Chapter 125 The Must-visit Scenic Spot Of The Immortal Du Sect
So Brother Sect Master, no, Brother Changshou, showed me mercy previously.
Ever since the first day of the Immortal Du Sect’s disciple competition, Ao Yi had that thought in his heart.
On the 16th day of the Immortal Du Sect’s disciple competition, the elimination battle where only 36 out of 108 cultivators would advance to the next round, was coming to an end.
Ao Yi had witnessed Li Changshou attack more than twenty times. After careful observation, he realized the “special” qualities that Li Changshou had.
Or rather, his extremely outstanding qualities.
The first thing was that his foundation was solid. Brother Changshou’s Dharma powers were extremely rich. When faced with some Qi Refinement cultivators who were at realms that were slightly higher than his, he could often rely on talisman array formations that consumed a lot of his Dharma powers to obtain victory during dangerous situations.
Secondly, Brother Changshou’s Earth Escape technique was more exquisite compared to that of other disciples of the Immortal Du Sect…
Although Ao Yi did not know the reason, he saw the smooth, natural yet mysterious Dao runes that his Brother Sect Master had when he entered the soil.
It was admirable and pleasing to the eyes! What he has is considered the actual Earth Escape technique. As for the other disciples of the Immortal Du Sect who used Earth Escape…
Tsk, those are probably just small tricks used for burrowing themselves underground. They lack the style of Brother Changshou.
There must be some reasons for Brother Changshou to be chosen as an assignee of merit by an expert, which I can’t see.
Over the past two days, Ao Yi felt a little helpless.
The Immortal Du Sect Competition was coming to an end. The following day should be the final ending and the day where they, the outsiders would leave.
Ao Yi chose to follow the others to the Immortal Du Sect because he wanted to find an opportunity to have a chat with Brother Changshou.
Although his cultivation had been smooth recently, he had encountered some setbacks in his personal relationships… They were all young dragons. Who didn’ have problems about love and hatred?
At that moment, Ao Yi did not know whether he would still have a chance to discuss the Dao with Brother Changshou during the journey to the Immortal Du Sect.
“Little Yi?”
An exclamation sounded in front.
Ao Yi immediately stopped his reverie and took two steps forward. He stood behind the thin Daoist and whispered, “Uncle-Master Qin, I’m here.”
The so-called Uncle-Master Qin was Qin Wan, a Qi Refinement cultivator from Golden Ao Island
He was the in-name disciple of the Saint, who was also known as the Grandmaster of Heaven. He had entered Golden Ao Island quite early. He had heard about the Dao from the Saint and had suffered a blow for his brother. He was famous among the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island.
Back then, the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School had walked out of the Jade Void Palace, made their debut in the Primordial World, and made their name known in the trichiliocosm. The Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island were unwilling to be outdone. Hence, they had also formed the ten Heavenly Lords.
Although their reputation did not rise, their auras were also weaker by a few levels, and their cultivation levels could not be compared to the twelve Golden Immortals… the ten Heavenly Lords were considered a rather famous and powerful group in Jie School!
Qin Wan was the leader of the ten Heavenly Lords.
He had a high cultivation level. He was good at alchemy and was skilled in creating array formations. He had a lot of friends and was quite famous in Jie School.
Qin Wan’s purpose for going to the Immortal Du Sect this time was to try and get along well with the other cultivators of Ren School, so as to show that the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island did not intend to target them.
How should I express the friendly and kind intentions of Golden Ao Island?
Qin Wan prepared some gifts for the top three disciples of the Immortal Du Sect.
However, Qin Wan felt that it was still insufficient.
Hence, Qin Wan greeted Ao Yi at the front and said warmly, “The internal sect competition is almost over. Didn’t you and Han Zhi say that you have some good friends here? Go and find your friends and ask them to come over. I’ll give them some pills.
I don’t want people to say that the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island are not polite enough.”
Ao Yi smiled slightly when he heard that. He said, “Uncle-Master, please wait a moment. I’ll go ask the executives of the Immortal Du Sect to bring them up…
Han Zhi, are you coming with me?”
Han Zhi, the young girl who was sitting on the chair, turned around and nodded while expressing assent smilingly.
Ao Yi wanted to ride on the same cloud as her, but Han Zhi took half a step back and gestured for Ao Yi to ride a cloud first while she followed beside him.
Ao Yi’s gaze turned a little gloomy as he and Han Zhi flew away from the jade platform one after another.
Qin Wan saw all that and shook his head with a smile. He did not say anything…
Young disciples just love to do useless things.
Ao Yi and Han Zhi successfully received the permission of the Immortal Du Sect’s Elder. They were accompanied by Jiu Wu, the executive who had served Ao Yi previously. They flew to the valley and found Li Changshou.
Ao Yi said, “Brother Changshou, my Uncle-Master Qin would like to see you!”
Li Changshou smiled.
If not for the fact that he had been using the Wind Speech Incantation to monitor his surroundings and thus knew that the Golden Immortal from Golden Ao Island wanted to give him some rewards, he would have thought that he had been exposed after hearing what Ao Yi said.
Li Changshou felt helpless.
Due to Lingle’s sudden breakthrough and the fact that her real cultivation level had accidentally been exposed, the duo from Little Qiong Peak had attracted a lot of attention.
Now that their “popularity” had finally died down, Ao Yi and Han Zhi got involved again…
The other disciples did not stop casting curious gazes for the past few days!
At that moment, he did not care about such trivial matters.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and deliberately asked, “Brother Yi, do you know why your Uncle-Master is asking to see me?”
“This…”
Ao Yi pondered for a while and said that the latter merely wanted to give Li Changshou some rewards.
Li Changshou found a rather appropriate excuse to reject the invitation. Then, he looked at his kind-hearted and naive Little Aunt-Master and Little Junior Sister who were at the side…
After a while, with the accompaniment of Jiu Wu, Han Zhi brought Ling’e and Jiu Jiu to Qin Wan to receive the rewards. Jiu Wu, who was at the side, had an awkward expression.
He thought, What’s wrong with Disciple-Nephew Changshou? He doesn’t even care about the rewards given by an old Golden Immortal…
A benevolent smile appeared on Qin Wan’s face. He took a few bottles of immortal pills and gave them to Lingle and Jiu Jiu. Then, he said a few words of encouragement to the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island to express their friendliness and kindness.
The three sects were a family.
Lingle and Jiu Jiu bowed in unison to thank him. When facing the strong, Jiu Jiu was much more disciplined.
After that, Qin Wan nodded with a smile. Jiu Wu immediately understood and left with the two of them.
“Han Zhi, why hasn’t Ao Yi returned?”
Han Zhi quickly replied, “Uncle-Grandmaster, Uncle-Master Ao Yi is chatting with his good friend Li Changshou. He will be back soon.
Li Changshou had yet to make his appearance in the arena today. He’s afraid that he would miss the battle by coming here.
Therefore, he did not come up together with the rest.”
Qin Wan nodded slowly. He scanned with his immortal senses and saw Ao Yi, who was chatting with a disciple from the Ren School. He did not look for long.
To Qin Wan, that was a small matter.
However, just as that thought surfaced in his mind, Qin Wan recalled something. He turned to look at Han Zhi, who was seated behind him.
He smiled and said, “I heard that you suffered a setback during a sparring session at the Immortal Du Sect, Little Yi. Who was that person you sparred with?”
Han Zhi said softly, “It’s Li Changshou.”
“Oh?” Qin Wan said, “Could it be that the two of them got closer after the sparring session?”
“Yes, that’s true.” Han Zhi smiled. “I always hear Uncle-Master Ao Yi mentioning some matters about Brother Changshou. Speaking of Brother Changshou, he’s quite a capable person. Although he has yet to become an immortal, he had set up small Chain Arrays. Even my master was trapped in one of them when he entered…”
Han Zhi’s expression turned a little glum.
Naturally, she thought of her “teacher” who had a sad life. She did not know which leopard’s den her “teacher” was currently in, and how he was running about to seek food…
Qin Wan consoled Han Zhi, and then pondered for a while, while his eyes were filled with excitement and interest.
He has yet to become an immortal, but the array formations that he set up, can trap a Heaven Immortal?
The Heavenly Lord Qin was also a capricious person who would do whatever he wanted.
He stood up and walked to the side. He said a few words to a Heaven Immortal Elder from the Immortal Du Sect.
The elder immediately reported the matter to the Sect Leader. Daoist Wuyou naturally agreed and made some arrangements.
However, just as Qin Wan took action, the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island, who had been bored for half a month, also stood up and indicated that they would go to Little Qiong Peak to watch and observe.
When they heard that the Immortal Du Sect had such an “amazing ground”, the experts from Ren School and a few disciples also showed some interest.
Hence… Li Changshou, who was talking about poetry and philosophy with Ao Yiyan, using the Wind Speech Incantation the entire time, heard that. His heart palpitated a little.
He reckoned that he would not be able to avoid that round today.
Could it be that the really famous Ten Heavenly Lords are also toxic!?!
As an established Golden Immortal of the Primordial World, why was he competing with a junior disciple today?
Could it be that he had some scheme? Li Changshou’s mind raced as Jiu Wu rushed over in the air.
Beside the jade platform, dozens of figures rode on the clouds and slowly walked towards the Little Qiong Peak.
On the slope of the valley, Jiu Wu grabbed Li Changshou’s arm and shouted, “There’s no time to explain. Hurry up and follow me. A group of seniors and experts are rushing towards your Chain Array!”
Li Changshou had a shocked expression and muttered in his heart.
If my Recovery Array gets exposed because of this, my karma with the ten Heavenly Lords would be formed.
“Uncle-Master, I still have to take part in technical fights…”
The short Daoist said anxiously, “You will win the last two rounds. After dealing with that side, you can make up for it when you come back! They are a few Golden Immortals and a group of Heaven Immortals! Perhaps you will become famous this time!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He cussed using uncouth language that was exclusive to Ren School.
At the same time, in the Nine-layered Celestial Palace above the Middle Continent, two children sat obediently in front of the Elder Moon Hall, and erected two wooden planks.
The words written on the left wooden plank read: “May the Heavenly Dao Protect This Place”
The one on the right read: “I went to participate in the court meeting.” It was the day of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall Court Meeting, which was held once every ten years in the Heavenly Courts. All the immortals and gods gathered at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, which was situated in the middle of the eighth layer of the Celestial Palace.
The Heavenly Courts itself was a Merit Dharma treasure. The Lingxiao Treasure Hall was the core of that Dharma treasure and had been refined by several Saints.
However, the place was magnificent and majestic. The ruler of the Three Realms, who was sitting on the pedestal in the hall, felt extremely awkward and helpless.
He was the master of the Three Realms in name. However, he was now just a Little Uncle-Master of a Dao Sect.
If the order was not passed down to the five continents, the laws would not be able to reach the four seas.
Only the Six Saints were known in the Major Chiliocosm. Very few people paid attention to the newly-established Heavenly Courts that had no presence.
In fact, Emperor Yu, the young man who was sitting on the pedestal and was dressed in a white robe, often mocked himself. He felt that he might as well go back and knock the bell for the old Dao Ancestor…
During the meeting on this day, the seat right in front of the immortals was empty. It was reserved for the Grand Supreme Elder. However, most of the time, the Saint’s corpse incarnate would not appear if nothing major happened. In addition, although the seats of the gods of the Heavenly Courts were mostly empty, all the other immortals and gods stood neatly in four rows.
He had to be mindful of the pride of the Heavenly Courts.
Elder Moon was a legitimate god who was in charge of marriage. Although his cultivation level was low, he was standing slightly ahead.
However, that old man never spoke easily and merely listened while he was at the side.
Like before, Elder Moon lowered his head and listened to the officials report about some trivial matters.
The Heavenly Courts’ political orders could not be transmitted to the Three Realms, which meant that they did not have much to do. Together with the “hardworking and focused emperor’, they put on a huge act and pretended to “do their best”.
However, the emperor on the throne was obviously not satisfied.
“Dear courtiers.”
The white-robed young man’s eyes drooped slightly. He looked at the jade slip in front of him and spoke calmly. His voice echoed in the hall.
“As General Dongmu has said, temples have been erected in an unruly manner in the five continents now. It is not the right to worship illegitimate gods. The fact that the Heavenly Courts now lack manpower, should not be taken lightly. However, I feel that it’d be inappropriate for me to recruit those illegitimate gods into the Heavenly Courts and make them legitimate. That would be an insult to the Heavenly Courts’ authority. Everyone, do you have any good ideas?”
