Chapter 595 - : Return Too White, The Heavenly Courts Will Move

The matter that I mentioned previously refers to the incomplete will of the Pangu God…

I feel that the matter here is even more complicated than the Primordial Violet Qi.

On the Little Qiong Peak, a breeze blew past. Li Changshou’s figure appeared on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber, but the array formation did not react.

At that moment, real cold sweat seeped out of his back and drenched his Daoist robe.

Immortals also had metabolism. However, because their immortal bodies were pure, they used more spiritual energy to complete their external circulation.

Li Changshou sat there in a daze. He closed his eyes again and carefully listened to the conversation that happened in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Talking to a big shot like the Dao Ancestor was really tiring.

He should have understood what the Dao Ancestor meant, and the Dao Ancestor should have understood that he was in place…

Right?

The fact that the Dao Ancestor scared him in the end was not important.

The Dao Ancestor was reminding himself not to hold on to the concept of the human race’s common sense. He had to focus on the entire world.

“The right and wrongs that originate from personal emotions cannot be applied to the order of the world.”

Although Li Changshou knew that a long time ago, he did not want to restrict himself. He was more inclined to be a layman.

Ah, life is already so difficult. If I want to live happily forever, I have to work harder.

More importantly, he could not go against the Dao Ancestor in any way.

Stable, stable, and stable?

Li Changshou sat there and fell into deep thought. A faint fog appeared around him, and a wisp of Dao runes circulated around the Little Qiong Peak.

In the chess room, Ling’e, who was playing cards with Long Ji and Xiong Lingli, suddenly perked up. She stood up and flipped the jade stool over. Her body turned into a light white halo and disappeared.

Long Ji, who was dressed in a thin chiffon dress, blinked. “What’s wrong with Aunt-Master Ling’e?”

“Hmph.” Xiong Lingli threw the card in her hand away and stretched her arms and legs. She had the urge to become bigger.

She smiled smugly, her two ponytails swaying on the carpet. “In such a situation, there’s only one possibility… Cousin’s main body has returned!”

“Master is back?”

Long Ji was stunned. Then, her figure flashed and went to the side hall.

After opening the layers of restrictions, Long Ji hurriedly changed into an attire that allowed her to go out. Her immortal senses wanted to investigate the Pill Chamber, but they were easily blocked by the array.

“Senior Brother~~”

A call interrupted Li Changshou’s train of thought. He turned his head and saw a ray of colorful light flash past. Ling’e had already jumped forward and pressed her hands on his shoulders.

Li Changshou did not resist. He let her hold his shoulder and shake it. He even shouted sadly, “Senior Brother, you’re finally back alive!”

“Yes, I almost died.”

“Really?” Ling’e stopped crying and subconsciously knelt at the side. She hurriedly asked, “Senior Brother, are you in trouble this time? Is Sister Yun Xiao alright?”

“Don’t worry. She’s fine.” Li Changshou sighed slowly. “Although it’s a little complicated to deal with Kun Peng, it’s not difficult to have the Saint holding the fort.

The problem lies in other aspects.”

Ling’e frowned and muttered softly. She pondered for a while and asked softly, “Is it related to the Primordial Violet Qi that Kun Peng swallowed?”

“Yo, have you awakened?”

Li Changshou smiled and squinted. He raised his hand and rubbed Ling’e’s head, messing up her meticulously groomed hair accessories. Ling’e pouted unhappily.

Ling’e snorted. “I’m not stupid.”

Then, he rolled his eyes and changed the topic. He jumped up with a smile. “I’ll pour a cup of tea for Senior Brother!”

Li Changshou said calmly, “I’m not thirsty. There’s no need to trouble yourself. You can also put back the Love Water that you took from the secret compartment in the bookshelf. My Dao Body is now as sturdy as a rock and is no longer affected by this item.”

Ling’e tiptoed and hesitated. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly. In the end, she said, “Okay.”

Li Changshou shook his head and chuckled. He casually took out a jade token and pondered about what he should do next.

Ling’e felt a little guilty. She tiptoed out of the Pill Chamber and went to the lake to get busy.

Although she had immortal techniques and mystical abilities, she still used the stove to boil water. Although there were not many steps when brewing tea, she was still fully focused, as if every move was important.

Not long after, Ling’e carried the tray and floated back to the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou thanked her and sipped from the teapot.

Ling’e walked to the back of the rocking chair and pressed Li Changshou’s shoulder, rubbing it gently. She used a Dharma spell that she had specially cultivated to inject wisps of cool Connate Spirit Qi into her senior brother’s Dao Body.

“Senior Brother, is it troublesome to go out this time?”

“It’s not troublesome.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I was accidentally swallowed by Kun Peng. Instead, I took advantage of the situation and caused trouble in his body…”

At that moment, Li Changshou activated the “ears on the wall” mode and briefly explained the battle between him and Kun Peng.

Ling’e listened attentively and frowned from time to time.

When she heard that Li Changshou was fighting with Kun Peng’s essence soul, she could not help but worry.

“Stupid Senior Brother, how did you teach me back then? Everything has to be stable. How can I go out and fight a great figure like Kun Peng? I was even swallowed by someone and fought with someone’s essence soul?”

Ling’e complained a little. Her little hand climbed to Li Changshou’s forehead and she rubbed it gently with her slender fingers.

Li Changshou did not say anything. It was indeed inappropriate for him to say that he was in control of everything.

After quietly enjoying his junior sister’s formal service, Li Changshou asked, “Have you ever thought of leaving my side?”

Ling’e paused and asked softly, “Senior Brother, where should I go?”

“I’m not going anywhere. I want you to go to the Goddess of Mercy’s place to cultivate for a few hundred years,” Li Changshou said. “I’ll bring you back after you transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation. What do you think?”

“Um…”

“That’s just my thought. I haven’t asked the Goddess for permission.”

“Senior Brother, I’m a disciple of Ren School,” Ling’e muttered softly. “Isn’t it a little inappropriate to go to the Goddess’s Palace to cultivate? I naturally want to listen to your arrangements, but will Teacher blame me when he finds out?”

Li Changshou opened his eyes and looked at Ling’e’s lowered head. She quickly avoided his gaze.

“Don’t you want to go?”

“Yes.”

Li Changshou asked again, “Won’t you be lonely on the mountain?”

“I won’t if you’re around.”

Ling’e pursed her lips and seemed to have summoned her courage. She looked down at her senior brother and muttered softly, “If Qi Refinement cultivators don’t even know their own hearts, how can they achieve the Dao?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“I’ll listen to you.” Li Changshou closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. “If you don’t want to go, don’t go. The Heavenly Courts is about as safe as the Goddess’s Palace. Do you want some fairies to serve you? With my current cultivation level, I can get some maidservants.”

“No!”

“Are you that determined?”

“I’m used to cultivating alone!”

Ling’e snorted softly and immediately regained her senses. She pressed Li Changshou’s shoulder twice hard and flew away from the side with the tip of her toes. She turned her head and pouted.

“Senior Brother, if you want someone to serve you, just arrange it. Anyway, I don’t dare to say anything. Sister Yun Xiao is so gentle. She definitely won’t say anything. You are the Little Qiong Peak Master. Hmph! Master said that it is difficult to become a great person if you are greedy for pleasure! I suspect that there is something wrong with your mind, Senior Brother.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Alright, if you don’t want it, so be it.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He stretched again. “I’ll rest for half a day and give you and Long Ji something to do. List all the major events that had happened in the world in the Chaos Sea in sequence. Do your best, there’s no need to be too detailed.”

Ling’e blinked. We’re bickering, what kind of trick is it to suddenly assign missions?

However, since it was a serious matter, Ling’e did not dare to cause trouble. She replied firmly, “I promise to complete Senior Brother’s orders!”

Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused. He held the teapot and the jade token and was happy.

It was very useful to change the topic between men and women.

A moment later, Long Ji hurriedly left the Little Qiong Peak and the Grand White Palace to rush to the Jade Pool.

Li Changshou’s main body was resting, but the paper effigy rushed to see the Jade Emperor’s incarnation and discussed the arrangements with General Quan Dong.

In the past few decades, the Heavenly Courts had been troubled by the Western Sect. Now that he had returned, he naturally had to…

He had to stabilize the situation first, observe in secret, and finally counterattack appropriately.

It might not be effective to be energetic. The mastermind behind the Western Sect might be his old rival.

This time, he had to make sure that the other party could not make a comeback.

Hence, half a day later.

In the Netherworld, outside Fengdu City.

A young hanging judge rode a cloud out of Fengdu City. He hummed a melody from the Netherworld and headed towards Ksitigarbha’s Reincarnation Pagoda.

…

“Ah, Master, what should we do?”

In the Reincarnation Pagoda, the green-furred dog curled up under the window sill muttered softly.

The young Daoist who was cultivating frowned when he heard that. He opened his eyes and looked over with a puzzled expression. “What did you do again?”

“I didn’t do anything… Really!”

The green-furred dog sighed and raised his paw to cover his head.

“Didn’t I tell you previously that a fellow pretended to be the merciful, benevolent, amiable, and personable Lord Taibai Jinxing? He cheated the Heavenly Courts and the Immortal Alliance two or three times.”

Ksitigarbha was puzzled. “What does it have to do with you?”

“It originally had nothing to do with me. However, Lord Taibai Jinxing is wise, intelligent, refined, and easy-going. He will definitely think of looking for me to investigate this matter. My ability to hear the thoughts of all living beings is just nice to find the true identity of the fake. Even if the other party is a mighty figure, he will leave traces. Ah, it’s getting harder and harder to survive in the Primordial World these days.”

Truth Listener sighed faintly and lay on the ground, wagging its tail weakly.

Ksitigarbha pondered for a while and said, “If you don’t answer, what can he do to you?”

“That won’t do. How can I dare to play tricks with Lord Taibai Jinxing? Something will really happen…”

Ksitigarbha shook his head helplessly and cursed, “Where did your arrogance go? Where did the unwillingness to admit defeat when we schemed against each other go? Where did the anger you had when you were first subdued by me go!?!”

“Isn’t that because I’m knowledgeable and know a lot? In the past, I thought that you were ruthless and evil. Now, I see that you are a benevolent person!”

Truth Listener muttered, “Now that I’m extremely angry, I can only curse behind my back. Ah, if I offend Venus Sovereign, I’m afraid the Primordial World will not have a place to stay.”

“You!”

Ksitigarbha was about to curse with a black face when a chuckle came from outside the window.

“Why? Am I that ferocious?”

The green hair on Truth Listener’s body immediately exploded. It stood up and fled. Halfway through, it ran back and circled around anxiously.

A stream of light streaked across the window sill. Li Changshou’s paper effigy landed beside Ksitigarbha and cupped his hands at Ksitigarbha. Just as he was about to speak, the green-furred divine beast lay at the entrance of the stairs and kowtowed.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, please let me off! I definitely don’t dare to get involved in this matter. I can’t afford to offend either side!”

Ksitigarbha pursed his lips and looked out of the window calmly, hinting that he did not know the dog.

Li Changshou looked enlightened. “Thank you for the reminder. I understand.”

Truth Listener was stunned. It hurriedly said, “No, what did I remind you about?”

“There’s probably no one else who can make you so afraid other than the Eldest Senior Brother of Spiritual Mountain, who doesn’t care about the Heavenly Courts or the authority of the Heavenly Dao Echelon.”

Li Changshou squinted and smiled. “Is Maitreya the person who impersonated me to plot against the Heavenly Courts?”

“Y-You already know…”

“I was bluffing you just now.” Li Changshou shook his head and chuckled. He turned around and did not look at the Truth Listener. He chatted with Ksitigarbha.

The green-furred divine beast opened its mouth and its eyes were blank. It raised its head and lay there as if it was petrified.

Ksitigarbha smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you seem to have gained a lot in the Chaos Sea. However, I admire you for rejecting the Primordial Violet Qi.”

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve misunderstood.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and looked regretful. “I was one move behind and was taken advantage of by Kun Peng. For that, I was punished by the Dao Ancestor.”

“Is that so?” Ksitigarbha’s smile grew wider. “It seems that Fellow Daoist Changgeng has quite an ambition.”

“In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the beautiful figure will become a twin zither.” Li Changshou smiled with his hands behind his back. “That’s my goal. I’ve already obtained the answer to this trip. I’ll take my leave now. I don’t want Maitreya to discover that the situation is amiss and escape into the Chaos Sea.”

After saying that, Li Changshou turned around and was about to escape. However, Ksitigarbha restrained his smile and frowned slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Changgeng, can you listen to me?”

“Oh?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Could it be that you want to defend the Eldest Senior Brother of the spiritual mountain?”

“His matter has nothing to do with me,” Ksitigarbha said seriously. “I know that you are deliberately targeting the Western Sect. This is also a conflict between the Dao Sect and the Western Sect during the Great Tribulation. However, the matter regarding Maitreya was not done by the Western Sect. Please don’t blame the Western Sect.”

Li Changshou said calmly, “His identity and position have long represented the entire spiritual mountain. You should have persuaded him before he did that. The matter of impersonating me is already irreconcilable.”

Ksitigarbha pondered for a while and sighed. “If he doesn’t hide in the Chaos Sea, the cultivators of the spiritual mountain will suffer.”

“Similarly, this has nothing to do with me.”

Li Changshou turned around and looked at the distant view of the Netherworld outside the window.

“Moreover, even if he hides in the Chaos Sea, I have a way to find him. This person is also a scourge to the Western Sect.”

Ksitigarbha said, “If you really touch him, I’m afraid a battle between the Saints will break out. Teacher will not sit and watch him get into trouble.”

“Then let’s start the battle between the Saints.”

Ksitigarbha was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked up at Li Changshou’s paper effigy and saw that his expression was normal. There was no change in his eyes.

Li Changshou suddenly smiled and said calmly, “Fellow Daoist, don’t take it to heart. I’m just the disciple of a Saint. How can I dare to make such a decision? However, even if I can’t kill Maitreya this time, I will make the Western Sect pay the corresponding price and restrict Maitreya’s movements. Now, the Great Tribulation is right ahead. Those below the Saint should try their best to turn into ashes. You and I are the same.”

After saying that, Li Changshou cupped his hands and turned into a stream of light to escape, leaving Ksitigarbha frowning in concentration.

A moment later, Ksitigarbha turned to look at Truth Listener, who was crying and packing her luggage. He could not help but be speechless.

Ksitigarbha waved his hand and golden light shone everywhere in the Reincarnation Pagoda. However, he temporarily sealed the Reincarnation Pagoda and rejected any living beings from entering.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Courts.

As soon as Li Changshou’s paper effigy left the Reincarnation Pagoda, rumbling drums sounded everywhere in the Heavenly Courts. Groups of Heavenly Soldiers gathered towards the five Heavenly Gates. The Heavenly Generals turned into streams of light and rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Youqin Xuanya, who was in seclusion, was also awakened. She changed into a golden battle dress and put on her feathered flower helmet. She quickly rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The sound of the drums was an emergency call. All high-ranking generals had to gather at the Lingxiao Hall.

Youqin Xuanya did not know if it was because of her cold personality. When she was cultivating in the Immortal Du Sect, she was like that. It was the same when she was a general in the Heavenly Courts.

He would always be isolated. There were no other figures within ten feet of him.

Over the years, she had gotten used to it.

If someone said that her personality was not likable, she would not care.

Unless that senior brother spoke.

When she landed in front of the white jade steps of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, it was indeed the same. The figures around her seemed to have a natural barrier with her.

Youqin Xuanya stood quietly with the Fire Scale Sword Case on her back. She did not care about the gazes that were secretly cast at her. She did not care about the discussions everywhere.

The streams of light in the sky flickered for a while. Hundreds of Heavenly Generals gathered in front of the Lingxiao Hall.

Most of the people should have arrived. An old man walked out of the entrance of the Lingxiao Hall. He was naturally the minister of the Heavenly Courts, General Dongmu.

General Dongmu said loudly, “Marshals and generals, enter the hall and pay your respects!”

The Heavenly Generals agreed loudly. Their voices were a little noisy. Then, they walked forward according to their ranks. They walked up the stairs and quickly entered the Lingxiao Hall.

Youqin Xuanya was suddenly stunned because she saw the figure standing below the platform.

He was back.

For some reason, Youqin Xuanya felt much more at ease. The noisy and complicated thoughts disappeared. She was only slightly happy in her heart, but her expression was even colder.

She lowered her head and walked forward. She stood at the back and did not look further. She bowed with the generals.

After a while, Youqin Xuanya heard a few unimportant words from the Jade Emperor. She heard General Dongmu’s reprimand and the order.

“Everyone, after returning to the array, let the various troops prepare to bleed. The prestige of the Heavenly Courts was not obtained through playing games, exchanging, or speaking. It was obtained through the previous few battles! Once you leave the hall, you will be separated by life and death. When you drew your swords, heads would fly. Please remember His Majesty’s words. What the Heavenly Courts want to establish is order from the bottom up, not bullying from the top down! It is time to give each True Spirit the same value! It is time to use the swords in everyone’s hands and the guts of the Heavenly Courts’ soldiers to tell the decay of the world that did not want to wake up because of old dreams! Order will be revealed!”
