even if I cultivate for hundreds of thousands of years.” “Hahahaha.” The Great Daoist Master waved his hand. He continued, “The more you know, the more you will be embroiled with karma. Since it was arranged by Teacher, he naturally has his reasons. Let’s go. Let’s sneak into the Dragon Palace first. Since your incarnation is there, do you know where is a suitable hiding place in the Dragon Palace?”

Li Changshou thought for a while and said, “In the northwest direction of the Crystal Palace, in a warm pavilion beside a palace. No one will go there for the time being.

Great Daoist Master, do you need my incarnation to bring us in?”

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’ll let you get an eyeopener.” The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du chuckled and pulled Li Changshou’s arm down. An image of the Yin-Yang Taiji Painting appeared under their feet, and the light around them turned into nothingness. It was as if he had jumped out of this place and walked two steps outside the world.

Li Changshou’s eyes flashed. When he saw his surroundings again, he was already in the warm room that he had mentioned. Is this the power of the Connate treasure, the Taiji Painting?

The array formation of the Crystal Palace seemed to be empty!

The experts of the dragon race and tens of thousands of guests did not notice that two people had already secretly touched them...

In Ao Yi’s and Jiang Si’er’s bridal chamber,

“This place is not bad. It’s quite quiet.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du looked at the various arrangements and walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror that was made of crystal. He flicked his finger and a faint cloud appeared in the mirror.

After a while, the clouds dissipated, and a lively scene appeared in the Crystal Palace. There were still two more days before the wedding. Most of the guests had already arrived.

There were thousands of figures sitting behind the round table and short tables in the hall alone. The beautiful sea maidens and clam girls walked around the place, serving wine and food.

The Dragon Palace orchestra composed of hundreds of sea maidens played a melodious tune.

Those who could enter the Crystal Palace were naturally not ordinary creatures. They either had high cultivation levels, or they were famous in the Primordial World. They were either elders of the dragon race, ministers, or important figures of the trichiliocosm.

Other than that, the group of Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island who came to congratulate naturally had to be arranged in the main hall. Not only were they arranged in the main hall, but they were also arranged to be in the most eye-catching and innermost region. Although everyone knew that the number of in-name disciples of the Saint of Jie School was slightly low, the fact that so many of them arrived at once was also a great honor to the dragon race. As a result, Ao Yi’s prestige in the clan had improved significantly.

Although there were many people from Golden Ao Island, there were only a few who could be considered experts. Only four of the ten Heavenly Lords came. At a short table beside the Dragon King, there was a middle-aged Daoist priest with a solemn face and a solid aura. The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du took a few more glances... “Changshou, come over and take a look,” the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said with a smile. “This is the Grandmaster Of Heaven’s personal assistant, Black Clouds Immortal. He should be here as an incarnation.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He naturally knew that the big boss had appeared. Not only did he know it, but he was also the one who had suggested to Ao Yi to invite the incarnation of the Black Clouds Immortal...

It was not for anything else, but for the sake of the ceremony.

However, the Great Daoist Master was in high spirits. Li Changshou could only play along.

Of course, he could not exaggerate and say, “Wow, it’s so magical!”

His acting skills were too superficial. If he did not take it seriously, he would easily be beaten up by the Great Daoist Master. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Ao Yi is the disciple of this Great Immortal. It’s reasonable for him to invite this Great Immortal to attend the ceremony.”

The Great Daoist Master said, “Changshou, do you know how the Black Clouds Immortal came about?”

“I naturally don’t know.” “Hahaha, this is also an interesting event from ancient times. Legend has it that that day, Third Uncle-Master was preaching on an Immortal Island in the South Ocean. He had enlightened many living beings and suddenly felt a huge cloud above his head. Third Uncle-Master looked up and saw a golden-bearded fish swimming in the sky. Due to its huge size, it could not find a place to sit...”

Hence, in Ao Yi and Jiang Si’er’s nuptial chamber, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du enthusiastically told Li Changshou about the ancient stories.

Although Li Changshou was happy, he could not help but feel a little depressed...

At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly realized that he seemed to have played too many roles in the scene of Ao Yi’s wedding. Initially, he thought that he was just a stage supervisor. However, when he snapped back to his senses, he realized that he was already a director, a scriptwriter, an investor, and a stage supervisor. He had also personally become one of the minor actors.

At that moment, because the Great Daoist Master had brought his main body to that place. He had even acted as a cameo “audience”.

I’m the screenwriter, director, actor, and even the audience...

There is really no one else like me.

Soon, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du finished telling the ancient story and continued to observe the Dragon Palace. In this place, apart from the Great Black Clouds Immortal and the few old dragons of the dragon race, only... Li Changshou’s paper effigy could catch his attention.

The Great Daoist Master suddenly asked, “Changshou, do you have any other instructions for your Sea God position in the South Ocean?”

“The Sect Master did not tell me anything.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and said in a low voice, “Great Daoist Master, this incarnation of me is now a servant of the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor’s decree should be completed in a few decades.” “Oh?”

The Great Daoist Master’s eyes lit up. “Doesn’t that mean that you will be coming to the Heavenly Courts soon?” Li Changshou muttered to himself and sighed. “I plan to let the paper effigy go to the Heavenly Courts. My main body will not go there for now. I was ordered to destroy the Western Sect’s plan. After the matter regarding the dragon race’s entry to the Heavenly Courts ends, it would definitely not be hidden. It will be revealed that the Sea God of the South Ocean is the one who plotted this behind the scenes. If I appear in my true form, I’m afraid the Western Sect will secretly target me...” I’m waiting for an invitation to the Tushita Palace’s backyard!

Unexpectedly, the Great Daoist Master nodded slowly and smiled. “I’m very pleased that you can think so thoroughly and take care of yourself.”

Afterward...

Nothing happened afterward...

The Great Daoist Master looked at the guests around him. Li Changshou took the opportunity to use the Great Daoist Master’s vision to find out if there were any spies there.

The image flashed past the Crystal Palace’s door. It seemed that some strange figures had sneaked in...

That was not important. Soon, the main character of the day appeared – Ao Yi in a light blue robe. The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Your Second Sect Master of the Sea God Sect is getting married soon. Why does he still look like a young man?”

Li Changshou felt helpless. He did not want to lie to the Great Daoist Master, but he could not explain it. He could only laugh awkwardly.

Fortunately, the Great Daoist Master only teased him and changed the focus of the scene to Jiang Si’er, who was dressing up in a palace. She took nine days to prepare for her wedding!

Li Changshou had always wanted to complain about that, but he was so busy that he did not have a chance to do so. The Great Daoist Master said curiously, “Isn’t that the little mermaid we met last time?”

“This...” Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “They weren’t together at that time. Something went wrong with my Immortal Sense Poisonous Pill, Flame of Heart. It caused the two of them to be unable to control themselves and become intimate...”

“Oh? You were the reason? Hahaha! The world is truly wonderful.”

Li Changshou was about to say something when the Great Daoist Master blinked again. He pointed at the mirror and revealed the situation on the sea.

A white cloud descended from the sky. There were three figures standing on it. In front of them was a thin elder dressed in a red wedding robe. Behind him were a man and a woman, two golden-armored Heavenly Generals.

The two Heavenly Generals were emitting the Golden Immortal pressure. They led a group of 300 elite Perfected Immortal realm Heavenly Soldiers and landed in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. The Great Daoist Master smiled. “Elder Moon? Why is he here?”

“Well, I invited him... Elder Moon’s identity is suitable for such a place. He’s here to showcase the power of the Heavenly Courts so that the Heavenly Courts can establish a preliminary connection with the dragon race.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Back then, you arranged for Elder Moon to send a mystical ability to me. You were already hinting at me. How can I not understand?” “Not bad, not bad.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but pat Li Changshou’s shoulder. “Although I am very happy that you said that, I did not expect it to be so detailed.”

Li Changshou was just about to continue saying, “You’ve made a casual arrangement, which is already a sign of the Great Dao.” The Great Mage suddenly exclaimed and pointed at the mirror. This time, the scene changed to an island. Two figures “sneakily” emerged from the sea and hid in the array formation. “Junior Brother Zhao Gongming? And... Junior Brother Huang Long?”

The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was puzzled. “Since when did the relationship between the two factions become so harmonious? What are they doing?”

“Ahem, that, Great Daoist Master...”

Li Changshou was speechless. The Great Mage glared at him. “Did you arrange this?” “Not entirely.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “I’m just one of the people involved. I played an unimportant role and slightly pushed the development of the story...”

The Great Daoist Master could not help but stand with his hands behind his back. He looked up and sighed.

“Changshou, did you make arrangements for me too?”
