My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 498 - The White-Robed Jade Emperor

Chapter 498 The White-Robed Jade Emperor

Moreover, the Heavenly Courts were bustling with activity when Saint Zhun Ti appeared outside the Western Heavenly Gate.

The rays of light filled the sky and the immortal cranes flew. The Lingxiao Jade Pool trembled.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals hurriedly stood in formation. The immortals and G.o.ds of the various sects had plastic surgery. The White-Robed Jade Emperor frowned tightly. General Dongmu panicked. The few righteous G.o.ds said something, but they did not know if the Saint of the Western Sect had come to punish them or if he had other plans.

The Jade Emperor paced back and forth. He was in a daze. He turned his head and shouted,

“Quickly go and invite Minister Changgeng!”

General Dongmu received the order and rushed to the Water G.o.d Residence.

However, at that moment… “Phew…”

On the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The ends of his long hair were charred, and his Daoist robe had been destroyed. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black smoke.

He wanted a gla.s.s of wine and a cigarette. He sighed and felt lonely. He was young and did not understand the world. In his immortal senses, Elder Wan Linyun had successfully entered the Golden Immortal realm. At that moment, he was recuperating and gaining enlightenment. He should have gained quite a lot.

Elder Wan consumed a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. The process of transcending the tribulation was frightening but not dangerous. After all, he had almost been sucked in by Li Changshou.

Li Changshou had obtained the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in the Tus.h.i.+ta Palace previously. He had not used it with his junior sister.

From the looks of it, when Ling’e, Youqin Xuanya, Jiu Jiu, and the others underwent the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he would definitely have to help them. He would definitely be “whipped” by the Heavenly Dao. The future is painful.

However, what is the principle of this thing?

He was unreasonable! Could this be the best proof that the Dao Ancestor was not a.s.similated by the Heavenly Dao and could influence the Heavenly Dao?!

Although he was joking, he still had to make preparations in advance. Especially when Ling’e was about to transcend the tribulation, he would most likely be “tortured”.

It was time to speed up the progress of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. This time, after being struck by the Heavenly Punishment, Li Changshou could clearly sense that the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, which he had just mastered, had already displayed a good resistance to lightning.

If he mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, he could use it as a trump card.

If he could understand the last layer of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and reach the Nine-Nine Origin Realm, he could be a… core trump card.

It was said that the battle tactics of the Magi were left behind from the memories of the Great G.o.d Pangu’s bloodline. After Li Changshou came into contact with the mysterious technique that the Lady of Earth had organized, he completely believed the rumors.

It was really mysterious.

Counting the days, it was time for him to fetch the Seven Emotions Reincarnations and return them to the Heavenly Courts. There were also countries of Heaven and Man in the third heaven of the Heavenly Courts. It was enough for them to play around. Why not now…

“Water G.o.d! Changgeng! Aiyaya! Amazing!”

A shout suddenly sounded in his heart. Although it was a little blurry, he could tell that it was General Dongmu’s voice.

Li Changshou hurriedly placed his attention on the paper effigy in the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d Residence. He picked up his horsetail whisk, tidied his clothes, and rushed out of the study.

General Dongmu was pacing around anxiously outside the door. Li Changshou hurriedly asked what had happened. General Dongmu stomped his feet and shouted, “The Second Saint of the Western Sect is here. I’m afraid he has already entered the Western Heavenly Gate and is heading towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!”

When Li Changshou heard that… he immediately calmed down.

That’s it?

A moment ago, he had even engaged in a warm and intimate exchange with the Heavenly Dao. The cold Heavenly Punishment struck his face.

Now, the two Saints of the Western Sect had only come to look for him. Moreover, there was a high chance that they had personally come to pressure the Jade Emperor and asked the Heavenly Courts to cancel the arrest warrant for the Void Bodhi…

It was within expectations.

The other Saints could not bring themselves to come to the Heavenly Courts to negotiate with the Jade Emperor. However, Li Changshou had long predicted that before the Purple Cloud Palace discussed the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, the little Saint of the Western Sect would definitely come to the Heavenly Courts.

He would make the Jade Emperor confused.

“Let’s go,” Li Changshou said. “Let’s go to the Lingxiao Hall. General Dongmu, don’t be anxious. You have to be calm and composed as a member of the Heavenly Courts. We are also His Majesty’s pride.”

General Dongmu hurriedly agreed and rushed to the Lingxiao Hall with Li Changshou. Just as the two of them left on a cloud, another young Daoist walked out of the study.

It was naturally Li Changshou’s paper effigy.

Li Changshou looked at the Golden-Winged Roc that was occupying Ling Zhuzi’s room and cultivating in seclusion. He pondered for a while and decided not to bring it along.

The Sixth Saint could be shameless, but others could not take the initiative to fall.

At that moment, Li Changshou split up into two groups. The paper effigy of the Water G.o.d rushed to the Lingxiao Hall. The paper effigy, who looked like a young Daoist, rushed to find the Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Qin Tianzhu.

They arrived at the same time.

The Jade Emperor first looked at Li Changshou, who was in the Lingxiao Hall. The Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Qin Tianzhu, also looked at Li Changshou’s other paper effigy…

It was a little messy.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!” Li Changshou first shouted in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and sent a voice transmission to Qin Tianzhu. “Your Majesty, quickly follow me to the Jade Pool and secretly ask the Queen Mother to conceal the whereabouts of our two incarnations. I can’t send a voice transmission in front of the Saint. I’m here to plan for His Majesty. How can I let the Western Sect take advantage of me!?!”

“You have thought it through!”

Qin Tianzhu gave him a thumbs-up and hurriedly rode a cloud with Li Changshou to the edge of the Jade Pool.

Before the two incarnations arrived at the Jade Pool, golden light shone in the Lingxiao Hall. The thirty-feet-tall “statue” had already arrived in front of the Lingxiao Hall.

In the hall, Li Changshou looked at the Jade Emperor on the platform. The latter blinked and followed Li Changshou’s voice transmission. He pretended to be enthusiastic and turned around from behind the jade table.

The battle had already begun.

The statue of the Saint outside the hall deliberately filled the entrance speed.

The Jade Emperor seemed to be walking down quickly, but in fact, he had to step on the stairs to take the next step.

The immortals in the hall had already received the voice transmission from General Dongmu. At that moment, they only turned around and bowed to welcome him. They did not move.

The plan seemed small, but it was actually meaningful

If the Jade Emperor went out more than ten feet, he would give Zhun Ti more face. Today, the Jade Emperor was definitely not willing to give Zhun Ti the same “respect” as the Grand Supreme Elder.

The Grand Supreme Elder is my incarnation. He has been guarding the Heavenly Courts since the ancient times.

Zhun Ti was the Second Saint of the Western Sect. It was unknown if he was the Grand Supreme Elder’s match in the battle, but he did not contribute to the Heavenly Courts at all. Instead, he kept causing trouble.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor stood firmly on the second last step of the jade stairs. He pointed at the statue and smiled warmly. He placed his left hand behind his back and his right hand in front of his abdomen.

“Senior Brother, why didn’t you send someone to inform me in advance when you came to the Heavenly Courts? I could have made some preparations in advance.”

The 30-feet-tall statue formed by Zhun Ti was expressionless. Its voice sounded from the statue.

“How would I dare to be the Jade Emperor’s senior brother? My Western Sect is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Heavenly Courts.”

In the Lingxiao Hall, the immortals were silent.

No one expected that Saint Zhun Ti did not even make any small talk and directly attacked.

Many immortals could not help but use their immortal senses to investigate Li Changshou, who was beside General Dongmu. However, Li Changshou had his eyes closed and was calm. His Dao salute was shallow.

The silence lasted for a while. The Jade Emperor’s eyes flickered and he smiled.

“Since Sect Master Zhun Ti does not want to acknowledge the Purple Cloud Palace’s secondary Dao, I will not mention this matter anymore!” The face of the statue that was formed by Zhun Ti turned black. It looked at Li Changshou, who was standing there.

That sentence clearly had the style of the Water G.o.d. In just 28 words, it had reached the level of the “Western Sect’s Traitorous Dao Sect”.

Even Saints had to face it seriously.

Many immortals were secretly amazed…

The Jade Emperor had fought the Saint head-on!

It was really a situation that could be seen with time!

Saint Zhun Ti said again, “Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor, you have misunderstood. I did not mean that. However, the Jade Emperor values the Water G.o.d the most. He actually issued a wanted order to the disciples of the Western Sect. Does the Jade Emperor know about this?”

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and smiled. “So Sect Master Zhun Ti is here for that. I wonder if Sect Master Zhun Ti can reveal his true appearance… I have no other intentions. However, now that the great tribulation has arrived, the fate of the tribulation has blinded the heavenly secrets. I’m also worried that someone will be bold enough to pretend to be a Saint.”

Saint Zhun Ti’s statue fell silent for a while. Then, golden light flickered and converged.

The statue transformed into Saint Zhun Ti and was still sitting cross-legged on a cloud.

When the Saint revealed his true appearance, all kinds of auspicious signs appeared in the Lingxiao Hall.

The immortals with lower cultivation levels had a strong urge to kneel down after taking a few more glances at the Saint’s true appearance.

At that moment, the white-robed Jade Emperor, who was standing on the jade steps, chuckled. He exuded the dignity of a Heavenly Emperor.

The immortals who were frightened by the might of the Saints felt waves of dragon roars and tiger roars in their hearts. They instantly sobered up.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Since the Saint is here, you can’t be rude. Someone, move the chairs over. Please allow the Sect Master to take a seat.”

As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, General Dongmu immediately wanted to agree. However, Li Changshou arrived in front of General Dongmu and lowered his head.

“I accept your orders!”

General Dongmu hurriedly stopped, his honest eyes filled with confusion.

The Water G.o.d had even done the work of moving chairs and stools. In the Heavenly Courts, he, General Dongmu… could only handle the inventory of the treasure vault.

However, soon, General Dongmu realized that things were not that simple.

Li Changshou first ordered someone to bring two chairs over and personally placed them down. He placed one in front of the jade stairs and the other beside it. The latter was slightly closer to the front.

The Jade Emperor stood calmly in front of the seat in the middle and invited Saint Zhun Ti to take a seat with a smile.

Although the arrangement was simple, it was quite ingenious. It reflected the respect the Heavenly Courts had for the “saints” and also expressed the Jade Emperor’s “lack of feelings” towards the Saint.

Compared to the previous Immortal Peach Banquet where the Grand Supreme Elder rode the green ox and Li Changshou tied the green ox… ahem, that detail was not important.

At that time, the seat of the Grand Supreme Elder was at the back of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother’s thrones. It was vaguely located on the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother’s thrones.

That was true respect.

The expression of Saint Zhun Ti remained the same. He dispersed the auspicious clouds and floated three inches above the ground. He took a step out of thin air and walked to the Jade Emperor’s side and sat on the guest seat.

Just the few steps that the Saint had taken just now contained the truths of the Great Dao.

At that moment, General Dongmu finally understood.

It was indeed not something he could do today.

The Jade Emperor continued, “Changgeng, get someone to move the meditation cus.h.i.+on and short table over. Everyone, please take a seat. The pressure of Sect Master Zhun Ti is too strong. The cultivation level of the immortals and G.o.ds of the Heavenly Courts is not high. It’s difficult to resist. Don’t embarra.s.s yourself.”

“Yes,” Li Changshou agreed again. He immediately ordered the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to enter and bring over meditation cus.h.i.+ons and short tables to let the officials and generals in the hall take their seats.

After everything that had happened, many immortals gradually felt that the Saint… was not a Chaos Beast. He was not that terrifying.

In the eyes of the immortals and G.o.ds, the Water G.o.d, who had always been famous for his eloquence, was silent. However, the Jade Emperor began to speak calmly.

In fact, in a hidden corner of the Jade Pool, under the cover of the Queen Mother’s Dao runes, Qin Tianzhu and Li Changshou sat cross-legged in the corner of the wall. They sent voice transmissions and quickly communicated.

Not letting the Western Sect take advantage of them was the direction of their persistence.

Making the hundreds of schemes of the Saint Cundun fail was their relentless goal!

In the Lingxiao Hall, the White-Robed Jade Emperor said, “Sect Master Zhun Ti seemed to have mentioned your sect’s disciple, Xu Bodhi. Can Sect Master Zhun Ti explain in detail? It was Changgeng who gave the order first. I only found out about it yesterday.” Zhun Ti said, “The Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d actually has such authority. There’s no need for the Jade Emperor to know. He will convict the disciples of the great sects. The Jade Emperor seems to have lost control of the Three Realms.”

“Sect Master Zhun Ti, you might not know.” The Jade Emperor was not in a hurry. He smiled calmly and said, “I have long given Changgeng the right to act first and report later. This is the promise of the Heavenly Dao. It has the approval of the Heavenly Dao and the records of the Lingxiao Hall. Sect Master Zhun Ti spoke and accused me of being in charge of the Three Realms. I’m afraid that I might be interfering with the internal affairs of the Heavenly Courts.”

Zhun Ti continued, “As a Saint, can’t I ask about the matters of the Heavenly Courts?”

The Jade Emperor was not angry at all. He retracted his smile and said seriously, “The Heavenly Courts follow the Dao Ancestor’s orders and respect the six Saints.

However, the matters of the Heavenly Courts concerned the stability of the Three Realms and the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Although the Sect Master Zhun Ti was a Saint, he could not directly interfere with the matters of the Heavenly Courts. Did the Dao Ancestor forget that rule when he first arrived in the Heavenly Courts? If we lose fairness, how can the Heavenly Courts manage the Three Realms in the future?”

The pressure around Saint Zhun Ti became even stronger. “When the Jade Emperor says’ fairness’, he means that the Heavenly Courts’ Water G.o.d can send a great calamity to the disciples of my sect for no reason. Can he give orders to kill the disciples of my sect for no reason?”

“Sect Master Zhun Ti should know better than me what the Void Bodhi has done. Why is there no reason?”

The Jade Emperor looked at Li Changshou and said warmly, “Minister Changgeng, tell me about the sin of the Void Bodhi in detail. We can’t wrong a good spirit. We can’t let a sinful spirit off either. If there’s really a mistake, we have to repent. This is the Heavenly Courts.”

Li Changshou stood up and agreed. He bowed to the Saint and faced the immortals. He told them about the situation at the Immortal Union Meeting that day.

He also imitated the scene of the Void Bodhi guiding the mountains and rivers. His tone and expression could be said to be lifelike.

When Li Changshou explained what the Void Bodhi had said, many immortals and G.o.ds in the hall looked angry. However, they did not dare to say anything… Li Changshou turned around and said to the Jade Emperor, “Your Majesty, what I said just now is true.

The Heavenly Dao can testify. This Void Bodhi was full of greed. He wanted to incite the immortals from all over to defy the Heavenly Courts and become enemies with the Heavenly Courts. He even made irresponsible remarks, spouted nonsense, distorted right and wrong, and confused the truth! He publicly announced that the Heavenly Courts only wanted the destiny of the human race and wanted to kill countless immortals.

They also do not have any regrets about building their own Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and harming all living beings! I endured for a long time and did not kill his incarnation directly.

Instead, on account that he was a disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, I asked him to finish speaking before refuting each of them. I rendered him speechless in front of tens of thousands of immortals. That was why he was given an unforgivable sin! Actually, Your Majesty, when I was measuring his sins, I left some leeway. I knew that he was a disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, so I did not kill him. I never expected that after Void Bodhi returned to the spiritual mountain, it actually dared to stir up trouble and bewitch Sect Master Zhun Ti…

Sect Master Zhun Ti. Why don’t you just bring the Void Bodhi here and put righteousness before family? Not only will the Western Sect be rewarded by the Heavenly Courts, but it can also increase the luck of the Western Sect!”

After saying that, Li Changshou bowed to the Jade Emperor and calmly sat beside General Dongmu.

However, Zhun Ti said, “Disciple-Nephew Changgeng has always been known for being cautious. Why did you do such a foolish thing today? The incarnation that appeared that day, can you verify his ident.i.ty? How do you know that he is the Void Bodhi? Over the years, the Void Bodhi has been cultivating in seclusion in the spiritual mountain. He doesn’t know anything about what you said, but he has been cursed for no reason.’

The smile that the Jade Emperor was about to reveal froze. He looked at Li Changshou in shock, but he quickly changed his expression.

Li Changshou smiled and took a deep breath.

He really took the bait…

It’s not like Saints can’t be fooled.

A moment ago, Li Changshou had schemed a little with the Jade Emperor. He wanted the Jade Emperor to take the initiative to speak and use the excuse of “verifying the truth” to force the Saint to walk out of the statue and plant a “hint” in advance.

Then, when he mentioned the Void Bodhi, Li Changshou tried his best to answer perfectly and completely, blocking all the paths…

He did not expect that Saint Zhun Ti would really take the bait and use the element of ‘verification’ to organize a counterattack that seemed to be unsolvable.

Did the Saint fall into my script?

In that case, Li Changshou would not be polite and turn the tables on the Western Sect…

At this moment!

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”

“Don’t scare me! I haven’t given birth to your children!”

He suddenly felt a little noisy.

Li Changshou naturally knew that Ling’e, who had returned from Pill Tripod Peak, had arrived in front of the Pill Chamber.

Although he was currently using the paper effigy to face the might of a Saint and had many treasures to protect his main body, how could Li Changshou not pay attention to his main body?

At that moment, Li Changshou sighed softly in the Lingxiao Hall and deliberately delayed some time.

His main body opened his eyes on the rocking chair of the Little Qiong Peak. He raised his hand and knocked Ling’e’s forehead, who was pretending to cry. He chided, “Don’t shout. I’m fine. I’m busy quarreling with someone.”

Ling’e smiled happily and licked her lips. She asked softly, “Who are you arguing with?”

A Saint.

Of course, he could not say that. He had to be steady. “A… troublesome old man.”
