My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 325 - I, the Sea God, Will Protect The Pride Of The Western Saints Today!

Chapter 325 I, the Sea God, Will Protect The Pride Of The Western Saints Today!

Three thousand kilometers outside the Immortal Du Sect, in a deserted “resting mine”, a golden light suddenly shone and penetrated through the thick rock wall.

When the golden light dissipated, the figure that was hiding inside disappeared quietly.

After his previous experience, Li Changshou naturally could not stand obediently on the Little Qiong Peak and wait for the Heavenly Dao to throw merit over.

Once in a while, he could be covered by the Sect Leader of the Void Sect. Twice, thrice...

The immortals in the sect were not stupid!

Well, at least most of them were very smart. It was just that their imaginative abilities were slightly inferior.

However, the merit was indeed rich!

Putting aside the accumulation of merit from before, just the merit that he had just obtained would be able to allow Li Changshou to complete... a full forearm of the Golden Body of Merit that he had expected!

At that moment, his essence soul was immersed in the pure power of merit. It swam around happily. The Sea God Steel Trident, ahem, Sea God Divine Power Treasure beside him was also wrapped in the power of merit. It seemed to have become purer...

He was satisfied, gratified, and touched!

After twelve years of painstaking drawing...

I’ve made a killing this time!

However, Li Changshou knew that there were very few opportunities to obtain merit.

Firstly, the South Continent was relatively special. As the protagonist of the world, 80 to 90% of the human race’s destiny was gathered in the mortal world of the South Continent.

Secondly, by making the investigating of water paths be part of the Heavenly Courts’ jurisdiction, he could be considered to have slightly supplemented the Heavenly Courts’ authority. He had also indirectly filled in the details of the Heavenly Dao.

After combining the two, Li Changshou gained a lot of merit.

If he wanted to obtain similar merit, he could follow the same train of thought and investigate the mountains of the South Continent.

However, the hydrology was beneficial to the people. It was extremely important to mortals. The people lived by the water.

The mountain was just lacking some meaning. The merit that he could obtain should be very little.

However, no matter what, it was still better than nothing. Li Changshou decided to send a paper effigy to slowly deal with the dragon race.

Today, there was a second great merit!

Li Changshou circled around the Immortal Du Sect and hid in a river. He waited quietly and used his immortal senses to scan the area within a five-thousand-kilometer radius.

In the sect, Ling’e was still “sleeping”. Li Changshou changed the note beside her hand and asked her to eat peaches and continue to consolidate her cultivation level. At night, they would have a friendly exchange as fellow disciples.

While Li Changshou’s main body moved, the paper effigy did not stay idle.

To ensure that nothing unexpected happened today, he stopped all other types of paper effigies except the Sea God paper effigy who was causing trouble in the Heavenly Courts.

He was going all out to deal with the matters of the Immortal Peach Banquet!

A while ago, at the Immortal Peach Banquet, Li Changshou gained credit for his contributions and returned the Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword.

Golden light flashed in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. When a huge amount of merit was sent towards Li Changshou’s main body, a golden light shone on Long Ji, who was beside Li Changshou, causing her to be covered in a layer of golden powder.

The Jade Emperor smiled and looked at his daughter. Long Ji immediately lowered her head and did not dare to look at her father.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Along the way, Her Highness Long Ji has contributed. She has helped me investigate the water paths and also helped me kill demons with the Demon-Slaying Sword. Her Majesty should be rewarded.”

“Hahahaha!”

The Jade Emperor immediately laughed out loud. He looked at Long Ji’s uneasy face and said warmly, “Go change into a fresh set of clothes and take a seat beside your mother. There are guests from the Heavenly Courts today. Don’t be rude.”

Long Ji’s thin body trembled slightly. She looked up at the Jade Emperor and hurriedly lowered her head. She said softly, “I accept your orders.”

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that.

Twelve years ago, he had discovered something. Although the Jade Emperor doted on Long Ji, he had never announced her existence to the public. There were very few people in the Heavenly Courts who knew about the Heavenly Emperor’s daughter.

That was also a small thorn in Long Ji’s heart.

Li Changshou had only taken advantage of the situation to help Long Ji. To him, it was a small matter. It could also make the Jade Emperor feel proud. At the same time, it could pave the way for him to plot against the Great God-Conferment Tribulation...

It was another matter of killing a few birds with one stone.

“Sea God,” Long Ji called softly, her voice a little excited. “I’ll come back later.”

Li Changshou looked at her and cupped his hands with a smile. Then, he turned around and walked forward.

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. He pulled him into the Immortal Banquet venue and placed him in front of the empty chair. “It’s been hard on you, Minister Changgeng. Quickly take a seat. Today’s Immortal Peach Banquet will be a celebration for you!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The Jade Emperor turned around and returned to his throne. Li Changshou bowed to Zhao Gongming and smiled. “Greetings, Senior Gongming. Senior Gongming actually arrived a step earlier than me.”

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard with a smile. He knew that everyone in the Heavenly Courts was putting on a show for the Western Sect and the dragon race.

“Hahaha, Brother Sea God, don’t stand on ceremony. We are of the same generation. You and my sister have a close relationship. Why are you being so polite?”

Then, Li Changshou turned to look at the old Daoist priest standing beside him and the other five old Daoists sitting beside him. He could not help but frown and look puzzled.

“Why are there unfamiliar faces here? Lord General Dongmu, who did His Majesty invite this time?”

General Dongmu said, “His Majesty is here to entertain the heroes of the dragon race and Senior Gongming. He did not invite any other guests.”

“Oh?”

Li Changshou frowned and looked at the six old Daoists. Before they sat down, they had already begun to attack.

“In other words, these six came uninvited?”

The old Daoist priest snorted and said calmly, “Sea God, are you not welcoming the Western Sect?”

“Oh, the Western Sect... Of course the Western Sect is not welcome.”

The six old Daoists could not help but frown. They were caught off guard by Li Changshou’s act of falling out with them.

According to the customs of the Primordial World’s “old schemes”, wouldn’t he first smile and welcome him with a smile and hidden malicious intentions? They were good at saying things with hidden meanings. In the end, they would have a game of chess. If they really could not go on, they would fall out with each other at the very end.

“Sea God, what do you mean?”

Li Changshou stood up straight and looked at the old Daoist priest’s face.

“The last time I followed His Majesty to roam the West Ocean and observe the situation in the West Ocean, I was ambushed by the Six-Winged Golden Cicada that you raised in the West Ocean. It wanted to kill me. Today, you actually swaggered to the Heavenly Courts for a banquet. Hehe, the Western Sect has really taken all the good things in the world!”

Another old Daoist priest dressed in tattered clothes stood up. His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Li Changshou and said coldly, “Fellow Daoist, don’t slander me. What does the Six-Winged Golden Cicada have to do with the Western Sect?”

Li Changshou sneered. “That trick again! Such a lie came out of your mouth so easily. You are shameless and scheming! The Western Sect is really full of tricks.”

The old Daoist priest was about to cross the short table and attack Li Changshou. Behind Li Changshou, Master Zhao calmly took half a step forward and said leisurely, “Why is the ground of the Jade Pool a little slippery?”

The six old Daoists glared at him, but they stood there obediently and restrained their auras.

In today’s situation, he could only fight. He was afraid that... he could not fight. The old Daoist priest who was the first to stand up said calmly, “The Six-Winged Golden Cicada is a Primordial Beast. What does it have to do with the Western Sect? According to the rumors in the Primordial World, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada is good at the Cosmic Technique. If it eats its flesh, it can give those who have yet to achieve longevity, live long. If we catch such a strange beast, how can we let it live?”

The old Daoist priest even sneered at Li Changshou after saying that.

He was clearly mocking him. The excuse he had used just now was actually a rumor that Li Changshou had made the dragon race spread. I’ll use your shield to block your spear. However... Li Changshou’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Do you dare to say that again?” The old Daoist priest replied, “The Six-Winged Golden Cicada is a Primordial Beast. What does it have to do with the Western Sect?”

“What a good excuse. It has nothing to do with the Western Sect!?!”

Li Changshou took two steps back and hid behind Zhao Gongming. Then, he shouted, “Your Majesty! Please give the order to take down these six imposters!”

Seated on the throne, the Jade Emperor frowned.

All the generals of the Heavenly Courts and the dragons of the dragon race stood up at that moment.

The ministers of the Heavenly Courts, who were closer to the six Western Sect Daoists, jumped far away.

When General Dongmu saw that, he immediately spread his arms and rushed out.

He was fearless and righteous. He stood in front of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother and shouted, “Guards!”

General Dongmu was considered the second most powerful person in the Heavenly Courts. He was also the Marshal of the Heavenly Courts.

At that moment, a loud shout was heard. The tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers near the Jade Pool moved together. More than a hundred Heavenly Generals immediately swarmed over.

Zhao Gongming’s beard twitched. He was already having a hard time holding back his laughter.

A nameless expert in the backyard of the Tushita Palace looked at the cloud mirror in front of him and laughed until he could not breathe.

The six disciples of the Saint of the Western Sect were speechless. One of them scolded, “I’ve often heard that the Sea God is wise and intelligent and is valued by the Jade Emperor. I never thought that he’s just an unreasonable person who slanders others!”

The Jade Emperor said, “Minister Changgeng, how can you be sure that they are not disciples of the Western Saints?”

Li Changshou praised in his heart, What a good assistant!

That scene was not recorded in Li Changshou’s previous memorial.

Li Changshou had previously gave suggestions for the overall process of the Immortal Peach Banquet a few times in the form of a memorial.

Although he and the Jade Emperor knew that the old Daoists from the Western Sect would come, they did not know where they would start attacking. Therefore, they only formulated a general strategy to deal with them. They could not discuss too many details.

At that moment, the six old Daoists clearly could not keep up with Li Changshou’s pace. However, the Jade Emperor could accurately pinpoint and send help. He was also prepared to stand outside and pull the strings...

It was not easy.

Li Changshou bowed to the Jade Emperor and explained, “Your Majesty, you might not know this, but I was attacked by the Golden Cicada last time. Fortunately, Her Majesty attacked and repelled the Golden Cicada. I was furious, but I felt that I was useless! Therefore, I secretly made preparations and set up a plan. I first lured the Golden Cicada out of the West Ocean Dragon Palace!”

At that point, Li Changshou looked at the dragons behind the West Sea Dragon King. His gaze was like a sword, but the dragons did not dare to look at him.

The other dragons of the three palaces understood something at that moment. They frowned and looked at the West Ocean Dragon with vigilance in their eyes.

The four old dragon kings remained silent. They sat there like statues.

Li Changshou continued, “This Golden Cicada’s Cosmic Mystic Ability can be said to be exceptional. Its escape and pursuit are quite powerful. I attacked with all my might and lured the Golden Cicada into a large array that had been set up in advance. I used my mystical abilities and spells in hopes of killing it instantly! However, the Golden Cicada has a mystical ability that allows it to return to its shell. I could only beat it into the shape of a larva. Just as it was about to attack...”

“What happened?”

The Jade Emperor could not help but ask. All eyes were on Li Changshou.

Li Changshou sighed with emotions in his eyes.

“All of a sudden, the world was filled with rays of light. A figure appeared on the clouds. The sky was filled with auspicious clouds, and there were auspicious signs everywhere. It was actually a Great Kind Saint of the Western Sect who suddenly appeared. He said that the Golden Cicada had once attacked the Golden Body of the Western Sect’s Saint. Therefore, he needed to return the karma of the Western Sect. He brought the Golden Cicada back and asked someone to take good care of it.”

Li Changshou pointed at the six old Daoists and scolded, “Now, these six people are saying that the Golden Cicada has nothing to do with the Western Sect! If they did not know about this, they are definitely impostors! If they knew about this matter, they must have deliberately ignored the Saint! The two Saints of the Western Sect are listeners of the Purple Cloud Palace. They have the Heaven and Earth Merit Bodies. Although they are only in-name disciples of the Dao Ancestor, they should be from the same sect as the three masters of the Dao Sect. Your Majesty, I’m from Ren School. I really can’t bear to see them pretending to be the disciples of the Saint and tarnishing the name of the Saint of the Western Sect! Isn’t the pride of the Saint of the Western Sect the same as the face of the Saint of our sect? All disciples of the Saint should protect him!”

The Jade Emperor nodded. “You’re right.”

Then, he frowned and looked at the six old Daoists in confusion.

Suddenly, a Western old Daoist priest’s face flushed red. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The other five old Daoists had gloomy expressions. They wished they could swallow Li Changshou alive.

At that moment, four shocking auras appeared on the seats opposite the six old Daoists! The four Sea Dragon Kings stood up respectively. They did not speak or look up. They were all subservient.

However, behind the four old dragon kings, there seemed to be the shadows of four azure dragons and dragon heads, watching the six Western visitors.

The dragon aura was extremely powerful!

They were the Dragon King, the son and grandsons of the Ancestral Dragon!

At that moment, the Dragon King’s stand was crucial. They could completely hide at the side and not say anything. They could let the Heavenly Courts and the Western Sect fight with their own abilities and then make the choice that was most in line with the interests of the dragon race.

However, at that moment, they stood up and suppressed the people from the Western Sect!

From that, it could be seen that in the eyes of the dragon race, Li Changshou, the Sea God, had added a lot of “authority” to the Heavenly Courts.

“Sea God.” An old Daoist priest in tattered clothes forced a smile. “Second Master should not have told us about this matter. Sea God, please...”

“I didn’t mention any old master just now. Fellow Daoist, how did you know that the Second Sect Master of the Western Sect, the Saint, took away the Golden Cicada?”.

Li Changshou said calmly, “Could it be that all of you knew about this previously, but you are still pestering the Jade Emperor in this important place of the Heavenly Courts?” The six people from the West did not know how to reply. They exchanged glances frantically. At that moment, Li Changshou deliberately took a step back. His tone was less aggressive.

He said, “The disciples of the Saints represent the pride of the Saints. This identity cannot be faked. How can the six of you prove that you are the disciples of the Saints?”

Hence, the six old Daoists in tattered clothes were even more afraid.

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that. He first sent a voice transmission to Master Zhao. Afterward, he said, “Everyone, the simplest way to prove yourself is to make a Great Dao oath. Everyone, you only need to swear an oath to prove that you are the disciples of the Saint of the Western Sect. There is no need to say anything else. Otherwise... I’ll go to the Tushita Palace now and ask the fake disciple of the Saint what he should say!”

Moo...

As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, he heard a cow’s moo from the side.

In the distance, an old Daoist priest dressed in a brown Daoist robe was holding a horsetail whisk and sitting cross-legged on the back of a green ox. There was no glow or color, but it could make one feel shocked.

There were even some who looked at the old Daoist priest and felt that they were facing the world. It was as if the world and the Great Dao had been given thoughts and emotions and had come to life.

It seemed that...

What is the use of the sound of the Great Dao? There is no need to shake the dignity of this body.

Boundless clear qi was formed by him, and he was born after the world was created.

His effortless words made sense. He could see the arrival of the Immortal God.

There was a Dao Supremacy called the Grand Supreme Elder, who was addressed that way by all in the Three Realms.

The Grand Supreme Elder has arrived personally! Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly recalled if he had said anything wrong. The immortals of the Heavenly Courts were shocked. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother immediately stood up and were about to welcome them.

However, the Grand Supreme Elder flung the horsetail whisk in his hand and the green bull took two steps forward. The elder lord’s figure had already appeared in the immortal banquet.

The Grand Supreme Elder looked at Li Changshou and raised his left hand.

Li Changshou did not have enough time to react. However, Li Changshou seized the opportunity!

He immediately walked forward and supported the elder lord’s arm, helping him off the ox’s back!

“Changgeng,” the Grand Supreme Elder said softly.

“I’m here!”

The Grand Supreme Elder said, “Tie the ox outside. Don’t let him be rude in front of His Majesty.”

“Okay!”

Li Changshou agreed and led the ox outside. At that moment, he was already running.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother bowed and invited the Grand Supreme Elder to take a seat. They hurriedly added a meditation cushion beside the throne and sat behind the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

The Grand Supreme Elder did not say anything. He bowed to the Jade Emperor and sat on the meditation cushion.

The six disciples of the Western Sect had already shut up. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the Grand Supreme Elder.

The Dragon Kings of the four seas each addressed him as the Grand Supreme Elder. The immortals and gods bowed. Zhao Gongming also went forward to greet them. He only called them Grand Supreme Elder and did not dare to call them Uncle-Master.

Outside the immortal banquet, Li Changshou accompanied the green ox to a huge rock. He quickly took out an immortal rope and tied it around the green ox’s nose.

The green bull spoke feebly in human language.

“Senior Brother Changgeng... Actually, there’s no need... to really tie him up.”
