My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 102 You Don’t Understand the Sea God At All!

He returned to Little Qiong Peak and entered the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou used his immortal senses to admire the attic defensive array formation that he had built for Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.

Indeed, if he had not left behind a “back door”, he would not have been able to see through the layers of light walls...

After that incident, Little Aunt-Master’s safety in the sect had improved significantly.

Although he had spent a lot of precious materials...

the value of life was far beyond what those treasures could measure!

He started counting the “friends” whom he was involved with, such as his Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, Uncle-Master Jiu Wu, Elder Wan Linyun... and his half-toxic Junior Sister.

The number of “friends” he had now had exceeded his expectations.

He had to be careful in the future, in case he got involved in some strange things because he had too many friends.

He then checked the array formations of Little Qiong Peak and observed the situations of the various peaks in the sect.

After sensing the Dao runes that his junior sister revealed during her cultivation, he secretly glanced at his master who was cultivating hard in the straw hut...

After making sure that everything was normal, Li Changshou activated the array formations outside the Pill Chamber. He left a wisp of his conscious behind to guard his main body, devoting most of it to the paper effigies.

The most important thing to do now was to sever the karma between him and the Sea God of the South Ocean. He could not let the South Ocean Sea God continue growing and expanding tyrannically...

In the space of the underground rock veins, he slowly opened his eyes. Li Changshou checked the Sensing Stone on the paper doll’s body and the simple array formations around it.

Very good, no one noticed... After stabilizing the paper effigy’s aura, Li Changshou used an escape technique while he was underground. He went from 10,000 feet deep to 1,000 feet deep.

He had carefully thought about it before deciding on the depth of 1,000 feet underground At this depth, the Earth Escape technique worked rather quickly. It would not cause him to leave behind any aura disturbances on the ground or hit any hard treasure mineral veins while escaping...

Even if he really bumped into any, it would be possible for him to strike a fortune because of that...

At that moment, Li Changshou was in the region of the border between the East Continent and the South Continent. He passed by some of the demons’ territories and quickly approached the mortal world of the South Continent.

In order to increase his safety, Li Changshou chose the path that he had taken previously...

He scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and saw mountains and rivers that were greeting him. They came and went in a hurry.

With a thought, he saw the familiar scenes again.

For example, the battles between the Qi Refinement cultivators who often appeared, as well as the battles between the mountain demons and spirits that were not rare.

The spectacular battle at that spot finally stopped. The city walls were stained red.

Li Changshou chanced upon the traces of his uncle and aunt-in-law who had chosen to pursue love and freedom, at the edge of a forest.

His uncle was still around, but his aunt-in-law was nowhere to be found. There was another young man nearby who was chopping wood and igniting some fire...

This was probably the mundaneness of the mortal world.

After using Earth Escape for two days, Li Changshou found a hidden corner under a large city in the mortal world where he replaced the paper effigy who was traveling.

The immortal power of the paper effigies could not be restored on its own. It was not worth it to waste one paper effigy’s combat power on the journey.

Li Changshou took another seven to eight days to get close to himself...

What does that mean!?!

The matter regarding the Sea God and the South Ocean Sect never had anything to do with me!

If he could return the merit of incense offerings and exchange them for the destruction of the South Ocean Sea God Sect without any consequences, Li Changshou would definitely agree.

The scale of the South Ocean Sea God Sect was not considered large at the moment. Most of the fishermen of the towns and villages located at the edge of the South Ocean consecrated the Sea God.

The first place Li Changshou chose to land on was the border of the South Sea Divine Sect. It was an ordinary town located on the plains.

There were about five to six thousand residents in that down. Many vendors were resting there and it was considered rather prosperous...

On the main road leading through the town, they could see some gentle “passing beasts” like cows and horses. They were pulling some carriages with passengers and goods.

A temple of the Sea God was built along the main road on the southern side of the town.

CISE

The incense in the temple was burning brightly. Most people who had gone out would go to offer incense and pray for peace upon returning home. After hiding in an empty corner and observing for a few hours, Li Changshou finally brought himself to come out of the ground and leave the forest...

At that moment, the appearance of the paper effigy was that of an old Daoist priest with white hair and white beard.

He was dressed in a grayish-white clean robe, with a Daoist band around his head and a horsetail whisk in his hands. When he walked, he looked like he was floating on the ground. He looked like an otherworldly expert who was filled with immortal Qi...

Li Changshou first strolled around the town where many mortals looked at him.

The place was considered a border region of the mortal world. The people there lived rather simple lives. Everyone did not see many Qi Refinement cultivators who had such an image. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

Other than being curious, the villagers also showed their passion.

When they passed by the bun shop, a peddler delivered hot steamed buns.

When they walked past the teahouse, a young man ran to the lobby and greeted them with a cup of hot tea.

When she passed by an elegant wooden building, a window was pushed open. A short stick that was supporting the window dropped by accident. The young lady behind the window covered her mouth and chuckled...

Li Changshou was nowhere to be seen. He walked slowly and approached the temple of the Sea God of the South Ocean.

The temple was not considered grand.

In fact, it was just a square courtyard. A ten-feet-tall stone statue was erected in the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Li Changshou looked up at the statue. Its face, body, and appearance were very similar to his own. He sighed in his heart.

It was also because his abilities were not up to standard yet and he had also yet to master the mystical abilities that could not be remembered by others yet.

At that time, Li Changshou had been struck by the Heavenly Tribulation’s Heavenly Punishment and was seriously injured. He had also fallen into the realization of his ascension. He really could not care about these details...

At this moment, he could only think of ways to salvage the situation.

“Oh? Where did you come from?”

A voice suddenly came from the corner of the courtyard. A short and thin “Qi Refinement cultivator” who was dressed in a dirty and tattered Daoist robe scurried over.

That person’s cultivation level seemed to be only at the third level of the Qi Refinement realm. He could barely cast any weak spells.

He had set up a stall in the corner of the courtyard for divination. He also sold some “long joss sticks” that were of varying prices. Li Changshou reckoned that he should have been there to earn a living.

However, Li Changshou did not dare to be careless at all.

It was possible that that person was a snitch of the Western Sect. He might also be an expert whom Li Changshou could not see through...

Even though the chances of this happening were not high,

In short, after he entered the area where the Sea God had influence over, Li Changshou would constantly remind himself to be careful.

The old fortune-teller quickly walked over. When he was about 30 feet away, Li Changshou had already bowed...

“Fellow Daoist, greetings.”

“This?”

The old fortune-teller was stunned for a moment. He darted his small eyes around, and he immediately bowed in return.

He smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you’re being too polite.

Fellow Daoist, where did you come from? Why did you come to our small temple?”

Li Changshou replied, “I have traveled to this place from afar. I can see that there are plenty of incense offerings here. However, I have never heard of the venerable gods in this temple. I’m a little puzzled, so I came to take a look.”

The old fortune-teller frowned. “Have you never heard of the Sea God?”

Li Changshou shook his head and smiled. “It’s my first time here...”

The old fortune-teller yelled, “Elder! Don’t say that in front of the Sea God!”

He then continued with a stern face, “The name of the Sea God is known throughout the world! Elder, please be careful with your words and actions when you’re in front of the Sea God’s statue. Some time ago, the rich man in town said something wrong and offended the Sea God. However, the next day, he died after getting drunk from a glass of wine. The young lady he just married became a widow!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Huh? The Sea God is that efficacious?”

“That’s right.” The old fortune-teller, who was in the Qi Refinement realm, laughed smugly. A devotee who was standing by the side also responded and said that it was indeed the case.

Then, the old fortune-teller continued from where he had left off and began to talk about... the story of the Sea God.

More than ten mortals who had gone to offer incense also gathered at the side.

When the old fortune-teller told him the story, the mortals kept chiming in. Everyone had their own things to say, and it was as if they had experienced it personally. Li Changshou patiently listened to the old fortune-teller’s words, and his heart kept cramping up.

Currently, in the vicinity of the South Ocean, there were a few stories about the Sea God that were the most widely circulated.

They were ‘The Sea God War’s Carp Spirit’, ‘The Six Shows of the Sea God And The Dragon Girl’, ‘The Sea God says: The pain caused by the storm is nothing.”‘, ‘The Sea God Brought The Fishes’, ‘You Have To Put In Effort If You Believe in the Sea God’...

Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Li Changshou would not believe it even if there was an onomatopoeia.

I definitely did not do anything!

I have never seen the Carp Spirit or the Dragon Girl before!

Also, can the young girl who had been pregnant with the Sea God’s child out of wedlock carefully investigate the cause and effect of the matter? He could not afford to be convicted of such an unnecessary crime!

The old man’s mouth was dry after talking for a long time. Seeing that Li Changshou did not speak, he humphed softly.

“Do you understand what we’re saying?”

“Yes, I did hear you but I don’t quite understand.” Li Changshou smiled slightly. At that moment, he looked kind and amiable. Li Changshou explained earnestly, “Gathering incense is also a cultivation method. I looked around and did not see any miracles. Fellow Daoist, do you feel that you were exaggerating?”

The old fortune-teller widened his eyes and shouted, “Exaggerated?! Hey! Where did you come from, old man? Why did you come here? We are from the Sea God Sect. The Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect are all extremely powerful!”

Li Changshou’s mind was filled with thoughts as he continued, “You can gain infinite strength with some cultivation. You guys might have been used. If the Sea God of the South Sea is so efficacious, I will just stand here and let him make his presence known.”

The surrounding mortals looked like they were about to beat him up. There was pain written all over the fortune-teller’s face.

“You, you... You don’t understand our Sea God at all! Forget it, leave quickly! The Sea God is quite generous to you now. He might punish you later!”

Li Changshou still wanted to speak, but the old man had already begun chasing him away. His tone was also anxious.

One of them retreated while the other advanced. The surrounding mortals chased him as well.

Li Changshou took advantage of the chaos and left some cobwebs in the corner of the courtyard’s gate. Finally, he got chased out by the old Daoist priest and the other devotees... Standing in front of the courtyard, Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It was quite a strange thing to be thrown out of the temple that was used to consecrate his own statue.

Li Changshou deliberately sighed. The old immortal, who was actually the paper effigy, waved his horsetail whisk a few times and walked along the main road towards the south...

In the beginning, he had left behind the Double-Eyed Spider cobweb in order to understand the Sea God Sect better.

If he wanted to destroy the Sea God Sect without any bloodshed, he would have to understand why so many people believed in him, the Sea God who had never appeared before. He had to find the key points and overthrow them one by one.

However, the cobweb that Li Changshou had placed there gave him a small surprise when it was quiet at night... In the middle of the night, the old fortune-teller slipped out of the room and took out a paper talisman. He lit up the talisman and waited quietly in the courtyard.

Not long after, a crow landed in the courtyard under the moonlight. It looked around and turned into the figure of a human.

The old fortune-teller lowered his head and did not dare to look further. He spoke in a trembling voice and explained about the old immortal whom he had encountered during the day...
