Chapter 602: Definitely This Time!

‘After this, I should not have any interaction with Wen Jing.’

Li Changshou pondered in his heart. He stood on the white cloud in front of the spiritual mountain and waited quietly. Thoughts rose in his heart.

A large number of Heavenly Soldiers carefully searched everywhere on the spiritual mountain.

Fortunately, there were not many ferocious beasts and demonic beasts found in the mountain gate of the spiritual mountain. If a chaotic battle really broke out at the mountain gate of the spiritual mountain, the lightning would roll and the earth fire would surge…

The Western Sect was probably going to prosper again.

His immortal senses scanned the surroundings of the spiritual mountain. A total of 236 ferocious beasts and demonic beasts had been captured by the Heavenly Soldiers. Most of them had been severely injured by the Heavenly Punishment and were no longer a threat.

Some of them were familiar faces. They had participated in the battle at the East Ocean Eye previously.

Perhaps it was because of their despair or because of the orders from the spiritual mountain, although they tried to fight to the death, they could not organize an effective resistance.

Even so, tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers had died. Most of them were dead.

The Heavenly Courts’ generals who came today were more or less injured.

There was no choice. The Heavenly Soldiers were too weak. The demonic beasts and ferocious beasts had deliberately launched a sneak attack. Even with the protection of the Heavenly Dao, it was difficult for them to survive a sneak attack.

The situation that happened on the spiritual mountain today would inevitably spread.

After all, they had been maintaining the live broadcast of the copper mirror.

Of course, the Heavenly Courts would still do as Li Changshou said in name and give the spiritual mountain enough face to protect the dignity of the six Saints.

Li Changshou deduced the various possibilities of what would happen next and made a new discovery.

On the spiritual mountain, the ferocious demons had been killed. Apart from greatly weakening the strength of the spiritual mountain, there was another far-reaching effect.

“A large group of Heavenly Soldiers will form a battle formation and cooperate with the power of the Heavenly Dao. They can already capture Golden Immortal realm experts steadily. Together with one or two experts, they can easily restrain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.”

From that day onward, the situation of the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Primordial World began to change.

If he wanted to be carefree, he could not do anything.

In the future, judging the strength of the Heavenly Courts could no longer be judged by the number of experts and great mystical abilities. The Heavenly Dao could descend at any time. It increased too much uncertainty.

According to Li Changshou’s deduction, there should be at least a hundred ferocious beasts and demonic beasts hidden in the mystic realm below the spiritual mountain.

However, after this battle, the spiritual mountain would either abandon them or restrain them. It could no longer be used.

The strategic goal was perfectly achieved.

“Teacher!”

The Golden-Winged Roc flew over from afar and cupped its fists at Li Changshou. “The search outside the spiritual mountain has been completed. No one has escaped. Should we search the spiritual mountain?”

“That’s all for today.”

Li Changshou said calmly, “Bring these ferocious beasts and demonic beasts to the Heaven Punishment Hall and interrogate them one by one. When I report to the Jade Emperor, I will execute them. At that time, the Three Realms will have to know about this matter.”

“Okay!”

The Golden Roc cupped his fists and accepted the order. He turned around to relay Li Changshou’s orders. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals quickly left the spiritual mountain and formed hundreds of battle formations to escort the ferocious beasts back to the sky.

The secret place of the spiritual mountain, where the Saint cultivated.

Saint Zhun Ti raised his head slightly. A hint of light flashed in his eyes. He was about to raise his left hand.

“There’s no need.”

A soft sigh sounded from the side. The black glow that was brewing in Zhun Ti’s left hand immediately dissipated.

The Saint who received him said, “The Heavenly Dao is circulating. It should be the situation. We only need to wait quietly.”

“Okay.”

Zhun Ti nodded slowly and said, “Senior Brother, did Li Changgeng really take Teacher’s decree? Didn’t Teacher promise us back then that as long as…”

“Is it important?”

Jie Yin revealed a faint smile, as if the one who was injured today was not his Western Sect.

The Saint said, “If the Heavenly Dao wants to prosper, it will first destroy and sharpen. Moreover, the Western Sect will prosper after this Great Tribulation. What we need to be wary of now is the Grand Pure One and the Jade Pure One. These two Fellow Daoists will not let us gain power easily.”

“Alright.” Daoist Zhun Ti did not say anything else. He closed his eyes and meditated. A faint, dense light emitted from his body.

On the cloud path, Li Changshou frowned slightly.

Previously, his Dao spiritual perception had rippled slightly, as if danger was approaching. However, he was fully alert for a while. He only felt a chill down his spine and nothing unusual happened.

Did the Saint want to attack me just now?

The corner of Li Changshou’s mouth twitched a few times.

He had already done so well and given the Western Sect so many excuses. The Saints were still so murderous…

Forget it, I’ll continue hiding.

Anyway, he had already done what he had to do. He would let the Golden Roc appear to deal with the trichiliocosm and let the Heavenly Courts’ soldiers train more. It would be fine if he hid behind and controlled the entire situation.

In the following years, he would cultivate, sleep, and punish Ling’e. At the same time, he would read the huge book left behind by Senior Lang and secretly use the Primordial Violet Qi of the Kun Peng Ark to observe the Primordial Heavenly Dao…

It was stable and comfortable.

In the secluded pavilion on the Three-Immortal Island…

“Sister! Brother-in-law came out of the spiritual mountain alive!”

Bi Xiao jogged on the cloud and jumped into the window of the attic. She held the communication jade token and shouted happily.

In the pavilion, there was the sound of water behind the screen.

Fairy Yun Xiao, who was bathing in the clouds, stood up when she heard the voice. When she turned out of the screen, she was already dressed in a thin green shirt. Her black hair dried on its own, wrapped around, and curled into the shape of a phoenix’s tail. Her fair and slender neck was even more eye-catching.

She looked at Bi Xiao helplessly and said gently, “Don’t say that. Since he dared to go, he naturally made a thorough plan.”

“Hehe, I’m worried for Sister.”

Bi Xiao smiled and made a face. She, who had always maintained the temperament of a young girl, had a pure Dao heart that was almost pure and untainted. She was not afraid of anything. She was only afraid that her elder sister would kneel down.

It was a common problem in Jie School.

Bi Xiao asked softly, “Sister, is Brother-in-law really helping Grandmaster this time?”

“Yes.” Fairy Yun Xiao walked to her dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. She pondered for a while and replied, “I can’t say for sure. He has never talked to me about these things.”

Yun Xiao’s pavilion did not have a dressing table. As a woman dressed up for her lover, she had a dressing table.

Bi Xiao took out an immortal fruit from her sleeve and took a small bite. She sighed softly. “Now that Brother-in-law has moved to the Heavenly Courts, I can’t play with him anymore.”

“You can go to the Heavenly Courts,” Yun Xiao said. “However, we are in the midst of the Great Tribulation. It’s not appropriate for us to move around. If we go to the Heavenly Courts, we will easily attract gossip from Chan School and make it difficult for him. That’s the second reason.”

“Sister, why are you so worried about a Dao companion?”

Bi Xiao smiled and said, “In my opinion, the battle between the great sects is a battle between the great sects. Private matters are private matters. Go to the Heavenly Courts openly and let them say whatever they want. Why should we care about them?”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly. Bi Xiao immediately stopped and added softly, “I mean, others can’t affect our Dao hearts.”

“Go and cultivate,” Yun Xiao said gently.

“Ah.” Bi Xiao shrank her neck and turned around to float out of the window. She patted her chest and disappeared.

Yun Xiao sat in front of the mirror and fell into a daze. Not long after, she sighed softly and hung the copper coin in her hand on the edge of the bronze mirror. Her gentle gaze became more determined.

As long as he survived the Great Tribulation, he could no longer be restrained.

…

During the trip to the spiritual mountain, the prestige of the Heavenly Courts soared. The Heavenly Courts officially leaped above the Saint’s sect.

Li Changshou led the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals back in triumph. The two Saints of the spiritual mountain did not attack from the beginning to the end. The disciples of the spiritual mountain did not resist at all and allowed the Heavenly Courts to capture the fighters that they had secretly nurtured for many years.

Three days later, in front of the Middle Heavenly Gate, the ferocious beasts were killed.

At that time, the scene was very spectacular. The Heavenly Courts had invited all the mighty figures of the Primordial World to observe the ceremony.

At noon that day, the huge corpse and endless blood dyed the white clouds. A continuous rain of blood fell from a desolate mountain in the Middle Continent.

That seemed to be the end of a Primordial Era. It represented the opening of another Primordial Era.

In the Three Realms Era,

Nine days later, the Heavenly Soldiers entered the western and southern regions of the South Continent. The immortals of the Heavenly Courts appeared everywhere and overturned the Burning Incense Divine Sect of the Western Sect.

A month later, the restrictions on the five continents were officially lifted.

The Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Soldiers each sent out 100,000 troops and gathered the million troops of the Dragon Palace. They entered the trichiliocosm and headed towards the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom that was closest to the five continents.

This was an expedition that was destined to last for a long time.

The Heavenly Courts would directly interfere with the battle of the trichiliocosm. However, under Li Changshou’s control, they would control the speed of their advancement and make the Immortal Alliance and the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom suffer the same losses.

At the same time, the Heavenly Courts began to secretly increase their support for the Heaven Ascension Hall.

Only Li Changshou, General Dongmu, and a few other officials with authority in the Heavenly Courts knew the details of the Heaven Ascension Hall.

Three months later, the Heavenly Courts announced that they would send troops to guard the north and south border of the Aparagodānīya Continent.

The influence of the Western Sect on the five continents had dropped to the lowest since ancient times.

Half a year later, good news came from the trichiliocosm. The Heavenly Courts and the Dragon Palace’s mixed army destroyed a Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and established a foothold in the trichiliocosm. They established the first stationed place that was directly under the Heavenly Courts.

However, the trichiliocosm was too vast. It was not realistic to rely on the Heavenly Courts’ troops.

Li Changshou’s idea was to continuously develop the Heaven Ascension Hall’s forces in a subtle balance. He wanted to fight for more than 80% of the Major Chiliocosm to be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Courts in three thousand years. He wanted to implement the rule of the Heavenly Courts and implement the separation of immortals and mortals. He wanted to preserve the path of mortals seeking immortality.

In Li Changshou’s opinion, that was not a grand plan.

It was just taking advantage of the situation.

However, what made Li Changshou depressed was that he…

He had done so much and worked hard for so long. Although he could not be said to have been in danger repeatedly, he had worked hard even if he did not receive any credit. However, the Heavenly Dao did not give him the merit needed to condense the Golden Body of Merit.

What he was worried about began to happen.

The merit from incense offerings, the merit salary given by the Heavenly Courts…

It was restricted.

After completing the layout of the trichiliocosm, another thirty years passed.

Li Changshou had naturally gone to the Grand Pure Palace. In the past thirty years, he had been listening to lectures in the Grand Pure Palace for twenty years.

He had been by his teacher’s side for more than twenty years. No one would believe him if he said that the two of them did not chat or plot against each other. Teacher Taiqing was still in a good mood.

However, there was nothing substantial about what they were talking about. His teacher only had 300 sentences in total, and they were all separately said. He had gone from the Heavenly Dao to the Great Tribulation…

Anyway, he understood everything.

Ever since he returned from the Grand Pure One Palace, Li Changshou had been in seclusion for ten years. During that period, he had been staring at the changes in his merit.

He repeatedly confirmed and kept waiting with a hint of hope. Only today was he completely sure.

The Golden Body of Merit was perfectly stuck at 98%.

The Golden Body of Merit was a complete success. There was no room for improvement. One had to reach the amount set by the Heavenly Dao to transform.

That day.

Li Changshou looked at himself and then at the Merit Treasure Pool that was about to be filled but was still unsatisfied. He frowned and pondered for a while. Finally, he sighed dejectedly.

What can I do?

Could it be that I have to stand up and criticize the Heavenly Dao, say that the boss of the Heavenly Dao is not human and run away with a large amount of merit with the Creation Jade Disc?

Then, I would go to the Western Sect to transfer the credit?

This…

Now, he could basically confirm that the Dao Ancestor did not give him merit because he did not want to be restrained by the Heavenly Dao like Senior Brother Xuan Du had said.

Didn’t the Dao Ancestor release the eighth and ninth wisp of Primordial Violet Qi just to tie him up?

The Dao Ancestor clearly did not want him to use the Golden Body of Merit to establish a connection with the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the Heavenly Dao deeply.

That was probably the consideration of maintaining the stability of the world.

“Ah.”

In front of the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou lay on the rocking chair. His eyes were listless, and his lips were pale. He looked dejected.

He was like an immortal fish that had been cooped up in the house for thirty years. Today, he walked out and sunbathed to avoid mold.

Ling’e, who was originally cultivating by the lake, blinked and rode a cloud over. She was dressed in a short grass-green skirt and a pair of embroidered sandals. She did not put on any makeup, but she looked beautiful.

She jumped down from the cloud and landed on the left side of the reclining chair. She placed her hands behind her back and leaned forward to observe Li Changshou’s listless expression.

It was rare.

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Li Changshou waved his hand weakly and sighed. “Even if I live forever, I might not be happy. There are many helpless things in the world. My heart can’t be perfect.”

Ling’e blinked. Although she was unwilling to take the initiative to mention it, she still asked softly, “You… quarreled with Sister Yun Xiao?”

“It’s nothing to do with her.” Li Changshou raised his left hand and patted Ling’e’s head gently. “Don’t ask too much. Do you think you’re already a mature little fairy because I didn’t ask you to copy the sutra recently?”

“No!”

Ling’e did not know why, but she was inexplicably happy. She took out a pocket-sized rocking chair from her sleeve and blew on the fragrant orchid immortal Qi. The rocking chair turned into its normal size and was placed beside Li Changshou.

Ling’e smiled and lay down. She supported her chin with one hand and blinked at her senior brother.

“Senior Brother, if you can’t lift your spirits, look at me. I can help you fight.”

Li Changshou glanced at her. He wanted to admire the famous scene in the backyard of the “Little Qiong Peak is in a fog” again, but he sighed and lay there in a daze.

Clouds rolled and clouds filled the sky.

It was indeed a blow that he could not condense the Merit Golden Body that he had been worried about for many years.

Although the path to comprehending the Heavenly Dao was replaced by the Primordial Violet Vapor, he still felt aggrieved.

The Heavenly Dao was acting shamelessly. The Dao Ancestor was pretending to be confused. Who could he reason with?

Then why did he leave the merit in his body?

Li Changshou looked deep in thought. Ling’e, who was at the side, had already gritted her teeth and was about to ruthlessly use the “Enchantment Spell”. When she saw that, she could not help but focus, afraid that she would disturb her senior brother’s consideration.

Soon, Li Changshou slapped his thigh, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

Are you not giving me the Golden Body of Merit?

I don’t want it!

He had to be steady because his morals were not perfect. Therefore, he did not deserve to have the Golden Body of Merit. It had nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor.

Li Changshou turned to look at Ling’e and asked, “What do you like about defensive Dharma treasures and killing Dharma treasures?”

Ling’e blinked and quickly reacted.

It was a common question and a small test.

“An escape-type Dharma treasure!”

“Oh? You’re ambitious.”

Li Changshou praised and took out a silver shuttle from his sleeve. Golden light surged in his palm, and his expression was extremely solemn.

He was not good at refining artifacts, but he was good at finding “junk” in some corners of the Tushita Palace.

Although his current Dao Realm was barely adequate and his mystical abilities were mediocre, it was still quite difficult to refine the Dharma treasure that the Grand Supreme Elder casually refined.

However, it was not difficult to balance the power of the Yin-Yang Five Elements and add some supreme-grade ancient treasures…

Half a day later, five-colored lights circulated on the silver shuttle. The Yin-Yang Twin Fish at the bottom slowly rotated, causing Ling’e to exclaim continuously. With this treasure in hand, he could greatly enhance the Five-Element escape technique.

If he entered it, he could form a Dao law domain and enter the Chaos Sea freely.

Then, Li Changshou carved the word ‘Shou’ on the side of the shuttle and handed the carving knife to Ling’e.

Ling’e’s face was flushed red. She pursed her lips and wrote “E” on the paper. She was already at the edge of “smoking”.

She asked softly, “The previous question was not a test.”

“Yes, I haven’t made any decent treasures for you to protect yourself all these years.” Li Changshou took the shuttle over, his eyes shining.

If one was not ruthless, one would not be able to stand steadily!

He had to be brave to gain!

A dazzling golden divine light surged in his palm. Li Changshou gritted his teeth and pushed forward. A vast amount of merit surged into the silver shuttle.

“Show yourself!”

A top-grade Postnatal merit escape treasure!

Golden light surged and the Little Qiong Peak was covered in a layer of golden light.

After a while, Li Changshou took a deep breath. His eyes were calm as he placed the shuttle that was surrounded by treasure light in Ling’e’s palm.

“Take it and play with it.”

Ling’e was speechless.

“Senior Brother, are you really giving it to me?”

“There’s no division between us. We can share treasures.” Li Changshou stretched and felt much more relaxed. His Dao heart was suddenly enlightened.

Although he had spent 60% of his accumulated merit, it was quite an accomplishment to be able to obtain a supreme-grade Merit Numinous treasure and give it to his junior sister.

It was a rare luxury.

He had to bring a bowl of water to a draw. Later, he would use the remaining Golden Body of Merit to refine a cloud robe and go to the Three-Immortal Island to take a stroll.

Suddenly!

Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Courts suddenly changed. A golden cloud covered the backyard of the Grand White Palace. Hundreds of auspicious signs surged out from it. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a golden pillar of light and smashed down. Without any explanation, it enveloped Li Changshou!

Merit!

A vast amount of pure Heavenly Dao merit!

At the same time, the Great Dao in Li Changshou’s heart trembled. It condensed a few words and stuck to his essence soul.

“This time, definitely.”
