Chapter 329 - I Want to Have a Land in the Heavenly Courts and Become Neighbors With the Grand Supreme Elder
Chapter 329 I Want to Have a Land in the Heavenly Courts and Become Neighbors With the Grand Supreme Elder
Ling’e, from the looks of it, the sect is no longer safe…
In the morning, Ling’e floated on the white clouds at the back of the mountain. She looked at the eastern sky and was in a daze.
Her senior brother’s words from last night still lingered in her ears, making her unable to calm down for a long time.
Senior Brother said, “The situation in the Primordial World is unpredictable. The chances of my headquarters being exposed are getting higher and higher. Some of the big shots that we can’t deal with are completely shameless. If I continue to stay here, I might implicate the entire Immortal Du Sect. Fortunately, I had already predicted this situation a hundred years ago and made this plan. I want to move the Little Qiong Peak from the Immortal Du Sect to the vicinity of the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Courts. This plan is estimated to take ten years. I call it… The Little Qiong Peak Vagrancy Plan!”
Although Ling’e wanted to complain at that time, her senior brother’s eyes glistened when he said that. He exuded a serious, steady, and determined aura that actually fascinated her…
She nodded and agreed without thinking. She felt that her senior brother made sense.
Ling’e could not help but moan and sigh in her heart.
I’m hopeless.
According to Senior Brother’s plan, he would move the Little Qiong Peak away in five steps.
The first step was also what Ling’e had to do at that moment. She had to use a Shadow-Retaining Ball to record the terrain of the Little Qiong Peak in detail. She also had to do a detailed count of the trees, spiritual objects, and so on.
For the second step, Li Changshou would choose a small mountain that was similar to the Little Qiong Peak and transform it into the shape of the Little Qiong Peak. He would also transplant the land, grass, and skin, open a spiritual lake, and replicate buildings. He would complete the disguise.
The third step was to ask the Sect Leader for permission to build a huge array outside the Little Qiong Peak to prevent external detection.
The fourth step was to swap the real with the fake!
The fifth step was to move the Little Qiong Peak to the Heavenly Courts. The fake Little Qiong Peak would stay in the sect. Li Changshou would use the paper effigy to guard
it.
In fact, after reading her senior brother’s detailed plan, Ling’e also sent out a question from her soul.
“But Senior Brother, why can’t we just move to another mountain? Must we move our homes?”
Li Changshou sighed and replied… “Junior Sister, do you know how much effort I put into this Little Qiong Peak?”
“Now, 80% of the construction of the entire mountain has been completed. There are 672 array foundations in it.”
“The few array formations at the core contain killing arrays with thirty-six array foundations, 360 trapping array formations, and the defensive array formations with as many foundations as there are major Heavenly Cycles.”
“The array foundations are different, but there are more than a hundred transformable array formations. I have already placed a set of Five-Element Spirit Pearls that are comparable to Connate numinous treasures in the center of the mountain. These are just array formations… If I give up on the Little Qiong Peak, it would be equivalent to giving up on the dragon race. Ahem. In short, the Little Qiong Peak is where our wealth lies. It is also a cave abode that will be safe for us in the future. In the next ten years, I will continue to fill up the array formations and complete the preliminary refinement of the entire Little Qiong Peak…”
So, Senior Brother has been doing something behind my back all day!
Array formations…
Ling’e lowered her head and looked at the quiet forest below. She tried to probe the mountain with her immortal senses, but she did not discover anything at first. Her immortal senses were smooth.
She carefully searched for a while and finally found a small array foundation hidden in the rock patterns.
Could it be that Senior Brother has many powerful enemies?
Ling’e patted her forehead and clenched her fists.
I can’t drag Senior Brother down. I must do what I can and become his helper…
At the mention of help, Ling’e recalled another important matter that her senior brother had mentioned last night.
Fairy Yun Xiao!
Connate lifeforms, disciples of Saints, ancient mighty figures, beautiful and charming, gentle and virtuous…
What should I do? I am clearly not a match for her! Ling’e frowned slightly and muttered to herself from time to time. She had long arrived at the edge of the forest where she was about to start investigating, but she had forgotten to land on the cloud.
“Yes!”
He had to consider this matter carefully.
The Immortal Peach Banquet lasted for three days.
The Immortal Peach Banquet was indeed shorter than the banquet in the Dragon Palace that would last for at least a few months.
However, the Immortal Peach Banquet had been completed. The spiritual fruits and immortal peaches had been given to the immortals to taste. There was no point in holding it for too long.
Three days ago, the dragon race came as guests. Three days later, when the dragon race left, they had already claimed to be subordinates. Their greetings were naturally smooth and they did not have any psychological obstacles.
He quickly accepted his fate and sought out the Dragon King of the Dragon Palaces of the four seas!
The Immortal Peach Banquet ended and the immortals dispersed. The Jade Emperor returned to the Lingxiao Hall. Li Changshou took the opportunity to bring Zhao Gongming to the Hall of Marriage of Elder Moon.
At that moment, Zhao Gongming was walking casually in the Heavenly Courts because he had obtained the Jade Emperor’s secret permission.
However, no one would dare to stop him anyway…
He passed through the clouds and looked up and down. Elder Moon’s home was in sight.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Brother, look. That’s the Hall of Marriage. Elder Moon has already returned to wait. Let’s go in and look for him.”
“Alright!”
Zhao Gongming took out the jar of fruit wine from his sleeve and held it in his hand. He walked alongside Li Changshou and flew to the front of the Hall of Marriage on a cloud.
Elder Moon, who was dressed in a red wedding robe, hurriedly welcomed them with two children. He greeted the two of them in front of the hall and led the two guests into the side hall.
The host and guests sat down. The boys served tea.
Zhao Gongming gave Li Changshou a gift and pondered for a while. He wanted to say something, but he felt his face burning. He shot Li Changshou a glance. “Ahem!”
Li Changshou’s paper effigy, which looked like an old immortal, cleared his throat and smiled.
“Brother Gongming came here this time because he has something to ask of you, Elder Moon. Elder Moon is in charge of marriage and has been dealing with marriage every day. In the Three Realms, I believe no one knows more about marriage than you.”
Elder Moon was speechless.
He was Elder Moon, whom the Jade Emperor had placed at the gate of the Hall of Marriage! He was a pure Yang Heaven Immortal who was tens of thousands of years old! What did he know about romantic relationships?!
However, although Elder Moon felt a little helpless, he revealed a composed expression and smiled.
“Actually, I only know a little. Just a little.” Zhao Gongming’s eyes lit up. He felt that Elder Moon was more reliable.
Li Changshou continued, “Elder Moon, you cannot mention what happened today to anyone else.”
“I understand your rules, Fellow Daoist Gongming and Water God.”
Elder Moon smiled calmly and raised his left hand.
“The Heavenly Dao is above. I shall swear a Great Dao oath…”
Zhao Gongming finally put his heart back into his stomach. Although he had the illusion that he had been harmed, he felt much more at ease.
After Elder Moon made the oath, Li Changshou spoke on behalf of Zhao Gongming.
He went on to explain.
Elder Moon smiled when he heard that…
“I see. This Goddess of Golden Light has already reached the Passion realm of her feelings towards Fellow Daoist Gongming. However, Fellow Daoist Gongming only has a good impression of the Goddess of Golden Light.”
Elder Moon used his immortal senses to secretly look at the jade token in his sleeve. He was afraid that he would say something wrong about those realms.
Next, Elder Moon said slowly, “This is a difference in the cultivation of the Great Dao of Emotion. It is very common in the relationship between marriages. Using the habits of my Hall of Marriage, it is known as the change in emotions. Of course, to put it simply, it is just a one-sided love on the part of one party while the other has no commitments.”
Master Zhao nodded slowly.
Although he did not quite understand, he felt that it made sense.
At that moment, Elder Moon followed the words written on the jade token and started to cook up stories.
Zhao Gongming’s eyes gradually lit up as he listened. Li Changshou wanted to speak, but Zhao Gongming stopped him and asked him not to interrupt for the time being.
That jade token was given to him by a boy when Elder Moon returned to the Hall of Marriage. He said that an unfamiliar Heavenly General had delivered it yesterday.
That jade token was given to him by a boy when Elder Moon returned to the Hall of Marriage. He said that an unfamiliar Heavenly General had delivered it yesterday.
Elder Moon opened it and took a look. He knew that it was the “answer” that the Water God had prepared for him.
After hearing only a dozen or so sentences said by Elder Moon, Zhao Gongming suddenly realized something.
“According to Elder Moon, should I face Junior Sister Golden Light head-on and talk to her openly?”
“That’s right. This is the most basic solution.” Elder Moon said in a low voice, “Dodging won’t solve the problem. One slash of the saber might cause you to miss your marriage.” “Hey.” Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “My Dao is not lonely. I have Changgeng! Why do I have to find another marriage?”
Li Changshou could not help but feel speechless… Elder Moon hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, don’t think that way. It’s one thing to have a close friend, but it’s another to have a Dao companion. As the saying went, the lonely Yin does not grow, and the lonely Yang does not grow either. Yin and Yang are also a Great Dao. Fellow Daoist, you are a Connate lifeform. There is no way for you to reproduce. Therefore, you do not have your own desires. You are different from Postnatal lifeforms who naturally have a need for partners.”
“However, living beings are not different from each other. All of them have empty Dao hearts. Fellow Daoist, you have been classified as a man since you were born. You are also destined to meet such a beauty.”
Li Changshou immediately smiled.
This segment was purely a free performance by Elder Moon. It was also of a high standard.
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and pondered. He asked, “Then, should I try to get along with Sister Golden Light?”
Li Changshou said, “Brother, you should consider this matter yourself. Others can’t interfere.”
“But what should we do?”
Zhao Gongming could not help but stand up and take two steps forward. He sighed and said, “You don’t know. Every time I want to talk to Junior Sister Golden Light, she would look at me with a fervent gaze. Ah, I really don’t have such thoughts. However, I can’t bear to hurt her mind. I can’t say ruthless words.”
Li Changshou and Elder Moon looked at each other and asked, “Elder Moon, is there a clay figurine of the Goddess of Golden Light here?”
“This…” Elder Moon stroked his beard and pondered.” Connate lifeforms do not enter the Hall of Marriage. I wonder how the Goddess of Golden Light is doing. However, Fellow Daoist Gongming does not have a clay figurine here, so this marriage cannot be controlled by me.” Zhao Gongming was instantly worried. “How should I complete this?”
“Why don’t you write a letter?” Li Changshou suggested with a smile. “Brother, write what you want to say in the letter and ask someone to pass it over. That way, she can consider carefully but not face it directly. It can also let her calm down and think carefully.”
“Letter?”
Zhao Gongming blinked and slapped his thigh.
“Brother, you have so many ideas! Let’s go. Let’s go to your Sea God Temple and think about how to write this letter!”
Then, Zhao Gongming pulled Li Changshou and hurriedly bade farewell to Elder Moon before heading towards the door of the Hall of Marriage.
Before he left, Zhao Gongming suddenly asked, “Brother, your marriage should be here. Since you’re here, why don’t you bring me to take a look?”
Li Changshou hurriedly sent a voice transmission. “Brother, you forgot again. You can’t confuse my names.”
“That’s true.” Zhao Gongming did not insist and flew to the South-Heaven Gate with Li Changshou.
At that moment, Li Changshou broke out in cold sweat…
When he rushed to the South-Heaven Gate, Li Changshou deliberately slowed down the cloud speed and asked with a smile, “Why did you invite Zhao Gongming to the Heavenly Courts for a visit?”
“Brother, what do you think of the Heavenly Courts?”
Zhao Gongming nodded and praised, “There’s abundant spiritual energy and traces of the Great Dao. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a sacred cultivation ground.”
However, Zhao Gongming changed his tone and shook his head. “Unfortunately, the power of the Heavenly Dao is too thick. It makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable. I feel that every word and action is monitored by the Heavenly Dao. It’s not smooth.”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “The Heavenly Dao is impartial. What’s wrong with supervising?”
“It’s probably because I’m used to being carefree.” Zhao Gongming looked at the Heavenly Courts, which was still a little desolate. There were clouds and beautiful scenery everywhere.
Zhao Gongming smiled with his hands behind his back and said, “I don’t admire the merit of the Heavenly Courts. I naturally don’t want to be controlled by the Heavenly Courts. I also don’t want to have the Dao of a ruler or minister. Why do I cultivate? First, I want to live forever. Then, I want to live a carefree life. I wanted to be free and unrestrained. I wanted my thoughts to be free and unfettered. Otherwise, how can I seek transcendence and find my true self?”
Li Changshou praised, “Brother, your words are thoughtful.”
At that moment, the South-Heaven Gate was already in sight. Zhao Gongming suddenly chuckled and the aura of an expert disappeared.
“Let’s go to your Sea God Temple to write a letter first!”
“Brother, just go. This incarnation still has to get busy in the Heavenly Courts. Another incarnation of mine is waiting for you there.”
“Your incarnations are here and there.” Zhao Gongming scolded him with a smile. “One day, I have to capture your main body and make him drink for three days and three nights! Oh, right. If my second sister had not appeared, it would have been extremely difficult for your main body to appear. Sigh, what brother or friend? I’m just not as good as a beloved confidant!”
Li Changshou blushed and smiled bitterly at Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming laughed out loud and flew out of the South-Heaven Gate on a cloud. The Heavenly Generals guarding the gate had already received the message. They pretended not to see the mighty figure of Jie School.
Li Changshou watched helplessly as Zhao Gongming left the Heaven Gate.
Goddess of Golden Light, ten Heavenly Lords…
That was also a catalyst for entering the God-Conferment Tribulation. Li Changshou did not know if he should forcefully intervene or let it go. To be safe, if he wanted to plot against the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he had to plan from the perspective of not knowing about the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Only then could he avoid the Heavenly Punishment.
The highest realm of scheming was not to do much, but to let everything that he wanted happen happen naturally.
Li Changshou suspected that that was the true meaning behind the words’ let nature take its course’…
“Lord Sea God? Oh no, Lord Water God! I actually met him here. Hahahaha!” A familiar voice sounded from afar. Li Changshou turned around and saw Hua Ritian riding a cloud.
“Marshal Hua.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed to Hua Ritian. They had a tacit understanding. They rode a cloud and flew towards the Sea God Residence, which had already begun to change the plaque.
Before he could finish speaking, Hua Ritian burst into laughter. He was in an extremely good mood and his emotions were in turmoil.
Li Changshou rode the cloud slowly and waited for the Jade Emperor to finish laughing…
After all, his main body could not be so unrestrained. He could only create an incarnation to vent his emotions.
Hua Ritian sent a voice transmission. “Changgeng, the matter regarding the dragon race has just been decided. I’m very relieved. Do you have any rewards that you want? If you have any requests, feel free to ask!”
Li Changshou thought of something and said, “Your Majesty, I really have a request today. I want a small plot of land in the Heavenly Courts.”
Hua Ritian smiled and said, “This is a small matter. It’s not enough to be a reward. It’s fine even if you want your residence to be expanded by ten or a hundred times.”
Li Changshou explained, “Your Majesty, I want a small piece of land beside the Tushita Palace. I want to move the residence closer to the Grand Supreme Elder.”
“Tushita Palace?”
Hua Ritian immediately looked serious. He pondered for a while and smiled. “You can decide for yourself. As long as the Grand Supreme Elder does not chase you away, the Heavenly Courts will let you stay in.”
Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission to thank him. He wanted the Jade Emperor to give him permission.
From now on, the Little Qiong Peak would naturally not appear in the Heavenly Courts. He had to disguise himself. Li Changshou had several different solutions to completing the fifth step of the “Little Qiong Peak’s Vagrancy Plan”.
The optimal plan was still lacking a mystical ability and an array formation. He had to seek help from the Great Daoist Master later.
“By the way, Changgeng.” Hua Ritian smiled and asked, “Do you have any leads on the matter regarding Lu Ya?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Your Majesty, I only know that Lu Jin is hiding in the Golden Crow Palace on the Sun.” “Oh?”
Hua Ritian looked at the sun in the sky and two golden rays flashed across his eyes. “Changgeng, why don’t you bring an army of troops to surround the Golden Crow Palace? I’ll secretly attack and kill the remaining demons of the Demon Court.”
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I’m afraid I can’t lead the troops there.”
Hua Ritian smiled. “That’s right. I almost forgot that your incarnation is made of paper. It can’t be near fire.”
“Moreover, Your Majesty, this little Golden Crow has the protection of the Saint. The Saint has concealed the heavenly secrets for him. The Great Daoist Master has personally made deductions for this matter.”
Hua Ritian squinted his eyes and his expression was solemn.
“If that’s the case, it will be troublesome.”
Li Changshou was slightly distracted. Through the paper effigy hidden in the forest at the border between the East Continent and the South Continent, he used his immortal senses to look at the couple of demons who were offering incense to Daoist Lu Ya’s memorial tablet…
I wonder how Fellow Daoist Lu Ya is doing.
