My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 402 Changshou Returns to the Mountain, Black Leopard Visits

The night was dark and the wind was strong in the Little Qiong Peak. There were incense sticks and shadows in the forest.

Ling’e, who had just received a message from her senior brother, put on a Daoist robe and rushed out of the straw hut. She held the jade token and rushed to the Pill Chamber.

However, just as she arrived at the Pill Chamber, Ling’e heard a suppressed voice... Choking? She panicked and jumped out of the darkness of the forest. She landed in front of the brightly lit Pill Chamber and saw... her senior brother lying on the rocking chair with tears streaming down his face! Crack!

A bolt of lightning seemed to have appeared behind Ling’e’s back. She dodged backward and looked shocked.

Why did the sky suddenly collapse!?!

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Ling’e sobbed and knelt in front of the rocking chair. She held Li Changshou’s hand and shouted, “Tell me if there’s anything. No matter what happens, we’ll shoulder it together! Is it Master? Is Master hopeless? Senior Brother, did you make a mistake in your cultivation? If your Dao Fruit of Longevity is destroyed, I will accompany you to reincarnate or something!” “Ling’e... is fine...”

Li Changshou replied with a trembling voice. His Adam’s apple bobbed and he exuded a strong sense of sorrow.

Ling’e’s eyelids drooped, and tears rolled down her face like pearls. She placed the back of her senior brother’s hand on her cheek and whimpered softly, “Senior Brother, don’t scare me. If you’re gone now, what should I do? I can’t even be considered a widow for you now. I can only guard your grave... Aiya! Senior Brother, why did you hit me!?!”

“What are you shouting for!?!” Li Changshou cursed angrily and retracted the finger that had flicked her forehead. He wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes and sighed.

“Isn’t that a little too much?”

Ling’e covered her forehead and pursed her lips. She looked at her senior brother gloomily and said, “Senior Brother, I haven’t seen you cry in so many years. I’m worried.” “I’m not crying.” Li Changshou sighed. “I’m just venting the suppressed emotions in my Dao heart.”

Ling’e was confused.

Li Changshou shook his head and stared at the gloomy night. He tried his best to calm the sorrow in his Dao heart.

Two hours after he returned to the mountain, he had been crying for two hours. Half a day ago, when he left the Netherworld, Li Changshou rejected Master Zhao’s invitation to a meal on the grounds that he wanted to go to the Sea God Sect and the Heavenly Courts to settle the subsequent matters. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was deliberately taken back by the Great Daoist Master. The Great Daoist Master even specially asked Fairy Yun Xiao to send Li Changshou’s main body back to the sect...

He was still a good senior brother.

It was rare for Li Changshou to be strong. He took the initiative to send Fairy Yun Xiao back to the Three-Immortal Island and drank a cup of tea there. After chatting for a while, he embarked on his return journey alone.

Li Changshou could not help but feel a little insecure because he lacked the protection of the Pagoda Master... He could have escaped back in an hour, but he had gone around the Middle Continent! After returning to the Little Qiong Peak and lying back on the comfortable rocking chair, Li Changshou sighed softly. Wisps of dark blue Dao runes floated around him, and a sense of sorrow emerged from his body. He thought about the longevity of the world and cried. There is a limit to everything. How can one guard against loneliness?

Previously, Li Changshou had been affected by Little Grief. However, he had suppressed the sadness and created an unfathomable feeling.

Ahem, it’s not because of Fairy Yun Xiao! This kind of pure sadness and pure infectious power could not be resisted without any Dao heart...

Ling’e moved a meditation cushion over and sat beside Li Changshou. With her most serious and gentle voice, she asked softly, “Senior Brother, did something happen?”

“It’s nothing serious,” Li Changshou said calmly. “It’s just that when I was helping Goddess Houtu suppress the Seven Emotions incarnation, I was affected by the Dao runes formed by the Seven Emotions of all lives. I just have to vent these emotions.”

Ling’e blinked. She seemed to have heard something extraordinary from her senior brother...

Li Changshou said, “Do you know why I called you over?”

“I know.” Ling’e sighed softly and put on a helpless expression. She turned to look at the side and said, “If rewarding me by making me copy sutras can make Senior Brother happy, I... am willing...” “There’s no need for that this time. Play some happy songs for me. I want to improve my mental state.”

“Hehe, why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll do it

now!”

Ling’e immediately moved back and released two paper effigies to pick up the drum and flute. She also took out an ancient zither and played a cheerful tune.

Li Changshou smiled and closed his eyes again. When the waves of sorrow gradually subsided, his mind began to get busy again.

The fact that the Lady of Earth’s Seven Emotions could be resolved successfully was naturally because of the cooperation of the Heavenly Courts, the Dragon Palace, and the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools.

Li Changshou’s paper Daoists set off again. They went to the Dragon Palace to thank the Dragon King and told him about the progress of the matter. Then, they found General Dongmu in the Heavenly Courts and discussed the matter of sending people to the Netherworld to express their gratitude.

At General Dongmu’s place, Li Changshou received some unexpected news.

Previously, when he gathered the willpower of all living beings, a wave of willpower gathered in the trichiliocosm and rushed to the Netherworld. It was injected into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and added quite a bit of help.

The source of this power...

It was the large number of incense offerings that the Western Sect controlled in the Three Thousand Worlds!

The Western Sect helped us?

Li Changshou pondered carefully and understood the intentions of the Western Sect. There were only three.

Firstly, he would give the Netherworld a favor so that it would be easier for them to do things in the Netherworld in the future.

Secondly, he could help the Six Paths of Reincarnation at the same time as the Dao Sect. He could be considered to be working for the Heavenly Dao. Although he could not obtain merit, he could use that to redeem some luck.

Thirdly, he had to uphold justice. In the cruel environment of the Primordial World, morality seemed to be a joke. That was indeed the case before the Dao Ancestor completed his Dao Integration and the six Saints were born. The ancient times were purely about who was stronger and who was more reasonable. The so-called Dao was just a cover for the strong.

However, after the Dao Ancestor integrated the Dao and the six Saints appeared, the Primordial World was set. One’s background and identity became more important than strength.

The six Saints had established the basic order of the Primordial World.

The existence of the Heavenly Dao made the word ‘morality’ more important. The Western Sect had helped him this time because they wanted to maintain their moral integrity and give him a proper name. They wanted to show the responsibility of the Primordial World and continue to compete with the Dao Sect.

They probably meant — “Our Western Sect is not the villain of the Primordial World. We are competing with the Dao Sect. We each have our own stand.”

Did the Saint give the order or did Ksitigarbha or the other disciples of the Saint take the initiative to mention it?

Li Changshou pondered for a while. There was naturally no answer to that question. He smiled and stopped thinking. Yes, I should think about how to help the Netherworld in the future and earn more merit.

This time, when he helped the Lady of Earth, the Heavenly Dao bestowed a huge amount of merit to the Nine Immortals of the Dao Sect. Li Changshou was the most important person among them who had contributed the most, so he naturally obtained the most merit.

However, just as the Great Daoist Master had reminded him previously... Li Changshou would naturally gain less merit if he distributed it to the Dao Sect experts who were there to help. There was nothing he could do about that. Since it concerned the Great Deity Empress, Li Changshou naturally wanted everything to be stable. The Golden Body of Merit was almost 90% complete! However, 90% of them were “materials”.

Other than offsetting negative karma, merit alone was not of much use. Only the complete Golden Body of Merit could produce the effect of the Heavenly Dao’s protection.

Of course, Li Changshou’s train of thought had never changed. He wanted the Golden Body of Merit, not for the sake of protecting his life.

With the protection of the Golden Body of Merit, his safety would increase by at least 30% in dangerous situations that did not involve Saints.

When it came to dangerous situations involving the Saints, he could use the Golden Body of Merit to make the Saints... hesitate.

That was a chance of survival!

Li Changshou had long prepared the method to cultivate the Merit Golden Body. He had also thought of changing it, but he could not find a suitable idea.

At that moment, the part that his Merit Golden Body lacked was only a calf and a foot.

Then, can I get a small-sized prosthetic limb?

Golden Body of Merit Heavenly Crippled Leg?

“Hahaha!”

Li Changshou could not help but laugh when he imagined that scene.

Ling’e stopped playing and said happily, “Senior Brother, are you alright?” “Ah, my Dao heart is fine.” Li Changshou stretched his arm and looked at Ling’e who was in front of him. He could not help but fall into deep thought.

Ling’e blushed and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” “Ling’e, how long have you been cultivating for?”

How long have I been cultivating? Could it be that... Senior Brother is going to make a move on me?

The family flower is finally going to succeed and bear fruit. Can the relationship between the two of us break through further?

Dong! Lingle’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red. She stammered and could not say a complete sentence. She decided to forgo the girl’s reservedness and uneasiness and said the words that she had prepared for many years in a soft voice, “I, I... I’m ready...”

“Oh?”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “You can actually guess what I’m thinking. After your cultivation level is higher, your intelligence has also increased.

Let’s settle on going down the mountain and traveling twelve years later. It’s time for you to face the Primordial World.” “Huh?”

Ling’e was stunned. Li Changshou chuckled and turned into a wisp of smoke before disappearing into the Pill Chamber.

Where can I go to fill the gaps with merit? Although eliminating demons was a relatively stable choice, it would suddenly give the demons too much pressure and could easily cause the demons to rebound violently.

He still had to use Daoist Lu Ya as the core of his plan. He had to use the latter’s identity as the Crown Prince of the Demon Courts to attract more negative karma demons.

The most ideal plan was to let the demons take the initiative to pressure the Heavenly Courts and raise the flag to rebel against the heavens. Then, it would be logical and reasonable for him to harvest merit.

The demons’ current strength and heritage were far inferior to the entire human race.

However, compared to the Heavenly Courts that had just been established, they could not be underestimated.

Li Changshou counted the matters that he had to deal with in the next few decades. The Heavenly Courts recruited troops, completed the reincarnation plan, targeted Lu Ya, secretly protected the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and let his junior sister understand the dangers of the world...

In principle, he would not take the initiative to plot against those matters. At the moment of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he had already appeared in the South Continent. He was also protected by Big Sister Kong Xuan, ahem, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan.

Li Changshou only needed to take his time and make preparations according to his rhythm. There was no need to be anxious.

The higher-ups and the anxious ones were the biggest enemies of stability!

Next, he would first talk to Junior Sister Yougin and see where she had cultivated to. Before she went to the Heavenly Courts, he would try his best to raise her cultivation realm to the Heaven Immortal realm.

Yes... I still have to arrange a show to let Yougin and the Heavenly Courts’ Water God officially become friends. That way, I can give her a strong background and background.

After all, she was a junior sister who had gone to the Heavenly Courts to help him. He naturally could not treat her unfairly.

“Senior... Senior, are you there?” “Huh?”

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. Most of his attention was focused on the paper effigy hiding at the border between the South Continent and the East Continent. He extended his immortal senses and stared at the Cave Abode of the black leopard couple.

Water Demon Miao Miao was pacing back and forth in front of the cave, holding the jade token that Li Changshou had given her previously.

What’s going on?

Li Changshou’s paper effigy stood up and checked his appearance. After confirming that he had been showing the old Daoist priest’s appearance to the black leopard couple, he rode a cloud and rushed over.

His immortal senses captured that the black leopard was sleeping soundly on a stone table in the cave. There were two jars of immortal wine around him. It was obvious that his wife had made him drunk.

This scene...

If the black leopard were to see this, he would definitely think that something was going on between “Old Daoist Lu Ya” and the water demon Miao Miao!

When he arrived at the cave, Li Changshou asked with a straight face, “Why did you look for me in a hurry? Why did you make your husband drunk?”

The water demon bowed and hurriedly answered, “These few days, my husband has been thinking about the immortals of Jie School. He even said that he wants to go to Golden Ao Island. I asked him what happened. He said that he had been missing his old friend on Golden Ao Island recently and wanted to visit him. Golden Ao Island is the Dao venue of Jie School. There are many experts there. We are just two little demons. How would we dare to visit there? If we offend any expert, wouldn’t we be in trouble? Senior, can you persuade my husband?”

“It’s fine.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and frowned. “If he wants to go, he can go.”

The water demon frowned and asked softly, “Is this fine?”

“Of course I’m fine.” Li Changshou looked a little impatient. “You and him are husband and wife. It’s appropriate for the two of you to discuss this matter. I didn’t lock you up here.

I just feel that Fellow Daoist’s mouth is an extremely important ability to the demons. Therefore, I take care of you. The immortals on Golden Ao Island are reasonable and they speak nicely. If your husband is not lying to you, you might obtain some benefits on Golden Ao Island. Don’t feel inferior because of your background as a demon. Although we demons are incompetent now, we have been glorious in ancient times.” The water demon could not help but feel uneasy. She whispered, “If he goes, I will not

go...”

“This is the matter between you two.” Li Changshou waved his hand. “I still have something to do. I won’t stay here for long. Such a small matter, hmph.” After saying that, Li Changshou rode a cloud and left. The water demon wanted to say something but hesitated. However, it could only bow and send him off.

After sighing softly, the water demon turned around and returned to the Cave Abode. He carried the black leopard to the bed and activated the array formation protecting the Cave Abode. Is the black leopard going to Golden Ao Island to visit a friend?

What kind of chain reaction would this cause to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

Li Changshou pondered for a while. He had a faint premonition that the black leopard would definitely be able to stir up the Primordial World if it moved.

However, he could take the opportunity to deal with Lu Ya...

Li Changshou’s thoughts kept expanding, and he gradually smiled.

Three days later, the black leopard really set off from the Cave Abode. It hid all the way to the East Ocean and headed towards Golden Ao Island at the edge of the East Ocean.

As soon as the black leopard moved, the Heavenly Courts sent a demonic declaration to the five continents to pursue Daoist Lu Ya. The reason was stated in the latter. It said that Daoist Lu Ya had a Dharma treasure that threatened the balance of the world and needed to capture Lu Ya as soon as possible...

Once the declaration was made, the human immortal sects of the Middle Continent reacted very little and almost ignored it.

Although the Heavenly Courts had already begun to rise, their influence and appeal were still lacking. They did not have the sub-child of the ruler of the Three Realms.

However, when the demons heard that, they first cursed at the Heavenly Courts and caught the main point. Daoist Lu Ya, a treasure that threatened the balance of the world!

How could that be?

Many experts of the demon race instantly felt pressure in their heads. The demons at the borders of the various continents were in high spirits. The ancient demons, who had just calmed down, came out of their mountains one after another and waited for the Crown Prince to raise his arm!

When the culprit received the news later, he was stunned.
