Chapter 326 Changgeng Reaches Three Promotions at the Immortal Peach Banquet, Accepting the Dragons Of The Four Seas!

Outside the Immortal Peach Banquet, melancholy was written all over the ox’s face.

He lay beside the stone that was wrapped by the immortal rope and swayed his tail in boredom.

He was really tied up.

Changshou, oh no, the Great Daoist Master had instructed me to call him Senior Brother Changgeng

Senior Brother Changgeng is too focused on stability. He’s so insistent on carrying out the Grand Supreme Elder’s orders entirely!

It’s not like I haven’t developed intelligence yet. To put it bluntly, there are less than ten people present who can defeat me in a fight!

Forget it. I have to act like a mount. I have to rest wherever I am shackled.

Moo…

The ox opened its mouth, and a vortex appeared in its throat. An immortal peach flew out from it, and it bit into it before chewing comfortably.

At the Immortal Peach Banquet, Li Changshou, who had finished tying up the cow, quickly returned. As soon as he stepped outside the venue of the immortal banquet, he could clearly sense that the atmosphere there was already… very serious.

The dragons, who were originally quite relaxed, sat upright and tensed up.

The Dragon Kings of the four seas had also changed their previous subservient expressions. They each revealed a gentle smile and looked like elders.

The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were no different from before. The former sat in the middle of the throne while the latter accompanied him with a dignified bearing.

Master Zhao stopped being in his relaxed sitting posture. From then on, his bold and unrestrained attitude of believing that he could scam everyone, had become serious.

There was no need to mention the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts. All of them were fully focused, just like Elder Moon, whose eyes were already squinted.

The six old Daoists from the Western Sect sat upright and still. Each of them had a smile on their faces, as if they had turned the situation around.

Why was that so?

It was because the Grand Supreme Elder was there!

Li Changshou had only taken four to five steps when he analyzed why the Grand Supreme Elder had come.

Firstly, he had to eliminate the possibility that the Grand Supreme Elder was there to watch the fun. It was a superficial and unskilled choice!

Combined with the glance that the Grand Supreme Elder had shot Li Changshou just now, the way he had allowed Li Changshou to support him, and the fact that Li Changshou had been asked to chain the oxen… There were various signs. The Grand Supreme Elder is here to support me!

At the same time, he wants to prevent the Saints of the Western Sect from attacking. He wants to express his stance to the dragon race and ensure that the dragon race would return to the Heavenly Courts today!

After confirming that, Li Changshou immediately thought about what he should do next. Only then could he submit an answer script that was closest to full marks.

Um..

At that moment, the Grand Supreme Elder was sitting at the banquet. The original situation had changed drastically. He had an unlimited advantage. Don’t: “Attack altogether.”

Don’t: “Bind all the soldiers together.”

Do: “Operate appropriately.”

Do: “Stay still in the same place!”

In such a situation, all the more he had to stick to the guidance of the ‘Steadiness Sutra’ and fully bring out the value of ‘Theory of Tricks’. He had to stick to the principle that the interests of Ren School were first and that the Heavenly Courts were second! Therefore, Li Changshou walked to his seat and slowed down. He bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, the six self-proclaimed disciples of the Western Saints have yet to prove themselves. To be safe, I’ll continue.”

The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and said, “With the Grand Supreme Elder here, there’s no need to worry even if some evil spirits who impersonate the disciples of the Saint have arrived.”

“Your Majesty, if these six are really disciples of the Saint, they are probably anxious to prove themselves.”

Li Changshou turned around and looked at the six old Daoists in rags with a warm gaze.

Perhaps Li Changshou had secretly calculated the angle, or perhaps it was purely a coincidence. When the six old Daoists from the West looked at Li Changshou, they happened to see the Grand Supreme Elder sitting in the corner of the platform.

The Sea God in front had white hair, white clothes, and a benevolent expression.

The old Daoist priest behind him remained silent and looked down.

An inexplicable pressure arose, causing the six old Daoists’ Dao hearts to become unstable.

The old Daoist priest who had spoken the most previously could not help but squeeze an ugly smile. He said calmly, “How can my senior brothers and junior brothers not dare to prove themselves? I’ll swear a Great Dao oath…”

“Hold on!”

Li Changshou interrupted and looked at Zhao Gongming. His gaze seemed to be saying, “If you don’t take it now, when should you?”

Master Zhao hesitated. He frowned and pondered. His eyes seemed to be saying, “Do I really have to take that thing out in front of the Grand Supreme Elder?”

Li Changshou’s gaze immediately became firm.

Zhao Gongming did not hesitate. He took out… a tattered painting from his sleeve and pushed it towards Li Changshou with his immortal power.

If you want to cause trouble, I’ll do it.

Li Changshou consulted the Jade Emperor. After obtaining the Jade Emperor’s permission, he walked towards the six old Daoists with the painting and placed it in front of them.

Once the painting was taken out, the six old Daoists of the Western Sect looked at each other.

They first saw anger on each other’s faces. Then, they were “shocked” and confirmed that the other party…

They had been scammed by Zhao Gongming! That scroll was evidence! There were too many pieces of evidence!

However, the six old Daoists felt as if they had lived together for many years and realized that they were childhood brothers who had been separated for many years…

It was very subtle.

“Everyone, please.”

Li Changshou bowed slightly and stood quietly with his horsetail whisk.

An old Daoist priest’s left hand trembled slightly as he opened the scroll on the short table.

He looked at the familiar words, the familiar format, and the many “fresh” words on it. He could not help but think of those unbearable memories…

At that moment, the old Daoist priest suddenly understood something.

He understood why there were so many experts and fellow disciples from the same sect and why their expressions were gloomy and angry during that period of time.

Why did a few of his fellow disciples directly announce that they would enter seclusion for 200 to 500 years and temporarily not ask about the matters in the sect?

The reasons were all there!

Li Changshou patiently guided from the side and said warmly, “Fellow Daoist, read this segment and give a conclusion. It’s just to prove your identity. You can skip the middle

part.”

Many gazes and immortal senses could not help but look over. They were all curious about what “treasure” Zhao Gongming had taken out.

A moment later, the old Daoist priest of the Western Sect spoke in a low voice. It caused the Heavenly Dao power in the Heavenly Courts to surge. He began to recite an incantation using the ‘Sensing Oath’…

A Dao oath that was thousands of words long!

The six old Daoists took two hours to swear.

The power of the Heavenly Dao came and went, verifying their identities.

The Great Dao oath template was repeated six times. It also made the immortals, dragons, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Princess Long Ji, who had rushed over, hear it six times.

They did not have much to say. They just felt that they had broadened their horizons and opened the door to a new world.

A somewhat uncultured general said, “Can the Great Dao oath be so particular?”

Those cultured officials would naturally be more knowledgeable. “You can do that?”

When the sixth old Daoist priest finished reading the oath, Li Changshou retracted the scroll and muttered, “Actually, it’s enough for one of the six of you to prove your identity. After all, why would a disciple of a Saint collude with an impostor? Seeing how eager you are, I won’t say much.”

The disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, who had vomited blood just now, had a flushed face. However, he swallowed a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, dozens of important ministers of the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Generals around the Immortal Peach Banquet, the Four Sea Dragon Kings, and the dragon race were all speechless…

Most of the immortals and gods looked at Li Changshou with respect. They had labeled him as someone they could not offend. At this point, who could not tell?

The six old Daoists from the Western Sect were no match for the Sea God.

Ever since the Sea God had returned and suddenly turned hostile, the Sea God had easily controlled the rhythm of the entire journey. He had suppressed the six old Daoists until they could not turn the tables. With just a few words, he had completely embarrassed the six old Daoists.

Even the arrival of the Grand Supreme Elder did not affect the Sea God’s performance!

The people from the Western Sect were not incompetent. They were capable of becoming the disciples of the Saint and forcing the dragon race into such a sorry state.

However, they had nowhere to voice their thoughts out loud…

Ahem, they were full of schemes, but they could not find a chance to attack.

Just as they were preparing for the first step, the Sea God opposite them had already reached the fifth step. He had even dug four pits in front of them. How could they fight?

Indeed, Li Changshou did not seem to gain anything from the battle. He only embarrassed the six old Daoists who did not dare to say anything else.

However, from another perspective, if the Grand Supreme Elder did not come today, Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor would have to deal with the Western Sect.

After being taught a lesson by Li Changshou, the six old Daoists of the Western Sect lost their vigor and spirit. Later, no matter what they said, the effect would be greatly reduced. It was impossible for it to affect the judgment of the dragon race!

Every step of the Sea God’s plan today was to pave the way for his future plans!

Even Princess Long Ji, who had changed into a pink immortal dress and had two immortal belts on her wrist, looked at the Sea God whom she had followed for twelve years and understood what had happened. She could not help but mutter softly to herself.

I’m afraid.

Li Changshou turned around and reported to the Jade Emperor. He said that he had found out their identities and that they were indeed the six experts of the Western Sect.

The Jade Emperor praised him and raised his wine cup to toast the six old Daoists. Then, he brushed the matter off.

Finally, after Li Changshou arrived at the Immortal Peach Banquet, he returned to his seat. There were General Dongmu and Zhao Gongming on both sides, but he did not dare to relax.

What the Western Sect really wanted to do was still to come.

The show was just about to start.

As soon as Li Changshou sat down, Zhao Gongming reached out from under the short table and grabbed Li Changshou’s arm. In front of the Grand Supreme Elder, it was hard to guarantee that ordinary voice transmissions would not be heard by the Grand Supreme Elder. It was the safest to make direct contact with voice transmissions.

“Changshou, when will you be officially accepted?”

Li Changshou shook his head and smiled. He sent a voice transmission. “I’m a disciple of Ren School.”

Zhao Gongming was deep in thought. Li Changshou had already sent a voice transmission to General Dongmu.

“General Dongmu, it’s time to stand up and toast His Majesty, the Goddess, and the Grand Supreme Elder.”

General Dongmu snapped out of his daze and immediately stood up to liven up the atmosphere.

After a while, the music started again. The thirty-six Chang’e fairies danced in unison. Apart from the famous “Heng’e” who had yet to appear, this was already the highest standard of singing and dancing in the Heavenly Courts.

Chang’e was a female immortal who cultivated on the moon and specialized in dancing.

Heng’e was the one who ascended during the day in the ancient myths. The myths were a little biased, but the actual story was more complicated. She was conferred the title of the Moon Lord and managed all the Chang’e fairies. She lived in the Vast Glacial Palace and rarely appeared.

Even if the Grand Supreme Elder did not like to watch such performances, he had to follow the rules of the Heavenly Courts.

Not long after, the immortals and gods began to toast each other again. There were still four hours before the immortal peaches would ripen. The atmosphere gradually became lively.

It seemed that nothing had happened.

An hour before the Immortal Peach Banquet officially began, the Dragon King of the East Ocean looked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou nodded slowly, put down the wine bottle, and sat up. In an instant, everyone looked over.

The beautiful Chang’e fairies with graceful figures also subconsciously stopped.

However, the music did not stop. It became more melodious.

Li Changshou bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, “I have a memorial that I want to present to Your Majesty!”

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “It’s the Immortal Peach Banquet today, submit it tomorrow, my beloved subordinate.”

“Your Majesty,” Li Changshou said seriously, “Today is the Immortal Peach Banquet. I want to present this memorial to congratulate the Heavenly Courts and Your Majesty!”

The Jade Emperor asked again, “What do you like?”

Zhao Gongming, who was at the side, could not help but stroke his beard and chuckle. He felt that it was really interesting that the two of them were singing the same tune.

Li Changshou walked out of the short table and bowed to the Jade Emperor. Then, he bowed to the dragons of the four seas. Then, he stood up and his beard and hair fluttered slightly.

“I have gained Your Majesty’s trust and taken on the responsibility of being the Sea God of the four seas. However, the four seas are already under the control of the dragon race of the four seas. The dragon race, the Sea Clan, the living beings in the sea, and even the demons all obey the four Dragon Kings. After I took over the position, the Dragon Kings of the four seas helped me manage the four seas. Only then did the four seas become safe. However, I’m ashamed.”

Li Changshou sighed and bowed deeply to the Jade Emperor.

“Today, I will be bold enough to ask for your permission to transform my Deity Position into the Deity Position of the Sea God of the four seas. I will be conferred the title of Sea God of the four seas by the Heavenly Courts!

I’m willing to retreat!” Many disciples of the dragon race and the Heavenly Courts were shocked. The Jade Emperor frowned and said, “Why did you say that, Changgeng? Who in the Heavenly Courts does not know about Changgeng’s achievements? Who does not know? How can there be a reason for abdication!?!”

General Dongmu stood up and quickly walked to Li Changshou’s side. He bowed deeply with a Dao salute.

“Your Majesty! I beg of you! The Sea God controls the four seas and works hard! He has contributed greatly to His Majesty’s plan! He has also cleared the waterways of the South Continent. It was all thanks to him! Your Majesty, why don’t you appoint the Sea God as a new Deity Position? Then, you can follow the Sea God’s request and split the Sea God’s authority into four!”

The Jade Emperor could not help but be overjoyed. “I understand your request, General Dongmu! Subject! I am now conferring Changgeng, the Water God of the Heavenly Courts. He is ranked third. He is in charge of the water affairs of the Three Realms!”

As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, a golden beam of light shot out from the Lingxiao Hall and quickly entered Li Changshou’s body. Li Changshou flipped his left hand, and a shining golden steel fork appeared in his hand. He held it with both hands, and the steel fork turned into streams of light that returned to the Heavenly realm.

General Dongmu smiled and said, “Your Majesty, the decree can be officially formed in twenty years. However, I wonder what the four Dragon Kings mean by the Sea God position of the four seas…”

“I have a word!” The Dragon King of the East Ocean stood up and slowly walked to Li Changshou’s side. He also bowed to the Jade Emperor. The old Dragon King was actually excited.

“I have a request, Jade Emperor!”

“The dragon race has been burdened with ancient negative karma and has been in charge of the four seas for a long time.

In the ancient times, the Demon Court was powerful and forced the dragon race to become a guest of the Demon Court. The entire dragon race is full of hatred!

However, ever since the Sea God established his position in the South Ocean, he received His Majesty’s decree and took care of our race.

The Heavenly Courts have formed an alliance to fight the rebels.

My race is struggling hard. The Heavenly Courts are helping.

The Sea God has been working hard for the prosperity of our race. He has asked for anything in return. How can our race be grateful enough to him!?!

Today, I, Ao Guang, the patriarch of the dragon race, am willing to lead the Four Seas’ dragon race to submit to the Heavenly Courts! I will use the Heavenly Courts’ rules to restrict myself!

I want to show the might of the Heavenly Courts and follow the orders of the Emperor!”

The three Dragon Kings of the West Ocean, North Ocean, and South Ocean had already walked behind Ao Guang. They bowed and shouted, “The dragon race is willing to submit to the Heavenly Courts. We will use the Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly rules to restrict ourselves and show the Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Might. We will follow the orders of the Emperor!”

“Alright!”

The Jade Emperor stood up. Golden light shone from his body, and the Heavenly Emperor’s dignity was unprecedentedly strong. “With the help of the dragon race today, why should the Heavenly Courts worry about not being able to prosper? Now that we have the Dragon Kings’ words, why should we worry about the might of the Heavenly Courts!?!”

In the Dragon Palace’s seating area, Ao Yi was the first to stand up. Most of the dragons stood up and walked behind the Four Sea Dragon Kings to bow to the Jade Emperor. However, the six elders of the Western Sect were calm and composed.

At that moment, a long sigh was suddenly heard. An elder from the West Ocean Dragon Palace stood up and frowned.

“Your Majesties, do we not have to discuss this matter with the Grand Elders guarding the Sea Eye? Is it inappropriate to make such a decision so easily? The Heavenly Courts are just so-so.” All of a sudden, the dragons frowned. Many immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts stood up and glared at the elder. Ao Yi’s eyes widened, and he wished he could go up and tear the West Ocean apart. The smile on the Jade Emperor’s face gradually disappeared. The light in his eyes was threatening “Your Majesty.” Li Changshou calmly stood up again. “Can you let me handle this matter?”

The Jade Emperor nodded and sat back on the throne. He said, “Changgeng, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty.”

Then, Li Changshou turned around. The Dragon Kings of the four seas and the dragon race experts in front of him turned to the side, allowing Li Changshou to face the dragon-headed elder.

Many immortals of the Heavenly Courts could not help but have such thoughts.

I’m afraid there will be another good show.

Zhao Gongming smiled and squinted. The six old Daoists of the Western Sect began to exchange glances frantically. Ao Yi and Long Ji’s eyes lit up. Long Ji maintained her excellent habit. She took out her jade token and prepared to memorize the words of the Sea God.

Li Changshou took two steps forward with his horsetail whisk and looked at the dragon-headed elder.

“Fellow Daoist, are you from the West Ocean Dragon Palace?”

The dragon-headed elder was calm and composed. He even put his hands behind his back and smiled. “That’s right. May I know what guidance the Sea God has?”

Li Changshou smiled, but then his smile disappeared. His expression was cold, and his eyes flickered. He suddenly shouted, “Where are the Heavenly Generals!?! Take this dragon down and push it to the Heavenly Punishment Hall to behead it and destroy its soul!”

The venue of the Immortal Peach Banquet was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. After a few breaths, hundreds of Heavenly Generals agreed!
