Chapter 572: This Kun Peng Is Abnormally Active
Sigh…
To Pangu, all living beings were respected.
In the spirit platform, Li Changshou’s essence soul sighed softly.
The endless Primordial World could not contain a single Pangu. There were no longer any traces of the Pangu God among the countless living beings. Only the story of splitting open the sky was left in the world.
He could not help but think about the past and the present. He thought about Dao Ancestor Hong Jun, the Heavenly Dao, Senior Lang, and the six Saints in the world.
There were no limits to the Dao, but cultivators had their limits.
The world that the Pangu God wanted to see was ultimately still in the ancient times. When living beings stepped into the realm of Saints, they would naturally seal the paths of the later generations.
How should I deal with my Art of Equalization in the world?
Li Changshou’s essence soul returned to silence. He distinguished and digested the insights accumulated in his Dao heart.
‘It’s been a long time.’
That thought surfaced in his heart. He could vaguely sense that the Grand White Palace of the Heavenly Courts was fine. There were no fluctuations in the world that were related to him. Therefore, he sank into the Dao enlightenment realm in peace.
The Heavenly Courts had the Jade Emperor guarding it. Bai Ze was in the trichiliocosm. He still had his senior brother and a few experts from the Dao Sect around him. He was protected by the Taiji Painting and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. There was also a wisp of his attention wandering around…
If that cultivation was not stable, Li Changshou could only find a reason to enter seclusion in the Grand Pure One Temple.
The process of the Pangu God’s death gave Li Changshou a huge shock.
Li Changshou asked himself. If he were in that position, he would definitely not be able to be so carefree and die calmly.
How could there be no bloodshed during change?
How could Li Changshou not understand that logic? The one who was in charge of the change was him, Taibai Jinxing. He was also prepared to let others bleed at any time.
In the Primordial World.
Heavenly Dao.
It was balanced.
Living beings.
The sanguine clouds around Li Changshou dissipated. The blood aura that had surged like a tide due to the “Pangu Visualization Painting” returned to silence in his mystic body.
No matter how strong his body was, it was useless in fights of magical powers. It could not determine his combat strength.
The level of comprehension of the Great Dao and the level of the Dao Realm determined the height he stood at.
Gradually, Li Changshou sank into the Great Dao. It was as if he had entered a dream called the creation of the world.
After an unknown period of time,
Li Changshou’s mind was disturbed. He opened his eyes, and they were filled with confusion. Then, the confusion quickly disappeared. His eyes flickered, and muffled thunder sounded everywhere in the Xuandu City.
The Great Dao trembled.
Although he did not have a huge breakthrough in the Dao Realm during this seclusion, his understanding of the Great Dao was more thorough.
Even the path that he was going to take in the future appeared clearly in front of him.
“You’re awake?”
The Great Daoist Master’s soft voice sounded from the side. Li Changshou smiled and nodded. He looked at the Great Daoist Master, who was meditating on the city wall in the distance, and the fairy, who was standing quietly hundreds of feet away from him.
Yun Xiao smiled warmly and nodded at Li Changshou.
Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit flew over from afar.
The array formation in the Xuandu City had been completed. The other Dao Sect immortals had already returned to the Primordial World and did not stay there for long.
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and deduced. He realized that he had cultivated for more than seventy to eighty years.
The low-level ordinary gods of authority could not help but ask if the Heavenly Courts were stable or if anything major had happened in the world.
However, Li Changshou knew that there was no outcome to his question. It would ruin the atmosphere.
Hence, he asked warmly, “Have you been here all this time?”
“Yes.” Yun Xiao nodded slightly.
“Thank you.” Li Changshou stood up and bowed. Yun Xiao bowed back and felt the respect between them.
That respect was actually more important to Yun Xiao.
The composite array of the Xuandu City was much simpler than the composite array of the Little Qiong Peak. However, it required more materials.
This array formation focused more on the sturdiness and the efficient use of spiritual energy. In a short period of time, the spiritual energy of the array formation would be transferred rapidly.
The highlight of the array formation was mainly between three states—defensive, offensive, and energy-efficient.
Li Changshou did not hide anything this time. After all, this place concerned the stability and defense of the Three Realms. He could not let his guard down. He handed over his insights on the Chain Array.
It could be considered a small gift to the experts of the Dao Sect that he was familiar with.
Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit walked forward. Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed. He invited Yun Xiao and the two of them to rush to the Great Daoist Master’s side.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Changgeng, the array you designed is really not bad. From now on, I can sleep peacefully. Ahem, I can guard this place steadily.”
“Senior Brother has worked hard. Senior Brother has worked hard.”
Li Changshou gave him a thumbs-up and asked if anything major had happened in the Three Realms while he was in seclusion.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “I knew that you were concerned about that. I waited here and asked Mr. Bai to deliver news every three years. Everything is fine. Don’t worry. Previously, Mr. Bai reported that a Saintess had gone to look for you twice recently and had yet to find you. Mr. Bai also did not tell her that you were in seclusion.”
Saintess?
Aunt-Master Jiu?
Li Changshou looked enlightened. He smiled and said, “I should be lacking wine to drink… Senior Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to the Heavenly Courts first. Counting the time, don’t delay some important matters.”
“Just go.” The Great Daoist Master waved his sleeve. The Cosmic Ruler flew out and was about to land in front of Li Changshou.
However, Li Changshou pushed the Cosmic Ruler back and said seriously, “The Demon Master Kun Peng is coveting the land of the Three Realms. The Cosmic Ruler should stay by your side, Senior Brother.”
“Okay.”
The Great Daoist Master patted Li Changshou’s shoulder and sighed.
“Your current cultivation level is enough for you to protect yourself. However, remember that when facing a Saint, you have to ask Teacher to help in advance. Sometimes, Teacher might not be able to capture your situation in time.”
“Yes,” Li Changshou agreed with a smile.
Senior Brother must have misunderstood…
Can I protect myself now? Not necessarily. I’m far from it.
Also, why should I face the Saint head-on? The last time I protected Yang Jian, I was actually representing the Heavenly Courts and the Jade Emperor. I was only prepared to fight.
It was impossible for him to attack. He would never attack in his life.
The Great Daoist Master suddenly asked via voice transmission, “If Kun Peng attacks again, do you need me to ask for you…”
“Senior Brother, don’t talk too much to Kun Peng.” Li Changshou immediately sent a voice transmission. “That Kun Peng is deliberately pretending to keep the suspense. I can roughly deduce what the item in his hand is. The implications of this matter are too great. Moreover, it has something to do with me. If I tell you, Senior Brother, it will be pulling you into this vortex.”
“Are you confident that you can escape unscathed?”
“I’m only 80% confident now.” Li Changshou looked at the Chaos Sea outside the array formation. “However, some things should definitely happen. I just have to do my best and not cause any trouble. I can still be more confident.”
“That’s good.”
The Great Daoist Master nodded with a smile. His eyes were filled with peace. He no longer sent a voice transmission and said warmly, “If there’s anything I can do for you, don’t be shy.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while. “Senior Brother, there might really be two important matters later.”
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. He did not know if his comrade, Wen Jianguo, who was in the Western Sect, was still loyal to Ren School.
In addition, in order to improve Kong Xuan’s impression of Ren School, it was time to arrange for her to be a sister-in-law.
Yes, when I go back, I’ll make a Nine Revolutions… My heart is burning.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du took out the “Pangu Visualization Painting” from his sleeve and muttered, “Why do I feel that you’re plotting against me?”
“How is that possible!?!”
Li Changshou hurriedly denied, “Senior Brother, I’ll leave this painting with you. I’ll just draw another one when I get back.”
Zhao Gongming could not help but ask, “Changgeng, what did you comprehend this time? Why did I stay at the entrance of the Heaven and Earth for more than ten years? I only saw some messy images.”
Upon hearing that, Li Changshou could not help but recall the simple conversation he had with the groundhog, ahem, and Senior Lang when Pangu’s god died.
“Ah… I was lucky to see the mighty figure of the Pangu God. Only then did I know what the peak of living beings is and how shallow my Dao is. The path ahead is long and endless. Senior Brother, Brother, Senior Sister Jin Ling, Yun, I hope that you and I can pluck the fruit of the Great Dao and understand the true meaning of Transcendence.”
The few of them looked at each other and smiled.
At that moment, Li Changshou suddenly realized that he was standing in the middle of the group and was inadvertently surrounded by them.
The Xuandu City had already returned to silence. Li Changshou was worried about the situation in the Great White Hall and did not stay any longer.
On the way back, Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit deliberately left first. At the same time, they tricked the Golden Roc that had been waiting for their teacher at the other side of the entrance.
Li Changshou knew Master Zhao’s intentions, but he was still worried.
Yun Xiao rode a cloud under the starry night in the void. He sat beside Yun Xiao and closed his eyes to shift his mind. He quickly “patrolled” the Three Realms.
Goddess Nuwa was right. If Li Changshou was more capable, he would probably have to monitor the Three Realms all the time.
An hour later, Li Changshou opened his eyes and exhaled.
Yun Xiao smiled and asked, “Are you at ease?”
“Don’t worry,” Li Changshou said. “The Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas are fine. The Grand White Palace is stable as usual. The Six Paths of Reincarnation are stable. The Heavenly Courts are still in a half-sealed state. General Dongmu is also safe. It’s just that the Human Emperor of the South Continent is about to be born. You have to keep a close eye on this.”
Yun Xiao blinked and asked softly, “You have to worry so much usually. How can you still comprehend the Dao?”
“I have to mention my time management skills.”
“Huh?”
“It’s just a reasonable allocation of time and the management of 24 hours a day… Why don’t we continue talking about this while playing chess?”
Li Changshou took out the chessboard from his sleeve. Yun Xiao smiled gently, her eyes filled with eagerness.
The atmosphere was very important when the two of them were alone.
At this stage, he could not forcefully start a topic or make himself appear talkative. Through the activities that the two of them could participate in, he could make the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable.
As the chess pieces landed, the two of them gradually chatted away.
Yun Xiao seemed to be as worried as the Great Daoist Master. She asked, “Do you really not need to go to the Chaos Sea? Are the things that belong to Kun Peng important to you?”
In other words, if it was important, she would think of a way to snatch it back.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s just a trick played by Kun Peng. Don’t take it to heart. Don’t take risks for this matter.”
“Yes,” Yun Xiao replied gently. She seemed to have something to say but did not say it.
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart.
He said, “Do you want to ask me about my background?”
Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with guilt. She said gently, “The Heavenly Dao, Uncle-Master, and Grandmaster have already acknowledged and approved of you. I shouldn’t ask…”
“What’s wrong with that? I would be worried if you’re not curious about me.”
Li Changshou drew a few barriers around him. Yun Xiao immediately set up two layers of immortal power barriers.
To be safe, Li Changshou held the Pagoda Master in his palm and extended his right hand to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao understood and reached out her left hand to meet his palm. The two of them looked at each other and their spiritual wills sounded in their hearts.
That way, he could guarantee that the conversation between the two of them would not be heard by other living beings and treasures.
It was still unknown if the Heavenly Dao could monitor the spiritual will. However, the Dao Ancestor already knew what Li Changshou wanted to say.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Where should I start? There are some questions that I have yet to confirm. I don’t know how I came about, so I temporarily ignored them. You can pretend that I was not in the Primordial World in my previous life, but in a corner. That might be the afterlife of the Primordial World, or the world outside the Primordial World. The Dao laws there are different from the Primordial World, but the state of living beings is similar… I can’t say too much because I’m afraid it will affect your cultivation. I was also a mortal in my previous life. I was careful for half my life and could not escape the fate of falling ill at the end. That’s it.”
Yun Xiao blinked. “Then why does Kun Peng say that your hometown seems to be very special?”
“Probably because of his thoughts. The matter here is very complicated. It cannot be said in the world.”
Li Changshou thought for a while and suddenly looked serious. He stared at Yun Xiao and said seriously, “We’ll talk about it after we get married.”
Yun Xiao was stunned at first. Then, she frowned slightly. Her face turned red and hot. She took the initiative to avoid Li Changshou’s half-smile.
He pursed his thin lips and squeezed out a sentence.
“Why are you suddenly… so indecent?”
“How is that indecent? This is a huge matter in life.”
There was a hint of longing in Li Changshou’s eyes. However, he rationally changed the topic to avoid embarrassing the fairy.
It would really take a hundred times more effort to fall in love with the female mighty figure of the Primordial World.
At the same time, in the Chaos Sea, in the half-destroyed Cave Abode where Li Changshou and Yun Xiao had “pecked” the Dao laws previously…
…
Impossible!
This is impossible!
It has been so long. Why hasn’t that foreigner come to look for me?
Did I give too few hints, or is he too stupid?
In the old molting Cave Abode of Kun Peng, Kun Peng transformed into a human and paced back and forth. Its gaze was rather sharp.
Damn it!
He was clearly just a step away from wiping away the mark that that bastard had imprinted in his essence soul back then and restoring his true freedom!
Previously, he had already taken the risk to appear in the Xuandu City. Was his sincerity not enough?
However, he was a little helpless.
Kun Peng actually did not understand why, according to the news from the Skyfiends that had sneaked into the Primordial World, there would be a large number of rumors about Kun Peng incarnations and second essence souls overnight.
He had arranged the old molting almost flawlessly. Even when the old molting had met a certain impatient Saint in the Chaos Sea several times, he had not revealed any flaws.
However, why was the old molting killed by that foreigner, and why were there rumors in the Primordial World that others had seen through his scheme?
As for the legendary Maitreya of the Western Sect…
However, a short-sighted person was not a threat. It had nothing to do with him.
The Western Sect was only a ruthless person. The others… were nothing.
Kun Peng slowed down. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, but they were soon filled with fear.
He could not underestimate an existence that was similar to that bastard.
These foreigners were ten times more vicious than his heart!
Of course, this foreigner should not be comparable to the one from back then. The latter was already an extremely cunning existence in the knowledge of the Demon Master Kun Peng.
Did something go wrong with me? Or is it because I’m too famous that this outsider does not dare to come to the Chaos Sea?
Kun Peng was a little depressed.
He admitted that he was not a good being. In the mainstream opinion of the Primordial World, he was also a ferocious living being. However, he was far from being as evil as the Abominable Lord.
In the ancient times, he only did things according to the rules of the Primordial World. He killed and snatched treasures and hid everywhere. He was unscrupulous in order to become stronger.
During the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation and the end of the ancient times, it was the survival mode of the living beings of the Primordial World.
During the period of the Demon Court, most of the time, he was just a messenger of the Demon Emperor. Some evil deeds and bad reputation were carried by the Demon Emperor. He had received corresponding rewards. Below the two emperors of the Demon Court, he was above ten thousand demons.
The reason he could become a Demon Master was mainly because he had participated in the construction of the Heavenly Cycle Star Array.
Many times, the Demon Emperor would sit on the high seat and wait for him to speak and for someone to suggest it.
It can’t be that the Demon Emperor directly said, “We, the Heavenly Courts, can kill other living beings without restraint and refine Dharma treasures to strengthen ourselves.”
The Demon Emperor must have discussed with him in advance and given him some benefits as a minister so that he would take the initiative to submit during the court assembly.
At that time, the two demon emperors would hesitate for a long time and show some reluctance. They would persuade him and say that this matter was for the sake of the stability of the world…
In the end, the one who left behind a benevolent reputation was naturally the Demon Emperor. The one who carried the infamy was the vicious Demon Master.
However, Kun Peng did not care.
“Hmph! This little bastard!”
Kun Peng squinted, and a strong killing intent rose in his heart. He fumbled in his sleeve for a while, took out a few black Dharma artifacts and pearls, and casually threw them to the side.
With a few explosions, a few black shadows of women flew out of the pearl and knelt behind Kun Peng.
They were not living beings of the Primordial World, but they were similar to living beings of the Primordial World. Their faces and figures were in line with the appearance of the fairies of the Primordial World. In the Primordial World where fairies generally had soft light effects, they could be considered beauties. There was also a subtle “exotic” feeling.
Kun Peng smiled faintly.
That outsider’s flaw might be like his bastard senior, who had no resistance to these things.
Just wait!
I will definitely let you know the consequences of playing with me!
“All fiends, listen up!”
…
Hence, three months later…
In the bright sunlight in front of the Pill Chamber in the Little Qiong Peak in the backyard of the Grand White Palace,
Ling’e, who was dressed in a short skirt and had her hair tied into two buns, sat on the meditation cushion in front of the Pill Chamber. She hugged her essence and returned to one with her eyes closed.
Li Changshou half lay on the rocking chair. A bronze mirror floated in front of him, and snacks and hot tea floated beside him.
In the copper mirror, Yang Jian was fighting alone. A team of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were cheering and waving flags in the sky.
At this moment when the Heavenly Courts were keeping a low profile, it was not bad to have an unusually active Heavenly Courts general who the Western Sect did not dare to take revenge on.
Since Yang Jian had taken this path, he would help him promote it later. He would expand his reputation and increase his influence.
Yang Jian had chosen the path himself. He, Taibai Jinxing, did not plan anything this time. He was just taking advantage of the situation.
Not long after, Ling’e opened her eyes and asked, “Senior Brother, do you want to have a fresh cup of tea?”
“There’s no need to trouble yourself.” Li Changshou seemed to have mentioned something trivial. He said, “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll bring you back to my hometown to take a look.”
After saying that, Li Changshou stood up and stretched his muscles.
It was about time to descend to the mortal world to preside over the succession of the “ruler of the world” and the establishment of the Shang Tribe.
He did not know if the Heavenly Dao would give him merit this time and enhance his pitiful 98% of the Golden Body of Merit.
“Oh.”
Ling’e answered and lowered her head to read the contents of the jade token. When Li Changshou left on a cloud, she was stunned.
Home? To pay respects to his senior brother’s parents? To officially obtain his approval?
Boom!
Li Changshou stared in front of the Pill Chamber with his immortal senses in shock. He saw a small mushroom cloud float up from Ling’e’s forehead. Her exquisite body swayed, and her eyes were filled with spirals.
What could she have thought of?
In the future, I’ll give birth to a boy named Li Zheng. I’ll give birth to a girl named Li Xiang! I’ll call her Haoran or Yanran! I’ll see if Senior Brother likes her! Ah ~
