My Senior Brother is Too Steady

“Could it be that Jie School is really plotting this? From the perspective of benefits, Jie School indeed needed such treasures. However, the Grandmaster of Heaven was open and aboveboard. There was no reason for him to secretly do that.

According to the Grandmaster of Heaven’s personality, even if the snow lotus seed had to take root in the sea of blood, at most, ten thousand immortals would appear and create a huge array in the sea of blood.

With the current strength of Jie School, as long as the Saint does not attack, the Western Sect and Chan School will not be able to shake Jie School.”

“That’s right. There are indeed many suspicious points.” Li Changshou said, “In the ancient times, do you know who obtained the third lotus seed?”

Bai Ze subconsciously wanted to pinch his fingers to deduce. However, he immediately recalled that the heavenly secrets were blinded by the tribulation. He could only shake his head.

“I’ve never heard of such a thing. I wonder if there’s any news from Truth Listener.”

“Truth Listener can’t believe everything.”

Li Changshou hugged his arms and pondered for a while. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly exclaimed softly and looked outside the layers of barriers.

Hundreds of streams of light flew over from outside the hall. They turned into men and women wrapped in snow-white cloaks in front of the hall. They lowered their heads and rushed into the hall.

The footsteps were like raindrops falling on bananas. It was very pleasant.

These figures walked with strong footsteps and stable auras. Most of them were at the Perfected Immortal realm. The first few rows were all Heaven Immortals. There were a few Golden Immortals mixed in.

In the deepest part of the hall, a figure slowly flew over accompanied by a rain of flowers. Li Changshou looked at it and almost burned himself.

What?

Aunt-Master Jiu?

It has only been a few years since she became the Saintess of the Heaven Ascension Hall. I’ve been busy with the matters of the Immortal Alliance and only relied on the paper effigy to sense if the “living aura” in this place is normal. I did not take a closer look. Why...

She seems to have become a different person.

The situation changed!

Jiu Jiu’s light red inner garment on her upper body was still unable to bear the weight of her bosom. It was a huge sin, but it was much less jarring than before.

Her style of dressing had changed drastically. The short blouse and skirt that had remained the same for ten thousand years were gone. Her inner blouse was paired with a long skirt of the same color. Her fluffy skirt dragged out half a meter long behind her back...

Her slender waist could be held in one hand, but she conservatively used a long dress to cover more than half of it. Her jade feet were wrapped in a pair of thick boots that made up for the disadvantage of her height, making her figure more natural and less seductive.

Then, there was the light makeup on her face, her hair that was tied up high, her red lips that were still eye-catching despite being covered by a thin veil, her slender and fair neck, and her slightly drunken and lazy eyes...

Li Changshou really wanted to ask...

“With this Saintess, why would the Heaven Ascension Hall be worried about prosperity?’

The hem of her dress fluttered and the red veil fell. With a little immortal light, Jiu Jiu was already sitting on a soft couch. Hundreds of figures knelt on one knee below her...

A tired voice sounded from her lips and teeth, spreading throughout the hall.

“Is there anything important in the North Division?”

A middle-aged Daoist immediately stood up and bowed to report the daily matters of the Heaven Ascension Hall.

At the back, many young Daoists could not help but look up and sneak a glance at the beautiful figure on the throne. Then, they immediately lowered their heads, as if they would lose their eyes if they looked any longer.

Li Changshou praised, “This speed of growth is really amazing.”

Bai Ze nodded with a smile and said, “According to what the Water God said previously, we have already made various adjustments. We have completely built the Heaven Ascension Hall according to the method of the Righteous Immortal Sect. We have used the ideals of cultivation and rich cultivation resources to attract them to join the Heaven Ascension Hall. I was inspired by the Water God’s Heavenly Soldiers plan. We have also molded Saintess Jiu into the face of the Heaven Ascension Hall’s recruitment. The effect is indeed not bad!”

“Really?”

Li Changshou smiled and did not correct Bai Ze. He took a few more glances at Aunt-Master Jiu and was a little dazed.

He didn’t expect Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu to have so much room for improvement!

He could only complete a comprehensive improvement by restricting his own outstanding point. The Dao is natural.

Li Changshou really did not expect that he would be able to gain enlightenment from admiring the beautiful scenery of a fairy... “Mr. Bai, do you have an incarnation technique?”

Bai Ze smiled and said, “After walking in the Primordial World for so many years, how can I not have an incarnation mystical ability?”

“Leave an incarnation here and follow me around the sea of blood.”

“Alright.” Bai Ze agreed readily. He took a step to the side and left behind an afterimage.

The remnant shadow quickly condensed and transformed into Bai Ze’s appearance. Then, the incarnation and main body cupped their hands and bowed to Li Changshou.

“If I don’t distinguish carefully, I really can’t tell the difference between Mr. Bai’s incarnation and his main body.”

Li Changshou praised him symbolically. His body turned into a paper effigy and floated into the sleeve of Bai Ze’s incarnation. He continued to stay there.

Li Changshou reminded him again, “Mr. Bai, be careful on the way. Don’t rely too much on your mystical abilities.”

“Water God, don’t worry,” Bai Ze said warmly. “I will definitely rush back safely and try not to delay the matters of the five continents...”

After chatting with Bai Ze, he shifted his attention back to the Little Qiong Peak.

At that moment, Li Changshou was in the secret underground chamber. He lowered his head and looked at the bathtub that was no longer covered in immortal fog. He added some warmth to the water around him. He took a bath and quickly repaired his Dao Body that had been damaged by the Heavenly Punishment.

Regarding the matter regarding the red lotus, his teacher had asked him to “go” but did not tell him how far he wanted to “go”...

It’s always like this. Teacher really trusts me too much!

Whose scheme is it?

If the red lotus was not released by the Grandmaster of Heaven, my goal should be to destroy the red lotus or seize control of the red lotus.

This twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus was a treasure of the same grade as the twelfth-grade golden lotus of the Western Sect. They were on opposite sides and had the effect of suppressing the fate of the great sects.

In the Primordial World, such a precious treasure was extremely precious. Even if the four sects fought over it, Li Changshou could understand...

The treasures of the Primordial World had been around for a long time. In fact, it did not matter if it was the red lotus planted by the Grandmaster of Heaven.

The problem now was that after Jie School obtained the news, they would definitely want the red lotus to suppress the destiny of the sect.

On the other hand, Chan School did not want to see Jie School, which already had tens of thousands of immortals, and was too powerful, stabilize their destiny. In the future, Chan School would definitely face greater risks.

The conflict between Chan School and Jie School suddenly escalated because of a red lotus that someone had planted.

And this was the most obvious part of Zhun Ti’s plan...

The matter regarding Void Bodhi was just a casual mention. It would be best if it could be resolved. There was no additional loss if the Heavenly Courts did not agree.

In fact, he could even nurture Void Bodhi into a scapegoat of the Western Sect later and put the sins of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom under the name of Void Bodhi.

A Saint was a Saint. Even though he was on the verge of retreating, his attacks were still extraordinary.

Not to mention the Dao Realm or the shamelessness, he was still far from being a Saint.

“Then, what can I do?”

Whoosh-Whoosh — Li Changshou picked up the watermelon ladle and stirred up some warm water. He steamed his long hair that had returned to its original carefree state and sat in the wooden bucket to think.

Teacher should have asked me to interfere at the crucial moment and try my best to avoid the battle between Chan School and Jie School. Everything should be dragged to the Purple Cloud Palace for discussion.

Should I destroy this red lotus or keep it?

If this choice was placed in front of him, how should he choose?

Li Changshou carefully pondered and analyzed the various situations that would happen after the red lotus was destroyed or landed in the hands of other factions.

Personally, he hoped that Jie School could obtain the red lotus to suppress the destiny of the sect. When he saved the people he wanted to save in the future, he would have a higher chance of winning.

However, if Jie School obtained the red lotus, the one who would really suffer would be Chan School...

Just as Saint Zhun Ti had deliberately said in the Lingxiao Hall, there were indeed many ancient living beings who brought negative karma into the sect.

Back then, when the Grandmaster of Heaven was preaching on the various immortal islands overseas, there were a few evil and cunning people who took the opportunity to sneak into the place to listen to the Dao. They all considered themselves to be the disciples of the Saints. Their luck, negative karma, and merit were all attributed to the great luck of Jie School.

Now that the Great Tribulation had arrived, if Jie School could “simplify” a group of disciples, they might be in a better situation.

Unfortunately... there was a 99% chance that the Grandmaster of Heaven would not do something like that.

Find more helpers and fight later.

Hence, Li Changshou began to fly to the Nine Heavens and dive into the deep sea. He asked all the non-Dao Sect experts that he could invite.

Daoist Wen Jing was still a high-ranking member of the Western Sect. He could not mobilize her for the time being.

It was unknown what segment Big Sister Kong Xuan was in, so it was not appropriate for her to act rashly. Being able to look after the Seven Emotions reincarnations in the Shang Clan was already a huge help. Brother Niu from the Tushita Palace could invite him.

Well, that was if the Grand Supreme Elder did not go out recently and the green ox had a “schedule” recently.

Li Changshou went to look for Wu Gang, but Wu Gang could not leave the laurel tree too far because of his mission.

There was no need to consider Fairy Heng’e. At that moment, she was equivalent to being placed under house arrest by the Heavenly Dao. If she left the moon, the Heavenly Punishment should arrive immediately.

This was due to Senior Lang’s influence. There was indeed no choice.

As the only combat power that the Glacial Palace could use at any time, Little Jade Rabbit... could stick to dancing. It was better for her not to fight.

The dragon race was the only race in the Primordial World that Li Changshou could count on now.

Li Changshou activated a paper effigy hidden near the East Ocean Crystal Palace and transformed into the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. With his unique Dao runes, he used Water Escape to rush to the Crystal Palace.

Before they arrived at the palace, a few dragon elders sensed Li Changshou’s aura and took the initiative to welcome him.

The dragon race was naturally extremely grateful to Li Changshou.

Li Changshou had helped the dragon race use incense offerings to improve their luck until the Sea God period. He had helped the dragon race obtain the Deity Position and helped the dragon race submit to the Heavenly Courts step by step. He had also helped the dragon race suppress the East Ocean Sea Eye...

The entire dragon race was grateful to Li Changshou.

In fact, as long as the Water God spoke, a large number of young dragon ladies would be willing to be maidservants of the Water God Residence. They could have fun every night.

He walked past the ground paved with precious treasures and jade and arrived at the spacious and boring hall. Accompanied by the immortal music played by the sea maidens, the Dragon King of the East Ocean was already waiting below the platform.

The two gods met and bowed to each other.

The Dragon King invited Li Changshou to the platform. A sea maiden brought over a chair filled with treasures and placed it beside the Dragon King’s throne.

After exchanging some pleasantries, the Dragon King of the East Ocean said, “Water God, few people have come to the Dragon Palace!”

“The matters of the Heavenly Courts are busy. I still have to take care of the teachings of Ren School. I really can’t do anything. I can’t take the time.”

Li Changshou sighed and went straight to explaining his intentions.

For a moment, the Dragon King of the East Ocean looked troubled.

“Water God, don’t say that you are borrowing a group of experts. It’s fine even if you transfer all the experts of the Dragon Palace. However, you have to mediate the possible contradictions... The dragon race really can’t afford to offend the three sects of the Dao Sect. If one of them gets jealous, the dragon race will be in danger.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Dragon King. I used the name of the Heavenly Courts to transfer a group of experts from the dragon race. I’m standing in the Heavenly Courts, not the dragon race. Moreover, the Great Tribulation had just begun a few decades ago. The day when the Dao Ancestor summoned the six Saints to the Purple Cloud Palace was still far away. How wise and mighty were the Saints? How could they let the disciples of the two sects fight? Actually, it’s just a formality to strengthen the prestige of the Heavenly Courts and increase the Heavenly Courts’ authority on this matter.”

“This...”

The Dragon King of the East Ocean pondered for a while.

If Li Changshou had said that he would borrow troops to attack the spiritual mountain, the Dragon King would not have hesitated. However, when it came to the matters of the Dao Sect, the Dragon King really had many concerns.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean was also an old living being of the Primordial World. At that moment, he asked the crucial question.

“Water God, is the twelfth-grade red lotus going to be destroyed in the end?”

He was asking about the attitude of Ren School. Should he stand on the side of Chan School or Jie School?

Li Changshou said, “This matter needs to be analyzed in detail. I can’t give the Dragon King an accurate answer. However, as a disciple of the Dao Sect, I definitely don’t want to see the strength of the Dao Sect being damaged.”

“Alright.” The Dragon King of the East Ocean stroked his beard and pondered for a while. In the end, he agreed.

The first portion of strong reinforcements was decided!

Li Changshou would not just do that.

He went to the Netherworld in advance to discuss the matter regarding the Blood Lotus with a few Yama Lords. After obtaining the support of the Magi in the Netherworld, he recalled the Demon soldiers who had gone to the Three Thousand Worlds to play.

Of course, most importantly, he had successfully contacted the Great Daoist Master. With the Great Daoist Master’s permission, he would rush back to the five continents in time.

What happened next was a game and a scheme. Li Changshou sent the paper effigy into the sea of blood and began to investigate the situation in the sea of blood.

In less than half a day, he encountered two groups of experts from the Western Sect. However, Li Changshou had escaped far away and there was no conflict.

At that moment, the sea of blood was more lively than Li Changshou had expected.

After wandering aimlessly for three days, Li Changshou encountered countless experts and even captured many familiar auras.

For example, the Asura Clan, which had already received the news from the Western Sect and was getting excited, had sent out all their experts!

They almost wanted to turn the sea of blood over. They did not let go of any of them and frantically searched for the traces of the red lotus.

The experts of the Western Sect did not retreat. They continued to search everywhere. Their intention to “take advantage” was extremely obvious.

If they could not obtain the twelfth-grade red lotus, the Western Sect could claim that they had helped the Asura Clan with all their might and forced them to be grateful.

If he could obtain a twelfth-grade red lotus, he would naturally say, “This treasure is fated with the Western Sect.” The Asura Clan would be suppressed even more in the future.

Apart from that, there were already experts from Jie School paying attention to that place. It was the same for Chan School.

Li Changshou pondered for a long time. He could not determine which direction things would develop in.

He spent another five days and made the 100,000 elite troops of the Heavenly Courts, as well as the 300,000 ghost soldiers of the Netherworld, station themselves at the edge of the sea of blood.

A large number of experts from the dragon race and the Magi were mixed there.

He wanted to watch quietly.

A few days later, Bai Ze slowly flew over from the Netherworld’s horizon while stepping on the blue ripples and landed in the camp of the Heavenly Courts’ Netherworld alliance army.

When Li Changshou saw Bai Ze, his heart calmed down a lot. He informed the Golden-Winged Roc and the green ox that he had previously arranged to rush to the Blood Sea.

A real mount could cover half the sky!

He could not rely on Chan School and Jie School this time. He had to resolve it himself.

However, Li Changshou and Bai Ze had only spoken five sentences.

Screech

A loud cry suddenly sounded from the sky. Li Changshou smiled and introduced the new members of Ren School to Bai Ze. However, just as he spoke, he saw that there was no one beside him.

When he looked again, he saw that Bai Ze had already transformed into an auspicious beast. He walked over slowly from afar.

He wanted to personally defend the title of the number one mount of Ren School!

“The Netherworld has not been peaceful recently.”

In the Reincarnation Pagoda, the young Daoist stood in front of the window and looked at the sea of blood from afar.

Truth Listener, who was hiding in the corner, opened its eyes and said, “It’s all because of that red lotus. Something big is about to happen in the Netherworld.”

The young Daoist did not mind. He looked at the low horizon of the Netherworld in the distance.

“Truth Listener, how do you think the Water God will win this time?”

Truth Listener could not help but roll its eyes. “Do you still want to plot against the Water God? Master, can’t you stop?” “Hmph!”

The young Daoist flicked his sleeve. “I’m just a little puzzled. Everything outside this place has nothing to do with me. I’ll listen to you!” Truth Listener grimaced and continued closing its eyes. It monitored all the living beings in the Three Realms and the various parts of the sea of blood.

It was also looking for traces of the red lotus.

If he could find it first and sell a favor to the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, that would be a huge profit...
