Chapter 551: This Little Heavenly Dao That Slips Around

The Western Sect… is a little weak.

One after another, the Burning Incense Divine Kingdoms were “subdued” under the fierce attacks of the Immortal Alliance.

In less than three years, the Immortal Alliance’s reputation soared. Ten percent of the Western Sect’s territory in the trichiliocosm was seized, and twenty percent of the Immortal Dao experts escaped.

If not for the fact that the Western Sect had used too many techniques to control the minds of living beings when they built the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom, most of the Immortal Dao experts that they controlled would be like puppets. Their morale might have collapsed.

What was worth mentioning was that Li Changshou chose most of the battlefields in the void of the Chiliocosm and Minor Chiliocosm to minimize the impact on living beings.

However, the situation was finally reversed after dozens of old Daoists were secretly deployed in the spiritual mountain and some hidden Primordial Beasts.

In the last two clashes, the Immortal Alliance had suffered heavy losses.

Li Changshou pondered for half a night and decided to make the Immortal Alliance stop attacking and switch to defense.

To be able to restrain a portion of the Western Sect’s strength in the trichiliocosm was actually a huge victory for the overall situation of the Primordial World.

Elder Wan Linyun had been abnormally active for the past three years. He was famous for being the Poison Immortal. Although he was only a Golden Immortal and had just entered the Golden Immortal realm, his poisonous pills were extremely sharp.

Actually, apart from the poisonous pills at the beginning, which were refined by Elder Wan, the poisonous pills after that were arranged by Li Changshou to support Elder Wan.

In terms of attainment in poisonous pills, Elder Wan could only be called a “Little Luyue”. After all, there was a huge difference between him and the leader of the Plague Division who was in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

However, there was a paper effigy hidden in Elder Wan’s sleeve. Under the guidance of Li Changshou’s tactical thoughts, the lethality was indeed impressive.

He was elusive and impossible to guard against. If he could launch a sneak attack, he would not attack forcefully. If he was discovered, he would immediately escape.

The Western Sect had sent a large number of experts to surround and intercept them. With Li Changshou secretly manipulating the situation, Elder Wan did not feel any danger at all. He only followed Li Changshou’s instructions and changed the direction of the escape technique a few times before completing the operation of luring the enemy deep into the encirclement.

However, what made Li Changshou worried was that Elder Wan’s Dao heart was already unstable after killing for three years.

Most of the anger in Old Master Wan Linyun’s heart dissipated. Recently, the Western Sect had begun to retaliate. To be safe, Li Changshou advised Elder Wan Linyun to temporarily return to the World Edge Mystic Realm and stay with Lu Yue.

Even the Primordial Beasts did not dare to enter that place easily. After all, Lu Yue’s poisonous pills had already gone from living beings to the Great Dao.

Li Changshou was not in a hurry.

He first arranged for the Goddess of Golden Spirit, who had specially come to the trichiliocosm to kill people because she felt guilty, to ambush the other party with Zhao Gongming and kill more than ten Primordial Beasts.

When Daoist Wen Jing rushed to the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom to help, she arranged a few huge retreats and asked Daoist Wen Jing to kill some people from the Chaos Immortal Alliance who were scheming and had negative karma.

In that case, he could not only delay the conflict within the Immortal Alliance, but he could also help Wen Jing accumulate battle merits.

Over time, more than half of the hidden forces that the Western Sect had accumulated over the years had been damaged. There were not many Primordial Beasts that could be used.

The eastern region of the trichiliocosm, which had been bustling for three years, fell into a deadlock again. The Western Sect could finally take a breather.

In the past three years, they had been tortured by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in the five continents of the Primordial World.

The disciples of the Saint had to completely conceal their whereabouts when they went out. They did not dare to mention that they were cultivators of the spiritual mountain.

More than 20% of the tens of thousands of years of heritage in the trichiliocosm had been lost. Although some itinerant cultivators could “help” fill the gap in their strength, in the end, they had already reached the extent of suffering serious injuries…

The most terrifying thing was that they did not know how long the revenge of the Heavenly Courts’ Taibai Jinxing would last.

To be honest, they had only been secretly schemed by a senior brother whom they were not familiar with. He had killed a Golden Immortal, more than ten Heaven Immortals, hundreds of Perfected Immortals, Essence Immortals, and even disciples of the Immortal Du Sect who had yet to become immortals…

Why did this Maitreya provoke this fellow for no reason?!

It was less than three and a half years away. Li Changshou’s main body had been in the Heavenly Courts’ Great White Palace.

During this period…

The process of “forming a team” with Elder Wan to cheat others was very pleasant. He also found a little of his youth that was used to spreading poison. It was really a good thing.

The process of mediating between the Deputy Alliance Leaders of the Immortal Alliance and the Heavenly Courts’ Marshals was a little boring. However, it was a necessary move and barely qualified.

The only bad thing was that Master Zhao still kept a distance from the Goddess of Golden Spirit in front of others.

Moreover, that was the request of the Goddess of Golden Spirit. Every few days, Master Zhao would talk to Li Changshou’s paper effigy and develop serious doubts about himself…

“Changgeng, is the Goddess of Golden Spirit unwilling to tell others about us because of my incompetence?”

Regarding that, Li Changshou could only smile awkwardly and give Master Zhao more paintings that he had used on Jiu Wu back then. He also asked Master Zhao to hunt some poisonous items.

He would resume his old career.

In the past three years, the greatest achievement was not in the trichiliocosm, but on the Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou further integrated Little Qiong Peak’s array formation and filled in the details that he had neglected previously. He further increased the “independence” of the array formation and reduced its reliance on controlling the array formation.

When Sect Leader Ji Wuyou faced the tribulation, if Ling’e could unleash one-tenth of the Little Qiong Peak’s strength, she would not be so arrogant as to make more than ten Golden Immortals.

Of course, that was Li Changshou’s fault. It had nothing to do with Ling’e.

At that time, Little Junior Sister had already worked very hard. It was not easy for her to make a choice in a few breaths.

In order to prevent her from being arrogant, Li Changshou took the opposite approach and made her reflect on herself for a few months. In the past three years, she had been learning the correct usage of the Little Qiong Peak’s composite array system.

In addition, half a year ago, Little Gold and Little Silver had sent over a treasure pouch that contained the treasure that Li Changshou had asked for previously.

Bear Armor!

It was a set of purple-gold chain mail. Although its defensive ability could only be considered ordinary, the product of the Grand Supreme Elder was definitely not an ordinary item, especially the armor that had cost the Grand Supreme Elder many ancient treasures and ancient spiritual objects.

The first thing it resolved was Xiong Lingli’s mobility issue.

After Xiong Lingli put on the armor, she thought of something and slowly floated up. She could walk in the air and move around freely.

In the past three years, under Li Changshou’s coercion and temptations, Xiong Lingli had been cultivating the Transformation Spell wholeheartedly. She could barely become bigger and smaller.

However, Li Changshou still did not let her leave the Little Qiong Peak.

Otherwise, if he suddenly turned into a mountain while walking, chatting, and smiling, he would definitely cause various accidents.

When Little Gold and Little Silver gave him the armor, they even said that the Grand Supreme Elder would create a set of weapons for Xiong Lingli next. They asked Xiong Lingli if she liked knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, and hammers.

Xiong Lingli decisively chose a pair of super-large copper hammers.

The little hammer that could smash the Dragonspine Phoenix’s chest was the romance of Magi!

Be it Yang Jian or the monkey, when they charge into the Heavenly Courts, they would have to undergo the baptism of a thousand-feet-tall mountain giant who was beating their chest with a small hammer!

Li Changshou felt emotional just thinking about that scene!

Of course, it was impossible for everything to go smoothly.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy had not improved much in the past three years.

The advantage of being a paper effigy was that it was cheap. It was equivalent to having countless incarnations. Moreover, it could ignore the barriers of the universe to a certain extent and move its mind in real time.

The disadvantage was very obvious. He was too weak and could not replenish his immortal power.

Furthermore, Maitreya had already grasped a countermeasure.

That made Li Changshou more worried in the past three years. Every time he acted, he had to prepare a few backup plans for if he lost contact.

Actually, he had already thought of an improved method three years ago. However, there were many problems in reality.

There was no choice. He had already modified it too many times. Even with the support of the Outer Golden Pill, there was not much room for improvement. He could only take another path and develop other paths.

“Ah, incarnation is indeed a problem.”

Li Changshou rubbed his glabella and lay under the tree of the Little Qiong Peak. He looked at the Great White Hall that was distorted by the Mustard Seed Cosmic Array in the distance and looked extremely magnificent. His mind slowly emptied.

Suddenly, he wanted to see Yun Xiao. Since he had nothing to do for the next few days, he would give himself a break and take the initiative to go to the Three-Immortal Island.

The two of them had made substantial progress in their relationship previously… roughly.

This time, he had to go from holding hands and kissing to the next great stage. He had to hug her politely!

Huh?

Mind Disturbance?

Li Changshou immediately closed his eyes and searched for the source of the disturbance.

A few of the paper effigies that he had scattered outside had left behind a hint of mental power. At that moment, it was as if they had subconsciously sensed something that they cared about.

After a while, Li Changshou closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows. He found the source of the disturbance.

The black leopard spirit suddenly came out of seclusion!

Li Changshou’s mind returned to a valley at the border of the South Continent, the Middle Continent, and the East Continent. Li Changshou’s paper effigy opened his eyes and saw a bush. His body silently merged into the remaining land.

He almost habitually activated the Wind Speech Incantation and carefully extended his immortal senses. He immediately heard the black leopard muttering in front of his Cave Abode.

“Are you alright?”

He should be missing that water demon.

Speaking of water demons, Li Changshou felt a little emotional.

Originally, the black leopard’s cultivation level was inferior to the water demon. The water demon was very obedient to the black leopard and kept encouraging it.

However, when the black leopard regained his memories of his previous life and knew that he was an immortal of Jie School in his previous life and insisted on going to Golden Ao Island, the water demon chose to leave without saying anything.

The black leopard muttered again, “Senior Lu Ya.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Is the fake Lu Ya okay?

Forget it, don’t care about these details.

Li Changshou calculated the time. There were about 200 years before the South Continent would become the new human emperor.

In the original God-Conferment Story, Shen Gongbao had become a disciple of the Jade Void Palace along with Jiang Ziya.

Now that the God roll is in the hands of the Heavenly Courts, could it be that Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya want to acknowledge me, Taibai Jinxue?

Isn’t this a mess?

Li Changshou pondered for a while. He could not figure out what fate Shen Gongbao, who was the best partner in the Tribulation, would have in the future.

He could only watch closely.

The black leopard stretched and restrained its demonic aura. It emitted a wisp of clear air and secretly cultivated the technique of Jie School. It could barely be considered to have changed the background of the demons.

He had already touched the threshold of the Heaven Immortal realm. His cultivation speed was indeed not slow.

At that moment, when the black leopard moved, Li Changshou felt that the Heavenly Dao was going to cause trouble. It would either speed up the black leopard’s cultivation or use it to do something.

The black leopard rode a cloud and soared into the sky. After hesitating for a while in the air, it flew towards the southeast, as if it wanted to go to Golden Ao Island.

Li Changshou thought for a while and did not let the paper effigy follow too closely. Instead, he activated the “network” of paper effigies buried under the East Ocean and took in the black leopard’s every move.

The blue sky was long and the white clouds were leisurely. The black leopard seemed to have walked out of the haze of being abandoned. It maintained the appearance of a middle-aged Daoist and walked leisurely in the sky.

He even hummed a tune as he flew.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Did he worry too much?

This black leopard was clearly the true son of the Great Tribulation and the son of the Heavenly Dao. Before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was fully activated, the Heavenly Dao would not let anything happen to the black leopard. Why should he look at him?

Forget it, I’ll be steady.

Although he did not dare to say that he was confident that he could completely control the black leopard, he was 99% confident that he could make the black leopard use him at the crucial moment.

Give the Dao Ancestor more respect.

However, what happened next gradually exceeded Li Changshou’s imagination.

The black leopard flew towards the south of the East for a while. It was indeed heading towards Golden Ao Island.

However, when it flew to the southeast corner of the South Continent, the black leopard frowned and suddenly turned around to fly towards the southwest. At the South Ocean, it encountered a middle-aged Daoist who was riding a cloud towards the north.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. The traces left behind by the Heavenly Dao were too severe.

It was not natural at all.

There were countless Qi Refinement cultivators in the Primordial World. Although there were very few Qi Refinement cultivators who went out during the Great Tribulation, there was nothing unusual about them coming from the South Ocean and passing by the South Continent to the East Continent.

However, when the black leopard and the middle-aged Daoist passed each other, the black leopard frowned slightly. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and said, “Fellow Daoist, please wait.”

The middle-aged Daoist frowned and turned to look at the black leopard.

Li Changshou was slightly surprised. He squinted and stared at the middle-aged Daoist.

It did not matter if he stared…

Li Changshou could tell at a glance that the middle-aged Daoist was not human!

The middle-aged Daoist turned around and cupped his hands at the black leopard. He smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve invited me. Why did you suddenly ask me to stop? I don’t seem to know you.”

The black leopard’s eyes were a little lost. He stared at the middle-aged Daoist for a while and smiled awkwardly. “I thought you were an old friend. I didn’t expect you to be mistaken. Fellow Daoist, don’t blame me.”

“Okay.”

The middle-aged Daoist answered with a smile. His smile was like a spring breeze. However, for some reason, the black leopard felt that this person was a little… fake and unreal.

The black leopard could not tell what was wrong.

He did not even know why he suddenly flew there.

The two of them bowed to each other and turned to leave. The middle-aged Daoist was naturally wary. He used his immortal senses to lock onto the black leopard.

When the black leopard flew out of the range of his immortal senses, the person heaved a sigh of relief.

That was close. I was almost exposed.

…

“My name is Du Shuren. I’m not a human, nor am I a living being of the Primordial World. I’m a special existence known as an otherworldly demon in the Primordial World.”

Du Shuren was naturally a fake name. He had casually taken it after occupying the body.

It was not a blessing to be able to come to the Primordial World. It was not the result of hard work either. Everything happened naturally.

From the moment he was born, he had been nurtured as a human.

Although they were called Extraterrestrial Demons, they were actually life forms produced by the resonance of the True Spirit and Great Dao. They were essentially the same as the living beings of the Primordial World.

They were born in relatively stable corners of the Chaos Sea. Their appearance was naturally different from the living beings of the Primordial World. This was because their Dao laws were different, and their definition of the Connate Dao Body was different.

The environment decided their appearance.

In fact, the arrogant living beings of the Primordial World had never looked at them directly. They did not understand that they were mainly divided into seven types and three forms.

In the words of the Primordial World, the three forms were ‘mental demons’, ‘realistic’, and ‘spiritual bodies’.

Of course, that was the classification that Du Shuren had summarized.

The so-called mental demon form should be the most familiar to the living beings of the Primordial World. The spiritual body form was the most common outside Xuandu City.

Because they lived in the Chaos Sea outside the Primordial World, they were greatly affected by the Primordial Dao Law. Therefore, strictly speaking, they had a lot in common with the Primordial World.

Yes… It was completely different from the ugly and strange living beings in the Chaos Sea.

Du Shuren was in the form of a mental demon.

Actually, Du Shuren was more willing to remove the word ‘outer realm’ and call himself —

Heavenly Demons.

He once had a physical body, but as he continued to cultivate and transform, his body had been completely abandoned and turned into an existence that was purely a spiritual body.

How to bewitch the Qi Refinement cultivators, how to enlarge the gaps in the Qi Refinement cultivators’ Dao hearts, how to take advantage of the opportunity to devour the Qi Refinement cultivators’ essence souls and make them become his nutrients was a compulsory lesson for the ‘Heavenly Demons’.

Du Shuren was different from ordinary otherworldly demons.

His potential was outstanding. He was a Skyfiend who came from an upper-class background. Since he was young, he had been nurtured to be a Qi Refinement cultivator. That was so that one day, after invading the essence soul of a Qi Refinement cultivator and controlling their body and mind, he could live like an ordinary Qi Refinement cultivator.

Those low-level Skyfiends only knew how to kill and smash. Du Shuren felt extremely awkward.

An outstanding mental demon should read books, listen to music, do some nurturing, and create some art.

Otherwise, why would they come to the Primordial World? Are they just here to die?

However, Du Shuren did not know why he had been nurtured for so long.

He had sneaked into the Primordial World two years ago.

Before he left, his “mother”, who had once split him from his body, brought him to the holy land of the clan to meet a huge black shadow that he could not sense or see clearly.

Du Shuren felt how insignificant he was. At that time, he could only shrink into a ball of black fog and shiver like a mouse.

Then, the ruler of the Holy Land communicated with his mother for a while. He accidentally used the Heavenly Demon’s “mystical ability” and sensed a conversation.

“Master, can he?”

“Yes, I can insert the plan into its soul and let it know what to do next.”

“Yes, Master. Do you… need to eat?”

His mother asked excitedly. She could not wait to split his huge body into individual parts…

The blurry black shadow sucked away the “brothers” that his mother had split apart.

Alright, I’ve already recovered. I need to be quiet recently. Send him to find the body of the Qi Refinement cultivator I chose previously.

The black shadow reminded him. His “mother” sighed and left the Holy Land with him.

Then, he searched for gaps, descended, bewitched, possessed, and disguised himself.

The first step of the plan that he had obtained was to rush to the core of the Primordial World, the five continents.

After arriving there, Du Shuren waited for half a year. Then, a second plan surfaced in his mind.

“Go to the East Continent and find an immortal sect that is attached to a Heaven Immortal realm cultivator.”

Hence, he was just ordinary. He flew from a town in the South Ocean to the East Continent.

There were no dangers along the way. Just now, when he entered the border of the South Continent, he suddenly met an old Daoist priest who shouted at him, “Fellow Daoist, please wait.”

At that time, Du Shuren thought that he was about to be exposed. However, the other party had mistaken him for someone else and his performance was almost perfect.

It was not difficult to sneak into the Primordial World…

“Fellow Daoist?”

He suddenly heard a voice calling out to him.

Du Shuren was confused. He turned around and saw a young Daoist with a smile.

The other party smiled and shook the jade flute in his hand slightly.

“Are you interested in climbing the mountain together?”
