My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 366 Qi Yuan’s Amazing Adventure

“Eh?”

In front of the straw hut on Little Qiong Peak, Qi Yuan, the Turbid Immortal who had been in seclusion for half a month and ascended to the Perfected Immortal realm with a single immortal peach, was standing in front of the straw hut on Little Qiong Peak. He looked at the situation outside the door in a daze and could not help but raise his hand to draw a few rainbows.

Where’s the lake?

Where is the mountain?

How could a huge lake and mountain suddenly... disappear?! The mountain was like a spirit beast that had been dissected. Dozens of figures flew around inside the mountain...

Qi Yuan took a closer look and realized that the figures had used his appearance! If not for the fact that his eldest disciple did that often and Qi Yuan had already gotten used to it, he would have been frightened by this scene!

At that moment, the Little Qiong Peak was surrounded by layers of light walls, which concealed all changes in the place. Qi Yuan turned his head to the left and was instantly attracted by the huge trees that required three people to hug it in order for the entire circumference of the trunk to be covered.

The huge trees were scattered in the soil that was shimmering with a faint golden glow. The original forest seemed to have become bushes, and the air was filled with the rich aura of living beings. Qi Yuan realized something. He looked up and was stunned again. The spiritual lake that should have been there was now floating in the sky! Someone had used a large amount of Dharma powers to make a huge transparent fish tank. There were groups of spiritual fish and gentle spiritual beasts inside. They were strolling leisurely. The sunlight shone through the water curtain, making everything seem like a dream.

At the original location of the lake, the mountain was cut open, revealing layers of rocks. Below the rock layer, there were piles of neatly arranged Spirit Stones, and array foundations that were flickering with dense spiritual light... The dozen or so figures were shuttling back and forth between the Spirit Stones and the array foundations, constantly working. Qi Yuan probed with his immortal senses and found that he was clearly petrified. What is going on? Little Qiong Peak is made of Spirit Stones? Why didn’t I know?

No, this is an illusion. It’s definitely a mental demon and an illusion!

Qi Yuan trembled. Just as he was about to walk out of the straw hut to investigate, he saw Ling’e floating over from afar with an ornamental jade tree.

“Master! You’re awake! Aunt-Master Shi and Aunt-Master Jiu have returned to Heaven-Breaking Peak! You have some trouble with them now!”

Qi Yuan shuddered and his horsetail whisk trembled slightly. “Ling’e, your senior brother is...” “Senior Brother is modifying the mountain. Master, don’t be afraid. These are all array formations that Senior Brother designed to protect us.”

Ling’e puffed out her chest and shouted seriously, “He’s doing this in order for us to live comfortably in the future, prevent enemies from invading, and protect the harmonious and beautiful tomorrow of our Little Qiong Peak!” “This...” Qi Yuan frowned and said, “Does the sect know about this huge commotion and the existence of so many Spirit Stones and precious materials?” “Don’t worry, Master.” Ling’e used her immortal power to support the jade tree. She took out two scrolls from her sleeve and shook them open gently. “Bang, bang, bang! Senior Brother did that! The Sect Leader has given us special permission to build the Hundred Mortal Hall!”

Qi Yuan opened his mouth and looked at the two ‘documents’ carefully. He heaved a sigh of relief...

“But Ling’e, where did we get so many treasures on our peak? Where did we get so many Spirit Stones?”

Ling’e smiled and said, “Senior Brother has been going everywhere outside and selling them. He has worked hard to accumulate them!” “Sell!?” Qi Yuan could not help but be shocked. “Yes, he’s been selling pills and spiritual beasts.” Ling’e raised her slender fingers one by one. “Sometimes, he also has to work hard for some of the Primordial World seniors. Master, don’t worry. Go into seclusion and rest first. In half a month, the Little Qiong Peak will be completely changed!”

“Well...”

Qi Yuan stepped out of the straw hut and looked around. Li Changshou’s paper effigy bowed from afar. Just as he was about to fly over to explain, Qi Yuan waved his hand and returned to the straw hut.

“Do it, do it. I’ll continue cultivating... Tsk, perhaps I had a dream. I should be fine after being in seclusion for a while. Yes, I had a dream...”

The door of the straw hut slowly closed.

Qi Yuan returned to his meditation cushion and sat down cross-legged. He sighed slightly and kept releasing his immortal senses and retracting them.

Hence, one month later...

Qi Yuan slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his meditative state. Due to the changes in the Little Qiong Peak, he did not have time to stand up and instead, released his immortal senses.

Eh?

Was I really dreaming previously? Outside the straw hut, the small lake seemed to still be the same small lake. The low mountain peak of the Little Qiong Peak had also returned. The forest was still the same... No, there’s something wrong with the forest. The forest is much denser than before.

Moreover, as a Turbid Immortal, he could sense that there was too much spiritual energy in his small mountain!

Qi Yuan pushed the door open and looked around. He had been cultivating there for more than a thousand years. At that moment, he could not see anything unusual. It was as if everything was so natural and that was how it was!

He extended his immortal senses into the mountain and found that there were no obstructions at all. There were ordinary rocks everywhere...

What happened? “Master, they are all illusions.” Li Changshou’s voice sounded from the side. He walked out of the straw hut and bowed to Qi Yuan with a Dao salute.

Qi Yuan asked softly, “Changshou, have you finished setting up everything?” “Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He handed a jade token to his master. “Master, there is a way to save yourself after you enter the maze. Please keep it. This jade token is also a Dharma treasure. It can prevent some strange things from eavesdropping on your mind. You have to carry it with you.” Qi Yuan frowned and said, “Child, you have so many Spirit Stones and precious materials. Why don’t you give some to the sect? Why are you burying them? Also, there are only three of us in the Little Qiong Peak. Your Grandmaster has moved to Heaven-Breaking Peak. Why did you create so many array formations and illusions? If the sect’s array is broken, what’s the use of having so many array formations in the Little Qiong Peak?” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. If the mountain gate were to be breached, the Little Qiong Peak might really be able to turn the tide! At the very least, he could evacuate a portion of his fellow disciples. In order to prevent his master from preaching, Li Changshou smiled and changed the topic. “Master, you just happened to come out of seclusion today. Why don’t you go to the Heavenly Courts to take the Deity Position of the Mountain God and gain some merit in the Heavenly Courts?”

“Alright, what should I prepare?” Qi Yuan had already agreed to Li Changshou’s arrangement. When he heard Li Changshou mention it, he did not refute.

Li Changshou said, “You don’t have to prepare anything. I’ve already made arrangements. You just need to nod and report your background to the Heavenly Courts... Actually, you just have to go and register.”

“Then, I’ll go and change my clothes.” Qi Yuan turned around and rushed back into the house.

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that. He looked at his Grandmaster, Aunt-Master, and Junior Sister who were playing in the chess room and shook his head slightly. Grandmaster and Aunt-Master did not have any pressure on their lifespans. They were not in a hurry to make arrangements. A moment later, Qi Yuan, who had changed into an azure silk Daoist robe, put on a standard Dao hoop. He carried a horsetail whisk and stepped on cloth shoes. He looked like a mortal. “Changshou, what do you think of me?” Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up. “You still look as mighty as ever!” “Hahaha.” Qi Yuan stroked his beard and smiled. He reminded, “Don’t force yourself. I will be fine even if I don’t gain any merit.” “Don’t worry, Master. I’m confident.” Li Changshou bowed and gave Qi Yuan a jade token. His incarnation turned into a paper effigy and entered Qi Yuan’s sleeve. Li Changshou said, “Master, go to the sect and fly to the east. I’m already waiting outside.” Qi Yuan followed his instructions and looked at the newly added bamboo forest at the back of the mountain, as well as Jiu Yushi who was cultivating in the bamboo forest. He rode a cloud and rushed to the mountain gate. After leaving the sect, he flew towards the East Heaven Gate for a while and saw a middle-aged Daoist flying over from the cloud. Qi Yuan immediately became vigilant and tensed up. “Master, it’s me.” The middle-aged Daoist priest and the paper effigy in Qi Yuan’s sleeve spoke at the same time. Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Li Changshou walked forward and took the initiative to invite his master to step on his cloud. He continued to ride the cloud towards the East Heavenly Gate.

On the way, Li Changshou reminded, “Master, the identity of this incarnation of mine is the Little Daoist Master of Ren School. If you encounter any danger in the future, just report this name...” Qi Yuan frowned and said, “Why is your name so strange? The Great Daoist Master of Ren School is one of the few mighty figures in the world. Are you just trying to get some of his clout with your nickname?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “This name was given by the Great Daoist Master. It’s convenient for me to work for Ren School.”

Qi Yuan could not help but be stunned. “Master, don’t worry. If I tell you too much, it will affect your mental state. Master, you only need to know that I can take care of you and Junior Sister now. Master, forgive me for being disrespectful next. We will address each other as fellow Daoists. If your relationship with me is exposed, I’m afraid it will cause trouble for you.” Qi Yuan frowned and nodded. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

When they were almost at the East Heaven Gate, Qi Yuan sent a voice transmission. “Fellow... Fellow Daoist.”

“Go ahead.”

“If there is no Ren School, there will be no sect. There will also be no Dao Fruit for our cultivation. I’m very pleased that you can work hard for Ren School. Remember, don’t be greedy and delay the important matters in the sect. I don’t know how to remind you to take care of yourself.” Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, “Yes, Master!”

The East Heaven Gate was in sight. Qi Yuan let go of all his worries and admired the magnificent Heaven Gate from afar. He saw the group of Heavenly Soldiers that were ready for battle.

The auras of tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers were intertwined. Their might was not inferior to the pressure emitted by dozens of Golden Immortals!

Qi Yuan’s face was a little pale. He said softly, “The Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Might is so powerful.” “It’s a rather special situation now. Demons are causing trouble everywhere.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but a few months ago, hundreds of thousands of ancient demons gathered together and many experts of the demon race provoked the Heavenly Courts. The Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts sent 300,000 troops to suppress the demons. After that, the entire demon race became restless. It was said that there was a group of old demons who ran to Goddess Nuwa’s Palace and cried... Fellow Daoist, guess what?” Qi Yuan smiled and said, “What?” “The kind and benevolent Goddess Nuwa sent a few fairies to hang those old demons up and beat them up. She warned them not to fight against the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “In the past few months, although the demons from all over the world have been unconvinced, the prestige of the Heavenly Courts has increased greatly. Many people have joined. It’s most reasonable for you to go to the Heavenly Courts to gain some merit.” Qi Yuan nodded. Although he did not understand that, he found Li Changshou’s words interesting. As they spoke, they arrived at the East Heavenly Gate.

Immediately, a Heavenly General stepped forward and asked the two of them where they came from and what they were doing in the Heavenly Courts. Qi Yuan looked up at the Heavenly Emperor Sword hanging above the white jade stone door. His essence soul was... trembling. He felt a little guilty for coming through the back door. Li Changshou replied and returned. He waited with his master at the East Heavenly Gate. A Heavenly General rushed to the Water God Residence.

Not long after, a young girl arrived on a cloud. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals bowed and addressed her as ‘Your Highness’. Li Changshou cupped his hands and smiled. “Why did you come out, Your Highness?”

It was Long Ji. Long Ji smiled and said, “I’m in the middle of a lesson with Teacher. Please come with me. Who is Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan?”

Qi Yuan looked at the “Little Daoist Master” beside him and bowed to Long Ji. Long Ji, who was already in the Heaven Immortal realm, waved her hand gently. A white cloud appeared under Qi Yuan’s feet and carried him into the East Heaven Gate.

Then, Long Ji blinked at the “Little Daoist Master”. The latter smiled and left on a cloud. Li Changshou had done that on purpose. There were many considerations. The greatest use was to deliberately place some of his flaws and weaknesses in the Jade Emperor’s control...

Let’s not talk about Li Changshou’s current relationship with the Jade Emperor. Let’s just talk about the relationship between the Heavenly Emperor and the God of Power. After today, even if the Jade Emperor could not confirm the relationship between Qi Yuan and the Water God’s main body, he knew that Qi Yuan was definitely an important “relative” of the water god. As long as the Water God was still valuable to the Heavenly Courts and the Jade Emperor, the Jade Emperor would protect Qi Yuan... Qi Yuan looked at the young girl’s back and could not help but ask, “Your... Highness?”

“Huh?”

Long Ji placed her hands behind her back and turned to look. She revealed the elegant smile that the Jade Pool female immortal usually had and said, “Fellow Daoist, what’s wrong?”

“You, you are...” Long Ji said crisply, “My name is Long Ji. I’m the disciple of the Water God. However, the Water God thinks that my comprehension ability is too low. He will only teach me some strategies and schemes. Fellow Daoist, you are really lucky to be recommended by Lord Water God.” Qi Yuan asked softly, “Um, why are you called ‘Your Highness’?” “My father sits in the Lingxiao Hall and is the ruler of the Three Realms. My mother is the head immortal of the Jade Pool. That’s why they call me ‘Your Highness’.” Long Ji sighed softly. “Actually, I don’t have a godhood in the Heavenly Courts. I’m just an Itinerant Immortal.”

The daughter of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother personally led him to the back door and opened the door...

Qi Yuan was stunned. Long Ji flew with Qi Yuan for a while and flew past a few crowded immortal palaces. She skipped the first few procedures and landed in front of the Hall of Enlightenment. The ten-odd immortals who were busy in the hall were immediately alarmed and stood up to welcome him. “Your Highness, please let me know if you need anything.” Long Ji took out a letter from his sleeve, and her voice was like a lark’s.

“This is a Qi Refinement cultivator from Ren School who was recommended by the Water God. He wants to be a little god who manages a mountain. The letter should have been written clearly. I’m just here to deliver a letter on someone else’s behalf. It’s nothing else.”

The fourth stage righteous god who was on duty in the Hall of Enlightenment today immediately walked forward and received the letter. He opened it and read it carefully. Immediately, he revealed a look of realization and smiled.

“Since it’s the Water God’s recommendation, he must be Ren School’s... high...”

Uh, Turbid Immortal?

“What a talented person! Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, please enter for a while. This Deity Position can be formed in half a day!”

Qi Yuan bowed with a Dao salute. “Thank you, seniors.”

“No, no, no!” An immortal god hurriedly said, “Just call me Daoist. Don’t call me Senior.” Long Ji smiled and said, “Then, Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, wait here. I’ll go back and listen to Teacher’s lecture now!”

“Thank you for leading the way, Your Highness.” Qi Yuan bowed again. Long Ji bowed and left the hall. She leaped onto the cloud and returned to the Water God Residence.

There were naturally immortals who led Qi Yuan into the Hall of Enlightenment. They served tea and gave him immortal fruits. They were also concerned about how troublesome his cultivation was.

There was also a series of “Concentration” and “Choosing Locations”. There were immortals guiding them from the side, providing one-stop, systematic, and back-door services...

News about the Water God’s recommendation of the immortal god spread like wildfire in the Heavenly Courts.

Many immortals and gods came after hearing the news. They circled the Hall of Enlightenment and looked at the Turbid Immortal that Lord Water God had personally recommended. Then, they left...

Half a day later, Qi Yuan completed the process in a daze and officially became a low-level god in the Heavenly Courts. From then on, he belonged to the series of Mountain Gods. He was not given a rank. He ruled over a radius of 5,000 kilometers from the Immortal Du Sect in the East Continent. It also possessed some divine power.

Qi Yuan obtained a jade token. There was a merit negative karma scale on it. He would return to the Heavenly Courts once every hundred years to report his work.

Apart from that, there was also a seal engraved with a mountain. It was his Divine Power Treasure. It was much more powerful than ordinary immortal treasures. It could be used to smash people, and it could also use small mountain rocks and shatter Dharma spells. “Thank you, everyone. Thank you.” The old Daoist priest Qi Yuan cupped his hands and thanked them. The immortals smiled and returned the greeting. They then got busy with the matters of the Heavenly Courts. An immortal god sent Qi Yuan out of the Hall of Enlightenment and pointed at the cloud path to the East Heaven Gate. Qi Yuan thanked him and was about to ride the cloud when he heard laughter... “Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, we meet again.”

General Dongmu, who was dressed in a brown immortal robe, arrived on a cloud.

Qi Yuan could not help but be stunned. A voice transmission entered his ears.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be anxious. I’m General Dongmu, a good friend of the Water God. I’m here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to help cover your tracks and send you to take up your position.” Qi Yuan shuddered. General Dongmu? The leader of the male immortals in the Heavenly Courts? Or was he personally sent to take over by the Jade Emperor?

Saint, I’m just a Turbid Immortal who took the back door...

The back door is almost the main entrance!

Qi Yuan reacted quickly. He knew that he had caused trouble for the “Water God” and immediately bowed.

“Greetings, General Dongmu.” General Dongmu walked forward and grabbed Qi Yuan’s arm. “Hahaha, we parted a few days ago. I didn’t expect you to come to the Heavenly Courts to serve me. Good, good!” “I don’t dare to trouble you, General Dongmu...” “The Water God is trusted by His Majesty. He is usually much busier than me. If there’s anything, just look for me.” General Dongmu smiled and grumbled. The two of them chatted like they were familiar with each other and flew to the East Heaven Gate on a cloud.

On the way, Bian Zhuang and a few Heavenly Generals were waiting. They led hundreds of Heavenly Soldiers and sent Qi Yuan on his way! General Dongmu, the Heavenly Soldiers, and the Heavenly Generals really sent Qi Yuan back to the East Continent. They arrived within 15,000 kilometers of the Immortal Du Sect...

After receiving Li Changshou’s voice transmission, Qi Yuan thanked General Dongmu repeatedly and said that he did not dare to trouble him anymore.

General Dongmu left a teleportation jade token for Qi Yuan before letting Qi Yuan return to the Mountain God’s territory.

Initially, General Dongmu wanted to arrange for someone to build a Mountain God Temple or something... After bidding farewell to General Dongmu and the Heavenly Soldiers, Qi Yuan was a little dazed and drunk. Under Li Changshou’s guidance, he used Earth Escape to wander around for two days before returning to the Immortal Du Sect. After entering the sect, Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. His Dao heart was in place.

He...

This...

Forget it, I’ll go back and cultivate.

This Primordial World is too unpredictable! Qi Yuan pretended that nothing had happened and flew back to the Little Qiong Peak. He entered four or five layers of array formations and returned to his straw hut to take a seat. Thinking back to the simple trip to the Heavenly Courts, many questions arose... What is going on? “Master.” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and smiled. “After that, you can cultivate in peace. Your merit will slowly increase and help you increase your lifespan.” “Hey, Changshou, are you familiar with this Water God?” “I am.”

Qi Yuan was stunned. He felt that his Dao heart was in a mess and he had a headache.

“Master, remember to inform me if you want to go out. Also, bring that jade token with you.” Qi Yuan nodded and fell into deep thought. At the same time... in the Hall of Marriage of the Heavenly Courts, Elder Moon paced back and forth and kept thinking. Soon, he made up his mind and walked to the rear hall.

Qi Yuan’s marriage... I’ll look again. If there are any signs, I’ll arrange it!
