My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 380 - “Normal”

Chapter 380 “Normal”

Look, what has happened recently?

Putting aside the fact that Ksitigarbha had made a move to cause trouble, it was a normal battle between the Dao Sect and the Western Sect. Generally speaking, there was a winner and a loser. However, following closely behind...

First, there was a problem with his master’s marriage. Goddess Nuwa had pulled the red strings for him.

Before this wave ended, the Jade Emperor suddenly decided to descend to the mortal world to train himself, pursue the perfection of the Great Dao, and experience the life and death of Postnatal living beings...

Even though Li Changshou had sufficient conventional battle tactics, he felt a headache over it and felt helpless.

They are all free!

Ahem, one involved the Goddess of Saints, and the other was his superior. He could not say anything.

Fortunately, from the looks of it, the matter his master was involved in was a trivial one. Although the Jade Emperor’s matter was huge, he had listened to his advice and chose a more reliable plan.

He decided to make the divine soul descend to the mortal world.

Postnatal living beings had souls when they were born. After stepping onto the path of cultivation, their souls could transform into demonic souls, immortal souls, and condense an essence soul. Connate lifeforms like the Jade Emperor were known as Essence Soul immortals when they transformed. Most of them called their essence souls divine souls. Originally, the Jade Emperor had planned to pass through the Six Paths of Reincarnation and take a trip in the world. After experiencing some calamities and gaining some enlightenment, he would immediately restore the Jade Emperor’s true body and return to the Heavenly Courts.

However, that was a little risky. The Heavenly Courts would also have a ‘crisis period’ where they lacked a ruler for decades.

After Li Changshou’s effortless “advice”, the Jade Emperor easily accepted Li Changshou’s proposal. Next, the Jade Emperor would split a wisp of his soul and make himself fall into a deep sleep. He would use that wisp of soul to experience a real dream.

Compared to the Jade Emperor’s original plan, there were no disadvantages to doing that. There were many benefits.

There were a total of four benefits that the Jade Emperor could see.

Firstly, the Jade Emperor could wake up from his slumber at any time to deal with emergency situations.

Secondly, even if the matter of him being reincarnated and gaining enlightenment in the mortal world was revealed and someone tried to take advantage of it to scheme against him, the Jade Emperor would not encounter any danger.

Thirdly, it was more secretive and not easily known by others. Fourthly, if the Queen Mother asked, it would be easier to explain... However, there were actually five more benefits. However, very few people would consider that Li Changshou might be worrying for nothing. He had to prevent the Jade Emperor’s personality from changing because of the reincarnation tribulation.

To the Jade Emperor, decades were not considered long.

His Majesty was also excited. He asked Li Changshou to wait for a while and sent a jade token to the Jade Pool.

Then, the Jade Emperor sealed the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and announced to the public that he had gained some insights and wanted to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. He ordered General Dongmu and the Water God to gather at the Hall of Enlightenment and discuss the matters of the Heavenly Courts.

If there was an urgent matter, the Queen Mother at the Jade Pool could make decisions.

The Jade Emperor took less than two hours to do that!

Even on the Immortal Du Sect’s side, before the Qing Qiu Clan and the vixen, Xiao Lan, left, Li Changshou had already “received” the Jade Emperor’s “spiritual light” in the Heavenly Courts and left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall that had begun to seal itself... It was not difficult to tell that the Jade Emperor had indeed been looking forward to this for a long time...

The Jade Emperor might not care about the power of merit produced by that matter. However, Li Changshou, a third-stage legitimate god who was in need of merit, naturally had to take the opportunity to deepen the connection between the Netherworld and the Heavenly Courts. A few decades later, when the Jade Emperor returned, Li Changshou still wanted to create a “big news”. He had already thought of the title — “The Jade Emperor Personally Experiences the Six Paths of Reincarnation And The Difficulties Of Living Beings!”

Uh, why does it seem like you’re trying to show that you are already a mature Jade Emperor and should embark on your journey... Li Changshou carefully placed the spiritual light in his sleeve and rode the paper effigy back to the Water God Residence. To be safe, he waited for an hour. When a paper effigy whose strength was comparable to that of a Golden Immortal arrived at the Heavenly Courts, he called Ao Yi to summon three thousand elite Heavenly River Navy troops to the Water God Residence.

In order to express his respect, Li Changshou placed the Jade Emperor’s soul in an exquisite jade box. He set up dozens of restrictions around it before putting it away in peace... Before Ao Yi arrived, Li Changshou focused his attention on the Immortal Du Sect again and watched the Qing Qiu Clan leave on the ship. As Li Changshou had expected, even if the vixen’s red string had already wrapped around his master’s clay figurine, their relationship would not develop smoothly. Qi Yuan still rejected the vixen Xiao Lan decisively. This time, he left some leeway and was willing to befriend her.

Regarding that, the vixen Xiao Lan was rather excited. She seemed to want to build a hut near the Immortal Du Sect and visit her good friend whenever she had nothing to do...

Li Changshou could not see what would happen next.

He even suspected that there was a huge scheme that involved the entire human race and the demons!

Let’s wait and see.

“Brother! I’ve brought my troops here!” Ao Yi, who was dressed in silver armor, walked over quickly from outside the Water God Residence. His helmet was tucked under his ribs. Although he looked like a young man, he was already rather heroic-looking Li Changshou stood up and shook his horsetail whisk. He smiled and said, “Let’s go. Follow me to the Netherworld.” Ao Yi cupped his fists and bowed. “Yes!” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Have you returned to the East Ocean recently? I’ve specially asked for an entry jade token for you at the Hall of Enlightenment. Don’t let Sister-in-law guard the pavilion alone.”

“Brother!”

Ao Yi was a little embarrassed. He mumbled, “I just returned yesterday. I’ll go back in a month at the very least.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He walked into the starry night. Just as he was about to continue teasing the little dragon, a beautiful figure jumped out from the side. “Teacher! What are you going to do? Bring me along!” Her voice was like that of a lark, and her body was light. She was dressed in a light blue short skirt and had her hair tied up slightly. She could also enter and leave the Divine Water Residence at will... Who else could it be other than Princess Long Ji?

What am I going to do?

The answer is simple: Send your father to reincarnation.

The detailed answer: Put your father’s soul in a small box and send it to the Netherworld to be reincarnated through connections and experience the life of a mortal!

Li Changshou said warmly, “I have something to do outside. Is there a problem that you don’t understand?”

“I’ll wait for you to come back before I ask for guidance, Teacher.”

Long Ji reacted quickly and replied with a smile. The moment Li Changshou said that he had something important to do, she stopped saying that she would go with him. That made Li Changshou feel comfortable.

Li Changshou immediately asked Long Ji to play in the Water God Residence. Then, he hurriedly left the residence with Ao Yi.

The three thousand Heavenly Soldiers and four others formed a long line. Ao Yi had also invited Li Changshou to enter a magnificent carriage. Two mighty beasts were pulling the carriage. The Heavenly Soldiers led the way, and the Heavenly Generals followed them. No one stopped them.

He really looked like an ordinary minister.

After leaving the East Heaven Gate and crossing the vast East Ocean, the Heavenly Soldiers each activated their immortal powers. Like a silver-white azure dragon, they followed and entered the Netherworld. The journey was as fast as lightning, the clouds rose and the fog followed. It attracted the attention of many Qi Refinement cultivators, and even caused the immortals who were rushing to the Netherworld to discuss. When they arrived outside the main gate of Fengdu City, a group of otherworldly soldiers walked forward and politely stopped the Heavenly Courts’ carriage. When they asked if it was the Water God in the carriage, they immediately made way and rushed back to Fengdu City to report. Not long after, the entire Fengdu City became lively. The Yama Lords of the Ten Halls gathered at the city gate and waited. Thirty of the most experienced of the Three Thousand Netherworld Judges had arrived. The other netherworld soldiers were countless. Ox-head and Horse-Face, the good helpers of the Water God who were also the representatives of the Netherworld Magi and had the deepest relationship with the Water God, were arranged to be in a relatively conspicuous position. Later on, they would be in charge of creating an atmosphere. The path to Fengdu City had been sealed. The immortals who had come to the Netherworld to work had also been told not to move for the time being.

The Heavenly Soldiers led the way while the otherworldly soldiers avoided them.

The carriage stopped and the Heavenly General reported.

Ao Yi said loudly, “Reporting to the Water God, we have arrived five kilometers outside Fengdu City!” In the carriage, Li Changshou put away the jade slip in his hand and tidied his white robe. He carried his horsetail whisk and lowered his head to leave the carriage. He immediately bowed to Fengdu City from afar.

“Let the troops wait here. The reincarnation land is where the Lady of Earth is. Don’t cause trouble for the Netherworld.”

“Okay!” Ao Yi cupped his fists and agreed. He ordered thirty Heavenly Soldiers to follow behind Li Changshou and rode a cloud towards Fengdu City. They exchanged pleasantries in front of the city and bowed. Li Changshou went straight to the point and smiled. “I have something important to discuss with the members of the Netherworld this time. Please find a secluded place and let us talk in detail.” “Water God, please!”

King Qinguang immediately made arrangements. He ordered the ghosts of the Yin Sect to disperse. The ten Yama Lords cooperated with Ox-head and Horse-face and led Li Changshou and Ao Yi to the Yama Hall.

When they arrived in the hall, King Qinguang insisted that Li Changshou take a seat. Li Changshou naturally refused. The reason that the Netherworld servants was able to show him that much respect was firstly because of the Heavenly Courts and secondly, because of the battle at the Demon Ascension Mountain. Li Changshou had resolved the danger of the extermination of the Magi in the North Continent. The ten Yama Lords had a high status in the Heavenly Dao. Li Changshou had always weighed his own weight in the most stable manner. Sitting on the stone chair that the Yama Lord had just ordered someone to move over, Li Changshou looked around and said, “Ao Yi, bring the Heavenly Soldiers to guard outside the hall.” When King Qinguang saw that, he immediately continued, “Other than Marshals Ox-head and Horse-face, all guards, retreat!”

At that moment, the Netherworld servants and the Heavenly Soldiers in the hall retreated, causing the majestic and gloomy hall to become empty.

“Ahem!” Li Changshou cleared his throat. The Yama Lord of the tenth hall, who was sitting at the side, and Ox-head and Horse-Face, who were standing beside him and did not dare to speak, leaned forward in unison, afraid that they would miss Li Changshou’s words. “Everyone, don’t be so nervous.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not difficult for the Netherworld.”

King Qinguang smiled and said, “How can it be difficult for the matters that the Water God has instructed? Those are all important matters! Moreover, they have stirred up the Heavenly Courts!” King Wuguan cupped his hands and smiled. “It’s all thanks to you, Water God, that the matter in the North Continent happened. We really don’t know how to repay you. If the Water God requests, we will do our best.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and took out the jade box from his sleeve.

“To be honest, I came to the Netherworld this time for public and private reasons. This matter has to be kept a secret for a hundred years. Don’t tell anyone about it!”

The ten Yama Lords widened their eyes and held their breaths. Li Changshou said, “I want everyone to help me send a wisp of my soul to reincarnate.” The Yama Hall immediately fell silent. One could hear the sound of a pin dropping, and the sound of a candle burning could be heard. It was only when Ox-head shouted, “Ah!” However, before Ox-head could say anything, Horse-face, who was at the side, kicked Ox-head to the ground. King Chujiang, who was a little closer, turned around and slapped him, causing Ox-head to see stars. “This is a serious matter.” King Qinguang said firmly, “However, no matter how difficult it is, the Netherworld will definitely do our best. The entire Netherworld will definitely help the Water God complete such a huge matter!” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m more at ease now. Everyone, please take a look.” He calmly undid the restrictions on the treasure box. There were wisps of golden merit on it. He directly used the merit to condense a white-robed young man’s meditating figure. “The person who is about to reincarnate is none other than the Jade Emperor of our Heavenly Courts.”

With a few thuds, a few stone chairs collapsed. The ten Yama Lords stood up.

At first, he was dumbfounded. Then, he looked at each other and almost knelt down... “The reincarnation of the Jade Emperor?”

“How can I do that? Is the Jade Emperor injured?”

“This seems to be a wisp of soul...”

“That’s right.” Li Changshou stood up and smiled. Then, he retracted his smile and said seriously, “This Emperor of ours is worried about the Three Realms and the commoners. However, because he has never experienced the suffering in the mortal world, he does not know the woes of mortals. Therefore, His Majesty used this wisp of soul to reincarnate. After experiencing the mortal world, he could comprehend the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Emperor Dao. Everyone, you must not leak this matter out, lest you ruin His Majesty’s cultivation.”

“Understood!”

“Don’t worry, Water God!” The Yama Lords of the ten halls immediately came forward and surrounded the brocade box. He muttered and discussed how to reincarnate, how to keep it a secret, and how to report this matter to the Lady of Earth.

Li Changshou quickly captured the key point...

The Lady of Earth?

He was surprisingly certain that the Lady of Earth, who had transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, could still communicate with the outside world!

That should be the trump card of the Netherworld and the last reliance of Fengdu City. Li Changshou did not ask further. The Yama Lords surrounded him and discussed.

Reincarnation was their profession.

Ox-head and Horse-face came over from the side and sized up the Jade Emperor’s soul curiously. His headgear shook...

Huh? Headgear... Li Changshou looked at the ten ferocious-looking Yan Lords and carefully identified them.

Indeed, there was a slight difference in color on his neck!

Soon, the ten Yama Lords discussed the matter. King Qinguang said, “Water God, we will definitely do our best to help you. However, there are two things. Firstly, how should the Life and Death Book determine the fate of the reincarnation? We don’t dare to make any rash decisions. If we let the Life and Death Book form on its own, what if His Majesty doesn’t like it... Apart from that, the Jade Emperor’s soul reincarnation is a wisp of his soul. It is also an earth-shattering matter. We still need the Goddess to agree to this. Otherwise, we will not dare to start the reincarnation. Why don’t I bring you to the Reincarnation Disc later and tell the Goddess about this? Don’t worry, the Goddess will definitely agree.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Yama Lord, you are right, this matter is very important. It’s reasonable for the Goddess to take care of it.

As for the future, His Majesty actually has a small request.”

Qin Guangwang shook his sleeves. The treasure light in his hand surged and condensed into a Judge’s Brush and a Book of Life and Death. At that moment, he might still be using the “original” of the Heavenly Dao Treasure.

“Water God, tell me!”

Li Changshou took out a scroll and handed it to Qin Guangwang. He looked a little awkward. “This is a small request from His Majesty. Ahem, His Majesty is going to experience the life of a mortal this time. The main point is to lead an ordinary life. Therefore, let’s choose an ordinary... wealthy family. He shall have ordinary childhood friends and have ordinary aspirations. His entire life has to be as ordinary and exciting as possible. The main point is that if His Majesty wants to experience what it’s like to be an elder brother, he has to focus on arranging an ordinary, beautiful little sister...” Beads of cold sweat immediately seeped out of Qin Guangwang’s forehead. However, he took a closer look at the scroll and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that half of the content was about the figure, appearance, and temperament of a reincarnated person. There were no substantial life arrangements.

“How about this?” King Qinguang smiled and said, “Why don’t you go to the Six Paths of Reincarnation first? I and the others will carefully set up a rough path for His Majesty here and let you take a look.” “Alright, thank you.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and thanked him. The Yama Lords hurriedly returned the gesture and gave Ox-head and Horse-face a stone talisman. They asked Ox-head and Horse-face to lead the Water God to the Reincarnation Mystic Realm. As soon as Li Changshou left, the ten Yama Halls gathered again and began to come up with an ordinary life story. The Lady of Earth... Li Changshou felt inexplicably nervous. At that moment, whenever he heard the word ‘Goddess’, he could not help but feel... traumatized.
