My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 709 - The Great Tribulation Breaks the Path!

Chapter 709: The Great Tribulation Breaks the Path!

Li Changshou stood quietly outside for a while and returned to the Middle Heavenly Gate.

His brother had gone to drink. Next, it was up to him, an ordinary minister of the Heavenly Courts, to clean up the mess.

He actually did not have to care about placing the twenty-four heavens. As long as he pushed the twenty-four heavens to the vicinity of the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Courts’ array formation would automatically open and “swallow” the empty twenty-four heavens.

After a few hours of exquisite effects of the Immortal Light Chaos Drop, the Heavenly Courts became thicker and wider.

]With the Nine Heavens Imperial Court as the main body, there were three additional regions in each of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. The highest Nine Heavens remained unchanged. It was called the Tranquil Sky and was where the Grand Pure One was.

When the 33 Heavens appeared, the Heavenly Dao was almost perfect. Its effect was only inferior to the return of the righteous G.o.ds of the heavens.

The Heavenly Dao had completely suppressed the five Saints. As long as the Heavenly Dao was willing, it could restrain the four of the five Saints and push the Heavenly Courts to be the only foundation of order in the Three Realms.

Of course, according to Li Changshou’s deduction, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun might not consider overly intense methods.

Everything could be changed silently. He could use the least methods to obtain the greatest benefits.

Now, there were already deep conflicts between Saints. There were really too many things that the Heavenly Dao could control.

As for Li Changshou himself…

Li Changshou watched the changes in the Eighth Heaven and slowly rode a cloud towards the Lingxiao Hall.

Previously, many immortal G.o.ds had consciously “happened to pa.s.s by”. They came over to make small talk and greet him. They wanted to be familiar with him.

Before today, the words Taibai Jinxing represented power, authority, and the peak of civil officials.

However, from today onwards…

That was the strongest combat power of the Heavenly Courts at this stage!

The senior brother of the Saint-killing Heavenly Courts’ minister, the favorite disciple of the Grand Pure One, Fairy Yun Xiao, who had appointed his husband—Li Changgeng!

Li Changshou did not feel much about that.

It was just killing a Saint. What was there to be surprised about?

That was just a necessary path to the final destination.

However, it was much earlier, allowing the Heavenly Dao to escape the restrictions of the six Saints system in advance.

Then?

What could the Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor do?

They still continued to push for the Great Tribulation and followed the script that they had set their minds on. Step by step, they locked the clamor of living beings in the past.

The clouds in front of him filled the sky. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals lowered their heads and bowed. Their eyes were filled with reverence.

Li Changshou rode a cloud with his hands behind his back and smiled.

He had to admit that he had borrowed Brother Gongming’s emotions previously. His anger had not reached the critical point because of the suppression and dissolution of his clear Dao heart.

That was also a flaw in his personality. Li Changshou had long known about it and had thought of a way to overcome it.

When he thought about his brother, everything was actually part of his plan.

One of the reasons for killing Randeng was for Zhao Gongming.

He had taken Randeng’s weakened Cosmic Ruler to help Zhao Gongming evolve the twenty-fourth cycle.

Sometimes, people would fall into a limitation of their thoughts. They would feel that they would face immense resistance if they took a step forward.

At that moment, there was no harm in turning around. The resistance became the driving force.

The matter between Zhao Gongming and Jin Ling had come to an end.

Li Changshou quietly sorted out the line that he had walked along and thought about what was lacking.

In the beginning, Li Changshou felt that as long as he found the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, he would be able to save Zhao Gongming from the death tribulation. At that time, he could not think too deeply. His vision was limited.

Later on, as his understanding of the Heavenly Dao gradually deepened, Li Changshou began to realize that Brother Zhao was almost at a dead end. There was no solution.

Firstly, he had a wide network and was extremely righteous in Jie School.

Moreover, it was the sworn marriage between Qing Feng and the three immortal clouds. Moreover, the siblings had a deep relations.h.i.+p. Zhao Gongming’s accident represented half of the eight disciples of Jie School.

More importantly, Zhao Gongming’s Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was an important tool to complete the Heavenly Courts and the Heavenly Dao.

A long time ago, Brother Zhao was in danger. He wandered around the world.

Li Changshou wanted to save Brother Zhao to a certain extent to prevent the Three Xiao Immortals from entering the calamity. To a certain extent, he felt that his brother was not bad and that it was not worth it to die on the rankings.

Therefore, he had almost s.n.a.t.c.hed the Copper Coin of Treasurefall from Randeng.

Therefore, he schemed against the Cosmic Ruler in Randeng’s hand and secretly gave it to Zhao Gongming through the back door.

Therefore, Li Changshou had long prepared the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi. After using the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi to steal many insights of the Heavenly Dao, he used the purple Qi as a waste and became the key to Brother Zhao’s Dao Integration.

What changes did I undergo during this process?

In fact, it was very simple. He gradually gave up all his fantasies about the Heavenly Dao.

Taking away the Copper Coin of Treasurefall and killing Old Daoist Randeng was actually just a form of denial. It did not resolve the problem.

Li Changshou had been troubled by that matter a few years ago, especially when Zhao Gongming and Jin Ling got married. Li Changshou was even more depressed.

The more important Zhao Gongming was in Jie School, the greater the danger of being burned by the Heavenly Dao as a fuse.

At that time, Li Changshou pondered for a long time in the straw hut.

After deducing every path, it would be a death tribulation.

Every step forward was filled with resistance.

There were too many things to consider. It was almost impossible to complete the extreme reversal of the Dao Ancestor in the game rules set by the Dao Ancestor.

At that time, there were not many flashes of inspiration. Instead, according to his rules, after determining that all the positive thoughts would not work, he switched to the second state.

It was the opposite.

From the left to the right, the Taiji Painting on the chessboard seemed to occupy Yin and Yang, black and white respectively. However, what was the essential difference between the two?

The black, white, and Yin-Yang were not defined by humans. The Taiji Painting was essentially just stating a principle.

Yin and Yang mutually suppress each other. They can destroy each other and create all living beings.

The Dao existed in one, acted in two, and hid in three.

At that moment, Li Changshou was enlightened. Thoughts surfaced in his heart, and they quickly became a plan.

Previously, he had subconsciously placed the Heavenly Dao on the opposite side of him. He kept thinking that he could not benefit the Heavenly Dao. However, on careful thought, it was meaningless to persist.

Let Zhao Gongming become the Heavenly Dao!

Let Brother Zhao become an existence at the front of the Heavenly Dao sequence and obtain a portion of the Heavenly Dao authority!

He would let the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor benefit directly. In exchange for Zhao Gongming’s own survival, his chances of winning against the Heavenly Dao would not be affected. Instead, he would plant a dark bolt of lightning in the Heavenly Dao.

Li Changshou had set that direction at that time and did not formulate a detailed plan. He only prepared some backup plans.

What was truly uncontrollable was that Yang Jian had spared Jin Guang, who had been forced to commit suicide.

At that moment, Li Changshou had the urge to kill a Saint.

It was part of the plan for Zhao Gongming to evolve the twenty-four heavens. However, it was purely a beautiful accident.

Li Changshou chuckled and dispersed the joy.

He would reboot his clear Dao heart and maintain his sage-like state. He would gradually a.n.a.lyze the current situation and the effects of Zhun Ti’s death on his subsequent plans.

Before entering the Lingxiao Hall, in the deepest part of Li Changshou’s Dao heart, the stone tablet was summoned by the essence soul. It crossed out the word “five” and wrote “seven”.

He had a 70% chance of winning the Heaven Punishment.

It was not enough. It was far from enough. It was even in a more dangerous position.

In his previous life, he had watched many compet.i.tions that were overturned.

The following Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation should have lost its original trajectory.

Later, he would order in the name of the Heavenly Courts’ G.o.d of Power to investigate the Qi Refinement cultivators who had interfered with the changes in the mortal kings of the South Continent.

The Battle between Shang and Zhou of the South Continent was the stage for the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation. This had always been a rumor and was also a tacit “unspoken rule”.

The Heavenly Courts had never admitted it directly. Moreover, the Heavenly Courts had a heavenly rule that Qi Refinement cultivators could not interfere with the mortal world.

Li Changshou had been holding onto the chess piece uselessly. At that moment, he could use it to divert the Heavenly Dao’s attention and safely survive the dangerous period.

He only gave the order to investigate thoroughly. He did not really investigate or capture anyone. He could advance and retreat freely.

“Changgeng! Hahahaha! Quick, quick!”

In front of him, the White-Robed Jade Emperor on the platform laughed loudly. He closed the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and laughed at Li Changshou.

This Zhun Ti could be considered to have been ‘popular’.

“Hey, Changgeng, how does the Saint feel when he fights?”

“It’s not bad. It’s just a little hard. I was almost sent flying back then. I need to deal with the recoil.”

“Hahahaha! The last move where you threw out the G.o.d-Slaying Spear and nailed Zhun Ti on the tree trunk was simply too satisfying!”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I’d better talk about the benefits the twenty-four heavens can bring to the Heavenly Courts and the subsequent arrangements for each Heaven.”

“That’s not important! Tell me first how you dissed Zhun Ti. This Zhun Ti! He has really vented his anger on the Heavenly Courts!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Li Changshou chuckled and was pulled to the steps by the Jade Emperor. He began to describe his extremely angry “mental journey”.

Heavenly Courts, share the story that you have just made up.

…

In the Three Friends Courtyard of the Jade Void Palace.

It was rare for the twelve Golden Immortals to arrive. However, their expressions were gloomy. They lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe.

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning sat on the meditation cus.h.i.+on under the tree. He closed his eyes and focused, as if he was brewing a wave of anger.

Chan School could not tell if they had won or lost the Ten Ultimates Formation.

They had indeed broken the Ten Absolute Arrays and killed the ten Heavenly Lords. Zhao Gongming and the G.o.ddess of Golden Spirit’s bodies had entered the G.o.d-Conferment Platform and could not partic.i.p.ate in the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation.

From this point of view, he had indeed won this round.

However, the Western Sect could be considered their secret ally. They had lost a leg, and their advantage against Jie School was gone. From this point of view, they had lost.

Who would have thought that the official of the Heavenly Courts had the strength to kill a Saint?

He had hidden it too well.

The fake G.o.d-Conferment Thearch.

He had a kind face and white hair. He held a horsetail whisk and went around as a peacemaker. He was mainly responsible for appeasing the emotions of the immortals on the rankings and doing the training of the immortals.

The real G.o.d-Conferment Master.

Once the robe is opened, no one will love it! Mysterious techniques protect the body, and the Saint will cook!

There were still six Saints in this world.

The strength, influence, and deterrence of the Grand Pure One’s disciple, Li Changshou, had completely replaced the original Sixth Saint and even surpa.s.sed him.

Chi Jingzi said in a low voice, “Teacher, I’m sorry. I want to ask Junior Brother Changgeng about his cultivation level. It’s too unbelievable that he can fight the Sixth Saint head-on with just the Great Dao of Equalization.”

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning slowly exhaled and said calmly, “I can’t see through it either. Or rather, I can see through him today. When he attacked today, I felt that I could see through him and realized that he was just pretending previously. According to my observation when he came to the small courtyard last time, he had disguised himself with four levels of cultivation and Dao Realm. One layer was wrapped around the other, and I could naturally see the bottom layer. Today, I only saw three layers of his disguise.”

The immortals of Chan School looked at each other helplessly.

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning continued, “Disciples, don’t be afraid because of this. I often say that cultivating the Dao Heart realm is not your ability to fight. If it conformed to the will of the Heavenly Dao, it would naturally be safe. If the Saints act recklessly, they will also be defeated. Therefore, they cultivate their bodies, cultivate their character, and cultivate their Dao. There is no difference in weight. They should be raised together.”

The disciples of Chan School bowed and said that they would follow their teacher’s instructions.

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning waved his hand and said calmly, “Go back and cultivate. Guang Cheng and Yu Ding will stay.”

Guang Chengzi and Perfected Yu Ding stood still. The other immortals slowly left the courtyard. On the way back, they discussed the battle between the Saints.

The person who was most pleased was Perfected Taiyi.

He was Changgeng’s close friend.

In the future, he would be 30% more confident!

Perfected Taiyi’s eyes lit up. He looked at Wen Shu, who looked like the bottom of a pot. He put his hands into his sleeves and rode a cloud over.

“What a pity. Ah, what a pity. I’ve lost too much this time.”

Wen Shu frowned and said, “Senior Brother, what do you mean?”

“Ah, it’s fine. I just suddenly felt a little emotional.” Perfected Taiyi sighed slowly and said, “In order to force the Golden Light of the ten Heavenly Lords to die, the Sixth Saint lost his life. Isn’t that a huge loss?”

“Hmph!”

Wen Shu snorted coldly. She turned into a red light and flew away. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

Perfected Taiyi squinted and chuckled. Just as he was about to return to the Jade Void Hall to rest, he saw that Huang Long was filled with worries. He rode a cloud and left the Jade Void Palace and the imperial capital.

Taiyi tilted his head and thought about it before following.

After all, they had a good relations.h.i.+p. He roughly knew what Huang Long was depressed about. It was just some treasures.

At the same time, in the Green Touring Palace.

Daoist Duobao fiddled with the “souvenir” that he had obtained at a high price previously. The more he looked at it, the happier he was. The male immortals beside him watched with green eyes.

Good stuff, although they were all fragments.

Heh, look at this violet gold plate. It should have been a violet gold alms bowl. Perhaps the Saint had drunk water.

Looking at the burnt wooden pearls, he felt that they were round in his hand. He could not help but want to coil them.

There was also the half of the meditation cus.h.i.+on, the burnt lotus platform, and the sword hilt.

The Saint’s treasure vault was not as rich as his.

The two Saints of the Western Sect had been calling them poor since ancient times. They did not expect that… they were really honest.

No wonder the disciples of the Western Sect were so mediocre. Even Teacher did not have many decent treasures!

Fortunately, he was cunning enough back then. In the end, the Dao Ancestor still had some useless trinkets left. When it was his turn to choose, he had an idea.

“Hehe, Grandmaster, can I have this Treasure-Splitting Cliff? This is also a treasure, right? I happen to lack a storage Dharma treasure.”

He remembered that his Grandmaster’s face had turned black at that time, but he still gave it to him.

Otherwise, he would be embarra.s.sed.

A group of male immortals mustered their courage and came over. They chuckled and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, let us play with it?”

“Go, go, go! Don’t cause trouble! I haven’t played enough!”

The male immortal left resentfully.

After a while, the G.o.ddess of Turtle Spirit brought a few fairies over and asked softly, “What is this?”

“Ah, the relics of Saint Zhun Ti are all good treasures. It’s just that we can’t use them now.” Daoist Duobao revealed an honest and sincere smile. “Come, Junior Sister. Let’s try it. We can all feel it.”

The male immortals were speechless.

Therefore, it was not unreasonable for there to be many fairies in Jie School.

“Ahem!”

A light cough sounded from the platform. Many disciples who had just returned from the South Continent looked up and hurriedly lined up. They lowered their heads and bowed.

“Greetings, Master.”

“Yes.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the dozens of disciples that he had personally trained and said calmly, “At this point in the Great G.o.d-Conferment Tribulation, both Jie School and Chan School have suffered injuries. Now that we have benefited from Gongming using his body to make up for the deficiency in the Heavenly Dao, Changgeng and Gongming had worked together to kill that saint who had lost his morals… There is no need to mention that name in the future. The Great Tribulation was no longer a battle to the death. The situation was not as tense as before. I will announce three things. Firstly, from today onwards, the disciples of Jie School will keep a low profile in the South Continent. Those who join the Shang Army will work hard for the Shang Army. Don’t fight to the death. Don’t be too pedantic. Secondly, the immortals need not be limited to the Immortal Island overseas. They should go to the Middle Continent to take a look. If they encounter anything, they should not be afraid. Jie School still had to be united. The third thing is to set up the Immortal Slaying Platform. If there are any disciples in Jie School who had evil intentions and deep negative karma, they would incite the immortals of Jie School to fight and kill their physical bodies to reincarnate their souls. Anyone who is willing to enter the G.o.d-Conferment Platform or serve the Heavenly Courts can go to the Heavenly Courts to meet Changgeng. It is no longer the ancient times now. The Heavenly Courts are also not the Demon Court. If he joins the Heavenly Courts, he would have a chance of survival. There is nothing to be ashamed of. However, it still depended on whether the Heavenly Courts accepted him or not. I will no longer take in disciples in the future. You are not allowed to take in disciples in the next thousand years. That’s all.”

The Grandmaster of Heaven waved his hand and left with the wind. The immortals of Jie School lowered their heads and agreed. All of them looked thoughtful.

Master…

He became more enthusiastic.

…

In the Heavenly Courts, on the Little Qiong Peak,

Li Changshou returned from the Lingxiao Hall and sat back on the rocking chair in front of his Pill Chamber. He closed his eyes and rested. He took a deep breath.

What can I do next to increase his chances of winning?

Yes, and it is on the way.

The options in his heart were erased. Li Changshou engraved a new line in his heart.

“a.n.a.lysis and Reservation Plan for the Two Sects of Chan.”

His thoughts were still abnormally clear. The direction that he had to work hard in had also jumped out of the shackles of his previous thoughts.

The Dao Sect had been demoted to the Primordial Daoist Sect to protect the final destiny. The teachings of Ren School, Chan School, and Jie School existed at the same time. The paths were different, and the mountains were different.

That was Chan School and Jie School joining forces.
