My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 488 - Golden Roc

Chapter 488 Golden Roc

In front of the Jade Void Palace, a white cloud slowly flew out with several figures and rushed towards Perfected Taiyi’s Qianyuan Mountain.

During Li Changshou’s trip to the Jade Void Palace this time, apart from being almost smashed by Perfected Taiyi with a golden brick, it was considered perfect. After tricking Randeng and obtaining the support of Chan School, he expressed his goodwill to Guang Chengzi and the other immortals...

However...

Perfected Huang Long, who had specially followed them, sent a voice transmission to them as soon as he left the Kunlun Mountain range. “Changgeng, why do you insist on making Deputy Sect Master Randeng the alliance leader? I heard from others that Deputy Sect Master Randeng seems to be closely related to the Western Sect. If he secretly causes trouble for you, wouldn’t it be...” Perfected Yu Ding smiled and said, “Changgeng has his own plans. Senior Brother, don’t worry.”

“I’m not too sure about that.” Perfected Taiyi put his hands in his sleeves and frowned at Li Changshou. “Although I helped you force out Randeng, I know that you have your own plans. However, after thinking about it... Junior Brother Changgeng, aren’t you finding trouble for yourself?” Ling Zhuzi was a little confused. He did not understand what the ‘elders’ were saying. Li Changshou heaved a long sigh. “I was helpless. I had to use Randeng to break the situation. In the beginning, I did not want the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of the Dao Sect to interfere in this matter lest they suffer a calamity. However, nothing is perfect. If I don’t borrow the power of the experts of the Dao Sect, I will really be unable to compete with the Western Sect.”

Perfected Yu Ding nodded to express his understanding. However, the smile on Perfected Taiyi’s lips was a little playful. ‘Easily revealed?’

‘As if I’d believe you!’

Perfected Huang Long was puzzled. “Why do you say that?”

“That’s a little off. My original intention was to provide the Western Sect with a few more options. The Immortal Alliance is meant to go against the Western Sect’s Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. The two parties are definitely enemies and the battle won’t stop until one of the parties dies. Originally, the Western Sect’s plan was to attack forcefully. Now that I have brought out Randeng myself and invited the experts of the Dao Sect to oversee it, I will promote Senior Brother Lu Yue’s poison technique later and pressure the Western Sect. The Western Sect will naturally weigh the pros and cons. As long as everything goes smoothly, there’s a high chance that the Western Sect will choose not to use force. They will use Deputy Sect Master Randeng and go easy on the Heavenly Courts.”

Li Changshou paused. He tapped his fingertips and drew a long river in front of him. “A river is narrower in the downstream, and the water flow will be faster. However, if we split the river from the side and allow it to flow downstream, the pressure on the river will be greatly reduced.”

Perfected Huang Long thought carefully for a while and smiled. “You can even plot like that? You’ve really broadened my horizons.”

“The Western Sect has been in charge of the Trichiliocosm for tens of thousands of years. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult for them to win.”

Li Changshou continued, “There are naturally other considerations. Deputy Sect Master Randeng has a deep feud with me. At this moment, he is cultivating and resting. However, if he attacks me in the future, he will definitely take the initiative. This time, I can make him stand on the stage. If he is really on good terms with the Western Sect, he will naturally attract the attention of the Western Sect...”

Li Changshou did not say his true plan. It was related to the location of the Immortal Alliance.

The Immortal Alliance was only a pawn to attract the attention of the Western Sect. The real hidden pawn was the Heaven Arrival Hall that Bai Ze was in charge of. The factions that had joined the Immortal Union were also targets that the Heaven Arrival Hall had to conquer in the future.

The Burning Incense Divine Kingdom was like a ferocious tiger, and the other idle immortal Dao factions were like a pack of wolves. What Li Changshou was doing now was to let the tigers and wolves fight each other and then drive the wolves away.

The best outcome would be for the Western Sect to retreat in the Trichiliocosm and the Immortal Union to be annexed by the Heaven Ascension Hall.

At that time, the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance would be the biggest scapegoat. He would naturally not let himself take on that role... That was just an ordinary scheme of a Heavenly Courts’ ordinary gods. In the past few years, Li Changshou and Ling’e had been working together to arrange that matter. They had made nine backup plans. Li Changshou gave her a plan. Ling’e reviewed it a few times and suggested it when she felt that it was not safe. The division of labor was clear and efficient.

They deduced and confirmed that the worst outcome of this plan was that the Heavenly Courts would lose some reputation...

Li Changshou gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. With this trip to the Jade Void, he invited Randeng into the game. Randeng was definitely not easy to deal with. However, Li Changshou opened his hand and grabbed Randeng. If Randeng danced too happily, he could just let Zhao Gongming subdue him with force. Then, he could blame it on the sneak attack of the experts of the Western Sect and “accidentally” get rid of Randeng... If Daoist Lu Ya could die, why couldn’t Daoist Randeng? Li Changshou felt that he would not be safe if he did not kill the two “little experts” of the Dao Crushing Sect during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. He would have let Teacher Taiqing down.

He had to tear the script apart to resolve the situation.

When they arrived at Qianyuan Mountain, Perfected Taiyi prepared a banquet. The three immortals continued to chat with Li Changshou about the Immortal Union and the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. Li Changshou answered carefully. As long as he did not expose the existence of the Heaven Ascension Hall, he could tell the truth about his other schemes... When Perfected Tai Yi asked which important person in the Heavenly Courts was involved, Li Changshou hesitated for a while and sent a voice transmission to them.

“A general, Qin Tianzhu, the incarnation of the Jade Emperor. Don’t expose this matter. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome for the Jade Emperor to create another incarnation.” The three twelve Golden Immortals could not help but look at each other. They remarked that Li Changshou really knew what to do. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about these troublesome matters. There are schemes everywhere here. We have to take care of everything. Oh right, Senior Brother Huang Long, have you gone to the dragon race to take a look recently? It is said that the dragon race is going to hold a ceremony to trace the source and worship the ancestral dragon. They want to obtain some protection during the Great Tribulation.”

“They gave me an invitation. I’m still wondering if I should go over.” Perfected Huang Long’s eyes were filled with emotions. He was easily led into the mode of reminiscing about the past and thinking about the past.

Half a day later, Perfected Huang Long bade farewell and returned to the cave to cultivate. Perfected Yu Ding rushed back to Jade Spring Mountain to teach Yang Jian.

Before Perfected Yu Ding left, Li Changshou took out a jade token from his sleeve and said with a smile, “Senior Brother, this is a bit of the cultivation insights of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. See if it’s useful.”

Perfected Yu Ding smiled warmly and nodded at Li Changshou without saying anything. Perfected Taiyi was puzzled. “Changgeng, could it be that you have cultivated such a physical mystical technique?” Li Changshou smiled without saying anything.

He did not deny or admit it.

Ling Zhuzi had to stay in the Golden Light Cave of the Qianyuan Mountain for a few days and cultivate with his master, Perfected Taiyi.

Li Changshou specially reminded Ling Zhuzi to not place too much emphasis on physical cultivation. The Primordial Dao was the foundation. Ling Zhuzi naturally agreed. Before Li Changshou left, Ling Zhuzi chased after him and whispered, “Uncle-Master, remember to tell the Jade Rabbit, she said that she will come and play with me in a few days.”

“Alright.” Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk. “Do you need me to relay any more things to her?” Ling Zhuzi smiled and shook his head. Together with his master, he sent Li Changshou out of the Golden Light Cave and flew away from the array formation. From afar, Li Changshou could still sense Perfected Taiyi’s slowly burning flames of gossip. “Jade Rabbit? Who is it? Could it be the Jade Rabbit from the Glacial Palace? Disciple, have you befriended her?”

“Yes, she’s quite cute and especially fun.” Ling Zhuzi smiled and said, “After I went to the Glacial Palace the last time, Little Rabbit once came to the Water God Residence to give Uncle-Master some snacks. I was fighting with someone at that time, so she came over.

I didn’t expect her to be an expert in fights. Her kicks are quite impressive. She can even make me bleed with a kick...” Perfected Taiyi’s eyes lit up as he asked. Ling Zhuzi answered truthfully.

The array formation of the Qianyuan Mountain closed, cutting off Li Changshou’s immortal senses. Li Changshou focused on riding the cloud and returned his attention to the side.

Next, it was another busy year.

Three months later, the news of the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, Daoist Randeng, becoming the Alliance Leader of the Trichiliocosm Immortal Alliance spread throughout the Primordial World.

The morale of the various forces that wanted to form the Anti-Immortal Union together soared. However, most of the disciples of the Western Sect, who did not know that Randeng was one of them, were facing a formidable enemy. The situation immediately became strange. The two rivers that were originally clearly separated were now in turmoil.

That day, Li Changshou sat on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber. He held a fan in his hand and shook it gently, looking for the feeling of a “Military Advisor”.

He smiled and looked at the storm in the Three Realms.

However...

Ling’e walked past with a tray and muttered, “Why do I keep losing my hair lately?” At such a young age, she had to bear the pressure that she should not have. Li Changshou pondered carefully and continued to think about the various schemes. He multi-tasked and the paper effigy was active in the Netherworld of the Heavenly Courts. Li Changshou would not forget about the blood-colored lotus flower.

However, the other party did not move. He did not want to move recklessly.

Now, the focus of the world was on the Immortal Alliance Conference. They had to be wary of someone stirring up trouble or using the matter of the blood sea to divert their attention.

It was not easy for the sects to compete.

“Huh?”

Li Changshou had a sudden impulse. The paper effigy in the Netherworld slowly opened his eyes. The paper effigy was in a short wooden hut. It was where he, a little judge who did not need to do anything, usually cultivated. A voice transmission entered Li Changshou’s heart...

“Water God, Lord Water God, it’s me, Truth Listener.”

Li Changshou was really stunned. He did not know why that fellow suddenly looked for him. However, Truth Listener continued sending a voice transmission. “Be careful. Just now, a rather arrogant fellow came to the Reincarnation Pagoda to look for my master. He claimed to be the son of the Primordial Phoenix, the Golden-Winged Roc. He wants to restore the prestige of the phoenix race. If you form thoughts in your heart, we will naturally hear them.”

Li Changshou nodded slowly and asked in his heart, “Why did you inform them?”

“Water God, don’t blame me. I really don’t want my master to fall into the whirlpool of the conflict between the sects. Master is already in such a state. The Western Sect still wants to squeeze him dry...”

“Why did he come to look for your master?”

“He’s here to provoke us.” Truth Listener did not know whether to laugh or cry. “This fellow even brought a disciple of the Little Saint of the Western Sect. That fellow is constantly inciting trouble. What did the Golden-Winged Roc say... He would do what my master cannot. He would take care of things that my master does not dare to do. There is extreme speed in life. The Three Realms are carefree. Heaven and earth can go, and nothing can stop them... Then, they left.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Speaking of which, is Sister-in-law’s younger brother so stubborn? He was arrogant because he hadn’t been taught a lesson by the Three Realms. He did not show any respect to Ksitigarbha at all. He had wasted so much luck that Ksitigarbha had fought for the Western Sect!

“Is your master... alright?”

“I was almost angered to death.” Truth Listener sighed and continued sending a voice transmission. “This fellow said that he wants to target you directly. You have to be careful.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and smiled.

“It’s fine. There’s still half a year before the Immortal Union Meeting. If he stirs up trouble, I’ll compete with him.”

As he spoke, he began to think about how to break the “extreme speed”.

Under the premise that his main body did not appear. Kong Xuan had previously said that if the Golden-Winged Roc went against him, he could kill

it.

Those words seemed heartless, but they were actually the pride of the phoenix race and Kong Xuan’s choice.

Now that the luck of the phoenix race was weak, Kong Xuan had personally protected the human race so that the luck of the phoenix race could be restored and the phoenix race could reproduce. However, the Golden-Winged Roc had taken a different path and attached itself to the Western Sect. Its goal was to “increase the prestige of the phoenix

race.”

There are no birds left. How can I be impressive!?!

The meaning of Kong Xuan’s words that day was that if the Golden-Winged Roc were to commit suicide, he would not have to worry about the Golden-Winged Roc’s background and let him court death.

However, how could Li Changshou do such an unstable thing?

The Golden-Winged Roc was Kong Xuan’s younger brother. Even if Li Changshou crippled it, he had to keep it alive.

Peace and virtue are important. However, just as Li Changshou had that thought, a ripple appeared in his heart again. Ao Yi was calling out to the Sect Master through his spiritual will. What urgent matter is this? Previously, he had agreed to contact Ao Yi at the Water God Residence if anything happened. If it was not an urgent matter, he did not need to communicate with his spiritual will.

The Western Sect is starting to attack?

Li Changshou did not dare to be careless. He immediately used the main statue of Anshui City to construct a dream and pulled Ao Yi into it.

“Brother Sect Master!”

Ao Yi walked forward quickly and did not bother to bow. He immediately said, “The Golden-Winged Roc of the Phoenix Clan has just appeared in a town in the Middle Continent. It claims that it wants to compete with you, Brother.

He also said that tomorrow at noon, he would enter the Heavenly Courts from the South-Heaven Gate and go all the way to the Frost Palace to kiss Heng’e!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

So naive? Li Changshou was puzzled. “Is that true?”

“To be honest, Brother, although the dragon race does not want to start a war with the phoenix race, we are always paying attention to the phoenix race,” said Ao Yi. “The Great Elder just told me this news. It has to be true. The speed of the Golden-Winged Roc is probably only below that of the Demon Master Kun Peng. If he were to charge into the Heavenly Courts, it would be difficult to stop him.” Li Changshou frowned slightly and paced back and forth beside his statue.

What is this fellow up to?

Awesome? Li Changshou suddenly realized what Kong Xuan meant by “regardless of life and death”... Kong Xuan knew very well what kind of bird the Golden-Winged Roc was. Therefore, he expressed his stance in advance. Ao Yi asked, “Brother Sect Master, should I immediately invite the experts of the dragon race to the Heavenly Courts to set up defenses?”

“There’s no hurry,” Li Changshou muttered. “If that fellow really gets close to the Glacial Palace, he will probably either be struck by an ax or be raised into a beauty bird by Heng’e...”

“Huh?”

“Ahem, it’s fine.” Li Changshou waved his hand. “Please help the dragon race spread the news everywhere. Make sure that this fellow can hear it. Just say... When the Heavenly Courts’ Water God heard that, he smiled and discussed with General Dongmu. Everyone in the Primordial Three Realms knew that only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Courts could be considered mighty figures. From the South-Heaven Gate to the Moon Palace, they happened to avoid the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Pool, and the Tushita Palace. Any other mighty figure could do that. They could not be considered heroes. If we can rush from the South-Heaven Gate to the gate of the Glacial Palace without injuring anyone, that would be our real speed.” Ao Yi tasted it carefully and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Brother Sect Master, will that fellow really fall for it?”

“I don’t know. Let’s see if he’s really crazy.” Li Changshou sighed. “Let’s go first. I’ll go to the Water God Residence to wait. Once the news spreads, His Majesty will summon me.” Ao Yi agreed. The two of them retracted their spiritual wills and got busy. The vicious words that the Golden-Winged Roc had said were pushed by the Western Sect and quickly spread in the Three Realms.

Qin Tianzhu was furious. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Courts were enraged. They went to the Hall of Enlightenment to ask for orders. Tomorrow, they would go to the South-Heaven Gate to defend. Li Changshou was quickly called to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to give advice to the few orthodox gods. The Jade Emperor’s expression was extremely ugly. There were many schemes in the Primordial World. It was rare for someone as arrogant as him to survive for so long The Golden-Winged Roc was arrogant and treated the Heavenly Courts as a stepping stone to fame. If he really barged into the Frost Palace, the Heavenly Courts’ reputation would be greatly damaged. General Dongmu said, “Your Majesty, I think that this might be his way of making a diversion! We should deploy troops in the Five Heavenly Gates. We cannot let our guard down.”

“That’s right.” The Jade Emperor endured his anger and cursed, “This Golden-Winged Roc is courting death. I’ll fulfill his wish!”

The Jade Emperor paused and his expression softened. He looked at Li Changshou and said warmly, “Changgeng, don’t worry. I will definitely not let him get close to Heng’e.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

What does that mean?

General Dongmu also said, “Water God, just be at ease. Our Heavenly Courts are no longer the same as before. We have to make sure that the son of the Primordial Phoenix does not return!”

The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched slightly. It had been nine years. He still remembered that rumor?

At that moment, a cow’s cry came from outside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. A green bull walked over and turned into an honest-looking middle-aged man at the entrance of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He had horns on his head and a nose ring. The green ox grinned and did not approach the hall. In front of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, he shouted, “Senior Brother Changgeng, the Grand Supreme Elder asked me to catch a bird for

you!”

Li Changshou could not help but support his forehead with one hand.

The enemy had only released a piece of news. How could they cause chaos?

It was time to train the immortals and gods.

At the same time, beside the spiritual pool on the spiritual mountain, a handsome young Daoist priest was showing off the treasure he had just obtained-a golden cloak. There was a smug expression on his face.

At the side, the old Daoists were not stingy with their praises. During the process of sucking up to him, they also advised him not to fight against the Heavenly Courts. The young Daoist waved his hand and said calmly, “The Heavenly Courts’ Water God has many schemes. If we compete with him in schemes, we will be asking for trouble. We will be at a disadvantage. Why don’t you use your strength to attack the other party’s weakness? I will definitely let him know tomorrow that even if I curl up in the Heavenly Courts, I will not be able to live peacefully. I will enter and leave the Heavenly Courts as if there is nothing there!” The old Daoists immediately smiled and nodded. Although they said that they were convinced, they might be mumbling in their hearts. In the corner that was originally reserved for Ksitigarbha and Truth Listener, Daoist Wen Jing stood in the shadows. The silver-haired girl sat by the side with her sword and observed quietly.

The silver-haired girl asked via voice transmission, “Is the son of the Primordial Phoenix very powerful?”

Daoist Wen Jing shook her head and felt bored.

She could not be bothered to report this matter to the Water God and take the opportunity to claim credit. If the Water God looked at him seriously, it would be considered that the Water God had lost.

“Fool.”

The silver-haired girl, who was holding the Primordial Massacre Sword, tilted her head slightly. Was Aunt Wen talking about her? Her light red eyes were filled with confusion.
