Chapter 690: The God-Conferment “Academy”!

Child Bi Yun was still dead.

When Li Jing brought Nezha to the city tower, Li Changshou had a strong premonition. When Li Jing realized that the Cosmic Bow was intact, Nezha’s eyes were filled with eagerness…

Fortunately, it was not Li Jing who pulled the Cosmic Bow in the end. Otherwise, Ren School would not be able to survive today.

“Father, can I try pulling this Cosmic Bow? I pulled it before!”

Little Nezha shouted excitedly.

Li Jing’s eyes were filled with benevolence. He raised his hand and slapped Nezha. He whispered, “Don’t be naughty. This bow is a treasure from outer space. It’s used to suppress evil. It’s not something you can play with.”

Nezha rolled his eyes and was about to say something when Li Jing placed the Cosmic Bow wrapped in immortal light in front of him.

“Don’t touch those long arrows. Don’t be smug about it.”

“Thank you, Father!”

Nezha was so happy that he almost jumped up. He carried the Cosmic Bow and rushed to the side of the city wall. He turned around and jumped onto the wall. He raised his head and puffed out his chest, attracting the attention of many soldiers and citizens below.

“Mhm!”

Little Nezha cleared his throat and held the Cosmic Bow. He took a deep breath and gathered his strength. He made a standard posture of pulling the bow and shooting the eagle. He pulled the long bow to the limit that he could reach.

At this moment!

A Heaven Shaking Arrow disappeared and appeared in Little Nezha’s hand.

Li Jing frowned and was about to stop him. He felt that something was amiss.

However, Little Nezha had already released his fingers!

The bowstring vibrated, and the Heaven Shaking Arrow pierced through the sky. It left a long trail in the blue sky and instantly disappeared.

“Oh…”

The soldiers and citizens below…

“Oh…”

Everyone praised.

Nezha looked up and turned his head guiltily. “You can shoot so far.”

Li Jing was speechless.

“Father, don’t be angry. I’ll chase the arrow back now!”

Nezha muttered softly. He pulled out two small wheels from the pouch at his waist and threw them in front of him. The wheels spun and were wrapped in flames.

Nezha kicked his shoes away and stepped on them barefoot. Under the surprised and loving gazes of the citizens, he sped towards the northwest and searched for traces of the Heaven Shaking Arrow.

In the Goddess of Stone, Shi Ji’s Cave Abode on the skeleton mountain…

“Is this the flower you plucked yesterday? Why are you so careless? Go and pluck it again! Otherwise, I’ll punish you by making you enter seclusion for a hundred years!”

As the owner of the Cave Abode reprimanded him, the little boy was dejected. He held the flower basket and strolled out.

What could the boy say?

This is life, right? Life.

Roar!

He heard the deafening beast roar at the back of the mountain again. Child Bi Yun trembled a few times and muttered in his heart, “Uncle-Master Ma Yuan is really too scary.” He followed the familiar mountain path and walked towards the valley below.

He looked at the clouds in the sky and crossed the cool stream. He hummed the immortal music that he had heard when he went to Golden Ao Island with his master.

The boy was actually carefree.

His master was always there to protect him. He was just afraid that something would happen.

Eh?

Why are there stars flashing in the sky? Isn’t it daytime? The sun is in the east.

With a soft thud, Child Bi Yun lowered his head in a daze. He looked at the huge hole in his chest and listened to the ear-piercing scream.

His essence soul instantly shattered, and his vision turned black. He slowly lay down and quickly revealed his jade-like body.

What’s going on?

“Master… Ah, I’m dead.”

Crash!

Bi Yun lay in a pool of blood. There was a deep and small hole under his body, and he could not tell how deep it was.

The ground suddenly trembled, alarming the Qi Refinement cultivators in a radius of thousands of kilometers. Many experts, who had been attracted by the arrow, happened to send their immortal senses over.

In the Cave Abode on the mountainside, Shi Ji, who was dressed in a black dress, hurriedly rushed out. When she saw Bi Yun’s corpse, she frowned.

Her expression immediately turned extremely cold. Her figure turned into a stream of light and rushed over. She lowered her head and looked at Child Bi Yun’s injuries…

His soul was destroyed.

“Who! What a vicious arrow!”

“Fellow Daoist, if you are dissatisfied with Shi Ji, please come and look for it directly. We can fight one or two times. How can you plot against the child in my abode!?!”

“Who schemed against my child!?!”

More than ten figures flew out of the Skull Mountain. Most of them were negative karma and watched the scene from afar.

One of them had a ferocious expression and a third hand on his back. He frowned and looked at the figure of the Goddess of Stone. There was some hesitation in his eyes.

At that moment, the Goddess of Stone had already discovered the location of the Heaven Shaking Arrow. With a wave of her hand, she pulled the Heaven Shaking Arrow from the depths of the ground and wrapped it with immortal power.

She carefully stared at the Heaven Shaking Arrow a few times, but she could not recognize it. She pinched her fingers and deduced. Only then did she remember that the heavenly secrets were blocked by the Great Tribulation.

Li Changshou, who had captured that scene through the paper bird and bronze mirror system, nodded slightly.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao paid attention to the details this time. The Dao Ancestor also put away his “arrogance” and did not carve the words “Chentang Pass” on the Heaven Shaking Arrow.

At the very least, it made him, a small opponent of the Heavenly Dao, feel a little respected.

He felt that he had become the supervisor of the Heavenly Dao.

To be honest, the Heaven Shaking Arrow was an ancient Dharma treasure. When the ancient gate of Chentang Pass was closed, it was still a small town at the border of human activity. Why was the word ‘Chentang Pass’ written on it?

If he wanted to write, he had to write the surname of the wise and mighty Xuanyuan senior who had three thousand concubines. That would be domineering.

One of them raised his hand and pointed. “Senior Sister Shi Ji, this arrow is shot from that direction.”

“Thank you!”

Shi Ji thanked him and immediately summoned another boy in the cave. He asked her to bring the corpse of Child Bi Yun and the Heaven Shaking Arrow along. He followed behind her and headed towards the direction indicated by the Daoist.

The path ahead seemed to be northeast of the South Continent.

The Goddess of Stone and Nezha who was chasing after the arrows would naturally meet. There would most likely be a conflict between the two parties. Perfected Taiyi would naturally be attracted and the Heavenly Dao drama of Taiyi killing Shi Ji would erupt.

This scene was unreasonable.

Firstly, Senior Brother Taiyi rarely acted alone. Every time, he would pull Yu Ding. Perfected Yu Ding was old and wise. He would naturally stop Taiyi.

However, this time, Taiyi should have rushed over himself because he had been hiding in Chentang Pass and guarding his precious disciple.

Secondly, if not for the fact that Shi Ji had been struck by a calamity, he would definitely use a stalling tactic when facing the powerful Taiyi. At the very least, he should find some good friends to support him.

Previously, when he was investigating the matter of Jie School “buying and selling degrees”, Li Changshou had interacted with Shi Ji. She was very loyal and was quite famous in the circle of disciples who were not core disciples of Jie School.

However, there was no choice. The death of Shi Ji should be the key to the Heavenly Dao pushing for the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

For that, the Dao Ancestor even personally “talked” with him.

In order to avoid the tragedy of Nezha committing suicide, cutting his flesh, and scraping his bones, Li Changshou had already made many arrangements. The conflict between the dragon race and Nezha had erupted several years in advance. In fact, Li Changshou had secretly affected it.

However, he could not change the matter regarding Shi Ji. Otherwise, it would be a declaration of war against the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, without her, it would still happen.

That was the will of the Heavenly Dao.

“Continue watching.” Li Changshou stood up and stretched. “I’ll go deal with some official matters of the Heavenly Courts. There’s still the battle later.”

Ling’e stood up and saw that her senior brother seemed to be in a bad mood. She asked softly, “Senior Brother, do you need my help?”

“There’s no need.” Li Changshou turned around and looked at Ling’e with a warm smile.

He said, “Just play here in peace. What happened here has nothing to do with Ren School. I’m just depressed that I can’t prevent the Great Tribulation from erupting at Chan School and Jie School.”

He could shoulder some pressure alone.

The Chaos Bell Spirit said, “How can the disciples of the Chan School and Jie School still have the face to live? The Great Tribulation was originally targeted at them. You had interfered, no, mediated, and had already filled the Western Sect with many calamities. It was equivalent to saving many disciples of the two sects. At this moment, you still blame yourself for not being able to avoid the Great Tribulation. Aren’t you underestimating the word Great Tribulation?”

“Perhaps. I’ll get busy first.”

Li Changshou smiled and slowly flew towards the straw hut with his hands behind his back.

In the depths of the Grand White Palace, a paper effigy maintained the image of Taibai Jinxing and slowly walked towards the Heavenly Gate of the court.

“Sometimes, I wonder what Senior Brother Changshou is doing,” Youqin Xuanya said. “However, I keep feeling that I’m getting further and further away from Senior Brother Changshou. I want to chase after him, but I can’t even see his shadow.”

Ling’e sat back on the meditation cushion and held Youqin Xuanya’s slender hand.

“Senior Brother actually didn’t go far. No matter what major things he does or where he sits, his main body will be on the Little Qiong Peak.”

Zhong Ling scoffed and muttered, “I reckon that the day we leave is not far away. Now that the Great Tribulation is about to erupt, I can’t understand the direction of the Great Tribulation at all.”

“Why?”

Youqin Xuanya frowned and said, “Senior, can you explain in more detail?”

“This can be considered my personal secret manual. Don’t spread it out.” Zhong Ling snapped her fingers. The Chaos Bell emitted immortal light and covered the four of them.

Xiong Lingli, who was originally sleepy, widened her eyes and looked at the Chaos Bell’s inner wall curiously.

Zhong Ling tapped her fingers on the table and was just short of saying, “These knowledge points have to be tested.”

It whispered, “I’m a Connate Cardinal treasure. When I opened the sky and observed the operation of the Heavenly Dao, I was naturally different from you living beings. The Great Tribulation actually had a pattern of the Great Tribulation. The events followed a line and developed. For example, during the Great Magi-Demon War, the core conflict was between the upper echelons of the two races. There was also the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. It was meant for competition. It also revolved around the dominance of the Primordial World. However, I originally thought that the Great God-Conferment Tribulation this time might be caused by differences in the teachings of the great sects. However, I later realized that even if the teachings of the great sects were different, they could coexist under the harmony of Ren School. There is no internal conflict between Chan School and Jie School. There are only various conflicts.”

Zhong Ling deliberately raised her voice and imitated the way the Dao Ancestor stroked his beard. She said in a low voice, “The Great Tribulation that the Heavenly Dao has sent down this time is equivalent to saying to the Dao Sect—All of you, fulfill this death quota. The line disappeared, and the Heavenly Dao became the direct driver of the Great Tribulation. That is the main reason for the conflict between the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Sect. It is also the problem that your Senior Brother is facing.”

Youqin Xuanya could not help but ask, “Why is the Heavenly Dao so against the Dao Sect?”

“This question is very complicated. Your realm is too low. You can’t cultivate it if you consider these.” Zhong Ling shook her head and smiled. “In short, you just have to believe in your senior brother. This fellow is not evil and has his own plans. He could have stood above all living beings. In one day, he would be above all living beings. Now, he chose to stand beside all living beings and look up at the Heavenly Dao. That is actually a quality that very few mighty figures and mystical abilities had since ancient times. All of them wish that they can replace the Heavenly Dao and absorb all the spiritual energy to become the Primordial Chaos Limitless Saint. From the looks of it, his hometown is really an extraordinary place. Two lonely souls who have come here can make such a choice…”

“Yes?”

“Lonely souls?”

“Ah!” Zhong Ling covered her mouth in an exaggerated manner. “I’ve said too much. Look at my mouth. Everyone, pretend not to hear ~”

Ling’e looked at Xiong Lingli, who was sleeping soundly, and fell into deep thought.

Lone soul?

Yes, he was also a stable lonely soul.

…

“Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

“Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

At the Central Heavenly Gate, a few greetings were exchanged. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals cupped their fists and bowed. Li Changshou stepped on the white cloud and walked out with his hands behind his back. His eyes were filled with leisure and relaxation.

It was as if his mood was not affected at all.

He smiled and left the Central Heaven Gate, landing on the Immortal Island below.

Looking at the Immortal Island, golden light shone on it. The richness of the Heavenly Dao energy was even close to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The God-Conferment Platform was set there.

At that moment, when he looked at the God-Conferment Platform, he saw that it was formed from a twelfth-grade lotus flower. However, the petals were closing and forming a huge “flower bud”.

Every petal was thousands of feet big. There were a few rows of empty seats in the inner wall. There were a total of 360 petals.

There were five thrones in the middle. The exact Deity Position had yet to appear.

Under the lotus platform, there was a square treasure platform. There was nothing commendable about it, but it was very square and neat. Every huge rock was drenched in sweat.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing!”

Bai Jian shouted loudly. His figure flew out of the crack in the God-Conferment Platform and bowed to Li Changshou repeatedly. “Bai Jian greets you, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Greetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

Li Changshou smiled and replied, “General, there’s no need to be so polite. It’s been hard guarding the God-Conferment Platform.”

“It’s not hard.” Bai Jian smiled foolishly. “Please go inside and take a look. I really don’t know how to set up the interior of the God-Conferment Platform.”

“Alright.” Li Changshou agreed and entered the God-Conferment Platform with Bai Jian.

He thought about the first time he saw the North Ocean, the unyielding Yellow Emperor General.

Then, he thought about the creator of the God-Conferment Platform who bowed slightly today, the Golden Guard…

Tsk, with training, there will indeed be growth.

After entering the God-Conferment Platform, it was as if he had entered an independent universe similar to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. However, this place was not isolated from the outside world.

The scenery inside was rather dreamy, but it was very empty.

Above his head, the power of the Heavenly Dao projected the stars in the sky. He could see countless worlds that revolved around the five continents.

Under his feet, there was a glass mirror. Seals crisscrossed like a chessboard.

Li Changshou scanned his surroundings and quickly found a lonely figure sitting in the corner.

Ao Bing.

Bai Jian frowned and said, “Why is this dragon son so blind? Hey, you! Come and greet Lord Taibai Jinxing!”

The figure trembled slightly and opened his eyes to look at the two figures under the starry sky. He sneered and replied, “Can’t I make my own decision after I die? At most, I’ll die again!”

Bai Jian widened his eyes and cursed, “You don’t know how to appreciate favors! Do you really think you can avoid death after entering this place! Where’s the lightning!?!”

Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of lightning dragons flashed under the starry sky and swaggered at Ao Bing.

Ao Bing’s eyes widened. His aura surged as he stood up. He sneered at Bai Jian and Li Changshou and knelt down.

“I was wrong! I know it!”

How stubborn!

“Settled”.

Li Changshou chuckled and raised his hand to support Ao Bing’s soul.

He took out a few jade talismans from his sleeve and handed them to Bai Jian. He smiled and said, “General, please follow the blueprint inside and build the God-Conferment Platform. Becoming a god is not a child’s play. It is not easy to become a god. Therefore, I want to set up a God-Conferment Academy in the God-Conferment Platform and teach the immortals who enter this place in advance how to be good and responsible gods. The credit for this is in the future. General, please be careful.”

Bai Jian puffed out his chest and raised his head. He exuded a sense of mission and bowed deeply to Li Changshou.

“Yes, General!”

Li Changshou patted Bai Jian’s shoulder and strolled towards the trembling Ao Bing. He said warmly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m on good terms with your second brother. I’m here to compensate you.”

As he spoke, Li Changshou tapped his fingers and created a short table and two meditation cushions out of thin air.

“Sit down and chat.”

Ao Bing hurriedly nodded and said, “Ah, about that, I’ll just stand.”

Li Changshou could not help but chuckle. This fellow now knew what humility was.
