My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 381 - Guardian! The Most “Gentle” Ancestor of the Magi!

Chapter 381 Guardian! The Most “Gentle” Ancestor of the Magi!

At the core of the inner city of Fengdu City, there was an Immortal Island floating above the abyss. It was a vertical disc that was surrounded by a glow. In the dim and low world, countless streams of light that looked like fireflies flew over from all directions and were absorbed by the huge disc. There was an endless stream of living souls walking on the ten huge pitch-black chains. They were escorted from the Tenth Yama Hall to the front of the Reincarnation Disc by the Netherworld servants...

It was not the first time Li Changshou had seen such a situation.

He saw the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc again. He had also sent someone to reincarnate. However, Li Changshou’s mentality was completely different this time.

The last time, he had a faint sense of peace and joy when he sent Aunt-Master Jiang Yu to reincarnate. He had let go of his worries and made up for the regrets in his master’s limited immortal life.

This time, he felt vexed.

It was very frustrating!

“Moo ~ Lord Water God, when that Lord went to undergo the tribulation, could it be that you were already... this from the Heavenly Courts?” “Stop spouting nonsense!” Li Changshou looked at the thumb beside him and said seriously, “The Heavenly Courts are meant to protect the stability of the world and the order of the Three Realms. You can’t say that! The Deity Position does not represent authority. You and I are just living beings who are assisting the Heavenly Dao.”

Ox-head and Horse-face hurriedly nodded. They wanted to say some words of praise and flattery, but they realized that this matter was too difficult for their Magi... Logically speaking, if it was not for the sake of making them reasonable fools, why would the Pangu God give them strong bodies and the combat power to kill powerful prey without using their brains?

The three of them followed the huge chain under the Yama Hall and flew towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation below.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and decided to... ask around.

Li Changshou asked via voice transmission, “Fellow Daoists, the Lady of Earth is an elder. How should I describe her?” How should he describe it? Ox-head muttered with a frown, “Water God, we don’t know how to answer your sudden question. Moo.”

Horse-face kept stroking his smooth mane and explained, “Lord Water God, the two of us have only seen the Lady of Earth in ancient times. After the Netherworld was established, we have only heard her speak a few times. However, don’t worry. The Goddess is the most gentle ancestor of the Magi!”

The most gentle ancestor... That’s good. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. Yes, the previous Goddess I met was purely an accident. The Lady of Earth should be an existence similar to... Fairy Yun Xiao of my Dao Sect. The Lady of Earth transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, benefiting countless living beings!

He did not know what kind of demeanor she should have!

With that faint anticipation, Li Changshou was led to the Immortal Island by Ox-head and Horse-face.

He could clearly sense that the universe was being extended

The Reincarnation Island, which looked like it was crowded outside, was actually very vast. The eighteen levels of hell that were suppressed below was actually equivalent to eighteen Small Worlds. “Sir, come here.” Horse-face made an inviting gesture and led Li Changshou to the side of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

If he wanted to see the Lady of Earth, he naturally could not take the reincarnation path.

Beside the seven-colored disc, there were two huge stone statues that were heavily guarded by the Netherworld. The two statues were a man and a woman. They corresponded to Yin and Yang and were kneeling on one knee. They were over tens of thousands of feet tall and were like mountains.

They were like the base of the disc. The Dao runes contained in them touched Li Changshou. The two stone statues carried the Reincarnation Disc on their backs, as if they were using their shoulders to carry the weight of the reincarnation of living beings. Afterwards...

Where should I go? Li Changshou frowned and looked at the stone statue in front of him. He scanned it with his immortal senses but did not find any doors, array formations, or restrictions.

Ox-head and Horse-face continued to lead the way, leading Li Changshou to a cliff. If Li Changshou’s common sense was correct, he should be at the front of the stone statue.

Horse-face took out the stone tablet bestowed by King Qinguang and waved it in front of him. Then, Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other. Their eyes revealed a hint of seriousness as they took a deep breath.

“Ox, are you ready?”

“Horse, you forgot to neigh. Moo.”

Are these two Battle Magi going to use some secret Magi curse?

Li Changshou immediately perked up. He had always been very interested in the secret curse of the Magi that could affect the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth without using the power of the essence soul!

In the next moment, the two Soul-Reaping Marshals shouted in unison, “Goddess! The Heavenly Courts’ Water God requests to see you! He has something to discuss!” A beam of light shot out from the smooth cliff and shone on Li Changshou’s paper effigy, pulling it away.

At this moment!

There was an advanced person ahead!

Li Changshou’s vision turned black. He had completely lost contact with the paper effigy... Eh?

What?

My paper effigy had lost contact with my main body?! In the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou’s main body emerged from a dark corner and pinched his fingers to deduce.

His incarnation was not destroyed. The current situation was purely a technical problem. There was a special Small World in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk. There was no way to communicate with the Primordial World. Even a paper effigy incarnation like his, who had “telepathic abilities”, would lose its senses after entering that universe!

What should I do?

The wisp of the Jade Emperor’s soul is still on the paper effigy!

Could it be that I have to go to the Netherworld with my true body? I have to enter an unknown, unfamiliar, and absolutely sealed place. I might even be able to block the senses of the Saint?

Although the Lady of Earth is benevolent and probably would not do anything to me... What if something unexpected happens?

It would not be stable at all for him to go there with his true body!

Li Changshou was thinking about how he should deal with that situation. After hesitating for a while, he still could not make up his mind.

Suddenly, he sensed the existence of the paper effigy and immediately shifted his attention!

In the Netherworld, beside the Reincarnation Disc.

Ox-head, Horse-face, and the surrounding Netherworld messengers of death who were watching the fun tilted their heads and looked at a light black vortex that appeared on the mountain wall.

A soft snort sounded from the vortex. An old Daoist priest with white hair and white beard was spat out by the vortex. He rolled on the ground twice, and the immortal power in his body seemed to be about to dissipate at any moment! The vortex disappeared... The surroundings were silent! Ox-head’s face turned pale as he shouted, “Goddess! Think thrice, moo! This is the Heavenly Courts’ God of Power, moo! The immortal whom the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts trusts the most is the new disciple of the Saint of Ren School, the close friend of the various big shots of the Dao Sect, Moo!” Horse-face stared blankly at the scene. His smooth mane was in a mess in the cool breeze.

“It’s over. We have... declared war on the Heavenly Courts...”

Fortunately, the fingers of the old Daoist priest on the ground trembled in time. He slowly got up, and immortal light flickered all over his body. He quickly recovered from his battered state and restored his immortal demeanor.

Li Changshou immediately checked the items on his body. The Jade Emperor’s soul was not lost, and the paper effigy he had prepared was fine.

However...

Why are there two holes in the soles of my feet? There are even a few thin needle marks on my fingers.

The two strands of hair on my back seemed to have been braided...

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. He suddenly had a bad premonition. “Ahem!” Li Changshou cleared his throat and used his immortal power to fill the hole in his foot. He said smilingly, “Something went wrong with my incarnation. Fellow Daoists, can you invite a Yama Lord over and ask him to ask the Empress about this on my behalf?” Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other, and the two of them hurriedly agreed. Ox-head turned around and ran far away. It could be said that he was riding on a cloud of dust. Li Changshou continued to size up the paper effigy. The Goddess is the most gentle ancestor of the Magi. Are you sure?

Not long after, King Qinguang and King Chujiang rushed over. When they saw Li Changshou standing there, they heaved a sigh of relief. “Water God, don’t blame me.” King Qin Guang smiled and said, “We were careless. We did not consider that your incarnation is different.” The so-called being different meant that most incarnations in the Primordial World had a certain level of self-awareness.

However, Li Changshou’s paper effigy had obviously taken another path. Only his main body had a “brain”. The other paper effigies were all puppets. The two incarnation techniques had their advantages and disadvantages. The paper effigy mystical ability that Li Changshou had created was clearly more suitable for his own situation.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Can I invite the two of you to enter this realm and ask the Empress?” King Qinguang and King Chujiang looked at each other and immediately nodded in agreement. “Yes, yes.” “If we have offended you previously, don’t take it to heart. We are only grateful to you, Water God. Otherwise, we would not have allowed you to approach the Goddess.”

“Of course not.” Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute. The two Yama Lords turned around and walked to the cliff. They shouted loudly and were drawn in by two beams of light.

It was really a voice-control door.

Li Changshou carefully thought about it. At that moment, he realized that there seemed to be a little scheme by the Netherworld.

The other party seems to want me to come into contact with the Lady of Earth?

Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. If that was the case, it would probably be difficult for him to see that ancient mighty figure in the future...

If there was no need, his main body could not move.

After a few breaths, another vortex appeared on the mountain wall. King Qinguang and King Chujiang jumped out and looked at Li Changshou apologetically. King Chu Jiang said, “Water God, the Lady of Earth already knows about this. The Six Paths of Reincarnation are ready. We can enter the cycle of reincarnation at any time.” King Qinguang smiled and said, “Water God, don’t take today’s matter to heart. We really don’t know...” “There’s no need to mention that.” Li Changshou smiled and made an inviting gesture. He was already determined to not bother about it and not think too much about it. He wanted to focus on completing his task and return to the Heavenly Courts as soon as possible.

King Qinguang made an inviting gesture. Li Changshou bowed and invited the two Yama Lords to return to the Yama Hall together.

However, just as the two Yama Lords turned around, Li Changshou was speechless.

Behind King Qinguang, there was a light green turtle formed from immortal power!

The turtle was drawn in a lifelike manner. If one used their immortal senses to examine it, they would find that it was empty. However, they could see it clearly with their naked eyes.

He then looked behind King Chu Jiang and saw a portrait of a woman lying on her side. The painting was rather exquisite, so much so that there was some sound!

The Goddess is the most gentle ancestor of the Magi.

Ox-head and Horse-face trembled when they saw that and hurriedly pounced forward. The scene fell into a small commotion.

Li Changshou looked up at the solemn stone statue and felt relieved. He had not acted on impulse and sent his main body to the Netherworld. If he ignored the little accident that happened in the middle, the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor’s soul would be very smooth. Li Changshou was very satisfied with the rich and fulfilling life trajectory set up by the ten Yama Lords for the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor, who had reincarnated, would be born in an ordinary family of the City Lord of the South Continent. He would become the only son of the City Lord. Since he was young, he would be smart, handsome, and carefree. He would have childhood sweethearts and beautiful girls...

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the City Lord’s surname was also Hua.

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao had a premonition and gave the Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Hua Ritian, some benefits? Li Changshou suddenly felt that it was very likely that the Jade Emperor had been arranged by the Heavenly Dao! After Li Changshou finished reading the script, King Qinguang wrote it into the Book of Life and Death. Then, the ten Yama Lords moved out together and temporarily cleared the area around the Six Paths of Reincarnation Li Changshou held the brocade box and sent the wisp of soul to the door of light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Li Changshou remained calm. He sensed the profundities of reincarnation at a close distance. Under the gazes of the ten Yama Lords, he flicked the light spot into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Boom! Boom!

The Netherworld suddenly rumbled with thunder. Purple-red lightning dragons appeared in the low sky. The endless ghosts trembled. The Netherworld servants trembled in fear. A resplendent golden light shot out from the back of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. The golden light soared into the sky and disappeared into the depths of the Netherworld.

The sea of blood surged and the ferocious beasts roared. The living beings in the Netherworld fell into panic. In the South Continent, rays of light appeared in the world. All kinds of auspicious signs appeared in various parts of the South Continent. Auspicious beasts that only existed in legends were galloping in the sky. Immortal light surrounded the Heavenly Courts, and the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was enveloped by the lightning curtain... At that moment, in front of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc of the Netherworld, rays of golden light descended and surrounded the ten Yama Lords.

Merit!

It was a huge amount of merit!

Li Changshou quickly reacted. He knew that the Jade Emperor’s soul had reincarnated this time to make up for the incomplete Heavenly Dao and perfectly connect the Heaven, Earth, and the Three Realms. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao had sent merit to reward them for making that happen.

However, most of the ten Yama Lords did not understand what had happened. King Chu Jiang asked in confusion, “We helped him cheat. Why are we following the Heavenly Dao?” Li Changshou smiled.

While sending the Jade Emperor to reincarnate, Li Changshou had already arranged for the paper effigy to secretly guard the South Continent.

After he, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, finished doing that, he thanked the ten Yama Lords and bade them farewell. He brought Ao Yi to meet up with the Heavenly Soldiers and returned to the Heavenly Courts.

In the carriage, Li Changshou took out an ancient book related to talismans and read it carefully. However, he kept thinking about the tragic state of his paper effigy after he lost contact with it. When the paper effigy was isolated from his main body, Li Changshou’s paper effigy had left a portion of the power of his essence soul. However, that portion of the power of his essence soul did not record anything.

It seemed that those who had the title of ‘Goddess’ were all extraordinary existences.

Yes, except for Goddess Yun Xiao. In the decades that the Jade Emperor went to experience life, he had to spend more effort on the Heavenly Courts. I’ll meet General Dongmu tomorrow and drop by the Hall of Enlightenment. As for whether the Heavenly Courts will encounter any danger... With the Tushita Palace’s Grand Supreme Elder around, there would not be any problems. He would have to start working overtime again during his “hundred-year vacation”. When he returned to the Water God Residence, he did not see Princess Long Ji. Li Changshou did not pay much attention to her. He reckoned that she must have left for something.

However, just as he returned to the study and was about to shift his attention back to the Little Qiong Peak to tease his master, Long Ji rushed over on a cloud. When she entered the Water God Residence, she exclaimed softly, “Teacher, Teacher! Mother wants to invite you to the Jade Pool!” Li Changshou recalled the “conspiracy” between him and the Jade Emperor. That scene was actually within their expectations. However, he did not expect it to come so quickly. “Alright.” Li Changshou stood up calmly and walked out of the study. Long Ji walked forward quickly and frowned slightly. When she saw that there was no one around, she sent a voice transmission. “Teacher, Mother seems to be very angry. When I came over, her expression was a little scary.” Li Changshou smiled. “Don’t worry. Her Majesty will not make things difficult for a small Water God like me.”

At most, he would just betray his teammate. Who asked the Jade Emperor to cause such a huge commotion when his soul was reincarnated?
