My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 229

Chapter 229 Cunning Rabbit

Inside the bean cultivation array formation of Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou, who was studying the new immortal bean cross-breeding technique, felt a strange feeling in his heart. He carefully sensed that something was revolving around him…

The palpitation happened suddenly and quickly. Before he could feel it properly, it disappeared.

Is someone plotting against the disciple of Ren School?

Li Changshou put down the hoe and stopped the farming work in his hand. His expression was very serious.

The sudden palpitation meant that it should be something that was able to threaten his plans… Now, he had relied on the paper effigy to work outside. In order to prevent deductions, not only did he have many small items, but he also had the Grand Pure One to help him to conceal the heavenly secrets.

Could it be that someone in the sect is targeting me?

That is unlikely.

Generally, no one in the sect could threaten him now.

He did not severe his Dao Realm for nothing. Ordinary Golden Immortals no longer had any pressure in front of him. Furthermore, Li Changshou had always been observing the matters within the sect. Any Perfected Immortals or Heaven Immortals who might have a conflict with him would basically be within the scope of his usual “specific inspections”… The spiritual sense of the Qi Refinement cultivators and the palpitation of his heart would definitely not be a baseless story. Li Changshou tidied up the place and quickly checked the various parts of the array formation. Then, he shifted his attention back to his main body. He pinched his fingers with his right hand and began to calculate carefully.

In just a few breaths' time, he had an outcome. He gave up on that meaningless act and took out a pen and paper to analyze it. There was nothing he could do about it. He could deduce that that mystical ability was related to his age, cultivation level, and the distance between him and the Heavenly Dao. In fact, he was just checking the heavenly secrets. What caught Li Changshou by surprise was that the palpitation quickly appeared again, but it disappeared soon after.

After a while, Li Changshou received his third wave of spiritual perception and palpitation… What the hell?

Could it be that the person who could threaten me is still hesitating?

Li Changshou frowned and looked at the crisscrossed storylines on the paper. He could not help but mutter to himself.

There were only four ways to threaten his main body. Firstly, a mighty figure might suddenly lose his temper and insist on destroying the Immortal Du Sect.

The second would be to find his main body based on the loopholes left behind by the paper effigies. Third, it was the old friend, Ao Yi, who could link the Immortal Du Sect disciple to the Sea God of the South Ocean.

The fourth possibility was rather absurd, but it was also possible that the old Saint did not like him and decided to blow him into pieces…

The most likely possibility was the second and third.

He could first eliminate them.

Li Changshou immediately used his spiritual will to contact Ao Yi. The two of them connected their spiritual wills between the statue of the City Lord Temple of Anshui City and entered the dream. Li Changshou questioned Ao Yi carefully, making the Second Sect Master nervous.

Fortunately, the Second Sect Master managed to withstand the investigation…

Li Changshou asked Ao Yi a few more questions about the current direction of public opinion on Golden Ao Island.

According to what Ao Yi had seen with his own eyes, after the Goddess of Golden Light returned to Golden Ao Island, she had found many good friends and explained clearly that the “fate” between the Sea God of the South Ocean and the Jie School was not deliberately planned by the Sea God, and that the Sea God did not plot against their Senior Brother Gongming. The Goddess of Golden Light even praised the Sea God of the South Ocean, commending him for being dedicated to the Dao Sect without gaining any karma. She had negated half of the baseless rumors about the Sea God of the South Ocean that were spreading in Jie School…

After cutting off the spiritual connection, Li Changshou stared at the white paper in front of him again. The probability of the third option was reduced by more than half.

The most likely scenario… Did the Great Daoist Master say something wrong and let the cat out of the bag? Ahem, something might have happened to the paper effigy… The paper effigy was not a perfect mystical ability. Even though Li Changshou had put in all his effort to perfect it, it still left many hidden dangers behind.

Li Changshou knew about those hidden dangers from the beginning. He had also taken precautions. “It seems that the precautions are not enough.” Li Changshou pondered for a few moments. He looked at the two Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, closed his eyes, and focused. He mobilized the paper effigies from all over the place, allowing them to hide deeper. If they were not safe, they could destroy themselves.

Not long after, Li Changshou completed a self-examination.

The throbbing in his heart appeared again…

“You haven't made up your mind yet?” Li Changshou frowned slightly. If he had the abilities of the Great Daoist Master, he would really tear the universe apart and ask if the other party wanted to attack.

Of course, it would be best if they never attacked…

At the same time, in an inconspicuous Cave Abode at the foot of the mountain, Daoist Wen Jing lay on the couch and looked at the trembling blood cocoon in her palm. At times, she frowned slightly, and at other times, her brows relaxed…

She was indeed hesitating.

It was not that she was hesitating between the Ren School and Western Sect.

Anyone would make a wise choice as long as they did not lose their intelligence. In her opinion, the trash from the Western Sect could not defeat the few people from the Ren School.

She could clearly sense that she, the Queen, was a pawn that could be abandoned at any time in the Western Sect… Take the arrangement of the Saint's disciple this time as an example. Yesterday, the Saint's disciple gave her that blood cocoon and even said something like 'important'…

Does he really think that I'm that innocent girl who's easy to deceive?

No matter who it was, apart from the Saint's personal visit to investigate the Sea God of the South Ocean, the final outcome was still the Taiji Painting's warning What did that mean?

It meant that the Sea God of the South Ocean was extremely important in Ren School and could receive the protection of the Saints!

Let's not consider her identity as the “Ren School spy with beautiful legs”.

He wanted her to use that butterfly to find the true body of the South Ocean Sea God and kill him. In fact, it was equivalent to throwing her into the Tushita Palace's Eight Trigrams Furnace.

If she attacked and succeeded, how could that man, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, not kill her?

Besides, the Sea God of the South Ocean who was the little Daoist Master of Ren School, was the only person she had contacted. Why would she do something that would destroy her own life… Daoist Wen Jing was not worried about how she should deal with that matter.

As long as she told the Sea God of the South Ocean about that, he would naturally have a way to resolve

it.

Now, what she was hesitating about was…

Should I use this thing to find this little Daoist Master's real body and make fun of him? Daoist Wen Jing squinted her narrow phoenix-like eyes once again. There was a hint of playfulness in her gaze. She had been schemed against too many times by the Sea God of the South Ocean. As a result, she felt a little resentful… “Hmph, I'm going to do it just because I want to. What can they do about it?” At that moment, Daoist Wen Jing sat up for the sixth time. Her fingertips seemed to be about to pierce through the blood cocoon immediately. However, her slender fingers were just a millimeter away from it when she stopped…

Although it was true that she could vent her anger after finding that fellow's main body, she had lost too much because of it. It would cause her to anger the Sea God of the South Ocean much more easily…

Scared?

Of course, she was not scared. She was just a little compliant on the basis of rational thinking.

Daoist Wen Jing kept thinking about how she had met the third person of Ren School several times…

Every time, she would discover something new. Every time, that fellow would make her feel more afraid.

Moreover, there was a high possibility that the little Daoist Master was not just a member of Ren School, and that the Saint behind him might not only be the Grand Pure One.

Forget it, I should discuss this with him in secret…

Daoist Wen Jing was just about to retract her finger when a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and pierced the blood cocoon. Who was she?

She was the queen of the Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes. She was a powerful expert who rode on the sea of blood back then! The blood cocoon split open. Wisps of sanguine light gathered. A butterfly that flickered with a beam of cold green light that was translucent danced gently and landed on Daoist Wen Jing's fingertips. Hmph! As long as I find you!

At most, I'll just admit my mistake. Can you still kill

me?

It's here! In the secret underground chamber, Li Changshou's mind was jolted. At that moment, his spiritual senses were beating very clearly. The other party still attacked! Li Changshou held his breath and immediately stood up. He used the smoke from Ling'e's mouth and escaped out of the secret underground chamber. His main body rode a cloud and rushed towards the Heaven-Breaking Peak. When he arrived at the Hundred Mortal Hall and walked to the portrait of the Saint, Li Changshou took out three thick and long incense sticks from his sleeve. He extended them for the Saint and knelt down sincerely.

He thought, I have nothing to ask for. I'm just here to offer you some incense and ask for peace of mind.

He acted just like how he would when he usually offered incense once every three months. There was nothing unusual about the portrait. The elders who were in charge of external affairs were already used to that. Li Changshou closed his eyes and quietly waited for the danger to descend. He opened his mind and focused his attention on the vital spots. They were the Dao Sect of the Immortal Du Sect, the Sea God Temple in Anshui City near the South Ocean, and the hiding place of the paper effigy army in the East Ocean.

However, Li Changshou's heart tensed up for two hours. He suddenly felt a sense of danger! Li Changshou's spiritual will immediately landed in an inconspicuous Sea God Temple… However, he was half a step late. He only caught a tall and burly figure who had left on a cloud. The other party's cultivation level was not weak. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon…

There was indeed an enemy.

Li Changshou immediately wanted to activate the paper effigy to attack and test the waters. However, he suppressed that thought. He could not be impatient. If he had not guessed wrongly, the other party had deliberately alarmed him, possibly because he wanted to lure his incarnation out… He was used to being steady and watched what the other party was up to.

Another hour passed… The figure once again appeared in the Sea God Temple in a large city. He only walked around for a while and deliberately revealed his realm.

Peak Heaven Immortal realm?

According to a conservative estimation, it might be a Golden Immortal in disguise.

It was obvious that he was luring his incarnation out…

It better not be an attack from the Western Sect again. Li Changshou pondered for a while. He was determined to avoid the situation. In the next half a day, the other party had appeared six times in a row. One time, he had even deliberately gotten into a conflict with the Divine Envoys of Xiong Village and injured two of them. However, Li Changshou's incarnation did not show his face at all. It continued… being steady. “Aren't you going to take the bait?”

In a rift in the seabed of the South Sea, Daoist Wen Jing's mouth twitched.

As expected of the Sea God who could subdue her, he was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. His sense of smell was extremely sharp.

“I really want to compete with you today.”

At that moment, the corners of Daoist Wen Jing's mouth curled up and she revealed a charming and intoxicating smile. She began to plan… a huge matter.

On the other side, Li Changshou stood up and left the portrait of the Saint.

It was unreasonable for him to keep kneeling there. Half a day was often the limit whenever he paid respects.

However, it was impossible for him to move at such a dangerous moment. In the dark and dangerous environment of the Primordial World, only the portraits of the Grand Pure One and the backyard of the Tushita Palace could give him enough warmth. Li Changshou let out a soft moan and frowned. The Dao runes around him trembled slightly, making him look like he was about to break through…

He hurriedly asked, “Elder, can I temporarily enter seclusion here?”

“Hurry, breaking through is a big matter!”

“Thank you, Elder.” Li Changshou bowed and immediately sat down on the left side of the portrait. He set up a magical barrier around him. Two Perfected Immortal realm elders who were in charge of external affairs beside him had helped him add two layers of immortal power boundaries… He had not served the spiritual fish and spiritual meat for nothing. In the next half a month, Li Changshou was in seclusion in the Hundred Mortal Hall to break through. His cultivation level seemed to be about to break through a small realm, but it also seemed that he did not have enough strength.

In reality, he was only secretly fighting with that invisible opponent… The other party's attacks came one after another. There were in many different styles, but they were slightly stronger on the outside. What made Li Changshou feel strange was that the other party would stop at all times, as if he was afraid of something… It made Li Changshou feel confused.

However, in the past three days, the level of trouble that the other party had caused had reached the point where he would cause mortal casualties and increase his negative karma. Li Changshou weighed the pros and cons in his head. Even if it was just a little negative karma, he was still as stable as a mountain. He was not moved at all.

The other party seemed to be just putting on an act. He did not really attack mortals. The few times he caused trouble, he did not finish what he started… The other party is also afraid of negative karma? Li Changshou thought to himself. Three days later, the person in the dark saw that he could not force the Sea God's incarnation to appear. Hence, he seemed to have given up temporarily… However, how could Li Changshou let his guard down?

He had a lot of patience. Now, he was only at the fifth stage of steadiness…

Suddenly, Li Changshou realized that someone was spying on his essence soul! Alarm bells rang in his head. His spiritual will immediately landed on a statue of the Sea God… He saw a green butterfly fly up from the tip of his statue's nose and land on the burly man's palm… The man smiled coldly, turned around, and left the Sea God Temple in a hurry.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Just… this? The green butterfly should be a mutated beast that could track the power of the essence soul. It matched perfectly with one of the few scenarios that Li Changshou had previously deduced. Li Changshou felt relieved. He shifted his attention to a large Sea God Temple somewhere else and waited quietly for the other party to come. Four hours later, the burly man arrived on a cloud. He followed the butterfly's guidance and landed in the backyard of the huge temple. He saw an old man quietly sweeping the leaves in a corner. The burly man said indifferently, “Are you the Sea God of the South Ocean?” The old man did not reply. He raised his head and smiled. He nodded slightly, but his body was suddenly engulfed by the flames and turned into ashes instantly.

It was an ordinary paper doll.

It was just a drop of Li Changshou's blood essence that mixed with the weak power of his essence soul and his Dao runes… The burly man was stunned. The butterfly flapped its wings again and pointed in another direction.

The burly man snorted coldly and rode the cloud again, heading towards the next Sea God Temple. Just like that… in four to five days, the burly man followed the butterfly and circled around the South Ocean's shore. He went to eighteen temples and witnessed everything… the self-destruction of eighteen ordinary paper effigies. “Ah! Not a human!”

In a rift of a stone at the bottom of the South Sea, Daoist Wen Jing grabbed two strands of her hair tightly. She gritted her teeth and her face was ferocious. She had cursed the Western Sect countless times over the past few days.

She did not dare to determine whether the Sea God of the South Ocean Sect, who was the little Daoist Master of the Ren School was vicious or not. However, he was definitely an extremely cunning person!

They say that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. What is this?

He probably has three hundred of them!

Does the Western Sect still want to fight with Ren School just with this? Just admit defeat, you won't

win!

Suddenly, Daoist Wen Jing heard a familiar voice through the Blood Mosquito puppets… “Have you had enough fun, Wen?”
