My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 511 Shock! The Saint of Jie School and the Heavenly Courts’ Water God...

At the edge of the five continents of the Primordial World, a golden light streaked across slowly and flew towards Golden Ao Island. Where is the Green Touring Palace? Li Changshou naturally did not know. However, he could not get lost while following the three eldest disciples of Jie School.

Along the way, Bai Ze, Zhao Gongming, and Daoist Duobao were chatting happily. Most of them were discussing the skills of the Great God of War. Mr. Bai seemed to have completely forgotten that there was a hidden team in the Primordial World that he needed to lead.

He looked at Fairy Yun Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged five feet away. Her thin skirt was scattered around her. She held a book and lowered her head to read.

He wanted to conceal his embarrassment.

When he arrived near Golden Ao Island, Daoist Duobao stood up and took two steps on the Golden Roc’s back. When he arrived in front of Li Changshou, he waved his sleeve and threw out a seven-colored glow, opening a door in the world. Golden light bloomed in the Cloud Palace, and the immortals shone brightly. The golden roc spread its wings and flew into the door. The universe around it trembled slightly. It entered a small world that was created by a Saint. It was quite similar to Goddess Nuwa’s Goddess of Mercy Palace. However, the Dao runes circulating in the place were sharp, resonating, and contained an unyielding and upward will. They were rather dazzling.

Fairy Yun Xiao put away the scroll in her hand and stood up. She reminded Li Changshou gently, “When you see my master later, don’t be too polite. Otherwise, Master will not like it.”

“Alright.” Li Changshou nodded and agreed. However, he smiled in his heart.

Could it be that I have to be like the Grandmaster of Heaven’s brother and son-in-law at the same time?

That would be too fluctuating.

He still had to follow the most basic etiquette of a junior.

At the very least, he had to show respect to the Saint.

The Golden-Winged Roc passed through layers of clouds and pavilions. He also alarmed the immortals of Jie School who had returned first. Streams of light flew towards the Green Touring Palace’s main hall and stood in front of it.

Li Changshou raised the Taiji Painting with his left hand. The red lotus slowly overflowed from the Taiji Painting and turned into the size of a palm. It slowly rotated. Previously, there was a detail.

When Chi Jingzi and more than twenty experts from the two sects rushed into the ruined hall of the Asura Ancient City, Li Changshou immediately burned his paper effigy and did not participate in the subsequent matters.

Why was that so?

It was because of a troublesome problem. At that time, Patriarch Nether River’s remnant soul and the twelfth-grade red lotus were already under his control. Should he continue to let the red lotus absorb the negative karma of the sea of blood and let the twelfth-grade red lotus reach the true perfection and recover to its peak, or should he immediately seal it and not leave any future troubles?

That question involved the battle between Chan and Jie Schools. Li Changshou really could not deal with it. He could only watch from the side.

He had already done enough back then. Regardless of whether it was Chan School or Jie School, he did not owe them anything or was biased. He had done what a disciple of the Dao Sect and a disciple of Ren School should do. In the end, the immortals of the two sects sealed the twelfth-grade red lotus together and severed its connection with the sea of blood. In the end, it was less powerful than the twelfth-grade red lotus in the ancient times...

Li Changshou could only pretend that he did not know about that. After offering the red lotus to the Grandmaster of Heaven, he left. When they arrived at the Green Touring Palace, the few Goddesses brought the immortals of Jie School to thank them. Li Changshou and Bai Ze returned the greeting Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao, who had specially rushed over to wait, looked at Li Changshou with glowing eyes.

This future brother-in-law of mine is really impressive! Daoist Duobao laughed loudly. “Master! Changgeng sent the red lotus over!”

A chuckle sounded from the hall. The Grandmaster of Heaven’s figure gradually condensed from the clouds.

Li Changshou bowed to the immortals of Jie School in front of the hall and glanced at a middle-aged Daoist with long ears and a kind face in the corner. That person was the biggest traitor of Jie School, Immortal Ding Guang. “Brother-in-law!”

Qiong Xiao suddenly shouted, “Since you’re already in Green Touring Palace, change this old man’s appearance!” Yun Xiao looked over when she heard that. Qiong Xiao hurriedly shut up, cringed, and moved her feet to hide behind Zhao Gongming. The entire process was completed in one go.

Zhao Gongming calmly stroked his beard and smiled... He took a step to the side and revealed Qiong Xiao. Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Jie School, was extremely righteous! He could not be stopped.

Yun Xiao was about to reprimand her when Li Changshou beat her to it. He smiled and said, “This body is just a shell. If Fairy wants to see it, why not?”

At that moment, Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk with his right hand. His white hair gradually turned black, and his face turned 70% similar to his own appearance. His body also stood up 30%, and there were a few stars hidden in his eyes.

When Li Changshou stood beside Fairy Yun Xiao again, he really looked compatible with her and others would praise them. The Goddess of Golden Spirit chuckled and urged, “Quickly go in. Don’t let Master wait for long.” Li Changshou entered the hall and held the red lotus with both hands. With Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao accompanying him, he greeted the Sect Master of Jie School, the Grandmaster of Heaven. Bai Ze did not enter and waited outside with the Golden-Winged Roc.

In the hall, the Grandmaster of Heaven was sitting upright on the throne on the platform. After all, this was Li Changshou’s first visit. He had to be dignified.

It was one thing to fool around, but the Saint was not joking.

“Greetings, Uncle-Master!”

“Hahahahaha!”

The Grandmaster of Heaven’s tensed expression immediately eased up. He raised his head and laughed. He raised his hand and wanted to support his beard, but he realized that he did not have a beard. He adjusted the collar of his robe. The young Daoist who looked the same age as Li Changshou immediately stood up and said loudly, “Disciple-Nephew Changgeng, this time, you are in the Reincarnation Pagoda to make a pact not to fight for the Dao Sect. In the sea of blood, you tried your best to stop the Nether River from reviving. You were the first to resolve the problem of the Sea Serpent Qi and save the Dao Sect’s face. Now, you have sent the red lotus to my Green Touring Palace to suppress the destiny of Jie School! Disciple-Nephew Changgeng, do you have any rewards that you want? I will not be stingy with you!”

As he spoke, the Grandmaster of Heaven especially looked at Fairy Yun Xiao. When he saw that her expression was normal, his smile widened. Li Changshou did not look up and only smiled.

“I’m just following Teacher’s orders. I don’t dare to ask for a reward, before I came here, I first went to the Grand Pure One Temple to pay my respects to Teacher. Then, I went to the small courtyard behind the Jade Void Palace to pay my respects to Second Uncle-Master and ask about the red lotus. Second Uncle-Master specially instructed me to send the red lotus to the Jade Void Palace for Jie School to suppress the teachings!” “Oh?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven said warmly, “Second Senior Brother, are you serious?” “I will not dare to lie in front of the Saint.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, the Purple Cloud Palace is discussing the Great Tribulation. Teacher does not want to see the Dao Sect being taken advantage of by the outer sect and reminded me many times. Second Uncle-Master had also mentioned this matter when she was lecturing me previously... Uncle-Master, what do you mean?” “Hahaha! Changgeng, do you want me to say something?” The Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and placed his hands behind his back. He walked down leisurely and smiled.

“In the future, just say it directly. If you beat around the bush, I will not understand. Among the three Sect Masters of the Dao Sect, I’m the youngest. I naturally follow my two senior brothers. Second Senior Brother and I are not on good terms, but we are fighting and scolding each other behind closed doors. If anyone wants to smash the door, they will naturally beat the person outside first.”

“In that case, I can rest assured and reply to Teacher.”

Li Changshou pushed the red lotus forward gently. The Taiji Painting retracted its Yin-Yang aura and returned to Li Changshou’s palm. The Grandmaster of Heaven waved his right hand, and the restrictions on the red lotus were removed layer by layer. Light floated around. Suddenly, the red lotus erupted with a rich sanguine glow. A shadow appeared in front of the Grandmaster of Heaven and frowned at him.

It was Patriarch Nether River! At that moment, Patriarch Nether River said firmly, “Fellow Daoist Tongtian, do you really not care about the relationship between the ancient living beings and want to take it by force? Ask yourself, do we still have karma?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven frowned slightly and hesitated.

At that moment, Fairy Yun Xiao took a step forward. Two rays of golden light shone from the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice in her hand and struck the back of the Nether River Patriarch’s remnant soul.

The remnant soul’s time was sealed. The image of Patriarch Nether River turned into three inches long and floated in the middle of the red lotus.

Fairy Yun Xiao said softly, “Master, the great calamity is at hand.”

At the side, the Goddess of Golden Spirit pulled out a sword made of white jade and was about to slash the image on the red lotus.

Li Changshou immediately reminded, “It’s better for Uncle-Master to take action. This red lotus has already merged with the remnant soul of Patriarch Nether River.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven pondered for a while and hugged his arms.

“The Nether River is right. There is no karma between us... It’s not appropriate to destroy his remnant soul and snatch his treasures.”

If others were in Li Changshou’s current position, they might have taken out the logic of “Patriarch Nether River is a great villain” and “Patriarch Nether River is an existence that the Heavenly Dao does not tolerate.”

However, Li Changshou would not do that. The teachings of Jie School were to obtain a chance of survival for living beings. Why did he have to intercept a chance of survival?

It could be understood that the Heavenly Dao was restraining, controlling, and determining the destiny of living beings. The teachings of Jie School were filled with the colors of “fighting with the heavens.”

Among the Saints, the Grandmaster of Heaven should be the one who did not care about the Heavenly Dao the most. A few ideas surfaced in Li Changshou’s mind. He found the most appropriate one and smiled.

“Uncle-Master, pardon me while I remind you. Patriarch Nether River understands your upright personality and deliberately said that in order to survive. If he said that there was no karma, how could there be no karma? Let me ask, Uncle-Master, do you have a red lotus seed in your hand?”

“That’s right. I actually have one.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven’s left hand swayed slightly. A shriveled lotus seed appeared in his palm. He smiled and said, “A long time ago, when I was searching for the Chaos Bell in the Chaos Sea, I encountered an ancient enemy and killed him. I obtained it from him... Eh? Why are the lotus seeds deflated?”

The immortals from Jie School were speechless.

Did you not pay attention to this matter before?! The famous painting of the Primordial World, “I Want to Change a Saint’s Master”, shone brightly. Li Changshou no longer had any doubts. Many conspiracy theories were unresolved.

He continued, “According to what I know, there are a total of three red lotus seeds. One is in the hands of the Second Sect Master of the Western Sect. It was previously revealed in the Heavenly Courts. One is in your hand. The other one had already been planted in the sea of blood and turned into the red lotus. According to my previous observations, four ferocious disciples who were mixed in the Chaos Sea were assisting Patriarch Nether River. Uncle-Master, can you let the Heavenly Courts’ Golden Roc Marshal enter?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven agreed. “Alright.”

After receiving Li Changshou’s voice transmission, the Golden-Winged Roc transformed into a human and grabbed a black spear out of thin air. It held the spear with both hands and bowed to the Grandmaster of Heaven. Li Changshou said, “Golden Roc, tell me about the demon that you killed that day.”

“Okay!”

The Golden-Winged Roc said firmly, “When that demon was on the verge of death, he begged me to spare his life. He claimed to be the son of an ancient Demon General!” The Goddess of Turtle Spirit said crisply, “Master, I was also helping from the side. When the demon begged for mercy, he indeed shouted like that. There were two other ferocious beasts that had helped Patriarch Nether River that day. One of them seemed to be a Taotie that had appeared in the ancient times and swallowed the mystical ability that his disciple had used. Unfortunately, they escaped during the chaos.”

At that point, the Goddess of Turtle Spirit was a little disappointed.

Li Changshou continued, “He’s the son of the Demon General, the ferocious beast Taotie, and he just happened to be revived when the Great Tribulation descended... That is enough to confirm that the matter was arranged by Patriarch Nether River in ancient times. The Great Tribulation is targeting our Dao Sect. Didn’t Patriarch Nether River choose this time to cause chaos because he schemed against the Dao Sect? Moreover, it was precisely because he had gone against the rules and was unwilling to disappear that he had forcefully resurrected with the red lotus, causing the two sects of the Chan School to fight over it. Wasn’t that karma? In my opinion, the karma is huge.”

“Hahahaha!”

The Grandmaster of Heaven’s laughter was rather hearty. He praised, “You really are something, Changgeng. You can even bypass this. Forget it, forget it. The sect’s fate is the most important. My disciples’ lives are the most important. I’ll go against my intentions. Bring the Qingping Sword.” With a clear sword chime, a crack appeared in the universe. A sheathed sword landed in the Grandmaster of Heaven’s palm.

The strongest young Daoist in the Primordial World unsheathed his sword and faced the red lotus.

Li Changshou and the disciples of Jie School held their breaths and watched carefully. They did not even want to blink.

Suddenly, a sword beam flashed and streaked across the red lotus. The truths of the world contained in it made Li Changshou’s Dao heart tremble! With a sword hum, the Qingping Sword disappeared from the Grandmaster of Heaven’s hand. The red lotus did not move at all. However, the remnant soul of Patriarch Nether River was rapidly weakening. It was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment.

However, it did not go out in the end.

Daoist Duobao frowned and said, “Master, can’t we sever the connection between Patriarch Nether River’s remnant soul and the red lotus?”

The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed and said, “I knew the moment I attacked. If I destroy the remnant soul, the red lotus will definitely collapse.”

The surrounding immortals were immediately disappointed.

He had been busy for more than half a month. He did not expect such an outcome.

However, the Grandmaster of Heaven smiled and said, “Don’t put on a long face. You should have everything in your life. This lotus flower was originally obtained by Changgeng. Without this lotus flower, will our Jie School fall? In that case, Duobao, bring your junior brothers and sisters here and think about whether there is a way to crack it. Changgeng, follow me around?”

Although Li Changshou was a little puzzled, he immediately lowered his head and bowed. “Yes.”

“Master,” Yun Xiao asked gently, “Can I follow you?”

“No.” The Grandmaster of Heaven waved his hand. “We want to have a conversation between men. It’s not convenient for you as a woman to listen.”

Yun Xiao pursed her lips and bowed. “Yes.” Sensing the worry in Fairy Yun Xiao’s eyes, Li Changshou began to feel nervous... Some time passed.

Li Changshou had actually thought that when he came to the Green Touring Palace, the Grandmaster of Heaven might drink tea with him. If he was braver, he could imagine drinking and chatting with the Grandmaster of Heaven.

However...

This!

Crash...

In the northwest corner of the small world where the Jade Void Palace was, on the top of an immortal mountain that was enshrouded in immortal Qi, there was a thirty-feet square hot spring pool. The Sect Master sat in the pool and looked at Li Changshou, who was standing by the pool and did not dare to come down.

“Why? I invited you to take a bath. Aren’t you going to do it on my account?”

Li Changshou felt a headache coming on. He bowed and took off his long robe, boots, and short-sleeved shirt. He folded his clothes into a piece of tofu and placed it at the side. In the corner furthest away from the Grandmaster of Heaven, he slowly walked into the pool... The Grandmaster of Heaven frowned and said, “Do you like to wear clothes while bathing?”. Li Changshou blushed for some reason. Accompanied by the increasingly arrogant laughter of the Taiji Painting, the Pagoda Master, and Brother Chi, he could only take off his clothes...

“Not bad, not bad.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven squinted and smiled. He hugged his arms and said calmly, “Treat my disciple Yun Xiao well in the future. I won’t ask too much about your matters lest Yun Xiao comes to teach again.”

“Ah, yes, definitely...” Li Changshou agreed and summoned some white fog to wrap himself up like the Grandmaster of Heaven. The Grandmaster of Heaven asked, “What did your Second Uncle-Master say to you?”

“This...”

“Did he say that there are too many disciples of Jie School and that he despises them?”

Li Changshou said, “Almost.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed and condensed a towel out of thin air. He wet it and placed it on his forehead.

The Sect Master leaned back and placed his elbows on the side of the pool to make himself more comfortable. He closed his eyes and muttered, “I haven’t said enough after so many years. If he hadn’t chanted the incantation so hard back then, I wouldn’t have gotten angry with him and spread the Dao everywhere...” Li Changshou asked in confusion, “Uncle-Master, you don’t have any treasures that are suitable for suppressing the light from providence. The Great Tribulation is also a predetermined law of the Heavenly Dao. Why did you...” “Isn’t that just in a fit of anger? Later on, I realized that I had imparted too much of the Dao. I gave up on myself and thought that I could rely on more people to survive the Great Tribulation.” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The Grandmaster of Heaven sighed and said, “When the great calamity comes, my disciples will probably be involved. Even if I order them to cultivate in the mountain, the calamity will force them to go out to deal with the calamity. They kept calling me Master. Many of them were watching them cultivate step by step until now. I can’t bear to see them face the tribulation like this. Changgeng, do you have a way to deal with that red lotus? It’s not bad if you can only protect a few of them.” Li Changshou pondered for a while. Although he was touched by the Grandmaster of Heaven’s words, he ultimately decided...

He had to be steady.

“I actually have a method, but I’m only 30%, no, 10% confident.”
