My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 332 - 2 Arrangement For Cultivation To Ascending To The Heavens

Chapter 332 Arrangement For Cultivation To Ascending To The Heavens

In the straw hut, Ling’e pouted and carefully wiped the water stains on her face with a handkerchief. Li Changshou smiled apologetically. Then, he frowned and folded his arms. His immortal senses were focused on the young man outside the mountain gate. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. What happened?

That shouldn’t be the case.

How is that possible? Is this young man, Li Jing, the general of Chen Tang Custom? Madam Yin’s husband? The father of San Zha? He will definitely be picked up empty-handed... Ahem, that’s not possible. Could it be that he would become a god in a few decades?

Something is obviously wrong! The South Continent does not have any Black Bird Shang. From a mortal point of view, there was no sign of the Shang Nation, which was the main target of the God Conferment! Li Changshou had examined it many times. At that moment, the mortal world of the South Continent was equivalent to the state where the heroes of the continent were divided after the end of summer.

Due to the vast territory of the South Continent, the development levels of various places were different. Some areas were even “knocked out” by the men and women of the tribe. Their development levels were different.

Moreover, the sequence of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation should be as follows.

The first step should be that the Jade Emperor feels that he has been offended by the disciples of the three sects. He will go and complain to the Dao Ancestor.

The second step would be the Dao Ancestor summoning the Three Pure Ones to sign the God roll and make the disciples of the three sects fill in the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Positions. The third step would occur a long time after the God roll is signed. Goddess Nuwa would get offended by a poem written by the King of Shang, Di Xin. She would want to punish the King of Shang and cause a huge calamity. At this moment, the Saint will realize that the Great Tribulation should have happened in the mortal world of the South Continent. Chan School adopts the strategy of taking in disciples to fend off the calamity. Jie School would adopt the strategy of sealing the island and not leaving

Li Changshou had come up with that idea hundreds of times over the years. The chances of him making mistakes were extremely small. It would take more than a few hundred years to complete those steps!

Li Changshou stared at the young man kneeling in front of the mountain gate and could not help but fall into deep thought.

He had to be steady. He did not have much information now.

How can I obtain more information?

That’s simple...

Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced. He carefully analyzed the memories of his previous life. After entering the Golden Immortal realm, he could “recall” many details that he had originally forgotten in his previous life. In fact, an old pure Yang like the Great Daoist Master, who had lived for countless years, could only use deductions to recall distant memories. Soon, Li Changshou retrieved a few pieces of information about Li Jing from his memories. Li Jing was the general of Chen Tang Custom, and an important general of the Shang Dynasty.

He was a loyal patriot who loved his country and was upright. Occasionally, he would be afraid and cowardly. He claimed that he had studied the Dao techniques for many years, but it was difficult for him to cultivate the Dao. Therefore, he chose to return to the mortal world and become a general. That contradicted his claim that he had been guarding Chen Tang Custom for generations. After the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, his physical body was on the God roll. He became the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Courts, Li Tianwang. His eldest son and second son, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha respectively, followed his master, the Heavenly Lord, Wenshu Guangfa, and Daoist Ci Hang into the Western Sect. His third son, Nezha, and Li Tianwang served the Jade Emperor.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued to think.

Li Jing was most famous for falling out with Nezha.

As for Nezha, Li Changshou was naturally extremely familiar with him. He was the best bear in the legends. In fact, from Li Jing’s perspective, Nezha should have been punished for killing the Dragon Prince and causing a disaster for Chen Tang Custom. He should have been punished for accidentally killing the child of the rock goddess.

At that thought, Li Changshou could not help but think...

As an ordinary human, Li Jing probably could not feel anything about the reincarnation of the Spiritual Bead that his wife had been pregnant with for three and a half years. Right?

If Li Changshou were to be the judge, Li Jing would be a typical supporter of patriarchy. He would not discipline his children, but he would not be willing to bear the responsibility of failing to educate his children well. The biggest culprit behind the tragedy of Nezha cutting off his flesh was actually the Perfected Tai Yi, who pampered his disciple excessively and gave him all the treasures. After Nezha cast the Lotus Flower Treasure, his pursuit of Li Jing seemed to be a rebellion against his father’s authority, but it was actually over the top.

Huh?

There seems to be something here... When Li Jing was being chased by Nezha, Nezha had poked Daoist Randeng with his spear and gotten Li Jing’s help.

Burning Lamp bestowed a Linglong Treasure Pagoda. Li Jing used that treasure to subdue Nezha and made Daoist Randeng his teacher. Before this, Li Jing had always claimed to be the disciple of Perfected Du’e of the Kunlun Mountain.

Considering the fact that the mortal generals who enjoyed boasting and would lie that there were 800,000 troops even though he really only had 200,000 troops, could it be... Li Jing, who claims that he is a “disciple of Perfected Du’e’ actually meant that he is becoming a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect? He cultivated in the Immortal Du Sect for a period of time and felt that there was no hope for longevity. Then, he returned to the mortal world to prepare to take advantage of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to ascend to the heavens and enjoy longevity?

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up!

At that moment, he suddenly felt like he had seen through the mythical truth wrapped in the fog!

A more practical question followed... “Then, what can I use Li Jing to plot?”

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to Li Jing, who was kneeling outside the mountain gate.

“Wait patiently for now. I will arrange for you to enter the sect to cultivate later. I hope that you will cultivate diligently and not forget your original intention today.” Outside the sect, Li Jing kowtowed to the sect.

Li Changshou did not look further. He sat there and pondered.

Ling’e, who was at the side, wiped her face clean aggrievedly. Seeing that her senior brother was shaking his head and nodding, she did not dare to disturb him. She could only quietly slip away and wash up. Soon, Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts.

It would be a waste not to use a pawn that was sent to him!

He was already on the opposite side of the Burning Lamp, so he naturally could not give it a chance to attack. However, he still had to think of a way to obtain the Golden Pagoda.

Li Jing was an important general in the Shang army. His three sons were also outstanding talents, especially Nezha. The potential of the Lotus Flower Treasure Body was limitless. Moreover, it was related to one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, Perfected Tai Yi.

Li Jing’s shortcoming was very obvious. He did not care enough about his son and did not know how to educate him. He used the excuse of being loyal to his country to cover up his shortcomings and regrets.

If he could let Li Jing cultivate in the Immortal Du Sect later, he could secretly interfere from the side and make the atmosphere of the Immortal Du Sect’s large family affect Li Jing, making him have a greater sense of responsibility towards his family.

At that moment, Li Changshou thought of how to teach Li Jing, how to quickly make Li Jing become a powerful Heaven Immortal, and how to give Li Jing extra care. Li Changshou had even thought of the brilliant plan that he had prepared for Li Jing when he left the mountain.

His name...

Prenatalism!

A huge fish suddenly appeared in the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou, who was originally less concerned about the sect, temporarily shifted his attention back.

Teaching Li Jing a good lesson would be more important to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

During the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Li Changshou would obtain more opportunities to interfere with the Great Tribulation.

After the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Li Changshou could use the karma from the Immortal Du Sect’s era to build a relationship with the Heavenly Courts’ Generalissimo in the future. From then on, he could consolidate his position as a minister and it would be easier for him to earn merit.

The Heavenly Courts did not have any outstanding achievements that would shock the ruler and the ministers. With the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and the support of the Dao Ancestor, who could rebel against the Jade Emperor?

In fact, after Li Changshou discovered Li Jing, he was already considering...

After I condense the Merit Gold, I will nurture a set of “reliable helpers” for the Heavenly Courts. I will be the Jade Emperor’s right-hand man. I will enter a state of semi-retirement and enjoy immortal life.

Making arrangements is an art that has risen in the modern era.

It sounds much better than scheming.

However, Li Changshou quickly realized that it was quite difficult for Li Jing to enter the sect.

Li Jing was first targeted and ridiculed by the other young men who came to take him as a disciple. Then, Li Jing finished all his rations. He was so hungry that he almost fainted. Fortunately, Li Changshou discovered it in time and arranged for an immortal crane to fly over. He brought a bottle of pills to curb Li Jing’s hunger and helped him solve two problems at once.

The trouble that Li Changshou faced was to find a master for Li Jing.

It was impossible for him to accept a disciple.

Li Jing had such a huge karma plate. Taking him in as a disciple would only cause him more trouble. If he had to take him in as a disciple in order to arrange for Li Jing, Li Changshou would rather give up on the “great calamity”.

After thinking about it, Li Changshou felt that Elder Wan Linyun was the best candidate. Elder Wan Linyun was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. In the beginning, he would definitely scare Li Jing to death. However, the more that was the case, the more amiable the elder would be. That would make Li Jing feel... that humanity and true love exists in the human world!

A father’s love is like a mountain, and his love is boundless!

However, Elder Wan Linyun seemed to be in seclusion. He still had to deal with the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Li Changshou pondered for a while and could only eliminate that option. After thinking about it, a famous person like Li Jing should really invite Perfected Dule to take in an in-name disciple.

That way, Li Jing’s background would look better when he entered the Heavenly Courts and became an immortal.

After hesitating for a few days, it was time for the ceremony.

Li Changshou suddenly felt a sense of danger...

If he could not settle the matter regarding Li Jing’s master, it was very likely that the Saint would send a decree to him on the day of the opening ceremony and tell him to accept it! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was likely to happen!

What should he do?

How could he persuade someone whom he was not familiar with to take in a disciple who did not have much potential? They even had to show 100% concern and love to him like he was his father.

There was really no suitable candidate for someone whom he was familiar with...

Should I ask the Great Daoist Master to help me invite Perfected Du’e to the Immortal Du Sect?

What is the reason?

Could it be that my Dao of deduction had suddenly advanced to the point where it is comparable to the Saint’s? Could he have deduced that Li Jing would be an important figure in the future?

I would most likely be beaten up by the Great Daoist Master. At the same time, I would be pulled to the Purple Cloud Palace by the Saint to have my essence soul disintegrated.

If that doesn’t work, I can only let Uncle-Master Jiu Wu go up! However, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu cannot provide much of an image of a “dignified father”. He also gets lectured by Aunt-Master Jiu Shi every day...

Could it be that there is no suitable “Old Father of Li Jing” in the huge Immortal Du Sect?

Someone yawned outside the straw hut.

Li Changshou looked up and saw his master riding a cloud towards the back of the mountain. He felt that he must have gone to check on Aunt-Master Jiu Yushi’s cultivation homework.

His master...

Even if he jumped out to make his presence known, he could not take in any more disciples!

Li Changshou stood up and paced around the straw hut, thinking of countermeasures.

It seemed to be a small matter, but it had a lot of implications. It was not safe to deal with it.

He pondered carefully and kept deducing. He would deduce a possibility repeatedly. This time, there was no flash of inspiration. Li Changshou only calculated according to his method. When he reached a dead end, he jumped out in time, changed his train of thought, and adjusted his way of thinking...

First, it was targeted, then dispersed, and then abstract...

Gradually, a clear vein appeared in Li Changshou’s hand. From “How can I make Perfected Du’e come and take in a disciple personally?” to “What is so attractive about Li Jing?”, Li Changshou suddenly grasped the main point!

Luck!

Just now, Li Jing managed to make him feel an impulse, caused him to take a few more glances and even made him ask a question. It must have had something to do with Li Jing’s luck!

How could Li Jing’s luck be bad if his body could be on the God Roll? Moreover, he would be the future Marshal of the Heavenly Courts. He and his three sons would be considered the heads of the wealthy families of the Heavenly Courts!

Soon, Li Changshou came up with a plan. The paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts became active and rushed to the Tushita Palace...

An hour later, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his round chair. He looked at the stack of scrolls in front of him and smiled peacefully.

“How can there be so many brilliant plans? However, they are all results of hard work.” Two days later, Li Changshou’s paper effigy returned from the Heavenly Courts and brought back a treasure pouch. At that moment, a large number of immortals and mortals had stopped outside the Immortal Du Sect.

Some immortals sent them to learn some skills. They floated in the sky. Those who did not have an immortal sect as their support would wait on the steps in front of the mountain gate. A rough calculation revealed that there were already two to three thousand children and youths. It was much livelier than the previous opening ceremony.

Clearly, in the past two hundred years, the Immortal Du Sect’s reputation in the five continents had improved significantly.

The people in the sect were acting like mortals who were celebrating the new year. The immortals’ worries about the previous batch of disciples who had left the sect had been washed away. The elders and disciples of the various peaks who were taking in disciples would go to the sect for a stroll when they had nothing to do.

If they wanted to take a stroll, so be it. Yet, they did not reveal themselves. It was as if outsiders would laugh at them if they saw them.

Li Changshou cursed in his heart and called the few people on the Little Qiong Peak over to verify...

He took out a Dharma artifact that looked like a corona and placed it in front of the straw hut. He asked his master, junior sister, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, Aunt-Master Jiu Yushi, and Xiong Lingli to step forward one by one and place their palms on it for a while. That Dharma artifact was created by the Great Daoist Master. There was only one function, and that was to determine the destiny of a person. Li Changshou originally wanted to learn the Qi-Seeking Technique, but when he saw that the Great Daoist Master had such a treasure, he chuckled and tricked him into giving it to him.

There were twelve levels engraved on the disc. Twelve colors were painted on it, forming a gradient from white to red to purple and deep purple.

Most of the Qi Refinement cultivators of the ordinary human race had luck that ranged from light red to dark red in color. After all, the human race was now the main character of the world and had great luck.

The result of his Master’s test was light red in color.

Jiu Jiu and Jiu Yushi’s destiny were about two levels higher than Master’s. It was normal. However, Li Changshou was surprised that Ling’e’s luck could reach the crimson level and was approaching the purple level. Xiong Lingli pressed her hand down and waited seriously for a while...

“Cousin?”

Xiong Lingli turned her head weakly and asked softly, “Is this thing broken?” Li Changshou stared at it carefully for a while and said, “Look, there are projections too. It’s just that they’re a little smaller... Don’t be sad. You won’t be unlucky if you’re in the right state.”

Xiong Lingli heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.

Then, the five of them looked at Li Changshou at the same time.

Li Changshou smiled calmly and put away the Dharma artifact. He said, “I’ll go look for Uncle-Master Jiu Wu first and talk to him about how to use this thing.”

Then, he used Earth Escape and did not give them any chance to speak.

If he was steady, his luck would be considered the top secret. Even his master and junior sister would not be able to reveal it.

Li Changshou said that he was going to look for Jiu Wu, but he turned around and went to the Immortal Du Hall. Li Changshou had already... made arrangements for the plans for Li Jing to become a disciple and cultivate, for Li Jing’s personality to be modified, and for him to receive some training and family education...

It was arranged.
