Chapter 389 Shang Dynasty (2)
Why is Master Zhao here? Li Changshou really did not expect that. He had considered attacking together with Kong Xuan. There was a small chance that he would alarm the experts of Chan School to come and stop the fight. However, Master Zhao’s descent from the sky was indeed beyond imagination. Big Sister Kong’s Five-colored Divine Light, Master Zhao’s Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, and the two top experts below the Primordial Saint were holding two types of powerful mystical abilities and Dharma treasures. At the same time, they were trying to trip Daoist Randeng up! There was Daoist Randeng who did not have the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls to deduce the twenty-four heavens...
It was not complete!
However, Randeng was now the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. Just as Li Changshou had said previously, no matter how good the opportunity was, he could not really touch Randeng. At the very least, he could not let the disciples of the Dao Sect do it.
Li Changshou had previously considered using someone else to kill him. He had sent the coffin lamp flying twice because of that. However, he could not bear to cheat Kong Xuan...
Li Changshou, Kong Xuan, and Zhao Gongming sent a voice transmission. The three figures rushed towards Randeng at the same time. However, Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming were as relaxed as if they were taking a stroll. Kong Xuan, on the other hand, was rushing at full speed with the Five-colored Divine Light. He rushed to Burning Lamp’s side and began to release the Five-colored Divine Light continuously from less than ten feet away. When Li Changshou rode a cloud and flew forward, he did not forget to shout, “Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan’s extreme speed mystical ability is really astonishing. I can’t make it in time.” When Zhao Gongming “plunged” downwards, he sighed. “The mystical abilities of the Phoenix Clan are indeed extraordinary! Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, please show mercy. You can’t kill the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School!” “Hmph!”
Kong Xuan used his nasal voice to express his dissatisfaction. The Five-colored Divine Light continued to brush at the lamp.
They sealed his cultivation level and senses, and searched for treasures...
Not long after, a numinous treasure and a small pile of precious materials appeared behind Kong Xuan.
It was an ultimate killing mystical ability, but now, it was being used as a wonderful technique.
Most of the numinous treasures were ordinary Postnatal numinous treasures. There were also a few Connate numinous treasures with astonishing spirituality. For example, the 108 prayer beads, a purple-gold alms bowl, and two pearls that contained astonishing Dao runes.
When Kong Xuan refreshed the page, his expression was filled with contempt. Although he did not stop attacking, he did not touch the items that he had obtained. He only threw them behind him using the divine light. Below, the immortals from the Dao Immortal Sect and the Immortal Du Sect looked up at the scene that was happening. They would definitely look for their chins on the ground later. What... is going on? The ancient mighty figures, the big shots of the Dao Sect, the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, and Daoist Randeng, who was of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones, were lying on their heads. They were fixed by the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and brushed by the Five-colored Divine Light. Apart from their robes...
His storage Dharma treasures were almost depleted!
Who could not tell? Today, the Water God of Ren School, Gongming of Jie School, and Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan had joined forces to plot against Randeng!
However, the main person who was attacking was the powerful Kong Xuan. The other two were shouting, “Stop fighting! Fellow Daoist, let him go!”
This...
Are all the famous big shots of the Primordial World so shameless, ahem, so cute? On careful thought, it was Daoist Randeng who attacked Kong Xuan first. It would not be too difficult for him to recover later. The only thing that is difficult to deal with is that he had insulted Chan School... If Randeng does not have the title of Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, he would probably have been melted by the Five-colored Divine Light! The Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou, stood with his hands behind his back. He sighed softly and said to Exalted Wang Qing, who was beside him, “Fugui, the difference between us and true experts is far beyond just our cultivation levels.” “That’s right.” Exalted Wang Qing looked at the Five-colored Divine Light that kept appearing. “Who said that mystical abilities are inferior to Dharma treasures? We are indeed far inferior. Let’s cultivate.” “No, no, no. Ahem!” Ji Wuyou shook his head and replied via voice transmission, “This kind of mystical ability mainly depends on talent and cannot be achieved through cultivation. I’m talking about the Dao of scheming and shaming. Look, the Water God and Senior Gongming are going to stop this mighty figure of the Phoenix Clan. They are going to continue putting on an act. I wonder what method they will use to end this.”
Exalted Wang Qing thought for a while and replied, “Sect Leader, will Senior Water God kill this Deputy Sect Master?”
“Impossible.” A faint smile appeared on Ji Wuyou’s lips. “This is not the ancient times. Randeng can taunt and make things difficult for him only because he obtained the position of Deputy Sect Master from the Saint. Randeng cannot damage the Saint’s pride. However, killing the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School would definitely cause a commotion in the Dao Sect. Even Senior Water God and Senior Zhao Gongming would have to pay a huge price.” Exalted Wang Qing nodded slowly and pondered carefully.
He believed that he had not cultivated for long and did not know much about the twists and turns of the Primordial World. He could not compare to an old combat unit like the Sect Leader...
Looking at the sky, Li Changshou casually pulled the Spirit Coffin Lamp back with his immortal power.
He could sense that the spirit of the Spirit Coffin Lamp was resisting frantically. Clearly, it was a treasure that was fated with the lamp. He could not really hold it.
However, other things... Li Changshou looked at the small pile of precious materials. Just a small piece of them was extremely valuable.
Hence, he slipped and fell behind Kong Xuan.
Coincidentally, he lay on the pile of precious materials and quickly stood up. The pile of precious materials was reduced by 30%! Li Changshou praised, “Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan’s mystical ability has caused the surrounding universe to become distorted!” Kong Xuan smiled without saying a word. Zhao Gongming also made a turn in the air and used his natural advantage to slide in an elegant arc in the air. He accurately laid on the small pile of precious materials and immediately stood up. The precious materials that were hard to find now were reduced by 30%! Zhao Gongming frowned. “You’re really powerful. The sudden loss of control of my Sea-Calming Divine Pearl should be related to your Five-Element mystical abilities.”
Kong Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The expert from the Phoenix Clan turned around and looked at the spoils of war with Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming. Kong Xuan’s eyes did not waver. He said calmly, “Gentlemen, I’m definitely going to kill this Randeng today!”
“No, Fellow Daoist!”
Li Changshou looked at the Glazed Pagoda and grabbed the rampaging Cosmic Ruler. Then, he put the pagoda back into his sleeve.
He was not coveting any treasures. Although the Glazed Pagoda was a good Connate numinous treasure that could be used for both attack and defense, it was a treasure that Li Jing was destined to obtain. Li Jing, the future Heavenly King Li, was relying on this Glazed Pagoda that could suppress Nezha.
Li Jing was currently cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect. Li Changshou had also taken the opportunity to obtain the pagoda. Next, he could completely sever the connection between the Heavenly Courts’ Generalissimo and the Buddhist Sect! That was Li Changshou’s test of the Heavenly Dao’s bottom line.
Moreover, the Glazed Pagoda was nothing compared to the Grand Pure One who had obtained the merit of becoming a Saint. At the side, Zhao Gongming saw that Li Changshou had taken away the Glazed Pagoda, but he was in trouble... Apart from the lamp that he could not take away, none of the treasures of Randeng caught his eye. He was not the one who was greedy when he took the precious materials just now. Firstly, he wanted to go through thick and thin with his future brother-in-law. Secondly, those precious materials were not useless. He could bring them back for his juniors to refine. Zhao Gongming was not interested in money! The treasures in Randeng’s collection were all ancient and rare. However, if he took these numinous treasures, people would think that he, Zhao Gongming, was inexperienced... At that moment, Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head. He blinked at Li Changshou and moved towards Kong Xuan. He cupped his hands and began to persuade Kong Xuan to show mercy. The remaining precious materials were naturally left for Kong Xuan. Unfortunately, with Kong Xuan’s pride, he would definitely not take them... It was a bargain. The words of the three big shots echoed in the starry sky. “Fellow Daoist, you have the upper hand now,” Zhao Gongming said. “After all, Randeng is the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School. Treat it as letting him off this time on my account.”
Kong Xuan said coldly, “If I don’t kill him today, wouldn’t I be in trouble if he ambushes me in the future?”
“Fellow Daoist, you can’t think that way!”
Li Changshou hurriedly corrected him. “Today, Deputy Sect Master Randeng attacked you first. You are also unwilling to be humiliated and so you retaliated in anger. Deputy Sect Master Randeng is a legendary figure of the Primordial World and a top-notch mighty figure. How can he be so shameless? If he loses to you today, will he ambush you tomorrow? If that’s the case, it would be deliberately damaging Chan School’s reputation and harming the Dao Sect’s reputation.” Kong Xuan nodded slowly and revealed a faint smile.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t argue with him on account of you two.”
He suddenly heard a cry. It was an elder of Chan School below. At that moment, he was furious. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Kong Xuan swept his gaze across the disciples of Chan School.
An old man’s face turned red. Just as he was about to go forward and scold him, a few large hands suddenly slapped him and pressed him down! Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, the people below are from the Dao Sect. Let me explain to them.”
Kong Xuan replied, “Fellow Daoist, please go ahead.” Li Changshou cupped his hands at the immortals of the Daowei Immortal Sect below and said loudly, “Everyone has witnessed what happened tonight. Deputy Sect Master Randeng attacked Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan first, but he was restrained by Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan. Fortunately, he was saved by the Jie School. I’m the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. Today, I’m willing to be a mediator between Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan and Deputy Sect Master Randeng. The karma between Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan and Deputy Sect Master Randeng will be severed!” After saying that, Li Changshou turned around and retracted his smile. He placed the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda above his head and bowed deeply towards the Kunlun Mountain. “I beg the Saint to be enlightened! Previously, Deputy Sect Master Randeng and I had conflicting opinions about the dragon race and had formed a feud. Today, Deputy Sect Master Randeng intends to plot against me. I have invited two good friends to help. I, Saint Yan Zun, have always remembered what the disciples of the Dao Sect should do. I have no intention to offend the dignity of Chan School! If the Saint wants to punish me, I will follow it. At this moment, it has nothing to do with my two good friends.” Li Changshou bowed thrice. Zhao Gongming, who was at the side, walked forward and bowed to the Kunlun Mountain with a smile.
Kong Xuan thought for a while and walked to the other side of Li Changshou. He bowed to Kunlun Mountain and calmly said his name. “Kong Xuan of the phoenix race has no intention of offending the might of the Saints.” After the three of them bowed, a beam of purple light suddenly flew over from the northwest! The power of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was instantly dissolved by the rays of light. The rays of light contained some extremely mysterious Dao runes that wrapped around the lamp that had been sealed by the Five-colored Divine Light... Randeng immediately regained his freedom. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He immediately grabbed his Spirit Coffin Lamp, his eyes filled with fear.
However, his cultivation level was still sealed by the Five-colored Divine Light. He did not have the strength to fight at all. Was it the Primordial Beginning Saint?
He had broken the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and the Five-colored Divine Light so easily!
It was a stark contrast to a Daoist who had to plot against Kong Xuan to win!
At that moment, another white crane flew over from the west. On it stood a strange-looking old man.
Why was it strange? The old man’s forehead seemed to have been hit by a rock, and it bulged forward. Apart from that, the old man had a kind expression. He held a peachwood staff in his hand. He did not reveal any Dao runes, but there was a certain auspicious aura circulating around him, making him feel peaceful and comfortable. The South Pole Immortal! The hidden expert of Chan School! How could he be weak when he was cultivating with the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning in the small courtyard of the Three Pure Ones? The immortal elder squinted and smiled. In the blink of an eye, he arrived and bowed to Li Changshou, Zhao Gongming, and Kong Xuan. The South Pole Immortal said warmly, “I’m here on Teacher’s orders to fetch Deputy Sect Master Randeng back to the Jade Void Palace. You can deal with the matter regarding Water God Changgeng.” Li Changshou bowed to the Kunlun Mountain again. “I thank the Saint for his understanding.” The South Pole Immortal smiled again and said, “Junior Brother Changgeng, Teacher has often praised you in recent years. There are not many disciples in Ren School. You can help Uncle-Master solve his problems, help the Heavenly Courts, and protect the Heavenly Dao’s order. They are all top-notch things. You are a talent who can shoulder the burden of the Dao Sect. If Changgeng has nothing else to do, come to the Jade Void Palace and have a
seat.”
Li Changshou immediately looked happy. He bowed to the South Pole Immortal and shouted, “Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother Immortal. I will definitely visit Kunlun Mountain when I’m free.” Yes, I’ll make myself unavailable all the time. “Alright.” The South Pole Immortal smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at the disheveled Randeng. Even though the immortal was gentle and knowledgeable, his rosy face could not help but tremble.
He was an ancient mighty figure after all. Why... “Deputy Sect Master, today’s matter is not a misunderstanding. Let’s return to Kunlun Mountain to rest.”
At that moment, Randeng knew the situation he was in. He forced himself to remain calm and quietly put away the treasures placed beside him. He did not ask where his pagoda had gone or why most of the treasures had shrunk. He turned around and flew towards Kunlun Mountain. “Deputy Sect Master Randeng!” Li Changshou suddenly shouted loudly. He took the weak Cosmic Ruler from Kong Xuan and used his immortal power to push it over. “You dropped your ruler!” Randeng subconsciously clenched his fists, but he only turned his head and smiled. “Thank you.”
After saying that, Randeng retracted the Cosmic Ruler and turned around. He returned to the Jade Void Palace with the South Pole Immortal.
Before Randeng and the South Pole Immortal could fly far away, Li Changshou’s mumbling echoed in the world...
“Sigh, in terms of self-restraint, I’m far inferior to a senior expert.” Randeng raised his hand to support his chest. Seriously, he almost vomited blood. When the white crane carried the South Pole Immortal and disappeared into the horizon with the lamp, Li Changshou looked at the Immortal Sect of Chan School below. He condensed a cloud and descended with Zhao Gongming and Kong Xuan... The immortals from the Daowei Immortal Sect did not dare to move. At that moment, they realized sadly that the Water God could give them any orders.
Dao Weizi of the Jade Void Palace took the initiative to welcome him. A sincere and a little afraid smile appeared on his face.
Li Changshou did not make things difficult for the Dao Immortal Sect, nor did he forcefully interfere with the battle in the Honglin Kingdom. The destiny of the Honglin Kingdom had collapsed, and the foundation of the nation’s destiny was gone. The only thing Li Changshou could do was to make the Dao Mini Immortal Sect restrain the two tribes from that moment onwards. He ordered them not to commit any more sins and not to kill anyone who was surrendered. He also told them to let go of the King’s line of succession in the Honglin Kingdom.
Apart from that, the Daowei Immortal Sect took the initiative to offer the Middle Continent Kingdom that they controlled to the Immortal Du Sect.
At that moment, Li Changshou was using the identity of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God to move around. He only asked them to discuss the matter with the Immortal Du Sect. As long as there was no conflict between the two sects, he would not interfere.
After settling that matter, Li Changshou made an inviting gesture to Kong Xuan in front of the hundreds of immortals from the two immortal sects and landed on the ground with Kong Xuan.
At that moment, he had to differentiate between the Water God and the main body.
His main body, which had been protecting Youqin Xuanya, bowed to the paper effigy and Kong Xuan and retreated to the side.
At that moment, Youqin Xuanya had also received Li Changshou’s instructions. She stood up, held her sword, and bowed to the “Water God”. “Disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, Princess Youqin Xuanya of the Honglin Kingdom greets the Water God! Today, the Honglin Kingdom has suffered a calamity. I don’t know what to do next. Please help me, Water God!”
She wanted to give the Heavenly Courts a reason to interfere with mortal affairs.
The Water God said warmly, “I have already seen how you are fearless and indomitable in order to save your loved ones. The Heavenly Courts lack talents like you. Are you willing to serve the Heavenly Courts later?”
Youqin Xuanya was stunned.
Li Changshou had not given him any instructions previously, but he had already given the answer. “No matter what the Water God asks later, you have to return to the mountain and ask for Master’s permission.”
“I have to go back to the mountain and ask for your permission, Master!” “Okay.”
The “Water God” nodded with a smile. He had completed the calculations on Youqin Xuanya perfectly. Then, he gestured for Youqin Xuanya to leave and walked towards Youqin Xuanya’s eldest sister-in-law.
That was the key person tonight. Li Changshou asked warmly, “I’m the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts. Can you let me sense the child in your stomach?”
“Yes.” The young woman lowered her head and answered. She hurriedly stood up.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and pointed his right hand at the woman’s abdomen. A faint golden color appeared on his palm.
It was him.
Li Changshou stood on the spot and fell into deep thought. All kinds of insights emerged in his heart. It was as if there was some kind of guidance that pointed out a path.
A moment later, Li Changshou opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
“I am the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. I am under the orders of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. I will temporarily represent the Heavenly Courts with General Dongmu! Heavenly Dao, please listen. I have a request!”
Boom
A golden cloud flew over from the sky and slowly circled above the Honglin Kingdom. The rich Heavenly Dao power contained in it made the Qi Refinement cultivators uncomfortable.
Li Changshou looked down at the young woman and Xuanya’s mother beside her.
“Today, Xuanya is inviting you. We have an opportunity. I can give your child a Heavenly Fate. He and his descendants will lead your Honglin tribe to establish a new country. It will be even more prosperous than before. However, there are three immortal conditions that you have to follow. The first condition is that any ruler of a new country would die of old age. If he violated the Heavenly Fate, his soul would be destroyed and he could not be reincarnated!
The second requirement is that the new nation would require the Celestial Thearch to worship the heavens and the earth.Thirdly, immortals cannot be raised in the country. The Heavenly Emperor will protect you. Are you willing?” The young woman hurriedly looked at her mother, who was beside her. The latter hurriedly nodded. The young woman immediately knelt down in front of Li Changshou. “Immortal Jian Di’s decree.”
“Alright.” Li Changshou swept his right hand at the woman. The golden cloud in the sky emitted rays of golden light and gathered at the woman’s abdomen in the blink of an eye.
A golden circular brand appeared on the woman’s forehead. She muttered softly, “I have to go east...”
“Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, please come over.”
Li Changshou made an inviting gesture to Kong Xuan beside him and said to the dozen or so women, “This is the Divine Bird Immortal of the Phoenix Clan. He will take you away from here later and protect your new country for a hundred years. You have to use the totems of your new country to thank him.” The young woman lowered her head and said, “Yes.”
Kong Xuan revealed a faint smile. His eyes were filled with peace. He sighed and said, “I never expected it to be so fast.”
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou smiled and said.
“The Phoenix Clan owes you a huge favor.”
At that moment, Zhao Gongming landed from the sky and scolded jokingly, “Why are you suddenly so serious? I’m not used to it. I’m really happy today!If you are done with your business, find a place nearby and have a few drinks?”
Li Changshou and Kong Xuan agreed. Kong Xuan used the Five-colored Divine Light to protect the dozen or so women from the Honglin Kingdom. He asked them to reorganize themselves there. Later, they would rush over and meet up. Then, he would leave on a cloud with Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming...
In the corner, Li Changshou and Youqin Xuanya looked at each other. The latter’s expression was a little strange. “Senior Brother...”
“Huh?”
Youqin Xuanya was puzzled. “I’m weak. What can I do in the Heavenly Courts?”. “Who knows?” Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. “I can’t guess the thoughts of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God.”
