Chapter 415 The Western Sect’s Scheme

A white cloud flew out of the golden array formation and slowly rose into the starry sky. On the cloud, Li Changshou lowered his head and looked at his disciple-nephew, who was sitting cross-legged beside him. He looked at the pitiful expression on his face. He was trying his best to endure, but his eyes were still red. He also looked at his trembling shoulders and the swaying Dao Headband…

Li Changshou suddenly felt guilty as if he had done something wrong. It was a mysterious spiritual pearl. “Disciple-Nephew,” Li Changshou called warmly. Ling Zhuzi looked up weakly. There was a hint of helplessness in its eyes. “Aunt-Master Changgeng, I’m fine.” Li Changshou’s Dao heart almost melted on the spot. He hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. I’ll bring you to the Heavenly Courts. The living beings there are very interesting and gentle. Why don’t we make a bet?”

Ling Zhuzi said in a clear voice, “Uncle-Master, how should we make a bet? Master said that gambling is a bad habit. You have to have a firm Dao heart and be confident in handling things.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. In turn, he was taught a lesson by Ling Zhuzi! “Let’s put it another way.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When we go to the Heavenly Courts later, everyone will smile kindly when they see you. If that’s really the case, why don’t you agree to befriend a good friend in the Heavenly Courts?”

“Yes.” Ling Zhuzi nodded and agreed. “I will follow your arrangements, Uncle-Master.” Li Changshou smiled warmly and did not say anything else. He rode a cloud towards the Central Heaven Gate. On the way there, Li Changshou even flew half a round at the edge of the area controlled by the demons. When he returned, he was afraid that he would really be ambushed by the experts of the demon race, so he deliberately went to the Western Heavenly Gate above the Aparagodānīya Continent.

The spiritual mountain did not dare to be brazen and make things difficult for him, a disciple of Ren School. It would not let anything happen to him near the spiritual mountain. Along the way, Li Changshou did not say much. He secretly observed Ling Zhuzi’s reaction and wanted to understand his entire personality as soon as possible. At that moment, Ling Zhuzi’s emotions were mostly filled with nervousness. After all, it had never left the Qianyuan Mountain after transforming. This was also his first time traveling “Uncle-Master Changgeng…”

“Huh?” Li Changshou lowered his head. Ling Zhuzi was looking up at him. There was a hint of helplessness in its eyes that were filled with spiritual energy. “Am I behaving abnormally? Master seems to be very troubled. He keeps saying that he wants me to become a man. Moreover, when Uncle-Master Yu Ding looks at me, she often looks at me with pity.”

“Hahahaha.” Li Changshou was amused by Ling Zhuzi. Ling Zhuzi frowned and looked at Li Changshou in confusion. “Uncle-Master Changgeng, what’s wrong?” “Nothing, nothing.” Li Changshou waved his hand and sat cross-legged on the cloud. The benevolent appearance of his white hair and white eyebrows made Ling Zhuzi feel closer to him. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your master has always said that you should be manly because he thinks that you’re too soft-hearted. Junior Brother Yu Ding does not pity you. He also thinks that you are too weak. Normally, men are the representation of masculinity, while women are the symbol of femininity. However, that is not absolute. Most people are like that. Senior Brother Taiyi is rather crude in this aspect. He did not tell you all that in time and only wanted you to be a man.Yin and Yang in the world are not absolute opposites.

They are not absolute.” Ling Zhuzi pursed his lips and pondered. Li Changshou added, “If you want your master to be happy, just change some of your habits.” Ling Zhuzi hurriedly said, “Uncle-Master, please enlighten me!” “It’s not convenient for me to talk to you today.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When we reach the Heavenly Courts later, I’ll introduce you to a few good friends. You can spend some time with them first. Find out what your master wants you to become.” Ling Zhuzi hesitated to speak. Li Changshou did not continue. He took out a sutra book and handed it to Ling Zhuzi to relieve his boredom on the way. Ling Zhuzi was an ancient spiritual pearl from the Jade Void Palace. Its cultivation level was at the Perfected Immortal realm, and it was already at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. It was still a distance away from the Golden Immortal realm.

However, the spiritual pearl had a deep foundation. Its greatest reliance was its pure and blessed essence soul. If it could become a Golden Immortal and train for hundreds of thousands of years, and become a Pure Fortune Golden Immortal like Yun Zhongzi, it could increase the luck of Chan School. Li Changshou’s imagination ran wild… In the original story of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Jie School was famous for the tyrannical strength of the second generation disciples. On Chan School’s side, they were famous for fighting against the second generation disciples of Jie School. For example, the Perfected Lord Yang Jian, who had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and had the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Position before entering the tribulation. In his previous life, after Ling Zhuzi entered the calamity, he used the essence soul of the spiritual pearl to combine it with the lotus flower body. He was the Great God of the three altars, Nezha.

After obtaining the treasures of Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi, Shen Gongbao said, “Fellow Daoist, please wait.” Yin Jiao, Yin Hong, who jumped left and right and almost killed his master…

They were all rising talents of the Dao Sect. Indeed, there were many rising talents in Jie School. However, the Goddess of Fire Spirit, Wen Zhong, and Yu Yuan were not as famous as Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi. Did the Saint choose to stand on the side of Chan School during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

Li Changshou pondered carefully and felt helpless.

Why was it that he had already tacitly agreed that during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Chan and Jie would definitely go crazy… The Ten Absolute Arrays, the Nine-Turn Yellow River Array, and the Ten Thousand Immortal Arrays were the signature arrays of the upgraded battles… Li Changshou suddenly thought of something. Over the years, he had been paying attention to the development of the relationship between men and women of Jie School. He did not know how the Ten Absolute Arrays that the Goddess of Golden Light, and the Heavenly Lord Qin Wan had been studying were doing. Would this become a small prediction for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation? Li Changshou pondered for a while and laughed. The butterfly had already fluttered so many times. At this moment, everything was still progressing towards the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. The power of the Heavenly Dao’s correction, or rather, the power of the world line, could not be underestimated. The frivolous senior who wanted to change the history of myths, had already become a little patch on the wheel of history. His priority was to survive. After all, he was dead, but there was nothing left… Ling Zhuzi suddenly asked softly, “Uncle-Master Changgeng, are there many living beings like me in this world?” Li Changshou thought for a while and said warmly, “Every living being is a unique individual. There’s no need to think about changing yourself to fit in. You have to think about making yourself more perfect and improving yourself. Living beings do not have to be too sharp or well-rounded. After all, being tactful is our business.” Ling Zhuzi blinked. “Ling Zhuzi doesn’t understand.” “In the future, use ‘I’ or ‘me’ when referring to yourself, don’t call yourself by your own name. That’s equivalent to exposing yourself,” Li Changshou said seriously. “This is the first little habit you have to change.” “Yes, Ling Zhuzi understands.” “Huh?”

“I understand…” “That’s more like it.” Li Changshou squinted and smiled. He looked at the Western Heavenly Gate in front of him and said, “Do you still remember the agreement? You can see if they’re all smiling at you.” Immediately, Ling Zhuzi perked up. He, who was originally afraid of strangers, took the initiative to observe the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were speechless. Logically speaking, the Water God had brought back a delicate-looking little fairy. The little fairy even sized him up with a clear and curious gaze. What expression could he have in response? He was just smiling in all ways! Halfway through, Ling Zhuzi could not help but tug at Li Changshou’s Daoist robe. Its eyes were filled with stars. “Aunt-Master, Uncle-Master, it’s really true! Everyone is smiling at me!” Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He held his horsetail whisk and brought Ling Zhuzi to his Water God Residence.

After competing with Bai Ze for so long, he was quite happy to suddenly trick the child… After returning to the Water God Residence, Li Changshou ordered the Heavenly Soldiers to tidy up a house and let the spiritual pearl stay there.

“Ling Zhuzi, stay here. You can tell the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals what you lack. I’m a civil servant in the Heavenly Courts. Everyone will give me some respect and I can go out for a stroll. In a few days, I will arrange for a few Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to spar with you in terms of Dharma spells and mystical abilities. You have to make some preparations first. You have to be careful when you attack later. Don’t hurt anyone.” “Okay!”

Ling Zhuzi’s essence, energy, and spirit were all rising. He was like a completely different person from when he was on the Qianyuan Mountain.

She, ahem.

He bowed to Li Changshou and said, “I understand. Uncle-Master, please whip me as much as you want on this cultivation journey!” Li Changshou almost blushed… What did Perfected Taiyi teach Ling Zhuzi!? Uh, perhaps my thoughts are too complicated… Now, everything is fine. Li Jing was in the Immortal Du Sect while Nezha was in the Water God Residence. If he could find Lady Yin now, he would be able to gather the main actors for the scene of the Chen Tang Custom. Nezha was the protagonist of this scene. The current Ao Bing was not even in a dragon egg. Mu Zha and Jin Zha did not have any scenes in this segment. Should I get to the bottom of this in advance? In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou looked at the map of the five continents in front of him and fell into a daze. He was multitasking while thinking about how to guide the show. On one side, among the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals guarding the Water God Residence, he looked for a few Heavenly Generals who had stronger masculine auras and had a heroic aura. He asked them to communicate more with Ling Zhuzi later.

Li Changshou gradually realized that in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the most important thing was to consider the trend of the Heavenly Dao. Take Nezha as an example. In the script of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation that was set by the Heavenly Dao, how much of the tribulation and the consequences that Nezha had experienced would affect the Great God-Conferment Tribulation and the Heavenly Dao?

If he analyzed it clearly, he would be able to do it…

In general, they had to ensure that Nezha’s combat power was enough to ensure that he became one of the regular members of the Chan School faction.

There was also the conflict between the Taiyi and the Goddess of Stone. It might also become a spark that ignited the war between the two sects…

Based on the few times he had interacted with Perfected Taiyi, Li Changshou no longer doubted the level of Perfected Taiyi’s method of “striking first and gaining the upper hand” and the level of his “mouth cannon” and “mockery” skills. Unfortunately, he could not deliberately target Perfected Taiyi.

Li Changshou knew that he could not stand on the side of Chan School or Jie School. He was a disciple of Ren School, and he had to stand on the side that Teacher Taiqing wanted him to be in.

Dao Sect.

“The overall situation…” After thinking for a while, Li Changshou stood up and paced quietly in the Pill Chamber with a little worry.

Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang arrived at the Water God Residence in the Heavenly Courts.

At that moment, Ao Yi was smiling. Bian Zhuang, on the other hand, was dejected and his eyes were bloodshot. However, he forced himself to look energetic and happy. The two of them arrived in front of the study. Just as they were about to bow, Li Changshou’s fingers swayed gently. The door of the room opened and the array formation closed. “Come in.”

Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang agreed in unison. They lowered their heads and entered the study. They cupped their fists and bowed to Li Changshou, who was behind the desk and chair.

“Brother Sect Master, you have already found a suitable female demon.” Ao Yi smiled and said, “Do you want Bian Zhuang to attack now?”

Li Changshou asked, “Which woman are you looking for?” “It’s from Elder Moon,” said Ao Yi. “It’s a negative karma demon at the border between the South Continent and the Aparagodānīya Continent. He’s at the Heaven Immortal realm. I have already checked her background in the Ten Thousand Spirit Hall. She is also a descendant of a great demon from the ancient times. Now, she had some influence among the demons. The clay figurine of this demon often dragged the red string and ran around. It had no fixed residence and was flirtatious. If it were to have an interesting conversation with the Heavenly General, no one would suspect it. Everything else will depend on Deputy Commander Bian Zhuang’s abilities.”

Bian Zhuang’s legs trembled. He smiled bitterly and said, “I will die a horrible death, but Lord Water God… I’m still pure…”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m just asking you to show mercy in your dreams. I’m not asking you to sacrifice yourself. What are you afraid of?”

“Yes, General.”

Ao Yi pretended to be surprised. “Deputy Commander Bian, you’re actually so pure?” Bian Zhuang immediately put on a helpless expression. “Alright,” Li Changshou said. “Let the Hall of Marriage help you with this matter. It’s fine if it doesn’t work. Moreover, I’m not asking you to descend to the mortal world. I’m just asking you to meet the female demons in their dreams through the Divine Might Hall… You have to remember that we are going to use this matter to announce to the public that the Heavenly Courts are not puppets controlled by the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Generals also have true feelings and are also living beings of flesh and blood. We are not asking you to really get along with the female demons, especially a negative karma demon.” “I understand!”

Bian Zhuang replied in a clear voice. Then, he frowned.

Was he going to… Li Changshou suddenly frowned and said, “Wait a moment. I have something to do at the side.” Then, he closed his eyes and remained still. On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou walked out of the Pill Chamber and looked at the “aurora” floating above the Black Pool Peak. He immediately used the “main body” paper effigy to rush over on a cloud. When he arrived at the Black Pool Peak and entered the array formation, he saw Bai Ze transforming into his main body and lying beside the pool. The three colorful feathers on his forehead shone brightly, and wisps of seven-colored immortal light surrounded him. “Water God.” The immortal light around Bai Ze shone even brighter. He transformed into a human and bowed.

Li Changshou said, “Mr. Bai, why did you call me here?”

Bai Ze said seriously, “It’s not a big deal to the Water God. However, when I was comprehending the heavenly secrets, I suddenly sensed something. A catastrophe is in the north of the North Continent. The demons are probably going to attack the Magi of the North Continent and force the Heavenly Courts to send troops to reinforce them. From that, they will fight the Heavenly Courts head-on.” Li Changshou bowed and said seriously, “Thank you for your reminder, Sir.” Bai Ze smiled and said, “Does the Water God have such a deduction? In that case, I was overthinking.” “No, I didn’t make such a deduction,” Li Changshou said. “Moreover, to be honest, my cultivation level is low. My cultivation level is not as high as yours. Speaking of deductions, I have only just entered the sect. I can’t deduce too many things. If there is such a situation in the future, please inform me in time.” Bai Ze frowned and asked, “Then, how did the Water God interfere with the Heavenly Dao previously? How did he resist the Western Sect and make so many decisions?” Li Changshou sighed and said helplessly, “There’s nothing else. Just make more preparations and consider all kinds of situations carefully. You don’t have to worry about this matter. When the demons sent the denouncement, I had already secretly informed the Magi of the North Continent. They are already prepared to deal with it and will not be caught off guard by the demons.” Bai Ze bowed to Li Changshou with a Dao salute and praised, “The more I know about you, Water God, the more I admire you. Water God, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother are not in the Heavenly Courts now. The experts of the Dao Sect might not interfere in the battle between the Magi and demons. If you need help, please discuss with me in time!”

Li Changshou nodded and agreed. He bowed to Bai Ze and said, “Let’s go back and arrange the battle in the North Continent.” Then, he rode a cloud and left the Black Pool.

When his mind returned to the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou asked Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang to put down the small matter from before and prepare the Heavenly River Navy to replenish the immortal beans and other resources.

Bian Zhuang almost cried tears of joy. Then, Li Changshou pushed the power of his mind to the maximum. Windows appeared in his heart. The place where the Magi of the North Continent gathered and the demons at the border of the North Continent were all enveloped by his paper effigy immortal senses network.

Just as Li Changshou had said, the Magi had long hidden in the place of refuge. Previously, a portion of the Magi from the Magi race had gone to harass the demons because he had instructed them to.

Li Changshou naturally had to avoid the tragedy of the East Ocean’s eye. However, the land of the demons… It was very quiet. There were no signs of the experts and demon soldiers being mobilized. However, Bai Ze had given a warning. Moreover, attacking the Magi in the north was a good move for the demons. The probability of that happening was extremely high. Li Changshou waited quietly. However, after a few days, the demons did not react at all. Li Changshou was puzzled. He still left most of his attention to monitor the demons and focused on handling daily matters. His mental strength was not enough, but his efficiency was reduced. Li Changshou did everything steadily and would not cause any trouble.

However, Li Changshou did not expect that he would wait for half a year!

In the past half a year, Ling Zhuzi had met the Heavenly Generals of the Water God Residence a few times. However, each time, it was because the spiritual pearl was too shy. Apart from sparring, it only watched the Heavenly Generals play and did not integrate into them. This matter could not be rushed. He had to plan slowly. The Heavenly Courts had also made sufficient preparations for battle. Hundreds of thousands of elite Heavenly Soldiers and a million immortal beans could support the North Continent at any time. When Li Changshou began to suspect that there was something wrong with Bai Ze’s definition of disaster, a familiar aura appeared in the land of the demons.

Wen Jing! Li Changshou’s immortal senses were like a net. He immediately followed the aura and investigated. Soon, he saw three blurry figures entering a few layers of array formations set up by the demons underground. Wen Jing taking the initiative to reveal that wisp of aura was actually a secret signal that they had previously set. In order to protect his spies, he stated that Daoist Wen Jing could not contact him directly. The aura was enough to prove that Daoist Wen Jing’s position had not changed. Daoist Wen Jing was on the left of the three figures. A young girl with silver-white hair and a long sword was on the right. In the middle, there was a tall and thin figure wearing a cloak. Li Changshou pinched his fingers to deduce and confirmed that he had never seen that Daoist.

Is the Western Sect going to cause trouble again?

Uh, could it be that the Western Sect had come to look for Lu Ya to offer advice, provide help, and give Daoist Lu Ya and the demons a clear path-attack the Magi and force the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to descend to the mortal world to fight? If that was the case, then… Bai Ze’s mystical ability to seek luck and avoid calamity is too much!
