My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 490 - The Water God Boiled the Eagle

Chapter 490 The Water God Boiled the Eagle

“Turn it into soup.”

The Golden-Winged Roc, which was hanging upside down under a huge tree, slowly opened its eyes. It was still in shock, and there was a withered trunk in its eyes.

He seemed to have had a terrifying nightmare.

The Heavenly Courts in his dream seemed to be empty. He accidentally rushed into the Vast Glacial Palace but was sent flying by Fairy Heng’e...

The number one beauty of the Three Realms is an expert comparable to the eldest disciple of a Saint?

Just as that thought surfaced in the Golden-Winged Roc’s mind, it realized that it was in an inverted state. It heard the crackling sounds of fire and laughter...

His immortal power was sealed, and the bird scholar god was restrained by the nine green halos. He could not move at all.

At that moment, he struggled with all his might and slowly turned around. He saw the three figures sitting 30 feet away.

A white-haired elder, a burly man who looked familiar, and the “ox demon” he had seen previously.

The white-haired elder looked over and revealed a benevolent smile. He said, “You’re awake?”

The Golden-Winged Roc nodded in a daze, not knowing how to respond. The white-haired old man said warmly, “Don’t be afraid. The process of removing the wings is very smooth.”

The Golden-Winged Roc was stunned.

The burly man and the ox demon turned their heads. Each of them held a large “roasted wing” in their hands and smiled at the Golden-Winged Roc.

“It tastes good.”

“It’s very flavorful.”

The Golden-Winged Roc felt his heart turn cold. His face was filled with grief and indignation. He was about to curse angrily on the spot, but he felt extremely tired. He ‘raised his head’ and spat out a mouthful of blood. He fainted again.

Li Changshou wondered, “Is this fellow really not going to investigate me?”

Wu Gang smiled and said, “Where did the Western Sect get such a high-quality item?” The green ox took a bite of the roasted spiritual bird wings and praised, “It’s indeed strong. I didn’t expect the spiritual bird wings to be more delicious than thigh meat.”

Li Changshou shook his head and chuckled. “I’m finally sure why his sister said that I can kill her directly. There’s no point in keeping it. All it does is cause trouble for the phoenix race. It’s better to kill it.”

“Can you accept another mount?”

Wu Gang said, “This thing’s speed is indeed impressive. It has yet to reveal its main body after entering the Heavenly Courts. Perhaps its main body is not much inferior to the Kun Peng. If it can reach that speed, it will be rare in the world.”

The green ox muttered, “We have to be particular about spirituality when it comes to mounts. This timid fool... Forget it.”

Li Changshou was slightly tempted. He sat there and pondered.

It was definitely not appropriate to take in a mount. After all, the Golden-Winged Roc was Kong Xuan’s younger brother. Killing him was completely different from taking him in as a mount.

He had to consider Kong Xuan’s feelings. After all, Kong Xuan was his future sister-in-law whom his teacher had personally appointed.

Then, let the Golden-Winged Roc be used by them and bring them along at the crucial moment...

Kong Xuan should not mind.

However...

“It’s indeed a little troublesome to subdue such a fellow.” Li Changshou rubbed his forehead. He felt that it was a double torture to his mind and willpower.

Wu Gang smiled and said, “I’ll just endure it. So what if I’m from the Phoenix Clan? I have the Forbidden God Incantation used by ancient demons to control some demons. It will be useful.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and closed his eyes. The Taiji Painting slowly revealed its true form in his left palm.

He had already begun to communicate with the Taiji Painting.

The temperament of the Golden-Winged Roc could be described as naive.

It was especially naive.

It thought that it was smart, and was brazen and daring. It was especially ambitious but it had some abilities. It was not convinced by anyone when it was fated to be with them. It just wanted them to be nice to it. Once they were comfortable with it, they would do anything

It was a hundred times harder to tame a Golden-Winged Roc with such a temperament than to tame this fellow.

It was not impossible.

In his previous life, he had heard someone mention that the principle of refining eagles was quite similar.

If he did not die, he would torture himself to death!

Of course, he still had to use some psychological counseling to gradually guide him. In the end, he had to wear down the Golden-Winged Roc’s temperament and change the arrogance in his nature.

Li Changshou took a deep breath and said softly, “Senior, have you heard of the Chain Array?”

Wu Gang could not help but be a little confused. The green ox beside him was also a little confused.

Originally, when the Golden-Winged Roc provoked the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou only wanted to make the Golden-Winged Roc suffer a little. At the same time, he wanted to attack the Western Sect’s arrogance. He did not have the intention to subdue the Golden-Winged Roc.

However...

The temperament of the Golden-Winged Roc was obvious.

If he allowed the Golden-Winged Roc to leave the Heavenly Courts successfully this time, it would definitely think that it had messed with the Heavenly Courts’ schemes from the beginning to the end and wanted to fight the Heavenly Courts to death. He did not even think about who was the first to declare that he wanted to barge into the Heavenly Courts and who was the first to barge into the South-Heaven Gate...

Li Changshou had really encountered such a person in his previous life. He still had some lingering fear. Therefore, this time, he would either completely subdue it or cripple the Golden-Winged Roc and leave a seed for the phoenix race...

He would just do it.

Li Changshou first discussed with the green ox and Wu Gang for a while before going to various parts of the Heavenly Courts to get busy. He first obtained the Jade Emperor’s approval and the support of General Dongmu. Then, he gathered hundreds of Heavenly Courts’ immortals and gods to gather in the most spacious fourth Heaven.

A million Heavenly Soldiers had gone to the Netherworld to dig trenches, and hundreds of immortals had refined the array foundations.

Of course, the key array foundation of the Chain Array was personally refined by Li Changshou and sent to the Heavenly Courts... He moved some Spirit Stones from the Heavenly Courts’ treasure vault and transferred a batch of precious materials from the Four Seas Dragon Palace. He wanted to build a vast Chain Array in the shortest time possible!

The array formation did not have to be too sturdy because it was supported by the Yin and Yang Qi of the Taiji Painting.

Most importantly, he had to make the Golden-Winged Roc feel the pressure and remind it that it was in the array formation.

In just three short days, more than a thousand array foundations were activated on a vast sea of clouds in the Fourth Heaven. The scene was extremely spectacular.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy sat cross-legged at the eye of the array formation. He slowly activated the Taiji Painting and placed dozens of trapping arrays that were connected to each other into the protection of the Yin-Yang Great

Dao.

At the same time, Li Changshou activated a paper effigy in the Shang Clan and strolled around the forest outside the city. Soon, he heard a voice transmission from Big Sister Kong Xuan.

“What’s wrong? Is there an emergency? The Seven Emotions reincarnations are fine. They are playing in the city.”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up... That voice!

He was already 30% gentle, and his voice was much more mature!

Previously, Kong Xuan’s Yin and Yang had yet to be separated. He was in a neutral stage. At that moment, he was slightly effeminate.

Li Changshou said loudly, “Fellow Daoist, you don’t have to appear. I just have something to ask for your approval. Your brother had previously barged into the Heavenly Courts and wanted to go to the Glacial Palace to kiss Fairy Heng’e Fangze. Now, I have captured him... and hung him up.”

“Just kill him. There’s no need to spare him on my account.”

Kong Xuan’s words were extremely calm.

Li Changshou hesitated and said, “I want to subdue him and use him for the Heavenly Courts...”

Kong Xuan was silent for a while. Five-colored divine light appeared in front of Li Changshou and condensed into a phantom. Clearly, Kong Xuan’s main body was not suitable to meet outside.

At that moment, the illusory figure that Kong Xuan had condensed had a gentler expression than before. Her figure had also become graceful and delicate. Although he did not dare to say that she was peerless, she had a unique charm...

Kong Xuan frowned and said, “What’s the point of the Heavenly Courts subduing him? To cause trouble and ruin luck?”

“The Golden Roc’s extreme speed might be useful,” Li Changshou said seriously. “Fellow Daoist, no matter how casual you sound, I can’t really kill him. After all, he is Fellow Daoist’s brother even if the phoenix race has declined.”

Kong Xuan subconsciously pursed his lips and stared at Li Changshou with his phoenix-like eyes. Then, he sighed softly.

“I originally did not want to continue owing you favors, but you really... Forget it. If you can change his arrogant and conceited personality and make him cause less trouble for me in the future, I can personally persuade him.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “We’re family.

Fellow Daoist, don’t talk about favors. If my Senior Brother hears this, he will definitely reprimand me.”

Kong Xuan looked to the side...

If what I saw was not wrong, if my senses are not damaged, if Li Changshou’s understanding of women is not wrong! Is this a little shyness?

Teacher, Senior Brother is about to do something good!

Kong Xuan asked, “Do you need me to do anything?” “There’s no need to do too much,” Li Changshou said. “I need to borrow a wisp of your aura, Fellow Daoist. It’s best if it’s a phantom like you. I’ll use the Shadow-Retaining Ball to slap your back...”

Kong Xuan did not understand, but he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Li Changshou asked Kong Xuan to wait for a while. He was busy in the forest. He fiddled with the clouds and chose the angle to film. Soon, he took out a few Shadow-Retaining Spheres and filmed Kong Xuan’s image.

He continued to work hard...

Hence, after three days.

In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the immortals and Heavenly Generals gathered together. They sat behind a few short tables and looked at the “special copper mirror” on the floor.

The Jade Emperor sat on the throne on the platform. He was dressed in white and had a smile on his face. Beside him, there were fruits and wine that he had prepared. He was waiting for a good show to begin.

Li Changshou sat at the front of the platform and at the same table as General Dongmu.

When it was about time, Li Changshou stood up and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

“Your Majesty, everything is ready. Do you want to subdue this Golden-Winged Roc?”

“Hahaha!”

The Jade Emperor could not help but laugh. “Changgeng, go ahead and do it. I’m already prepared to watch a good show.”

Li Changshou lowered his head and agreed. He flung his horsetail whisk at the bronze mirror. A spiritual light flashed on the bronze mirror, and a clear image appeared.

Outside the Vast Glacial Palace, at the trunk of a huge tree near the Moon Palace, the Grand Supreme Elder’s mount—the Azure Ox, the arch-nemesis of the Moon Orchid Tree, and the expert in launching sneak attacks, Wu Gang, stood in front of the Golden-Winged Roc with his arms crossed. As soon as they saw Wu Gang, the immortals of the Heavenly Courts recalled what they had seen previously. That immortal Heng’e...

Ugh!

How dare he call the Moon Lord by his honorific name!

The scene of the Moon Lord slapping the Golden-Winged Roc flying was replaying in the minds of the immortals.

They knew that they couldn’t afford to offend him.

The green ox listened attentively and smiled. “It’s about to begin. Fellow Daoist, I’ll take this bird away.”

“Alright.” Wu Gang casually grabbed a huge axe. With a tap of his finger, he untied the rope that was holding the Golden-Winged Roc and handed it to the green ox.

The green ox smiled and said, “Senior Brother Changgeng said that I have to thank Fairy Heng’e for her help this time.”

“His Highness has instructed me. If there’s anything, just tell me. Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to mention such a trivial matter.”

Wu Gang waved his hand and carried the ax back to the side of the laurel tree. He recited loudly, “If you want to go to the Nine Heavens to look at the moon, you have to cultivate your iron bones for 30,000 years! Hahahaha!” The green ox chuckled and thought to himself, ‘How many years has it been since my Senior Brother Changgeng started cultivating...

At that moment, the green ox pulled the immortal rope and carried the unconscious Golden-Winged Roc on his shoulder before descending towards the fourth heaven.

There were no ripples along the way. The green bull successfully arrived at the periphery of the chain array formation. The green ox found a huge tree and hung the Golden-Winged Roc up. He blew a mouthful of immortal Qi at the Golden-Winged Roc.

Whoa, the smell of roasted wings.

“Kid, wake up.”

The Golden-Winged Roc trembled a few times and slowly opened its eyes. Its Adam’s apple trembled a few times, and its face was a little pale.

My wings and arms... are still intact?

The green ox casually grabbed a green stone and sat down calmly. He smiled at the hanging Golden-Winged Roc and said, “Have you seen Fairy Heng’e?”

The Golden-Winged Roc trembled and cursed, “Put me down!”

“Let you go?”

The green ox smacked his lips. “Since Lord Water God did not explain, we don’t dare to make a decision. The Water God only wants us to look after you and read some rules for you.”

The Golden-Winged Roc said angrily, “You are indeed a subordinate of the Water God!”

The green ox said calmly, “We are the Saint’s mounts. You are about to become the Saint’s disciple’s mount. We are of a different generation. You better show some respect.”

The Golden-Winged Roc widened its eyes and looked up at the stone surface below. It laughed loudly.

“Hahaha! Even if I get skinned and die a horrible death, I will never become the mount of any living being! The men of the phoenix race are not afraid of death. I have been reborn in my heart!”

“You’re not smart and you’re still so stubborn.” The green ox shook his head and looked regretful. “You’re probably hopeless... Do you know how much effort Lord Water God put in to deal with you?”

The Golden-Winged Roc remained silent.

The green ox snorted and looked down at the small words written on his palm. He continued, “Not even half a point.”

The Golden-Winged Roc sneered and turned his head away.

“Since you’ve already won, why are you ridiculing me?”

“Forget it. You can’t make anything good out of a bad thing.”

The green ox took out a scroll from his sleeve and said loudly, “Let’s finish the tasks given by Senior Brother Changgeng as soon as possible and return to the Tushita Palace to eat peaches. Come, listen, I will only recite it once! The Twelve Basic Principles of the Mount of Ren School.” “Firstly, when you are being ridden, you have to fly steadily. You cannot suddenly move forward or stop. This is different from when you are flying by yourself...”

One by one, the green ox read the instructions on the scroll in his hand and explained patiently.

The Golden-Winged Roc kept turning its head and gritting its teeth. It wished that it could seal its ears, but it could not use any Dharma powers.

He could only put on an expression that said, “I’m not listening. I’m not listening.” In the Lingxiao Hall.

General Dongmu asked in confusion, “Didn’t the Water God say that he will not be accepted as a mount but will serve the Heavenly Courts?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “This is just a small scheme.”

Everyone in the Lingxiao Hall was all ears.

Li Changshou said, “Although we want to use him for the Heavenly Courts, we can use some reasonable methods. In the beginning, we decided a terrible future for him—to become someone else’s mount. Later on, we will make him lower his head and tame it. When he accepts the fate of becoming a mount, we will turn around and tell him that he does not need to be a mount. What will happen to him if he becomes a general who works for the Heavenly Courts with his head held high? I will immediately have hope and reduce my resentment towards the Heavenly Courts. I will be grateful to the Heavenly Courts.”

General Dongmu looked enlightened. The surrounding immortals nodded and praised him.

Dirty. Really dirty.

A legitimate god whispered, “Water God, can you just say such a scheme... Is it fine?” “It’s fine.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Everyone, just continue watching. Today, we will be open and aboveboard. We will use virtue to subdue others.”

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Someone, play music.”

A few fairy musicians immediately walked over from the corner of the hall. They began to talk and joke. Ahem, they began to play and sing, causing melodious music to drift everywhere.

An hour later...

The green ox’s mouth was dry. He raised his head and drank a mouthful of sweet fruit wine. “Are you listening or not?”

“Hmph!”

The Golden-Winged Roc threw its head back in a carefree manner.

“Hey! You little bird!”

“Forget it.”

A soft sigh came from behind. The green bull turned his head and immediately smiled and bowed.

The sea of clouds rippled and condensed into a thousand-feet-tall shadow.

The image was similar to an Aspect. It had white hair, white eyebrows, and a white robe. It sat on the sea of clouds with a benevolent expression. There was a faint glow around it, and a wisp of obscure Dao runes spread out. The Golden-Winged Roc was stunned. It could not help but feel dizzy when it sensed the Dao runes.

The truth of Taiji contained in the Taiji Painting was not something that could be comprehended by living beings who did not have the foundation of the Great Dao of Taiqing.

The longevity weapon, the might of the painting.

Li Changshou’s voice was like a huge bell and drum, exploding in the ears of the Golden-Winged Roc.

“Evil creature! You trespassed into the Heavenly Courts and secretly attacked the moon. You deserve to die a hundred times. How dare you be arrogant?”

“Put me down if you dare!”

The Golden-Winged Roc shouted, “I was just ambushed. If I fight you one-on-one, I might not lose!”

“Don’t be stubborn.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “I want to spare your life on account of our old friendship. Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish.”

At that moment, the 1,000-feet-tall shadow slowly raised its hand. The Golden-Winged Roc smashed onto the ground, and the nine shackles on its essence soul dissipated at the same time.

The Golden-Winged Roc flipped over and jumped up. There was a hint of fierceness in its eyes. It lowered its head and roared. Its body turned into a golden thread and it immediately rushed forward!

There was no hesitation!

The Golden-Winged Roc opened a pair of golden wings on its back and instantly pierced Li Changshou’s heart! In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the immortals raised their eyebrows. They were naturally shocked by the ferociousness of the Golden-Winged Roc.

With a flash of light, the image lost the traces of the Golden-Winged Roc. Only the green ox sighed.

“That’s silly. We didn’t even attack and entered the array ourselves.”

Li Changshou’s phantom smiled slightly and nodded at the green bull before disappearing into the sea of clouds.

At the same time, the image of the huge bronze mirror in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall changed rapidly and was divided into two.

One of them provided a bird’s eye view. The Golden-Winged Roc was charging left and right in a trapping array formation. Its body was easily blocked by the Yin-Yang aura, and it was spinning around anxiously.

In another image, Li Changshou was sitting at a node in the chain array formation. He slowly brewed a cup of tea, and beside him was a crooked tree.

Two ropes hung down from the branches of the tree. There was a wooden sign tied to the rope, and three words were written on it.

It was a familiar formula and a familiar smell...

It read: “Are you lost?”
