Chapter 691: First Battle Between Chan And Jie Schools

In the God-Conferment Platform, a hall was rising from the ground.

In that place, the power of the Heavenly Dao was like a 3D printer. It vividly portrayed the matter of “printing”. The hall was completed from the bottom to the dome.

Ao Bing was already sitting opposite the short table. He was a little reserved and did not dare to look up at the person in front of him…

Uncle.

Taibai Jinxing was the second-stage legitimate god that the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts trusted the most. His achievements so far were enough to be written into a biography with more than three million words. Ao Bing had naturally seen various portraits of the great benefactor of the dragon race.

He was just a little emotional just now. He felt that it was an embarrassment that he, the dignified dragon prince, had retreated from the Primordial World stage too easily.

However, after quickly recognizing the reality, Ao Bing quickly found his position…

Position? Ao Bing’s eyes were filled with confusion. He sat there and fell into deep thought.

At that moment, he was neither a dragon nor a ghost. He seemed to be dead or alive. The pain he felt when he was hit by the spear seemed endless. It was as if he had been banished to a desolate land.

The silence made him unwilling to experience it again.

“You live quite well here, don’t you?”

Li Changshou casually found a topic to talk about.

Ao Bing replied, “Ah, it’s not bad. I’m quite close to the Great Dao. I have many insights.”

Li Changshou said, “Are you blaming your father? Do you feel that you were abandoned by the dragon race when you were born? Are you angry and resentful?”

Ao Bing blinked and whispered, “No, no… It’s not to that extent, I guess.”

“There’s only you and me here. There’s no need to hide,” Li Changshou said warmly. “I know you’re troubled. Just voice your worries now. You can treat me as an elder or a good friend. I will try my best to enlighten you.”

Ao Bing’s Adam’s apple trembled. “Do I have to do this?”

Li Changshou smiled warmly. “Yes.”

“Then, then I… I guess.”

Ao Bing lowered his head and sighed. He hurriedly made up a short story.

It was actually quite good for him to live in the Dragon Palace.

Ever since he had the ability to reproduce, he had shouldered the responsibility of carrying on the bloodline of the Dragon King’s family. He had tried everything. Every day, he was unrestrained and carefree. When he mentioned that his father was the Dragon King of the East Ocean, he basically walked freely in the sea.

However, his father never summoned him. There was no celebration ceremony after he was born. He would feel a little unbalanced.

“Then,” Ao Bing asked softly, “Does an unjustified death count? Who is that little fellow? Why is he so powerful? Isn’t the human race very weak? Even if he is your godson, he should cultivate, right? Has he gained such abilities in two to three years? Is that reasonable? I charged and was instantly killed. That’s too aggrieving!”

Li Changshou could not help but stroke his beard and smile.

“Nezha’s background is actually quite complicated. Due to the schemes of a Saint of the Western Sect, Nezha was tainted by the Fiend Ancestor’s murderous aura. Therefore, I had no choice but to pour the Dharma powers of his previous life into his spirit embryo. Then, I used the Spiritual Energy Array to let him absorb endless spiritual energy in his mother’s womb. Although he has yet to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation, that is because his realm is not high enough. However, his combat strength and Dharma powers are not what ordinary Golden Immortals can compare to. You did not lose for nothing.”

Ao Bing blinked and frowned as he thought for a while. His expression was slightly complicated. Then, he smiled bitterly.

“I’m the one who embarrassed the dragon race. I plotted to frame others and got killed. I really embarrassed the ancestors.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said seriously, “Actually, you don’t have to think about that.”

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, I’ve always known that my bloodline is weak and that I’m not an outstanding dragon prince. You might not know the rules of the dragon race. According to the rules, a dragon egg like me is considered a useless egg. I cannot take up the incubation quota of the dragon race. Because we were burdened with negative karma in ancient times, a few Grand Elders in the clan had refined a set of Dharma treasures that could deduce how many dragon princes the dragon race would produce every ten thousand years, so as to not cause any negative effects on the extremely meager luck. It’s because of similar considerations that our dragon race can survive until today.”

Ao Bing heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the table in front of him in disappointment.

“Especially Father’s children. Every one of them carries the luck of the dragon race. Therefore, although Mother has given birth to many dragon eggs, the ones that are really used to hatch are carefully selected.

Take my Second Brother for example. The Dragon King bloodline in his body is a hundred times stronger than mine.

I still don’t understand what I came to this world for. Is it to be killed by that brat Nezha?”

“That’s right. That’s the meaning of your existence.”

Li Changshou said frankly.

Ao Bing clenched his fists. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the old immortal in front of him.

Li Changshou said, “The dragon race needs a catalyst. If someone of a high status is sacrificed, it will stir the emotions of the entire dragon race. Then, it will lead the dragon race to seek their own trouble and curb a power struggle to prevent the trend of increasing personal desires. You are the chosen victim. Nezha is that wall that you have to be slammed against. I’m one of the promoters behind you. That’s why I’m sitting here today. I want to give you some compensation.”

“Is what you said true?”

“That’s right,” Li Changshou said. “There’s no benefit in lying to you.”

Ao Bing was stunned for a few moments. Then, he smiled happily and said, “So I have such a purpose. Not bad, not bad.”

Yes!

Li Changshou was a little confused. He looked at Ao Bing who was in front of him and began to reflect if his thoughts were too complicated.

Ao Bing stood up and bowed. He sat back down and said happily,

“Thank you for your guidance, Lord Taibai Jinxing. I feel much better now. It turns out that I have a purpose. Finally! For so many years, I thought that I was an accident and that Father had accidentally taken the trash that hatched but could not kill me directly. Therefore, I allowed myself to cause trouble. I have been fooling around. I didn’t expect that I would have such a purpose.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Indeed, living beings could not understand each other.

Alright, Ao Bing’s mindset saved him a lot of effort to explain.

“You are now a candidate for the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts. I will give you a fifth-stage Deity Position and can help the dragon race in disguise.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Now, the dragon race has encountered an obstacle because of you. The dragon race is controlled by the Heavenly Dao.”

Ao Bing frowned and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, I still don’t understand why Father insisted on using the Heavenly Courts to suppress the dragon race.”

Li Changshou said, “Only the Heavenly Courts and the Saint’s sect can suppress the dragon race.”

“Is that so… Ah! I know the thoughts of some elders in the clan. I feel that it’s a little dangerous. They had always felt that the dragon race should rule the Primordial World. As long as they release their foundation, they can make the Primordial World become a land of dragons again. They would dominate the four seas and land with the human race. However, wouldn’t that become a replica of the Magi and demons? The human race is everywhere now. Although they seem to be in a state of disunity, as long as there is enough pressure, they would definitely unite. Wouldn’t the dragon race lose their lives then? Moreover, the people in the Heavenly Courts are all humans. They are most likely on the side of the human race… I feel that these elders do not know how to be satisfied and content. They are clearly living a good life. It’s quite dangerous anyway.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “There is no end to the selfish desires of living beings.

You can think about these things. You are not just a drunkard.”

“Hehe.” Ao Bing rubbed his nose in embarrassment. “You flatter me. They all say that I’m ignorant and incompetent. Actually, who can’t understand that?However, my bloodline is thin. There’s nothing I can do about that. No matter how hard I work in the clan, I don’t have the right to say anything. I might as well enjoy myself in time. Look, I haven’t lost anything. I’ve experienced everything. I’ve enjoyed all the blessings. In the end, I can still be a legitimate god.”

Li Changshou felt helpless.

This fellow really felt good about himself. If he was given the chance, he would brag endlessly.

At that moment, Li Changshou began to talk about the Immortal God’s mission and the things that Ao Bing needed to pay attention to.

Ao Bing would be representing the dragon race in the Heavenly Courts in the future. He had to change all his bad habits.

Li Changshou said that this was the true mission that the dragon race had given Ao Bing. It was also an important reason why the Dragon King had chosen Ao Bing.

Ao Bing was deeply touched. His body emitted intense glory.

He finally had a use for it!

Li Changshou was trying his best to persuade Ao Bing when he suddenly sensed something. Bai Jian, who was planning the corridor of the hall, was stunned. He turned around and looked at Li Changshou.

The main tribulation of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation and the guards at the God-Conferment Platform looked at each other. Their expressions were solemn as they stood up.

A new god had arrived.

Wisps of smoke floated up from the edge of the God-Conferment Platform. A stream of light flew over from the void and turned into the image of a female immortal. Her figure was quickly filled with the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Her face was filled with anger, horror, and lingering fear. Her eyes were unfocused for a long time. She stood at the edge of the universe in the God-Conferment Platform and did not move.

It was the Goddess of Stone.

She arrived rather quickly.

Li Changshou sensed it in his heart and naturally knew that she had died under the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier.

“Bai Jian,” Li Changshou called out. Bai Jian abandoned what he was doing and quickly walked in front of the female immortal. He bowed to her.

Bai Jian said loudly,

“I’m no longer a passerby after entering this divine room! The righteousness of the world has been condensed, and one has to enjoy the deep origin of prosperity! Fellow Daoist, please. I am Bai Jian, the guardian of the God-Conferment Platform. Today, I am here on the orders of the God Conferment Master, Taibai Jinxing. I have specially come to welcome you into the God-Conferment Platform. When the Great Tribulation retreated and the Great God-Conferment Completion was completed, there would be a God-Conferment Ceremony. I hereby congratulate you in advance. You will be ranked in the Immortal class and become a Deity Position.”

The Goddess of Stone finally returned to its senses and looked at Bai Jian in a daze. She then looked at the hall in the distance, as well as Li Changshou and Ao Bing.

She took half a step forward and hugged her head weakly with both hands. She squatted down in pain.

“Taiyi, good Taiyi! You’re actually so ruthless!”

A wisp of Heavenly Dao power floated past. The Goddess of Stone immediately stopped moving. Her trembling body quickly calmed down.

She slowly stood up and pondered for a while. She bowed to Bai Jian.

“Thank you for leading the way, Fellow Daoist. Please take care of me in the future.”

They were completely different.

Li Changshou, who was in the distance, could not help but fall silent.

Although one could live again after entering the Divine Seal Altar, they would lose more than just freedom.

However, no matter what, compared to the living beings who had turned into ashes and could not enter the God roll, it was not easy to enter the God roll.

Bai Jian led Shi Ji forward. When the Goddess of Stone saw Li Changshou, she bowed from afar and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

Li Changshou smiled warmly and said warmly, “Fellow Daoist, how did you get here?”

The Goddess of Stone sighed softly. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, but it was quite different from her angry expression just now.

She said, “It’s really a sudden calamity. I don’t know why. One of my disciples was killed by an arrow that flew over. I held the arrow and chased in the direction of the arrow. On the way, I found a baby who was looking for an arrow. I asked him if he shot that arrow. He was immediately overjoyed. He said that the arrow was shot when he was practicing archery. He was about to find it and offer it up. I pointed at my disciple’s corpse and asked him to give an explanation. He stammered and could not say anything. At that moment, his master appeared. I wondered who it was. This child is actually the third son of Li Jing, who killed the Dragon King’s Crown Prince half a year ago…”

Shi Ji paused and looked at Li Changshou. “Fellow Daoist’s godson.”

Li Changshou said, “Continue. Don’t worry about these details.”

“Yes.” Shi Ji, the Goddess of Stone seemed to be quite obedient. She sighed softly and said in a low voice, “His master, Taiyi, is famous for being good with his words. He is unreasonable the moment he speaks. His words are strange and make people angry. He said a few words. I couldn’t help it and…”

“Did you attack?” Li Changshou asked softly.

“Ah.” Shi Ji raised her hand and held her forehead. “I don’t know what went wrong with me. I forgot that Taiyi is one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School. He entered the sect quite early. I used my Dharma treasure to take his face, but he easily received it. He activated the Divine Flame Shield, but I could not avoid it. I really did not learn well and tarnished the reputation of Jie School. In a few moments, his Dharma treasure burned my Dao Body. A wisp of my soul was protected by the Heavenly Dao and arrived here.”

Li Changshou said, “Since you’re here, take it easy. Don’t think too much. Since you’re destined to face such a calamity, it’s also because the calamity is behind you.

Since you have come here, you should restrain your emotions and think about how he should face the future. After all, this is not the worst outcome of the Great Tribulation.”

The Goddess of Stone smiled bitterly and sensed that his body was almost the same as before. However, he still felt a little unreal.

“Thank you for your guidance, Lord Taibai Jinxing. I’ll go to the side to meditate and adjust my Dao heart.”

Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute. Shi Ji turned around and left. He went to the hall and found a corner to sit cross-legged. He sensed and pondered.

“Ao Bing, I’ll give you a mission.”

Ao Bing hurriedly said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing, please instruct me.”

“Listen to Bai Jian’s instructions and help him.” Li Changshou looked at Bai Jian. “We should think about how to appease the soul that has just entered the God-Conferment Platform. They were people who had suffered a calamity in the Great Tribulation. They were already quite tragic. When they arrived, they could not help but feel sad. That’s not a good thing for joining the Heavenly Courts.”

“Lord Taibai Jinxing, you mean…”

“I have to make full use of the banner, which is a pretty good publicity method.” Li Changshou’s sleeve fluttered, and a red banner condensed beside him. There were lines of words written on it.

“If you can enter the Divine Seal Altar, you will not be defeated. Although you are far away, you will live forever.”

“From another perspective, the Primordial World will naturally be different because of you. The righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts need you to join them.”

“Welcome to the Heavenly Courts’ family.”

“As long as you join the Heavenly Courts, you will be our brother.”

Of course, there was still the latter half of the sentence. Since the title of “brother” was given and retracted to the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Courts could also say at any time, “We don’t have a brother like you.”

“Hang all these up.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “We can create more similar forms so that everyone can have a sense of belonging.”

“Okay!”

Bai Jian lowered his head and agreed. He called out to Ao Bing and immediately began to get busy.

Li Changshou chuckled.

The Goddess of Stone was already dead. The conflict between the Chan School and Jie School was completely unavoidable. The Dao Ancestor’s expectations had naturally been met. He could continue to interfere in the God Conferment.

Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly felt uneasy.

At this moment!

Golden light shone everywhere on the God-Conferment Platform. Lotus flowers floated over from the edge. A gap opened on the Divine Seal Altar, and streams of light flew over one after another. For a moment, they were connected.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten streams of light landed and turned into more than ten figures.

This was?

Li Changshou was shocked. His mind immediately returned to his surroundings to investigate what had happened.

Something was amiss.

The Goddess of Stone was burned to death by Perfected Taiyi. It should not have implicated the immortals of the other two sects. Why did more than ten immortals suddenly enter the God roll?

Moreover, those entering the God roll were ultimately a small number of “Saviors”. If more than ten immortals entered the roll, there was a high chance that there would be more than a hundred casualties!

Not long after, Li Changshou’s expression turned gloomy.

In the straw hut of the Little Qiong Peak, his main body opened his eyes and frowned.

Why did the Dao Ancestor change the script himself?

The first interception battle actually erupted so rashly.

That was really beyond Li Changshou’s expectations. Previously, he had been looking at the Goddess of Stone and felt that the weight of Shi Ji could not trigger a huge battle.

However, he did not expect the two sects to clash!

Fortunately, the situation was under control. The Head Disciples of both sides had arrived.

What?

Is the Dao Ancestor afraid that I would cause trouble?

Or do I have to improve my performance?

If the Dao Ancestor also threw away the script and allowed everything to evolve in the general direction, he would lose the advantage of being a prophet of the script. The situation would become even more unpredictable.

Li Changshou raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He had already begun to deduce carefully and integrate the news brought by the paper effigies.

On the God-Conferment Platform, the ten=odd immortals were divided into two groups. The three immortals of Chan School were in a disadvantageous position. They seemed to want to continue the previous battle.
